Chapter 2: The Unlucky Mage

It was a late September day, and it was very cold in City B. Because Xu Yue works in a heating company, this time is the busiest time for their company, so he works overtime until more than nine o'clock in the evening before returning home.

When he came to City B, in order to save money, he rented a 40-square-meter cottage in a very remote area. Six hundred a month, which is quite cheap.

At first, I just used this place as a temporary place to stay, thinking that I would be able to move out soon. However, the pair of house prices and rents went away with the degree that could infuriate Bolt, Xu Yue really couldn't catch up with these two, and in the end he could only continue to make up, which was three years.

Because the area where he lived was relatively remote and there was a highway next to it, a group of wealthy second ancestors used it as a place for drag racing. However, these people usually go on the road after 10 o'clock when no one is around, so there have been no collisions.

"Why did these guys come out so early today!"

Hearing the roar of a motor in the distance, Xu Yue's brows furrowed, and then he quickly got off the road and walked to the woods next to him.

In pursuit of excitement, these drag racing guys drive like crazy, and if they are hit and injured, their lives will definitely be ruined, and he doesn't want to take this risk.

As soon as he walked into the woods next to him, he was stunned by the sudden scene on the road.

In the dark night, a fist-sized, jewel-like light suddenly appeared about a meter on the road in the middle of the road. Then this brilliant light expands outward on a horizontal plane like a thin film, and finally forms an oval-shaped light gate about two meters high.

Then he saw a man come out of the gate of light. Through the light of the light gate, it can be seen that the person who came was wearing a robe with a hood and holding a wooden staff with a strange shape in his hand, and the whole person gave people a very strange feeling.

Before Xu Yue could take a closer look at the mysterious person who came out of the light gate, the roar of the car had already come to him in the next moment.

I saw two dazzling lights on the road rushing towards the mysterious man almost at lightning speed.

The car was too fast to dodge, only to see that the mysterious man was slightly stunned, and quickly put the strange wooden staff in his hand to the ground lightly, and the next moment I saw that some points of light suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious man's body and began to converge in front of him.

Looking at the convergence of those points of light, it is clearly a shield-like outline. However, the mysterious man made a suspicious voice at this time, and it was obvious that there was something in front of him that was beyond his expectations.

Sure enough, before those points of light could be completely condensed, the rushing car had already crashed into the incomplete layer of light shield with a deafening roar.

The layer of light shield that looked like it was composed of fireflies showed unexpected tenacity, and I saw that the sports car that rushed over seemed to be mounted on a city wall, and the entire front of the car was instantly destroyed under the strong impact force, and the driver inside directly hit the front windshield and flew out under the strong inertia.

Originally, if this was the case, the mysterious man who appeared from the light gate would be fine, but the next moment another sports car sped at speed and crashed directly into the rear of the previous car.

The mutilated shield of light seemed to be unable to withstand such a violent impact anymore, and instantly collapsed, scattered into a point of light and disappeared into the air.

The two sports cars, which had almost disintegrated, slammed directly into the mysterious man with the remaining inertia. Two sports cars tumbled over and fell into the woods after smashing down a few trees on the side of the road.

When Xu Yue came back to his senses, there were two drivers of the sports car, one of whom flew out more than ten meters at this time, and was hanging on a tree not far away, with abnormal bending of his hands and feet in many places. The other neck was turned to the back of the body, and it was clear that the dead could not die anymore.

And the mysterious man was even worse, he was hit by the sports car for more than 20 meters, and rolled on the ground for more than a dozen times like a rag doll that was thrown out before stopping.

Looking at the mysterious person who was crawling face down on the ground in the distance without moving, Xu Yue couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, the expression in his eyes changed violently, and he was measuring something in his heart.

It was only a few seconds later that he gritted his teeth and ran to the mysterious man's side, crouching down and carefully turning the other's body over so that he was facing up.

"Huh, foreigner?" He couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the mysterious man's appearance under the hood.

This is a man who looks to be in his fifties, with a pale yellow head, a high nose bridge and a face shape and skin color peculiar to foreigners, which can be distinguished from Chinese at a glance.

At this time, the mysterious man's face was covered with bruises and scars, apparently from the abrasions on the road when he was knocked into the air. Blood continued to flow out of his mouth, and what was even more frightening was that the blood was black, mixed with some fragments, which looked like broken internal organs.

The mysterious man's injury made Xu Yue's heart cold, he had learned a little first aid, and quickly checked the mysterious man's body carefully, and the demerits after the examination made his heart sink to the bottom.

Judging from the current rough situation, the mysterious man has broken at least six ribs, one of which may have been inserted into the lungs. His right arm was fractured in three places, and almost all of them turned into a multi-knuckle stick. The bone in the left leg was broken from the thigh, and the whole leg was twisted into a bizarre angle.

A large black and purple bag bulged out on the left forehead of the mysterious man, looking at the location and potentially hurting the brain.

Just when Xu Yue couldn't help but give up and turned around to leave, in case he got into trouble. The mysterious man who was lying suddenly woke up, only to see him open his swollen eyes with difficulty, and when he saw someone in front of him, he suddenly flashed a trace of vigilance, but then he was replaced by a painful look.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yue gave up her intention to leave and hurriedly asked, "How do you feel, can you still move, do you want me to call an ambulance to take you to the hospital!"

The mysterious man shuddered and said something, but the language directly made him dumbfounded.

As a guy who has only passed the English Level 4 make-up exam three times, Xu Yue didn't understand a syllable of the mysterious man's words, not to mention that he was sure that the language spoken by the mysterious man was definitely not English.

The two of them said a few words to each other, and the mysterious man was obviously aware of the language barrier between the two sides, and after a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth and raised his uninjured left hand and closed his eyes.

Just when Xu Yue was inexplicable about his actions, suddenly a white light flashed in the mysterious man's hand, and a scroll two fingers wide and about ten centimeters or so appeared in the mysterious man's hand.

I saw that the mysterious man seemed to be struggling to tap the scroll with his hand, and suddenly the entire scroll unfolded out of thin air, and a mysterious text appeared on it, and the next moment the scroll suddenly turned into a white light and shot into Xu Yue's eyebrows.

Suddenly, Xu Yue felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stuffy stick, and his whole person became dizzy, and his entire consciousness became blurred. Fortunately, it only took a dozen seconds to recover.

Seeing that Xu Yue had opened his eyes, the mysterious man opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out two words: "Staff ......"

Xu Yue swore that he had not learned the language spoken by the mysterious man before, let alone heard it, but he understood it.

After being slightly stunned, he reacted, not thinking carefully about why such a miraculous thing happened, he looked around, and now the strange wooden staff in the hand of the mysterious man fell not far away.

The only thing that can be related to the word "staff" on the mysterious person is probably this wooden staff.

Ran over and took the fallen wooden staff back and handed it to the mysterious man, only to see the mysterious man holding the staff with his left hand and closing his eyes again.

The next moment, strange things were born again. I saw a strange pattern flash on the top of the wooden staff, and then milky white light began to converge on the top of the wooden staff.

This time the scene is somewhat similar to the previous situation when the mysterious people gathered their light shields, the difference is that this time the light point is white, while the previous light point is golden. The convergence of the points of light was much slower than before, and it took a full minute for the spots of light to form a milky white fist-sized blob. Then I saw this ball of light fall downward, and instantly turned into a white light, enveloping the mysterious man.

The mysterious man's face quickly improved after being shrouded in this brilliance, and even some small wounds on his face were recovering with a degree that was visible to the naked eye.

Xu Yue was already stunned by the mysterious man's continuous methods, and a word suddenly popped into his mind.

"Magician!"

Isn't this scene very similar to the magician in the novel, with a hooded robe, a scroll with strange abilities, and a wooden staff to condense a ball of light that can heal injuries. This qiē is very much in line with the image of the magician in the novel.

The mysterious man looked at Xu Yue and nodded, "Thank you for being kind, but I think we left here first, and I feel that someone is approaching." ”

The mysterious man's statement made Xu Yue's heart jump sharply, the movement of this car accident was too big, and it had already attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, and he could faintly hear the voices approaching at this time.

After discussing with the mysterious man, he carefully picked up the mysterious man on his back and walked quickly towards his home.

After arriving home, Xu Yue carefully settled the mysterious man in the bedroom, and then discussed with him how to treat his injuries. But he saw that the mysterious man showed a bitter smile and waved his hand at him.

"Young man, I think you've probably guessed that. I'm not from this world. ”

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, then nodded and said, "Yes, the amazing skills you have shown are indeed something that we don't have here, it's like we're just a legendary magician here!"

"Well, is there a magician in this world? IMHO, the magic elements in this world are only a few tenths of my hometown, and it's hard to imagine that anyone can cultivate magic in such a thin magic element!" the mysterious man was slightly stunned after listening to Xu Yue's words.

But then he shook his head and said that he didn't care about this anymore and said, "Yes, although I don't know why there are legends of magicians in your world that is completely unsuitable for cultivating magic, but I am indeed a magician. Kindness...... An unlucky magician!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Yue's heart beat violently. He had guessed the identity of the mysterious person before, and the fact that his guess came true at this time made his heart full of surprises.

Seeing Xu Yue's appearance, the mysterious magician smiled helplessly: "It seems that you are very interested in magicians, or magic!"

Xu Yue nodded excitedly and said, "Of course, magic is a legendary mysterious power in our place. Our world follows a different civilization system, which is completely different from the civilization of magic, although it is not inferior to the civilization of magic. But the mysterious magic of the legend is still very desirable. ”

After hearing his words, the magician nodded and said, "Indeed, the world of magic is so mysterious that once people start to explore, they can't stop, and many people will devote their lives to the exploration of magic once they come into contact with this magical power." If it were a regular encounter, I might have led you through, but now ......"

Listening to this magician's words, Xu Yue's heart couldn't help but tighten. To tell the truth, his personality is the kind of person who has more than one thing and is better than less, usually if he encounters a car accident or something, the most he can do is help call the police and call an ambulance, and he will definitely not make up for it himself.

It's not that he has a cold personality and ignores human life, but that if this society wants to do good, it takes much more than just kindness. If you are unlucky to meet the kind of person who saved him, but the other party beat up the person who relied on you, and the family was ruined and killed.

The reason why he saved this magician this time was because he saw the strange scene when this magician appeared. Instinctively, I wanted to seize this opportunity to find the door to the mysterious world. But apparently the magician had no intention of leading him into the mysterious world.

Seeing the disappointment and eagerness in Xu Yue's eyes, the magician shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm unwilling to lead you into the gate of the magic world. After all, if you can lend a helping hand in my time of crisis, I will take you as my apprentice if I rely on this alone in normal times. ”

After seeing Xu Yue's puzzled expression, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You should be able to see that I am seriously injured." ”

Xu Yue nodded and said: "That's true, although I don't know how your internal injuries are, but the injuries to your limbs alone are already very serious." But your magic is magical, and you look much better after your own healing. ”

After hearing his words, the magician said with a wry smile: "That's just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, my injuries have not been relieved much, and the good ones are only some small injuries on the surface." After all, a secondary healing technique and a bottle of 'Restoration Elixir' that could only heal moderate injuries would not repair my shattered internal organs. In fact, I have a few hours left in my life. ”

After listening to the magician's careful explanation of his injury, Xu Yue's heart suddenly cooled, this kind of injury could not continue the life of this magician even with modern medicine.

It was an incredible miracle that the mage was able to converse with him normally despite such an injury.

The magician relied almost entirely on his own strong mental power to forcibly maintain the operation of his brain, so that he did not die immediately. However, this situation also lasts for a maximum of one or two flare hours, which is about an hour and a half on Earth. The magician spoke of a flare hour equivalent to about fifty minutes on Earth.

The magician knew that his death was near, but he let it go completely. Seeing Xu Yue's disappointed look, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be too disappointed, although I can't personally lead you into the hall of magic, I can still do it just by giving you a chance." ”

Xu Yue, who was already completely disappointed, suddenly cheered up again when he heard this, but he didn't get carried away, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We have a saying here called 'There is no free dinner in the world', I don't know what you need me to do for you in exchange for this opportunity." ”

The magician nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, very incisive words. If you get something, you have to give. I do have something for me to do, but it's not hard for you. And you don't need to do it right away, just wait until you're strong enough to do it. ”

After listening to the magician's words, Xu Yue thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to his conditions. In any case, he could not pass up this opportunity.

Next, the magician carefully explained what he needed Xu Yue to do, and then tried his best to tell Xu Yue about the information of his world and related magical knowledge. An hour and a half later, the magician closed his eyes peacefully.

As instructed by the magician, he removed the magic ring from the other's finger that could be used for storage. The ring's storage space was opened as the magician had given him, and a bottle the size of a baby's fist containing red powder was found.

As he poured some of the powder onto the magician's body, he saw a flash of red light, and the powder immediately wrapped the opponent's entire body in a red light like a flame. The mage's body flew to ashes in the red light, and finally turned into a thumb-sized red crystal and landed on the bed.

The red light didn't cause the slightest damage to the sheets and the surrounding furniture, not even the magic robes on the magician's body. Just cremated the mage's body.

Looking at the items left by the magician scattered on the bed, Xu Yue carefully put away these things and put the red crystal that the magician's body turned into into a storage ring. Then he sat down on the bed and began to recall some of the messages that the magician had told him.

The magician's name was Ovod Owold, and he came from an otherworldly Great 6 named Talumia. There is not only one race of humans on that big 6, elves, dwarves, goblins, gnomes, and even dragons, demons, gods, and other legendary races actually exist in that world, and there are many other strange races.
