Magus World Witch

Purchases

Leylin did not feel the slightest bit strange. Although there was a reason, the atmosphere in the academy was very different to the great war that was about to happen. Moreover, the large number of his talented Magus maids that were lost would definitely arouse the attention of others as well.

Moreover, the academy did not seem to want to hide this news. After all, they would still rely on the official Magi for the upcoming battle, and the aides would not help much at all.

The ones left behind were definitely the ones with the lowest talent and level, there was only one that could be used as cannon fodder.

“Mentor Harosi has cleared the area around the Beastmen school and all the creatures that would cause trouble. They were all reduced to skeletons by spells, especially Beastmen, and their souls had been trapped in their bodies to suffer forever.

Leylin nodded slightly. It seems like the academy environment is safe for now.

"What about the other Magus' potential?"

“Very troublesome! According to the news that my other sisters had gathered, many of his aides with high talent, including Chester and Sherpa, all left the academy for various reasons. I'm afraid it won't be long before this news spreads........ What do you know? ”

"My senior, Merlin, left a few months ago! Furthermore, I will also take the mission and leave immediately! "

Leylin softly spoke of the news he had gathered, and this made Neela's face even paler.

"What about you? What's your plan? "Leylin still asked him at the end.

“I plan to return to my family. You know, even though my Welter family isn't very famous, we can still take care of ourselves. Do you want to come with me? "Neela obviously wanted to tie a talent like Leylin to her family.

"No, thank you! I made a plan for myself! '' Leylin smiled, rejecting him. He will be subject to various contracts and restrictions if he joins the family. However, he had too many secrets and was not suitable to have an entourage.

The light in Neela's eyes dimmed. Leylin also knew that their relationship had ended. After all, they had just enjoyed themselves, but being separated at this time, in times of crisis, was perfectly normal.

"There's still something I have to ask of you!" Leylin took out a black wooden box and placed it on the dining table.

"What's up?" Neela smiled, but it seemed a bit forced.

He opened the black box. Many of the potions in the test tubes were neatly arranged inside, and the sight was dazzling to Neela's eyes.

"This is ...." Neela's mesmerizing eyes made an astonished look.

“This is the potion I have collected until now. Help me sell it! ”Despite crossing fingers, Leylin's expression remained calm.

Of course, this was only a small portion of the potion that was secretly brewed. Saying that it was an accumulation after one year was reasonable; their total value was several hundred Magic Crystals.

Letting Neela sell it for him was because Leylin did not want to look flashy. On the other hand, it also gave him a bit of compensation.

After all, traces of chauvinism were still there, deep in his heart. Breaking up would require him to provide some form of compensation at least, and allowing Neela to become a middleman gave her a chance to gain some advantage.

"No problem! Currently, the values of the various materials and spell models had dropped sharply, while low-level Magic Potions and Artifacts had drastically risen in price. "Neela's eyes shine.

This is a normal occurrence. Spell models and other materials would definitely lower the price whenever a war was about to occur, as they could not be used to increase one's practical strength immediately. As for the other items capable of increasing one's battle power, they would be in demand.

"After selling these potions, give me 300 Magic Crystals for them!" Leylin sipped the hot cocoa that had been placed on the table.

Neela's expression was a little complicated, “Of course it was possible. In fact, my family can buy everything! Do you have any more? I can tell my family and give you a fair deal ... ”.

“This is all the potion I collected last year! You should know, I still have to rely on selling potions to obtain resources. If it wasn't for the market doing just fine now, I wouldn't have let them all walk in one breath like I do now! "Leylin's expression looked very sincere.

"Good! I'll do my best to help you! "Neela understands. In his eyes, Leylin was brewing this potion endlessly and having such a collection was already the limit with his current abilities.

Since the two of them had their own concerns, the dinner that followed was not so appetizing for the two of them.

After eating, Neela hurriedly said goodbye to Leylin. Leylin entrusted some people to bring some messages to the people he mixed well with as well. He did not mention the details and only gave them subtle clues. Whether they can uncover the plot is up to them.

Neela was very fast, and she handed Leylin a Magic Crystal pouch the next day.

After thinking about it, Leylin decided it was better to spend his Magic Crystals while he was still in the academy. After all, he might not be able to find a trade depot outside, and even if he did, the resources there might not be as complete as the school had.

This departure will most likely last a long time. Leylin made preparations for his progress outside. He prepared to buy materials to make Reactive Elixirs and spell models available. As for any knowledge Acolyte Level 3 might require, it had been stored at A. I'm Chip for a long time.

However, the knowledge provided by the professors stopped there. As for the progress for the official Magus and the basic information for the Level 1 Magus, that knowledge was heavily guarded by the academy. Only Level 3 Acolytes who had signed a contract with them would have the right to access it.

Leylin headed to the spell model shop first.

"What do you want?" The attitude of the old lady behind the desk was even harder now. However, Leylin's good mood did not waver. He already knew that those Level 3 Acolytes had failed to advance to the official Magus and they had signed a contract with the school, to stay behind and provide basic services. Due to the restrictions in the contract, they cannot run even if they want to. With the upcoming battles and collateral damage that would befall them, it would be strange if they had a good attitude!

"Regardless of Umbra's Hand, I want all the basic spell models for the Shadow and Dark elements!" Leylin used a very generous air.

The old woman behind the table looked at Leylin in surprise. After all, a wealthy Acolyte Level 2 like him was rarely seen.

"There's a total of 13, for 130 Magic Crystals. ”

"I also want to model the Basic Transfiguration spell!"

"That would be 140 Magic Crystals then. "The old woman's voice sounded from behind the table.

Leylin nodded and poured a bag of Magic Crystals onto the counter. The woman counted it and kept it, after which she brought 14 spell books. Each of them was as heavy as bricks, and they piled up to almost Leylin.

"It looks like I have to buy a horse too!"

Leylin hired some servants and told them to bring the spell model books back to his room, and then he returned to the Trade Area.

Currently, the Trade Area was one of the few places that were still crowded with people.

The number of aides who came here also increased. Many premium items had been prepared for sale, attracting the attention of many of his aides.

“It looks like even his aides have noticed. "Leylin.

It was similar to how, in the forest, a small number of animals would sense danger and fly before a major disaster befall them, but other animals would naturally follow when they saw the animals leave, he said, even if they do not feel danger.

“However, there are still no Magic Artifacts here. "Leylin felt a little depressed. He had always wanted to have a Magic Artifact, but it was too rare. Moreover, the prices were extremely high, and they would end up in the hands of Magus every time they appeared. By the time the Magi were dissatisfied with the Magic Artifact, Level 3 Acolytes would all hurriedly advance to grab it. Leylin had no chance.

"Creation of Magic Artifacts requires Alchemy and Enchanting, and it is a profound subject. I don't even have enough time to focus on my Potion studies right now! ”

Leylin laughed bitterly, even the A. I Chip has limit for processing. According to Leylin's previous experience, only when his soul continued to advance, would A. Chip I levels are rising.

"When I become a Level 3 Acolyte, if I have no other way, I will dabble in Enchanting and see if I can make my own Magic Artifacts!"

These stalls that lacked Magic Artifacts did not attract Leylin in the slightest.

However, there are still some unusual occurrences. For example, the stalls selling potions were filled with people and the sales of bows, arrows, and leather armor were also good. But for the stalls selling materials, they were rarely visited.

He walked into the Woox shop, which he knew.

Right now, it was full of aides and they bought whatever potions they saw, in a very honest way.

Woox was so busy that she sweated, and even hired some helpers to help her. Such scenes were clearly not common in the past.

Leylin looked around. The herbs on the shelves sold out very quickly, many empty shelves were labeled as sold out.

Woox was so busy that she sweated, and even hired some helpers to help her. Such scenes were clearly not common in the past.

Leylin looked around. The herbs on the shelves sold out very quickly, many empty shelves were labeled as sold out.

Woox's eyes shone when she saw Leylin. He summoned a misdinar to fill his position, and especially went to receive Leylin.

"Hey! My dear Leylin, I heard the cry of a skylark today, and I knew you would definitely bring good news. Didn't he? How many potions? We can give you 10% more than usual! "Woox greeted Leylin kindly and looked at Leylin as if he was looking at a Magic Crystal.

"My apology . "Leylin waved his hand," I've been busy with missions, so I haven't made much recently! "

"This is tragic news!" Woox sighed, "You don't know how good the market is right now!"

"Good! Alrighty! I came here to buy materials. "Leylin said and handed the list of items to Woox.

After Woox received the slip and saw the graffiti and the required amount, her face changed and droplets of sweat the size of a bean began to drip down.

“So many raw materials! Let me see, White Crystals, Purple Radish Roots Roots, the claws of the Ghost Goblin, are you trying to create Elixir Reactions? ”The mouse asked straightforwardly.

"Yes! Indeed indeed! I want to make preparations for my progress. If you have a complete Reactive Elixir in stock at this time I'll buy it from you. You can set the price! ”

Leylin spoke casually, the formula for Reactive Elixir can be found in the library and many people have seen it before. The fat that could recognize the ingredients was nothing out of the ordinary.

Under the Reactive Elixir ingredients, Leylin also added many of the common ingredients needed for Azure Potion and Tears of Mary. As for some important materials, they had been extinct in the Magus World for several hundred years, so Leylin did not even bother to write them down.

“The creation of Elixir Reactive is very complicated and the success rate is also very low. The demand for it was very high, and they immediately sold after they appeared. How could I still have stock left? ”Woox shook his head.

“At least, you Potion Masters are better off, you can brew any potion you need yourself. I remember that when I was a Level 2 Acolyte, I committed so many crimes just for a bottle of Reactive Elixir! ”

Chapter 42

Departing While

“Alright, don't talk about this anymore! These materials weren't originally this cheap, but the price of raw materials had dropped by now, so I would sell them for 200 Magic Crystals. ”

Woox set the price.

Leylin nodded and handed over 20 intermediate-tier Crystal Pieces to Woox.

He then received a large package from Woox, attracting the attention of many spectators around him.

Leylin smiled bitterly, carried the bundle on his back, and began a casual chat with Woox.

"Is that? Did you obtain any news about Magic Artifacts? "Leylin would not allow the opportunity to quickly increase his strength past him.

"Of course not!" Woox shook his head quickly, "The price of Magic Artifacts has recently gone up wildly. After all, who wouldn't want to keep the items that saved their lives and would sell them? ”

Suddenly Woox lowered her voice, "Buying so many materials and asking about Magic Artifacts, you must have received the news as well, right?"

Leylin nodded, “I am preparing to take on a long-term mission so that I can get out and avoid all of this. ”

Woox nodded, “Avoiding it would be good, I will also be gone in a few days. ”

"Even Woox, a Level 3 Acolyte with Magic Artifact, must escape!" The attractive feeling in Leylin's heart only grew stronger, and after exchanging a few more lines with Woox, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"The side can't be delayed anymore, I have to leave immediately!"

Although there was no need to register for the mission to leave, there was still a hurdle from the academy's guardian. Leylin still wanted to return to get relevant information about the Magi, so he would naturally follow this rule.

Regardless of his mediocre talent, his Potion talent had been recognized even by Kroft, so the academy would not hold him here to die.

Since Harosi had been sweeping around the school, the Mission Area had managed to regain its previous liveliness. However, Leylin realized that there were very few Level 3 Acolytes on closer inspection. Naturally, he knew what this was about.

“They're all a pathetic bunch of people. "Seeing these low-class aides split the mission rewards and worked hard to earn money to exchange information, a pitiful look appeared in Leylin's eyes.

It's clearly what was left. Although a lone culprit would be completely helpless against a Magus, they could still cause damage and even kill an official Magus if tens or hundreds of them banded together to execute the formation. That's their role here.

However, being around Magus fights was extremely dangerous. It was already considered very lucky for them to have a 30% survival rate here.

Although Leylin felt sorry for them, he still would not mention the news. He had already pushed the limits by hinting at his friends. If he were to publish the news, even Kroft would not be able to protect him.

Leylin looked at the missions on the walls; most of them had short duration and were also located very close to the academy. It seemed like the academy had hidden all the other missions.

When there were a few people around, Leylin took the opportunity to quickly head to the counter.

"What kind of mission do you want?" The reception was an old man who was very thin and looked very friendly.

“Mission on the wall does not suit me at all, is there anything special? My name is Leylin Farlier, Professor Kroft's student. "Leylin said in a low voice, throwing a small pouch on it.

The old man hurriedly caught the pouch. After opening it, he smiled. "Of course there is!"

He took out a roll from under the table, “See this. All the missions are written there. ”

The black-colored scroll looked very plain. Leylin opened the scroll and quickly read the mission written there.

All of these missions have the same characteristics. Their difficulty was not high, but the duration was very long. In short, the mission allowed the potential Magus to avoid the impending disaster.

With a scan A. I'm Chip, Leylin quickly decided on a mission.

“Investigate withered vegetation in Extreme Night Town. Mission duration: 3 Years. ”

“I chose this one. "Leylin pointed to the investigative mission and relayed to the old man.

“Extreme Night Town is located in Eastwood Province, Poolfield Kingdom. You have to travel almost half the kingdom before you reach it. Do you want to buy a map? "The old man smiled like a cunning merchant.

"Give me a map!" Although Leylin had his own map, it was always good to have another one for comparison.

After spending two Magic Crystals, Leylin obtained a new map. Not only were the various provinces of the Poolfield Kingdom highlighted on it, there were even red lines to mark its journey.

“According to the map, Extreme Night Town was on the easternmost side of Poolfield Kingdom, where the boundary was, and was very far from the academy. But the good thing is that it is close to one of the majus assembly points mentioned in the information Bicky sent, which will make obtaining information and news easy. ”

This was also why Leylin chose this mission.

“This is your exit card. "The old man handed him a red metal card. “Do not lose, it is irreplaceable. ”

“It looks like the academy is very strict in arranging every entry and exit lately. ”

Leylin thought about this inwardly, but he did not say anything out loud when he took the metal card.

After walking out of the Mission Area, Leylin went to say goodbye to Kroft, Bicky, and his other friends.

After all, he had no idea how long he would be out for. Some things still need to be resolved first. After receiving Leylin's lead, Bicky was already preparing to go home. As for Kaliweir and the others, their skin color was rather poor. They had come from the Chernobyl Islands and with nowhere to return, Leylin could only pay them with lip service and comfort them.

Pushing the door of his room open and looking at the familiar arrangement, Leylin suddenly felt a little regretful.

“I want to know when I can get back here. ”

The spell books and materials he bought today were all neatly lying in a corner, filling two large crates.

After pondering for a moment, Leylin moved his bed to reveal some floorboards with a hint of dust on them.

"Much earlier!" Leylin gently tapped on the black dot on the floor.

* ka-cha! * There was a mechanical noise, and the wooden floor slowly moved away to reveal the many herbs stored in the test tube.

The number here was at least 10 times more than he had given Neela!

If Woox saw this, his eyes would even pop out. Leylin smiled.

This was his personal collection of potions. With A. Help I Chip, his success rate had long surpassed what others could hope for. He had sold a small portion of them, but most of them remained here.

"Let me count! 200 Strength Potions, 150 Antidots, 180 Hemostasis Potions, and an assortment of other potions, the total value is at least 3000 Magic Crystals! ”

Leylin looked at this potion. They were his greatest asset and were always locked under his bed. The spell used to secure them was a small magic trick known to all Level 2 Acolyte. Aside from the owner using their Spiritual Strength to open it, the way of forcing it open would only cause the items locked within it to self-destruct!

“Now, with the chests of spell books and other ingredients acting as the premise, I can move this potion with very little discomfort. I also have to draw some runes outside for concealment. ”

Leylin opened a small box covered in runes. Sponges, silk, and such materials were placed inside to prevent the herbs from rolling over and being crushed.

After spending almost half a night, Leylin finally managed to move all the potions into the box. He then covered the box with some materials and placed the spell book around it.

"It's past six!"

After hearing his alarm ring, Leylin turned off the clock in his room.

He hurriedly bathed and brought two large chests to the highest floor of the academy, where he bought 3 good and sturdy dark horses and a carriage. Leylin took a deep breath and drove the carriage to a mechanism that looked like an elevator.

"Get your card out!" A man's voice sounded. Leylin hurriedly took out the red metal card he received yesterday.

* Bang! *

The elevator-like mechanism rose slowly and when it finally reached the top, the sound of gears could be heard.

Two stone doors opened, and a beam of shining sunlight came in.

Leylin narrowed his eyes, "Academy does have another exit. The original entry should be for people to use as part. However, what was here was for a large item to pass through. ”

"Yeah!" Hitting his whip, he urged the horse carriage forward. Only then did Leylin realize that his current position was at the back door, right behind the central grave that they had entered from the very beginning.

Afraid of being bothered, he told Bicky and the others that he was preparing to leave in the next few days, but did not mention a definite time. Therefore, his departure was calm.

Leylin stared at the academy once more and then began his journey.

"Good . Why does my luggage make it seem like I'm running away from something, not the appearance of someone on a mission? ”

Leylin could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at the horse carriage he was riding and the heavy chest behind him.

"Good . Why does my luggage make it seem like I'm running away from something, not the appearance of someone on a mission? ”

Leylin could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at the horse carriage he was riding and the heavy chest behind him.

"A . I'm Chip! Bring map! "

At Leylin's command, a map appeared. It was more detailed than the one he got from the old man yesterday and had a carefully marked route.

“Based on the map I got yesterday, calculate the most optimal way of travel! Requirements: Convenient and safe! Also, he should approach as many Magi majus points as possible! ”

Heeding Leylin's voice, a red line indicating the route appeared on the map. It was a little different from what he got from the old man. There were a few more twists and they were all around the gathering place of the Magi.

"Let's go!" Leylin followed the route given to him by the A. I Chip and push the horse carriage forward.

"A . I'm Chip! Improve detection area completely! ”Because it was an individual trip, Leylin did not dare to lower his guard in the slightest.

[Mission established, early detection!]

An . I Chip faithfully carried out his task, and the surrounding 3D images were constantly projected in front of Leylin.

“The danger is the smallest if very close to the academy or very far away. The middle is the most dangerous part of the journey! ”Recently, the Magi protecting the academy had cleared the area, but they were too lazy to chase after the enemy so it was likely that only the middle was littered by danger. .

However, Leylin could only bet. Harosi had also given them a lesson beforehand, so he hoped that the journey would be smoother. After all, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to, given enough time.

The horse carriage quickly ran down the road and the bird was crying on both sides of the descending road from before.

As they got further and further away from the academy, Leylin became increasingly tense.

[Beep! The warning! The warning! High-energy living organisms have been detected ahead!]

An . My Voice Chip sounded, and a red object was projected onto the screen. There were large branches constantly spreading all over the area, with many red spots also hovering over it.

"This picture? This tree? "Leylin put his hands into the waist pouch and reduced the speed of the carriage.

Chapter 43

The Giant Demon Tree

With the horse carriage getting closer, the approaching scene entered Leylin's gaze.

In the middle of the road, stood a huge ancient tree.

Its green branches seemed to extend endlessly in all directions, forming an enormous canopy with many vines hanging down.

On the enormous trunk, there was a pair of eyes and a mouth, and it looked like a human face. However, his eyes were green.

Around the tree were a few winged creatures that kept flying around. Their skin is green and they are shaped like humans. They are also completely naked.

"Giant Tree Demon!" Leylin. He laughed bitterly, “Didn't the academy already clean up the area around the school? Why are there still so big people here? ”

"A servant of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy?" The huge tree spoke, and the winged creature that grew on its back also turned their gaze to him.

“I'm just a lowly maid preparing to leave. May I ask if you might give way to travel? I can pay the price for that! "

Leylin made a last attempt.

"Only death awaits a living organism that tries to make a futile effort to leave!"

The giant tree let out an echoing sound that even made Leylin's ears hurt. At the same time, the green wine was slowly lowered down, and hanging from it were human corpses. His entire body withered, and wore the gray robes of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy's academy.

"Sister man! Stay behind and play with us! ”

At this moment, a small sprite that had been hovering around the Giant Demon Tree floated up. To Leylin, it sounded like a very pleasant voice from a girl, the sound of her voice intoxicating herself. It was as if this voice belonged to the most important person in this world. Gradually, Leylin began to feel that staying here might not be a bad idea.

[Warning! The warning! The host is influenced by the devil's charm!] Si A's. My Voice Chip requested, bringing Leylin out of the hallucination.

"They really captivated me!" Anger dyed Leylin's face.

"A . I'm Chip! What are the scans? "

[Shuger Giant Tree Demon. Power: 5, Agility: 0. 5, Vitality: 9. 8, Spiritual Strength: 3. 5. Skill: Leech, Vines]

[Green Tree Sprites. Power: 0. 9, Agility: 2. 5, Vitality: 9. 8, Spiritual Strength: 3. 1 Skill: Enchanting living creatures]

[Rumors say that the Green Tree Sprite and Giant Tree Demon have a mutual relationship. Normally, the Green Tree Sprite would woo targets into the Giant Tree Demon attack area and then the Giant Tree Demon would start its hunt!]

An . My Voice Chip sounded.

"The strength and vitality of the Giant Demon Tree was too high, and its body was huge as well. There is no way to surround it! "Leylin's face is calm, "It looks like I can only fight! "

"The first is you! You really dare to lure me! "

[Critical points confirmed! Calculate wind force, adjust the trajectory!]

Leylin suddenly raised his hand, and revealed a hidden arrow as he pulled the trigger.

* Xiu! * Black lines darted through the air and flew straight into the Green Tree Sprite from before.

The arrow pierced through the right chest of the Green Tree Sprite, causing its eyes to tear. A green liquid, which looked like juice from a tree, flowed out from his chest as it fell to the ground.

“Dyrisse! That human actually killed Sister Dyrisse! ”The angry and surprising voices of Green Tree Sprite come from the treetops.

"You really dared to kill my daughter!" The Giant Tree Demon let out an angry roar, its huge vines running towards Leylin.

"Yeah!" Leylin moved the horse carriage backwards, avoiding the vines.

"According to A. My Calculation Chip, the greatest wine attack range of the Giant Tree Demon is only 20 meters! His movements were also extremely slow, which was his greatest weakness! ”

Leylin drew his sword and prepared a carriage before descending.

"I was only asked to leave, but since you refused to listen when speaking well, it seems like a fight is the only way to resolve this!"

“You really killed my beloved Dyrisse! I will turn you into a withered corpse and hang you on my body for a hundred years! ”

The roots of the Giant Demon Tree emerged from the ground and stood up like a human before chasing Leylin.

“With this speed! Are you kidding me? '' Leylin laughed loudly and dodged as he clashed with the Giant Tree Demon.

The shadow of the dark green tree whipped Leylin, but he dodged by rolling over, easily dodging the attack.

* Dad! * The green vine was like a whip, and it smashed an enormous hole into the ground.

Leylin slashed with a cross blade and cut the vines. The silvery-white blade had touched the surface of the vine, but ended up leaving only a mark on it.

Leylin sensed a huge force coming towards him, and several black shadows appeared behind him.

[An attack came from behind. The most optimal way is to turn right for 50 degrees and jump right!] A. My Voice Chip sounded.

Leylin fended off the wine and turned right and immediately jumped up, dodging the sneak attack from the black shadow behind him.

"What a Father! We'll help you! "

About 7 to 8 Green Tree Sprites swooped down, and they even carried a small bow in their hands that looked like a toy. However, when Leylin saw the dark green liquid on the arrowhead, his expression changed.

"There's poison!"

He pulled the purple potion from his waist pouch and ruthlessly threw it into the Green Tree Sprite.

* Pingpong! * The reaction tube broke, and a gust of purple mist smoke rose, turning into a harp shape. The harpy opened its mouth and screamed in the ear!

“The Witch's Wrenching Banquet! I spent 20 Magic Crystals on it! '' Leylin covered both of his ears. Even though he had made preparations before, he still felt uneasy. As for the Green Tree Sprite, they had all fallen to the ground long ago.

Using potions to mimic the effects of magic spells was a normal fighting technique used by Master Potioneering. With Leylin's current abilities, he had not been able to brew the Howling Mage Potion, so this potion had been purchased from Kroft instead.

Not only were these herbs extremely expensive, they only used one time, which made Leylin's heart ache.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Giant Tree Demon and Green Tree Sprite were still under the influence of the Howling Witch Potion, Leylin hurriedly stepped forward and lunged at them with a cross blade.

“Some Green Tree Sprites are easily cut into two like this. ”

“Green Tree Sprite's eardrum is very strange and more sensitive to sound waves. However, the Howling Mage Potion was clearly their curse! ”

Leylin's eyes lit up, and he stomped on some more than the Green Tree Sprite lying on the ground until they died.

The vitality of the Giant Tree Demon was extremely high and it quickly recovered from the shock caused by the Howling Witch. Seeing Leylin torturing his daughter to death, it could not help but howl loudly. More and more vines were weaving around, and the remaining Green Tree Sprites were carefully moved and stored between the tree crowns.

"The human spell is so evil, don't come out!" The sound of a big tree buzzing.

"Good opportunity!" Leylin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly cast a spell.

"Aqua Asam's Shot!"

A green-colored sphere appeared, and with Leylin's control, he avoided the vines and struck the Giant Tree Demon's left eye perfectly.

* sssii! * White fog rose continuously, and a thick green liquid flowed out along with the cry of the Giant Demon Tree accompanying it.

After the white mist disappeared, the left eye of the Giant Demon Tree completely disappeared, leaving only a charred hole.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Hancus will kill you! "

The Giant Tree Demon trembled and the vines around it constantly meandered, forming a net.

"Who are you talking to?" At this moment, Leylin had already arrived under a tree. His crown completely blocked out the sunlight, leaving only a huge black shadow.

While the Giant Tree Demon howled, Leylin had already reached the tree trunk.

"Go and die!"

The Giant Tree Demon roared, and countless vines interweaved, forming a huge green palm, making Leylin grab.

"Good bye!" Leylin laughed lightly and threw the dozen or so potions left in his suitcase before flying off.

* Bang! * Fire flares up, swallowing up the entire Giant Tree Demon. What followed was an even stronger explosion and black smoke.

“The effect is indeed very good when using ten explosive potions together. Moreover, it was even more advantageous against this type of Tree Demon Tree! "

Although Leylin fled quickly, he was still scorched by flames from behind. Even the hair on his head was dyed and burned.

"Aah!" The Giant Demonic Tree screamed and howled in pain, falling to the ground with a collision, its body still burning.

As for the Green Tree Sprites hiding in the treetops, they also did not survive and were all burnt into charcoal.

[Beep! Target has lost all signs of life!] A. My Voice Chip sounded.

Leylin nodded and returned to ride the horse carriage, touring around the Giant Tree Demon's body.

[Beep! Target has lost all signs of life!] A. My Voice Chip sounded.

Leylin nodded and returned to ride the horse carriage, touring around the Giant Tree Demon's body.

Looking at the charred large branch and the corpse of that Green Tree Sprite, Leylin suddenly thought of something and went up to pick up some cells and their remains.

"Just one fight and I've used almost half of the potions I stockpiled!" Having results like this is considered not bad! ”

Afraid of the arrival of reinforcements, Leylin hurriedly drove away the horse carriage, until three strong horses frothy in the mouth. Traveling as fast as the wind, he disappeared from the horizon.

Half an hour later, the gray owl swooped down and landed on top of a branch.

"Hankus is dead!" The owl makes a human sound.

"I know, I know!" Suddenly a human face appeared beside the tree branch, "That is a Tier 2 Acolyte, should we chase after it?"

“The plan has already started! This stupid tree demon really deserves to die here! ”The phantom cloud pecked the feathers on its body.

"I'll go first!" Saying that, the owl spread its wings and flew into the sky.

The human face fell silent for a while and then revealed a human-like smile, "Although it's only a slave, one still has to pay the price to kill my subordinates!"

The branch expanded to where the Giant Demon Tree lay. At this moment, the fire had already extinguished, leaving only a few charred wood and the corpse of the Green Tree Sprite.

Suddenly, a corpse gasped. Actually still alive.

This Green Tree Sprite was already completely charred. Without immediate treatment it would surely lose its life.

The tree branch carried the Green Tree Sprite right in front of the human face, "Do you want revenge?"

"Yes! Because ...... Retaliation, Doris ..... Willing to pay whatever the price, even if! ”Green Tree Sprite struggling to speak.

“Haha ..... Alright!” The human face laughed out loud, “I happen to have one potion from the previous experiment that ended in failure. I'll use it for you then! ”

……

Suddenly a crack appeared on the black colored tree, and it enveloped the entire Green Tree Sprite …

Chapter 44

Gray Stone Town

Leylin was unaware that anyone was planning to deal with him, so he continued riding the horse carriage and traveling quickly.

After the fifth day, when the surroundings began to show traces of human activity, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the Magi generally looked at their acolytes in the same way that humans looked at ants, it is undeniable that they came from normal humans.

Although human experiments continued to be conducted despite repeated bans, especially in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, all the Magi still chose to avoid the large human community. This prevented human casualties from piling up and incited the wrath of the other Magi.

"Once I reach the city ahead, I can take a breath!" After 5 days of continuous travel, Leylin and his horse were all extremely exhausted.

At this moment, he lowered his horse speed and looked at his surroundings.

Now there was a stretch of loose fields on both sides, and not far from it was a giant windmill.

Clear streams flowed beside these fields, and there were even some unknown species of fish swimming in them.

Leylin suddenly felt relaxed when he saw this scene.

"Premise! Peaceful human world! I haven't felt this kind of calm in a long time .... ”.

"According to the map, the nearest city should be Gray Stone City!" Leylin looked at the indicators on the map provided by A. I'm Chip in his mind.

“This place is still too close to the academy. There might be a gathering point for the Magi nearby, but it still looks too dangerous to sell potions or ask about the latest news here. ”

"In addition, I continue to get this unpleasant feeling!" Leylin's brows furrowed as he looked back.

"Will the enemy let me off easily after killing the Giant Demon Tree?"

[Beep! Transfiguration Spell Analysis complete!]

An . My Voice Chip sounded in his mind at that moment.

"That's great!" There was a joyous expression on Leylin's face. He hurriedly read the introduction to the Transfiguration Spell.

[Transfiguration of Spells: Rank 0 spells. Effect: Ability to slightly reconstruct facial muscles for a long time. Consumption: 1 Spiritual Strength, 1 Magic Power a day]

This was the Rank 0 spell that Leylin had specially chosen to conceal his identity.

"Can it just change the outward appearance?" Leylin muttered to himself. “Many Magi can discern one's identity through the energy waves emitted by their Spiritual Strength and some can even look directly into their souls. Of course, these people were all official Magi. Right now, I most likely won't meet them. ”

"A . I'm Chip! Is it possible to optimize the effect of Transfiguration and increase the concealment of energy waves from Spiritual Strength? "

Leylin asked.

[Beep! Building optimization task of concealment of Spiritual Energy waves, start the analysis ..].

A dozen seconds later, the answer is A. My Chip beeps. [Able to optimize. Requires 7 points of Spiritual Strength. Settlement time: 14 days 5 hours. Additional data required: Spirit Research Study, Blurring Runes. ]

“7 points Spiritual Strength? I can achieve it in a few years. However, the information about the Spirit Research and Runes Research was not clear it would not be easy to obtain! "

Research on people like spirits has always been the most mysterious aspect of the Magus World. Although the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy had a reputation of being at the forefront of this field, the academy actually only had a few superficial theories. As for Leylin, he was only a Level 2 Acolyte so he did not have access to such information.

“Mantra Transfiguration should be enough for now. '' Leylin stared at his surroundings while driving the horse carriage hurriedly into the small forest nearby.

When Leylin reappeared a moment later, his appearance had changed completely.

Her original youthful appearance was now somewhat mature. Coupled with thick eyebrows and large eyes, she had a face that looked very common.

Her clothes had also been turned into leather clothes from the weather. The cross bar hanging on his waist buckle also looked older.

Leylin originally had a tall stature and looked well fed. His body was already like a typical adult before the change. Looking at him now, he looked like a thin yet experienced warrior.

Leylin walked to the side of the river to see his shadow. "En! Not bad! Even my voice changed and I could modulate the tone as well. ”

His voice gradually became rougher, a drastic change from being gentle, immature and young than before.

"I will temporarily enter the city under this disguise!" Leylin nodded and took out a leather bag. Inside was a white powder.

"The Aroma Removal Powder of the Underground Blind Worm, only 1 gram can cleanse living organisms from their scent completely!" Leylin said softly.

“This should be the highest method of disguise in the mortal world. My appearance and aroma have changed, so it won't be easy to find me through the usual means! But as for the wave of Spiritual Strength energy, I can't do anything about it. ”

Leylin looked through the horse carriage again. He then threw out unnecessary items, only storing crates containing potions and spell books. He also tied a chest containing ingredients to one of the two horses.

"Let's go!" Approaching the last horse, which carried no weight whatsoever, Leylin unrolled the reel and whipped it.

"Woo!" The black horse curled up then ran in a random direction.

Next, Leylin returned to the horse carriage and sprinkled a kind of red powder on it. He followed that by sprinkling the remaining Smell Removal Powder on top of the two horses. He then rode one of the horses and left.

Not long after, black smoke appeared in the forest, followed by a flame.

As he continued down the main road, more and more human signs could be seen. After an hour, Leylin saw the black shadow of Gray Stone City.

The city walls are short. The circular roof and the sharp gray building could be seen from the outside.

Beside these walls were armed soldiers patrolling the area.

“Say your destination. "The patrol leader wearing half-skin protection stopped Leylin.

"I am a mercenary, and also a merchant!" Leylin smiled. He could see the greed in the eyes of that patrol leader.

Seeing Leylin's horse riding and chest behind him, the leader gulped. His eyes swept over the clothes Leylin was wearing. When he saw the cross blade hanging from Leylin's waist, his expression turned to fear.

"The cost to enter is one bronze coin!"

"Here we go!" Leylin threw a new yellow bronze coin at the leader.

"You can come in! Remember not to wander at night. If you are caught doing so, you will be imprisoned! ”The leader revealed a very unsightly smile.

"Thank you!" Leylin carried his suitcase through the city gate.

"Leader?" A soldier was clearly not assigned.

"Shut up!" Didn't you see how she dressed? Being able to travel alone while carrying things and arrive in the city unscathed meant that he was no ordinary person. Who knows, he might even be a Knight! "The leader snarled in a low voice," Next time, don't find trouble with these kind of people! "

“It seems like wherever it is, strength can get me through it easily. ”

Leylin climbed into the streets of the city. He saw the commoners on both sides of the road avoiding him in fear. When they looked at Leylin, their gazes endured immense fear and envy as they nodded in agreement.

"The development of this Grey Stone Town does not seem to be comparable to even one of the small towns from my previous life!"

Leylin estimated that, at most, there were only about 10,000 residents in the entire Stone Gray City.

As for the standard of living, they were even worse.

The sidewalk was made of yellow mud and was filled with coarse sand. A slight gust of wind would cause yellow dust to swirl in the air.

Most of the people on both sides of the street were malnourished and only wore raw gray or black robes that even had many serrated holes in them.

Along these streets are some fences that cover cows or sheep. Some small-sized cattle even roam freely. The smell of a new layer of dirt constantly enveloped the atmosphere, with no sign of dissipating.

"Dirty, messy, bad!" This was Leylin's first impression of Gray Stone City.

"Let's find a place to stay first!" The trip made him a little tired.

Leylin had not managed to find any inn even after searching for some time. In the end, he decided to spend some copper in exchange for information regarding the residence of the locals.

"Large Sword and Wine Cup. There goes. "Leylin looked at the words on the signboard and was a little speechless.

This family shop is located somewhere to the west, where public order seems to be more chaotic. Along the way, Leylin saw many drunkards and fights broke out. Knives and daggers were even used in one instance. However, there was no trace of the security guards at all.

Pushing the door open, a lower smell of wine infiltrated Leylin's nose.

"Come! Drink another cup! "" Nice, Jack! "The noise constantly assaulted Leylin's eardrum.

The interior is a kind of pub. There were a lot of drunkards who drank heavily. Some were even half-asleep and drunk, scavenging female hostesses and talking dirty.

"Master! What do you want? ”The bartender was a yellow-haired young man who looked like the most drunk man in this pub.

"I hear I can find a place to live here?"

Leylin sat on the bench beside the table.

"Yes! We are the only place of business in the entire Grey Stone City that provides lodging services! "The bartender shrugged, however," there was nothing to be proud of. We don't have many visitors here all year! "

“Give me a quiet room and take care of my two horses. How much? ”Leylin looked at the large barrel behind the bartender.

"Give me your best beer here too!" Leylin tossed the silver coin.

"It's great to be at your service!" Immediately, the bartender brought the cup with the handle to the table, "Honey Butter Liquor! Our best liquor here! "

Leylin sipped some liquor while listening to the bartender introduction.

In fact, many Magi do not like liquor because it can dull the senses. They prefer drinks that can boost their spirits.

Leylin did not drink either. However, his curiosity was piqued so much that he wanted to taste. However, this Honey Butter Liquor was ordinary. It even had a sour aroma, which made Leylin feel cheated.

"The lodging here for one night is 30 copper and caring for two horses, including their animal feed, means an additional twenty copper!"

Before leaving the academy, Leylin had already changed a few bags of change to take with him. So now, he very blatantly threw two silver coins, "I will stay here for the first 4 nights ……"

"Look! Very nice horse! Color this feather! Build this! They were clearly more valuable than the war horses in the city lord's castle! ”

A very annoying voice sounded.

Chapter 45

Reconnaissance

Glancing outward, Leylin's brows furrowed. Both horses seem to have caused trouble.

Her lips curved into a grin as she turned around and quickly left the pub.

Some local thugs surrounded his dark horse and measured it. Their gaze was marred by greed as they looked at the excited horses and their chests. One of them is actually in the act of impatiently untie.

"Are you trying to pick up my stuff?" Leylin.

He looked somewhat intimidating in his leather armor with a menacing cross blade hanging on his belt. But it turns out that's not enough.

One of them, a cross-eyed criminal, yelled at him, “No doubt this is the horse I lost! Why do you have it? You stole it from my family, didn't you! You fucking thief! "

This gang of thugs thought that even though Leylin was an armed soldier, he would not be able to face their entire gang.

"Rubber! Arrest him and take him to see public security! ”The other interrupted roughly.

The surrounding residents secretly hated what was happening. But no one dared to step forward.

"Let's go! She's alone! ”Cross-Eyed pulled a dagger from inside her robe and led the attack.

Leylin sneered, "It looks like I can loosen this creaking joint. "He dodged, dodging Cross-Eyed's sharp dagger attack. He immediately grabbed Cross-Eyed's right wrist and slightly shuffled it. Cross-Eyed screamed in pain as the dagger fell to the floor.

“Argh! That hurts! What the hell are you doing? Release me! My brother is a public security officer. He won't let you get away with this! ”Cross-Eyed wailing in pain.

"Oh really? Public security officer? I'm so scared! "Leylin cried excessively, and then he twisted viciously.

* Crack! * Brone-broken piercing sounds are heard. Cross-Eyed instantly fainted from the excruciating pain.

At this moment, Leylin's physical strength had already reached the Knight stage. Against these criminals, he naturally did not have to exert much effort.

"Boss! The boss! ”Members of other villains shouted, but no one dared to approach.

Leylin smiled. He turned into a black shadow and dove straight into their midst.

* Bang! Crack down! Argha! *

The miserable cries of the criminals and the heartbreaking intestines the sound of crushed bones could be heard continuously. Leylin was like a gust of black wind. In a few moves, he dropped them all to the ground, each wearing a broken arm or a broken leg.

Leylin smiled amiably at them and walked towards where Cross-Eyed had fainted. He raised his foot and stomped on the boss' right foot viciously.

"Aragh!" Soon, the pain was touching him. Both of his eyes turned around, and then he fainted once more.

"Take your boss away! You can call me at any time if you want revenge. But if you do, it won't be as easy as getting a broken arm or a broken leg! "

Leylin said to the thugs. In their eyes, his smile was like a demonic smile.

Upon seeing this thug running away, Leylin returned to the bar.

"At the very least, he has the physical strength of a Preparatory Knight!" The bartender groaned inwardly as he put on a softer and more humble expression.

“My most respected master! Is there anything I can do for you? "

Seeing the deadly silence looming over the pub, Leylin could not help but smile at his bitter inner voice.

He did not want to be seen as a monster. However, he had brought a lot of stuff with him, so what could he do if someone stole it while he was in the room? Although he left the Tracing Spell on his belongings, if the spell disappeared, Leylin would not even have a place to cry.

However, after Leylin showed the strength of the Preparatory Knights, many of those who had malicious intentions towards him quietly retreated.

"Help me take this crate to my room, put my horse in the cage and give them the best fodder you have!"

"That criminal from earlier, what background does he have?"

Bartender's down, “Master, you really don't have to worry about that. He may have had some illicit deals with public security officers but none too seriously. ”

Having the strength of a Preparatory Knight meant having access to Knight training techniques.

Such people were nobility or had great power supporting them. A small town public security officer would not dare to do anything.

"Take me to my room!" Leylin asked casually

The bartender deliberately took him to a room at the very back of the building, farthest from the pub. He took the key and opened the room.

A golden ray of sunlight shone through the window into the room

The bed was in the middle of the room, and the sheets on it looked very clean. There was a blue vase on the bedside table with some wildflowers inside.

“It looks very clean. This place will be fine! "Leylin nodded.

"This is your key, please keep it safe!" The bartender respectfully handed over the brass key.

Leylin took the key and sent the bartender away to take care of his horse. He unpacked the contents of the crate and ordered a steak to be sent to his room. After he told the bartender not to bother him, he closed the door.

When he closed the wooden door, he found the room noise cancellation effect to be better. The sounds from outside are greatly reduced.

“My actions today were a bit too flashy! But I had no choice. Gray Stone City was too small, the activities of foreigners would definitely arouse unwanted attention. However, it was still much safer to be behind the city walls. People, at the very least, would think twice before casting a broad region effect spell! ”

"Further down, there's a chance that the 50-50 faction that sent people to block the path sent someone chasing me. It would be better if they didn't. Otherwise, I would definitely have to kill the next wave of pursuers so that I could leave cleanly. ”

Leylin was deep in thought, “The waves of Spiritual Strength and spirit energy sent to follow in the footsteps looked like the deeds of an official Magus. But this seems like a waste of resources. Afterall, who would send an official Magus to track down and kill Acolyte Level 2? "

"The greatest possibility is a Level 3 Acolyte with a Magic Artifact or a pet being nurtured by a Magus!"

“I have to recuperate and stay alert to any activity that occurs while preparing to get rid of the enemy! I also need to use the Transfiguration Spell every day! ”

Leylin thought as he carried a piece of hot steak pipe that he ordered into his mouth.

The taste of the steak was not bad and Leylin, who was starving, ate it all in the blink of an eye. When he finished, he asked the bartender to clean up the mess. After the bartender left, Leylin hung the 'Don't Disturb' wooden sign outside the door and set up layers of energy particles to act as an early warning alarm system before falling into a deep meditative state.

Meditation is something the Magus should do on a regular basis. Although the increase in Spiritual Strength from this was rather small, Leylin still endured every day.

After working hard for over an hour, Leylin's head slumped and he walked into slumberland.

……

Outside Gray Stone Town, in the air above the scorched forest.

* Pss Pss! * The green-winged creature suddenly swoops down.

"Doris finally smelled the scent of the enemy!" The Green Tree Sprite Doris retracted her wings and stepped onto the burning wood with her bare skin with a puzzled expression.

“This is where the aroma ends. "At this moment, the Green Tree Sprite no longer had the same appearance as before.

Previously, it was only the size of a human head. However, Doris is now as big as a 7 or 8-year-old.

Moreover, her beautiful real face now had layer upon layer of warts piercing through her. That looks so disgusting.

His mouth was filled with fangs, and his tongue kept flashing like a snake.

His body now had many folds, as well as some strange-looking scales.

Originally, the Green Tree Sprite was a kind of living creature that represented extreme beauty. Now, no one would connect Doris with the Green Tree Sprite.

Doris screamed full of hatred, "Human, you won't be able to escape!" His tongue flickered. It suddenly spread its wings and flew towards the additional horse that Leylin had released.

In the next two days, Leylin remained inside, finally recovering his Spiritual Strength and strength back to its peak.

“It's been two days, and they still haven't caught up! It seems like it wasn't the hijackers chasing me or they were going to use magic to sniff me now! Perhaps it was a slave or a creature that was nurtured by the Magus! ”

Leylin. His movements were very calm these two days. The only notable event was when the public security officer brought gifts as he visited Leylin. The officer said he was there to beg his wife's younger brother. He then tried to ask about Leylin's past, but Leylin simply deceived him and did not reveal any information at all.

Then, Leylin turned into a black robe and pulled on the hood to cover his face as he jumped out of the window.

In a dark and dark hallway.

"Master!" "Master, you're here!" Some of the villains, upon seeing Leylin's black robe, immediately advanced to receive him.

"How's that? Has there been any strange happenings around Gray Stone City these past few days? ”Greedy voice from behind the black cloak.

“I will talk first, I will talk first! In a nearby village, Bibi Sofia's cow gives birth to a two-headed calf. The others all said it was cursed! ”

This is what the criminal, who pushed the others away, hastily said.

[Target blood flow increased by 12. 4% of his brain waves seemed stable. Judgement: It is not a lie!] A. I'm Chip chanting his head.

Leylin nodded and threw the silver coin at the villain.

“Now it's my turn, Uncle Hugo and his son disappeared in the nearby forest while traveling! And a wolf trail has been found at the scene! "

……

This was the villain that Leylin had been subduing for the past two days. They are very comfortable to gather news.

At first, they tried to give out false information to get a reward, but how could Leylin be fooled by ordinary humans like them with an A value. I Chip to help him? He immediately broke the arms of the liar on the spot, shocking everyone present at that moment.

Under the coercion of money and the threat of violence, these criminals immediately, faithfully reported all the news that was happening in and around Gray Stone City.

“What did you say, human corpses were found? There are also traces of thick green liquid? "Leylin is obviously interested," Speak clearly and this gold coin is yours! "

A skinny red-haired youth gulped down his saliva, “This is the news I just heard. At the mill next to Messi Village, several bodies were found. All the blood has been drained dry. Everyone suspects this to be a vampire masterpiece. The city lord even sent some Knights to investigate! ”

"En! Very nice! "Leylin asked for the location again and realized that the area was very close to where he had last erased his tracks. He nodded and gave the gold coins to the young man. After listening to the entire news, he left the alley.
