Chapter 58 News of Death
The fat wizard nodded: "Well, there's no problem, you can go. ✎{What? You don't know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and google it}"
"What happened?" Herage asked curiously.
"The Green Lodge has launched many attacks on us recently. To ensure safety, all wizards who enter the woodland must undergo identity checks." The fat wizard explained.
"Is the situation so serious now?" Herage felt that only a few days had passed, and the situation had become more complicated than he imagined.
The fat wizard put away the Faceless Man's bamboo and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Just try not to leave the forest during this period. The forest is still safe. Even if you really want to go out, don't be alone."
"Well, you should take a lot of risks when you are stationed at the inn." Herage felt that the defensive strength of the inn was still a bit lacking.
The fat wizard smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way, the tasks arranged by the forest must be carried out, and I can't escape even if I run away."
Official wizards can at least escape unharmed when encountering danger, but it will be difficult for apprentice wizards like them.
If Green Lodge wanted to attack an inn, it would definitely not send out just a few wizard apprentices.
"Are there any mandatory tasks?" Herage asked.
"Of course! As long as there is an emergency, everyone may be mobilized. You are just a first-class wizard apprentice and are not strong enough, so there is no place for you for the time being. When your strength increases, you will be assigned some tasks. ." The fat wizard explained.
After the two chatted for a while, hell broke out. After getting in the car, Herage took out the runestones and started browsing the tavern. As expected, he saw a lot of discussions about the Green Lodge attack.
"Three first-class wizard apprentices who were digging sleeping mushrooms in Moonlight Forest were killed!"
"I've seen the scene. The body was still hanging on the tree. The people in Green Lodge are too arrogant!"
"In the past few days, there have been more than 20 casualties."
"Why do the people in Green Lodge suddenly seem crazy?"
"It is said that someone has offered a reward, and if one of our third-class wizard apprentices is killed, there will be fifty magic stones."
"Am I so valuable? I almost want to kill myself to collect the reward."
…
Herage continued to browse other posts. Many wizard apprentices who went out on missions had been attacked by the Green Lodge.
"It seems we are not alone. What sources of intelligence should they have, mole?"
Herage realized that Green Lodge should have some special way to obtain intelligence inside Moonlight Grove, otherwise it would not be possible that so many wizard apprentices who went out on missions would be in danger.
He looked at Bessie's chat box, but there was still no message.
After Herage escaped, he sent a message to Bessie asking about their situation, but three days later there was still no reply.
He had a vague feeling in his heart, and he didn't know whether Bessie and the others could escape.
Three days later.
Herage, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. His runestones lit up. He opened the runestones and found the message from Bessie.
"Emma is dead."
When Herag saw the news that it was Bessie, he thought the three of them were safe, but unexpectedly, Emma, a third-class wizard apprentice, died.
"Emma didn't have time to escape to save me..." Bessie then sent another message.
Bessie and Emma had a good relationship, and Herag could imagine how sad she was. After all, it was so difficult for wizards to have a friend.
"Herag, can you take me to see Mr. Larry? I want to entrust him to help me refine the morning and evening potion. I must become a third-class wizard apprentice and a wizard!" Bessie continued.
"No problem, I can take you there tomorrow." Herague had made an appointment with Larry to ask him about some refining precautions for the Dawn Potion tomorrow.
"Thank you, Herrag." Bessie said nothing after sending this message.
Herage continued to click on Larry's chat box and explained the situation to him. Larry readily agreed. After all, business was coming to him and there was no reason to turn him away.
"Deep Blue, calculate how long it will take to complete the last star meditation?"
Recent events have given Herage an increasing sense of urgency, and he is eager to improve his strength. Only with strength can he control his own destiny.
"It's expected to take another thirty-five days."
"Thirty-five days." Herage muttered this time and entered a meditative state.
…
The next day, Herage and Bessie still made an appointment to meet at the Lion Cafe. Locke was also there. It was still the same table, but instead of four people, there were three.
"My condolences." Herage saw that Bessie's eyes were still red.
"I will make those people grieve as well." Bessie's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Bessie, you can't rush revenge..." Seeing that something was wrong with her, Herage tried to persuade her.
Bessie regained her composure and said, "I understand."
Locke said: "It's my fault for failing to protect her."
Bessie shook her head: "No, you tried your best. If it weren't for you, if it weren't for Thousand Needles being full of earth elements, none of us might be able to escape. Locke, you've done a good enough job."
"Let's go, Herage." Bessie stood up and said.
Herage brought her to Larry's place, and this time it was Larry who opened the door himself and greeted them both.
"I heard about Miss Emma, and I'm really sorry. I still remember how young and lively she was when she was in my class." Larry said with regret.
"Thank you Mr. Larry for remembering her." Bessie's mood became a little lower again.
"Back to the topic, the commission fee for the morning and dusk potion is one hundred magic stones. Miss Bessie should know that, right?" Larry said and poured a cup of coffee for each of them.
"I'm ready." Bessie looked like she was not short of money.
"One hundred magic stones..." Herage thought that it would be too profitable to help refine magic potions. It was indeed a profession where the initial investment was large and the rewards were large later.
Larry leaned next to the table, looked down at Bessie and said: "One more thing I want to remind Miss Bessie, promotion must be started after your spirit and emotion have completely stabilized. Drinking magic potion rashly to promote will have very serious consequences. Horrible consequences.”
"Thank you, Mr. Larry, for reminding me. I understand." Bessie nodded.
"Okay, you only have one set of ingredients for the potion here. To make sure everything is perfect, I will take some extra time to prepare it. Normally, two sets of ingredients are needed, but this time, forget it. I will start refining it in about seven days. The dawn and dusk potion is valid for one month, and Miss Bessie needs to drink the potion within a month to complete her promotion," Larry explained.
"Mr. Laurali!" Bessie saluted.
Larry smiled and said, "Wish me the best and wish you the best."
After Bessie left, Herage stayed to ask some details about the Dawn Potion. Larry answered everything he knew, answered Herage's questions one by one, and also gave some of his own experiences.
He was very optimistic about Herage, especially in terms of potions. Herage could always master every detail very well, which made him very satisfied.
