Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

There is a fire on the mountain, waiting for me inside.

Playing with fire and peeing on the kang.

Don't bring fire when you go up the mountain, there are evergreen forests and green mountains.

There were countless similar slogans in previous lives.

And like Xu Fang now, a Yan Emperor Palace blew up and killed a monarch, commanders, and generals. All the plants on several hills were burning, and thick black smoke rose into the sky...

It’s decided. You will be responsible for the paradise umbrellas, sewing machines, and college entrance examination papers in the next few years!

The president of the local magic association smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum and took out a piece of Hua Zi from his arms and gave it to him.

"No." Xu Fang declined.

"Too soft to get used to? There's also the Red Flag Canal and the Small Target, which are also pretty good to smoke." said the president.

"No more smoking." Xu Fang looked at the blazing wildfire and said, "How about I put it out for you?"

The president quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, just burn it. Burn the strange trees and ghost forest inside. Then the demon tribe will not grow so fast next year."

There is no such thing as protecting the environment in this world.

There is no such ridiculous talk of protecting wild animals. People would rather the world turn into a steel forest than have most of it occupied by man-eating monsters!

If someone in this world could invent plastic that could prevent the monsters from dying after eating it, he would definitely be a great man who would go down in history!

"Don't worry. Our city is upwind in this season and won't be affected by the smoke. Besides, we still have Anjie. We won't be afraid even if the demons get angry and start a fire." The president said with a smile.

Xu Fang felt relieved.

Sure enough, this world has its own special circumstances.

"Since there is nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Xu Fang said.

The president quickly said, "Eh~~~~~~~That's not right. You killed the snake demon king to help us. If I don't make some arrangements and let others hear it, they will poke my spine!"

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Hey, you have to eat even if you're not hungry. It doesn't matter if you have to follow the rules. I'll ask the canteen to kill a chicken and stew it in a pot. It's delicious. I'll make you a bowl of peas and noodles. You can't walk after you drink it!"

The president's accent was so magical that Xu Fang felt like he was being brainwashed.

Unable to resist the enthusiastic president, he stayed for dinner, and local celebrities, both big and small, came to join him.

Sitting among this group of middle-aged men, Xu Fang inexplicably felt as if he was a college student who was assigned to sit at a table with strange men during a banquet.

······

After a brief pause in Taihang Mountains, Xu Fang continued on his journey.

Ever since he was a junior general, he had enjoyed a special air line. He did not need to report or queue up when crossing the security boundary. He could use his own winged magic tools or mobilize local flying beasts.

Leaving the land and entering the ocean, the view suddenly broadens.

The sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the surface of the desert boat, reflecting a dazzling golden light.

As the speed continues to increase, the wind whistles past your ears, bringing an unprecedented sense of freedom and pleasure.

"Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom~~~"

"If the sea could~~~take away my sorrow~~~"

Singing to the sea is particularly romantic.

Colorless and sharp musical strings flew around in the air, pouring into the water in large quantities. Soon, one backswimming demon after another emerged from the water.

From a distance, it looked like a blood-red carpet under Xu Fang's feet.

Beautiful.

So damn beautiful!

The next stop is the Horqin grassland, where the species living is the grassland wolf tribe, which is said to be a distant relative of the Nanling wolf tribe.

The Nanling Wolf Clan was wiped out by Hua Zhanhong who was passing by a few years ago.

Xu Fang followed suit and caught a wolf demon at random. He used sound magic to imitate its howling voice, and after just a few calls he called out the Wolf King.

The rest of the process is simple.

With the blessing of the hunting goddess's legacy, it didn't matter whether the wolf demon monarch, as huge as a mountain, ran in a straight line or in an S-curve, as he was shot through by an arrow.

The human mages who hurried over were all stunned.

The monarch attacked, and their purple alert wasn't even raised yet, but the enemy had already finished shooting arrows and called it a day?

Finally I saw the disparity in this world...

Strength is something that cannot be envied. All they can do is to press on with the victory and follow up Xu Fang's momentum to wipe out the remaining wolf monsters in one go.

three days later.

It is spring now. The grass on the ground is cute, the cows and sheep eating the grass are cute, the people eating the cows and sheep are cute, and the man-eating monster that is roasted and served on the table is also very cute.

Xu Fang was warmly welcomed by the local people and changed into an outfit that was very grassland-style.

He wore a loose embroidered robe on the upper body and tight breeches on the lower body. He sat cross-legged on the grass and rowed with a small notebook.

The character "正" is complete, which is cause for celebration.

"Xu Junsi." A pretty voice sounded.

Xu Fang raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him wearing a long gown: "It's Narentuoya."

"Xu Junsi, can you remember my name?" Narentuya asked in surprise, her ears turning red with excitement.

She still remembers the scene.

At that time, the sunset was beautiful.

The golden afterglow spread across the boundless grassland, giving this green ocean a layer of dreamy golden glow.

Xu Fang's figure appeared in this magnificent picture. He flew in the afterglow of the setting sun, holding in his hand a ferocious wolf head that was several times larger than him.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze; the sunset, the grassland, and the returning warriors formed an eternal picture in the girl's heart.

The prince in the girl's heart turned into his shape.

Her parents, uncle, and poor but kind neighbors offered fine wine, cattle and sheep to reward the victorious warrior.

Narentuya, on the other hand, was too timid to step forward and could only stretch her body in front of the campfire, giving her best dance to her sweetheart.

————She thought she was just an unknown person, but she didn’t expect Xu Fang to call out her name!

The sudden surprise made the girl feel elated.

"Oh, I remember the names of everyone in the entire grassland." Xu Fang said, "Is the eighth level of mental power a joke to you?"

Narentuoya: “…Ah?”

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just point to someone." Xu Fang said casually, taking a bite of the lamb leg: "This lamb is quite tender, and it's so delicious even without pepper and salt."

"... Please take your time eating."

Narentuya walked back mechanically, cursing Xu Fang in her heart for being unromantic and a straight man all his life.

Xu Fang glanced at her back.

Little girl.

Today is the annual local bonfire party, which has not been held for many years due to the existence of the prairie wolf tribe.

As if to release all the suppressed fear and depression of previous years, the scale of today's conference was unexpectedly large.

People from countless villages across the prairie came, and there were newly set up yurts everywhere.

Xu Fang was also stopped by the enthusiastic people. He had to enjoy this feast to the end.

"Xu Junsi."

A sturdy man with fat all over his body and no visible neck came over, rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "We want to ask you for a prize. Can you give us a few wolf teeth from your trophies?"

"no problem."

Xu Fang said straightforwardly, and directly dragged out a commander-level prairie wolf from the poison space, causing several strong men to step back and gasp.

Looking closer, the visual impact is too strong. The size of this prairie wolf is even more majestic and terrifying than the Winged Wolf in Bo City!

"This wolf head is for you."

Xu Fang stretched out his hand and made a seemingly effortless slash. The sound force of the knife cut off the big head at the root and left it bloody on the ground.

"How can this be so embarrassing..." said the sturdy man.

"It's okay. I'll just keep it to feed the bugs." Xu Fang said with a smile.

Everyone: "!!!"

A little fat guy said subconsciously: "This is really pretentious, I give it full marks."

Snapped!

His father slapped him on the forehead with a palm as big as a palm fan and scolded him, "You are so rude! How can you talk like that?"

"Harm, it's okay."

Xu Fang smiled and said, "He's right. The reason why I practice hard is so that I can show off in the future."

The little fat boy immediately became proud: "Look..."

Before he could finish his words, his father glared at him. He felt aggrieved and shut his mouth, not daring to say anything.

······

Although it was called a bonfire party, it actually started in the morning.

First up were horse racing and horse lassoing, which were not very exciting.

It’s not that the technology is not strong, but mainly because of the existence of the grassland wolf tribe. There are only a few war horses left, and it will look bad if the number cannot be increased.

There is no way around it. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. The great man back then had to fly the plane twice.

In comparison, wrestling is much more exciting. This sport is also called Boke locally.

The two wrestlers were shirtless, with muscles so strong that they looked like they were about to explode, but their steps were extremely flexible and they fought each other with their strong arms.

"it is good!"

"come on!"

Every time one side threw the opponent to the ground, the whole audience would burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

"Hey!"

The victorious wrestler was led to the high platform with the commanding wolf head. When passing by Xu Fang, he suddenly stopped and said respectfully: "Xu Junsi, you are the strongest eagle on the grassland. I want to challenge you!"

Xu Fang was drinking yogurt. Before he could say anything, the old man next to him scolded him harshly: "Batu, you are so insolent!"

"fine."

Xu Fang waved his hand: "Since we are here, we might as well have some fun."

"You want to participate?" The person sitting next to Xu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly: "Why don't you reconsider it?"

It’s not that they’re afraid that Xu Fang will steal the limelight. Just kidding, this event can only be held because they wiped out the Prairie Wolf Tribe. They are the protagonists!

He was mainly afraid that Xu Fang would lose.

These great wizards usually keep magic in their hands, and most of them are not good at this kind of purely physical competition. Especially Batu is tall and strong, his body is big enough to fit Xu Fang!

Xu Fang is their benefactor. If he loses in front of so many people...

Batu is such a tactless guy, I’ll deal with him after the event is over!

Batu was sweating profusely as he was glared at by a group of elders, uncles, and village leaders. Such a big guy stood awkwardly like a primary school student being scolded.

"Come on, let's play."

Xu Fang put his arm around his shoulders: "What are the rules?"

Batu was even more frightened. He swallowed his saliva and said stiffly, "Just pounce, pull, throw, trip. The one who falls first or touches the ground above the knees loses... Xu Junsi, I was rude just now. How about we..."

"Young man, do you think I can't beat you?" Xu Fang said with a smile, "Before I awakened my magic, I learned it from street fighting. I couldn't get close to three or five people."

Batu laughed dryly.

He was already thinking about how to pretend to lose in a more realistic way, so as to get around the issue and make Xu look good in front of everyone.

But he discovered in despair that there was absolutely no way.

With Xu Fang's physique, it's clear that he is no match for me!

If he could travel through time, he would definitely travel back to one minute ago and fight with himself who had lost his mind and was talking nonsense left and right!

With his brain in a daze, Batu stood inside the circle.

The ceremony was completed.

Got into position.

He held the other person's body against his.

Then he flew out by himself.

Batu: “???”

I sat on the ground and looked up at the sky blankly. The sky was so blue, the grass was so soft, and the uncles and aunts who surrounded me were so scary.

"Batu, is there wolf shit in your head?" The village chief's heart was pounding with anger. If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he would have beaten him with his crutch.

This is not the way to release water, this is not the way to fake it!!!

Oh, he just casually flicked the ball and you, a big man weighing more than 200 pounds and as heavy as a slice of pork, flew away. Are you trying to fool me?

"I didn't!" Batu felt very aggrieved. He sat up and returned to the circle to get ready.

Then it flew out again.

"See! I told you!" Batu shouted excitedly while lying on the ground. It was not because he was letting the game go, it was simply because he was not good enough!

"Why are you shouting? It's so embarrassing. Go find someplace to cool down!" The village chief didn't want to see this silly young man for even a moment. He was almost losing face in front of Xu Junsi!

It's getting late.

Elders in long robes played the melodious horse-head fiddle. As the music rose and fell, men, women, old and young on the grassland joined in the dance.

In the center, a blazing bonfire was leaping, and the firelight shone on everyone's face, warm and bright, dispelling the chill on the grassland.

Girls holding flower baskets threw the fresh flowers they picked into the air and danced upwards with the ribbons hanging on the yurts.

Xu Fang did not jump. Instead, he sat on the grass and watched the scene intently. He took out his cell phone and took a picture.

In the photo, everyone is smiling.

It was like he had never experienced the ravages of demons, a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

not far away.

Several girls were giggling and playing like little hens, constantly urging one of them to come forward.

"Don't do that. I, I don't dare."

"What are you afraid of? You're afraid of being eaten up by others. Isn't that better?"

"That's right, look at your mean figure, isn't it just for this moment?"

Narentuoya's cheeks were red: "Okay, stop making trouble!"

She looked at the smiling young man, red clouds crept up to her ears, and her voice became lower: "I am not worthy of him... I just want to be able to look at him quietly."

She knew this from the beginning.

Loving to dream and to move yourself does not mean that you are irrational.

The previous chat had already exhausted all her courage, and she knew in her heart that those burning eyes would not stop on her.

He belongs to everyone, like a shield, protecting everyone. Forcing him to stop will only cause more people to lose their lives.

————This be aesthetic is so cool! Just imagining it makes Narentuoya tearful.

The companions looked at each other.

"Okay, we were just joking."

"Don't be sad, Toya, let's go dance!"

"Yes, yes. In fact, we know in our hearts that you are not worthy of him."

"...If you don't know how to comfort someone, then don't comfort them!"

I don’t know how long we danced or what time we played until the bonfire burned out. Finally, we got up and went back, still feeling unsatisfied.

Xu Fang also set out to leave. Before leaving, he put the meal money on the table as payment for the beef and mutton he had eaten in the past few days.

······

Soaring up into the sky, the first thing that comes into view is a vast grassland with lush green grass. Under the blue sky and white clouds, herds of cattle and sheep are grazing on the fresh grass on the lush pasture that is usually occupied by prairie wolves.

Soon, the outline of the grassland began to blur.

The silver city came into view.

Behind the city, there are endless mountains and winding rivers.

The mountains are undulating, one peak after another, and the rivers are sparkling silver under the sunlight, like silver ribbons flowing through the valleys.

This is Changbai Mountain, the land of demons and treasure hunting.

With treasures, there will naturally be more hunters.

With more hunters, there are naturally more disputes and various difficult conflicts.

In stark contrast to the huge workload is the salary, which is shockingly low. The saddest thing is that with such a low salary there is no place to spend it, and the surrounding area is so desolate.

There is a saying circulating in the Magic Associations of the three northeastern provinces: if you want to scare a staff wizard, you can say this: If you don't do your job well, we will transfer you to the branch association at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Demons can scare children so much that they dare not cry, and the Changbai Mountain Magic Association is enough to make a wizard feel terrified.

Xu Fang’s destination is here.
