Chapter 1 Looking for Long-Term Tools

tick! tick!

Raindrops fell from the dark sky, and they fell into a huge city below following the attraction of gravity. The gorgeous spiers of the castle were soaked by the rain, and the passers-by in common clothes on the street in the distance looked up at the bad weather, cursed secretly and quickened their pace, guessing they should go home to collect their clothes, right?

Outside the towering city walls, adventurers wearing helmets and swords gradually returned to the city, and most of their faces were as gloomy as the sky.

"The doors will be closing soon, the ones in front!"

Amidst the yelling of the city guards, Xiang En, who was wearing a gray-white cloak, walked into the city gate with the hurried adventurers beside him.

Xiang En, who was completely covered under the cloak, stood under the arch, shaking off the rain and dew on his body, and lifted the hood, revealing a handsome and steady face with black hair and brown eyes. He looked young and looked like a mixed race. His hair color is not unusual in this world of all kinds of hair colors on average, it is not an outlier.

After a short rest, Xiang En squeezed into the chaotic flow of people, and the route became more and more deviated, and finally came to a tavern with a rather barbaric style.

Pushing the door open and walking into the tavern, the sound of drizzle in my ears was covered by human voices...

"Damn the weather, the prey I finally wounded ran away!"

Boom!

The sound of a wooden wine glass hitting the table.

"Since the archmage started researching the water elemental circle, the weather in D'Aire has been getting worse and worse!"

"Hey! Aren't you afraid of being heard by those big shots? Wasn't there an unlucky ghost who contradicted a noble mage a while ago and was shot through the leg with an ice pick!"

"Hmph! Those mage masters hiding in the castle don't care about the weather outside or our mood!"

"Why has everything increased in price lately?"

"Why else, those big nobles are going to hold a celebration! Isn't it always like this in previous years, the higher ups pay the money, we contribute, hmph!"

"I don't know how long I can hold on..."

...

Hearing the negative energy speeches of the adventurers around, Xiang En was unmoved, and went straight to the bar of the tavern, and greeted a middle-aged man with a bushy mustache inside, "Long time no see, Boss Mike!"

The tavern owner, who was smoking a cigarette boredly, saw Xiang En, supported his head with another hand, grinned and said, "Isn't this the auxiliary mage Xiang En? I can't get along anymore and come back!"

"I have formed several teams, but those people drove me away without exception, so I came back to see if I could find a rookie to be a long-term teammate."

Xiang En shrugged indifferently, and sat across from Boss Mike.

"Hahaha..." Boss Mike was amused, let out a laugh like boiling water, and extinguished the cigarette by the way.

Xiang En has always thought that Boss Mike is very similar to Jameson, the boss of the Daily Bugle in Spider-Man, and he feels even more like him when he hears the iconic boiling water laughter!

Xiang En is actually a time traveler. Before time travel, he was a chef who had just received his first official salary. He lost consciousness inexplicably while visiting a game forum in a rental house, and when he woke up, he became an orphan adopted by D'Aire College.

Being able to see similar characters in another world as before crossing over, still feels a little kind inexplicably, so Xiang En let the other party laugh, anyway, he is used to it... Habits in various senses!

The eyes gradually became complicated, and Xiang Enyao thought about how confused and painful he was when he first traveled to this world.

There is no video game, no Internet, eating the subsistence allowances provided by the college for orphans, and living in a large dormitory with nearly ten people.

After graduation, I have to leave the comfortable environment and live independently on my own. What's more outrageous, this is an extraordinary world with magic.

The aristocratic class has absolute force, and the law can only control people who obey the rules. If you are not careful, you may be dragged to a place where no one is around and wipe your neck.

After two years of trembling, he gave up the name and fantasy of his previous life, and worked hard to integrate into this place. Over time, he got used to it.

What makes him quite satisfied is that this skin is pretty good-looking, and his talent for magic is also at the upper-middle level, and he has also awakened his own special talent, which senior travelers like to call Golden Finger...

"Sorry..." After laughing for a while, Boss Mike shook his head and wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and opened his hand again to block Xiang En's words, "Let me guess first, it's your Slow Technique that slows down the blinking of the monster for a moment. , or your magic cube bread, they ate diarrhea... Puff! Hahahaha!"

Looking at Boss Mike who was laughing to himself again, Xiang En knocked on the table helplessly, reminding him that if he continued to laugh, he would leave.

Boss Mike finally stopped laughing, looked at Xiang En, shook his head and said, "To be honest, you can be a scroll master, engrave slow spells into scrolls, and sell twenty copies a day, no! Just ten copies! It's definitely better than yours. Now I earn a lot in a week!"

"I'm an auxiliary mage, and my spells can't be engraved into scrolls. You should help me see if there is any suitable candidate!"

Xiang En chuckled, if he could engrave his spells into the scroll, he would have already lived in the Great House, and would he still come here?

"Really want to open a new career branch? Ha! Don't waste your energy on your bread spell. Although it can restore mana, the amount of mana recovered is the same as eating a piece of monster meat, and it's so unpalatable! I will use other spells. Stop talking, so as not to hit you!"

Boss Mike faded his smile, took out a thick leather book from under the table, and began to flip through the pages of the latest records, all of which were private commissions from some adventurers.

There are also many people who are looking for teammates. After all, some high-value monsters are difficult to deal with at the average level of this tavern, unless they team up with others.

"The rookie you want is quite hard to find..."

"Don't look at people from the past, my spells have been upgraded, just the day before I was kicked out of the team... Ha!" Xiang En waited boredly, and refuted Boss Mike by the way.

But in the middle of the talk, he himself laughed first. Originally, his spells were indeed tasteless, and his leveling up was slow, but his spells all had incomparable advantages over scrolls and potions.

Open the golden skill book that is uncertain in the mind.

On the first page, Level 2 slowing technique (slows down the enemy's speed by 8%, the group effect is halved, and lasts for 10 seconds.) Proficiency 18%.

On the second page, Level 2 Restoration (recovers 3% of the target's health, and the group effect is halved) proficiency 21%

The third page, Level 1 Blessing of Wind (increases the movement speed of the target by 2%, and the group effect is halved, and lasts for 3 minutes.) Proficiency 89%

On the fourth page, the third-level food creation technique (making bread that slowly recovers 4% of health + 4% of magic + 10% of physical strength.) Proficiency 0.8%

This is the first time he captured magic power in the academy. The talent book that appeared in his mind when he was promoted to an apprentice. It recorded many skills similar to the games he played in his previous life. Although the effect is a bit weak, it is more stable and continuous strong ability.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of the talent book, but Xiang En’s magic power extraction speed is much faster than that of his peers. Although his level is only high-level bronze, the content of magic power has already reached the level of silver level. As long as his mental power keeps up, he can learn fourth-level magic , he is a silver-level spellcaster.

But the appearance of the talent book also made him lose the ability to learn other spells. The memorized casting process will be completely forgotten in one breath, and there is no way to learn and improve independently. It is a blessing and a curse.

Recently, he obtained a new skill from the talent book, awakening the mind (instantly restores 2% of the target's mana).

In this world where combat power is determined by magic power, Awakening God is definitely an incredible endurance skill.

A high-level bronze warrior uses magic attachment to increase his strength, which can only last for two minutes at most. But if Xiang En continued to cast spells at the side, the maintenance time would definitely increase to more than eight minutes!

I don't know if the person who kicked him out of the team would regret it if he knew the effect of his new skill?

Forget it, it's useless to regret it! Anyway, Xiang En doesn't want to find a wild team anymore, it's better to use a fixed team for leveling up, even though this world is not a game world...

Mike was noncommittal, stopped his finger under a name, raised his head and looked around, and pointed to Xiang En: "Here, that one over there! The name is Andrea, a bronze intermediate warrior, who seems to have a date with you She left the academy, her teammate left with a silver-level adventure group two days ago, and left her here, tsk tsk tsk! She has been drinking here for several days, pure rookie, and you are pretty good Good match!"

Following Mike's finger, Xiang En saw a red head lying on the table in the corner of the tavern.

The red hair tied in strands is quite conspicuous in the corner of the tavern. Many male adventurers would stare at her with strange eyes from time to time, and laugh silently after talking with the drinking and meat friends around them.

To be able to get drunk in such a mixed place, Xiang En has already confirmed that the information Mike said should be correct, a pure rookie.

He ignored the ridicule in Mike's words, took out five copper coins from his pocket and slapped them on the table, got up and walked to the corner of the tavern, without saying hello to Mike's boss.

The latter didn't care, and happily put away the copper coins.

This kind of entrustment doesn't make a lot of money, but he can make friends with adventurers and let them often come to his tavern for consumption, which can earn another kind of wealth, information!
