I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 148 Kuleiya "clamped" her legs, but Mina...

It’s clearly the same square, but it’s like another world.

The sky is gray-blue, but it doesn't feel like the real sky.

It was as if there was a huge source of attraction that sucked all the wind, clouds, and space towards there, forming a vortex hanging upside down in the sky.

But Mina had a vague feeling that this was not the real sky.

“Artificial dome.”

Lucia suddenly said, "This is an artificial dome built to imitate the Shadow Border. It used to be a very advanced maze."

Kureya nodded. The feeling here was really similar to the Shadow Border, but also a little different.

"The Shadow Border..."

Mina chewed on the new term and looked at the gray sky. Suddenly, he remembered the scene when he drank that drop of shadow potion just now.

He thought it was an hallucination caused by drinking too much, but it seemed that the border over there was real...the shadow border?
Mi Xiaohu seemed to not believe it and went out for another walk, but still got nothing.

A lot of monsters were seen within a dozen kilometers around here.

But as for humans...it seems like there are really only Mina and the others.

"They are at another entrance."

Ansana explained that this place used to be a huge maze, like the world.

There is more than one entrance.

Ansana took out a map. When she returned to the Western Territory, she not only brought back a set of legendary equipment, but also a detailed map with strategies for the high-level training exam.

With a map like this, you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Soon, Ansana and Mi Xiaohu explored the area and determined their current location.

Entrance to maze No. 13.

"Let's go from here, then here, then here, here and finally here, we can reach the entrance to the next level. But I recommend resting here for a night..."

At this time, Mina also took out a simple map drawn by Mel, which only showed a few simple routes and the approximate locations of the needed materials.

By comparing the two, Mina confirmed the direction.

"Let's go check in first."

Mina suggested.

This first level of trial is about speed, it can also be called an endurance test.

Find the official simple map and mark the approximate check-in location.

If you get ten, you have passed the first level and can then move on to the next level.

Mina and his companions immediately took action.

The first check-in location is twenty kilometers east of them.

But this is when the value of Ansana's detailed map comes into play.

About seven or eight kilometers away from the check-in location, there is a huge poisonous fog swamp, which contains monsters with sixth-level strength.

If you rush in headfirst, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.

"Let's go around, go this way, then this way, then this way and finally this way, and that'll be it."

Ansana was very confident about the route marked on the map.

Several people set off immediately.

As expected, they encountered a poisonous fog swamp. If it weren't for the speed test in the endurance corridor, Mina would have to throw Mi Xiaohu out and lure out the sixth-level monster inside to see what the hell it was.

Several people quickly followed the map and made a small circle.

I found the first check-in point, which was a small wooden house in the woods with a magic crystal inside.

Several people input magic power into the crystal, lighting it up.

It seems that the magic information of Mina and others has been recorded.

Afterwards, a special staff will take the magic crystal away.

With the experience of the first one, Mina and his companions were familiar with the route and quickly planned the route on Ansana's map.

Waiting to run a lap down.

It was already evening.

But at least ten recording crystals have been lit up.

“I don’t know if we are the first to complete the challenge.”

Ansana sat down in the makeshift camp by the lake.

Finally I can stop and rest.

"Gululu~"

Lucia was hungry again.

For most of the day, apart from the necessary supplies, the few of them were all on the road.

I didn't want to do this at first, but I met a team of Amber Shadow on the road. They had already lit up five magic crystals, while Mina only had six. They were only one ahead, which was not enough at all.

Ansana suggested speeding up, Mina waved his hand, and the four members of the team sprinted at full speed.

Even so, I finished checking in for the last one just before dark and arrived at this relatively safe haven.

"I heard that things are bad here at night."

"There are shadow creatures out looking for food, but we have a campfire and this is a safe haven, so we'll be fine."

Ansana took a big bite of bread and her eyes began to doze off.

After two days of traveling, I made a mad sprint in this experience.

To be honest, I'm a little exhausted.

Meena made her a honey water.

After taking a sip, Ansana leaned on Lucia and started beeping.

"I'm telling you, I gritted my teeth at the time. I absolutely would not allow you to laugh at me, especially you, Mina. You little black guy could tell at a glance that you were going to laugh at me."

Ansana glared at Mina, who just smiled.

"If we use ordinary methods, it will definitely not work. I thought that as long as the gate reaches level five, we can directly enter it, so it will be possible if we pile up equipment."

"Ordinary equipment definitely won't work, so I went back to find my old man, and then walked around there..."

Confused, Ansana didn't know what she should or shouldn't have said.

Her voice became quieter and quieter, and then a soft snoring sound was heard.

The moonlight shone down. Mina built a bonfire beside her.

He glanced at the girl.

Really.

Even though his magic power has dried up, he's still pretending nothing happened.

But looking at Ansana's legendary equipment.

Mina took the opportunity to touch him and said that he was just a minor noble in the capital.

It’s a pity indeed though.

These legendary equipment are not edible. Otherwise, if I take a bite, I can use the golden meal making technique to make a legendary bread or something like that...

Mina shook his head speechlessly, wondering what nonsense he was thinking.

"Hmmmmmm~"

The slime came over, seeming to want honey water and the dragon crystal burger.

This little guy has tasted the sweetness of things and knows what is good.

After eating and drinking, the little guy still wants a massage.

Mina was speechless.

Fortunately, he finally understood the meaning of massage from the "Mmm~" and Slime's dancing.

"No, the miracle massage will have to wait."

Mina said, it is Saturday now and there are still two days to go.

"Hmmmmmm~"

The slime jumped up and down to get the reply from its owner, and seemed to be even more looking forward to the massage in two days.

Kuleya, who had just sat down, suddenly tightened her legs when she heard the words "miracle massage".

His body twisted uncomfortably.

"what happened?"

Mina was a little worried about Kureya's condition.

Kureya shook her head, and a blush seemed to appear on her cheeks.

Mina was puzzled and looked carefully at Yichui's palm, "I understand."

He looked at Kureya's twisting body, and saw an embarrassed look on her face that she had never seen before.

Mina understood immediately.

"Here you go."

He said.

Kuleiya was startled and squeezed her legs tighter. Then Mina made a bottle of shadow potion and handed it to Kuleiya.

"Do you want this? No problem, I can make as much as you want, anytime and anywhere. Don't feel burdened. I am the water maker and food maker in the team. Just order me around for whatever you want to eat or drink."

Kuleiya took the shadow potion woodenly.

The look on Mina's face was full of complexity.

"Thank you."

she says.

He drank the shadow potion in one gulp.

She closed her eyes and felt the power of shadow flowing through her skin.

Mi Xiaohu also followed suit and drank several bottles.

She still remembers her mission this time.

Drink more hot water... Pah, drink more of this shadow potion to make your shadow talent stronger, and then absorb the fourth gem tail.

Dragon Crystal Burger, familiarize yourself with dragon energy to enhance yourself.

Shadow potions improve shadow talents.

Honey water nourishes the body and enhances magic power.

The three lines were advancing in parallel, and Mi Xiaohu felt like his stomach was about to explode.

Now I am really a little envious of Slime Mengmeng.

This guy's swallowing skill can directly double or triple the amount of food, and then "digest" it, which is so comfortable.

As night fell, there were indeed shadows all around.

It seemed that there were countless indescribable beings looking at them, but they seemed to be afraid of the bonfire.

Just watching from a distance.

Lucia sat over, holding a cup of hot milk and drinking it.

He ate the twenty dragon crystal burgers he had just eaten.

Sometimes Mina really wondered, is this girl really a human being?
It can’t be a human-shaped female dragon, haha.

"what happened?"

Mina asked.

"Sit down for a while."

She and Mina were leaning against the same tree.

Mina squinted her eyes: "You are not afraid of those unspeakable things."

"How can it be."

Lucia clenched her fists, and Mina immediately shut her mouth.

She just watched the shadows in the sky change and the magic power expand out. Even if this was a safe haven, she still needed her own magic barrier to feel a little relieved.

After doing all this, Lucia closed her eyes.

Mina didn't say anything. The sound of the wind seemed to be floating and like white noise. Mina closed his eyes, leaned against the tree trunk, and fell asleep soon.

Kureya on the tree looked at the two people under the tree.

After a long time, the eyelids drooped slightly.

Silent all night.

The next day Mina felt refreshed.

I just picked up the cute slime, added some water to rinse my mouth, and started my regular morning exercise.

After having some breakfast and feeling full of energy, the group set off leisurely.

The magic crystal of the endurance route was lit up yesterday, and the first level of training has ended.

Before they go to the second floor, they still have to deal with other things.

For example, picking some herbs and minerals.

Perhaps because this place is rarely visited, the resources here are quite abundant, especially the shadow resources.

If the backpack wasn't limited, I would have picked them all.

These may become Mi Xiaohu's shadow talent potions in the future.

Mina is still looking forward to Mel's 2.0 version.

When the four of them arrived at the square at the entrance to the second floor, quite a few people had already gathered there.

"Mina, it's Mina."

"It turned out that Mina and the others are here."

"It's really great."

Mina was a little confused. Why were these people staring at them? Was it because he was too handsome?
But Ansana understood it after asking around.

It turned out that the association felt that this training and confrontation was not enough, so they directly arranged a ranking list.

The progress and points of each team were made public.

In the first level of training, the Mina team deservedly took first place.

Directly scored 120 points and took the top spot.

The second is the Amber Shadow. This group of assassins are first-rate in finding their way.

The third is Caesar and his men from the Sword of Ashes.

Originally, these people were feeling complacent because they got 98 points.

But when he heard that Mina had scored a full 120 points, he immediately couldn't hold it in anymore.

There was no hesitation at all.

After a simple replenishment, I went directly to the second floor.

After half a day, they managed to catch up and scored 130 points, surpassing the Mina team.

number one.

That's why the trainees from other knight orders looked at Mina and his friends curiously.

However, to everyone's surprise, Mina and his companions did not rush to the second floor immediately, but instead wandered around the camp here.

Mina discovered some good stuff in the camp—the grocery store, which was also the maze merchant arranged by the association, actually sold these large-capacity backpacks.

Just hang one for each person and fill it up.

After purchasing some tools, Mina and his companions went to the second floor.

Mina initially thought that the long corridor was an upward passage, but later he found that it seemed to be spiraling downwards.

The journey lasted a full hour.

The few of them finally arrived at the second level of the training maze.

The sky was still dark, but it had changed from gray-blue to dark red.

The air seemed to be filled with thick smoke and a strong smell of sulfur. In the distance, there was a dark red "river" visible to the naked eye. That was lava.

Mina opened the mission map.

There is magic power flowing on it, marking the locations of monsters.

If the first level corresponds to the Endurance Corridor of the intermediate assessment, then the second level corresponds to the Courage Corridor.

To hunt monsters on this second level.

Ansana still had the corresponding map and when she spread it out, Mina took a breath.

Just call him good guy.

Mina now really admires the person who created such an exquisite maze.

How on earth could such a huge world be stuffed into this underground maze?

The small fireball was launched to its maximum but still did not touch the top of the sky.

There seemed to be a vast ocean in the far distance.

The land beneath their feet is a "small island" of several dozen kilometers in the ocean.

Is this small world-like maze really man-made?
Mina couldn't help but wonder again.

Their first target was the Ice-fanged Beast Elephant at the edge of the island, which was at level six and worth twenty points.

This is a medium-difficulty must-kill target. It’s a good idea to try out this difficulty for the first one.

What puzzled Mina was that this monster was of ice attribute. There was an ice monster in a place full of lava and volcanoes. Besides, it was at the edge of an island, so it was a good opportunity to go and take a look.

However, when they came to the edge of the island, Mina stood on the cliff and looked into the distance.

Mina was a little stunned.

There are countless icebergs on the sea.

And further away, where the sea and the sky meet, is a towering wall of ice that stretches to the end of the field of vision.

It's like the boundary of the world, impossible to cross.
