Cutting off the ears of the dead gnolls, the group quickly left the forest and returned to the main road, all the way west.

When passing by the Xiquan Fortress, the three young men did not forget to give their ears to the garrison officer, in exchange for a bounty of one gold coin and twenty silver coins.

Feeling the wonderful sound of the coins clinking in his leather pocket, the young man at the head showed an excited smile on his face, and secretly glanced at Adam, who was walking in front of him, and then Ya asked his companion in a low voice: "Mia, George, what do you think this venerable mage is going to do at the beach?"

"I don't know, anyway, as long as we don't violate the laws of the Stormwind Kingdom, this gentleman will do whatever we want. The boy known as George shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"I think this Mr. Mage is just trying to show us the way. I'm sure you've seen it too, so many terrible gnolls, he killed them all with just one finger, and this terrible magical power doesn't need our protection at all, doesn't it?" Mia, the only girl in the group, whispered her opinion.

"Makes sense! We're just a bunch of insignificant little people anyway, and no matter what this Master Mage teaches us in the end, we won't suffer. What's more, he also gave us a precious alchemy potion, which made the wound disappear in an instant. As he spoke, the young man touched his arm, which was bleeding not long ago.

By now, the wound had long since healed, leaving only a red mark.

"The power of magic...... It would be nice if I could become a mage, even the lowest apprentice. George looked at Adam who was walking in front with envious eyes.

Although he was only the son of a poor farmer, his heart was full of dreams and expectations for the future, otherwise he would not have risked his life to leave home and his loved ones and embark on a dangerous adventure.

In contrast, Mia was much more realistic, smiling wryly and reassuringly, "Forget it, George. Have you forgotten that the most important thing to become a mage is to be intelligent and knowledgeable? You don't even know the words, how can you become a mage? As long as he is willing to teach me some shooting skills, I am satisfied. ”

"I want to learn the art of a warrior, especially rage! Once I master this, I can perform some powerful moves and never have to worry about being besieged by monsters. The young man gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, holding the hilt of his sword.

......

While the three young men were whispering behind them, they didn't know that Adam, who was walking in front, had already heard all the conversations clearly, and even showed a slightly sarcastic smile.

Because he knew that when he threw that crystal into the maelstrom in the middle of the Endless Sea, his creator and master would use the infinite energy inside the planet to open a portal, and then devour and suck all the energy and star souls dry.

At that time, even if the entire planet is not shattered, the unbinding magma in the depths of the earth will erupt, destroying all the flora, fauna, and even civilization on the surface.

Aside from the fire elemental and the earth elemental, there will no longer be a third life in this world that can survive.

As for going to the Wild West, the main thing is to avoid the eyes of MI7 in Stormwind and build a ship that can enter the deep sea without anyone knowing.

The poor fishmen and gnolls will become free laborers, sailors, and slaves under the influence of enchanting magic.

As an artificial being born from a computer program, Adam was not bound by the morality of human society at all, and he did not even establish an outlook on life, values, and worldview.

The only thing he wants to do now is to serve his master and help him achieve his grand ambitions.

Fifty kilometers is not far away, but it is not close.

After a quick march of about six hours, the group finally reached the northeasternmost beach in the west.

However, it is not surprising that they were "warmly welcomed" by more than a hundred fishmen.

"Wow, la, la!"

With their trademark screams, these small monsters clad in yellow-green scales rushed to the shore, apparently intent on killing the enemies of the invaders' own territory, and then eating the corpses for dinner.

"Law...... Master Mage, I think it's better for us to retreat first! there are too many fish-people here!" George bit his lower lip, his legs trembling in disobedience.

You must know that he has not received professional combat training, let alone hundreds of fishmen, but it is a little difficult to deal with both.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to rush up. Adam's eyes flashed red again, and he suddenly raised his hand and shot a fiery fireball.

Next Second......

Rumble!

The fireball exploded violently in the middle of the fishmen, unleashing an astonishing heat of flames, killing at least twenty of them on the spot, and wounding more than twice as many as the dead.

Feeling the oncoming heat wave and the smell of burnt paste, George shuddered involuntarily and muttered to himself, "O my holy light......! It's just pretty cool!"

"Do you want to learn?" Adam asked with a glance at the boy and in a cold, emotionless tone.

"Of course, of course, you want to learn!, will you teach me!" said George, his voice trembling with excitement.

"I can teach you, but you have to pass a small test first. Yes, it's a magic orb, all you have to do is take it to the fish-people and find their leader. If you can finish it before dark, I'll start teaching you magic. But if you can't, then you don't have the qualifications to become a mage's apprentice. Keep in mind that this task must be completed independently and must not ask for help from your peers. ”

With that, Adam placed a gem with a shimmering red luster in the palm of his hand, walked alone to a huge rock, took out his pen and paper, and began to write and draw, ignoring the fishmen who were frightened by the fireballs and were fleeing in all directions.

What is the test of becoming a mage's apprentice?

George was now full of words echoing this sentence, and without saying a word, he ran directly in the direction where the fishmen were most concentrated, not thinking about what would happen to him once he was besieged by the fishmen.

The other two young men in the team also felt a burst of heat, and approached Adam's side and asked cautiously, "My lord, is there anything we can help?"

"Yes, we want to serve you, too. ”

"Oh, since you're so active, take the other two orbs and go around the gnolls camp near the shoreline, and bring them back one by one. Without thinking, Adam pulled out two more gems.

"Bring them back?" Mia said, clutching the gem in her hand, which looked very valuable, with a look of doubt in her eyes.

"Yes, bring them back, not kill them. This gem is blessed with enchanting magic, and if you let them stare at it for a few seconds, they will be caught in it......"
