Of course, on the surface, Leylin still pretended to be inexperienced, and had a cordial and friendly conversation with this group of apprentices.
After the dance was over and the carriages of all the families had left, in the secret room of the castellan's mansion, Viscount Jackson, whom Leylin had just met today, was talking with his subordinates.
"Is it confirmed?"
"I smell the mystic on him, and, for sure, he is very young!" The person who answered was a man wrapped in a black robe, with a circle of yellow fluff growing on his face.
"He is different from those drunken wizards. He is so young, and it is impossible to retire. Whether it is to avoid the enemy or for other purposes, it is bad news for us!" Jackson's rigid face showed worry.
"Please forgive me! Although our current strength can deal with a mysterious person, if it arouses the resentment of the other group, it will not be worth the loss for us!"
The orc spoke slowly.
"Indeed!" Jackson pondered for a long time, and finally issued an order: "Don't provoke the other party, but don't let the other party out of our control!"
"Understood!" The orc retreated into the darkness...
After the ball, Leylin's other affairs have also progressed very smoothly. First, he bought the previous manor with 4,500 gold coins through Melfield.
Then, through Old Walker's search, Leylin picked a medicine store with a good location but was on the verge of bankruptcy, and signed a purchase contract.
Because of the unexpected enthusiastic speed of the City Lord's Mansion, many procedures were actually completed within a few days.
Of course, Leylin also found some people who were obviously eyeliners wandering around the medicine shop and the manor, but the other party had a good grasp of Leylin's bottom line of patience, and only took some basic precautions, and did not control his hands. Leylin didn't care if he reached out to the people Leylin brought.
After finding a few pharmacists through Melfield and barely getting the medicine business up to standard, Leylin completely let go of the business of the medicine business and devoted himself wholeheartedly to wizard experiments.
The original jazz manor has become more brand-new after some renovations.
The former jazz lived in a three-story white brick attic, and now Leylin unceremoniously requisitioned several of the largest bedrooms.
The largest one is used as the master bedroom, and the two next to it are the study room and the laboratory. They have used a few warning spells obtained from the Black Bone Forest Academy for defense, and have issued strict orders to the servants. Without Leylin's order, anyone would Can't come in.
As for Goring and Fresa, they were arranged near the bedroom as vigilantes.
Fei Lun and some other mercenaries were also assigned tasks to take turns to perform duties around the medicine store and the manor. Leylin also issued a notice announcing that those who work hard can buy a piece of land in the manor after three years and obtain permanent residence. It is also a great incentive for ordinary mercenaries and farmers.
Occasionally, through the window, Leylin could see mercenaries on duty and hardworking farmers.
Because Leylin has been staying in the manor all the time, he rarely even goes to the medicine store except to see Melfeller occasionally, and some titles such as "the kind and lazy manor owner" are already faintly circulating outside.
"Master! The people from the medicine shop are here!" Anna's voice came from behind the door.
"Let them put the things in the living room outside, and ask Goring to move the things to the laboratory!" Leylin knocked on the window with his knuckles, making a dull voice.
"Your will will be carried out!" The voice quickly fell, and it was more of a moving voice.
Ten minutes later, Leylin came to the laboratory beside him.
The originally spacious laboratory was now filled with long wooden tables and boxes. There were no windows around, and only the hanging chandeliers still gave off a dim light.
"Young master! According to your order, the medicine store has already delivered a copy of all the medicinal materials that can be found in the market."
Anna held up her skirt to salute, then turned around and opened a large mahogany box behind her, revealing bundles of plant roots and other medicinal materials that could not be seen in their original form. The yellow note recorded the names of various medicinal materials.
"Also, this is a medicine formula mastered by all ordinary pharmacists, and it only has some effect on ordinary people!"
Anna handed over another stack of dark yellow parchment.
Leylin took it and looked at it, then put the prescription on the long table beside him.
"You go out first! Anna stays here!" Leylin waved at Goring.
Göring bowed and strode out, closing the heavy door.
With a loud bang, the light in the laboratory dimmed even more.
Leylin frowned, and took out a white stone from the package.
His fingers pressed lightly on the stone, and a bright white light radiated from the stone.
This is the sunstone, a general wizard's travel item, which contains a small amount of radiant energy, which can emit bright light for a long time.
It's a pity that there is very little radiant energy, and it only has the effect of point lighting.
"It looks much brighter this way!" Leylin looked around with satisfaction, and said to Anna: "Process the medicinal materials and put them on the test bench in order!"
"Yes!" Anna turned and got busy.
Leylin casually picked up a purple fruit. This fruit was only the size of a thumb. Its surface had completely dried out. There were many wrinkles on the surface, and it was very light.
"According to the medicine book that was recorded just yesterday, this is Walter fruit, a fruit that grows in swamps!"
Leylin pointed a finger on the surface of the fruit: "Chip! Collect information and build a database!"
Now he no longer needs to taste the medicinal materials directly, but can get the characteristics of general materials through contact.
"Ding! Data collection in progress!"
In front of Leylin, the chip projected a light blue light curtain, on which many data were constantly changing.
"Name: Walter Fruit Field: Swamp Effect: Slightly toxic, with paralyzing ingredients recorded!"
The feedback from the chip didn't even take a second.
"Very good, come again!" Leylin picked up another piece of dry plant root.
This is part of the purpose of Leylin's pharmacy. He has been working as an assistant to Teacher Guofat for the past few years, and has recorded all kinds of materials used by pharmacists in the wizarding world on the south coast, and stored them in the database of the chip.
But those are special materials specially cultivated by wizards. For the medicinal materials used by ordinary people, the chip has not recorded them yet, and now it is necessary to make up for this.
In addition, Leylin also obtained two ancient potion formulas from his instructor. If he wants to find alternative materials, he needs to go through countless experiments and consume a lot of precious materials. In this regard, even if Leylin has a chip, it is inevitable .
Even if all the magic stones on Leylin's body were put into this huge consumption, it would be impossible to see the bottom.
But if you use mortal materials instead, you can save a lot of money.
"Although this kind of idea is a bit whimsical, the advantage is that it is affordable and cheap, no matter how many times you can do it, plus the chip's horrible calculation, there is also a little hope!"
Leylin's gaze was firm: "Anyway, no matter how much medicine is consumed, it is the material of ordinary people. As long as you spend a little more gold coins, you can always buy it. It is much better than wasting magic stones!"
As for the investigation mission, Leylin had long forgotten about it.
Anyway, there are still more than two years, as long as the investigation is clear within two years, the task will be considered complete.
Moreover, even if the mission fails, with the teacher Guofat present, at most he will be punished with magic stones by the academy. Leylin is not worried about this at all.
Time passed little by little, and there was silence in the laboratory, only the salsa sound of Anna placing the materials continued.
Two days later, Leylin was the only one left in the laboratory, yet a smile appeared on his face.
"3,217 kinds of materials have been recorded. Is an independent database established?"
The sound of the chip came.
"No! Merge them with some common materials I recorded before, create a database, and name it 'General Materials Encyclopedia'!" Leylin issued an order.
"The database is being established... included in the conjecture model data repository!"
"Okay, the next step is the mixed simulation analysis of various medicinal properties. This is a big project, and some of them cannot be completely simulated and guessed by the chip. Real experimental data need to be collected..."
Leylin thought lightly.
"Master! It's time for dinner!" Anna's voice came softly from outside the door.
"Okay, I'll go out right away!" Work when it's time to work, and rest when it's time to rest. This has always been Leylin's life principle. Things like other wizards doing experiments without sleeping and eating rarely happened to Leylin.
For him, on the journey of pursuing the truth, a proper rest is allowed.
Leylin smiled slightly, tidied up the table, and left the laboratory.
"When I am conducting important experiments, I will hang a sign on the door. No matter how many days I stay inside, you must not disturb me, understand?" Leylin instructed Anna who was serving on the side.
"Obey! Master!"
"Also, what's for dinner?" Leylin came to a room on the side. Although many lords had the habit of dining with their subordinates, it was obviously not in line with wizard customs, so Leylin ate it by himself most of the time.
On a small white round table, there was already a tray with a hemispherical silver plate cover on it.
"It's veal! There's also seaweed soup and apple-strawberry pie!" Anna said softly, and lifted the cover, a strong white air and food aroma filled the air.
"Not bad!" Leylin nodded, and asked Anna to wrap the white napkin around his neck, pick up the knife and fork and start eating.
"Also! Remember to remind me tomorrow, set aside an hour every day for knight training!"
Leylin suddenly thought of something, and said to Anna, he has stimulated his life energy, as a formal knight, with a little training, he can raise several stats to above 3, although Leylin is going to leave the wizard's Roads, but it would be nice to be able to increase attributes.
