All-round magician

Chapter 16

It was already dawn, and the ground where the fight had occurred was in a mess, many nearby trees were completely destroyed, and several large pits appeared in the originally flat forest.The 14 people in their group were more or less injured except Lan Nuo and Gemma, and three of them were seriously injured. Gemma quickly cast three holy light spells on them, which is the most basic healing spell of light magic. .

Due to the limited magic power, Gemma could only cast the holy light spell four or five times at a time, and the other people who were slightly injured had to bandage their wounds casually.Scarface walked up to the boulder monster, pierced the joint of its abdomen with a sword, and a round stone the size of a mud-yellow date grain was exposed. Scar picked it up, wiped it on his sleeve, and walked away. Come here and pass it to Lanno.

Lan Nuo, who was supporting Charlie, looked at him suspiciously, and the eyes of other people around saw the stone.

"This is the inner alchemy of the boulder monster. It would be difficult for us to kill it without you. Take it."

Neidan?What is this? Lan Nuo looked up at Charlie, Charlie nodded, and Lan Nuo reached out to take it.

Scar showed him a smile of unknown meaning, nodded his head, and then turned around to explain the aftermath.

The employer this time, the businessman Illinois, also drove over with two carriages, and the seriously wounded were all loaded into the carriages and rushed back to the camp.

Looking at the team that lost its combat effectiveness, Scar's brows were unconsciously frowned, and now he is in a dilemma, moving forward, whether such a team can safely pass through Mount Atlantis is a big question mark; it is difficult to get the wounded if they stay in place. Effective treatment, in case of monsters or robbers attack again, they are not opponents; it will take about 1 day to reach the last town, which will seriously affect the itinerary.

Finally, Scar took the map and went to discuss with Illinois for a while. The two reached a consensus and decided to return to a village called Brass about 30 kilometers away from here, rest for two days, increase some supplies, and wait for everyone's physical condition Better go on the road.

After the catastrophe, the distance between everyone quickly narrowed, and they quickly became one, chatting and laughing, many people asked what Lan Nuo painted on the arrow in the end, could even the thick skin of the boulder monster be able to bear it? Lan Nuo touched his nose, but he couldn't tell everyone that it was the high-concentration sulfuric acid made by himself. He could only make up a story that he once invited a poor old man to dinner. He gave it to him. He didn't know what it was. It is highly corrosive.

The journey was slow due to the large number of wounded.We arrived at Blas at noon. This village is much larger than ordinary villages. There are about a thousand households. The village is well planned. The houses are facing the street on both sides. The ground is paved with neat large bluestones. The facilities are better than ordinary towns, no wonder they can be found on the map.

Except for the people in the carriage, everyone got off their horses and walked on the stone road on foot. Strangely, when they entered the village, it was quiet everywhere, and there was no one. After walking for about 10 minutes, they finally bumped into a young man at the corner. He was about 20 years old, wearing a short sweater, dull.

After asking everyone why they came, the young man happily took everyone to the village head's house.It turned out that today the village chief invited everyone in the village to eat at his house to celebrate his son's return from school, so they walked for so long without even seeing a shadow.The village head's son is called Abilly, who is only 21 years old and already an earth-type magister.He was gifted with magic since he was a child, and was sent to Lawris College (a magic school second only to Emma College) to learn magic when he was 10 years old.He passed the magister's assessment three months ago, and finally asked for leave to go home today. The village chief was very happy, so he invited the whole village to a banquet.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, the yard was full of people, and everyone was eating happily.The village head's home is the most luxurious in the village. The main building is a two-story small European-style house with brick-red exterior walls, white lines, colorful glass, and exquisite carvings, all of which show the owner's aura. Hobby.There is a row of low tile-roofed houses at the back, which are said to be servants' rooms and kitchens.

Hearing Dao Scar's intentions, the hospitable village head welcomed them into the house happily.When the wine was halfway through, the son of the village chief, a handsome young man with fair complexion and brown curly hair, toasted one by one.When he arrived at their table, he was very happy to see Barry and Gemma, both mages, and agreed to visit them when he had time and have a good chat.

The lunch lasted until 6:[-] pm, and then the open-air party in the evening.Lan Nuo only ate for a while before going back to his room to accompany the injured Charlie and Julie. The two of them and another mercenary Jerez did not attend the celebration banquet due to their serious injuries.

Charlie and Julie stayed in different rooms, and Lan Nuo went to chat with Julie for a while before going to Charlie.After saying a few words, Lan Nuo took out the stone, and Charlie knew that Lan Nuo didn't understand the function of the magic core.

It turns out that the magic core is the source of the magic power of the monster, which is equivalent to the magic power storage body. Magicians of the same department can absorb the energy inside and increase the speed of magic cultivation. The price in the market is very expensive. A 4th-level magic core costs 100 gold coins. A Tier 5 magic core costs at least 500 gold coins, a Tier 6 magic core can basically sell for 1500 gold coins, and a Tier 7 magic core costs no less than 5000 gold coins. Tier 8 and Tier 9 magic cores are extremely rare, and they are priceless in the market.This is also the reason why it is easier for nobles to practice magic successfully than ordinary people, because high-speed magic also requires a lot of financial resources to support it. You must know that the annual expenditure of an ordinary family of three is less than 10 gold coins.

I suddenly realized that I was carrying a huge sum of money that was very tempting to most people. Everyone is innocent, but it is a crime to conceive, and it is inevitable that someone who cares about it will miss it. You must know that Uncle Charlie is seriously injured now. And I don't have the ability to protect myself, so it's better to disperse and let go of human feelings. Anyway, money is something outside of the body, and the most important thing is to save my life.

Thinking of this, he told Charlie that he would come back after a while, and Charlie also knew that he was doing things properly, so he let him go.

When Lan Nuo returned to Charlie's room, he found that Scar was also in the room. They seemed to be discussing something. When they saw Lan Nuo coming back, they immediately stopped talking and looked at him with strange eyes. Lan Nuo guessed that they It was because he was worried that he overheard their conversation.

Lano guessed that Scar was here to dig a corner. You must know that Charlie has become famous in the caravan since the morning's battle. At first, everyone thought he was just an ordinary guard, until he showed such a trick, everyone Only then did I realize that he was a high-level swordsman. You must know that in this mercenary group, only Scar was a level 9 swordsman. The others were not high-level, not even a level 5 swordsman. Businessman Illinois also looked at Charlie with the same eyes that he saw a fat sheep.

That's right, everyone guessed that after they arrived in Mosleys City, Charlie would definitely leave Lanno. After all, good birds choose trees to live in, and it is human nature for people to go to high places.

Ignoring these two strange men, Lan Nuo took out a big sack from his pocket and handed it to Scar. Scar opened it and saw that the bag was full of gold coins. He was startled and asked suspiciously: "You Where did so many gold coins come from?"

"I sold 400 gold coins of the magic core to the village chief."

"Then what are you doing for me?"

"Killing the monster is everyone's credit, you can share it equally."

"Okay." Dao Scar was not polite to him, and left with the bag.

"You did the right thing." Charlie looked at Lanno with a relieved smile.

"Actually, you didn't suffer any injuries, right!" Ignoring his compliment, Lan Nuo said with certainty.

"I didn't expect you to find out so soon." Charlie smiled triumphantly.

Lan Nuo was the same as him. In fact, he was also frightened by his injury at the time. He forgot that his grandfather said that he was already a level 8 swordsman. It's not clear, but it's obvious that in this morning's battle, Charlie didn't use all his strength, was injured too quickly, and fought too sluggishly.It wasn't until he returned to the room in the afternoon and saw him drinking alone that he figured it out.He also understands why Charlie hides his strength. After all, it is unimaginable for a level 8 great swordsman to be willing to live next to a kid who is nothing and has no background. It is difficult not to arouse suspicion from others.

"I have something more serious to tell you," Charlie said solemnly, looking up at Lan Nuo who was lost in thought, "This village is weird."

"Is there anything weird?" Apart from the warmer people and the richer people in this village, there is nothing weird about it.

"You don't have magic power, no wonder you can't see it. The magic element fluctuations in this village are particularly strong."

"How do you know?" Charlie is just a swordsman, and sword energy is completely different from magic elements, so swordsmen cannot perceive magic elements.Could it be that Scar told him, that's not right, Scar is just a swordsman, and a swordsman whose level is far lower than his.

"Don't ask me about this, my source of information is very reliable." Maybe someone under his command told him, he is the deputy leader of the dark team after all, Lan Nuo no longer dwells on this issue.

"What does that have to do with us?"

"Do you know why this village is so rich?" Charlie answered irrelevantly.

Roll your eyes, he came here today just like him, well, really, asking such an idiotic question.

"Because the proportion of magicians produced here is very high. Basically, five or six talented magicians will be produced in each generation, but they are not necessarily children from the same family. The magicians of the descendants of people who left the village after becoming magicians The talents are not very good, and many successful magicians still make their homes here, and it is precisely because no one knows who will have a very powerful magician in the next generation, so the people here are very friendly."
