Chapter 8 Quest for Spells

With the thought of just living an ordinary life, Xia Lan finally worked peacefully for two days. During these two days, he integrated several spells he had learned and was able to launch a very weak attack.

's attack.

For example, create a sword heated by fire, and then launch it through a force spell...

Then he damaged the floor of his house and made a hole in the sofa.

On August 15th, exactly one week after Xia Lan came to this world, after experiencing two (actually more than one) life and death crises, he finally survived the most difficult period and took root in this world with difficulty.

(Referring to working steadily).

"It seems that I still have a desire for the Origin Stone?" He helplessly remembered this matter that he had put aside for several days, and got a headache.

——He has no "safe" way to obtain the Source Stone.

In fact, he learned yesterday that he could go out of the city to look for Origin Stones in the wilderness, but due to the development of the city, he had to go at least a hundred kilometers away to find mineral spots, otherwise he would have to wait for the entire city cluster to move to a new place.

But it is a pity that he cannot find any means of transportation, and Longmen currently has no plans to relocate.

Hire people to go to the wilderness to find source stone mining areas?

If you don’t have 10,000 yuan, you still want someone to take you into a dangerous area where the Source Stone exists!?

All in all, it's still a matter of money. With money, all the problems he faces now can be solved...except finding a wife.

So he said that this morning he came to the entrance of the organization that evaluates Origin Stone skills, and signed up for the first-level magician assessment at the counter. He planned to try his luck. He felt that at least he had learned some magic and could always get it.

Points.

The waiting time passed quickly. At about nine o'clock, he heard the entrance bell and walked into the examination room with the hope that "the halo of the protagonist must be effective."

This examination center holds magician assessments in the middle of every month, ranging from level one to level three. It is a very popular examination center and it seems not difficult according to what is said on the Internet.

Not difficult... right?

Half an hour later, Xia Lan walked out with a sad face and handed in the paper in advance, but it was blank.

but!

It wasn't that he learned nothing, he also got a lot of useful information from those test questions.

First: A first-level magician is almost like the junior high school mathematics of this world. The difficulty of knowledge in primary school English is not as simple as he thought, but as long as you study hard, you will be fine.

Second: The structure of the spell is indeed like a circuit board, connected by "spell nodes" one after another. There are several examples in the paper, including the spell that is included in several spells that Xia Lan has learned.

node.

But that question was a true or false question, and he didn't know whether that spell node was the effect of the "traffic limiter".

Third: Spells include not only pure spellcasting, but if you want to become a magician, you must learn various calculations, just like doing exam questions.

Anyway, it is very troublesome. After the general magician has become very proficient, he will only think about getting a hundred points for the current level when he has nothing to do. Otherwise, he will usually be done with eighty or ninety points and go directly to a higher level.

A level magician.

There are also more subdivided titles for grades, namely "lower rank, upper rank, top rank", but even the so-called lower rank must test at least 70 points.

If you simply pass the exam, you will not be issued a formal magician certificate. From this point of view, it is slightly more stringent than the exam in Xia Lan's previous life.

Well, Xia Lan is not qualified to say more now. If you want to become a magician, you have to memorize the basic spell node collection (language), basic Origin Stone theory (physics), calculation of Origin Stone energy and its conversion system (

Mathematics), the use of Originium devices and their connotations (general technology).

"Did you really just look at the table of contents and appendices of the textbook and then think about the exam?" Xia Lan felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry, and finally recognized this sad fact.

"Forget it, let's go shopping and then go to work. That store is not far away."

He thought, so he just started shopping around, and soon he came to a shopping street, planning to have lunch in advance.

Looking at the traces of various sources of energy flowing in the world, and looking at the source energy fields of different passers-by with their own characteristics, his mind was still full of resentment that he had added a little and distorted.

Compared with people who are highly skilled in performing arts and can be specially recruited, talents with partial subjects like him basically have to be promoted through school, which is very uncomfortable.

"Why do all these...protagonists start with E and grow to A?" He thought, and for the time being he still considered himself to be a protagonist.

Just when he couldn't help complaining about his situation, he suddenly felt something different.

There are some strange source energy traces in the air. Compared with the chaos of other traces, it seems to be flowing in one direction, which is very suspicious.

"Go over and have a look." He couldn't help but have this idea.

"What's the danger? Every time I'm curious about what I want to see, I always run into trouble." Another thought came to his mind.

They started fighting.

In the end, the idea of ​​"seeking wealth through danger" paid off.

Xia Lan followed the trace of source energy to the corner of the street, looked to the other side, and then saw two people sitting on an outdoor table and chairs outside a tea shop, with surprised expressions on their faces.

It turned out to be Ceylon and Black!

A lot of information about them popped up in his mind, but he couldn't find any information related to Longmen. He couldn't help but wonder: Why are they in Longmen?

The trace of source energy came from a box in front of Ceylon. It seemed to be some special source stone device.

"Is this some kind of social research?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself, recalling Ceylan's identity - a graduate of the Royal College of Magicians in Victoria, who seemed to be majoring in Originium research.

According to Xia Lan's estimation, she should be at the level of a fourth-level magician now, which is really amazing.

Now that he knew there was nothing special, Xia Lan took a quick look and prepared to go back and continue shopping on his own street. He should not have anything to do with them now.

And the moment he turned around, Ceylon suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where he was, and said softly: "The person we want has been found."

Hei stood up following her gaze, looked at Xia Lan's back and said, "I'll bring him over right now, miss."

"Remember to be tactful in your attitude. We still need to discuss with others to help us with things." Ceylan reminded, waved to her, and said quickly: "Don't let them run away."

"Yes, miss." Hei responded, and then walked briskly to catch up with Xia Lan, who was about to buy some foreign snacks she had never tasted before on the street.

Her golden eyes stayed on him for a few seconds, and she quickly judged his condition based on years of experience: he was physically weaker than most ordinary people, and he didn't seem to have a fighting instinct.

However, just when she was about to go over, the young man with his back to her suddenly turned his head and looked at her without warning, showing a puzzled look.

Xia Lan looked at Hei who was looking at him not far away. She just broke into his source energy perception range and attracted his attention.

The source energy response of an infected person is very different from that of ordinary people, which is why he can react without paying special attention.

Black Room Xia Lan looked at her, with a hint of surprise between her beautiful brows, and couldn't help but speculate: "Is this the person with the special perception spell that the young lady is looking for?"

She thought, so she simply walked over to Xia Lan who was chewing bread and asked: "Excuse me... friend, can you come with me? Our young lady needs... help."

She spoke in a difficult-to-pronounce Yanguo dialect, which made Xia Lan laugh.

"You can speak Common Language, miss." He responded, finally using another language that had been stored in his memory for a long time.

The original owner's native language was Common Language when he was a child, and he later learned Yanguo dialect after entering an orphanage. Although he doesn't know why he can remember it so clearly, it should be related to his parents, and maybe he can explore it in the future.

But it's a pity that he doesn't have any corresponding memory.

"Okay," Hei nodded slightly and explained again: "Our lady hopes to invite you to do a commission, and the reward will be quite generous."

Xia Lan raised his eyebrows and showed a slight joy, but he still said reservedly: "Well... let's take a look first, and I will try my best to help you."

Although he looks like this on the surface, he is already happy in his heart. This time he must have triggered a special branch line, and it is also a very safe branch line!

Hei nodded, then took him to Ceylon and explained: "This is my young lady."

After she finished speaking, she stood tall and looked like a bodyguard. This look made Xia Lan feel a little at a loss.

"Hei, don't be like this." Ceylan scolded her, and then said to Xia Lan: "Hello, please sit down."

Xia Lan nodded and sat down without refusing. His eyes paused on her face for a moment and then asked: "Miss, why are you looking for me?"

When he looked at Ceylan, he couldn't help but admire her beauty in his heart. Her flawless facial features and beautiful long pink hair looked quite eye-catching, and her ladylike temperament added a bit of nobility and purity to her.

, like a green bird on a branch, proud yet elegant.

Xia Lan lamented that it was fleeting, and Ceylan then responded: "We need your special talent for sensing the Origin Stone, and we hope you can help us."

"Is this what I'm using?" Xia Lan looked at the small box on the table. Although it was still emitting the reaction of the Origin Stone, it no longer emitted the strange spells and the like before.

"Well, I just used it. It's a bit abrupt to call you here in this way." Ceylon explained with an apologetic look.

Xia Lan didn't care. She shook her head and asked speculatively: "Are you going to do some research on the Origin Stone? Do you want me to observe it or do you want me to help you find things? If the reward is suitable, then I will take it."

Seeing how happy he was, Ceylan's face suddenly lit up. He quickly took out a piece of paper from the small bag and explained: "All the things we want you to do are on this."

Xia Lan took it and looked at it. He probably said that he wanted to go out of the city and go deep into the Source Stone area, and then look for Source Stones with special properties, which would assist them in their research to a certain extent.

Xia Lan looked at the content above and felt quite uncomfortable. She didn't expect that she would get the opportunity to directly contact the Origin Stone.

He turned to the back and read on, and then his eyes almost popped out. The amount of reward was simply outrageous!

"The base is 40,000 Longmen coins. If there are special discoveries, you can add more. You can choose some other things, but they must be within our acceptance range."

If converted, it would be close to 10,000 RMB on earth. This is a huge sum of money that is unimaginable for a migrant worker, and now he can get it in about a day just by going on a mission.

"Done!" He clenched his fists slightly excitedly.

Ceylon looked at Hei strangely, as if asking if he had given too much.

Hei nodded without denying it at all, but didn't say anything, completely looking like he was letting the young lady off.

Ceylan glared at her angrily, then looked at Xia Lan who had come back to her senses, and asked, "So did you take it?"

He explained in common language with a slight embarrassment: "I have accepted your commission, but I hope it can wait until tomorrow. I still have work today."

Ceylon thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Then let's meet here at 7:30 tomorrow morning. We will leave the city at that time."

"Okay." He responded.

…

The beautiful girl held up a lace umbrella and left with the tall Hei, seemingly still chatting excitedly.

Xia Lan watched them disappear on the street, and suddenly took out her mobile phone, took one look at it, and cursed: "*Yanguo swears*! You're going to be late!"

…

After a moment, Xia Lan rushed into the restaurant where she worked, changed her clothes and started her busy work.

But the amazing thing is that when he was serving a certain table of customers, he was asked for a social networking account, but he refused because he already had a lover. The two cute girls looked regretful, which made him feel a little sad.

I can't bear it anymore.

In fact, he didn't register the account and couldn't remember the password of the original owner clearly, and he kept trying to forget it.

But he still had a firm idea. He had already decided to find his wife when he was strong enough, even if he died!

"Hiss—" He seemed to have thought of something while holding the dishes, and suddenly took a breath.

It was mentioned in the previous contract that you can make a not excessive request in addition to money, so can you ask Ceylon to teach you magic?

She can even become his nominal mentor, so that he can learn spells openly, even if she doesn't actually teach at all.

Xia Lan discovered a blind spot.

"Order~" A familiar call not far away interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to reality.

After delivering the food, he stopped by the table. He was stunned for a moment, then took out the order and said directly: "The soup base is extra spicy, right?"

The beautiful dragon girl, who exuded scorching heat like a flame, looked surprised and asked curiously: "Do you still remember me?"

Xia Lan shrugged and explained, "I've never seen such a spicy-food customer who is alone."

He paused and felt that something was wrong with what he said. After all, he said that there was only "one person"... It felt like he might have touched a sore spot on her?

But Nian didn't seem to notice this. Instead, he sighed sadly: "Oh, it's true. I can't find any like-minded pot friends. I really don't know what's so good about those pot bottoms that have no taste at all."

food."

The corner of Xia Lan's mouth twitched, but without saying anything else, he continued to ask her to order, but she complained a few words about his haste and then finished the order.

…

On his way back from get off work, he happened to see a young fishmonger who looked rather ferocious. His dead fish eyes were really scary.

When he got home and watched TV, he looked for a few nearest news stations and planned to catch some news. Unexpectedly, he saw Wei Yanwu's speech. He basically talked about the public security issues in Longmen and said that management should be strengthened next.

"Fortunately, I was caught earlier." Xia Lan looked at the new policy and shook her head in amusement.

If this new policy is implemented, he is expected to be fined a lot more, and more importantly, he will be detained for a week, and his life may be problematic by then.

"Well, I hope Ceylon can agree to my request by then. If a special source stone can be found, the probability will be greater."

He thought, and switched to other channels to watch other news, natural disasters, scenery, foreign reports, and all kinds of things, trying to learn more about the outside world.

…

After finishing his work in the evening and returning home, Xia Lan thought about it and packed up his clothes to prevent possible unexpected situations... Of course, he didn't expect to use them then.

Absolutely not!

He's had enough of the misfortunes that come his way!
Chapter completed!
