NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 86 "Potions Teacher"
"See? It should be cut into roughly this size. If you cut it into too large pieces, it will take too long to melt the spiritual material, resulting in insufficient fusion; if you cut it too finely, it will cause the melting speed to be too fast. Hurry, it will evaporate before it can be fully mixed." Lin Sirius felt that the base of his back ears was a little hot, and he had to explain while cutting to relieve the embarrassment.
"Hmm..." The blonde girl nodded slightly and bit her lip lightly.
Lin Tianlang glanced to the side, and he had to say that looking at Sherry's side profile from this angle, the lethality was really a bit overwhelming.
Forcing himself to focus on the Five Spiritual Roots, Lin Tianlang exhaled in an attempt to calm his nervous mood. However, this was obviously not that easy. His heart rate had always been above 120, causing his hand holding the knife to tremble a little.
Mad, I’m so nervous! Lin Tianlang roared in his heart. Being alone with such a beautiful girl is already stressful enough, but when you have to have something as exciting as a step-by-step tutorial, your heart can easily become overwhelmed!
"Okay, come and try it." Lin Tianlang cut off one-third of the five spirit roots and left two-thirds for Sherry.
"Hmm..." Sherry nodded slightly, took the knife handed over by Lin Tianlang, and then slowly started cutting.
"Huh -" Lin Tianlang exhaled and took a deep breath.
Damn it, this heart rate can’t be lowered at all!
Sherry cut very carefully, one knife at a time, very slowly. She first cut the remaining five spirit roots into pieces, and then cut each piece into particles. One thing to say, this step is actually very similar to the operation of chopping minced garlic when cooking, and the size is almost the same, but the five spirit roots are far less easy to chop than garlic.
"You learn quickly!" Lin Tianlang said approvingly. Sherry's knife skills are pretty good, unlike some people who hold the knife with one hand because they are afraid of cutting their hands, and throw the other hand without knowing where it is. As a result, things are cut and flying everywhere.
"But it won't work if the speed is too slow? Because we only have ten minutes. If within this time, the Five Spiritual Roots are not completely cut and cannot be added to the crucible, it will also cause the refining to fail." Lin Tianlang reminded One sentence.
Just now he helped Shirley cut a third of it, which took about two minutes. Shirley cut the silk much slower than Lin Sirius. It took her five minutes to cut half of the remaining two-thirds. At this speed, it would be too late.
"I understand." Sherry nodded seriously, then increased the speed of the knife.
"The dosage of Wulinggen is about two hundred grams..." Lin Tianlang said slowly beside him. There are scales on each operating table for students to weigh.
Suddenly remembering that he was Long Xinyu's fighting coach, and now Sherry's potions teacher, Lin Tianlang suddenly realized that he seemed to have a connection with education, so he complained a little in his heart.
"After all, this is your first time, Sherry, so it doesn't matter if you go slower. I didn't ask you to successfully refine the potion in the first time. Didn't Griffin give us a week? This time In fact, it's quite sufficient, you can take your time." Lin Tianlang touched his nose and said.
"If you cut too fast, be careful not to cut... your hand!!!" Lin Tianlang was about to remind Sherry, but before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly opened wide. He watched Sherry cut the thumb of his other hand with a knife, and he didn't even have time to stop.
"Hiss~~~~Ugh..." Shiris frowned her eyebrows, showing a sad and painful expression. A flash of bright red quickly flowed out from the incision on her thumb, and soon dripped onto the operating panel.
"I haven't even finished what I said..." Lin Tianlang held his forehead. The injury was a trivial matter, and a small healing spell could heal it. However, even small healing spells were level 2 magic, and Lin Sirius hadn't learned it yet.
"Wait for me a moment, and I'll see if there's anything I can use to bandage you." Lin Tianlang said to Sherry.
"Well, I understand..." Sherry lowered her head like a well-behaved kitten, seeming a little sad that she had made a mistake.
"Ha, there's no need to be like this, it's just a cut on your hand. Everyone has experienced it." Lin Tianlang comforted with a smile.
"Have classmate Lin Tianlang tried it too?" Sherry raised her head and asked.
"Ah... I have cooked at home before and have a basic knife skills background, so I have never cut anything. You know, once you learn how to use a large knife like a kitchen knife, using a small knife like this is just like playing." Lin Sirius wiped his nose awkwardly.
"But when I first started learning to cook, I must have cut my fingers."
"What kind of knife is a kitchen knife?" Shirley tilted her head.
Phew—this action is a bit cute.
Lin Tianlang moved his gaze aside: "I forgot, your magic world may not have such a thing as a kitchen knife. To put it simply, it is a very large tool that can not only cut, but also chop, and chop. It is quite useful. There are many." Lin Tianlang said while rummaging in the cabinet next to him. Unfortunately, after rummaging around, I couldn't find anything like a bandage or a hemostatic patch.
"Maybe in the magic world, these minor injuries and pains are treated with magic, so there is no need for these things at all." Lin Sirius smiled bitterly. There is no way, after living in the human world for eighteen years, even if you have learned magic in the magical world for a year, you will inevitably still think about problems in the human world habitually when dealing with many things.
For example, if he wanted to light a fire, Lin Tianlang's first reaction was to find a lighter or flint, instead of using a simple fire spell.
"There is nothing we can do. Your wound must be treated. I'll take you to the infirmary first." Lin Tianlang shrugged.
"I know..." Sherry said softly. Blood beads were still coming out of her left thumb, and the whole finger was stained red.
During the Potions class last semester, some people cut their hands during this step, and without exception they were scolded by Griffin. However, it is impossible for Griffin not to know the small healing technique, so the treatment is very simple. Griffin can use magic to solve the problem.
"What should I do with this pot of potion?" Sherry looked at the boiling liquid in the crucible next to her and pursed her lips. During the time I was talking, the eight minutes of boiling had passed, and the color of the potion in the pot had become lighter and lighter. Even if I added the five spirit roots now, it was too late, and the potion was already an irreparable failure.
"That's easy to solve." Lin Tianlang said, then walked forward and said: "#disappearance#!" After the words fell, all the medicine in the crucible disappeared.
The disappearing spell is a very simple first-level spell. You can directly use this spell to disappear some unwanted things. But since it can be turned away, there is naturally a corresponding "Reappearance Technique" to turn it back, but there is a time limit. If the thing is not turned back within an hour, then the thing will disappear forever.
Therefore, this is also a spell that can be used as a prank. Rather than hiding other people's things, it is better to just make them disappear, and then use the Reappearance Technique to restore them to their original state when others are in a hurry, thus achieving the effect of teasing. But be careful, if you accidentally permanently destroy other people's things, you have to think clearly about the consequences.
After cleaning up the waste water in the crucible and packing away the tools, spiritual materials, etc. on the operating table, Lin Sirius took Sherry to the infirmary. But it's a pity that the infirmary and the alchemy room are not in the same building, but are over the teaching building. It's a long way to go, so I can only feel sorry for Sherry first.
Neither of them brought any handkerchiefs or anything like that. Lin Sirius only had a pack of tissues that could barely be used for bandaging. She carefully wrapped two circles of paper towel around Sherry, but the paper towel was soon stained with a touch of red, which looked a bit scary.
"Be patient and go to the infirmary. Miss Ovelina can cure your minor injury in one minute." Lin Sirius comforted you.
"Yes." Sherry nodded slightly, her expression a little uncomfortable. After all, no matter how small the wound is, it still hurts a little.
The two of them actually stayed in the alchemy room for less than half an hour. Now is the time when students are meeting in their dormitories after lunch, and there is a lot of traffic. Lin Tianlang took Sherry to a slightly detoured route to avoid being seen by people in his class and causing any misunderstanding.
Lin Tianlang himself was fine, but it would be bad if those scandals spread and caused trouble to Sherry.
Arriving at the infirmary smoothly, Miss Ovelina did not go anywhere else.
"Miss Ovelina." Lin Sirius opened the door of the infirmary.
"What's the matter?" Ovelina raised her head: "Is it you?"
"Ah, it's me..." Lin Tianlang scratched his head. It was obvious that Miss Ovelina already knew herself.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Are you injured?"
"It's not me, it's my classmate, Shirley." Lin Tianlang said, "She accidentally cut her hand when she was refining the magic potion and cutting the spiritual materials."
"That's it...come here." Miss Ovelina said to Sherry gently. Sherry stepped forward and showed her cut thumb to the school nurse. The tissue used for bandaging was already red, and after taking it off, there were still blood dripping out, and it looked like the cut was not shallow.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this cut is a bit deep, does it hurt?" Ovelina said softly.
Sherry nodded.
"Be patient for a little while, and I'll cure you right away." Miss Ovelina picked up Sherry's hand, and then began to recite the spell: "#HEALING#!"
As the words fell, the radiance of magic lit up, and then Sherry's cut finger began to heal on its own. First, the bleeding was stopped first, and then the cut started to squirm on its own, and then stuck together, as if it had never been cut.
