New Teacher
"So you opened a pharmacy with Leonard," Ansiel suddenly realized, and then cast an admiring gaze on Elena. "But even with his help, your talent for making medicine is outstanding. The quality of each potion is perfect. Even I, when I was a low-level mage, couldn't guarantee such perfect quality for every potion."
Elena lowered her head in embarrassment after being praised.
"Now that Leonard has ascended to demigod status, your potion business will surely improve. With the demigod's backing, Wind Lily Pharmacy can spread across the entire continent," Ansiel said, then turned to urging Elena, "You too should hurry up and ascend quickly. Don't fall behind, or else your partnership will become Leonard's business alone."
Being urged to be promoted out of the blue, Elena felt a little, how to say it, a little surprised and a little happy. Ansel really had confidence in her, and he was on her side and caring about her.
Upon hearing this, the dean nodded and even opened his spiritual sense to look at Elena: "Your core is running very smoothly and it fits well with your soul. You can try to advance."
???
!!!
real? !
"Can I try to get promoted?" Elena asked in surprise, but she still felt a little uneasy.
Didn't Leonard say it was best to stabilize your realm and not rush into promotion? Why did the dean say it was possible to be promoted again?
"But I was just promoted to a low-level mage a few months ago." Although she felt it was not good to question the dean, Elena still asked, "Is it okay to be promoted now?"
"You were promoted to a low-level mage a few months ago?" Ansiel was surprised.
The dean smiled but said nothing.
Elena nodded honestly. There was nothing to hide. It could be found out with a simple check. The records of the Mage Association were all there, and the dean could not be concealed at all.
"After I was promoted, I went to the Mage Association to register and received a badge. The records can be checked." Elena said.
Ansiel looked at Elena deeply for a long moment before he exclaimed, "This is the perfect talent for all magic systems. This is the darling of magic."
At this time, the dean spoke: "Elena, I will prepare the magic ritual for you. You have a good talent for making medicine, so you can make the promotion potion yourself. In a few days, when I have everything ready, you can come and be promoted to an intermediate magician."
Elena was even more surprised. The teacher prepared a magic ritual for her, which saved her so much time and gold coins.
"Thank you, teacher. You are so nice. You are really the best teacher in the world." Elena blinked her starry eyes and praised sincerely.
The dean just smiled and said nothing.
The three of them talked as they walked and soon returned to the Viscount's Mansion.
In the restaurant, the lights, flowers, and tableware have all been arranged, and the kitchen has also prepared dinner, just waiting for the guests to take their seats.
The three of them acted as host and guest and took their seats respectively.
The servant brought three basins of clean water for washing hands before the meal.
Elena washed her hands and took the cloth to wipe the water droplets on her hands. She suddenly remembered something: "Brother, is Professor Leopold still in the laboratory? I want to prepare dinner for him, is that okay?"
Ansiel was also wiping his hands. He said, "No, eating is not allowed in the lab. When everyone is busy, they just feed the nutrient solution directly. You can eat after he finishes his work and comes out."
"Oh." Elena nodded and said no more.
After the clean water and towels were brought down, servants from the kitchen quickly filed in and served dinner to the table.
Pan-fried veal steak, black pepper fish, sesame paste noodles, crispy fried dumplings, borscht.
One portion per person, the beautiful dishes are paired with exquisite bowls and plates, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at them.
"Except for the veal steak, the others are new dishes I developed. I hope you like them." Elena said with anticipation.
The dean and Ansiel started using their knives and forks.
One bite, two bites, the two of them quietly and attentively immersed themselves in the world of food.
The grilled veal chop was made with excellent beef. When you cut it with a knife, you can tell that the meat is of excellent quality. The accompanying black pepper sauce was also very good, with rich layers of flavor. It must have contained other spices.
The fish slices are fresh and tender. The unique cooking method brings a unique taste. It has the tenderness of steamed fish and the chewiness of grilled fish. The sauce poured on the fish slices is also very delicious, complementing the fish slices and making people immersed in this unique taste.
The noodles mixed with sesame paste are delicious, with a wheat aroma and a springy texture when you bite them. The sesame paste is even more fragrant, and you can’t put it down or stop eating it once you put it in your mouth.
Crispy fried dumplings, take a bite, the skin is crispy and the meat is abundant, the juice is full of the aroma of oil and the wonderful salty taste. It turns out that wrapping the meat in the dough can be so delicious, the flavor is completely wrapped, and there is no dissipation or waste at all.
Borscht, ah, this is the most delicious soup they have ever eaten. The soup tastes salty and sweet with a hint of spiciness. It is a bit stimulating, but it makes people reluctant to give it up. There is beef at the bottom of the soup. The beef is stewed soft and absorbs the freshness of the soup. One bite, ah, the taste is wonderful.
The Dean and Ansel moved gracefully, but not slowly at all.
The corners of Elena's mouth rose higher and higher, and finally a big smile appeared on her face.
The dishes she improved upon are indeed very suitable for the tastes of this world.
In the end, the dean and Ansel both used double portions, expressing their appreciation with practical actions.
"It's really good." Ansiel leaned back in his chair, letting his stomach relax a little. "Thinking about it, Leopold gets to enjoy these delicious meals every day. I'm a little jealous of him."
As he spoke, Ansel pointed his fingers, as if calculating something. Then he turned to the dean and asked, "Teacher, I've almost finished teaching all the courses this semester, and I've completed the lab projects I'm responsible for. Leopold, on the other hand, hasn't even written a few reports on his lab projects. Why don't we switch roles? I'll teach Elena."
Huh? Do we have to change teachers just for one meal?
Elena also looked at the dean.
The dean thought for a moment and asked Elena, "What do you think of Leopold's teaching?"
Elena answered cautiously, "I think Mr. Leopold teaches very attentively. He teaches 10 hours a day for 7 consecutive days, with an exam on the 8th day and a day off on the 9th. A 9-day cycle completes. My learning progress is much faster than when I was in elementary school."
The dean hummed and said to Asel, "It's not a good idea to change teachers rashly, and it's not appropriate to make the decision without Leopold present. You want to be Elena's teacher, it's nothing more than you like to eat at her place, so why don't you come over when you're free? I don't think Elena would mind."
The dean said the last sentence while looking at Elena.
Elena nodded quickly. "Of course I don't mind. I welcome Senior Brother Ansel to come over. I'm the only owner of this Viscount's mansion, so it's usually deserted. I welcome someone to come and dine and talk with me."
Ansel was a little unhappy when he heard the dean's rejection, but he was immediately happy when he heard Elena's welcome.
"Okay, then I'll come without hesitation." Ansiel laughed as he spoke. "My coming here won't be in vain. From now on, when Leopold doesn't have time to teach you, I'll take over. This way, we won't waste a whole day like today."
Elena smiled and lowered her head silently.
No, it’s not a waste at all. She doesn’t want to go to class at all.
At noon the next day, when Leopold finally finished the report and returned to the Viscount's Mansion in Fussen, he was shocked to find that Ansel had taken his previous seat, standing in the classroom teaching Elena.
Why is this guy here?
How could this guy teach Elena?
Wouldn't this guy take his place?
Leopold was anxious inside, but he remained calm as he stood beside Elena, staring at Ansiel: "Ansiel, why are you here?"
Ansel looked at him coldly and indifferently: "Have you finally finished your lab report?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be here." Leopold felt at ease and open-minded after completing a mission.
"Okay, now that you've finished your report, I have something to tell you," Ansel said coldly. "From now on, I'll be Elena's teacher, too. When you need to finish your lab project, I'll be teaching her."
Leopold's eyes widened, and he was about to open his mouth to refute.
"This is what the dean agreed to." Ansiel shut Leopold's mouth with just one sentence.
Leopold: ...Shit.
Sea of fog.
Within the final time of divination, all exploration teams withdrew from the Sea of Fog in time.
Although each team had its own gains, the leaders of the three teams were depressed.
The most important target of this operation, the sensitive object, was actually nowhere to be found.
I tried several divination methods but none of them worked. Even a thorough search of everyone still couldn't find it. It's really @#￥%* (foul talk).
The expeditionary fleets returned one after another, and Leonard also followed the fleet of the Church of the Lord of Light back to the Caropetto Empire.
After returning, Leonard first went to see Archbishop Colin.
"I didn't find the target, but I found this." Leonard pushed an inconspicuous fist-sized stone towards Archbishop Colin.
Archbishop Colin took up the stone and examined it carefully.
Leonard said, "As usual, I won't refund the deposit. Consider this as compensation to you, Archbishop."
"Is this the brain of the Mera giant lizard?" asked Archbishop Colin.
Leonard nodded. "Yes, it's quite old. It must have been a tribute to the evil god's temple at that time."
"Such a large piece of brain is rare these days," Archbishop Colin said with some emotion. "There are only a few Mela giant lizards left. The value of this piece of brain exceeds the deposit I gave you. Leonard, you are truly a trustworthy partner."
Leonard smiled: "Of course, my name is a famous brand."
Archbishop Colin also smiled: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to demigod. From now on, you are a demigod, one of the top eight strongest people in the entire continent."
As he spoke, Archbishop Colin stood up and wanted to salute Leonard.
"Hey, Uncle Colin, please don't do this..." Leonard quickly stopped him. "How can I face you in the future if you do this?"
Archbishop Colin looked at him with a smile: "This is proper etiquette, and you should stop calling me uncle. I haven't done anything for you, and you call me uncle. How can I face you with such humility?"
"Ah, you're my father's friend. You taught me when I was little, and you've also provided me with a lot of conveniences since I grew up. It's only natural for me to call you uncle." Leonard scratched his head uncomfortably. "Even though we haven't seen each other much in recent years, I still remember you as my uncle."
Leonard's words were actually a bit insincere and contained a bit of social politeness.
Because Archbishop Colin said that he was a friend of his adoptive father, but he and his adoptive father gradually drifted apart, especially in his adoptive father's later years, the two had almost no contact. Leonard didn't know what conflict had occurred between his adoptive father and Archbishop Colin, but as a son, he would definitely side with his adoptive father, and he also believed that with his adoptive father's upright and just character, if there really was any irreconcilable contradiction, then the problem should be bigger on Archbishop Colin's side.
So after his adoptive father passed away, although Leonard had a lot of pressure on his shoulders and was busy running around taking orders and making money, he never thought of asking Archbishop Colin for help. Until Archbishop Colin found him and introduced business to him, he only regarded Archbishop Colin as a big customer rather than an elder he could rely on.
When it comes to business, Leonard feels more comfortable approaching the Archbishop with a business attitude.
"You're a good boy." Archbishop Colin raised his hand and patted Leonard on the shoulder. "Your father would be very happy if he knew you were promoted to demigod."
Leonard smiled.
The two chatted about the past for a while and reminisced about the past. Leonard felt that the time was almost up and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
But Archbishop Colin spoke before he could say anything: "By the way, do you remember Bella?"
