96 The Secret of the Apprentice Pill (2/2)

”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 something 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 time, 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 name. 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 name. 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 extremely 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 some 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 me. 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 moment, he wanted that Oscro still has someone 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 me, 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 me.”

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 someone will believe me. Your method should be more trustful in the eyes of others.”

”There no need of people believing it. This pill is something made by the higher-ups of the Zuatania Merchant Association. No matter what no one will believe it and if it turned public, that would only mean problems for you.”

Yale didn't want to have problems with the merchant 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 confirmed that the Apprentice Pill wasn't the thing his past life wanted to obtain, it was something 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 method. I also don't want to cooperate with someone who crippled himself due to his own foolishness.”
