Chapter 96: The Secret of the Apprentice Pill
The map showed the whole Zuatania Republic.
The Zuatania Republic covered an extensive area, but it was connected to only two other places, one was the ocean which covered most of the surrounding area while the other was the Anpaes Kingdom, which started at the long mountain range which marked the end of the Zuatania Republic.
The map ended at the mountain range which covered the whole area from north to south; the map didn’t contain information for the Anpaes Kingdom or the rest of the continent.
Yale sighed because he didn’t find the Revgen Empire in that map as it wasn’t a neighbor country of the Zuatania Republic.
Julie looked at Yale’s depressed expression.
“You seem disappointed.”
“This map doesn’t contain what I wanted; I will need to look for a better map.”
“A better map? Even I would be unable to get one of those.”
Yale knew that he could do nothing about it. Furthermore, since the Revgen Empire wasn’t a neighbor country, he wouldn’t dare to go with his current strength.
Inside the Zuatania Republic, he would be quite safe with his identity as the founder of an official Company, at least no one would try to harm him openly. However, if he needed to cross the ocean or the Anpaes Empire, his chances of dying would be too high, he couldn’t do it alone.
“I know, thank you.”
“You don’t need to thank , just say that secret about Wyba.”
“This is sothing that even Oscro didn’t know. Wyba isn’t a Frost Wolf; she is a Frost Winged Wolf.”
Julie didn’t seem happy with Yale’s answer.
“Stop joking. A Frost Winged Wolf should have wings while Wyba hasn’t any. Furthermore, find a Frost Winged Wolf is extrely difficult, how would you manage to get such a cub.”
As a fluffy beings lover, Julie had studied a lot about fluffy beasts, and she knew about the Frost Winged Wolfs even if she had never seen one. It was already difficult to believe that Yale had managed to obtain a Frost Wolf cub like Wyba who was cute and obedient because even with her authority she didn’t manage to get any beast which was as lovely as Wyba.
The captured beasts obey her due to the slave contract, but they showed displeasure due to be enslaved so they couldn’t compare with Wyba who was happy to be hugged. After all, Wyba chose to be with Yale; she was his little sister and not his slave, her situation was different than those beasts Julie had bought.
Hearing Yale’s words, Wyba understood his intentions, and she showed her wings.
“Whoa, a pair of wings just grew from her back! She is really a Frost Winged Wolf, but I didn’t know that the wings were possible to hide. I can’t believe you have such good luck.”
Julie started to pat Wyba’s fluffy wings; she was pleased with the exchange of information.
“Rember to don’t say it to anyone, or maybe Wyba’s popularity would grow even more, and Oscro would extend her working hours, decreasing your ti with her.”
Julie nodded, she didn’t plan to tell it to anyone. If she should, she would monopolize Wyba all the ti, of course, she would pay even more than the normal custors, but that would affect Oscro’s marketing strategy of using Wyba to attract people.
“Your piece of information seems more valuable than my map. You can ask sothing else as compensation.”
Julie felt that since Yale didn’t seem happy with the map’s information while she enjoyed Wyba’s secret the deal wasn’t fair and decided to share a bit more of information with Yale as it didn’t require any effort to her.
Yale didn’t dare to ntion the Revgen Empire’s na, so he decided to ask about sothing that was bothering him since he t Oscro.
“Do you have an Apprentice Pill? I want to take a look at one.”
Julie didn’t expect such a request. Her face turned serious.
“I have one in my spatial artifact. However, you are still too young to eat one of those, with your current prowess you won’t need to rely on such a pill to reach Rank 1. Your appearance might fool soone like Oscro, but I can see that you are younger than even if you look like you have my sa age due to probably eating so natural treasures which made you mature faster.”
Yale wasn’t expecting that Julie discovered that he was younger than his appearance, but that wasn’t sothing that would harm him even if everyone discovered it. If that fact were known the Silent Healer fans would probably increase even more.
“I don’t plan to eat it. I only want to take a look at one.”
Julie chuckled after Yale didn’t deny that he was younger than her and then took out an Apprentice Pill which tossed to Yale.
Yale directly appraised it.
“Apprentice Restraining Pill. Can boost the energy of those who are under Rank 1, but after eating it, the chances of reaching Rank 2 will turn into zero.”
There was indeed sothing bad with the Apprentice Pill; the rumors about it were too good to be true. For those who were hopeless to advance it was still a way to live more ti, but eating it would make it impossible to promote further later on, that pill was a trap to anyone who had hopes about becoming powerful in the future.
Apprentice Restraining Pill was the Apprentice Pill’s complete na. The naming was quite obvious as it blocked the path towards the Rank 2 which was also called the Apprentice Rank.
Yale felt that it was strange that a pill that served to reach Rank 1, the Novice Rank, was called Apprentice Pill, so he was interested in appraising one to unveil its secrets, he was skeptical about that seemingly miraculous pill.
However, even if Yale knew that appraisal could reveal its effects, he didn’t know how it obtained the pill’s real na. With the sword, it was normal to have it as it had a clear relationship with his past life and the system could have that information from beforehand, but that pill shouldn’t have any ties with his past life unless those pills existed since his past life’s era.
The fact that such a trap pill could have existed for ages scared Yale, who knows how many talented youngsters had crippled themselves by eating it.
The apprentice stage in swordsmanship or forging had a relationship with the Rank 2, as everyone at that rank would find extrely easy to enter the apprentice stage with weapons or to craft disregarding any Innate Talent.
Of course, they could just enter the stage, progress in it without talent will be difficult unless they increased their realm even more.
“Have you eaten an Apprentice Pill before?”
As Julie have one with her, Yale feared that she had already eaten so of them to boost her power.
“No, I have never eaten any pill to boost my level, natural treasures to improve my body and pills to restore my used energy were enough for . I only bought that pill due to curiosity.”
Yale sighed in relief as he didn’t want Julie to be poisoned by the Apprentice Restraining Pill.
Yale knew that he wouldn’t remain forever in the Zuatania Republic, at that mont, he wanted that Oscro still has soone else to cooperate with him as he would lose Wyba and Yale as companions.
Julie had angered Oscro, but she still praised his skills in business, so Yale hoped both could have a good relationship in the future.
“Listen to , never eat a pill of this kind, nor let anyone you value a bit eat it. I can’t explain it to you, but believe .”
Julie smiled after hearing Yale’s words.
“So, you also discovered the after-effects of the Apprentice Pill. I needed three months of study to discover it with the help of skilled employees, but you have discovered it with only one glance.”
Yale didn’t expect that Julie also knew the truth behind the Apprentice Pill.
“I have a special skill to discover this kind of things, but as I can’t prove anything, I doubt soone will believe . Your thod should be more trustful in the eyes of others.”
“There no need of people believing it. This pill is sothing made by the higher-ups of the Zuatania rchant Association. No matter what no one will believe it and if it turned public, that would only an problems for you.”
Yale didn’t want to have problems with the rchant association so he wouldn’t make that information public, but he didn’t want that the people he knew ate an Apprentice Pill.
Furthermore, he had confird that the Apprentice Pill wasn’t the thing his past life wanted to obtain, it was sothing else, but Yale had no clues about it, he had returned at the start point.
“I know that, but Oscro is decided to eat an Apprentice Pill. I need to convince him to don’t do it.”
Julie sighed.
“I can help you with that, that Oscro is too childish when gets hit in his weak spot, I can force him to not eat it with that thod. I also don’t want to cooperate with soone who crippled himself due to his own foolishness.”
