Chapter 1 Prologue - Heroes never care about money

The sound of the snowstorm in the crystal forest in winter is like a child's crying, heart-wrenching and unreasonable.

In such weather, all the animals in the forest, even those with thick fur, will stop foraging at the top of the food chain. They will curl up in their respective nests, licking their claws, and be honest.

Stay there, waiting for the snowstorm to pass.

But humans are different. Compared with most monsters that rely on fur and sharp claws to survive, they are too stubborn and too smart.

Humans stubbornly built towns on the bitter and cold land, and wisely built all the houses in the town into semi-buried styles to withstand the snowstorm in winter.

Lanbas-Erenau carefully came out of such a semi-buried arc-top house. The bitter snow made him quickly close the door behind him, separating the warm space inside the house from the wind and snow hell outside.

After quickly pouring a large bucket of slurry into the distance, he opened the door at a faster speed and retracted it into the arc roof.

The spilled water had lost all its heat and frozen before it landed on the ground.

The snowy night outside the house is cold and dangerous, but the hunting station in Erenor is warm and quiet.

There was a man in the stove, and the flames were burning. The orange flames filled every corner of the station with heat. Lan Bass, who had dumped the last bucket of water before closing the store, sat back to the heavy counter carved by stones.

Later, after wiping the countertop with a rag made of sharp-horned animal skin, he carefully said to the last guest sitting opposite him:

"We're going to close the store."

Although he hoped that the guest in front of him would check out and leave quickly, his tone was still calm and peaceful, for no reason - he felt that the last guest in front of him might not be easy to mess with.

Under the light and shadow of the fireplace flames, the person sitting in front of Lan Bass gently put down the wine glass in his hand and nodded gently.

He was not very glamorous in his clothes, and his style of wearing a very common local animal skin makes him look like he is more orcs than humans. On a little exposed forearm, he could see extremely strong muscles bulging like stones, which seemed to contain them.

Unparalleled power; a short white hair erected like ice on a cliff, and combined with his appearance of cutting a knife and chisel, giving people a feeling of being powerful without anger.

However, the fundamental reason why Lan Bass talks to this man calmly is not his appearance - most of the men in Essinbach have this look. No, the key to making Lan Bass calm is that the eyes flash from time to time

The sharp light like a carnivorous beast, and the strangely shaped heavy sword on his back.

Most hunters or adventurers who come and go to Aisinbach and go to the jungle to hunt with long-distance weapons, traps and magic as their main attack methods, and melee combat has always been the last resort.

[Only] Those who give up long-range attacks and fight directly with hand-to-hand are either fools or powerful warriors.

So he is very polite to the man in front of him. This is the same as his harshness to the woodcutters who sell firewood to him during the day. He never gambles, only plays safety cards----The old woodcutter who has no background has a background

You can rise and fall at will, while the soldiers in front of you should be treated with caution.

However, the next moment the man said, the calm expression on Lanbas's face disappeared:

"I want to sell something to you to pay for my wine, and the firewood fee you should pay to Barney Rose during the day."

One sentence, two meanings, each made Lan Bass alert and angry: First, the man in front of him seemed not to be planning to pay; second, he seemed to want to help Barney Ross, the woodcutter who was sent away by him during the day.

.

Human beings are intelligent and stubborn. Lan Bass wisely understood the situation he might face next, but stubbornly refused to accept reality.

"We don't accept bartering, and, although I don't know what that guy Barney Rose said to you, I've paid for my firewood."

"However, the recommended price list hung at the entrance of the government affairs hall in the town said [Firewood: 10 copper coins per kilogram]. However, Mr. Arenault took away 20 copper coins but only paid Mr. Rose 50 copper coins.

"The man with a heavy sword raised his head and looked at Lanbas calmly.

"This is the market, isn't it?" Lanbas answered slowly, raising his hand and paused on the bar with his wine glass. "The guiding prices set by His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers cannot accurately reflect Aisinbach's verdict.

The situation in such a small place.”

"Yes, market, haha," a sarcastic pattern appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, which looked like a cat before culling the prey. "Then go back to the previous topic, I hope to sell something,

Come and pay for my wine, and Barney Rose….”

"We don't accept barter," Lanbas raised his voice. "And you'd better not stand up for Barney. I tell you, this, I'm the firewood is only worth this price!"

As Lan Bass finished speaking, the door behind the station owner opened, his confidence - a young woman in a robe walked out slowly, her golden hair was tied behind her head, her skin was as white as snow, and her blue eyes

There was a light of wisdom flashing in it, and a pair of pointed ears from her elf mother trembled gently.

Serena Erenor, Lanbas' daughter, is a level 2-level empire mage who went home to visit relatives during the winter vacation.

And, the temporary guest appearance of the Hunting Station.

"Sir, please don't make things difficult for my father," Serena tried her best to persuade him as calmly as possible, "We really don't accept bartering, and the gentleman probably just passed by

Isn't it? You can't protect Barney Ross for the rest of your life."

The mage Serena doesn't like some of his father's behaviors very much, but if she is asked to choose one between maintaining her father and maintaining justice, she will decisively choose her father.

So at this time, the mage's meaning is very clear--as soon as you leave, the helpless Barney Rose will still have to live here. At that time, the weak wood chopper may encounter some misunderstandings.

Something good is now.

"Ms., I think your father will be happy to buy my goods."

The man grinned, and then, something that almost made Serena's chin drop happened - this man who looked like an orc berserker in front of him, raised his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, like a mage opening the mage space

Generally, he took out a ragged war hammer from the air!

The man in front of him is a mage?! But why there is no magic fluctuation?! And even if he is a combat mage with a high level, which mage would store such a broken hammer in the mage space?!

"Let me clean up the package now and let's talk about business. I hope to sell it to you. This is the one [without urgency], which costs 2 gold coins, 33 silver coins, 70 copper coins, thank you." Sailei

Na watched the man squint and smiled and pushed the big hammer in front of her father.

What a joke, selling two gold coins with such a broken hammer?! How could his father accept such a deal...

"The shop doesn't have that much money." Lanbas sneered.

"It's okay," the man shook his head, "You must know that I never care whether the store sells enough money. Believe in yourself, you have money."

As the man finished speaking, something that Serena felt incomprehensible happened. Her mentally normal father, and she could never be a mage-like father, raised her hand and grabbed it in the air, and even grabbed two out of thin air.

The gold coins, four silver coins, and seven copper coins with a denomination of 10 were handed over to the man.

"10 silver coins are used to pay for my wine and meals, and 1 silver coins are left for 50 copper coins for Old Bannie - this is the difference," the man smiled and put a large handful of coins on the bar, counting them while muttering, "I myself

Leave a gold coin and give it to you the rest, which is considered to compensate you for your mental loss, which is good? In this way, everyone will be happy. Old Banny will have money to buy essentials tomorrow and survive. You have made money, and I have obtained it.

Fun, okay?"

After saying that, the man pushed some of the money back to the stunned Lanbass.

"Wait, me, what's going on with this money..." Lan Bass looked at everything he could not understand in front of him, and stammered and couldn't speak.

He couldn't understand at all how he caught so much money out of thin air?

If he had the ability to make such a big change of real money, what else would he open a hunting post? He had already gone to the capital with his daughter, and he had already taken his wife back from the elves?

Lan Bass was surprised, her daughter Serena was even more surprised. As a mage, she had much more knowledge than her father who was offering him to study. As far as she knew, in this huge world, looking around, there were so many mages in the seven major countries.

And the alchemist, no one can do such a thing without a little magical fluctuation.

How could her father, who had not passed the magic apprenticeship for 7 years?

He can't even do five years of magic or three years of simulation.

So, it's impossible!

However, now there may be a reason to do it...

"The Empire strictly prohibits mages from using spells on currency without official authorization. If they are made of gold, it is even more explicitly prohibited. Although I don't know who you are, since I have seen it, as a mage, I cannot sit idly by and watch,"

Serena pulled her hands out of her sleeves, and sparks oozed out from her fingertips, as if fireflies were flying. She looked at the man with a serious expression and said, "Please follow me to the nearest mage tower!"

"Oh, it turns out to be a prohibited matter," the man nodded, "No wonder Old Barney was scared by me and didn't want to be reluctant to do so. He didn't say it clearly. It seems that the trading system can't be used casually in the future. Cut,

I wasted 10 points, and I was wrong."

Trading system? Points? Serena listened to the man muttering words that she couldn't understand.

"But if you don't talk about this today, I won't talk about it, and no one knows it. Just that little money, forget it?" The man pushed the money like Lanbas again, smiling with a social person on his face.

"When Mr. Banny asked for money for firewood, wasn't he very principled? Why is it so unprincipled now? We can't ask for this money, you have to go with us!" The mage Serena stared at her eyes, frightened.

Lan Bass, who was about to put away the money, shrank his neck.

"I don't have any principles now. If you don't want money, I won't stop you. I can hand over all this gold coins to you, but if you go to the Mage Tower, you'll be exempted."

He shrugged, and his eyes were filled with beastly light again, "You guys, I'll leave first."

After that, the man got up and left.

"Stop it!" The stars of fire condensed into a long whip of flames in the air, rolling towards the man.

Among the second-level spells, the flame prisoner, and the only one with a confinement effect is the one that has the power to be confined.

The next moment, just before the fire snake licked the man, a green light mask that kept spinning suddenly appeared, covering the man's entire body.

The flames hit the green cover, like water hitting the rock, the flames splashed everywhere, and then disappeared without a trace.

Serena could sense that her magic power was cut off out of thin air.

Turning back suddenly, the suffocating coldness and bloody smell emerged from the man. The bloodyness made Serena feel that her mouth seemed to be filled with the smell of blood, and the cold made the young mage feel everything inside and around her.

The calories seemed to be drained by something.

The burning flames in the stove suddenly turned into an ice blue color, and the blood-colored light boiled in the eyes of men.

Serena gasped heavily, the cold and bloody breath was like a knife, making her almost unable to breathe. As her chest was undulating, the mage felt that her heart and lungs seemed to be frozen, and the bloody breath was wandering in her mouth, making

She was almost disgusted.

The next moment, the man took a deep breath, the blood in his eyes disappeared, and the color of the flame changed from ice blue to orange. He looked at him sitting on the ground, his face was full of fear and trembling, and the place where he fell had already oozed out.

A large pool of water stains on the female mage couldn't help but look amused and crying on his face.

"It's actually... why bother? The lady over there, believe it or not, I didn't mean it."

After saying that, the man pushed open the door and walked into the wind and snow.

The wind and snow were whistling around him, but they could not hurt him at all. The man carrying the big sword walked towards the distance while recalling the choice he had made a week ago, and couldn't help but curse:

"MLGB, it would be great if there was an actor, and it would be so friendly. However, in this case, the female mage should spread some interesting rumors. In this case, there would be fun? Hehe...."

The man muttered while hiding into the darkness.

Only a few runes on the great sword were left, illuminating faintly in the darkness.

So, after a long few months, a new book was opened
