"Compared to delicious food, I am more interested in how to improve my magic!"
Although her belly was slightly bulging from eating so much, Nia still stubbornly stated her position.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, what works have you created recently? When I go out in a couple of days, I'll see if I can help you sell them."
Knowing that Nia was just being stubborn, Carl didn't say much.
If you see the truth but don't speak it out loud, you can still be friends.
"Well, I haven't made any breakthroughs recently. The alchemical potions I made are still the same as before. If you can sell them, please help me exchange them for..."
She named the materials she needed as if she was reading out a dish. When Carl heard the list of things for the first time, he even thought that Nia was going to do wholesale.
"Does your school of change need to conduct experiments of this scale at this stage?"
Under Nia's dissatisfied gaze, Carl took out a blank piece of draft paper from his backpack and asked the other party to repeat the list of materials just now.
While taking notes, he also did not forget to complain about the scale of these materials.
"It's better than the schools of enchantment, conjuration, necromancy, evocation, protection, prophecy, and illusion. We can sell the products after we finish our experiments to make up for the losses, but when their experimental materials are used up, they are gone forever."
The mages of the School of Transmutation mostly study the knowledge of this school around how to make the "Philosopher's Stone".
Their sixth-level school feature, [Stone of Change], is a by-product of their research on the Philosopher's Stone.
Therefore, even if their experiments failed, at least there would be many alchemical potions or magical materials left as by-products.
But other schools of thought are not so "comfortable".
For example, the School of Shaping spent a lot of gold coins on research, but in the end it just to hear some results.
Among the nine wizard towers in Akanix, the School of Evolution is the poorest.
Of course, there are gains and losses, and their combat effectiveness and destructive power are also recognized to be high.
After writing down the magic materials Nia needed one by one, Carl looked at the almost full page of draft paper and felt for the first time that it was a good thing that he had chosen the path of a machinist.
With so many materials, not only do you have to be familiar with their medicinal properties, but you also have to conduct in-depth research on the effects when mixed with other materials, and you also have to understand the principles of this effect. This is even worse than those who studied Chinese medicine and chemistry in previous lives.
At least people can memorize it at the beginning, but if the wizard himself does not understand the principles, it will not help them understand the spell.
This money is wasted.
"Um~, Nia, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Considering that his cheat can only be used in dreams, Carl has been trying to get enough sleep.
He now only has a general understanding of the things Nia explained to him, and he still needs to go to the dream world to digest it.
"Hmm? Is it late? But it's only nine o'clock in the evening, Carl! Have you been a little too lazy lately?"
Seeing that Carl wanted to go to bed at nine o'clock, Nia immediately took out the energy of a study committee member and wanted to drag Carl to study until late at night.
But unfortunately, she was short and her strength was completely suppressed by Carl.
Karl picked her up and threw her into her own room, then quickly lay down on the sofa and entered the dream world.
The satisfaction brought by the carbohydrates made Nia a little sleepy, so she reluctantly washed up and went to bed.
…
"Don't worry, bro! After Lisanna arrives at the Tower of Wonders, Carl will definitely take good care of her!"
At the dinner table, Carl's father Ryan made a lot of promises to Lisana's father.
Lisanna was one year younger than Carl. Shortly after Carl was admitted to Akanix, she followed her parents to the capital of Eluden, Greenheart City, and enrolled in the Druid Academy run by the legendary Druid, Aoelian, and became a ranger apprentice.
Coincidentally, Queen Aundair had just recently been seeking help with the international situation, so in order to deepen the relationship between the two countries, the Druid College and Akanix started an exchange student business.
Of course, the mage students of Akanix are definitely not willing to go to the Druid College, so this time it is just a unilateral move to allow the students of the Druid College to come to Akanix to study.
As for what a ranger would go to the Mage Academy to learn? The answer is Artificer!
And it is a sub-profession of the Artificer - the Cannon Master.
The Artillerist can magically summon a small or micro mana turret.
Small mana turrets are similar to mortars, while micro mana cannons can be used with one hand.
If a ranger can use this one-handed magic cannon, his combat capability will be doubled.
And if the ranger chooses hunter as the sub-class, the value of this part-time job will continue to increase.
In the living room, Hope was recounting for the umpteenth time what happened to him and Carl in the dungeon.
Lisanna lay on the sofa, listening attentively, and from time to time she would have some interesting reactions to the story that Hope was telling.
"Wow! The dungeon is so dangerous! It's not easy for you and Karl to come back safely!"
Looking at Hope with tears in her eyes, Lisanna held Hope's hand, as if she had put herself in Hope and Carl's original situation.
Hope felt somewhat ashamed of himself seeing this pitiful appearance.
Although the situation in the dungeon was indeed dangerous, the two of them had never actually fought against the goblin army and the mind flayers.
According to Carl, at best it was just "killing a wave of wild monsters."
"It's not as difficult as you think. The two of us are actually doing pretty well. In the beginning, Carl built a wooden house, and later we found an underground cave to hide in."
Speaking of this, Hope suddenly remembered that the adamantine key from the giant was still with her.
Carl did not take it with him when he left, which made Hope feel that Carl trusted her.
After all, a key made of pure gold is valuable enough in terms of material alone, not to mention that it may be a key item to a secret relic.
"Hmm~, you guys are pretty amazing! I can't imagine how I could survive if I fell into a place like that at level 1!"
Lisanna leaned towards Hope dejectedly, and rubbed her little head against Hope.
Touching Lisanna's head, Hope always felt like she had a younger sister now.
This made her feel a little more at home with Eruden.
Nowhere else would there be a girl as cute as Lisanna to act coquettishly with her.
"Oh! By the way! Sister Hope, you will be going to Bixin City to study Druidry soon, right? You have to remember! If you see any animals in school, don't touch them rashly! They may be our seniors or teachers!"
