Leopold's "help" was very useful and heavy!
He threw a thick "Plant Encyclopedia" directly in front of Elena.
"This is our first lesson," Leopold said with a cruel smile. "If you can memorize all these plants, I think you will be able to find the one you are looking for."
Elena: ...No, that's not what I want!
In reality, the student just wanted a copy of the answers to the real test questions, but the teacher marked "This is the key point", "This is the most important thing", and "This is a required question" in the book.
Looking at the thick "Plant Encyclopedia" in front of her, which is 70 centimeters long and wide and as thick as two bricks, and can be used as a shield, Elena only wanted to say one word: damn.
If she had to say it in a complete sentence, she would say, "Burn, little universe."
Isn’t it just memorizing it, isn’t it just scanning and copying it? Okay, she has a plug-in, she can do it!
Elena buried her head in the book, turning pages one by one very quickly. Even those who could read ten lines at a glance could not match her speed. Her speed was almost as fast as that of quantum wave reading.
Leopold looked at him coldly and sneered in his heart. It seemed that this student had to be beaten.
Ten minutes passed, and Leopold knocked on the table: "Stop."
Elena obediently closed the book, put it down, and looked up at the teacher.
Leopold stood before Elena, looking down at her. "What are the appearance and properties of Bonimeni grass?"
Elena opened her mouth and said, "Ponimeni grass is an annual herb with an upright stem, 10-50 cm tall, 5-7 mm in diameter at the base, and loose leaf sheaths that are glabrous, sparsely hairy, or warty, with dense, woolly cilia on the edges. The flowers are small, star-shaped, white or yellow, and the fruit has hemostatic properties."
"Draw the Bonnemeine," said Leopold.
Elena picked up the pen and paper, and the tip of the quill pen danced nimbly on the paper.
Bonimeni grass soon appeared on the paper, exactly the same as in the plant encyclopedia.
Leopold was slightly surprised. It was such a good painting! Even the details were perfect!
Leopold remained impassive and continued to ask, "What are Tafashishi's appearance and characteristics?"
Elena replied, "Tafasihi, the petals are egg-shaped, with 5 to 13 petals, and the disc is shallowly cup-shaped. The flowers are mostly red, pink, and purple. The flowers have the effect of reducing swelling, but the fruit is poisonous. If the juice comes into contact with the skin, it will form blisters like burns."
"Draw Tafahihi."
Elena once again demonstrated her painting skills.
Leopold mentioned more than ten plants from different families and genera, and Elena not only answered every one of them correctly, but also drew their appearance perfectly, exactly the same as in the book, even the details were perfectly copied.
Leopold was shocked by Elena's strong memory.
She is just a low-level mage, yet she has such a fast and accurate memory?
After being shocked, in order to maintain his dignity as a teacher, Leopold could only nitpick and ask, "How come your drawing is exactly the same as the one in the botanical encyclopedia?"
Elena blinked her beautiful big eyes, her emerald pupils like two sparkling emeralds: "Because I have never seen the real thing, I can only draw according to the pictures in the book."
Leopold opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
Elena had a sweet smile on her face and asked, "Teacher, did I pass the test?"
Leopold straightened his face and hummed.
Elena snickered.
Leopold saw it.
Elena looked at him.
Leopold took back the "Illustrated Plant Encyclopedia" and began to flip through it, pretending not to see it.
Elena smiled even more proudly.
It’s great to have plug-ins.
Having once reached the maximum level achievement in all mage departments, Elena's game character's skill points have long been maxed out, especially intelligence points. As a mage, intelligence is the most important skill point, and each upgrade must increase intelligence. In addition to the intelligence points automatically increased by the system, Elena will also use gems to increase points. Once intelligence increases, memory, which is an intelligence factor, will naturally improve as well.
The key point is that memory is an intelligence factor! Intelligence factors refer to memory, observation, thinking ability, attention, imagination, etc.
Although Elena has been downgraded from the maximum level to a low-level mage, her game plug-in is still there, and her skill points are still there. Although the skill points will decrease as the level decreases, it is still much higher than that of low-level mages of the same level. It is difficult to memorize a book in ten minutes, but it can be achieved with hard work.
As for painting, hahaha, that's even simpler. She has learned painting before. Although she gave up halfway, she still has the basic skills. As long as she remembers the content and paints according to the book, there will be no problem at all.
Unable to bear seeing Elena so proud, Leopold took out another textbook from the space ring, knocked on the table, and said seriously.
"Elena, take out the Combination and Decomposition of Magical Symbols. Let's start the class."
Elena immediately put away her smile, took out her textbook, and listened attentively.
I don’t know if it was to intimidate this proud student, but Leopold spoke very fast, his mouth kept talking, and he could say three or four sentences in one breath.
However, Leopold is still a very good teacher. In addition to reading the contents of the textbook, he also interspersed many related knowledge points, which was full of practical information.
Elena listened and quickly took notes with a pen.
After finally waiting for Leopold to announce the end of get out of class, Elena collapsed on the table, and her pen rolled under the table.
Leopold bent down to pick up the pen and took a look at Elena's notes.
"What kind of horrible handwriting do you have?" Leopold fumed. "Can you even recognize what you're writing when you write like that?"
Elena tilted her head lazily and looked at him with an innocent expression: "Teacher, you speak too fast. If I don't write fast, I can't keep up at all."
Leopold was so angry.
"So it's my fault?" Leopold asked.
Elena nodded honestly: "Yeah."
Leopold was so angry that he wanted to teach this disobedient student a lesson, but the classroom door was knocked.
"Master Grand Master, Miss, it's snack time. Would you like some snacks?" The old butler's voice came in.
Elena's eyes were on the teacher, but her mouth was asking, "What's the snack today?"
"It's peanut candy, pine cone cookies and cream puffs, and the drink is sweet soy milk," said the old butler.
Hmm? Are there any drinks you haven't tried?
Leopold withdrew his hand.
Elena immediately straightened her back and tidied up the desk: “Send it in.”
The old butler pushed open the door, holding a tray in his hand, on which were three small white porcelain plates and two white porcelain cups.
Leopold's eyes fell on the white porcelain cup, which contained a milky white liquid. He picked up the cup and smelled it. It did not smell like milk, but a completely different smell, that of beans.
"This is soy milk. First, soak the soybeans in water, then grind them, filter them, and boil them. After they're cooked, add a little sugar." Elena explained at the right time, "Teacher, try it. It tastes pretty good."
Leopold took a small sip, and the smooth liquid flowed into his mouth. First, there was the sweetness of sugar, and then the fragrance of beans, with a unique taste.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Elena asked eagerly.
Leopold took another sip, and then another, savoring it carefully before saying, "It tastes a little weird at first, but after a few more sips it's pretty good."
Elena smiled happily: "This is just a preliminary attempt. I will work harder and make it taste better."
Leopold glanced at her and said, "You're really working hard on making food, with new products coming out one after another."
Elena chuckled.
Leopold changed the subject: "If you can put this same care and effort into studying, that's the right path."
Is this accusing her of not doing her job and indulging in fun?
Elena disagreed with Leopold's accusation: "Teacher, I am a lord first, and a student second. I have an unshirkable responsibility to my people. I must first make my territory prosperous and ensure that my people have enough food and clothing. My personal achievements can be put off for a while."
Leopold chuckled and said, "If you can become a great wizard, are you afraid that you can't make your territory prosperous?"
Elena raised her chin. Were her teacher's expectations of her so low? She was very powerful. She looked down upon the Archmage. She wanted to be a Legendary Mage. As for even more powerful ones, like Angels and True Gods, she would also like to try to advance if possible.
But she wouldn't say that now. It's not good to be too high-profile. She is just a low-level mage now and needs to be low-key.
Elena said, "Becoming a great wizard takes time and luck. I still want to be a good lord first."
Leopold snorted, "Whatever."
Fool, you don't know the priorities. The most important thing is to improve yourself. The people in the territory will not starve to death if you leave them alone for a few years.
To ordinary people, Leopold naturally has the arrogance that comes from the wizard class. Not only Leopold, in the eyes of most wizards, they are completely different from ordinary people. They are the lucky ones who have entered the field of magic, they are superior people who have mastered the rules of magic, and they are superior wizards.
Ordinary people are too insignificant.
Different positions and classes mean that they are destined not to care about the lives of ordinary people.
Elena didn't understand Leopold's underlying meaning, but she subconsciously disliked Leopold's current attitude. She couldn't explain why, maybe because she was too sensitive to other people's bad emotions, anyway, she didn't like it.
It was the old butler who spoke up to ease the atmosphere: "Master Archmage, Miss, the class has been going on for two hours. Why don't you go out for a walk and continue in the afternoon?"
Elena looked at Leopold, waiting for his opinion.
Leopold pinched a dessert he had never eaten before, a cream puff, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and found it tasted okay.
"Is this cream puff delicious?" Elena subconsciously asked the diner's opinion.
"It would be better if it were a little sweeter," said Leopold.
Elena nodded and took note of the suggestion: "Okay."
Leopold slowly finished the snacks on his plate and clapped his hands: "Let's go, let's go for a walk."
The first place Leopold and Elena went to was the Bellflower Potion Shop.
Before this, Leopold knew that Elena and Leonard had opened a magic potion shop together, and he knew that the magic potion shop was doing well. But, what should he say? After all, it was just "one" pharmacy, not a national chain. No matter how good the business was, it would only be a popular store in the capital.
However, when Leopold actually set foot in the Bellflower Potion Shop, he realized that he had taken it for granted. The business of the magic potion shop could be so booming!
People are crowded together, goods are crowded together, and voices with different accents can be heard from all directions. The quantity of goods mentioned starts from thousands, and those below thousands are all retail.
Leopold felt like he didn't understand the potion market anymore. Had the potions been priced down? Wouldn't it be a pain to buy in bulk?
In the office behind the pharmacy.
"Miss, these are the additional orders placed today. The caravans outside knew you were back, and they all came running here like crazy to place additional orders." Jerry, the manager of the Belle of the Valley Pharmacy, placed a large pile of orders in front of the Viscountess.
Elena flipped through it casually, and when she saw the number on it, her eyes widened suddenly: "Are they crazy? How can I possibly make so many potions in a hurry? Didn't you tell them that I needed Leonard's help, and Leonard was away for the past two months?"
Jerry smiled helplessly: "I did, but they said they could wait as long as you take the order."
Leopold leaned over to take a look at the order quantity, and his eyes widened. Did he misspell a zero?
Considering his image in front of the students, Leopold suppressed his shock with dignity and returned to a calm expression.
"It seems your potion is very popular." Leopold said lightly.
Elena is calculating the total amount. These are all sweet troubles. She really wants to make money, but the production capacity cannot keep up. What can she do?
Hearing Leopold say this, she nodded in confusion and helplessness: "Yes."
Leopold turned around and walked towards the shelf nearby, looking at the goods on it.
He wanted to see why the potions here were so popular.
Hmm? Huh? Huh?
This color, this clarity.
Leopold picked up a bottle of recovery agent and threw it over with a preliminary identification spell.
Low-grade recovery agent, 100% completion rate.
???
!!!
Leopold picked up another bottle of magic potion and threw it over with a preliminary identification spell.
Low-grade magic potion, 100% completion.
!!!
Leopold immediately grabbed two bottles of potion and pushed them in front of Elena: "Are you still clear-headed?"
Elena:???
"Teacher, what do you want to say?" Elena asked confusedly.
Leopold gnashed his teeth and said, "Your recovery potions and magic potions are only of low quality, but the completion rate has reached 100%. Are you sick?! You have the talent and Leonard's help, why don't you make high-quality recovery potions and magic potions? Ah? Why don't you make strength-building potions and soul-restoring potions? Ah? You are wasting your talent, do you know that? Do you know that?" The last sentence was a roar of anger at the other party for not fighting back.
Elena: "...Because I didn't have the money to buy the raw materials for high-quality recovery potions and magic potions."
Leopold glared at her.
Elena whispered again: "We really didn't have any money before. The Viscount's Mansion was very poor at that time and even owed foreign debts."
Leopold continued to glare at her, gnashing his teeth as he asked, "Won't Leonard lend you the money? He's such a stingy bastard, would he be willing to lose so much money?"
This time Elena was more confident: “He didn’t have any money at the time.”
Leopold: ...Shit!
So angry!
These two idiots are really sick!
If you have no money, won’t you come to him to borrow?
If he had known that Elena was so talented, he would have wanted to invest in her too!
