Although the price was lowered, and he only got half the real value of the magic stone, among all the poor apprentices, Al was now worth a lot of money, at least he was able to buy a lot of paid courses immediately.

Going to the place where he bought the paid courses, under the stunned gaze of several apprentices, Al bought five paid courses in one go, and the five intermediate magic stones that he had just obtained were now left with seven low-level magic stones on his body, which made Al feel a pain in his flesh.

Assets have dropped to the extreme poverty line again, although it doesn't cost money to eat, drink, live and travel in the 'Crow's Nest', but some resources to assist meditation and materials for experiments are extremely costly, especially El's plan, the materials needed are not many, for the current El, the resources required for that plan can be described as astronomical, so El must start accumulating his assets step by step.

Although the tasks done by one person are simple, they pay very little, and the tasks that pay a lot are usually carried out by multiple people, so although Al doesn't like it very much, he still chooses the five-person task with the most reward, hunting salamanders!

Salamandermon is an extraordinary creature whose strongest strength can reach the level of a first-level wizard, but its ordinary individuals are basically only about the level of a mid-level wizard apprentice to a high-level wizard apprentice, so for apprentices, although hunting a salamander is dangerous, it is not the kind of danger that will kill people, and it is still within the range of their acceptance.

The main purpose of this quest is to allow the apprentices to collect the soft skin under the salamander's chest and abdomen after killing the salamander, the paper made of this material can carry extraordinary power, and can be used as the main material of the contract paper is in great demand, plus the salamander likes to destroy the medicinal fields planted by humans to devour medicinal herbs, so the reward for hunting the salamander has always been high, and the soft skin of the salamander's chest and abdomen can be sold for a good price. Therefore, this task can be said to have a very high gold content, and it is also Al's luck, otherwise he would not have been able to meet such a task team that is still short of people.

Arriving at the Raven Square in front of the gates of the 'Crow's Nest', Al saw several wizard apprentices waiting at the meeting point.

Among the four wizard apprentices, three of them are new apprentices this year, and the other ones who are slightly older are naturally the old apprentices who have already joined the 'Crow's Nest'.

For such an old apprentice. You can't be too rude to them, but you don't have to be too humble in your face to them, so Al stepped forward and gave the old apprentice a slight salute, then nodded to the other three before introducing himself.

"My name is Al, a mid-level wizard apprentice, and this mission is with you. ”

The old apprentice wasn't a man of fame, as he saw Al bow to him first. He nodded with satisfaction immediately, and then said with a smile: "We are all apprentices of the 'Crow's Nest', and this time we should work together to complete the task, so that everyone's harvest will be higher." ”

As they spoke, under the leadership of the old apprentice, they introduced themselves to Al one after another.

The old apprentice's name was Tom, a common name, but he had reached the limit of a wizard's apprenticeship. It is only one step away from the first spiritual power leap to become a first-level wizard, but this step is extremely difficult. Countless apprentices have never taken that step in their lives, and it can really be said that the difference between one step and mud is really a difference.

As for the other three apprentices, one of them was a friend of Al, who had been in contact with Al on the floating ship and had told Al about Kasapa and the others, while the other two were a man and a woman. The male is called Jonor, and the female is called Chev, and both of them also have the rank of intermediate wizard apprentice, and they are obviously also good apprentices.

Over the past three months, the new apprentices have gradually separated from each other. For example, Kasappa, who was originally contested by many formal wizards, is said to have become a high-level wizard apprentice a few days ago, you must know that three months ago, he was only a low-level wizard apprentice, and those apprentices who only have a fourth-level elemental affinity, or even a fifth-level elemental affinity, some have become low-level wizard apprentices and have just started, but some new apprentices are even lingering outside the door, and even low-level wizard apprentices have not reached it.

If Al hadn't had an encounter at the beginning, then he would probably not be much better than these fourth- and fifth-level elemental affinity apprentices.

A group of five people walked towards the depths of the Crow Forest, the vast area of the Crow Forest, the 'Crow's Nest' only occupied part of the outer part of the Crow Forest, and the deeper part of the Crow Forest was basically undeveloped.

Of course, it's not that the wizards of the 'Crow's Nest' don't have the ability to develop it, it's that they don't want to.

After all, there are many herbs and otherworldly creatures that only survive in nature, and once the wizards intervene to change the environment, these precious resources for wizards will basically have to go extinct.

Therefore, the 'Crow's Nest' did not develop the Crow Forest on a large scale, but chose to mobilize the apprentices to enter the depths of the Crow Forest to collect resources in the form of task release, which can be regarded as a disguised cycle.

Walking in the depths of the Crow Forest, Al has seen many black crows living in this forest along the way, perhaps this is the origin of the name of the Crow Forest.

After walking for about an hour, Tom found traces left by the salamander, except for some paw prints, a patch of aging scales that had fallen into the grass beside him.

Picking up the scales, Tom looked at the scales with a crack on his hand, and said, "Our luck is good, this salamander is injured, and it is just right to be the object of the five of us to run in and practice." ”

Tom apparently had some level of detection ability, and based on the marks on the ground, he felt in the direction of the injured salamander.

For more than ten minutes, Tom's face was slightly happy, and then he lowered his body and squatted in the grass, Al and the others also squatted down with Tom when they saw this, and only heard Tom open his mouth at this time: "The injured salamander is in front, and it looks like it is obviously a female beast, if you can find a few salamander eggs, then it will be worth returning now."

It's just that the mother beast that hatches the eggs is already very dangerous, and it is even more ferocious when it is injured, so you must be careful, otherwise it will be worth the loss if you are injured!"

As the words fell, Tom took a deep breath, took out an animal horn-like thing from his bosom and held it in his hand, and then he rushed out of the grass, and the horn in his hand was thrown directly, and in the firelight, the horn turned into a scalper with two slender horns, and rushed towards the salamander.

Seeing that Tom had already made a move, Al and the others also rushed out of the grass one after another, and they each performed their own special sorcery, and for a while, they also beat the salamander miserably.

Al knew very well that the witch-like equipment in his hand had already been exposed when he was on the floating ship, so he didn't need anything else, but used the power of wind and fire of the 'Hurricane Ring' and the 'Heart of Flame' to cooperate with each other to attack the salamander from a distance, but it was not outstanding.

That salamander beast was equivalent to a high-level wizard apprentice at most, and under the combined attack of El and the others, it finally fell down with a wail.

Salamandermon is a red creature resembling a giant lizard, with snake-like scales and strong defense, which is why the soft skin underneath the salamander's chest and abdomen is highly valuable.

It was obviously not the first time for Tom to hunt the salamander, but he pulled out a dagger from his waist and skillfully peeled off the scaly soft skin under the salamander's chest and abdomen and put it in the backpack behind him.

Looking at the two salamander eggs not far away, Tom immediately stepped forward and took the two eggs in his hand, and then said to Al and the others: "This time the harvest is very good, not only did I easily get a good soft skin of the salamander, but I also got two salamander eggs, which is a big harvest." ”

After Tom's words were finished, Jono, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "Senior Tom, I want to exchange the proceeds from this distribution for an egg of a salamander, I don't know if it's okay?"

Hearing Jono's words, Tom was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course it's okay, but the value of the salamander's eggs is extremely high, and it's not enough for you to just give up what you get this time, if you can pay a certain amount of magic stones, or the same amount of resources, then I don't think everyone should have other opinions." ”

Tom is obviously a veteran in dealing with such things, so for his opinion, Al and the others did not refuse, they all nodded slightly, and then waited for Jono's answer.

Jono was a little entangled, after all, this mission was not over yet, so I don't know how much he would gain, once he got a lot, then Jono would undoubtedly lose, but the salamander's egg was indeed more important to Jono, so he was ruthless, and took out a bag of magic stones directly from his arms and handed it to Tom.

"There are twenty low-level magic stones in here, which I have accumulated in the past three months, and I originally wanted to use these magic stones to buy salamander eggs, which were simply not enough, but as compensation for the additional income after giving up this mission, I think these magic stones should be enough. ”

Taking the small bag of magic stones, Tom nodded slightly, and handed a salamander egg to Jonor, and then he opened the bag and divided the twenty low-level magic stones in it equally among the other three and himself, each of whom received five low-level magic stones, which was also a good income, and for a while the five El were very satisfied with their income, and continued to march towards the depths of the Crow Forest.
