The weather was sunny. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sunlight streams down from the clear blue sky and passes through the dense woods, casting countless shadows of tall and short, slender and stout trees in the meadows.

Although it was still late spring and the sun had only risen for two hours, a faint scorching smell had already permeated every corner of the air, and the morning dew had long since evaporated, and even the chirping of birds seemed so weak.

Occasionally, a cool breeze blew through the forest, the leaves rustled pleasantly in the wind, the green grass swayed in the wind, and the shadows on the grass began to sway from side to side as if they came to life in an instant, and the whole forest suddenly became vibrant.

"Click!" With a crisp sound of branches snapping, a pair of tattered cloth shoes stepped out of the low bushes and stepped heavily on the turquoise grass. "I should have come in a pair of thicker shoes." Leo reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his face, his eyes naturally focused on the cuffs that would cover his shoulder blades.

His arms are very black and white with the cuffs as the boundary, and the skin covered by the short sleeves is very fair, but the exposed parts are unusually dark.

Leo lowered his arm and sighed slightly, a helpless look on his young face: "Maybe you should also wear a long-sleeved magic apprentice suit." Like his arms, Leo's face had also been blackened by the sun during the road that was definitely not comfortable in the past few days, and the feeling of a tiny white face had disappeared, and the whole person's temperament seemed to be much more resolute and mature.

The sun slowly moved towards the center of the sky, and the elongated shadows on the grass began to slowly become shorter, and the leaves hung limply on the branches, accompanied by a knowing chirp, and the hot breath in the air became thicker and thicker.

Leo couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his chapped lips, reached out and picked up the kettle hanging on his waist and shook it slightly, perhaps because there was not much water in it, after hesitating for a while, he still put the kettle back on his waist: "Drink it when you find the next water source." ”

He took out a very rudimentary map from his pocket, looked at it for a while, put his palm on his brow, looked up at the direction of the sun, and then determined his next course of action: "The wild cow grass should be near the foot of the mountain range in front of him. So he took a step, with some difficulty, and made a firm step in the dense forest of trees, grass, and shrubs.

Although he appears to be several years older than his actual age, Leo had just celebrated his nineteenth birthday three months ago, having been born and raised in Pleona City, the capital of Navarra County in the northeastern part of the Spanne Empire, where his parents ran a small bookstore, but both died of malaria when Leo was four years old. Raised by his own uncle, Leo was found to have a talent for magical affinities at the age of ten, and he was naturally accepted into the Prona Academy of Magic, where he became one of hundreds of magical apprentices.

Unfortunately, after eight years of studying at the Academy of Magic, the eighteen-year-old Leo still couldn't successfully perform even the lowest level of magic, and he couldn't officially become a real magician. Judging from the "Mojik's Law", which is regarded as the supreme truth by the major magic schools on the mainland, if a person cannot enter the ranks of formal magicians before the age of eighteen, then no matter how talented he is, he is destined to have no chance with magic in this life.

In other words, eighteen-year-old Leo has completely lost the opportunity to become a true magician.

It is a well-known fact that any real magician is recognized as a member of the nobility in any country, so the vast majority of magicians have more or less the temper of the nobles, and the particularity of the magician profession makes it impossible for them to let people who know nothing about magic serve them and fight them, which gives magic apprentices like Leo who have no hope of becoming a full-fledged magician for life a way out to continue to contact the wizarding world - work for the magicians.

Although a first-level magician may need at least five or more magic apprentices, and the more advanced the magician, the more magic apprentices are needed, but fortunately, the number of magic apprentices in the same situation as Leo is not large, and the number of magicians who can be called a rare species is not much, and low-level magicians often do not refuse to work for high-level magicians for one reason or another, so on the whole, the two still reach an overall balance.

Leo is now working for a third-level magician named Bard Tulbe, and unlike other colleagues who focus on the study of magic, although Bard is only a third-level beginner magician, he can be regarded as a well-known figure in the city of Prona, all because of his other identity - magic apothecary, or potions master for short.

The world of magic is endless, and there are hundreds of branches of magicians, and potions are undoubtedly one of the most popular ones, and the potions that come from the hands of potions are not only far superior to ordinary potions, but also often have some very strange and remarkable effects. For example, the herb "Wild Cow Grass" that Leo came to look for this time is one of the main medicines of the potion "Male Bo Pill" concocted by Potions Master Bud.

The potion of male erection pills, as the name suggests, is to enhance men's abilities in that area, so that every man who suffers from this can show his strength in his lover.

Compared with ordinary aphrodisiacs, the advantage of male erection pills is that it does not directly stimulate the man's crotch, but by enhancing and strengthening the whole body to achieve the effect, the side effects of the whole body are very mild, and one dose can last for at least a month.

It is precisely because of these advantages that even if a male erection pill is often sold for a high price of thousands of gold coins, the nobles of Navarra County still flock to this potion like a fly that smells fishy, and some people even say that the reason why several middle-level magicians in Prona City abandoned the strict hierarchical concept of aristocrats among mages and were unusually polite to Bud, a beginner magician who also served as a potion master, was also because of the potion of male erection pills - after all, magicians are also human beings, and people will have that kind of need, just in case it's always right, isn't it?

Although it is said that the male erection pill is very popular, it is not easy to collect the medicinal materials of the male erection pill, especially the wild cow grass, which is one of the main medicines.

Wild Oxgrass usually only grows at the base of Mount Lito, which is a five-day's walk from the city of Purna, and it takes at least two days of walking in the dense forest to reach the base of Mount Lito, which is a chore from any point of view, which is why such an important main medicine is collected by a rookie magic apprentice like Leo, who has just joined Bard's tutelage.

This is the third day of Leo's journey through this dense forest, and although he has not estimated the difficulties in terms of water, food, and clothing, Leo has managed to make it to the point where he has managed to get to the point where he is now, and it will only take half a day at most to reach his destination, the foot of Mount Lito.

"Boom!" With a dull loud noise, the ground under Leo's feet suddenly shook violently, and the trees in the forest shook wildly at the same time, and the birds that had been resting on the branches spread their wings and hurriedly flew into the air, and the frightened cries of the animals filled every corner of the forest, "What's going on?" Leo was shocked and subconsciously hugged a big tree next to him, and he couldn't help but have a fear in his heart.

However, the earthquake-like tremors came and went as fast as they could, and after just a few breaths everything was back to normal, and if it weren't for the leaves that had fallen on his head and shoulders, Leo would have almost thought that everything he had just done was just an illusion.

Before he could react from the sudden earthquake, another loud sound that seemed to tear the heavens and the earth reached Leo's ears, and a ball of light as dazzling as the sun rose from Mount Lito a few miles away.

Like a huge stone suddenly plunging into a calm lake, a powerful shockwave spread out in all directions centered on the place where the ball of light rose, and this shockwave carried a violent wind through the vast dense forest, and countless hundred-year-old trees only supported in front of it for less than a moment before falling down like wheat harvested by a sickle.

The speed of the shock wave was like that of the horse, and the next moment it came to Leo, and the magic apprentice only felt that his eyes suddenly went black, and then his entire body was thrown high by the aftermath, and a brief and involuntary parabolic motion began in the air.

Just as his body was soaring in the air, Leo seemed to hear a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth, although he didn't fully hear it clearly, but from the words that came to his ears, it seemed to say: "His Majesty the Pope will do it for me..."

However, before Leo could finish hearing this, his body fell heavily from several meters in the air in a headfirst position to the ground. So the boy rolled his eyes and fainted cleanly.
