How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Xiao Jian and Long Dong separated after they walked out of the Forest of Life.

Long Dong went to Nanning to inquire about his parents' news, while Xiao Jian returned to the border to continue defending the country.

The hometown of Longdong in Qingyun City, Nanning.

Long Dong stopped in front of a restaurant. He was hungry and wanted to eat.

But Longdong had no money.

The clan leader prepared a space ring for Long Dong. There were some clothes, medicines, magic crystals and other things in it. The only thing missing was money. It was Long Dong's first time going out, so he had no experience. The clan leader said he had prepared everything for Long Dong, but Long Dong did not check it.

This is not the chief's fault. Who dares to charge a dragon for food? The chief was not thoughtful.

Dragons love to sleep in, the kind that can sleep all year round. There is no other way to take care of Long Dong, the clan leader can't refuse. The clan leader hasn't had a good sleep for many years, and has long wanted Long Dong to go out on an adventure. On the surface, the clan leader is reluctant to let Long Dong go on an adventure this time. In fact, he hopes that Long Dong will leave as soon as possible. He is already exhausted.

People were coming and going in the restaurant, but Long Dong was the only one standing at the door.

Waiter: Do you want to eat or not? If not, don’t block the road.

Long Dong was tall and wrapped in a cloak. The waiter couldn't see his face clearly. Long Dong thought for a moment and decided to leave. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Let’s make some money first.

Long Dong was just about to leave when he saw a dirty little girl slipping out of the restaurant.

"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!" another waiter shouted.

The waiter at the door immediately reacted and chased after her. Soon, the little girl was caught up. The two waiters surrounded the little girl and beat her up. The food in her hand was scattered all over the floor.

"You deserve it for stealing." Many passers-by sighed.

The little girl curled up and endured it. The two waiters vented their anger before leaving.

The little girl had a pretty face and a thin body. Looking at the injuries on the little girl's body, Long Dong felt a little sorry for her. Seeing the little girl limping away, Long Dong followed her silently.

Long Dong is a king-level mage. He will not starve to death even if he does not eat. Long Dong saw many beggars begging for food on the roadside. Long Dong felt pity for them, but he could do nothing about it.

The war displaced many people. There was not much Longdong could do.

Long Dong saw the little girl enter a thatched house. There was no one inside, and the house was bare.

The girl put down the remaining food and began to treat the wound with rags.

Long Dong walked into the house. Seeing someone coming in, the little girl was also startled. She thought someone was chasing her and tried to run away in a hurry.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just came to see you," Long Dong said. Long Dong casually released a healing magic.

The little girl's injuries are gradually recovering.

Little girl: "Who are you?"

Long Dong: "I am a mage. My name is Long Dong. I came here to ask you for some information and to help you. What about you?"

Little girl: "My name is Lulu. What do you want to know?"

Longdong and Lulu talked slowly. Longdong wanted to know something about her parents, but she didn't know. She was only nine years old, and she didn't even know much about the massacre. She only knew that after the massacre, many of the survivors in the village moved away.

Her parents died of illness many years ago, and now she is the only one left in her family.

"There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, and the names of some of the people who were massacred are engraved on it. Did any of your family members or friends get killed?" the little girl said.

Long Dong: "I am from your village too. I just escaped a disaster."

Long Dong told the little girl that he was saved by a dragon. The little girl obviously didn't believe it. Dragons haven't appeared for many years. It's hard to believe that a dragon would save a child.

The village is now sparsely populated. The child's parents have passed away, and Lulu can only survive by stealing and doing this.

Little girl: "Can you teach me magic?"

Long Dong: "Sure." Long Dong demonstrated several times. But the little girl was confused. Not everyone has the talent that Long Dong has.

Moreover, Longdong is a good student, but he may not be a good teacher.

Long Dong also went to the village to ask. The villagers only knew that a group of people came and massacred the villagers. They had no idea about other things.

Longdong decided to stay in the village first.
