Looking at the strange yet familiar look in "Christina's" eyes at this moment, the originally wild and confident smile on Aleister's face became much gentler.
"Don't call me master again. You are free. I have fulfilled my promise in the past and given you a broader world."
She reached out and touched " Christina's hair, held her cheeks with both hands, and whispered: "If you can, remember to take more care of Weber. Don't let her be bullied - after gaining my power, it would be too cowardly as before." Ridiculous.
“…but remember, don’t let yourself be wronged. If you are in danger or have trouble that you can't solve by yourself, remember to come to me - we are still friends.
"If you need me, just ask [me] for help."
"Then..."
Alice hesitated for a moment: "I should What did I call you...'brother'?"
When Alice was buried in the foundation, she was still a little girl under ten years old.
For her, Aiwass is indeed considered an older brother at his age.
"Well..."
Aleister's expression was complicated for a moment, but he still smiled gently and said: "Forget it. I already have a lot of sisters. ”
——Knowing clearly that Aiwass is the “correct self”, Aleister is just an afterimage whose days are numbered.
It is undoubtedly correct for Alice to call herself "brother" directly. Even if Alice calls herself "sister", she will take the initiative to correct the other person's name.
After all, the person who rescued her in the first place was Aiwass, not Aleister.
...But at that moment, she still felt an inexplicable loneliness in her heart.
"Just call me..."
Aleister thought for a while, and his expression became more serious: "Just call me...mentor."< /p>
"Mentor!"
Alice responded without hesitation.
And then, her expression changed drastically, showing a hint of cowardice.
Christina murmured: "Mentor...?"
"Christina."
Aleister suddenly called her name.
"...Yes, I am here, my lord!"
Christina said in a panic, fearing to offend the big shot in front of her.
"The same goes for you, just call me tutor."
Aleister said softly: "Go back to your school and continue to study hard - of course, if you can , I suggest you stop learning alchemy. Necromancy would be more suitable for you."
This is Aleister's advice from the bottom of his heart.
Christina does not seem to be the type who is particularly rational and serious. She is obviously not suitable for balance. And Star Antimony Flow Alchemy is even more in demand.The nature of the way to transcendence is also quite difficult for her.
Anyway, if she does not master the power of the Dusk Path, her soul will easily escape... In order to reduce the workload for Alice, it would be a good idea for her to strengthen her necromancy skills. choose.
"Necromancy..."
Christina murmured.
She quickly made up her mind: "I know, mentor. I will do it."
There is no doubt that she regarded this "advice" as a gift from her mentor. Her first mission: She needs to find a way to join the Ziggurat.
"...But, mentor."
Christina looked a little confused: "I have a question..."
"You say."< /p>
Aleister nodded.
"The dress I was wearing... was lent to me by one of my seniors. She was very nice to me, but the dress was broken. If I want to leave Hirsin University, I I hope I can at least return the money for the dress to her..."
After experiencing this hellish night, Christina seemed to have gained some kind of enlightenment. In the past, her vanity, the wealth and luxuries she yearned for, the house and job she worried about, all seemed so vulgar among the truly superior extraordinary people and in front of the extraordinary way... and seemed meaningless.
She vowed that she would never fall again... If she could, she would change herself from this day forward.
【Really? ]
The voice of a cold little girl sounded with an echo from the bottom of her heart.
This startled Christina, but she quickly gritted her teeth and replied in her heart: "It's true! If you don't believe it, just... I mean, if you don't believe it, you can supervise me at any time."
【I will always watch you】
The cold voice seemed to echo in her head.
However, Aleister did not react much to this: "Well, this is what it should be."
Looking at this mysterious eldest lady, she was not interested in this. No, Christina whispered nervously: "So..."
"...So?"
"I, I don't have money...I mean, I don't have any money yet." Money! I will find a way to work and make money later... If possible, I would like to borrow some money from my mentor - if not, I can also borrow it from other friends!"
"How much? ”
Aleister asked rhetorically.
"Well... on the tag I saw before, this skirt costs 120 gold and 8 silver. But it is a relatively popular style. I think there should be some in the secondary market that can cost less than 100 gold. In stock..."
Christina said quickly.
"This is my negligence."
Aleister suddenly realized it and said with some distress: "But I don't have any money with me."
Christina was stunned for a moment, calculating the costThe words were suddenly stuck for a moment.
"Mirror Demon, are you still there?"
Aleister said calmly.
Black smoke rose from the mirror beside her: "I am still here, keeping watch over the soul of my former master. Until his soul returns to the dream world."
It is really too Be cautious.
As long as the previous owner is not completely dead, it will never leave. I'm afraid my boss will show up and call me back to continue working overtime.
"——No need to go to such trouble, I will find someone to help him hold a funeral soon and send his soul away."
Aleister said.
Although she does not have the rank of priest now...
But her true form is now His Majesty the Pope.
One thought can immediately order the local bishop to go to this place to hold a funeral and directly save the count's soul.
"Similarly, do me a favor. Find me some change first and bring it to Christina - no, this is a bit troublesome. Just put it at her house. You should know that she lives in Where?"
"Of course," asked the considerate Mirror Demon secretary, "How much money do I need to put in?"
"Three thousand gold coins should be enough for a while. Time."
"Three thousand——"
Christina blurted out.
The panic in her heart was instantly dispelled - you know, when the count offered her an "almost irresistible price" and asked her to stay with him for a month, he only paid 800 yuan. Just gold coins.
As a first-level alchemist, eight hundred gold coins of alchemical materials are enough for her to advance to the second or even third level.
Even if she could borrow alchemy tools from the school laboratory, she was really short of materials.
The cost of a standard alchemy is close to two gold coins. This money can probably buy seventy or eighty steaks in today's world where prices are rising rapidly.
The first-level alchemist has no direct damage ability at all. According to the instructor's advice, if you want to create the potions needed for the promotion ceremony, you must prepare a complete novice potion set worth at least one hundred and forty gold coins. In this way, she can be regarded as a valuable teammate in the promotion ceremony and will be protected by others.
Even if the most expensive and difficult petrochemical agent is not refined, the rest will still cost more than 60 gold coins.
——Even if all the refining is successful, a promotion ceremony will cost sixty gold coins!
Christina simply cannot afford the materials.
She could only watch others refining, and then imagine that she was refining it in her mind - she called this meditation alchemy. As long as the self-hypnosis is deep enough, she has already practiced it.
... But it turns out that what you imagined is just imagination. She finally bought a set of materials, but in the first round of alchemy she only succeeded in synthesizing two bottles of vitality potions and a can of styptic powder.
Of course, she was in the promotion ceremonyBeing despised.
In an environment where there is a large overflow of alchemists in Xing Antimony, everyone is willing to promote extraordinary people on the path of balance just to get medicine from them. As a result, there is no snake venom ointment, no sobriety potion, and the most critical Featherfall potion that can be refined at the first level - so just for these three bottles of medicine, why don't I find a team of extraordinary people who have dedicated themselves to the path?
Why should I take you?
So Christina got angry.
——You can’t afford it anyway, and even if you combine the potion, you might be taken advantage of or disliked. Even if you form a team, you may be abandoned or betrayed, so it's better to just stop combining medicine.
I just took the exam naked with nothing!
Anyway, the materials for the promotion ceremony are much cheaper than potions, and there is no danger in failing to advance to the first level. If you try a few times, you will always have a chance of getting in.
Maybe you are lucky enough to randomly attend Weizhe's ceremony. Why don't everyone use their extraordinary abilities and use their brains to compete fairly?
