The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Elves don't have time to care about such trivial matters. If you have this free time, why not read more books? Is there anything more important than improving your own strength?

……

In the evening, Lorenno's room fell into silence again, and the elf could finally learn spells.

The Mage's Hand is a sleight of hand, one of the most practical sleight of hand. It can summon a physical arm made of magic power that can lift about 5 kilograms of objects.

To put it simply, as long as you learn and complete the first level 1 spell, you can become a mage, but this can dissuade most people.

The process for a creature with intelligence below 20 points to become a mage is to understand the composition of spells as a spell apprentice, try to guide the magic power to form patterns, and finally try to activate the magic network to master the first trick from simple to complex.

The difficulty of learning spells at each level increases exponentially. Many people cannot even become a level 1 mage. The higher the intelligence and the greater the utilization of knowledge, the easier it is to become a mage.

Fortunately, Lorenno's intelligence has reached 20 points. She has extraordinary intelligence and is a warlock. She doesn't have to worry about the first step.

Remembering the magic path triggered by the mage's hand, the elf clenched his hands and crossed them in front of his chest. He opened his palms to let the magic power gather on his fingers. With a slight movement of his mind, the magic power was woven into shape in the palm of his hand, made of dots and dashes, and the lines formed into surfaces. A formation-like thing appeared in his hand.

"Has!"

Lorenno recited a spell and moved his arms to make his face three-dimensional.

Different spellcasters have different movements. Priests usually perform simple movements prescribed by praying to their gods at the end of casting magical spells. Warlocks' movements are more wild, and their bodies will move with their arms, making it look like... It's like dancing, so warlocks usually [move to cast spells].

The mage is more mechanical and rational. Unless he performs a specific spell, he basically only swings his arms.

After making the last move, the door was pushed open with a clang. The affected Loreno caused the trajectory of the magic network to deviate slightly, and the condensed magic power and the upcoming spell dissipated instantly. (Concentration check failed, spell interrupted)

"what happened?"

Lorenno looked back at Finoa, not angry because the spell failed, and at the same time noticed that the noise from the door was not as loud as she thought, it was entirely because she was too focused.

"There's new news. I know who the people who want to capture him are from the Federation."

Lorenno closed the spell book, turned around and motioned for Finoa to sit down and talk: "Federal people? So why did they want to arrest Velvet."

Compared to half-elves, elves believe in their mother's "profit theory" more. Everything a person does is related to their own interests, let alone the national level, so the Federation's capture of Vita must not be as simple as causing trouble for the empire.

The assassin girl nodded: "Do you still remember the confrontation between the Empire and the Federation that occurred when Princess Connie came over?"

"The memory is still fresh."

It turns out that Connie's impact was far-reaching, because the confrontation resulted in some local wars, and the small countries belonging to the Federation around the empire were defeated. Now the two sides are arguing over the treaty issue, and Earl Webb is the candidate to sign the treaty.

"The purpose of capturing Velvet is to make Count Weber loosen up on the treaty."

"Just relax a little bit?"

"Yes, if Earl Weber asks the victorious empire to pay compensation, the other accompanying diplomats can refuse to sign. It will be fine if the compensation is reduced. The empire does not care about those materials."

【Oh, that’s the trouble we caused~】

Lorenno rubbed his index finger and thumb. He was wondering if he could borrow the help of the federation to kill the killer sent by Dill. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. The uncertainty was too great.

Just as Lorenno was about to act according to the original plan, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "When is Count Kenneth traveling?"

"A month ago."

"When did Dill learn that he was not his biological child."

"Two months ago."

"College

There's an explosion. "

"This……"

Lorenno immediately stood up and planned to ask the young master.

……

ps: There will be 3 more updates tomorrow to make up for last Monday’s update, there’s something going on today.

Chapter 238 Contract Issues

What the elf girl thought of was a time difference issue. Earl Kenneth traveled a month ago, so he must have received news of his trip earlier, and he would definitely not be able to receive domestic news in time after he officially went on a mission to another country.

Dill learned the truth two months ago, but why couldn't he just give up in front of the earl and wait for the opportunity to kill his unrelated brother?

Continuing the reasoning, Velvet said that he had contacted his family, so could the person who picked him up be sent by the young master?

The most important thing is who is the soldier who picked him up? Although Lorenno said that he would leave it alone until someone came to pick him up, he would still remind him.

The maid opened the door, and Lorenno keenly noticed Konjac's messy hair. The strange atmosphere in the air made her realize what the maid and her young master were doing.

[He is about the same age as us, so he started doing this kind of thing so early. 】

The half-elf girl's tone revealed envy. The elf briefly described his guess. Velvet's face turned pale when he learned of Lorenno's guess: "After all the people who protected me died, I stayed in the city to seek help. Under the protection of the city guard, and using precious magic items to contact my family, what I heard was my father’s voice.”

"If it is true as you said, my father should have... gone to the federal area by then."

It was obvious that the voice was not his father, and the people sent to escort him later were probably not his protectors.

Master Weber realized this, and regardless of the aristocratic reserve, he begged: "Miss Lorenno, please help me!"

But what can Lorenno do? The elf doesn't want to escort a young master who can't help him all the way to the empire.

However, Finoa had some ideas and walked out from behind Lorenno: "Master Weibo - do you believe in the empire?"

"Of course!"

Weibo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said sincerely: "Like my father, I will always be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"I'm not talking about loyalty," Fenoa shook her head. "I'm asking you whether you believe in the empire and whether it can protect you."

"Of course I believe it!" Weber said firmly.

Finoa nodded slightly: "Since you are a family member of an important person and are currently in danger, according to the laws of the empire, I will not go into details. You can seek protection from any city guard for your personal safety."

"Really! Why have I never heard of it?" Weibo looked surprised.

"It's just that few people use it." The assassin girl responded.

In most cases, the city guard is led by a high-ranking or legendary person who is close to the legend, and soldiers are recruited and trained in the protected area. The families of important people are generally not as miserable and lucky as Velvet.

Why is he so miserable? There were internal problems within the family, which put the eldest young master into a dangerous situation. The only person who protected him was a maid. Fortunately, he was still alive and was not arrested. What is even more tragic is that his father No news from him at the moment.

Generally speaking, if the son of a certain big shot is in danger, he will die or be caught. After a lucky escape, he can quickly contact his parents for protection. He can successfully reunite with his family after hiding for a while or living in the city guardhouse for a few days. Like Velvet's condition is really rare, and few people survive to this point, so this law is not used frequently and not many people know about it.

Velvet was ecstatic: "Then it's okay if I stay here?"

"My advice is to go to the next town, where legends are stationed."

……

After discussing the follow-up matters, the elf returned to his room, took out the contract he had signed with Velvet, and reflected on his mistakes.

This is her first time as a party to a contract, and there are some loopholes that need to be filled in. Next time, the contract can be signed more accurately.

One is that the mission was successful, but Velvet died after arriving at the destination. Who should he go to for the things?

Lorenno didn't write this in the contract. She thought that as long as the young master escaped this disaster, he would definitely be able to come back alive "without any accidents", but as a result, there was an accident.

[Ask for it from his parents? 】

"The contract of endless light cannot affect his parents."

A contract basically cannot affect others unless that person is the one who signed the contract.

Assume that Lorenno signed a contract with the devil, and the content is to exchange Connie's soul for power. This is definitely impossible. Connie is not Lorenno's slave, and does not have the ownership of Connie Aquila.

But if Vita and the devil are exchanged for power, this can be achieved, because Lorenno is the owner of Vita and has her ownership. The definition between this is very vague, so be careful when making a deal with the devil. See if there are any conditions that concern other people.

Velvet may be counted as a subordinate of Earl Weber (the relationship between father and son, the father is strong and the son is weak, the son is the vassal of the father), but Earl Weber can not be responsible for Velvet's contract.

Loreno thought for a moment and wrote down something that every contract should have in his notes.

"If the mission is successful and the client dies before payment of the reward, Lorenno is entitled to receive the corresponding reward from the personal property owned by the client during his lifetime."

Well, if there is no personal property Lorennoche

She couldn't get anything. She was thinking that it would be great if she knew how to confine the soul. The devil would use the soul to pay off the debt.

Also, the punishment for the client's breach of contract during the mission seemed too light. It was just "nullified". Fortunately, Velvet cherished his life and was still preparing to go to the legendary Teleport City. If he stayed, the elf's previous protection would be in vain. Busy work.

[Double reward? 】

The elf said no: "Remember what mother said, you can't offer an exorbitant price, otherwise the person signing the contract will be put off."

After she finished speaking, she wrote the next sentence.

"If the task is interrupted due to the client's fault, the client needs to pay the entire task remuneration; if the reason for interrupting the task is special, the client needs to pay 50% of the task remuneration, and I will reduce or increase the proportion as appropriate."

[Sister, is this considered the overlord clause? 】

It only wrote about what the client needed to pay for causing the mission to be interrupted, and Lorenno didn't write about himself at all.

"It depends on whether others can see it."

[Also, what should we do if the difficulty of the mission suddenly increases? For example, we were originally fighting against a mid-level player, but suddenly a legend appears. We want to interrupt the mission. 】

The elf added another sentence after hearing the half-elf girl's words.

"I will not be held responsible for emergencies that prevent me from completing my mission or interrupting my mission."

[Wow, it’s really a domineering clause. 】

"This is called self-preservation awareness."

No matter it is an elf girl or a half-elf girl, neither of them will randomly accept tasks or commissions from unknown sources and unknown information.

Chapter 239 A Malicious Invitation

Write down the three conditions that should be added to the contract. After the elf is ready, he will continue to add them when he meets a new commission. He sits down at the desk and starts practicing spells again.

"Has!"

Do what you did before. As the magic aura lights up, a light blue transparent arm appears in front of Lorenno.

[This is the hand of the mage. 】

The half-elf girl observed the arm curiously, her thoughts moved slightly, and the floating magic arm moved one decimeter under the gaze of the elf.

【Eh! ? 】

"Sure enough, I don't have to distract myself from controlling the mage's hand. I can just leave it to you."

The elf girl understood that she had already expected that during the battle, the half-elf would control things that required her to be distracted, so that she could concentrate on the battle.

====

Has learned the mage's hand.

====

The elf has met the requirements for a part-time mage, and now she only needs to wait until she learns her first spell to officially become a mage.

Rubbing his head, Lorenno closed the spell manual and closed his eyes to replenish his energy.

It was finally time for the portal to open. Even though everyone arrived at the huge silver-white door as early as possible, the extremely long queue still surprised them.

"Are so many people going through the portal?!"

Sha Luo was very surprised: "It's not that it costs a lot of money, why are there still so many people?"

Finoa looked around and said: "Most of the people who choose to go through the portal are nobles or businessmen. The nobles are not short of money. Businessmen will definitely make money when they come and go. The economy and the circulation of goods can also increase taxes, which is good for the country. It’s very beneficial.”

From morning to noon, the somewhat nervous Velvet went from timidly looking around to now leaning on the maid and falling asleep, and was woken up by Elsa patting her shoulder.

Lorenno reminded: "It's time for us to leave. When we enter, Aisha and I will go first, and you will still be sandwiched in the middle."

No one has dared to do anything near the portal in so many years, but Lorenno didn't want to bet on that eventuality. Who knew if there was any magic that could influence Velvet to make him leave voluntarily.

Looking at the "vehicle" that he had never seen before, the elf paid the fees for the five people to enter first. His body and soul keenly felt the movement of space, and the next second he came directly to a city he had never seen before, with the flag in the distance It says Teleport City No. 214.

Six people appeared one after another, and the portal did not malfunction.

The elf closed his eyes and diffused his perception, filtering out the malicious eyes and remembering their current faces through plants. Several people carried the eldest young master to the city guard station. Velvet followed the procedure and applied for the protection certificate.

"Thank you guys."

Entering the city guardhouse, he felt relieved and thanked Lorenno and others.

The elf nodded and said: "According to the contract, we will protect you for a few more days. You can take advantage of these few days to go around."

"No, no," Velvet waved his hands repeatedly, thinking, "I will wait at the city guard station until father's communication comes before going out."
