Mages, Adventurers, and Women

The man is the current king of the Golden Kingdom, and also Sylvie's father.

Legend has it that the first king of the Golden Kingdom made his fortune by discovering a gold mine.

Therefore, the gold mine image was printed on the right side of the gold foil as a symbol of the gold kingdom.

The back of the tin foil is printed with simple alchemical line drawings, slightly raised, which slightly affects the feel and is a unique "anti-counterfeiting mark" of the Gold Kingdom.

"This is a 'Golden Voucher' from the Golden Kingdom. It can be exchanged for 100 gold coins at the 'Golden Voucher Merchant Guild' in any city of the Golden Kingdom. Is that enough for you?"

Sylvie said haughtily.

She wasn't a princess lacking common sense; she knew very well the purchasing power of one hundred gold coins, enough to make Li Wei apologize to her for his earlier change of attitude.

Li Wei had initially had some expectations for what Princess Sylvie would produce.

Upon seeing the "golden voucher," he burst into laughter in anger.

Suppressing the urge to curse, he said coldly:

“I, Julia, Bones, and Duron are adventurers from Rolling Stone Town, not citizens of your Golden Kingdom. We do not have citizenship badges from the Golden Kingdom, so we cannot enter any city, or even a small town.”

"The courts that the Golden Kingdom has placed in various places are more excited than wild dogs smelling shit when they learn that undocumented immigrants have infiltrated the country."

“They would use detectors specifically designed to identify citizen identification tags to search for unregistered individuals hiding in every nook and cranny.”

"So... how many gold coins do you think this piece of junk is worth?"

"Just a heads up, there's no place in Rolling Stone Town where you can buy or sell 'Gold Vouchers' from the Golden Kingdom, the Sand Kingdom, or the Storm Kingdom. The three kingdoms have a much stricter control over the circulation of 'Gold Vouchers' in Rolling Stone Town than you can imagine."

"I don't want to risk losing my head by trading this worthless gold voucher in private. In Rolling Stone, we only accept gold, silver, and copper coins!"

"what?"

Sylvie was taken aback.

She didn't know about this.

When he ran away from home, he was worried about not having enough money, so he took a stack of 100-yuan "gold coupons" from his secret stash of money to keep on hand.

She had only been in Rolling Stone Town for three days when she spent all the dozens of "loose gold coins" in her storage ring.

I was also thinking of using the "Gold Vouchers" to exchange for some loose gold coins after returning to Rolling Stone Town from the Navia Mountains.

Levi suppressed the two-word adjective that was about to come out of his mouth, considering that Sylvie was a princess of the Golden Kingdom and someone Frey had specifically asked him to protect.

I didn't want to say another word, so I turned and left.

"How should I thank you?"

Sylvie persisted.

She was a princess of the Golden Kingdom, and her prominent status made her unwilling to owe "vulgar adventurers" their payment.

Li Wei paused, then tried to say:

"Do you have any books? Any kind of book will do, except for books of knowledge."

Even a fool could guess that Sylvie, as a princess of the Golden Kingdom, must have all sorts of "anti-theft traps" in the treasure books of knowledge she possessed.

Asking her for her precious books of knowledge would be a losing proposition.

Sylvie frowned in deep thought.

Just as Li Wei's patience was about to run out, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"Have!"

She searched carefully for a long time and found a "miscellaneous book" among a pile of knowledgeable books.

Throwing it to Li Weidao:

“I just heard from Lord Klecker that you are working on elemental fusion. I think this handwritten notebook that my teacher gave me might be helpful to you.”

When Li Wei saw the title on the cover, he immediately beamed with joy.

——【Fiena's Elemental Fusion Notes】.

Fiena is a renowned Level 3 Archpriest in the Golden Kingdom.

Ten years ago, she single-handedly destroyed a "forbidden land of the dead" within the Golden Kingdom, a feat that has been talked about ever since.

Before Li Wei understood the ranking system of the four dragons, he was unaware of her strength.

Now, he estimates that Fiena is a "Golden Dragon Lord" level Grand Priest, whose strength is terrifying!

This talent must be a fusion of four elements.

The elemental fusion notes she left behind were exactly the knowledge that Li Wei desperately needed.

Moreover, these are handwritten notes that Fiena specially wrote for her student Sylvie, and the contents must have been made with utmost care and dedication.

Li Wei had a premonition that this book would allow him to take a big step forward on the path of merging necromancy and fire elements!

He said with a broad smile:

“Ms. Sylvie, as a bystander, I advise you to run as far away as you can while you still have time. Stay away from that bastard Clayk; he’s gone mad.”

Sylvie could tell, of course, that something was wrong with Klein.

He came over to chat with Li Wei, intending to follow Li Wei's group.

But Li Wei had no intention of taking her along.

Li Wei wouldn't take Sylvie wandering aimlessly in the Navia Mountains, risking them getting scratched, bumped, and injured by monsters and beasts. Sylvie might not care, but the people behind her wouldn't think that way.

This kind of big trouble is best left for Clerk to "enjoy".

After leaving his instructions, he and the other two, including Julia, ran off without stopping.

Am I a big problem?

Sylvie said indignantly.

He was immediately taken aback.

"Wait, I don't think I... told Li Wei my name..."

……

On the way to one of the three magical stone tablet locations, Li Wei held the [Fiena Elemental Fusion Notes] in his mage hands and looked at it repeatedly, gaining more and more knowledge with each reading.

Livy's understanding of "necromantic elements" came from Fina and Elda's oral accounts, as well as from the miscellaneous books in their collections.

The "Cult of the Immortals" and the "Cult of Devout Sinners" absorbed their knowledge from miscellaneous books that Elda had bought years ago but never read.

To date, Li Wei has not developed a clear integration strategy.

He is still exploring and searching.

Until Sylvie gave him this book, "The Elemental Fusion Notebook of Fiena".

Li Wei was certain that once he had fully absorbed the contents of the book, he would definitely find a path that combined necromancy and fire magic!

It can even apply what it has learned to other situations and integrate more elements.

"Sylvie is such a good person, I even want to sleep with her."

Li Wei muttered happily to himself.

Julia, standing beside him, twitched her ears and heard Levi mutter to himself, saying disdainfully:

"I can tell she's become curious about you. If you invite her now, she might actually sleep with you."

Li Wei frankly stated:

"No, I'd rather not. Sylvie's identity is a huge problem, and who knows what she looks like under her disguise?"

“I have Samantha, whose breasts are bigger than hers, so there’s no need for me to mess with her. On the contrary, you have no trouble and no status, so you’re the most suitable person to sleep with me.”

After Li Wei finished speaking, he paused and said sarcastically:

"Yulia, were you jealous just now?"

Yulia's face darkened as she retorted, "I'll eat your head!"

Which head?

Julia was taken aback, not realizing the hidden meaning in Li Wei's words.

But seeing Li Wei's wicked grin, he immediately realized this wasn't a compliment, and, pulling the empty bowstring, he cursed:

I'll shoot you dead!

Li Wei smoothly dodged and stopped under a spruce tree, examining a map of one of the three locations. He said seriously:

"I have something to tell you. The quest with the Sawtooth Fishmen is definitely not going to be completed. We need to pay back the quest coins. As for the punishment beyond paying back the coins—I'll put on some hard work in bed and let Samantha help us find a way to erase it."

"I plan to go to the locations of the three Baron Della's magic stone tablets first to confirm where the real magic stone tablets are. After deconstructing the magic stone tablets, I will finally do the 'Mud Serpent' quest. I estimate that Klek will be dead by then, and Moon Lake will be at peace."

"Unfortunately—this guy is probably courting death with the Necromancer General's eye. I'm missing half of the necromancy inheritance, so I'll have to find a way elsewhere."

"Fortunately, Lady Frey's mission was completed. Losing a mission reward of only one serrated fishman is still acceptable."

The slight anomaly in the lake's magic is related to the Immortal Statue, and Li Wei will report this truthfully.

He guessed that among the wealthy people from the three countries who came to Rolling Stone, there were very likely many, like Clayker's six clients, who were followers of the Immortals Cult hidden among the crowd.

Bones and Duron had no objections and followed Li Wei's arrangements.

Julia was still angry about Levi's teasing words earlier, and said angrily:

"Why don't you ask Sylvie to do some work for you and earn citizenship in the Golden Kingdom?"

Before Li Wei could speak, Gu Tou said unhappily:

"Captain Yulia, don't interrupt Captain Levi when he's speaking."

Yulia suddenly looked at the vile orc bones and exclaimed in astonishment:

"What did you say?"

Dulong then stepped forward, looked up, and said:

"Captain Yulia, Captain Levi is assigning tasks, why are you interrupting? Isn't this ridiculous?"

Julia laughed in exasperation, pointing at herself and saying:

"Get this straight, this is the 'Yulia Squad.' My name is Yulia, his name is Li Wei, and I'm the captain!"

"Alright, alright, you're the captain now."

Bones and Duron then looked at Li Wei, waiting to hear his next move.

Yulia was so angry at the two "Lassos" that she couldn't speak, and pinched Li Wei's soft flesh between his ribs hard.

Lasso is Yulia's native language, meaning grass growing on the wall.

hiss--

Li Wei tore off Julia's soft hand and ordered:

"Be careful, there's a swamp ahead. Baron Della's first magic stone tablet is located there."

……

We walked through the grass that grew up to Dulong's forehead and waist.

Li Wei and his three companions returned to the dense spruce forest.

The leaves of the spruce tree are enormous, tightly connected yet clearly defined, allowing a ray of sunlight to peek through.

The gnarled tree roots were intricate and covered with lush green moss, and the air was filled with the fresh, rotten smell of trees that had never seen sunlight.

Li Wei always kept a watchful eye on his surroundings.

Four mage hands floated in front of him, two displaying a map of the first location of the magic stone tablet, and two displaying the [Fiena Elemental Fusion Notes].

They were approaching the location of the first magic stone.

Suddenly.

Li Wei paused in his steps.

"what happened?"

"The bone beside me asked."

Li Wei squinted at the distance, looking directly above the first location marked on Baron Della's magic stone map.
