Chapter 529

On the stove in the room, a copper pot was barbecued by the fire. From time to time, white gas came out from the mouth of the pot. The sound of boiling water and the elegant fragrance in the room make people feel more comfortable.

Du Wei saw that the fire was coming. He personally lifted the copper pot and filled a small bowl in front of him with green liquid. The green liquid immediately rose with a strong aroma of medicine and a faint aroma of tea.

Du Wei sighed, picked up the small bowl, first tried the temperature himself, then turned around and said with a smile, "well, old man, it's time to drink medicine again."

On the soft collapse behind him, master Aleck, a nine level mage of the imperial Magic Union, a famous inventor of magic props, and an old madman who is afraid of people in the Magic Union, now languidly shrinks under a blanket.

At the moment, ellick looked haggard and old, not like a strong level 9 strong man, messy hair, pale face, thin outline... His cheek muscles had been completely relaxed, powerless drooping there. All this indicates that the old man has burned the flame of life to the final stage

"Oh, I hate to drink this stuff." Ellick muttered.

Du Wei came over, lifted master Aleck up, fed him half a bowl of medicine, and then said with a smile, "master, do you know? When my brother was eight years old, he was braver than you are now. "

"Oh, yes, but I'm more than 108 years old." Ellie can not be angry to spit out his tongue, it seems that the bitter medicine unbearable: "your brother can live to my age?"

With that, the old mage lay down again: "hell, you made this medicine, how can it taste so bitter... It smells good. But in my mouth, it's terrible

"I'm sorry, old man." Dewey looked at Eric with a smile: "it's medicine, not honey. I can get you a piece of sugar, if you feel bad about it

"Forget it... I'm old. Sugar is not good for my teeth." Ellick muttered. In fact, it's only two years. Ellick seems to be getting a lot older!

His withered cheek shows that his teeth have fallen off a lot... It's amazing. When I first saw this old madman three years ago, he was still standing in the inner courtyard of the magic trade union, catching people everywhere to do experiments for him!

Ellie is old, old fast, weak!

In fact, for a magic master with level 9 strength. More than 100 years old is not a big age. For example, the old master ilness is even older than ellick, but he is still very strong.

The reason why ellick was so weak so early is that he was so absorbed in the research of magic props that he spent almost all his time in the laboratory. Carry out all kinds of terrible and dangerous research.

Over the years, in the laboratory, countless kinds of poisonous and harmful magic potions smell, gas. There are also harmful substances scattered in the air, which seriously corrode master Aleck's health, making him have powerful magic power, but still inevitably damage his body... Therefore, he is weaker than other magicians.

"Open the window, boy. The sun looks good today." Ellick muttered.

Dewey did. He pushed open the window. It was sunny outside. In early spring, some birds from the south are singing. In the corner of the courtyard, some unknown wild flowers begin to bloom.

But, looking back, Dewey saw the old man on the soft collapse. But shrunk

Obviously. Early spring season, not a strong cold. But it has already made the weak master Aleck some unable to resist.

There was a sigh in duvet's heart, but he walked over quietly and put a thick blanket on the old mage's body. Then he looked into Alico's eyes and said, "I'll push you to the yard to have a look?"

This is a manor outside the imperial capital. It's a real estate under the name of Dewey. In fact, he doesn't know how many properties he owns in the imperial capital. It can only be said that little Zac is really a money making machine. Now Duwei's industry in the imperial capital has been run by little Zac, and even Duwei can't count on it.

This manor is located in the northeast of the imperial capital, on the Bank of the Lancang Grand Canal.

The yard is built on a small hillside. Sitting in the yard, the fence in front of the yard is covered with tender green vines. At the foot of the distance, under the hillside, is the Lancang Grand Canal, the famous East-West artery of the Empire.

Looking from afar, some merchant ships are travelling on the river channel at the foot, while in the shallow water near the river bed, teams of trackers are struggling to pull the boat. It seems that they can still vaguely hear the sound of the trumpet from a distance.

This early spring morning, in the bright sunshine, everything seems so vibrant, except for the old man leaning on the soft collapse.

Ellick quietly looked at all the scenery around him.

The mountain, the water, the tree, the flower, the sunshine

The old man's eyes showed an almost greedy taste, as if trying to depict everything deeply into his own eyes

"Not enough..."

Suddenly, Ellie murmured: "it's strange. I always feel that I can't see enough of these things."

Du Wei laughs: "it's very simple. When you get better, I'll take you to the northwest to have a look at the grassland. You can see the boundless green and the snow mountains in the distance. The scenery is wonderful. You'll like it."

Ellie seemed to smile, and then he looked at Dewey calmly: "well, boy, don't comfort me. I know my body... Don't forget, you know a lot about pharmaceutics. I taught you that. "

With that, the old man struggled to sit up. Then murmur bent down slightly, stretched out his thin fingers, and tried to touch the side under the soft collapse. A small white wild flower rose out of the soil.

The delicate white petals gave the old man a strange look in his brow.

Dewey went over with a soft heart. I'm going to help him pick that flower.

"No." But ellick suddenly shook his head. He gently blocked Dewey's hand and said in a low voice, "don't pick it... Once you pick it, it will die."

The old man's words seemed to have a complex taste. His fingers finally reluctantly touched the petals. He gently, gently, gently touched the petals with his fingertips. The smell in his eyes seemed to have a faint yearning. Then he took back his fingers and lay down again.

"Let it live." Ali sighed.

Dewey felt wet in his eyes and coughed. Pretending to turn over, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.

At this time, ellick was lying on the soft floor with his eyes closed. He said with a smile: "boy, you haven't told me how you convinced that old fox of Yago Doug to accept your offer that day? I didn't expect that in the square, he really helped you. "

"It's easy." Dewey said with a smile, "I only said three words to him that day. He agreed. "

"Which three sentences?"

"Well, the first sentence: the magic guild has always been against the church, right?"

"Yes, the magician always hated the sticks."

"Second: if the Regent succeeds to the throne. Then the emperor will call the Pope "Godfather". Would the Magic Union like to see the church so beautiful and arrogant? "

"Well... Of course not, at least not happy."

"The third sentence is: Prince Charles is willing to learn magic knowledge from President Jacques Doug as a teacher."

Master Aleck was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Dewey's face and laughed.

"How interesting! Dewey! You sly guy. In this way, the old God stick in the church lost an emperor's godson, and the chairman of our magic trade union had an emperor's apprentice! This will give the magic guild a chance to beat the church. The old fox will not refuse

Eric thought seriously: "but. Since the royal family does not want the emperor to be the Godson of the Pope, they want the emperor to be the apprentice of the chairman of the Magic Union? "

"It's different." Dewey sighed: "the sticks of the church. There is a desire for power, and the Church always wants to seize more power and power. But the Magic Union is different. The magic trade union has little ambition. The magicians have no desire for secular power. For the royal family, they would rather let the magic trade union grow up than see the church too arrogant. Because the only requirement of the magicians for power is to ensure the privilege of the magicians and their status above the law. In addition, the magic trade union will not pose any threat to the rule of the royal family. "

"That's a good idea." Ellie laughed for a moment, then shut up and stopped talking about it.

After a while, the old man had narrowed his eyes and seemed to be sleepy.

Dewey was relieved. In the bowl of medicine he had just prepared for Aleck, he added some soothing and sleep promoting ingredients. Old master Aleck didn't sleep all night last night... His illness was tormenting his nerves!

Many years later, all kinds of poisonous substances in his body finally broke through a certain critical point. Even the great magician could not suppress the rebellion of all kinds of toxins in his body.

Ellick is very sick, very sick! His heart, his lungs, and his nerves are corroded by the toxin and become fragile. When the disease breaks out, even every breath and every heartbeat will make him endure the pain that ordinary people can't imagine!

But the problem is, ellick, who has a good knowledge of magic potions, refuses to take "ice berry" in surprise!

The reason is that he wants to be conscious at his last moment!

These days, he is using all his waking time to sort out his life's experience of magic research and write them into a book!

So, even when he was in pain, the old man insisted that he would not take the ice berry with analgesic effect! Would rather let the pain torment his aging body. We must also keep a clear mind.

"Dewey..."

Just as Dewey pushed master Aleck back into the room and was about to leave quietly, Aleck suddenly opened his eyes and gave a slightly vague cry.

Du Wei immediately approached and said in a low voice, "do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Promise me a few things."

Du Wei sighed and said with a smile, "you can talk to me when you wake up."

Ellick gave a weak smile: "I'm afraid I'll go to sleep at any time and I won't wake up. You and I both know that this kind of thing is likely to happen. "

Dewey pursed his lips. I didn't take that.

"The book that I've sorted out from my life's research experience has been given to you..." Ellie sighed: "help me send it to your magic society... Let more people share it. You are right. The research achievements of magicians should be brought out for the benefit of more people, instead of hiding them in their own boxes to make them mildewy slowly. "

"Yes, I will study your life experience carefully, and then I will teach more magicians." "I'm going to open a new course in the school of magic," Dewey said with a smile

"And... My two apprentices." Ellie sighed, "I've told them. After I die, let them leave the Magic Union and work for your men. I'm afraid that when I die, they will have no support, and that old guy jago Doug will bully them. If it's under your command. I'm so relieved. "

"Well, I'll make good use of the two magicians." Dewey agreed immediately.

"And..." Erik suddenly tried his best to open his eyes and stare at Dewey, his voice trembling. He seemed to be struggling to support his mind: "I know... The Magic Union is too conservative. But I hope you understand that in fact, many conservative magicians are not bad people. They just stick to the tradition. So, although the magic trade union may be against you in the future, please don't be too hard for the magic trade union in my face... After all. Your teacher and I, master Gandalf, both came from the magic guild. If... If in the future, you have a violent conflict with the magic guild. Boy, I know you are very good. If you use your means, I'm afraid that one day with your ability, you can completely erase this ancient guild from the mainland. But I beg you... To promise me one thing! "

"I..." Dewey immediately understood the imploring meaning in Aleck's eyes. He made a promise without hesitation: "I promise you! Even at the worst. I will let the Magic Union continue to exist! I'll give it a way to live. "

Ellick gave a reassuring smile. He lay down and closed his eyes.

Dewey's going away. Ellick called out again, "Dewey."

Dewey laughed: "well, old man, you have a good sleep. If you have anything else, you can tell me at night."

"No, I think it's more reassuring." Ellie's old face seemed to smile childishly: "I have one last wish. It's about myself."

Dewey nodded and said with a gentle smile, "well, go ahead and I'll help you finish it."

"Er..." the old man's smile suddenly blushed: "in fact, I also have vanity... The school of magic where you worked put the statue of master Gandalf in the first place of the corridor... You said that as long as you are willing to contribute your magic achievements and carry forward the magic civilization... Then, there is also a chance to be made into a statue, Behind master Gandalf, right? "

Du Wei was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that this open-minded old man also had such a childish side. He said with a smile: "don't worry, master, you have made so many contributions to the Academy of magic, and you have also contributed your life experience... I promise, your statue will be placed in the second place of the corridor!"

"Ha ha, I'm very happy." Ellick finally closed his eyes: "I've been engaged in research all my life, but I don't have time to recruit too many apprentices. There are only two incompetent guys, but I haven't learned much from them. However, after my death, my whole life effort can be put in the college, so that more magicians can learn, then I will be at ease. Those younger kids, although no one will call me teacher, but my statue is there, we all know that what they learn is my old man Aleck's stuff... Ha ha, I'm very happy! "

The old man seemed tired. He waved his hand gently: "well, go away, boy, I'm going to sleep..."

"Well, I'll bring you your favorite Pecan in the evening." Dewey whispered with a smile, and then he watched the old man close his eyes and go to sleep, breathing calmly, as if he were a sleeping child.

Dewey's eyes were gentle, then he left the room gently and closed the door.

Master Aleck fell asleep... And, as he had guessed. In the spring of 965, the mainland Magic Union, the Ninth level mage, master Aleck, died in his sleep. He walked peacefully with a smile of satisfaction on his face. Because all his wishes have been given to the boy he trusted. He left without regret. The death of the magician, who devoted his whole life to the study of magic, did not cause a great response, because he was not so famous as Gandalf. Among the people, few people know the name of the great mage who has been hiding in the tower of the Magic Union all the year. However, this master has left countless precious heritages to this continent! All his life, he studied the refining experience of various magic instruments and countless inventions. For example... The flying broom of the air knights, and so on... These precious heritages left by him have brought great changes to the fate of this continent! Just two days after master Aleck's death, Dewey came out of the hallway of the Academy of witchcraft and Wizardry. On the corridor, after the statue of master Gandalf, a new statue was placed. Master Aleck's smile is lifelike under the knife of the sculptor. He is still wearing a dirty and shabby robe with a slovenly beard“ Master Aleck, the mainland nine level magician and master of weapon refining, has made an indelible contribution to the magic civilization of the mainland in his life. The precious magic legacy he left will light up the road of magic for us in countless times in the future Under the statue, this text was written by Dewey himself. Looking at the statue, Dewey felt a little sad. He reached out his hand, gently stroked ellick's beard on the statue, and said in a low voice, "old man, you're really cruel... To be sure, you don't want to wake up after sleeping... But don't worry, I'll do what you want!" With that, Dewey stood in front of master Aleck's statue for a long time. Then, he arranged his clothes, crossed his hands respectfully and quietly, and bowed deeply to the statue. This is a standard wizard's tradition, and the disciple salutes the teacher“ Although I didn't really worship under your door, you taught me a lot. Ellick... Teache
