Chapter 33: Five Hours Later
The cart had just come to a stop in front of the Alchemist guild in Mondis, the town where they were going to switch carts. The door jerked open, and the driver said "What the hell is going on back here?!" Then he saw what was happening, and his anger was replaced with fear. "What's wrong with him?"
"We don't know, go get the Master, and tell him we need an antidote." The driver ran into the guild, and a few minutes later he and a man wearing a red robe came out. "What did he ingest? How was he poisoned?" The master was panicking a little. This was originally supposed to be an easy operation, and he was afraid of what would happen to him if Lake died while he was at his guild office.
"We gave him a sleep potion, and ever since he's been freaking out."
"A regular sleep potion, are you sure it wasn't tampered with?" The master did not want to risk anything if he got it wrong he could make the situation worse. "Yes sir I've had it in my kit for over a year, and unless it was tampered with before the guild gave it to me it should have been fine." In situations like these you had to use the right antidote, and guessing the type of poison could be very difficult.
Gulping the master took a red vial out of his bag and said, "Hold his mouth still we need to make sure to get most of this in his mouth." Joy let go of Lake's shoulder and held his head still; she wasn't too worried about his mouth staying open because he had been screaming for the last few hours. The master poured the red liquid into Lake's mouth. "Let me go Ahhh! ah, ah, ah." It worked almost instantly, and as soon as Lake stopped screaming he passed out. "Looks like it worked, but bring him inside so I can do an examination."
"Alright but try to make it fast, our orders are to get him there as fast as possible, but his safety takes precedent." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"You can take him as soon as I make sure he's stable."
Five hours Later the cart went over a bump, and Lake opened his eyes and tried to say something but no sound came out. "He's up!" He heard Joy shout. "Here Lake, Master Fred told us to give you this after you woke up." Joy handed Lake a green potion to Lake.
"You're not going to have a normal experience. The guild Leader will pull out all the stops for you, I wouldn't be surprised if it only took you a few months, but if you factor in the other jobs that help with alchemy a few years."
"What kind of jobs help with alchemy?"
"Enchanter and Appraiser are the main two everyone tries to learn. Of course those jobs are both Epics so the chances of getting them isn't too good but even one makes you much better at the job, and then all the Mage jobs you can get to buff your intelligence."
"If Enchanter and Appraiser are better jobs, why isn't the guild named after them?"
"The jobs are too rare their guild wouldn't have the manpower, so most Enchanters and Appraisers are split between us and the blacksmiths guild." Lake didn't understand why there were so many different guilds it seemed stupid. "Why not just combine everything into a mage guild?"
"The blacksmiths guild predates ours so I would doubt they would join, but there used to be a Mage guild until recently, there was a schism over Unholy Magic being allowed. All the different magic guilds used to be part of the Mage guild. The Alchemist guild was the most profitable part of the Mage guild so most of the rarer jobs stayed with the Alchemist guild. We also kept the Mage guild headquarters which is where we're going now. You're going to love it, it's almost the size of the rest of the capitol all by itself."
This did sound cool; it was almost like he was about to become a prince. "What's it going to be like for me there?" He wanted to see, before he got his hopes up to much. "You'll be living in Legend spire with the rest of the Legendary skill holders so your life from now on will be luxury. You'll even have servants who will take care of everything for you so you can focus on your studies."
This sounded pretty good to Lake. There was just one thing he was worried about, "Will I be able to leave the guild to look around the capital?" After he asked this he understood this was something they weren't supposed to talk to him about. "It might take a while but eventually, once you're stronger you'll be able to do whatever you want."
Lake had never been treated like royalty before, hopefully he enjoyed it and he was fine staying inside for a few years. Lake felt the cart stop, and realized they were there. "Don't get out, they will just move the whole cart inside; they just have to detach the horse first."
"Oh, okay." all this for him. the amount of effort, and money they had spent on him was crazy. Lake felt the cart start to move again. "Only a few more minutes and you'll meet the leader."
