All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 72: Court Mage
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Gudov next to him was trembling all over, a little frightened by Balgruuf's cold words. However, Li Qing looked at Balgruuf without any fear.

To be honest, even though Li Qing didn't like to play tricks, he could tell that the other party was just pretending.

And it is likely that he is unsure of his own origins and motives, so he wants to use this method to test himself and see if he can scare himself.

Li Qing’s response is equally simple.

Without answering Balgruuf's question, he just looked at him straight, as if everything he did was a joke.

After all, strength gave Li Qing enough confidence.

Even if they fell out, he had enough confidence to kill his way out of the Whiterun city.

And Balgruuf did not persist for too long, because he was just testing.

What he understood most clearly about this kind of strange strong man was that even if they could not be friends, it was best not to offend him.

So this cold atmosphere only lasted for less than three minutes before it was broken by Balgruuf himself, who smiled softly:
"Haha, since you don't want to say it, forget it."

As if everything just now was just an illusion, Balgruuf picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then stood up and said loudly:

"My friend, you helped Whiterun, so you are naturally Whiterun, and you are also a friend of me, Balgruuf the Mighty."

"And I said in front of all the people in the territory that if he can find the werewolf, I will reward him with a sum of gold coins. If he can kill the werewolf, he can directly make a request to me."

Balgruuf looked at Li Qing and said, "So, my friend, is there anything you want?"

"Just ask me. As long as I can do it, I can definitely satisfy you!"

Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly under the helmet, and his intuition told him that this time Balgruuf's words should no longer be a test.

So he said directly without any hesitation:
"I heard you have a wizard here?"

"I want to talk to him. I am interested in alchemy and enchantment, including magic."

"So there are some things I want to ask him."

After a pause, Li Qing continued, "I am also a hunter, but I am a monster hunter. I travel this continent specifically to hunt monsters."

"So I need a detailed map of the surrounding area, preferably with the monsters that often appear marked on it."

"Or if you have any requests regarding monsters, you can also tell me."

"Monster Hunter?" Bargudo was a little surprised. This was the first time he had heard of this name.

He had come into contact with bounty hunters, thieves and even killers, but monster hunter was a profession he had never come into contact with before.

A hunter who specializes in hunting monsters? That's really interesting!

Putting one hand under his chin, Balgruuf hesitated for a moment and then spoke:
"The map is easy to deal with, and the monsters are also easy to deal with. There are also some dangerous areas near Whiterun where monsters roam."

"But my court wizard Farenga has a strange personality and is not easy to communicate with. But wizards are usually like this."

"So I can only take you to see him. As for how you communicate, that's up to you."

"It doesn't matter, I will convince him." Li Qing naturally has his own way.

Balgruuf nodded and asked, "Would you like to talk to Farengar first? Or would you like to have lunch with me?"

"No need for lunch. You should take me to see the wizard first. I have some questions to ask him."

"Okay then, come with me." After hearing what Li Qing said, Balgruuf didn't say anything else. He just stood up and motioned Li Qing to follow.

Li Qing stood up and followed him, then walked towards the corridor on the right side of the hall.

The area of ​​the Dragon Sky Palace is not very large in the game. Players can see the court magician as soon as they turn a corner after entering the Dragon Sky Palace, but in reality it is obvious that the area of ​​this palace is not that small.

First, they walked through a long corridor, then passed through several rooms and opened the door. Then Li Qing followed Balgruuf into an equally spacious room.

This is where Farenga lives and is also his own magic laboratory.

Since it is a court wizard's laboratory, it naturally would not be as shabby as the ones in the game with only an enchanting table and an alchemy table.

As soon as Li Qing walked into the room, he could see piles of books piled up in the corner.

Various empty and filled bottles of medicine were scattered everywhere.

As for Farenga, he was standing in front of a table with a book in front of him, studying something.

The only one who dared to break into his laboratory without knocking was Balgruuf. He was too lazy to argue with Balgruuf and asked directly:

"Lord Balgruuf, what do you want from me?"

Balgruuf still thought highly of his mage advisor. He turned his head and pointed at Li Qing and said:

"Farenga, let me introduce you to a new friend."

"He's a monster hunter who specializes in dealing with those monsters. You should be able to chat with him."

Farenga was a little confused: "Monster Hunter?"

"How come I have never heard of a profession that specializes in dealing with monsters?"

"This profession is very rare. It's normal that you haven't heard of it." Li Qing said, his eyes fixed on the mage.

As a mage, Farengar is undoubtedly qualified.

Although his actual combat ability may not be very good, his research on magic is not low.

He is also highly skilled in alchemy and enchantment, and is one of the people Balgruuf trusts the most.

He felt safe and secure here, and his life was much more comfortable than that of the wizards in Winterhold. He had help with his research, was not short of money, and lived comfortably.

The only thing missing is the quests that don't involve any communication, but after all he's a nerd in Winterhold, so there's no difference between being in Whiterun and Winterhold.

"Really?" Farenga retracted his gaze and continued to put down the book in his hand: "So what's the matter with this friend?"

"You're not just here to introduce me to a thug who collects materials, are you?"

"I'm here to ask you something." Li Qing didn't say anything more to Balgruuf. He directly took out a piece of magic equipment from the dnd world from the space ring, walked up to Farenja and handed it to him.

"Can you help me look at this?"

Farenga's eyes followed Li Qing's movements and fell on the dagger in Li Qing's hand.

The magical energy instantly attracted his attention.

Then the next second his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the dagger in Li Qing's hand in disbelief:
"This is."
