"I really didn't expect to be able to encounter such a rare spell in such a small place." Fiddling with the two scrolls that stood on the table, Rielly touched her chin with a smirk. Obviously, in the small place of 'Upper Valley Town', it was really unexpected to find spell scrolls that could not be found in ordinary big cities.

Barrett, who was wiping the 'Broken Peak' on the side, touched the face of the ring and received it in the dressing ring: "The power of wizards or sorcerers comes from the otherworldly beings who have signed a contract with them. Similarly, their spells will change depending on who is contracted to be. Therefore, it is normal for some individuals in this profession to have strange and rare spells. ”

"But yesterday I was really shocked when I found out that there were Arcane Spellcasters in Upper Valley Town!" Hearing this, Rielly patted her head lightly.

"It's a wizard after all! Their need for resources and knowledge is not as demanding as that of you mages. And the types of spells they master are also more suitable for development in such a small town. Their status here is much higher than in the big cities. Clematis, who was rubbing the emblem in his hand, had apparently learned more about it through the channels of the church.

The wizards' spell list has been slightly expanded in terms of divine power, but at the same time it is much narrower than the mages in terms of arcane arts, which makes them inferior to other arcane professions, whether they are fighting with the army or adventuring in the wild. On the contrary, they have certain medical abilities and unique witchcraft, which makes them like a fish in water in small and medium-sized towns that are not very prosperous.

It's hard to find a dedicated person in a small place like this, so it's important to order a panacea like this. Of course, in the 'Upper Valley Town', because of the strength of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church, the wizard's status is not as good as that of other towns. However, the favorable local economic environment and business travel make the rapid accumulation of wealth enough to make the other party ignore the difference in status.

Hearing this, Rielly's eyes lit up: "Then for some players who don't like to fight, take a job as a wizard and make a home in the town." It seems to be a good choice! Although the returns are not high, the risks are small and trickle. ”

"Leave the other players alone. I'm more concerned about whether or not you can learn those two rare spells. This is especially true of the Common Summon Mount, which allows you to save a lot of spell slots. Barrett got back to business as soon as he got the chance.

Hearing this, Rielly was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and even the corners of her mouth began to face down: "This is very difficult!" You also know that the power of those wizards (sorcerers) comes from otherworldly creatures. Even if it's in the form of arcane, it's not easy for us mages to copy it into a spell book. So you have to do well for me to fail in my studies. The preparation of a scroll was wasted in vain. ”

"Is it difficult?" Barrett frowned and touched his chin, then turned his gaze back to the priest: "Clematis, can you find a way to get some inventory out of that wizard through the channels of the church?" Anyway, we still have a lot of money on hand, and you can give them more in terms of commissions. ”

"Alright! I'll try my best to look at that. Clematis nodded, but then his voice changed: "Although those parishioners should be willing to help, it is not certain whether the wizard has stock on hand or not. After all, in the town, he is most of the time directly providing spell casting services. I'm afraid it is rare to spend energy copying scrolls. ”

"Try your luck anyway! In particular, the 'Shared Summoning Mount' spell has helped us a lot now. "Barrett has never been the type to bow to suffering.

Knowing that Barrett is also thinking about the team, Clematis, naturally can't find a reason to refuse. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said, "I can't guarantee the outcome. ”

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I am fortunate to have lost my life! Compared with Clematis, who is a little involved in the play, Barrett himself is quite sober in this regard.

After getting up, Clematis first stretched, and then shook his waist and moved his muscles: "Then I'd better deal with this matter as soon as possible!" After all, we won't be able to stay in Upper Valley for a few days. ”

Saying this, Clematis pushed the door open and left the temporary residence of the 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' team, the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in 'Upper Valley Town' is not large, and it is relatively 'rudimentary' due to its specifications. Therefore, it is not possible to arrange private rooms for players like in other places. However, the bedding, mattresses and hygiene conditions here are not comparable to those of ordinary country hotels. Even without safety considerations, the living conditions are much better than the originally selected 'Passion Fire' hotel.

After waving a servant in the hallway, Clematis followed him to a stone room at the edge of the auditorium. The attendant stood still and knocked on the door, "Mr. Devon, Lord Bot has something to look for you. ”

Soon the door to the room opened. Then a man with a round belly and a bright Mediterranean Sea said with a slightly respectful expression: "Lady Bot, if you have anything to do, just let little Isser tell me directly." You don't have to make a special trip yourself. ”

"Don't use honorifics on me. Now I'm just a visiting pastor with no real power. At this point, Clematis bared his standard four teeth, "And even if there were any changes in the future, I wouldn't behave so rudely." The elders in my family always taught me that the respect I give to others is also respect for myself. ”

"You're lucky to have such a wise elder. What like me......" The fat Mediterranean man who said this sighed - I don't know if he was exclaiming in his heart, or if he was deliberately pretending to be in front of Clematis.

Clematis, who couldn't read the old fox's thoughts, immediately turned the subject to business: "The two scrolls that we obtained through you before are very important to us. So if you can. We hope to be able to continue procurement. We can compromise slightly on the price and increase the commission we give you. ”

"What commission is not commissioned. It's our pleasure to be able to do something for you. The Mediterranean pastor Devin immediately puffed his stomach and said.

Hearing this, Clematis shook his head: "I will definitely give the commission that should be given, this is my consistent principle." However, we still have two days left at most to recuperate in Upper Valley Town, so please Pastor Devin please act as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry! If there were still two kinds of scrolls in town. I'll get it back for you. "The fat Mediterranean man who said this. Immediately patted his shaking fat with his hand.

Rielly, who received the reply, nodded: "Then I'll wait for good news." Let's hope our luck isn't too bad. ”

Accepting the task, Pastor Devin sprang into action. After visiting the wizard first, he spent the next two days drinking tea at the homes of the various dignitaries in the town. According to the wizard, many of the scrolls he had made in the past had fallen into the hands of the town's leaders.

Under such efforts. Pastor Devin finally handed out the five scrolls before the players left: "These 3 'Shared Summoning Mounts' and 2 'Twilight Dust' are all the scrolls I can collect. Two of them were improvised transcriptions by the wizard Blair for the past two days. The remaining 3 are from the collections of the wealthy people in town. The only thing I don't understand is that they can't use these things themselves, so why did they buy them? ”

"Maybe I think that if there is a spell caster in my house one day, maybe it will come in handy! After all, spell items or something, as long as you find a way, you can always sell them. At the same time, the shelf life is long and there is no risk of depreciation, which can be regarded as a good investment method. As he said this, Clematis handed over a gold scroll of the Church worth 1,000 gold coins. The extra part of this is naturally Pastor Devon's commission - when he buys these items in 'Upper Creek Valley Town' in his capacity, he will never maliciously raise the price, so it can be regarded as a small profit.

Players who have taken a short break. Continue on your way after procuring sufficient supplies at 'Upper Creek Valley'. Unfortunately, the new 'Shared Summoning Mount' scroll will have to be learned and used by Tyri Elly next, so for the time being, she will only be able to deal with it with her previous spells. Fortunately, during the three days of resting in the town, Rielly used the vacant spell slots to fill the two over-consumed wands.

The mage, who was bounced on horseback, still remembered his failure in transcribing the 'Shared Summoning Mount' for the first time: "A little, a little bit of sincerity is almost a success." Why should fate be so cruel to me. ”

Truth be told, the failure to learn spells through scrolls is completely commonplace for the vast majority of mages. If it had been in the past, Rielly wouldn't have cared too much. Only this time the learning appraisal. The end result is almost a success. That kind of situation is so far off that Rielly can't mind!

"Peace of mind! Peace of mind! Didn't I send you several more? There are still plenty of opportunities to try. It's going to work out! "Klamatis, who was behind the mage's side, relieved his friend in this way.

But Rielly shook her head at this time: "I will have to camp in the wild for a long time in the future. That kind of environment is far from being in a temple, and it will also have a big impact on the chances of success in learning spells. ”

"Speaking of the next trip, do you have any plans now, Barrett? When will we be next? Realizing that he couldn't persuade the mage, Clematis immediately tried to distract Rielly with other topics.

Barrett, who was leading the way at the front, said without looking back: "Because I can't get any information that is too useful, I won't have too specific a plan." We now have to go north along the easterly trade route. The rest can only be improvised. ”

"Improvisation? This hand-shaking shopkeeper style is too inconsistent with Barrett's consistent style! Rather unladylikely, Clematis reached out and gouged out his ear, as if suspecting that something was wrong with his ear.

Although he was not able to see the specific reflection of Kleimatis, Barrett understood the surprise of this person from her words alone. He waved his hand and began to explain: "War is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment. The area we had passed through was in a period of recuperation. So the front is relatively stable. But the next northern route is said to be in full swing, and no matter how perfect the plan is, it will be just a piece of waste paper. ”

"The sunrise in the south and the rain in the north are doing wool!" Kleimatis couldn't help but complain.

The halfling wanderer who heard this immediately spoke: "That's because Klamatis, you haven't seen the war in the south of the Cruze Kingdom before. Before, the fighting in the south was still fierce, but now both sides can't fight anymore, so it's just a temporary correction to regain strength. ”

"Why does this make me feel like I have to fight all the way through! I hope that's my delusion! Klaimatis shook his head violently as he finished speaking. She didn't want to be nicknamed Crow's Beak herself.

The three-day trip ended without any waves, and the speed of the players who were speeding on the trade route was greatly improved. During this period, they also encountered two caravans heading south from the north, and from the mouths of the caravans, they had a general understanding of the battle situation in the north, and then made preliminary adjustments to the route of advance based on these messages.

The whip-wielding Barrett turned his head to cheer his companions on, "If nothing happens, our next destination, the town of Stoll, should still be in the hands of the Council of Nobles." It would be a suitable place to rest and recharge. We'll be able to have a hot meal in town in 2 days at most. ”

"Barrett, what do you see in the sky?" At this time, Lalu, who had become accustomed to looking at the sky during this time, stretched out his fleshy little finger and asked in the distance.

Hearing this, Barrett immediately looked in the direction pointed out by the catboy, and there was a black dot in the blue sky that was getting bigger. If you were a normal person, you might mistake it for some kind of bird. But the sharp-eyed catboy instinctively sensed something unusual.

"That kind of speed and size? Damn, at least a large creature, yelling to be careful and ready for battle. Barrett, who rolled over and dismounted, muttered to himself, "I hope it didn't come for us." (To be continued.) )

PS: The modification is complete. Thanks to the "Altar Fat Biao" for the big reward.
