Chapter 048 Successfully received the mission
Fifteen-year-old Jingjing is a top student and is much taller than she was five years ago.
If measured by the height of a normal human being, he was about 150CM when he was ten years old, and 175CM when he was fifteen years old.
He grew very fast, comparable to an adult fairy, but his body was a little thin, and he looked like a teenager.
Shu Li didn't see Jingjing the academic master at dinner, but now she met her in front of the mission hall.
Kumandi glanced at the four goblins and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
The Quest Hall is where fairies post quests. Fairies who come here usually either accept quests or issue them. Why are these four little fairies, only five years old, rushing in so quickly?
"We want to find the amethyst tree." Angel spoke first.
"Cathy said that there is a team from the mission hall that goes to the amethyst tree regularly to collect." Disio continued.
"Making a magic wand requires a good shaft." Budno stretched out his arms and gestured. "Mr. Orochi gave Sperian a large piece of sunstone."
Kumandi roughly understood what they meant and looked at Shu Li with his violet eyes.
Shu Li nodded and concluded, "So we came here to see if there are any teams going to the Amethyst Tree to collect it recently."
Kumandi frowned: "You want to go together?"
"That's right!" Shu Li replied. "Kathy said that only by praying to the Amethyst Tree in person can you obtain the best branches suitable for your own use."
Although he is only a magic apprentice now, it does not prevent him from making a high-level magic wand first.
When Mr. Orochi learned that he had started learning magic, he went to a dangerous place to get him a piece of top-quality sunstone. How could he let it down?
Of course, I would make a magic wand as soon as possible, study hard, and work hard to become a high-level magician.
Becoming a high-level magician, he can grow bigger!
Then you can freely explore anywhere in the forest and visit Mr. Orochi often.
Shu Li frankly told Kumandi his thoughts. Kumandi was silent for a moment and then said to them, "Follow me."
"Yeah!"
The little fairy clapped his hands and flew into the mission hall happily with the black-haired young fairy.
Many adult and teenage fairies gathered in front of the task wall in the hall. When they saw a task that suited them, they flew to the reception desk to take the task.
Kumandi took the goblins directly to reception desk number four.
The adult goblin sitting behind the counter looked at Kumandi and the four little ones behind him in surprise.
"Hey, Kumandi, why are you back again?"
"I want to bring four more goblins," Kumandi said. "There's no limit on the number of goblins who can issue the quest."
The adult goblin widened his eyes slightly, looking at the four adorable five-year-olds. "Are you sure?"
Although the road to the Amethyst Tree is not dangerous, is it really appropriate to bring four little elves who can't do magic?
"Affirmative." Kumandi nodded seriously.
The adult goblin shrugged. "Okay!"
Anyway, there are three adult fairies in the team, and they should be able to protect the little ones.
"Come on, little cuties, sign your names in this notebook." The adult fairy placed a notebook and a feather pen on the counter.
Shu Li didn't expect it to be so easy to do. It took less than a minute, which was unbelievably fast.
He picked up the quill and wrote his goblin name in Elvish on the form designated for adult goblins.
Sperian.
I have been writing tadpole-like words for five years and have become very proficient at it.
"The little cutie's handwriting is so beautiful!" The adult fairy exclaimed in admiration when he saw Shu Li's signature.
"Thank you." Shu Li smiled generously.
In five years, in order to learn the Elvish language well, he wrote countless Elvish words.
Copy, copy, and copy over and over again until you remember it.
Combined with his existing calligraphy skills, although the characters changed, his writing habits remained unchanged, and he unknowingly formed a unique personal style.
Even Jingjing, the top student, praised him for his good handwriting of elves!
Shu Li raised her little head proudly.
The adult fairy was amused by his confident look and praised him a few more times, which made Shu Li feel a little embarrassed.
The second person to sign was DiSio.
He picked up the pen and wrote his name in a few strokes.
Compared with Shu Li's handwriting, his is much more sloppy.
Afterwards, Angel and Budno signed their names respectively, one in a delicate manner and the other in a childish manner.
The adult goblin looked at Budno's chubby little hands and smiled.
The little guy was the fattest little goblin she had ever seen.
If I don't control my weight, I might not be able to fly in the future.
Budno had no idea that the adult goblins were worried about him. He happily put down his quill, flew to Shu Li, and waited obediently for the follow-up arrangements.
The adult fairy pulled four beautiful magic crystal cards from the counter drawer. "These are your mission cards. Be sure to keep them safe! When you complete the mission, present them to claim your reward."
"Wow, there's a reward!" Budno said with surprise.
He was worried about having no money, but unexpectedly he had an opportunity to make money.
Great!
"Yes, issuing a task requires a reward, so that fairies will be willing to take the task." The adult fairy patiently explained the relevant rules of the task to the children who were doing the task for the first time.
The amount of reward depends on the difficulty of the task.
The more difficult the task, the higher the reward, but also the higher the risk factor.
Therefore, when fairies accept a mission, they must be aware of their own strength, otherwise they may get injured or lose their lives, which will not be worth the loss.
The client who issued this task is a pharmacist.
He needed a large amount of Star Spirit Grass to refine some kind of potion. However, Star Spirit Grass only grew near the Amethyst Tree. In order to preserve its medicinal properties, it could not be collected by magic and had to be collected in the most primitive way - by hand.
Because the quantity was too large and he was busy refining medicine, he could only post tasks in the task hall and entrust other fairies to help collect them.
The remuneration is calculated based on the amount of Star Spirit Grass.
The more you pick, the more rewards you get, and conversely, the less you pick, the less rewards you get.
As for the number of people who can take on the task, there is no limit.
The goblins need branches from the Amethyst Tree, so this quest is perfect for them.
What good luck.
She glanced at the black-haired young fairy and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Kumandi is a good boy who is cool on the outside but warm on the inside. He will definitely take good care of the four little ones.
After leaving the mission hall, Shu Li said to Jingjing, the top student, with gratitude: "Kumandi, thank you!"
Kumandi nodded slightly and instructed the four little elves: "When you go to the forest, you must obey the instructions and arrangements of the leader. Never act on your own."
"Yes! I promise not to cause any trouble!" Shu Li put his legs together, raised his head and chest, and performed a standard salute.
Angel and the other three little elves followed suit, lined up in a row, and raised their hands to salute.
Budno is fat, and when he straightens his body, his belly bulges out.
Kumandi glanced at his belly and frowned, reminding him, "When you go out on a mission, bring your own food."
What this means is that when you go out, the food you carry with you is limited and you have to be frugal.
This was a severe test for the greedy Budno.
Upon hearing this, Shu Li asked the little fat boy seriously, "Budno, are you sure you want to go with me?"
"Sure!" Budno answered without hesitation. Although he was greedy, he knew what was important.
Besides, after they awaken their magic, they can use the storage ring, so he just needs to find a way to store more food.
Shu Li felt relieved when she saw his determined eyes and serious attitude.
Although Budno is greedy, he will not let down at the critical moment.
As a veteran, Kumandi took the four newbies on a shopping street and bought all the exploration tools.
A storage ring is a must-have item for traveling and exploring. You can carry food, water, medicine, daily necessities, etc. with you.
By the time everything was ready and it was dark, the group flew back to the dormitory at a leisurely pace.
Before parting, Kumandi once again instructed them to meet with the other fairies in the team at the entrance of the mission hall before sunrise three days later.
The four little goblins nodded their heads like pounding garlic to show that they remembered.
Three days later it was the weekend, so they had two days of rest, which was enough time for them to make a round trip.
Shu Li said goodbye to Jingjing, the top student, and said good night to her friends.
As soon as he entered the house, he threw himself onto the soft carpet and stretched out like a pancake.
“Tired~~~”
I practiced magic for an entire afternoon, walked around the commercial district, and then flew for more than half an hour before returning to the dormitory. I was so tired that I didn't even want to move a finger.
Originally, he wanted to ask Jingjing some questions about magic, but he was not in good condition and the effect was greatly reduced. It would be better for him to rest up and ask next time.
After lying on the carpet for a while, he got up with difficulty, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a loose pajamas he wore at home, and sat down at the desk with half-wet hair.
Even though you are so tired that you can fall asleep by lying in bed, you still need to review every day.
He took out his notebook and copied down the new Continental Common Language words he had learned that morning.
The common language on the mainland is a bit like the English in his original world, but the pronunciation is completely different, and different words are made up of thirty-six letters.
Yes, thirty-six, not twenty-six.
He had just come into contact with the ten extra letters and often mixed them up, resulting in a lot of omissions when writing words from memory.
However, Shu Li was not as nervous as when learning the Elvish language.
Compared with the common language of the continent and the Elvish language, it is much easier to learn. Both the vocabulary and grammar are not as complicated as the Elvish language.
The only thing that always gives Shu Li a headache is pronunciation.
It is really difficult to correct the problem of slipping the tongue.
"well--"
After copying the words, writing them down once, reciting them twice, and making sure he had memorized them, he closed his notebook.
Today's review task is completed, and the next step is to write a diary.
Shu Li took out a magic notebook specially used for writing diaries from the storage ring, turned to the latest page, and recorded everything that happened today in Chinese characters.
"Dear Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother..."
The quill paused as his fingers flipped forward to a page with a picture of five cartoon characters.
Although they are Q versions, each one is very lifelike and you can tell at a glance which one is the father, which one is the mother, and which one is the brother.
After traveling to another world, Shu Li often regretted why he didn't insist on taking sketching classes.
If he learns sketching well, he can draw his relatives vividly, and no matter how time passes, he will never forget their appearance.
Unfortunately, he can't sketch and can only draw simple Q-version cartoons.
Five years, neither long nor short, passed by unknowingly in the busy study.
In front of other fairies, he always appears optimistic, cheerful and positive. Only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep, and he opens his diary, will he become depressed because he misses his family.
However, Shu Li never lost heart, nor did she cry.
He always had a belief in his heart that one day he would return to his original world and reunite with his family.
The sufferings he is enduring now are all tests from the time-traveling God.
"Dear Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, good evening! Today I'm starting to learn magic... Magic is super fun, the only downside is that the spells are too long. I've been wondering if there's a way to make them shorter, preferably without the need for instant casting.
It’s a pity that this is not an online game world, otherwise I would spend some money and go to the mall to buy some props to reduce the chanting time of magic spells.
Oh, and I told you before that I've awakened seven elements of magic. I don't know if it's awesome or not, but it's definitely twice as tiring.
Originally, the Elf King wanted me to go to the Elf Kingdom to learn magic from him after I turned five.
I refused.
Why?
Because I feel I'm unworthy. (Salted Fish Paralysis.jpg)
When it comes to magic, I'm just starting out, like a kindergarten kid who knows nothing and has to learn everything from scratch.
And who is the Elf King?
He is an ancient professor who has lived for tens of thousands of years... He is knowledgeable and proficient in advanced magic. It is a bit of a waste of his talent to ask him to teach a kindergarten kid.
Brother, do you still remember?
You were in your second year of high school and I was in the first grade of elementary school. You taught me how to study, but I got so angry that you banged your head against the wall, calling yourself a fool and asking why you couldn't teach your younger brother.
So, I'm afraid that when the Elf King teaches me magic, I will be as angry as you and bang my head against the wall.
In order to maintain my adorable image in the Elf King's heart, I absolutely, absolutely refuse to go to the Elf Kingdom right now. (fist.jpg)
In short, it’s never too late to learn the basics first.
Most importantly, I love learning with other goblins.
There are more people, it’s more lively!”
After writing two pages in a very eloquent way, Shu Li still felt unsatisfied. If it weren't for the late hour and drooping eyelids, she would have written another page.
He put away his notebook, went to the bathroom, and returned to bed to fall asleep peacefully.
The next day was another busy day.
Elsa no longer teaches common sense, but geography instead.
When the little fairies grow up, they will go to the mainland to gain experience, so they must understand the mainland's geography and the customs and folkways of various countries and ethnic groups.
On the wall behind the podium hangs a huge map.
Although it is not as detailed as the map of Shu Li's world, it can show which are the mountains and rivers, as well as the borders of various countries.
When Shu Li first saw the map of the other world three years ago, he was attracted by the vast continent.
I learned from Elsa that this continent is called Austin Continent.
The world was originally a vast ocean without any land. When the Mother Goddess Isfu created the world, she turned her body into continents and her blood into rivers to carry all things.
Afterwards, the seven gods born before her took charge of heaven and earth.
The seven gods are: Light, Darkness, Fire, Water, Wind, Wood, and Earth.
They each perform their duties and maintain the order of heaven and earth.
The God of Light and the God of Darkness are twin brothers.
The God of Darkness is the elder brother and the God of Light is the younger brother.
However, his younger brother, the God of Light, lives in heaven with other gods, while his older brother, the God of Darkness, can only guard the eternal hell and escort the dead.
Unwilling to give up, the Dark God repeatedly troubled the Light God with the intention of subverting the order of heaven and earth.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Austin Continent was drawn into war several times.
Among them, the most intense battle was the War of Gods ten thousand years ago.
There were too many gods participating in that battle, and more than half of them died. Although the God of Light sealed the God of Darkness, it could only be considered a tragic victory.
In order to preserve their strength, the gods cut off the passage to the mainland and rested and recuperated.
The elves and fairies, who were favored by the gods and hailed as the Sons of Light, stayed on the continent.
That war also caused great losses to the elves and goblins. In order to protect his people, the Elf King had to block the Goblin Forest.
This letter is ten thousand years old.
Although we have cut off communication with the outside world, we are not isolated.
Every once in a while, elves or fairies would disguise themselves as humans and leave the Fairy Forest to go to other parts of the continent to gain experience.
The fairies and elves who have returned from their training bring back new information about the continent and replace the old information.
In some ways, they recorded the history of Austin Continent in more detail and comprehensive manner than any human could.
Because elves and goblins not only remember the history of various countries, but also the history of other races.
For example, dragons, mermaids, orcs, winged people, dwarves, goblins, dark elves, etc.
There are too many for Shu Liji to remember them all.
It was only when I heard Elsa’s introduction for the first time that I realized that there were many races in the other world.
Aisha once emphasized the dark elves.
Dark elves are fallen elves.
During the war of the gods, some elves were bewitched by the dark god, betrayed the elven king, and joined the dark camp.
They voluntarily allowed themselves to be tainted by darkness, their skin became dark, their bodies were filled with hostility and the breath of death, and they regarded white elves and goblins as their enemies.
Elsa sternly warned the goblins that when they traveled across the continent as adults, they should be careful when encountering dark elves and never travel with them, as they had no moral bottom line and could stab someone in the back at any moment.
Although the dark elves were once children of light, they were no longer favored by the God of Light after they associated with darkness.
Shu Li couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
The Elf King is so great and the Elf Kingdom is so beautiful, why would a betrayer appear?
It seems that no matter what race, there are ambitious people who are dominated by desires.
Shu Li loved geography class and filled pages of notes. The more thoroughly he understood the continent, the easier it would be to travel abroad and gain experience.
This is just like going on a trip. Collecting detailed travel guides first can help you avoid detours and save you a lot of trouble.
The first class ended and Leah's music class started next.
Five years is enough time for Shu Li to learn the elven harp.
The harp he played now was no longer a small harp with five strings, but a large harp with twenty-six strings.
