Mages, Adventurers, and Women

With Li Wei's current magic reserves, it's not enough for him to cast [Chain Fireball]. He needs to increase his elemental progress by another 2-3% to master Chain Fireball like he does with Fireball.

The next day.

Li Wei, Julia, Bones, and Duron gathered in front of the Adventurers' Guild.

Li Wei had the skeleton carry a huge bundle for him, which contained nearly fifty books.

Samantha stole it from her mother.

There are all kinds of types.

Samantha was genuinely happy to receive Levi's assurance that he would break off all ties with Elda, and she tried her best to provide Levi with what he needed. Unfortunately, Samantha was also poor and didn't have any extra gold coins to give Levi.

Samantha's poverty is the norm for 99% of working professionals.

The gold coins will be used up in just a few days once you get them.

Leaving Rolling Stone and setting off again towards the Navia Mountains, Yulia said resentfully:

"Li Wei, you're the captain and I'm the captain? Why should it be you who decides where we do missions?"

Li Wei glanced at her and said, "If we listen to you, can we still go back to Rolling Stone Town?"

He explained the background of the two tasks that Julia favored, and Julia stammered but stubbornly insisted:

"Then it's my decision as the captain!"

"I'll definitely do it next time," Li Wei replied dismissively.

Both Bones and Duron had their grievances.

My bones have been soaking in the dance hall for the past three days, and my body is completely drained and weak.

Dulong was drunk for three consecutive days, and he still smells of cheap liquor on him.

The two were drowsy, their eyelids drooping, extremely sleepy.

Snapped--

Snapped--

Li Wei used his magic hand to slap the two of them, bringing them back to their senses.

Bones and Duron were about to start cursing.

But then they saw Li Wei and Julia looking seriously into the distance.

Four barbarian adventurers approached with wicked grins.

He was the one who harassed Julia at the Adventurers' Guild and got beaten up by Levi by his hair.

The barbarian, who had been brutally beaten by Li Wei, sneered:

"We've been waiting for you here all day."

"My brother said that after seeing that little earthen jar and the big green rat return to Rolling Stone Town, they used gold coins as copper coins. I bet you guys have a way to make money, right?"

"Do you want to tell us while you're still alive, or do you want to be tortured until you're on your last breath?"

The barbarian leader kept his eyes fixed on Li Wei as he spoke.

He had not forgotten the humiliation Li Wei had brought him.

They were also on guard against Li Wei's unexpected "magic hand".

Unaware that Li Wei's arsenal had been updated with the "Fireball" spell.

……

……

Chapter 9: Countless bitter days and countless worries to be poured out

"Me? A small earthenware jar?!"

"Me? A green-skinned rat?!"

"Kurich!"

Duron and Bones, sharing the same indignation, exclaimed in unison, "This is fucking racist!"

Both of them drew their weapons at the same time.

Bones roared, "You mud-covered wild boar, how dare you mock the noble Bilal orcs?!"

"Mud smeared on crotch" specifically refers to the crude lifestyle of barbarians.

"Wild boar" is a derogatory term used in the continent of Grand to refer to the appearance of barbarians.

Dulong retorted defiantly, "A race even lower than goblins, cowards who were the first to surrender when the continent of Grande resisted the invasion of monsters, how dare you mock the great dwarf warriors?!"

The history of the Grand Continent resisting the invasion of monsters can be traced back thousands of years.

Only fragments of it have survived to this day.

But the barbarian race's actions were turned into songs by bards and spread widely.

They were the first race on the continent of Grand to surrender and defect during the war against the invasion of monsters.

Humans, dwarves, orcs, elves, and other races fought to the death, which prevented the continent of Grand from becoming a home for monsters.

The leading barbarian warrior was rendered speechless by the insults from Bones and Duron.

He drew his weapon and said menacingly, "I'll pull your tongues out and shove them up a goblin's ass!"

Duron and Bones took a step forward.

Both sides underwent a complete transformation in their weaponry.

Deciphering the magic stone tablet in the Mud Monster's gathering area yielded rich rewards.

After dividing the spoils, the generous Bones and Duron upgraded their weapons before indulging in pleasure.

Duron switched to a standard "Dwarf Blacksmith" longsword.

The quality of their weapons is comparable to that of the soldiers in the armies of the Duchy of Sand and the Duchy of Storms.

Bones replaced his sword with a broadsword that was even taller than Duron's.

It was incredibly heavy and gleamed with a dark light.

Yulia's expression was grave.

They and the four barbarian warriors were all level 1 professionals.

However, there are differences even among Level 1 professionals.

The four barbarians opposite each had two lines of blood extending from their left eye to the left corner of their mouth.

There is only one bone and Duron.

Yulia had two lines of blood on the back of her left hand.

This is one of the main characteristics that distinguishes Level 1 professionals.

When a warrior is fully prepared for battle, the health bar appears on their face.

The wandering knight floats on the back of his hand.

Between level 1 and level 2, there are 12 blood lines. Once all 12 blood lines are visible, you can begin the process of advancing to level 2.

She whispered a word of advice:

"Li Wei, remember to run towards Rolling Stone Town later. At your speed, you can get back to Rolling Stone Town in half a day. The three of us are no match for them, but we can probably hold them off for a while. If we're lucky, we'll meet in Rolling Stone Town."

The bone was shouting fiercely.

They didn't dare to rush out rashly.

Duron lagged behind Bones by half a body length, looking around as if searching for an escape route.

Yulia wore exquisite chainmail she had obtained from the magic stone, and she had recently bought a bow made of pale green wood.

With venom-laden arrows nocked on her bow, Julia aimed at the leading barbarian warrior.

But the other side came prepared.

The four barbarian warriors each carried a wooden shield on their backs.

Seeing Julia draw her bow, he immediately raised his shield to protect himself.

Holding shields in their left hands and longswords in their right, they slowly approached Li Wei and his companions in a fan shape.

Yulia and the other two became increasingly nervous.

Li Wei, on the contrary, remained calm and composed.

Julia urged, "Levi, run! Now!"

Li Wei shook his head.

He put away the book he was reading, "Illustrated Guide to Human-Half-Blood Girls".

She said softly, "There's something I forgot to tell you."

"what?"

“I have removed the word ‘quasi’ from ‘quasi-level 1 mage’.”

Yulia looked at Levi abruptly and exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"

Bone frowned and asked, "So?"

"Bones, do you remember when you asked me why I didn't use fireballs to help you fight?"

Bone said rudely, annoyed:

"Li Wei, this isn't the time for any reminiscing, we might all be stuck here. Spit it out!"

Li Wei pointed to the top of the barbarian's head on the far left: "Look there."

The lead barbarian was startled and shouted:

"Watch out! The Black Mage Levi doesn't need to chant a spell to cast Mage's Hand. Don't let him take advantage of this!"

however.

What appears above the barbarian's head on the left is not the mage's hand.

Instead, it was a fireball burning with scorching flames.

The dark brown fireball was about the size of a barbarian's head.

The scorching heat distorted the space above the barbarian's head on the far left.

"What's this?!"

The barbarian on the far left lost his voice.

Li Wei calmly replied, "Fireball."

The words were spoken.

The fireball rained down!

boom--

The fiery fireball exploded above the barbarian's head on the far left.

He simply didn't have time to put up any effective resistance.

The raging flames engulfed his head.

The flames died down.

All that remained was a face, distorted and burned, resembling a dried-up riverbed.

boom--

He collapsed.

It has lost its breath.

"not good!"

"The Dark Mage Levi can cast fireballs without incantations! We've been tricked!"
