noble magician

Burning Wind City Mage Temple.

In a huge room, there is no piece of furniture placed everywhere, only a giant magic circle is drawn on the ground, its size is almost the same as the room.A dark purple streamer flashed on the magic circle, dyeing the entire room purple.

A young girl sat upright in the center of the magic circle, her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was meditating.The mage's robe tightly wrapped her exquisite figure, her hair was long and dragged to the ground, and it was hard to see what color it was in the dark purple light of the magic circle.

The girl's beautiful brows moved, and she tilted her head slightly, as if she was concentrating on listening to something in a certain direction. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, got up and walked out quickly.

"There's a 'door' opening in the Duver Woods! Please prepare to investigate immediately, fortunately the area is not very large." The girl's voice sounded anxious.It was only after leaving the magic circle that she could see that the mage robe on her body was white.

"Oh, my God! Why is there another one! When is it bad? They are all crowded at this time!" A young man wearing the same series of robes complained loudly, and then called "Jason Jason" to his companions , Said to him, "Let's go to check the situation first, damn it, there must be not enough manpower."

"Just the two of us?" the soldier named Jason asked while holding his shield.

"For the time being, we can only do this for now." The young man responded and ran out quickly, "Bring the horse over—"

While the people in the Magician's Temple were troubled by the door that was about to appear, the shops along the street were still doing their own business as usual.It doesn't matter if there is one door incident or two, for them, as long as it doesn't threaten their own shop, the business must go ahead. People are used to door disasters that happen every few days.

"Please give me ten Frost Licorice Plants." A young man walked into the potion shop and said straight to the point.

He didn't look very old, with silver hair neatly trimmed, a small and sharp chin, with a bit of youthful delicacy, and a pair of silver eyes that made him look a little indifferent.

The young female shopkeeper glanced at the boy, took out a large box from the cabinet, and asked jokingly, "Can you tell me what you use them for? My little Mr. Magician."

Over the past few years, the teenager has bought at least three hundred plants of Frost Licorice in her shop, and the number of purchases is still slowly increasing.The problem is that the output of this material is monopolized by a family, and the price has always been quite expensive, and the boy in front of him...

He was wearing cloth clothes that could not be called very shabby but were definitely old, which did not match his expression and appearance.If you have gold coins to buy frosty licorice, can't you spare some of it for a decent outfit?At the same time, she was also curious about what the silver-haired boy could do with this material.Frost Licorice is a poison and can only be used to craft debuff potions.

The boy seemed a little dissatisfied with the title of the female shopkeeper, he frowned slightly but did not answer, took out a bag of bulging gold coins from his backpack and put it on the counter.The bottom of the bag touched the counter, and the vibration caused caused the gold coins in the bag to collide with each other, making a pleasant sound.

"Okay, okay, I asked more, here, here you are." The female shopkeeper opened the lid of the box, and a chilling air followed. She put on a pair of gloves, counted ten licorice plants and handed them over. past.

Outside the door, two people from the Sorcerer's Temple led their horses past the shop. Both of them were in a hurry, and the mage was still complaining to his companion as he walked.

"How many times is this the first time? Don't you really like the Duffer Forest? Thanks to this, that forest has truly become a place where birds don't shit. If this continues, I can see that the only few trees in the forest The tree is about to disappear! I have applied to the main hall many times, asking them to send us more manpower, but I have been rejected every time..." He was desperately rushing on the road while thinking.

Hearing the voice, the young man turned his head to look at those two people, a thought flashed in his silver eyes.Immediately after he turned his head, a white cloud of air lit up on his right hand, instantly freezing those plants of frosty licorice in a large piece of ice.

The boy wrapped the ice cubes in a cloth and stuffed them into his backpack, and left the potion shop in a few steps.Looking at the direction he was heading, it was actually the same as the two who left in a hurry.

Duffer Woods is located in the east of Scorching Wind City. It is a small forest. Because of the frequent disasters, there is not a single beast in it.

Lance—that is, the boy with silver hair and silver eyes—after hearing the conversation between the two people in the temple in the potion shop, he contacted the recent frequent door disasters and speculated that there might be a mission, so he also came duver woods.He came on foot, not as fast as the two on horseback, so when he arrived, the other party seemed to have completed the investigation.

The mage wearing the white standard robe of the temple held a piece of paper in his hand and was writing something.After finishing writing, he rolled the brown paper into a small roll and stuffed it into the bamboo tube for sending messages.Then his fingers touched a miniature magic circle printed on the body of the cylinder, and a burst of magic power flowed out.The miniature magic circle gained energy, and suddenly lit up with a faint light, and sent the note inside to the letter processing center of the magician's temple.

"Recently, door disasters have occurred frequently not only here, but also in other places. It is estimated that the civilian mages and fighters are also busy. I don't know how many people will be recruited by the mission released this time." He said with some concern.

"Excuse me, is there any mission?" Lance stepped forward and asked.

The white-robed sorcerer glanced back, a little surprised that the young man came so timely.He looked Lance up and down. Seeing that the boy was so young, he couldn't help asking: "There are small shadow cats in the woods, can you handle it? There is only one person?"

The boy nodded without hesitation: "I have been performing missions since I was ten years old, and I have dealt with shadow cats many times."

The white-robed mage didn't seem to believe it. Although at his age, many aristocratic mages could deal with small shadow cats, but judging by the boy's attire, he was obviously a commoner, and the magic aptitude of commoners and nobles was not at the same level.

"Show me your identity crystal card." The white-robed sorcerer asked, this mission requires a sorcerer above the apprentice level, but the actual operation will appropriately relax the conditions, some powerful beginner level The mage is also needed, not to mention that there is a shortage of manpower now.

Lance handed over his identity crystal card, and the white-robed mage injected magic power into the crystal card to check his information. Afterwards, he glanced at Lance and said, "A beginner-level magician?"

"Yes sir, please let me take part in the mission."

The white-robed mage looked at him again and said, "Okay, young man, since you insist, I'll do as you please. Why are we short of manpower now? Go and bring back their tails, ten tails A gold coin. But no one else has come yet, so be careful when you go in alone, they are all tricky little things. Remember, a little life is always more important than a gold coin."

"Understood, sir." Lance responded and went into the woods.

After he went in, not long after, another group of people also came to the outskirts of Duffer Woods.

This group of people were all wearing dark blue mage robes with gold trim. The leader was relatively older, but he was only 27 or [-] years old. He had long straight black hair, and the mage robes he wore were different from the others It's the same color, but the style is a little different.Behind him are all teenagers in the age of fourteen or fifteen, and there are about a dozen of them.

Such a group of people came to the Duffer Forest in a mighty manner, which can be described as a huge force, and they were so uniformly dressed, which naturally attracted the attention of the two people from the temple.

"Are these the mages of Orchid Academy?" the soldier named Jason said with bright eyes.

"Hey, it's really them, and they are all from the noble class. Could it be that they want to try out here? Speaking of which, monsters like small shadow cats are just right for them. If they are in a group of two or three, it should be quite easy. , can also guarantee that there will be no accidents.”

Lan College is very close to Duffer Woods, dark blue is the color of the college, and the group of people are wearing the uniform of the college.Not only that, but only the nobles in the academy wear dark blue robes, while the robes of commoner mages are light blue.

When the white-robed mage saw them, his body, which had been standing casually, immediately straightened up, especially when his eyes swept over the leader, there was an undisguised respect on his face.

Gagne Xizoan, the third in the family, worked in the Orchid Academy because of his enthusiasm for magic research.Gagne has become an expert-level magician at a young age, but now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has reached the threshold of a master-level magician.As expected of the supreme nobleman, this talent is not something ordinary people can have.

In a blink of an eye, people from the Orchid Academy had arrived in front of the white-robed mage.The white-robed mage took the initiative to step forward, bowed and bowed, and greeted Gane: "Hi, honorable mage Xi Zuoan, you brought your students here, do you want them to try in the Duffer Forest?"

The white-robed mage glanced at the family crest pinned to the chest of the black-haired young man, and his heart throbbed.He was born in a small noble family, and he must use honorific titles when facing the highest nobles.

Gagne nodded slightly, without a trace of expression on his face, and said lightly: "I was planning to conduct a trial, but when I saw the task posted on the bulletin board, I made an impromptu decision and brought the students here for a small test. "

The white-robed mage said with a smile: "You came at the right time. We are short of manpower here. There are too many door disasters recently. Although the temple has issued tasks with high rewards, there are still not enough manpower. "

The black-haired youth exchanged a few words with the mage of the temple, and then turned to face his students.

"Two people act in groups, be sure to be careful every step of the way, beware of their sneak attacks, and bring their tails back as a basis for recording results. The main purpose of this trial is to use the skills you have learned proficiently. Don't come out of the woods even when you are falling into the mountains. Also, don't get separated from your teammates, your flamboyant fists and legs are really not enough to look at." Gagne said expressionlessly.

The teacher of the Orchid Academy, Gagne, said the precautions, and although the students below looked solemn, they actually had different expressions, and I don't know if they listened to his words.Some people may be thinking, "Isn't it just a low-level monster, how can it be rare for them to be gifted aristocratic magicians?" Not necessarily.

"Finally, although I don't think it's necessary to say this sentence, I still want to remind you again, don't use fire magic in the woods foolishly. The content of the trial does not include burning the woods. Alright, let's go."

As soon as Gagne finished speaking, the students became commotion and quickly divided into seven groups and entered the forest.And Gagne himself took out a book from the interspatial bag, found a tree nearby, and sat down to read it.

The author has something to say:

The following is a few words of nonsense on the setting of this article, you can read it or not.

The magic system in this article generally refers to the game "The Elder Scrolls [-]", but it is not exactly the same, and I will make changes depending on the situation.The same goes for the occasional enchantments, potions, etc.The plot, background, etc. of this article have nothing to do with this game.

Also, sometimes some in-game items (less often) like Frosted Licorice, like mead.

Finally, please collect it!
