Chapter 91: The Road to the Distance (Part I)

Ebolden?

Loren knew even less about this unfamiliar name than Ain Rand, except that it was a coastal free city in the northeast of the Duchy of Lothair, known as the City of Wizards, where almost all wizards completed their studies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

It is also the only place in the entire Sakran Empire where wizards can travel freely without the influence of the Church, and it is also a city of wealth with the largest ocean-going fleet in the entire Empire.

The little wizard used to describe the city as if it were heaven, but Loren was skeptical—if it was that good, why did Abbot Peter have to leave and start a college in the countryside like Wimpal?

Noticing the moment of confusion in Loren's expression, the misunderstood Root Infinit smiled like an elder: "You may not know much about it after you have been in Deepwoodburg for too long, but the rumors about Ebotden have spread almost throughout the empire. ”

"Just a few months ago, a young genius wizard discovered something completely new, using runes and his own recipe to create an incomparable alchemical potion that transcends all conventional knowledge and can cure any known disease!"

Any known disease?" Loren curled the corners of his mouth and sneered disdainfully.

How is it possible that there is a potion in this world that can cure all diseases? Indeed, all alchemical items also need to rely on the power of the void, which is similar to magic.

But in the same way, too powerful alchemy potions, let alone cure diseases, and direct death is not the worst end, and it is also possible to become a fool or be twisted into a ghoul.

"It wasn't until just now that I realized that the mentor actually had a weird sense of humor and was very good at telling bad jokes. Loren pouted: "I didn't expect you to believe this kind of nonsense." ”

In the face of Loren's disdain and cynicism, Rout showed an extremely regretful smile:

"I'm sorry, Lord Loren Turin, but it's true, and the evidence is in front of you. ”

Loren, whose face did not change, stared at him, waiting for him to give the so-called "evidence".

Rout uncovered the caster of his left hand, revealing a long scar. The black-haired wizard's eyes widened suddenly—it wasn't the scar that stunned him, but the middle finger that didn't fit the whole left hand, like brand new!

"I once tried to seize the recipe for this potion, but I was almost caught, and I only managed to grab a vial. The leader of the Night's Watch brought the "caster" back on, and continued in a bland manner, "But just a few drops of potion have restored my left hand, which was split in two!"

"If it weren't for the vaguely palpable power of the void, which convinced me that it was this potion that worked, I would have almost thought it was the Holy Cross's blessing - it would only be a miracle from God to let the limbs that turned into mud grow back?!"

Unbelievable, but with ironclad evidence in front of him, Loren quickly recovers from his surprise and "accepts reality". Rather, he believed that existence was reasonable, and that he couldn't understand it simply because he was still ignorant and hadn't reached the same level as the maker of the potion formula.

What's more, what really matters is not the potion, but why Rutte Infinit wants to get the recipe for the potion.

"Even if this thing really has that god, why do you have to get it?" Loren looked at the other party playfully, "A 'loyal' patriot like you...... Is it going to be handed over to the Empire?"

"That has nothing to do with you. ”

It was still a faint smile, but there was a little coldness in Root's tone: "Your task is to find a way to cooperate with the night watchmen of Eberden, find out the formula for this potion, and if the situation allows, capture this young genius wizard alive as much as possible - no matter what, I want to live." ”

"This kind of thing will definitely be kept in strict care, and you have so much confidence in me?" Loren asked with a chuckle, "As for that genius wizard...... Do you think if I had caught this man, I would have been able to leave Ebolden alive?"

"Your life or death is your business, and my business must be completed - as a wandering knight, since you have already received the deposit, can you still break the contract because you are afraid of death?"

The leader of the Night's Watch taunted him unabashedly, and continued to uncover his bottom lightly, as if he was more familiar with the dark-haired wizard's past than he was himself. It's not a secret, but it's still disgusting to Loren.

Of course, black-haired wizards have their own "hole cards", but no matter which one is not visible. Once discovered, they are either hunted down by the Church or become the "object of study" of some wizards.

But even if Rutte Infinit refuses to say, Loren can more or less guess why he wants it - the hardest thing in the world to guess is what others want, but on the other hand, if you know what he is aiming for, it means that the other person wants you, and you are half the battle.

"What are you thinking?" the alert Root immediately noticed that something was wrong with Loren.

"Nothing, just a question that popped into the pop of mind. Hiding his expression, the black-haired wizard curled the corners of his mouth: "You just said that you agreed to let me join the Night's Watch, so there must be something to prove your identity - badges, rings, cloaks, ......"

"The 'spellcaster' in your left hand is the best proof of this," with a cold snort, Rout threw a fluorite ring to Loren, "It's best not to show this thing in front of others, if you don't want to be recognized." ”

Casually looking at the ring in his hand, Loren quietly put it in his pocket and showed a formulaic smile to Rute Infinit: "This is an honor, I will definitely remember this moment." ”

"You'd better not, because I'll never forget anyone. ”

The leader of the Night's Watch narrowed his golden eyes, his flare-like gaze chilling: "I've kept my promise, and I'm keeping my eyes on it, and I hope you won't disappoint me - I want the recipe for the potion anyway, complete." And I never accept any form of bargaining!

If you can't complete the mission, there is only one fate waiting for you, and none of us should hope for that day, you say?"

"Of course, unlike you, I'm still young, and I still have plenty of time to splurge on. Loren smiled brightly and pushed back the other man's threat: "It's not a good thing to say - but so far, I haven't missed a single shot!"

That's why I believe in you and give you such a generous deposit. Rout picked his right eye: "I will keep my promise to release Dalton Kander and not hurt your friends, please rest assured that you will be on the road."

However, it was a long trip to Ebolden, so do you have any plans or preparations now, and if so, it will give me some 'peace of mind' as an employer. ”

"I'm sorry, but I just accepted your order. The black-haired wizard shrugged, "As an 'old friend' of my mentor, do you have any good advice?"

"Hmm...... I suggest that you disguise yourself as an apprentice who has gone to Eberden to study and find a way to blend in with the wizarding circles there, which should help you a lot and make it easier for you to get in touch with the young genius wizard. ”

As if he was seriously thinking about Loren, Rut Infinit spoke, "Or...... You can also stop by your friend named Isaac Grantham, if you can find him. ”

Loren suddenly had a very bad premonition, especially when the other party spoke in this tone.

"It's just rumors, but it's said that this friend of yours has been missing for a long time, and no one knows where he has gone - maybe he's dead, maybe he's hiding, no one knows. ”

"But since we are friends, I believe that your friendship will definitely bring you back together. Come on, Lord Loren Turin!"

Roote Infinit smiled cruelly, patted Loren on the shoulder, and left the dimly lit hallway.
