The apprentice sat down on the emptied bed, feeling a burst of despair.In fact, he has been following Master Mesot for ten years, and most of the chores in the study team are done by him alone.Because of his status, Master Mesott did not give him a letter of recommendation, nor did he even teach him seriously. Most of the alchemy knowledge was taught by himself.Even if he was treated unfairly like this, he was content with it.He knew very well that this was the only way for him to study.I have also been looking forward to the opportunity to become a formal apprentice in the future and pass the assessment to become a real alchemist.

However, this dream was shattered after all, Master Mesot rejected his request to follow, he has no chance.At his age, he couldn't be an apprentice to other alchemists either.Even after the master and everyone left, he was no longer qualified to live here.

After being silent for a long time, he gradually thought of death.The young apprentice saluted and was about to leave the room.

At this time, a servant came over: "Ah, great, you haven't left yet, come, come with me, the princess wants to see you."

The man followed the servants into the back garden of the palace, and saw a young girl with a female guard sitting at a table in the central pavilion.

"Your Royal Highness, people have been brought here." The servant bowed slightly to the girl and then withdrew.

"See, see Your Highness the Princess." The man hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Excuse me, get up, Naples Gallot." Kocia crossed her legs and responded with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, uh, does Your Highness the Princess know your name?" The young man was a little surprised.

"Hmm, I just asked someone to inquire about your affairs." Kexia's expression was a little unnatural. The information was learned from the mouth of the affairs officer Lyle, but it seemed that he was affected by the previous spiritual power, and he became extremely trusting of the princess. , knowing everything, as if he and her have been friends for many years.This made Kexia a little alert. The effect of psionic power is powerful, but the sequelae are not small, and she should use it as little as possible in the future.

"Napoli, um, let's call you Gelot... Pfft," Kocia glanced at the flushed Aipanlu, and continued to say to the man, "You are from Sisko Island, uh, at the age of 22, That is to say, ten years ago, you became an apprentice under Teacher Mesott for ten years?! Why haven’t you become a teacher yet? I remember that generally speaking, an apprentice will be recommended after four to six years. Go to Tanur College for the exam, you haven't passed yet?"

"Your Highness, in fact, because of my nationality, the teacher has been unable to submit a recommendation for me. This is the regulation of the college, and the teacher has no choice. I have been waiting for the reform of the college system. Once the status of Sisko Island is recognized, The teacher will give me a letter of recommendation." Gallot replied with his head bowed.

"Oh, is that so? So, is your knowledge okay? Are you confident that you can pass the exam?" The princess felt a little sympathetic to this poor bastard. The apprenticeship system of the Alchemy Academy itself is essentially to allow alchemists outside to get a low salary. He is an expensive handyman, and he has been an apprentice for ten years, but he has not been recommended, and was even ruthlessly abandoned in the end, only lamenting how bad fate has treated him.

"Your Highness, although I have not received any special training from my teacher, I have been attending classes with various apprentices for ten years. In my spare time, I have been studying the teacher's collection of books. I have already mastered the basic alchemy experiments, and I am [-]% sure that I can pass the assessment. "The man looked up confidently and answered.

"Hey? Well, let me test you..." The princess rolled her eyes and asked her a question.

As the man said, the basic alchemy knowledge is extremely solid, and Kexia is very satisfied, but after increasing the difficulty, he began to be unable to stand up.

Seeing the embarrassed and silent young apprentice, Kexia could only be speechless for a while.For ten years, that seemingly benevolent palace alchemist,
He actually only taught him basic knowledge, and most of the other advanced alchemy techniques were taught by himself.The princess regained her composure and continued to ask: "By the way, Gallot, did you learn from the teacher as soon as you arrived in the kingdom?"

"Your Highness, no, when I came down to the kingdom, I was only 16 years old. After wandering abroad for several years, it was only by chance that I joined Teacher Mesott."

"Oh? So, what were you doing during those years of wandering? Did you start learning alchemy then?"

"Your Highness, in fact, when I was on the island, I had already started to learn alchemy. However, I learned from the amateur alchemists on the island at that time, and I didn't get much knowledge. After arriving in the kingdom, I spent most of my time in alchemy. As a handyman, I can only learn alchemy in my spare time." Talking about that time, the man's eyes flickered.

Kexia looked at the character template in front of her, and kept complaining in her heart.

"Gallot, now that Teacher Mesot is gone, what are your plans next? Are you going to join other alchemists, or go back to Sisko Island?"

"Here," the man's face was bitter, "I'm too old, and it's hard to worship other alchemists. I plan to return to the island and spend my life like this."

Kexia slightly noticed that the man seemed to have the will to die, so she had to ask sternly: "So, Gelot, are you willing to give up everything, abandon your dreams, and let fate dictate?"

"Your Highness, I don't know what you mean... What are you planning to do?" Gelot heard something different.

"Hmph, you fool doesn't look too stupid~" Kexia stood up, and said to the man with her chest out: "Then, Napoli Gelot, there are two roads in front of you!"

"The first one is to suspend your studies here, go back to your hometown, return to your relatives and friends in disgrace, accept their pity and help, endure the ridicule and discrimination of others for the rest of your life, and finally end your life in peace!"

"The second article, entrust your life and loyalty to me, and perfectly complete the arrangement I gave you. And this princess will reward you with the status of a citizen of the kingdom and give you a letter of recommendation for the college assessment. What is your choice?"

The man stood there for more than ten seconds before tremblingly asking: "Your Highness, is what you said true? Can you really give me citizenship and a letter of recommendation?!"

"Oh, of course, I don't need to repeat it a second time, right?" Kexia sat back in the chair, "So, what is your choice?"

"Your Highness, I have only one choice," the man straightened his appearance, and then solemnly knelt down on one knee, "I, Napoli Gelot, will present to the First Princess of the Kingdom of Grant, Kexia von Ge Lysande Loser's loyalty! With my life! My everything! Keep my loyalty! No matter when and what! Even those things that must not be exposed to the sun! Also..." 1
"Stop, stop! What are you talking about! The front looks good! What the hell is the back! I, Princess Kexia, am such a person!" The princess hurriedly got up again, interrupting this strange allegiance.

Ai Panlu, the female guard on one side, is already considering whether to report to His Majesty the King.

Chapter 42 The Princess' First Command

"Your Highness, I wonder what you are going to do next?" Gallot, who was interrupted to swear, calmed down, lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, listen carefully, this princess is not looking for some dead warrior, what I like is your knowledge of alchemy."

"Hey? Your Highness, I'm just an apprentice, and I don't have much advanced knowledge, and you have just tested it, and my knowledge is far inferior to yours, Your Royal Highness." The man was a little embarrassed.

"It's enough, well, although it's worse than I expected." Kexia waved her hand back and asked Aipanlu to hand over an iron box to the man, "Get up, there are some alchemy blueprints in here, take a good look .”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gallot got up and took the tin box, put the tin box on the table, opened it, and took out the blueprints inside to check.

The man didn't care at first, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. "Your Highness, these are..." After reading it, he had no choice but to ask.

"You should understand it, right? You should be able to use the above operations, right?" the princess asked back.

"Yes, Your Highness. These technologies belong to the relatively elementary refining and processing of magic stones, but...compared with the previous technologies, I feel that these technologies are more efficient, the materials required are cheaper, and the time-consuming is shorter! At the same time, it is also It can decompose multi-element magic stones at a deeper level! Increase the output of the number and types of elements in magic stones! Greatly reduce the waste of refining! This can be said to be an epoch-making technology!" Gelot couldn't help but praise loudly, even An apprentice like him can also see the value of these blueprints.

"Uh, is it that powerful... Well, forget it." Kexia said seriously: "Napoli Geylot obeys!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Gaillot lifted his spirits and straightened up unconsciously.

"Now the royal family is training the new monarch, and they will use new steam equipment. At present, there are no large alchemy workshops or small private studios on the market. Their production capacity and quality cannot meet the requirements of the kingdom." Princess. Sighing, "At the same time, their quotations are also a bit high. Therefore, the royal family needs a workshop that can provide a stable supply of goods at a low price."

"I... uh, the royal family chose you. You will master these new technologies and build a new factory. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty? Your Highness, I am just an apprentice and have no experience in managing factories. Besides, if such technology is entrusted to me, if it is lost and leaked, I will not be able to afford it!" The man knelt down and saluted again in fear.

"Tsk, don't be afraid, you just need to do what I say, and I will explain the next steps to you slowly." The princess was a little impatient, and took out five cards from the hidden pocket at her waist. golden ticket.

"Here, here is five hundred gold tals. Take it and look for the address of the factory first. Remember not to be too remote, but it must be safe enough, low-key, and at the same time ensure convenient transportation." Kexia pushed the dazed woman aside. In the guard's hand, "Aipanlu, take it to him. Huh? Why are you in a daze!"
