Wild Elf Rainster had been in a pretty good mood recently.
His teacher, who had never paid much attention to him, had suddenly given him an unusually simple mission. Teach a lesson to a human alchemist who had just reached Second Grade. He had laughed out loud when he saw the information.
"He has mastered no more than three Second Circle spells, and the only offensive spell he's good at is Acid Spray. His summoned creature is a Second Grade Shield Guardian, and he can't carry it without spatial equipment. Is he asking me to bully a kid? No, this is basically bullying a goblin. "
"Don't underestimate goblins. There have been many variants of goblins recently. Some are so powerful that they can even use airplanes, cannons, and modern machines."
His companion's words were mostly teasing, but Rainster could hear the envy in his voice.
"Haha, go ahead and be envious."
Rainster was very pleased with himself. After all, this was a mission that Lord Irwin had personally given him.
As one of the five leaders of the Silver Emblem Traveler's Association, Master Irwin had over three hundred direct disciples and grand-disciples under his command. The fact that he had been chosen to carry out this mission was a sign that he was valued.
"… Maybe if this mission is carried out well, I can become an official disciple of the master."
Rainster couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart at the thought of this.
He had been in the Mage Country for thirty years. His talent couldn't be considered bad, but he was only a Second Grade mage now. That already explained a lot.
Of course, he didn't think that his talent was too bad. At the same time, his heart was too messy, and he didn't devote himself to his studies. In his opinion, it was his wild elf background that made others look favorably upon him. As long as he had the resources and the guidance of a master, he could still make a name for himself.
And now, after waiting for so long, the opportunity had finally come. He had to seize it. If he knew that he had only been casually instructed by Irwin to be his disciple, and that his disciple had found an old fellow who was powerful enough to die without regrets, he would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood.
However, judging from the current situation, he had indeed completed his mission very well.
It was an extremely coincidental encounter, an extremely coincidental mention of the other party's mother, an extremely coincidental insult, and an extremely coincidental discovery of the possible use of the other party's mother's corpse … Morden instantly exploded and issued a Duel of Mages.
Needless to say, one side was clearly superior in strength and had long since made preparations. They had all kinds of potions and scrolls, and even the steps and countermeasures for the battle had been prepared.
On the other hand, Karwenz was so angry that he lost all sense of reason as a mage, and he was even a logistics mage … Well, the end result was obvious. The only reason he was able to survive was because Karwenz didn't want to kill anyone, at least not until he figured out the mage's bottom line.
Rainster, who had successfully completed the mission, was drinking tea and bragging at the tavern he frequented while showing off the prize he had just received to his companions.
"Look, the Ruby Flame Bracers. When activated, it can instantly trigger a three-circle Flame Storm and Elemental Shield. They can be sold for at least three thousand gold coins on the market. As expected of a teacher, he gave out such a good item so casually. "
Hearing his bragging, his companions had strange expressions on their faces.
The item was indeed not bad, but why did it sound like a hired thug?
"If he really thinks highly of you and wants to recruit you as a mentor, Irwin has quite a number of great mentors and over a hundred official apprentices. It won't be hard to give you a spot.
Giving out such a valuable item, it should be quite obvious that he's even. "
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, but nobody said anything. Instead, they all had complex feelings.
Wasn't Karwenz usually a quick-witted person who could see right and wrong clearly? Why was it that he couldn't see anything when it came to himself?
After a while, everyone smiled awkwardly, but no one said anything, and no one pointed it out.
After all, this was a group of people who were unable to advance no matter how hard they tried. That was why they would group together and fight for any little bit of resources. A single official apprentice spot for an archmage was enough to instantly turn everyone against each other … To put it simply, they were just a group of friends who were useless.
Rainster, who kept a low profile, rubbed the bracers and talked about how pretentious he was for a while. He noticed that his companions weren't in high spirits, which actually made Rainster even more excited. He wondered if they were jealous that he was about to be promoted, which was why he kept repeating those lines even more irritatingly.
* Crack! *
But suddenly, there was a faint sound as the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"How could you be so careless? You'll have to pay for this. Two copper coins …"
Rainster's words suddenly stopped as he lowered his head to pick up the broken pieces. He noticed that the ground seemed to be tilting as the broken pieces slid directly to the wall on the other side.
"What's going on …"
He hurriedly got up, but noticed that his companions were all looking up at the sky. He reflexively looked up as well, but paused in surprise.
The starry sky seemed to be missing something … The missing ceiling of the tavern was now in the hands of a gigantic shadow. That shadow slowly lowered its head, and a loud sound echoed throughout the entire tavern like thunder.
"… I've … found … you … duel …"
Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.
Then, Irwin's Silver Emblem Traveler Society received seven injured apprentices. None of them died, but they probably weren't alive either.
15 hours ago, Rorschach had asked the apprentice Malton, who was still in his probationary period, a single question.
