Chapter Seventy-Three: Powerlessness
When Ark arrived at the potion workshop, he found that it was deserted, there were no apprentices, and there were no people outside who had come to buy potions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is very abnormal, you must know that the potion workshop is usually overcrowded, and the pharmacy apprentices are always busy, constantly preparing various healing potions.
However, there were guards outside the apothecary, and when Ark stepped forward, the guards saluted Ark.
"What's going on in the Apothecary?"
This is the first time Ark has seen this deserted potion workshop.
The guard explained to Ark, "Mr. Ark, this is what Master Cologne meant, the potion workshop has been closed for a while, and the apprentices have gone home. ”
"Is it closed for a while?"
Ark nodded thoughtfully, Mr. Cologne should have gotten the news from the front, so he intended to let the apprentices of the potion workshop go home to avoid being hurt in the war.
"Where's the teacher?"
"Master Cologne has been in the lab all the time. ”
Ark nodded, then walked straight into the potion workshop and headed towards the lab.
The apothecary workshop was quiet, except for Ark's unhurried footsteps.
When Ark arrived outside the laboratory, he saw that Mr. Cologne was indeed in the laboratory, but he seemed to be busy with something.
"Teacher. ”
Ark cautiously walked into the lab, knowing that pharmacists don't like to be disturbed when they're busy.
Cologne didn't respond, he was still nervously busy, but Ark didn't say anything more, he knew that Mr. Cologne was busy, he must have known that he was here, but he didn't have time to respond, maybe it was a critical moment when he was dispensing potions.
After half an hour, Cologne was finally busy, but with a hint of regret on his face, it seemed that the potion he had studied had finally failed.
When Cologne turned around and saw Ark, a smile finally appeared on his face: "Ark, you came just in time, I was about to go to you." ”
"Teacher, did you dismiss the potion apprentice and temporarily close the potion workshop?"
Ark asked cautiously.
"Yes, that's what I mean, something has happened recently, and I don't know what will happen to this potion workshop in the future. ”
Cologne seemed to be a little emotional, and his tone also seemed a little lost.
"Teacher, I went to find Senior Brother Tyrone yesterday......"
Before Ark finished speaking, Cologne waved his hand and said, "Tyrone has already told me, I originally wanted to tell you this news during this time, and since you know it, I don't need to inform you again." It's best for you to get out of Cansley City first, you're still young, and you have a lot of hope to reach what I've never been able to achieve in my life. You go to Boulder City first, and then to the capital of the Kingdom of Finnan, and go there to find an old friend of mine, Mr. Mercury, who knows more about spellcasters than I do, and I have already written a letter, you can take it with you and give it to Mr. Mercury when the time comes, and he will understand everything. ”
With that, Cologne took out a letter and handed it to Ark.
"Teacher, aren't you leaving Cansley City?"
Ark had a faint feeling in his heart, why did Mr. Cologne seem to be explaining what was going on?, but he also felt that Mr. Cologne cared for him.
This kind of meticulous care is like a father in a previous life, which makes Ark's heart feel a little touched.
Cologne smiled and said, "Of course I'll leave Cansley, but there are some things that have to be settled before leaving. Don't worry, I haven't lived long enough, and I don't want to die so soon. ”
Cologne seemed to see Ark's concern. However, this did not dispel Ark's worries, Mr. Cologne obviously had a grudge against the wizard Moon of the Wesker Empire, and Cologne stayed in Cansley City, probably for Moon.
For the legendary incomparably evil wizard Moon, Yakko is very worried.
"Teacher, this is the corrosive agent I inadvertently concocted, but unfortunately I can't prepare a large number of copies, I can only prepare more than ten copies, and the teacher will leave five copies, just in case. ”
Ark pulled out five vials of corrosive potion.
There were thirteen copies of this corrosive potion Ark, eleven of which had been prepared before, plus two more that he had inadvertently concocted, so there were thirteen servings in total.
Even if he gave Mr. Cologne five copies, he would still have eight, which was enough.
"Corrosive agents?"
Cologne also seemed curious, so Ark explained the effect of the corrosive agent to Mr. Cologne. And the more Cologne listened, the more amazing he felt, and finally he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really a surprise, I didn't expect you to be able to unexpectedly prepare this potion." In fact, in addition to formulating special potions, our pharmacists can also concoct some strange potions. Some pharmacists specialize in concocting these bizarre potions for use in killing and fighting. ”
"I didn't approve of this before, so I didn't put much effort into it, but Moon is an expert at it, and he has prepared a lot of strange and evil potions, and your corrosive potion may surprise him and give him a taste of the evil effects of strange potions. You should keep these five corrosive potions, the teacher naturally has the means to save his life, not to mention that your corrosive potion is okay to deal with ordinary reformers, but it won't have much effect on Moon. ”
Cologne then returned five vials of corrosive potion to Ark.
Ark looked at Mr. Cologne, he knew that Mr. Cologne was very mysterious, and he was able to break through with the wizard Moon in the first place, and Mr. Cologne must have unknown means. So Ark didn't insist, and put away the five vials of corrosive potions.
"Ark, take your teacher's words to leave Cansley as soon as possible and go to the capital of the Kingdom of Phenan, where you will be able to access more information and knowledge of the spellcaster. No matter what happens, don't look back, go to the capital of the Feinan Kingdom, and you must become a spell caster, this is the teacher's lifelong wish......"
Ark felt the expectation of Mr. Cologne, but his heart was heavy, but he couldn't say anything, and finally had to say goodbye to the teacher, and turned to leave the laboratory.
On the deserted street, Ark glanced back at the potion workshop, he didn't have much time in the potion workshop, but he felt very nostalgic at this time.
"Teacher, you'll be fine. ”
Ark whispered a blessing, and until this moment, he seemed to feel his powerlessness, no matter how many times his physical fitness had improved, or how many corrosive potions he had concocted, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
In the face of the huge torrent of war, his personal strength seems so small.
"Perhaps, only the caster has the ability to protect everything around him......"
Ark gently touched the strange ring on his finger, remembering the incomparably magical spell corrosive mist, if he could truly master this power, even if it was war?
