Above the mage!

Chapter 19 The Power of Spells
"The three major principles of a mage?" Gao De's heart moved when he heard this unfamiliar term, and he secretly memorized this principle in his heart.

"It was Yilan who said that he was told by Master Seda," Amy explained, "but he only said this one thing. He didn't mention the other two."

"Why is Yilan telling you this?"

"Also, since 'never let others know your spells' is one of the three major rules of a mage, how could Master Seda let you know his spells?"

Gao De frowned slightly and asked inconspicuously.

Hearing Goder's question, Amy understood what Goder meant and quickly explained, "Yilan once said this to us in the restaurant in order to show off his status as a true apprentice of Master Seda."

"You weren't in the restaurant at the time, so you didn't hear it."

"That's true. Master Seda never told us about the three great principles of mages. If Yilan hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about it."

"As for Master Seda's spells, do you remember that half a year ago when Master Seda asked Neo to test the medicine, Neo was scared and wanted to run away?
He was running to the backyard, and I was there at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that Master Seda just reached out and touched Neo, and Neo collapsed to the ground. "

"If the spell can be effective without physical contact, why would Master Seda bother doing that?" Amy pursed her lips and said with certainty.

"So." Gao De thought.

What Amy said made sense, and he believed it in his heart.

At the same time, he thought of the first day he came to this world and experienced the magic of Master Seda.

That hand that could bring him so much pain still makes Gao De feel frightened when he thinks about it.

"It seems that Master Seda has at least two spells that require contact to take effect.
Therefore, if it really comes to the last step and we have to face him, the first thing we should do is to avoid physical contact with him as much as possible." Gao De secretly paid attention, and his thoughts began to spread.

"Besides avoiding it, is it possible to take advantage of it?"

"I understand. Go to bed early. You still have to work tomorrow." Gao De said softly while thinking.

Amy didn't get the response she expected from Goder. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only remain silent.

Soon, the sound of Godel's steady breathing after he fell asleep could be heard in the room.

The next day, afternoon.

After finishing the preparation of the primary spider venom potion early, Goder left the workshop and went to the commercial district of Hogan City for the third time.

He did not notice that three pairs of eyes lit up at the same time in the shadows of the trees opposite the medicine garden gate.

The owners of the eyes were three thin but strong men.

Everyone was unkempt, with wine stains on their messy beards, greasy and tangled hair, and oil stains on their clothes that couldn't be washed off.

This is the physical appearance of the lower class people.

The three men all had cunning and aggressive looks in their eyes, and were obviously not good people.

After the three of them watched Gao De walk away, they began to discuss in low voices.

"Boss, is that him?" asked the man with the darkest skin.

"It's him. I've asked around. The old wizard at Seda Medicine Garden rarely goes out. Whether it's selling potions or buying raw materials, he always asks his apprentices to do it for him.

It’s just that the person in charge of this was an older apprentice before, but recently this kid took over.”

The man called the boss spoke, his voice a little sharp, which did not match the fierceness of his eyes, but instead sounded a little like a rooster.

"Good news. This kid doesn't look very old. He will definitely be easier to deal with."

"But he is a wizard's apprentice and knows magic." The shortest man among the three hesitated, "Should we really do it?"

"If it's the old wizard we do have to be wary of, but why should we worry about a little kid like this?"

"A wizard apprentice of this age won't have much combat power. At most, he can master one or two tricks."

"And it's most likely a magic trick like the Mage's Hand that doesn't have any lethal power. The three of us have worked in the mine for so many years, and we're all strong. How could we not be able to take down a little bastard like this?"

Among the 0-level spells, the Mage's Hand can be said to be the most well-known and representative trick. It is also basically a spell that every mage apprentice must learn and the first spell to master.

So even many people who are not mages know this spell.

"Third brother, you are still too timid." The second brother echoed the elder brother.

"This kid didn't bring a package this time, so he didn't go to sell potions, but to buy raw materials for the old wizard." The man called the boss spoke again. "I also asked, the old wizard seems to have been researching a high-level potion in recent years, and the raw materials required are extremely precious and expensive, so this kid must have brought a lot of money with him."

"We were originally going to leave Hogan City and go to Bremen City to find another way to make a living. After we do this, we will just leave. Even if the old wizard is very powerful, he will definitely not find us to settle the score."

The other two couldn't help but nod their heads upon hearing what he said, thinking that it made sense.

"When do we start?" the third brother asked again.

"We will take action after we reach the slums. It's a mess there and it will be difficult to track down the suspect. This will delay us for a while, long enough for us to leave Hogan City and ensure that nothing unexpected happens."

"it is good!"

To get to the commercial district of Hogan City, the dark and dirty section of the slums is still a must-go.

However, compared to the previous two times, Gaode, who has newly mastered three 0-level spells, is undoubtedly more confident this time and no longer needs to lower his head and be cautious.

Besides, even if the slums are a mixed bag and there are many thieves and scoundrels, under normal circumstances, how could he, a civilian dressed simply, encounter so many accidents in broad daylight?
But Gaode forgot one thing: the reason why an accident is called an accident is because it is unexpected.

Just like now, I just walked to the intersection of an alley and the street. Because it was an alley, the vision was a little dim, and I couldn't see any shadows.

It was in this situation that he felt a slight chill on the back of his head and heard the sound of a strong wind in his ears.

Sneak attack!

And it was aimed at his head.

Gao De reacted immediately, but it was too late. In a hurry, he just instinctively bent his body to lower the impact point and avoid the head which is the vital part.

Gode's body's instinctive reaction saved him from having his head exploded, but he was hit on the back. The strong force made Gode groan and stagger.

Feeling the burning pain in his back, Gao De made the most correct response at the moment. He followed the force and rolled over, successfully avoiding the second attack that followed.

He quickly stood up and saw the dark hand that attacked him.

Three rather strong men, each holding a wooden stick in their hand, were looking at him ferociously - it was one thing to do, but the three men were not prepared to kill anyone.

Although they are vicious, they are not extremely cruel and vicious.

Besides, he was just planning to rob people of their money, and he didn't have any deep hatred with Gao De. Under normal circumstances, why would he have the intention to kill someone?
He knocked the man unconscious with a club, took all his money, and then ran away.

"Fortunately it was just a stick." Gao De secretly thanked himself.

If the attacker had a weapon, he would be in great danger now.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me!" Gao De asked sternly.

"You're quick to react, kid. Hand over the money you have on you and we'll let you go!" The leading man stared at Gao De and threatened.

"It turned out to be a robbery." Gao De finally understood. He felt that since he came to this world, he had hardly had any contact with the outside world, so how could he have offended anyone.

However, Gaode was not prepared to spend money to avoid disaster.

Moreover, he only had a few dozen silver coins on him, and this little money would definitely not satisfy the three villains in front of him.

Thinking of this, Gao De had already raised his hand.

A ray of cold blue light burst out from his fingertips.

The light was as fast as lightning, flying straight towards the leading man, leaving a crystal trail.

The rays appeared very suddenly and very fast.

In addition, Gaode's donkey rolling didn't put him far away from the three people, so the attack under such circumstances made it impossible for people to react.

The reason why Gao De asked about the identities of the three people was that he never expected them to answer this question.

The reason he spoke was just to distract the three people's attention a little and buy himself more time to cast the spell.

The ray directly hit the man in the lead. With a slight sound of ice cracking, a thin layer of ice instantly condensed on the man's skin.

He felt a chill deep in his bones and an intense pain, his expression twisted by the cold and pain.

Freeze ray!
