Mages, Adventurers, and Women

She urged, "Li Wei, hurry up!"

Li Wei said, "A man cannot be fast."

……

"Did you remember?"

Li Wei said calmly.

Yulia's face was like the sunset glow that burned across the sky outside the window.

She quickly dressed and put on her gear, and recalling what had just happened, she affirmed:

I won't give you a second chance.

Knock knock—

There was a knock on the door.

Livy opened the door for Bones and Duron.

Seeing this, Julia was about to leave.

Seeing this, the bone asked curiously:

"Captain, where are you going? Did we disturb you and Li Wei?"

Julia, recalling Levi's unique teaching method, scoffed:

"I don't want to see ugly things."

Who knew Li Wei would say quietly:

"They don't need it."

Yulia, who was about to take a step, froze in place.

He immediately understood the meaning of Li Wei's words.

No need to take off your clothes...

She turned her head in disbelief, gritting her teeth as she said:

So...you were lying to me just now?!

Li Wei frankly stated:

"The new Ranger Breathing Technique that I deconstructed is real. The Warrior Breathing Technique, which I deconstructed based on the fusion of elemental systems, is also real. What I'm teaching you is also real, but it doesn't require as many preparation steps."

Swah——

Yulia's face flushed instantly.

She was tricked out of all her clothes by Li Wei again and again.

Roared:

"Li Wei!!!"

"I kill you!!!"

……

Julia didn't kill Livy; she stormed off in a huff.

I swear I will never believe a single word Li Wei says in my life.

Bones and Duron were completely bewildered, not understanding what was going on between Levi and Julia.

However, judging from the different expressions they displayed, Yulia was at a disadvantage again.

The warrior breathing technique is very simple, and Bone and Duron quickly mastered it under Livy's instruction.

They asked curiously:

"Li Wei, since the warrior's breathing technique can quickly make up for the weakness of the body, why don't you practice it?"

Li Wei glanced at the stairs out of the corner of his eye and threw out a point that neither Bone nor Duron could understand:

"When secret techniques are cultivated to a certain level, one will gain the physical strength of secret weapons. When secret weapons are cultivated to a certain level, one will master elements and magic."

"Both paths lead to the same destination."

"I have achieved some results in secret arts, so there is no need to go back and start from scratch with secret martial arts."

Bones and Duron selectively listened to Li Wei's statement that the Secret Martial had a chance to use spells like the Wizard, and they were immediately overjoyed.

Wait until Bones and Duron leave.

Li Weichong said at the staircase:

"Lady Frey, are you still going to hide it?"

It resembled a ripple in the water.

Frey withdrew the "Level 3 Concealment Spell," and exclaimed in surprise:

"I now believe what Clayk said about you deconstructing the coffin. Your insight is even stronger than Bill's back then when he left the information about the coffin."

"You are a Level 3 Archmage, and the elements around you are purer, which is an easy-to-discover characteristic."

Li Wei said modestly.

He became more sensitive to "elemental states" because of his research on the fusion of elemental systems.

"No, Klek's spying eyes can't detect me."

After expressing her feelings, Frey revealed her intentions.

"Li Wei".

"Lady Frey, please speak."

"I've come to see you because I want to ask you to do something for me."

Frey said.

Li Wei showed little interest in "help" that offered no tangible reward.

"The pay is generous, and it's something Clerk couldn't do."

Then again.

Isn't adventurer a profession that involves sharing the burdens of others?

Li Wei raised an eyebrow and said:

"I will definitely help you with anything I can do."

……

……

Chapter 40: Li Wei's New Spell

Frey explained to Levi:

“Eldar’s teammates were attacked by Windblade Tigers. I went to the Navia Mountains to investigate last night.”

"I tracked its movements and killed it."

"It rarely stays in the inner circle, and is mostly active near a lake in the middle circle."

“There’s something subtly off about the magical fluctuations in the lake.”

“I suspect it migrated from the Golden Kingdom, and it’s very likely related to the lake. I have a study on monster migration that requires this information, and we can’t be careless about the safety of Rolling Stone Town.”

"But the lake is too big, and it would take about a day to survey it. I simply can't spare the time, and I'm also worried that the lake's magical transformations will disappear once I finish what I'm doing..."

Seeing the puzzled look on Levi's face, Frey said helplessly:

“An old friend from the Golden Kingdom asked me to find a princess who has ‘run away.’ She estimates that the princess came to Rolling Stone Town with an airship. Also, the Eternal Heart is going to hold a large auction, and they have hired me to oversee it. I will not be able to leave Rolling Stone Town this month.”

“Investigating the subtle magical fluctuations in a lake requires a magic-based professional with keen insight. Even if Klek has the Eye of Insight, he is not as good as you. Since you were able to deconstruct the coffin of the Necromancer General, I am willing to trust your insight.”

“Just now, I witnessed your insights into secret techniques and martial arts. Without strong insight, you wouldn’t have made those discoveries.”

"Li Wei, I must congratulate you. You are now the most authoritative person in Rolling Stone Town on the research of secret weapons."

"Your conjecture is the evidence supporting our conjecture about the secret weapon."

"I trust you to handle this matter."

Praise from a level 3 archmage can easily make someone arrogant.

With the necessary caution towards every adventurer in Rolling Stone Town, Li Wei calmly said:

"Lady Frey, there's something I don't understand. Why did you choose me?"

He wasn't repeating nonsense.

Frey has many powerful level 2 magic users under her command, as well as several adventurer teams led by level 2 magic users, including Eldar, at her disposal.

Frey sighed and said:

"The Three Kingdoms have sent too many nobles and royals this time. For example, Elda, as a rare level 2 priest in Rolling Stone Town, has rich adventure experience and is very popular among female nobles and royals who do not want to come into contact with male adventurers."

"Elda's time is filled with a large number of mercenary missions, and her condition is the same as that of other level 2 magic-based professionals."

"Within Rolling Stone Town, when it comes to the insight of a level 1 magic-based professional, no one can compare to you."

"Unlike others who have taken on a lot of Three Kingdoms missions, you are currently quite relaxed."

Frey's subtext is that everyone else is busy.

Of the people who aren't busy, Li Wei is the most suitable for exploration tasks.

Li Wei was relieved to see this.

Ask the most important question:

"Lady Frey, what are the rewards for the mission?"

Frey generously said:

"100 gold coins. I'll assign you extra from the Adventurers' Guild, plus 10 Goblin Squad points."

Li Wei tried to negotiate:

"I'd like to switch to the Spy spell and add 50 gold."

“Sure.” Frey guessed Levi’s thoughts at a glance. Before Levi could ask about the possibility of obtaining the Spying spell in advance, she readily agreed, “A senior maid will bring you a precious book on the Spying spell later.”

Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you!"

Frey said confidently, "Your mastery of a surveying spell is beneficial to my commission, and I have no reason to refuse your request for part of the mission reward in advance."

"Furthermore, I'm not afraid that you'll leave Rolling Stone Town with the Spying spell. Even if the mission fails, I believe you'll compensate me with 50 gold coins."

Give me a big date, then give me a big stick.

Frey wasn't worried about anyone breaking their promise to her.

This reflects the absolute confidence of someone who is the president of the Rolling Stone Town Mage Association and possesses the strength of a Level 3 Archmage.

Li Wei assured him, "I will do my best to fulfill your request."

Frey asked with satisfaction, "When do you plan to leave?"

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said:

"Three days later, I haven't been to the Central Circle of the Scandinavian Mountains. My teammates and I need to do more preparation."

This is just a superficial excuse.

He was waiting for feedback from the wealthy people of the Three Kingdoms who were going on adventures in the Navia Mountains and the Monster Hills.

If something is really wrong, Li Wei will try to refuse Frey's task.

After assigning the tasks, Frey gave a series of instructions:

"By the way, will the Adventurers' Guild talk to you?"

"The news that Baron Della's castle has become a forbidden area is temporarily being kept under wraps."

"When you come back, go to the Mage Association to see me. You, Klake, and the other six competitors will have an internal meeting. I will eliminate one of you based on your recent performance. Six people competing for the recommendation spot is too cumbersome; five people are just right."
