Chapter 4: Spellcasting Targets for Employees

A male elf with long, curly white hair walked in, his skin was pale, his hair was wavy, and his eyes were sewn up. This is the "butler" of the "Clock Tavern", introduced by Aloy Heck, who is said to be the guy in charge of the food and living here.

"The master invites you to talk in the garden." Le's face was facing Xavier, and although he didn't open his eyes, Xavier could fully feel his gaze.

Xavier didn't say much, just nodded - the guy with the sturred eyes could see it anyway.

Follow Le to the garden, where Aloy Heck was looking at the purple fruits in the trees.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around: "Coming?" ”

Aloy Heck motioned for him to retreat, and then shoved the slender wand into Xavier's hand.

"Come on, start by arranging the elements of magic and depicting the formula for casting spells. Well... Let's start with the simplest magic trick, right? ”

"You kid, although..."Aloy Heck, who is only about one and a half meters tall, crossed his waist and said in an old-fashioned manner, "although you can feel it, the magic fluctuations in your body are quite active. But no matter how you look at it, I haven't used it.,It's a complete rookie.。 ”

"First this and this, then that and that......" She pulled out another wand out of nowhere, apparently a high-class product, and began to demonstrate to Xavier. With the spell casting, a burst of sparks burst from the tip of the wand, flashing and shining around.

But Xavier didn't do it, and his eyes even opened a little.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Aloy Heck raised an eyebrow, looked over rather unpleasantly, and threw the spark at Xavier's head.

"Ahh Xavier seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, he also held his wand, weaving a spell formula, and the exact same flame appeared on the tip of the wand.

"Huh?" Now it was Aloy Heck's turn to be shocked, and she thought quickly in her brain:

Learn it all at once? Learn it all at once? The students I have taught before have either practiced dozens or hundreds of times, or they can't figure out a trick in their lifetime, ...... this guy actually does? You can't let him go, you can't .......

Putting aside Aloy Heck's inner fluctuations for the time being, Xavier was also quite surprised.

As Aloy Heck demonstrated the spell, a system prompt appeared in front of his eyes.

[Aloy Heck Ruhler (Lv.??) You're being taught magic tricks, do you want to learn? 】

It's the familiar selection bar again, and in Forgotten Realm, you will see a pop-up when learning a skill.

Xavier subconsciously chooses "Yes", and the prompt box starts to read, and after the reading bar ends......

He saw a translucent skill bar at the edge of his line of sight, on which the trick of "magic tricks" appeared.

In addition, there are the skills he has learned as a full-level thief - although all of them are gray and unusable.

Shocked, Aloy Heck urged Xavier to use a few more magic tricks. After repeatedly confirming that Xavier had really learned, Aloy Heck's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xavier as if he was going to eat him raw: "Good, good." Let's move on..."

"It's a flaming arrow, look at me—" she chanted a spell, and with a spell gesture, a flash of fire flew through and hit the target in the middle of the garden.

[Aloy Heck Ruhler (Lv.??) Flaming arrows are being taught to you, is it learning? 】

"Hmm." Xavier raised his hand and shot a burst of flame, hitting the target's head with pinpoint accuracy, knocking it out entirely.

"......" Aloy Heck was silent!

"Hey, Ansel!" She shouted into the tavern, "Come and help teach!" ”

"Do you want me to be beaten again? That's a bonus. The dark elf bartender with a stitched scar on his face stepped out and stood in the middle of the garden with a glass of juice. Like Aloy Heck, he is not afraid of the sun.

"Of course. Look at it, this is the death knell of the dead... Can only be used on mobs. She chanted, moving her finger at the poor bartender.

A low bell rang, and Ansest squirted out a mouthful of juice. Aloy Heck looked at Xavier and motioned for him to come as well.

[Aloy Heck Ruhler (Lv.??) The death knell of the dead is being taught to you, is it learning? 】

"Hmm......" Xavier sighed in his heart that he had actually used employees as targets, and without hesitation, he used the death knell of the dead who had finished reading the note and learned successfully at Ansel.

"Uhh

"That's ruthless, you newcomer—" The dark elf bartender cursed, picked up his glass, glanced at his boss, and slipped into the tavern.

Now Aloy Heck looked at Xavier with the eyes of a monster, "I've found a treasure now......" she muttered, pointing to the stake again, and began to demonstrate the next one, "Cryoray." If you learn this, the clock tavern is in your hands! ”

[Aloy Heck Ruhler (Lv.??) Cryo-ray is being taught to you, is it learning? 】

[Learning failure. The maximum number of tricks in the current class (Mage Lv.1) has been reached. 】

Xavier spread his hands, waving his meaning, signaling that he wouldn't. Inside, it felt a little familiar - even the known upper limit of the level of spells was the same as that of the Forgotten Realm?

"Sure enough, hey." Aloy Heck breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to pat Xavier on the back, "I thought you monster could ignore this...... As I expected. Let's go in first. ”

She walked into the tavern door with her feet raised, "I didn't expect you kid to get started so quickly, then, you can start transcribing spells." ”

Xavier followed and walked back, his heart forcibly suppressed the excitement.

Spell...... Spells, the magic that has been longed for in the game for years, are finally coming true today. Although the owner of the Clock Tavern, Aloy Heck Ruhler obviously has other things to ask for, and it is even possible that he will be sent to the dissecting table afterwards. But since you're still in a friendly state, you might as well learn enough power from her first!

……

Stepping into the tavern again, Aloy Heck led Xavier to the library. The room was large with tall bookshelves filled with books and books stacked on the floor. Most of them are scrolls and books that record spells, and there are also various subject books that make people look big at first sight.

"I'm looking for Ernaux for something, I'm going to do research." With a wave of his small hand, Aloy Heck poked at a pink-haired man who was writing on the only desk and chair in the library, and he looked up—pitch-black sclera, dark golden pupils, and a pair of long, twisted black horns on his head. Obviously, a Tiefling.

Tifflin, who was named Ernaux, nodded and said hello. By the way, after getting the transcription materials under the guidance of the other party and listening to the transcription skills, Xavier dived headlong into the stacks of books.

After looking through a few books on spells, Xavier confirmed one thing again. The magic of Nora Continent is no different from that in the game. In other words, I can copy other people's homework if I have read all kinds of mage strategies—oh, but...

He summoned the panel, looking at the dimmed Rogue class and skill. Although it can't be used now, since it's displayed here, there must be a chance to unblock it.

Well, since you can master the skills of thieves. List of Spells...... Naturally, the sword can go sideways?

Xavier, having made his decision, calmed down and began to transcribe the magic, recording them into his own spell book - oh, this spell book was given by Aloy Heck, the most ordinary of goods. Although he stored the rare spell book he had obtained in the game in the ring of everything, he would inevitably be suspicious when he took it out now. Or later.

There was silence in the library.

It wasn't until Tiffling Ernaux, who had been immersed in writing, put down her pen and walked over to Xavier's side to check that the silence in the room was broken.

"In this case, there are still rookie mages..."Ernaux yawned and looked down at the scroll Xavier had taken out, "Mage armor, shield magic, elemental absorption, well, not bad." Detect magic and get a pet...... Well? Seducing humans, oiling the soles of the feet, silent phantoms, ......? ”

The words in front were still appreciative, but when Ernaux saw the spell behind. With each name, his voice lowered by a degree, and finally he said in a deep tone that almost hated iron, "...... wasting time and magic on these spells?" You ......"

"It's handsome, isn't it?" Xavier looked at him and said calmly.

"Learn me some useful spells...!" Ernaux slapped the table violently, and the wind blew away some of the paper, "Do you really want to die when you learn this!" ”

Looking at Tiefling's angry golden eyes, Xavier felt that he should make some backup plan. What if the thief's skills take a long time to unlock? And it seems that it is better not to provoke this Tiffling mage, otherwise if he wants to ask academic questions in the future, the other party will be in trouble if he does not want to.

So he replied quickly, with a blank face, "Well, I was wrong. ”

“…!” Tiefling's anger stalled as if he had been pressed the pause button, and he sighed and took a book from the shelf, "This is the spell book I used when I was younger, and it should help you with your choice now." ”

"But, as a new colleague, I have a word of advice. When you are running low on mana, do not attempt to cast spells. ”
