Chapter 23: The Return

Punk, who had just been promoted to apprentice level (level 5), began to learn apprentice spells hungrily on the way back to Konora City, but soon, Punk was keenly aware that although apprentice-level spells are theoretically only an upgraded version of apprentice-level spells, it stands to reason that as long as they master the basics, their spell structure should be in the same vein as apprentice-level spells, but in fact, Punk found that the apprentice-level spell structure is at least twice as complex as the apprentice-level spell structure because it has to carry more magic and exert more power, so even with the help of the system, the learning of spells is still much more difficult than learning apprentice-level spells!

What's even more troublesome is that the punk found that the number of apprentice-level spells in his inheritance of knowledge has been greatly reduced, and the outrageously expensive price on the apprentice-level spell exchange table that he saw on the Mage Guild is reminiscent............ He began to rejoice in the wealth of knowledge that his parents had left him, because at the price of the Mage Guild, most traveling mages (wild mages) would need a lot of time and effort to exchange them, which was also an important reason why many traveling mages would only have a few less precious common spells.

But those mages who have a lineage are different, (joining the mentor is only a candidate for inheritance, and they have to spend money to buy cultivation resources before they can actually become inheritors), these "academic" mages can learn a lot of spells, which means that they can greatly enhance the effect of spells through various spell combinations, such as the combination of "greasy" and "fireball" is comparable to "deflagration" , but the mana consumed is only one-third of the latter, and academic mages can learn a variety of precious and powerful spells for free, but also master many rare spells and even unique secret skills, their means can be said to be unpredictable, in contrast, travel mages can generally only learn a few very common ordinary spells, the means are scarce, the knowledge is narrow, and only the spells are not strong, even if they have a lot of combat experience, but they will still be at a disadvantage when they meet the same excellent academic mages, not to mention that they still have a strong backing (mentor) !

Punk discovers that his parents may be lucky traveling mages, and in the memories they inherit, the more advanced the knowledge, the less knowledge, and the apprentice level is barely enough, but when it comes to the official level, it begins to be stretched, and with this knowledge to impact the legend?

Punk felt that he had to plan for the future, although he was still a long way from the official level, but it would be too late to wait until he was promoted to the official level, so Punk planned to wait until he returned to Konora City, and began to inquire if there were any official mages who had any intention of accepting apprentices, and it would be too early to dare at that time.

"But these are things that will happen after it stabilizes", Punk sighed lightly, and his top priority after returning to Conola City was to exchange the formula for the alchemy potion and operate his alchemy workshop first, although high-end professionals don't care about money, and the truly precious secret skills are not something that money can buy, but at least at the apprentice level, money still has considerable influence.

For Punk, the time to learn and practice knowledge always passes quickly, and in Punk's feeling, he has not walked a few steps, and he can already see the shadow of Conola City in the distance, and the system prompts Punk that he has been walking on the wasteland for three days!

In the past three days, the punk has not been disturbed when he is studying the new spell, and those wandering beasts have not had time to run away when they feel the pressure brought by the punk apprentice-level soul level, how dare they come forward to find trouble. So Punk walked back to Konora City so easily!

This time when the punk entered the city through the side door, the old man had been shocked and forgot to ask him to register, the memory of the professional is very strong, even the apprentice-level professional is no exception, and the formal-level powerhouse can easily do "unforgettable", this old man clearly remembers that the young mage in front of him wearing a magic robe and hood was still an apprentice when he entered the city for a while, and he was already a trainee-level powerhouse when he came back after only a week (nine days a week for Fei Lun), when did the level increase be so easy?

Punk completely ignored the old warrior man who stood on the side and looked like his entire worldview and outlook on life had been hit, and he was even more strange how it had only been a week, and the whole city of Konora had changed its style, and what was going on with this strong natural wind?

I saw that the side of the houses in the streets and alleys facing the rising sun had been painted with a pattern of cheap green dye, although these poor people who were obviously not good in the painting level painted the pattern quite abstractly, but it could still be seen that it was a farmer's seedling, although the seedling pattern had been somewhat embellished and exaggerated, but the punk still recognized that it should be a staple food often cultivated by people in the plane of Faerun- The seedlings of the wheat, and the punks also saw that people were wearing a grass ring made of leaves and broad-leaved grass on their heads, and the girls who loved beauty also decorated a few small flowers on the grass ring, and many people changed into green coats and pants, and everyone had a lot of laughter and laughter, and the green seedlings were painted and ornamented to give the whole city a sense of vitality, and the atmosphere of the whole city became different.

Punk didn't think much about it, he planned to wait for the handover of the task to find a shop to have a full meal while asking the boss, Punk didn't ask the passers-by, he walked on the street dressed as a mage, and the pedestrians were far away, if he grabbed people on the street and asked, it would scare people away, and even cause turmoil, and now he wants to find a kind camp mentor Punk still needs a good reputation of "amiable".

However, when Punk passed by a shop, he stopped, this is the barbecue restaurant where he bought barbecue, this barbecue is indeed very delicious, even if Punk is affected by the blood of the primeval elves and is not so "feeling" for meat, he still has a good taste for the juicy fluffy steak and the salty and fragrant sauce of this barbecue.

The punk who walked into the store saw the enthusiastic uncle, the uncle saw a guest coming in and wanted to say hello, and after finding out that it was a young mage, he remembered that the last time this mage bought barbecue meat from him, after all, as an ordinary barbecue restaurant owner, he has received only a handful of professionals, although this mage has always worn a hood, only showing a smooth white chin, but the barbecue uncle still remembers punk!

"Haha, little mage, thank you for taking care of the business of the shop again", the barbecue uncle said very self-cooked.

Punk didn't answer his words, just ordered a barbecue and didn't speak, which made the uncle only touch the back of his head in embarrassment and laugh stiffly.

When the barbecue is placed on the table, Punk asks Uncle Barbecue in a deep voice about the changes in the city.

Uncle Barbecue showed a somewhat surprised expression at first, and then suddenly said to Punk with an exaggerated look of sudden realization: "Little brother looks like an outsider, it's the middle of the tender level, and the whole area of the Camos Kingdom is celebrating the "Emerald Green Festival"!"
