Chapter 127 First Battle
As the official wizard of Moonlight Grove, Barty is stationed here as one of his tasks. 【🆆🆆🆆🆂🆃♦♦♦♦🅲♦🅼】
It's just that he doesn't have to patrol the mountains like wizard apprentices like Herage, he only needs to sit at the inn.
Generally speaking, there is nothing going on and it is relatively leisurely.
Herage and Ferid started patrolling on horseback early in the morning, heading towards the designated area.
The roads in the western mountains are very difficult to walk. They are all narrow and muddy mountain roads, and there are many weeds extending out to block the roads.
From time to time, you can still see some small snakes quickly crossing the mountain road and getting into the grass on the opposite side.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, and Herage and the two rode very slowly, but they were not in a hurry.
There are no mission indicators when you go out on patrol, and you can return to the inn when the time comes. In Herage's words: "Just catch the fish and you're done."
Herage rode his horse and walked slowly, looking at the surrounding scenery, looking very comfortable.
Although he looked relaxed on the surface, he was still very alert.
Deep Blue's environment detection is always on, and all movements within five hundred meters of the surrounding area are under control.
"The last time I saw you, you were a first-class wizard apprentice. In the blink of an eye, you became a third-class wizard apprentice. With such qualifications, it's no wonder that Mr. Larry took notice." Ferid sighed.
He already knew that Herage was Larry's student, and Herage did not go out of his way to hide this.
At least within Moonlight Grove, having an official wizard as a teacher would save him some trouble.
"Luck." Herage said modestly.
The two of them walked in the mountains for a long time. The journey was calm and they did not encounter any emergencies.
Herage found a flat spot on the top of a mountain, tied his horse to a tree nearby, then sat under the tree and began to eat dry food.
After a brief lunch, Herage leaned directly against the tree and closed his eyes to rest. Seeing this, Ferid also found a big stone to lie down on.
Herage almost had the final say along the way, and Ferid wouldn't have any objections.
Herag rested when he said he wanted to, and he had the final say on when to set off.
Ferid is already twenty-five years old, and the probability of being promoted to an official wizard is very low.
And Herage was only sixteen years old, and with Larry as a teacher, he had a bright future. Ferid naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Herage.
Half an hour later, Herage suddenly opened his eyes and stood up immediately.
Ferid noticed the movement here and found that Herage was looking to the west. He realized that something might be happening and became vigilant.
Not long after, a little red bear with blood on its body ran over in panic.
After the little bear saw the two Herrags, he became even more panicked and did not dare to get closer.
The little bear kept looking back, and then looked fearfully at the two people in front of him, in a dilemma.
"Mountain Fire Bear! A very rare monster." Ferid recognized it at a glance.
Herage nodded: "It is impossible for such a small bear to move alone. The mother bear should be nearby. But the blood on the cub's body is probably from the mother bear, which means someone is hunting the mother bear."
Ferid's expression became serious: "The fur of the mountain fire bear is very precious and can be sold for hundreds of magic stones. Now only in the Western Mountains can traces of the mountain fire bear be found. Poachers often take risks to hunt the mountains. Fire Bear."
One of their tasks is to protect these resources in the Western Mountains. Mountain fire bears are naturally within the scope of protection. These are resources of Moonlight Grove.
The mountain fire bear itself has the strength of a great knight, and is stronger and stronger than ordinary great knights.
Those who dare to hunt mountain fire bears are usually at least third-class wizard apprentices.
Herage and the two rushed in the direction where the little bear came, and soon they heard the sound of fighting.
After climbing over a mountain, I saw three people at the foot of the mountain besieging a huge mountain fire bear.
The fur of the Mountain Fire Bear is bright red, and its body is in flames.
Herage quickly scanned it and found that among the three people surrounding them, there were two third-class wizard apprentices and one second-class wizard apprentice.
The mountain fire bear already had many wounds on his body at this time, and there was also a huge wound on his stomach. His internal organs could be vaguely seen. It looked like he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Absolute defense."
"The wrath of the bloody bull."
"Indomitable will."
"The blessings of the mountain spirits."
"Dark energy bursts."
After Herage put an absolute defensive shield on himself, he then quietly blessed himself with several buffing spells.
Ferid only saw Herage smearing a line of blood on the palm of his hand, and then some magic waves emitted from his body, but he didn't know what spell Herage was casting.
"Shadow Corner."
Herage's whole body turned into a shadow and merged into the ground, quickly and silently rushing towards the foot of the mountain.
When he was about to approach the three of them, he released a spell again: "Dark Confinement."
The movements of the three people froze instantly. All three people realized that they had been hit by a confinement spell, but they did not find the whereabouts of the caster.
Two third-class wizard apprentices were about to release the confinement effect on their bodies when they suddenly noticed a black shadow appearing on the ground in front of them, and then a man wearing a colorful shield emerged from the ground.
Herage simply punched the third-class wizard apprentice in front of him, who only had a mana shield on his body.
His punch was extremely fast, and there was a loud sound of breaking through the air. The magic shield on the third-class wizard apprentice was broken like paper.
Herag's fist passed through the magic shield without any hindrance, and then hit the chest of the third-class wizard apprentice.
The man's chest instantly sank, and at the same time, the whole body began to bend backwards. The next second, the whole person flew out and hit the mountain wall in the distance, and fell to the ground without a sound.
The remaining two people looked at Herag in horror, and were shocked by Herag's terrifying power and speed.
Another third-class wizard apprentice quickly reacted, broke his left little finger, and quickly recited a few syllables in his mouth, and then the dark confinement on his body was lifted.
He turned around and ran without thinking, with a layer of magic shield on his body, and had no intention of fighting Herag at all.
Huh!
He suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and the next second, Herag was already standing behind him.
After Herag smashed his shield with one punch, he reached out and grabbed the man's arm, pulling the fleeing man back.
Herag didn't hesitate, punched the man in the neck, hammering him into the ground, and a small pit appeared on the ground. The body of the third-class wizard apprentice was instantly separated, and his head rolled several meters away and rolled into the grass.
The remaining second-class wizard apprentice was so scared when he saw this scene that his legs began to shake uncontrollably, and his pants soon got wet.
It's not that he hasn't seen battles or deaths before, but he has never seen Herag do it so simply and violently, directly using his invincible power to punch someone to death.
