Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Despite being an adventurer team with similar rankings, they were clearly the ones dragging Yulia's team down compared to Fia and her group of four.

Especially the weakest bones and Duron.

He clenched his fists, veins bulging, and remained silent, his gaze heavy.

Even though no one was mocking them, they felt extremely humiliated.

The two vowed to catch up with Li Wei... no, to catch up with the strength of ordinary members of other goblin adventurer parties.

We must not continue to hold Yulia's squad back!

"Li Wei, we can begin!"

Fia shouted.

With a thought, Li Wei conjured up mage hands that stuffed lightning, wind, and ice elemental orbs into each of them and sent them flying rapidly toward the ordinary antler demon.

boom--

The three elemental orbs exhibited different effects.

The lightning elemental orb blasted a gaping hole through the chest of the ordinary antlered demon, with sparks flying from the wound.

The wind-elemental light orb was like a sharp blade, severing the neck of the ordinary antler demon. The head, with its pair of antlers, rolled off with a thud, tumbling sideways for more than ten meters.

The ice elemental light ball froze the ordinary antler demon into an ice sculpture.

Li Wei's current elemental foundation is such that even the most ordinary elemental light orb is something that ordinary antler demons cannot withstand...

He had a more convenient way of dealing with ordinary antler demons, and this was intentional.

After returning from the secret world, he said something to Yulia that was half-joking and half-serious.

Looking to the future, including Julia, the other four will inevitably be unable to keep up with Levi's growth rate, and in the distant future, they may part ways.

Looking at the present, they will continue to accompany Li Wei for many more days.

If they become complacent because of Li Wei's strength, they will only fall further and further behind and eventually be eliminated.

Li Wei disliked trouble.

Recruiting a new teammate would be a hassle for him.

Even Sylvie, who had just joined the team, was far less trustworthy to Levi than Duron.

If Sylvie were to sleep with him without telling her family, it would go beyond her trust in Duron.

He won't deliberately stop and wait for his teammates to grow.

The best option is to ignite the competitive spirit of Bones, Duron, and Yulia within a limited timeframe.

Yulia obtained the Hunter's Legacy in the Secret World, and her future holds great promise as long as she continues to strive forward.

Although Bones and Duron are ordinary warriors, the continent of Grand is never short of warriors. If they are willing to spend money and work hard in the early stages, their growth rate will not be weaker than any other profession.

Li Wei can allocate team funds to them, but he doesn't want to see them lose their desire to become stronger because he is too powerful and grows too fast.

An adventurer's party is never a one-person affair.

Looking back at Yulia's squad's several missions, Levi also had moments of exhaustion, and that's when the role of his teammates became apparent.

They will take on more missions, and Li Wei needs his teammates to step up when he's exhausted, just like they used to.

Instead of clinging to him alone and losing the will to become stronger.

This is Li Wei's unique way of "urging".

He used the weakest elemental orbs to blast away ordinary antler demons that could kill Bones, Duron, and Yulia.

This was to tell them that their current role was not even as good as Li Wei's "Fireball".

This is the simplest and most effective form of pressure-based humiliation.

Yulia remained silent, continuously drawing her bow and shooting arrows, her proficiency with the stealth arrow began to increase.

Without a word, Bones and Duron rushed into the battlefield and, under Fia's command, helped the four members of the Shield of Heroes to divide the antler demon.

Only Sylvie remained carefree, seemingly oblivious.

Sylvie's actual combat strength is not strong, but the role she plays has made her second only to Levi in ​​Yulia's squad.

If it weren't for Sylvie, Levi might have found the corpses of Bones, Duron, and Yulia when he emerged from the Secret World...

Seeing that Julia, Bones, and Duron were motivated to fight because of his "spell humiliation," Levi leaned back and, in a good mood, teased Sylvie:

"Little Freckles, come here and let me rub your bottom."

Sylvie blushed, uttered a "shameless" remark, and quickly hid next to Julia.

The process of killing the leader of the antler demons was very easy.

After Li Wei and the team including Fia and Yulia cleared out all the ordinary antler demons, he only needed to use the bone trap. Then, he mentally withdrew, jumped up, and punched the antler demon leader in the waist. It was in so much pain that it howled and trembled all over before falling into the bone trap.

Blocked by the Shield of Heroes led by Ollie, unable to escape, they were impaled and killed by a bone trap...

afterwards.

Ollie found Levi and sighed:

"I didn't feel anything when I fought alongside mages before."

"After fighting alongside you a few times, I estimate I'll never forget that feeling of ease and having everything under control."

"No wonder genius mages are called 'Grandmaster Mages' on the Grand Continent. If there were a few more Grandmaster Mages like you, the Demon Hills would probably be wiped out..."

Li Wei glanced at Ollie's flushed face after the battle and said bluntly:

Even if you praise me as a legendary powerhouse, I still won't sleep with you.

Aoli was taken aback. Realizing she had been exposed, she snorted:

That's your loss!

……

The Shield of the Warrior did not want the spoils of killing the Deer Antler Demon.

After returning to Rolling Stone Town and resting briefly, they headed straight for the Principality of the Sandstorm.

Living under the patronage of nobles will only cost them a few dozen or a couple hundred gold coins, and that won't change their predetermined future.

On the contrary, it left a good impression on Li Wei and Yulia's team.

Dulong busied himself with the task, spending half a day organizing it.

Finally, the spoils were put away.

61 pairs of ordinary antlers, 61 vertebrae, 60 bone marrows—the missing bone marrow was destroyed by the "lightning orb"...

A pair of Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Deer Antler Demon antlers, a Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Deer Antler Demon spine, a Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Deer Antler Demon marrow, and a Tier 1 Black Dragon-level Deer Antler Demon heart.

All four tasks I accepted before leaving home have been completed.

Looking back on this journey.

For Yulia's team, the crisis they faced was not significant.

For Li Wei, he experienced tremendous changes...

Upon returning to Rolling Stone Town, Li Wei prepared to fill the gaps in his missing magical spells.

He kept throwing elemental orbs, like a spell barbarian.

Looking at the spoils scattered all over the ground, Yulia's squad was filled with a happy dilemma.

There are too many things to carry.

The storage ring couldn't even fit the antlers of the antler demon leader, and the bones and the two large animal skin bags carried by Duron also had limited space.

At this moment.

Li Wei chuckled.

In the distance, Goblin Chew was driving three carriages toward them.

From a distance, he shouted excitedly:

"Lord Li Wei!"

What are you doing here?!

Chewing was in a sorry state this time, with the carriage behind him bearing the marks of an attack.

Li Wei's eyes lit up; the empty chewing cart was perfect for carrying his goods.

He stepped forward, keeping a distance of fifteen meters from the chewing creature, and pinched his nose, saying:

What's wrong with you?

"Mated by a goblin?"

He chewed and sighed, saying helplessly:

"Lord Levi, if Rolling Stone Town had a monthly election for the person who respects other races the most, I would definitely vote for you—it's all because of those savage dogs from the Duchy of the Sands. You know, I'm just a merchant, I don't mess with anyone, but when the Thorn Stranglers ran into me, they were like dwarves discovering 'Dwarf's Pleasure,' their eyes were red with rage as they wanted to kill me..."

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, you wouldn't have seen me at all."

Duro glared at the goblin; he truly deserved this fate!

Li Wei estimated that the Thorn Strangler was a member of the Third Prince of the Sand Duchy, and was most likely controlled by the spiritual fossil statue of the "Cult of the Immortals".

When Li Wei first saw the statue of the immortal, he felt a sense of unease.

He witnessed Belle hanging herself and the kobold camp committing mass suicide, and he didn't even dare to go near them.

It's only been a few days.

It seems like the Cult of the Immortals is a common sight around Rolling Stone...

I suddenly came to my senses.

A change in mindset must begin with the emergence of "spirit".

……

Three wagons carrying Li Wei's spoils headed towards Rolling Stone Town.

In exchange, Levi sold a pile of coke from the Navia Mountains to Chew at a bargain price, and along with the Shield of the Hero, helped him get back to Rolling Stone Town.

The chewing was quite impressive on the way.

They were shouting that the Goblin Gang was number 50 and 51, and that they should protect him together. This kind of treatment was something that many important figures in the Three Kingdoms period did not receive.

I've been traveling for a day and a half.

Li Wei and his entourage returned to Rolling Stone Town in a grand procession.

As he passed through the city gate, Chewy happened to bump into his competitor, "Merchant Perry," who boasted:

“Perry, look who’s behind me?”

"Fine, I'll just tell you directly, it's Lord Li Wei!"

The human, Peri, looked on with envy. He envied not only that Chewing the dead dog had gotten along with Li Wei, but also the spoils of the three carts behind it. He silently calculated how much profit Chewing could make...

Three horse-drawn carriages paraded through the city.

Upon hearing the news, Langsis rushed to the Adventurers' Guild in Rolling Stone Town.

Li Wei was directing the Bone and his men to unload the spoils of war.

Samantha threw herself into Levi's arms, wishing she could devour him on the spot.

Rancis examined the spoils, recognizing the blurry figures of "Wind Wolf, Lizardman, and Rock Leopard" from a pile of charred remains. He exclaimed in surprise:

"Li Wei!"

"You destroyed the Scandinavian Mountains?!"

Levi pushed away Samantha, who was clinging to him, walked up to Chairman Francis, and said seriously:

"President, where is Lady Frey? I have urgent business with her."

Li Wei planned to ask Frey how he was locked onto by the Secret World.

This will prepare me well for my next trip to the Secret World to find Willow.

He had a gut feeling that the benefits of personally entering the secret world went far beyond simple elemental deduction.
