Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Turning Point
Waiting outside the ability testing center for Fan Xi'er to come out, she was holding a large pile of pieces of paper in her hand, and as soon as she came out, she threw them all into the sky. Scraps of paper were falling like a rain.
"What is this?" Luo Xue casually picked up a note on the ground, which contained a magician's team information and contact information.
"The group of experts tested a lot of projects for me, and at the end of the day, each of them gave me a business card, saying that their team would have a lot of benefits in the future, and if something I had blessed with my ability, I could sell it to them after it was rated by my ability. She sulked, and was very concerned about what was going on inside, "But I won't do it if it's so troublesome." β
Fan Xi'er ruffled her hair and said to Luo Xue: "In a few days, you can come here to receive the title certificate, and the test results for this period will be written on it and record a detailed description of my ability." β
Sure enough, Fan Xi'er's ability was favored by them, Luo Xue was very proud in his heart, he threw away the piece of paper he had just picked up, and walked side by side with Fan Xi'er.
Then Luo Xue said to Fan Xi'er: "I just accepted a commission in the Adventurers Association next door, there is a time limit of three days, but if it is successful, you can get 100 silver coins." That way you don't need to go back. β
"You don't think you're going to take on any strange missions. Fan Xi'er glanced at him and said angrily. knew that she was out of kindness, but this somewhat mocking tone made Luo Xue a little uncomfortable.
Luo Xue shook her head and said, "I'm going to the Imperial Earth Academy to find Mentor Claire and accompany me?"
"I'm not going......" She suddenly changed direction and left Luo Xue, and quickened her pace and ran towards the inn.
Someone is following! Luo Xue keenly felt the flickering figure behind her. He stole a glance back, but found nothing. "Wait a minute!" Luo Xue shouted to Fan Xi'er, and while catching up with Fan Xi'er, she pulled her into the alley next to her, and made several big turns in three or two clicks. "I can handle it myself. Fan Xi'er was still struggling at first, but settled down after Luo Xue signaled to whisper. The two of them hid inside, slightly revealing their heads to observe the situation outside.
A person appeared outside the alley, it was the veiled elf who had tested Fan Xi'er's ability before. She searched left and right, but could not find any trace of the two men, so she said something, and a seedling with a green leaf appeared in her hand.
The leaves of the seedlings held the stones that Fan Xi'er had blessed before, and under the guidance of the elf, they pointed in a direction, which was where the two were hiding.
Fan Xi'er and Luo Xue glanced at each other, probably knowing what she was going to do, and sighed. Seeing that they couldn't dodge, they simply walked out of the street and took a look at the elves who had come over. "Ahh "What's the matter with you?" Luo Xue asked, her muscles tense, ready to give her a dismount. "Don't worry, don't worry!" the elf shook his head and waved his hand again and again, saying that he had no ill intentions.
She quickly explained the reason for her stalking, relieving the tension. "I just saw that this sister's ability helped our team a lot, so I wanted to come over and ask her to help us. The elf said softly, expressing his sincerity. "My name is Eve, and I'm the leader of the Young Sprout Mercenary Regiment, and I thought it was more sincere to come and see where you lived. It turned out to be a terrible situation, and it seems that my stealth skills are not good enough. She chuckled softly, even though it was covered by a veil, her beautiful face was still blurred through it.
If you don't find out, you're going to keep following it, it's not about stealth at all. Luo Xue said in her heart. "Our team is a young sprout mercenary group composed of elves, mainly serving and working hard for the country, so we urgently need capable people to help us, of course, this help is paid, we will only buy the items after your blessing at a high price, and it is completely legal. She handed Fan Xi'er, who was behind Luo Xue, the certificate of the mercenary group certified by the country of the forest, which showed that she was the leader of the mercenary group.
"When we came, we saw a heretic, his ability is very similar to the ability you just released, does it also belong to your team?" Thinking of a crazy infidel made Luo Xue vigilant.
Eve said categorically, "Our abilities belong to the realm of magic, and they are innate abilities. The heretics, on the other hand, are fanatics, their abilities are unclear, but they are definitely not with us. So rest assured, we won't be complicit in them. "And this seedling, this is my awakening ability, and it is also the proof of my country's title of 'lively sprout'. It can record the breath of a creature and indicate its location at a certain distance, and it will grow slowly. Such an ability is unique. She flipped it with her bare hands, and a seedling appeared in the palm of her hand, and the leaves swayed gently, and there was no wind automatically.
Luo Xue listened to Eve's words and turned her head to look at Fan Xi'er.
She said through the veil, "Aren't you still going to the Imperial Earth Academy, and I'll escort your sister back to the inn to talk about cooperation." β
It turned out that his previous words were heard, and before he could reply, Fan Xi'er shouted again: "I'm not his sister!"
"That's right. Luo Xue agreed angrily. Leave Eve where she is.
"So...... You ......" Eve looked at Luo Xue, and then at Fan Xi'er.
"Of course not!" Fan Xi'er said with her voice raised.
Luo Xue felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and finally hurriedly said goodbye under the urging of Fan Xi'er's fierce eyes and went to the Imperial Earth Academy.
When will he be able to obtain the title himself?Hearing which elf also has a title, Luo Xue sighed and walked all the way to the gate of the Imperial Earth Academy.
Even if it's not the first time I've seen it, the tall buildings leading to the wide marble street in front of me stand majestically with translucent earthy yellow walls.
The name floating in the air danced and shone in the wind, reflecting a bright yellow light, and such a thoroughly magical creation told him that this was the sacred realm of magic.
Standing guard at the door, two elite guards assigned by Overwatch stood solemnly, one shield in one and a sword in the other, looking at the past apprentices and magicians with a cold and unforgiving gaze. The two guards checked their enrollment certificates and passes before letting them in. "Hello, I would like to visit Mentor Claire at the Imperial Land Academy. At last it was his turn, and he timidly asked, after all, he had nothing but a brooch. "Please issue a pass certificate or enrollment certificate" The blunt words stopped Luo Xue from the door and did not let him enter at all
Luo Xue took out the brooch given to him by the leader of the Exploration Mercenary Group: "Isn't this okay?, someone told me that I can use this to find Claire's mentor." β
"Nextβ" The guard's cold words completely ignored Luo Xue's inquiry, leaving him out alive.
"I can't even get in the door...... he was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up, and asked along the queue one by one, only to find that neither the students who entered the school nor the magic apprentices who were studying for the next semester knew this person called Claire's mentor, and even a middle-aged man wearing the big magician logo on his chest made a decision to him: "I know the names of all the magic tutors in the academy, and none of them are called Claire." β
"That regiment leader Eon shouldn't have lied to me......" asked until the end of the team, and when he saw the last person shaking his head, he didn't know how to react for a while, and he felt helpless for the first time.
The first time he entered the city, he lost his money, he was almost penniless, and now even Claire can't be found. No, you have to find him.
Luo Xue decided that in the academy, he would ask one for every person who went out, and he would always run into Claire! He slapped his cheek, trying to sober himself up, and barely recovered a little motivation, but when he thought of Fan Ge saying that magicians are mysterious people who don't go out all year round, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Either way, the first thing to do is to make money, his eyes became determined, and he immediately took out the order sheet he had received from the Adventurers' Guild in his arms and read it carefully, only to accidentally touch a place with his fingers.
"Huh? Is it also made of magical materials? You can drag a page. He clicked his finger on the right edge of the order and pulled out another page from the right.
Client: "Claire, the Wizard Mentor." β
What a coincidence, the client's name is also Claire. He laughed to himself, and then suddenly reacted.
No! He thought about it in his mind, and then the corners of his mouth went up slightly, knowing that he had taken a good fortune.
First of all, Captain Ein gave Luo Xue a brooch and told me to go to the Imperial Earth Academy to find Claire, if his words are correct, there is indeed such a person as Claire in the Imperial Earth Academy.
And if you can intersect with a mercenary and owe a friendship, the most likely is that Claire has a commissioned mission and it is completed by the Exploration Mercenary Group.
And one of the great magicians in the academy said that there was no such thing as Claire, and he had no reason to deceive me.
The result is: Claire is a pseudonym used by a person when he goes to the Adventurer's Association and the Mercenary Association to issue commissions!
But even if he knew that he was the real Claire, after completing the mission and reporting the traces of the icetail insect to the Adventurers' Association, he probably wouldn't come out to thank him personally. And as an ordinary person, he doesn't have much right to invite him out to meet with him. Who would take a one-sided word and convey to him the message that "that person has your token"? The only hope is one chance -- to catch the icetail worm alive!
It's no longer about making money, but after getting the result, he only has this goal in mind: "Catch the icetail worm alive!"
The icetail insect is not to be seen as a bug, and its personality is relatively docile, but it is still a medium magical beast, only slightly lower than the clawed bear that Luo Xue encountered. Its chilly tail can freeze the ground through the air, it can also shoot ice picks and tracking ice bombs, and it has the ability to change color and hide in the woods.
But Luo Xue is confident that he can track it down, the only problem is how to capture it alive, no matter how he thinks he can't deal with it, just when he has a hint of timidity, the words that Fan Ge said come to his mind: "In my eyes, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it has its own weaknesses." Whether it is human nature or flesh, finding these weaknesses can find the turning point of victory. "It's a one-man fight, but at this point he already has teammates.
He mustered up the courage to walk back to the inn and said to himself, "Fan Xi'er, use your blessing power to help me a little." β
