Not a Witch

Chapter 170 The shadow in the laboratory

The teacher in black dress didn't feel any surprise when he heard this sentence. He casually walked to the fireplace, picked up the teapot, poured boiling hot black tea into his cup, and then returned to his seat, blowing the tea lightly. Holding the teacup, he took a small sip before putting down the cup.

"Now that you're such a big name, you won't even reply to my words." The teacher said again, but it didn't look like he was really angry, but like a joke among friends.

"No, it's just that it's a little troublesome to explain, Berg."

Grab it, grab it. "Tell me, Raleigh, I'm almost done writing the report here, anyway, I don't have class tomorrow, why don't you go for a drink tonight?"

The teacher holding the teacup blew on the teacup, took another sip, and then spoke slowly.

"This child is different from other people. For the noble lady in our country, I can patiently help her guide and answer questions. But for this child, if I show my kindness, she, who already has low self-esteem, may be regarded as a Pity or pity, which stimulates her self-esteem."

"That's true. With your identity as the Viscount of the Empire, you can easily be interpreted as that by this girl from Heiyan."

"Yes, I said on the surface that I was punishing her, so that she could hold her breath and concentrate on finishing the thick courseware."

"Aren't you afraid to really frustrate her and give up on yourself?" The man in the white shirt finished writing, pushed down his glasses, walked to the fireplace, and poured himself a pot of hot tea.

"No, those eyes are exactly the same as that of Sailian back then. She came from a difficult mountain, and her will is not comparable to that of a pampered child from an aristocratic family." Lei Li said firmly.

"Besides, you still have to save the scene. If not, let you sing and pretend to be a good person. Aren't you so hypocritical?" Reilly, who was wearing a black dress, continued.

"Hahaha, is this still you? Rayleigh. I really can't tell. He was a playboy back then, but why is he so kind and dedicated now?" He laughed and walked over, leaning on the window sill, looking at the old man in front of him. friend, said with a smile.

"I'm still me, I still like beautiful girls, look at those stupid thorns, I don't care about them?"

"Just talk about it now, I know it." The voice of the teacher in the white shirt gradually stabilized.

"You have been single for so many years, but you still can't let go of Sailian back then, otherwise you wouldn't be a viscount and come here to teach."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, let's go, go to the west to have some wine tonight, I'll treat you."

"Okay, if someone treats you, you can't miss it. I'm not as rich as you. Those guys in robes are really expensive."

"Haha, didn't you look down on the group of classmates who entered the church back then, don't you regret it now?"

As the sky was getting dark, the two middle-aged teachers closed the office door and walked down the mountain. Under the light yellow street lights, several magical locomotives were parked by the side of the road, picking up students and teachers after school.

------

High Tower Academy in the north, No. 407, Eagle Beak Laboratory Building.

There was a bright moon floating in the sky, and the silvery white moonlight shone on the granite exterior wall, making it look a little cold. Most of the lights in the laboratory building were extinguished, and only a small number of laboratories were still lit with candles.

Jack was wearing an ultramarine robe that belonged to the magic sequence, and stood by the experimental table, carefully assembling some metal components, and constantly checking whether the inscription patterns in it were connected, and occasionally charging with magic power for experiments.

He was the only one in the quiet laboratory, and the other students had already gone back. Fortunately, the school's laboratory will not be closed overnight, as long as the scene is dealt with before leaving and the door is locked.

With the tightening of the last screw, a half-meter-wide silver device is completed. The main body is a horizontal cylinder, and there are thin pipes and gear transmission mechanisms beside it. It looks like some kind of magical power furnace. .

After he mixed the ground and matched red and black powder, he rolled it up with paper, tilted it slightly, and poured it carefully into one of the round holes, and then added the blue lubricating liquid on the other side.

Afterwards, he cleaned up the table, first raised a light blue barrier around the mechanism, and then carefully shook the joystick. Following a flash of sparks, a burst of roar and explosion sounded in the mechanism, and the whole mechanism trembled slightly. , followed by the sound of fan blades turning inside.Hearing this pleasant voice, Jack also felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, maybe the pressure was too strong, maybe the design was flawed, a bright light flashed, and then a ball of flame exploded, air waves, heat, and shattered metal chips exploded inside the barrier.

巘戅巘戅.Fortunately, Jack responded quickly and urgently reinforced the barrier so that the internal explosion would not damage other instruments in the laboratory.

After a while, as the flames gradually died down, he touched the barrier.Then the smell of burnt and metal rushed into his nose, forcing him to take a few steps back and open the window for ventilation.

The previous test device had become fragments, nearly half of the main body was broken and scattered, exposing the gears and transmission structure inside, and the silver-white metal was covered with scorched black and fractures.

Still failed?Although he was a little prepared in his heart, Jack felt empty in his heart, and he lowered his hands a little hesitantly. It was still a little unacceptable to see the things he had spent a lot of credits and savings to be scrapped in an instant.

He is a third-year student of the High Tower Academy, and has been repeated for two years. If he fails to advance this year, he may have to leave Emenas by the end of the year.This is also the reason why he has worked so hard since last year, but he is not a very talented person, nor can he be called extremely smart, nor does he have any family background, connections, etc. He can only rely on himself.

Maybe I just don't have the talent.

Jack found a place to sit down and stared blankly at the fragments under the light. There was no expression on his face in the shadows, only a black shadow.

Why, obviously I have worked so hard.

After staying in Emenas for more than five years, he is still stuck in Sequence 5 and cannot be saved. He has never won any rankings in various competitions and activities.

Recalling that year, when he first entered the school, he was full of vigor and ambition, and he only felt a bitterness in his heart.

As a student of the magic sequence, you are really good at alchemy and machinery, but this is how the world is, not only you are advancing, but also the people around you are advancing. If you are not able to compete, you can only become a mediocre person who no one cares about.

Jack spent no less energy and painstaking efforts in various experiments and special research than those in the top grades, and even more, a lot more.

But I'm sorry, researching this kind of thing doesn't seem to be determined by hard work, maybe it depends more on luck and talent.Grab Grab Grab Grab

Exploring in the unknown dark field, who will know whether their direction is correct? Often an excellent result appears, and there are countless failed products beside it, and no one knows or cares about them.

At some point, the sockets of his eyes gradually became moist, and Jack curled himself up in the corner, looking at the debris under the light in his eyes, and his vision gradually blurred.

Could it be that I can only end my studies so mediocrely?

I'm really not reconciled to seeing such a wonderful world.Read more books and read more

Those dazzling geniuses, I also want to stand with them, even if only once.

Clenching his hands tightly and his voice choking, Jack slowly lowered his head, not daring to look at the light again. In the dark night, the blue robe was also stained with a few drops of wet liquid.

During these years, he tried his best to improve his strength and delve into those obscure technologies, just to find a blooming point.

It's a pity that this is just a dream.

The laboratory was silent, and the only light slowly dimmed, but the person sitting in the corner remained motionless, just sitting there quietly, slowly watching it gradually go out.

...

...

...

The lights went out.

Moonlight shines through the curtains, diluting the room into an extremely dark dark blue.

A vague figure gradually appeared in the laboratory, as if she had been standing there for a long time.

Chapter 170 Three New Drugs

Just as everyone was quickly adapting to the new life and environment, the new semester has passed for more than a month without knowing it.With the warming of the climate and the arrival of spring, many street trees in Emenas have begun to grow green shoots and new branches.

The central school building, the Red Shell Hall, the final scene of the Rainbow Neck Bottle Competition.

After being eliminated in the preliminary competition, some students with outstanding strength also emerged. No matter which one of the 19 students entered the final, they were all alchemy and pharmaceutical geniuses competing for the outside world.

Compared with the hustle and bustle before, the scene of this final was much quieter, but this was not because of fewer people watching, but because of the several master alchemists present in the arena.They are all people who have been famous for a long time, and you can even see these famous names in textbooks, so everyone has restrained a lot.

In the quiet hall, after the host read out the rules, the game officially started.Grab Grab Grab Grab

This time the school did not prepare the materials, but prepared all of them by themselves, because it was a newly developed potion, and the final final was more of a demonstration and practice, and the battle actually started long before the competition.

The students sat quietly on the stepped seats, watching the contestants in the arena, using all kinds of strange methods to process various materials, and then using exquisite methods to make unprecedented potions, full of anticipation in their hearts , This is the most attractive part of the 'Rainbow Neck Bottle' contest.

"Is that Senior Lamb? I haven't seen him for a year, and I almost didn't recognize him." Some students still couldn't help but chat in low voices below.

"Yes, since he got his hair, he has to change it every week like a maniac."

"This explosion-like hairstyle is really unique..."

A group of people watched the senior Lamb continue to heat and stir the viscous black liquid, and an unpleasant smell of burning wafted from the air.The other contestants next to them frowned, wanting to complain about the weird smell, but when they thought about today's competition, there would probably be no results, so they had to endure it.

Lorraine Hill's test bench is at the front of the site, that is, the front of the rostrum. On the left is Jean Nelund of the Tower Academy, and on the right is Osuna.

To be honest, she still doesn't care about her position today, it's too conspicuous.

Since it is indoors today, Lorraine Hill is not comfortable wearing a hood or anything like that, but simply put on a black coat, her long black hair is tied behind her back, and the back of her head is tied with a light red hair band. with a butterfly.As she turned her back to the audience, grinding and making potions step by step, many people were also attracted by this beautiful figure.

Originally, quite a group of people came to the competition site after hearing that a freshman witch was participating in the finals, but after watching them, their eyes turned from Osuna to Lorraine Hill next to her without knowing it.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. When the two stand together, this gap gradually becomes prominent, so people below also start to ask and discuss in a low voice.

"who is she?"

"She's beautiful, she's charming, she's lovely."

Some boys feel that they have been poisoned by the poison called love.Many people began to inquire about the origin of Lorraine Hill.

"Who is that girl? In 5 minutes, I want to know all the information about her." A well-dressed noble boy said to the follower behind him.

"Boss, don't inquire about it." The younger brother behind said a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter?" The noble boy turned his head slightly in surprise, his loyal follower dared to refute himself today.

"She was..." the servant whispered in his ear. After hearing this, the nobleman let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

In the competition site, various sounds of explosions, boiling, and condensation continued to be heard. Occasionally, a puff of smoke could be seen, causing students in the front row who didn't pay attention to cough and sneeze after smelling it.

Rock was sitting in the back row, looking at the scene in front of him, sawing wood, pushing stones, feeding insects, playing with fire, and centrifugally stirring with water. For the first time, he felt that these pharmaceutical masters in history were really not easy. , How did they find out so many strange ways of dealing with it.

After half a day of amazement and patience, the potions of the contestants were gradually completed, and the next step was to go on stage to explain and let the masters test.

The first person on stage was a young man in a crimson uniform, with slightly high cheekbones and a slightly tall and thin figure.

"Good afternoon, sages and masters, I am a student from Walled City College, and what I am showing today is my own invention."

After he finished speaking, he showed the light yellow reagent in his hands, and then explained.

"This kind of potion is applied on the weapon. After causing a wound to the enemy, it can prevent the wound from healing, causing the opponent to continuously lose blood, and finally die."

"Of course, if this is not enough, it also has the effect of paralyzing, so that the other party can't feel the pain, so that the other party can't easily notice it, and when the dizziness occurs, there won't be much blood."

After finishing speaking, he handed over the potion to the staff on the side, and then pulled out an original sequence 3 tyrannical bull on the spot to let him test the potion.

A swordsman smeared the potion on his sword, and then lightly cut a gash on the bull's hind leg. Since it didn't hurt very much, the bull started to jump, and then continued to eat grass with peace of mind, without realizing it. The back half of his body was covered with blood.

"looks great."

"Very suitable for yin people."

"Sure enough, it is the consistent style of the devil sequence. It has always been famous for its poison."

Afterwards, the 2 Sequence 8 sages and 3 alchemy and pharmaceutical masters sitting on the stage also began to rate the student.

"Comprehensive score, 71 points for creativity, 60 points for effect."

Soon the staff read out the judges' scores, and a master also began to talk about his own evaluation.

"This medicine, the idea is not bad, but it may not be easy to use in practice."
