After Sylvide nodded, the basement was quiet for a moment.
The old man put down his pipe, his gray eyes flashing with insight: "I see, little girl from the Albert family, I'm just asking you why you want to have a competition with Old Copper Nose for no reason. You deliberately exposed your identity, but in fact... Do you want those old guys to pay attention to the next game?"
Sylvide smiled and expressed her acquiescence.
Ender also laughed and shook his head: "We old guys have been fooled by you again, and except for me, the others probably haven't realized it yet. You have succeeded in leaving a deep impression on them." impression--"
He glanced at the crystal at hand and said with emotion: "Old Copper Nose must be cursing at this moment. No one who watched that scene would be curious about this little guy. But what's more interesting is that they must think This little guy is a 'student' I picked up from somewhere."
He laughed and said: "Ha, okay, let them guess. It will save those guys from nagging me behind my back all day and let them say that I have no successor."
As Ander said this, he looked at Fang Plover with his silver-grey eyes.
The latter was confused, but he also understood that his ship officer lady had secretly set a trap for him again - Fang Plover turned around and looked at Sylvester on the side with some annoyance, but all he saw was the daughter of a nobleman. There seemed to be a bunch of fox ears growing on the top of his head.
It was pointed and slightly swaying.
Ender changed the subject: "But my opinion alone is insignificant. It can only influence those old guys. And if you want to take away the Fairy Heart, after all, it is the brainchild of your grandfather for generations, and the opinion of the Presbyterian Council is just an opinion." In terms of this, we still need to get Veravito’s approval.”
Villarvito Silin Spica - the current Earl of Rose, Delise's father. Sylvide had mentioned it to others before coming, so Fang Plover was not surprised. If they wanted to do this, they would naturally need the consent of the current 'owner' of the Rose Workshop.
"We have our own arrangements, Mr. Ender," Sylvide replied.
"I believe that," Ender smiled slightly: "If the little girl from the Albert family plans to do something, how can she not think carefully about it?"
"All right."
The old man nodded.
However, he said yes, but he did not comment on the answer to this question.
Sylvide and Fang Plover looked at each other, and both understood that the other party wanted to observe for a while. This is not surprising. After all, the old man was his grandfather's assistant. He has a unique feeling for Rose Workshop and will not make decisions easily.
In fact, Ender also recognized that Fang Plover had outstanding talent in alchemy, but sometimes, talent didn't mean much. It can even lead to bad things. When talent is used in the wrong direction, it will only make people farther and farther away from the goal.
And being too superstitious about talent will only make people lazy. There are many such examples, and the elderly will not speak out to avoid hurting the confidence of young people.
However, he believed that with the intelligence of the little girl from the Albert family, she should also be able to see this clearly.
After that, everyone's efforts to stay in Dulon were postponed for a few days as expected.
At the request of the old man, Fang Plover visited Sylvide almost every day in the next few days. Occasionally Fang Plover was alone, mainly to supplement some of the alchemist's strength with the help of the legendary alchemist. Basic common sense.
To prevent him from making another mistake like this one at the Rose Workshop, he didn't know something as funny as 'Leoux's Beast Chess'. If he had to do it again at the Elders' Meeting, it wouldn't be that funny.
Both of them were born in the Kapka Artisans Association and were alchemists from the same school, so Ender showed great interest in Fang Plover's origins.
In the old man's long memory, the Kapka Artisan Association paid more attention to the basic education of alchemist apprentices. What puzzled him was how the Kapka School taught such an alchemist with such a lack of common sense. Coming?
Or is it that the Kapka School is no longer what it used to be?
When he was free, the old man asked Fang Plover this question. Fang Yu was a little embarrassed, and replied with a blush: "I am a selector. The training period for a selector is only six months, Mr. Ander."
Well, compared to the apprentices of aboriginal alchemists who often take more than ten years, the Chosen Ones can indeed be regarded as quick-starters, and it is not surprising that they lack some common sense. But Ender nodded and changed the subject: "But other Chosen Ones are not like you, right?"
This is heartbreaking.
Fang Piao was about to cry but had no tears, because a normal selector still has three years of training as a trainee, and one year of trainee assessment, followed by a two-year transition period for newcomers. Calculating this, it would take five or six years to officially become a selector. Long.
In fact, many trainees have entered specialized trainee training camps since they were seven or eight years old. While learning the knowledge of the earth, they also learned the common sense of Aitaria. When they became real trainees, they had no idea about Aitaria. Have considerable common sense.
Ji Ta, Luo Yu, and Tian Lan were all trainees with professional backgrounds.
And he is just a wild kid. Everything he knows about Aitaria comes from his learning from the community. There are many advanced things in the community, but there is a lot less when it comes to common sense.
If he hadn't met 'R' in the end, he would probably be even more black-eyed than he is now.
What he learned in Kapka was just some basics of alchemists. Six months was not enough for him to fully and systematically understand everything about alchemists in the world.
However, the apprenticeship period of the Chosen is only six months, and he cannot stay in Kapka for too long. Besides, he has no money. If Miss Scarpe hadn't taken him in, he would have starved to death before winter came. On the streets.
Fortunately, Ender didn't look into it in detail. He roughly guessed that Fang Plover didn't really learn much in Kapka. However, this made the old man a little curious - where did the other party learn the 'margin technique'? ?
After all, in any school of thought, this is considered professional knowledge. Without a dedicated mentor, it is basically impossible for newcomers to learn similar skills.
In response to this question, Fang Plover told his own experience in an honest and smooth manner. After all, the other party even knew about Miss Tata, so this secret was not worth mentioning. Besides, Shana also said that he could share this training software with others, which meant that this thing did not seem to need to be kept secret.
To be honest, he himself was a little curious about Shana's training method. He originally thought it was the basic training method of 'surplus skills', but now it seems that it is not. So the question is, where did this training technique come from?
In Fang Yu's view, only the legendary alchemist in front of him could answer this question.
But after Ender looked at the training method, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is this what those people gave you?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"This is strange. I really don't know the origin of this training method." The old man's silver-grey eyebrows wrinkled slightly and seemed to think for a moment, "But your training method is very clever. The only thing that is certain is that It is indeed a training method for 'margin skills', but it is much more difficult than usual..."
"There won't be any hidden dangers, right, Mr. Ande?" Fang Yu always felt that he had been deceived recently, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
"Hidden dangers?" Ander shook his head: "What hidden dangers does this have? It's nothing more than a training method. The only problem is that it's too unfriendly to beginners." He glared at Fang Yu: "But you Are freaks different too or have they passed this stage?”
"I really don't know how you got such a brain. Sometimes you look like a real idiot——"
He shook his head a little hopelessly.
It had to be said that this young man's learning ability in alchemy made him somewhat impressed. In his opinion, the other party was like a sponge that had just been soaked in water, capable of endlessly absorbing all knowledge related to alchemy.
In the past few days of study, he intentionally or unintentionally guided the other party to learn some knowledge about shipwrights and goblins, but he did not stump the other party at all. Ender himself was also a standard academic leader in the Kapka Society when he was young, but when he looked back on his learning experience, he felt that he was not as good as him.
But sometimes, this boy is so stubborn that his head is filled with stones. For example, in terms of alchemist etiquette, cognition, and common sense about how to deal with other alchemists, he finds that he cannot teach him anything. Know this idiot.
"You know, in most places, each country has its own alchemist association, which controls the flow of resources among alchemists. It is through this method that countries can achieve basic management and control of alchemists."
"For example, the Southern Alchemist Alliance?"
"Yes, but don't interrupt," Ender knocked on his pipe: "That's not the point I want to say."
Fang Yu sat upright and behaved like a real student. After all, he also knew that it was rare for a legendary alchemist to be willing to teach him these things. This was a rare experience.
Moreover, when the other party was teaching him, he only saw the cognitive experience in the system skyrocketing, which did not gradually slow down until the third day, but basically he was receiving thousands of experience points every hour.
After more than ten hours a day, that’s tens of thousands of experiences.
In just a few days, his level has steadily passed level 15, and he has begun to move towards the mark of level 16. What’s even more surprising is that even Luo Yu, Xiang Xiang and Parker, who had been listening in the previous two days, actually improved their levels.
Among them, Luo Yu, who was at the lowest level, was promoted to level seven on the first day, and was almost halfway to level seven on the second day.
It was a pity that on the third day, the old man drove everyone else away, saying that he was teaching alchemists and was not here to be a nanny for these little guys. And this also shows that it is rare to have a legendary alchemist as a mentor.
Although Luo Yuming also has a legendary elementalist as a mentor, the kind of mentor who writes a letter of introduction is just a name. It is basically unthinkable to impart experience like this in person.
Does it really cost money to be a legend?
Of course, Fang Yu knew that the reason why the other party was willing to supplement him with this knowledge was entirely for Sylvide's sake.
Therefore, at first, although he was very dissatisfied with the aristocratic daughter's behavior of setting a trap on him after a disagreement, but after a few days, he saw that the person in question was a lovely fox lady with a smile.
All I can say is, it smells really good.
"What I want to tell you here is the alchemist black market," the old man didn't know that Fang Plover was deserting, and continued: "Where there is light, there is shadow. If you are an alchemist, you will be useful. When you use the alchemist black market, you can only use it in the black market. , you can buy some materials and drawings that are apparently controlled by the Alchemist Association."
"But those places are not the paradise of alchemists," Ender took out a book from the drawer and handed it to Fang Plover: "There are also some reliable businessmen there, but most of them are liars and other lawless people. , rather than how to sell you better things, they are more concerned about how to take money out of your pocket with nothing."
He patted the cover of the book: "So you have to be careful when dealing with these people. This book was written by a famous alchemist. It mainly writes about how to deal with black market merchants and some famous deceptions."
The afternoon sun was slowly passing through the window, spreading the last bit of winter warmth into the living room. The legendary alchemist warned the relevant precautions one by one, and finally asked: "Do you understand?"
Fang Yu thought for a moment: "I don't quite understand, but I can ask Miss Tianlan and Attila to help negotiate the price."
Ender gasped after hearing this, but luckily he didn't throw the book directly at his face: "...I said that only alchemists can enter the alchemist black market, and your Miss Attila and Tianlan cannot enter."
"Then it's okay if I don't go to the Alchemist Black Market, ouch——"
Before he could finish speaking, a thick book hit his eyes. Veins popped out on Ander's head, like a giant dragon roaring: "Get away from me, you hopeless idiot! Memorize this book ten times. If you can't remember any of it, don't do it." Come see me!”
Fang Plover held the book and ran away innocently, holding his head.
But in the end, he memorized the entire book with his amazing memory - roughly.
But as for how to apply the above content, only the saints above know. Anyway, Fang Yu had already made up his mind to convince Tianlan and Miss Attila to switch careers as alchemists, just like this.
Wouldn’t that be a wonderful way to solve the problem?
However, after that, Ender stopped talking to him about the 'common sense' related to this aspect, probably because he saw that rotten wood cannot be carved, and only simply discussed with him the knowledge related to alchemy.
In this way, the communication between the two became much more peaceful, and nothing like this happened again.
And as the teaching deepened, Ander found that he became more and more appreciative of this young man who had shown amazing talent in alchemy. Although he might have had some thoughts of investigation at the beginning, in the end, he actually had He regarded Fang Yu as his direct student.
He didn't expect that his previous joke with Old Copper Nose would turn out to be a prophecy, but he felt in his heart that he might have fallen into the scheme of the little girl from the Albert family.
But this is a conspiracy.
For a legendary alchemist like him, at this age, the only thing he wants is of course a qualified student. The reason why he had no successor before was simply because his vision was too high.
And Fang Plover's arrival was like an unexpected surprise arranged by fate. Because of this, later on, the old man unintentionally taught him more and more carefully.
Naturally, the 'common sense' that Fang Plover mastered also improved by leaps and bounds.
In the last few days, the experience he gained actually showed an upward trend——
The blizzard arrived as scheduled a few days ago. After that, Fang Plover stopped returning to Dullon and only stayed overnight in the manor. Coincidentally, there was actually another guest in the manor at this time - the president of the Grand Craftsmen Association. However, probably because his study time was staggered with the other party's activity time, he was only in the yard. Met each other from a distance.
Neither party left any impression on the other.
Of course, Falais-Copper Bay would not have thought that the ordinary young man he saw that day would be the alchemist boy from Fenris Island that he had been looking for.
Sometimes, Sylvide would also come and stay overnight in the manor - but this would inevitably be a bit embarrassing, because Ander considered themselves a young couple, and the room arranged for them was the same. one.
There is only one double bed inside.
Of course, it was impossible for Fang Plover to sleep on the cold floor in the middle of winter, so the two had to sleep back to back. And Fang Yu repeatedly promised that he would never turn around - but in response, the noble daughter just smiled slightly.
A pair of shallow sea-like eyes looked at him as if they could speak.
Outside the house is the severe cold of a snowstorm, and the howling wind even covers the sound of the forest roaring far and near. Only the branches occasionally hitting the windows will make a rustling sound.
But the room was unexpectedly quiet, with only the ticking sound of the clock. Fang Plover stared into the darkness, and could only feel the girl's warm back pressing against him, as if the two of them were guarding the only warmth in this severe cold.
He couldn't sleep at all and his mind was filled with random thoughts.
In fact, neither of them fell asleep, but they could still maintain a tacit understanding in the darkness. No one would expose this, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
But what Fang Yu didn't expect was that after a while, probably under his influence, Miss Tata also got out from under the quilt. In the darkness, Miss Goblin was sitting on her pillow, looking at him curiously:
"Mr. Knight, you are very emotionally unstable. Is it Miss Sylvide who has influenced you?"
Tata asked very calmly.
After hearing this, Fang Yu almost hit his head on the bed and died.
"Miss Tata, don't say it!" he shouted in his heart.
But Fang Yu obviously forgot that the two of them share the same spiritual heart. After hearing this, Tata asked strangely: "Why can't you tell me?"
Puff.
Sylvide's snickering came from the other side of the quilt, but the noble daughter obviously held back her laughter, but her shoulders shook violently.
At that moment, Fang Yu felt that he had died socially.
…
