The next day, at noon, Johnny, who had received the notice, knocked on the door and pushed it open after getting consent.
"Professor Lin En, are you looking for me?" The silver-gray-haired witch gently closed the door, holding the Arcane Mathematics notes in her hand, and asked in a coquettish tone.
Lynn was not in a hurry to talk about business, but looked at Johnny and asked curiously.
"It's been so many days, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Since coming to the wizarding land, he has done a lot of things, which is very different from his original self, Carl, a nobleman who had only studied magic for half a year.
A look of hesitation emerged on Johnny's face. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally shook his head and spoke very seriously.
"If it weren't for you in Nordland, I would have died a long time ago."
This is also the reason why she is willing to trust Lin En and keep secrets for him. After all, he saved her twice.
Lin En nodded, but soon asked again. "Just a few days ago, I received an invitation letter, which mentioned the name Karl..."
"But I have never revealed your identity information to anyone else." Johnny frowned and said with certainty.
But she soon found that her defense was powerless because she was the only one who knew the other person's identity.
The silver-gray-haired witch bit her lip, but could not think of any way to prove herself.
"I know it's not you." Lynn was not surprised.
He still trusted Johnny. Firstly, they established a comradeship on the road of escape. Secondly, when he was in Harbor Town, the other party was willing to risk his life to break into the prison and save him.
Plus with the interests tied together, the possibility of betrayal is minimal...
"I'm just worried that someone will analyze something from what you said." Lynn explained, and then asked Johnny about the people he had met in recent days and when they talked about the past of the Sekas Empire.
The silver-gray-haired witch thought as she spoke. In the two months since she came to the wizarding land, she had rarely gone out. She had only talked about it with the apprentices at Yieta Academy, and only said a few words because she was annoyed by the questions.
And all of them were the excuses they had thought of on the Sea of Misty Sea, namely, after Kelu was captured, several of their apprentices, led by Lynn, barely managed to break out of the Vatican's pursuit.
But except for two people, all the others fell into the pursuit of the Holy See.
After careful questioning, Lynn finally gave up the idea of looking for clues from Johnny because there were no omissions in the other party's words.
“By the way, I called you here this time for another important matter.” Lin En took out a bottle of dark red potion and placed it on the table.
"What is this?" Johnny asked curiously.
"【Source of Magic Power】!" Lin En said word by word.
The silver-gray-haired witch's expression became extremely surprised. She looked at Lin En, then turned her gaze to the bottle of dark red [Source of Magic].
The potion in front of him was undoubtedly something any apprentice would very much desire.
This is the certificate for promotion to an official wizard!
Johnny is different from him. Before entering the wizarding land, he studied magic with Kelu for four years. With his talent, he is probably very close to promotion.
At first, Lin En planned to find an apprentice to conduct the experiment directly at the manor in Ladakh, but after some consideration, he felt it was a waste.
Although this [Source of Magic] is a weakened version, with only ten grams of Death Eye Epic added as a primer, according to his calculations, the effect is still much stronger than the [Source of Magic] made with ordinary materials.
It would be bad for him to help an apprentice get promoted and then kill him to keep it secret, right? Although the wizard apprentices in the manor helped Radak do a lot of dirty work, they had no grudges against him, so there was no need for him to do such a thing.
Not to mention that a portion of the Eye of Death's spiritual essence is extremely precious. After a series of experiments and brewing two potions, there are only less than 50 grams left, so it needs to be used sparingly.
Another point is that if the target is changed to Johnny, the identity problem will be easily solved later.
As long as the witch applies for graduation after a while and is approved by herself, she can become a formal wizard recognized by the parliament after a few procedures! "This potion is slightly different. I brewed it myself. The effect should be more powerful than the one issued by the parliament, and the chance of promotion is also higher. But I am not 100% sure. There may be side effects. In short, everything is unknown... If you don't want to take risks, forget it."
Lynn explained the pros and cons very concisely, and had no intention of deceiving the other party into taking the medicine.
However, Johnny's attention was not on this, nor did he ask what the so-called side effects were. He took a deep breath and suddenly asked.
"So… you're not an official wizard yet, are you?"
She was not stupid, and of course she could guess the purpose of Lin En taking out the [Source of Magic Power].
Lin En fell silent and did not answer. Starting tomorrow, the title of wizard apprentice would be removed from his head!
But sometimes silence is also an answer. Johnny immediately realized that he had guessed right, and the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly.
What puzzled her most these days was that Lynn's promotion speed was too exaggerated.
If Lin En really has three-ring magic, then the so-called super genius in the wizarding land - [Magic Star] Ogest, is probably not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
But now it seems that they are all just wizard apprentices, and Lin En should have used other means to release powerful magic.
This is not impossible. For example, if you use the power of the [Magic Hand], you can use first-level higher-level magic five times a day.
If Lin En was appreciated by a great wizard or even a legendary wizard in the [Mystical Society] and obtained several alchemical items that could cast three-ring magic, it would be normal.
Thinking of this, Johnny picked up the [Source of Magic] on the table, and out of trust in Lin En, he drank it without hesitation.
Compared with the extremely small probability of side effects, she paid more attention to what Lin En said about the higher probability of promotion.
No apprentice dares to say that he can definitely cross this chasm! Even the slightest improvement is very important!
Lin En kept a close eye on Johnny's changes. The second important reason for him to find someone to experiment with was to see what the promotion process was like and whether there was anything he could learn from it...
