Make the dragon great again

Chapter 304 The so-called 'daily life' of human beings (two in one)

With the incident at noon beforehand, Elena was not troubled by the ladies in the afternoon, and she finished the class safely.

After class, the academy was crowded with people, but Elena wasn't too conspicuous in the crowd.

After confirming that there were no malicious eyes behind her, Elena looked at the sun that hadn't completely disappeared outside, and felt that the skin on her face seemed to be hurting again—it was accidentally exposed to the sun when she encountered trouble at noon today. The place.

Elena suffered from a strange disease since she was a child.

In the beginning, it was just that the skin felt uncomfortable when exposed to the sun, but as we got older, this small problem that was originally innocuous magnified at an extremely fast speed to a level that was life-threatening;

In the past, I was only slightly allergic to the sun, but later it was so severe that as long as it was exposed to the sun, the skin would be burned quickly, and even as long as it was in the daytime, I would feel weak all over the body. If it is too long, the body function will be greatly reduced, and even the muscles will atrophy...

In order to cure this strange disease of hers, her brother, who was dependent on each other, did not hesitate to give up the great future of the knight order and became an adventurer who worked his life for money.

If it hadn't been for her brother Yorkson who has been working hard to make money outside these years, and has been buying expensive alchemy potions to restore body functions, I am afraid that Elena would have died of muscle atrophy already?

Fortunately, now that she has been appreciated by Headmaster Julian, she can enter the Imperial Academy of Magic to study, and she can get in touch with the rich magical background of the academy. In the future, she may be able to research a potion that can only cure her own strange disease.

——Although even Dean Julian, who is a fifth-level magician, said that he could do nothing about her illness.

Elena also knows that this is very difficult, but always relying on her brother to work hard outside, and she is completely a drag, this kind of life makes her feel very painful, so even if the possibility is not high, she still wants to try.

No matter how bad it is, the knowledge she learned in the academy, coupled with her extraordinary agility, is enough to make her an excellent pharmacist, able to lighten her brother's burden, and even take care of herself...

In order to avoid being blocked and bullied by those young ladies when she waited until evening to leave as in the previous two days, Elena gritted her teeth and hurried away while enduring the discomfort of the sun.

Although as long as it is not exposed to direct sunlight, it will not have much impact for a while, but it is still a painful thing for Elena to go outside during the day, even if she wraps her whole body with blackout cloth.

"In the three days since I came to the academy, I have to go back and forth between the academy and the church at least once every day during the day. The consumption of alchemy potions in these three days alone is twice as much as usual!"

Elena was very distressed, but knew that it was worth the investment.

In the past two years, brother Yorkson has deposited more and more money in the internal account of the Adventurer's Guild. According to his letter, it seems that he has found a lucrative job under the hands of a certain big shot;

In the letter, Yorkson told his younger sister not to worry about him, nor about income, and that all the savings in the guild account should be handed over to Elena herself. It was precisely in this way that Elena was able to barely go out for activities during the day—— It was bought at the cost of several times the consumption of potions.

Unable to rely on her elder brother all the time, Elena decided to find a way to make money by herself.

The method is actually very simple. It is to rely on self-study and the knowledge taught by the academy to make some low-level potions or spell-casting media that do not require extraordinary power to participate in the production, and buy them in the Adventurer's Guild.

Although it is impossible for these low-level medicines to make much money, they are at least the first step...

Taking advantage of the evening when the sun had not completely set and the streets were full of pedestrians, Elena imagined a future in which she could settle her income and expenses by herself, while enduring physical discomfort and returning to the chapel where she lived without any danger.

The church is not big, and few people usually come here. Apart from Elena, there is only a serious old priest, Wallace, who lives here.

The old priest is a friend of Yorkson's deceased teacher, and he can be regarded as Elena's half adoptive father. Yorkson is away all year round, and only this upright old priest can entrust his younger sister to his care.

Usually, there is an old aunt, Quilin, who lives nearby, who will come to help with the affairs of the church. Quilin is the sister of the old priest, but she is not a believer in the Holy Church.

After returning to the church, it was completely dark.

The scene of the "earth full of stars" in the central city has already shown signs. Even in such a remote place where the church is located, there are several magic energy stabilizers on the side of the road, which are transforming the energy accumulated during the day into soft lights that emit light. out.

"I'm back." Elena entered the apse and shouted to the empty living room.

"Uncle Wallace isn't here?"

Elena didn't pay too much attention to it, maybe she went to a certain believer's house for the "door-to-door listening to confession" service?
The Central City at night will not completely fall into a deep sleep. For example, the business district where the Adventurer's Guild is located is the sleepless "city within a city" of the Central City.

Also used to being nocturnal, there is Elena who had to try to change her biological clock recently.

Next, Elena will bring the potions she made these days to the commercial area for sale.

Take the first step towards self-reliance!
"Aunt Quirin?"

Elena came to the back kitchen and yelled habitually, but there was no response.

"Strange, at this point in the past, Aunt Quilin should be preparing dinner."

Father Wallace is not here, and Aunt Quinlin is also not here. Did both of them have something to go out today?But it's so late...

"Should I be back later? I'm going to sell the medicine first, and I have to get up early to go to the academy tomorrow, so I can't sleep late."

Back in her room, she counted the dozen or so medicines neatly placed on the table, and packed them in leather. Elena left a note saying that she was going to the business district for business, and then left the church again.

When closing the door, Elena faintly felt that something was wrong, but she didn't have a clue, coupled with the excitement that she was about to sell her work for the first time, she didn't think too much...

Compared with shrinking and shrinking during the day, at night, without the suppression of the sun, Elena returned to the normal vivacity of a girl of this age, familiarly crossing the streets and alleys, and soon came to a place not far from the church. far from the business district.

Taking a deep breath, Elena walked into a tall building with a distinctive style. It was the branch of the Adventurers Guild in the central city, and it was also the headquarters of the Adventurers Guild in the western part of the mainland.

In the usual adventurers guild, even at night, there are quite a few people inside, but today it seems a bit deserted, with only three or five people chatting in the empty hall.

Elena didn't pay much attention, and came to the reception desk to say hello to Miss Fisher who was on duty at this time.

"Good evening, Miss Fisher."

"...Ah, Elena, are you here?"

There seemed to be something wrong with Miss Fisher's expression, she kept blinking at Elena, but Elena was lowering her head, all her attention was on her purse, and she didn't see any hints from her.

"I brought the potions mentioned a few days ago. There are sixteen potions in total. Although they are all low-level healing potions, their quality is definitely much better than those on the market."

Elena talked eloquently, and put the leather bag stuffed with medicine in front of the stage.

Only then did she notice Miss Fisher's forced smile.

"Well, Elena, why don't you sell these potions if you don't want to buy them?" Miss Fisher persuaded.

"Are you doubting their quality? Miss Fisher, although I am not an official magician, I have the title of junior pharmacist certified by the guild."

Seemingly worried that she was not convincing enough, Elena added another sentence:
"Although the healing agent is the most common alchemy potion on the market, I have improved the formula of the healing agent by referring to the 'Water of Rejuvenation' formula of the Imperial Academy of Magic. The effect is at least 20.00 times stronger than that of ordinary healing agents. %!"

Seeing that Elena talked more and more, the holy believer at the reception desk, Miss Fisher, who occasionally went to church to worship, hurriedly stopped her, approached her and said in a low voice:
"Elena, you've gotten into trouble, don't stay here, leave now!"

Before Elena could react, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind:

"Mr. Sheriff, that's her."

It was Katerina's voice.

Without looking back, Elena finally realized that the situation was not good.

"Miss Katerina, what can I do?"

"What's the matter? Don't you know yourself? I think you should honestly explain what you have done to this Mr. Sheriff!"

Elena looked at the middle-aged man in the uniform of a sheriff next to Katerina, with a puzzled look on the surface, but she was already vigilant in her heart.

Sure enough, the magistrate said arrogantly:
"Eleanna Reeves, you are suspected of stealing imperial secrets and using them for profit. I hereby announce that you have been arrested."

A few lightly armored guards rushed in from behind and surrounded Elena.

"Your Majesty the Sheriff, there must be something wrong, how could I steal imperial secrets?"

After all, she was only a 17-year-old girl. Even though she matured earlier than her peers, Elena couldn't help but panicked.

"The potions in your hand are evidence."

"Pharmaceuticals? These are just low-level heals prepared by myself..."

"Stop making excuses, Elena!" Katerina interrupted her defense sharply.

"Just now you said it yourself, the formula of these potions, you used the formula of revitalizing water from the Academy of Magic to optimize, I think you should know that revitalizing water is a quick-acting medicine exclusively for the imperial military Healing potion, its formula is absolutely confidential!"

Elena's body shook, and only then did she realize what mistake she had made.

Due to her own strange illness, Elena must regularly take magic potions that have the effect of repairing body functions, so as to counteract the uncontrollable weakening process of muscles and internal organs.

Although this disease cannot be cured, and it will cause fear of the sun, sunburn, etc., but in fact, as long as the magic potion machine is used continuously to replenish vitality, generally speaking, there will be no danger of life.

Some time ago, when I met Professor Julian, the dean of the Academy of Magic, although the dean could do nothing about Elena's illness, out of sympathy or support, he concocted some Su Sheng medicine in front of Elena. water for her.

Obviously, the dean intentionally let Elena watch the complete preparation process and let her learn it, and Elena is a theoretical genius appreciated by Dean Julian, and indeed quickly restored Su Sheng's life. Part of the recipe for water.

Although Elena couldn't reproduce the part that needed magical power to assist, she learned the three flavors of the other relatively basic configuration techniques that didn't require the participation of supernatural power in a short period of time.

So Elena used what she had learned to improve the formula of the low-level healing agents on the rotten street, and successfully produced a new type of potion that was as effective as the middle-level healing agents, but at a much lower cost...

This sounds like an inspirational chicken soup story of "a poor girl is appreciated by a wise man, and after acquiring new technology, she improves the formula of the medicine and finally succeeds". However, the problem lies in this 'technology'.

Dean Julian is a casual person, and he is notoriously unassuming in the Senate, or to put it bluntly, he is notorious for not following the rules.

As a high-quality potion specially provided by the military, the water of rejuvenation is indeed a "secret" of the Holy Rand Magic Empire. Only magicians who have graduated from the Imperial Academy of Magic and entered several backup institutions of the Imperial Mages can get it. He is qualified to learn its formula, and the purpose of learning is also to provide the military with finished medicine.

Although the formula of the Water of Rejuvenation is not a secret in many places, at least on the surface, it is a 'secret' that only certain people are qualified to know.

To put it bluntly, only magicians who serve the empire have the legal qualifications to make the water of revival.

Usually, there will be some small workshops on the market that flow out of the water of life, as long as they put on the name of "flowing from the army", no matter whether this kind of circulation is legal or not, at least the producers can escape legal accountability - unless he was caught trying to make the potion.

Therefore, normally speaking, although Dean Julian's actions are not in compliance with the rules, firstly, Elena has not learned the complete formula of rejuvenating water, and secondly, she has not made or even sold rejuvenating water, so this is completely A small problem not worth mentioning.

However, if someone seized the handle and had to go online...then the matter would be big or small.

"Your Excellency the Sheriff, these are just low-level potions and have nothing to do with the water of rejuvenation. Please don't listen to the lies of people with ulterior motives."

Elena knew that the outcome of this incident depended on the nature of the potions she had prepared, so she insisted that these potions were just low-level potions and had nothing to do with the revitalizing water.

At the same time, Elena couldn't help but wonder, no matter how much Katerina hated her, at most she would be a stumbling block in the academy and take the lead to push her out, but in this battle, Katerina is clearly prepared. Come.

Just to disgust herself, is she doing it for this sake?

Elena suddenly remembered what Ms. Lena had said to her at noon - Dean Julian was involved in the disputes of the Senate.

Elena thought again that her incomplete formula of revitalizing water was obtained from Dean Julian...

Could it be that he was involved in the struggle of the big shots?As a ploy against Dean Julian?
Sure enough, the arrogant magistrate snorted and said:
"This afternoon, we received a report that you secretly hid the water of rejuvenation stolen from the army, and found it during the search of your residence under orders."

The magistrate took out a small cloth bag, which contained some of the revitalizing water that Dean Julian had given to Elena.

Elena's heart sank.

It seems that he was really involved in the struggle of the big shots!

But what made Elena even more worried at this time was the old priest and Aunt Quilin who were not in the church...

Outside of the Adventurer's Guild, in the aristocratic district of the central city, a similar scene was also unfolding in a certain luxurious mansion.

And the one surrounded here was the one who brought Elena into the Academy of Magic, and also the head of the Academy of Magic, Julian Dalton, who was really targeted in this incident.

The only lesson humans learn from history is that humans never learn.

Even the Lizardmen are very contemptuous of the tendency of human beings to fight internally, but for human beings themselves, the conflict of interests arising from their own shortcomings, and the resulting internal struggles are simply daily routines, and no one will think about it feel strange……

And in the central city, at the same time that such a daily scene was showing, in the outskirts of the capital of the empire, a few faint dragon chants that were not so "daily" echoed faintly in the night.

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

It still feels too long. It seems that I still have to learn the specific writing methodology, otherwise I will make no progress by typing on the keyboard...
