The Wizard World
042 Dead Soul Grass 1
The next morning, Angelet didn't get up until almost ten o'clock. He slept too late last night, and it took him a full seven hours to recover.
After finishing breakfast in a hurry, I greeted the academy guard and registered the departure certificate. So he hired a carriage and went straight to the Hongyanshan cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
In the afternoon, the reddish sunset dyes everything bright red. There are a few flamboyant clouds floating in the sky.
On the Red Rock Mountain on the outskirts of Maluya, the top of the mountain was directly dug up to form a huge platform, which was full of gray and white tombstones, surrounded by lush green forests, and sloped towards the surroundings to form a slope. From a distance, the whole mountain is a trapezoid.
In the middle of the cemetery on the top of the mountain, some people who came to pay homage can be seen from time to time. Among these people, one of them was an ordinary aristocratic boy in his teens, with a dull face, his eyes constantly wandering back and forth in the grass around the tombstone. From time to time, I walked from one tombstone to another. It doesn't seem like someone who came to pay homage. Beside him was a middle-aged groom dressed in gray cloth.
"Master Angelet, it's getting late now. Should we go back?" the groom reminded in a low voice. He has been following this young nobleman for almost two hours. If the other party hadn't given him two gold coins at one time, which is equivalent to twenty silver coins, which is equivalent to pulling people twenty times, he would definitely not look like a fool. The same as running around behind this young master's ass.
"Is it getting dark already?" Angelet noticed the sky.
He frowned. Finally, his gaze scanned the surrounding grass without giving up, finally revealing a trace of disappointment.
"Forget it, let's go back." Angelet said lightly. Turn around and walk towards the outer exit of the cemetery.
"By the way, how is the situation on Rudin's side recently? Is Saladin still fighting?" He asked casually.
The groom thought about it: "I heard from those who escaped from Rudin in the tavern that there is only one capital in Rudin that has not been captured, and the rest has been divided up by neighboring countries. Saladin's people came to the port There are not many, so the situation is not very clear. After all, we are just ordinary civilians, and we are not qualified to know these major events." He said with a smile.
"That's right, but there should be a lot of people rushing to the port from Rudin's side? Are there any big shots?" Angelet continued to ask. He knew that these grooms often pull people, and the chatter between different passengers can also tell. Get a lot of information.
The groom chuckled, but didn't say anything.
Angelet casually took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to him. The groom then smiled and continued. "I heard from two passengers chatting that not many escaped from Rudin's side. They were all small nobles. The larger teams seemed to be intercepted halfway. Especially the royal team, they were captured by enemies from several countries. Surround it, I heard it was miserable..."
"Really?" Angelet nodded. It sounds like the Marquis of Syrias didn't escape bad luck, but the source of the groom's information is unknown, and the credibility is questionable. If it is true, then killing Philip The only hidden danger should be declared eliminated.
"By the way, have you heard of the dead soul grass?" He suddenly asked. There are a few more gold coins in his hand.
The golden luster made the groom's face even more brilliant. "Death Soul Grass? Describe the appearance, maybe I've seen it somewhere, but it's not the name."
"It's similar to clover, but it's all black."
"All black clover? Oh...you mean black clover? This thing only grows in graveyards. So you came here for that thing?" the groom said suddenly. "I guess you will be disappointed. I heard people say black clover in the pharmacy. It seems to be a very expensive medicinal material. This place definitely doesn't have it, and it has been picked long ago."
"Pharmacy?" Angelet nodded. "Then, just take me to the pharmacy." He directly threw two gold coins to the groom. The latter happily caught it.
"No problem at all."
"The sooner the better."
"We'll be there in half an hour!" The groom patted his chest and laughed.
About twenty minutes later. Angelet stood in front of a medicine store at the port. Behind is the passing horse-drawn carriage and stream of people. The surroundings seemed loud and noisy.
There is an iron bar outside the pharmacy, and a cloth signboard is hung on it, which reads in Rudin: Masi's small pharmacy. A cluster of dried medicinal herbs is also drawn on the side.
The storefront is just below a gray and white residential building, between a row of facades. From time to time, people in different clothes came in and out of the door, some in noble clothes, but more ordinary civilians in ordinary cloth clothes. There are also some mercenaries with weapons such as swords and knives on their backs. It seems that there is an endless stream of people, and the business is good.
This is the nearest pharmacy that the groom introduced. Reasonable price.
Angelet was dressed in a black and red aristocratic hunting suit, standing in front of the pharmacy, a little conspicuous. People who came in and out would look at him from time to time.
He took a look at the situation in the store. He strode up the steps and entered the door.
The boss was weighing medicine for two mercenaries, a man and a woman. He was an old man with a white beard. He looked kind and friendly, and looked like an experienced old pharmacist. There are a few boys and girls on the side who are introducing something to other guests. As soon as Angelet walked in, a young man greeted him immediately.
"Welcome, young master, what's wrong with you, what kind of medicine do you need?" The boy had a patterned smile on his face.
"I want some black clover, do you have any here?"
"Black Clover?" The boy's face froze with a smile. "Don't be kidding, even the largest pharmacy in the port doesn't sell this rare medicinal material."
Angelet frowned. "Is there really no way to buy it?"
The boy nodded affirmatively. "A black clover plant is worth thousands of gold coins. It is no longer a common medicinal material. Only those auctions may have it, or it may be collected by others. This kind of medicine... was clearly stated by the alliance more than ten years ago. According to the regulations, civilians are not allowed to buy or sell, otherwise they will be sentenced to death. Property will be confiscated.”
"Really?" Angelet was a little helpless. It's just the first stage of apprentice wizard's practice that requires such troublesome necessary conditions. After that, I don't know what kind of trouble I will encounter.
A plant costs thousands of gold coins, even if it is delivered to him, he still can't afford it now.
Leave the pharmacy. The sky has completely darkened.
Angelet asked the groom to take him directly to Adolf's mentor's villa.
The only way now is to find a mentor. After all, he gave Angelet the wizard's book, so he can only hope for it. The dead soul grass black clover is really not something that Angelet can get.
When they arrived at Adolf's villa, the bell at the port had already struck seven o'clock in the evening. All kinds of oil street lamps were also lit up on the road.
When Angelet got out of the carriage, he saw Sophia, the tutor's daughter, watering the garden. There are four oil lamps on both sides hanging at the entrance of the villa. Not too bright but not too dim either.
Sophia also saw Angelet. "Angri, you're here so early?" There was a trace of surprise on her face, as if she knew that Angelet would come again. Come over and open the iron gate.
"Go, father is in the study on the second floor."
Angelet nodded, and didn't need her to lead the way. He walked into the villa with the door open, walked up the curved stairs to the second floor, and came to the study.
Boom boom boom.
He knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in. The door is unlocked." Adolf's old voice came out.
Angelet turned the doorknob lightly, and opened the door with a click.
Adolf was lying on the bamboo recliner with his eyes closed, wearing a white nightgown. He held a leather scroll in his hand and rested it on his stomach.
"sit."
After saluting, Angelet sat on a separate leather sofa.
"Looking at the instructor's appearance, he must have known that I would come to ask for help?"
Adolf opened his eyes with a smile on his face. "You did not disappoint me. Didn't the real content of that book scare you?"
Angelet was startled, then smiled. "It was kind of intimidating."
"Being able to see the real content shows that you have the potential of a wizard. I have given that book to many, many young people, but you are the only one who can see the real content. Only those who can see the real content can They will come to see me on the second or third day after they get the book. It is impossible for ordinary people to finish reading the disguised content in such a short time." Adolf said with a smile.
"It looks like, why are you so sure that I will pass the will test?" Angelet asked suspiciously.
"Just now you went to the Red Rock Mountain cemetery?" Adolf's smile deepened. "At Maruya, I am not just an ordinary linguistics scholar."
Angelet understood. It is estimated that his whereabouts have been under the control of the mentor.
"Then I would like to ask the teacher, how to solve the problem of black clover and dead soul grass? It seems that it is very difficult to get it. This kind of plant."
"I bought a black clover a few years ago, and it's absolutely no problem to lay the foundation." Adolf said with a smile.
"So, what price do I have to pay?" Angelet asked calmly. Although Adolf appreciated him very much, he naturally wouldn't just give him something worth thousands of gold coins.
"The price? It's too early for you to say this. Although thousands of gold coins are not a small amount to me, they are still affordable. What I value is your potential, your future." Adolf restrained Put on a smile and speak clearly.
"Mary, let Sophia come in." He shouted towards the door.
Not long after, Sophia in red walked in suspiciously. "Father, what do you want me to do?" She glanced at Angelet who was sitting on the side sofa, and then at the smiling Adolf. Close the door softly.
"Angri, do you think Sophia is beautiful?" Adolf asked.
Angelet was taken aback, then looked at Sophia.
This senior sister, who was almost twenty years old, had a delicate face and gave off a quiet and gentle feeling. Wearing a red body-fitting dress. She has curly hair with brown shawls, and her figure is uneven and extremely well-proportioned. The bare arms and neck skin was white.
