Chapter 56 Weird Things in the City
Gaode's life as the owner of the medicine garden finally started to become busy.
The attempt at primary endurance potion will continue for some time.
The spell model of [Blade Protection] was successfully constructed two days after mastering [Reading Magic].
At this point, the number of spells in his spell library has expanded to twelve.
In addition, during this time, he and his apprentices in the medicine garden planted the batch of medicine seedlings he had just bought.
Anyone who has ever been a farmer knows that the early stages of planting any crop are the most troublesome and require careful care.
The same is true for medicinal plant cultivation.
Making nutrient soil before planting seedlings, loosening the soil, planting seedlings, fertilizing, and watering.
After a series of tasks, everyone was very busy.
However, looking at the medicinal seedlings growing vigorously in the medicine field, Gothe still felt a sense of satisfaction lingering in his heart - these seedlings would eventually turn into golden Sean gold coins and enter his pocket.
It was not until the 22nd day of the Green Leaf Month that the second set of basic magic potions was announced to have been consumed, and Gothe took the time to temporarily end his "farmer" life.
Rose Magic Store.
"Are there any basic magic potions for sale?" Like the Youguang Magic Store, they did not put basic magic potions on the counter. Gothe asked the clerk directly.
This time he changed to a potion store.
First, he was afraid that frequent purchases of basic magic potions from the same potion store would attract the attention of interested people.
The second is to ensure that customers will not be "ripped off" by the Youguang Magic Store, although the possibility is very low.
It turns out that the clerk at Youguang Magician did not lie to him.
In Rose Potion Store, the price of a set of basic magic potions is also 6 gold and 10 silver.
Gaode thought for a moment and bought 6 sets directly, costing 39 gold.
If you just buy one or two sets, you have to go to the potion shop every few days, which is not only inconvenient but also wastes time.
After this large expenditure, the cash on hand shrank to 24 gold again.
Spending money is like running water.
It is said that the rich in literature and martial arts are poor, but compared with the mage, they seem to be just like that.
After taking the six sets of basic magic potions packed by the clerk, Gothe noticed a group of city guards hurriedly walking past the street outside the door.
This is not the first time Gaode has seen this scene today.
When he came over, he saw several groups of city guards patrolling with serious expressions.
In the past, the city guards would not be so diligent.
"Is there something big going on in the city? Why are the city guards so busy today?" Gao De asked smoothly.
"Don't you know, guest? Strange things have happened in the city these days!" The clerk heard this and showed a surprised expression.
"Ah?" Gothe frowned and asked: "What's weird?"
"Many people have disappeared inexplicably in the past few days in the city."
Leaving the Rose Magician's Store, Gothe's brows still didn't relax, and he was worried.
Although Hogan City is not as big as the city with a population of one million in the previous life, due to the overall environment, the disappearance of the population is not a strange thing at all.
It shouldn’t cause too much trouble.
There are only two possibilities for the city guards to be so concerned. One is that someone with high status has disappeared, and the other is that the number of missing people has reached a threshold.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is a terrible thing.
After thinking like this, Gothe turned his steps and came to Pierre's Grocery Store again.
When in doubt, go to Pierre.
This little old man is mysterious, and his shop is located in the business district in the center of Hogan City. People come and go all day long. If he doesn't know the inside story, Gaode won't believe it. But these are all secondary reasons.
The main reason is that Pierre is his only "connection" in the world so far.
Inside a grocery store.
“There is a family near the business district, and the whole family has disappeared inexplicably.”
As expected, Pierre is well-informed and knows some inside stories.
"In just one night, he lay at home sleeping, and disappeared the next day."
"The daughter of this family is the cousin of the wife of the city guard captain, so this matter didn't happen Being pressed down."
"It was a good thing if we didn't check, but we found out something was wrong when we checked." At this point, Pierre's voice gradually became quieter.
Gaode quickly approached, "What do you say?"
"It's not just a few families. Over the past half a month, dozens of people from more than a dozen families have been sleeping at home. , the whole family disappeared without a trace at dawn.”
"It's just that the people who disappeared before were all from the civilian area, so no one paid attention to them."
"The city guards went to the scene to investigate. It is said that apart from some slime of unknown origin, there was nothing more. "Nothing was found."
"There is no clue about the identity of the murderer, or whether the missing people are dead or alive, or how they disappeared." At this point, Pierre's expression became serious. .
"I don't know if anyone will be missing tonight. If there are still people, things will be a big deal."
Gaode nodded in agreement.
The city guards made such a big move today, clearly showing a strict investigation posture. If someone is still missing tonight, it will be equivalent to slapping the city guards in the face.
The dare to hit the city guard in the face like this not only proves the murderer's boldness, but also shows the murderer's confidence.
"It depends on what happens tonight." Gao De said.
If nothing happens tonight, everyone can feel at ease.
"Oh, by the way, boss, have you ever heard of Siris Magic Academy?" Since he was already here, Gothe asked casually.
"How come you haven't heard of it?" Pierre did not take Gothe's question seriously and said casually: "This is the Royal Academy of Magic in this country."
"Royal Academy of Magic?!"
"Yes, although there is only such a magic academy in this country," Pierre nodded, and inadvertently revealed another piece of news to Gothe: "If you can enter it and study, you will reach the sky in one step."
“It’s just a magic academy, is it so exaggerated?” Gao De was skeptical.
“That can still be false,” Pierre said firmly: “In addition to the royal family and the children of Xi’an nobles, Sires Magic Academy only recruits students once a year.”
"This time around, although anyone can sign up and there are a lot of applicants, the enrollment requirements of Siris Magic Academy are extremely strict. Without excellent mage talent, it is impossible to be recruited."
< br>“For each enrollment, thirty or forty people pass the examination, which is a lot. In most years, only ten or twenty people will pass the examination and enter Seris Magic Academy.”
"Ninety-nine percent of those who pass the examination and enter the Seris Magic Academy become second-level mages."
"Entering the Seris Magic Academy is equivalent to stepping into the second-level mage with one foot. , what do you mean if this is not a one-step success?" Pierre asked.
Gaode could only nodded silently when he heard this.
In Hogan City, first-level mages are rare, let alone second-level mages. They are absolute masters.
"Then it is located in the royal capital?" Gao De hesitated.
"Of course, where else could the Royal Academy of Magic be located if it were not located in the royal capital?" Pierre became interested and said a few more words: "This was established at the same time as the royal capital of Saint-Sion City. The academy has a history of thousands of years."
"How far is it from Hogan City to Saint Sean City?" Gothe asked reluctantly.
“That’s far away, it should be thousands of kilometers away,” Pierre sighed, and shook his head, “Even I have never been to the city of St. Sien. As a son of the Principality of Sien, It is a great pity that the people cannot see the royal capital of their country.”
