Chapter 231 Going to the Grand Canyon for a Mission
Shu Li wrote an 800-word training experience in beautiful Elvish.
When a person is anxious, he or she speaks most fluently in his or her native language.
Although Elvish is not Shu Li's first mother tongue, it is the first language he learned in the other world and the one he uses most frequently. He can write articles in it smoothly and unimpeded.
Putting down his quill, he read through his notes again. Finding nothing to add, he rolled up the paper and put it in his storage bag.
"Tick-tick--" The hourglass clock on the bedside made a prompt sound. Shu Li looked at the scale and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. He rushed into the bathroom to wash up, changed into his school uniform magic robe, opened the door and walked out.
When he stepped into the living room, he saw Ace sitting on the sofa reading a book. The book was half-read and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Good morning..." Shu Li stammered, feeling a pang of uncertainty as he thought about his discovery during yesterday's meditation. However, after consulting the Elf King, he had finally figured it out.
Until you are unable to respond, just pretend you know nothing.
After calming himself down, he smiled brightly, "I'm sorry I got up late today. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Ace closed the book with one hand, stuffed it into his storage bag, and stood up. "Not bad, I only got up twenty minutes earlier than you."
Shu Li locked eyes with his emerald green eyes for two seconds before turning awkwardly and heading towards the entrance. "Let's go out. Disio and the others must be waiting anxiously."
"Okay." Ace responded calmly.
The two opened the door and saw that their friends were all ready and gathered in the corridor to chat.
Seeing Shu Li and Ace coming out, Budno grinned unceremoniously: "Hey, I'm finally not the last one to get up!"
Because he loves to sleep in, he is always the last one to get up, and is often teased by Decio. Today, he woke up early, but found that the doors of Sperien and Ace's rooms were closed and there was no movement.
"It's just one day, don't be too happy too soon." Discio argued with him.
Don't think about the fact that Sperien sacrifices his sleep time every day to go to Wanaku to purify the branches and fruits of the mother tree, and his life is in danger at any time. He went out late today and must have encountered some trouble.
Thinking that he could only enter the root tunnel of the Mother Tree and embark on an adventure with Sperian after becoming a Grand Mage, he suddenly became very motivated. He patted Budno's back vigorously and said with full energy, "Let's go have breakfast and then work hard to improve our strength."
Budno felt pain from the slap, made a face at him, and ran away quickly.
After leaving the boys' dormitory, they met up with two girls and headed towards the school cafeteria in high spirits.
Shu Li looked up at the blue sky and felt refreshed.
It's another nice day today.
In the next few days, a group of magic apprentices lived in dire straits under Ilio's devilish training.
Students from other classes were still consolidating their basic knowledge. They were running on the main road of the school, getting beaten in the magic training ground, searching for various herbs in the back mountain, and running away from being chased by monsters in the monster garden.
In short, they had a very fulfilling week. They were physically and mentally exhausted every day. After finally crawling back to the dormitory, they had to meditate and write their thoughts.
It was a bit hard, but the rewards were huge.
Their bodies have become stronger, their running speed has increased, their reaction ability has improved, and their practical experience has been enriched. They prefer this exciting and thrilling way of studying to sitting in the classroom and studying all day.
It would be better if Ilio's taunts were less.
Five days passed in a flash, and the wonderful weekend finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Team Light gathered in front of the statue in front of the academy, preparing to go to the Wobba Canyon for a collection mission.
Seleu, wearing light armor, stood in front of the statue of the Elf King early, waiting for new teammates.
Recalling Harris's words yesterday, his eyes were determined.
"Prince, are you sure you want to leave the courtyard? If the Black Knight discovers you, you and your teammates will be in danger."
Seleu was silent for a long time.
He himself was fearless in the face of the Black Knight, but if it was true as Harris said, he brought danger to his teammates and could not escape blame.
However, he couldn't stay in the courtyard forever.
He is Prince Cecilia, the future master of the Sword of Carlos. If he doesn't even have the courage to face danger, he is unworthy of being a magic swordsman.
"Harris, I am no longer the child who was bullied by others."
Although he maintained his appearance as a 20-something after becoming a magician, his actual age was over 30. He was no longer an impulsive teenager, and after careful consideration, he decided to go to the Wobba Canyon to complete his mission.
If the Black Knight dares to come, he will kill him.
As a magic swordsman, the only way to move forward courageously is to face challenges head-on.
"Seriu~~"
A clear voice sounded in the distance. Seryu looked up at the black-haired boy who was waving at him.
It's Sperian.
Seryuu's mood soared as he watched him and the other magic apprentices walking towards him.
The Light Team successfully reunited, rented a large carriage, and excitedly headed to Put Town, which borders the Midgard and the Wobba Canyon.
In fact, there is a teleportation array in Igya City that leads to Put Town, but Shu Li quickly gave up the idea after seeing the teleportation fee of one hundred gold coins.
Anyway, there are two days in the weekend, plenty of time, so there is no need to waste money.
Moreover, another advantage of riding in a carriage is that you can enjoy the scenery along the way and get a deeper understanding of the style of the atrium.
It must be said that the God of Law, Danlov, is an extremely powerful administrator. Under his governance, the atrium is in good order and everyone has a happy smile on their face, which is completely different from the civilians in other countries who are worried about food and clothing.
Moreover, the transportation here is well developed, the roads are flat, and there is a security booth at regular intervals to prevent bandits from robbing along the way.
The common people of the courtyard are very good at business. When passing through the village, you will see small vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road. Bread, fruit, barbecue, clothing, accessories, local specialties, and more are all available.
After passing the first village and unknowingly spending five gold coins, the magic apprentices of Team Light decisively covered their storage bags.
These villagers are so scary. They are all cunning and good at talking. Travelers with weak wills can easily be fooled into buying a bunch of useless things.
They save money on the teleportation array, but they don't spend it on the road.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the carriage finally arrived at Put Town.
"Finally, we're here!" After getting off the carriage, Discio stretched his limbs and rubbed his sore butt.
"Is this Put Town? It looks a bit shabby!" Budno looked around curiously.
"Compared to the city of Igya, it's indeed shabby." Shu Li observed the ancient buildings and backward infrastructure around him.
As a border town, Vishish is much more developed than Put.
If it hadn't been told that this place belonged to the atrium, Shu Li would have thought they had entered another country.
"The residents of Put Town are stubborn and don't like to change their habits. They refuse to use magical items," Seryu explained. "The Lord of Magic respects their wishes and hasn't made any changes to this place."
"I see!"
The others suddenly understood.
"Are they... not welcoming us?" Angel asked quietly. He noticed that many people were watching them, their eyes unfriendly and full of disgust.
Seryu said, "The residents of Put Town are very xenophobic."
Siti was puzzled: "Why? We didn't provoke them."
Kumandi frowned. "Not us, but all the adventurers or mercenaries passing through here on their way to the Wobba Canyon."
Something unpleasant must have happened in the past, which is why the residents of Put Town exclude outsiders.
The Wobba Canyon is unsafe recently, and there are very few adventurers and mercenary groups in the town. They are the only adventuring team nearby.
Shu Li took out the map, compared it for a few minutes, and said, "Let's go straight into the canyon!"
I originally wanted to have lunch in Put Town, but given the unfriendly nature of the residents here, I decided to go straight into the canyon to complete the mission.
As for lunch, we ate the dry food we bought on the way.
The others had no objection. After tidying themselves up, they walked more than 200 meters south and officially stepped into the Wobba Grand Canyon.
The local residents watched the young team go away and shook their heads in unison.
"Another group of adventurers seeking their own death."
"Which team is this today?"
"The third one!"
"They look very young. Except for the swordsman, the others are probably under twenty years old, right?"
"What a bunch of ignorant kids."
"Hopefully they can come back alive."
Shu Li and others were unaware of the local residents' discussions. After entering the Wobba Grand Canyon, they tried hard to find the location where the Xingba grass grew.
Before setting off, they made all necessary preparations and spent three gold coins to buy a basic map of the Grand Canyon.
The Wobbe Canyon is an endless crack in the ground, as if it was forcibly split by a giant's axe, forming an unfathomable crack.
The edge of the canyon is not steep. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. There are gullies and ravines everywhere. If you are not careful, you will fall into some unknown crevices.
Not only is the terrain here complex, but the weather is also unpredictable.
It was sunny just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye there were lightning, thunder, flying sand and rocks, and heavy rain.
After Team Light entered the Grand Canyon, they became extremely cautious and did not dare to let their guard down.
Shu Li frowned as he looked at the barren ground.
Are you sure there is stargrass here?
When you first enter the Grand Canyon, you can still see lush vegetation, but as you follow the direction indicated on the map, the plants become fewer and fewer, and now there is no trace of green.
"Did we take the wrong path?" Amanda asked, scratching her head.
"Yes, there are only stones here, not a single blade of grass." Budno nodded in agreement.
Hector pointed at the map in Shu Li's hand and asked uncertainly, "Is the map fake?"
"The map is correct," Seryu said. "Singba grass likes to grow between rocks."
Nasha poked the stone on the ground with the end of her magic wand and found a hint of green. She exclaimed, "Look, is this star grass?"
After the devilish training of her magic mentor Ilio, she got to know hundreds of herbs, one of which was stargrass.
"Wow, it's star anise!" Siti immediately squatted down and reached out to pull out the green grass. "The leaves are diamond-shaped, two by two, symmetrical. There's a thin purple stem on the back. It's definitely there."
Everyone was very happy to discover the star anise so quickly.
"There's no time to lose, let's start collecting!" Shu Li took out a professional grass-cutting shovel from his storage bag. "Everyone, be careful and don't go too far."
"Okay!" the goblins responded loudly.
They are professionals in collecting herbs.
Soon, the eleven people spread out, turned over stones, and searched for star grass, busy as a whirlwind.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~~”
A thin black snake emerged from a tiny crack and hid behind a stone. Its dark red eyes flashed with a cold light as it stared at the busy magic apprentices.
