134: Chapter 133 Nuclear-Powered Bulls and Horses
After processing most of the Materials, Byron stopped what he was doing and looked at Daphne, who was watching with wide eyes, and asked.
"How was it? Are there any parts you don't understand? If you have no questions, try it yourself."
Upon hearing Byron's words, Daphne nodded vigorously: "Master, I have already asked all my questions. Can I start trying it now?!"
Seeing Daphne's cheeks flushed with excitement, Byron nodded slightly.
"In that case, you may begin. I will not speak or offer any reminders during the process. I will only point out your mistakes after you have finished processing the Materials."
Daphne nodded: "Master, I understand!"
Byron: "Very well, let's begin. Start with the simplest one."
As he spoke, Byron took one of the cheapest twilight herbs from the pile of Materials and handed it to her.
After taking the Materials, Daphne did not rush to start processing them immediately. Instead, she observed them, seemingly contemplating how to proceed in her mind.
Seeing this, Byron nodded inwardly, though he did not say anything.
After examining the twilight herb in her hand several times, Daphne officially began the processing.
Watching Daphne step-by-step peel apart the twilight herb, then slowly remove the useless parts... and finally separate it into portions of roughly equal size.
With that, one portion of the twilight herb Materials was officially processed.
Seeing that Daphne had finished processing the Materials, Byron did not speak immediately. Instead, he first picked up the portions of processed twilight herb powder to examine them.
Seeing this, Daphne looked at Byron nervously, waiting for his evaluation.
Putting down the twilight herb powder in his hand, Byron looked at Daphne with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Daphne's breathing became a bit hurried, her small face turned red, and her eyes began to show shame.
"Daphne, is this really your first time processing Materials? Have you never done this before?"
Upon hearing Byron's question, Daphne shook her head with red eyes: "Master, this is indeed my first time processing Materials. I am sorry, Master, I did not do it well, let you..."
"Not bad, very good. It seems your Aptitude for processing Materials exceeds mine. When I first started processing Materials, I didn't do as well as you."
Before Daphne could finish her sentence, Byron interrupted her.
At the same time, Byron felt a surge of excitement.
The Short, chubby man said that elves were suitable to be assistants for a Potion Master, but Byron had originally thought that was just a sales pitch to sell Daphne to him.
He never expected that Daphne would be so suitable.
This was like finding a treasure! Those two hundred-plus magic stones were well spent!
Once Daphne became familiar with processing Materials, he wouldn't have to waste time doing it himself!
This would significantly improve the efficiency of his Potion Making.
Going a step further, if he taught Daphne some Potionology knowledge, then perhaps most of the work for future Potion Making could be handed over to her.
And he would only need to step in during key steps or more difficult parts, such as improving the purity of the potion...
Just thinking about such a situation made Byron excited.
Upon hearing Byron's words, Daphne opened her small mouth slightly, looking at Byron in disbelief.
"Master, am I really as good as you say?"
Byron was never stingy with his patience and smiles for those who could help him.
Byron smiled and nodded: "I am not exaggerating at all. Although there are still some slight flaws in this processing of Materials, using this to conduct Potion Making would lower the purity of the potion."
"But considering this is your first time processing Materials, it is already very good. Many Wizard Apprentices do not do as well as you on their first time."
Speaking of this, looking at Daphne, who was looking at him with excitement, Byron sighed with emotion.
"It seems it won't be long before you can officially start helping me process the Materials needed for Potion Making."
Daphne nodded excitedly, patting her chest: "Master, please rest assured. I will become proficient as quickly as possible. From now on, leave all the processing of Materials to me!"
Seeing Daphne like this, Byron did not say anything, just smiled and nodded, feeling emotional inside.
Buying Daphne was truly worth it; she is simply an excellent helper!
At this moment, Daphne spoke again: "Master, which parts did I not handle well just now? Please point them out for me, Master. I want to learn quickly and help you!"
Byron would certainly not refuse this request.
He immediately pointed out one by one the mistakes Daphne had made while processing the Materials that would cause the final potion purity to drop.
While Byron was explaining, Daphne widened her eyes and perked up her ears to listen, very seriously.
After explaining the twilight herb, Byron did not stop. He simply taught Daphne the processing methods for some of the other Materials needed for the 'deep meditation potion'.
After finishing the explanation, Byron took out another portion of Materials from the storage area and placed them in front of Daphne.
"Daphne, I have something to take care of and need to go out for a while. You can practice here slowly by yourself. These Materials are for your practice; it doesn't matter if you ruin them."
Hearing Byron's words, Daphne said with a serious little face: "Master, I will be careful, very careful. I will definitely wait until I am confident before processing them. I cannot waste the Materials you bought, Master."
Seeing Daphne's face filled with a serious expression, Byron smiled and nodded: "Very well, I will look forward to it."
Daphne nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not let you down!!!"
Byron nodded, said nothing more, turned around, and walked upwards.
As for Daphne, after waiting for Byron's figure to completely disappear, she turned around, sat back down, and looked seriously at the various Materials placed on the table in front of her.
Leaving the basement and walking to the first floor, Byron suddenly saw Wally standing in the hallway, looking at him expressionlessly.
Seeing Wally, Byron finally realized what had felt wrong from the morning until just now, and where exactly it was wrong.
Both he and Daphne had forgotten about Wally.
Looking at Wally's expressionless gaze, Byron inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
Looking at Wally, Byron feigned calmness and said: "Wally, clean up the Laboratory later, and put yesterday's trash pile on the lawn."
After giving the instructions, Byron turned and walked quickly out of the Laboratory, heading towards Mentor Isolde's experimental spire.
He was going over today to ask for leave from his mentor; for a long time after this, he might not be able to help Colin purchase or process Materials.
As for whether Mentor Isolde would agree, Byron was not worried about that.
To give a very simple example, even he could purchase slaves to help him process Materials and tidy up things; he did not believe that Mentor Isolde, an Official Wizard, would not have any.
Perhaps the Soul slaves under her command could even help her with Potion Making, and she only needed to research new potion formulas.
