Above the mage!

Chapter 26: Fang of the Hidden Mist
The bustling stall suddenly became deserted.

The young stall owner seemed to be a little shocked as well. He hung his head for a long time before he raised his head again. He suddenly found that there was someone standing in front of his stall.

A young boy dressed simply.

The young stall owner had a good memory. After a slight pause, he recognized Gao De as one of the people who had just come to watch the fun.

"There's nothing exciting to watch, why don't you leave?" The young stall owner pouted, but didn't show any displeasure to Gao De.

Gao De smiled at the young stall owner and said:

"I'm not here to watch the fun."

"Ok?"

Gao De pointed at the copper object that had just caused the quarrel and said sincerely, "Four Sean gold coins, will you sell it?"

Gaode is really sincere.

Because his total wealth is only 4 golds and 15 silvers.

The young stall owner hesitated for a moment and did not reply immediately. Instead, he stared at Gao De's still somewhat childish face and asked:
"You don't think I'm lying to you?"

"Although the rune patterns have been worn off, it is still possible to see the complete runes, which should be quite extraordinary." Gao De carefully looked at the bronze object several times and confirmed.

The young stall owner was silent for a moment, then he picked up the copper object and handed it to Gao De, "Deal."

Gao De did not hesitate and took out three Sean gold coins and twenty three-leaf flower silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the young stall owner.

Looking at the neatly stacked gold and silver coins in his hand, the young stall owner hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then spoke again:

"To tell you the truth, this copper object is called the Fang of Hidden Mist. When it was intact, it was a first-level magical alchemical artifact that could cast the first-level spell Hidden Mist. It was just that the spell rune was accidentally worn out during a battle."

"So what I said just now, if it is repaired, it will not be a problem to sell it for 60 or 70 Sean gold coins. This is indeed not bragging."

The average price of a 1st level extraordinary item is generally 65 gold coins.

Gao De did not seem too excited, because since the stall owner said so, there must be follow-up.

as predicted.

"It's just that my father once found an enchanter. After checking, the enchanter found that the worn part of the spell rune of the Hidden Mist Fang was the core rune."

"To repair it would be almost like re-carving the spell runes, which was beyond his ability, so the matter was left unresolved."

“So, it’s not an easy task to repair it.”

"I see you don't have a lot of money on hand. If you regret it, forget about this deal."

The young stall owner looked helpless and annoyed.

"It's okay. If you really can't find a way to repair it, I can keep it as a collection." Gao De's calm voice sounded.

The young stall owner was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

Gao De got the item he wanted, but as he was short of money, he didn't want to continue wandering around, so he walked away.

Medicine garden.

In front of the brown-black door.

Godard, who had just returned from the town square, knocked on the door.

"Cough in." The familiar voice of Master Seda mixed with a cough came from inside the door.

Gao De quickly opened the door.

Master Seda sat at the long wooden table, facing him.

When Gao De saw Master Seda, he was shocked.

It had only been a dozen days since we last saw each other, but Master Seda looked as if he had fallen seriously ill, and his complexion was extremely sick.

Although the original Master Seda had a pale complexion, it was not as bad as it is now. There was almost no blood in his face, and it was as pale as a corpse.

Goder suppressed the doubts and restlessness in his heart, and quickly stepped forward to salute Master Seda, then respectfully handed over the receipt from Phil's Potion Shop with both hands and lowered his head deeply.

"Master Mage, today I delivered the potions that have been stored in the medicine garden to the city. This is the receipt I got back."

"Put it on the table." The voice of Master Seda also sounded weak, but Gao De did not dare to show any disrespect.

He carefully placed the receipt on the long wooden table, then stood respectfully aside, waiting for Master Seda to speak.

Master Seda had a blank expression on his face, and looked at Gaode with his eyes half-open and half-closed, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes.

"I see you leaving the medicine garden quite often lately?"

Gao De was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and his face changed drastically, revealing a panicked expression as if his crime had been exposed.

He clenched his hands, his face showing fear and shame, "Master Mage, I...I have a wrong mind and indulged in the prosperity of the city, neglecting my daily practice..."

Master Seda stared at Gaode who was repenting, considering something.

"Master Mage, I will definitely get back on track in the future. Please forgive my ignorance and indulgence." Gao De said a few nice and flattering words in succession.

But Master Seda didn't care. He sneered and looked at Gaode's performance with a mocking look.

"I don't care whether you practice diligently or not, I only care whether you delay my work."

"Master Mage, I promise that I have not delayed my work. Please understand my mistake!" Gao De felt a little uneasy.

The next moment, Master Seda reached out his hand to grab Gaode.

Gao De knew something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to resist and dodge, but he calmed down in an instant, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not take action.

Now is not the time to turn against each other.

Master Seda's hand clamped Gode's wrist like an iron clamp, and the magic power surged in it, bringing Gode pain deep into his bones.

"Do you know that I have been researching the formula of the psychic potion for ten years. Listen carefully, it's not ten days, not ten months, but ten years!" Master Seda said grimly, his voice full of murderous intent.

"Now that I am finally close to success, at this juncture, I will never tolerate any accidents!"

"You have bad intentions. You keep running to the city every other day. You don't have any real skills. Sooner or later, something bad will happen to you."

"I tell you, if it were anyone else, they would have died. It's just the life of an apprentice. I know none of you really regard me as a mentor. It doesn't matter. I don't care because I really don't regard you as apprentices."

"But you are different. Even if you die, you can only die from my magic potion." The expression of Master Seda became more and more ferocious, and he almost roared at God, "Do you know that?"

As Master Seda's expression became fierce, the pain in Gaode's wrist became more and more excruciating. He answered with difficulty and a trembling voice: "I know."

Through the [Torture] spell, Master Seda learned that Gode was not lying and then stopped his spell.

Gao De had already broken into a sweat due to the severe pain, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He bit his lip, unable to remain calm any longer.

A soul from modern society cannot accept this kind of thing when it is clearly intended to take his life but still threatens him in every way.

But he understood that no matter how much he begged or how angry he was, he could not change the other party at all, and he could only force himself to continue to endure.

"From today on, until the drug test, you are not allowed to leave the medicine garden again. The medicine does not need to be sent to the pharmacy for the time being."

Master Seda was very satisfied with the tremendous pressure he brought to Gode.

"I understand, Master Mage." In the face of Master Seda's powerful strength, Gode gritted his teeth and surrendered.

Hearing Gode's words of submission, Master Seda let out a sigh of relief for the anger that had been pent up in his heart for the past few days.

When the time came, his nervousness and pressure were no less than Gao De's when he was planning the "rebellion".

"Go back." Master Seda waved his hand.

Gao De bowed again and then left.

He knew very well that Master Seda didn't care at all whether he was polite and respectful to him.

But Gaode still acted respectful, not wanting Master Seda to see that he was planning to resist.

He knew that he must not let Master Seda be on guard.

Originally, the power of the two was very different. If they wanted to resist successfully, the most important chance of winning was to "take the enemy by surprise".
