This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 99 New Model

"Lord Lucian, I have already collected the moonlight moss you need. The completeness of each unit is over 98%..." Seeing that Lucian seemed to be looking at him, Gagarin suppressed his excitement, carefully took out a basket of moonlight moss, and then carefully "showed" his contribution.

“Thank you.” Lucian certainly couldn’t be as close to Gagarin as he was to Carly. After nodding politely, he put away the basket of moonlight moss, then called Gagarin, who was bowing slightly and preparing to leave.

"I remember you are good at ice magic, right?" Lucian asked casually.

“Yes, yes.” But Gagarin became nervous, his heart pounding. He carefully observed Lucian and quickly introduced himself, hoping to attract Lucian's attention and show his strength.

"Lord Lucian, I am good at ice magic. I improved the [Frost Freeze] by myself. I improved the magic of freezing an area into the [Freeze Ray] that shoots out a beam of freezing light. The most powerful attack magic I mastered is [Icicle Crushing]. The core destructive power can reach... "

"Okay, I understand." Lucian listened to Gagarin's introduction patiently and nodded slightly.

Gagarin is a very orthodox wizard apprentice. His levels in all aspects are balanced, but not outstanding. He does have a certain universality.

Gagarin bowed his head at this time, feeling extremely nervous.

“Come over to my place at this time tomorrow.” Lucian’s voice rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually moving away.

Gagarin did not dare to look up, but his heart was beating uncontrollably.

Lucian had no idea how excited Gagarin was at the moment, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care much.

After all, for him, this was just a small attempt to test the waters. Now his main energy was still placed on two more important things: one was to prepare the potion and accelerate the improvement of mental strength with the help of the potion; the second thing was to continue studying the alchemy notes and design the first draft of the exclusive witch tool.

There is actually only one purpose for these two things, which is to speed up Lucian's accumulation of strength, so that he can consolidate his own strength as soon as possible, complete the accumulation of mental power as soon as possible, and be promoted to a formal wizard.

Lucian still remembered that behind Bennett and Lilia, there were official wizards manipulating them behind the scenes.

Whether it was the somewhat strange investigation of the official wizard behind Bennett's family, or the deadly doll Adeline that Lilia obtained from a formal wizard, they were all the work of an official wizard.

They were simply unable to enter due to the restrictions of the ruins, but that didn't mean Lucian wouldn't encounter official wizards after leaving the ruins.

Perhaps, at this moment there are official wizards guarding outside the ruins, waiting for the "winners" of the fight inside the ruins to come out.

What might be even worse is that there is more than one official wizard lurking outside the ruins.

At this time, Lucian was inside the ruins and could not judge the situation outside, so he had to consider the worst possibility and prepare as thoroughly as possible.

"Let's prepare the Moonlight Tribute first. After preparing the potion, we need to study the barrier effect of the space crystal. I remember looking at a notebook about the fairy witch formation in the study room before, and there is a similar rune structure in it that can be used as a reference..."

Lucian quickly sorted out the experimental equipment on the table and looked at a sketch spread out on the table.

The sketch was extremely complex, with numerous intricate alchemical runes and wizard arrays composed of them densely drawn on it. However, the sketch had only completed an outline so far, and there were still a lot of blank spaces inside waiting for Lucian to fill in later.

However, judging from the parts that have been completed so far, we can already get a preliminary idea of ​​the style of this witch tool.

This is a book-shaped wizard tool, and Lucian deliberately designed it to look like a leather-covered notebook that he often uses.

However, its internal structure is extremely complex. In Lucian's imagination, this wizard tool can be continuously filled with new things as his strength improves, just like a blank notebook can continue to accumulate new things as the owner of the notebook continues to accumulate.

In the blank space on the right side of the sketch, the name of this unfinished wizard tool is written - "Wizard's Notes".

While Lucian was immersed in configuring Moonlight Tribute and solving problems related to the design draft of [Wizard's Notes], Gagarin became a little worried because of Lucian's words, and even spent the second half of the day in excitement and anxiety.

Although Gagarin knew that his behavior was a little funny, he couldn't help but think about it.

He hasn't experienced this somewhat unrealistic feeling for a long time. It seems that the last time he had a similar feeling was when he entered the Grey Bone Academy as a new blood. At that time, he was full of curiosity and yearning for the mysterious and powerful wizards, and did not know the bloody cruelty of the wizarding world.

"Wake up, Gagarin, you are not Carly. Perhaps the truth is not as good as you imagined. This world is cruel." Gagarin finally lost control of himself. He patted his head and poured a basin of cold water on himself.

But when he thought of Carly who was lying in the core area of ​​the secret realm and receiving baptism, his mood still fluctuated.

But after a long time, Gagarin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After all, he is no longer the silly boy who had just stepped into the wizarding world, was a little arrogant, ignorant, fearless and brave.

Now, he already has a very qualified "wizard mentality", so he also subconsciously thinks about the equivalent exchange that wizards practice, and thinks about whether there is anything on his side that Lucian is interested in.

At the same time, Gagarin was also thinking about the purpose of Lucian asking him to go over, and the "value" that Lucian needed.

"Actually... this state is not bad. At least it's better than when I followed Lillia before." After a moment of silence, Gagarin grinned, as if he was using the smile to hide the uneasiness and embarrassment in his heart, but in his heart, he still couldn't help looking forward to Lucian's instructions.

"By the way, Lord Lucian seems to have a great demand for moonlight moss recently. I'll get up early tomorrow morning and collect some more. I'll tell you if it's necessary..." Gagarin opened his eyes just after he entered a meditative state. Then he stood up and rushed to the woods where the moonlight moss grew under the cover of night.

……

Early the next morning, when Lucian finished a night of meditation and came out of the study to get some fresh air, he saw Gagarin, who had found a place not far from the study to sit in meditation.

Next to him, there was a small pile of moonlight moss, and some of the moss even had crystal dewdrops on it, as if it had just been picked.

"So early?" Lucian raised his eyebrows as he looked at Gagarin, who was meditating and waiting silently. However, Lucian soon understood the reason and could only sigh silently in his heart that it was not easy for these weak wizard apprentices to get a chance.

However, Lucian did not say anything. After observing silently for a while, he returned to the study, took out the first draft of "Wizard's Notes", and continued to revise and adjust it. When the time agreed with Gagarin was almost up, Lucian put down the work in his hands, walked out of the study, and saw Gagarin standing respectfully at the door.

"Lord Lucian." Gagarin bowed, his tone full of the respect and humility of a subordinate.

"Well, come in." Lucian nodded slightly and led Gagarin into the room.

Gagarin took a deep breath and suppressed his inner tension. He carefully followed Lucian into the study, or rather Lucian’s temporary laboratory, but his mood was fluctuating slightly, and he was a little worried about his future fate.

Under Gagarin's nervous yet hopeful gaze, Lucian looked at Gagarin, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"Gagarin, you probably want to follow me and work for me in the future, right?" Lucian looked at Gagarin and spoke slowly.

"Yes, Lord Lucian." Gagarin bowed slightly, but he was very nervous. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to add a big bargaining chip for himself.

"Lord Lucian, I am only two spirit runes away from being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice. I am willing to follow you, sir. Even if I am promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice later, I will..."

Lucian looked at Gagarin and couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that this guy has placed all his hopes on himself, and according to Gagarin, this is already considered selling out to some extent. Usually, such concessions are made between a third-level wizard apprentice and a formal wizard.

“I see.” Lucian looked at Gagarin and gently interrupted his “sales pitch.”

After thinking for a moment, Lucian took out a list.

"Let's put it this way. Although I don't have any plans to accept students for the time being, I will indeed need some people to help me with things when I return to the academy..."

Gagarin was nervous and couldn't help but look up slightly, carefully looking at the paper Lucian handed over.

He originally thought that this was a strict contract, but upon closer inspection he discovered that it was just a list.

“Lord Lucian…what is this?” Gagarin looked at the list Lucian handed over, confused for a moment.

“Equivalent exchange.” Lucian tapped some numbers at the back of the list, motioning for Gagarin to look through it first.

Gagarin held his breath and then quickly browsed through it.

1 standard unit magic stone...10 points
1 standard serving of Moonlight Moss...2 points
……

1 standard unit of recovery potion...100 points
1 standard unit of Moonlight Tribute...2000 points
……

Gray Bone Basic Meditation Method (Improved)...10000 points
……

Gagarin's breathing gradually became heavy.

He looked at the exchange list, browsed through the items, knowledge and other resources on it, and felt his eyes turn red.

“Sir, what’s this?” Gagarin thought of a possibility and looked up at Lucian.

"If you help me with something, I will use points as your reward. After a comprehensive assessment based on your seriousness, results, and value, I will give you a certain amount of points as a reward."

Lucian looked at Gagarin, then pointed to the small pile of moonlight moss he had just moved in. "For example, if you have 29 basic units of these moonlight mosses, then according to the purchase price I proposed, it would be 46 points."

"You can use your points to exchange for any items, knowledge, or other resources on the list you want. Of course, if you want to exchange knowledge from me, you need to sign an additional confidentiality agreement." Lucian smiled and pushed the list to Gagarin, shrugging. "Everything is an equal exchange."

Gagarin took a deep breath, but his hands were shaking with excitement.

Equivalent exchange? Bullshit equivalent exchange. When he followed Lilia before, Lilia also talked about the so-called equivalent exchange, but the final result was that the benefits often did not fall on him, but he was always used to bear the danger.

If Lilia's equal exchange had been as open and fair as the one Lucian listed on this list, Gagarin would not have joined forces with several second-level wizard apprentices to protect himself on his way to Kosay Island.

After all, many of the resources that Lucian listed in the points redemption list are enough to make a second-level wizard apprentice, or even a third-level wizard apprentice, fight for their lives.

For example, the potion [Moonlight Praise] is a precious potion that can harmlessly assist wizard apprentices to improve their mental strength. It is a precious potion that is difficult to buy with magic stones. If Gagarin can take a bottle of Moonlight Praise, he can be successfully promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice!
Not to mention there are many other resources, even some precious witchcraft models, and...

“Sir, this… improved basic meditation method?” Gagarin looked at one of the items on the list and looked at Lucian in surprise, feeling extremely uneasy.

"Oh, that's a version I made with the help of the Gray Bone Meditation. It's probably about 50% better than the original version." Lucian explained briefly.

This improved version of meditation is actually the Graybone Meditation·Revised. Although it is not as good as the Graybone Meditation·Revised II that Lucian himself uses, it is naturally much more powerful than the original Graybone Meditation.

Even in Lucian's plan, if conditions permit, he will also use the Gray Bone Meditation Method·Revised II to "seduce" these wizards.

But it certainly couldn't be now. After all, with the strength of Graybone Meditation II, if it was taken out, it might attract the attention of regular wizards, or even higher-level wizards. Lucian knew that he would take as much as his appetite allowed.

But even so, this modified Graybone Meditation Method, which Lucian did not think highly of, had already made Gagarin's breathing become heavy, and his whole body was shaking slightly.
