Chapter 311

"You have indeed changed a bit, but how much time did you spend researching this..."

Liz seemed to want to ask something, but stopped talking.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing... Since Leah has reached the point where she can make a unique breakthrough, then..."

"Hmm?"

Seeing that Liz was keeping things a secret, Leah went around to the back of the forest and grabbed a person out of the bushes.

"What is this..."

Liz grabbed a witch who was about the same height as her, but with red hair, and pulled down her magic hat, and seemed particularly shy.

"Hello... Teacher Leah..."

"In short, she is the daughter of my third cousin. I will give her to you as an apprentice for the time being, right? After all... I always feel that you seem to be particularly short of a student?"

Liz introduced the identity of the visitor very simply.

"In fact, among witches, if their own children happen not to want to learn their magic... then it is a good method to give them to acquaintances for training."

The moment Leah saw her, she subconsciously took two steps back.

Student... student... student...

Hearing this word, her hand holding the staff began to tremble.

Following her student...

Following her student who has been busy all the time...

Following her student who successfully brought her out of such a bad state and made her study until now...

"No, no... I don't think I need to..."

Before she even asked clearly what the student's identity was and what he wanted to learn, her mouth had already refused on her behalf.

"You are not allowed to refuse."

Liz interrupted her directly.

"But..."

"Since you are back, just like every witch, forget... forget your life outside and start over."

Before Liz finished her words, the slightly shy witch took a step forward.

Her voice sounded a little nervous and trembling.

"Hello... Hello, Lia... Teacher Lia..."

Hearing this address, Lia swallowed her saliva.

She always thinks of some... some...

Recently, she wants to cover up with busyness, and every time she thinks of it before going to sleep at night, she always wakes up with a twitching heart.

"You can call me... Meilin."

Chapter 345 "Did the teacher have a student before?" (3k)

Liya looked at the "child" that her mother "sent" to her.

"Meilin..."

Witches' names are usually chosen from common names. However, there was also a famous witch with this name in history, who also studied the magic of "The Candle of Creation".

But, Meilin in front of her did look a little timid, slowly following behind her, without saying a word, looking particularly well-behaved.

Her red hair looked carefully groomed. Although it was draped, the broken hair on her forehead and back of her head were tied into small braids.

Her height was not much different from hers - but it was normal. I don't know why, the figure of witches always stays at this time, and only a very small number of witches can grow into the appearance of normal 17 or 18-year-old humans.

Although they look like children, the physical fitness and magic quality of witches are definitely at the level of adults!

She...

She couldn't just treat Meilin in front of her as a child. She might be over fifty years old...

"Here. Teacher Leah, what do you want to ask me?"

Liya just muttered her name, and she raised her head obediently and looked at Leah with her red glasses - witch's eyes.

Really, except for the name with the suffix of teacher, it doesn't look like her at all.

If it was that guy, he probably wouldn't look at her so obediently when calling his name. He would come over and say "If Teacher Leah has anything to tell me, just say it"...

"Nothing. Although I did accomplish something just now, but... I don't think I can necessarily give you anything..."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I walk into the laboratory and see how the teacher conducts experiments, I will definitely learn something."

"What are you... a fully automatic good student."

Liya sighed, and although she was a little reluctant, she still let Meilin enter the laboratory.

Every witch's laboratory is relatively "private". After all, the essence of magic that she has studied for a lifetime may be concentrated in this laboratory, and she will definitely not want others to come in and observe casually.

Except for "students" and "relatives", this place almost represents all the privacy of a witch.

"The laboratory... is not lit?"

After receiving Leah's invitation, Merlin looked inside the laboratory first, then carefully stepped out with a foot wearing brown leather shoes and walked in.

She was extremely cautious.

At least not in this respect. When he first entered the laboratory, the guy basically walked in straight away.

No... not right.

Leah shook her head.

She shouldn't... can't always look for Will's shadow on others - even if they are also students. Even if he is... the first student and the only student, it shouldn't be like this.

After all, there is no way back to the past.

There is no future after that...

"The experiment just now should minimize the heat source brought by the light source to ensure that the calculated temperature is consistent with the experimental temperature, so the light is not turned on..."

"Is this... the task that Teacher Leah set for me to complete? It's amazing. I have to research wax oil in just a few days..."

In a blink of an eye, Meilin seemed to be "visiting" the laboratory and walked to the laboratory table where Leah was writing notes and organizing things - that is, the table with the note of Will's task.

"That... that can't be seen!"

"Huh? But... this is... a very ordinary task, right? And Teacher Leah also ticked it."

"This... this..."

Liya suddenly realized.

For outsiders who know nothing, the note posted here will not be associated with... it will be associated with a "future task" left by someone she likes - such a strange thing.

It looks like just an ordinary task, most likely written by her for herself.

"Yes... yes. It's my own task."

"So, the next task for Teacher Leah is... 505, try to assemble candle wax and wick?"

"Yes."

"It doesn't sound that difficult... Can I join?"

She held up her staff, eager to try in front of Leah.

Leah seemed to realize that Merlin was not completely different from him, for example, in terms of curiosity and initiative...

She seemed to have some similarities with him.

Liz asked her to accept a student at this time because she saw that Will did not come back with her. Did something happen between them?

So...

She, as a "mother", wanted to force a "student" on herself?

According to what Liz meant, according to what Liz often said before, she should not want to be influenced by a mere "human" for too long, so...so she wants to start over, right?

But...but what Liz didn't know was...

Liya looked at Merlin's back standing in front of the experimental table.

In her eyes, the red hair gradually turned into short brown hair, standing in front of the coal lamp, just like every night, when she couldn't hold on and went to bed for a while, she opened her eyes and saw Will, who was very good at staying up late, still facing the scene of the experimental table.

Leah thought, subconsciously pulled down the sleeve of her right hand, covering the traces left when the blood-colored peppermint essential oil was injected into the sleeve.

Liz didn't know that she couldn't go back.

"First we have to cool it down, right? Teacher Leah?"

Her thoughts were interrupted by Miss Meilin, who pointed curiously at the wax oil that had just been refined behind Leah.

"Yes. But this is still experimental. The total amount refined is not enough, and it should be less after removing the impurities..."

"I understand, we have to refine enough before starting, right? Yes, it seems to be a safer way."

"That's right."

Wait a minute...

When Leah agreed, she noticed that her initial "resistance" and "rejection" to a new student gradually disappeared. Now she can actually communicate with Meilin as a student very naturally.

She originally thought that she would not only reject students after Will, but also reject the idea of ​​accepting students.

After all, before Will, she didn't even want to accept any students.

"Well, let's get started. Judging from the time, it may be the next two or three days of work."

This period of time passed quickly.

Leah stared at the note of the task, and looked at the ice spirit horse liver that slid up from her laboratory table and rolled down as a formed wax block, and felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Merlin was very good as a "student"... no, even as a "helper". Even Leah didn't expect that she didn't teach her how to do it every time she gave an order, but she got the hang of it quickly.

Whether it was preheating the laboratory table, cleaning the magic shield, or using simple flame magic to keep warm.

She did it very well.

Day by day, Leah almost didn't talk to Merlin at the beginning, but occasionally talked to her about the extent of her research on magic and what she had encountered in the human school before - these seemed to be the most common after-school topics for a teacher.

However, she only...

She only did not mention that she had a student.

The whole story about Will, especially the memories that occupied her for the past three long years, and the deepest memories in her long one hundred years...

"Well, it was once in the laboratory..."

--She would stop like this, before she was about to say his name "naturally".

"No, nothing. I encountered some minor troubles in the laboratory, and then I suddenly thought of a solution...that's all."

--Just like this, skip his part.

Because, Leah couldn't say it.

She thought that under the influence of Will, she would no longer "deny" or subconsciously "avoid" facing the feelings of interacting and contacting with people, but when she was about to say his name, the pain in her heart would still choke her words.

"Well. It was an interesting experience... Let's continue, Teacher Leah."

...

Having a helper is different from having no helper at all.

Liya found that the progress of the experiment was about twice as fast as she expected. The two of them quickly made enough materials for the next round of experiments.

From the task point of view, it should be a very simple assembly task. However, because the materials of the wick and the wax block are very special, more data experiments may be needed to find the best method. And how to burn the newly produced wax blocks is also particular.

"Let's stop here today."

Liya rarely proposed "rest" first.

"Well. Then Teacher Leah, I'll go back first."

Speaking of which, she didn't seem to know where Meilin lived. It seemed that she lived in the witch's nest, and every time she was only responsible for sending her out of the laboratory door-she didn't need Leah to send her one step forward.
