Professor of Magic

Chapter 152 Lesson 33 Hanno Farm
There is an old saying called what is it?

Oh, it is blessings that come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.

This sentence is very appropriate to describe the current Lin Yuan and the students in Class [-], Grade [-].

I was tossed by the stomachache all night, although I got better after Dr. Luna's treatment, but if I want to cure it, I need to take medicine.

But when Lin Yuan and his students came to the largest herbal medicine store in Wendno City, they were told that there was a herbal medicine called "horsegrass" that was out of stock.

"You don't need to go to other herbal medicine shops to ask." Seeing that Lin Yuan was going to take the students to other places, the shopkeeper of this herbal medicine shop shook his head and said. "The horseshoe is not only out of stock in our family, but in the whole Wendno."

Lin Yuan and the students were astonished.

"Why is it out of stock?"

"Near the city of Windno, there is only one Hannuo farm that produces this kind of herb. Recently, something seems to have gone wrong with them, and they haven't supplied it to the herbal store in Windno for a long time."

The shopkeeper paused, and continued helplessly: "We can supply other herbs from other places, but horseshoe grass is not used in other places except for treating diarrhea, so the price is not high. Except Han Outside Nuo Farm, there is no other place to grow it nearby. We are also very troubled that he has run out of stock."

He looked at Lin Yuan and the students again, and said, "Look at you, you don't seem to have any symptoms of diarrhea. If you don't need it urgently, you can wait. We are transferring goods from other cities. If there is no accident , it will be here in a week."

Lin Yuan and the students looked at each other in blank dismay. Although Dr. Luna didn't say it clearly, there is no way to delay the treatment.

"This... Shopkeeper, you don't have any stock here, Hannuo Farm should have some." Lin Yuan thought for a while. "Why don't you tell us where the Hannuo Farm is, and we can go there and buy some, enough for our own use."

The shopkeeper nodded: "That's a good idea. They are the place where horseshoe grass is produced. Even if the stock is not enough to supply the major herbal medicine shops in Wendnor, it should be no problem if there is enough for you. The farm is..." The shopkeeper suddenly frowned: "This ...They send them every time, I really don't know. But don't worry, I heard from my buddy yesterday that Hannuo Farm has issued a mission in the Mercenary Union. Although I don't remember the content of the mission, but the mission The address will certainly be given."

Lin Yuan and the students' eyes brightened.

Mercenary mission?

Lin Yuan laughed: "Students, it seems that the time has come for our three mercenary regiments a year to dispatch!"

※ ※ ※

Mission Name: Eliminate the threat to the farm
Publisher: Hanno Farm
Remuneration: 20 gold coins
Evaluation grade: D
Task overview: Hannuo Farm was recently attacked by a group of monsters, resulting in the inability to continue production.In order to ensure the continued stable production of the farm, it is necessary to hire powerful mercenaries to repel or eliminate these monsters.

"No wonder no one has answered it for a few days." Lin Yuan muttered after reading the mission introduction released by the mercenary union about Hannuo Farm.

This task was assessed as a D-level task by the mercenary union, which meant that it was dangerous that could not be ignored.

But the D-level task reward is only 20 gold coins, which is considered low.But the target of this mission is still a group of monsters. If they want to solve it, ordinary D-rank mercenaries have to go to at least a few.In this way, the money that was distributed in the end was actually a little less.

Of course, it is possible for a high-level mercenary to solve this problem by himself, but how can other high-level mercenaries value this mere D-level mission.

"I didn't expect that our three-year-old mercenary group didn't open for half a year, and we accepted such a loss-making task as soon as we opened." Vince sighed while holding the task list.

This guy hasn't forgotten his identity as the chief financial officer.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Just treat it as a spring outing."

At this time, they were walking on the road leading to Hanno Farm outside Windnor City.

It was early spring, and the branches on both sides of the road were already covered with emerald green, and looking further away, the fields on both sides were full of green weeds, mixed with some unknown wild flowers.

Above the field, there are some small creatures flying around, brightly colored, like butterflies.

Coupled with the warm light of Salas shining on the top of the head at this time, and the cool breeze blowing head-on, wouldn't it be a spring outing to take a walk out of the city in this environment.

"It's been so long since school started, and everyone has been cooped up in the college. It's good to go out for a walk now." Lin Yuan glanced at the cheerful students around him, and nodded.

They are all young people, and who doesn't like to come out to play.

Looking around, Lin Yuan suddenly walked to the side of the road, knelt down and picked a long and thin leaf from a weed.

Wipe it on your clothes first, then put it near your mouth and blow it hard.

"call out--"

A light and distant whistle sounded far away, immediately attracting the attention of all the students.

Lin Yuan puffed his cheeks, the whistle suddenly turned low, then high-pitched, with a sense of lightness and escape amidst thousands of twists and turns.

Following the whistle blown by Lin Yuan, the butterfly-like creatures that were still flying in the field seemed to be sensed, and even the frequency of flapping their wings seemed to speed up a lot.

And just at this moment, another gust of breeze blew by, and the green leaves on the trees and the grass beside the road all swayed slightly with the breeze and with Lin Yuan's whistle.

For a time, feel relaxed and happy.

By the time Lin Yuan felt that the blades of grass had softened and could not go on and stopped, the students were already fascinated.

They didn't wake up until Lin Yuan slapped his hands.

"Wow, Teacher Lin, you are... amazing!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you are too powerful, how did you blow it out?"

"That's right, a leaf can actually make such a sound, it's too fake!"

"Fake what? Didn't you just hear it. Mr. Lin, teach me how to play it?"

"Yes, teach us."

……

Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, don't worry, since you have shown this trick, of course I will teach you."

After all, first instruct the students how to choose leaves with the right shape, then how to place them on their lips, and how to puff them up and blow them out.

In fact, this thing, many people should have been exposed to it when they were young.Even if it is a child on the mainland of Farinos, Lin Yuan believes that there should be a lot of people.

It's just that the students in class three of the first grade have been learning magic since they were young, and they have never been exposed to it.

"puff--"

This was the sound made by Vince picking up a leaf and blowing it hard.

Larch couldn't help pointing at Vince and laughing loudly: "Vince, you are farting."

Even with Vince's thick skin, he couldn't help blushing at this moment, throwing away the leaf that had been blown by him angrily, and found a new one.

"Vince, you are using too much force. This leaf can't withstand your force, you have to be like me..." Lin Yuan gave Vince another demonstration, and he finally made a more normal sound.

Lin Yuan chuckled, Vince, this kid, looks quite gentle, but in fact he is short-tempered.

Turning around to look at other students, I found that most of them also started to find the trick.Although the voices are of different lengths and uneven, there is still a distance that cannot be ignored from Lin Yuan's level, but there is still some progress.

"Okay, let's play while walking." Lin Yuan clapped his hands and said. "This thing is the same as learning magic, there is no rush."

Originally, Lin Yuan was thinking about using this matter to teach magic, but then he thought about it, he just said that he was going out for a spring outing, since it was a spring outing, he should relax.

Now that the atmosphere is so good, why bother to talk about serious issues in study, it is better to let the students relax completely.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan smiled and did not continue.

Chatting and strolling all the way, by the time the group arrived at Hannuo Farm, which was less than 30 miles southeast of Wendnuo City, it was almost past noon.

When the people on the farm learned that, except for Lin Yuan, who seemed to be only in their teens, they had accepted the mission to help them dispel the threatening mercenaries, and they couldn't believe it at first.

The mercenaries in their impressions are all rough and fleshy, tough people who look like terrorists at first glance, and among the group in front of them, even Lin Yuan, who is the oldest, can at most be called a He has a decent figure, but is still far from Kong Wu's powerful standard.

Facing their skeptical gazes, Lin Yuan turned all of them into anticipation with just one sentence.

"I am a teacher at Fenol College, and they are my students."

For these people who live near the city of Windnor, there is no need to say anything about what Feynor College represents.

"You...why do you bring your students to do mercenary missions?" No wonder the owner of the farm, Hannuo, was puzzled by this question.

Fenol Academy is the number one magic academy in the mainland. The people there, whether they are teachers or students, are almost certain to become very prestigious magicians in the future. They don't need to earn money by doing mercenary missions at all.

Or to be more precise, there is no need to earn money by doing such low-level tasks.

What's more, a teacher brought a whole class of students here, which is really unbelievable.

Although the farmer, Hannuo, is not considered a nobleman, he has come into contact with some important figures and has seen some of the market.The students brought by Lin Yuan looked inconspicuous on the surface, but he could tell at a glance that many of them had a very special aristocratic air.

In other words, perhaps more than half of these students are nobles.

Then why are they here to do this task?
"Actually, we came here for the horseshoe grass." Seeing Han Nuo's doubts, Lin Yuan explained with a smile. "Originally, we were going to buy some herbs for the college infirmary, but we couldn't find any missing horseshoe grass. After asking, we found out that there was some trouble here. I just wanted to take the students out to do actual combat. Training, and knowing that you have issued a mercenary mission, I went to take it."

"Actual training?" Han Nuo looked at Lin Yuan, and then at the students who were still looking around curiously, with weird expressions.

"Don't worry." Lin Yuan gave Han Nuo a confident smile. "Some low-level monsters are not taken seriously by me and the students. Unless you conceal the truth, it is actually some high-level monsters that threaten the farm."

Hannuo's complexion changed, and he waved his hands again and again: "How is that possible? If it were a high-level monster, I would not be able to stand here and talk to you properly."

"I think so too." Lin Yuan laughed. "However, it doesn't matter even if it is a high-level monster. Unless the legendary 8th or 9th level monster appears, the students and I can still clean it up."

Han Nuo glanced at Lin Yuan, thinking that you, a young teacher, really know how to play Kodo.

Even if you are a teacher at Feynor College, you must at least have the level of an 8th-level magician, but even an 8th-level magician, facing a 7th-level monster, there is not much chance of winning.

Of course, it was impossible for him to show on his face that the monsters that invaded the farm were indeed low-level monsters. With the strength of Lin Yuan, a teacher at Feynor College, he could handle it all by himself.With the addition of these students, it should be relatively easy.

He can't afford to be awkward with Lin Yuan.

"Warcraft started to appear suddenly a week ago. This week, every other day will come to attack the farm at night." Hannuo began to introduce the specific situation to Lin Yuan. "They didn't hurt people very much, they just came to the farm and robbed some livestock and ran away. If it was just these losses, it would be fine, but they come in groups every time, trampling things in the field."

After Lin Yuan finished listening, he looked at each other with the students, feeling a little strange.

How does this situation sound similar to the first D-level mission he took over when he took the students as mercenaries last semester?

"There is not much demand for horseshoe grass, so I have only planted a small piece in the southeast of the farm." Hanno continued. "But that group of monsters happened to pass by that field last time and trampled the horseshoe grass into mud."

"Then you don't have stock?" Lin Yuan quickly asked the most basic purpose of coming here.

"Yes, there are, but the quantity is very small, and they cannot be supplied at all."

"Oh, I don't want a lot." Lin Yuan felt relieved. "From what you said just now, it seems that every time the monsters come to attack the farm, they take different routes?"

Hannuo nodded with a sad face: "Yes, so half of the fields near the farm have been destroyed by them. If this continues, this year's harvest may be over. Mr. Lin, you must help me what."

When Vince heard this from the side, he couldn't help but give Hannuo a white look, thinking that Mr. Lin brought us here not to help you solve the problem, but to expose Salas.

After chatting with Han Nuo for a few more words, Lin Yuan finally understood the general situation.

Although this task is similar to the one received last semester, even without Katyusha's help this time, he and the students should be able to handle it easily.

First of all, after more than half a year of study, the level of magicians alone has jumped from an average of about level 1 when they first entered the academy to more than level 2 for most of them now.

Among them, the strength of Fasno and Zhuo Na can even reach the level of a level 6 magician.

And this is not to mention that the students have a lot more understanding and application of magic than other magicians.

In addition, Lin Yuan's current strength is not what it used to be. In this way, even if he encounters more and higher-level monsters, there is nothing to worry about.

After the initial contact, Hannuo arranged for Lin Yuan and the students to have lunch.

Because according to Hannuo, the monsters are basically dispatched at night, so if they want to solve this problem, they naturally have to spend a night here.

While eating, Hanno brought in another young fellow.

"Kova is the closest person to Warcraft these few times, and he should be able to provide you with a little more information." Hanno patted the young man on the shoulder and introduced to Lin Yuan.

"Oh?" Lin Yuan put down the half-eaten bread and asked, "Come on, tell us first, what is the monster that attacked the farm?"

The young man from Kowa seemed a little nervous after seeing everyone, and he replied after a while: "I... I didn't know it at first, but I happened to see it yesterday..."

"Ms. Lin asked you what to say directly." Han Nuo was very dissatisfied when he saw Kova hesitating.

When he said this, Kova was even a little speechless.

Lin Yuan glared at Hannuo, the farmer was okay when facing him, why was he so rude to other people.

"Don't worry, just speak slowly." Lin Yuan smiled at Kowa: "From what you mean, you should recognize those monsters now? Tell me, what are they?"

"It should be...it should be..." Kova suddenly glanced in the direction of the students, shrunk his neck and continued, "It's the wind wolf."

"Wind Wolf?" Not only Lin Yuan, but also the students' eyes widened.

Why was the D-level task encountered last semester was Wind Wolf, but this time?
All eyes were on Natasha.

Because it was lunch time, Xiao Bai was also summoned by Natasha at this time, and he was happily gnawing on a bone.Suddenly feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on it, Xiaobai stopped talking in bewilderment, raised his head and looked at everyone.

"Natasha, ask Xiaobai to see if he knows the situation." Lin Yuan said.

"En." Natasha agreed, whispered a few unclear words, and after a while, she nodded, then shook her head, then nodded again, and finally seemed to end the communication with Xiaobai , turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Mr. Lin, Xiaobai said it doesn't know."

"This guy just knows how to eat, and when he asks something, he will answer that he doesn't know." Vince patted Xiaobai on the back, pretending to be angry.

Xiaobai looked at him innocently, not knowing why.

"If Xiaobai doesn't know, it means that the group we met last semester is not the same group." Lin Yuan pondered. "Wind wolves live in packs, and they are the most numerous among the low-level monsters. This is not surprising. The strange thing is, why do they always attack farms to grab food?"

Xiao Bai suddenly howled twice.

"Xiaobai said that in the past, the group it led came out to attack the farm because they could not find food in the place where they lived. Otherwise, they would not easily attack humans, because it would be very dangerous."

"In other words, the group of wind wolves attacking Hannuo Farm are also forced by life?" Lin Yuan thought for a while, then turned to Kowa and asked, "About how many wind wolves are attacking you?"

Kowa had long been frightened by the communication between the group of people and Xiaobai. Hearing this, he was stunned for a while before shaking his head and replied, "It's too dark at night, so I can't count them, but there are at least one or two hundred."

"That's about the same as that time." Lin Yuan thought for a while, and felt that with the students and his own strength, it was really a small case to solve the one or two hundred wind wolves, so he was relieved.

But when he turned around and saw Xiao Bai, his heart suddenly moved, he stood up, and approached Xiao Bai with a smile on his face.

Kneeling down, he touched Xiaobai's head and said, "Xiaobai, I want to introduce you to a new term called negotiation..."
