Above the mage!

Chapter 20 Unexpected News

When the three were stunned by the freezing ray, Gaode once again activated the spell model to release the spell.

The next moment, his left hand had already thrown out a small ball of emerald green liquid, which streaked through the air like a malicious comet and headed straight for the leading man who was slow in movement due to the freezing rays.

After spinning briefly in the air, the ball formed a large mist-like splash and then landed accurately on the leading man.

As soon as the acid came into contact with the man, his clothes and skin immediately began to corrode with a hissing sound, and thick smoke and a pungent smell of sulfur emerged.

The fabric of the clothes began to melt, and the skin also melted, leaving a green trail of corrosion.

The acid only lasted about three seconds before disappearing, but these three seconds were enough to make the man feel so painful that he collapsed to the ground, rolling and struggling, and constantly wailing in pain.

In the dark alley, the acid quickly disappeared, leaving only corrosive smoke filling the air.

The man was lying on the ground, still twitching violently. His body was in a horrible state, with marks of burns all over it. There was no trace of his ferocious appearance just now.

The other two people were frightened out of their wits.

They have a certain understanding of mages, but not a deep understanding. In the final analysis, they are just "thugs" with some connections.

Therefore, the two of them did not realize that a mage apprentice like Gao De who had no background was most likely just a first-class apprentice at his age, with limited magic power, and the number of spells he could cast would not exceed five at most.

"Master Mage, Master Mage, please spare us. Please spare us. We didn't know you were a mage. We offended you and we won't dare to do that again."

The second of the three kept begging for mercy. In his eyes, the boy with a childish face was even more terrifying than the number one thug of the city's gang.

"You are a distinguished wizard. Don't bother with us scum. Don't attack us again." He said with a trembling voice as he saw the light flashing from Gaode's fingertips again.

The miserable condition of the boss was right before his eyes, which made him not have the courage to resist at all.

He was afraid that he would end up like his boss.

Gao De silently put down his right hand, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Who are you? Why did you attack me!"

It was the same question as before, but this time they answered honestly.

"We are the miners of Nottingham Colliery"

He saw that Goder's anger seemed to have subsided a little, just like a drowning man breathing oxygen, and he hurriedly spit out everything, "Since the Nottingham mine was exhausted, the three of us have lost our jobs and can only work odd jobs in the city, working from day to day."

"We knew that this was not going to work. A few days ago, when we were drinking, we heard a piece of news that a new mine had started construction in Bremen and miners were urgently needed. So we planned to go there and continue our old business, but..."

"It's just that you usually spend all your money in the tavern, so now when you need money you can't even take out the travel expenses, right?" Gao De understood and said coldly.

Miners in this era usually have no so-called savings awareness, and they are all "moonlight clan".

As soon as they get their salary, they just enjoy themselves and spend all the money on drinking or having fun.

Therefore, when wages are settled at the beginning of each month, the pubs in the city are the busiest and have the best business.

The second male was a little embarrassed, but he kept begging for mercy, "It's us who don't want to make progress, it's us who have evil intentions, Master Mage, please don't bother with us scumbags"

"Why did you choose me as your target? Do I look like a rich man?" Gao De had no intention of letting the three of them go and kept asking for answers.

The second brother was very nervous. He looked at God carefully and explained, "Yes, Boss. Some time ago, Phil's Potion Shop was recruiting temporary herbalists. The three of us went and followed the shop assistants to the mountains to pick thorn grass. We worked as herbalists for a few days..."

Gao De actually still remembered what this person said.

When he and Amy went to Phil's Potion Shop for the first time, they did see a sign at the door of the pharmacy saying that they were recruiting temporary herbalists, which matched perfectly.

"During the interval between picking herbs, the boss was chatting with their store staff, and one of the staff shared an interesting story:

Among the four medicine gardens that their pharmacy cooperates with, the potion master in your medicine garden is the most troublesome. On the one hand, he ships low-level potions to them, and on the other hand, he constantly purchases high-level medicinal materials from them, and returns most of the money he earns to them."

“Then the leading pharmacist shouted at him not to be disrespectful to the Seda pharmacist.

He also said that Pharmacist Seda was in seclusion researching advanced magic potions, not leaving his house, and even letting his apprentices do the shipping and purchasing, which was enough to show his concentration. Once he made a high-level magic potion, it would be amazing. ""It was when the boss heard this that he had evil thoughts. "

"Then the boss found out that the apprentice in charge of purchasing and shipping herbs in your herb garden was recently replaced by you, who is much younger. We thought that the younger you are, the easier it would be to get started."

After hearing the whole story, Gao De was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Have you found out when our herb garden will purchase medicinal materials next time?"

"If you can answer it, I will let you go this time," he added.

"I know, I know," the trembling third brother said quickly, "The clerk said that your medicine garden just placed an order last month, and this month they urgently placed another order of the same kind.

It’s just that they have stock of other herbs, but the herbs you purchased are rare and need to wait for the store’s next restock before they can be provided.

He even boasted that the pharmacist in your medicine garden was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do because the only channel for purchasing the medicinal materials he needed in the entire Hogan City was Phil's Pharmacy."

"The three of us have been waiting outside the medicine garden for several days. Today, we saw you go out into the city with nothing in your hands. I thought the pharmacy must have been restocked, and you took the money to get the medicine, so."

Gao De got some key information, his attention was diverted, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go away."

The other party was only after money and not intending to kill, and they had already been punished enough. In this case, he really couldn't bring himself to kill these three people.

Although Gao De dared to draw his sword and blood splattered three feet when facing Yilan's threat, he was not a violent and bloodthirsty person after all.

"Thank you, Master Mage. Thank you, Master Mage. We'll leave now!"

Seeing that Gao De agreed, the two nodded rapidly, not daring to think or stay any longer. They hurriedly helped up their boss who was still lying on the ground in pain, and ran away.

Watching the three people leave, Gao De could still feel a burning pain in his back.

The blow was quite powerful.

Even if it's just a blunt weapon like a wooden stick, it really wouldn't feel good to be hit by it.

But the anxiety and enthusiasm in his heart made him temporarily ignore the pain.

The anxiety came from knowing from the three of them that I really didn't have much time left.

The reason for the frenzy was that this was the first time that Gode had completely released a spell.

Even though he had cast spells and experienced it after successfully constructing the spell model, he still didn't expect that the power of spells would be so great in actual combat.

This is just a trick, what if it is a 1st level spell?

I'm afraid that with just one spell, the three of them can go to see their grandmother together, right?
Horn City, business district.

Phil's Potion Shop.

Gao De looked at the door and walked into the store.

"What can I do for you?"

The clerk of the potion shop came over and quickly recognized Goder, saying, "Is the time interval between the two deliveries from your medicine garden shorter this time than before?"

"I'm not here to ship goods today."

As Godard spoke, he browsed through the magic potions on the counter. There were many kinds of them, but most of them were ordinary low-level auxiliary potions.

"Our Master Mage specifically asked me to come and ask if the herbs he requested have arrived?"

"You know, our purchase time is always the last day of every month."

"We also know that Master Seda is very anxious, but the goods will indeed have to wait until the end of the month. Please tell Master Seda to wait patiently." The clerk said with a smile, without any impatience at all.

"I understand. I will tell the Master Mage." Gao De nodded calmly and turned to leave the pharmacy.
