Chapter 33 Academy Mission
"Are you really going to perform a mission outside the city?" Fatty Boss, who was sitting behind the counter of a shop in the East District of Mosobra City, couldn't help but lean on the counter to ask.
"Just to clear out a group of blue palate feathers that appeared in the White Ash Valley outside the city. It shouldn't be a big problem." Sean replied with a smile.
Even Lina was not very worried about the academy mission that Sean was going to perform this time, but the fat Boss in front of him showed obvious concern.
Sean didn't say anything on the surface, but he still felt a little warm in his heart.
"If I were you, I would stay in the city and perform the garrison mission honestly."
"Not only is it safe, but you can also make a fortune at the city gate. Why do you need to go out and take risks?"
"With your official status as a black magician disciple, this kind of job can't be easily obtained?" Fatty Boss shook his head.
"Okay, I went out this time mainly to try out the two new magics I learned."
"Actual combat is much more useful than the academy training ground. You should take out the things I need." Sean urged with a smile.
The fat face still showed incomprehension of Sean's move, but the fat man Boss's hand speed was not slow.
After a while of fiddling behind the counter, three black cloth bags appeared in front of Sean.
These three black cloth bags contained the iron phosphorus powder and sweet berries that Sean needed.
The former is a relatively common and low-level magic spice that can significantly increase the power of fire magic, but the disadvantage is that it is not very stable. If the timing is not good, it is very likely to hurt yourself.
The latter is the bait that Sean uses to lure underground creatures such as blue palate feathers. Only when more than 20 blue palate feathers are killed, Sean will be considered to have completed this academy mission.
As for the last black cloth bag, it is not what Sean asked for.
When he looked at Boss with an inquiring look, the fat man waved his hand and said, "This is not given to you by me. It is left here by the little girl Meili."
"She knows that you may have to go out to perform academy tasks recently, so she asked me to give this to you."
Open the black cloth, and there are three small potions, two red and one blue, lying quietly inside.
Two low-level recovery potions and one low-level antidote are worth more than sixty black gold.
Sean currently has a lot of good things in his hands, but there are few black gold, the common currency of Mosobra City.
Therefore, facing Meili's kindness, Sean pondered for a moment and finally accepted it silently.
"You have cooperated with Meili recently, so you should have made a lot of money, right?" Sean glanced at Fatty Boss. In the inner corner of this store, he also saw several similar potions.
Most of them are low-level recovery potions, and there is not a single antidote. It seems that Meili's success rate in making antidotes is not high.
"No, no, it's a small business." The fat man waved his hand hurriedly, and refused to reveal how much he made.
Shaking his head, Sean said: "Then I'll leave first. If this mission goes well, I will come to take care of your business again."
After leaving Fatty Boss, Sean walked straight out of the city.
Mosobra City is very large. It is a huge underground city with a population of more than 300,000.
The population of more than 300,000 people is mostly human, after all, black magicians are essentially human.
These humans were captured from the surface, and a few of them with qualified mental power were sent to the Black Magic Academy to become apprentices.
And the vast majority of humans with unqualified mental power were thrown into the city to fend for themselves.
It is unknown how long the city of Mosobra has existed. After dozens or hundreds of years, these humans gradually multiplied underground, but the total population has never increased.
In addition to humans, there are some minotaurs, subterraneans, or strange races that Sean rarely contacts living in Mosobra.
Under the rule of black magicians, Mosobra gradually became the center of the nearby underground world.
Although brutality and unruliness are the usual labels of black magicians, Mosobra maintains its special order.
For example, in the city, except for the high-ranking black magicians, it is almost impossible to see other creatures fighting.
Even the most insidious and cunning underground gray dwarves have to stay in Mosobra City.
There is a huge arena in the city. If there is any irreconcilable conflict, these underground creatures can go to the arena to solve it.
Sometimes, when a fight breaks out between two powerful underground creatures, they will invite black magic apprentices or even black magicians to arbitrate.
This should also be regarded as a unique landscape of Mosobra City, which demonstrates the authority of black magicians.
After leaving Mosobra City, Sean headed northeast outside the city.
His destination is not far from Mosobra City. If he is lucky, he may be able to return within five days.
...
Gray Valley.
This is a special area with loose and moist soil.
Some lush underground mosses grow in this area.
And looking at the density and distribution pattern of these mosses, it is obvious that they are planted artificially.
Because there is no sunlight in the underground world, and the soil properties are also very different from those on the surface.
Some common crops that can be easily cultivated on the surface cannot grow in the underground world.
The underground plants with a large number and different characteristics constitute the bottom of the ecological environment in the underground world.
Whether it is the ordinary humans in Mosobra City or the widely distributed subhuman creatures in the underground world, their main food source is still these usable underground plants.
Even the powerful and rare underground monsters are not all carnivorous creatures.
For example, the target of Sean's mission this time, the Green Palate Feather, is an omnivorous creature that specializes in eating underground plants including moss.
The Green Palate Feather is a creature that looks like a bird, is less than half a meter long, and has two narrow green tail feathers.
Most adult Green Palate Feathers are just a kind of demonized creature with some elemental power in the claws and beak.
There is no need for low-level apprentices. Some entry-level apprentices can also kill with traps or other physical means.
But unfortunately, Green Palate Feathers like to live in groups. The base number of each Green Palate Feather group ranges from thirty to fifty.
A Green Palate Feather at the level of a demonized creature is nothing, but what if twenty or thirty of them pounce on you together?
Therefore, academy tasks such as eliminating the blue palate feathers are generally assigned to intermediate apprentices.
When Sean came to the gray valley, in addition to the well-distributed moss fields, he also saw some dilapidated cabins beside the fields.
The people in Mosobra City were responsible for reclaiming this valley.
The high-ranking black magicians will not protect and pay attention to these ants for a long time.
When these humble and miserable underground humans are attacked by underground creatures such as the blue palate feathers, they can only ask for help from the Black Magic Academy.
But when the Black Magic Academy sends people is not something they can decide.
When Sean, wearing the iconic black magic robe, walked into the gray valley, several hunchbacked people with strange smells quickly ran out of several dilapidated cabins.
