Ambushes


“Based on latest news and A. My Calculation Chip, a creature that sucks the blood of others might be chasing me! ”


"In addition, it tracks me by smell! Their number is unknown, but the number should not be more than two, or there may be only one! ”


Previously, Leylin put away his scent using Scent-Masking Powder and changed his appearance before he entered the city. He wanted to use the scent of mixed people to hide it. He would then gather enough information about the enemy before planning a counterattack.


Now, that seems to pay off pretty well.


"Daradly! My Scent-Masking powder is almost depleted, otherwise, I could have left this place a long time ago! "Leylin guessed regretfully.


The Underground Blind Worm was a rather rare material used by the Magi, and its price was never cheap. Leylin had spent quite a lot to obtain a small package of ingredients before turning them into Scent-Masking Powder.


However, it was enough for only about 3 or 4 days. In such a short time, he couldn't possibly run far. Once the enemy expanded its detection range, its traces would definitely be found.


“Better to finish this as soon as possible. If they chase me to my destination, then it is of no use to me! ”


Leylin's face became solemn.


Even now, the powder's effects were beginning to dissipate. He increasingly relied on the complicated fragrance mix in the city to mask his scent. Unfortunately, the unknown creature was still able to track him down even after everything he did.


After returning to his room, Leylin casually sat on the bed and mentally called out to A. I'm Chip.


"A . I'm Chip! In accordance with the news obtained during these past two days, simulate the enemy's movement patterns, and devise a plan to kill them! ”


[Beep! Set the mission parameters, start simulation ..... Map imported ..... Host battle power imported, analysis is ongoing .... ”].


An . The cold and heartless mechanical sound of Chip flashed across his mind.


An . My Chip was a tool that was specifically allocated to scientists in his previous world, so how could he have intelligence or even emotions? Due to human rights concerns, they have banned A. I Chips from embodying intelligence and emotion as the core directives in its programming.


[Simulation complete. The host kills the target but will sustain minor injuries. Success rate: 67. 7%]


An . My Voice Chip chanted while sending a huge amount of information into Leylin's mind.


"Preserve injury?" Leylin stroked his chin, "Is there any possibility of killing the target unscathed?"


[Data is Not Enough! Need more detailed information about target!]


"So like this," Leylin shook his head. According to the news he got from the villains, the creatures outside the city were already in an angry mood and started attacking the locals. At this rate, it will definitely enter the city within 24 hours.


Although there was a mutual agreement among the Magi not to interfere with ordinary human lives, there were still some who were crazy enough to do so.


If a massive casualty occurs, and his identity is discovered, Leylin will have to take responsibility for collateral damage, in addition to considering the creatures and Magi behind them. This was a problem he clearly did not want.


"67. 7%, this is enough for me to take a risk! I also have the confidence to be able to retreat completely! "Vehemence marked Leylin's face as he walked out.


The pub was still boisterous as usual. Upon seeing Leylin, the bartender advanced and bowed, "Master, do you have any instructions?"


"Help me find someone ...." Leylin spoke slowly and made his request.


"No problem! Although there were no such mercenaries in this city, there were bandits here. I can contact them on your behalf. ”


The bartender said, “By the way, Lord Roland, the lord of the city, sent people there. He wants to see you, sir! "


"Master?" Leylin nodded. Wherever the Preparatory Knights went, they would always be warmly welcomed and accepted by the nobles. If Roland knew of Leylin's status as an acolyte, the treatment would be even greater.


“I have something now. How about we turn into meeting time the day after tomorrow? "Leylin asked.


"Of course!"


“Also, the steak you have here is not bad, send a portion to my room tonight. "Leylin instructed once more.


"As far as you are!" The bartender smiled.


……


Second day, late night.


A gray-robed figure appeared in the nearby charred forest.


"Investigate? What needs to be investigated here? There are no treasures here. Most likely this was caused by some careless farmer, which resulted in this area burning! ”


"Investigate? What needs to be investigated here? There are no treasures here. Most likely this was caused by some careless farmer, which resulted in this area burning! ”


The gray-robed man was quite skinny. However, his movements were rather quick as he was constantly searching among the scorched wood piles.


“Something is wrong! These scorched marks were not done by normal flames! "The man's lisp is wrinkled. His experience as a bandit made him realize something was clearly not true just by looking at the charred marks.


“This .... It seems to be the act of a mysterious entity. "The bandit's hair stands up. As a member of underground activities, he had only heard of this entity in myths. These stories emphasize the most important things about them: their strangeness, their cold heart, and that they should not be made enemies!


“Better I hurry and go! If I knew this mission was related to this mysterious entity, I would not accept it even if the rewards were dozens of times over! ”


The gray-robed man trembled and wanted to leave.


"I found it . Smell enemies! ”At this time, a hoarse and disgusting voice sounded from behind.


The bandit's body shivered. He saw an abomination, the size of a small child, floating in the air.


His body was full of scales in an irregular manner. His face is full of warts. From time to time, his snake-like tongue hissed.


"I'm afraid even the devil won't be this bad!" Thought the bandit as he leapt back 5 meters.


“I should have thought of this before! I really turned into bait! ”The bandit shouted.


"Don't think of leaving!" Doris spat out her tongue and flew over the bandits, immediately with just a few flaps of her wings.


“We can talk about this! I have a lot of information about this mission principal! ”The bandit shouted in despair.


"Dead!"


Doris's eyes turned red. It did not care about the plea and scream of the bandits. Immediately, it chewed on the right arm that waved its dagger and ate ferociously at the blood of the bandits.


A few minutes later, only the corpse of the bandit withered remained.


“The aroma attached to his robe! That damned maid must be in town! ”Doris squinted his eyes at the silhouette of the city wall.


* Xiu! *


Black arrow enlarged last. An explosion rang out as it sounded supersonic, directly piercing Doris' chest.


Black arrow enlarged last. An explosion rang out as it sounded supersonic, directly piercing Doris' chest.


“The last Scent-Masking powder is wasted here. I even sprinkled the paralysis powder on the bandit's body. I can't believe that this arrow won't hit its target! "


From behind some tall bushes, Leylin appeared wearing a leather suit and carrying the arrow that had just been used.


"Enemy!" Doris's face twitched. His original disgusting face now even showed veins protruding from him. The sight will surely make the children cry.


"Even I wouldn't have guessed that the one chasing me was the Green Tree Sprite from before! This originally beautiful creature had now turned into something like this! "Leylin was a little surprised.


[Mutated Green Tree Sprite. Power: 3. 1, Agility: 4. 3, Vitality: 3. 5, Spiritual Strength: 5. 5. Ability is unknown!] A. My Voice Chip chanted readings and situations.


“The attribute really raised this much! What an amazing spell. However, the unstable condition of his body could slowly be seen on its surface. It is impossible to last more than half a month. "Leylin's eyes blinked coldly.


“The enemy that killed my father and sister! Even if Doris had to betray her soul, Doris would avenge them! "


Doris howled as she plucked the arrow from her chest. A puddle of green liquid gushed from his wound.


Green liquid quickly covered the entire chest.A plant root looks elongated continuously and immediately the wound is pressed.


"Go to hell!" Doris charged at Leylin in a green blur.


"It's actually passed through so many mutations that melee attacks are no longer effective?" Leylin nodded and flicked a finger.


"Pa!"


Suddenly, a ball of mud rose from the ground, blocking Doris' path. It was revealed as a red potion.


* Bang! * Fire is burning. The accompanying heatwave even scorched nearby vegetation.


A flame enveloped Doris and the crackling sound of something being roasted rang out.


* Hu! * Green figure emerges from the sea of fire. His body was charred black. There was even still a flame burning on it as it charged towards Leylin.


[Target speed reduced by 67%!] Chiming A. I'm Chip.


“At first hit by paralysis powder, and then injured by explosive potion. Even if it specialized in fire resistance, it would definitely still receive damage! ”


Leylin's face was calm. He threw out an arrow and then drew his sword as he advanced forward.


“At first hit by paralysis powder, and then injured by explosive potion. Even if it specialized in fire resistance, it would definitely still receive damage! ”


Leylin's face was calm. He threw out an arrow and then drew his sword as he advanced forward.


"Cross Slash!" The shining silver cross blade. This time, Leylin even circulated the internal Knight's flaming energy. A sharp blade reflected a glimmer of light.


When the figure of the cross directly crashed into the Green Tree Sprite, immediately a puddle of green liquid appeared.


Doris fell, and Leylin stopped advancing. He looked at the cross blade in his hand and his brows furrowed.


The silver bar was already filled with undulating spots where various fluids from Doris' body were splashed.


“Even her body fluids have a strong corrosive effect? This cross is broken! "Leylin felt a little sad. This cross blade had been taken from a noble youth while at the traveling party. It was very useful to use, but he never thought that it would be destroyed here.


He threw away the cross. When she saw Doris who was still trying to charge despite the slash on her chest, Leylin quickly chanted a spell.


"Mumbra's hands!"


A black palm rose from Doris' shadow. He grabbed his ankle and held it firmly on the ground.


* Ssi Sssi! * A layer of white mist rises from the black colored palm.


“Although the Umbra Hand had a corrosive effect, it seemed, against the mutated Green Tree Sprite, it was still somewhat lacking! Leylin's mind quickly overcame the situation.


"I'll use you as a guinea pig for my spell I just learned!"


"Blue lightning sounds! Listen to my orders! Descend to the mortal realm and attack my enemies! ”(Byron Language)


As Leylin voiced his incantation, a silvery-blue lightning suddenly appeared in his hand.


"Go!" Leylin pointed his fingers and a dazzling lightning flew towards Doris in an arch.


"Doris is not afraid of death!" At this moment, Doris extended her hand forward, and her palm split open. From there, objects like tree roots protrude.


* Xiu! * Tree roots are intertwined and assumed to be bow-shaped. The brown arrows were already loaded there.


"Not good!" Leylin hurriedly avoided.


Chapter 47


Hassles


Leylin tried to snatch a way out, but an overwhelming pain radiated from his shoulder.


[Home master sustained injuries from the arrow! The warning! The warning! High concentration of bacteria on the arrowhead, recommend immediate disinfection of the affected area!]


"Damn it!" Leylin hurriedly took out an arrow and took out a silver dagger from his robe. Gritting his teeth, he gouged out the flesh surrounding him.


He hurriedly took the green-colored herb from his waist pouch and poured half of it into the wound. The other half he emptied into his mouth. After hearing A. I Sound Chip, [Crisis under control], did he sigh in relief.


When Leylin was hit by an arrow, Doris was also struck by lightning, and fell, falling to the ground.


At this moment, Doris' entire body was charred and her wings were more than half broken. . One of his hands vanished without a trace, and his ankle was still grasped by Umbra's Hand spell. His life force had dropped to a dangerous level. He could die at any time.


"Revenge! My revenge! ”Doris involuntarily continued muttering those words. Suddenly his eyes shone coldly, and it bit into his own right leg.


* Dad! * Flying feet in the air. Umbra's hand, which held the ankle, disappeared quickly as well.


"Let's die together!"


Doris's whole body swelled up. The warts on his face were shaking. His speed tripled as he charged straight at Leylin.


"Damn it!" Leylin suppressed his shoulder wound and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he threw out the last explosive potion.


* Bang! * A great explosion resounds.


The red flame and green liquid were mixed together. It makes the fire dark green.


Leylin rolled several times before finally being able to escape the blast radius.


At this moment, the surrounding environment was showered with a bunch of green-colored bones and flesh. Totally disgusting.


"Eh?" Looking at the green-colored remains on the ground, Leylin saw that the yellow liquid was flowing rapidly, continuously damaging the ground. His expression changed involuntarily, and he hurriedly inspected his body.


A few drops of viscous liquid had involuntarily damaged his skin armor and opened some wounds on his body. Around each of these wounds was a yellow patch that started to numb the area.


[Host suffered from an unknown secondary pathogenic infection. It had invaded the Host and spread very quickly. Recommend taking countermeasures!]


"A . I'm Chip! Scan injury! Find a way to treat it! ”


[Mission parameters set! Scan ...].


[Beep! Treatment requires 30 grams of Human Head Bird, 500 milliliters of pink ink oil, 50 grams of Green Coconut Rock.].


An . My Chip kept noting a large number of items.


“When do I have time to buy this? AN . I Chip, come up with a method for immediate suppression! "Leylin's face went dark.


[Squeezing wounds with fire will be effective in reducing the rate of infection!] A. I Chip responded.


"Fire?" Leylin tore off his clothes and casually took out a burning branch as he placed a burning flame on his wound.


* sssii! * The sound of something barbecue is heard accompanied by the smell of charred meat. Leylin's face shriveled in pain.


A few minutes later, A. I Chip pronounce an effective treatment. Leylin put away the flames and sat limp on the ground, cold sweat dripping all over his body.


“The enemy this time is very dangerous! Its resistance to physical attacks and fire was extremely high. His speed was also fast, and there was a poison attack. It seems to have been specially prepared for me. If it wasn't for A. My Chips, I'm afraid ... ”.


Doris' body fluids, which contain a secondary infection from arrow poisons, are something that A. I Chip haven't taken into account. This left Leylin, who had only expected a minor injury from the encounter, suffering a miserable victory.


“In addition, the explosive potions I have prepared have all been used! I need to prepare more materials! "


The last few battles, Leylin relied heavily on potions to defeat his enemies. However, his consumption was also huge, and he threw out nearly a thousand Magic Crystals.


Fortunately, he knew how to concoct an explosive potion; otherwise, the cost would skyrocket even higher.


"Fire can only temporarily inhibit the spread of pathogens. I have to buy the ingredients necessary to cure it completely! "Leylin looked at his charred wound, his brows furrowed as he swallowed another Strength Potion before lifting himself up and returning to Gray Stone City.


"Fire can only temporarily inhibit the spread of pathogens. I have to buy the ingredients necessary to cure it completely! "Leylin looked at his charred wound, his brows furrowed as he swallowed another Strength Potion before lifting himself up and returning to Gray Stone City.


It's a big distraction. It was very likely that the city guards had already sensed that something was amiss and would immediately send someone to check on it.


Leylin endured the intense pain and slipped back inside Gray Stone City. He silently let out his chest, not bothering to even bring his two horses with him. After stealing a light brown horse outside the city walls, he fled in the shade of the night. He headed to the Magus market located on the map.


As for the call from the city lord, it was only natural that he ignored it altogether.


……


A dozen odd days later, on a trip to Wolkan Province, a light brown horse was seen carrying two large chests with a black-robed figure on its back. The horse gasped for breath as all four of its toenails ran on the ground.


"A . I'm Chip! Show me my current status! "Leylin's body moving up and down with the movements of a horse, thought to himself.


[Beep! Leylin Farlier, Level 2 Acolyte, Knight. Strength: 1. 3 (2. 5), Agility: 1. 5 (2. 7), Vitality: 1. 0 (3. 0), Spiritual Strength: 4. 1 (4. 4), Magic Power: 4. 0. Status: Host in a weakened state due to infection from pathogens]


“Although the pathogen is inhibited, it has been dozens of days since then. My body is still in a weak state. Only my Spiritual Strength has increased again these – must be due to the result of constant meditation! ”


Leylin looked at his stats and smiled bitterly.


He now has a completely new face. He had transformed from an ice-cold warrior into a blue-eyed westerner with extremely gallant hair. However, his face had no color.


"A . I'm Chip! Project a mind map! '' Leylin saw the bit of information he had compiled superimposed onto a very detailed map.


"From Bicky's intelligence gathering, there should be a meeting area for the Magi nearby. There, I will be able to purchase ingredients to treat this infection! "


Based on half a month of investigation and simulation, Leylin suspected that the opponent had only sent Doris. Due to the official war with the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, no one could be bothered with a lowly Level 2 Acolyte like him. This is good news.


"I might even be able to find out about the current situation in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy!" Leylin made up his mind and left the main road. He quickly found a place, took out his tent and equipment, and went to set up camp.


“This area seems a bit quiet. However, that's only natural. Magus activities have always distanced themselves from the human community as much as possible. Moreover, the radiation from the Magus was not something that ordinary humans could withstand. ”


Leylin sprinkled white powder around the tent area to prevent insects and animals from approaching. He then took out a metal pot, poured water into it, and lit a bonfire.


Just as the stream of water started to boil, Leylin emerged from the trees and threw some mushrooms and other plants into it.


Just as the stream of water started to boil, Leylin emerged from the trees and threw some mushrooms and other plants into it.


A moment later, after adding some spices and some slices of jerky, the scent of fresh food seeped into the air.


Leylin took the bowl for himself. White soup base. It feels very comfortable to drink it while it is hot.


Leylin sighed, “As expected, hot food is best. I almost vomited because I was constantly eating biscuits and jerky. ”


The surroundings were filled with wildflowers, and there was also the sound of an unknown bird; its cry was very similar to a skylark tree.


"If it wasn't for my injury, this would be perfect!" Leylin finished his meat broth, and adjusted his robe.


Under his clothes, the scorched flesh area had a layer of fine hair growing around it looking like hair on one's head, which frightened people.


"There, kill him!"


Signs of movement came from nearby trees. Leylin's eyebrows wrinkled. The screams gradually became closer. He had a feeling that trouble came knocking once more.


The bushes nearby parted ways when a large man protecting a young lady dressed in noble clothes rushed out.


When the big man saw Leylin, he was shocked. He never expected anyone to set up camp here. He said with a bitter smile to Leylin, "I'm afraid you will also be involved in this. ”


"There, don't let him escape!" A group of soldiers armed with armor rushed over. The leader was wearing a very beautiful chainmail.


"This outfit doesn't seem like something mercenaries or adventurers would wear. These people were most likely the personal followers of some nobles who were even more troublesome! '' Leylin's brows furrowed.


According A. I Chip scanned, this big man is obviously injured but still has the strength of the Preparatory Knights.


As for the pursuers, the leader was at Knight Level, whereas the soldiers behind were only slightly stronger than average humans.


"Who are you?" The leader looked at Leylin.


“I'm just an innocent bystander, please go ahead and don't mind me. I haven't seen anything today! "Leylin continued to drink her meat broth.


This relaxed vibe clearly made the leader of the private squads worried as the big man and the young woman stood on the other side.


“I'm just an innocent bystander, please go ahead and don't mind me. I haven't seen anything today! "Leylin continued to drink her meat broth.


This relaxed vibe clearly made the leader of the private squads worried as the big man and the young woman stood on the other side.


“Please save us! We are the descendants of Viscount Barrett. If you help us, I will definitely remember your kindness, and you will forever have a friendship with the Barrett Family! "


The young lady had a pair of alluring blue eyes. At this moment his face had an imploring expression that would most likely move the majority of the male noble youths to swear impulsively to fight for his honor.


"Miss Lanning, the Viscount just asked you to return. Please don't fight! ”The leader told the young woman.


“That cunning and despicable worm, he coveted my family treasure and poisoned my father to death. Even if I die I won't come back! ”


The young lady spilled all her troubles in one go, glancing at Leylin from time to time. Although his movements were very well hidden, Leylin was still looking through it.


“It looks like an inherited struggle by a descendant who has failed. Deliberately expressing this conflict, you want to drag me into this huh? "Leylin shook his head.


“Viscount Sire has not done the things you claim. As for the inheritance, it should be decided after the meeting with the nobles! "


The leader shouted loudly.


"I have proof in my body!" The young woman snarled.


"Hurry, take Missy home!" The leader seemed ready not to negotiate further.


Some of the troops used to brandish their blades and swords forward. The big man roared and protected the noble young lady.


The strength of that big man was definitely not bad. Even though he was injured, he still made these 5 soldiers pay with their lives.


Ordinary troops advanced to cut off and take the big man's head. They then tied the shrieking young lady up and only then did the leader who was wary of Leylin give her a suspicious look.


“It looks like we've been bothering you! Let's go!"


The leader said as he turned around and prepared to leave.


Chapter 48


Marketplaces


"Very? Then why are you still holding your sword? "


Leylin got up slowly.


"The secret of our Master cannot be heard by others!" The leader swung his sword slowly. "After all, the wound on your body is the reason why you can't help!"


"Cough cough ...." Leylin coughs weakly, "accurate affirmation! Looks like you've decided to kill me today? I swear not to reveal a word of trouble today! "


"Only the dead will keep a secret!" The leader shouted as he slashed at Leylin, his sword reflecting a snow-white luster.


Leylin dodged in a rather pitiful manner.


The leader's expression became elated, the muscles in his body bulged, but just as he was about to advance, his complexion suddenly changed and he retreated a few steps.


Behind him the soldiers and the young lady fell weakly to the ground. Only their eyes could move. "You really poisoned us!" The leader growled in shock.


"As expected of a Knight, you really do have the strength to hold him back!" Leylin nodded. Although with his strength now he can actually slaughter this crowd, if there are easier methods available, why don't we use them?


The leader threw his long knife and turned around to escape. His speed was actually similar to that of an ordinary human.


“Under toxic conditions, but still have this speed. It's kind of incredible. "Leylin judged indifferently.


He raised an arrow, "A. I'm Chip! Calculate wind speed and humidity! Adjust trajectory! "


* Xiu! * Black lines pierced the Knight's chest. When he saw the arrow that entered from his back and came out from his chest carrying blood with him, it fell down with an expression of disbelief.


Leylin walked over to where the young lady was and towered above her. He stared down then threw the contents of the powder pouch into his mouth. A moment later, the young lady stood up and stretched her limbs.


"You are ...... Magus?" The young lady looked at Leylin as her eyes filled with curiosity.


"No! Only Master Potions. Move them all here and take care of them! "Leylin pointed to the soldier who fell on the ground.


"Why didn't you do it?" The young lady pursed her lips, but she still shifted the crippled soldiers. He even moved the leader of the Knights and the corpse of that big fellow as well.


After which, the young lady's eyes shone coldly. He took out a dagger from his robe and stabbed all these crippled soldiers to death.


Throughout the entire process, Leylin watched coldly, as the young woman stabbed her pursuer to death.


"You really are a Magus!" The young lady said confidently.


"As long as you help me with my revenge, I will hand over all my precious possessions to you. This includes the Magus' legacy. And I will be yours too! "


The girl said while taking off her robe.


"Are you sure that there is a Magus legacy in your family?" Leylin was rather amused when he asked.


"I swear on my family's honor!" The young lady's expression was extremely loyal.


[Scanning in process! The target blood flow increases rapidly. Unusual brain wave activity detected. Conclusion: Lies – 93. 3%]


See the conclusion of A. I'm Chip, Leylin shook his head.


"Why don't you go!"


"What?" The young lady was clearly shocked, "You don't like me? I have a lot of valuables in my family, You can have anything you like .... ”.


"Maybe you have read too many stories about knights in armor?" Leylin interrupted his speech.


"In the dense forest, an adventurer happened to find a princess who ran away, and even helped her get revenge. After overcoming a series of misfortunes. They won over their enemies. The adventurer acquires the princess's treasure, love and admiration. From then on, they lived happily ever after! ”


Leylin read it in a poetic way, like a poet.


“It was just an empty illusion, full of false promises. At most, I will get your body and flesh then I should help you take revenge against the Viscount who had the support of a large faction. Do I look like an idiot to you? ”


"But ...." The young lady was clearly still struggling.


"Go!" Leylin yelled.


The young lady woke up helplessly. An evil and poisonous look flashed across his eyes, as he prepared to leave.


"Wait!" After the young lady walked a few steps, Leylin's voice sounded.


"Wait!" After the young lady walked a few steps, Leylin's voice sounded.


The young lady, looking elated, turned around.


* Xiu! * The arrow pierced through the young lady's pretty face, and pinned it to the tree right behind her.


"Actually I can let you go, but I see evil intentions and rampage in your eyes!" Leylin slowly sighed. "For someone who always protects and follows you, you don't even bother burying the body before leaving. From this it can be seen that you are an ungrateful person. ”


"In addition, in order to take revenge, you contemplated some kind of retaliation against me. You will definitely announce this matter today to everyone. Although I am not afraid of problems, I hate such inconveniences so much .... ”.


"With these many reasons, why would I still let you go?"


From his bag he pulled out a yellow-colored herb, and poured it into the corpse wound. * sssii! Immediately, the corpse was piled into a puddle of yellow viscous liquid.


Leylin did the same for the rest of the corpses, destroying them completely.


Moments later, the area around the camp, only a puddle of yellow water remained. The big man, the young lady and the pursuing army, all of them, had disappeared without a trace.


This potion that can rot the corpse, and the powder paralysis – all is the discovery of Leylin, done when he is bored. Although they did not have much effect on Magus, or even an acolyte, it was still very effective against normal humans.


“Currently, the most important thing is to get enough ingredients to treat my wounds. Anything else would just be troublesome! ”


Leylin sighed, "How futile is a newly established camp. ”


Leylin packed his things once more, and erased the sign of his whereabouts, before disappearing into the forest.


……


At night, on the edge of a dense forest.


A figure, who was fully wearing a black robe and even wearing a conical bamboo hat to hide his face, appeared.


"Lost Forest, it's here!" Leylin took in his surroundings and compared it again to his map. Without turning around, he entered the darkness.


Her leather shoes stepped on a dry twig, which gave off a sound *Chi- *. In the darkness, it sounded even more terrifying than usual.


Her leather shoes stepped on a dry twig, which gave off a sound *Chi- *. In the darkness, it sounded even more terrifying than usual.


"A . I'm Chip, do an area scan! ”


[Beep! Little field of illusion found! Field Effect: An ordinary human who enters will be confused, walk around in circles, and eventually leave unknowingly. ]


“Indeed, no wonder there are tales of ghosts and demons here. There is often news of lost people. “Although they are under an illusion, if Magus meets an unsuspecting victim, they will not mind taking another sample for their experiment.


"Hello! Acolytes! Welcome to Magus Market! "


A black figure jumped lightly from the top of the tree and landed on the broken tomb. His eyes glittered with a dark green light.


Leylin walked closer, and discovered it was a black cat.


“Friends Magus? Modulated organisms? Or the spell? "Leylin thought to himself. He then bowed a little.


"I am a wandering missionary who hears that the market here is open to every Magus, is that true?"


“Indeed, this market is governed by the mighty Walker Family. Moreover, it promises that every incoming Magus will be guaranteed its safety and protection. Of course, it was only within the confines of the market! ”Black cats lick their paws while releasing a human-like vexation.


"Then I want to go in!"


“All her aides must pay 1 Magic Crystal! It's free for all Magi! ”


"Here!" Leylin nodded, and cast a low-level Magic Crystal.


The black cat caught it in its mouth, turned around and while jumping away from the tombstone, it made a gesture of calling Leylin.


Leylin shrugged and followed him.


The further inside, the more dense the white fog became. However there was a road under their feet that seemed to have been specially built before.


"We're here!" Along with the sound of a black cat, the fog in front disappeared and a boisterous rumbling sound rang out. This made Leylin feel like he had returned to his academy's Trade Area.


The only difference was that the people here were all tightly wrapped in gray robes or robes, completely not revealing their skin at all.


Sometimes, some did not bother to hide their identities, which made Leylin expand his horizons.


Here there were some Sea species that had scales on them, and Half Beastmen that had feathers on their necks. They were different from Beastmen, as they were rather affectionate and affectionate species. There the Magi could also be produced, and Leylin even saw a Magus with an owl head.

Here there were some Sea species that had scales on them, and Half Beastmen that had feathers on their necks. They were different from Beastmen, as they were rather affectionate and affectionate species. There the Magi could also be produced, and Leylin even saw a Magus with an owl head.


A large number of these people also emitted waves of his auxiliary energy, but Leylin felt that their aura smelled of blood.


“Although the helpers in the outside world did not have a solid foundation compared to the academies, they were able to advance in an environment where resources were scarce. Their experience should be plentiful, and they might even be more adept at fighting! "Leylin's heart sank.


The potion in his hand was almost consumed, and he was currently the most powerful amongst Level 2 Acolytes, which possessed barely enough strength for self-defense. If he were to reveal the potion he was carrying, his maid would swarm around him like a crocodile and tear him apart.


Lowering his head, he discovered that the black cat had disappeared completely.


"Master! Do you need a guide? I only asked for 1 Magic Crystal! ”A rather skinny little boy ran over.


He had waves of energy from a Level 1 Acolyte coming from his body.Although his face was extremely thin, his eyes were extremely lively.


"Take me around to look around!"


"All right!" The boy was overjoyed as he hurriedly ran in front of Leylin to lead the way.


“This market is under the protection of the Walker Family, a family well received by its wandering aides as well as the Magi. Look over there, the wooden hut in the middle is a shop that was personally set up by the Walker Family.


The boy tried his best to fulfill his duty as a guide.


"So this is someone else's shop?" Leylin pointed at his aides who were displaying their belongings on the floor. Their items were much better than the ones in the academy, and of course, more of them were fake as well.


"Yes, you just need to complete the procedure in the middle hall, pay the fee, and then you will be able to obtain a place to set up your stall!" The little boy nodded, "Sir, is there something you want to sell? The Walker Family also provides delivery services. ”


“I'm not in a hurry now. Take me to the middle ground for a walk! "Said Leylin.


In this Magus Market, he found several official Magi with active defensive force fields around him. This was an existence that he could not fight at the moment, so he was more cautious than usual.


"This is a workshop! He specializes in selling weapons! Next to it, with a sign that has a test tube on it, is a Potioneering store. On the far left is the auction house. From time to time, they have some premium stuff! ”That little boy is very familiar with this place.


“Auction house? Then will they have any information about Magic Artifacts? "Leylin casually asked. He's a little more interested now.


Chapter 49


Recuperation


"Magic Artifacts?"


The boy shook his head, “That's a very valuable item! Last year the auction only sold one low-level Magic Artifact. There are even Magi present officially who joined the offer ..... ”.


“So like this. Take me to the gun shop! ”


Leylin followed the boy to where the blacksmith was.


"Hey! Big Bearded Old Man, I brought you some business! ”As soon as the boy entered the workshop, he started shouting loudly.


"I'll be there!" The shop owner did have a thick and bushy beard. He was not tall, but the muscles in his arms were extremely hard and gave off an impression of strength.


“Greetings, honored guest! I am the owner of this workshop, please call me Black Hammer! ”The shopkeeper introduced himself.


"I need a cross knife!" Leylin spoke of his intentions. Previously, he had smashed his sword while fighting the mutated Green Tree Sprite. He now wants better quality, something that is not easy to get.


"Cross knife yeah, follow me. "Black Hammer opened the wine scroll hanging on his waist and took a sip. The smell of alcohol.


"Oh! Didn't I tell you to cut down on your drinking? ”The little boy frowned when he pinched his nose.


"Hiccup .... Edgar, you are still a child and cannot appreciate the absolute happiness of tasting good wine!" Black Hammer shook his head and brought Leylin onto the wooden shelf.


"My finished blade puppeteers are all here. Please select. Of course, if it is not satisfactory, you can have one custom made, for the price .... ”.


When he talked about price, Black Hammer's words were very clear. He doesn't even look a little drunk.


Leylin casually observed the cross blade on the wooden shelf. These knives had clearly gone through the rigors of war. Their silver surface emitted a bloodthirsty aura.


Leylin casually took it. It had a complicated yet sturdy feeling that tickled his palm which felt rather heavy.


“Smooth forged steel knife. There were even metal stars smelted into it. The base is wrapped in black silk, to prevent it from falling into one's hands ... ”Black Hammer explains the item.


Leylin nodded and placed the cross blade back on the yellow wooden shelf, then picked up another one.


The outside of this crossbar is a bit dark. It gave off a solid aura that was reliable.


"Snakes made of alloy. It's been modified before. Able to resist corrosion and fire! "


"Oh?" Leylin was slightly moved, "Can it fend off the Magus spell?"


"Of course not!" Black Hammer shook his head immediately. “To withstand the spell, at least there must be rune writing on the sword blade. Moreover, it had to be combined using the precious ingredients of an Alchemist. Such a bar is already considered a Magic Artifact, and will not be displayed in the open like this for sale ..


"My apologies, I'm too greedy!" Leylin shook his head.


Take the black blade, "I want this, and prepare another 20 arrow bolts for me …"


"Alright, the price ..." Black Hammer's eyes shone. He didn't bother drinking his wine anymore.


As Leylin and the boy walked out of the weapon shop, Leylin hung the cross blade from his waist, at the same time he took out the Magic Crystal and threw it at the little boy.


“This is your reward for today! I want to walk alone now! "


"Good! Have a nice day! ”The little boy was very happy and put away the Magic Crystal before running.


Leylin stood glued to the spot until the little boy was no longer in sight. Only then did he return to the stalls he had first entered, where the items were lying on the ground.


After browsing for a while, Leylin visited every wooden shop found in the central area. That was when Leylin walked into the store with the test tube sign.


"Sir, how can I help you?" Speaking of a young male staff wearing fashionable western style suits.


Leylin looked at the potion on the shelf. This sparkling herb exudes a variety of colors. Transparent glass tables also feature a variety of valuable materials.


"It looks like this store stuff is a little better than fatty Woox!" Leylin nodded in agreement.


"I'm going to need flamingo feathers, multi-tailed owl eyeballs, feathers from Human Head Birds, Pink Ink Oil, Green Coconut Stone …"


"I'm going to need flamingo feathers, multi-tailed owl eyeballs, feathers from Human Head Birds, Pink Ink Oil, Green Coconut Stone …"


Leylin hurriedly registered his items. These were all ingredients needed to treat his injuries, to make explosive potions and formulate other basic herbs.


The staff quietly listened until Leylin finished speaking before bowing and saying, "My apology, but may I ask if you are a Potion Master?"


"I have a little knowledge in the field!" Leylin's facial features were hidden by the hood of his robe. Thus, the staff could not see his expression.


“Our Walker family wholeheartedly invites you to join our family. The requirements we offer are the best among the Magi family of the same rank.... ”Staff bends deeper.


Leylin did expect this a little. Master Potioneering is a difficult breed to maintain. Plus, the Magi could not do without potions so the Magi Family always tried to recruit them by offering great wages.


He would definitely not be able to hide his identity as a Potion Master if he bought raw materials. However, as long as no one discovered his talent, he was not afraid to let them know. After all, as long as he was not caught, the others would not know whether the person standing in front of them was a Potion Master or an aide.


“I'll consider this. Do you have the ingredients I mentioned earlier? '' Leylin said in a hoarse voice.


“We have 2 flamingo feathers. As for the eyeballs from the multi-tailed owl, we still have a pair left. However, it has been around for 3 years, so some of its medicinal properties have been slightly damaged. As for the feathers of the Bird of the Human Head, Pink Ink Oil, Green Coconut Stone, we have them here, too.


The staff seemed to recall every item in the store from memory and say it all.


Leylin nodded. The Magus' main cultivation was Spiritual Strength. Once advanced, their brains would also develop. Hence, all Magi were intelligent people. As for Leylin's conjecture, when the Magi had advanced to a higher world, their brains would even be comparable to A's processing ability. I'm Chip.


"I want them all, name your prices!" Leylin nodded.


"The total reached 157 Magic Crystals!" Smiling staff.


Leylin nodded and took out a small box, which he had prepared beforehand, from his robe. After it opened, one could see that it was dense with cyan-colored herbs.


"Look, this is all a potion of strength!" Leylin took out a potion of strength and placed it in front of the front of the staff.


The strength potion was one of the basic herbs. In fact, most Potioneering asolites choose to brew it first. After seeing this, the staff became obviously disappointed.


But he quickly recovered his composure and began to check.


"30 Power Potions, I can give you 130 Magic Crystals for them" the staff said.


"30 Power Potions, I can give you 130 Magic Crystals for them" the staff said.


Leylin agreed secretly. If he sold this at Woox's, he would get 120 Magic Crystals at most. The price outside is higher, but it is also more dangerous.


"okay!" Leylin counted 27 other Magic Crystals and handed them over to the staff.


"Bring me the materials I ordered!"


"Okay, give me a minute!" The staff stored the potions and Magic Crystals before quickly running to the back.


Leylin waited for what looked like a dozen minutes before the staff returned with a small wooden crate, which was placed in front of Leylin.


"This is the item you requested, please check them!"


Leylin opened the small wooden crate. It was boxed using wooden trays, where various materials were placed on them. There were colorful feathers, green colored stones, and various colored powders.


Leylin's finger traced a variety of materials, "A. I'm Chip! Checking in……"


After a. I Chip showed that all the materials are up to standard, only then did Leylin keep the wooden crate. He then got up to leave the Potion Shop.


"What I'm selling is just the most basic Potion of Strength, and to gather this already complicated material. Even I can't guess the full use of these ingredients. They certainly won't be able to do it either. ”


Leylin hid the small wooden crate under his robe and circled around a few times before slowly leaving the market.


“The most important thing is, my trade only costs about 100 Magic Crystals. If the Walker Family were stirred up because of this paltry amount, then their reputation would long be bad! ”


On the way, he increased the A. I Maximum chip detection area. Only after confirming that no one had followed him did Leylin leave the Lost Forest.


Since the previous incident, Leylin moved camp. He is currently sheltering in a cave. As for the previous owner, the Black Bear, it had long been Leylin's dinner.


* Bang! *


Leylin stacked several large boxes together to form a simple experiment table. Then, he placed his apparatus on it.


"I will finally get rid of this damned pathogen!" Leylin gritted his teeth, "Every day I have to burn this wound. With the limitations of my Vitality and Strength, I have had enough! ”


Leylin stacked several large boxes together to form a simple experiment table. Then, he placed his apparatus on it.


"I will finally get rid of this damned pathogen!" Leylin gritted his teeth, "Every day I have to burn this wound. With the limitations of my Vitality and Strength, I have had enough! ”


Leylin took out a green colored stone with a leaf shape on its surface.


This was Green Coconut Rock, a half-mineral commodity half a rare plant.


Destroying the Green Coconut Rock, Leylin took out Pink Ink Oil and heated it. When it started to bubble up, he added the grounding Green Coconut Rock powder.


* sssii! * When Green Coconut Rock powder is poured into Pink Ink Oil, the hissing sound is sounded.


Pink Ink Oil turned green for a moment. It gives off a strange, fragrant smell.


[The potion was successfully brewed!] After hearing A. I Confirm Chip, Leylin nodded slightly.


He took off all his clothes. All sorts of burns and scars could be seen littering his body. His shoulders and stomach each had extremely terrifying scars with tufts of hair growing around them.


"Qiesiter – Lesions!" Leylin muttered a spell.


The green-colored herb in the test tube immediately boiled, and continued to evaporate, making the smell in the air more concentrated.


* sssii! * as if it had been given its own life, the hair around Leylin's wound began to climb up and wiggle their way into the test tube.


"Wu!" Leylin gritted his teeth and allowed these hairs to make their way out at will.


A dozen minutes later, Leylin's wound no longer had any black hair around it. As for the test tube, it turned into a hairball.


Leylin's expression remained apathetic as he wiped away his cold sweat. He lit a feather in the fire and threw it into a hairball.


"Huu huu……"


Green flames rose and mimicked the sound of a woman's cry, which was somewhat similar to Doris's.


Many strands of hair tried to escape, but they were trapped by Leylin in a ball of milky white substance. They had no choice but to burn.


Chapter 50


Ellinel Market


After the green flames died down, all that was left behind was a pile of white dust.


Leylin's expression was very serious as he lightly smeared dust. * Hu! * Dust swirling in the air, turning into a woman's face, “Enemy! The enemy!"


"This pathogen contains the poison of the aggrieved soul, no wonder it is so powerful!" Leylin shook his head, took out a green-colored potion, and splashed it into the woman's face.


* sssii! * Human faces quickly turned into a white mist, disappearing completely into thin air.


"A . I'm Chip, do a scan! ”Leylin Government.


[Beep! Scanning complete. Result: The pathogen in the Host's body has been completely eradicated!]


Heard the letter A. I am Chip, Leylin's face finally revealed his relief.


He stretched his body lazily and touched the scar on his body, “Agot unsightly! If Neela saw this, what would her expression look like? ”


After rummaging through the huge chest, he found a potion and downed it.


A dozen minutes later, the superficial layer of Leylin's skin trembled and forced layers of scar and dead skin to replace it with more shiny skin.


"After I get rid of the pathogen, healing the scars on my skin is just a matter of a few potions!"


Leylin touched on the deeply fading scar now, "I estimate that after one more dose, this will completely disappear!"


Leylin then took out the rest of the poor black bear's legs and rewarded himself with a good meal.


While eating and drinking until he was full, the sky outside was already dim. Leylin lit a small fire inside the cave and began to think of the journey ahead.


“Doris finally dumped. There are no pursuers left so I can calm down while traveling! "


“The academy mission is not very important. Anyway, I have 3 years to finish it. I wonder how the current state of the academy is? ”Although Leylin could inquire about the news about the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy on the market right now, he did not dare.


Who knows if there are spies around. If he opened his identity, wouldn't it be like walking into a trap?


He could only wait until he traveled through half the kingdom before he could safely begin to ask.


Such a big matter would definitely be a hot topic in Magi collecting points. He just had to be careful not to reveal any information about himself.


"All of this can be dealt with later, the important thing is to hurry up and turn all the potions into Magic Crystals. It's too much trouble to carry all these big crates everywhere! ”


Leylin patted the sturdy hardwood chest. He thought of the pitiful brown horse a few days ago that seemed like it would die at any moment. He smiled bitterly.


“I can't go to the Walker Family market anymore. After all, I just sold a number of potions there! ”


Leylin mentally summoned the map and found his current position.


“From the academy to Eastwoods Province, I have to travel through 5 other provinces. I can sell potions along the way. At most, I can only sell potions up to Jersha Province.


On the map, Jersha Province is in the middle of its destination. There are two more provinces that separate Eastwoods Province from it.


If he were to sell his herbs all the way to the Eastwoods Province, wouldn't that mean handing over his travel plans and destination? Leylin wouldn't be that stupid to do that.


Even though he was selling his goods along the way, others might not be able to find him. After all, the trades made every day were numerous. Leylin, however, preferred to be a little more cautious in keeping his tracks.


As for Jersha Province, it was in the central region of the Poolfield Kingdom and was accessible from all sides. Others would not be able to guess Leylin's purpose at all.


"Ein!" Anyway, there's still time. If necessary, I can reroute to a further location. In any case, I should be careful not to reveal my identity! "


Leylin looked at the marked points as the Magi who gathered places and entered into deep thought ……


Two strange months passed.


On the trail to Jersha Province, a sturdy black horse carrying a wooden crate and a black-robed man could be seen speeding by.


On the trail to Jersha Province, a sturdy black horse carrying a wooden crate and a black-robed man could be seen speeding by.


The black-robed man had bright red hair, and was extremely handsome.


This was naturally Leylin in disguise.


From then on, when Leylin traveled, he found some Magi collecting points or small-scale trading sites from time to time, where he sold the potions he made.


Since he only sold a few times, he did not attract the greed of other experts. Sometimes, some stupid helpers who were blinded by greed would get in the way, but they were by no means his opponent. The most dangerous example was when Level 3 Acolyte brought a group of his aides to surround him. Still, Leylin managed to evade them with the help of the A. I Chip detection capability.


Through this trade, he obtained some valuable materials, and many books on the knowledge of the special Magi, greatly improving the A data bank. I'm Chip.


In these past two months, he had finally recorded all of the Shadow and Dark Element spell models he had bought before. He then completely obliterated the contents of the book.


It lightens the innards.


After selling most of his potions and getting rid of those huge spell books, Leylin could put all of his belongings into one crate.


According to his projection, he could travel with a backpack after selling the remaining potions.


“I have underestimated the popularity of the herb. Currently, I have collected over 2,000 Magic Crystals. If not for purchasing the miscellaneous information and items, I might have already obtained over 2500 Magic Crystals! ”


Leylin reached out and felt his robe. A sack of hard texture crept into his hand. He couldn't help but smile.


“Fortunately, there are high-grade Magic Crystals in this Magus World. One piece can be exchanged for 100 ordinary Magic Crystals. Otherwise, I will have problems bringing all those Magic Crystals .... ”.


"A . I'm Chip, stat update! "Leylin ordered.


[Beep! Leylin Farlier, Level 2 Acolyte and Knight. Power: 2. 7, Agility: 2. 8, Vitality: 3. 0, Spiritual Strength: 4. 6, Magic Power: 4. 0. Status: Healthy] A. My Voice Chip sounded.


"En! Strength and Agility increased. This is the result of the continuous stimulation of my internal Knight energy. Once it stabilizes, I can begin to gradually take on the next phase of Knight training. This should raise all my stats to at least 3! As for Spiritual Strength, it had only increased slightly. This was the only return I got after a number of life and death situations. Magus training, as expected, will only get harder! ”


Leylin sighed and mentally projected the map again.


Leylin sighed and mentally projected the map again.


On a large map, Jersha Province was in the central region of the Poolfield Kingdom. There are many small Magus families here.


Although this was the capital of an ordinary human kingdom, it attracted all kinds of travelers, many wandering Magi, and even criminal Magi.


These Magi, because of their radical opinions, or other problems, were exiled from their previous association, faced with persecution, or even included in the list of gifts. They turn into wandering Magi, often making them very dangerous people.


“In Jersha Province, there happens to be an enormous Magus market controlled by the Redbud Family, one of the three great families supporting the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. I will definitely get the latest news here! "


In these past two months, Leylin had secretly made inquiries about various news related to the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. However, the information he got was a bit vague. He only knew that it was at war with some factions in the west. As for his opponents, and how the academy fared, everything was extremely blurry.


"We're here, Ellinel Market. I'll sell the remaining potions and ask about the academy's news before continuing on. ”


Leylin.


……


In a small pier of a ruined village.


"If it wasn't for the intelligence reports, I would have never believed that the first Magus market in the Poolfield Kingdom would actually be hidden under an ordinary human village".


As Leylin scanned the village surroundings, a lifeless atmosphere greeted him.


“The Magus Market should be below here because there are occasional signs of radiation. The villagers above were also sickly, where some might even die suddenly. How can they grow? I fear that after a dozen years, this village will become another ghost town! ”


Leylin adjusted the gray robe on his body and covered his facial features, before coming to the entrance of the cottage made of bricks.


The broken door let out a dull sound as Leylin lightly knocked.


"Who are you?" A cold voice sounded from within.


"I'm a wandering missionary, who wants to see the market!"


* Creaking! * A large door opened and revealed a black-robed figure.


"I'm a wandering missionary, who wants to see the market!"


* Creaking! * A large door opened and revealed a black-robed figure.


Leylin was startled; he felt killing intent coming out from the black-robed figure. This might be a very vague concept but if one killed too many of its kind, they would definitely be different from the others. The feeling that this black-robed figure gave Leylin was that many experts of the same level died in his hands.


"As expected of a large market, even the guards were so fierce!" The black-robed figure emitted waves of energy from Acolyte Level 3. He even brought a disposable magic item. It cannot escape from A. My Chip detection.


“It doesn't matter if this is your first time or not, I will mention the rules. Any fights within the market would be considered a provocation by the Redbud Family. "The black-robed figure said coldly.


Only then did Leylin notice the Redbud badge on his sleeve.


"I understand!" Leylin nodded.


"Alright, the cost is 1 Magic Crystal!"


After Leylin paid the entrance fee, the black-robed figure knocked lightly on the fireplace, and the steel machine rumbled. The fireplace swinging to the right shows the stairs descending down.


"Even his style was reminiscent of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy!" Leylin shook his head.


After entering the tunnel, the fireplace swung shut, and the hallway dimmed once again with only a few dim lights lit up in the depths.


Leylin down the stairs. After he felt he had gone a dozen meters underground, a huge cave appeared.


The market is huge. It was the size of some football fields. The ceiling was filled with a kind of stalactite that made Leylin wonder if it was natural.


In the middle of the market, buildings built using gray stone lined up. Around them was a circle of wooden huts. As for street stalls, they are actually rather rare.


Magi and her aides wore robes of various colors; white, black, and gray-robed people could be seen going in and out of the shop.


Leylin began to understand the rules of the Magus World a little better.


Normally, the official Magi would wear black or white, and the maid would wear gray. White represents those factions that love peace more, for example, the art of healing and the like. As for the black robes, they were more inclined towards the battle, and their disposition was a bit strange as well.


Of course, this is conventional clothing. There were also some Magi who wore various strange costumes that were a bit strange.
