Chapter 35: The Treatment in the Potions Department, the Truth, and the Patrol Team's Apology

the other side.

Ian followed behind Vivian, with Victor beside him.

"Thank you, Lady Vivian."

Ian expressed his gratitude.

If Vivian hadn't intervened today, he would have been in real trouble.

"No need to thank me, it was Victor who found you," Vivian said, still aloof, as she turned around.

"teacher?"

Ian turned to look at Victor.

To be honest, he still doesn't know how Vivian knew he was there.

"I was going to congratulate you on joining the Potions Department, but you weren't there. After some investigation, I found out that you had been taken away by the patrol team."

Victor explained.

"Was he really selected?"

Ian's eyes lit up.

Vivian just mentioned it, but that wasn't what he was concerned about at the time.

"Yes, congratulations on joining the Potions Department. However, it will take a few more days before you officially join."

Victor was also all smiles.

"Let me treat your wound first. What happened?" Victor asked, looking at Ian's severed arm.

Vivian also turned her head.

"That's how it is..."

Ian repeated what he had said earlier in the interrogation room.

"I see."

Victor suddenly realized that someone had gone to such great lengths to get into the Potions Department.

"Victor, take Ian to get his wound treated first. The patrol should be able to treat it by tomorrow. Bring Ian to the Potions Department."

Vivian remained calm and strode away.

"Lady Vivian may seem aloof, but she actually cares a lot about her subordinates," Victor said with a smile.

Ian nodded.

Although I haven't joined the Potions Department yet.

But he had already sensed it.

At the same time, he also sensed the status of the core departments, especially the Potions Department, within the academy.

They took the man directly from the patrol team, but none of them dared to say a word.

Soon, Victor took Ian back to his home and quickly treated Ian's broken bone.

It was wrapped in a bandage.

"That's about it. I've applied some ointment, and it should be healed in about a week."

Victor said fluently.

Apothecaries are not just good at concocting potions; they are also skilled at treating injuries.

"You can rest here for a few days. Don't go back home for now. You can choose a different place to live once you're in the department."

"Victor said."

"Okay, can I choose a different house once I enter the department?"

Ian was somewhat surprised.

He had always believed that only second-class wizard apprentices could live in other areas.

"Of course, not all wizards are assigned there. Only those in the core departments are assigned there, usually on one floor, and the area is much larger than yours."

"Victor said."

"What other benefits are there?"

Ian asked curiously, as this was what he was most concerned about.

"You get five magic stones a month, but that's just the basics. There are also magic stones needed to make potions, which you'll learn about later."

As for other things, there are various permissions. For example, with witchcraft, you can only buy six ordinary-level witchcrafts, and three excellent-level witchcrafts, both at a 20% discount. Ordinary witchcrafts are limited to three, and excellent-level witchcrafts to one. Other permissions are usually obtained through tasks or other means.

Magic stones and witchcraft.

This is what Ian cares about most.

Ian smiled when he heard that he could get a 20% discount.

However, I had never bought it before, so I didn't know that even ordinary-level witchcraft was restricted from purchase.

If you want to learn more, you can only complete tasks from various schools of thought to exchange for them, just like the rewards Ian gave you before.

This is also one of the methods used by the school to control wizards.

"Also, the use of laboratories and testing grounds is also discounted by 20%, which is considered a perk. Oh, and if you need to buy potion ingredients and potions, our potion department has internal prices, also at 20% off, but these are for personal use only."

With just a brief explanation, Ian could already sense the difference between the core departments and the ordinary departments.

There is a huge gap between the two, both in terms of resources and permissions.

Not to mention the many differences in details.

Just like in the interrogation room.

Although they are both wizards from the same school, there is a significant difference in their status.

"I'll go to the Potions Department with you tomorrow."

Victor continued.

"Thank you, instructor."

Ian expressed his gratitude.

If it weren't for Victor, he would have been in real trouble today.

.......

In the blink of an eye.

the next day.

Ian and Victor headed to the Potions Department together.

They went straight to Vivian's room.

Vivian wasn't the only one in the room; yesterday's interrogator was also there, standing to the side.

"Lady Vivian."

Victor and Ian bowed together.

Vivian waved her hand, and the interrogator on the side immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Ian.

"The matter is clear now. We audited Harman overnight and discovered that Harman received funding from Ross, amounting to more than one hundred magic stones."

"One hundred magic stones?"

Ian's eyes widened. "They're that rich?"

"We also examined Ross's room and found a letter that was linked to the Blackstone School."

The final conclusion was that he had been turned by the Blackstone School a year ago, and we found items belonging to your fellow apprentices who died six months ago in our house.

He was the wandering wizard from before.

Meanwhile, his purpose in killing you was to get his younger brother into the Potions Department.

At this point, even the examiner felt a little dizzy.

The latter is alright, but the former is a truly serious matter.

A second-rate spy has been lurking for so long and has even murdered a large number of wizards in the academy.

Without a doubt, this was their dereliction of duty.

Ian was also taken aback.

It turns out the Blackstone School has been involved.

So, were Merlin and the others killed because of Ross?

Upon closer reflection, it seems that the incident did indeed occur after Harman joined Rune's trio.

That's dangerous!

Ian suddenly felt a toothache; the school was truly fraught with crisis.

I really need to be more careful from now on.

This incident made him see things for himself.

"What about Harman?" Ian asked curiously about how to deal with Harman.

"He will go to the battlefield as a slave!" the wizard said calmly.

Ian was very satisfied.

Given Harman's strength, he would likely not survive long as a slave on the battlefield.

"I need to be more careful in the future, and at the same time, I need to find a powerful backer."

Ian looked up at Vivian to the side.

Although he didn't know what was going on inside the Potions Department, he had been following Victor, who in turn followed Vivian.

He was clearly Vivian's man.

This boss seems pretty good.

He appears aloof, but he is actually quite protective of his own.

"Ian, my name is Layton Hines, thank you so much this time," the examiner said gratefully.

If it weren't for Ian, who knows how much more trouble Ross would have caused.

Then he took out a bag and handed it to Ian, saying:

"Besides what I can't give you, here are some of Ross's remaining items, which are quite valuable. He used almost all of his magic stones to buy healing potions, but there's also a private thank you note from the patrol team."

Ian looked at Vivian.

"Keep it."

Vivian said calmly.

Ian took the bag.

It was heavy and had a lot of weight; he could even hear the sound of the magic stones colliding.

There are obviously quite a lot of things.

"Then I'll take my leave. Feel free to ask me for help if you need anything in the future."

Layton Hines spoke to Ian, nodded to Vivian, and then left.

"It's not suitable for you to stay here right now. Come back in three days after the assignments are completed."

Vivian saw her off.

"Thank you, sir."

Ian thanked him again.

A while later.

Ian and Victor returned to the house, and in the guest room, Ian took out a bag.

Check the results.
