Great Elf Sage

In a small town in the southwest of the United Kingdom, Julian got up early in the morning to prepare for the next day's trip. .biquge

"Backpack... dry food... armor... weapons... powders of magic plants and ores... and this 'Knox Staff'."

Julian raised the 'Knox Staff', which was shaped like a weird dagger, and examined it under the morning sun.

The edge of the 'Knox Staff' is slightly translucent, and there is a small sharp 'blade' at the tip.

Julian had always thought it was a strange-looking dagger, but the sage teacher told her that it was a naturally born magic wand.

The sense of déjà vu at this moment made Julian suddenly realize that the experience of the day he met the sage teacher was still vivid in his mind, even though several months had passed, as if it happened yesterday.

From that day on, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes. His identity as a former Knox royal family was exposed, and he became a fugitive wanted by Knox Province. His stable life was gone forever, and he even lost his family. They are all gone...

No, it's just that the house that I used to call 'home' is gone. The real 'home' is in the magic tower in the forest and in my heart.

There was a knock on the door, and Julian, who had already detected the arrival with the "Basic Fire Element Sensing Technique", smiled knowingly.

"Xia Na, after leaving the Magic Tower, it's rare that you get up so early one day!"

The door was pushed open, and Shana, also dressed in adventurer attire, walked in and snorted to Julian:

"Hmph! Don't forget who was on the window sill every day, waiting for some idiot who was late every day to go out!"

"Uh, this..."

Julian reached out and scratched his head, his face a little red.

He was still not used to the way Shana said something serious and embarrassing.

Since she made up her mind to cut off the relationship with her family, Shana seemed to have let go of some kind of shackles all of a sudden, and her personality became stronger and stronger. Julian, who had no talent in emotional intelligence, was simply eaten to death by Shana. Yes, John always shakes his head and chuckles.

Shana's lips curled up slightly. She was very satisfied with Julian's awkward look. This was now her favorite pastime!

However, she did not tease Julian further as usual. This town was already close to the destination of this operation, and it was estimated that she would arrive at noon today.

"Today we are going to the ruins of the capital of the Kingdom of Fama, the Ruins of Siris. There are many homeless criminals gathering there. How are you prepared?"

After hearing this, Julian no longer hesitated and said:

"Everything is ready. The piece of 'Fire Agate Stone' found in the market yesterday has been ground into powder. Together with the magic materials prepared before, it is equipped with a casting medium for casting intermediate magic five times. It should be enough to cope with it. Those wandering criminals in the ruins of Sirius."

"Don't be careless! Although they are rare, there are also intermediate-level extraordinary beings among these wandering criminals. We are all just low-level magicians now. Once we encounter a criminal group led by an intermediate-level person, we will use only five intermediate-level magics. Not too well prepared!"

Since the 'Kailon Incident', Shana has become somewhat sensitive to all possible threats, and Julian is also a little helpless about this.

"Xia Na, have you forgotten that the teacher has helped me perform a 'body strengthening ceremony'. Now my physical fitness is not inferior to that of an intermediate-level melee transcendent. If there is any accident, I will protect you." !”

"……lets go!"

Shana suddenly turned around and rushed out.

Alas, Shana is good at everything, but her unpredictable personality makes her a little troublesome.

"Wait for me, Shana!"

Julian, who didn't understand what was going on, put his bag on his back, inserted the 'Knox Staff' into a leather holster on his waist, and went out to chase Shana.

……

The southwest part of the United Kingdom is the territory of the former Kingdom of Fama. Eighty years ago, this powerful country was torn apart by civil strife and the outbreak of Warcraft. In the end, England took the opportunity to send troops to wipe out and conquer one by one.

Many large cities in the Fama period were destroyed in the wars that year, resulting in a large number of urban ruins remaining in the southwest of the United Kingdom.

Most of these urban ruins have now been turned into slums and become gathering places for refugees and criminals; a small number of them have returned to nature and been re-covered with dense plants, becoming a paradise for wild beasts and magical beasts.

The ruins of Siris, the capital of the Kingdom of Fama, are the largest among them. Due to its large area and some historical issues left over from the annihilation of Fama, the ruins of Siris have formed a strange situation in which most of the ruins are jungles and a small part is slums.

Julian and Shana's destination this time is deep in the jungle area of ​​Siris Ruins.

Before entering the jungle area, they had to pass through the slums and get some information.

After Julian drew his sword and chopped off a stone pillar as thick as a bucket, the two men finally broke free from the greedy sight of pickpockets and criminals and finally found someone who was willing to answer their questions.

"You want to know the location of the Demon Pig's lair?" A tall one-eyed old man opened his remaining left eye wide and looked at Julian and Shana in surprise.

This one-eyed old man is the village chief of a certain village in the slums. He is a rare member of the lawful camp in the slums. He just expressed his intention to answer Julian and Shana's questions.

But after hearing the two people's questions, the village chief hesitated.

"Young people, I can see that you are adventurers. You came to Siris to find the legendary treasures lost deep in the jungle, right? Then I suggest you go to the noble area. There is no need to go to the Demon Pig's Lair. Die!"

Julian smiled and said:

"Mr. Village Chief, I think you have misunderstood. We are not here to find treasure, we are here to divert the demon pig's lair."

"This……"

The village chief was a little embarrassed. This young man had just used an ordinary iron sword to cut off a stone pillar as thick as a bucket. He was obviously very powerful and must have been confident in his own strength.

But the Demon Pig's Lair is not an ordinary Warcraft lair. Many veteran adventurers who pursue glory and fame have died in it. These two young people do not look like they can be more powerful than those veteran adventurers. .

Shana, who had been silent for a long time, was a little impatient. She awakened the spiritual power and the 'Fire Element Sensing Technique' in the sea of ​​consciousness, and recited a mantra in ancient Elf language in a low voice:

"The change of heat and cold in the world is one of the four cornerstones of the existence of all things. The sourceless fire is kindled in my name."

As soon as she finished speaking, a simple red magic spell suddenly appeared in Shana's raised palms. Two fireballs slightly larger than fists ignited out of thin air, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased a little.

One-ring attack magic - small fireball.

The slum dwellers who had been watching the neatly dressed two people around them all recoiled in surprise when they saw this scene.

Shana's forehead was sweating slightly, and she resisted the discomfort of constructing two identical magic spells at the same time. She waved her hand and threw two small fireballs towards a nearby dead tree that was as thick as an adult's waist.

After the small fireball left Shana's hands, it seemed to have eyes. It shot straight towards the dead tree and hit the trunk of the dead tree in the blink of an eye.

Snapped!Snapped!

Two sounds similar to the crackling sound of dry firewood were heard. Two small fireballs exploded after hitting the trunk of the tree. The flames quickly spread to the entire dead tree.

Shana glanced proudly at the slum dwellers who were looking at her in horror, and said:

"We are not risk-takers pursuing money and fame..."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Shana imitated the sage teacher's ups and downs singing tone and said loudly:

"...We are seekers of truth, interpreters of rules, and masters of extraordinary power - magicians!"
