Above the mage!

Chapter 86 It’s rare to be confused
"Until three months ago, the Master Wizard fell ill in bed due to poor health and his constant research on potions. No medicine could cure him, and he eventually..." When he said this, God showed a sad expression.

After listening to Gao De's story, Mrs. Misu was silent for a while, and finally said quietly: "Thirteen years ago, this was the last time we met in this life."

Gao De was a little surprised.

Mrs. Misu's emotions, though somewhat sad, were far less emotional than he had expected.

How could a normal person be so calm upon hearing the news of her husband's death?

Is there another hidden story? Or after being apart for so long, Mrs. Misu's feelings for Master Seda have already faded?

"Before leaving, the Master Mage told me to personally deliver this news to you, Madam Misu, and also asked me to personally deliver this prescription to you."

Gao De, who was somewhat confused about the situation, continued to follow his established process.

He took out another piece of old parchment from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Misu.

"what?"

Mrs. Misu exclaimed softly after taking the old parchment.

"Psychic Potion (Level 1 Potions)"

"Main ingredients: 14/1 ounce of psychic bone powder (about g), pair of phantom butterfly wings"

"Supplementary materials: 1 part of silver thread grass, mandrake bark, dried nettle, sage?"

It was the incomplete prescription for the spiritual potion among Master Seda's relics.

"What is this?" Mrs. Misu hesitated.

"Master Mage has devoted a great deal of time and energy to this prescription. Before he fell ill, he was only one step away from completing the prescription, which was to verify the last auxiliary ingredient," said Gao De.

“Success is within reach, but it is too late.”

"Mrs. Misu, although the prescription is not completely complete, it is almost complete."

"So I think you should understand the preciousness of this prescription. This is also the reason why the Master Mage specifically asked me to personally deliver it to you."

"He doesn't trust anyone else with the prescription!"

"But he also specifically reminded me that there might be someone in Bremen secretly spying on you, so I should be careful."

"The Master Mage said that he was forced by these people and had no choice but to leave Hogan City."

"So, ma'am," Goder apologized, "I used a fake identity to deceive you at the beginning because I needed time to confirm if there was anyone spying on me. I'm sorry."

"I understand. It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." Mrs. Misu sighed and put the prescription in her hand close to her body with great care.

"Before he left, I had thought that this day might come." She sighed, and a layer of mist finally appeared in her eyes.

"In addition to this prescription, there should be another thing that he wants you to hand over to me personally, right?"

Gao De's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the next critical point was about to come.

"There's no need to give me that thing, just keep it for yourself." But before he could say anything, Mrs. Misu spoke first, leaving Gao De stunned.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

"That thing should be a scroll."

Gao De hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need for him to pretend to be confused, even if it is just to see what Mrs. Misu is up to.

"It's actually a letter of recommendation from the Seres School of Magic." Mrs. Misu said directly.

"With this scroll, you can enter the Seres School of Magic to study magic without any conditions."

Gao De showed a surprised expression at the right time.

"It was also the source of my husband's departure," Mrs. Misu continued.

"He knew the so-called person behind the scenes very well. It was someone from the Harel family, who was once a family friend of his."

"Back then, my husband's family, the ancestors of the Norman family and the Harel family were good friends who experienced life and death together. During a relic adventure, they made an incredible contribution to the Principality of Sean."

"When they were rewarded, they jointly chose a letter of recommendation from the Seres School of Magic as a guarantee for the continuation of the family's inheritance."

"But later, my husband's family gradually declined, while the Harel family developed better and better. They even left Bremen and established a foothold in Saint-Sien."

"Until my husband's generation, he was the only heir left in his family. The once prosperous family can be said to exist in name only. Apart from him, few people still remember the name of the Norman family."

"It's nothing, it's fine for us to live our own lives."

"But thirteen years ago, someone from the Harel family came to him and wanted to buy the letter of recommendation from him."

"Indeed, besides him, only the Harel family would know that he has this thing in his hands."

"But my husband refused to give in and insisted that the letter of recommendation had already been sold."

"I have been telling him that it is not necessary. Being together as a family is more important than anything else. Why bother doing it for something external?"

“But he just wouldn’t listen.”

"The result was that they were forced to leave Hogan City. A good family was separated like this, and they couldn't even see each other again." The mist in Mrs. Misu's eyes finally turned into tears and rolled down.

"Madam, please accept my condolences." Gao De also sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Misu cried silently for a long time before wiping her tears with a handkerchief. "Sorry, I lost my composure." Goder shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

"My husband wants to use this letter of recommendation to send Sel to study at the Ceres School of Magic," Mrs. Misu explained after she recovered.

"Although this letter allows Sel to enter the Seris School of Magic unconditionally, how can it be that easy to enter the Seris School of Magic?"

"The Harel family is now in Saint Sean City, and their power is extremely large. Perhaps the people who forced my husband to give up the scroll now believe that Seda will never come back, so they gave up monitoring our family."

"But as long as I set foot on the streets of Saint-Sien with this letter, even before I arrive in Saint-Sien and am still on the way, the person behind the scenes should have received the news." Mrs. Misu was terribly calm.

"In Bremen, my husband was forced into such a situation. How can Serl and I, an orphan and a widow, fight against the Harel family, the local tyrants, in Saint-Sien?"

"Besides, I don't want to think too much about it. It's best for my family to be together. It doesn't matter if they have great achievements."

"Besides, even if you go to the Seres School of Magic, it doesn't mean that you will be able to achieve anything. After all, success depends on people, and the external environment is just auxiliary."

"An ordinary person has no sin himself, but because he holds a precious jade in his arms, he will incur guilt or disaster."

"Searle and I have a good life now, and I don't want this roll of useless recommendation letters to disturb my life."

"So, since you are my husband's apprentice, this letter of recommendation is for you."

"You are not like me. The Harel family doesn't know you. You can directly enter the Seres School of Magic with this letter of recommendation."

The development of the matter was far beyond Gao De's expectations.

But it seems to make sense.

"The Norman family has become so weak, why did they still keep this letter and not use it earlier?" This has always been the thing that Gaode could not understand the most.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Misu sighed and explained, "This letter of recommendation was kept by my husband's family ancestors to be used as a support for their resurgence when they become weak in the future."

"But when the family really began to decline, new problems emerged."

"Once a family becomes weak, its population will become increasingly scarce, and it may not be possible to find people who can use this letter of recommendation."

"For example, my husband doesn't have much talent as a mage. Even if he uses this letter of recommendation and joins the Seres School of Magic, he can only become a first-level mage at best."

"To be honest, this is such a waste. After all, there is only one recommendation letter, and a mere 1st-ring mage really can't help the family rise again."

"It is for this reason that this volume of recommendation letters has been preserved until now."

Gao De nodded slightly. Although he didn't necessarily agree with this approach, he could understand it.

This is like playing cards. If you have bad cards but one bomb, you will definitely want to use this bomb to get more points back.

If you operate well, you may be able to get a big score, but if you operate poorly, other people's cards will run away, and your bomb will rot in your hands.

"There is even a new problem that is difficult to solve." Mrs. Misu sighed again.

"With the decline of the family, even how to get to the Seres School of Magic has become a problem for them." She said helplessly.

"From Bremen to Saint-Sien, it's a journey of thousands of kilometers. The journey is difficult and bumpy. You should understand it if you think about it."

Well, this is exactly the same problem I'm facing right now.

“So at the beginning, I advised him to sell the recommendation letter directly to the Harel family.”

"Isn't it more practical to get a sum of money than a tattered letter that you can only read but not use?"

"Unfortunately, he wouldn't listen to me."

After Gaode had been gone for a long time, a faint sigh from Mrs. Misu was heard in the silent house.

Gao De said that she was her husband's apprentice, so where did she get her skills as a restoration craftsman?
It can't be that his husband taught him.

It was clear that Seda was only good at mixing potions and knew nothing about repairing alchemical items.

The craftsmanship of restoration craftsmen requires both the inheritance of knowledge and the refinement of time.

No matter how you look at it, it conflicts with what Gaode said.

But Gode could clearly provide the letters and potion prescriptions belonging to her husband, and could also report detailed information about Master Seda, including his assets and situation in Hogan City.

She didn't know the truth and details, but she didn't want to delve into it.

She only knew that her husband was definitely no longer alive.

She only understood that whatever the other party was hiding was the target.

Gao De gave her family letter and prescription, but she did not give the letter of recommendation that her husband should have valued the most.

The reason why she "voluntarily" gave the recommendation letter to Gao De, in addition to the reasons stated by Gao De, was because she understood that whether she gave it or not, the recommendation letter would not fall into her hands.

In this case, why not just be foolish and believe Gao De’s words completely, why not give it “voluntarily”?

At least you can get some good news.

Mrs. Misu slowly stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Searle would be home soon and she should prepare dinner.

Very smart.

It's rare to be confused.
