Mages, Adventurers, and Women

The instruction lasted for more than ten minutes.

A ghost floated out of the ground not far away.

It is half a meter off the ground.

Completely naked, resembling a human.

It is light gray all over, expressionless, like a flowing stream, with waves flowing from its head to its feet, repeating endlessly, standing still in place.

Livi instructed Pato to use the fireball spell again in the way he had taught him.

After Pato solemnly finished reciting the incantation.

A fireball the size of a bone fist appeared at the tip of the miniature staff!

Pato, overjoyed, exclaimed as his body was engulfed in pale brown, high-temperature flames:

"It's bigger! It's gotten bigger!"

He aimed at the ghost and unleashed a fireball.

boom--

The fireball exploded on the ghost.

Its pale gray body was blasted into a haphazard, listless state.

Pato exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha! So this is what fireball is all about!"

Although it couldn't compare to the fireball spell used by Li Wei, Pato was quite satisfied with the current effect of the fireball spell.

He chanted the incantation again and cast another fireball.

The ghost was blasted into dust.

Sensing the dramatic change in the Fireball spell, Pato thought to himself, "The Necromancer Flower and the Skeleton Undead Spine Flower are absolutely worth it!"

Pato's transformation attracted the attention of six priests and another elemental mage who had been secretly watching the area.

They discovered that Li Weizhen had the ability to train Pato to a higher level.

Everyone felt an itch in their heart.

He put down his work, called to his teammates, and ran towards Li Wei with a leather bag on his back.

Pato noticed their movements and quickly moved closer to Levi, trying to strike up a conversation:

“Teacher Li Wei, please be careful. One of my men is an adventurer from the Sandstorm District. He said that there is a noblewoman named ‘Belly’ who has been secretly offering a bounty for the mission of severely injuring you.”

He said that every three months, Belle would come to Rolling Stone Town with the "Eternal Heart Airship Chamber of Commerce" and stay for seven or eight days.

"Judging by the time, it's almost here again."

Pato shamelessly changed the title from "Lord Li Wei" to "Teacher Li Wei," attempting to solidify his status as "Li Wei's chief disciple."

Livy noted Pato's reminder.

I didn't notice the change in how Pato was addressed.

The "Eternal Heart Airship Guild" is an airship guild active in the Duchy of Sand, the Duchy of Storms, the Golden Kingdom, and Rolling Stone Town.

Using airships—a product of the fusion of alchemy and magic—they could move freely between the Three Kingdoms and Rolling Stone Town, ignoring the many dangers between them.

Before the advent of "airships," alchemists on the continent of Grand were merely auxiliary professions who made potions and enchanted magic.

Compared to professions like warriors that involve "hard labor," they earn a decent amount, but not as much as magic-based professions; they're somewhere in the middle, not the best, but not the worst either.

Until the advent of airships, alchemy suddenly became a lucrative profession that rivaled "magic-based" professions.

In the northern continent of Grand, where Li Wei is located, there are countless "airship merchants' guilds" of all sizes. Small airship merchants' guilds, like "Eternal Heart," are active in the nooks and crannies of the northern continent, such as the Three Kingdoms and Rolling Stone Town.

Large airship merchants are active throughout the entire northern continent of Grande.

Without exception, the headquarters of the large airship guilds are all located in the "White Tower" area.

If Yulia wants to return to the Eastern Continent by airship, the only airship trading guild on the Northern Continent is located in the "White Tower" region, which connects the two continents.

The other elemental mage is a nature mage.

Li Wei doesn't know any nature magic, nor does he understand priesthood.

But all he needs to know is the language of magic.

Through their chanted incantations, they deciphered the meaning of each arcane character.

Then correct it specifically.

The effect is immediate.

While they may not achieve the same dramatic effects as Pato, they all offer some degree of improvement.

"Lord Li Wei, thank you for your generous help!"

"Lord Li Wei, you are my second father!"

"No, I don't have a son as big as you."

……

Li Wei refused the request to be a "wild father".

If they were to give the encyclopedic book of magic to Livy, who is proficient in all spells, Livy could help them improve significantly by figuring out the key connections between arcane language and communication with elements and magic.

pity.

The treasure trove of knowledge is the most precious thing for every legal professional.

I will never share it with others.

"1529 Necromancer Flowers".

"42 skeletons of undead spines".

With just a few words, Li Wei completed the task of collecting the Death Flower and the spine of the undead.

By simply obtaining the "Ghost Heart" from the mutated ghost, all three adventurer quests can be completed.

Then, you can go deeper into the dark, magical stone tablet map given by "Frei".

He stopped doing the bone quest and started collecting necromancer flowers and undead spine bones.

Looking at Li Wei, who was surrounded by six priests and two elemental mages, he sighed:

Li Wei said knowledge changes destiny. Whether it changes destiny or not, I don't know, but knowledge is damn expensive!

Julia and Duron nodded in agreement.

……

"It's a mutated ghost!"

far away.

Several adventurers exclaimed in surprise.

The only difference between a mutated ghost and a regular ghost is that it wears clothes.

The newly appeared mutated ghost was dressed in a "noble" tailcoat, leaning on a cane, and wearing a top hat, exuding aristocratic airs.

……

……

Chapter 26: Adventurer's Quest Completed

"Li Wei, shall we make a move?"

Bones then turned to Duron beside him and instructed him:

"Shorty, you stay here and guard the good stuff."

Duron cursed, "I will not accept commands from brainless orcs!"

Yulia took out the "Potion of Truth" and prepared to apply it to the poisoned arrows.

Li Wei stopped him abruptly:

"Don't act impulsively."

"Real potions are so expensive, use them sparingly."

Yulia frowned and said, "Any later, and the mutated ghosts will be gone."

"It's not that simple."

Li Wei said with certainty.

The adventurer team inside the mutated ghost's territory had already applied the Reality Potion to their weapons and charged forward with clear division of labor.

After several swings and cuts,

The mutated ghosts' clothes were ripped to shreds by them.

Suddenly, she buried her head in her hands, squatted on the ground, and sobbed.

It's like they've been beaten into submission.

cry?

Even if you cry, you'll still die.

Seeing this, Li Wei quickly reminded him, "Cover your ears!"

Yulia and the other two were unaware of Levi's intentions.

But the three of them trusted Li Wei completely.

Do as instructed immediately and cover your ears.

Pato and the others did not trust Livy as much as Julia and the others.

But then the mutated ghost that was crouching suddenly let out a sharp screech!

"squeak--!"

It sounded like a fingernail scratching against glass.

The tangible ripples of screams spread out from where he was crouching.

The explosion lasted for ten seconds before stopping...

Levi, Julia, Bones, and Duron were bleeding profusely from their nostrils and had splitting headaches.

Pato and the others, who hadn't covered their ears, lay on the ground in agony, bleeding from their seven orifices, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

The squad closest to the mutated ghost was completely wiped out.

The limbs convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and blood flowed from the seven orifices.

A newly emerged skeletal undead stomped on and broke the arm of one of the adventurers.

The bakers and dancers at the farthest distance, protected behind the experienced adventurers they had hired, watched the location of the mutated ghost with lingering fear.

That was close.

Fortunately, we were very far away from them!

A dancer's nosebleed flowed down to her neck, forming a thin, long thread that disappeared into the deep valley.

If only it were a little closer.

Given their physical condition, they are highly likely to suffer severe injuries.

Yulia wiped away the flowing blood from her nose, rubbed her temples, and her hand holding the bow trembled slightly. She said with surprise and uncertainty:

"Li Wei, what's going on?!"

"Both regular ghosts and goblins are level 1-2."

"The mutated ghost is that strong?"

"If it happened again, who would dare to approach it?"

Li Wei rubbed his forehead to relieve the stabbing pain, grabbed Yulia's hand, and quickly wiped away the blood from her nose.

Yulia was weak at the moment, and helplessly rolled her eyes at Levi's rude behavior.
