I would like to request to assist in your workshop, to learn more about Magic Potion Making.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully lifted her eyes, observing Ron’s reaction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Allen often mentions your achievements, saying you’re the most talented student she has taught. I believe your guidance would be greatly beneficial to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron raised an eyebrow slightly, not responding immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He keenly sensed that there must be a reason behind this sudden request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Black Mist Jungle’s unique environment, he had developed a habit of staying alert to sudden events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you currently studying under Lady Allen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron asked calmly: \"Why do you want to come here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia seemed to have anticipated this question, she sighed lightly, a worry flashed in her eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Allen has limited resources, and both Fina and I can only do basic work. I heard you have your workshop and are conducting more advanced research...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a moment and then added: \"Additionally, I... have some personal reasons for wanting to leave there temporarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron watched her, discreetly using his \"Extraordinary Recognition\" ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various talents were the same as observed at the herb store yesterday; what caught his attention was the peculiar energy fluctuation emanating from the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly the effect of some charm-type magic potion, though its potency was weak, the intent was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman indeed has impure motives...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron understood in his heart but did not expose it, instead, he continued to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any special skills? My workshop already has someone managing daily affairs, and I don’t really need an ordinary assistant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia’s eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but she quickly composed herself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some experience in processing magic potion materials and beginner formulas, though limited, I learn quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, I am proficient in housework and cooking, I studied etiquette and stewardship in a noble family before coming to the Black Mist Jungle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia’s special talent was indeed precious, and if properly cultivated, her potential was boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since he currently needed an apprentice, as someone to receive \"favors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had tried to teach Ailan some mysticism and magic potion knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dryad’s comprehension wasn’t bad, but gave him no feedback of favors, perhaps such favor rules were limited to those within the Wizard System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can temporarily let you help in the workshop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron finally decided: \"But there are certain rules you must follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia’s eyes sparkled with joy, she nodded quickly: \"Of course, Lord Ralph, please instruct me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Firstly, the experimental area in the workshop is off-limits without permission; secondly, everything you see and hear must not be disclosed externally; lastly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s tone became serious: \"I want you to honestly tell me the real reason for coming here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia’s expression stiffened slightly, then she lowered her gaze: \"Actually, I... I’m hiding from someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice turned low, carrying a hint of fear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is an Intermediate Apprentice, Ogg Keynes, and he has been eyeing me. Rumor has it he already has three female slaves, and their fates have been tragic. I don’t want to be the next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron listened expressionlessly, showing no sympathy or anger:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you chose me as a protector?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia nodded lightly, tears in her eyes, this time not feigned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know it’s presumptuous, but your strength and status are enough to deter him. I promise to work hard and not cause you any trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was silent for a moment before finally speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can provide you shelter, but only if you genuinely intend to study and work, not with other motives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilia sighed in relief, nodding quickly: \"Of course, I promise to give it my all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ailan.\" Ron turned to the dryad: \"Take Lilia to the small room in the backyard to settle down, then explain the basic rules of the workshop to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan nodded, her vines swaying gently: \"As you command, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dryad’s mood appeared not very high, her response seemed a tad slower than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>",875,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.887Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f254320b0fba776861a69d29d3a1ae82c1574983a6a80f7a48eaa19b0e86d57","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-178","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-176",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg"]
