Merlin's eyes were a little dark. He was now lying on the bed thinking about life. He was already very tired yesterday, but he didn't expect that there would be a monkey plague outside the senior dormitory. A group of beasts were roaring outside all night.
That was a whole night! Damn it!
Merlin could always hear in his ears——
"What the hell, what is this! This is so delicious!"
"Goddess of Light, this is the first time I've eaten something so delicious. It totally overturned my imagination!"
"It's just a small piece of chicken, but the flavors are so layered."
"My life is complete!"
"Beggar's chicken is definitely the food of the gods!"
"Merlin, he's really amazing. He's definitely the greatest alchemist!"
Maybe because tomorrow is a holiday, amid the shouting of these beasts, someone suggested that they just use this beggar's chicken to have a party to celebrate the fact that they are having such delicious food.
This proposal was instantly recognized by the students, so they returned to their dormitories, took out the food they brought from their hometowns, and began to share with each other. Of course, a party cannot be without beer.
They are all aristocratic students living in high-end dormitories, how could they not hide alcohol? So the party named after Lotus Leaf Beggar's Chicken was started.
What a bunch of unlucky people these guys are. They can actually have a party while eating beggar's chicken in lotus leaves!
Merlin rubbed his aching head and walked to his window. Looking down, he saw a mess on the ground. His classmates from the senior dormitory were lying all over the place. The ground was littered with post-meal garbage and wine bottles. The strong smell of alcohol was particularly strong.
Merlin had only one thought in his mind as he looked at the scene downstairs, which was to move. From what he could remember, he discovered that these guys living in the high-end dormitories had suddenly held parties more than once or twice, and each time it was extremely noisy.
Beep, beep.
Merlin suddenly felt a strong vibration in his crotch. He reached out and took out the communication crystal that Old Deng had given him.
After a while——
The garden under the Arcane Academy and the Mage Tower.
Hess Jones Weber had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Merlin walking towards him lazily, he felt very anxious and irritated. He waved his hand, and a breeze gushed out from outside the garden, dragging Merlin to his front.
"Old Deng, why are you looking for me so early?"
Merlin gave Old Deng a lot of face and tidied up a little in the dormitory before coming out. He yawned and turned his head to see something that looked like a kiln behind Weber.
"It's not a good habit to keep old people waiting!" Waver tapped the ground in front of him with his cane.
Merlin rolled his eyes and said, "I rushed here as fast as I could after you sent the message. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Then can't you just go faster? Is it that hard to speed up? Or maybe just cast a teleportation spell..."
Merlin's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly stopped Weber from saying, "You think I'm some great wizard, teleporting? I'm already giving you enough face by running all the way here."
After saying that, Merlin walked to the kiln in front of him and turned around twice. "Old Deng, what is this?"
When Waver heard Merlin's question, he straightened his hunched body with some pride, pointed at the kiln in front of him with his cane and said, "It's just a little thing I made casually. It's not worth mentioning."
Merlin said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. But Weber was unhappy when he saw his attitude. How could he pretend to be cool if you didn't ask him further?
"Wait, even though it's just a gadget, it's also an alchemy tool that I made specifically for you."
Merlin could probably guess what it was made of by looking at its shape. "Is this a kiln specifically used for making lotus leaf beggar's chicken?"
Weber instantly wilted, looking at Merlin with an unhappy face. This kid could really guess what was going on.
"You are really good, kid! That's right, this is the alchemy tool made specifically for you. This kiln can control the temperature inside with magic power, and the rack inside can be constantly turned over so that the lotus leaf beggar chicken can be heated evenly. It is definitely more efficient than your traditional method of making beggar chicken."
Merlin really didn't expect that Old Deng would be so crazy about beggar's chicken that he directly created an alchemical tool specifically for roasting lotus leaf beggar's chicken.
If this kiln is used properly, it can be used for more than just making beggar's chicken. It can also be used to forge weapons and refine potions.
"Old Deng, the thing is great, but I don't have that much magic power to control it. You should be able to see that I'm just an apprentice magician [Level 2], and my own magic power is simply not enough to control such a thing."
Weber snorted. "Of course I know you're just a magic apprentice, so I installed a crystal on this kiln that can store the magic power of high-level magicians. You only need to use the stored magic power to bake the lotus leaf beggar's chicken."
Merlin's eyes widened when he heard what the other party said, "Old Deng, you put a magic crystal that can hold the magic power of a high-level magician in this thing?"
It's no wonder Merlin was surprised. In this world, most alchemical products require the injection of external magic power before they can be used. Most of them rely on magic stones, magic beast crystal cores and magic crystals as the magical power of alchemical props.
Among them, magic crystals are props made by alchemists using magic stones and magic beast crystal cores that can store magic multiple times. They are alchemical props themselves and belong to high-level alchemical energy materials. Reusable magic crystals are many times better than disposable magic stones and magic beast crystal cores.
Therefore, the price of magic crystals is also quite expensive. A high-level magician is already at the fifth level. The magic crystals that can store the magic power of a high-level magician can be sold on the market for at least 50,000 gold coins.
If I sell this thing, I can directly pay off one tenth of the debt! How rich is this old Deng?
Merlin looked at Old Deng in front of him. Weber was a little proud to see his shocked expression. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the extremely handsome young man in front of him kneel down in front of him.
? ? ?
"Merlin has been wandering for half his life, and he only regrets that he has never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, Merlin is willing to be your foster father!"
When Weber heard Merlin's words, he exclaimed in his heart, what the hell is wrong with this kid? Why is he so arrogant? I was just greedy for your beggar's chicken, but you actually want to be my son!
Boom boom boom——
Waver hit Merlin's head wildly with his cane. "What nonsense are you talking about! How can you just let anyone have him as your son? And we look so much alike, people will think you're my illegitimate child!"
Oh shit! This old man is so shameless!
Although he thought so in his heart, Merlin still hugged Waver's thigh and shouted, "Father, please accept me. It seems that you don't have many years left, and you don't have any children to accompany you. Let this adopted son take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. When the time comes, give me more of the family property!"
