Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Fortunately, it lacked culture.

These treasures have found their true owners.

"Praise be to the generosity of the green dwarfs!"

Chapter 13: Li Wei Touches a Mysterious World

The bones' exclamation brought the exhausted Julia and the drooping arms of Duron to their aid.

The two squeezed into the wooden house.

His gaze was fixed on the area around the magic stone tablet, unable to look away even for a moment.

As if experiencing a final burst of energy, Dulong spoke with a strong voice:

"Li Wei, I need the best priest in Rolling Rock to cast a healing spell on me!"

Yulia subconsciously rubbed the surface of her skin, hoping:

"Li Wei, a new hot spring resort has opened in the Rolling Stone District commercial street. I heard it's a branch of a hot spring resort opened by a noble lady from the Golden Kingdom's capital. Would you like to take me to soak in the hot spring?"

"I haven't showered in ages, I stink!"

Yulia never bathed in her entire life, yet she never smelled bad.

But because she hadn't showered in a long time, she always felt like her skin was covered with a layer of "armor," which was very uncomfortable.

The commercial street is the most bustling area in Rolling Stone District and even Rolling Stone Town.

For Julia and most of the lower-class adventurers in Rolling Stone, it was "paradise".

Bones grinned and said, "I want to eat the barbecue from the commercial street. That's definitely the most 'barbaric' food on the Grand Continent!"

"Baru" is a dialect of the Kuso region.

It has the same meaning as "Kurić".

The only difference is the context in which they are used.

Kurich is used to express indignation or dissatisfaction when one is emotionally agitated.

Balu, just like now, expresses his hopes for a bright future.

There are 23 stones shimmering with magical fluorescence around the Magic Stone Tablet, and 21 gems containing magical power.

It cannot compare to the quality of gems produced in the Mud Monster's territory.

But the quantity is large.

John, who is fond of widows, will surely offer a good price for her.

As the "vice-captain of Yulia's squad," Li Wei made the decision:

"Let's get back to Rolling Stone and find the best priest to heal Duron first, then we'll go shopping in the commercial district!"

Bones and Duron raised their arms and shouted.

Julia smiled radiantly.

This mission was fruitful, though the process was full of ups and downs and fraught with danger.

The outcome was a close call, but no serious harm was done.

Everyone needs to relax and unwind.

Moreover, Li Wei's tacit acceptance of Julia's desire to go to the hot springs was an invitation for him to bathe together.

Regardless of whether Yulia meant it or not.

He agreed to everything.

Yulia, along with Bone and Duron, carefully collected the treasures around the magic stone tablet.

Then he took the two of them outside and piled up the dead goblin corpses together, and burned them when they left.

Li Wei was the only one left in the room.

"Yulia deliberately sent them away to give me time to study the magic stone tablet?"

Yulia knew that the magic stone tablet that Levi deconstructed was different from others; this was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

The dark magic stone tablet had no magic power whatsoever.

It's like a grave that hasn't been cleaned for years.

Dull, lonely, and empty.

Li Wei used the same method he had used to deconstruct the magic stone tablet in the mud monster gathering area to deconstruct this gloomy magic stone tablet.

A profound sense of loneliness suddenly overwhelmed his senses.

Everything before my eyes was gloomy.

It felt like stepping inside a stone tablet.

Looking around.

Dark, deep, and boundless.

There wasn't even a glimmer of light.

Here, all senses are swallowed up.

Life seemed frozen; Li Wei couldn't even tell if he was still alive.

He tried every possible way to leave, but to no avail.

Calm down and try to distract yourself by thinking about the secret language of the Fireball spell.

A single thought can have extraordinary effects.

A new change is emerging in this desolate world.

Slight traces of fire element appeared sporadically.

They leaped around Li Wei like fireflies in the night, flickering and bringing hope.

He was so engrossed in the insights he gained from the research that he couldn't tear himself away.

They quickly progressed from Fireball to Chain Fireball and then to Great Fireball.

"Li Wei! Li Wei!"

Julia's urgent shout interrupted Levi's reverie.

He suddenly came to his senses.

But he saw Julia looking at him anxiously.

"Yulia?"

Li Wei's voice was hoarse, his throat felt like it had swallowed a handful of sand from outside Rolling Stone Town, both painful and itchy...

Yulia was filled with anxiety and whispered:

"Are you alright? Are you alright...?"

Bones and Duron blocked the doorway, anxiously asking, "Yulia, Captain Levi... is he awake?"

[Element +5%]

[Exploration +5%]

[Deconstruction +1%]

[Truth +0.1%]

……

Looking at the notification that popped up in front of him, Li Wei realized that something unexpected had just happened.

If it weren't for Julia waking him up.

Will his spirit remain forever immersed in that dark world, until his body starves or dies of thirst?

"That was close!"

The magic stone tablet has disappeared.

It left behind a ground covered in grayish-brown dust.

"What... happened to me?"

Li Wei asked in a hoarse voice.

Instead of answering what had happened, Yulia asked nervously:

"Li Wei, I ask you, what did you do to me by the campfire on the way here?"

Li Wei frowned slightly: "Is it very important?"

Yulia said solemnly, "It's very important!"

"I played with your feet."

It was an offensive remark, but it made Julia breathe a sigh of relief. She exclaimed excitedly:

"It's the real Livy!"

Bones and Duron rushed into the house and began to explain to Li Wei, one sentence at a time.

I don't know what happened to Li Wei before.

Sitting next to the magic stone tablet.

Surrounded by restless fire elements—pale yellow flames—Yulia and her companions dared not approach.

Li Wei kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

I sat there from nightfall until nightfall the next day.

This terrified Yulia and the other two.

Yulia said that Livi encountered a situation that bards often described as "powerful monsters liking to possess human bodies."

"Captain Li Wei has turned into a monster?"

Fortunately, all the speculation has been dispelled.

Li Wei hadn't expected so much time to pass; in his perception, it felt like less than a minute had gone by.

"Could it be a sudden enlightenment?"

Whether it was an epiphany or not, Li Wei gained a lot.

[Rationality Lv0: 89.02%]

[Exploration Lv0: 59.24%] ↑5%

Knowledge Lv0: 52.36%

[Truth Lv0: 1.68%] ↑0.1%

[Deconstruction Lv0: 8.21%] ↑1%

[Element Lv1: 6.04%] ↑5%

Unlike the previous deconstruction of the mud monster's magic stone tablet, this time, the deconstruction actually added [Truth].

Of the six panels, [Truth] is the most unique.

Since Li Wei transmigrated to the Grand Continent, his stats have been at [1.58%], and this has only changed now.

Compared to the subtle changes of exploration and deconstruction, and the obscurity of truth, the changes of elements are the most straightforward.

With the "Chain Fireball Technique" firmly in mind, Li Wei felt that as long as he struck while the iron was hot, he could use it as easily as the Fireball Technique.

The "Great Fireball" spell is no longer as obscure and difficult to understand as before.

If facing a goblin camp at this moment, without Julia needing to shoot arrows to force the goblin priest out, Li Wei could simply use a series of fireballs to force the goblin priest out...

Li Wei had a bit of a grasp of the meaning.
