Knocking on the door, Rod gently pushed open the hatch, as soon as he entered, a stale musty smell came to his face, mixed with a strong smell of medicine, Rod looked unchanged, carefully observing everything in the cabin.

The firelight illuminated the interior of the cabin, and the light from the outside world could not penetrate it, and on the simple study chair, scattered with various books, and a huge crucible was erected behind it, with flames burning below, a gray-robed human was standing in front of the crucible, staring at the boiling liquid inside.

Noticing Rod's arrival, the mage turned around, and Rhodes saw his face clearly.

The mage's old and emaciated face had sharp eyes that did not match his age, and his eyes were condensed with the wisdom accumulated over the years, as if he could see everything.

For this kind of look, Rod seemed extremely familiar, not long ago, Rhodes's body also had such a look, and the effect was even more powerful than the mage in front of him.

Under the mage's gaze, Rod's face remained unchanged, and he didn't see any urgency, and he seemed extremely calm for a while.

"Zarien." The mage said in a deep voice, "I don't remember asking you to bring food. ”

Rhodes calmly replied, "It's been a long time since you last ate, so I took it upon myself to ask the crew for food." ”

From the previous crew member, Rhodes got a lot of information, which he could use to cover up his unusual behavior.

Seeing Rhodes answer like this, the mage showed a hint of surprise: "You have a heart. ”

Rod shook his head and said respectfully, "As your apprentice, these are what I should do, I understand that you are obsessed with spells, and you always study spells for many days, and even forget to eat. ”

The mage gave Rhodes a deep look, and then said, "Put the food on the table, you can go out, and come in when I call you." ”

Seeing that the mage said this, Rhodes did not have any superfluous words, and after placing the plate in the spare space on the table, he walked out of the cabin without saying a word.

Coming to the aisle outside, the feeling of gaze that existed on Rhodes still did not disappear, and Rod knew that the mage inside the cabin was still watching his every move at this time.

After discovering this, Rhodes stood in the aisle at the stern of the boat seemingly casually, just looking at the endless ocean, without any superfluous movements for a while.

Soon, the feeling of staring on Rhodes gradually faded, but Rod did not let his guard down because of this, and remained as if the mage was still watching him.

Through a brief encounter with the mage, Rhodes saw a lot of useful information.

Rhodes realizes that the mage's identity should be that of the ship's mage, who is responsible for casting spell assistance in the event of an attack on the ship or a storm to get the creatures on board out of trouble.

Generally speaking, the ship-accompanying mage has a very high status in the crew, especially in the ship sailing in the direction of the unexpected high-incidence sailing, the ship-accompanying mage on it has a considerable right to speak, in the face of a disaster that cannot be fought by manpower, the crew wants to survive, must rely on the strength of the ship-accompanying mage, which also has extremely high requirements for the mage's own ability.

Through his own perception, Rhodes noticed that this mage had the strength of the sixth order, even if he had just entered the sixth order, he could be regarded as a close to the top existence in the magic academy of Bracada.

Judging from the words of the previous crew member, the attitude of the crew towards this mage was not respectful, far less reverent than the awe they had in the face of a high-level mage.

Perhaps for the rest of the crew, they only knew in general terms that the mage was very capable, but it was difficult for them to distinguish whether a mage belonged to the official mage of the fourth order or a high-level mage of the sixth order. Only the existence of the same caster can detect the difference from the strength of mana fluctuations, so as to determine the caster's rank.

In the face of this situation, it is often necessary for the ship mage to find an opportunity to show his own strength, or to make the sky clear when the rainstorm comes, or to separate the huge waves that fall head-on, in exchange for the respect he deserves.

Thinking back to the situation in the room, this mage seemed to be refining potions, and the whole refining process was almost over, which undoubtedly gave Rhodes a lot of thoughts.

Rod, who has a full study of potions, can naturally see the entire potion refining process, although he doesn't understand what kind of potion the mage refines, but in the refining process, Rod is confident that he will not be wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, something suddenly shook in Rod's arms.

Feeling the anomaly coming from in front of him, Rhodes took out the object, only to see that it was the shell that Zarien was carrying that was vibrating.

Knowing that this was how the mage called, Rhodes waited no longer and turned to enter the cabin.

This time, the interior of the cabin was much darker, only the candlelight on the walls was still shining, and the flames under the crucible had been extinguished, and only the residual heat remained.

At the table where the mage was sitting, there was still some food left on the plate, but Rod's focus was clearly not on this, but on the crucible behind him.

Inside the cauldron, the residual heat was emitting outward, but Rhodes could not see the traces of the remaining potions, and the finished potions had obviously been included in the space ring by the mage.

Since all time in the Spatial Ring is static, it is a feasible way to directly put the crude potion into the Spatial Ring, even if it is taken out later, the potion will still maintain the temperature before the income, which is also a method that Potions Masters like to use.

"Take these." Seeing Rhodes enter the cabin, the mage said lightly.

Due to the preciousness of spells, spellcasters who generally have no property and want to learn spells can only choose to become an apprentice of a powerful mage like Zarion in addition to joining a freelance chamber of commerce and finding a way to obtain gold coins.

It is said that it is an apprentice, but the work that the mage apprentice has to do, it also includes the part that belongs to the servant, when he meets a kind mage, the apprentice's treatment is good, and he can learn new spells from time to time, if he meets a grumpy mage, the mage apprentice will inevitably be punished often, and he will not get knowledge for a long time, which is also inevitable.

Bracada's magic academy is also not free to teach magic, and if you want to gain more knowledge, you must rely on the mage's own efforts.

After hearing the mage's command, Rhodes did not rush to clean up the plate at the first time, but asked with some doubts: "Has your potion refining been completed?" ”

At this moment, the mage's face suddenly changed: "Who told you about potions?" I've never taught you this. ”
