Mages, Adventurers, and Women

[Reward: 200 gold coins, 30 goblin points.]

[Limited Time Offer: None]

[Quest Requirement: Bring back the eyes of the Tier 1 Black Dragon-level undead creature, the Howling Banshee.]

"Behind the abandoned auditorium in Moon Town is an abandoned ancient well that spews necromantic elements. Destroying it will dispel the necromantic fog in Moon Town."

"Before that, we need to deal with the Tier 1 Black Dragon-level magical beast Rock Serpent and its tribe active in Moon Town; Tier 1 Black Dragon-level magical creature Typhoon Giant and its tribe; Tier 1 Black Dragon-level magical beast Gale Bear; and Tier 1 Black Dragon-level magical beast Flame Fox."

"I've said this many times on the way here, and I'll reiterate it one last time. Everyone knows about the Gale Giant, but be careful of the Earth Serpent's 'Earth Spikes' and don't let it disrupt your formation. The Gale Bear has wind-type skills, the Flame Fox has fire-type skills, and you and Bone will work together to block wind-type skills. I'll handle the fire-type skills."

“Sylvie, Moon Town is full of necromantic elements. Your priest's protection cannot stop. Continue to cast 'Blessing' on Julia and prepare 'Purification' to dispel the necromantic elements' influence on everyone. I suspect that the peaceful coexistence of monsters and beasts in Moon Town is inextricably linked to the necromantic elements.”

"After we've defeated all the enemies above, we'll make our way to the abandoned auditorium. Once I've deconstructed it and broken the only secret magic array protecting the abandoned well, we'll find the abandoned well behind the auditorium, blow it up, kill the howling banshee guarding it, and take its eyes as proof of completing the Moon Town mission. Then we can head to the Golden Kingdom and escape this increasingly abnormal and broken place, the Demon Hills!"

"During the battle, maintain formation, and the rest of you can move freely—especially you, Bone. Once we step into Moon Town, we will definitely be attacked by monsters and beasts. You can move freely and fill in any gaps in the formation's defense."

Li Wei patiently gave his instructions.

Yulia's team was brimming with confidence after just dealing with the parasitic coral.

Bones and Duron said confidently, "Don't worry, they're just Tier 1 Black Dragon-level monsters and magical beasts!"

Yulia said arrogantly, "My Explosive Arrow will destroy every single Tier 1 Black Dragon trash that appears!"

Sylvie replied with equal ease, "My priest's protection can last until Julia's squad leaves Moon Town."

Li Wei also felt there was no need to be nervous. The overall strength of Yulia's squad was not afraid of any Tier 1 Black Dragon level enemy. The only troublesome enemy in Moon Town was the Howling Banshee, a Tier 1 Black Dragon level undead creature with mental attacks, whose strength was very close to that of a Tier 1 Silver Dragon.

But the team has the "Great" Priest Sylvie, who is the most effective counter to undead creatures.

Its strength will be greatly reduced, just like the parasitic coral leader we encountered before.

Unlike the other four, Li Wei remained vigilant; his rationality kept him sufficiently cautious. He said:

"Take a break for the last half hour, then head to Moon Town."

Duron and Bones were polishing the large shield, striving for perfection.

Yulia began assigning the order of use for Stealth Arrow and Explosive Arrow. Explosive Arrow was a "Hunter's Skill" she had recently mastered during her intensive training with Ranger Vice-President Dolly in Rolling Stone Town, and it was incredibly powerful.

Sylvie is "meditation," which is the most common way for magic-based professionals to restore and enhance their magic and elemental power.

Because of his "mastery of all elements," Li Wei doesn't need to meditate; the elements will rush into his body like the dancers of Rolling Stone, actively helping him to quickly recover from his losses.

He remained calm and composed, always keeping a close watch on Moon Town.

[Rationality +0.01%]

Huh?

This is the second time Li Wei has gained [Rationality] points under the bed.

[Rationality Lv1: 3.98%] ↑2.06%

[Exploration Lv0: 74.23%] ↑3.12%

[Knowledge Lv0: 59.61%] ↑1.06%

【Truth Lv0: 1.70%】

[Deconstruction Lv0: 16.31%]

[Element Lv1: 42.53%] ↑3.5%

Li Wei thought to himself, "My rationality has improved so quickly, thanks to the spotless and flawless Melanie and the 268-year-old elf Orisa... Orisa, yes, Orisa!"

[Exploration] and [Knowledge] complement each other. Thanks to his recent time spent studying Casano City, Lionheart Kingdom, Moon Town, and his previous accumulation, his improvement has been quite rapid.

As before, Li Wei had previously determined that the moment [Truth] advanced would be the moment of achieving legendary status, so the slow progress was understandable.

[Rationality] When advancing, he helped Li Wei light up the "Eleven Element Crystals". He guessed that apart from [Element] being closely related to his own strength, the other attribute values ​​represented different futures.

The only certainty is that the slower and more difficult the promotion, the stronger the feedback after promotion.

[Element] As usual, it is growing at a snail's pace, increasing by only 0.5% per day.

If Sylvie, a fellow magic user, heard him recounting these thoughts, she would definitely point her finger at Li Wei and berate him for being ungrateful. She said that among all the talented magic users in the Golden Kingdom, none could match Li Wei's rate of progress; they would be laughing in their sleep.

[Elements] Reaching 50% means that Li Wei's second elemental system is complete, and he can start working on the next elemental system. However, his current situation is somewhat special.

The Necromantic system is not yet fully mastered, but the first-tier Earth-type six inherited spells—Stone Smash, Sandstorm, Earthquake, Falling Rocks, Mud Trap, and Earth Spikes—have caught up with the Necromantic spell progress, and the first four have been successfully mastered.

Mud traps and earth spikes, along with the last two spells in the necromancy tradition—Hand of Bones and Howl of the Dead—have the same requirements: [Elemental Lv1: 45%] and [Elemental Lv1: 50%], respectively, to begin learning them.

Eleven-element crystals appeared on my left wrist.

Fire element is bright;

Necromancer, Earth-type semi-divine;

Spirit, light, thunder, wind, ice, alchemy, water, and nature are all illuminated.

Sylvie caught a glimpse of Levi showing off the elemental crystal out of the corner of her eye.

He muttered, "Li Wei, if Teacher Fiena saw you, she would definitely take you as her student."

Li Wei put away the elemental crystals, and while refining the spell, he thought to himself:

"is it?"

"Does Lady Fiena have large breasts?"

Sylvie was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Levi! I'm ignoring you!"

Li Wei asked, puzzled, "Why?"

He had met two Tier 3 magic users: Frey and Melanie.

Both of them possessed remarkable breadth of vision, especially Melanie, whom he had carefully observed and studied; she was all-natural and genuine.

I thought that female magic-based professionals would all grow bigger after reaching Tier 3.

Although there is no research in this area in academia.

Judging from Sylvie's reaction, it doesn't seem to be the case?

As with his previous battle against the parasitic coral, Levi will not consider using earth magic. He hasn't "infiltrated" it yet, and single earth magic spells are generally ineffective.

In combat, prioritize Fire and Necromancer types, or more precisely, a fusion of Necromancer and "Fire Blast".

This is the most powerful elemental combination that Li Wei currently possesses.

Limited by his limited perspective, Li Wei has not yet developed more combinations of elements.

He thought that the Golden Kingdom must have an astonishing amount of books on magical fusion. If he could get his hands on some of them and study them, they might provide him with more ideas.

Compared to the Golden Kingdom.

Rolling Stones is too small.

Half an hour later.

Li Wei said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle!"

Dulong, standing at the forefront, erected a massive 3.5-meter shield, resembling a bulldozer, taking the lead.

With shield fragments strapped to his elbows and knees, he roamed around Duro, always on guard against unexpected ambushes.

Li Wei, as the central brain of Yulia's squad, took command from the center.

To his right was Yulia, her invisible arrows and explosive arrows concealed, yet not yet fired.

After Sylvie stepped in and bestowed a "blessing" upon Julia, she activated the Priest's Protection to shield Julia's team of five.

As soon as Yulia's squad crossed the mist of Moon Town, they saw a group of giant pythons and Typhon giants roaring as they attacked.

Li Wei had already made preparations.

"Spiritual communication!"

"call!"

Two necromancy spells were used simultaneously.

A large number of pale skeletons appeared around Yulia's squad, freely forming scorpions and rats, and charging towards the oncoming ordinary rock pythons and Typhon giants.

Then, a deafening explosion occurred.

The quiet Moon Town is bustling with activity again after a long time.

The level 1 Black Dragon-level Rock Python leader, the Typhoon Giant leader, the Gale Bear, and the Flame Fox, who were hiding in the shadows, were forced to reveal themselves.

"Shorty, watch out for Gale Bear's wind-type skills!"

The Gale Bear was over five meters tall. As soon as it appeared, it spat out wind blades half a meter long, which swept towards Yulia's team.

"Shield Technique: Rock!"

The dwarf roared, pushed off with his hind legs, and charged forward with his large shield raised!

boom--

The wind blade struck the great shield, dissipating into a shattered mass of wind elemental energy.

The dwarf chuckled and laughed, "Hey! You're not even half as strong as the parasitic coral leader!"

The second most threatening Flame Fox was completely countered by Li Wei.

They both play with fire.

Even the Fiery Fox isn't worthy to carry Li Wei's shoes.

Whenever it prepares to use a fire spell, Livi's fireball or big fireball will suddenly hit it in the face.

Protected by a large number of undead skeletons, Yulia's squad advanced in an orderly manner.

After clearing out the mobs, Li Wei began to plot against the four Tier 1 Black Dragon enemies.

"Yulia, use Explosive Arrow!"

At the same time, his bone spear reappeared, combined with fireballs and lightning orbs, and worked with Yulia's explosive arrows to start the harvest.

boom--

boom--

……

The abandoned auditorium in Moon Town is located at the highest point of the town.

The hall had a long, narrow roof. The dwarf Borandu had cursed those creatures he discriminated against, saying they would be struck by lightning like rats climbing the spire during a thunderstorm. Li Wei looked around the abandoned hall covered with arcane characters and suspected that this was where Borandu had held his wedding with his "Wild Dog" dwarf wife.

Despite the peeling paint and dilapidated state of the walls, one can still discern the bustling scene of the past.

Yulia's squad made good progress in the early stages.

The four Tier 1 Black Dragon-level monsters and beasts are no match for Yulia's current squad.

The four members of the team stood protectively beside Li Wei, looking relaxed.

Bone hesitated, remembering Li Wei's earlier warning, and kept his words "everything went smoothly" to himself, not daring to utter a sound.

Li Wei observed the abandoned auditorium with a spying eye, and as he looked, he suddenly chuckled.

Inside the auditorium, there were two bright, magical stone tablets placed side by side.

……

……

Chapter 82: Doing something big before leaving

The mission in Moon Town was surprisingly easy.

Little Freckles Sylvie sees Levi deconstructing the arcane characters on the surface of the abandoned auditorium.

He said casually:

"Li Wei, will this time include any obscure fables similar to 'Orcs Learning to Talk,' 'The Dwarf's Longsword,' 'The Proud Dwarf,' and the 'Dragon's Tooth Plaque,' 'Orc House,' and 'The Dwarf Encyclopedia,' which you later deconstructed during the commercial district bombing incident?"

Duron and Bones thought Sylvie was being kind.

As soon as "The Dwarf's Encyclopedia" appeared, even the newly born orcs knew that the six stories she told were definitely related to racial discrimination.

"Kurich!"
