Class Skill: Fireball Lv.1

……

The two options are pretty much the same! In this case-

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand. He was holding the staff.

Immediately afterwards, a sense of weightlessness enveloped Zheng Zhuo. He began to fall downward, and all the way down—

Suddenly.

All the sounds were gone.

A few seconds later.

Bursting cheers and laughter erupted in my ears.

What happened? Zheng Zhuo blinked. He slowly looked around clearly—

He was in a low tavern made of paulownia wood.

Floors, window frames, tables and chairs, bar counters. Everything is made with a very rough process, crookedly. The tavern is not big, but now it is packed with people. Some are still human-looking, and some -

(That's it...... Long ears...... And...... Bucktooth...... )”

Others have exaggerated facial structures. Some of them are very tall, some are very short. Some have green skin, and some even have lizard-like tails.

Zheng Zhuo moved slightly. He got up from where he had sat - the weightlessness of the rapid fall was still in his head, and now, as if he were drunk, he staggered.

But no one will pay attention to him. Because everyone here is drunk.

Laughter, roaring, and a variety of dialects make the tavern noisy! The tall, hideous-looking drinker raised his glass, and the glass collided with each other, and the wine splashed on the head of the shorter drinker among them. However, the short drinker didn't care at all and laughed.

It's so noisy! Zheng Zhuo staggered through the crowd holding the short staff—the only thing he carried. He wanted to get out of the house first—the smell of alcohol in the air was too strong—it would have drunk an elephant! The smell of wine has already made Zheng Zhuo's head dizzy-

"Drink! Drink it on!! ”

When passing by the center of the crowd, Zheng Zhuo suddenly heard someone laughing and shouting in the most lively place under the stairs of the tavern.

"Why don't you drink it! Drink fast, drink more - what are you afraid of! ”

Zheng Zhuo looked there.

"All - I pay for !!"

Everyone cheered together, almost knocking off the roof. A skinny human was tossed up by a stout orc, holding a glittering gold and silver treasure in his hands, and a necklace of emerald and pearls around his neck, laughing.

Yes.

As the human was thrown to the top, Zheng Zhuo saw his face.

That face, he'd just seen—

- In the scene he saw on the [Orphan] card.

……

Rustle.

In the tavern, the crowd suddenly rioted.

What happened?

The drunken and swaggering human opened his hazy drunken eyes and looked to the side.

There, people were screaming and swearing in confusion, as if to say "bastard", "what are you doing", "you stepped on my head".

At this time.

He saw a young human male climb from the crowd onto the shoulders of the tallest male orc.

Hey? How to deal with it...... Affair......

Just before he could react.

He saw the young man waving his staff.

"-You-"

Yes.

"-this-"

The short staff is like ......

"-stupid-"

…… distance from their heads......

"-——!!!"

…… It's getting closer.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the human man's eyes darkened and he fell softly.

The last thing that came to his mind before he lost consciousness was......

(with a staff...... Shouldn't it be a mage? )”

……

The next day. Morning.

Same bar, same location. The difference is that most of the drinkers have long since left.

Calm had returned to the tavern, save for a few adventurer-looking people, occasionally pushing open the wooden door at the entrance.

Boom.

In the corner, the thin and short man who had a treat yesterday knocked a large glass of draft beer in front of Zheng Zhuo.

The man's head is wrapped in gauze. Compared to yesterday, it looks really miserable......

…… However, there are people who are even worse.

"Oh, I really can't imagine that you are so poor, and you don't have a child on you! Aren't all mages very rich—especially young mages—all of them are young masters? ”

The man banged his knuckles on the table, looked at Zheng Zhuo, whose face was blue and black, and his body was covered with bandages, and his mouth made a "tsk" sound.

"Don't talk about losing me money, you can't even pay for your own medical bills! Or did I pad it for you—what's the matter with you? ”

“…… Belch...... I don't know ...... either."

Zheng Zhuo held his head in his hands, not knowing if he was still in a hangover, or if he was not well after a concussion by the angry drunks.

"I could be...... The amount of alcohol is too bad...... Plus airsickness......"

"Dizzy what?"

"No, it's fine."

"I said you—"

The man banged the table again with his knuckles.

Zheng Zhuo raised his eyes.

[Identification] was opened. Zheng Zhuo saw the information on the other side.

……

【Zhuang Yusheng】

【Class: Rogue Lv.1】

[Skill: Space Target, Stealth Lv1]

……

Zheng Zhuo looked at himself again.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Class: Mage Lv1]

[Skill: Identification, Quick Cast, Fireball Lv1]

……

"Hey, are you listening?"

Seeing that Zheng Zhuo was distracted, the thief named Zhuang Yusheng knocked harder.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head blankly.

Seeing Zheng Zhuo's performance, Zhuang Yusheng couldn't help but sigh exaggeratedly.

"Oh my God...... What happened to me? Forget it, you can at least tell me why you hit me, right? It's not like this if you drink too much, right? ”

"Ah......h

Zheng Zhuo rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"Because you're not taking the right thing."

"What?"

"You took the treasure in the blue dragon's lair, right? You're taking the wrong thing, you're missing the most important thing...... Soon, this place will be ruined as a result. You'll be done by then—"

"—blah, blah, blah!"

Zhuang Yusheng leaned forward violently and covered Zheng Zhuo's mouth.

"Shh

His eyes became nervous.

"I've drunk a little too much, but my breath is okay, right? What a blue dragon, what I tell everyone is that I am a treasure dug from the ground of my house...... Where did you hear about dragons? ”

Zheng Zhuo thought for a moment.

"I saw it when I dreamed."

“…… I'll make sure again, you're a mage, right? Not a shaman, a priest...... What the hell. ”

"I feel like I'm a mage."

After all, that's what [identification] says.

"Forget it." Zhuang Yusheng sighed exaggeratedly again and sat back in his seat, "You are such a weirdo!" If I bother with these things with you, I guess I will never be able to figure it out...... So. ”

He suddenly leaned over again.

"What do you think I'm missing?"

"A sapphire." Zheng Zhuo gestured, "It's about the size of a thumb, and there is a crack on it......"

Zhuang Yusheng's face changed a little.

Come to think of it, he had an impression of it.

"The sapphire isn't big, and it's a flawed product." He said.

"Why do you say that thing is important?"

Why?

Zheng Zhuo didn't think of a reason for a while.

And [subliminal voting] will always pop up at such times.
