Chapter 002: Deterrence

There is a manor house on the north side of the town, which is exquisitely decorated. This is the residence of one of the most famous apothecaries in the town, who belongs to the most powerful class in the town of Slan, and has himself risen to the second rank. He was also able to refine the spiritual power elixir and life elixir absorbed by the early stage mage of the second order of tribute, which made him have a wide range of connections. Throughout the town, many people gave him a face, and even in Seleface City, many people knew about him.

A faint golden point of light fell onto the grass, reflecting a little golden light.

He sat in a white chair with his eyes slightly closed. His left hand was pounding impatiently on the armchair. I sent a few students to call the drug testers to come over, but I haven't seen anyone come for so long, and I don't know what they are doing and not coming back.

"These bastards, why haven't they come back. Do you want me to sit here for a day? He took off his lilac gold-rimmed hood, revealing a rather gloomy face. His pale skin looked like he hadn't been out in a long time, his left hand was scorched, and his ugly, rotten skin was tattooed with pale green tattoos.

He stood up, ready to take a break.

As soon as he turned around, a light breeze came. A chill unconsciously broke out of his back.

"Teacher, help me!"

"Teacher, save us!"

The middle-aged man turned his head and saw four people lying quietly on the ground, their faces were bloody and fleshy, and they looked weak.

Behind stood a young-looking mage, fair-skinned, with long flaxen hair that reached to his waist.

He took a few steps closer, clapped his hands, and chuckled, "You're their teacher?" ”

"Yes, who are you? What do you want to do? The middle-aged mage's face sank and asked cautiously. In his right hand, a staff of dead wood taller than a human head had appeared. Always ready to make a move. He didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he made his student look like this and still spoke in this tone. No matter what, he will not be let go.

Grant smiled. His eyes were full of smiles: "Are you looking for a medicine tester?" You see if I'm qualified enough. ”

"What the hell do you mean?"

"It's boring, I just want to teach you a lesson!" Grant snorted twice with a wave of his right hand into the air. The heads of the four apprentices all fell to the grass and rolled a few times until they reached the legs of the middle-aged mage. The sound of gurgling blood was incessant, staining the green grass into a patch of green and red grass.

"You've learned enough, I don't think you're qualified to leave here again." The corners of the middle-aged man's lips moved slightly, purple runes appeared around the manor, and many small black holes drilled out of some gaps between the grass and the stone slabs, spewing out a puff of lilac smoke.

Soon. The lawn area of the estate turned purple. The middle-aged mage covered the tip of his nose and stood there after taking a sip of the antidote. He knew that the young mage would not be able to withstand a minute under the poison gas he had made. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart: "Dare to kill someone in front of your own eyes? Then you have to be ready to be killed. ”

Ten minutes later......

The fog in the lawn area gradually dissipated, and everything became clear. The grass on the grass shrank and withered, and the stems and leaves on the surface appeared a dull grayish-yellow color. There are also many small black spots on the leaf surface.

"Hmph, let you go against me." The middle-aged mage said with disdain. What he is best at is using this poisonous medicine to kill people, and as his base camp, he has long buried the deadliest poison.

"Oh? This poisonous mist is really good. Even a third-order mage has to be weakened, but it's a pity that it's still very easy to kill you in an instant like this. Grant took a few steps. Shaking off the purple dust that appeared on his body, his eyes looked at the middle-aged mage with great interest. I wanted to make a move just now, but the chip sensed that this poisonous fog was very powerful, so he simply analyzed the data and recorded it.

The middle-aged mage saw Grant walk out of the fog without any trouble. Shocked: "How can you get out?" ”

"Why can't I come out?" Grant asked rhetorically.

"Damn, what the hell do you want to do?" The middle-aged mage barely calmed down, and his heart was already in turmoil. To be able to gas himself still like a nobody. Then the opponent's strength will inevitably step into the quasi-third order or third order. This kind of existence is no longer a mage who appeared in a small town, and he has not offended other high-level mages. How could you provoke such a strong person.

"What do you think? I'm upset that your apprentice dragged my friend to be a drug tester. Kill them though. But I know you have a grudge in your heart, and you are a pharmacist. I'm really worried that you're still alive, so I'll just let you die. Grant shook his grip into the air, and a cloud of pitch-black flames flashed. A black image was lightning that appeared behind the middle-aged mage, and with a press of the claws, the middle-aged mage's head fell. Even if he was dead, his eyes were looking at the sky in disbelief, and he didn't know how a friend could have such a strong person.

"Refi, get that first-order mage upstairs." Grant commanded.

Refi nodded, stomped on his toes, and disappeared in place. In more than thirty seconds, Refei jumped from the small attic, holding a mage in his twenties. He was wearing a robe, and his appearance was slightly similar to the middle-aged man in front of him, but there was a clear difference between the strands of hair. The middle-aged mage is blonde, and the one in front of him is a long lilac hair.

"Who are you?" Grant asked.

"My lord, I'm one of this guy's customers. This time I came to refine potions, and I beg you not to kill me. I'm willing to give you half of the resources in my hand. ”

Grant sneered, and after poking his palm into his head and entering a mark, he smiled: "I know you are the son of this guy, because the hatred that flashed in his eyes just now can't deceive people." Let me tell you, I planted a spiritual imprint for you, and you can't get rid of it without third-order strength. Now give you half an hour to call all the high-ranking people in the town to come here, or you will wait to die. Remember, you only have thirty minutes of time. ”

The purple-haired mage never expected that a mage would be so decisive in determining his identity, but he still said, "I'll go and ask them all to come here right away." He was also sneering in his heart, when everyone arrived, he might be able to kill the guy in front of him if he worked together to deal with him, and because of this, this was the only chance.

Grant glanced at the purple-haired mage who was leaving. I found a clean chair and sat down.

…………

Dozens of minutes later, a team of people rushed to arrive. Each had a knife or sword in their hands, and there was a hint of annoyance and anger on their faces. No one expected that the town's top apothecary would be killed.

Kick open the wooden fence gate. Brave a faint dust.

"Is it there?" Grant sat in his chair, his legs crossed. A lazy look.

The manor was paved with many small stones, and there were a dozen mages standing in a hurry. They saw Grant sitting there. One by one, they all used their spirits to probe, trying to find out the strength of the mage in front of them. They understood that this mage's strength was at least at the late second-order stage or at the top of the second-order.

"Who are you? Why dare you kill Mage Ritya. A hot-tempered mage stepped out and asked the man in front of him. He still had a bunch of herbs on the apothecary, but they weren't there anymore.

"Say, who are you?" The back questioned, the voice was like a wave, wave after wave, and it would never break.

Grant glanced at these people and calculated in his heart, "So many mages are enough. Just stop them. I believe that no one in the town dares to bully Mary, and I have to rush to the knight's town. ”

Now that he understood, Grant smiled: "I'm here to make you remember that you can't bully a family." ”

He flicked his fingers, and Mary and her mother appeared.

"Hmph, do whatever you tell us to do? Who do you think you are? A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said disdainfully. Although the other party is very strong, his own side also accounts for a large number of people.

Poof!

A thin line appeared on the man's neck, and in the next second, the blood spurted out and sent the head high.

"I said it, it's the first commandment." Grant's eyes looked cold for a moment. The majestic spiritual power of the whole body swept through the entire manor. The faces of all the mages changed in unison, because it was the fluctuation of the third-order powerhouse. Grant knew that the deterrence had passed, so it was not a big deal. glanced at the middle-aged mage son who was hiding the murderous motive. The spiritual imprint of communication in the heart strangled the other party's brain. Before he could react, he collapsed as soon as it was dark.

"Alright. I said it. If I come in the future and find out something about the other party, your heads will not be there. ”

Grant left a word. A burst of dark red flames ignited around him and vanished.

Call~~

A manor with an oppressive atmosphere. A refreshing cool breeze blew. Everyone noticed that their backs were already wet. Even his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. They were all terrified: "This is a third-order mage, and it belongs to the kind of third-order that is quite powerful." I didn't expect to meet such a mage, it's really unlucky. ”

"Let's write it down, so that we don't offend later. Then the head is gone. ”

After a little discussion, they decided that they couldn't let the rest of the town mess with the family. Otherwise, the little life is gone.

When Grant was done, he made his way down the street to Mary's house.

It was dim inside, with only a few candles illuminating the small patches. The air also smelled damp musty, and the room was untouched by sunlight. Grant took a few steps closer and saw Mary making some handmade bread and meat in the living room, and the faint smell of meat wafted through the room. Her little face was filled with happiness.

"Yes, it smells good." Grant walked over and sniffed it, smiling.

Mary was pleasantly surprised, and laughed, "Brother Grant, come and see what I have made." ”

Grant reached into his mouth and took a bite. The fluffy bread is crispy to bite, and the meaty flavor of the lo pork is extremely chewy. It tasted good.

"It's delicious." Grant praised.

"Master Mage, if you like it, eat more. There's also some soup here. The woman came up gratefully, holding a bowl of fragrant soup in one hand. Grant nodded, intending to eat. Even though I had eaten it a few hours ago, I was still able to store the energy.

…………

Grant finished eating at Mary's house, left five hundred magic stones, and left. After leaving the town, hire a carriage at the border and rush to the vicinity of the knight's town. Grant plans to ride in the carriage because the time spent in the carriage can be used to learn the spells left over from the last time in the black fog.

…………

A few days later......

A certain grassland in Aylas.

In the endless grassland, a black and gold-rimmed carriage moved slowly.

The wind blew the grass on the grassland to tilt continuously, like tumbling folds, wave after wave.

At noon, the sky was covered with a large layer of gray and white clouds, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in sight.

Grant sat at the back of the carriage, one hand touching a piece of spell paper. After a long time, he smiled lightly: "I have learned all the twelve third-order spells. The power of pre-ancient spells is much stronger than that of the same level, at least it can be regarded as a rare type of spell. ”

"My lord, we're almost at the border of Knight Town." The coachman shouted softly.

Grande nodded in response, "I see, you stop ahead." I'll pay as soon as I get off the bus. ”

"Okay." The coachman nodded, and the carriage moved on.

It wasn't long before Grant got out of the carriage. Head in the direction of the knight's town. Along the way, many parallel mages gradually appeared. They looked excited, as if they were glad to have arrived at the black fog.

"Hello, dare to ask, but the mage who came to explore the treasure in the black mist." A voice interrupted Grant's train of thought.

He saw three men and women approaching wearing a robe and a metal trivia inside. Their skin and appearance are somewhat similar, and their pupils have a trefoil pattern. On closer inspection, it is a racial trait.

"Hello, I am." Grant nodded. He saw that the group of people in front of him were all mid-second order, and he could guess that they were with him. In the past few days, I have studied third-order spells and learned a spell that hides the spiritual level. It's not just the second-order or the third-order that can be easily fooled. Grant simply adjusted to the mid-second order top, neither high nor low.

One of the leading mages was slightly strong, and the muscles protruding from his chest were like a woman's chest. His face was straight, as if he had been measured with a ruler. He wears a silver cross sword around his waist.

He said excitedly: "I don't know what Your Excellency's name is?" Are you willing to team up with us, the black fog is very dangerous, and if we act alone, we will definitely encounter danger. It's better for everyone to be together. ”

Grant looked at it and smiled slightly: "No, it's convenient for me to be alone." ”

After speaking, the toes were on their toes. The figure vanished.

The three of them didn't expect Grant to go so fast, and they didn't even say hello. After being stunned, the leading mage shook his head and smiled, intending to move on. A female mage with blonde hair and a ponytail behind her snorted coldly, and a trace of disgust and contempt flashed on her delicate face: "What the hell, I'm just a mid-second-order mage, do you really think that you can get a big benefit in it?" What a megalomaniacal person. ”

"Forget it, second sister. Let's go. The strong man mage shook his head, vaguely able to guess that the person in front of him was not as simple as he imagined, and the other party must be hiding a secret. (To be continued......)
