On the narrow country road, an old carriage was struggling to make its way, crunching from time to time, and one had to wonder if it was going to disintegrate on the spot in the next moment.

Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Jim hummed without a word, poking his head out of the window from time to time, excitedly surveying the changing scenery around him.

The carriage was small, the wooden compartment was dark and smelled musty, and Adams sat across from Jim, his face glazed and stunned, or sad for the farewell that would soon follow.

In fact, however, he was cordially communicating with the "crutches" resting horizontally on his lap.

"Tell me about the basic composition of the magic powers, I seem to be able to feel them flow a little lately, and I'm sorry I blamed you that day. ”

What a stinking old thing, Osslav secretly slandered himself, lately this old devil seems to have a soft spot for playing a low-level apprentice who has not yet started, pestering him every day to ask questions.

"Crappy acting", Oslav secretly spat in his heart, how could he say so many words to himself through the magic network every day with the mental power of a normal ordinary person, even the two-headed cannibal magician in the past was barely able to say five or six sentences to himself every day, although they did not establish contact through the real name oath at that time, but the construction of the magic network consumed nothing more than magic power.

Although he secretly scolded the old guy as much as he liked, the surface work still had to be done, so it pretended to be entertaining and educational, and chatted with Adams "happily" with each other.

"Magic is an existential force that existed at the beginning of the world, it is widely distributed in every part of the world, even the sum of the divine power of the gods is only one-tenth of the number of magic power or even less, in fact, there is a theory that the divine power of the gods is just the magic power of the law of the gods, of course, the proposer of that theory was finally sent to the gallows. ”

Adams listened intently to what the wand was saying, and it occurred to him that if the lectures of the teachers in college had been so interesting, his grades would have been far better than they are now, and he would not have done such a hard job after graduation.

But that's all in the past.

"However, although there are many kinds of magic power, its nature is also very ferocious, and the use of magic power of different natures without transformation is very likely to blow up the caster's body to pieces, and many apprentices and low-level mages die in magic conflicts every year. ”

Osslav paused, and then said: "Therefore, magic affinity is very important, people who do not have magic affinity or have low magic affinity are difficult to control magic power, and it is naturally difficult to advance in magic attainments, in fact, this kind of people account for the vast majority, which is also one of the main reasons why low-level spellcasting professions are not uncommon, but middle- and high-level spellcasters are far rarer than medium- and high-level physics professions." ”

"And what about the other reasons?" asked Adams with interest.

"Of course, it's because there is no money, and the magic profession is a big money gullor. The wand replied unkindly, archmages and legendary mages were never short of money, but what stood in their way was too precious to be measured in money.

"And how should I judge my magical affinity?" Adams was a little excited, and for the first time since crossing into this world, he seemed to touch the path of the upward climb.

"Many magic academies or shops have magic stones, and when the time comes, you can hold it in your hand and you can test your magic affinity, or you can also test your magic affinity with the help of my spells. ”

Osslav is no longer surprised, he has long acquiesced that Adams is a drama spirit, and the current plan, improvisation to cater to this old devil is the fundamental way to survive.

......

After a three-hour drive, there was a loud and screeching sound outside the carriage, accompanied by the sound of stones being thrown on the carriage, and the carriage staggered to a halt on the side of the road, and the coachman was lying on the ground with intermittent moans of pain. A few short monsters with pointed ears surrounded the carriage.

Jim stuck his head back in the carriage, and whispered to Adams with a solemn face and some excitement, "It's the Goblin Bandits." ”

The goblins have a humanoid appearance, their main features are green skin and large swollen red noses, they are wearing tattered leather clothes that barely cover important parts, and they are armed with thick branches tied to stones, and they scream and rush towards the carriage.

Adams stared at Jim nervously, the goblins in the story have always been hors d'oeuvres in the heroic stories of the warriors' feats, but heavy stones can also kill people when they fall on the body, not to mention that there are quite a few opponents, there are five or six, he carefully lowered his voice and asked Jim, "What now?"

Jim didn't answer Adams' question, he dodged against the wall of the car next to the door, and slowly drew his bright silver sword from the scabbard at his waist.

A goblin was the first to try to climb into the car, and the moment it opened the door, Jim stabbed it through with a thrust. Then the little thing fell.

However, in the next instant, three goblins pounced on Jim.

Jim dodged the embrace of the two dwarfs, then sent a sword through the throat of the oncoming one, and then reflexively split the head of the other, blood foaming out of the other's throat, like a cracked watermelon.

In less than a minute, Jim had dealt with the three goblins, and Adams was stunned.

That's too fierce, isn't it? He looked at his friends in disbelief as the goblins were almost no match for Jim.

However, it was not that simple, and when Jim was about to turn to face the fourth goblin running up, a goblin standard stone hammer flew behind him, and hit Jim in the back hard.

Even though Jim was still beaten with the protection of leather armor, the cold light waving in his hand couldn't help but pause, giving the goblin in front of him a chance to breathe.

The goblin raised the stone hammer in his hand as if he had been beaten and slammed it at Jim's head, Jim turned his head slightly to avoid the fatal blow, deflecting the attack to his left shoulder, and the long sword in his right hand stabbed forward, slicing open the opponent's abdomen and pulling out a piece of intestines.

But at this moment, another heavy blow landed on Jim's back, and Jim rolled his eyes and was knocked unconscious.

Two fierce glances appeared behind Jim, and they were the two remaining goblins.
