Chapter 153: A Passerby in a Western Fantasy Adventure 2
"The Mage's Handbook" mainly tells the story of a third-rate monk from the wasteland world who was reborn in the magic world and accidentally discovered that there was aura in this world. After experiencing various adventures, he integrated the monk's knowledge system with the laws and principles of the magic world, and began a life of cheating from then on.
On the road of adventure, he naturally had to have a confidante to accompany him. The Saint of the Temple of Light, the Saint of the Temple of Darkness, the Princess of the Principality, the daughter of the President of the Chamber of Commerce, and he was even rescued by a fox beastman when he was in trouble...
All in all, although the protagonist is involved in constant scandals, he eventually becomes a god of magic after overcoming numerous difficulties and becomes a legend of this era.
The new magic concept he proposed also promoted changes in the magic world. By practicing since childhood and introducing spiritual power into the body, almost every civilian can sense the existence of magic elements and has the potential to become a wizard. From then on, the profession of magician is no longer monopolized by a few people.
Mage Abner is a kind person, and he is not a stubborn person who is strongly opposed to magic reform. The only reason he confronts the protagonist is because of his grandnephew Avis.
Ivis was born in a small town in the Principality of Melo. He lost his relatives when he was five years old because of the monster frenzy that attacked the town. As a result, he was taken to live in the Mage Tower by Abner.
At the age of seven, he was diagnosed with superior ice element perception. Since then, his life has been smooth sailing. He became a junior magician at the age of 15 and an intermediate magician at the age of 21. He was praised as a genius wherever he went.
Until he met the hero. As a supporter of traditional magic theory, he always looked down on the hero's crooked talk. However, under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, he was cannon fodder in an unglamorous way.
Abner, as the elder, was also sent by the Magic Guild to a branch in the extreme wilderness. After that, the whole text no longer mentions the lives of the two.
The original owner, an ordinary magic apprentice who couldn't be more ordinary, only appeared once in the whole story. After the male protagonist broke up with the magic guild, the war caused many wizard towers to collapse. When describing the tragic plight of the dead wizards, the original owner was given a close-up - "crying and crying in the chaotic smoke, the blue eyes of the blonde girl under the collapsed wizard tower were as distant as the clear sky, and gradually dimmed with the blood flowers blooming on her chest, and finally there was a void."
Even her name was not mentioned. If the system hadn't outlined it in red, Cathy would not have been able to find where she was.
This time it turned out to be a pure passerby. She stuffed her space belt full and looked up at the empty bed opposite.
The day after arriving here, Lucy asked someone to transfer her to another wizard as an apprentice. Abner did not stop her at all. He had already prepared to go to the desolate land with Ivis.
Cathy's willingness to follow him was a complete surprise. Thinking of that impetuous little girl, Abner's heart was filled with emotion. Who doesn't like someone who is grateful and willing to share hardships with others? Although he didn't feel that he owed any favor to Cathy.
According to the instructions of the Realm of Truth, Cathy arrived at the entrance of Lemo Market early. This is the largest second-hand goods market in the capital. Students from the Imperial Academy and the Magic Academy like to come here to buy some magic tools and magic potions.
"Turn left at the first intersection on Leon Street and find the third store." She muttered to herself as she hurried through the busy streets, avoiding the enthusiastic shouts of the roadside stall owners.
After turning into the alley and walking for about 10 minutes, a slightly shabby doorplate came into Cathy's sight - "Magic House". She stepped onto the stairs and saw a middle-aged man with messy hair sitting in front of the counter. The shop was empty and there were almost no customers.
"Little girl?" Old Bob's face changed when he saw the guest coming in, and he quickly stuffed the book with the picture of naked woman in his hand under the counter.
"Little girl, are you lost?" He tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, but the scar across his face made his voice even more frightening.
With a "clang", a bag of gold coins was thrown onto the counter.
"I want to customize a magic house." Cathy said coldly with a straight face.
Bob narrowed his eyes. "Who introduced you here? Little girl, if you like the Magic Fantasy House, you should go to Lauren's store on Front Street to buy it. The products there will be more in line with the tastes of little girls like you."
"I want a sturdy, protective magic house." Cathy said to herself, "It would be best if it had three bedrooms, a small kitchen, a living room, and yes, a bathroom."
"Well, little girl, it seems that you are indeed my guest." Bob muttered softly, "But it will take at least a month to customize a safe house like this..."
"It's been too long. Do you have it in stock? I'm in a hurry to go on a long trip." Cathy interrupted him and asked.
The shop owner opened the drawer of the counter, revealing three or four gray magic houses. "You came at the right time. A customer paid a deposit but never came to pick up the goods. Although they don't quite meet your requirements, they are sturdy and durable, and the outer walls of the houses are engraved with protective magic patterns."
A square hut the size of a jade pendant was placed in the groove on the far left of the counter. Bob pressed a button on one side, and the huge 3D projection displayed the internal structure of the hut clearly.
"This cottage has only one floor, with two rooms and a secret room. The secret room is made of English stone, and there are magic patterns engraved on the door. It can even withstand the full force of a high-level magician. If you want a kitchen, I can separate a space for you on the window side of the living room."
Then he introduced the other small rooms in the cabinet one by one.
After careful consideration, Cathy chose the first cottage recommended by Bob. After paying a deposit of 50 gold coins, she made an appointment with the owner to pick up the goods the next day.
The sun gradually rose to the zenith, and there were fewer people in the market. The aroma of food wafted from the restaurant on the corner, making the vendors who had set up stalls along the street even less interested in doing business.
Cathy took advantage of this opportunity to buy three magic flower pots from a second-hand dealer for 15 gold coins. Before leaving, she asked the stall owner to give her a blanket woven from alpine magic wool.
Stall owner: ...
I really saw Satan. How could that little girl talk like that? She just chattered and saved 5 gold coins without any clue, and also got a magic sheep blanket for free.
Cathy, who had returned with a lot of gains, happily went to the third floor of the Mage Tower to find Master Abner. Before she even entered the door, she could hear her joyful voice: "Master Abner, look what I have prepared. I bought some extra roast chicken from Aunt Machi's house. I put it in the space cabinet and it will last for a while."
"Oh, Cathy." Abner, feeling a little heavy-hearted, couldn't help but laugh. "You are really capable. Have you prepared anything else besides roast chicken?"
"Of course. Today I went to the Lemo market. There were so many people there, and there were so many things for sale. I also ordered a magic house from a store and paid 50 gold coins. I can get it tomorrow. And more..."
The brown-haired young man who had hidden himself in the corner finally raised his head because of the chattering: "Do you think we are going to have fun? We even booked a magic house. That's what noble ladies and gentlemen would order when they go on a long trip and don't want to stay in a country hotel. What else can it do except be exquisite and comfortable?"
The tone was so harsh that the room fell into dead silence.
