Volume 1 Rookie Apothecary Chapter 9 Magister Angelina
Emma rolled out of bed in a bit of a daze, awakened by a quick and persistent knock outside the door. He lay on his back and gasped violently for a few breaths, strangely enough that he didn't have a headache as soon as he woke up, and he couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart. If he hadn't been woken up by the knock on the door, he suspected that he would have peeled off his head with a thud in his sleep.
Emma dreamed of an empire called 'Where to Eat', where everyone takes food as their first priority, and the programmatic discourses on eating include 'the people take food as the sky', 'seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea', 'dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slow down the king' and so on. Daily life is full of food words, such as meeting and greeting will ask, 'Have you eaten?' If you are surprised, you will be surprised, if you are unhappy, you will be surprised, and if you are jealous, you will be jealous...... In terms of recipes, they are even more complex, it should be said that except for what they don't want to eat, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, and on their planet, some species are simply eaten by public hazards into protected categories. As for the dishes, not to mention, there are as many as eight large cuisines, and there are countless varieties of small private dishes, and there are also foreign cuisines called 'Western food', 'cuisine' and the like, which are also very distinctive.
It seems that Emma has eaten something else? However, he didn't remember these things very well, after all, they were dreams, vague and fragmented. In his sleep, it was as if someone was going to stuff something into his head, so that even when he was asleep, he felt like his head was going to swell, but this person still suppressed his instinct and didn't let him wake up.
It was dawn outside, and I didn't know what time it was. Emma got up from the ground, and it was Dee Dee who was tapping on the door, and he called Emma's name as he patted it.
Emma got up and patted the dirt on her body, and answered, "Is it Didi?" I'll open the door. ”
When he opened the door, it was Dee Dee and Emma let him in.
"What time is it?" Emma asked.
"Oh, it's just dawn." Didi said apologetically, "Did you disturb your rest?" ”
"Nope." Emma shook her hand and said, "What's the matter?" Coming to me so early in the morning? ”
Didi said, "Our captain wants to invite you over." ”
Emma asked, "Lord Lucia wants to see me?" ”
Didi said: "Yes, last night she asked me to ask you to see her immediately, there should be something very important." ”
Emma said strangely, "Do you know what's going on?" So anxious. ”
Didi said, "I don't know. ”
Emma groaned, "Didi, what did you talk about last night?" ”
Didi said: "It's just to tell you about our visit to the swamp." ”
Last night, probably early this morning, when Didi returned to the station and was about to sneak back into his house to rest, he was discovered by Lucia, who had just finished meditating. So he briefly told Lucia about their exploration of the Moonlight Swamp and the recovery of Palamy's relics. Lucia immediately asked him to invite Emma over at dawn, but Lucia didn't explain the specific reason, only that it was definitely not a bad thing.
Emma said, "How did we get in, did you tell Lord Lucia?" ”
Didi shook his head and said, "No, this is your secret, and I definitely can't say it without your permission." ”
Emma nodded noncommittally and asked, "Have you seen the other companions?" Is there anything new? ”
Didi shook his head and said, "When I went back yesterday, it was too late, and I didn't see anyone else. I saw that the captain was very nervous, so I came over to wait for you before dawn. ”
Emma groaned, it's hard to tell what the matter is, but it's nothing more than the Moonlight Swamp. After going through the matter of the spatial rift, he found that although the path was relatively safe, it was actually not completely without danger, and it might not be of much value, if Lucia wanted it, then it would not hurt to give it a favor. Having made up his mind, he nodded and said, "Then go, wait for me, I'll go take a shower and change clothes." ”
After a while, Emma packed up, and the two of them walked towards the Flying Spider's station.
I didn't go far when an exaggerated voice in the distance shouted, "Hey, Emma~!" Where have you been these two days? I thought you were missing. ”
A fat man staggered over in the distance, who could it be if it wasn't Wo Xiu?
Emma smiled: "Morning, Woxiu, it's rare to see you so early, a fat man who doesn't sleep is not a qualified fat man." ”
Wo Xiu exaggerated and pretended to be aggrieved: "In vain, I care about you so much, and you still laugh at me." Do you know? A spatial crack appeared in the Moonlight Swamp, which is said to be caused by the proximity of the legendary Demon Realm, which is now very dangerous, and few of the warriors who have entered it in the past two days have been able to come out completely. As soon as I heard the news, I came to you, worried that you would go to the Moonlight Swamp to find the moonlight grass, but it turned out that you were not there! ”
Emma's heart was a little warm, and she smiled and gently knocked on Woxiu's shoulder: "Thank you, Woxiu!" But I really went to the Moonlight Swamp in the past two days, and I also picked moonflower grass. ”
Wo Xiu's eyes widened: "This can't be! ”
Emma laughed, "What did I lie to you for?" ”
Wo Xiu stopped, didn't slow down for a moment, and soon, he followed up again, and whispered in Wo Xiu's ear: "Is it an elder in your family who made a move?" Grandmaster or Grand Master? ”
Emma was stunned: "Elders? No? I'm just two of them, nay, this is Mr. Didi, the scout of the Flying Spider Clan. ”
Wo Xiu looked at the two of them in disbelief, and Didi saw him looking at him stunned, nodded with a smile and greeted him.
Emma was amused in her heart, and it was estimated that Woxiu had misunderstood something, and she didn't explain it, after all, it was inconvenient for the public now. He said, "I'm going to meet someone with Didi, or I'll wait for me to come back and talk to you." ”
Wo Xiu nodded absentmindedly.
Emma added, "You are well-informed, can you tell me about the news in the past two days?" ”
Wo Xiu carefully told some important news in the town recently, and the biggest event was the appearance of a spatial crack in the Moonlight Swamp. This is also the reason why Yuehua grass is out of stock, in fact, as early as seven or eight days ago, the Andrew family sent people into the Moonlight Swamp, but they have not returned, and they have no choice but to issue a heavy reward. However, by now, a large number of warriors have folded inside, not to mention picking Yuehua grass, and very few have come back safely. I heard that the Andrew family and the Connery family have already reported to the principality through the magic array, and the archmage has been sent to take charge. The magic of the Osolas Continent is respected, and the magicians are divided very carefully according to the level of strength, and ordinary magicians are from level one to level nine; Above ordinary magicians are the Magus and the Great Magister, which are strong people who have made certain achievements in their own fields; Even more powerful are the magic grandmasters and the great masters, each of whom is a big man who can start a sect; There is also a Dharma Sage above the Grandmaster, and legend has it that he has mastered the law; As for the Fa God, he is the legendary rule-maker, and I don't know if no one has ever reached this realm. If the Principality sends an archmage this time, it is enough to show the seriousness of the matter, after all, there are only 5 archmages in the entire Caiyun Principality. However, this is also understandable, the Moonlight Swamp not only has the strategic resource of Moonlight Grass, but also an important passage connecting the Dark Mountains, which is very important to both the Caiyun Principality and the empire behind it.
After the news was over, Wo Xiu turned his head and said goodbye and went back to Emma's house to wait, the look on his face when he went back was still so unbelievable, and he had no choice but to wait for Emma to come back and explain it in detail.
The two soon arrive at the Flying Spider's station, and Dee Dee walks in with Emma and tells him to wait in a small parlor while he informs Lucia himself.
Soon, Emma saw Lucia and a beautiful middle-aged woman walk in. This beautiful woman has a majestic aura, she is wearing an ice blue mage robe, on the chest of the mage robe is a pale yellow round badge, and in the center of the badge is a hexagonal ice and snow mark, this is a water system of magic masters.
The two sides saluted, and Lucia introduced, "Mr. Emma, this is my teacher Angelina, a water magister. ”
Emma hurriedly stood up again and said respectfully, "I've seen Lord Magister." ”
Angelina nodded faintly and did not speak.
Lucia smiled, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Emma, let's sit down and talk." ”
Emma sat down a little nervously, it was the first time he had seen such a big man, and the strongest person he had usually seen was none other than a sixth-level magician like Lucia.
Lucia said, "First of all, thank you for your help in allowing Didi to recover Palamy's relics. ”
Emma modestly said, "It's nothing. Master Didi is powerful, and I'm just offering a small way to get into the swamp. He had already thought about it before, and the most valuable thing on his body was just this method at present, so he directly pointed out and went around in circles.
Lucia was a little surprised, and looked at Angelina, she said, "So Mr. Emma is willing to share this method?" We need to get to the bottom of the swamp as soon as possible. ”
Emma readily agreed, even if he didn't say it, Dee Dee would reveal it sooner or later, so he explained in detail how to use the pig fruit to control the ooze monster.
After hearing this, Lucia was a little surprised in her eyes, and she said, "It's incredible that it's such a simple method. ”
Angelina shook her head thoughtfully: "The person who discovered this method has great perseverance and wisdom, and it seems to be simple, but it actually takes a lot of time to observe, and it takes a risk to test, which is actually not simple." Moreover, this porcupine, soft mud monster, and moonflower grass turned out to be a symbiotic relationship, and I am afraid that no one has ever noticed it. We don't know enough about the wonders of this world. ”
A sentence popped out of Emma's head inexplicably, and she whispered: "There is an end to this life, and there is no end to knowledge." ”
Angelina glanced at Emma with some surprise, thoughtful.
Lucia laughed, "Mr. Emma has great wisdom. ”
Emma hurriedly shook her hand awkwardly, he suddenly knew that this should be the vernacular of the 'Where to eat' empire, but this empire of unknown origin seems to have a big secret, and he must be careful not to leak it out and cause trouble in the future.
Lucia said: "Emma, you have helped us a lot this time, but I know that you are not short of money, even if we owe these two favors." I guess you can't think of what you need for a while, so why don't you come to us when you need it? We'll be friends from now on. ”
Emma agreed.
Lucia said again: "Didi also told me that you want to give him the 5,000 gold coins and 1,000 gold coins of that Yuehua grass, I don't think it's necessary, the feelings of friends helping each other are more important than gold coins." ”
Emma has nothing to do, but the money really doesn't matter.
Lucia smiled again, "I'll let Didi accompany you from Andrew's side." She winked at Emma and said, "I think you can ask for more." ”
Emma smiled, in fact, he had thought of it when he heard the news of Woxiu just now, but he was not sure if to increase the price, after all, people were real nobles. Now if Didi goes with him, and there is a magister behind him, he can consider it. Lucia should have investigated his background and knew that he was just a rich second generation, and in the eyes of the nobles, he was just a fat sheep.
After thinking about it for a while, Emma responded: "This matter is not in a hurry, there are still a few days before the seven-day deadline, I have to think about it carefully, and I will come to Didi again when the time comes." ”
After thanking Lucia and saying goodbye, Emma returned home alone.
Woxiu was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Emma, he hurriedly pulled him in to hear him tell him about his experience in the moonlit swamp.
Emma showed him the moonlight grass in the Aoki box, and picked out what she could say about the experience in the swamp. Naturally, there is no need to hide the matter of the pig grass and the soft mud monster passage, and the fact that he was unconscious by lightning can't be said, only that there was a small accident and he was delayed for a day.
Finally sending the satisfied Woxiu away, Emma closed the door and sighed, a little tired, but no longer dared to sleep easily, the terrible feeling of the brain bursting in the morning frightened him. Before I figure out the situation, I'm afraid I'm going to be scared.
The ooze monster on the bed lay motionless, and I don't know when it climbed into bed, long before Emma fell out of bed. Looking at it, Emma has a very intimate feeling, as if she is a relative.
Soon Emma's expression changed, what did it smell like in bed? Stinky gutters?
Emma searched carefully, and soon he discovered the source of the smell, under the soft sludge monster, there was a puddle of sludge, which was clearly the mud of the moonlight swamp? No wonder it stinks!
Emma angrily and hatefully dragged the ooze monster out of bed and into the yard. He can't handle it in bed, so he's going to have to find someone to get it. As for the ooze monster, he has to clean it up himself, this guy should have some secrets on him, and it is not suitable for outsiders to see.
