Chapter 21 Alchemy Manual

"Thank you for your gift, Mr. Galandil, I will definitely study your masterpiece carefully!"

Joan took the book with both hands, and bowed deeply to the half-elf doctor again, his gratitude cannot be expressed in words.

When Joan returned home, the excitement could not be calmed down for a long time. He didn't even care about eating, so he lit the oil lamp and looked through the "Introductory Handbook of Alchemy and Pharmacy" given to him by Galandil. Just as he was watching intently, there was the sound of a dog barking outside the window. It was Candy who brought Jamie back from his grandfather.

"I haven't seen your shadow all day, where did you go to play?" Canti couldn't wait to inquire about Joan's whereabouts today as soon as he entered the door.

Qiao An knew that she would ask this question a long time ago, so she wrote down today's brief experience in advance, and silently handed over the letter.

Conti was already familiar with his eccentricity of being able to speak without speaking. He took the letter and looked at it, his eyes lit up.

"Go to the swamp to collect leeches? This is really strange, what good are leeches, and there are still people who pay for them... Well, it seems very interesting, take me with you tomorrow, okay?"

Joan shook his head resolutely, and then wrote at his desk, listing several reasons for not bringing Kandy with him. For example, the environment near the swamp is very harsh, dirty and smelly, and there are many mosquitoes. It is not suitable for a clean girl to stay for a long time. Moreover, he needs to concentrate on catching leeches with the remote control "Mage Hand", so he cannot be distracted from chatting with Kandy, let alone When it comes to playing games, she must be bored. The most important one is that Conti is not good at "Mage Hand" or similar spells, so he can't help much, but wastes the time to do serious things... Although Conti has nothing serious to do at home, he just takes the dog with him every day Going shopping in the town or hunting in the woods, and visiting the little tree Jingmila along the way, life is happy and carefree.

Seeing that he had written a whole sheet of paper and looked very serious, Kanti could only pouted his mouth aggrievedly, and reluctantly agreed to stay in the town. After that, Kandy talked with him for a while, basically she was talking to herself about what she had done today, and Joan just listened silently, tearing a piece of bread and stuffing it into her mouth from time to time. After he had dinner, Canti also finished speaking, yawned and went back to rest.

Joan washed his face with cold water to refresh himself a little, and then followed his usual habits to study spell books. Since the three 0-level spells recorded in the book-Mage Hand, Inner Sight and Freezing Ray-he has already mastered them proficiently, it is enough to spend an hour reviewing the spell-casting gestures and incantations.

Joan finished his homework tonight, and when he closed the spell book, he was still a little bit unsatisfied. He is eager to learn new spells, but unfortunately it is difficult to obtain spell resources in this small town, so he can only try his luck.

Fortunately, in addition to spells, Joan also has a brand new knowledge to study. Open the "Introductory Handbook of Alchemy and Pharmacy", and continue reading from the page just folded.

After the episode of Kandy's visit, Joanne's mood has calmed down at the moment, and he realizes that he owes a lot to Mr. Galandil. This is really uneasy for him who advocates the credo of not asking for help in everything, but he has to accept Galanduil's kindness.

As early as this afternoon, while braving the scorching sun and mosquito bites to salvage leeches in the smelly swamp, Joan realized that he would not be willing to do this kind of humble job all the time. The leeches he worked so hard all day were only enough for Kai. Mr. Randall refines a bottle of potion, and he only needs to work for two hours in a neat potion laboratory. In the end, the profit he gets from selling that bottle of potion far exceeds the commission paid to Joan.

Joan doesn't want to do errands like catching leeches for others all his life. He yearns for Mr. Galandil's way of working. For this reason, he can't be satisfied with earning a few hard-earned money. He has to work hard to learn some new knowledge by himself-only knowledge can change his destiny.

Joan poured a cup of warm water, took out the "Tears of God" and soaked it in the cup for a minute, then took out the "Tears of God", drank the water infused with magic power in one go, and soon felt exhausted all over the body, and changed again. Get energetic.

Qiao An didn't waste the medicine, and raced against time to read, until the early hours of the morning, he read the manual from beginning to end. He also accumulated many questions during the reading process, and he neatly recorded them on the draft paper, planning to go to the clinic tomorrow morning to ask Dr. Kelandil for advice.

Before I knew it, there was the sound of cock crowing outside the window, indicating that dawn was approaching. Joan put away the book and took a brief wash, lying on the bed to relax his tired body and mind, and fell into a dream almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as fish belly appeared in the eastern sky, Bai Qiaoan got up early according to the old habit he had cultivated for many years. After simply having breakfast, he hurried out and arrived at Mr. Galandil's clinic before the church in the small town struck six o'clock.

Joan and Galandil are not talkative people, and they got busy after saying good morning to each other. This was the first time in Joan's life to visit a formal alchemy laboratory, and he was dazzled by all kinds of glass instruments and ceramic crucibles filled with experimental tables.

Dr. Kailandier introduced the main instruments and medicinal materials to him. Since Joan had already read through the introductory manual last night, he had some basics, and had a preliminary impression of the devices and medicinal materials introduced by Galandil. Next, he performed pretty well as an experiment assistant, at least he wouldn’t make a mistake when Kelendiel asked him to pick up a certain instrument.

Galandil was very satisfied with Joan's performance as his assistant on the first day. With the help of this ingenious young man, the work of dispensing medicine, which usually took two hours, was completed in only one and a half hours today. In the following time, while drinking coffee, Galandil listened to Joann's notes on the difficult problems encountered in the self-study process last night, and explained them casually.

Galanduil's eloquence is not very good, but his words are precise and concise, and what's more, he is very patient. He always has to explain it thoroughly to Joan before starting the next question. Joan has never met a real teacher except for his grandfather in these years. Galandil's explanation made him feel the value of having a good teacher, and he felt a little more grateful to the doctor in his heart.

When the church bells rang again, it was time for the Galandil Clinic to open for business. Joan bid farewell to the doctor, walked out of the clinic with the wooden box already covered with damp sawdust, and hurried forward against the rising sun to start a new day of work.

At dusk, Joan returned to the town from the swamp. A total of more than 1,500 leeches were harvested today, and Mr. Kelandil exchanged for 16 shining Kindurga, which enriched his money bag day by day.
