Mages, Adventurers, and Women

By the time the leader of the barbarians realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Li Wei was not seen reciting any mysterious incantations.

But then his face turned pale.

Two identical fireballs appeared above the heads of the other two barbarians besides the lead barbarian.

The fireball appeared out of thin air and crashed down.

It took the lives of two barbarians.

By unleashing three fireballs in succession, Li Wei single-handedly turned the tide of the battle.

Yulia, Duron, and Bones were completely dumbfounded.

They had seen or heard of mages using fireballs to some extent.

They all appeared in the palm of the hand after the incantation was recited, and then thrown out...

Unlike Li Wei.

Immediately project a fireball above the enemy's head!

"What are you standing there for? Go kill him!"

Exhausted, Li Wei sat down on the ground to catch his breath and shouted to the stunned Julia and the other two.

Yulia and her two companions then realized what was happening and hurriedly went to hunt down the last barbarian.

The barbarian leader was terrified by Li Wei's masterful fireball technique.

He had no desire to fight and only wanted to escape back to Rolling Stone Town.

The bones won't allow it.

He fought the barbarian leader hand-to-hand with brutal ferocity, and despite having a bloodline missing from his face, he did not fall behind.

Li Wei's power gave the bones endless motivation and also made the leading barbarian lose the will to fight.

This is a long time.

The bones stood in stark contrast to the leading barbarian.

Finally, the skeleton found an opportunity and grabbed the leader of the barbarians from behind by the neck. The dwarf Duron was quick-witted and swiftly swept his newly bought longsword across the neck.

His feet were separated from the lead barbarian.

whoosh-

Julia's arrow struck the barbarian's brow with pinpoint accuracy.

"If Dark Mage Li Wei can kill his teammates once, he can kill them a second time. You'll all be slaughtered by him sooner or later!"

"I will become an undead creature and wait for you!"

The leader of the barbarians shouted defiantly before he died.

The tricky battle ended without any major incident.

night.

On the steppes near Scandinavia.

Li Wei and his three companions sat around the campfire.

Bones and Duro donned the barbarian gang's armor, and there were still burn marks left by the fireball spell on the round openings around their necks.

The three of them followed Livy's example, holding a book and reading it by the light of the campfire.

I can't understand the content, and I have no interest in reading it.

Their eyes fell on Li Wei, hesitant to speak, yet wanting to speak again.

They witnessed the power of the sorcerer through Li Wei.

He also witnessed a mystery in Li Wei that other mages did not possess.

Yulia noticed that Levi wasn't interested in discussing the mysterious and powerful fireball technique.

She turned her gaze to Bones and Duron.

He scolded, "I told you before we parted not to reveal your wealth. There are so many poor people in Rolling Stone Town. If you show that you're rich, today's barbarian ambush will not be the last!"

Bone shrugged, indignantly saying:

"I only slept with a few dancing girls for two nights, and I only spent two gold coins in total. How could I have known that such a small amount of money would attract the attention of those poor bastards? What damn bad luck!"

"Two gold coins are a pittance?!" Yulia laughed in exasperation.

Dulong followed closely behind, saying shamelessly:

"Don't look at me like that, I haven't sobered up for three days. I have no idea how many gold coins I've spent on drinking—but we have Li Wei, so what's there to be afraid of? In Rolling Stone Town, who can match Li Wei's fireball?!"

Yulia was furious with the two of them.

Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of curses, Li Wei stopped him.

After a daytime battle.

Julia respected Li Wei's opinion.

Rolling Stone Town respects the strong, and so do adventurer parties.

Li Wei said calmly:

“The hard life in Rolling Stone Town needs hope, and vibrant lives need women. Countless bitter days and countless worries need to be told.”

"We're trapped in Rolling Stone Town, surrounded by monster hills. We might be torn to shreds by monsters in our sleep one day. Even if we don't die in our dreams, there are all sorts of unexpected challenges waiting for us. If alcohol and women can stimulate our desire to live, I think that's pretty good."

"I understand their choice."

Bone pounded his chest excitedly and exclaimed, "Master, you really know how to speak!"

Duron was equally grateful.

Li Wei smiled and agreed, then changed the subject.

He said coldly:

“But… we are a team of adventurers! Your every move will affect my and Julia’s situation. Reckless indulgence will only bring disaster.”

"If the two of you are destined to bring trouble to innocent me and Yulia..."

Li Wei looked at Julia and suggested:

"Why don't we kill them both here and go back to Rolling Stone Town to recruit two more dwarf and orc warriors?"

"The continent of Grand is never short of dwarves and orcs like locusts."

……

……

Chapter 10: Captain, you have a huge thirst for power!

It was another quiet night, and the campfire was still glowing.

Sitting down on the grass near the Scandinavian Mountains, resting by the campfire, it was another late night filled with the chirping of insects, and another tense atmosphere.

the difference is.

Julia stood firmly beside Li Wei.

"No!"

Bone, with a mournful face, tried to salvage the situation:

"There are indeed many orcs, but there are not many brave Bilal orcs. I am the only Bilal orc in the entire Rolling Stone Town."

The dwarf Duron was so anxious that he kept rubbing his feet.

He did not possess the rare "racial identity" of the Bone.

Neither of them wanted to go against Li Wei.

They didn't dare to oppose them.

The sight of the barbarians' deaths during the day was still vivid in my mind.

Moreover, although Li Wei was despicable, vulgar, and shameless, his erudition brought great help and benefits to the adventurer's party.

Before the magical stone tablet that deconstructs the area where the mud monsters gather, the bone never touched the dancer's hand.

Expensive prostitutes, when faced with lowly orcs, will show no pity whatsoever except demanding "more money."

The same applies to Duron.

Before this, he was only fit to drink wheat wine mixed with sewage.

Rolling Stone Town is impoverished, yet its cost of living rivals that of bustling cities on the Grand Continent.

He knelt beside the campfire with Bone, making every effort to promise that this was the last time he would indulge himself without any limits, and that he would absolutely listen to Li Wei from now on.

Li Wei glanced at the two of them sideways.

She asked, "Then I'd like to recommend myself as the vice-captain of our Yulia Adventure Team. Do you agree?"

Bones and Duron quickly replied, "Agreed!"

"Alright, I'll arrange everything concerning the team's interests, from currency distribution and mission acceptance to your daily lives. Does anyone have any objections?"

Despite their reluctance, Bones and Duron had no choice but to accept it.

Yulia was displeased and retorted:

"Li Wei, you're the captain and I'm the captain? You make all the decisions, what about me?"

Li Wei comforted her, saying, "You decide my decision."

Yulia nodded sheepishly, then said proudly, "That's more like it."

Seeing that Bones and Duron still had some minor disagreements, Li Wei added, "Take a look at your left elbows, have the black lines reappeared?"

Duron and the skeleton rolled up their sleeves, and there was indeed a black line.

They dismissed it, saying, "Li Wei, didn't you say this was a magic trick?"

Li Wei did not answer.

Look southeast.

It rustled and swayed among the waist-high weeds.

It looks like it was blown by the wind.

But in Li Wei's perception, the elements and magic there were thinner than in other places.

It's like a vacuum zone that was intentionally left out.

The book "The Untold Secrets of Monsters and Mages" tells an interesting story.

Monsters are born with magic different from that of the Grand Continent, and are repelled by the magic and elements of the Grand Continent.

It's like how locals discriminate against outsiders.

Magic-based professionals can locate hidden monsters by observing the surrounding elements and magical energy.

Li Wei commanded, "There should be a lone goblin over there. Go and catch it."

Bones and Duron were puzzled.

The direction Li Wei pointed to was completely silent.

But neither of them dared to disobey Li Wei's orders.

The two men approached casually, carrying their weapons.

As they drew nearer, Bones and Duron paused.

They exchanged a glance and thought to themselves, "A demon!"

The two sides were less than ten meters apart, and the stench from the goblin wafted on the wind.

The two became alert and rushed forward with all their might.

"kill!"
