Chapter 002: The Staff of Light

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The rain became heavier, and the torrential rain blurred his vision, and John's clothes were soaked by the rain, and the hair on his forehead also made the rain wet into clusters, and the rain fell rapidly from the top of his head, and a few rains penetrated into his eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.

John didn't care too much about the bad weather at the moment, because the mage in front of him was generous. casually rewarded him with a broken demon pattern stone, which is half a month's income for him, so he naturally has to serve it well.

"Master Mage, don't hesitate to say anything. As long as I know, I will clearly tell all the details, and of course if I don't know, I can't do anything. ”

Grant chuckled, this John he remembered in his previous life and was the first to run in front of him. For the speed of the latter, he thinks it's not bad, as long as he cultivates it a little, he still has a chance to become an official knight.

"How long will it take for Noah's door to open this time?"

He knew that there was a huge wall door in Hogg Town to enter the mage cluster, and the only way to enter the mage cluster was to enter it, which belonged to the gap in the world carved out by the elemental core, and the rich elements were not scattered in the thin periphery because of this.

Noah's wall gate needs a month of energy storage time at a time. You can only continue to open it until the next month.

John pondered for a moment, wiped a handful of rain from his face with his rough left hand, and threw them to the ground.

"It seems like there are seven days left, and eight days at the latest. Recently, more and more mages have been arriving. They were all ready to set off collectively, and judging from the analysis of the situation, it was very fast. ”

"Yes. I know. You can go about your business. ”

Grant waved his hand leaning against the black window. John received Grant's order to retreat with gratitude and a few respectful stoops. Head back to the railing next to the hotel and take the opportunity to take shelter from the rain.

"It's a few days away, and I won't have to wait long this time." Grant breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short discussion with the other two servants of the inn, the group strode into the first floor of the inn.

The palatial dΓ©cor of the dilapidated inn was topped by a dark red, beautifully carved lamp, all of which were covered in the finest runes, emitting a soft milky glow under the impetus of magic.

In the center of the first floor, six mahogany round tables are arranged in the shape of horns, and the corners of the tables are all carefully carved and rested with a layer of gilded edges. At this time, there were also more than a dozen people sitting on it, eating food quietly.

"This place is really good, the decoration and food are all first-class, just the three-eyed golden eagle used in the food, the ruler pufferfish, and the Sanlu cow, these top ingredients of the ordinary human empire, only the upper royal family can enjoy, I didn't expect to be able to try it here just in a tavern."

Tefier's eyes were slightly surprised, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. Taylor next to him didn't keep his bearings so much, and hurriedly urged his sister excitedly: "Sister, let's hurry up and order more food like this, it's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious food." ”

Grant listened. Slightly surprised: "You haven't been to Hogg Town or the Mage Cluster before?" ”

He had forgotten the important question of never asking if Tiffil had ever lived in the mage colony, and it was obvious that he hadn't come in when he saw this. In a situation like this, there is a good chance that the other teacher's teacher will also be out and about. Of course, things are not absolute, and everything is subject to face-to-face inquiry.

"Nope. This is the first time. Teffel shook his head.

"Is your teacher in the cluster?"

"We belong to the student status of exchanging resources, to put it bluntly, it is to exchange some enchanted items and magic materials for shadow badges, those teachers do not need to dry the magic stone and start to choose other ways after the low-income teacher profession, and the shadow badge is naturally traded out in this way, so the master-apprentice relationship like us is extremely shallow."

"The question you asked, I only know that Taylor's teacher is still in the mage cluster."

Tiffel stood there, slowly explaining. She didn't know why she was explaining these things to Grant, but she felt that Grant was extremely calm, as if he had come to this place often.

"Oh, let's eat first." Grant nodded knowingly.

Naturally, Tiffel and Taylor agreed, and after asking some servants to inquire about the price, they understood that the currency here was the same as that of the mage cluster, and that it could only be used for magic stones, and precious metals such as gold and silver were not allowed, but the food purchased by a small piece of magic stone was quite valuable.

Just order seven or eight dishes that are difficult to see in ordinary empires, and they have become commonplace here, and there are even the leg meat of fried beasts that are hunted and extinct in ordinary empires.

Elsewhere in the living room, a dozen people sat looking at Grant and they couldn't help but wonder, it was not so easy to see fresh faces here, and it was common to see two occasionally, but it was definitely not common to see them like the one in front of them. On the left is a man shrouded in a black cloak, his face covered, unable to identify. At the other table, there sat a female mage with a seductive look on her face and a fiery figure, and they felt that Grant's temperament was not at all like that of the first time she came to Hogg Town, and everything looked like she had lived for a long time.

Grant glanced around him, and he felt traces of elemental particles from these people, roughly surmising that they were apprentice peaks, or at the level of a first-order mage.

A moment later, a maid in a blue apron with some gray freckles on her face walked through the door with a large tray and distributed food to three nearby tables.

Each table is full of the most exquisite food, and the rich aroma of meat and beautiful appearance of the dishes attract attention, especially Taylor, a girl who has never eaten good food on the road. She picked up a silver knife and fork and thrust a lump of flesh that had been smoked to a golden brown. Amber oil dripped, and the scent of the air made Grant feel a little hungry.

The three mages sat down at the table to eat. Knights like Oba could only stand outside and nibble on dry bread, and they sat teasing the black horses and chatting with each other about what had happened to them recently.

"In seven or eight days the Noah's wall door will be opened, and I think we need to rest here for a while."

"Yes. In the past few days, I will take the time to meditate here and study some of the spell theory books that come with me. ”

Tiffel and Grant kept talking, planning the main preparations and waiting for the next few days.

After lunch, Grant went to the innermost right room on the second floor, which was the accommodation arranged for Grant by the owner of the inn. Inside, in addition to the bed and a table with a set of drinking utensils and a writing desk, there is a row of red wooden bookshelves, where many common stories about the mage cluster are placed. Or rules to follow.

After resting in the room for a while, Grant planned to read and record all the books left behind by Master Kuran in his mind as long as he had not finished reading them, so that he would have a certain foundation for teaching students in the Shadow Academy in the future, and he knew that he must rely on the development of the Shadow Academy when he first entered.

The time of the hotel passed peacefully.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"The elemental system is the most common system of white-robed mages, including thunder, earth, water, and fire. and even fog, a kind of physical rule spell of stones, itself includes the category of plastic energy. Most mages specialize in one or two of the best according to the type of mage they are good at. ”

Grant sat at his desk. Carefully browse a book about the three major departments of the white robe, which is very carefully introduced, the prophecy system and the alchemy system.

His pupils crossed a smear of blue data. Countless pieces of knowledge are stored in the mind.

Suddenly, a cacophony erupted below.

Grant frowned slightly and curiously. He had no idea that such a thing could happen in Hogg Town.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

The small wooden door was slammed, and some dust was shaken off it.

"Who's out there? Say everything you need to say. If necessary. I'll come out right away, if not, I'll have to wait an hour to get things done. ”

"Mage Grant, no, Miss Tiffel, they're entangled by a stream of people who call themselves the Staff of Light."

There was a hint of urgency in the voice outside, and the familiar voice let Grant know that it was his coachman, Oba, outside. It's just that at the moment he is full of anxiety and worry.

Grant opened the door and asked strangely, "What the hell is going on?" Why. ”

"Before, a group of people came and kicked our horses away, saying that it was a better place, and that they had to make way for the magic horse they were riding, and they not only did this but also knocked the rebellious Lester unconscious, and one of his arms was also cut off, and he said that the blood on his arm stained him, and made Tefeer lose a lot of money."

"Really?" Grant's face turned ugly.

He knew that the Staff of Light was a subordinate assignment of the Staff of Mages, one of the four major forces in the mage cluster except for the Shadow Academy, and there was also a Staff of Darkness under its banner, representing black-robed mages who were good at undead and spells. Usually the Staff of Light is very arrogant.

"Come out with me, I'll try to come up with a solution."

Grant put on the black robe placed on the wall and immediately went downstairs.

On the street outside the inn, there was a circle of white-robed mages around, and in the center of them was Tefir who had been apologizing, and in front of her was a long, golden man with curled hair, a murderous scar on the face of a narrow horse, and gray-green eyes staring at Tefir angrily at the moment.

He scolded and said some ugly words in his mouth, and seemed to be in a bad mood, pointing at Tefier and scolding.

"Looks like I need to step in." Grant couldn't help but sigh. (To be continued.) )
