Chapter 50 Unknown Scroll
Putting down the letter that Master Seda had written long ago but had not yet sent out and would never send out, Gao De was speechless for a long time.

To the apprentices in the medicine garden, Master Seda is an absolute “big villain”, a bad guy, and a violent person.

But for Master Seda, he, like Goder, is just a “victim” who is struggling to reunite with his wife and children.

But now, to Master Seda’s wife and children, Gaode has become the bad guy.

Gao De realized this and felt extremely complicated.

Even though he knew clearly that if he had not resisted at that time, he would be the one dead now.

This is a situation where only one person can survive.

Gaode’s resistance is justified and no one can find fault with it.

But after reading Master Seda’s letter, Gao De still felt reluctant and guilty towards the woman who had been waiting for her husband to come home in Bremen for more than ten years, even though she had never met him.

This is something that runs in our bones and will not be easily erased by a time travel.

Gao De, who had been silent for a long time, finally let out a long sigh.

“It’s right that I killed Master Seda, and it’s also right that I couldn’t bear it. There’s no conflict between the two.”

He no longer hesitated.

Decisively picked up the last thing taken out of the wooden box.

That mysterious scroll that looks like a spell scroll.

The scroll is made of fine animal skin paper, and the edges are lavishly bordered with gold leaf.

The two ends of the scroll are inlaid with two exquisite silver scroll buckles, carved with intricate patterns.

Between the buckles was a thin ribbon of a deep violet, elaborately embroidered with flowing patterns in gold thread.

Gao De untied the ribbon and unfolded the scroll, and a faint fragrance wafted to his face.

That is the aroma brought by the preservative made from special herbs and magical materials, which makes the ink on the scroll remain as vivid as before despite the passage of time.

However, Gao De did not recognize the words written on the scroll.

“It should be some kind of magic text.”

Gao De looked at it carefully and made a judgment.

And in the lower right corner of these magical words, there is an exquisite seal.

The seal is round, and the main pattern is a bird with spread wings standing on an open book.

The feathers of the bird, the faintly visible magic symbols on the book patterns… every detail is lifelike, as if ready to jump out and become reality at any time.

And above the bird is a tiny diamond pattern.

“I don’t know.” Gao De looked at it for a while and confirmed that he didn’t know the origin of the seal.

“It is written in magic words, but it is not a spell scroll.” He had checked it at the first opportunity. The magic words on the scroll did not contain any magical power. They were just used as the most common words.

“The scroll itself is so exquisite, it’s obvious that it cost a lot of money. Could it be a high-level potion recipe?” Goder guessed, “Or maybe some kind of document? After all, it has a special seal on it.”

After studying it carefully for a while and gaining nothing, Gaode finally stopped this time-wasting behavior.

At this point, all the legacy left by Master Seda has been counted:
An apprenticeship manual.

Two books on cultivation methods.

Five spell recipes.

Two complete 0th-level potion recipes and one incomplete 1st-level potion recipe.

Twenty-one letters home.

A scroll of unknown origin
And a full 50 Sean gold coins.

The harvest was so rich that God wanted to do a somersault on the spot. After shaking his fist vigorously to vent his excitement, God opened his cabinet and hid the three potion recipes inside.

This is a treasure, but it is not as difficult to sell as the spell formula. When necessary, you can sell it directly in exchange for a large sum of money.

It is better to put the gold coins in the secret compartment of the bedroom so that you can sleep peacefully at night.

There was no need to pay too much attention to the apprentice manual, the method of cultivation, and the twenty-one letters home, so Gao De put them back into the wooden box.

As for the scroll whose purpose and origin were unknown, Gao De thought about it and felt that he should pay more attention to it, so he finally hid it deep in the cabinet.

After dropping the last drop of green spider venom into the bottle in his hand, the churning liquid gradually calmed down.

A faint gray-green magical light could be seen flashing through the liquid.

The medicine is ready!

“I got two gold coins!” Gao De skillfully packaged the primary spider poison potion he had just prepared in the large medicine bottle.

Although he had just received a huge sum of 50 gold coins, this did not make him swell up and neglect the preparation of a set of primary spider venom potion every day.

One is a long-term profit, the other is a sudden windfall, a one-time deal.

Gaode can still tell the difference between the two.

Unexpected wealth doesn’t come every day.

If you treat windfall as normal income, or even deliberately pursue it, and neglect your original “career”, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Moreover, 50 gold coins may seem like a lot, but if there is no continuous output, with the increasing expenditure of the medicine garden, this so-called “huge sum of money” will be squandered in just half a year.

“From now on, you can eat as much meat as you want to replenish your body, and you can also switch from rye bread to wheat bread as the staple food.”

“Of course, I am the only one who can afford this luxury. After all, this is my personal income.”

Gao De was not worried that his behavior of eating alone would cause dissatisfaction among other apprentices in the medicine garden.

In fact, he has always had this power, but Gao De couldn’t get over it in his heart, so he always ate and drank with his apprentices.

“However, now that we have more money, we can improve the food for the other apprentices in the medicine garden. We don’t need to be as stingy as before.”

“Well, if we give everyone an extra meal every two days, one pound of meat is enough for seven people. One pound of meat costs 7 coppers, which means an extra 9 silvers per month. I can accept that.”

Gao De thought about it in his mind and made a decision.

It’s only been a month since we started eating meat every other day.

Thinking of this, Gao De still felt a little happy.

“We must not forget Pierre’s reminder. We need to prepare more food in the medicine garden. If something really happens, we can either run away directly or use it as backup food. It’s better to be prepared.”

It is a consensus that food prices will rise whenever there are natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Today’s work is over.

After stretching, Gao De couldn’t wait to take out one of the five spell recipes on the table.

[Fire Arrow] (Evocation, Level 0).

“Okay, that’s you.”

Gao De had a deep impression of the flaming arrow.

This is the spell that Master Seda uses to kill the wolf-rats, the underground creatures that invaded the medicine garden. It is also his spell to “seek his own death.”

The power is self-evident.

At least at the level of magic, Gao De believed that [Flame Arrow] was definitely the best in terms of lethality, better than his [Acid Splash].

After all, it is said in “Introduction to Spells”: Among all the spells of all schools, the destructive power of Shaping spells is the strongest.
