Another World: The Failed Magician

After leading Lu Xuan to the door of the captain's cabin, the blonde woman chatted with him casually for a few moments before leaving.

Lu Xuan pushed open the door and entered. What came into view was an elderly white man with white hair. The old man was wearing an outdated military uniform of the Loca Federation and had a pipe in his mouth. When he saw Lu Xuan enter, the old man put out his pipe and observed Lu Xuan with his old eyes.

Seeing Lu Xuan approach, the old man stood up and slowly extended his calloused hand, saying, "Hello! My name is Vic Cassie, you can also call me Captain Vic."

Seeing the old man extend his hand, Lu Xuan also extended his hand and shook hands with the old man, saying, "Hello, Captain Vic. My name is Lu Xuan. May I ask what business Captain Vic has with me?"

Captain Vic first gestured for Lu Xuan to sit down before speaking, "I've heard about you from Dean White. Dean White said you're a high-level mage, but I don't know if that's true or not."

Captain Vic looked at Lu Xuan's young face and began to have some doubts about Dean White's claim that he was a high-level mage.

Lu Xuan didn't say much, as he released the magical energy fluctuations belonging to a high-level mage within his body.

Upon realizing this, Captain Vic quickly apologized, saying, "It was I who underestimated Mr. Lu Yao. I apologize to you."

Lu Xuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, and said, "Captain Vic, why don't you tell me what request you have for me?"

Captain Vic nodded and said, “I have indeed encountered some difficulties. I have also written to Dean White for help. He told me that there is a young mage with an Eastern appearance on this voyage, and he said that I can ask you for help.”

Upon hearing Captain Vic's words, Lu Xuan replied expressionlessly, "Since you know Dean White, you should also know that seeking my help comes at a price."

Captain Vic nodded, and as he spoke, he took out a top-grade magic crystal from his spatial ring and said, "Of course I know about this."

Looking at the top-grade magic crystal, Lu Xuan, who had initially been expressionless, showed a slight change in expression.

This is a top-grade magic crystal! It's a whole level higher than a superior magic crystal. If you exchange it for resources, it would be enough to train a high-level mage.

The rarity of top-grade magic crystals made Lu Xuan even more serious. He didn't believe that a simple matter would prompt Captain Vic to offer a top-grade magic crystal as payment.

After playing for a while to calm himself down, Lu Xuan said coldly, "You have to tell me about the commission first. After all, such a high reward makes me a little worried."

Captain Vic was not surprised by Lu Xuan's reaction. He casually pressed a button on the table, and instantly, a magic circle appeared beneath their feet.

Lu Xuan recognized it as a soundproof array at a glance.

After doing all this, Captain Vic finally spoke, "You were introduced to me by that old guy White, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. You know the current situation of the Eastern Dragon Empire. So I hope you can protect a group of people. Of course, I also know that you must have your own reasons for coming to the Eastern Dragon Empire. You don't need to follow them the whole time. I will locate their tools for you. You just need to help them when they are in danger. How about that? Isn't it a good deal?"
