Angel said nothing, looked at him, then silently took out a few Moras and placed them in Timaus's hand.
Timaus's face froze.
"That's not what I meant. Using the public alchemy table is free... But the alchemy process does require the assistance of Mora, which is a very useful universal auxiliary material. You should use it for alchemy, please."
Timaus returned Mora and stepped away from the alchemy table.
"Thank you."
An Qi thanked him, then placed a bag of ingredients on the table, and according to the formula she had derived long ago, she took out some ingredients and placed them on the alchemy table.
Then he took out the bags of Mora that had been counted in advance and poured the supplementary Mora onto the table.
Then she rubbed her palms together, preparing to turn the alchemy platform to draw in the appropriate amount of earth power.
Timaus looked at the materials in Anqi's bag, rubbed his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"You are an alchemy apprentice, right? These materials are commonly used by apprentices. Generally speaking, the principle is simple but can be varied in countless ways. The operation process is complicated and can basically cover all the basic alchemy processes. Oh, I miss it so much when I think about it. It took me half a year to refine..."
"call out--"
The light flowing through the earth's veins flashed and disappeared.
On the alchemy table, an antique bronze animal horn lay there cleanly.
Angel glanced at the petrified Timaus and said nothing. She just took away the horn and replaced it with new alchemy materials.
"call out--"
"call out--"
There were flashes of underground light in succession, clean and neat, without any interruption or the explosions of materials that alchemy apprentices often caused.
Ten minutes later, An Qi put the dozen or so refined materials into a small bag one by one. Then she picked up a large bag of raw materials that had not been consumed much, and ran towards the Knights' headquarters with a happy little jump.
After taking two steps, Angie remembered something. She carried the bag, turned around, bowed to Timaus, and said politely with a blank expression:
"Thank you."
Then turn around and continue taking small hops.
Timaus was left standing there stiffly, his lips trembling, speechless for a long time in the wind.
"Genius... Is genius so great?!"
"Genius is truly amazing! Woohoo!"
Timaus covered his face; the sadness of a middle-aged man came unexpectedly.
This made Sato, who had just arrived, freeze in her tracks. She was not good at communication, so she didn't know what was going on, let alone what she should do.
……
In the library, Lisa took out Angel's alchemy results one by one from the small bag.
Dark golden horns, reddish-brown metal nuggets, emerald green gemstones, blue resin…
She checked each one to see if it was complete and had any residual earth power left, enough to prove it was recently forged.
After a while, Lisa looked up. She glanced at the large bag of raw materials next to her that had barely been consumed, and looked at Anqi, who was sitting opposite her like an elementary school student, with a look of surprise. With a bit of disbelief, Lisa asked tentatively:
"Every time it's successful?"
"Ah."
"How long will it take?"
"Every minute or so is refined according to perfect operation."
For the first time, Lisa broke her calm and composed demeanor and touched the witch hat on her head with a bit of confusion.
"You really have never been exposed to alchemy before?"
"No."
"What alchemical formula did you use for this one?"
"It's %&*￥＃..."
A complex formula that only an alchemist could understand was spoken with great skill.
To Lisa, it sounded like a clear and very creative formula.
She touched her hat unconsciously again.
After a moment, Lisa smiled brightly and gently:
"Little Angie, you've had a master before... Oh, this is your first time dealing with alchemy, so you must not have a master, right?"
"Well, there is no alchemy master."
"What do you think of me? Pah! I mean I am very satisfied with your results! Here, this is your reward, and there are new homework and assignments, so hurry up and put them away."
Lisa brought over a pile of books, each with a bookmark, which looked like they had a long history of use. She brought over another pile of materials, another box of Mora, and so on. In the end, the table was filled with everything.
Angie blinked in confusion.
"Don't be afraid. I'll go find Qin and ask for some help. You don't have to move back by yourself."
Lisa caressed Angie's little hands with a loving look in her eyes, as if to say - such precious hands, how can they be wasted on hard labor? They don't deserve it!
Then Lisa walked quickly out of the library and broke into Qin's office.
"Qin! I am absolutely certain that Angie cannot be a spy sent in by some force!"
Nonsense, what organization would be so stupid as to use a genius who has the talent to illuminate the academic world for hundreds of years as a spy?
If so, please increase your efforts, the more the better, thank you!
Qin looked up from the pile of files in confusion:
"Yeah, didn't we confirm that?"
"Ahem! What I mean is, this is a talented person, he must stay in Mondstadt no matter what!"
"what?"
"Anyway, don't worry about it, just give me some hands first!"
Lisa slammed the table hard, with an excitement in her eyes that was very unfamiliar to Qin.
Qin stared at her best friend blankly. After a moment, she nodded and chose to believe Lisa.
Lisa quickly led two tall and strong members of the knight group back, took Angie's hand, and took her out and home warmly.
"Little Angel, if you have any academic problems in the future, feel free to come to see Sister Lisa. If you are off work, you can come to my house to find me. My house is in this direction~"
Lisa felt no sense of danger of letting a wolf into the house.
"By the way, why don't you quit your job? How about working with your sister? You'll have plenty of time, the work will be easy, and you can focus on studying alchemy~~"
"Ah, judging from your expression, you seem a little reluctant, right? It's okay, we'll take it slow. With your talent, you can study while working. When you figure it out, come to me and tell me. I'll pay for the deposit, redemption fee, and breach of contract fee."
"By the way, I have a textbook here, but it was written by me. Mondstadt's chief alchemist, Albedo, said that everything you need to know to get started with alchemy is in it. I'll give it to you later, and you can flip through it when you have time, okay?"
"If you need any physical work, you can always use Timaus. You should have seen the man next to the alchemy table, right? He has received a lot of care from Albedo and me, and has been using the public alchemy table to do his own work. This is what he should pay back. I will go and tell him later, in short, you must not hurt yourself."
Lisa was all smiles all the way.
Not only was An Qi surprised, but even the two knights who were more familiar with her were also astonished.
But only Lisa knew how happy she was.
Scholars with profound knowledge are keen to train successors. Some great scholars seem not to like recruiting students, but in fact it is often because they don't have anyone they like, not because they don't want to.
A successor not only represents the inheritance of a lifetime of learning. Moreover, since all the learning and thinking are inherited from the master, after the students have completed their studies, they can often generate a lot of complementary inspiration with the master's research field. After a certain level, they can learn from each other, complement each other, and make progress together.
For a true scholar, such a perfect companion is also one of the shortcuts to the truth.
As the pinnacle of Mondstadt's intelligence, Albedo has a genius assistant in Sucrose, but Lisa has never met such a genius.
Now, Lisa has found it.
In the midst of her excitement, Lisa suddenly recalled her experience of leaving the Decree House, the crazy knowledge, the truth forbidden by the God of Heaven, and the irresistible disaster when approaching the truth.
Lisa's smile froze immediately. The scholar's instinctive enthusiasm seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.
"Angel."
"Sister Lisa, what's wrong?"~!q*(耳／８<6-￡Ⅸ∞五、+*9；+*san△{０}≤⑦(
"It's dangerous and crazy to touch the truth. Of course, it's also fatal, but I'm not worried about the fatality. I'm worried about the kind of madness that loses control and causes endless harm... It's still early for you, but if one day you reach that stage, I hope you can talk to me about your thoughts. Sister Lisa, I also want to hear a different answer."
Lisa stroked Angie's head, her dim eyes revealing a fragile emotion, dejected and confused.
Anqi looked at Lisa in confusion, nodded vigorously, and took the initiative to hold Lisa's hand tightly.
Lisa then smiled, holding Anqi's little hand, and walked away gradually.
Chapter 13 My apprentice, give me money!
"Wuhu~~"
Amber was flying in the sky over Mondstadt again.
As a Mondstadt flying champion and a member of the Zhangsan clan who violated the rules on a daily basis and had his license confiscated, Amber really liked the feeling of looking down at the city from the sky.
However, since it had not been long since her license was confiscated, and the new license had just been warmed up, Amber was very cautious and did not perform any stunts or tricks.
It was just an ordinary gliding, at most the pair of long, white, voluptuous legs swung a few times in pleasure.
But just this alone made her happy and she had a bright smile on her face.
"Eh? Isn't that Angie?"
On a platform somewhere below, Amber saw the blonde girl with whom she had become very close.
Without thinking too much, Amber adjusted the flight trajectory and landed slowly next to Angel.
"Good morning, Angie. What are you looking at... huh? The Fools? What are you looking at them for?"
"morning."
Angie looked back at Amber, then continued to observe the fools chatting below from a distance.
Amber put her hands on Anqi's shoulders and approached her with a curious look on her face. She rubbed her cheek against Anqi's golden hair and said:
"They are notorious in Mondstadt... oh, no, I should say in all countries except Solstice. Why are you staring at them? Everyone wants to stay away from the Fools!"
"I won't tell you."
"Hey? Why? Tell me, tell me~~"
Amber started to act coquettishly without any sense of distance.
An Qi turned her head, showing serious dead fish eyes, and said seriously:
"Can you keep it a secret?"
"Of course you can! Amber, I'm a very strict person!"
"Then I can do that too."
Angie puffed out her chest proudly.
Amber puffed up her cheeks, shook Angie's body, and continued to beg relentlessly.
Suddenly, Anqi raised her hand and pushed Amber's body downwards. She also squatted down to avoid the gazes of the fools below.
"Tsk~~"
"What happened? What happened? Were you discovered?"
"If you hadn't been so noisy, you wouldn't have been noticed."
"Hey, well, I'm sorry."
Amber put her hands together in apology and smiled happily again.
Angel also smiled. After having experienced what happened to Kiana, Angel was very tolerant of beautiful girls with silly personalities.
"Don't you have to work today?"
"I'm just working. In addition to checking road conditions and monster activities in the wild, scouts also monitor city customs and check the health of buildings from time to time."
"But you're slacking off now. I'm going to tell Sister Lisa about it!"
