Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 414 Encounter
Ferrero began, “These are things I brought from my family. They were originally gifts for strangers on the journey. They’re called Miracle Flower Dew. Just one drop can keep your body smelling of golden roses for a week. Golden roses are also a flower of friendship, and many demons are reluctant to trample on them. Therefore, when you use Miracle Flower Dew, you can avoid demon attacks to some extent.”

As he spoke, Ferrero handed out these small, beautiful crystal bottles to people nearby, especially female travelers. Ferrero very gentlemanly handed them out personally, which made the female travelers, who were originally just passersby, overjoyed. Their eyes, when looking at Ferrero, held a different kind of expectant look!
There were at least seventy or eighty people in the camel caravan, and Ferroli's move greatly increased the favorability of almost all the women in the caravan towards him!

After doing all this, Ferrero gave Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan a haughty look.

It's as if he's saying, "I'm no match for combat power, but when it comes to flirting, you guys are far behind!"
Of course, he didn't dare to touch Fang Yu's brow again.

"Damn it, they've forgotten how painful it was once the wound has healed," Zhao Manyan said angrily.

When it comes to wealth and power, few in the world can rival him.

"Just find an opportunity to beat them up by yourself. If you can take action, don't just talk," Mo Fan said.

time flies.

As they continued on their journey, a somewhat murky cloud gradually appeared ahead, resembling a giant mushroom blooming at the horizon.

As everyone drew closer, the murky mushroom cloud obscured the sky, growing larger and larger, seemingly growing and climbing upwards little by little.

“We’re almost in Cairo. The war zone is right below those clouds, and it’s affecting a very wide area. If we try to enter Cairo, we’ll likely run into some demons on the outskirts,” said Old Hara, the leader of the camel pack animals.

Hala is a mid-level mage, whose strength is actually just average. He usually waits for some high-level mages to accompany him before leading a group of people on camel-riding beasts, depending on the situation.

He was quite experienced and knew how to avoid the Egyptian undead and demons. In fact, experience was often more important than strength, since there were always demons to kill.

After traveling for a while longer, Old Hara suddenly said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry, we may need to turn back the way we came."

This single act caused a huge uproar; in an instant, the people in the group were no longer satisfied.

After all, we've had a bumpy ride all the way, and now we have to go back. Who can stand that?
Moreover, there were some merchants in the group, who were even less likely to agree to return the way they came.

Merchants do business in war zones; they walk on the edge of a deadly reef, and can easily be swept away by the waves.

Half of the seven or eight mages in the group were hired by merchants. These people were around the mid-level, and being able to afford to hire mid-level mages was quite a big business.

Then, the merchants raised their prices, and only then did old Hara agree to continue, indicating that he could take another route.

Seeing the merchant taking the opportunity to raise prices, the European mage said, "Brother, you don't really need to curry favor with this leader. We are students from a European academy. If we come into the city with you, do we still need to worry about demons?"

"With you all here, I feel much more at ease, but as for the route, Old Hara is still the best at it," the merchant said with a smile.

He managed to avoid offending either side, but he also knew that this was the territory of demons, and if he didn't have someone who knew the way to lead the way, he was very likely to get into trouble.

Most importantly, they are just a group of ordinary people. The other students are strong and can run away on their own, so why would they care about them?

"Students from European universities, we are all friends now that we've met. If you encounter any danger ahead, please do your best to protect your companions," said the intern teacher, Vani, loudly.

"We will do our best!" the trainees replied in unison.

Their fame often stems from their displays of skill. But who can blame them when they're so renowned, and these young people are all undeniably powerful?

The black mushroom cloud grew larger and larger. Looking up, you would find that a small part of the sky was obscured. When you looked into the distance and into the depths, you would be plunged into a dark and terrifying fear, and the psychological shadow on your mind would continue to grow.

“This route will be relatively safe. The serpents don’t like the wet sand outside Cairo. This wet sand retains the moisture from the rain very well. Although it’s a bit muddy and the camels will be slower, it’s still better than being feasted on by a mob of demons,” Old Hara said to everyone.

Vani also spoke up at the right time, encouraging everyone and making their presence felt.

"Hmph, just a bunch of students. They'll probably be the first to run away if things get really dangerous," Chad, the mercenary captain, couldn't help but say.

“Heh, I think you’ve encountered some third-rate universities. How could students from there compare to those from European universities?” said Vani, the intern teacher.

Fang Yu paid no attention to the argument, but turned to Heidi and said softly, "If you can't do it, just close your eyes and leave the rest to me."

"Ok!"

Heidi felt a breath on her ear, and feeling a little shy, she nodded gently in agreement.

……

As the wet sand gradually appeared, it became much more inconvenient for the camel to walk. Some even suggested walking, but Old Hara immediately stopped them.

Because the scorpion demon existing beneath the sand is similar to a spider and can sense things.

This also made everyone aware of their knowledge gaps.

Vani gave an awkward laugh, then said, "Classmates, this is experience, and this is the purpose of your coming out to gain experience."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

He appeared humble and eager to learn.

Of course, they might not take what these people said seriously. The gap between intermediate and advanced levels is still quite large. Therefore, in the eyes of the European students, these people simply do not understand how powerful advanced mages are!
The damp sand was sticky, and the camels began to slow down, becoming much like ordinary camels.

Thick, black clouds hung overhead, and a putrid stench permeated the air. Many people had already covered their mouths and noses with scarves.

"Don't get separated, everyone. Stay with me. If we encounter any monsters, don't attack us first," Old Hara warned the group. From his tone, it was clear that this was a dangerous area.

He did indeed walk through this area, but each time, he did so with great trepidation.

Therefore, there are reasons for the high price; this is earning money at the risk of one's life, and one wrong move could mean certain death.
