Mages, Adventurers, and Women

However, the Mage Guild has extremely high entry requirements, and the guards at the entrance select people based on their race.

Determine that the orcs and dwarves are not mages, and refuse them entry to avoid soiling the floor of the Mage Guild.

The more unattainable something is, the more you want it.

Bones and Dulong, one on each side, excitedly followed Li Wei toward the Mage Association.

As Li Wei passed by the Knights' Guild and approached the Mage's Guild, he was recognized.

The man whispered to his companion:

"See that? That black-haired, black-eyed guy is the Black Mage Levi. He killed hundreds of adventurers in Baron Dela's castle. He's a true 'hundred-man slayer'."

Li Wei, with his sharp ears, heard this awful address and turned to him to correct him:

"The incident at Baron Della's castle has nothing to do with me. I was hired by Klek. Klek was the cause of all this. The undead general was also released because of his greed. So, the real 'hundred-man slayer' is Klek."

The man nodded perfunctorily.

After Li Wei turned and left, he whispered to his companion:

"It's exactly the same thing that Kleck said a few days ago, that Baron Della's castle has nothing to do with him."

Neither of them is telling the truth.

"If you encounter the Dark Wizard Li Wei outside Rolling Stones in the future, run away if you don't want to die."

Li Wei stopped Bone and Du Long, who wanted to settle scores with that person.

The nickname "hundred-man slayer" is fine once it's gone.

In Rolling Stones.

"Bad reputation" is more useful than "good reputation".

The guards at the entrance of the Dharma Masters Association recognized Li Wei.

It has nothing to do with what Li Wei has been doing recently.

Because Li Wei has distinctive physical features.

He was the only black-haired, black-eyed, and very handsome human in Rolling Stone Town.

If Livy had said that he was a down-on-his-luck nobleman, no one would have doubted him.

The stereotype of the countless "human nobles" on the continent of Grand is that of Li Wei, whose handsome appearance is memorable.

Bones and Dulong, beaming with pride, followed Li Wei into the Mage Association they had longed for.

The Mage Guild is different from the noisy, bustling Warrior Guild.

Everyone was dressed in different colored but similarly styled monk robes, some carrying shimmering books of knowledge, others carrying staffs, and they went about their respective places at a leisurely pace.

If you happen to run into someone you know, you nod to them, and there won't be the loud, inappropriate chatter that happens in the Warriors' Association.

Dulong believed that the stereotype of monks as elegant, dignified, and mysterious originated from this.

He used to spy on the lawyers from outside the door quite often.

The floor, so clean it reflected light, refracted the light from the three crystal element lights hanging from the top of the association.

In the spacious hall, a circular counter serves as a guide, with maids dressed in maid outfits standing behind it to help the visiting monks with their needs.

The hall was surrounded by rooms, with rows of spruce wood doors neatly arranged, from which came the occasional booming of spells or the mysterious chanting of incantations.

Li Wei brushed aside the vines on the counter that were poking his face, ignoring the curious pokes from the tips of the vines.

He took out 20 gold coins and told the maid that he needed the book of knowledge about "Elemental Choices and the Future".

The Mage Association has three floors, and behind the counters where the maids work are cylindrical bookcases that reach straight to the ceiling.

The maid, holding a quill pen, wrote down Livy's needs on the parchment that had fallen from the cylindrical bookcase.

A spider-like "alchemical artifact" crawled out of the cabinet, climbed along the edge of the cabinet to the second floor, grabbed the treasure book of knowledge "Elemental Choices and the Future", and jumped back into the maid's arms.

"Your Excellency, please accept this."

"It's a gentle voice from the maid," she said.

Bones and Duron were still struggling with the elemental vines, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't catch them.

Whenever someone gets within a meter of the vines, the other person will dart into the table and disappear without a trace.

Looking again at the vines poking Li Wei's cheeks with a "plop plop" sound, Bone cursed:

"Even a broken weed is subject to occupational discrimination."

The maid who handed Li Weibao the book explained gently:

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. The association's vines only attract professionals who are active in the element."

“This handsome gentleman is the mage that the vines like. You see, the vines don’t even want to get close to someone like me who takes care of them.”

The maid reached out to grab the vine that was poking Li Wei's cheek, but before she could get close, the vine vanished with a "whoosh".

Upon seeing this, Bone chuckled and his discomfort vanished.

He was treated gently by a woman for the first time, and he took the initiative to invite her:

Are you free tonight? I'd like to buy you a drink.

The maid gently declined:

"Thank you for the invitation, but I need to go back to the warehouse tonight to change my magic source. I'm out of magic after working all day."

bone:???

Li Wei, dragging the bone away, said:

"The maids in the Mage Guild are all high-level alchemical golems; they can't sleep with you."

Duron, who was too short to reach the counter, stepped back several paces, stood on tiptoe, and peered at the smiling humanoid maid, exclaiming in surprise:

"So realistic?"

Bones was greatly disappointed; the first woman to show him kindness was an alchemical golem...

"Li Wei, are high-class maid alchemical golems expensive?"

“It’s very expensive, starting at over a thousand gold coins.” Li Wei added, recalling Fina’s business, “There are also cheaper alternatives.”

Bones said with anticipation, "I'm going to work hard on adventure quests!"

The three had just turned to leave when they bumped into Klecker, who was walking in.

Levi and Klecker made eye contact.

The two tacitly agreed to get closer.

Li Wei tucked the precious book "Elemental Choices and the Future" into his pocket and stepped forward.

Upon seeing his close friend, with whom he had shared hardships, again, he asked with concern:

"Klecker, how come you're not dead?"

Hearing Li Wei's "blessing," Clay was incredibly gratified. Recalling the moments the two of them shared in Baron Della's castle, he warmly said:

"Li Wei, you're still alive?"

Levi and Klein stood to the side, as if seeing old friends they hadn't seen for years, and he said warmly:

"I really want to twist your head off and use your bones as a stool."

Klecker laughed heartily, as if seeing a close friend, and said:

"Why didn't you go out with your level 2 priest master, Elda? Had you had your fun and then got abandoned?"

As a member of the pastors' association, Clay believed he had found out about Levi's "backer".

Li Wei remained unmoved and smiled:

"I wonder what the Priests Association would think if they knew that a bastard priest was researching necromancy—don't get me wrong, Klek, the bastard I'm talking about is you."

Klecker raised an eyebrow and said calmly:

"The Pastors' Association does not believe the Black Mage's words."

Li Wei went straight for the ball, saying:

"I am the Necromancer's Curtain, the Sea of ​​the Dead, and the Summoned Bone Dragon. Which three are you?"

He made up three powerful necromancy spells.

The spells themselves are not the goal; the quantity of spells is.

Each of them possessed one of the Necromancer General's eyes and held half of the spell's legacy. Levi had already used it all, and he wasn't sure if Klek had used it as well.

He deliberately exposed a flaw to deceive Klek.

Tell Klek that he knows the Necromancer General has six magical inheritances, three for each of them.

Klecker was taken aback. He had learned through special means that there were three magical inheritances in the eyes of the Necromancer General.

How did Li Wei know that?

Why make up three spell names instead of four, five, or six?

Clayker was certain that Levi didn't have any special means of acquiring them, because Levi was poor and couldn't afford them.

That leaves only one possible outcome.

Li Wei had used up the Necromancer General's eyes.

Klek refrained from using the technique after thoroughly investigating the internal situation because he was not prepared to fuse with the Necromantic system. The higher one's magical talent, the easier it is to fuse; the lower one's talent, the more preparation is required.

Klecker believed his talent was second to none, but... what gave Levi the advantage?

A comparison of the two.

Talent alone can distinguish between the two.

"I hoped to hear of your death tonight."

Klecker uttered a curse and strode away to buy the treasure book "Elemental Choices and the Future".

His evasive expression revealed the answer Li Wei wanted.

In this "reunion," Li Wei had the upper hand.

Li Wei watched his departing figure and chuckled inwardly.

After some probing.

He was certain that Klek hadn't used the Necromancer General's eyes.

As long as it's not useful, there's a chance to get your hands on it and complete the necromancy spell legacy.

Chapter 38: Three Days Later

Li Wei went to the Wanderer Association to see Yulia.

The level 3 Ranger Guild leader values ​​her highly and is secretly giving her extra help.

The other party was an ordinary-looking woman.

Li Wei didn't observe his appearance.

Yulia's true profession is that of a "hunter" obtained in the secret world.

In the eyes of the guild leader, he became a highly talented "Ranger" professional.

Afterwards, Li Wei gave Yulia 3 gold coins so that she could learn at her own pace.

They were also given 3 gold coins each, and were told to spend them sparingly.

The team has 13 gold and 88 silver coins remaining.

With enough money to last for a while, Li Wei doesn't plan to take on any adventure missions for the time being.

Alda said that wolf migration may be a normal phenomenon.

However, the meticulous Li Wei could not find any relevant evidence in the literature.
