Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Beside him lay the spoils of this deconstruction of the magic stone tablet.

29 gold and 48 silver, a short sword, a woman's soft armor, a pale blue robe exuding magic, and a simple, pure black ring...

It seems that the first time I deconstructed the bright magic stone tablet, I gained more than I did.

But the biggest find this time was a pure black ring.

Li Wei quickly picked it up and carefully examined it.

He excitedly addressed the three girls, Yulia and her companions, who were holding their breath and craning their necks to get closer:

"It's a storage ring!"

Before Julia and the other two could shout with joy, Li Wei added:

"But the original spiritual imprint needs to be erased."

"Huh?" Yulia asked, puzzled. "Can't you just take a storage ring and use it right away?"

"Only new storage rings can be used immediately upon receipt."

“Every adventurer who obtains a storage ring will have their own spiritual imprint imprinted on them with the help of the ‘Spiritual Contract Scroll’.”

"Without erasing the mental imprint, no one else can use the storage ring."

"The spiritual imprint on this storage ring is very faint. I have a way to erase it when we get back to Rolling Stone Town."

Yulia and the other two smiled again.

Bones and Durron prepared their haul and packed it into the animal skin bag on Bones' back. Bones dreamed:

"At least I won't have to carry an animal skin bag next time I do an adventure mission."

Compared to the harvest of goods.

Only Li Wei himself knows the greater gains he made this time.

[Exploration +1.00%]

[Deconstruction +5.00%]

【Mana Source *1】

……

[Exploration Lv0: 64.75%] ↑1%

[Deconstruction Lv0: 15.31%] ↑5%

……

[Rationality Lv0: 94.79%] ↑3.02%

Fina deserves two-thirds of the credit for the surge in "rationality".

Before leaving Rolling Stones, Levi basically went back and forth between Elda and Fina, occasionally visiting Samantha.

Every bit of rationality he earned was a testament to his hard work and dedication.

The [Source of Magic] was fused into Li Wei's palm, and he could feel its presence.

Once [Rationality] reaches [100%], it can be used to upgrade [Rationality], similar to the upgrade of [Elements].

Li Wei planned to stay at Fina's house as soon as he returned to Rolling Stones.

Strive to raise [rationality] to [100%] as soon as possible.

On the way back to Rolling Stone, reflecting on the strange things he had encountered along the way, Li Wei gradually calmed down.

Finally, the task is finished.

Julia followed Levi along the way back, sharing in a good mood:

"This trip to the central region of the Navia Mountains reminded me of an old incident from the Eastern Continent."

"what's up?"

Li Wei asked.

"Before I entered the secret world, I could hear my teacher's bow and arrows talking. They were either talking about how big my teacher's butt was or about how sexy the women they met were. They were more rude than orcs, barbarians, dwarves, goblins, and gnomes."

"Tsk!"

The skeleton walking in front and Duron both turned around at the same time.

I didn't complete the quest for the Sawtooth Fishman this time, but at least I can go back to Rolling Stone Town.

Given that their overall gains were quite substantial, they were in good spirits.

I can't be bothered to argue with Julia's racial discrimination.

Julia continued:

"I thought the teacher's bow and arrow were weapons that a powerful martial artist had transformed into and needed to be sealed, but my teacher said the bow and arrow were fine—then a week or half a month later, I can't remember exactly, I entered the secret world while I was eating..."

Li Wei asked curiously:

Why did you suddenly think of this?

Julia spoke frankly:

"I don't know, but I feel that the strange things I encountered in the Navia Mountains this time are similar to the strange things I encountered in the Eastern Continent."

Li Wei pondered in his heart:

“I am different from Julia. I explore the secret world through the dark magic stone tablet. Only my spirit is drawn, while my body is outside. I can be awakened by others. I should be the most special and safest professional explorer of the secret world on the continent of Grand.”

"I won't encounter anything 'strange' like Yulia, thus silently entering the secret world."

The four of them walked along the route they had taken back.

I passed by Moon Lake without even a glance at it.

The statue of the immortal being exudes an eerie aura from head to toe; it's best to stay away.

Hiding behind a pile of jagged fish-man corpses on the shore, Sylvie stared in horror at the stone statue in the center of the lake, her mind tense and her face pale.

Suddenly, they spotted Li Wei and his companions passing by Moon Lake, and like the heroes in the stories often told by bards who encounter the princess, they rushed over in a panic.

……

Chapter 47: Devouring

When Li Wei saw Sylvie, she was like a lost lamb, her face pale as she blocked the way for Li Wei and his companions.

She stumbled and fell twice along a stretch of road that was only ten meters long.

She grabbed Li Wei's right arm, wanting to melt into his embrace and never let go.

Li Wei's gray robe, after being clutched and squeezed by her and Yulia before, finally gave way and tore open a gap the length of Duron's forearm, roughly the length of a bone hand.

Sylvie was terrified; her sexy lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Only a broad and trembling heart could express her feelings at this moment.

"That bastard Klein is dead?"

Li Wei was deeply concerned about the safety of his dear friend, with whom he had shared hardships and faced life and death in Baron Della's castle.

Sylvie nodded, then quickly shook her head, pleading desperately:

"Li Wei...please...take me away..."

It's hard to imagine what that bastard Klecker did to terrify a princess of the kingdom who is used to seeing the world.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely not a good thing.

Levi didn't want to get involved in that bastard Kleck's mess.

The fact that Klek dared to gouge out the eyes of the Necromancer General in Baron Della's castle is proof enough.

Klein is a ruthless character who would even eat shit to become stronger.

Li Wei stopped asking what had happened, gave Yulia a wink, and asked her to help him pull Sylvie down the mountain together.

Since he's going down the mountain anyway, he can take Sylvie with him.

Then I'll find Lady Frey, earn a hefty reward for finding the person, and incidentally, I'll report Clack.

"Li Wei!!!"

He had only taken two steps when a mournful roar came from Moon Lake behind him.

Li Wei frowned, quickly leading Julia and the others to quicken their pace, and whispered:

"Don't turn around and pay any attention to that bastard."

"Li Wei!!! Help me!!!"

Klek's roar came again.

Even in such a tense atmosphere, Levi was amused by Clayker's delusions.

"I should save him?"

How did Klein come up with such an unrealistic idea?

Bones muttered:

"Why does that bastard Klek's voice sound even more eerie than the scene in the kobold camp? But it seems so sincere?"

Duron recalled a passage he had read in a book and remarked with emotion:

"He probably knew he was about to die, right?"

Bones looked down at Duron and said:

"Stop saying things that are unbecoming of your rude dwarf identity."

Duron retorted sarcastically, "When did orcs learn to use a word like 'rude'?"

"Shut up!" Li Wei interrupted the two, urging, "Run quickly."

Yulia and Sylvie remained silent the entire time, each grabbing one of Levi's arms and running wildly.

Li Wei had previously instructed Julia with his eyes to help him support Sylvie, but Julia misinterpreted this as meaning he was supporting himself.

Julia believed that Livy was a sorcerer.

Being a mage is a profession that Rolling Stones recognizes as physically weak.

"Li Wei!!!"

"I'll give you the eyes of the Necromancer General!!!"

Klecker's cries for help once again pierced through the dense grass and lush spruce forest.

It poured into the ears of Li Wei and his group.

Levi hesitated for only a fraction of a second regarding Clayker's chip offer.

Even Bones and Duron knew that Klek was facing certain death.

The fact that Klein could lower himself to ask his enemy for help speaks volumes about his predicament.

This guy didn't utter a single word like "save me" when facing a vast ocean of undead creatures in Baron Della's castle.

It's better to have only half of the Necromancer General's magical inheritance than to lose his life.

"Quick! Ignore him!"

Li Wei urged.

The group is about to leave the Moon Lake area.

Klake's roar continued as he kept adding chips, saying:

"I can help you solve the problem of necromantic elemental fusion!"

"I'll give you the eyes of the Necromancer General!"

"I can help you get a recommendation spot for Frey!"

"Li Wei!!!"
