Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Author: The Fog Clears and the New Sun Shines

Rationality, exploration, knowledge, truth, deconstruction, and elements transformed Li Wei from an elemental barbarian who could only throw spells into a true "mage".

He traveled to the continent of Grand, which is home to many magical races, including dragons, deep-sea whales, frost giants, undead, sea creatures, goblins, dwarves, and elves.

Li Wei began analyzing the [Elements] by joining an adventurer's party, starting with the basics and gradually becoming an all-around mage.

—【Elementalist Lv1: Mastery of basic elemental magic.】

—【Element Lv3: The element considers you a close friend.】

—【Element Lv9: You have mastered the profound truth of whether destruction and survival affect the development of the world.】

—【Element Max: Your true name is imprinted in the origin of all realms, immortal and eternal!】

#￥@%&！ #￥@%&！ #￥@%&！

"By disrupting the rules and deconstructing cognition, you will gain endless magic and powerful spells."

"The true name of all things is eternal and unchanging. To explore the origin of the elements and dismantle the structure of magic is to be a true mage."

"Tearing apart dimensional barriers, folding dimensional coordinates, and constructing dimensional passages—this is how we mages should act."

Livy wrote the following in his autobiography.

On the title page, he left a heartfelt reflection:

"Spells are like clothes; only by removing them can you see the true nature of magic."

Chapter 1: The Racially Discriminatory Grand Continent

“Every living being wants to change the continent of Grand, but no one wants to change themselves.”

Li Wei glanced at the book title and was quite surprised that such a philosophical theory appeared in this book.

It's as incongruous as the "Smoking is harmful to your health" warning on a cigarette pack.

Connecting to the previous paragraph.

"Livia is a girl with half orc blood, half human blood, and a trace of elven blood. Every day she criticizes the Grand Continent for only liking pure-blooded elves and discriminating against mixed-race races like her. She believes that all living beings are the culprits of racial discrimination."

She refused to grow her hair long, take off her animal skin skirt, and wash herself with clean water instead of rubbing herself with yellow mud, abandoning that damned primitive aesthetic.

That's right.

This is more in line with the book title, "A Pictorial Guide to Exotic Girls in the Grand Continent".

"What are you looking at?"

The dwarf Duron, with his legs crossed, leaned closer to Li Wei and said dejectedly, "It's not dwarven language, nor is it the common language of the continent. What kind of language is this?"

late at night.

In the Scandinavian Mountains.

An open meadow, beside a campfire.

Li Wei made a "shh" gesture and whispered, "This is the language of the Kuso region."

"What kind of godforsaken place is Kuso? Is it more famous than my dwarven holy land, Copperforest?"

"Duron the dwarf hummed."

The orc sitting opposite Li Wei was displeased upon hearing this.

He picked up the machete beside him and pointed it at Dulong, saying:

"You damned dwarf, if you let me hear another insult to the sacred site of Kuso for the Bilal orcs, I'll cleave you in two with a cleaver taller than you!"

"Bilal" means "brave" in the common Orc language.

They were shorter than other orcs, and their skin was brownish-green.

Actually, they are a hybrid race that was mated with barbarians in ancient times and has been passed down through generations.

Orcs and barbarians had long since broken ties, and the Bilal orcs, fearing being purged by the orc race, named themselves "brave orcs."

Their foreheads were high and prominent, retaining the distinctive features of savages.

The Kuso region was once inhabited by barbarians and orcs, but is now a desert.

It is regarded as a spiritual home by the Bilal orcs.

The dwarf Duron hates being called a "dwarf".

A large-scale survey of forbidden words among the dwarves was conducted, and "dwarf" was listed as the top forbidden word.

They protested countless times to various organizations and forces across the Grand Continent, demanding that "dwarf" be listed as a forbidden word.

However, this move drew protests from the "dwarf" community, who considered it a form of racial discrimination.

The two sides are arguing fiercely, and there is still no conclusion.

"Bastard!"

Duron cursed in a low voice in Dwarven.

"Li Wei, did that dwarf insult me?"

The orcs couldn't understand the dwarven language and asked Livy for help.

Li Wei glanced sideways at the unmoved female knight-errant by the campfire and kindly explained in Kuso:

He said that the Bilal orcs were a race that was accidentally intermingled with barbarians and orcs, and were disliked by both orcs and barbarians.

The dwarf Duron couldn't understand, but the enraged orc had already raised his greatsword to strike him.

"All right!"

A sharp shout interrupted the great battle that had been stirred up by Li Wei.

In the shadow of the campfire, the slender woman stood up.

She wore close-fitting leather armor and trousers, carried a quiver of arrows on her back, and had poisoned daggers stuck in the calves of her boots.

Her hair was brown, her eyes were sky blue, and her body was defined by leather armor, leaving much to the imagination.

Li Wei had speculated that "Yulia" was a pure-blooded human from the "White Tower Region" in the north, but Yulia spoke with an extremely heavy southern accent.

"You little rascal, are you out of your mind?"

Yulia, looking down at Li Wei, reprimanded him for sowing discord among his teammates. Her words were automatically translated by Li Wei into a southern dialect he was familiar with from his previous life...

Nearby, there was only a roaring campfire, the angry ranger Yulia blocking the flames, the Navia Mountains overgrown with wild grass and spruce trees, owls hooting, and insects rustling and nibbling on the grass roots under the grass.

Accompanied by Yulia's soft, whispered words in his mind, Li Wei dreamt of his past life.

I'm very angry.

Li Weigang correctly predicted Spain's upset victory in their first World Cup match.

However, he died from excessive excitement.

His physical body was transported to another world, where he died and was reborn, returning to the physical state of an 18-year-old.

Li Wei has been in the Grand Continent for three months, and from the initial confusion, he has gradually figured out the rules of survival in this other world.

Join the Adventurers' Guild and start by trimming the yard weeds, gradually progressing to following adventurer teams out of town to do quests.

It has grown and changed tremendously.

"Li Wei, are you even listening to me?!"

Julia's slender hand pressed on Levi's book, and she leaned down and said seriously.

Li Wei closed the book.

A notification popped up in front of him that only he could see.

Knowledge +0.01%

After reading twelve different books, he finally saw the [Knowledge] indicator increase again.

He originally intended to confront Yulia, who had "violated the contract," but changed his mind after a prompt appeared.

Li Wei was in a good mood and reasoned with her.

"We've passed the goblin colony in the Navia Mountains. If we keep going, we'll reach the mud monster colony, located at the junction of the outer and middle rings of the Navia Mountains."

“You, Duron, and Bones are all Level 1 professionals, and I am a near-Level 1 mage. If any unusual noise alerts the monsters in the central circle of Navia, who can escape?”

“Captain Yulia, in our contract, I only agreed to break the magic stone tablet in the goblin gathering area, not to go deep into the mud monster gathering area.”

Dulong patted his chest and assured him, "The mighty dwarven warriors will protect you!"

The orc skeleton sneered, gesturing that Duron was only up to his knees, and mocked:

"You? Even taking a piss is a life-or-death crisis for you. You'd better stay away from me when you sleep, lest I roll over and crush you to death."

"Only the Bilal orcs can protect the near-level 1 mage, Levi!"

Dulong didn't refute this time, but smiled and said:

“You’re right. My parents saw me off when I left my hometown. My father said I was the pride of the family. But where is your father?”

Bones paused, then cursed in orcish language, "You damned dwarf."

"Orc father" is a figurative term; it can refer to anything, but not an orc.

Because promiscuous orcs never stay in one place.

Julia looked at the composed Levi and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Add more money, I want 30% of the Magic Stone Tablet's contents."

"it is good."

Julia was delighted.

It is unknown when the magic stone tablet appeared on the continent of Grand.

The location of each magic stone tablet is filled with a large amount of magic.

Magic attracts monsters, which is extremely dangerous.

However, each magic stone tablet that is deciphered has a chance to yield: gold coins, skill scrolls, knowledge books, weapons and equipment, precious gems, and so on.

Only a learned mage can decipher the magic stone tablet.

Yulia was just an ordinary adventurer captain who accidentally obtained the coordinates of the magic stone tablet but couldn't afford an expensive learned mage.

After much back and forth, Li Wei took on her task.

The group of four traveled from Rolling Stones to the Navia Mountains.

They dreamt of cracking the magic stone and making a fortune.

Level 1 Human Ranger, Level 1 Dwarf Warrior, Level 1 Orc Warrior, Level 1 Human Mage (near Level 1).

Li Wei and his three companions appeared to be nothing more than a rabble.

He wasn't just willing to risk his life with Julia for money.

Concentrating intently, a row of azure blue light screens appeared before my eyes.
