Chapter 8 The Top of Alchemy (2)

Because the time to wait for the island republic to raise supplies was boring, Ella is now wandering around the capital of the island republic.

The capital of the Island Republic is not big, and Ella took a boat and only took half a day to visit most famous attractions.

During this period, she heard that a nobleman in the Island Republic was looking for a famous doctor to treat his illness at a high price of 100 Nomisma. Ella had read some books on herbs and wanted to try it, but was caught by Amy.

"Your Majesty is not a professional doctor. If you cure a person, you will have to pay for it." Amy persuaded Ella.

Ella thinks Amy is right.

So she came to visit this alchemy university instead.

This is also a place Ella thought to visit before landing on the island. The Seven Hills Empire banned alchemy, and she was the only one who had knowledge of alchemy in the Pirate Kingdom. She learned a lot from the alchemy works left to her by Jabir, and now she urgently needs to communicate with her colleagues.

"Your Majesty! Even if you love the truth more, you don't have to run so fast!"

Amy held a food plate full of food in her hand, following Ella tightly while sweating profusely maintaining the balance of the food plate.

"You can sit a little further and eavesdrop on the alchemist's lecture while having lunch! Look at the alchemist's reaction, as long as you say you are eating, you won't dare to drive you away!"

"There is no need for this! This is just a group of newly enrolled students exchanging experiences. I have read the alchemy books left to me by Jabir, which is just an entry-level content!"

"Don't your majesty need to learn introductory content?"

"Amy, you underestimate me too much! Although I just learned by myself according to Jabir's book, my alchemy level is enough to let me skip the introductory and junior courses and directly study the intermediate class! I have many questions that I want the teachers in the intermediate class to answer for me!"

"I can't see it at all! Every time His Majesty enters the alchemy laboratory three times, there will be an accident. If I hadn't been Loki's protection, His Majesty's palace would have been burned by His Majesty!"

“Gu…”

Ella was obviously unable to refute Amy's doubts.

"When you meet the teacher later, your Majesty should be more modest! I have heard that the pass rate of the entrance examination in this university is less than one percent! If the teacher thinks you are arrogant and deliberately ask for more difficult questions to make things difficult for you, it will be difficult!"

"Okay, OK..."

The hundred pirates followed Ella and Amy, and in the blink of an eye surrounded the committee's office building. Ella ran all the way to the office, sorted out her demeanor at the door, and then knocked on the door gently.

A much louder shout came from the office than Ella's knocking on the door: "I really don't have money now! The Island Republic has stopped issuing my allowance for three months! I can't afford it whether it is the material fee, the wine money, or the service fee of the Aphrodite House! If you want the money, just tear down the door of this building and sell it! Anyway, this door is not my family's!"

"Aphrodite House? What is that? Is that the Magicians Association? Amy, do you want to attend too - pain! Amy, why do you step on me?"

Amy ignored Ella's stupid speech, cleared her throat, and replied for Ella: "Teacher, we are here to enter the school."

The shouts from the office were even louder: "Don't lie! I don't have windows here! Look at the people you brought, not only wearing armor, but also carrying axes! You are business aristocrats! Let's talk about which one of them are they from?"

"This..." Amy was a little overwhelmed, "We are from Sweden... Your Majesty, why don't we let the guards leave in a while?"

The door suddenly opened, and a thin old man walked out of it, rubbing his hands in front of Ella and Amy with a smile on his face: "I heard of you! A few days ago, you and a group of people landed in the Island Republic, which made the city full of storms!"

As he said that, the little old man narrowed his eyes, first looked in front of Amy for a while, shook his head. Then he looked in front of Ella for a while, nodded, and then continued: "This size should be the legendary Swedish pirate king. Why, are you also interested in Hermes' skills?"

Ella didn't care about the meaning of "size and size" in the old man's words. Her desire for knowledge made her answer: "That's right! Teacher, I encountered many difficulties when I was studying alchemy myself. I wanted to find the teacher to answer my doubts, and I wanted to listen to the intermediate level of alchemy..." Speaking of this, Ella suddenly remembered Amy's advice and quickly changed her words and said: "Or maybe it's a junior course?"

Ella studied alchemy behind closed doors according to the books Jabir left to her, and had no communication with the current alchemy academic community. She could not accurately measure her current alchemy level, for fear that the teacher's questions would be difficult and that she would not be able to pass the entrance test.

"There is no difference between the primary and intermediate courses in our school, only the difference between schools. However, having such a noble guest comes to learn alchemy in person, that is a great joy for the whole school-" The old man suddenly remembered something, and took a step back and looked at Ella cautiously: "You will pay the tuition every year, right?"

The 500misma is a full two-year income for ordinary farmers in the Pirate Kingdom, and for the lower-class citizens of the relatively wealthy commercial republic of Liguria, the Republic of Liguria. This may seem to discourage many students, but in fact, alchemy itself is a money-spending skill. In addition to the alchemy laboratory that must be built, the alchemist also needs to continuously invest money in the materials required for the experiment. Therefore, those who are capable of conducting alchemy research will not be discouraged by the 500misma, except for those like Habiba who intends to alchemy with feces. He is not a professional alchemist and cannot pass the entrance test at all.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! You should know that the admission test pass rate of this university is less than one percent.

Ella is a pirate, and her identity is rejected by the alchemist group. Under normal circumstances, she will immediately receive a test question that deliberately makes things difficult for her, and then be driven out of college like a fly.

But recently, the situation at Alchemy University has changed a little. The previous fire burned Paracelsus' reputation and also burned the rest of the alchemists. You should know that the rumor that "Hermes left the truth" is actually saying that all other papers are useless waste paper. The Governor of the Island Republic has sent a commissioner to investigate teachers and students of Alchemy University, and the allowance for university mentors has been suspended for more than three months. In this environment, the number of students who want to enroll is also significantly reduced, and Ella and Amy are the only ones in three months.

Rather than examining whether Ella is eligible to enter the university, the committee members are more concerned about whether they can receive tuition fees from them.

Seeing that Ella was not shaken by the number of Nomisma, the old man felt relieved and continued, "It's great. Come on, No, No, no, no, right, right, I will be expelled from the committee!"

The old man shook his hand and slapped himself in the face, then turned around the office. While he was spinning around, he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "What should I do? What should I do? How could this pirate barbarian pass the school entrance test? But if he couldn't pass, he wouldn't be able to accept the five Nomisma... Ah, by the way, there is!"

The little old man suddenly clapped his hands hard, then rushed to Ella and Amy: "Come with me and go for the entrance test!"

Ella and Amy were stunned by the shock of the old man. The old man walked out of the room and they followed him blankly. Halfway through, Ella remembered to ask, "Well, teacher, what is the entrance test?"

"What do you want to ask this? We need to have a flexible bottom line - ah, we need to have an open academic atmosphere! No one can refine the philosopher stone yet. Who knows that school is correct? Who is qualified to judge the alchemy level of others? King of Sweden, are you right?"

"Hmm? Well? Big, probably right?"

Ella felt even more dizzy.

The little old man took Ella and Amy through a series of smokey rooms, and finally arrived at a gate at the bottom of the corridor that looked a little old.

"The other alchemy laboratories have been occupied by the mentors, and there is only this one left at the moment. You can use it as you like!"

Seeing the little old man turning around and leaving, Amy couldn't help asking again: "So, teacher, what exactly is the test question?"

"Everyone said, we need to have an open academic atmosphere! In short, just mix these materials together to create something new! It's very simple, can it be done, right?"

"What's new... specifically?"

"Don't you understand? You see those solutions, metals, etc., and you can mix them together and heat them up. If you really don't understand, you can pass if you can get rid of some metal - by the way, I can't tell you or be present according to the regulations."

The little old man shook his hand and slapped himself.

"After completing it, just look for me in the office. I will go to the warehouse to find out if there are any new school uniforms and medals!"
