The Genius Mage

Chapter 276: Passed in Half the Time

An unnatural look flashed across Audrey’s face. She waved her hand in the air, and Klein appeared, lying quietly on the side.

“It was too dangerous just now, so I temporarily put him in the space. He’s unconscious anyway, so he should be fine,” Audrey explained calmly. The space she was talking about was naturally her pocket.

Kate nodded doubtfully. Although he did not understand how Audrey operated it, there were too many miracles on Audrey’s body, so Kate did not suspect anything.

Klein was still unconscious, so Kate handed the herbs in his hand to Audrey.

“Here are the herbs you want.”

Audrey glanced at them briefly and nodded. “Alright, you stay here and look after him for a while. I’ll go refine the potion.”

After saying that, Audrey walked to the side. The antidote was not difficult to refine. An intermediate alchemist could do it, so it was naturally very easy for Audrey.

She operated the potion for a while and took out a bottle of purple potion.

There were still quite a few herbs left by her side. As an alchemist, her instinct of cherishing herbs made her simply throw them into the otherworldly realm. Perhaps they would be useful in the future.

“Audrey, have you finished refining the potion so quickly?” Seeing Audrey walk back with a relaxed look, Kate was surprised for a moment before he calmed down.

Audrey was so powerful that refining a bottle of antidote was naturally not a problem.

“Yes, I’m done,” Audrey replied softly and handed the potion to Kate, “give it to him to drink.”

“Okay.”

Kate happily accepted it and fed it to Klein. Then, he used his combat aura to investigate Klein’s condition and discovered that the poison had miraculously begun to dissipate.

That bottle of potion was really magical. It seemed like he would have to ask Audrey to prepare a few more bottles in the future.

“This is too magical.”

“It’s nothing. There will be more magical things in the future.” Audrey chuckled. The meaning in her words was hard to fathom. However, she only wanted to give Kate a reminder. In the future, she would make more incredible things happen in this world.

Kate did not understand what she was saying, but he did not delve too deeply into it either. All he could think about was when Klein would wake up.

After all, if he and Audrey were to bring an unconscious person along, it would be very taxing.

However, it was clear that Kate was overthinking it.

This was because after Klein had taken the potion for a while, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Audrey and Kate, he was momentarily dumbfounded.

“What? Are you dumb?” Audrey teased softly.

Klein jumped up and hugged the two of them in excitement. “Audrey! Kate! It’s really you two. I thought I was dreaming or was I hallucinating?”

“Neither,” Audrey snorted and said helplessly.

“That’s great. We actually bumped into each other.” Klein was still immersed in his excitement. “How did you find me?”

“Let’s not talk about that first. Let’s talk about why you were here and how you were poisoned,” Audrey interrupted Klein and said.

Klein frowned slightly. He seemed to still have some lingering fear when he recalled what had happened before he fainted.

“When I was walking in the forest, I met a giant snake. It was too strong. It rolled me up and brought me here. Then, I fainted. Was I poisoned?”

Klein clearly did not know about the poison.

“Yeah, Audrey refined the potion to help you detoxify the poison,” Kate replied from the side.

“Thank you, Audrey. You saved me again,” Klein’s eyes were moved as he spoke sincerely.

Audrey did not take it to heart. In her opinion, she and Klein were teammates. It was only right to help each other. There was no need to thank each other.

At this moment, Audrey was more concerned about why Klein was poisoned.

Since he was not poisoned because he fought with the giant snake, then why was he poisoned? Could it be related to that cave?

“Do you really not know why you were poisoned?” Audrey asked cautiously.

If there was another reason for the poison, it would be even more troublesome.

“Before I fainted, I shouldn’t have been poisoned. I fainted because it knocked me out.” Klein shook his head innocently. He did not understand why Audrey would not let go of this matter.

Hearing this, Audrey responded with a heavy tone. Her blue eyes were filled with a deeper meaning.

Following that, the three of them learned about the progress of the mission. After learning that Klein had also obtained an energy ball, Audrey could not help but feel gratified.

After resting on the spot for a while, the three of them left the desolate land together and continued to search for the energy ball in the forest.

—

“Audrey, be careful!”

This time, they encountered a dragon.

“Ice slash!” Audrey turned around and shot out a stream of sharp combat aura, causing the dragon to be riddled with injuries and unable to fight back.

Since it was just training, Audrey felt that it was not necessary to kill all of the guardian beasts. Therefore, when they were unable to fight back, Audrey would choose to let them go.

As long as they successfully took the energy ball away, it would be fine. The injured guardian beasts could continue to live after undergoing training and adjustment.

“We’ve obtained another energy ball!” Klein and Kate ran over excitedly with joyful smiles on their faces. This was already the tenth energy ball they had obtained.

Of course, the devil training had already reached its seventh day, and half of the time had already passed.

“Mm, keep up the good work,” Audrey replied confidently.

After a round of fighting, the sky turned dark again. The three of them could only find a safe place to rest.

Kate was in charge of setting up the tent, while Klein captured some wild animals. Audrey was in charge of roasting them, and soon, the aroma of the food began to spread. The three of them were already very satisfied to be able to eat such delicious food in the forest.

“I’m full. I’ll go rest first.”

“Alright. Kate and I will take turns keeping watch,” Klein immediately said.

Among the three of them, Audrey was the main force in every fight. Therefore, they decided to let Audrey sleep well at night instead of keeping watch.
