Chapter 102 050: Everything will be fine
A week later, the castle's Potions Department announced that it would select a group of apprentices from the inner castle, and there were several vacancies for Luo Xi and his classmates.
The good news came so suddenly! After Luo Xi's recent intensive training, Nicole's potion learning had already made great progress and ranked high among her peers. Luo Xi had also spent money to help her publish relevant papers in several third-rate magic journals, and she secured a place with almost no effort.
Of course, in addition to her own strength, Nicole's ability to stand out so easily in the fiercely competitive potion department is also related to Luo Xi's previous donation to the castle.
When Luo Xi took Nicole to fill out the employment form, Moshi, the wizard in charge of the Potions Department, told him bluntly: "Apprentice Luo Xi, if it weren't for you submitting the application form, it would not be easy for Miss Nicole to come to us."
He then half-jokingly said, "But we actually hope you will come more than Miss Nicole."
What else could Luo Xi say? He smiled awkwardly, turned back to the Fairy Street and spent a huge amount of money to buy gifts worth nearly 10,000 magic stones, and asked Nicole to take them with her when she reported to the Potions Department.
Half a month later, the first snow of winter came quietly, sweeping across the entire castle with a biting cold wind.
Elemental Castle, corridor.
".Haha, I heard that there was an unlucky guy who drank that bottle of expired frog water and ended up having to report to the department with a frog head for a whole week."
".Love potion, sleeping potion, transfiguration potion are all in the laboratory. I have only seen them in books before."
Nicole skipped in front, waving her short-handled wand to summon balls of fire elements to dispel the cold in the air, while telling Luo Xi about all the strange and new things she encountered in the Potions Department.
The Potions Department is undoubtedly the most popular department in the castle, with an additional subsidy of 600 magic stones per month. In addition, apprentices who are good at preparing potions have always been trusted by major wizarding families.
For an apprentice like Nicole with mediocre grades, being able to join the Potions Department was something she had never dared to think of before. Now that she has the honor of becoming a member, she has been so happy these days that she has lost herself in joy.
"Wow, who is that apprentice? He's really trying too hard!"
"Judging from your age, you seem to be new here, right?"
"It's so cold, and even the black-robed idiot wasn't so mean as to give us a day off. This kid must be crazy, still training there."
At this moment, several apprentices in the corridor gathered in front of the stone window and talked in one direction.
Luo Xi subconsciously looked over there. That direction was the magic training ground of the castle. In the huge training ground, one could see an apprentice of about 13 or 14 years old waving his magic wand and training the magic puppet standing in the field to attack over and over again.
Due to heavy snow, all magic training courses were suspended today. This apprentice who was training alone was therefore particularly eye-catching and immediately attracted the attention of the apprentices around him.
"Hey, this apprentice is not..." Nicole came to the window and quickly recognized the identity of the apprentice. He was a member of their previous wizard ship. His name seemed to be... Jon, a sunny and cheerful big boy.
Nicole sighed, "Is he training for his sister?"
She remembered that Jones had a younger sister, but unfortunately she was captured by the dark wizards during their attack. Since then, Jones has become taciturn.
Luo Xi stood in front of the window, frowning slightly.
The little girl who was kidnapped was called Nicole. Luo Xi still remembers her name. In fact, he was also responsible for her being kidnapped, but under the circumstances at that time, he could only protect Nicole and Joshua to his limit. There was really no other way.
After thinking for a while, Luo Xi took out a few spirit recovery potions from the space ring, and then snapped his fingers in the air.
“Hoohoo~”
A gust of wind swept the sky full of snowflakes and blew to Luo Xi's side. The snowflakes carried by the wind quickly condensed into a crystal clear ice crow in the air. Luo Xi handed the potion forward, and the ice crow grabbed the potion and flew towards the training ground.
In the training ground, Jon was still waving his wand over and over again.
"flame!"
As the spell was chanted, a fireball quickly formed in front of him and whistled into the magic puppet in front of him. The puppet shook violently, its torso crackling with burns, and it opened its mouth to give its evaluation:
“12 degrees!”
As an apprentice who had just entered the wizarding world for a few months, it was already very good to achieve such results, but Jon knew that this was far from enough.
He gripped the staff tightly and was about to chant the spell to cast the next one, but at this moment he felt a sharp pain and dizziness in his head, and his body shook uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees involuntarily.
My mental strength is exhausted.
Jon cried unwillingly and pounded the ground, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
He hated his own weakness and hated his own incompetence even more. It was because of this that his sister was captured by the dark wizard. Being a loser like him, even if he wanted to make himself stronger and rescue his sister one day, it would be out of his reach.
"ah!!!!"
In the snow and wind, Jon opened his mouth and cried loudly, but the only response he got was the cold snowflakes. Even his shouts to vent his anger were drowned out by the sound of the wind and snow.
The world seems so hopeless.
“Snap, snap!”
At this moment, the sound of flapping wings was heard, and an ice crow flew over in the wind and snow.
The crow came straight to Jon and threw down a few potion bottles. Jon picked them up subconsciously but was stunned when he looked at them.
These turned out to be some precious spirit recovery potions! At the same time, the ice crow exploded with a "crack", and the broken ice pieces fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and soon a line of words was spelled out in the snow: Everything will be fine.
Jon was startled.
He turned around and tried to find the source of the ice crows. Through the wind and snow, he could only see a vague figure in the corridor of the castle in the distance.
Jon bowed his head heavily in that direction, then picked up the potion bottle and stood up again.
The previous discouragement and despair were no longer in his eyes, but were replaced by high morale and indelible determination.
"Nello, wait for me!"
He gritted his teeth and continued his endless training.
After lunch, Luo Xi took Nicole back to the dormitory. They didn't want to go anywhere in the snow.
Some fire spirit powder was sprinkled into the fireplace. This was the fire element's favorite snack. When the first spark was ignited, the fireplace immediately burned vigorously. The large number of fire elements that moved in quickly made the room warm.
After making a cup of cocoa and sitting at the table, Luo Xi looked at the snow scene outside the window and thought about what to do this afternoon.
"Meow~" At this moment, a cat's meow was heard in the room.
When Luo Xi turned around, he saw a little white cat in the house, but he didn't remember having a cat.
"Hehe, are you scared?"
Just as Luo Xi was curious, the little white cat made the sound of Nicole, then stood up and twisted its body. At the same time, its small body began to twist, deform, and swell, and soon it turned into Nicole.
However, Nicole was a little different from usual. This time, she had a pair of conspicuous cat ears on her head and a long cat tail on her butt.
She looked at Luo Xi with a smile: "How is my Transfiguration?"
She said playfully, "Don't you want to rub it?"
Okay,
There is something to do! (End of this chapter)
