All-round magician

Chapter 22

"How is your magic perception now?" William, who was full of wine and food, leaned back in the chair, touched his round belly, and finally remembered to care about his apprentice.

"It's nothing, it's still the same." After hesitating for a while, Lan Nuo still didn't tell the truth. In fact, he is now practicing elemental perception, and he always feels that five colored dragons, purple, green, blue, red, and orange, float by and get into his body. Feeling warm in his body, he went back to the room and looked at the flower-shaped jade pendant on his chest. He always felt that the color seemed to be darker, especially the green petals.This is completely different from what is described in the book. The book says that if you perceive the wood element to the wood element, you can smell the breath of the forest. The stronger the mist, the greater the concentration of the mist, but Lan Nuo can't smell anything when sitting in the middle of the grass every day. After half a month of continuous practice, there is no green smoke in his hands. give up.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on William, because it is a very dangerous thing for people without magic elements to practice magic. If you don’t pay attention, you may go crazy, and you will be injured in the slightest, or you will die in the worst case. It's almost like a demon, so William has been reluctant to teach Lannuo magic. In the end, Lannuo threatened and lured him, and he couldn't stand the stalking, so he taught him.Seeing that Lan Nuo had practiced for more than half a month and there was still no improvement, although he was very disappointed, he felt rejoicing in a contradictory way.

After chewing and eating slowly, Lan Nuo finally finished his meal, ignoring William, who was still meditating, he dropped the bowl, picked up the meatballs and went out to do his daily routine - take a walk.

After a walk, Lan Nuo had to take a break to practice Taekwondo.Now he has a full schedule every day, learning magic in the morning, learning about medicine in the afternoon, and practicing taekwondo in the evening.However, taekwondo and magic had little effect. On the other hand, due to the memory of his previous life, his comprehension ability was much better than that of ordinary people. In addition, he also had some understanding of medicine in his previous life, so he learned pharmacy very well. William I often sigh on the side, he is simply a genius in pharmacy, as long as he works hard, he will definitely become a master of pharmacy.These "praises" from William usually go in the left ear and come out in the right ear, and Lan Nuo is completely worried about them. After all, the fate of the family is what he cares about the most, so his desire to become stronger is even more urgent.

"Master William, my young master is ill, go and have a look!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and a two-wheeled carriage was seen galloping from the bamboo forest path in the distance. Before it stopped, the man who drove the car jumped off and ran straight to the bamboo house.

William, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, ran out without even wiping his hands when he heard the sound.

"you are?"

"I am Jim, a servant of the Lord's Mansion. Our young master has had diarrhea since last night. He has invited several therapists and pharmacists in the city, but nothing has worked. Today, he has had diarrhea all day. It is really impossible. We can only Please go and help me out."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get some herbs and I'll be leaving right away." Before he finished speaking, he got into the house.

In less than 2 minutes, he came out, but with his bamboo basket in hand.

"Lano, you stay at home, I may come back very late, you close the door and go to bed early."

"No, I'm going with you, you promised me last time."

"Be obedient, the master is going to do some business and will come back very late, so don't follow him."

"In this barren mountain and wild ridge, there is not a single house for several miles. What should I do if a thief, robber or ferocious beast comes in the middle of the night? My legs are so short, I can't run, and my strength is so weak, I can't beat them." I can't beat..." He wiped his eyes with his sleeve as he spoke.

"Lan Nuo, it's only 5 miles away from the city gate, where are there any ferocious beasts and robbers?"

"What about the thief, can you guarantee that there are no thieves? Well, Uncle Charlie, you are the best for me..."

"Forget it, you come with me too." William took this for a while to be domineering, like a little adult, and for a while to cry, play tricks and play tricks. The apprentice of a child has nothing to do, so he can only comply with his request. Besides, really He doesn't feel at ease even if he is left alone at home.

The child, who was crying to death just now, suddenly smiled, his lips were parted, and the smile spread from the tip of his eyebrows to the end of his eyes.William sighed, and followed the kid again.

The horse ran so fast that the original journey of more than an hour was completed within half an hour.

The carriage stopped beside the stone lion in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion. An old man who looked like a housekeeper stood at the gate, clapping his hands and pacing, looking around from time to time. When he saw them get off the carriage, he immediately ran over happily.

"Master William, you are finally here, come in with me." The little tail behind William, student Lan Nuo was completely ignored.

The group of people just stepped into the gate, and there was a very luxurious carriage parked on a main road with a width of four to five meters inside. The old butler raised the curtain and said to William respectfully: "Master William, please get in the carriage." !"

Lan Nuo couldn't help being dumbfounded, he had to take a carriage in the mansion, this city lord is too rich, and his airs are too big, even more luxurious than Earl Rogge's mansion.Along the way, Lan Nuo wanted to see if the City Lord's Mansion was made of gold and jade, but unfortunately the light was too dim to see anything clearly.

After driving for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and a maid in a white robe hurried forward: "Master Joey, you can come back, the city lord has urged you several times."

The butler led the two of them hurriedly to a small courtyard that was brightly lit and servants were still running around.There is a comfortable and elegant suite in the middle of the small courtyard. A middle-aged man with a sad brow sits beside a round table in the outer room. From time to time, there is the sound of a child crying, accompanied by a woman's whispering and Weep softly.

Before Lan Nuo had time to look at the room, the middle-aged man sitting at the table stood up, put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly to William, and said, "Master William, you are finally here, please look How is Albert's condition?"

William waved his hand and didn't show any politeness to him. He went straight into the inner room and put down the bamboo basket.The woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed, weeping, wiped away her tears as soon as she saw outsiders coming in, and stood on the side of the bed.

William went to the bed, only to see a sallow, haggard child curled up in the quilt, whining from time to time.While William was still looking at him, he immediately got up from the bed and rushed out. The maids seemed to be quite used to this situation. One maid immediately picked up a robe and ran out, and the other picked up a robe. Toilet paper followed suit.

The old city lord spread his hands, pointed with his right hand in the direction where the child ran out, and sighed helplessly: "Well, you have seen it all the time, and you have been tossing around like this for a day and a night, oh..."

The woman next to him also immediately said, "Even my body can't bear it, Mr. William, it's all up to you, old man."

"Master Albert must have had a bad stomach. What has he eaten these days?"

"Two days ago, the weather was hot, and the young master refused to eat. He ate watermelon frozen in the ice cellar every day, couldn't sleep at night, and drank three bowls of rock sugar water." The maid said with a smile.

"How do you servants take care of the young master..." The city mistress got angry when she heard this.

"Shut up, what's the use of talking about it now." The city lord interrupted the castellan's wife's reprimand, and turned to William and asked, "Do you always have a solution?"

William bent down and rummaged through his bamboo basket before raising his head and looking at the city lord: "I have some medicinal herbs for diarrhea here, use them to boil water for Master Albert to drink, and it should be fine in two days."

After he finished speaking, the city lord did not say a word, but the city lord's wife showed embarrassment: "Well, this kid Albert was afraid of drinking medicinal juice since he was a child, and he vomited when he drank it. A pharmacist also prescribed it this morning. As soon as Albert drank it Go down and vomit it all up in less than a minute, just check to see if there are any pills." It turns out that no one can cure the young master's illness, but that no one can make him swallow the medicine obediently, so I just After all, a mere diarrhea would trouble so many people, Lan Nuo murmured to himself.

William frowned, stood up, and said to the old city lord and his wife: "Even if it is processed overnight, the pills will not be ready until tomorrow morning. In addition, because there is still a herb missing, the time for the pills to work may be delayed until tomorrow." Tonight, judging by the current situation of the young city lord, I'm afraid it will be delayed until tomorrow..."

For a while, there was no sound in the room, and everyone was silent.

"I have an idea, the old city lord might as well give it a try." A clear and sweet child's voice sounded.

"Who is this?" The old castellan looked at William suspiciously.

"This is Lan Nuo, my apprentice who has studied pharmacy with me since I was a child." In order to win people's trust, William deliberately lied.

"This..." The old city lord was still a little hesitant. After all, he was really worried about handing over his only son to this kid who hadn't even grown his teeth yet.

"I just need to give me a bottle of wine with the highest concentration in my house, and half a bowl of white sugar. Anyway, these two things are harmless to the human body. You may as well try it. I will go back with the master at night and rush to make pills overnight. If there is no effect tomorrow, there are pills to take, what do you think?"

Just as he was talking, a servant came back carrying the young master who had gone to the toilet.The old city lord looked at his listless and powerless son, gritted his teeth, calmed down, and nodded.

"Joy, tell someone to prepare what Lanno wants."

"Yes." Joey hurried out.

After a while, two maids came in with trays.Lan Nuo unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it. A pungent smell of alcohol gushed out, and it could be seen that the concentration was not low.He poured the wine into a bowl filled with white sugar. As soon as the wine covered the white sugar, he put down the wine bottle, shook the wine in the bowl, waited until the wine had completely soaked into the white sugar, and then picked up the candlestick next to it. Approaching the sloping bowl, there was a "flutter", and a blue flame was already burning on the bowl. After about 2 minutes, he puffed up his cheeks and blew hard, and the flame disappeared with a snap.
