I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

In this magical continent, some people in a family cannot understand how the family is viewed by outsiders.

For a big family like the Vodanaz, the family mansion is larger than some castles, and the family territory is almost equivalent to the size of a city.

People who live and work there are naturally accustomed to all kinds of rumors about the family and are too lazy to talk about them...

"What's wrong with the Vodanaz family?"

"Ah... there's no problem, absolutely no problem!" Nilia took another step back, her face looking more and more unnatural.

"Neilia, no matter what rumors you have heard, they are all nonsense." Ruan Xiaozhe comforted.

But even though Ruan Xiaozhe said this, Neilia did not let her guard down and still kept a certain distance from Ruan Xiaozhe and the other man.

Yunel also put aside his previous prejudice and took the initiative to comfort him: "There are always some ridiculous rumors about the nobles of the empire. You don't have to take it too seriously."

“Is that really… true?”

"Of course, although the rumors about the Vodanaz family are indeed a bit outrageous..." Yuner glanced at Ruan Xiaozhe who was confused beside her and smiled bitterly.

"..."

During the conversation with Yunel, Nilia sorted out her thoughts and encouraged herself: "Yes, even if it is the Vodanazi family, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Besides, Ruan Xiaozhe across from us doesn't look that scary. He's not even as scary as the Troll Professor."

Seeing the other party's expression, Ruan Xiaozhe was helpless.

"By the way, what have you heard about our family?" Ruan Xiaozhe stepped forward. Up to now, he knew almost nothing about the rumors about Vodanaz that were circulating among outsiders.

"..."

Nilia hesitated, not knowing whether she should say it.

To tell these rumors in front of the people involved is a bit...

The rumors are mainly:

The head of the Vodanaz family is actually a dragon. During the undead frenzy that broke out in the western continent, he flew a breath of dragon and burned all the undead.

The ancestor of the Vodanaz family once made a contract with a powerful ancient elf and gained powerful magical abilities, but lost their emotions.

The magicians of the Vodanaz family were cold-blooded and ruthless. During the riots of the Imperial Separatists, the magicians of the Vodanaz family appeared and wiped out the entire city.

…and so on and so forth.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the image of the Vodanaz family is much more terrifying than Ruan Xiaozhe guessed, just as Nilia said...

In the eyes of the common people of the empire, they are like "ruthless magical monsters that do not appear in normal times, but suddenly appear when something happens and sweep away everything."

"When a major event happens in the empire, of course a great magician will appear." After listening to what Nilia said, Ruan Xiaozhe tried to defend his family.

"Yeah, don't take it too seriously."

Ruan Xiaozhe felt aggrieved, and Yunel continued to comfort him.

Nilia thought to herself: "It seems that the rumors of losing love are false..."

……

"and many more."

"?"

"Something's wrong, look here."

Nelya pointed her finger at the ground.

There was almost nothing visible on the grass, but Nylia caught some traces with the unique senses of the dark elves and the experience of the shadow patrol.

"See? There's a big guy walking by here."

"But the marks aren't deep?"

"That's right, so he must be a smart guy. He controlled his power and didn't leave any traces, but he made a mistake when he ate this fruit here."

"Okay." Yunel was not very interested after hearing this.

She was only interested in alchemy and naturally didn't care about the tracking skills of these hunters. Yunel glanced around to see if she could find any herbs.

‘Tsk. ’

Neilia felt somewhat dissatisfied.

When we were on the Shadow Patrol, everyone got along very well. Everyone was a hunter or ranger, and most of the people in the village had family members on the patrol, so we could talk about anything, such as:

"It almost escaped. Its fur is so beautiful. I must catch it..."

"Hahaha! I understand. I had the same experience when I was young..."

People in their village can talk about prey for an hour.

In contrast, the people here are all different. For example, when Neilia talks to her peers:

"Well, I experienced this morning in the mountains..."

"Mountain?" Usually, Nilia would be interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Yes, I'm going hunting..."

"Hunting? Why?"

"Because I'm on patrol..."

"Why not just buy it with money?"

"…Are you looking for death?"

"Wow!"

……

At this moment, Yunel's reaction made Nelia a little annoyed.

But what can be done?

"Yeah, they're not hunters. I have to adapt."

"Oh, that's interesting, is there anything else?" Just as Nilia was thinking this, Ruan Xiaozhe's voice suddenly came into her ears.

"...!"

Ruan Xiaozhe's reaction surprised Neilia.

He actually listened carefully and showed great interest!

Nelya asked in confusion, "Really... interesting?"

She was a little uncertain and worried that Ruan Xiaozhe was just being perfunctory with her, just like those other young male nobles.

"Shouldn't this be interesting?"

"…It's not that it shouldn't be interesting, it's just that I didn't say it for you to find it interesting. Of course… Of course…"

"???"

Ruan Xiaozhe was also confused by the other party's chattering.

"She drank alcohol?" Ruan Xiaozhe muttered to himself as he looked at the other person.

Nilia realized that what she said was a bit confusing and quickly got back to the point.

"Well, anyway, when you find signs of a big guy like this, be careful. See where the grass is cut? That shows it had big claws."

"I see!"

Ruan Xiaozhe is naturally curious and likes to learn. Otherwise, how could he insist on taking the civil service exam when he had failed so many times in his previous life?

Not only the magic, but also the hunting experience of these hunters made him feel very interesting.

"Can you tell me its exact identity?"

"This clue is not enough."

Nelya folded her arms and said regretfully.

It is just a fantasy to expect an experienced hunter to guess the identity of the prey by footprints.

Only occasionally can hunters guess the identity from the footprints, because they have lived in that area for a long time and know what monsters are there.

But in unfamiliar places, it is impossible to guess it all at once.

“And I heard that there are all kinds of strange monsters around the magic school.” said Nilia.

"Ah, I've heard of it too."

Yunel nodded.

Einlogard is located in a land rich in magic, so many monsters are born under the influence of magic.

But there is another reason why there are so many monsters...

"I heard there are monsters created by experiments around the school."

"Also, due to discarded potions, rare slimes often appear."

"..."
