Chapter 37

Early in the morning, Jiang Li got up and went to the other world, opening the door of the supermarket.

The shopping streets in Dore City were still decorated with decorations for the Winter Snow Festival. The festival lasted for three days, and the residents were still immersed in the joy of the Winter Snow Festival. During these days, even the opening hours of the shops on the shopping streets were delayed.

Jiang Li used magic to clear the snow on the street. Other shops were not open yet, but the smell of wheat baking was already coming from the bakery.

"Boss Jiang Li?" The bakery owner pushed the door open and walked out. Seeing the clean floor at the door, she smiled and said, "You helped us sweep the snow again. Thank you so much."

Jiang Li replied, "Nothing."

"By the way, wait a moment."

The bakery owner turned around and went back to the store. After a while, she came out again with a paper bag of bread in her hands. She said, "This is the new bread I made specially for the Winter Snow Festival. If you don't mind, please take it back and try it. I also added jam bought from the supermarket!"

Jiang Li certainly didn't mind and thanked her gratefully. The bread was freshly baked, and the residual warmth could still be felt through the paper bag. The sweet smell came out of the paper bag, which smelled very tempting.

Speaking of which, Jiang Li also participated in the Winter Snow Festival yesterday. He wanted to try the new bread, but unfortunately...

"I heard that you sold a food called mixed grain pancakes at the Winter Snow Festival yesterday?" The bakery owner said curiously and disappointedly: "I wanted to buy one to try, but I went too late and you had already gone back."

"I didn't expect it to be so popular, so I didn't prepare enough batter in advance." Jiang Li said helplessly: "I will sell pancakes again tonight. If you are interested, I can save one for you."

The bakery owner was immediately happy: "That's great!"

The two simply said a few words and returned to their respective stores to prepare for today's business.

When customers come to the supermarket today, most of them are also talking about yesterday's mixed grain pancakes. The tricycle had limited space, and Jiang Li only brought a bucket of batter, which was gone once it was sold out. But there were so many residents in Dolei City, and that bucket of batter was not enough to give each person a pancake, not to mention that some people had to line up for several times.

Lalan Continent had never had such a delicacy before. People who had eaten the mixed-grain pancakes were still not satisfied and wanted to try them again. People like the bakery owner who went too late and didn't buy any, after hearing about the deliciousness of the mixed-grain pancakes from others, were even more eager to try them.

Jiang Li responded one by one, and when he learned that he would sell them again tonight, the customers left happily.

Just after seeing off a group of customers who came to ask about the mixed-grain pancakes, another customer was notified at the door.

Jiang Li looked up and saw the familiar silver-haired elf appear at the door. He was still wearing the gray robe and nodded coldly at Jiang Li as a greeting.

Jiang Li shouted enthusiastically: "Teacher!"

That's right.

After last night, the powerful elf has become his teacher, and from today on, he will teach him how to learn magic. The process of becoming an apprentice in the other world is not that complicated. Before they parted last night, the new teacher told him that he would come to see him early tomorrow morning.

Thinking of what the elf said yesterday, Jiang Li couldn't help wiping his sweat even after a night. As a human with a lifespan of only a fraction of that of an elf, he really couldn't object to having his teacher to take care of his death.

But who would refuse a teacher for free, and a great magician who was at the top of the other world?

God knows, self-taught magic will always encounter various difficulties. If it weren't for the restrictions, Jiang Li would still want to go to the magic school to take classes. He really needs a teacher to teach him!

Jiang Li diligently brought a bench: "Teacher, please sit down."

He also took out the magic book he had borrowed from Augustus before, and some of Ophelia's old textbooks in the magic school, and asked eagerly: "Where do we start learning?"

Messenner glanced at his textbook: "You don't need these. Follow me." After saying that, he turned and left.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, quickly put down his textbook, and quickly followed.

"Where are we going?"

"The magic shop."

"Ah?"

Messenner said, "As a magician, you need a staff."

The magic shop is at the end of the shopping street. It sells all kinds of magic-related props. In addition to those expensive magic props, there is also a small area selling magicians' necessities. Various kinds of staffs are displayed on the shelves. They are made of wood from magical plants, with various magic arrays engraved inside and crystals full of magic inlaid on the surface. The appearance styles are either simple or gorgeous, and some staffs have exquisite carvings.

The magicians in the other world all have a staff in their hands. Every child with magical talent will come here under the guidance of their elders to buy their own magic staff. Jiang Li was also led over by his teacher.

Jiang Li was very excited and rubbed his hands: "How should I choose?"

Messenner looked at him strangely: "Choose the style you like."

"Style?"

"The functions of the wands are all the same."

Jiang Li was embarrassed. He thought there would be a process of choosing the owner of the wand...

Jiang Li quickly picked out a wand that suited his eyes from the shelf. There were no exquisite carvings, and the appearance did not look special, even a little ordinary, but the grip was polished very smooth and felt good to hold.

In addition to the wand, he also bought a magic pocket for storing the wand on the recommendation of the clerk. When you don't need it, you can put it in your pocket and take it out whenever you want to use it.

He tried the new wand with great interest. The book said that the wand is an important partner of magicians, but Jiang Li did not have a clear concept yet.

He mobilized the magic power to gather in his palm, and conducted it from the part where his palm and the staff were in contact. Compared with the past, the flow of magic power this time was incredibly smooth. He

casually swung the staff and used his skilled fireball technique. Before Jiang Li could react, a huge flame suddenly appeared in front of him, and the oncoming heat almost burned his bangs. The elf's green eyes glanced over lightly, and a spherical barrier appeared out of thin air, wrapping the huge flames. The barrier became smaller and smaller, and the flames inside became smaller and smaller until they disappeared, saving the shopping street from a sudden fire.

Jiang Li looked at the staff in his hand with lingering fear: "This... this..."

"You used too much magic power."

"But I just used the fireball technique like usual?"

"The staff is the assistant of the magician. It can channel the magician's magic power and use less magic power to use magic." Messenner looked at the active magic elements around him: "Didn't you find that when you use magic without a staff, most of the magic power will escape and not be effectively used."

Jiang Li really didn't find it.

When the teacher pointed it out, he remembered that he had seen it in the textbook of the magic academy. It mentioned the importance of the staff to a magician, but because Jiang Li was very good at using the staffless magic, he didn't pay attention to it.

Relying on self-study alone, he really missed a lot of common sense.

Jiang Li asked humbly: "Then how should I solve this problem?"

Messenner said lightly: "Practice."

Jiang Li understood.

He practiced non-stop until he got used to the existence of the staff, could control his magic power, and cast the fireball spell with the least magic power, then this problem would be solved.

He touched his bangs. The flames were too strong just now and burned a few strands of hair.

Messenner glanced in the direction of the sun and said, "Today's class ends here."

"What?"

Before Jiang Li could react, the elf turned around and strode forward, leaving only the back of his student with his gray robe raised.

Jiang Li quickly put the staff into his magic pocket, and quickly chased after him, asking: "Teacher, is this all we are going to learn today? When is the next class? Where should I find you?"

"Wait until you learn to control your magic power before the second class."

"But..."

Messenner glanced at his new disciple, his face full of desire for knowledge, and patiently explained: "When your magic power is unstable, any learning is in vain."

"Okay."

Jiang Li glanced at the direction he was going and asked: "Are you planning to leave the city?"

"Yes."

"Is there something important?" His steps were so hurried.

Messenner looked solemn: "Lunch time is almost here."

After the last competition between the two, the young city lord of Dolei City came with a group of guards to warn that the use of flying magic is prohibited in the city-state. In addition to transportation, you can only walk.

He had to go out of the city to fight magic missions. Only after he earned money could he go to the restaurant to enjoy a delicious lunch.

The elf's stomach made a hungry rumble, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the city gate.

Jiang Li: "..."

Don't be like this! It sounds too pitiful!

If it was before, Jiang Li could still sit back and do nothing, but now that the silver-haired elf has become his magic teacher, he can no longer ignore it.

Jiang Li hurriedly pulled him back: "Teacher, I'll take you to the restaurant for dinner."

"Huh?"

Messenner glanced at him, and the new disciple looked at him eagerly.

However, it has always been the master who taught the students, and when has there been a student who nurtured the master in return. What's more, his students are so young.

He brushed away his disciple's hand and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I'm very strong."

Messenner thought for a moment and promised, "When I come back, I can treat you to potatoes."

Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He took out his wallet. After buying the staff, he still had a lot of money left. The coins made a jingling sound as he shook them.

"Just consider it as my tuition. You know, my supermarket business is very good and I'm not short of money."

Jiang Li recalled that he had eaten shredded potatoes for several days in a row and couldn't help but say, "You like eating potatoes so much. In addition to shredded potatoes, don't you want to try other ways to cook them? Dry pot potatoes, pepper and salt potatoes, sweet and sour potatoes, wolf tooth potatoes..."

Messenner paused, "Huh?"

He had never heard of any of the methods.

Jiang Li continued, "In addition to potatoes, there are many delicious vegetables. Although it is winter now, but... By the way, when it comes to vegetarian food, it has to be tofu. There are so many soy products, whether it is dried tofu, tofu shreds, tofu skin, they are all delicious when made into dishes."

The elf's footsteps have completely stopped.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at his student without blinking.

Tofu?

What is that?
