The Genius Mage

Panda Novel

"Miss Audrey, there's only one thing I'm looking for you for. We'd like to meet the master alchemist behind you. So I wonder if Miss Audrey would be willing to help us make an introduction?" The mysterious young man asked.

Hearing this, Audrey's eyes flashed. It seemed like they did not know that she was the one who had refined this level-10 alchemy potion. Instead, they thought that she had a mysterious and powerful alchemist behind her.

After thinking for a moment, Audrey understood the reason.

In the eyes of others, she was the worst trash in Spark City. With only level-1 cultivation, she could not refine a level-10 potion.

That was why they guessed that she had a mysterious and powerful alchemist behind her.

This was good news.

If they had such a wrong judgment, then she would be able to manipulate them easily. Then, perhaps she would not have to expose herself.

"How did you know that I have a powerful alchemist behind me?"

Audrey pretended to be surprised as if she was very shocked.

Audrey's acting was quite brilliant. After all, she had once practiced illusion-type magic and created illusions that were no different from the real world.

It was effortless for her just to control her facial expressions and eyes.

At the very least, she was sure that the level 50-plus mysterious man in front of her could not see any flaws.

The mysterious man smiled faintly when he saw Audrey's shocked expression. He stood up from his chair with his hands behind his back and said confidently, "Did you want to lie to us and say that your mother left behind this potion?

"Unfortunately, such a low-level trick is useless against me. I can accurately determine the time when the potion was refined. If I'm not wrong, the time needed to refine this potion should have been within two months.

"From this, it can be seen that the mysterious alchemist is in Spark City.

"So there's no need for you to lie to me anymore. Just tell me where the master is."

Audrey fell silent as though she was hesitating.

The mysterious man said, "You don't have to hesitate. We have no ill intentions toward the master. Instead, we want to ask him for a favor."

Audrey said, "The master isn't in Spark City right now."

"Is that so?"

The mysterious man stared into Audrey's eyes. It was obvious that he did not believe her words.

Audrey continued, "That master went out to do something. Unfortunately, he won't be back for a month."

For now, Audrey could only stall him. The longer she delayed, the more methods she had to deal with him.

"Really?"

The mysterious man asked again, but this time, it was different from before. A mysterious power emanated from his voice and instantly enveloped the entire living room.

After the power appeared, Audrey's body trembled slightly. Then, her eyes gradually became empty, like a soulless doll.

"I'll ask you again. where is the master?" The mysterious man asked.

Audrey's expression was dull as she answered subconsciously, "I don't know. He went out and said that he had something to do."

The mysterious man frowned slightly. Audrey could not lie in front of his bewitching magic.

Could it be that what she said was true? That the alchemy master was really not in Spark City?

"Did he say when he would be back?" The mysterious man continued to ask.

Audrey said in a daze, "He did. The master said that it could be as short as a month or as long as half a year."

The mysterious man frowned deeply when he heard that. A month was not a problem, but half a year was not something he could wait that long for.
