Chapter 7 Life is like grass
Master Seda's face was ashen. He didn't know whether it was because of Yilan's death, or because of Gothe's calmness after killing people, or both.
"How dare you kill him? You are all my apprentices and my private property. Only I have the right to decide your life and death."
"I know, Gothe nodded, with a look of helplessness on his pale face, and explained: "But he wants me to die, so I have to let him die first."
"After all, I don't want to die yet." When he said this, he raised his head and looked directly into Master Seda's eyes, appearing very sincere.
"If you kill my apprentice without my consent, you are embezzling my property, and you will have to pay with your life." Master Seda looked at Gothe coldly, unmoved.
"It is better to die in the hands of the mage than to die in the hands of this villain," Gothe looked at the stiff corpse on the bed and said, "What's more, he should be the one who really wants to invade you. A man of wealth."
"Elan told me personally yesterday that he wanted me to die. It would be unworthy of me to die, but if it delays your process of developing the potion, it will be a big mistake. "Gao Deyi pointed out
This is the reason why he dared to stab Yilan at night.
Gothe can be sure that no matter what Master Seda thinks about his killing of Elan, and how he will react, he will never really let him pay for it now.
Because at this moment, he has irreplaceable value to Master Seda - he is the only apprentice who has "survived" after testing the medicine so far.
If Master Seda wants to successfully refine the potion as soon as possible, he will definitely use his high virtue for the next trial of the potion
So, before the next trial of the potion, Master Seda will definitely not Let him die.
The next drug test is the Sword of Damocles hanging over Gothe's head, and it is also his gold medal to avoid death.
This is also true.
For Master Seda, who has absolute power and power, after discovering that Yilan died at the hands of Gothe, he did not immediately kill Gothe, but kept talking "nonsense" to Gothe, which means that Gothe is treating him badly. What is valuable is an existence that he cannot directly obliterate now.
The purpose of Gaode does not end there.
He took a breath and spoke to Master Seda again:
"Master Mage, Yilan disobeyed your authority first, I defended myself later, and Yilan he rebelled later. I can do what I have done, and it will not affect my original work. Without him, Master Master, you will not actually lose anything, and you can save a mouth to eat.”
"Self-defense and resistance, haha, you call this self-defense and resistance..."
"A despicable way to fight for power!" After listening to Gothe's words, Master Seda glanced at the "messy" room, seeming to have "understood" everything, and said coldly: "Even if Yilan deserves it, but what? Punishing him is my business, not yours. Your act of stabbing him at night crossed the line.
You tested the potion for me. If my potion was successfully refined, you would have gained a lot. Benefits, I will actually accept you as an apprentice."
"But your cleverness will prevent you from receiving this kind of treatment again."
"You will regret what you did today. "Yes," Master Seda didn't wait for Gothe to react, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out, "From now on, you will do his work, but the only thing you can get is his work."
< br>Obviously, Master Seda knows everything about Gaode's reliance and "what he wants in his heart."
Watching Master Seda leave, Gothe didn't feel any psychological fluctuation at all because of his "threat".
As for what Master Seda said, "After successfully refining the magic potion, you will get a lot of benefits." First of all, Gothe didn't believe that this old fox would be so kind. In addition, he understood that this potion The probability of successful refining is really low.
In the eyes of Master Seda, Gothe still survived after testing the medicine, which meant that he was infinitely close to success.
But the real situation is clear to Gothe: Master Seda is still far from success!
As for the so-called regret for what I did today, that is not worth mentioning.
If he didn't resist, the next time he tried the medicine would be when he died. How could he care about what happened next?
The assassination of Yilan at night this time may seem reckless, but it is actually a well-thought-out move by Gaode.
There are basically no consequences - his situation will not be worse anyway.
But there are many gains: while solving a big trouble, I also make myself mentally prepared for "killing" in advance to adapt to this cannibalistic environment.
The most important thing is that he obtained the freedom to enter and leave the medicine garden that originally belonged to Yilan - only by going out can he have more opportunities to get rid of the current predicament.
As for the inexplicably activated crescent moon gem, it was even more of an unexpected surprise.
Whoosh!
A basin of water washed away the last trace of blood in the room. Gothe reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although Yilan's case has been revealed for the time being, the scene must still be dealt with, otherwise the bloody body will become rotten after a period of time, not to mention the bloody oozing of people.
Master Seda did not appoint anyone to deal with it. As a "murderer", Gothe consciously carried out the finishing touches.
The room has been cleaned.
"His body should be buried in the back mountain," said Amy, who volunteered to stay and help: "The apprentices who tested the medicine before were also buried there."
Gaode Diandian Head, no objection.
One hugged the legs and the other hugged the shoulders, and lifted Yilan's body.
Amy looked at the roommate across from her who should be very familiar with her day and night but now felt strangely unfamiliar. She hesitated for a long time and then whispered to Gothe: "I really didn't expect you to do such a thing."
He. He was a little timid, because after seeing Yilan's death, he instinctively felt a little afraid of Gothe.
Most people are afraid of murderers.
"What would you do if someone wanted to kill you?" Gothe asked.
Amy was stunned and couldn't think of an answer for a moment.
He understood what Gothe meant, but he also knew that he would be at a loss when encountering such a situation, and he would definitely not be able to be as decisive as Gothe.
"Let's go, you lead the way." Seeing Amy's fear of him, Gothe was no longer as cautious as before.
After burying Yilan’s body, Gothe and Amy returned to the medicine garden.
It was also time for the apprentices to have breakfast.
The two of them had been busy for a long time, especially Gao De. They were killing people and burying corpses. They were physically exhausted and were already hungry. They rushed to the restaurant immediately.
When the apprentices in the restaurant saw Gothe come in, the originally noisy environment immediately became quiet, leaving only the sound of chewing.
Seeing Elan's death with their own eyes had a huge impact on these apprentices, who were still technically children.
The apprentices now regard him as a tiger.
Gaode didn't realize it, so he brought a breakfast and found an empty seat to sit down.
He took a big bite of rye bread soaked in pea soup.
The taste is still indescribable, but it is not as hard to swallow as before.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m hungry or something else.
Gothe swallowed his breakfast while reviewing his schedule for today.
Although I killed someone in the middle of the night, I still have to continue working today.
In the morning, he is responsible for cultivating some medicinal herbs in the medicine garden and feeding the little squirrels. In the afternoon, he is responsible for preparing primary spider poison potions, and in the evening, he is practicing.
Day after day, a very fixed and boring schedule.
After taking the last sip of hot pea soup, Gothe stood up, said goodbye to Amy and walked to the backyard.
That is the herb planting area in the garden.
Yesterday, through his roommate Amy, Gothe had a rough impression of the terrain structure and regional distribution of the medicine garden, and he could basically travel to each area independently.
