With mage levels and spell slots in place, it's natural to start moving from theory to practice.

Due to the high degree of similarity in the magical theories of the two worlds, some of the spell models differ by less than five percent, and some even have the exact same name and effect.

Therefore, Zuo Si, who has a solid theoretical foundation, learns quite quickly.

In just a few hours or so, he has mastered a series of spells such as [Increase Resistance], [Detect Toxicity], [Detect Magic], [Reading Magic], [Stun Technique], [Flash Technique], [Light Technique], [Freezing Ray], [Lightning Tremor], [Sudden Shock], [Strike Necromancy], [Mage's Hand], [Communication], [Arrow Shooting], [Arcane Mark], [Magic Trick] and so on.

Although the proficiency level is still low, it can at least be released while staying focused.

And despite the fact that these spells consume very little mana, and they have almost no ability to cause serious injuries or death, they are very useful.

The most typical ones are detection spells, as well as [Communication], [Repair], and [Copying], which can provide considerable convenience for daily life.

Especially after learning [Detect Toxin], Zuo Si no longer needs to let the summoned soldiers test the poison for him.

After casting a spell, it is clear whether there is poison in the food and water.

As for [Lightning Tremor], [Flash], [Acid Splash], [Sudden Shock], [Freezing Ray], and [Vertigo], although they can't kill people, they can also make the other person uncomfortable and painful.

This slows down the enemy's approach and attack, buying time for the next move.

[Archery] can even launch a crossbow bolt like a light crossbow to hit a target at a distance of no more than 24 meters.

After learning this magic, you only need to carry a bundle of crossbow arrows, and you can hide in the shadows and sneak up on cold arrows.

If you apply some poison that seals the throat with blood, the effect will naturally be better.

"Not bad. It seems that this book "From Apprentice to Mage, Tricks You Should Master" is really worth it, and it actually includes so many zero ring spells. ”

Zuo Si put down the slightly heavy book in his hand, and a very happy expression appeared on his face.

Although the value of the Zero Ring Trick itself is not high, even the lowest-level mages can master a few or even a dozen, but it still makes people feel that the money is well spent.

Just as he was about to set his sights on the more difficult and powerful spells, his stomach suddenly let out a gurgling sound.

When I looked up at the window, it turned out that it was already dark.

Zuo Si, who was obsessed with practicing magic, hadn't eaten anything for almost six or seven hours, and only drank a little mint tea, which was quite characteristic of the local area.

"Master, it's time for us to go to dinner." The soldier took the opportunity to remind.

"Okay, then let's go fill our stomachs first."

Zuo Si nodded, and quickly stuffed the books on the table and the notes he had recorded into his satchel.

Given the audacity and rampant nature of the Port Carlin halfling thieves, he didn't dare to keep these valuable things in his room.

Otherwise, when I came back, I found that I was patronized by thieves, and I am afraid that there would be no place to cry.

Packing up their things, the two quickly left the room and followed the creaking wooden staircase to the first-floor hall.

I don't know when this place has already become bustling.

A large number of sailors who had just stepped off the ship, as well as workers who had been busy all day, gathered in groups.

They drank cheap beer with water and ate a humble set meal of two copper plates.

This so-called "set meal" is basically a plate of cold-cut meat that has been sitting for an unknown amount of time, but has not yet gone bad;

a bowl of chowder soup made with unshelled dried shrimp, seaweed and baby clams;

two of the cheapest and not very fresh herrings;

The final staple food is a piece of black bread that can be used as a brick.

If you don't eat it in soup, you will definitely be able to spoil your teeth.

Cheap beer mixed with water costs an additional copper plate to buy.

This is the truest portrayal of the people at the bottom of Port Carlin, except for the slums and slaves.

Although life is not good and you can't save much savings, it's still okay to fill your stomach.

Seeing Zuo Si coming down from upstairs, the innkeeper immediately rushed out of the counter, bent down and bowed deeply.

"Good evening, Your Excellency Soss.

What are you going to eat tonight?

We just got a batch of fresh oysters here.

Whether it's eaten raw in a dipping sauce or grilled with garlic, minced ginger and a few other spices, it's delicious.

Also, today's specialty is steamed mackerel and pepper mutton soup.

I guarantee that the mackerel was only caught from the sea in the afternoon, and the sheep was freshly killed at noon, absolutely clean and hygienic. ”

Obviously, the reason why he is so attentive is entirely because of the advice of the leader of the Thieves' Guild, Epke.

Although the innkeeper did not know what the relationship between the two was.

But from the attitude shown by Epke the last time they had dinner together, he knew that no matter what the relationship between the two parties was, he would definitely not be able to provoke him.

"Then have more grilled oysters, a large plate of steamed mackerel, a steaming pot of pepper mutton soup, and some soft and fresh white bread.

Don't forget to put more chopped green onions!

The bread must be soft enough!

Instead of alcohol, have some freshly squeezed coconut water or lemon juice with honey.

Besides, prepare an identical dinner for the gentleman in the next room for me, and let the delivery man feed him.

Finally, bring enough fresh meat and fish to feed my pet. ”

After that, Zuo Si directly took out a gold coin and handed it to the other party, and then walked straight to the window seat reserved for himself.

Seeing the golden glow of the coin in his hand, and feeling the weight heavier than any metal of the same volume, the innkeeper immediately smiled.

Shouted at his employees at the top of his throat to make them move quickly.

Especially in the kitchen, even if you put down the work at hand first, you must definitely get the food you ordered ready and served within fifteen minutes.

As for those poor people who can only afford to eat a cheap set meal of two copper plates and drink a cup of copper plate and a cup of water and beer, let them wait and talk about it first.

After all, a guest who only costs three or five copper plates for a meal, and a guest who can spend a gold coin on a meal, the innkeeper knows very well who to satisfy first.

Soon, amid the eyes of others full of surprise, envy, and jealousy, several large plates of food with an enticing aroma were served.

Oysters, in particular, grilled with garlic, ginger and spices will make those who have never tasted spices want to go.

In addition, Zuo Si looks like a boy about ten years old, and some people even have the idea of going out to grab a handful.

But it didn't take long for them to be forced to come to their senses.

For the soldier drew half of the dagger that glowed with cold light from his waist, and at the same time swept the hall with a sharp gaze.

"Damn! Which aristocrat or wealthy merchant's young master is this? I even brought a guard when I went out. ”

A middle-aged man with a beard and a fleshy face cursed in a low voice.

A man beside him, who also looked quite ugly, rolled his eyes angrily and said sarcastically: "Do you want to do a vote?"

Stop dreaming!

It is said that the other day many people saw the boy walking into the inn with the chief of Epuk, and still having a meal.

I promise if you rob him.

Successfully or unsuccessfully, the corpse will be hung on the wall to dry after a few hours. ”

"That's right! Be careful if you have a life to make money and not to spend it. ”

The other younger man nodded approvingly.

It is common sense not to provoke the Thieves' Guild to make a living in Port Carlin.

Except for the dark elf ranger - Trist Duchaden, who successfully defeated a thief guild with a few powerful partners, so far no second person has been able to leave unharmed after provoking the thief guild.

A few months ago, a paladin of the god of justice clashed with a thief guild in order to save a child who was forced into slavery because he couldn't pay his debts.

As a result, just three days later, the body of the paladin was found in the sewers.

This shows how powerful the Thieves' Guild has become in this city, and even the temple has no choice but to take them.
