Above the mage!

Chapter 6 Night Assassination
The night is darker.

Amy's soft snoring gradually died down.

There was deathly silence in the medicine garden.

crunch~
The not-so-harsh sound of the wooden door being pushed open passed by in a flash, without breaking the tranquility of the night.

"Who?" Yilan's confused voice sounded.

"it's me."

"Uh, Gode? What are you doing here?" Yilan hadn't fully woken up yet and his mind was still in a mess.

"Yilan, I thought you should be fast asleep at this time, so I came to find you."

"What do you mean?" Yilan was about to get up, but in the night, with the help of the moonlight, he could see a hazy figure, which had moved to the side of his bed while he was talking.

A dark figure was reflected on the wall, with a sharp knife in his hand, which was stabbing towards him as the hand fell.

what! !

Yilan was frightened and his heart trembled. All his sleepiness was dispelled and he woke up instantly. Goose bumps appeared on his skin. He instinctively raised his right hand to try to block possible attacks.

It's too late.

There was a pop.

There was a piercing pain in his chest.

Something sharp and cold pierced his chest.

It was a table knife, the kind used in restaurants to cut rye bread. It wasn't very sharp, but it was barely enough to be used as a deadly weapon.

Gao De pressed his knee against Yilan's throat and used his left hand to hold down Yilan's body, while his right hand held the dinner knife firmly.

puff!puff!puff!
He pulled out his knife and stabbed again, and again, and again
The scarlet blood flowed on his hand, which seemed warm in the cold night, but it could not bring any warmth to Gaode.

He just felt sick.

God didn't stop until Yilan's body completely collapsed and there was no sign of struggle.

He gasped for air.

"So, this is murder..."

Everything went just as Gaode planned, and even more smoothly.

Yilan, who had not yet fully recovered from a deep sleep, had never thought that Gode would dare to kill her. Facing Gode's night attack, Yilan had no power to resist at all.

Everything is much simpler than imagined.

But the discomfort of killing someone for the first time does not disappear just because it was planned.

“The King of Hell is a difficult little devil to deal with. Even if Yilan can’t kill me directly like Master Seda, he has always been holding a grudge against me. Who knows what little tricks he will use to disgust me.

And he keeps staring at me like this, which makes it inconvenient for me to act later. I can't feel at ease until he dies!"

"Besides, I have already died once because of Yilan's frame-up while trying the medicine. This is a life-and-death feud, and blood debt must be paid with blood. It is only natural."

"He forced me."

Gao De's hands were still shaking, and he kept finding reasons to force himself to calm down and adapt.

Must adapt.

Gao De understood that given his situation, if he didn't want to die, others would have to die.

clang!
Suddenly, Gao De's pupils dilated sharply, as if he had seen something horrifying, and he was so frightened that the dinner knife in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound when it hit the floor.

After killing someone, although Gaode's hands were still shaking, he was still not so shaken that he couldn't even hold a table knife.

The reason for this was simply because he was startled.

Just now, Gao De clearly felt that the crescent gem that existed in his mind, whose use he had never understood, seemed to be activated and suddenly emitted a flickering light.

Immediately afterwards, several lines of information interfaces that were often seen in games and novels appeared in front of him:

origin:

0 ring——[Human] (1/7)

Spells:

0-Ring——[Hand of the Mage], [Repair]

The interface is very simple, even crude, with only two information columns in total, namely spells and origins.

The spell column showed the two tricks that Gao De currently knew. Behind the two spells, there was a small yellow plus sign flashing.

This is an extremely familiar design, and anyone who has played the game will understand what it means.

"Add some more".

Gao De tentatively touched the yellow plus sign behind the word "Repair" with his mind.

The next moment, some information inexplicably emerged in Gaode's mind as if it were implanted in his memory.

"The source is insufficient."

Obviously, adding points requires consuming essence.

Gaode's attention naturally turned to the origin column in the interface.

【Human】（1/7）.

The message was brief and contained no additional explanation, but Gao De understood it instantly.

His eyes turned to Elayne's body on the bed.

"Do I have to kill seven humans to get a little origin?" Gao De muttered to himself.

It's still dark.

Master Seda was awakened by the inexplicable noisy sounds in the medicine garden.

For a man of his age, he was a very light sleeper.

And he always has a bad temper.

He pushed open the door with dissatisfaction, took a few steps, and grabbed a passing apprentice.

"What did you say?!"

After hearing the news spoken by his apprentice in a trembling voice, Master Seda was stunned for a moment.

Passing through the long and narrow corridor, Master Seda came to the apprentice living area, which he rarely visited on weekdays.

"Master Mage." An apprentice saw him and said timidly with a panicked expression: "Yilan is dead."

"What's going on?" Although Master Seda's voice remained steady, the coldness in it was clearly revealed.

"I just got here too." The apprentice was unable to answer and stammered.

Master Seda lost his patience and walked forward with a cold face, passing through the long and narrow corridor. Finally, he stopped in front of Yilan's door and looked inside.

I saw Yilan's not-so-tall body lying on the wooden bed against the wall, his chest was covered in blood, and his eyes were round and white.

Obviously, dead.

The way he died was simple, he was stabbed to death.

The murder weapon should be a dagger-like blade.

Master Seda frowned, suppressed his anger, and turned his gaze to another corner of the room.

There was a young man sitting there, and on the ground next to him was a blood-stained knife.

And his hands were covered in scarlet blood.

Master Seda usually doesn't pay much attention to these apprentices, but his memory is not bad.

There is no such thing as a wizard with a bad memory.

He remembered this young man, who was the only apprentice who survived the drug testing over the years.

"You did it?" asked Master Seda, his voice full of dissatisfaction and coldness.

"Yes." Gao De raised his head and replied. His face was still pale, but his eyes were very calm.

"What's going on?" Master Seda asked again.

"I first stole the knife used to cut bread while eating in the restaurant."

Gao De pointed to the bloody knife on the ground.

“Not very sharp, but good enough.”

"Then, I waited until late at night, when I thought he was asleep, and sneaked up on him," Gao De explained. "He is older and stronger than me. If I don't find a good opportunity, I may not be able to kill him."

"In the end, he died in my hands."
