Chapter 40 An Accidental Wish
However, Izzy did not say that Lu Cang had to create some kind of magic or cultivation method.

It was just to give Lu Cang time to think.

Lu Cang murmured, "The professional code of a magician is to explore the origins."

"Sky Realm (LV: 152)"

The second-tier magic enhancement spell has been upgraded to level 152.

The Void Realm cannot benefit from the triple proficiency bonus of multicasting, nor can it improve through methods such as fighting monsters.

But you can practice anytime.

However, the proficiency required to upgrade the Void Realm seems to be much higher than that of ordinary spells.

As a result, it's still only at level 152.

Lu Cang estimated that he had about 230 million units of magic power within him...

In fact, after reaching 200 million, Lu Cang felt that he had reached his limit, but Kong Jing continued to raise his magic power higher and higher.

Having so much magic is useless.

Even if I pour in all my magic power to increase the power of the spells I've learned, releasing all of them at once will still cost less than 10,000 points.

The magic power consumed can be replenished in a single breath.

Mana should be a major concern for mages, but for Lu Cang, it's something he doesn't need to worry about at all.

Stretching complete.

Before going to sleep, Lu Cang took out a book of general knowledge he had borrowed from the library.

Take your time to carefully study the knowledge you might need tomorrow.

As I read, drowsiness gradually crept in.

……

A dreamless night.

The next morning, as usual, Lu Cang bought a copy of "The World's Great Shock" from a street vendor selling news.

However, the moment I saw the news on paper today...

Lu Cang's pupils contracted involuntarily.

World-class shock: The seventh-tier dungeon raid resulted in the complete annihilation of the adventure team! Is the end of the world for the continent of Ruilen imminent?!

completely annihilated?

What are you talking about?
Izzy and the others are so strong, how could that be possible!

Lu Cang quickly read the following text.

However, after quickly reading through the entire report, Lu Cang couldn't help but clench his teeth.

Oh shit.

Clickbait headlines, you deserve to die.

The adventure groups including Jielong, Huishen, Shaxue, and Xinzhou have been confirmed to have been completely wiped out.

However, a few of the most elite and powerful adventure groups are still continuing to explore deeper into the dungeon...

The adventurer group mentioned above that was completely wiped out does not include Iz and his group.

Iz's adventure group is called...Legend.

Their names are simple and unpretentious, yet they truly reflect their identity.

Izzy said that the name had actually been registered for a long time, and many people wanted to take it...

However, on the very day he registered his adventurer's guild, another lone adventurer came to cancel his guild.

And their name is [Legend].

Iz hadn't originally planned to register this name, but she happened to hear that they had cancelled it, so she discussed it with Akari.

Finally, the name of the adventure team was decided.

"At least... everything is alright for now."

The dangers of the seventh-tier dungeon were beyond Lu Cang's imagination.

I never expected so many teams to be wiped out on the first day of exploration...

I've heard that all the teams participating in this operation are the top-tier adventurers on this continent.

Yet he died so easily on the very first day.

Lu Cang clenched his fist involuntarily.

“Iz, you better really be stronger than them.”

Lu Cang breathed a sigh of relief; there was no point in worrying here.

Understand the world, enhance your strength.

This is all I can do.

With that in mind, Lu Cang decided to join the Adventurers' Guild and begin today's activities.

But when I turned my head, I saw a blank statue.

"There is no church or shrine in Raine."

Those who wish to offer prayers can only do so at an empty altar.

This is what Kumiloni said.

Da da--

Da da da da da——

Suddenly, a speeding and reckless freight wagon sped past Lu Cang from behind.

boom!
However, as it passed by, it made a dull thud.

The heavy cargo was left lying on the ground.

An altar with a specific form fell precisely into the middle of the road. Some gods have forms.

Some gods are formless.

Yacaticto is a god of form...

He has a specific appearance and particular adornments, all of which are recorded in the book, as if people had seen Him with their own eyes.

The idol before me.

The dangling four-leaf clover earring, the strange coin held in her hand, and the various details of her clothing all echo the Jacaticto from the book.

See this statue.

The people on the street fell silent, then rushed toward the altar of the idol like madmen, throwing their silver and copper coins around like fools...

Lu Cang glanced at the departing carriage; it seemed its cargo had been lost...

Hey... didn't you even notice that such a big item fell out?
Although there will be no specific shrines in the public areas, this does not prevent residents from ordering shrines to place in their own homes.

Seeing the townspeople scrambling to worship at Yakatikto, Lu Cang couldn't help but sigh.

Are these people all so fanatical in their worship of gods?

Lu Cang watched them quietly for a moment, like an elderly person observing a free egg giveaway...

then.

He slowly walked into the crowd...

Drop a gold coin.

Cross your arms in front of your chest and make a wishing gesture.

"Yakatico, if you can truly hear my wish, please bless Izparut and the others so they can return safely."

After dropping the gold coin, Lu Cang didn't care whether someone picked it up or it was actually taken back by some unknown force, and turned to walk towards the guild.

Will praying to gods be effective?

Lu Cang didn't know either.

I simply wanted to pray for peace for Izzy and the others.

"Ah~"

"Little Lu Cang, come quick, come quick!"

As soon as I entered, Hilly greeted me.

Lu Cang went over with a hint of curiosity.

"Oh dear, we suddenly received a lot of new quests yesterday, and we're almost short-handed with adventurers."

Lu Cang looked at the commission board to the side.

Orders are definitely booming.

It's already covered.

With her hands clasped together, Xili pleaded with Lu Cang, "Little Lu Cang, we don't have that many high-level adventurers in Rein Town. After Iz and the others leave, we might not be able to deal with these monsters for the time being."

"If we leave them unattended..."

Lu Cang nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Oh, so you want me to help you get rid of the monsters.

However, before it was Izzy and the others, now it's just me...

But what if I wait until I'm gone too?

What should they do?

Lu Cang was very curious.

They can't always have powerful adventurers passing by helping them with their quests.

"Okay, let me take a look."

"But Sister Hilly, if there aren't any powerful adventurers, how would you usually handle this situation?"

There are indeed many commissions.

The number of missions to hunt wild monsters has suddenly increased, with quite a few second-tier lords and even more third-tier ones.

The number of level 3 adventurers in Raine Town is limited.

Level 3 professionals don't need to venture out into dungeons or kill monster lords in the wild.

Even in the kingdom's capital, one can find a good job, earn a good income, and live a happy life.

Of course... this also means they can earn more money if they become adventurers.

Hilly sighed, "If we don't have enough adventurers to help us, we'll have to ask the kingdom for assistance. They'll send a task force to help us clear out the threats in the surrounding area."

This answer is indeed reasonable.

Raine Town belongs to the Kingdom of Loren, which seems to be a very powerful kingdom on this continent.

To be precise, Raine Town is the territory of Lord Raine, who owns more than a dozen such towns and two medium-sized city-states.

Even without requesting the kingdom's assistance, the lord of the territory would surely help Rennes Town resolve this threat.

Hilly continued, "However, since last night, quite a few adventurers have been heading this way..."

Lu Cang tilted his head in confusion: "Arrived?"

"Hmm... I saw in the kingdom's weather forecast that a monster tide is moving this way."

"So, in order to obtain generous rewards, the adventurers have come here in pursuit of the monster tide."

"They'll probably choose to settle in Raine."

 Some of the characters share the same names as those in Elona. I simply thought these names sounded nice, so I used them directly. However, the world view and character settings have no connection whatsoever. Apart from the names, everything else is my own original creation.
