Chapter 138 - Tricking The Enemy (1/2)

Next morning…..

Getting up in the morning, Jason went straight to the alchemy room after doing whatever that need to be done as he ignore Austin once more due to the fact that he always come early. Making his way to the room which the grand elder used to relax when he has nothing doing, jason saw him seating with a frown on his face as he keep on staring at the scrap of the pill that Jason left behind for research.

”Are you still worrying yourself about finding something about that pill” asked Jason seeing how focus the grand elder is with the pill making he unable to notice he is in the room.

”What can I say, it has really gotten into me that i cant find anything about the pill when I am a alchemy” replied the grand elder as he raised his head to look at Jason.

When the raise his head up, Jason was shocked to see that his hair was scattered with some black spot under his eyes which it obvious that he hasn't been sleeping.

”Look old man, I suggest you take some rest and try another time instead of overworking yourself” said Jason in concern.

”Dont worry about me kid, I have done things that are far worst than this back in the days” replied the grand elder with a smile.

”Yeah and that was when you were still young now you are old and weak and what you needed the most is rest before you die out of something like this old man” said Jason.

”Sigh, it seems to me that you still want to continue with your training boy” asked the grand elder with a cunning smile on his face.

”No..no..no grand elder, you can continue with what you are doing” replied Jason as he waved his hands with a awkward smile on his face.

”That is much better, now tell me what do you want from me” asked the grand elder knowing fully well that there is no way Jason will just come to check on him without having problem that he needed his help with.

”Well it is like this, I just can't read the language that was used in this scroll so I decided to bring it to you to see if you might understand the language” replied Jason as he brought out one of the scrolls.

Instead of taking the scroll from Jason, the grand elder just look at him with a twitch look on his face before turning his sight back to the scroll as he begin to observe it and seeing how worn out it look, the grand elder already have an idea of where it came from as he turn his gaze back at Jason.

”How many treasure did you bring out of the ruin”.

”Well if you must know I didn't bring anything good except from the pills and some scrolls which proves to be very difficult for me to read” replied Jason.

After listening to Jason complaint, the grand elder took the scroll from him as he begin to look at the content that was written in the scroll and the more he look, the more the frown on his face deepen and seeing the grand elder in these way, Jason couldn't help but let out a sigh as he said.

”Seem like even you don't understand the language that is writen in there”.

”There seem to be a lot of strange stuff hidden inside the ruin and you just had to bring them out and now i am doubting if your luck is good at all” replied the grand elder as he passed the scroll back to Jason.

”I regretted not taking any weapon instead of all this useless scrolls and pills” grumble Jason as he kept it way.

”I won't say it is useless since the only problem we are having right now is how to translate what is written inside” said the grand elder as he tries to cheer him up.

”Then I guess I have to continue searching for a way to break it down” replied Jason.

”Okay now that it is settled, you can leave now” said the grand elder as he chased Jason off the room.

After leaving the room, Jason went back to do his stuff until it was time for him to head home. After biding fareware to Austin, Jason begin to head home and for weeks Jason has been very observant when ever he is heading home since he don't know who might be watching him. Meanwhile, in a roof not too far from where he was, sat blake who has a straw hat on as he begin to watch him from above.
