Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Mage's Mission
The two guards wrapped the body of Jiao Qi on the ground with a piece of cloth and carried it out of the door together, presumably throwing it somewhere to dispose of.
Ye Qing also came out after the two guards went out, and the three of them at the door whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"You're dead, the power of the mage is not what you can imagine, and you can't panic in front of him."
To be honest, hearing this, Ye Qing was really a little worried in his heart, he didn't doubt what the three of them said, this old mage is estimated to be the most powerful existence in this black iron copy, even if it is the leader of the dark army outside the Dark Canyon Fortress, the dark overseer of that leader template may not be able to beat him.
Such a powerful mage, or an old mage who has lived for hundreds of years, has a wisdom as deep as the sea, and it is impossible for him to deceive him with this small means.
It's just that the thing has been done, and he doesn't regret it, so he can't really drink that disgusting thing.
But although he did not regret it, he was still worried about it, so he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with them, and when he walked out of the room, the old servant was walking towards the hall, and he immediately followed.
Entering the hall, there were many elite class students who were busy with their own affairs, and they were all surprised to see him being taken out by the mage servant, and there was also someone on the side who secretly asked Ye Qing what was going on, it seemed that he didn't know what was going on inside.
He was not interested in talking to these so-called elite classes, so he walked to the spiral staircase in the center of the hall without saying anything, and followed.
The old mage was in the laboratory on the fifth floor of the tower, and Ye Qing followed the old servant up one by one, and counted until the fifth floor.
In the middle, he occasionally saw other students, but they were all on the first and second floors, and there were no more students above the third floor, and these students were quite surprised to see him, and most of them asked, but he didn't answer.
All the way to the small hall in the center of the fifth floor of the tower, the spiral staircase of the tower is in the center, but the higher you go, the smaller the hall becomes, and here it is about the size of a small hall on the basement floor.
There were five doors on the side of the small hall, each of which was closed, and the old servant walked to one of them, reached out and gently pulled a rope on the wall, and a crisp bell rang.
The old servant did not pull again, but stood in front of the door and waited.
Ye Qing subconsciously walked behind the old servant when he saw this, and waited like this.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the stone door rumbled open, and an old figure walked out from behind the door.
I don't know what's going on, it's obviously just an old-looking figure, but Ye Qing felt like a giant walking towards him, and a strong pressure rushed towards him.
The old mage was not as tall as him, his face was old, his hair was tied with a rope, and he was wearing a gorgeous robe, not the dirty old man he had imagined.
The old mage glanced at Ye Qing and asked the old servant in a hoarse voice:
"What's going on?"
The old servant turned around and let go of Ye Qing and said to the old mage:
"I found a child who fits your requirements."
??? Ye Qing was a little embarrassed, didn't he let the old mage deal with himself? It doesn't seem like that!
However, that's fine, it's not a bad thing anyway.
The old mage was obviously quite surprised when he heard the old servant's words, and only then did he look at Ye Qing squarely, and two silver rays of light shot out of his eyes.
He immediately felt a powerful threat coming, and subconsciously wanted to turn his head to dodge, but the speed of this silver light was too fast, and as soon as this thought rose in his heart, he had already been hit, and then....
No, he just felt like his eyes had been stabbed, and subconsciously blinked his eyes and it was fine, and he rubbed his hands against Qingqing.
On the contrary, the old mage became interested, glanced Ye Qing up and down, turned around and walked into the room that he had just come out of, and dropped a sentence:
"Come in with me!"
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, and the old servant on the side said to him with a smile:
"Come in, kid, it'll be fine!"
The old servant's smile was genuine, and at least he didn't sense any malice in it, so he nodded and followed.
As soon as he entered, there was a soft rumble from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that the door was closed, and the old servant had not entered.
In this room, as he expected, was the old mage's laboratory, which he had guessed from the old servant who had been ringing the bell for so long, and the result was correct.
As the owner of the tower, the old mage's laboratory was much larger than the one on the basement level, almost four or five large, and the room was well-lit and there was no darkness, which looked very good.
In the center of the room, there are three lines of laboratory tables alone, which are filled with experimental utensils, and they are even more exquisite.
The old mage was now lying on a chair on the far left, that is, behind the experimental table by the door, watching Ye Qing point in front of him with his finger, motioning for him to come and stand here, and said:
"You are lucky, I need to find a disciple, you have the talent to become a mage, now I give you a task, if you can complete it within the specified time, I will accept you as my fifth disciple."
It's straightforward... Ye Qing was a little caught off guard, it was more like a pie in the sky that smashed him unconscious.
Killing his apprentice didn't even mention it... Well, the old mage didn't know about it at all, and the old servant didn't mention it at all, how did he know.
However, looking at the old mage like this, it is estimated that he will not pay attention to it if he knows it, but if he fails to complete this task, it is estimated that he will be punished both, and it may be possible to kill him directly.
Of course, this is a matter for the future, as long as you don't kill yourself now, Ye Qing is not afraid, it's a big deal to return directly, anyway, the main quest is completed, you can return directly, but you can't do it if you return to the follow-up main quest, it's a pity.
In the face of this kind of good thing, of course Ye Qing had to agree, and nodded almost immediately:
"Teacher, please."
The old mage didn't care about his address, that is, he didn't agree or object, but took out a scroll from his robe and threw it to Ye Qing:
"Give you three days to learn the potion above, and then show me a demonstration."
After speaking, he took out a bronze piece and threw it to Ye Qing, saying:
"This is the key to a laboratory on the second floor, where you can study, and in the meantime the materials for the experiment are asked for by the servant, so you can go now."
He took the bronze piece, bowed his head and saluted respectfully, and said:
"I will live up to the expectations of my teachers!"
After saying that, he retreated to the door and turned to leave.
Seeing Ye Qing leave, the old mage waved his hand, and the door slowly closed, but his eyes stayed in the direction he left and muttered:
"Obviously an ordinary person can withstand the impact of my mental power, is there any hidden bloodline?"
The old mage's guess Ye Qing didn't know, but after he walked out of the room with the bronze piece, he immediately waved his hand excitedly.
He originally planned to find an opportunity to release the dark boss on the third floor of the mage tower, but he didn't expect such a twist, so the original plan had to be shelved first to see if he could complete the task.
