Chapter 1317 Zarrien 2

Knocking on the door, Rhodes gently pushed open the cabin door. As soon as he entered, a stale musty smell came over his face, mixed with a strong smell of medicine. Rhodes looked unchanged and carefully observed everything in the cabin. .

The fire illuminated the scene inside the cabin, and the outside light could not enter it. On the simple book chair, various classics were scattered and piled up. There was a huge crucible at the back, and there was a flame burning underneath. A man in a gray robe Humans, standing in front of the cauldron, stared at the boiling liquid inside.

Noticing Rhodes' arrival, the mage turned around, and Rhodes saw his face clearly.

On the mage's old and thin face, there are sharp eyes that are not commensurate with his age. The wisdom accumulated over the years is condensed in the eyes, as if he can see everything.

Rhodes is very familiar with this kind of gaze. Not long ago, Rhodes' body also had such gaze, and its effect was even more powerful than that of the mage in front of him.

Under the watchful eyes of the mage, Rhode's face remained unchanged, without any urgency, and he appeared extremely calm for a while.

"Zarien." The mage said in a deep voice, "I don't remember asking you to bring food."

Rhodes replied calmly: "It's been a long time since you last ate, so I took it upon myself to ask the crew for food to deliver."

From the mouth of the previous crew member, Rhodes got a lot of information, which could just be used to cover up his abnormal behavior.

Seeing Rhode's answer, the mage showed a hint of surprise: "You really have a heart."

Rhodes shook his head and said respectfully: "As your apprentice, these are what I should do. I understand your obsession with spells. You always study spells for many days, and even forget to eat."

The mage took a deep look at Rhodes, and then said: "Put the food on the table, you can go out, and come in when I call you."

Seeing what the mage said, Rhodes didn't have any extra words. After placing the dinner plate on the vacant place on the table, he walked out of the cabin without saying a word.

Coming to the aisle outside, the sense of gaze that existed on Rhodes still did not disappear. Rhodes knew that the mage inside the cabin was still watching his every move at this moment.

After discovering this, Rhodes seemed to stand casually on the aisle at the stern, looking at the endless ocean, without any unnecessary actions for a while.

soon,

The sense of gaze that existed on Rhodes gradually disappeared, but Rhodes did not let down his vigilance because of this, and always acted as if the mage was still watching him.

Through brief contact with this mage, Rhodes saw a lot of useful information.

Rhodes realized that the identity of this mage should be the ship mage here, responsible for casting spells to help the ship when the ship encounters an attack or a storm, so that the creatures on board can get out of trouble.

Generally speaking, the ship mage has a very high status among the crew, especially on ships sailing on a course with a high incidence of accidents, the ship mage on board has a considerable right to speak. , if the crew wants to survive, they must rely on the strength of the mage on board, which also has extremely high requirements for the mage's own abilities.

Through his own perception, Rhodes noticed that this mage has the strength of the sixth level. Even if he just entered the sixth level, he can be regarded as close to the top in Bracada's magic academy.

Judging from the words of the previous crew member, the crew's attitude towards the mage was not respectful, far from the awe they had when facing a high-ranking mage.

Perhaps for the other crew members, they just generally know that mages are very capable, but it is difficult for them to distinguish whether a mage belongs to a fourth-level official mage or a sixth-level high-level mage. Only the existence of the same caster can detect the difference in the strength of mana fluctuations, and thus determine the rank of the caster.

Faced with this situation, it is often necessary for the mage on board to find an opportunity to show his own strength, or to clear the sky when the rainstorm is approaching, or to separate the huge waves that are hitting head-on, in order to get the respect he deserves.

Recalling the situation in the room, the mage seemed to be refining potions, and the entire refining process was about to end, which undoubtedly gave Rhodes a lot of thoughts.

Rhodes, who has a lot of research on potions, can naturally see the entire potion refining process. Although he doesn't know what kind of potion the mage is refining, Rhodes is confident that there will be no problems in the refining process. Any misreading.

After thinking for a while, something in Rhodes' arms suddenly vibrated.

Sensing the anomaly coming from in front of him, Rhodes took out the thing, and saw that the one that vibrated was the shell that Zarrien was carrying.

Knowing that this was the way the mage called, Rhodes no longer waited, turned and entered the cabin.

This time, the interior of the cabin was much darker, only the candlelight on the wall was still emitting light, and the flame under the crucible had already been extinguished, leaving only residual heat.

At the table where the mage was sitting, there was still some food left on the plate, but Rhodes' focus was obviously not on this, but in the crucible behind.

Inside the crucible, residual heat was radiating outwards, but Rhodes couldn't see the traces of the potion left. The refined potion had obviously been put into the space ring by the mage.

Since all time in the space ring is static, it is a feasible way to directly store the crude potion in the space ring. Even if it is taken out later, the potion will still maintain the temperature before it was received. This is what the potion master likes. A method used.

"Take these away." Seeing Rhodes entering the cabin, the mage said lightly.

Due to the preciousness of spells, spellcasters who generally do not have any property want to learn spells. Apart from joining the Freelance Chamber of Commerce and finding ways to obtain gold coins, they can only choose to become an apprentice of a powerful mage like Zaarion.

It is said to be an apprentice, but the work that a mage apprentice must do also includes the part that belongs to the servant. When you meet a kind mage, the apprentice is treated well, and you can learn new spells from time to time. If you meet a grumpy mage , Master apprentices will inevitably be punished frequently, and they will not be taught knowledge for a long time, which is also inevitable.

The magic academy in Bracada also does not teach magic for free. If you want to gain more knowledge, you must rely on the efforts of the mage himself.

After hearing the mage's order, Rhodes was not in a hurry to clean up the dinner plate immediately, but asked with some doubts: "Has your potion refining been completed?"

At this moment, the mage's face suddenly changed: "Who told you about the potion? I never taught you this knowledge."
