Chapter 2 Yilan
Spells are indeed magical and make people yearn for and imagine them endlessly, but Gothe doesn't have much time to feel shocked.
The environment here is extremely poor, it is dark and decayed, there is no ventilation, and it is as silent as a tomb. He just stayed there for a while and felt gloomy.
This is obviously not a place to stay for a long time.
More importantly, he tested the medicine for Master Seda and came back from the dead. Can this matter be resolved as it is?
There is no doubt that the top priority is to escape from this medicine garden.
How to escape?
As Amy said, these apprentices were already branded with tracking marks on the first day they were brought back by Master Seda.
If the tracking mark is not eliminated, there will be no way to escape from the clutches of Master Seda.
Gothe leaned up and sat up slowly, but did not get out of bed. Instead, he leaned against the wall and seriously considered a way to escape from Master Seda's control.
With his current knowledge base, there are only two methods he can think of.
1. Since there is such a spell as a tracking mark, there must be a spell that can remove the tracking mark.
Second, if the problem cannot be solved, get rid of the person who created the problem - Master Seda.
It is easy to say, but more difficult to achieve than to reach the sky.
At least for him at present, this is the case.
The spell is magical, so it is extremely precious.
He is a mage apprentice with no background and is regarded as a "little squirrel". He has only mastered two tricks so far, both of which came from the Seda mage. Where can he learn the spells that can remove the tracking mark?
What's more, learning spells is extremely difficult. Even if he does obtain the corresponding spell, he will never be able to master it in a short period of time.
As for the solution to Master Seda, it is basically impossible.
Mage Seda is a senior mage, and he has mastered many powerful spells.
As for him, he only mastered two tricks, and both of them were not lethal at all.
Gaode thought over and over again several times, but could not think of a solution to his current predicament.
He thought about it for a while, and was about to ask something to Amy, who had just calmed down.
There was movement outside.
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and an apprentice who was obviously much older had already knocked on the door and entered.
He walked hurriedly, looking around the narrow room, and soon his eyes accurately located Gothe, who was half lying on the bed.
"Gothe, Master Seda heard that you woke up and asked you to go see him now!"
Gothe's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and his thoughts were racing, but it was obvious that he did not have the ability to resist Master Seda's order, so he just nodded and said, "Okay."
Gothe did not delay, stood up immediately, and left the room with the apprentice who came to inform the news.
Watching Gothe leave, Amy suddenly realized something.
It seemed that Gothe was a little different after waking up.
But he couldn't tell what exactly was different.
From the room, there is a long and narrow corridor.
The entire corridor is arc-shaped, like a waning moon, with doors at regular intervals on the left and right.
There is a candle lamp on each side of the door, using their weak light and heat to dispel the darkness and coldness in the corridor.
Although the predecessor has lived here for nearly two years, this memory has not been left to Gothe, so he is very unfamiliar with the environment here, and is observing the surroundings calmly at the moment.
The apprentice who came to deliver the message obviously didn't notice Gaode's little move.
In fact, in such a high-risk and depressing environment, how can these apprentices care about others?
So at least Gaode doesn't have to worry about revealing his secrets and being seen as different from before.
Just after arriving in this world, before he could take a breath, he had to face the mysterious Master Seda. It was impossible not to feel pressure in Gothe's heart.
While walking following the apprentice who conveyed the message, he speculated in his mind about the scene when he would meet Master Seda.
At this time.
A door on the left suddenly opened, and a young man with a gloomy expression came out.
Gaode didn't know him.
But he seemed to know Gothe, standing coldly in front of Gothe's path, looking at him with a smile before Gothe spoke.
"Gaode, it seems that you are very lucky. Even the medicine I tried failed to kill you."
Gaode frowned slightly and glanced at him, without saying anything, he turned around and walked away.
It's not that he's afraid of him, it's mainly that he doesn't know this person, and if he really wants to answer the conversation, it's easy to reveal his secret.
Besides, this person looks like he is looking for trouble at first glance. What should he do?
But just as Gothe was about to pass by this person, his shoulder bumped into him maliciously. The force was so strong that Gothe felt as if he had hit a wall, causing him to stagger back a few steps before he stabilized.
“What, Gothe, are you so arrogant now that you don’t bother to talk to me?” The gloomy young man smiled slyly: “You don’t really think that you have some talent and can prepare a basic spider poison potion, which will impress the mage, do you?”
“The mage really values you, so he won’t let you try it. The medicine is over." He looked at Gothe coldly, with a sense of coercion and a bit of condescension, "have you not recognized the reality yet?"
"The Master summoned me, and I was about to see him. Is your matter more important than the Master's?" Gothe asked calmly: "If not, please get out of the way."
The young man's expression suddenly became ugly.
But he quickly regained his composure, then turned slightly, moved out of the way, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was the mage who was looking for you? Okay, okay, go ahead. Don't delay the mage's business."
Gothe glanced at the young man, without saying a word, and walked past him with a cold face.
"Do you think that since this test didn't kill you, I can't do anything to you?"
While passing by the young man, Gothe heard the young man's low threatening words in his ears.
Crunch~
After saying these words, the young man walked back to the room he had just come out from and closed the door.
"Let's hurry up, don't keep the mage waiting impatiently." Faced with the young man's harsh words, Gothe said to the mature apprentice who was leading the way without changing his expression.
The mature apprentice nodded and walked forward. After walking a little further, he couldn't help but said: "Oh, Gothe, you tried the medicine for the mage this time but you didn't die, which means that your life is not destined to die, but you don't always have such good luck. Why do you provoke Yilan? Who doesn't know that he holds a grudge the most."
Gothe's eyes flickered, and it turned out that the young man's name was this.
"Elan?" he asked tentatively.
"Elan is Master Seda's first apprentice. Master Seda still treats him somewhat differently.
He is the only one among us who can freely enter and leave the medicine garden. Although it is to deliver goods for the Master, it is enough to show that he is different from us.
Not to mention anything else, just because there have been countless batches of apprentices in the medicine garden over the years, but he is still safe and sound, this can explain a lot. "
"We can't afford to offend him."
"Why, can he still kill me?" Gothe asked in return.
"Although he doesn't dare to kill you directly, it's still easy to put on small shoes for you."
"Look, if you weren't lucky this time, wouldn't you have been beaten to death by him?" said the old apprentice.
Gothe was stunned for a moment, and then realized where Elan's confidence lies, "Is it because of Master Seda that I was chosen to test the medicine this time?"
"Otherwise, why would you be selected? You are the only one among us who can prepare the primary spider poison potion on your own."
I see.
Gothe looked back at Yilan's closed door, his eyes flickering.
