Reincarnation Band Magician

"The monsters in the South are still so exaggerated."

"Look at the dark dragon I've seen."

"Cool! Is this for sale? I want to keep it."

"I'll give you this one, but be careful, it's a magical artifact. If you input magic power into it, it will evaporate. Just find something to store it normally. No need for money."

"This won't work."

“Once you’ve made one, the rest don’t require much imagination, and the cost is minimal.”

"Okay, then today's drinks are free for you!"

"It's better not to..."

At the beginning, the chat was very pleasant.

The boss, who is very professional, will not ignore any customer's needs, even during communication. Answering and remembering orders has become instinctive.

"this."

"it is good."

"It's a bit hard to drink. Next one."

"it is good."

"This is good, two more, and then the next one."

"Wait a moment, right away."

The customer who was ordering was so quiet. After giving his name, he didn't talk about anything else. The boss was not paying attention and was happy to chat with the guy he got along with while looking for wine and ingredients from various places to make cocktails.

"The situation nearby...in the north...wait a moment."

what happened.

The boss felt his forehead was wet and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

It's sweat.

It's not peak time at night, so why is it so busy and tiring?

The progress of the topic also slowed down.

How many guests are there today?

When I came to my senses, I touched my palm and it was empty.

Where is the cup?

He cleans the cups that fill up the wall when he has nothing to do.

The boss woke up as if from a dream.

Looking back, there was nothing.

And the counter was filled with wine glasses.

The elegant lady with blue hair took the last sip and pushed the glass with lemon in it aside.

"Huh... As expected, mixed drinks taste a bit stronger. It's just right now."

Although it was only one-third of a bucket, it basically satisfied her, and the cocktail had a good aftertaste.

The tipsy girl wiped her mouth.

"Please give me a glass of water to rinse my mouth, thank you."

Boss, I'm stunned.

Although he got the usual weekly income, the boss, whose hands were a little cramped, was not particularly happy.

His beloved cup had to be cleaned again.

Now, he is still confused and questioning common sense.

However, as I mentioned earlier, he is a well-educated boss. Before parting, he still diligently shared some important information:

"My dear, the nobles brought by the empire said they saw gold along the way - you know that, right?

"There's going to be chaos in the north again, please be careful."

……

Although I was shocked by the news, I was not ready to give up the trip.

Because many people know about that great demon clan - the leader of the Seven Collapse Sages, Mahat of the [Golden Country].

A demon who can be said to be arrogant. He often destroys villages he sees, but as long as you sense him in advance and escape, you will basically not be pursued. When he is in a good mood, he will not even get angry if he is attacked.

He has suffered countless defeats.

"Maybe this is why he's called the leader of the Seven Collapse Sages. After all, if the opponent isn't strong enough, it would be embarrassing for anyone who survives."

Qing used joking and humorous remarks to ease the tension of his two teammates.

The elf, who was originally in a good mood because he bought a good magic book in the afternoon, lost his smile.

"I won't show you that book today."

She jumped on the bed and covered herself with the covers.

"what?"

PS: 3k, -1, sorry, I felt sleepy and went to sleep.

Golden Journey: 137, Not Worth Being Happy About

Half a month has passed since leaving the Likel Canyon Fortress.

"Strictly speaking, we are now in the north. After crossing this mountain, we will reach the Earldom of Gulanat."

“They’re all trees…”

"If we take the main road, we'll be a longer detour. With Qing's flying magic, this way will actually be faster."

The three of them communicated with each other while looking at the map.

This is the last mountain range of the Central Hills.

"But correspondingly, monsters are also—"

Flillian raised her wand, and a flash of magic engulfed the forest.

"A lot more."

Xiangzi, who was about to take action, puffed up his cheeks and said, "Fulilian——"

"Xiang's magic is too noisy, and your perception is still not good enough, you need to practice." Fulilian shrank behind Qing to avoid the flying dust.

Qing used wind magic to sweep them away, "You two are making a lot of noise."

He had been planning to continue practicing crystallization after approaching.

The elf stared blankly at the sky. "It's so boring. I want to move around occasionally. Besides, Qing's magic is too slow to activate. I need practice too."

"Ok."

After the first shot, the forest became much emptier. Trees at close range evaporated directly, and those a little further away were broken. The roots of trees at the edge were also lifted up by the impact, which looked a bit miserable.

The elves obviously have no awareness of protecting vegetation. What is most lacking in this era is trees. Every other day, I hear Fulilian complaining that there are too many trees and they affect her ability to get sun.

What kind of elf is this?

……

Half a month after leaving the last stop, we arrived at the Earldom of Gulanat, which means we arrived at the edge of the north a full month after the journey began.

Several N cards were updated along the way, all of which are monsters with unique abilities.

Some were so concealed that even Fulilian couldn't detect them, some changed color and stuck to the trees, and some were as thin as a hair...

There is no pattern in the birth of monsters, as if there is no reproductive isolation, and countless magical combinations will appear every once in a while.

Most of them are like giant beasts that can release crude magic. Only a small number of them have evolved to the point of being close to demons and can use more sophisticated magic.

For example, the phantom ghost.

Kill them all.

Miss Xiangzi seemed to particularly hate monsters like the Phantom Ghost that could use mind control magic. When Qing sensed it, she told her directly and then blew it away with a cannon.

Maybe he doesn't want to see important people being fooled.

Hurrying on the road, clearing out monsters, sleeping outdoors, waking Fulilian up, feeding her, and trudging...

This has been the case for the past half month.

Back to the present.

Walking on the winding mountain road, the road ahead suddenly opens up and feels like it is sinking.

The mountain belt has come to an end.

Looking into the distance, I saw the human city.

The fortress style in the north is easy to identify. The broad and tall walls and towers always have a solemn and heavy feeling.

Then there are the standard sloping roofs. Looking from the top of the cliff, the residents' houses slightly neutralize the seriousness of the city.

“It looks like a good place to live.”

Fulilian clutched her stomach, "Can we make it before dinner? I'm kind of hungry."

"Well... try harder."

Qing hugged the two ladies and jumped directly off the cliff.

"Hey! Qing, say something!"

Xiangzi exclaimed, holding his friend with one hand and holding his skirt with the other.

The elf calmly admired the falling scenery, with her hair slapping her cheeks.

"This is really fast. Come on, Qing."

……

In this way, relying on flying magic, we will reach the city gate before lunch.

At this time, Fulilian stopped.

"Qing, just to be safe, become a human."

"Ok?"

Although she was a little confused, Qingzhao did it.

The elf reached out, as if stroking something, "I forgot before I came here, but from this distance, you... Qing can feel it, right?"

"Hmm," Qing confirmed that the strange feeling was not an illusion, "This is the first time I've seen such a scale. Has the situation in the north become so bad? It needs to be maintained around the clock."

"Only this barrier, this kind of barrier, is like this. It doesn't require too much magic power to maintain."

The girl who was left alone and given the holy letter D made a puzzled sound: "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Fulilian glanced at her and said, "So Xiang still needs to train. There is a barrier here, so it seems there is no need to hide it. There."

She pointed to a small black dot in the distance.

"It's a monster."

Qing skillfully stretched out his hand to the side of Xiangzi's eyes, and made a "zoom in" gesture with his thumb and index finger. Several round crystals appeared, acting as a magnifying glass.

It's a little trick from his new research.

A bird-shaped monster dived vertically, as if ready to attack humans.

Then, like water hitting a rock, it smashed into an invisible barrier and turned into magic particles.

What a satisfying suicide.

At this moment, Xiangzi finally caught the magical fluctuations, "What a huge scale..."

It's a barrier, a barrier that wraps around this fortress, and it's very strong.
