In the library, Sylvia found Sophia hiding in a corner of her reading room, quietly reading books.
I just experienced that kind of thing just now. Anyway, it's impossible to calm down so quickly.
Seaver looked at the girl who was trying to be brave, sighed involuntarily, then adjusted his smile and walked towards her.
"Yo, librarian ~"
the girl's eyes moved from the big book in her hand to Sylvie's face, and then immediately moved back: "if it's to comfort me, I'm fine now."
"I don't have that spare time." Sylvie didn't care about her tone, but went on with a casual look and said, "I just want to ask where the alchemy formula and treatise on antidotes can be found. I'll be useful next class."
"In that case, there should be relevant books on the bookshelves with the heading D in the fifth collection area. I personally recommend" voodoo prescription "and" Roman ramble on mineral and biological poisons "in the" crazy Professor Roman "series. If it's just a general theory, "standard alchemy formula medicament" is also a good choice
Although Sophia seemed a little unhappy, as a librarian, the girl answered SIVI's questions dutifully.
"Are you familiar with all the books in the library?"
Seeing her casually giving out a pile of titles, Sylvie asked curiously, "or have you read all of them?"
"How can I read all the books in the library?" The girl's eyes did not leave the book in her hand, so she casually replied, "except for the forbidden area, I only read about one third of it."
"I've seen so many!" Sylvie was really scared this time. Although she knew that the girl liked to stay in the library, she didn't expect to finish eating so many books. However, he immediately asked suspiciously, "can't we just gobble it up?"
The girl closed her large book with a slap, stood up and looked at SIVI. Then she stood up with her underdeveloped chest and began to recite: "Twelve grams of dried wormwood, twenty-three grams of bezoar, and fifty milliliters of nomaine..."
Although it sounds messy and disorganized at first, SIVI, who also has some knowledge of potions, immediately notices the key point: "wait, is this what you reported..."
"General interpretation of the formula of the medicine." The girl's shaggy pink ponytail cocked up with pride, and the expression on her face said what SIVI had noticed: "it has a good effect on most toxins. Even so, do you think I'm just reading all by myself? "
"Er..." Xiwei was embarrassed. It seems that his unintentional remark provoked the girl: "well, well, I admit that you are erudite and talented."
Sophia glanced at Seaver, sat down again, picked up another book and began to read.
"But if you know this theory so well, why can't you pass the entrance examination?"
Although Seaver didn't intend to ask about the girl at first, but now that the girl's question has been revealed by others, he can't keep turning a blind eye to it: "whatever else, if you don't care about the theory exam, you'll get a good result?"
Sophia seems to be dissatisfied with SIVI's repeated interruptions in her reading, and it's rare that she has planned to forget what happened just now. When she is immersed in the sea of books, he once again brings out the topic. Isn't it that all the books she's reading have changed their flavor!
The girl looked at the innocent Sylvie angrily. They looked at each other for a few seconds. The breath in the girl's cheek puffed out. "Yes, I got full marks in the theory exam for three consecutive years." She simply closed the book and said to SIVI, "but at the same time, my magic practice exam has been failing for three years in a row, so I can only barely hang on the pass line."
Before she heard the girl's words, SIVI kept her mouth shut and waited for her to come.
"I was born in the Langer family, and I have no problem with the affinity of elements, but my magic talent is very bad. The amount of magic that can be stored can't even be maintained by a mage's hand. In this way, no matter how much magic knowledge I have, no matter how much affinity I have for elements, I can't perform any magic other than magic missiles. " Sophia seemed to be talking about other people's affairs. She was very indifferent, but SIVI heard the girl's sadness and pain: "the goddess of seven Yao is really cruel. She gave me the noble name of longer and the excellent affinity of elements, but she did not give me the basis to turn all this into strength. No matter how hard I try, the final result will not change - if there is no magic, even a magician can't be counted as a magician! "
Her former strong shell was completely broken at this time. In Sylvie's eyes, Sophia is no different from a little girl who is wrapped up in a quilt for fear of thunder.
"What are the main uses of Verbena?" Sylvie touched his chin and suddenly asked coldly.
"Remove edema, but also ease the sores caused by magic, in the leech medicine can also be used as an important auxiliary material." The girl, who had seemed a little sad, blurted out immediately. It seemed that she did have a wealth of theoretical knowledge about the potion."Please give the meaning of Rune Luna and at least three major types of enchantment involved."
"Luna comes from the Elvish language, which originally means" quiet moonlight ". It is generally used as the word meaning of" Silence "and" rest "in human's demonology. It is mainly involved in enchantment, such as" magic interruption "," mantra extraction "and" magic recovery ", which are all advanced types of enchantment. You don't have to be able to learn this for three years. Why do you ask? "
"Third, what is the difference between" mammosaurus "and" sea mammosaurus "
"Quadrupeds and marine reptiles, though similar in name, are not the same species at all, OK?"
Then SIVI asked some irrelevant questions one after another. Sophia patiently answered them all and looked at him strangely. "What's the mess you've been asking since just now?"
Instead of answering her head-on, SIVI went to the window and opened it.
As the evening approached, there was already a gentle breeze blowing in from the window with the afterglow of the sunset. The wind of spring has the flavor of sobering people's mind, and stirs Sylvie's robe and hat brim. With a full of fighting spirit, he seriously said the words that people would feel extremely arrogant when they heard him: "I, sooner or later, will establish the world's first Institute of magic and become the world's first Dean."
“…… Are you still dreaming? " Sophia was stunned by what he said: "that sort of thing can't be done."
To be honest, it would not be too surprising if SIVI said she would become a great magician or a legendary wizard. After all, it was the dream of all magicians, and no one would laugh at his dream. What's more, Sylvie does have the dual capital of youth and talent (in their view).
But it's a bit of a dream to set up the world's first magic academy. Besides, the Huolian National School of magic, backed by the state and founded by the legendary master, was just at the top of all the colleges in the eastern plains. It was a certain distance from the top three, not to mention surpassing St. doragon college.
Even if Xi Wei really founded a magic academy with abundant teaching staff and rich resources, the word-of-mouth and so on all depend on time to accumulate. Before you have a certain historical background, no matter how much you talk about your college, there will not be too many students.
This is the reality.
In addition to a few gifted and well-off people, there is an insurmountable distance between the reality and the ideal of ordinary people.
Just like Sophia, in order to pursue her ideal and become a great magician, she decided to come to Huolian college regardless of the result of talent determination. Even though her behavior of running away from home made her not give her a copper in addition to tuition fees, she was still studying hard as a part-time Librarian in the library, relying on the meager subsidies and free meals of the college, and worked hard for three years.
The ridicule and insult of the students who did not know the truth, the kind but hurtful persuasion of the professors, and the results in the final examination that were totally out of proportion to the efforts made by her, did not make her give up hope.
But in the end, it is not success, but a heavy blow to reality. This makes the girl's heart full of depression and confusion about the future - is it really wrong to insist on her ideal? After all, can't human beings jump out of the strange circle that God has designated for itself, which is called talent?
"It's up to me whether I can succeed or not." SIVI held down his hat and turned to the girl with a gentle and firm smile, as if to say that he would never give up his ideal no matter what kind of difficulties he encountered: "before that, Miss Sophia long, would you like to be professor of alchemy in my college?"
“…… What are you talking about? " The girl felt that she had heard something wrong.
"You have passed my test, and your knowledge of alchemy is enough in theory. Come and be the professor of alchemy in my college Sylvie said without hesitation: "anyway, if you don't make it this year, you'll be dropped out of school, right? In this way, I would like to join my college! "
Is that a test
The girl looked at the hopeful Sylvie and lowered her head to think about it.
As time went by, Sylvie didn't mean to urge the girl. He just knocked on the window edge and looked at the mountain city. The color of the western sky became more and more bright.
It was not until the closing time that the girl took a deep breath, looked up at SIVI and made her own answer. (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start( qidian.com )Your support is my biggest motivation to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. )
