Although the head of this rock village was very kind and invited Jiarong to stay in the village, Jiarong still took his leave.

The successive blows made her feel depressed and puzzled at the same time.

Why did what happened to her when she went down the mountain be completely different from what the old mage said?

In the past, the old mage told her stories that the mages had subdued demons and exterminated demons, and the people were grateful, and then troubadours from all over the world wrote hymns to praise the great mage.

But what I saw was that the villagers who were originally oppressed in the story could not only coexist peacefully with these monsters and monsters, but also use these monsters and monsters reasonably for welfare!

The world has changed too much, right? If you can't subdue demons and eliminate demons and eliminate harm for the people, what else can a mage do?

Can she only be like Jasmine, the witch of Stone Mill Village at the foot of the mountain of Gree Island, to help the villagers find lost items and treat some minor injuries? She had the appearance of Jasmine in her mind—a nose like a cave in the northwest that grew abruptly between her forehead and thin lips, her hair was a gray and black knot, and a gray wool shawl covered her entire body, and she spent her days in a small log cabin full of medicinal herbs......

If that's the case, after a few years, he will become Jasmine Second, can he still become the most powerful archmage?

......

Jiarong stopped suddenly, and she turned around to see a carriage drawn by a spotted horse with no cargo coming after her.

"Phew—" The driver stopped his horse behind Jiarong, a man in his thirties, with his unkempt hair that covered his forehead.

Jiarong looked at him, but did not speak.

"My name is Li Dafu, and I am from the previous village. The driver spoke loudly, "I just saw you talking to the chief of Rock Village, and I know you're looking for something to do." ”

"Grace of Gree Island is here to help. Jiarong responded politely.

Li Dafu let go of the reins, jumped off his horse, and let the zebra gnaw at the nettle bushes by the roadside. He shook his long hair, then looked at Jiarong and said, "You are a mage apprentice, you are going to the temple, I can send you to the temple." ”

Jiarong looked at him and didn't speak.

"Well, I'm looking for you, that's right," Li Dafu shook his head again, maybe he thought his head shaking action was very handsome, but he didn't know that the body odor on his body stronger than that of a zebra was enough to make people retreat.

"You help me catch a water demon, water banshee¹, and I can pay you a moon coin. ”

"Catch a water demon, where is she making trouble?" Listening to Li Dafu's words, Jiarong's eyes lit up, and he could finally subdue demons and eliminate demons!

"No, no, I've heard that the water banshee, the water banshee, is usually very good-looking and suitable for a wife. A person I know, the fat man Chanton, married a snail demon as his wife, and the snail demon not only has a good-looking face and a good figure, but also is very virtuous, and takes care of the family in an orderly manner, "At first, Li Dafu seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and the more he spoke, the smoother he became.

"And marrying a water banshee as a wife, you don't have to pay a gift money, you don't have to deal with a lot of mother's family, it's much cheaper and more convenient than marrying a girl in the village or a neighboring village!

Jiarong looked at the young farmer in front of him who was falling into a beautiful fantasy and shook his head.

"You don't want to? I can add another fifty copper coins, not more. Li Dafu saw Jiarong shaking his head, feeling very strange, and increased the price again.

"Since you didn't mess around or do anything bad, I can't help you catch her. Jiarong shook his head.

The old mage said that to subdue demons and eliminate demons and eliminate harm for the people, we must first confirm that this "demon" and this "demon" are harmful. If not, then he shouldn't be arrested. Because this world is not only human, but also thousands of other living beings, and they all have the right to live in this world.

"How could I not have done anything bad, she made me unable to marry a wife, so I will arrest her! She will be my wife!" Li Dafu shouted angrily, and began to speak a little incoherently and unreasonably.

"You don't have the power, don't dare to catch it, don't dare to say it earlier, it will cause me to waste my time!" Seeing that Jiarong still shook his head, the young farmer jumped into the carriage angrily and shook his head at Jiarong, "Drive-" drove the carriage away, raising dust all the way, forgetting that he had said not long ago that he could send Jiarong to the temple.

Looking at the oncoming dust, Jiarong silently recited a dust avoidance spell.

When the dust slammed into Jiarong's front of him an arm's length, it was as if it had hit a transparent cover, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Jiarong looked at the carriage that was gone, smiled and flicked his fingers, and the flying dust suddenly changed direction and rolled in the direction of the carriage.

Looking at the dust and smoke rolling away with the carriage in the afterglow of the sunset, Jiarong couldn't help laughing, "I still want to marry a beautiful wife, and I don't look at my stupid face!"

After laughing, she walked happily towards a small hill not far away, and tonight she was going to camp out in the wilderness!

After eating some dry food and drinking water in the woods, he picked the largest tree, which had a horizontal branch more than a man high, and jumped on it.

Hanging the wand on a tree within reach, with his head resting on his backpack and lying on the branch, Jiarong did not fall asleep immediately.

She misses the cabin on Mt. Toribe a little bit, and the old mage.

In the past, every night, the old mage would tell her stories, sometimes telling anecdotes about his own youthful travels, sometimes telling allusions, and occasionally telling Jiarong's favorite story of "subduing demons and eliminating demons". Now that the old mage lives alone in the mountains, who will tell his story?

Thinking of this, Jiarong couldn't help but have a sour nose.

At first she didn't want to go down the mountain, but both the old mage and Jasmine said that the birds would leave the nest when they grew up. Moreover, the old mage said that he had taught himself everything he could, and that if he wanted to become the most powerful mage, he would have to get the temple and continue his studies, and then travel all over the world to sharpen himself.

Ahem, there is no way, when you get to the temple, write a letter to the old mage. Jiarong rolled over on the trunk of the tree, adjusted his position, and prepared for sleep, but heard a rumbling thunder overhead.

Do you want people to sleep well?

Large trees are susceptible to lightning strikes, and the ground is prone to water accumulation. Jiarong regretted it a little at this time, he should have stayed in Rock Village at that time, at least he could have a room to sleep peacefully.

She sighed, took out the smallest piece of spirit stone from her backpack, stretched out her index finger, skillfully drew a few strokes on the stone with her fingernails, then put the spirit stone beside her, lay down, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Because of the spiritual power released by this spiritual stone, it can create an invisible spiritual power hut for Jiarong, which can block the wind and rain outside and isolate the thunder.

Jiarong slept soundly, so he didn't see a black shadow struggling from the bushes next to him, and he jumped under the branch where Jiarong was lying before he fell down with confidence.
