Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Despite repeated attempts to control them, the pack of black-robed stray dogs in the Kuangsha District persists.

The alchemy box cost 10 silver coins each, but Li Wei bought it for 8 silver coins each.

付掉3金20银后，小队资金还剩5金44银82铜。

Levi pondered the matter, then left John's shop carrying a leather bag containing 45 alchemy boxes.

The new leather bag, worth 3 silver, was also a gift from John.

That night.

Livy, Julia, Bones, and Duron left Rolling Stone Town in the dead of night.

John said the Wolf Pack had a bounty on his head, and Levi was worried about being seen in broad daylight.

It's never a bad thing to be cautious.

He glanced back at the deserted gates of Rolling Stone Town.

I reckon by the time I finish the mission and come back, that fat pig Belle will be in Rolling Stone.

We'll figure out a way to kill Belle first.

Then they would seize the opportunity to retaliate against the Wolf Squad.

……

The second floor of the Adventurers' Guild.

Samantha waited for Levi all night.

They waited until dawn.

Samantha lay in bed, and said resentfully:

"Li Wei! You rotten bastard!"

This is absolutely the last time I'll help you!

……

early morning.

Li Wei and his three companions raided the area overnight.

We crossed a high ridge and were just about to rest.

In the distance, on the grassy slope downhill, a group of people were having breakfast around a campfire in a rather elegant manner.

Li Wei moved closer and scrutinized the area with a watchful eye.

Music immediately broke out.

"Klecker!"

……

……

Chapter 42: Relaxed?

Beside the campfire.

Klecker gnawed on the dry bread, crunching it like he was tearing apart a rock.

He also spotted Li Wei.

With the watchful eyes constantly issuing warnings, Claykerton felt a sense of unease.

His squad has 82 goblin points, and this time he accepted four goblin-level mercenary missions from wealthy people in the Three Kingdoms.

Two wealthy men from the Duchy of Mad Sand, dressed in black robes, stood with their backs to Klake and his companions, their faces hidden by their robes, eating soft, dry bread and roasted meat.

The remaining five people are from the Duchy of Storms and the Golden Kingdom.

They were dressed similarly, and one of the men, a man with a large belly, was wearing an evening suit that looked like he was going to a ball. He had two iron pots hanging over the campfire, one of which was simmering oyster soup.

With the other hand, use tweezers to insert a piece of butter to grease the pan.

Shila-

Oil droplets splattered everywhere, and the fat man quickly put in the slices of dry bread, each about an inch thick.

Shila-

The splattered butter was pressed under the dry bread until a layer of charred crust formed on the dry bread against the bottom of the pan, at which point he slowly flipped it over with tweezers.

Once both sides were cooked, he fried a new piece of dry bread, then sandwiched a piece of meat soaked in red wine sauce between the bread and took a satisfying bite.

The lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, then scooping up a spoonful of the bubbling, incredibly delicious oyster soup, and a simple breakfast begins.

The fat man noticed that Clay's food was less lavish than that of his servant's little dog, and offered to help:

"Sir Klecker, would you like some oyster soup?"

Klecker cursed inwardly, "What the hell does this fatso think this is? A picnic in the countryside?"

He replied kindly, "No, I'm used to eating hard food."

Aside from the fat man, the others were also enjoying a wide variety of breakfasts, showing no sense of urgency about their adventure into the Scandinavian Mountains.

Only one freckled girl, like an adventurer, was wiping the rapiers used as decorations at the noble party with a clean white silk handkerchief.

Li Wei walked over.

His gaze swept quickly over the seven people Klek was escorting, finally settling on the freckled girl.

——The breasts are really big.

Sensing Li Wei's gaze, the freckled girl curiously stopped wiping her rapier, gave the handsome, dark-haired Li Wei a friendly smile, and nodded in acknowledgment.

She had no idea that in the wilderness of Rolling Stone, a small group of adventurers approaching another group of adventurers meant that a massacre was very likely to break out.

"Haha, I really didn't expect to run into you here. Shall we chat for a bit?"

Klecker exclaimed with delight, as if he had bumped into an old friend.

Li Wei withdrew his gaze from the freckled girl and smiled, saying:

"I was quite surprised too."

"This is the first happy thing that has happened to me since I left Rolling Stones."

"Let's go somewhere else to talk."

Klecker and Levi moved away from the campfire, one after the other.

Bones, Duron, and Yulia formed a triangle, keeping the seven people, including the freckled girl, within their sight.

Bones threw the large animal skin bag he was carrying to the ground, took out his broadsword, and searched intently for any trace of a "storage ring".

Duron wiped his machete clean, preparing for the impending massacre.

Yulia drew an arrow, nocked it, and stared at the freckled girl.

The three skeletons were thinking that if Levi clashed with Klek, they would deal with the rich people here as quickly as possible.

To avoid leaving any survivors to spread negative news about Yulia's squad back in Rolling Stone.

The fat man, completely oblivious to the danger, looked at the three skeletons and, as if commenting on servants, chuckled to the person beside him:

"Lord Klecker's friends are very thoughtful. They went aside to talk about something and left three servants to protect us."

A human man with a pointed snout and monkey-like face standing next to the fat man shook his head in disappointment:

"Yes—it's just that these three servants are a bit shabby. Look at that shorty, he's using animal sinew to tie a breastplate to his chest as a breastplate, it's so cheap..."

The freckled girl frowned as she looked at Yulia. She didn't understand why the pretty girl dressed as a ranger was showing her such hostility.

Duron nearly lost his temper. He swore that if Levi made a move, the first thing he would do was kill that racist bastard.

Not far away.

Livy and Klecker are clearly distinct.

Klek maintained his "Priest's Protection" and hid inside the light shield.

Li Wei, bathed in the raging flames, was silently counting "fire explosions".

“Li Wei…”

Klecker spoke first.

"Don't beg for mercy, Klek."

Li Wei said indifferently.

"That fat man is the Earl of the Storm Kingdom, and the two in black robes are the Barons of the Sandstorm Kingdom. They are both on the protection list of the Eternal Heart Airship Merchant Guild."

"Are you sure you want to fight me here and kill them while you're at it, to prevent them from going back to Rolling Stone and spreading rumors that Lady Frey might find out?"

Klecker was the first to back down.

Li Wei remained unmoved, silently counting down the seconds until the flame burst exceeded ten seconds.

Having witnessed the power of Li Weiyan's explosive power, Klay's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. He reminded him again:

"Do you want to face Lady Frey's wrath?"

"If you harm them, the Rolling Stone Town Association and the Eternal Heart Airship Merchant Guild will not let you off the hook!"

"Even if you acknowledge Lady Frey as your adoptive mother, it won't make a difference!"

Li Wei zoomed in on the spying eyes of the people monitoring the campfire.

He suddenly withdrew his Flame Burst.

After greeting Yulia and the other two, they headed towards the Navia Mountains.

Just moments ago, tensions were high, but now, without warning, the troops have retreated.

Klecker was taken aback, not understanding what Levi was up to.

Only after confirming that Li Weizhen had left did Klek cautiously return to the campfire, hiding under the priest's protection.

The fat man asked curiously:

"Sir Klecker, why isn't your friend coming with us?"

“I can give him more money.”

The man with the pointed snout and monkey-like face added, "That short servant is no good. His clothes are too shabby. I doubt he could even kill a goblin."

Klecker was so angry he laughed.

These people had no idea what almost happened.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who that person I was just talking to is?"

"Who?"

"I can't believe it," the freckled girl asked curiously.

"His name is Li Wei, nicknamed the Black Mage, because he killed three of his teammates on his first mission. Later, more than a hundred adventurers died because of him. All of this happened in the last two months."

"Hiss—" The fat man's eyes lit up as he said, "If he's that strong, it must be very safe for him to protect us on our way to the Navia Mountains, right?"

Klecker said coldly, "I think he'd rather kill you all."

"Why?" the freckled girl asked, puzzled. "This is the first time we've met."

Klecker said quietly, "Because he wanted to kill me."

"You're not friends?!"

"Lord Klein, please ensure our safety!"

"My God, the adventurers in Rolling Stone are a bunch of 'barbarians,' they're so rude!"

Klein was thoroughly exasperated by this group of idiots, and taking advantage of Levi to establish his authority, he said:

“I will take you to explore the outer ring of the Navia Mountains, but you must stay close to me. I’m not sure if Levi will hide in the shadows and kill me, and then kill you as well, making it look like you died at the hands of monsters. That’s not uncommon in Rolling Stone.”

The fat man immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll only take one look at the Navia Mountains before I return to Rolling Stone Town!"
