Chapter 5 Magic Apprentice ()

I almost ran to the canopy of the evening tavern, wrung out the water stains on my clothes, and wiped the wet hair on my head. I looked at the heavy rain like waterline in front of me, and was speechless. In this kind of weather, even if you are the orc with the best physique, you are at risk of getting sick.

In the novice stage, once you get sick, your attributes will be reduced a lot. If you have a long illness and have no money to treat, you will die of illness. Once you die, it will not be available for six hours in reality. The game’s real time is 4:1. Then when you log in again, it will be a day after others will pass. For the game’s start period, this punishment is too great.

I searched all over the tavern hall, but couldn't find a guy named Stoke, so I had to ask the waiter at the tavern and was told that Stoke was in the basement. So I went through the long tunnel and finally found him in the basement.

Stoke is a hunched old man wearing a tattered black robe, describing his withered appearance, his hands are like old branches, which makes people think he is a zombie who has just crawled out of the coffin, with light blue eyes blank and no focus.

I didn't underestimate this old man because his confused eyes occasionally emitted dazzling light, which was a manifestation of the extreme mental power.

"Hello, is it Mr. Stock? I accepted the potion task you posted and came to receive the detailed content." I said politely. These are game knowledge obtained from the Internet and are also my game guidelines, so I must be treated respectfully.

The old man glanced at me casually and muttered: "I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Now everyone dares to fall into the back of the gods. Are the white birds in the sky of the Holy Land lazy? It was a tough time to chase me back then. Boy, my experiment was caught in a bottleneck, but the black dog was missing a lot. I don't have time to collect it. Since you have accepted the task, go and collect 30 copies for me. I will pay you enough silver coins."

"The system prompts you to accept the task of collecting black dog blood, with a task level of one star."

I didn't think much about it. Maybe he was born with a weird temper. But there were not many mages in the town. He was very likely to be the tutor of the novice magic profession in the town. Because the name was not on my head, I had not mastered the reconnaissance technique, so I could not confirm it.

A thought came out in my mind and couldn't get rid of it. I want to seize the opportunity.

"Mr. Stock, I don't want silver coins. Please accept me as a student."

Stoke turned his face and glanced at me with a cold look, "Oh, you want to be a wizard. Come here and let me see."

He released a magic casually, and the blue light shone and instantly enveloped my body. I felt soaked in warm water, and the blue light penetrated through the skin, constantly plundering the gaps in the bones, making people creepy.

Stoke's light blue slowly turned into dark black, with deep and bright eyes, like obsidian, as if there was an inner texture. He looked at me thoughtfully and said, "Do you want to be my student?"

"Yes, I'm going to learn magic."

"My magic is quite special." Stoke stopped me from interrupting and continued: "If you learn my magic, maybe nine out of ten people can become magic apprentices, but for a hundred magic apprentices, only one or two of them may become magicians. The power of magic apprentices is not strong, and can only be used as a skill to make a living. You have to think clearly."

"..." What does this mean? Isn't he a wizard instructor? That's the special nature of NPC. Of course I won't give up on such a good thing and said, "I'm willing to be your student."

"Hehe, it's not that easy to be my student. In addition to the cunning kobolds in the Aloyk jungle, there is also a kind of mutant gnoll. You can hunt thirty gnoll fangs before talking about it, just treat it as a test for you to get started." Stoke said with a weird smile.

"The system prompts you to accept the test task of Stoke Mage Apprentice?"

"Please rest assured, I won't give up halfway."

I was actually received two tasks unexpectedly, and I was surprised by my small good character. But I always feel that this NPC is a bit unwilling, and I hope it is an illusion.

"Okay, let's teach you a simple magic first so that you won't be bitten to death by a gnoll."

Half an hour later, I came out of the dusk tavern and had learned the first magic.

"Corrosion Arrow, Level 1, Attack 5-8, with corrosion penetration effect..."

The process of learning skills is definitely not comfortable. After a fantasy white light, the skill appears on the skill panel did not happen. Perhaps it is because of this that the game created by Creation is so attractive. I am not stupid, but I will inevitably suffer a great loss when I first came into contact with magic, and was mercilessly ridiculed by Mr. Stock. Then, after all, I can truly learn skills by brewing magic power, how to mobilize mental frequency, how to control the casting accuracy, and remember the casting distance and brewing time.

At this time, the heavy rain stopped, and it would be bright for six hours. The human race's vision in the darkness cannot exceed five meters. Many players spend 10 copper plates to buy torches at the grocery store. The lighting range of one torch is ten meters and can burn for one hour, providing convenience for players without dark vision to kill monsters in the night.

I spent 20 copper coins in the grocery store to buy a simple map scroll near the small town of Sparta, spread it out, and a small piece was lit up in the private vision map immediately. I bought two torches, and there were only 10 copper plates left on my body, which was not enough for a meal. After thinking about it, I found the hunter Totton and spent 10 copper coins to learn the collection technique.

This is what the fallen ones asked for, otherwise they would not have been plundered by NPCs.

With the crowds, I walked out of the town.

Dirty, seemingly sinister bonbons live in the tree holes and tunnels of the Aloyk jungle. These lazy creatures have a strong interest in digging and digging. Recently, the bonbons have become slaves to cruel gnolls. The sly bonbons ruthlessly drive the bonbons to carry out endless hard work. From the moment they become slaves, the once docile bonbons began to be hostile to all races that spoke slander about their work.

The cold wind blew, and the squirting grass that was half a person ahead rustled, and a strong smell of blood was brought.

My first reaction was to rush up and kill the kobold.

"Come out and die, puppies!" But a loud roar came from beside him, and an orc player held the knife in one hand, made a move, shouting loudly.

"Wow la la..." The macao was divided into two sides, and the dog jumped out. A monster with black hair all over his body, hard thorns as hard as iron, muscles thrust, green eyes as copper bells, opened its bloody mouth, erected half-foot long fangs, and stood upright with barbed wooden sticks, roaring and howling at the orcs.

Three words on the top of the monster's head - "Bogman."

Ah, this is the kobold! This guy who is stronger than the lion in the zoo is a first-class monster? I still want to hang it and burst into copper plates? It's almost like putting it into its stomach as a snack.

I felt that the sky was dark and the ground was dark, my teeth were fighting, and my conditioned reflex was nestled behind the huge rock. The orc player also realized something was wrong. When he was about to turn around and escape, "Brush..." Four identical kobolds jumped out from front and back, surrounded by five sides, and had no way to escape.
