Wizard: I can refine everything

Half an hour had passed by the time Ellie had changed her clothes.

Looking at the lovely young girl in front of him, Richard couldn't help but sigh that the best cosmetic for women is youth.

Arriving at the mission hall, Richard saw that the fat man named Locke seemed to have found a team.

"It seems that it is common for low-level apprentices to form teams, but don't these people worry about being cheated by others?" Richard thought to himself.

Although the Black Rock Mountains are within the radiation range of the academy, there are no academy supervisors in it, and apprentices will no longer be restricted by school rules.

And which apprentice who successfully entered the academy did not have blood on his hands. In the wilderness, if it weren't for a companion who knew him well, Richard would not dare to sleep peacefully.

He came to the counter to accept the task. After confirming that Richard and Ellie were in a team, the teller readily assigned the task to Richard.

"Let's go, go back and pack up, we'll take the airship tonight."

Walking on the road, Richard felt that Ellie was always looking at him vaguely. But every time he looked at Ellie, she quickly looked away.

"Is there something on my face?" Richard asked.

"Well... no."

"Then why do you always look at me?"

"Who looked at you? Don't be so self-indulgent. I... I was looking at the street lamp."

Richard shook his head. He really couldn't understand the girl's mind.

Next time, I will directly find a video crystal to record it and see if she can deny it.

In addition to packing clothes in the dormitory, Richard also armed himself fully. With a big sword on his back, armlets on his arms, ice cone rings on his fingers, a magic dagger on his waist, and finally the secondary fireball magic wand, Richard's equipment was complete.

After packing, Richard and Ellie came to the airship field on the outer layer of the academy.

There were many apprentices in the airship field. Richard, who was sharp-eyed, also saw the team that Fatty Locke joined from the crowd.

After getting on the Zeppelin magic airship, Richard was exempted from the airship ticket after showing the mission certificate, which made the apprentices around him jealous.

The airship ticket is not cheap, the price starts at one magic stone, and even five or six magic stones are required for far places.

Ellie looked at the ticket price on the airship: "Richard, how did you know that you can get a free ticket if you accept the academy mission?"

If the airship ticket price is really calculated, the two of them need to buy a ticket to the Black Stone Mountains for four magic stones, which is more expensive than the remuneration.

And the ticket seller of the airship did not even mean to tell them this rule.

"Hehe, secret."

This passenger airship is different from the airship for recruiting students. There are no single rooms in the huge airship cabin, but rows of wooden seats instead.

Richard and his partner sat by the window. Ellie, who was used to sleeping, yawned and closed her eyes leaning against Richard.

Seeing Ellie fall asleep in an instant, Richard had no choice but to find a piece of clothing from his luggage and put it on her.

The moonlight outside the window was bright, shining in from the window, falling on Ellie's face, as if covered with a layer of gauze.

"Sleeping is such a waste. It's not as efficient as meditation."

...

The airship was very fast. The Black Rock Mountains, thousands of miles away, were reached in half a night.

When the morning sun shone into the airship, Richard moved his shoulders and woke Ellie up.

"Wake up, we're here."

"Huh? So fast?"

Ellie groaned for a while, stretched her body, and followed Richard off the airship.

There was a small town where the airship was docked, where many ordinary humans lived. Rocken's team also got off the airship with Richard, but this team seemed to be very familiar with the Black Rock Mountains, and they went straight to the Black Rock Mountains as soon as they got off the airship.

As soon as they entered the small town, several people immediately surrounded Richard and the other two.

"Wizard Master, do you need a guide? I am very familiar with the Black Rock Mountains."

"Wizard Master, I am most familiar with the Black Rock Mountains. I only need a quarter of the magic stone, and I promise to complete your mission quickly and smoothly."

"Wizard Master, don't listen to them, I am..."

Looking at the guides huddled together, Richard coughed.

"Be quiet, we are here to inspect the survival of the white crystal deer and hunt a magical beast called the black-striped water python. Who of you is familiar with these two things?"

Richard's words made the guides quiet down.

The white crystal deer is not a big deal, but few of them have seen the black-striped water python.

"Wizard Master, I am familiar with the white crystal deer, but I have only seen the black-striped water python once in the past six months. I don't know if it is still in that place."

An old guide with white hair but full of energy stood out among the guides, and no guide around dared to steal his business.

There is no way, the wizard's work is high-profit and high-risk. If the wizard feels that he has been fooled, the city lord cannot protect them.

"Okay, then it's your turn. How many magic stones?"

"Half a magic stone is enough, Master Wizard."

"What's your name?"

"Master Wizard, just call me Old John."

...

After the transaction was completed, Old John did not waste any time and immediately took the two to the Black Stone Mountains.

The Black Stone Mountains were covered with a layer of fog in the morning. From a distance, it seemed that a black monster was lurking in the white fog.

Old John took the two along the mountain path all the way to the interior of the Black Stone Mountains. In the meantime, all kinds of strange plants and insects made Richard and the others dazzled.

"Master Wizard, this is your first time to the Black Stone Mountains."

Richard put away the plants he had just picked and turned to look at Old John.

"Indeed."

"Haha, I know you two are here for the first time."

Old John laughed and pulled out a mushroom from the bush beside him.

"Master Wizard, don't look at those little things, look at this mushroom of Old John."

Richard took the mushroom and explored it with his mental power. He found that the mushroom actually contained magic power.

"What is this!" Richard asked in surprise.

Old John shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, but I see other wizards who come to the mountains often pick this thing."

Richard heard the implication, put the mushroom in his hand away, and took out a magic stone with one-fifth of magic power left from his waist pocket.

"Take us to see what other wizards often pick later."

Old John accepted the magic stone with a smile: "Okay, Old John promises to satisfy you."

The Black Stone Mountains are very large, and the mountains of thousands of kilometers even extend beyond the scope of the academy.

The moon is on the branches, and Richard and his party, who have been walking in the mountains for a day, have a bonfire in the forest. Richard and Ellie sat in front of the campfire, quietly watching Old John show his cooking skills.

Having been a guide for decades, Old John is very familiar with being a guide. During the day, he saw that Richard and the others were coming to the Black Rock Mountains for the first time and were not well prepared. On the way, he began to prepare game for them in the evening.

As Old John smeared a layer of secret spices on the browned pheasant skin, a strong meaty aroma instantly exploded on the pheasant's sizzling oily skin.

"It smells so good." Ellie twitched her nose and looked at the roasted pheasant eagerly.

Richard on the side was a little greedy at this time. Although he prepared dry food, who would want to eat dry food when there was delicious barbecue to eat.

Just as the two were greedy, there were suddenly several noises in the forest.

Old John, who had a sensitive ear, looked at the forest alertly and suddenly stuck the barbecue into the ground.

"My two lords, if someone comes, it will probably be a fight. Old John will not hold you back."

After that, Old John's figure instantly disappeared into the forest.

Just a few seconds after he disappeared, there was a rustling sound in the forest in front of Richard.

A figure covered in blood emerged from the forest.
