Chapter 18 The Old Pastor's Assistance

Because when Anno casts his spells, it seems he really doesn't use a magic wand.

How is he supposed to explain this?

"In conclusion, either Anno is a once-in-a-century magical genius who can cast spells without using a wand."

The old pastor offered his conclusion, saying, "Either he's not an apprentice mage, nor a professional, so it's normal that he doesn't have a professional insignia!"

Brooke glanced at Anno, sensing the faint magic emanating from the latter, and shook his head.

"After becoming a professional, you should have at least 100 points of magic power. But Anno's magic power level is too low, at most forty or fifty points!"

This level of magical power is far from meeting the requirements of a professional.

The old pastor glanced at Harry and continued, "That means Anno is the latter!"

"But...but he took us all down by himself!" Tommy couldn't help but retort.

The old pastor, without even looking up, said, "Perhaps it's just that you're not skilled enough!"

"Then how do you explain the injury on my hand?" Harry had no choice but to bring up his injury.

"I've examined your injuries; they were caused by the corrosive acid from the slime! If it were magic, corrosive magic is beyond the capabilities of an apprentice mage!"

The old pastor stroked his beard and said, "Anno has been hunting slimes on the grasslands these past few days. He himself was injured by the slime's acid yesterday and came to me for treatment. Your hand... he must have slipped some collected slime acid onto your hand when you weren't looking!"

Harry was stunned.

Anno was also stunned.

Anno was stunned after the old pastor spoke.

It was clearly him who used the magic [Acid Spray] to injure Harry.

According to the old pastor's interpretation, it turned out that he had used a dirty trick and poured the slime's acid on Harry's hand.

The key point is that, given the current situation, Anno has no choice but to follow the old pastor's lead.

"I didn't expect you to have figured it out."

Anno bowed to the old pastor and flattered him, "As expected of a pastor, you can't hide anything from you!"

However, I cannot disclose the method for collecting slime acid.

I was hoping to use it to hunt enough slimes to earn money and become a professional!

Brook nodded when Anno took out a low-level slime skin.

"Anno has undoubtedly hunted slimes, otherwise he wouldn't have slime skins in his pocket."

Brooke had already followed the old pastor's line of thinking and concluded that it was Anno who had injured Harry with slime acid.

Harry recalled his previous fight with Anor and wondered if Anor had actually injured him with magic.

Harry was somewhat shaken by the common knowledge that wizards use wands.

As for believing that Anno is a magical genius...

That was definitely impossible, and Harry didn't dare to even consider it.

Offending a genius magician is vastly different from offending a skilled fighter who can injure people with slime acid.

"Did you guys see clearly just now? Was he using magic or not?" At this point, Harry actually hoped that Anno had hurt him with slime acid.

Tommy: "I don't know! You were injured in the blink of an eye, sir!"

Burton: "I didn't see it clearly!"

The other two also shook their heads.

"Ugh, I guess I'm just unlucky!" Harry muttered under his breath.

The thought of being injured by someone who wasn't even a professional made him grit his teeth in anger.

Harry walked up to Anno, stood on tiptoe, and whispered a threat in Anno's ear: "You just wait, people who offend me never get away with it. I don't believe you'll never leave this town!"

Is this guy trying to cause trouble for me outside of town?

Anno glanced at Harry, who was leaving with his men, with a grave expression.

If the other party really waits for him outside, Anno really needs to be careful.

The previous battles were fought separately by Harry and his group.

If all five of them attack together, Anno will definitely be at a disadvantage.

"If I can summon large slimes, I won't need to worry about them causing any trouble!"

Anno sighed inwardly.

Based on their encounters, the low-level slime was no match for Harry and his group.

Even if you summon five slimes to face Harry and his five companions at the same time, your chances of winning are slim.

However, Harry's departure brought this dispute to an end.

Anno immediately thanked the old pastor, Brooke, and Irving.

"We weren't much of a help!"

Brooke smiled wryly and said, "Harry relies on his brother and always acts arrogantly whenever he comes to town. Moreover, he leaves no evidence of his actions, so there's nothing we can do about it."

This is the first time he's ever been taken advantage of like this.

But don't be too happy yet. Harry will definitely hold a grudge against you and will look for an opportunity to get back at you.

Even though you have some ability, you should still be careful.

There is still a significant difference between ordinary people and professionals!

Brooke pointed to the wound on Anno's chest that had been cut by the [Sweep].

At this point, Owen leaned in, his face full of curiosity, and said, "Anno, are you really not a professional? This is the first time I've ever seen a non-professional fight off five professionals. I heard Harry is even a level 4 apprentice warrior!"

Anno smiled and shook his head, saying, "I haven't been to Valkam yet, I haven't learned any professional skills, and I haven't chosen a profession!"

"Then why don't you go?" Owen pressed. "With your talent, if you became a professional, your growth rate would be incredibly fast."

Anno said with a bitter expression, "I have no money. The priest told me that choosing a profession mentor requires paying 5 silver coins before I can learn a basic profession skill and become a professional. I'm hunting slimes every day to save up money!"

He tapped the short sword hanging at his waist and explained, "This weapon was given to me on credit by Uncle John from the blacksmith shop; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to afford it."

"I see!" Brooke and Owen nodded, stroking their chins.

Lenn, who had been wanting to interject, finally got his chance. He excitedly said to Anno, "My benefactor, if you need silver coins, I can give them to you!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, revealing five silver coins.

These are the silver coins Harry just gave to compensate the tavern for its losses.

"If it weren't for my benefactor today, my employee would surely have fallen victim to Harry's cruelty, and my conscience would have been tormented forever. Consider these 5 silver coins as Lightmoon Tavern's gratitude to my benefactor."

As Lun En spoke, his gaze toward Lü Yan and the other woman was filled with apology.

He had seen the two women homeless and pitiful, so he discussed with his wife about letting them work at a tavern.

I never expected that something like that would happen after I met Harry.

Fortunately, Anno appeared in time, otherwise the two girls would have been ruined.

Anno never expected that Lunn would actually pay 5 silver coins for this.

Given the cost of living in Gruul Town, the Lightmoon Tavern's weekly profit is only 5 silver coins.

To be honest, Anno was somewhat tempted.

If you offend Harry, the danger of hunting slimes on the plains will increase.

Now that I have the money to become a professional, I don't need to risk going out. I just need to wait a few days, and then I can travel to Valkam with the town's caravan, which is protected by guards.

The old pastor glanced at Anno and casually remarked, "You'll be even stronger after becoming a professional! Then you can find a job that pays off, and you can pay back Lenn after you've earned the money!"

"No need, no need to repay!" Lunn waved his hands repeatedly and laughed, "It's my honor to be able to help Lord Anno!"

In his speech, Lunn unconsciously used honorifics.

Previously, his tavern was frequently extorted for protection money by Harry, and Harry always chose times when no one was around.

There wasn't even a single witness, which rendered Lenn's report to the guards ineffective.

Now that Anno has punished Harry, Lenn has finally gotten his revenge.

Let alone 5 silver coins, even 10 silver coins would be enough for Lunn to pay!

"Okay, consider this money a loan!" Anno accepted Lunn's kindness and repeatedly assured him that he would repay the money.

"Sigh, I still owe Uncle John 2 silver coins. I'm already 7 silver coins in debt before even becoming a professional!"

That wretched Harry! If it weren't for him, I could have continued hunting slimes for money.
