Chapter 156 Professor Navis
Alger, the guild master of the alchemists' guild in Velissco, provided him with considerable assistance while he was in Velissco.
These days, Jiang Shuzhou has been unable to contact Alger, the high-level alchemist who is always busy with the war and rarely contacts Jiang Shuzhou.
"Young man, I heard you went to Mahabré?"
In the reception room, Alger's image, projected by a projector, asked a question.
"Yes, Chairman Alger."
"Young people are brave and ambitious, which is excellent, but do you have the time right now?"
Is someone trying to contact me?
No wonder you suddenly contacted me.
"Since Chairman Alger asked, then of course there is a time limit."
"If you ask, I will do my best to help you with anything I can."
"Haha, you're too kind. Don't worry, it's a good thing for you."
Alger laughed heartily, appearing quite pleased.
"Have you heard of Master Napamela?"
"That's natural. Master Napamela is a legendary alchemist, and his name is known to everyone."
Jiang Shuzhou nodded.
"Then you should also know that Master Napamela is dedicated to spreading knowledge to everyone, and he hopes that everyone can immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge."
Even now, Alger's face is still full of admiration.
"Master Napamela previously posted his book, 'Spells and Alchemy,' which he had personally compiled, on the forums of those otherworldly people."
I know that; I still have it saved in my system.
"Now, their efforts have paid off, and many people from other worlds have become mages. Dozens of them have already become official mages."
Does this have anything to do with me? Could it be that he discovered my identity as someone from another world?
"That's why Master Napamela felt that our alchemist master-apprentice tradition was somewhat outdated."
"He plans to bring alchemy to the school as well, which is why he volunteered to be on duty."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou understood. Could it be that they were going to open a training course?
That's great. Jiang Shuzhou is willing to pay any price to hear a legendary alchemist give a lecture. After all, a single word from a legend can save him years of detours.
"So, because of my high talent, you recommended me to Master Napamela?"
Jiang Shuzhou asked, his face full of excitement.
"good."
"So, should I go listen to his lecture next?"
"?"
Alger was stunned.
"Cough cough cough, you..."
"He might not have time to give lectures..."
"Is that his apprentice?"
Jiang Shuzhou isn't picky; if all else fails, a teacher from the Holy Domain would be fine too.
"this……"
"Ahem, Navis, being humble and eager to learn is a good thing."
"But is it possible that you are actually the one giving the lecture?"
"?"
Now it was Jiang Shuzhou's turn to be stunned.
"This is just an experiment after all, and we'll have to wait and see how it goes. Besides, the master doesn't take on any disciples."
Wow, I thought I was going there to learn, but it turns out I'm going there to teach and educate people.
"Well... President Alger, you know me well..."
Jiang Shuzhou instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, he had been to school himself, and he knew what students were like.
That kind of anger can really make someone sick.
Besides, Jiang Shuzhou always believed in doing things while talking; he would kill people and talk at the same time, as this was considered a healthy way of doing things.
Once you get to school, won't you only be able to talk and not fight?
"Don't worry, I just have one thing to say."
"There's a library, and you'll be treated like a high-ranking mage, able to browse as much as you want. Want to go?"
"You know me well. I've always loved to teach, and I'm very willing to contribute my own strength to the great cause of spreading knowledge, as Master Napamela does."
Little fox, I knew you wouldn't go if there was no benefit to it.
However, Alger was not dissatisfied. If it were him, he wouldn't want to go either. Perhaps Pamela took this into consideration, which is why she gave him this treatment.
"No rush, I haven't stated my conditions yet."
"What are the requirements? Wasn't it said that only intermediate-level alchemists would be needed?"
"That's because no high-ranking people are willing to go. After all, there's almost no knowledge of the Holy Realm in the library. We can get the high-ranking knowledge by participating in more exchange meetings."
"Who would have nothing better to do than teach students?"
Did you tell the truth?
"First, let's talk about the conditions. Alchemists must master at least three different types of alchemy, and all of them must be at an intermediate level. It would be even better if they could create their own artifacts."
Jiang Shuzhou counted them: potions, runes, and flesh.
He seemed to fit the bill perfectly. He also had mechanical knowledge, but Jiang Shuzhou had never had time to learn it. The three alchemy directions plus magic knowledge had already drained all his energy.
He even had to set aside time each day for cultivation, as well as to review intelligence and handle incidents.
Although time is like water in a sponge, you can always squeeze some out, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't squeeze out a single drop; his sponge was about to dry up.
"As far as I know, you seem to have mastered five."
"There are only three gates there."
Which three gates?
"Potions, runes, flesh and blood."
After listening, Alger fell silent.
"Runeology is a broad category that includes magic circles, magical item crafting, and spell inscription."
"So you should be proficient in five subjects."
Really? I think this rune literature is simple; I figured it's all minor stuff.
No wonder I didn't have enough time; it turns out I learned five alchemy techniques, not three.
Jiang Shuzhou hadn't suspected anything before, because the knowledge of potions was no less extensive and complicated than that of runes, and as for flesh and blood?
Jiang Shuzhou possesses the complete set of knowledge of the Blood and Flesh Gospel, which is even more complex than the runes.
In reality, alchemists also study other areas.
This kind of analogy allows them to make better progress, but unlike Jiang Shuzhou, they won't learn five subjects directly and become proficient in all of them.
This might be because Jiang Shuzhou didn't have a teacher, and no one told him that learning too much was bad, but his talent was terrifying, so he just relied on numerical values to get through it.
Learning five subjects at the same time is indeed difficult, but once mastered, the synergy between them is truly powerful.
For example, the Burrowing Demon Worm, an alchemical creature with spell-like abilities, is usually created by high-level mages.
A mid-level mage absolutely cannot create such a thing unless they simultaneously specialize in runes and the Way of Flesh and Blood, and their mastery of the Way of Flesh and Blood is extremely profound.
"Young people shouldn't underestimate themselves; this is the result of your hard work and accumulated knowledge."
"Looking at your file, you've been studying alchemy for a long time. With such high talent, if you don't succeed, who can?"
Goodness, it sounds like Roland is making another move?
Why has my file been changed again?
Next time, you can say I learned alchemy at one year old, became a formal mage at three, and became a legend at sixteen.
"So, what do you think about my becoming a lecturer at the magic school...?"
"Lecturer? That won't do! A professor, of course!"
