Chapter 136: Verdantia University’s Mistakes

“I’m not good at developing spell models.”

Locke thought about it quickly, but human energy is limited.

I am thinking about the fourth magic plant, and my personal pharmacy is also speeding up the results. At this juncture, I really don’t have the energy to care about anything else and develop a spell system for the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.

Compared to developing new varieties of magical plants and potions, this kind of thing is not as profitable.

As long as I develop new magical plants and potions, I can sell them however I want.

The development of a magic model takes a long time and is very difficult. It is basically only used by the combat department of the academy, and the number of people using and learning it is limited. Although it can be very profitable, compared with the two things he is doing now, the efficiency of making money is too slow.

If I had that much time, I might as well develop a few more powerful magical plants.

More importantly, the synthetic Rubik’s Cube is indeed not suitable for spell synthesis. I have tried it before, and the synthetic Rubik’s Cube cannot synthesize information-related things.

In other words, spell development can only rely on one’s own thinking. Although Locke is confident that with his current foundation, he may be able to develop some powerful supporting spells, but that would be too inefficient.

It doesn’t make sense.

According to Witch Sophia, there is no need to worry too much about how powerful your spell model is during the apprenticeship stage.

As long as you can advance quickly, that’s fine.

When Zack heard Locke’s refusal, he didn’t show any surprise. After all, in his opinion, everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at.

Therefore, in the wizarding society, there is a meaning of division of labor.

Zach nodded and said, “Okay, I’m just asking for your opinion.”

“Come to think of it, you were recently mentioned prominently at a potion exchange meeting.”

Locke looked strange.

I have never had any contact with the Potions Exchange Meeting, so how could that exchange meeting be related to me?

Zach explained, “Have you forgotten? You were originally a wizarding prodigy trained by Verdantia University. You were supposed to go to Verdantia University.”

“But later, you came to our Lilith Cottage, and that Luckin went to Verdantia University.”

Locke quickly guessed something. “Everyone knows this?”

Zach said, “Not really. Only those who paid attention to the exchange meeting held by Professor Harlan Vera knew about it. At this potion exchange meeting, the potion master from Verdantia University openly mocked our academy’s potion science development, saying that it had fallen into decline. Recently, Verdantia University’s potion science has indeed gradually begun to fall behind our academy.”

“Teacher Harlan Vera retaliated by mocking them, saying they were blind and mistook fish eyes for pearls. He exchanged you for Luckin, but now you are a first-class wizard apprentice and a potion master’s assistant, while Luckin is only a second-class wizard apprentice.”

“Besides, it was your plan that cured her at the treatment center.”

Zach laughed and said, “Those people from Verdantia University didn’t believe it at first, but after Teacher Harlan Vera gave them a piece of evidence, they were speechless.”

“The exchange meeting was supposed to be a heated exchange, but because of you, those potion masters from Verdantia University were forcibly detained for over ten minutes.”

“So, Mr. Harun’s students have all heard about you this time.”

Zach seemed to be enjoying the fun. “Locke, your own troubles were used by Mr. Harlan to control the three Verdantia University potion masters.”

“This record was so impressive that it spread widely.”

Locke held his forehead slightly. He had originally wanted to settle the score with them later.

Unexpectedly, because of this incident, Verdantia University was severely ridiculed by the wizards from Lilith’s Cottage at the Alchemy Exchange Conference.

Come to think of it, everyone knows about this kind of thing, especially when there is a heated debate, it is easiest to be pointed out in public.

I just don’t know whether this is good or bad for me.

Forget it, this kind of thing is just an interesting story, and no one will care about it soon.

The first-class wizard apprentices in Lilith’s Hut are all very busy. They are either busy at work, busy with research and development, or busy paying back their debts. The little bit of gossip that is left in everyone’s mind will soon be attracted by other things.

Zach comforted Locke and said, “At least after this incident, you have a good impression in the eyes of Teacher Harun Vera. You know my mentor is Harun Vera. Teacher Harun liked to talk about you in front of his students in the next few days.”

“So he has a very good impression of you now.”

He changed the subject. “By the way, remember to pay attention to your junior students recently.”

Locke looked at him puzzledly. “What do you mean?”

Zach cut the steak with a knife and fork and said, “Recently, many second-class wizard apprentices and third-class wizard apprentices in Lilith’s Hut have been attacked when they went out.”

“It must have been done by the Blood Curse Court.”

“Teacher Harlan Vera asked us to pay special attention to our junior students in the lab a few days ago and warned them not to go out recently.”

“I remember that you also have several junior students, Locke.”

Zach stood up. “We still need to warn them. Especially those who are involved in the work. If some of the students are killed or injured, we will have to find replacements in a short time, which is quite troublesome.”

“People who were attacked all had one characteristic: they all had some special skills.”

“The academy’s leadership is rapidly investigating this undercover line hidden within the academy’s port city,” Zach said. “Additionally, many undead creatures have recently arrived outside the academy.”

“The academy has issued many missions to exterminate undead creatures to those second- and third-class wizard apprentices, so many wizard apprentices will be out, giving those undercover agents an opportunity to concentrate their attacks on them.”

Locke nodded to Zack. “Thank you for the reminder.”

“I see. You’re well-informed.”

He thought of Pierre and Lauren, as well as the three young wizards that Witch Sophia asked him to lead. These five people are now third-class wizard apprentices.

“Next time you go to the pharmacy, be sure to warn them. Especially Pierre. In two months, the report on my memory ointment will be out of him. If he is attacked, it will be very troublesome.”

Zach said goodbye to Locke, “I have Mr. Harlan’s network of contacts. I know all kinds of news, so I’m sure I’ll be much faster than you.”

“But it’s okay, we’re friends. I’ll remind you.”
