Chapter 52: Hidden Disease (Part 2)
Salin nodded. He was very serious because the expression on Rex's face was even more pious than the teacher who went to see her. You should know that Rex himself was about to break through to Level 6, so that a person close to the level 6 magician would respect him. Of course, Salin should respect him more.
Through the shade, there was a small door. There was a simple magic circle painted on the door. Rex rubbed the magic circle for a while and signaled Salin to wait patiently.
Soon, footsteps came and the door was opened. A seven or eight-year-old child stood at the door, wearing a ridiculous robe, and had dragged to the ground. The child looked smart and said to the outside with a vigilant look: "What's the matter?"
Salin was ashamed to find that this child was a senior magic apprentice.
"Please see Master Joy." Rex said concisely, and handed over a letter.
The child did not answer the letter and said directly: "Come with me."
Salin followed the child through the courtyard in wonder and walked around a small building. The yard behind was still not big. There were two trees planted in the courtyard. The two trees were lush with branches and leaves, the roots were entangled, and the bark was dark green. Salin swallowed a mouthful and recognized that they were the Divine Sang and the Ghost Oak.
The best magic wand is to use alchemy to combine two rare woods.
The two trees are probably thousands of years old and their value is incomprehensible. They are not trees, they are obviously two huge gold bars growing in the ground. I saw too many rare things in the palace, but they are all dead. These two trees are alive magic materials.
The magic wand made of such materials can store at least two magic tricks. If you get three or five hundred pieces ready, any magician can kill an army at will.
Salin resisted the urge to climb up a tree to break two branches. If someone dared to plant this thing in the yard, no one in the entire imperial capital dared to come and play.
"Get in by yourself. I still have something to do, so I'm busy." The child pointed to the two-story wooden building facing him, turned around and ran away, dragging his robe.
"Aren't you afraid that we are fake?" Salin was a little surprised.
"If we were making trouble, we would never be able to get out of this yard again." Princess Rex looked at Salin with a warning gaze. Salin nodded quickly and said that he understood. It seemed that the people in this wooden building were also a fierce monster. Whether you were taking the wrong path or making trouble, there was only one fate.
The wooden building is as clean and quaint as it is. Before I could walk up the stairs, a young voice came from the building: "Is it lace? I'm downstairs, so I don't have to go up."
The first floor door opened automatically, and it was pitch black inside, and Surrey could not feel any elemental fluctuations. The light stopped at the door and could not shine in. Rex pulled Lhasalin's sleeve and walked into the darkness first.
Salin only admires the use of dark magic to this extent.
Through the dark barrier, Salin entered a magic lab. There was no metal in this laboratory, a stone platform, and a whole piece of neat jade carved. The stone platform was as neat as a dining table that had not been served. Apart from the six carved magic circles, there was nothing else.
A young man appeared in front of the two people like a ghost. He had long green hair, green eyes, slender figure, very white skin, and white hair on his skin, like a layer of frost and snow.
"Little Lace, you're back, it's so loud. Why did you come to see me after three days?" Salin then realized that this man was young, but his actual age was probably beyond estimate. Because of those green eyes, Salin only glanced at them and seemed to have fallen into an illusory space. In this space, time flew rapidly, and Salin felt that his body gradually lost its strength, as if he had become old in an instant.
"Master!" Rex was shocked.
"I remember when you were young, you called me Joey."
"I was ignorant at that time." Rex said embarrassedly. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Salin get rid of the illusion.
"You are sensible now? What should I do with such a dying person?" The mysterious Joey pointed at Salin and asked Princess Rex.
"What?" Rex and Salin exclaimed at the same time.
"If he stops practicing and finds a place to live and wait for death, he may still be able to live for three or five years. If he continues, I'm afraid you can only take his body with you when you leave. Little Lace, did you ask me to make a puppet for you? I'm not very good at undead magic."
Salin's body was a little stiff. He didn't believe it if someone else said this, but this Joey didn't use any magic on him. Just a glance, he almost took his life.
He always remembers the text behind the Magic String Potion - Magic String Potion can transform the body of a magic apprentice and form a special magic string. However, this method that goes against nature will make the magic apprentice pay an unpredictable price. I remind those who see this text that what you pay will exceed what you get.
What you pay will exceed what you get! Is the price of getting the magic string to pay your life?
"Master, the teacher also saw his problem, please save him." Rex quickly recovered from calmness. Before she came, she knew that there was something wrong with Salin's body, but she didn't expect that she was terminally ill. However, if Joey was willing to help, Salin's soul would be able to be retrieved even if it ran to another plane.
"Your teacher is a bad guy, why should I save him?"
Seeing Rex speechless, Joey said, "This kid is not your friend or your subordinate. I spent my energy to save him, and he would not thank me. Why not let him die."
Salin calmed down, and he thought, while asking, "Master Joy, what price do I need to pay before you can help?"
"cost?"
Joey looked at Salin curiously and said, "Didn't you think about giving anything when you took the magic string potion?"
Salin's heart seemed to be hit by a warhammer, and he was dizzy. Magic String Potion! Joey knew the secret of Magic String Potion! The last little fantasy disappeared, and Joey did not deceive himself.
"Master, I am a Skochenya. We believe that everything can be traded." Salin ignored Rex's gaze. He had a lot of things at hand, which was a fatal temptation for the magician. He didn't believe that this mysterious magician would not be moved.
"I don't care. Rex, drive him away. If I don't leave, I will do it." Joey said coldly.
Salin ignored Joey's words. He took a magic pen from the shelf next to him and drew a magic circle on the stone platform. The magic circle was drawn in a mess by him because he had not systematically learned how to draw the formation. This magic circle was obtained by him in the goddess' temple, with a total of twenty-five ones. Based on his memories, he could only draw it to this level.
Joey didn't stop Salin, but just stood there, watching Salin finish drawing the magic circle, and then said, "You can leave."
"You don't think that when I die, you can take away everything, right? There are 25 magic circles in total. If you save me, I will give you the original drawings. If you don't save me, I will burn these 25 magic circles. Of course, you can also grab them, and now I will bring them with you."
"Snatch you?" Joey smiled and said, "This is the most precious magic array I have ever seen, but I won't let me do that kind of thing. If I don't save you, it's not worth it for your teacher. You must be carrying him on his back. It's his sorrow to have a student like you."
Salin's eyebrows were twisted together, and his face looked ugly. Jason was like his parents in his heart. He never showed this feeling, but because he was afraid of losing. Joey said this, which hurt the secret in his heart. Salin lowered his face and said, "I know you don't want to attack me, but please take back your words, you are insulting a great magician."
"No one can be called great in front of me." Joey said disapprovingly. His young face looked so abominable, and Salin wanted to break his nose with one punch.
"I will keep your words in my heart, the day I die." Salin bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out of the building. He felt a little desperate. The magician saw the hidden disease in his body and could not help, so he asked Rex to bring him to see Joey. Unexpectedly, Joey seemed to be able to see through everything and could reject any temptation.
It turns out that there are really things that cannot be traded in this world.
From the beginning, I have been making mistakes, making magic string potions on my back, dealing with thieves, receiving bribes from the viscount, and killing Count Su Fangsuo's son. The teacher has been tolerant, but he turns around and runs away.
What you give will exceed what you get. Salin finally understood the meaning of this sentence. Many things are irreversible. He is so selfish and never thought about others. Has Sika's hometown been through last winter? He has thought about it many times, but he has never really helped him.
Then die, it’s better to die, and Shika doesn’t have to be frightened by herself. But she still feels sorry for the teacher.
Salin walked out the door with tears in tears, not because of fear of death, but because of seeing through his cowardice.
There was a dark barrier in front of the door. Salin stepped through and stepped over, but walked into a space without direction. There was no light in this space, and it was extremely rich darkness.
"Master!" Rex saw that Salin was suddenly fixed there and did not move, knowing that he had been hit by Joey's magic.
"I don't like him." Joey said with a smile, his green eyes no longer cold.
"Everyone makes mistakes, I've investigated his past..."
"He's important?" Joey waited for Rex's answer with a magician-style curiosity.
