Chapter 1405.

After completing the relevant formalities and paying the one year’s tuition and material fees, Luo Nan became a member of the fifty-ninth class of trainees at the Royal Family Higher Police Academy. There were more than a hundred other trainees enrolled at the same time as him, all of them coming from places in the Kingdom of Invia.

Luo Nan was the youngest one.

This made him quite eye-catching among the current class of trainees, and he became the subject of many people’s discussions.

There were also people who tried to pull Luo Nan into their own small circle.

However he had no interest in this.

Although the Wang Family Higher Police Academy was not large, the number of regular students studying in it exceeded five hundred, and with the addition of trainees and staff, the total number of students was nearly one thousand.

And within the large circle of the academy, there were many small circles.

And there existed a chain of contempt.

A trainee from the local area like Luo Nan was located at the bottom of this contempt chain.

Luo Nan didn’t have any background or connections, and he didn’t like camping and socializing, plus he was very young, so he was quickly isolated in the circle of trainees.

But Luo Nan didn’t care.

The trainee’s study time at the Royal Higher Police Academy was only one year, and he studied more than ten courses, including detection science, trace science, anthropology, criminal psychology, shooting, fighting ……

Five of these courses are compulsory, and the rest are all elective content, but you need to get enough credits to get a diploma.

This training graduation certificate was extremely important, if the final assessment came out with not enough credits, then the Higher Police Academy would refuse to issue the document and there was no opportunity for a make-up exam.

Luo Nan chose another five elective courses in addition to the five compulsory courses, arranging his daily study schedule to the fullest.

Moreover, he still had to find time to study alchemy at Old Jack’s place, so he didn’t have time to socialize with others!

This led to Luo Nan becoming the other kind of person in the 59th seminar over time.

Many people looked at him with disdain, and even thought that he was very arrogant.

But Luo Nan did as he always did.

His learning speed was extremely fast, and in just one month’s time, he had already mastered all of the five required courses, such as Detective Science, Trace Science, and Criminal Psychology, and had no problem passing the examination.

As for the elective courses, it was even more needless to say, shooting, fighting and so on, Luo Nan 100% could get a perfect score.

So he reduced his time in the academy and put the focus of his studies back to Old Jack.

The alchemy knowledge that the latter possessed was “squeezed” clean!

“There’s nothing more I can teach you.”

One afternoon during Luo Nan’s third month in Ceres, Old Jack said to him with great emotion, “As long as you can produce your first alchemy work, you’re a qualified alchemy apprentice!”

Old Jack had lived for decades and had seen many talented people.

However, he had never seen a person as astonishingly talented as Luo Nan’s side, and he didn’t know how many times he had been ashamed of himself because of Luo Nan’s powerful learning ability during this past period.

In just three months, Luo Nan had mastered the alchemy knowledge that he had painstakingly explored for a lifetime.

The sourness in Old Jack’s heart at the moment really couldn’t be expressed in words!

Of course, before successfully producing a qualified alchemy work, it couldn’t be said that Luo Nan was truly initiated.

“Thank you.”

Luo Nan sincerely expressed his gratitude to Old Jack.

Regardless of his character, at least in terms of teaching alchemy knowledge, the other party had completely honored his promise and treated him without reservation.

“No need to be polite.”

Old Jack waved his hand and said, “If there is a need, this lab of mine can be lent to you for a while.”

Luo Nan thought about it and politely declined, “Thanks, no need for now.”

He wasn’t a caster himself, so naturally it was impossible for him to enter the field of alchemy from a caster’s perspective.

Now that the theoretical knowledge of alchemy had been fully grasped, Luo Nan’s next step needed to experiment with using spiritual energy instead of mana to complete the most important step of alchemy.

And as his spiritual energy was a unique power in this world, it was not suitable for him to exhibit it in Old Jack’s place.

Luo Nan planned to build an alchemy lab on his own.

The configuration would come as needed.

What he didn’t expect was that Old Jack gritted his teeth and said, “Your Excellency Luo Nan, how about this, I’ll transfer this house along with this laboratory, including all the alchemy materials, to you?”

He raised three fingers at Luo Nan, “Thirty thousand, just thirty thousand gold pounds!”

Thirty thousand gold pounds?

This price really wasn’t very expensive.

Luo Nan knew that even though the old harbor area had long since fallen, it was still a part of Celes, and this small villa with a yard was not low in value in itself, not to mention that it had a laboratory with a full set of alchemy equipment attached to it.

The problem was that he didn’t have the need to purchase real estate in the royal capital, in addition to purchasing the required alchemy materials was another big expense.

With no current source of income, spending such a large sum of money was obviously not a wise choice.

But Luo Nan was more concerned about another issue, “You no longer study alchemy?”

You know that alchemy was Old Jack’s lifelong dream and pursuit!

“I decided to give it up.”

Old Jack said bitterly, “You’re the one who let me know that I’m just an ordinary, untalented commoner, and I’m planning to sell everything here and go back to my ancestor’s homeland to end my days.”

The blow Luo Nan had given him was too great.

This former pirate descendant turned around, reached out and pressed his hand on the wall next to him, opening the ledge and pulling out a wooden box from inside.

He opened the lid of the box and took out a thick book.

“This is Legendary Alchemy Master Von. Bryant’s original alchemy notes, the most precious item I own.”

“Giving it to you together!”

Von. Bryant’s Alchemy Notes!

This time Luo Nan was really surprised, never expecting Old Jack to possess such a high-end treasure.

A Legendary Alchemy Master’s Alchemy Notes originally, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a treasure.

One must know that Von Bryant was one of the most outstanding alchemists of all time. Bryant was one of the most outstanding alchemists of all time, and his legendary works such as the Crown of Thorns, Flame of Fury, Soul Chain, and so on, were regarded as national treasures by Invicta.

Legendary masters like Von. Bryant, there must be more than one alchemy notebook passed down.

But every single one of them was priceless – to an alchemist.

Luo Nan had to re-examine Old Jack’s strength.

“This is a relic of my ancestors.”

Old Jack explained, “I’m the only one left in my family, and I don’t have any descendants of my own, so it’s a complete waste to leave this alchemy notebook in my hands.”

“I think only you can bring it back to its glory!”

“Please take good care of it!”

Old Jack solemnly handed Von. Bryant’s alchemy notes into Luo Nan’s hands.

Now Luo Nan could no longer say no and agreed to the deal.

Without a doubt, he had definitely earned a lot.
