Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 22

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

Licia was just upset and couldn't calm down.

"Your Highness, what can you do?" It was Dimitri again.

He looked like he had just been to the training ground, dressed very thinly, and his hair was still knotted with sweat.

"Tata should have told you." He handed Lycia a roll of brown paper. "Don't be distracted by other things, when you don't have the ability to solve them."

"What is this?" Licia didn't want to talk about it, she focused on the brown paper.

"Familiarize yourself with the list of potions that will be used in the college competition. Go to Teacher Keri tomorrow morning and help her complete the refining of these potions." Dimitri stared at her. "As for your father's matter, I have already asked Troy, and he will arrange for someone to help at the right time."

Licia nodded. "Thank you, Your Highness."

If it weren't for the fact that Dimitri's favorability was only around 15.00%, Licia might have suspected that this awkward prince had fallen in love with her.

But no, he might just regard Licia as his right-hand man in the future.

But it was better this way, Lycia thought to herself, it was better to serve the king than Israel to serve the king.

"Do you know where Teacher Ke Lier is?" Dimitri was trying to give Licia a general direction.

"The wooden house next to the greenhouse." Licia unfolded the kraft paper and glanced at it. There were ten potions in total.

"Oh, little Chancao told me yesterday that there will be a beauty visiting today." Teacher Ke Lier wore a wreath on her head, a white fur coat, and two eyes of different colors that attracted people's attention.

"Ms. Ke Lier, hello, I'm Licia from Thorn College." Before Licia finished introducing herself, she was dragged into the wooden house by the enthusiastic teacher Ke Lier and pressed on the sofa chair.

"You sit for 5 minutes first, and then we start working, shall we?" Teacher Ke Lier opened the corners of her mouth and laughed, her big arms resting on both sides of her chest without moving. Some dazzling.

Teacher Ke Lier suddenly stopped talking, but kept a stiff smile, looking at Lizia for a while, and the clock on the wall for a while.

"Okay, let's go, my dear, let's go to work, and show me the list your prefect gave you."

One second is not more than one second, exactly 5 minutes have passed.

"Shave off the petals of the Lai Xia flower and hand it to me, don't scratch the stamen!"

"Pass me the spoon!"

"Don't touch that Ququ grass!"

"Duo Lan's tubers have to be cut obliquely to produce juice!"

Teacher Ke Lier is like a bomb barrel at work, completely different from the first 8 minutes of meeting.

Lycia was so dominated that she felt less tired than she had been in 17 years.

Does Teacher Ke Lier often do such high-intensity work?

"What is your coat of arms?" After working continuously for four hours, Teacher Ke Lier finally stopped, found a piece of bread and handed it to Licia, and made a pot of tea.

"Let's continue after 45 minutes of rest." Ke Lier returned to her warm and gentle look. "Palaka Ring."

No wonder, the Palaka Ring is the Babaric area, a ring that never stops spinning above the Great Dharma Formation, but this is the first time she has heard that someone has this coat of arms.

"What about you?" Teacher Ke Lier took a sip of the black tea, feeling that it wasn't sweet enough, so she added another spoonful of sugar.

Licia waved her hand to stop the hand adding sugar to her teacup, then brushed up her hair, and showed the teacher the heraldic imprint on her neck. "At present, no one knows what to name it, it is just a flower."

Teacher Ke Lier put down the cup and looked closely at it for a long time.

"The flower of the black thorn, this is actually the flower of the black thorn." Lier's eyes lit up, and she opened the skin of Licia's neck with her fingertips to observe carefully. "I know this kind of flower. In the dark mountains at the source of Bei River, there are black thorns growing in the valleys. The black thorns will bloom in the extreme day. It is the shape of your neck. It can't be wrong."

Coril let go of Licia's neck. "When I was young, I saw it once. At that time, I was still an apprentice in the Dark Mountains. It was so beautiful in full bloom. It made people feel that there was no regret in dying for it at that moment."

The botanical teacher in the college recognized her coat of arms at a glance, but no one had asked her before.

"However, don't tell others that it grows on black thorns. After all, black thorns are an ominous thing." Teacher Ke Lier leaned back on her chair and glanced at the time. "There are still 10 minutes, Licia, you can close your eyes and rest for a while."

"Teacher, so someone asked you about this pattern before, didn't you tell them?" Licia couldn't sleep, and there was nothing to rest for another 10 minutes.

Ke Lier had already closed her strange-colored eyes and shook her head. "No, I'm not obliged to help those ugly bastards answer their questions. Take a break, dear."

After another whole afternoon of busy work, Lizia suppressed her hunger and worked until the sun went down. She never complained of being tired.

Teacher Ke Lier didn't stop until she finished making thirty bottles of ten different potions.

"I'll cook some potato tubers for you while you rest on the couch."

Licia couldn't hold on anymore, she was so hungry that she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Knowing that a hand was gently stroking her cheek. "Little cutie, get up and fill your dry stomach."

"Teacher, can I ask you about the black thorn flower? Because I'm really confused about the power of my coat of arms. I don't even know how to use it. If the time comes..." Licia explained a lot.

Teacher Ke Lier took a sip of the soup and smiled. "Honey, look at you, don't be nervous, I just said that I won't answer ugly questions, but for you, beautiful girl, I will answer every question."

Coril handed Licia a jar of black pepper. "Let's add some seasoning. Well, I don't really know much about black thorn flowers, but my master had secretly studied them before his death."

She got up again and picked a few fruits from the potted plants on the windowsill and handed them to Licia. "From his mouth, I heard a few words to describe the flower of black thorns. Charming, untouchable, and insightful. But he didn't study it clearly until the end. After all, few people in the Thorn Empire have seen it, let alone Not to mention being able to pluck a black thorn flower."

Teacher Ke Lier looked at Licia and smiled. "Why don't you go to the Dark Mountains and see it for yourself?"

"Ji day, it appears too unstable." Licia also wanted to see that flower.

"No, soon, the next polar day will come soon." Teacher Ke Lier's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness. "And at that time, I don't know if my Ring of Palaka will be taken away because of the chaos."

Licia looked at her incredulously. "What confusion, teacher?"

"The Ring of Palaka belongs to me." Kelier showed a coquettish expression on her face, and did not answer Licia's question. "Okay, you're done eating, my dear, it's time to go back and rest, take thirty bottles of potions on your back, tell Dimitri, promise me the materials, and gather them as soon as possible."

Licia was pushed out of the cabin.

Ke Lier had the same smile on her face as when she first saw her. "You are very hardworking and smart. If you need anything in the future, come and help me brew the potion and take care of the plants, and then I will repay you."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Ke Lier." After receiving such words, Licia felt that today's hard work was not in vain.
