Chapter 13: Fireball
"Hmm~, it's another day."
Ning Wushuang stood in front of the dormitory and looked at the forest lake, greedily breathing in the refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants.
Zou Haoyun walked up to Ning Wushuang and asked, "How are you going to do today?" Would you like to go to the Adventurer's Guild to pick up the bounty now? β
Seeing that the other three were also ready to leave at any time, Ning Wushuang said to the four of them, "Let's go and exchange the Lutes today, and then go to the Magic Scroll Shop to have a look." β
As soon as Zou Haoyun heard that he was going to buy a magic scroll, he immediately put his arm on Ning Wushuang's shoulder in surprise and said, "Hehe, Shuang'er." Don't forget to invest in me this super powerful magic skill scroll, my magic is not joking with you. After speaking, he raised his palm to burn his magic power, and his ostentatious appearance made Qian Zilai almost unable to control himself and give him another over-the-shoulder fall.
After successfully exchanging their wallets for Lutcoins, the group heads to the Magic Scroll Shop with a large bag of "Lutcoins".
"Although one Lutecoin is a little smaller and lighter than the original world's one-dollar coin, the 1,000 pieces are still a bit too eye-catching to carry around like this in a bag."
"Hey, we can also buy a storage ring like Miss Rena, that would be convenient."
"Also, so as not to trouble Yu Feng to carry something heavy every time."
"Haha, it's okay, it's very light."
"Well, everybody's here, the Magic Scroll Shop."
"Well, thank you Sophia for leading the way."
After entering the Magic Scroll Shop, Ning Wushuang's first feeling was that he felt as if he had entered a bookstore. Rows of bookshelves are full of detailed descriptions of various magical skills, and they are well categorized according to the purpose and characteristics of magical skills.
Sophia enthusiastically introduced the four of them: "The magic scroll store collects a lot of magic skill data, and some adventurers like to go to the store to find information or improve their familiarity with various magic skills even if they don't buy it. β
Ning Wushuang nodded and said, "Well, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." β
Sophia continued, "Of course, not all of the magical skills recorded in the store can be purchased in the store, and some of them are just included in the materials. Magical skills that can be purchased in the store will have instructions that they can be purchased on-site or pre-purchased. β
Yu Feng was puzzled: "Pre-purchase?" β
Sophia explains: "A pre-purchase is a deposit that is paid upfront and then commissioned by a fleet of carriages from other cities. For example, some high-level magic skill scrolls are very expensive to make, and when there are customers who need them, the magic scroll shop will only bring them from the main store in the royal capital of Lute. By the way, there are also some magic skills that are too obscure that need to be pre-purchased. β
Qian Zilai spread his hands and complained: "It's so troublesome, fortunately, I don't have magic and don't need it." β
Ning Wushuang said with a smile: "Ha, anyway, we probably can't afford high-level magic now, so it's better to start with some practical small skills to enhance the strength of the team." β
Yu Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Well, after improving your strength, it will be easier to complete the high-reward bounty task." β
So, the five of them began to look for suitable magic skills according to their rank in the magic scroll shop.
"The magic skills of the warrior rank are also divided into weapon types, and even the magic skills of the shield class are too comprehensive." Ning Wushuang sighed as he looked at the introduction of the magic skill called "Savage Collision".
"Savage Charge, which strengthens its shield with magic and inflicts explosive charges on enemies with a stun chance. Priced at 500 Lutcoin. β
"It's so expensive!"
"Focus on combat, improve your concentration on the enemy's actions, and look for the enemy's weaknesses within a certain range with yourself as the center. Priced at 100 Rubcoin. This is a lot cheaper, is it because the support skills are cheaper? β
Sophia quickly explained: "Actually, not all support skills are cheap. In fact, after reading the introduction, some magic skills can be comprehended by adventurers who try to practice them during their adventures. The lower the difficulty of self-comprehension, the cheaper the price. Of course, not all skills can be comprehended on their own after reading the introduction. β
Yu Feng pointed to the introduction of the savage rush and asked Sophia: "So I don't need to buy this skill, and I can comprehend it by practicing it myself according to the above description?" β
Sophia: "Well, yes. However, mastering magical skills is not an easy task. For example, this skill requires instilling magic into the shield and legs to get an explosive impact, but it is not easy to use magic skillfully and in two places at the same time. β
Yu Feng nodded: "Oh, I understand." β
Ning Wushuang asked, "If you learn through the scroll, will you be able to immediately skillfully use magic power on the shield and legs?" β
Sophia hurriedly explained: "Magic skills are also proficient, and it is true that you can learn this skill immediately, but beginners are normally unable to play the actual level of this skill, and only by continuous training can they be proficient." β
Ning Wushuang nodded: "I see." β
Zou Haoyun, who had been looking forward to having magic skills, waited a little impatiently, and said, "I said, when are you going to see the skills of the magician?" Didn't I say it, but I guess the person with the most potential to learn magical skills is me, right? β
Qian Zilai complained: "When you say it, you are invincible in the world, and when you fight, you run the fastest." β
Zou Haoyun spread out his hands and said helplessly: "That time I still learned magic skills from the one-eyed ape, if I learn it, let alone one, ten of them will be easily solved." β
Ning Wushuang shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, then let's go and take a look." β
"It's so expensive!!"
When they saw that the most common magician attack skill "Fireball Technique" actually cost 800 Lutes, Ning Wushuang and the four of them were shocked.
Sophia smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, the magic skill scrolls of the Magus and the Priest are the most expensive of all the ranks. β
Ning Wushuang asked, "Is it because it is difficult to comprehend on your own?" β
Sophia nodded and said, "Yes, even if you know the patterns of the magic array constructed with magic power, it is very difficult to practice and comprehend. β
Qian Zilai patted Zou Haoyun on the shoulder and said, "I see, you can learn a lighting technique, 100 Lutes, affordable and practical." β
Yu Feng also pointed to a magic skill introduction and said with a smile: "Haoyun, this detection skill is also easy to use, it can use magic to detect the types and types of creatures with itself as the center of a certain range, and it is only 100 Lutes." β
Ning Wushuang smiled and asked Zou Haoyun: "So, which one do you choose?" β
Zou Haoyun was also in a dilemma, although he really wanted to have an attack-type magic skill, but this Lutcoin was obtained by everyone, and he had no reason to spend the part that didn't belong to him.
Zou Haoyun said embarrassedly: "Haha, I didn't expect it to be so expensive, so forget it, let's buy it when I make more money." β
Yu Feng laughed and said: "I think let him learn the fireball technique first, and occasionally help me light a cigarette, but I was worried that there was no lighter to buy here." β
Qian Zilai complained: "This is too wasteful." β
Ning Wushuang thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the magic skills of warriors are easier to comprehend through practice, then why don't you wait for me and Yu Feng to read a few more skill introductions, and then practice more." β
"So."
"So, let's let you learn the fireball technique first."
"But it's not good to spend all this money on me."
"Well, it's an investment, you're the master C, and the burden of the task will naturally be handed over to you, hehe. All in all, everyone will get the magic skill scroll sooner or later, and Sophia is no exception, no matter how expensive the priest skill is, our team will have to cover it. β
Sophia said happily, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. β
Zou Haoyun patted his chest and said, "Fighting monsters or something, it's wrapped up in me." β
So, the five of them went to the front desk of the store and successfully purchased the "Fireball Technique" scroll.
"After all, it's an entry-level magic skill, so it should be prepared in any magic skill store."
"That's right."
Subsequently, Ning Wushuang and the five of them came to the equipment store again, and equipped each of them with light and excellent defensive chain mail, and at the same time, Ning Wushuang was also equipped with a short iron sword like Yu Feng. Although he still wanted to buy a set of bows and arrows for Qian Zilai, after trying several sets of bows and arrows, Qian Zilai directly raised his head and surrendered.
"Forget it, I'll be a bastard with peace of mind, I really can't pull it."
"Haha, look, I've already told you all."
Ning Wushuang picked up the bow curiously and asked, "Is it really that difficult, I'll try." β
However, the bow was easily opened by Ning Wushuang: "It's not difficult, it's acceptable." β
Zou Haoyun's eyes widened and asked, "When did Shuang'er have so much strength?" After saying that, he picked up the bow and tried it.
"Hey, it seems to be simple, it won't be open for a long time."
Sophia hurriedly explained: "Well, in fact, everyone's physical fitness such as strength and speed will be improved after awakening the magic power. β
"Oh, I see."
"Well, it looks like I'm really going to be a bastard."
"That, it's okay with Brother Zilai, there must be something that can help."
"Haha, don't you want your sister to comfort you?"
"Don't, I was wrong, big brother."
"Ahem, since the equipment is also prepared, let Haoyun learn fireball in the afternoon, and after that, let's continue to take on tasks to make money." Ning Wubi said as he shook it to everyone, and now there were only a few dozen Lutes left in his money bag.
"Understood! Captain Twins! β
Ning Wushuang: "Tsk, I see that your Zou Haoyun is itchy again!" Do it, Zilai! β
"Roger!"
"Well, let's get along in harmony."
"Haha, it's okay, Sophia, it's harmony for this team."
Sophia could only smile awkwardly as Qian Zilai and Ning Wushuang chased after Zou Haoyun and fell over their shoulders.
At noon, after the five of them had eaten.
"Sophia, I said how to use this scroll?"
Sophia replied embarrassedly, "Well, I haven't actually used a scroll before, but I've heard from others that you can learn by placing your palm on the magic circle of the scroll and using magic power." β
Ning Wushuang asked curiously, "Huh?" So how did Sophia's Slow Healing learn? β
Sophia laughs, "My mom started teaching me when I was very young, and I don't remember how I learned it at the time. β
Yu Feng also asked curiously: "Then Sophia's mother used a magic scroll to learn?" β
Sophia continued: "Huh? No, my mother was taught by my grandmother. Mom said that since a long time ago, our matriarchal lineage has been clergy in the church, and the slow healing is also to better help the sick and injured villagers in the village who have no money for medical treatment. β
Ning Wushuang continued to ask: "In this case, if Sophia has a daughter in the future, will she have to let her daughter become a priest?" β
Sophia blushed and said, "It'sβit's too early to think about this. β
"Haha, too."
Considering the safety issue, Ning Wushuang and the five of them decided to go out to an open place outside the city and let Zou Haoyun learn the fireball technique and try to use it.
"Well, it should work here."
"Well, there's a river here, so if you burn yourself, you'll jump into it."
"Phew, curse me like that."
Subsequently, except for Zou Haoyun, the other four people all stood at a certain distance.
Zou Haoyun spread the scroll on the ground as Sophia said, and then put his right hand on the magic circle of the scroll to use his magic power.
When the magic power of his right hand touched the scroll magic array, the magic array suddenly emitted a red light, and then the magic array seemed to come to life, enlarged from the scroll and spun. After a few rotations, the magic array contracted violently until it completely contracted into a point of light and drilled into Zou Haoyun's palm.
"That's it?" Zou Haoyun looked at his palm and then at Sophia and asked.
Sophia nodded and said, "Well, it should be fine." β
"I'll try."
Then Zou Haoyun turned his back to the four people, raised his right hand and imagined the magic array on the scroll just now, it was strange to say, obviously Zou Haoyun didn't deliberately remember the lines of the magic array at that time, but at this moment he remembered the appearance of the lines very clearly in his mind, so he shouted into the air: "Fireball Technique"
"Whew... Bang! β
"What the hell!"
When Zou Haoyun shouted out the fireball technique, and at the same time used the magic power according to the magic array pattern in his memory, the magic array that appeared when he used the scroll at that time lit up in his palm, and at the same time, a huge fireball that was a person tall rushed out from the magic array in his palm. A huge fireball exploded in the air, and the powerful aftermath made everyone on the ground feel the heat. Zou Haoyun himself was frightened by this power.
"I say, Sophia, how is this fireball technique different from other anime?"
Sophia also looked shocked and replied, "IβI've seen this huge fireball for the first time, more than ten times larger than my previous magician teammates. β
Ning Wushuang said embarrassedly: "I said Haoyun, I'm afraid this skill can't be used casually." β
Zou Haoyun also said embarrassedly: "I feel that I haven't tried my best, I should be able to get bigger." β
Qian Zilai also complained: "If the space is a little smaller, this is simply a suicide skill." β
Sophia hurriedly explained: "After using magic power proficiently, the size of the fireball technique can be changed according to the amount of magic used. β
Ning Wushuang relaxed a little and said, "Huh, that's okay, otherwise it's just setting fire to the mountain and sitting in the prison." β
Yu Feng walked up to Zou Haoyun and put his arm on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, I will hold your thigh in the future." β
Zou Haoyun said embarrassedly: "Haha, you have to be skilled, otherwise it will be troublesome to blow you up." β
Ning Wushuang said with a smile: "Don't worry, go back to the Adventurer's Guild to take the task now, and give you a lot of opportunities to practice." β
As a result, Ning Wushuang and his party returned to the Adventurer's Guild, and a new adventure was about to begin.
