At night, in the alchemy workshop 20 meters underground in Dalaran East District, hundreds of apprentices aged between 10 and 15 are trying to make all kinds of low-level potions and magic props under the leadership of their mentors.

Some of the senior apprentices already have quite skilled skills, and began to use these skills to earn a lot of gold coins for themselves to make up for the massive consumption in the process of learning magic.

You know, except for a very few wealthy businessmen, princes and princes, even aristocrats can't afford the geometric growth of terrorist tuition fees, so most apprentices complete their studies in part-time work and study, and finally become a qualified mage.

To some extent, the apprentices have accumulated valuable experience in this process, and the kenrito Council can earn the price difference and maintain daily expenses by selling the low-grade potions and magic props made by these apprentices. It's a win-win situation.

Of course, the income of apprentices can't be compared with that of mages. On the one hand, they can't buy raw materials at a low price. On the other hand, part of every gold coin they earn will flow into the pocket of the tutor.

As for how much this part is, it depends on how dark the tutor's heart is, at least one-third, or more than half. Anyway, before they become a recognized official mage, they all belong to the squeezed little people.

But all this is not a problem for Jenny, who is quiet and introverted.

Because old George almost did his best to support his little daughter for the rise of the family, her monthly living expenses were almost six times that of an apprentice in the same period.

In addition, due to living with Zhang Cheng, many people mistakenly think that the girl is the former's lover, so jebez, an old mage in his early 60s, never bothered her.

Although she sometimes wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly, recalling her father's instructions before leaving, she forced her patience and allowed the rumors to spread more and more widely. Even many female apprentices who boasted of being beautiful asked her how to seduce a powerful senior monk.

After all, age limit has never been a stumbling block to love and desire in Azeroth.

Don't you see that when Jaina was a green Lori in the past, kelsas, who was thousands of years old, still resolutely joined the ranks of his suitors. According to the legal and moral standards on earth, the death house and Lori control like him definitely belong to the category of three-year start and the highest death penalty.

But actually?

Instead of showing rejection or disgust, ordinary people feel very romantic. It is simply the most classic love story between Prince and princess in fairy tales.

Unfortunately, the beautiful princess did not choose the handsome and elegant elf prince, but chose a somewhat arrogant human prince Arthas minehill.

In fact, in the human kingdom, the combination of young girls, middle-aged uncles and even white haired old men is very common, especially aristocrats who pay attention to blood lineage.

As for the peach news between master Dalaran and apprentices, more than half of the attractive male and female apprentices wish they could climb onto the mentor's bed and exchange their youth for infinite knowledge and strength.

Just as Jenny kept recalling the embarrassing pictures not long ago in her mind, the gray haired old mage jebez suddenly said, "you put too much silver leaf grass!"

"Ah!" like a frightened little rabbit, the girl threw the silver leaf grass powder in her hand into the beaker.

moment

The potion, which was still smoking, suddenly became turbid and gave off a choking pungent smell.

Needless to ask, this bottle of magic potion is completely scrapped.

Frustrated, she quickly lowered her head and explained in a stammering tone: "yes... Sorry, mentor, I'm distracted."

"Remember, you are an apprentice now. You should strictly abide by your duties as an apprentice and don't think about anything else while learning alchemy." Jabez scolded loudly with a beard and eyes.

"Sorry..." the girl who is not good at words just keeps her head down and apologizes.

"Oh, forget it, go get another material and start again." the old mage waved his big hand to clean up the turbid liquid in the beaker, and shook his head helplessly.

He didn't understand what was so good about this clumsy little guy that he could get the favor of a senior member of the kenrito Parliament.

Seeing the tutor's back away, Jenny was a little relieved and planned to turn to the material warehouse behind to get a silver leaf grass powder again.

But before taking a step, a 17-year-old girl with black hair and black eyes suddenly hugged her from behind, squeezed her hard at the beginning of the bulge on her chest, whispered and joked, "Wow! Our lovely little Jenny is becoming more and more attractive. I heard that the one in your family came back? How about, did he love you well?"

"Damn it! Zenobia, how many times have I said that Mr. mage just gave me shelter according to my father's request, and nothing happened between us." Jenny broke off two mischievous hands and rolled her eyes angrily.

Obviously, they have known each other for a long time, and they are still good friends.

"Hey, hey! Just kidding. I know you're still a pure girl who blushes even when you see others kissing. But seriously, did you mention the last time I asked you?" the girl called Zenobia blinked her eyes playfully.

"Sorry, there was an accident at home just now. I haven't had time to mention it." Jenny's white face turned red again.

"Oh! What happened?" Zenobia showed a gossip expression.

But before Jenny could answer, a strange figure suddenly appeared under the stairs at the entrance.

"First... Sir, why are you here?" Jenny left her only friend in Dalaran and quickly came close and bowed.

It was none other than Zhang Cheng who had just taken a bath and changed his clothes.

He first glanced at Zenobia, who looked a little flustered, and then smiled and asked, "who's that?"

"Zenobia! She was my friend and helped me a lot when she first became an apprentice," Jenny replied carefully.

"Hello, master, my full name is Zenobia eblock. It's a great honor to meet you." the girl bent down and made a standard aristocratic ceremony.

"Who are you, Duke elroe eblock?" Zhang Cheng felt his chin and said with interest.

"He is my uncle and Altea is my cousin." Zenobia gave the answer without thinking.

Zhang chengruo nodded thoughtfully: "I see. You are an aristocrat in the storm kingdom. Can you tell me what you asked Jenny to do? It doesn't happen to have something to do with me..."
