Chapter 8: Master Mage, Why Are You Crying?
"Get out of the way, or I'll do it." As a mage, Li Yuan didn't have that much strength, but he could rub a fireball to scare them.
The drunkard and the homeless man were all frightened when they saw the fireball in Li Yuan's hand, and only the eyes of the little beggar who was catching fireflies were full of envy.
Li Yuan and the fat man gradually walked towards the little beggar, and the little beggar saw the "Master Mage" walking towards him, his eyes were a little frightened, and he was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know where to put his hand, so he had to put it behind him.
"Kid, what are you doing?" Li Yuan squatted down, looked at the little beggar and asked gently.
"Great, sir...... Me, I'm catching fireflies. The little beggar seemed a little nervous, and he was talking in a hurry.
"Can you show me?" Li Yuan looked at the little beggar with a smile and said.
The little beggar was so happy that he hurriedly stretched out his hand and carefully handed the grass cage where the fireflies were placed in front of Li Yuan.
Fireflies glow faintly in the grass cage.
"It's so pretty." Li Yuan praised.
"Really?" The little beggar's eyes were full of light, "If the mage-sama likes it...... Goo"
As the little beggar spoke, his stomach began to growl, and the little beggar thought that he had made a fool of himself in front of the "Master Mage", and lowered his head in embarrassment.
The task is coming, Li Yuan just knows that there is a little beggar here in his previous life who can receive the task, and the task requires two black breads and a bottle of milk, but I don't know how to trigger it.
Li Yuan took out a piece of black bread and handed it to the beggar, motioning for the little beggar to eat it.
The little beggar hesitated to take the bread and began to devour it, and the little beggar wanted to eat a little more, but he was so hungry.
In a short time a single loaf of bread was eaten, and the little beggar seemed to be in good spirits.
"I'm not full, there's still something here." Li Yuan handed the little beggar another piece of brown bread.
The little beggar began to gobble up again.
"Hiccupβ" The little beggar hiccuped and looked at Li Yuan a little embarrassed.
"Don't choke." Li Yuan handed out another bottle of milk to the little beggar.
The little beggar opened the milk bottle and drank half of it, but when he put down the bottle, two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
System: Hephaestus' opinion of you has increased, and the current opinion is: Friendly.
I didn't expect the little beggar to have a name, the richness of NPC information represents its importance, just like the homeless and drunk in front of them don't have names at all, and these NPCs with unified names like wild monsters can't receive any tasks.
Hephaestus wiped his tears, handed the grass cage in his hand to Li Yuan, and said in a slurring voice: "If the adults like it, I want to dedicate this to the adults." With that, Hephaestus' eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that the "Master Mage" would accept this.
Li Yuan did not refuse, and took the grass cage away.
You have obtained a cage of fireflies.
firefly
Description: An insect that can fluoresce faintly in the dark, it has a short lifespan, only 72 hours at most
This straw cage is used to get a water bag from an angler on Lake Elena. The water bag can be filled with Elena Lake water, and the water bag filled with lake water can replenish the player with 1000 drops of blood or magic, and it can be filled with lake water for reuse, if it is not for level ten to leave the novice village to go to the town, it is too troublesome to come back to get water, and the water bag can be used to level twenty or thirty.
Now that the hydration bladder mission materials are available, the next step is the self-reliance mission.
"Have you ever wondered what to do tomorrow?" Li Yuan asked.
"Tomorrow?" Hephaestus didn't know what the "Master Mage" was going to say, and frowned.
"If I hadn't come, would you be hungry tomorrow?" Li Yuan asked with concern.
"I, I'm ......" Hephaestus looked embarrassed, lowered his head and pinched his fingers in a panic.
"You can feed yourself." Li Yuan reminded.
"But, but my lord, I can't do anything, and no one wants to hire a child who doesn't know anything." Hephaestus looked up at Li Yuan and explained.
"Who said you don't know anything, how beautiful the fireflies in this cage are!" Li Yuan held up the firefly and said to Hephaestus, "You see, this is what I exchanged for two pieces of black bread and a bottle of milk. β
"But, sir, is anyone willing to trade bread and milk for my fireflies?" Hephaestus hesitated.
"Of course." Li Yuan patted Hephaestus on the shoulder, then turned to the fat man and gave him a look.
"I do." The fat man took out two pieces of brown bread and a bottle of milk and handed them to Hephaestus, "Little friend, can I exchange these for a cage of fireflies for you?" β
"Sir, are you really willing to trade these for my fireflies?" Hephaestus looked at the fat man in disbelief.
"Of course I do, your fireflies shine like stars in the sky, everyone will be impressed by its charm, and it is my honor to have such a cage of fireflies." The fat man swore by it.
I'll go, fatty, I didn't know you were so.
Hephaestus took the bread and milk, and gave the fat man a cage of fireflies.
"My lord, do I really rely on this to support myself?" Hephaestus still looked at Li Yuan a little unconfidently.
System: Hephaestus' opinion of you has increased, and the current opinion is: Friendly.
System: Accept the task or not - Hephaestus's self-reliance.
Accept.
Mission - Hephaestus' Self-Reliance: Help Hephaestus earn at least two pieces of brown bread and a bottle of milk every day for five days.
The two black bread and milk are a total of 26 copper, as long as Li Yuan releases the news that a cage of fireflies can be exchanged for a water bag, then a 26 copper cage of fireflies can definitely be sold, a novice red potion with five copper coins and a bottle can recover 100 blood in ten seconds, and if you also add 1000 blood, the water bag will be half cheaper, not to mention that the water bag can be used repeatedly.
"In the future, you will sell 26 copper coins for each cage of fireflies, and you are guaranteed to have someone buy them." Li Yuan said that Hephaestus was not allowed to sell near the novice village because fireflies were only found in the dark jungle, and it was too dangerous for him to pass through the dark jungle, although there was some chaos near the moonlight tavern, but at least there was no harassment from wild beasts.
"Thank you, Master Mage." Hephaestus bent down and bowed to Li Yuan, and after getting up, Hephaestus hesitated for a moment, and then took out something from his arms with a reluctant look, "Master Mage, thank you for helping me do so many things, I haven't been able to repay you, this is what my mother left me after she died...... I hope you will accept it. Hephaestus said, bowed down and handed the things in his hand to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan picked up the thing and saw that it was a heart-shaped transparent stone, but there were a few cracks in it, as if it might shatter in the next moment, but when he saw the attributes of the item, Li Yuan's eyes were almost so frightened that they didn't fall.

Li Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and then returned the mage's heart to Hephaestus, "This is something your mother left you, how can you give it to others casually, this is something that must be guarded even if you die." β
"Master Mage, why are you crying?"
