Chapter 51 Return to the Academy

"Brand! Long time no see! How was your vacation?"

Professor Morian's alchemy laboratory.

Brand met here a partner he had not seen for a long time: Professor Morian, and his apprentice, senior Anna.

"Long time no see! Professor Morian, and Senior Anna, thank you for your concern, I had a good holiday!"

"It's not bad? I don't think you're doing well with your reluctance. Your family will definitely not treat you well when you go home this time. You nobles are troublesome, and you have to fight for any power."

Professor Morian is still the same, always believing that aristocratic families are full of power disputes like royal courts and harems.

But this time, he was finally right in some respects. Brand was indeed not having a good time during the holiday.

It is simply unimaginable that he, who has always been lazy and extravagant, would act like a "book king"!

I’m on vacation and I’m still delving into those troublesome mage knowledge!

"Okay! I won't tell you about the troubles at home."

Although Professor Morian mentioned his worries, Brand was generally in a good mood at this time:

"These are some berries I brought from the southern provinces. They taste pretty good. The other ones are coffee beans. I don't know how many you have left here, Professor Morian, so I brought some more."

Speaking of coffee beans, Professor Morian suddenly put his hands behind his back and said proudly:

"Teacher Celine! I haven't seen you for a long time and you are still so radiant! You have captivated my heart as your disciple!"

Hearing what Professor Morian said, Brand was confused at first, and then gradually realized that this should mean:

At the end of his speech, Professor Morian almost ran out of the reception room, and it was obvious that "he was indeed in a hurry."

"That's right!"

Brand looked serious and said:

Under the pressure of the upcoming Pioneering War two years later, the Holland family has begun secretly preparing for the war.

…

You have to find a suitable time, dress up beautifully, and finally deliver the perfectly completed holiday homework!

Oh right!

There is also a make-up apprenticeship ceremony!

Celine is quite familiar with some of Brand's strange "characteristics".

Looking at the traditional runes numbered 1 to 3 in her hand, Celine's eyes were full of surprise.

If you want to cultivate a large number of coffee bean plants, you must open a new medicinal garden or occupy a large amount of space for the original medicinal plants.

"Brand!"

However, after this trip home, Brand found that the space in the Holland family's medicine garden was almost saturated.

Next, Brand is going to visit his teacher Celine.

After some "friendly negotiations," Brand left Professor Morian's alchemy laboratory with a new contract.

Thinking of this, Celine started to cross her arms and asked with a serious face: "How is the holiday homework I assigned?"

After many considerations, Brand had actually already turned his attention to Professor Morian.

Facing his beautiful and generous teacher, Brand decided to express enough respect.

What surprised Celine was that after hearing her inquiry, Brand quickly handed in a perfect assignment.

Although it is a question sentence, Brand always feels that it is an affirmative sentence.

"Brand, after this period of research, the research on the new formula of refreshing potion has achieved milestone results. Currently, my research has turned to how to reduce the cost of the potion."

"Yes, it worked. This is a refreshing potion made of coffee beans as the main ingredient. The effect is equivalent to the original version. In terms of cost, it is three-quarters of the previous version."

At this time, Celine's eyes flashed with wisdom:

"So during the holidays, something must have happened at your home, right?"

Although she was very happy to be praised by Brand, she still tried hard to show a frown.

My next research direction is to cultivate suitable varieties of coffee beans. This involves the issue of the contract signed before. According to the original contract, the coffee beans are provided by Brand, and I cannot breed them here.

However, considering that you may not have any breeding personnel in related fields, I am going to discuss the issue of sharing with you again."

After waving goodbye to Professor Morian, Brand turned his attention to the somewhat uneasy Anna's senior sister in front of him.

"You actually finished it?"

To praise him so hard, there must be something going on behind the scenes.

After opening the magic lock of the studio and welcoming in her disciple whom she hadn't seen for more than two months, Celine's heart was filled with joy.

This is really not the right time to promote another branch.

"If the benefits brought are enough, I will not be stingy about modifying the previous profit sharing."

Professor Morian took out two bottles of light brown potion from his magic pocket, handed them to Brand and nodded with a smile:

"Let's talk about the contract share!"

I don’t know if it’s her misunderstanding. I haven’t seen him for more than two months, but I always feel that my disciple seems to have become a lot more handsome!

At this time, Brand looked at his teacher Celine with a "surprised" expression, and then sighed:

Seeing Celine so surprised, Brand felt a little unhappy inside.

Hearing this, Brand was a little excited: "If it's three-quarters, I think I've saved several magic gold coins per bottle."

When Brand said this, Celine felt that her face under the veil was rapidly turning red.

Brand didn't expect that people would also be eyeing this area of ​​interest.

But I heard Celine analyze:

"These three runes cost you a lot of thought, right? Based on your character that hates learning, you would not be so diligent if there was no external force."

It just so happened that he was also planning to discuss future cooperation issues with Professor Morian.

"Then let's talk about the contract. Since Professor Morian entrusted my senior sister to negotiate with me, I think my senior sister also knows the details of the previous contract!"

"Is the research and development successful?"

According to Brand's original plan, the cultivation of coffee beans, the raw material, would be left entirely to Mr. Holland, and Brand was ready to hand over the relevant interests to the Holland family.

When talking about this topic, Brand's face became serious.

Professor Morian nodded:

"It also has the possibility of further optimization, and I already have a clear direction. I found that coffee beans are extremely repellent to magic, which significantly increases the cost of the new version of the awakening potion.

However, meeting your teacher cannot be as casual as meeting Professor Morian.

Brand's serious negotiation made Professor Morian panic, and he quickly stood up, leaving Anna's seat, and then said:

"Next, Anna will negotiate cooperation matters on my behalf. I have to take one step in advance!"

"You make it sound like I'm not going to finish it!"

Brand sighed inwardly. Although they had not been together for a short time, Celine undoubtedly knew him very well.

At the moment, Brand had no intention of hiding anything.

He told his teacher all about the Holander family's marriage plan, the "war letter" given to Mr. Holander, and the new version of the awakening potion.

Brand finally lamented helplessly: “All kinds of things piled up at once, which really made me feel a bit at a loss as to what to do!”
Chapter completed!
