Chapter 27 27 Impossible

Chapter 27 27. Impossible

Old Drake looked at the driving crystal core in his hand, and his wrinkled hands repeatedly brushed the surface of the crystal core.

His face, which was as dry and wrinkled as the bark of a tree, gradually showed a look of surprise. It only lasted for a short while, and then he squinted his eyes and curled his lips thoughtfully.

He stood up with a cough, walked around the desk, and came to Andrew.

"What's the name of that magician?"

Andrew quickly stood up and replied: "Lu Yu."

"Strange name." Old Drake commented on Lu Yu's name and asked curiously, "Have you investigated his information?"

"The servants at home learned when he rented a house that he was a noble who traveled here from a very far place."

"The place names he mentioned are all untraceable, and the language he accidentally said when renting a house is also obscure and difficult to understand."

Old Drake coughed violently. He was leaning on a crutch with white hair and hunched over. From behind, he was just an old man who was about to be buried.

Andrew saw that Old Drake was coughing so hard, and hurried forward to support him.

"Master, I failed to find the right herbs for you to regulate your body during this trip to the East..." Andrew's voice became smaller and smaller.

Old Drake patted his hands nonchalantly and smiled gently.

"Regulate... cough cough... what else to regulate."

"No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will wither, and no matter how powerful the beasts are, they will usher in old age... Andrew, I heard that powerful magicians have a way to obtain a new body and welcome a new life..."

Old Drake, who was really struggling to stand, sat on the chair, and Andrew quickly took the blanket to cover his legs.

"I can't do it, a fourth-level magician is too weak."

"Countless adventurers have said that magicians should have ten levels, but I have only reached this level in my entire life."

"Even if there is a power to welcome a new life, I have no chance to master it."

Andrew wanted to say something, but Old Drake was no longer interested in meaningless words such as blessings.

At first, he desperately wanted to find a way to delay the arrival of aging.

As the court magician of the Kingdom of Yas, he used the resources at his disposal to make potions, create magic circles, and try alchemy to shape his body.

He tried every one of them.

His efforts were even assisted by King Yas II, but until the death of King Yas II and his own foot in the loess, he still could not master that skill.

His eyesight faded, his energy waned, and his physical strength declined. At first, Old Drake wanted to fight against this predetermined fate.

He stopped teaching, gave up all his responsibilities, and wholeheartedly wanted to find a way to live longer.

But after repeated failures, the dead-hearted Old Drake compromised.

He reached a reconciliation with his mediocre self.

Maybe there is a solution, but it is not a solution that a fourth-level magician can touch.

No longer resentful or angry, he calmly accepted the fact that the sun would set.

Old Drake waved his hand and stopped talking about his body, but continued to talk about Lu Yu.

"What do you think?"

Andrew hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking out his thoughts.

"Whether it is the description of the servants or my actual impression when I met him, it should be true that he is a noble."

"He should be well educated and behave properly. Although he is a little arrogant, he is not out of line."

"In terms of strength, if this magic-breaking puppet officially starts to work and attacks me, I may die."

Old Drake was very dissatisfied with Andrew's self-deprecation. He snorted and said, "You are already a second-level magician, why are you still so lacking in spirit and confidence!"

"A puppet, a soulless dead thing, even if your magic is useless, your courage is useless. Where is the spirit and wisdom? "

Andrew lowered his head quickly: "Master is right."

"How many times have I told you not to continue to study puppets? You should master more power instead of playing with these toys."

"His Majesty Yas III is about to mobilize troops in the East. This is the biggest opportunity for your Turner family, and it is also the best opportunity for you to master more resources and make greater progress."

"You are not young anymore. Put down your puppets and think about the future of you and your family behind you."

Andrew bit his lip, and the words of defense came to his lips, but he didn't say them.

He didn't respond, but just lowered his head silently, not letting the master see his expression.

Perhaps because he is old, Old Drake's topic always jumps.

After teaching Andrew a lesson, he once again returned to the topic of Lu Yu.

"In the past, there were people who pretended to be nobles and sneaked into the royal city to cheat. "Old Drake mentioned casually.

Andrew was stunned for a long time, looking at his master in surprise.

"Is this something surprising?"

"You know, the identities of traveler and noble have always been the favorite combination of scammers."

"Traveler from afar, hum... If you want to ask how far, then of course it is very far, so far that you don't know how to verify the authenticity."

"The identity of the nobles allows them to have a dialogue with the dignitaries of any place and will not be thrown out."

"There were several such people when you were a child. After being exposed, their fate was to be tied up as human scouts to enter the Goblin's underground palace and help clear mines."

Andrew recalled his brief contact with Lu Yu and subconsciously said: "But I don't think Lu Yu is like..."

The temperament of the nobility cannot be acted out. Put on good clothes for slaves and commoners and let them walk with real nobles. Even if you don't ask them questions, you can see the flaws just by looking at their actions.

What's more, Lu Yu is a magician.

These days, how many slaves and ordinary people can be magicians, let alone magicians who can subdue the magic puppet.

Old Drake sighed and raised his cane to sweep Andrew's calf.

"You believe what he says?"

Old Drake was furious: "Why don't you think about it carefully, where can such a young fourth-level magician come from!"

"Yes, he is right, this puppet has indeed been operated."

"But do you have a way to find out how far this operation has been carried out?"

"Why don't you doubt that they found your puppet and set up a trap to control you and make you his mouthpiece?"

"Andrew, Master will teach you a lesson. When you go to redeem your puppet tomorrow, stay a little longer. He will definitely tell you that he has a travel map drawn by himself."

"Then he will sell the map, cheat the money and leave."

Old Drake said firmly: "Fourth-level magician? He is just a liar waiting for a fool to take the bait."

Andrew was also suspicious of what the master said. Seeing the master waved his hand to let him leave, he bowed respectfully and slowly left the room.

When he left, he could vaguely hear the master muttering.

"Impossible... Impossible..."

Andrew looked at the starry sky and recalled his master's instructions.

"Lu Yu, is he a liar who sells fake maps?"
