noble magician

Although the burning forest raised the surrounding temperature a lot, making it more difficult to spot the flame, it was still not difficult for Lance to identify a fireball from it.

He clenched his fists violently, dodged to avoid the menacing fireball, and began to regret saving the nobleman.

Behind him, Lei Zhe, who had attacked Lance, showed a slightly surprised look, wondering how the other party avoided his spell so lightly.But then he narrowed his eyes, and said loudly with the unique tone of a nobleman when he treated commoners: "Irreverent man, how did you survive to this day!"

Lance had seen many civilian magicians who wanted to defect to the nobles. Some of them successfully achieved their goals, and some of them were used by the nobles and dismissed with one sentence, and then they looked forward to them fulfilling their promises day by day.

The promise made by this nobleman who called himself Roy West—the so-called recommendation—was just empty talk. If he wanted to win the magician under his command, he could show more sincerity.To be honest, the current Lance is not worthy of being bought by others. Lance himself is still conscious of this.

And the behavior of the person in front of him is clearly just trying to be a white wolf with empty hands.He thought that commoner magicians were fools, would they be grateful and dedicated to a word he said casually?

No, in comparison, Lance felt that gold coins were much more reliable.

Lance turned around and looked directly at the difficult nobleman with his eyes reflecting the flames.

"Do you think that what you have done is worthy of my respect?"

Lei Zhe paused when he heard the words, then sneered, and said, "Why, you want to negotiate terms with me for saving me? I'm already overjoyed from the bottom of my heart to let you meet such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right? Even what you want is considered before you make a move, isn't it?"

Lance stared at the other person motionlessly, and he suddenly laughed: "I really feel sorry for you."

His words made Lei Zhe's expression change instantly.

Lance continued: "Could it be that you are surrounded by such people? Otherwise, why do you have such paranoid views? It's just because my performance didn't meet your expectations that I made things difficult for you. I don't expect any reward from you, just In the past, I received a lot of favors from others when performing tasks, so I was willing to do the same thing to repay them. As for the fire here, let’s put it out by yourself, Mr. Noble, it’s so simple.”

The expression on Lei Zhe's face changed several times, as if he was thinking about what to say, when suddenly a familiar voice came over.

"Who did this? It's actually on fire!"

With the sound of this sound, a cold air hit the burning trees.The stubborn flame was unwilling to be extinguished, but couldn't bear the continuous magical support of the other party, and it was gradually annihilated under the spell of freezing hand.

The sorcerer turned his head suddenly, and said in surprise: "Lei Zhe, you are here too, why don't you put out the fire?"

It was Roy who split up with Lei Zhe in front of the woods.

Lei Zhe was at a loss for words for a while, thinking about how to explain to him.Suddenly he remembered something, and when he looked back, he could no longer find the silver-haired boy.

When another magician approached, Lance noticed something, and took advantage of the time when the two recognized each other to divert their attention, he left first, but the title "Lei Zhe" still made him listen is on.

Even the name is fake.

The so-called nobles, it is better to stay away from them, Lance thought.

He shook his head, put this bad incident behind him, looked up at the sky, and planned to take a few more cat tails back.

It was dusk when Lance finished capturing the shadow cat, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell into the woods. Those who didn't turn in the mission to the temple might have to go back.

He originally came to the city today to buy some Frost Licorice, and planned to go back to prepare potions, but he did not expect to come across a suitable mission. Seeing that it was not far away, he decided to participate on the spur of the moment.Compared with going to the Magician's Guild to hand in the quest and then go home, it's closer to go back directly from Duver Woods, so Lance wants to hand in the quest while the people in the temple are still there.

Lance walked out of the woods with his bulging sack, and found that many people had gathered in twos and threes in front of the woods, and all of them were wearing the dark blue uniforms of the Orchid Academy.Lance's footsteps paused, his eyes swept around the crowd, his eyes flickered, and then he walked towards the magician in the temple.

"How did you catch so few? I'm afraid you will fail?"

"Hmph, how can I touch those dirty things? Someone cut off these tails for me."

"Ha! Mine is more than five times yours."

"I heard..."

"What do you want to do after vacation?"

The students of the Orchid College were all talking with their companions, and suddenly saw Lance, a stranger, some of them looked at him curiously and then looked away, while some showed a little disdainful expression after seeing his clothes. Looks come, but no one pays too much attention to him.

Lance went straight to the two people in the temple, put down the heavy sack in his hand, and handed over his identity crystal card.

After seeing the size of the sack, the soldier named Jason first sized Lance's skinny boy several times before counting the number.

Jason's magician companion, the white-robed mage, was also very surprised. A young beginner-level civilian mage actually brought such a considerable number of shadow cat tails. You must know that the apprentice-level noble mage present None of them achieved this result.The magician of the temple had to start to believe what Lance said. He probably really had four years of mission experience.

"You did a good job, young man." The white-robed mage took a few more glances at the identity crystal card in his hand, and then filled out a golden ticket with his own magic imprint on it according to the number of cat tails Lance handed in. past.

"Thank you." Lance stuffed the golden ticket into his pocket and glanced towards home.

"Wait a minute, please." Ganesh, who had been reading a book, came over suddenly and asked, "What's your name?"

Lance was slightly taken aback, and reported his name. He recognized the badge worn by Gagne.

Although Gagne was reading, he also paid attention to the students' movements. After all, he was a teacher, so he naturally noticed Lance.His sudden movement also attracted the attention of the students, and they all looked this way, wondering why their teacher stopped the civilian.

"Your magic is beginner level?"

"Yes." Lance replied briefly, feeling a little uneasy. He also didn't understand what this nobleman wanted to do.

Ganesi thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "It's impossible."

His words stunned everyone present, what does this mean?

Someone blurted out: "Could it be that those tails were stolen?" As soon as he finished speaking, his companion tapped him on the head, and the man patted his head embarrassingly.

"Ah, Lei Zhe and Roy, you are finally back, how many tails did you bring back?"

"Master, I can't catch him even if I go out... come..."

Lei Zhe, who was talking big, suddenly saw Lance standing beside Gagne, and his expression sank again.Roy, who was beside him, sensitively noticed Lei Zhe's changes. There was something wrong with this friend when he was in the woods.

"Judging from what you've gained, I'm afraid your magic has already reached the apprentice level. This is not something a magician at the beginner level can do." Gagne looked away from Lei Zhe, and asked in an almost affirmative tone. Said, "Have you started learning apprentice-level spells?"

Lance hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "No."

"Why don't you learn?"

"Because there are no gold coins to buy magic books." Lance couldn't figure out the mind of the person in front of him, but he didn't think about it if he couldn't figure it out.

His answer made several students present laugh out loud. They didn't even have gold coins to buy magic books. In their opinion, this was indeed a bit funny.

Lei Zhe frowned even tighter. He walked up to Ganesh and called his uncle.

Gagne knocked Lei Zhe on the head with the book in his hand and taught, "You should work harder, Lei Zhe." Then he turned to Lance, "I see, you can go."

If this matter were placed on others, they might be flattered and imaginative, but Lance turned and left calmly.He didn't want to guess the thoughts of the wayward nobles.

Lance walked towards home with easy steps, and in a blink of an eye he forgot the unpleasantness that happened in the woods. Thinking of home, his heart felt warm.

"Today's harvest is good, go buy a bottle of honey bar for Dad."

Gagne and Lei Zhe watched the silver-haired boy leave, and Gagne said to the magician in the temple, "Give me the child's information."

The white-robed mage's eyes flickered after hearing this order, and then sent a letter to the temple to ask for detailed information.

Lei Zhe's pupils shrank, and he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gagne pursed her lips and smiled, shifted her eyes to the other bag on the ground, and said, "You two only caught half of the shadow cats of others. Although there is a difference in experience, it's too bad. Go back and study the battle carefully." Skill."

Lance's home is in a small town, which is a bit remote, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Burning Wind City.Although it was a bit closer to go directly back from Duffer Woods, it was still a relatively long journey.When he reached the town, it was already completely dark, and the night was already a bit late, and many shops were closed, but at this time the tavern was bustling.
