I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 24 Night Watch

When we got back, the campsite had been completely cleaned up.

When Jiang Shang and the others said they could take a shower, everyone cheered, especially the girls who were the loudest.

"Great, I can finally take a shower!"

"I just want to take a good shower now."

On the way to the stream, the girls chattered incessantly, all complaining about how much body odor they had.

"Hey, I need to tell you something."

Bao Benyi nudged Jiang Shang and the others with his shoulder, and pulled Leng Ci, Zhou Yuan and the others into a line with his arm.

He said with a shifty look in his eyes, "The girl went to take a shower, do you want to go check?"

Jiang Shang and the other two were stunned for a moment, then their eyes turned strange!

Zhou Yuan stared blankly at the three of them and said, "How can girls take a bath like that? My mom said that men and women shouldn't touch each other. Didn't your moms teach you that? Or did you just not, sob sob~"

Before he could finish speaking, the two people next to him covered his mouth.

"Children shouldn't talk nonsense!" Bao Benyi warned.

"Never mind him, tell me how to get there," Leng Ci said excitedly, looking eager to try.

"I never expected Leng Cini to be this kind of person!" Jiang Shang looked at him in surprise.

Although he himself was somewhat tempted by the proposal, Jiang Shang still had his pride.

"Have you two forgotten that our water mage is a woman? Although the instructor is only at the beginner level, given her vigilance, she'd probably be a sitting duck if she went over there! Besides, there are other military mages with her. Where do you think you can go?" Jiang Shang said.

Bao Benyi chimed in: "Damn it! I'll definitely awaken a Shadow element at the intermediate level!"

Seeing the chubby boy gritting his teeth, as if he had been treated unfairly, Jiang Shang couldn't help but laugh.

"The four of you come with me to stand guard on the east side," Old Bi said as he walked over to them.

"Received," the four replied in unison.

…………

When Jiang Shang and his group returned, covered in sweat, it was more than an hour after they left.

The sun had completely set, and the moon began to shine and radiate heat in the sky.

"The starry sky is so brilliant, it seems to emerge from within!"

Jiang Shang lay on the grass in front of the camp, looking at the sky before him with a sigh.

"I wonder if the moon here emits its own light or reflects the sun's light, and whether the stars are the same as those back home."

I wonder if my family is alright?

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Shang, who was lost in his imagination, suddenly heard a sound coming from beside him.

Looking to his left, he saw Zhu Zhou lying down beside him.

"Captain, what brings you here?"

"Thank you. If you hadn't pushed me away today, I might have died from the Blood Chain Demon Tree's attack," Zhu Zhou said earnestly.

"You just happened to be there. You could have run away even without me, Captain."

Upon hearing his answer, Zhu Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "This kid is really humble."

"Captain, what element do you plan to awaken during your intermediate stage?" Jiang Shang suddenly asked.

"Huh? Me?"

I plan to awaken the wind element when I reach the intermediate level, so that I can fly when I reach the advanced level!

"Let's see if Commander Nancheng will still be showing off in front of us then," Zhu Zhou said confidently.

"Ha, just because Commander Nan was showing off in front of you!" Jiang Shang said incredulously.

"Otherwise what? Life doesn't have so many 'whys.' Wind magic allows me to run faster when surrounded by demons, to gather more information, and to save more people from the mouths of demons! Why wouldn't I?" Zhu Zhou retorted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang fell silent.

"I want to awaken either water or ice elemental powers."

"That's good, water-type can protect you. Right now, you only have enough lightning-type attacks, but not enough defense."

"Yes, it is thanks to them that I can save more people," Jiang Shang said.

"Captain Zhu, Brother Jiang, what are you two doing?"

After fiddling around inside his tent, Bao Benyi suddenly remembered he had a night watch duty. He walked a few steps out of the tent and found Jiang Shang and Zhu Zhou lying on the grass for two days.

Out of curiosity, I went over to take a look.

"Nothing much, just discussing what to awaken at the intermediate level?" Jiang Shang said casually.

"Then I'm definitely going to awaken the Shadow element!" the chubby boy exclaimed excitedly.

"Then you need to lose weight, otherwise your shadow will be too big," Jiang Shang teased.

Upon hearing this, Bao Benyi said with a dejected look on his face, "Then I won't awaken Shadow Magic. What a piece of lousy magic!" After saying that, he kicked the stone under his feet hard, as if the stone could take away his current sorrow.

"Hahahaha," Zhu Zhou couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Alright, stop lying to him. The Shadow element is great. Shadows don't grow bigger because of weight."

Jiang Shang smiled, then glanced at the watch he had bought at the mall and realized it was almost nine o'clock; it was time for his patrol.

Zhu Zhou, who was next to him, also saw the time displayed on the watch and stood up.

"Alright, you guys chat, I still need to patrol the camp."

After Captain Zhu left, Bao Benyi looked at Jiang Shang, who was still lying there, and suddenly asked, "Brother Jiang, which university are you planning to apply to?"

"Me? Shanghai, I guess. It's by the sea, and the scenery is beautiful."

What Jiang Shang didn't mention was that he planned to go to Shanghai to meet the chosen one of this world and personally experience his growth journey. After all, he also wanted to know what kind of person who refused to bow and scrape before the powerful was in reality!

What you see in books and what you think about in your mind is always different from what you see with your eyes!

I also want to see if his demonic magic is stronger, or if my ancestor's lightning magic is stronger!

"Shanghai University? That's great. I can only go to an ordinary university."

"Don't be discouraged, you can learn magic anywhere," Jiang Shang comforted him.

silence……

Jiang Shang, who was looking at the stars, did not hear the reply. He looked up at the fat man and found that he was also looking at the stars.

"Maybe he has his own worries too."

Jiang Shang shook his head, picked up a foxtail grass from the grass beside him, put it in his mouth, and began to look at the stars again, searching for the taste of his past life.

At this moment, he was like someone who could not return to his hometown, staring blankly at the Milky Way, searching for the star that belonged to him.

The atmosphere in the wilderness at night was slightly eerie, with the cold wind blowing through the branches making a sound like the howling of ghosts. In the darkness, the leaves blown down by the cold wind and the bare branches left by the fallen leaves looked like menacing ghosts.

Darkness has always been synonymous with the unknown for humankind. People are unaware of whether there are unknown fears hidden in the darkness, and these fears are all caused by the unknown.

Fortunately, a campfire was burning brightly not far away, with sparks constantly leaping out of the flames and heading towards the ground, only to burn themselves in mid-air.

"Come keep watch by the campfire, it's cold over there."

"Okay!"

After Jiang Shang finished answering, he also got up briskly, patted Bao Benyi who was lying next to him, and sat down by the campfire together.

Thus began the long vigil.
