On the morning of September 3, 634 in the dragon calendar, the fourth train of Wangdu, on the way to Moradi, planned the trip one day in advance.

"Oh, look at this picture, it's called Six, Seven, Seven Assessment Magic Stone, what a garbage name!" Lan Li pushed a photo to Shecher, who was sitting opposite, and complained with disdain.

Shecher picked up the photo and looked at it, but frowned. This time he took the photo closer, and wanted to take a closer look at the clues, what additional information would a broken stone have?

"Hey, what's wrong, haven't seen a stone?" Lan Li asked impatiently, seeing that he ignored her, and began to turn her attention elsewhere. Her thoughts drifted back to Aslante, the newly built house had not been lived in for a day, it was so beautiful, who would have thought that it was the delicate work that two big men had spent two days rushing out! For her, the toil had been concealed by the delicate appearance, and in those two days of hard work, the mental power was obviously greater than the physical strength, how could she know that these were designed by Shecher.

Shecher's sudden opening interrupted her beautiful daydream.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you. ”

"I've seen the texture of this stone, so I can tell that it's a 'toothed stone'. ”

"Oh, that sounds like boring. ”

Shecher instantly froze: "This is a kind of magic primordial stone, which can only be separated by the refining of the 'Phoenix Fire'. Because of its dense structure, a large amount of fire magic power is stored inside the original stone, which is an extremely rare single magic power storage, and I didn't expect to encounter it in a fifth-order assessment task. ”

"So, that stone belongs to your family, it's amazing!"

"Don't you think your mission isn't an ordinary assessment task? Don't be naïve!"

"Joke, what didn't stop this girl, huh!" Lan Li pouted symbolically and turned her head out the window.

The train is passing through a prairie – a grassland full of pastures, herds of cattle and sheep, like a paradise on earth, but unfortunately no one will stop here.

The Magus assessment tasks are almost identical, with the exception of a few tasks, which are either finding a stone from a vast space or snatching a stone from a strong opponent. Is the whole Wizards Association a stone except for a stone? This question makes every magician feel helpless. A game without tricks, no matter how difficult it is, it's a little boring. However, this has also made some bored people become enthusiasts of collecting all kinds of rare stones, and even the job of "stone selling" has appeared. According to some: "If you have stones, you may become a 'powerful' magician." "What a great irony for the Guild of Fiore.

The same must be true of the Death Gem. Schitchell thought so, but looked at Lan Li and saw that there was uninhibited and sorrow in her eyes that ordinary women did not have. The king has not returned, and the old grudge has not been resolved! Shecher couldn't help but smile bitterly, but the slightest movement at the corner of his mouth was difficult to detect and incomprehensible.

2）

Moradi is a small town in the east of Fiore, located in the plains after the Fiore Desert, without bustling streets and all kinds of people, but full of simple local feelings. Although it is not rich, everyone has a happy smile on their face, which is the first impression of Shecher.

"Ordinary people are so happy!"

So saying, but then it occurred to him that the ruled are often easily satisfied, and perhaps they can only find satisfaction in the miserable luck.

"This is something that a sorcerer would not dare to offend easily. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Shecher, puzzled.

Lan Li pointed to the distant mountain in the town that looked like a wild wolf, and said: "Moradi, the original founder of the town has set a forbidden spell here to keep the evil people out of the town, and once someone tries to disadvantage this place, the forbidden spell will be triggered, and the wolf clan will attack it in groups until it destroys its clan, which is extremely brutal." Legend has it that Moradi, the founder of the town, was once kind to the leader of the wolf clan, so the wolf clan has guarded the people of this town for generations. ”

"It's just a legend, so why believe it?"

Lan Li took off her backpack, took out a book from it, the title of which was "Moradi", flipped a page casually, and gave it to Shecher.

The book reads: In 1755, the nobleman Balil Khik led a magical army to slaughter 46 people in the town of Moradi, wounding countless others. The next day, Balil was strewn in the town, and none of the corpses were complete, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which showed the cruelty of the attack. In the same year, the Chiefk family was attacked by the wolf clan, and no one was spared, and the clan was wiped out.

Shocked by this, Shecher flipped through several pages, and it was recorded that in 73 BC, the prince of the Arcaceros Empire attacked the area around the town of Moradi during the war with the Fiore Kingdom, hesitated and decided to take the town, and was besieged by wolves and a dragon, and the prince died on the spot. In less than seven days, the city of Louisian was captured by the wolves, and the Arca Pheros Empire was destroyed.

Shecher also knows history, it was a turning point for the near-extinct kingdom of Fiore, and the victory was indeed a miracle. The kingdom of Accapheros was established, and the new royal family reconciled with Fiorda.

"A terrible force. Shecher closed the book and handed it to Lan Li, but her face was filled with inexplicable joy.

"That's not the point!" Lan Li pointed to the distant mountain angrily, wanting to say something, but she wanted the aggressive boy in front of her to guess. She remembers that she used to be very aggressive, but she was much calmer in her handling things, and she wore a poker face all day long, as if she wanted to be in the world.

A person as arrogant as a cold eye will be defeated sooner or later.

"Is there a wolf on that mountain?" asked Shecher, puzzled, but even more eager to try, and the coffin did not cry.

"It seems that you don't know anything about this place, how can you change so much?, and you were so well prepared when you went to Lankston last time?" Before he could explain, Lanley continued: "That mountain is Moradi Mountain, also called Wolf Mountain, and the leader of the wolf clan lives in this place, and I heard that the wolves on the mountain are enough to defeat an Atlantan formation!" This is undoubtedly very deterrent, just to tell Shecher not to approach the mountain, because they are going to separate for their respective missions.

"Oh, got it. "Shecher's arrogance was suppressed in an instant, and the strength of the dragon was indeed a psychological suppression for him.

"Alright, I'm leaving, remember to be careful!"

"Well, you too. ”

This separation may not be long, although it is only a small town, but in terms of tasks, it will take some work just to find it, not to mention the battle against unknown opponents. After all, opponents don't take the initiative to find a challenger.

3）

But there aren't many people in the town, and it's even more unrealistic to ask for directions. This process of searching is undoubtedly more difficult than defeating the opponent.

Shecher found that there were very few plants here, except for some ordinary houses scattered on both sides of the regular road, and it could even be said that this town was originally a wasteland, and there would be gusts of wind from all directions, which would be cold, making people feel like they were being targeted by inexplicable ghosts, and they were extremely uncomfortable.

If there were no ordinary people walking on the road, it would be possible to conclude that it was an abandoned city that had been obliterated by history, and that it looked like a town that had been protected by wolves for thousands of years.

But the difference is that the mountain is so green that you want to dive into it!

"Shecher Salamanda. ”

Out of nowhere, an old man's voice came, and it was his name. Shecher wondered impatiently why so many people knew his name!

Puzzled, he asked, "Who are you?"

Shecher closed his eyes as he sensed the presence of a stream of air, different from the usual one.

"The seventy-fifth snatcher of the Death Gem. The voice came out, but there was no answer that Schetcher wanted.

But at this moment, Shecher felt the direction of the magic power, and a large snowball that was generated out of thin air flew behind him.

"Your instincts have deceived you. ”

Two snowballs that appeared on the left and right of Shecher at the same time flew out, but still had no effect, but knocked down a low wall, and the sound of him falling to the ground was that he opened his eyes, and black grew in his hair and eyes.

"This kind of nonsense will get you the punishment you deserve. The old man's words popped out like this.

Remembering the legend about Moradi, Scher's heart shuddered, and he returned to the way it was, signaling that the boring game should be over, and that he was still in a bit of a hurry to defeat his opponent.

"Young people should be more mature and steady. The old man finally appeared in front of Shecher, dressed in a black robe, and his relatively short body made his long, white beard take over, everything seemed to be the appearance of an ordinary old man.

He smiled and said to Shecher, "Your mission is to get the Death Gem through me, right?"

Shecher nodded, putting away her old arrogance. After all, his opponent is a venerable old man.

"The magic of gold, chewing stone and iron pillars. "A cylindrical iron pillar was summoned, more than a meter long, with a small hole at the top.

Shecher watched lightly as the old man used magic while transforming his magic, which was naturally at a certain level.

The old man smiled and took out the stone from his pocket, gestured at Shecher, and placed it on the small hole. It's very simple to attach it to it. This is also a provocation.

But Schetcher didn't do anything, as if it were an inconsequential stone. But he was also surprised by the old man's useless actions in his heart, and he also felt a sense of contempt.

"I'm sorry, I made such a decision before we fought, this is your last chance, if you can't defeat me, this stone will turn to powder, and you will never be able to become a fifth-order magician. ”

"But it wasn't the stone that proved my strength. Shecher awoke from a respectful silence, and for some reason he felt drowsy, with magic invisibly paralyzing his brain.

"Young people don't understand the world after all!"

As the old man finished his last words, Shecher fell into a deep sleep.
