Chapter 3: A Strange World
......
Ten days later, Thundercloud arrived at Grand City.
Along the way, he didn't meet anyone else, maybe the few who were left had fled, maybe they had become food for the giant scorpion. Who knows?
Grand City is a city in the north of the Holy Light Empire, and although it is very remote, it is very prosperous. The streets are full of pedestrians coming and going, and the floors are supplemented by bluestone slabs, and everything here is very clean and tidy.
Thundercloud hugged a bamboo, looking at this strange world in amazement, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well, many things he had never seen before.
He wanted to find a job, so he came to the Magic Society in Grand City......
Pushing the door in, I found that it was very lively inside. The people here are exceptionally well-dressed and well-equipped, which is by no means comparable to the simple magicians of the Cloud Country.
Thundercloud looked at everything around curiously, and someone on the left was discussing: "Have you heard? The reward for this task is as high as two hundred silver coins, but unfortunately we don't have a holy magician in Grand City, so we have to ask someone from the imperial capital to help. ”
"It's going to take two months, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"
"Who's to say it's not, by the time the people from the Imperial Capital come, I'm afraid Iden Mountain Villa will be in ruins. ”
Leiyun's eyes lit up, and this task didn't seem to be difficult, so he walked over.
"Excuse me, where should I go for this assignment?"
The two guys were visibly stunned: "Young man, are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding. ”
"I'm telling you, this job is only acceptable to a mage with more than silver, so you better go to the north wall and find a low-level task to do. ”
"I am the Silver Mage. ”
"Don't be funny!"
They looked at Thundercloud and found that he was at most sixteen years old, and that his clothes were in tatters, like a beggar.
The man on the left laughed: "Young man, do you think that the silver magician is a cabbage on the side of the road, and it is a handful of them when you grab them?"
Thunderclouds were speechless for a while. He found that these two guys both had a bronze magic micro-badge hanging on their chests, one was a bronze four-star level, and the other was a two-star rookie. No wonder they reacted so strongly.
After looking around again, I noticed that most of the people in this hall were bronze magicians. Occasionally, I saw a few guys wearing silver badges, and they all exuded a "dazzling" light, and ordinary people did not dare to approach at all.
, it turns out that the silver magician is so gripping?
Thundercloud immediately felt that his future was bright.
He ignored the two guys and went straight to the north under a wall.
When I looked up, I saw a huge taskbar on it......
It is plastered with various work commissions. Depending on the degree of danger, these jobs can be classified from one star to nine stars, and they pay not the same. For example, the mission of Eden Hill to slay demons is a five-star dangerous task, and the person who accepts the mission must be at the level of a silver mage. The reward was two hundred ducats.
There is also the task of slaying the dragon, the danger level is S, and it requires the level of a golden mage, and the reward is actually 200,000 silver coins. This seems like a difficult task.
Of course, there are also simple tasks, such as delivering letters, which are only one star dangerous, and can be accepted as long as you are a magician, but the pay is very low, only fifty copper coins.
Lei Yun squeezed to the counter: "Little sister, I want to accept the mission of exorcism from Aiden Villa." ”
The girl behind the counter glanced at him, "Please take out your magic badge." ”
"Do you have to be a magic badge?"
"Yes, you must be at this level before you can accept these tasks. ”
Thundercloud was depressed for a while, and his badge was confiscated by the temple, what can I do?
He didn't want to give up, so he could only lie: "I ...... My badge is off. ”
"Are you bored? I warn you, don't bother me again, I'm busy!"
Lei Yun was depressed for a while, this girl was obviously so cute, but she didn't expect to be so fierce.
Thundercloud looked around and saw that everyone had taken out their own magic badges, this thing seemed to be very important!
He finally understood why the Temple of the Clouds was confiscating his badges, and these guys were trying to drive themselves to a dead end.
Not only that, but there is a huge trap in front of you!
The Cloud Nation and the Holy Light Empire have always been at odds with each other, and if you apply for the magic badge of this realm, you will likely be arrested as a spy.
His identity is too special! The Oracle Project was established to fight against the Holy Light Empire.
I came here by myself, and if my identity was discovered, it would be like death. My own experience has become a fatal flaw......
Thundercloud sat down in the corner and thought to himself, what should he do?
Now penniless, if you want to survive, you have to find a job.
He looked around and saw that there were many expeditions recruiting people in this lively environment.
Someone shouted in the distance, "We still lack an earth magician, is anyone interested?"
Thundercloud immediately squeezed over: "I, I want to sign up!"
"Show me your magic badge and I'll register it for you!"
"Drop, drop!"
"Fuck off, don't join in the fun. ”
He tried several more places, but they all ended in failure.
Looking back, when others are looking for teammates, they certainly want the higher the level of the other party, the better. No one wants to risk their lives......
Someone discovered his existence and said with a smile: "What's the matter with this little guy? He is quite bold, one moment to interview earth magicians, and another time to interview wind magicians, does he think he is omnipotent?"
"There is always a group of people in this world who think that as long as they follow others, they can live a mixed life. ”
"You seem to be one of those people, don't you?"
"So I sympathize with him. ”
"Hahaha, you really can!"
Thunderclouds had black lines on his face, and his ears were full of mocking voices.
He wanted to tell them that he was indeed proficient in the magic of the five elements, but they wouldn't believe it.
If you show it, it will attract the attention of others. In this strange country, you must keep a low profile.
Just as he was depressed, someone in the distance was talking: "I heard that the crusade party of Grand City has returned, and they were besieged by countless giant scorpions in Death Canyon, and they were almost wiped out. Finally, a wandering mage passed by and used a meteor shower to scare all the giant scorpions away, and now the crusade team is looking for the wandering mage. ”
"Wandering magicians again? These legends have been passed down for hundreds of years, but unfortunately no one has actually seen them. ”
"This time it seems to be true, someone is willing to take out fifty gold coins and look for the magician who can shoot meteor showers. ”
Thundercloud's eyes lit up, are these people talking about themselves?
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was a trap.
But the fifty gold coins were too tempting, and Thundercloud squeezed over: "I want to ask, what are they looking for that meteor shower magician?"
"I don't know, maybe they want to learn this advanced magic in order to deal with the giant scorpion. Why do you ask this?"
Thundercloud thought for a moment and said, "I'm from Death Canyon, and I can also use the magic of meteor showers, so the person they might be looking for is me." ”
"Don't be funny!"
"You little beggar is interesting, I think you should go to the circus and get a job. ”
"I'm really going to shoot meteor showers!"
"Okay, you show it to us. ”
The thunderclouds were silent for a while, and this was another fucking big hole.
If you really use this magic, not to mention that this street will be destroyed by your own magic, others will definitely ask about your origin after seeing your ability......
This is sending you to death!
I'm thinking about how to get these fifty gold coins.
Suddenly, a few big men came over next to him, they put Xiao Lei up, and said, "This is the Magic Association, those who don't have magic badges are invited out." ”
Thundercloud struggled desperately, "Wait a minute, I'm really a magician." Not only can I shoot meteor showers, I can also do divine magic, and I can take on the mission of exorcism at Eden Hills. ”
"Okay, okay, you go outside and dream. ”
"The current beggar is so bold that he dares to come to the Magic Association when he dresses like this?"
