《Advance Login: Era of Magic》 Chapter 1 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Chapter One: Entering the World of Magic for the First Time and Starting the Lottery! Ahhhhhh! D*MN God! What the hell is this transmigration? In New York University, a student called Caruso, who was about to graduate, was being sick in his dorm room. The reason why he was being sick was very simple. He had transmigrated! As a fan of novels and fantasy, he was not afraid of transmigrating. On the contrary, he enjoyed it. However, when he found out that he was bound to a useless system, he was completely dumbfounded. When others transmigrated, they would either return to their previous world and become a lord, a superstar in a parallel world, or a protagonist in a fantasy world. However, when he transmigrated, he transmigrated to a parallel world that was exactly the same as his previous world. Moreover, the entertainment industry in this world had already reached an extremely high level. There was everything that one would expect there, and even if something could not be found in the industry, there were other ways one could find it. Therefore, he gave up on the path of borrowing other peoples works. After losing this help, he finally awakened a system. His system was called [Super God Login], and up until now, he still didnt know what this system did. System, tell me, what do you know? After complaining, Caruso couldnt help but ask that question. After a long time, the system slowly opened its mouth. If after a year, the Earth is invaded by magical beasts, the world falls into chaos, order and law are destroyed, morality and law are trampled on the ground, and money becomes useless, do you still want the so-called money, the so-called charm? Hearing the systems words, Caruso immediately chose not to believe it and said, Why did you say that the end is coming? But after he finished speaking, the system did not answer him for a few minutes. Suddenly, he got a bad premonition. Uh Are you sure youre not fooling me? Since he had transmigrated, there was nothing that Caruso would not believe at this moment. After all, he was his host. The system finally replied, One year from now, the magical world will descend to earth. After that, all kinds of magical beasts will mercilessly slaughter humans and occupy their territories. Technology is nothing in the eyes of the powerful magical beasts. Only strength is the most important. And my existence is to allow you to login to the game [Magical World OL] in advance. Log in in advance? After hearing the systems serious words, Caruso was no longer in the mood to joke and hurriedly asked. What benefits does logging in early have? In the game, everything you gain can be synchronized with reality. Any magic, skills, or items you learn can be brought to reality. Tell me, what benefits do you have? In front of the host who only wanted benefits, the system chose to answer in an aloof and cold manner. At this moment, Caruso began to calm down and think. If the system did not lie to him. One year from now, the human cities would be destroyed, and the world would end. When that happened, money, women, and houses, all the things that people sought would be abandoned. Only strength! Only powerful strength And if he could log in to this so-called [Magical World OL] in advance Even if he could only obtain a little thing, it would be countless times better than waiting for a disaster to befall him. Therefore, at this moment, Caruso finally realized how powerful his system was. I want to enter this world! After realizing the importance, Caruso immediately opened his mouth. Beep, beep loading World OL World Connector! Beep, beep loading successful! Host, do you wish to enter the Magic World? A few seconds later, following Carusos reply, the system immediately built the connector and asked. Yes! Caruso answered directly. Following his reply, the next second, he felt his vision go black. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a small town. The environment in the town was very quaint. There were birds chirping on the lush trees, and all kinds of unknown flowers and plants grew luxuriously around the village. Ding dong, congratulations player for entering the Magic World OL. Ding dong, as the player is the first player to enter the Magic World Ol, you will be rewarded with three lucky draws. As the surrounding environment changed, a voice from the game slowly sounded. I I really entered this so-called magical world Draw? Caruso subconsciously muttered to himself. The host is the first player to enter the game world, so you have received three chances in the draw! The systems voice began to prompt. Upon hearing the prompt, Caruso immediately asked, How do I draw the prize? The system calmly replied, You just need to read it! Just read it? I want to draw the prize! With the help of the system, Caruso knew how to draw the prize. Once he knew, he immediately began to read it. Suddenly, a roulette similar to a grand lottery appeared in front of him. There were different things in each place. Holy Radiant Divine Sword! Staff of the Gods! Ancient Elf Potion! Revelation Manual! Holy Land Invitation Letter! Looking at one mysterious item after another, Caruso licked his dry lips. Then, the voice of the game system sounded. Do you wish to draw the lottery? Yes! As he answered, the big wheel suddenly started to spin crazily. And in the middle, there was a needle. If he guessed correctly, when the big wheel stopped, the needle would stop, then he would receive something. Ding dong Congratulations to the host for obtaining super SSS grade reward [full-time wizard] Class Advancement Book X 1. Ding dong Congratulations to host for obtaining Super SSS grade reward [Super God talent-mana source] class advancement book X 1. Ding dong Congratulations to host for obtaining super SSS grade reward [ talent skill-instant release]. When Caruso silently read out the lottery draw, the big wheel spun three times in a row. Each time, it stopped on an icon that was similar to a book. After stopping, he received a series of notifications in his mind. After learning the item that he had drawn, he did not have time to look carefully when the systems voice sounded again. Ding dong, do you wish to use the -LSB- full-time mage class advancement book? Yes! After the notification sounded, Caruso did not hesitate and directly agreed. Ding Dong, Congratulations to the player for awakening the hidden class-full-time mage! After using the reward, Caruso found that his body would flash with a golden light from time to time. After the golden light flashed, his attributes changed. Until there was no more golden light. Facing such a magical situation, Caruso was completely stunned. The game system did not stop talking because of his stunned state. A few seconds later, the systems voice sounded again. Checking the players attributes! ID: Caruso Class: Full-time Mage (Hidden Class) level: LV1(1/100) HP: 100 Mana: 100 Strength: 5 Spirit: 5 Defense: 5 Agility: 5 Skills: temporary none Innate skill: instant cast Special Talent: Mana Source (after becoming a mage, mana increases tenfold) Items: temporary none Money: temporary none Companions: temporary none Territory: temporary none Rank: temporary none Reputation: temporary none Chapter 2 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL What the f*ck. What the f*ckam I the Emperor of Europe? As a gaming fan, although he did not know all about the mage and spellblade classes, he at least knew a little about them. Generally speaking, no matter which game, after a player chose a class, they could not choose another class. This was an iron law. But now, he had broken it. Moreover, in the mage class, normal people could only practice one type of elemental magic. But he could actually practice nine different types of elemental magic. From this point of view, he was nine times stronger than others. For example, if he met a fire-type enemy, wouldnt he be able to directly use water-type skills to counter them? If he met a water-type mage and used an earth-type skill, would he be able to counter it again? Most importantly, he could instantly cast a skill. This was a skill that only high-level mages could possess. But he was only an apprentice mage and had already mastered this skill. How could Caruso not be shocked? Host, I suggest that you hurry up and learn some skills. This is a forest. If you meet a magical beast, even if your talent is invincible, its useless! Having heard this, Caruso looked around vigilantly. After looking around, he completely changed his mind. This was no longer a human city. There were no laws, no order, and no rules. There was only supreme power. Before having power, he had to be careful. For this, Caruso quickly followed the systems instructions and rushed to the nearest village. Fortunately, the place he descended was not a very remote place. After walking for less than thirty minutes, he soon arrived at the village. Auphi Village? Looking at the entrance to the village, which had two words on a wooden sign, Carusos nervous mood gradually relaxed. After relaxing, he soon saw an old man at the entrance of the village scratching his feet? Thats right, when he saw such a strange scene, the first thing Caruso wanted to do was to leave this place. However, when he thought of the fact that he needed to protect himself and there was no one else around, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the old man who was scratching his feet. Then, he asked politely, Hello, Grandpa, may I know where the village chief is? After he finished speaking, the old man raised his head and looked at Caruso. His fingers were still rubbing against each other. After looking at Caruso carefully for a few moments, he finally replied slowly. Youre here to learn magic skills, right? Go straight ahead and youll reach the market. After turning right, youll see a group of children similar to you standing there. You just have to stand there and wait! Auphi Village. Skill Learning Area. When Caruso followed the path pointed out by the old man at the entrance of the village, it didnt take long for him to arrive here. Once he arrived here, he saw more than a dozen youths just like him. They were standing in a row with excitement and anticipation on their faces, waiting for something. After arriving here and asking around, he found out. This place was the only place in the surrounding twelve villages where magic skills could be learned. The reason was that the village chief of Auphi Village was the only three-star mage here. Among the powerful forces, only he was qualified to teach this group of children to awaken their magic talents and learn skills. During the exploration, Caruso found that every time the group of children talked about the village chief, their small faces were always filled with excitement and reverence. Through this performance, Caruso also looked forward to this so-called three-star mage village chief. The village chief is here, the village chief is here! After waiting for thirty minutes, all of a sudden, a child pointed in the direction of the market and shouted. His shout immediately attracted everyones attention. Soon, an old man came to the market. The old man was wearing a magic robe and there was a round icon on the left chest of his robe. The icon was a magic wand. After seeing this from afar, Caruso couldnt help but become serious. But in the next second, as the old man got closer, he couldnt help but be stunned. Because this so-called village chief, the so-called three-star magician, was actually the old man that he met at the door! This time, Caruso was completely unable to remain calm! Grandpa Village Chief! Grandpa Village Chief! Grandpa Village Chief! Very quickly, Village Chief Cass walked in front of the children. When he walked in front of everyone, all the youngsters spoke with incomparable respect. Seeing the children being so enthusiastic, Cass also let out a hearty laugh. An old hand stroked the heads of each child as he said, Good. Good, good. Children, Ive made you wait for a long time! At the sight of this scene, Caruso felt a chill run down his spine. This was someone who had just f*cking rubbed his feet. How could he touch their heads like that? If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this seemingly noble village chief was actually such a person. Alright, children, today is the day for you to awaken your magic talent. It is also the time for you to learn magic skills. Everyone, come in with me! After the simple ceremony, Cass stood in front of everyone and slowly opened his mouth. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and headed into the house. Just like that, Caruso followed a group of youths into the house. After arriving at the house, Village Chief Cass did not directly teach them to learn magic. Instead, he stared at them intently and continued. Mages are an incomparably honorable profession. They are the children of the gods. They use the power bestowed by the gods to expel magical beasts for us and protect humans. These words were just like the principals speech at the opening ceremony of a certain school in Carusos reality. If it was in reality, Caruso would definitely not listen to it. But in this world, Caruso was like a curious baby, listening to every word. As he listened, Caruso gained a new understanding of this world. In the mage profession, there were a total of ten realms. Each realm was divided into nine stars, and there were also nine elements. Among them, the ten realms were: Apprentice Mage, Mage, Grand Mage, Magus, Grand Magus, Archmagus, Grand Archmagus, Saint Mage, Saint Magus, and Saint Archmagus. The level of the skills that a saint archmagus could use was different from a mage. For example, apprentice mages could only use tier zero skills. When they reached the level of nine-star apprentice mages, they could only use tier one spells. As for magi and grand magi, they could already be called powerhouses. They could release extremely powerful spells with a wave of their hands. It was not difficult for them to create a fire dragon out of thin air and grow hundreds of vines out of nothing. The nine elements of a mage were divided into water, fire, earth, wood, wind, ice, holy light, darkness, and lightning. Among them, water, fire, earth, wood, and wind were all common elements. Chapter 3 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL As for the ice, holy light, darkness, and lightning elements, they were all rare elements. The most precious element was the holy light element because the holy light element had a powerful healing ability. If a person who was about to die could receive the blessing of a holy light element expert, he could immediately extend his life by a few years. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could get the help of a holy light-type powerhouse. Moreover, holy light-type elemental mages were almost one-in-ten-thousand. As for darkness-type, lightning-type, and ice-type, these three types of elements were violent attack elements. They were also not weaker than the holy light-type but, because of the demand, the holy light-type was the most powerful. After receiving this information, Caruso finally realized how terrifying his lucky draw was. An ordinary person could become a respected mage as long as they were favored by one element. But he alone was favored by nine elements and became a full-time mage1! Moreover, he could cultivate both magic and martial arts, use magic skills, and also use sword aura. He was practically invincible in both close combat and long-range combat. After understanding so much, time passed quietly. Soon, more than an hour had passed. During this one hour, no one appeared to be lazy at all. Everyones eyes were flashing with anticipation as if they were about to become mages. They were extremely excited. Alright, thats all the information about mages. Everyone, sit down and start meditating! Meditation. The entrance test for mages. If one could not even meditate, then it proved that it was impossible for one to become a mage. And the so-called meditation was to find the elemental particles in the world. Through meditation, after sensing the elemental particles, one could absorb these elemental particles and use magic skills. After the village chief said this, all the youths sat on the ground. Caruso sat cross-legged on the ground as well, listening quietly. Everyone, put down all your thoughts, cast aside all distracting thoughts, enter a meditative state, and sense the elemental particles nearby! The village chief looked at the children below with satisfaction. After he finished speaking, the children closed their eyes one by one and began to listen to him. Lets talk about Caruso again. After he sat on the ground, he quickly followed the village chiefs instructions and entered meditation. The other children were still frowning at this moment and were still unable to enter the meditation world mentioned by the village chief. After entering the meditation world, Caruso discovered that he was in the middle of a universe, and there was nothing in the dusky surroundings. Is this the meditation world? A few seconds later, after feeling that he had entered a completely new world, Caruso couldnt help but ask himself a question. What is that? In the next second, a few spots of red light suddenly rushed towards his body. After seeing these spots of red light, Caruso frowned and pondered. Could it be that these are the so-called elemental particles? Red? Fire elements? Although Caruso knew nothing about this world, he was still considered a veteran geek who had read countless novels and played countless fantasy games. Therefore, he quickly made a judgment. After making the judgment, more than ten fire elemental particles gathered around his body like fairies. Each of them was extremely lively as if they were considering whether or not to enter his body. A few seconds later, more than ten fire elemental particles merged into his body in the blink of an eye. After sensing these light spots merging into his body, Caruso felt a wave of heat in his dantian1. It was as if he was stuck with a warm baby. What the f*ck? Again? Not long after he felt the wave of heat, Caruso was suddenly stunned. He saw hundreds of fire elemental particles suddenly appear out of nowhere around him. After seeing so many particles, he did not feel happy. Instead, he started to complain. More than a dozen fire elemental particles had already made him a little hot. A few hundred, wouldnt that burn him to death? With this thought in mind, he almost completely resisted this scene. However, his resistance was completely useless. The hundreds of particles seemed to have found their home. In the blink of an eye, they merged into his body. Argh! Its uncomfortable! After the hundreds of particles entered his body, Caruso could only describe it as uncomfortable. At this moment, his body felt like it had been scalded by boiling water. It was so hot that he was irritated. Huh? Green particles? Blue particles? White particles? Black particles? Golden particles? Yellow particles? Why are there so many elemental particles rushing over? If Caruso had been looking forward to it before meditating, he would be terrified now! When the red particles no longer appeared, the eight-colored particles rushed over one after another. In an instant, the gray world became incomparably resplendent, as if he was in a galaxy. After these particles were fused, he also noticed that they were particles of the elements. The white particles were light elements, the green particles were wood elements, the cyan particles were wind elements, the light-blue particles were water elements, the golden particles were thunder elements, and the red particles were fire elements. The yellow particles were earth elements. The black particles were black elements. The silver particles were ice elements. The fusion of the nine elements almost made Caruso know what torture was. Fortunately, the last elements to enter his body were light elements and wood elements. One of these two elements was healing and the other was recovery. Therefore, he was almost unable to hold on but he was forced to prolong his life. After experiencing this event, Caruso couldnt help but complain. What he did not know was that when he meditated on the elements, all the children around him left the place. The reason was simple. All the children did not meditate on any elements. Only he meditated on elemental particles. Compared to his pain, if the children knew about it, they would rather accept the pain that was ten times more intense than this. This was because they had lost the qualification to become mages and could only become ordinary people for the rest of their lives. Compared to the two, Caruso was simply trying to be a good-for-nothing. Similarly, when Village Chief Cass saw Caruso entering meditation outside, he immediately noticed him. Originally, Caruso entering meditation within a few seconds had already shocked him. But now, after meditating for a full three hours, the village chief could no longer remain calm! The first meditation was a test of talent. Generally, those who were qualified to become mages, as long as they meditated for more than five minutes and sensed two or three elemental particles, would be considered qualified. If they meditated for more than ten minutes and sensed around ten elemental particles, they would be considered geniuses. A child who meditated for more than an hour would be considered a super genius. Normally, only the children of nobles would be able to accomplish such an achievement. As for someone like Caruso who meditated for more than three hours on his first try, the village chief had never seen or heard of someone like him. Even some peerless geniuses would only meditate for more than an hour. But now that Caruso had meditated for three hours, how could the village chief not be shocked? Regarding this, he quickly let the children leave, and then only Caruso was left in the entire courtyard. Meanwhile, Cass had been quietly guarding him at the side. The longer he guarded him, the more excited old man Cass became. This was simply like picking up a treasure! He did not expect that there would be a peerless genius in this poor and remote place. Of course, he did not know that Caruso had already fused nine elemental particles in a short period of time. If he knew, the village chief would probably faint on the spot! Chapter 4 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL The sun slowly set. The moon rose and Caruso woke up. The moment he woke up, his whole body seemed to have collapsed, and he swayed on the spot weakly. Child, you finally woke up? The moment Caruso woke up, the village chief immediately used his old hand to tightly hold his hand, preventing him from falling down. Village Chief? This why is it getting dark? After seeing the village chiefs excited expression, Caruso glanced around. He found that the surrounding buildings had long been emptied, and the sky had turned from day to night. Hearing Carusos words, the village chief glanced at Caruso and thought, You still want to ask me? Who am I going to ask then? Of course, he did not say this out loud but his tone was even gentler as he said, Child, what color elemental particles did you sense? How many did you sense? Originally, Caruso was very puzzled as to why the sky suddenly turned dark and the children around him had disappeared. But when the village chief asked him such a passionate question for no reason, Caruso immediately became vigilant. If there was a strong protection for talent, then there was no need to worry too much. But if there was no strong protection, talent would very likely bring him unnecessary trouble. Caruso was not paranoid but he was not familiar with this place. No matter what he did, it was better to be cautious. Therefore, he hesitated for a while and then pretended to be ignorant, I sensed the red elemental particles. I probably sensed five-to-six-hundred of them! After saying this, Caruso thought that he would not be exposed. In fact, in the whole seven-to-eight hours, he had sensed more than 10,000 elemental particles. He had sensed more than 1,000 of each particle. Now, he deliberately said that he had only sensed one type of particle and divided it by half. He did not understand the rarity of mages in this world, so he thought that everyone could sense elemental particles. Therefore, this kind of explanation was considered normal. However, his normal explanation was like a huge thunderclap to the ears. What! Four four five four-to-five-hundred? Fire element? Almost subconsciously, the village chief shouted in shock. Uh maybe only three hundred or so. Is it very bad? Caruso did not know what the village chief was excited about but, in order to hide his power, he deliberately pretended to know nothing and asked. Bad? F*ck, if you call that bad, then Im f*cking called trash. Oh no, Im even worse than trash! Hearing Carusos words, the village chief almost jumped up and cursed. When he first meditated back then, he only meditated for fifteen minutes and awakened nine fire elemental particles. Now, the other party directly meditated for eight hours and awakened more than four hundred elemental particles. This was simply a crazy blow! Seeing the village chiefs reaction, Caruso naturally noticed a little, but he still continued to perform, because this was the only way to make others not look at him so much so he quickly pretended to be flustered and said, Village Chief, am I not qualified to become a mage? I Am I I really want to slap your face with a shoehorn! Seeing Carusos expression, Cass was so angry that he was about to die. If the person in front of him was not a super genius, he would definitely make a move. It was too infuriating! Ding-dong! Player successfully meditated! Ding-dong! Player obtained an SSS score for the first meditation. Initial mana value increased by 1000 points. Ding-dong! As the player is the first player in the entire server to become a meditator, this reward will permanently increase mana value by 5000 points! [Server Announcement: Ding-dong. Congratulations to Player Caruso for becoming an SSS player for the first time in meditation. The reward will permanently increase mana value by 5000 points.] A few seconds later, under the rage of Cass, the systems voice sounded in Carusos mind. Upon hearing this news, Caruso was shocked, followed by stunned, andfinallyconfusion. The shock was because his meditation had actually reached the SSS level. Confusion was because the full-service reward he received was a permanent initial increase of 5000 mana points. He was stunned because he was the only one on the entire server. Why the notification? After being stunned, Caruso looked at his attributes and saw that his mana had increased from 100 points to 6100 points. He was naturally happy with this change. Mana was similar to a blue bar. If one wanted to use real-life magic, one needed mana. If one did not consolidate their mana points, even if they learned high-level magic, it would be useless. Moreover, the more mana points one had, the more powerful it would be when facing an enemy. If the opponents realm was higher than his, but the opponent could only cast level one magic three times, and he could cast level one magic ten times? Could cast level one magic twenty times? Would the opponent only be able to run around with his head in his hands? This reward greatly increased Carusos safety. From now on, Ill teach you magic! Just as Caruso was feeling smug, Cass suddenly stopped being shocked and spoke with a calm face. Hearing this, Caruso immediately looked at him seriously. What a joke. His purpose for coming here was to learn magic, so he naturally wouldnt miss this opportunity. The process of casting magic was extremely complicated. First, he had to use the particles he sensed to form a certain array in his body. Then, he had to use a spell to summon it. Although he was a super-genius, he still needed to learn this method for a period of time. At the very least, he needed to learn it for a few hours. Of course, this was the concept of being stuck. Hence, he had been slowly explaining, word by word, afraid that Caruso wouldnt understand. Unfortunately, he was wrong. His mistake was that Caruso was a player. After he finished explaining the method to cast the spell, he began to demonstrate. He was stuck in an empty space and then he looked at the sky solemnly. Then, he slowly calmed down and said softly. Great Fire God, please give your devout believers the power! Level one fire magic, Fireball Spell! When he finished speaking, a fireball the size of a basketball suddenly appeared in the middle of Casss hands. The fireball was boiling with heat and its power was extraordinary. After casting the fireball spell, Cass immediately stretched out his right hand and pointed in a direction. In the next second, the fireball seemed to have grown legs and rushed toward the wall not far away. Bang! With a loud bang, the fireball hit the wall. In the blink of an eye, the wall cracked and some gravel flew in all directions. A small pit appeared on the wall, accompanied by a charred color. And this was only the elementary spell, Fireball. After witnessing all of this, Caruso was completely stunned. Although he had been prepared for this, it was the first time for him, who had been exposed to atheism for a long time, to see such a magical thing. His emotions would more or less be affected. Chapter 5 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning level one spell [Fireball]. Ding-dong! As the player is the first player in the entire server to learn fire-type skills, reward talent [Fire Mastery]. [Server Announcement: Congratulations Player Caruso for learning fire-type spell [Fireball]. Reward talent [ Fire Mastery].] After witnessing Casss performance, system notifications rang in Carusos mind again. After hearing these notifications, he couldnt help but be surprised again. After being surprised, he licked his dry lips. It seemed that his early login had great benefits. He could get all kinds of rewards just by doing something. If he could develop himself for a year After a year, when all the humans in the world entered the game, he would definitely be invincible. Thinking of this, he looked forward to the future even more. At the same time, he checked the system reward for the talent skill. [Fire Mastery] Level: Beginner (1/1000) Type: Talent Skill (Growable) Effect: Increases fire damage by 20%. F*ck! After looking at the reward, Caruso was once again shocked. This time, he didnt do anything, yet he obtained such a powerful innate skill. This was simply too awesome! Caruso, come over and give it a try! Besides, after he executed the skill, he realized that Caruso seemed to be a little absent-minded? Upon seeing this, he immediately felt a little angry. However, when he thought of the other partys innate skill, he didnt show his temper in the end. Instead, he asked Caruso to give it a try. The purpose of asking him to come over and give it a try was very simple. It was to test whether Caruso had studied hard on the assignment. He estimated that the first time he used a skill, he would definitely fail. Once he failed, he would immediately prepare to begin his education. When he thought about how he was going to educate a future peerless genius, he could not help but feel happy. It just so happened that he had been depressed for half a day. Now, there was a chance for him to explode. Oh, Grandpa Cass! Caruso naturally didnt know what Cass was thinking. After hearing this, he immediately went to Casss side. Immediately after, his expression changed and he looked at the wall in front of him with incomparable calmness. Fireball Spell! Almost at the next second, Caruso shouted loudly. After drinking, Cass was dumbfounded. His anger also rose. Didnt he hear me just now? To cast a magic skill, one must chant a spell. Only then could one control the elemental particles quickly. To cast a skill instantaneously, was a skill that only advanced mages could learn. Moreover, it was something that only geniuses among geniuses could comprehend. How could an apprentice mage who had just meditated on the elemental particles do it? But just as he was about to start his education, suddenly, Cass was stunned and looked at Caruso in a daze. After Caruso said the fireball spell, in the blink of an eye, a fireball that was twice as big as Casss appeared in front of Caruso out of thin air. Then, Caruso instantly pointed at a place and the fireball spell rushed towards the wall at the speed of light. Bang! With a loud sound, the fireball spell that Caruso cast hit the wall hard. After it hit the wall, the whole wall fell down with a loud bang. It was a mess! F*ck! Seeing that a wall was knocked down by him, Caruso immediately felt scared. He didnt have any money on him now. What if Old Man Cass asked him to pay for it! For this reason, Caruso quickly said carefully, Ca Grandpa Cass You wont blame me, right? Cass: How could the current Cass blame Caruso! He was already dumbfounded. He looked at the wall that was penetrated as if he was looking at a monster. Kid, quick, use your fireball spell to attack me. Attack with all your strength! Cass said hurriedly. He couldnt wait to see how much potential Caruso had. Oh. Caruso was slightly stunned, then nodded obediently. On the opposite side, Cass had already set up a formation, muttering strange incantations. He spread out his hands, and a huge water curtain appeared in front of him, protecting him tightly. Come on! Cass said from behind the water curtain. Fireball! Caruso shouted in a low voice. A fireball directly appeared in his palm and shot toward Casss water curtain. The moment the fireball touched the water curtain, the water curtain fell like a drop of water on a red-hot iron plate. With a loud sizzling sound, the water curtain was instantly penetrated by the fireball and evaporated in less than half a second. With a bang, the fireball flew past Casss bald head and exploded under the tree behind him. In an instant, the entire tree was set on fire. Not long after, the tree turned into a black charcoal tree. Cass was already dumbfounded the moment the fireball passed through the water curtain. Kid Tell Grandpa, are you the reincarnation of the Fire God? After a long while, Cass looked at Caruso with a sobbing tone and slowly said this sentence. When he finished saying this sentence, a crystal clear teardrop flashed in his cloudy eyes. It was not until half an hour later that Cass recovered from his grief. When he first saw Caruso, he thought that he was a fool from some village. When he saw Caruso the second time, he still thought that the child was a fool. When he saw Caruso the third time, he thought that the child was a genius. But now, when he saw Caruso, he felt that he was a fool. Forty years ago, he was like Caruso and he also awakened his elemental talent in this village. But at that time, he awakened a few fire elemental particles and a water elemental particle. But he was still the most talented youth among the group of young companions. Because of this, he was secretly happy countless times. He thought that he was a genius. However, forty years later, after he truly came into contact with the ranks of mages, he realized that his talent was only mediocre. In forty years, he had only gone from being an apprentice mage back then to becoming a three-star mage now. Among the surrounding villages, he was the strongest. However, as long as he walked towards the main city, he did not even have the qualifications to be a guard. After receiving so many blows, he had long since become indifferent to time and felt that it was fine as long as it was ordinary. He peacefully became the village chief in the village. But now, after meeting Caruso, he was almost in tears. It turned out that the gap between people was actually so big. Fortunately, after crying for a few minutes, Cass finally recovered. He taught the last two fire elemental skills to Caruso. They were fire shield and fire snake. Seeing that Caruso had learned them in an instant, Cass sighed and said earnestly, Child, I I am useless. I am not worthy to be your teacher. You can only go to the big city where there are teachers qualified to teach you magic. Hearing Casss words, Caruso nodded. Grandpa Cass, when I become a powerful mage in the future, I will definitely repay you! Caruso said. Just when Cass was about to continue speaking, suddenly, an urgent alarm sounded. Soon, another anxious voice sounded. M- Mas- Master Cass! There are wolves! The wolves have come! Chapter 6 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Hearing that anxious voice, Cass frowned. Soon, a thin and weak yellow-haired farmer appeared at the door, panting as he pointed outside the village. Seeing that the other party was breathing rapidly, Cass immediately poured a bowl of water for him. After the other party calmed down for a while, he asked, What kind of wolves? Where are they? Master Cass, its the silverback wolves! The villager replied fearfully. Silverback wolves? How many? After hearing it was silverback wolves, Casss expression also became serious. I dont know, there are probably dozens of them! When the farmer heard Casss words, he could not remember how many there were at once. He frowned and carefully tried to recall but could only answer a vague number. I didnt expect you to have the chance to practice so soon. Caruso, come with me to fight! After hearing that there were so many silverback wolves, Cass immediately said to the confused Caruso. After saying that, he didnt wait for Carusos response and directly pulled him out. In less than ten minutes, Caruso was pulled along by the village chief all the way to the village gate. At the entrance of the village, a group of panicked farmers holding pitchforks and hatchets were seen being surrounded by dozens of silverback wolves. On the way, Cass also introduced some information about silverback wolves to Caruso. Silverback wolves were a common wolf species in this area. They were bloodthirsty magical beasts. Because the fur on their backs was silver, they were called silverback wolves. This kind of wolf was one-to-two times bigger than ordinary wild wolves. It was very smart and cunning. It usually hunted in groups. Normally, this group of silverback wolves should be in the forest to look for food. They did not know why they came to the village. After arriving here, the villagers immediately fled in fear. Some of the stronger men used ordinary farm tools to fight against it. But how could ordinary people fight against silverback wolves? Soon, a few farmers were almost killed and became food for the wolf pack. Because of this, Cass was called over. After all, the mission of a mage was to protect the stability of a region and to resist the invasion of these wolves or other races. Now, only Sir Cass could fight against these wolves. Sir Cass, you should quickly deal with these magical beasts! Sir Cass, Dante has been eaten! Sir Cass, quickly make your move! Seeing these wolves crazily devouring the farmers, the villagers of Auphi Village looked to Cass fearfully and hurriedly said. Caruso, follow me to expel the wolves! After seeing the dozen level one silverback wolves in front of him, Cass frowned and said to Caruso beside him. Ding-dong. Player has received Casss quest [Eliminate the wolf pack]. Completing the quest will grant 1,000 experience points! After Cass finished speaking, a notification appeared in Carusos mind. After hearing the quest, Caruso did not waste any time and immediately stood up. Then, he looked at a silverback wolf that was staring at him. Fireball Spell! Fire Snake! In the blink of an eye, Caruso cast two fierce fire-type skills. A huge fireball was on his left hand. Similarly, fire snakes were swimming around on his right hand. After the two spells were condensed, Caruso immediately used his spiritual power to control the spell. In an instant, the fireball crashed into the silverback wolf pack like a meteor. Bang! -48 A loud sound rang out. A silverback wolf was hit by a fireball and tumbled back. Soon, a burst of flame was ignited on its body. -5 -5 -5 -5 The silverback wolfs fur was ignited by the flame. The flame kept on clinging to the silverback wolfs body and burning it. The surrounding wolf pack also received a large amount of damage. Awooo! The silverback wolf that was burned soon began to howl in pain. And then, it died. Ding-dong! Congratulations! You have killed the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Players Fire Mastery proficiency +1. After dying, white light flew out of the silverback wolfs body. After flashing for a few seconds, it entered Carusos body and turned into EXP. You can gain EXP from killing silverback wolves? After hearing the systems notification, Caruso was stunned for a moment before he quickly became excited. He originally thought that although he was a player, if he wanted to advance to a higher level as a mage, he would have to slowly meditate like the people in this world to achieve a breakthrough. However, after discovering that he could gain EXP from killing monsters he knew that his advancement would definitely not be that troublesome. When he thought of this, he was incomparably excited. Slowly meditating and leveling up was too slow. If there was no other way, it would be very difficult for him to improve. As for himself, he only needed to kill monsters to gain EXP. Such a simple, crude, and fast method was simply the greatest surprise. Thinking of this, Caruso began to work even harder to kill. Fire Snake! Following an angry shout, the fire snake on Carusos palm seemed to have grown legs and automatically found a silverback wolf to launch an attack. The fire snakes attack was a little stronger than the fireball spell. It was like a rocket, drilling into the silverback wolfs body with a whoosh and quickly piercing through its body. A bloody wound quickly appeared on the Silverback Wolfs body. -94 At the same time, a damage value appeared on the silverback wolfs head. Awooo! After the silverback wolf was pierced by the fire snake, it fell straight to the ground and died with a howl. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Players Fire Mastery +1. After the second silverback wolf was killed, seeing the reward that he had obtained, Carusos movements also became faster. Fireball! Fire Snake! Fireball! Fire Snake! -44 -5 -5 -5 -104 -59 -5 -5 Ding-dong. Congratulations on killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong. Congratulations on killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong. Congratulations to the player for successfully killing a silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Five minutes later, Caruso had already killed eight silverback wolves in a row. He had also successfully obtained 80 experience points. The 80 experience points did not allow him to level up. After checking his attributes, he discovered that he still had 20 experience points before he could level up. For this, Caruso immediately began to search for the next silverback wolf. However, when he locked onto one silverback wolf, the silverback wolves were already scared of him. How would they dare to provoke this vicious fellow? Right now, they only wanted to escape! Leave this slaughterhouse! You want to escape? Fire Snake! Seeing that the silverback wolves were extremely timid, the last three were prepared to turn around and escape. Caruso immediately rushed forward and condensed a fire snake spell into his hand. Then, he flew towards a fleeing silverback wolf. The fire serpent once again pierced through the silverback wolf like an arrow and Caruso immediately shifted his target. Fireball! Fire Snake! After casting two skills, he killed the last two silverback wolves. Ding-dong! Congratulations, Player, for successfully leveling up! Chapter 7 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Player is currently a level two, 2-star Apprentice Magician. Ding-dong! Due to players level-up, five free attribute points have been obtained. With a flash of golden light, the system prompted that Caruso had successfully leveled up and became a 2-star apprentice magician. Thats it? Perhaps it was his first taste of victory but Caruso felt that it was too unsatisfying. He muttered to the silverback wolfs corpse that had been completely exterminated. After muttering to himself, he suddenly realized that there was a shabby box above the body of a silverback wolf. Seeing this box, as a gaming fan, Caruso naturally knew that this should be the so-called dropped item. Thinking that there might be something good inside, Caruso went to the body of the silverback wolf without saying a word. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for opening the Bronze Treasure Chest, you have obtained Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for picking up [Staff C Fire Elfs Failed Product]. [Fire Elfs Failed Product] Type: Staff Weapon Quality: Bronze Effect: +5 spiritual power. Effect: +5% casting speed. Description: A failed product of the Fire Elfs Great Weapons Master from the Elven Tribe! After picking it up, a staff appeared in Carusos backpack. The staff was about one meter long. The body of the staff was engraved with mysterious runes. The entire body was red and there was a red crystal on the top. After seeing the staff and its introduction, Caruso couldnt help but lick his lips. He didnt expect that he would drop a suitable weapon in his first battle. It seemed that he was definitely the European Emperor. He looked at the staff with satisfaction but suddenly he found that all the people at the village entrance were looking at them as if there were monsters. Could there be another wolf pack? After seeing the appearance of the people, Caruso immediately turned around and looked behind him. However, when he realized that there were no other wolves behind him, the villagers suddenly ran in his direction. After a long while, who-knows-who suddenly grabbed him and threw him into the air. The people began to join in, catching him and throwing him up. As they tossed him up, they shouted, Hero! Hero! Hero! With such treatment, Caruso couldnt remain calm! If you want to thank me, then thank me. What the hell are you doing throwing me around? Unfortunately, his voice was too soft, and the villagers were extremely excited, so how could they notice his mood? Ten minutes later, Caruso slowly landed on the ground, rubbing his waist. No one knew whether he was angry or happy. Sir Mage, are you hungry? What? Sir Mage is hungry? Ill go home and kill the cow and fry it for you! Daniel, quickly get your chess pieces and bring out the best wheat flour in the village. Lets us cook a sumptuous feast for you! Franklin, bring out the wine in our cellar. We want to treat you to a feast. Hayao. You, kid, quickly bring your men and clean up the market. We want to have a banquet! Someone in the crowd asked Caruso if he was hungry. This question was immediately misunderstood by a slightly reputable person in the village as him not eating. Immediately, they began to prepare a sumptuous banquet. Caruso did not have time to refuse and was dragged by the villagers to the market. Coincidentally, he did not know if it was because he had consumed too much mental energy or something else, but his stomach was indeed a little hungry. Therefore, he followed the villagers half-heartedly. Auphi Village was one of the hundreds of villages under the jurisdiction of Holy Orchid City. The architectural style here was similar to the Central European villages of the 15th and 16th centuries on Earth. There were no high-rise buildings around and the houses were all made of wood in the ancient European style. Similarly, the so-called market was a place similar to a square. There was a well in the middle, two or three houses on both sides, and two long but not too big pavilions that were used for resting or storing buckets. After arriving here, a few villagers immediately lit a bonfire enthusiastically. In an instant, the originally dark place became bright. The fiery red color shone on everyones bodies. Let us thank this young mage with songs and dances! Less than a minute after arriving here, a person suddenly bowed respectfully to Caruso with his right hand placed in front of his chest. Then, he shouted at the villagers who were lucky enough to survive the disaster. After shouting, the villagers immediately became excited. Before long, a few people with unknown musical instruments began to play. A burst of music gradually sounded in the square. After the sound, the villagers also walked to the well and began to sing and dance. Soon after the dancing, the singing, and the music began, someone put the slaughtered meat on a plate and carried it in front of Caruso. Caruso was not shy in the face of the villagers enthusiasm. After casually eating something, he joined the crowd and danced with them. Under the countless bottles of wine, Carusos face gradually turned red. He began to feel a little dizzy. With the effect of alcohol, he actually taught the modern 21st-century worlds horse-riding dance1 to everyone. The villagers who saw the horse-riding dance for the first time, after seeing Caruso perform the martial arts that were strange but had a strong sense of rhythm, began to imitate it. Soon, the villagers of Auphi Village all learned the horse-riding dance under the guidance of Caruso! Perhaps it was because of the many years of oppression in real life, so after feeling such enthusiasm from the villagers During this night, his entire being seemed to be letting loose. His laughter was incessant, and his alcohol tolerance increased greatly. The next morning, when the sunlight passed through the attics glass window and hit Carusos face. He slowly woke up. After waking up, he felt waves of pain at the back of his head. After walking out of the house, many of the early villagers began to greet him warmly when they saw him. Good morning, Respectable Sir Mage! Good morning, Respectable Sir Mage! Good morning, Respectable Sir Mage! Everyone was like a repeater, saying the same words enthusiastically. Caruso also smiled and nodded at everyone, but did not say anything. After experiencing so much, he immediately went to the village chiefs home. After all, he did not know that he had been staying in this novice village. If he wanted to know more, if he wanted to learn more, he had to go to a bigger place. The village chief was probably the only one who could help him answer his doubts. Holy Orchid City is your best choice! Ten minutes later, Caruso came to Casss home. After arriving at his home, he did not waste any time and directly expressed his thoughts. After he finished speaking, Cass hesitated for a moment before answering. This was not the first time he had heard of Holy Orchid City. After hearing about this place a few times, Caruso gradually became expectant. He hurriedly asked, Holy Orchid City? How do I get there? Humph, you are such a heartless brat! Forget it, forget it. For a genius like you, staying here is also a waste of your life. This is the map to Holy Orchid City. Follow the route planned on the map. You should be able to reach it after walking for two days! Chapter 8 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Cass seemed to have known that Caruso was leaving, so he was not surprised at all. He only complained for a while, then took out a yellowed map from the cabinet at home. After taking out the map, he blew at the dust on it, and then spread it on the wooden table. After seeing the map to Holy Orchid City, Caruso was too lazy to argue with this old man, he immediately licked his lips and said, Grandpa Cass, there are so many places along the way, and I dont have anything to protect myself. Do you have any Ahem, for example, some kind of divine artifact or some kind of potion that can make you stronger? Hey, hey, hey? If I had a divine artifact, why would I stay in this lousy place? Your Grandpa Cass, besides a mage robe issued by the Guild of Magic that is valuable, I dont have anything else, not to mention that you cant wear my clothes! When Cass heard that this disloyal Caruso not only wanted to leave but also demanded a divine weapon, he immediately stomped his feet and cursed. If you dont have it, then so be it. Why are you so angry? Seeing that Cass was furious, Caruso immediately became a chatterbox. Soon, Cass heard Carusos chattering and immediately prepared to put away the map. He said angrily, What did you say! Seeing that the map was about to be confiscated, Caruso immediately said, No, no. I mean, Master Cass, you are so bright, like a flame in the darkness, shining on the village. After saying that, he took the map in his hand in the blink of an eye and threw it out of the room. Grandpa Cass, when I am strong, I will definitely come back to see you! Caruso, who had run out, shouted at Cass who was in the room. After shouting, he disappeared without a trace. This kid. After watching Caruso disappear from his sight, Cass couldnt help but shake his head and scold him with a smile. But in the next second, suddenly, Cass found something was wrong. He touched his waist nervously. When he found nothing on his waist, he immediately rushed out and cursed in the direction Caruso was running. Bastard! Thats my life savings! Yes, when Caruso was communicating with Cass, he stole Casss money bag. It was precisely because of this that he ran so fast. When Cass saw that his money was probably not going to be returned, he could only add on sadly. You brat, save your money for me! After saying that, he stood in the wind in a mess. Because of his voice, the surrounding villagers gathered over one by one, not knowing what had happened. After they gathered over, a little boy with a runny nose looked at Cass in a daze and said, Grandpa Cass, why are you crying? Theres dust in my eye, what about it? Hearing the little fattys words, Cass shouted angrily and turned around to go home. The fat little boy was so frightened by Casss sudden fierce attack that his whole body trembled and tears fell down uncontrollably. The sound of crying immediately sounded in the village. Whats wrong with Sir Cass? Haa, isnt he just jealous of our young hero, Mage Caruso? Yes. Yes, I saw something wrong yesterday. Master Cass might be jealous. Didnt I tell you? Sir Caruso is a mage even more powerful than Sir Cass. Yes, yes, yes. I really hope that Sir Caruso can finish learning magic and return as soon as possible, become a powerful mage, and then protect our village. Hey, hey, hey! What are you thinking? Sir Caruso is going to become a noble high-level mage in the future. How could he come to our village? As Cass shouted angrily, the villagers began to point and point. And these voices fell into Casss ears almost word for word. Hearing the villagers talk about him like this, he was about to go crazy with anger. Not only did the other party steal his money but he also fell into the label of being jealous of a genius? What the f*ck. Is there any justice? Only seven gold coins. Hes really poor! The forest rumbled. Caruso counted the money he stole from Cass and complained helplessly. As a modern man, he deeply understood a principle. That is, if you have money, you can travel all over the world. If you dont have money, you cant go. It was the same no matter how different the world was. For this reason, he made this decision at the first moment. But what he didnt expect was that Village Chief Cass was really poor! In this world, one gold coin was equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin was equivalent to one hundred copper coins. One gold coin was enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year. Six gold coins for an ordinary family might be considered not bad. But who was Cass? An honorable mage! A mage who was revered, but his entire body had only six gold coins. How could this not make Caruso complain? What he did not know was that the main reason Cass was so poor was that before he received the money from the Guild of Magic every month, most of it was used to buy some magic tools to help the children of poor families to awaken their spirits. Cass was already over fifty years old and he had long lost any desire for money. Thus, helping others was a good thing. Hiss hiss Hiss Hiss While Caruso was counting the money, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the bushes. The sound coming from the forest made him raise his guard. One had to know that this was not the modern peaceful world. Danger was everywhere. He was only a two-star apprentice mage. Although he was unrivaled in talent, his strength was still very weak. If he was not careful, he would not even know how to die. Hmm? Silver fur? A few seconds later, he stopped and looked in the direction of the noise. Caruso soon saw something strange in the forest. He saw a bunch of eye-catching silver fur exposed in the grass. Fireball! Without any nonsense, Caruso seized the initiative and began to attack. Regardless of whether it was a beast or not, life or death was nothing. If they attacked him, he would be finished! In the blink of an eye, the flame successfully condensed in front of Caruso. After condensing the support, it rushed into the bushes with a red stream of light. After the fireball landed in the bushes, it instantly exploded like a bomb. Bang! The sound was accompanied by sparks in all directions. Instantly, the bushes were set ablaze. Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! If he didnt fight, he wouldnt know what was going to happen. After Caruso cast the fireball, the plants in the bushes were instantly burned away at a speed visible to the naked eye. The vegetation that was burned also lost its function as a shield. In the forest not far away, dozens of silverback wolves gathered together and stared at Caruso. They bared their fangs and drooled as they stared at Caruso greedily. The few silverback wolves at the front that were burned by the flames lay on the ground, rolling and howling. F*ck! Seeing so many silverback wolves, Caruso was completely stunned. He didnt expect that the other side had so many. Chapter 9 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Silverback wolves were only low-level monsters. They usually moved in groups. They were extremely wolf-like in nature and would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Caruso had killed so many of his companions at the entrance of the village, which naturally attracted the attention of the leader. After noticing it, the leader made a decision at the first moment. He gathered all the silverback wolves and surrounded them to seek revenge. But unexpectedly, when they were ready to make a move, they were found by Caruso first. Fireball! Fireball! Fireball! Fire Snake! Fire Snake! Fire Snake! There was almost no extraneous movement and, after seeing so many silverbacks, Caruso unleashed his skills in a frenzy. At the moment, he was like a magic energy cannon, endlessly casting skills at the wolves not far away. Seeing Carusos fierce attack, the silverback wolves were completely dumbfounded. It was not that they had never fought against a mage as an enemy before. But it was the first time they had met a mage who was so bold and attacked so recklessly. Usually, when a mage saw so many wolves, the first thing they would do was think of a way to escape. Even a high-level mage would subconsciously run away when they saw so many. After all, no matter how powerful a mage was, they were still magesnot magi or archmagi. They only knew a few skills. In addition to the lack of mana, they basically did not cast any spells if they could. But what about Caruso? He kept casting spells randomly. In just thirty seconds, he had cast seven-to-eight spells and more. Although the damage value of a level one spell is not that high, the sheer amount cannot be withstood. And so, soon, the land of the wolves became a land of purgatory. Theres a lot of hurt coming out of that place. -84 -64 -5 -5 -5 -77 -51 -5 -5 -5 The silverback wolves were known for their weakness against fire-type magic. In addition, this was a forest, and wood made fire. The natural environment was basically prepared for Caruso. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen silverback wolves died in the raging fire. They did not even get within a meter of Caruso. While Caruso was frantically casting his magic, his experience points were also soaring! Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. At this very moment, in front of the blazing fire, Caruso finally realized how powerful he was. If one were to say that when he first entered this game, he still felt that his so-called early login was only because he had entered before the players. His level would be amazingly higher than the other partys and he would know more than those who came later. But now, he understood that the biggest benefit of early login was that he could receive all kinds of first rewards. A reward of 5,000 permanent mana points for a first meditation had played an arrogant role at this moment. Fireball was a level 1 magic skill. Every time the skill was used, 50 MP would be consumed. Caruso currently had 6,100 mana points in his body, which meant that he could release the skill 122 times in a row before his mana was depleted. To be precise, he would recover 5 MP per second. One-hundred twenty-two releases required at least five minutes to complete. Five minutes was equivalent to 300 seconds. In other words, after he released 122 fireballs, he could release another six skills. Assuming that two attacks could kill a daemon. In other words, even if 50 silverback wolves came, they would still die under his crazy attacks. In other words, these silverback wolves were here to give him experience points. Thinking of this, Caruso no longer had any fear from before. He became braver and braver as he fought. Fireball! Fire Snake! Fireball! Fireball! Fire Snake! In a short span of ten seconds, Caruso threw out another five spells. With the help of the trees, when the flames hit, they would shoot out. In the blink of an eye, a massive fire would erupt. As a result, the silverback wolves had nowhere to run. It was as if it had been locked onto, waiting to die in a circle. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong!

Congratulations Player for leveling up. HP and MP automatically restored to full condition. Ten minutes later, when Caruso had cast over 70 spells, a warm current and a system notification informed him that he had leveled up! After leveling up, Caruso felt as if his entire body was bathed in warm sunlight. His HP and Mana recovered to their optimal state. At the same time, his freely distributed attributes increased by five points. His mana automatically increased by 100 points. A faint smile appeared on Carusos face when he saw this. His attitude towards the wolf pack had also completely changed. His previous worry had now turned into excitement. At this moment, he could not wait for another few hundred silverback wolves. After all, this way, he would be able to level up quickly. If an ordinary three-star or four-star mage were to know of this idea, they would definitely widen their eyes. One had to know that although these silverback wolves were the lowest level of wolf species, there were still many of them. Once their mana was depleted, they could only wait for death. It could be said that for those three-star, seven-star, and eight-star mages. They would rather meet a single level-three wolf than fight against a pack of silverback wolves. Because once they encountered a hundred level 1 magical beasts, the only outcome would be death! But Carusos thoughts were simply heaven-defying! Of course, in the entire world, within this realm, only Caruso had the qualifications to think about it. For the rest of the mages, even if they were top-tier geniuses, when they encountered a hundredno, even thirty, they could only run for their lives. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for successfully killing the silverback wolf. Obtained 10 EXP. After a full hour, over 60 silverback wolves were all killed. Carusos experience points had also soared to the peak. If he got another 30 EXP, he would be able to become a 4-star apprentice mage. However, there were two things that he could not do. First, the silverback wolf had given him a treasure. Second, there was no treasure chest. This made him feel helpless. Awooo! Awooo! Awooo! Perhaps it was because he had never forced a person into a corner, Caruso shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, a loud wolf howl came from the forest. After the sound, a silverback wolf that was more than twice the size of a normal silverback wolf ran down from the mountain. Chapter 10 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL After arriving at the purgatory-like scene, this silverback wolf once again wailed, hot tears flowing down its face. After shedding its tears, it stared at Caruso as if it had seen its enemy. This silverback wolf, which was several times larger than the other silverback wolves, had another obvious difference. The difference was mainly on its forehead. There was a tuft of fiery red hair on its forehead. This tuft of hair was densely packed together, like a mark. Roar! The silverback wolf with the mark glared at Caruso. Immediately, it dug its claws into the ground and charged at Caruso with an angry roar. The moment it charged at Caruso, a ball of fire that was slightly bigger than the fireball that Caruso had used appeared. This? Seeing the ball of fire attack, Caruso was stunned on the spot. Then, subconsciously, he immediately cast the only ability that Cass had given him previously. Fire Shield! After casting this spell, a shield condensed from flames appeared in front of him, blocking the ball of fire. Bang! The silverback wolf kings ball of fire finally collided with the fire shield. Perhaps due to the same attribute, although the ball of fire had broken the fire shield, its power had completely disappeared. However, the impact of the ball of fire still caused Caruso to fall straight to the ground. Caruso, who was knocked to the ground by the ball of fire, immediately frowned. If he guessed correctly, this huge silverback wolf was the legendary boss. Otherwise, he would not know how to explain why such a low-level wolf would spit out a fireball. Roar! The silverback wolf king. Caruso was not killed by him. He became even angrier. His eyes were blood red and saliva dripped from his fangs. Do you really think Im afraid of you? Seeing the silverback wolf kings attitude, Caruso became even more vicious. Originally, he was annoyed by the fact that he almost leveled up but now he was in such a sorry state. Especially when he saw the attitude of the silverback wolf king. How could Caruso still hold his anger? He immediately stood up and began to face the enemy head-on. Fire Shield! In the next second, Caruso first added a fire shield to himself. Although he was angry, he still had to pay attention to his safety. Once the fire shield was cast, he immediately aimed in the direction of the silverback wolf king and began to cast spells frantically. Fire Snake! Fire Snake! Fireball Spell! Fireball Spell! Fireball Spell! Two fire snakes and a fireball spell were cast in the blink of an eye. The reason why he chose to cast fire snake first was that this skill was not an AOE attack skill. In addition, the fire snakes speed was extremely fast. This prevented the opponent from dodging. In addition, three fireballs landed around the silverback wolf king. It instantly locked onto its surroundings. No matter which direction the opponent fled to, they were all locked down by Caruso! As the leader, the silverback wolf king was naturally intelligent. It naturally knew what Caruso was thinking. However, it knew that in the face of absolute strength, no matter how smart it was, it was useless. For this reason, when the martial arts skill locked it down, the only thing it could do was to take it head-on. However, the only choice was to take that spell head-on. In almost a second, the silverback wolf king made a decision. It did not retreat. Instead, it charged towards the direction of a fireball spell. It was prepared to reactivate the fireball spell and come in front of Caruso, then kill him with one strike. Unfortunately, it had underestimated Caruso! It had underestimated Carusos strength. Perhaps the fireball spells cast by ordinary apprentice magicians, not even one-star magicians, were extremely ordinary. However, under the enhancement of magic power, the power of Carusos fireball spell was more than twice as terrifying as normal fireball spells. In addition to the 20% increase in fire mastery, was this a skill that a mere silverback wolf king could use its physical body to withstand? Bang! -144 Soon, a loud sound was heard, accompanied by a bright red three-digit damage. The entire body of the silverback wolf king felt as if it had been hit by a giant hammer. In an instant, it was like a kite with its string cut off. It was sent flying in the air, it only slowly landed after it hit a towering tree! Fireball! Fire Snake! Seeing that the boss was seeking his own death, Caruso instantly cast a fireball from his left hand and a fireball from his right hand. Under his lock-on, the raging flames flew towards the silverback wolf king. The fire snake had also started to attack at a tricky speed. Awooo! When the fire snake pierced through the silverback wolf kings body like a sharp sword, a wave of wails resounded throughout the entire forest. Immediately after, the fireball carried the billowing heat wave, burning its body. -107 -66 -5 -5 -5 -5 Seeing the general barrage stop, silverback wolf king seems to be ready for the final counterattack. It slowly got up, regardless of the body of the flame, and locked straight onto Caruso, wanting to have a final blow. However, Caruso would not give it this chance. Fireball! Following the last fireball, the silverback wolf king fell. The power in its body turned into a white light and entered Carusos body. Ding-dong!

First kill reward obtained!] [World Announcement: Ding-dong, Congratulations to Player Caruso for killing Silverback Wolf King. First kill reward obtained. First kill reward obtained!] A series of notifications caused three rays of golden light to flash out of Carusos body. He immediately went from a 3-star apprentice mage to a 6-star apprentice mage. If Cass knew about this, he would definitely dissect and study this fellow. After studying him, he would immediately commit suicide! Because this was f*cking terrifying! It was too terrifying! An ordinary mage, even if they had extraordinary talent, wouldnt it take at least a month to go from a 1-star apprentice mage to a 6-star apprentice mage? What about Caruso? It only took him one day! How could this not be shocking! And not only did the person in question not realize this, he even felt that his leveling speed was already very slow. Just like that, he was even a freaking apprentice! This was simply an insult to the identity of a transmigrator! Of course, while he was complaining, a treasure chest that was flashing with silver light was lying quietly on the body of the silverback wolf king! Chapter 11 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL There was something called fate. For example, a treasure chest! Despite seeing the treasure chest for the second time, Caruso was still very excited. The reason why he was excited was that the first time he saw the treasure chest, a bronze weapon had appeared. After the bronze weapon was dropped, he did not use it immediately. The reason was very cheap: he was afraid of being noticed. After all, before he met Cass, he clearly didnt know how to meditate. But when a magic weapon suddenly appeared, wouldnt Cass think too much? After all, even though it was a bronze-grade magic staff, as a six-star mage, Cass didnt have the qualifications to own it. Thus, the value of a magic weapon was self-evident. During this period, Caruso had also inquired about it. Why did he not have a weapon? After asking, Cass informed him. It turned out that since the war of the ancient gods, the dwarves had disappeared in large numbers for some unknown reason. As a result, there were fewer and fewer craftsmen who could forge magic equipment. In addition, as the number of mages increased over time, the price of weapons became more and more expensive. Even the descendants of ordinary nobles could only wear some low-level magic weapons that could not be any lower. For example, Caruso found out that the bronze staff in his hands could be sold for at least 100 gold coins. Moreover, there was a price but no market for it. After all, magic weapons were rarer than gold coins. If it was a high-level magic weapon, as long as one was willing to sell it, someone would be willing to offer a few cities in exchange. After this explanation, the value of magic weapons went without saying. Even the most trashy bronze treasure chest could give out bronze-level magic equipment. Then, could this silver treasure chest give out silver-level and gold-level weapons? With this thought in mind, Caruso naturally became excited. European Emperor possession! When Caruso reached the treasure chest, he suddenly took a bite of his own milk. After shouting, he immediately opened the silver treasure chest. Ding-dong! Congratulations player for opening the silver treasure chest and obtaining [Necromancers Will] 1. Huh? Whats going on? Its stuck? Following a system notification, a wrinkled yellow letter appeared in Carusos backpack. Then, nothing else happened. The system seemed to be dead and didnt say anything else. For this reason, Caruso immediately thought that the owner of this world was stuck, which was why he didnt hear the news. A few seconds later. F*ck, a silver treasure chest opened up with such a f*cking thing? When Caruso realized that the world didnt have a card owner, he couldnt help but complain. After all, he had opened the treasure chest with great anticipation. Why did he open a suicide note now? Caruso was not an explorer. If he had a choice, he would rather have a skill book or magic equipment, even if it was at least some magic potions in his backpack. What the hell was a necromancers suicide note? He had never heard of it and did not want to hear it. However, since he had obtained it, he had no choice but to accept it. After repeatedly opening the safe until the treasure chest turned into white light and disappeared, Caruso resigned himself to his fate. He opened his backpack and took out this [Necromancers Will]. After taking it out, he realized that this suicide note was just a quest item and was not that simple. Ding-dong. Do you accept the request of Necromancer Moke? A few seconds later, when he was flipping through the will, the systems voice suddenly sounded. Accept! Although it was not big, Caruso felt that this thing was extraordinary. It was not that he had not read novels about other worlds in his previous life. Necromancers often appeared in other worlds. However, this class was an evil class and, every time it appeared, it would be accompanied by a big plot. Although Caruso ridiculed it, he didnt want to miss such an opportunity. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for accepting [Necromancer Moke]s mission! Ding-dong! Due to the players weak strength, the current mission doesnt have a hint. Please work hard to level up to a grand mage and activate the mission! However, just as Caruso was filled with anticipation, he thought that there would be a big quest plot waiting for him to clear the level. Suddenly, the system said something with a hint of disdain, making him unable to remain calm! I have to look down on my strength. Regarding the systems settings, Caruso shrugged his shoulders. Since he could not accept the current quest, Caruso did not stay here blindly. After being wiped out, he had become a 6-star apprentice magician, but he had not checked his attributes yet. After settling everything, he immediately checked his attributes. Check my attributes! ID: Caruso Class: Full-Time Mage (Hidden Class) Level: 6-star Apprentice Magician (1,400/1,500) HP: 600 Mana: 600 Strength: 10 Spirit: 10 Defense: 10 Agility: 10 Skills: [Tier 1 Spell C Fireball], [Tier 1 Spell C Fire Snake], [Tier 1 Spell C Fire Shield] Special Skills: [Berserker Gods Protection (when activated, enters a rampage state; consumes 100 MP per second. All attributes increase by 50%)](Upgradable) Innate Skill: Instant Cast. Special Talent: Mana Source (After becoming a mage, mana increases by 10 times.) Equipment: Bronze Weapon Fire Elfs Failed Product Item: Basic Magic Potion x10 Money: 6 Gold, 17 Silver, 33 Copper Magic Companion: temporarily none Territory: temporarily none Rank: temporarily none Reputation: temporarily none Is the reward for the first kill so terrifying? After looking at his attributes, Caruso couldnt help but mutter. The main reason why he was so shocked was because of the special skill after the first kill. Berserker Gods Protection. The special effect of a 50% increase in attributes. This was simply a terrifying trump card. Moreover, this skill could be upgraded. In other words, the effects of the attributes would continue to stack. Thinking of this, how could he not be shocked. After being shocked, Caruso could not help but ask the system. System, how can a skill be upgraded? Answer the host. The host can obtain skill experience points through meditation. Hmm? Meditation? Skill Experience Points? Answering the host. When the host meditates, he can obtain elemental particles between heaven and earth. These elemental particles are the experience points of common skills. Following the systems explanation, Caruso gained some understanding of skill leveling. But very quickly, he continued to ask about strength. So the purpose of meditation is to obtain skill experience points, I thought meditation was to obtain leveling experience points, then how do I level up my special skills and innate skills? Answer the host, regarding special skills and innate skills that can evolve, if you want to evolve, you need a mysterious knife. Just relying on skill experience points is not enough to level up. The system slowly explained the problem word by word. Chapter 12 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL After understanding this, Caruso thought for a moment, nodded, and then asked, How many skill experience points do I have now? Answer the number, you now have 10,471 skill experience points. More than 10,000 experience points? Then can I level up? When he heard the system say that he had more than 10,000 experience points, Caruso was immediately interested. He wondered what 10,000 experience points could level up a skill to. When the system heard Carusos words, it immediately listed three statistics in front of Caruso, then, it answered, Yes. Currently, the player has three types of spells that can be leveled up: Fireball, Fire Snake, and Fire Shield. Which one you want to level up? [Fireball] Type: Fire Magic Level: LVL 1(Basic Tier 1 spell) Cost: 50 MP Effect: Deals fire damage to the enemy. Experience: 1/1000 [Fire Snake] Type: Fire Magic Level: LVL 1(Basic Tier 1 spell) Cost: 50 MP Effect: Condenses a fire serpent and charges towards the enemy. Experience: 0/1000 [Fire Shield] Type: Fire Magic Level: LVL 1(Basic Tier 1 Magic) Effect: Creates a fire magic shield that increases defense by 20% and fire magic resistance by 5%. Experience: 0/1000 After looking at the stats of the three skills, Caruso thought for a moment and said, Level up fireball. Ding-dong! Do you wish to spend 999 experience points to level up Fireball? Yes! Soon, as Caruso made his choice, the systems voice sounded. After it sounded, the attributes of fireball also changed. [ Fireball] Type: Fire Magic Level: LVL 2(Tier 1 Intermediate Magic) Cost: 100 MP Effect: Causes a huge amount of fire damage to the enemy. Experience: 0/2000 Although the fireball spell had been upgraded, other than the change from a basic tier 1 spell to a tier 1 intermediate spell, the effect had changed from causing fire damage to causing a huge amount of fire damage to the enemy. After seeing the changes in its attributes, Caruso muttered to himself, Instead of leveling all the skills, why dont I level up a single skill to the highest level! After saying that, he steeled his heart and focused all of his skill experience points on the fireball spell. Ding-dong! Do you wish to level up the fireball spell? Yes! Ding-dong! After deducting 2,000 skill experience points, the remaining 7,470 points will be used to level up the fireball spell! [Fireball Spell] Type: Fire Magic Level: LVL 3 (Tier 1 Advanced Magic) Cost: 200 MP Effect: Causes a terrifying amount of fire damage to the enemy. Experience: 0/5,000 Once again, the attributes of his skills changed. Without any hesitation, Caruso took out another 5,000 experience points and threw them in. Ding-dong! Deducted 5,000 skill experience points. Currently, Fireball is level 4! Ding-dong! Fireball skill level has reached the strongest tier 1 spell! After pushing fireball skill to the strongest tier 1 spell in one breath, the consumption of fireball skill increased from 100 MP to 200 MP. Agreed. The experience points had increased from 5,000 to 10,000. If he wanted to level up, the number of experience points required would be terrifying. After looking at the changes in the attributes, Caruso could not help but start experimenting. A few seconds later, he stood in front of a towering tree and slowly calmed down. Then, he began to cast the upgraded fireball spell! Fireball! With a loud shout, a ball of fire the size of a basketball suddenly appeared out of thin air. After it appeared, the surface of the fireball was emitting a faint blue flame. Bang! As it flew, the fireball landed in front of the towering tree in the blink of an eye. A violent explosion sounded in the forest. The fireball was like a super-powerful grenade, directly exploding the tree. After the explosion, the flame swallowed the tree, like a fire snake mercilessly devouring it. It didnt take long for the towering tree to turn into ashes. Its effect was even more terrifying than the power of the fireball spell! Oh no! How could I be so stupid! An anxious voice suddenly came from the room where Cass was in the Auphi Village. Holding a brand new map in his hand, Casss face was full of frustration as he stood dejectedly at the door, thinking about something. It turned out that the map that Cass had given Caruso was an ancient map. This map was a map from decades ago. It was also a map of a secret realm in the Yass Empire. Thirty years ago, the evil dark mage Bard was discovered by the powerhouses of the Temple of Light during a terrifying incident. After being discovered, the Temple of Light directly sent out dozens of grand archmagi to kill Bard. However, when they made a move, Bard had already escaped. The powerhouses of the Temple of Light followed the scent and clues. They followed him all the way to a mountain 300 miles away from the Auphi Village. Then, an intense battle took place. The result of the battle was self-evident. Bard had been suppressed. However, the Temple of Light had to pay the price of three archbishops and 100 bishops to suppress him. Because the evil substance was too powerful, the Red Bishop of the Temple of Light had to take action personally to completely suppress Bard and seal all the dark substances in the mountain. After this was over, the people of the Temple of Light would personally recite the scriptures here every year, with the goal of completely eliminating Bards soul. After thirty years, the Dark Forest that sealed the evil spirits had gradually become clear. It was no longer gray inside but only outside. Once they entered the depths, there was still a large amount of dark energy entrenched inside. This made it so that ordinary mages did not dare to approach. Even the powerhouses of the Temple of Light needed a large amount of equipment and powerful strength to get close. However, every time they reached within a kilometer, they would suffer a backlash from the energy. According to their different levels, there were already powerhouses who were considered to be of the Temple of Light. There were also a few hundred exploration mages who had all died here. Because of this, in the eyes of mages, this place was already publicly recognized as a forbidden area. And the most important thing had come. Because this place was located as a forbidden area, the Holy Orchid City under the jurisdiction of the Yass Empire had replanned the route. This was to the extent that anyone who wanted to go to Holy Orchid City would have to take a big detour. However, the advantage of taking a detour was that they would not accidentally enter it. And the map in Casss hands was the old version of the map. The new map was not in his possession. After all, he had been in the village for decades. He could walk to the main city with his eyes closed. After all the new maps fell into his hands, he directly taught some villagers to know the way. Chapter 13 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL For this reason, when Caruso wanted to leave the village The map he took out was from 30 years ago. The biggest problem with this 30-year-old map was that if he followed this map, this person would definitely pass through the Dark Forest, and he would even walk into the depths of the Dark Forest! The Dark Forest was where all the dark-type magic powers were located. And what was dark magic? It was taboo! Although the magic elements in this world were divided into nine, the dark magic elements were also included in it. However, the destructive power of dark magic was extremely strong. In addition, the cultivation process of this kind of magic was extremely inhumane. People who practiced this kind of magic would eventually choose to submit in front of their strength and then their humanity would be twisted. Then, they would walk on a path of no return. For the sake of peace and the dignity of mages, they would not allow this kind of magic. Most importantly, this rule was set by the various grand archmagi back then. No one dared to break it! Its terror, coupled with its taboo, was so great that anyone who practiced dark magic would immediately be condemned as a sinner. Everyone would be killed! If he followed the trajectory of the map, Caruso would definitely enter the Dark Forest. Once he entered the Dark Forest, with Carusos current meager realm, it was needless to think that a wisp of dark energy would be enough to kill him hundreds of times. Therefore, after discovering this matter, Cass was in a bad mood. He did not expect that a little guy who was about to become a peerless genius would actually die because of a mistake Because of his own mistake! At this time, Caruso had already left the village for seven or eight hours. According to the speed of his legs, Caruso should have already reached the edge of the Dark Forest. Cass was very free to save him. However, he knew that he was too late. If he went, it would be a waste. In the midst of Casss worry. At the edge of the Dark Forest. When Caruso arrived here according to the map, he was very helpless. He didnt know if it was getting late or what but, deep in this area, he felt that it was too dark. If it wasnt because he already had powerful strength and he also had a system that accompanied him along the way, Caruso swore that he would immediately leave this placeeven if he had to take a detour. I say, System, dont we have any mounts? For example, flying dragons, ferocious beasts, and so on. Caruso, who was hurrying along, muttered as he tried to use a teasing method to dispel his fear. Hehe! Regarding Carusos nagging method, the system coldly replied to him with two syllables and no longer spoke. Along the way, this fellow was simply greedy and shameless, completely defeating it. If it wasnt for the fact that it could only store items in other peoples spiritual world, it would definitely jump out and slap Carusos face. It had never seen such a shameless person before. After coming to the Dark Forest, this fellow either wanted a divine artifact or wanted to stretch out its hand. He even found an excuse for himself. He said that he was afraid that he would die and cause the system to collapse. If it was shameless, then it was shameless. He sounded so high and mighty. If it wasnt because it was this fellows system, it swore that it would definitely rush out and kill this fellow. Look at how stingy you are. Isnt it just a mount? Is there a need for that? Facing the systems Hehe, Caruso rolled his eyes and retorted. After saying that, a voice suddenly came from the system. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for discovering the secret land [Dark Forest]. Rewarding 2000 EXP. Ding-dong! The player has unexpectedly opened the storyline quest [Bards Revenge]. What? When he heard these two sounds, Caruso furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought. Actually, for the current him, he really did not want to encounter any quest, nor did it seem like he would encounter any in time. The reason was very simple. His current level was too low. It was so bad that any powerful mage or powerful magical beast would be able to kill him. If he had a certain level of strength, he would definitely be happy if he encountered such a mission. However, under such circumstances, he only wanted to arrive at the main city with peace of mind and then develop in a wretched manner. A game from his previous life had already imprinted many things on him, such as dont wave. Reality proved that many people were born with good conditions and had a good start. Later on, they would go crazy like wolves, resulting in their good cards being played to a pulp. If they were playing games, it would be fine, but if they were great, they would lose. But this was the magical world. Death here was very close to everyone. Especially for those who had strength. Ordinary people were fine. They stayed in the city and didnt go anywhere. They lived their lives in mediocrity. If something happened, the tall man would take care of it. But he was different. He wanted to become the strongest man in this world. Under such circumstances, especially when he was just starting out, he really didnt want to touch anything. It wasnt that he was cowardly, but under the circumstances of opportunity, there was endless danger. The system had said before that under the condition of pre-logging in, once one died, it was true death. As for the reward, he valued life more. However, things had already come to this point. Caruso could only accept his fate and continue down the path. Ding-dong! Large amounts of dark magic elemental particles have been detected in the surroundings. Through meditation, players can absorb special magic elements! After Caruso had thrown away all his worries, the systems voice once again urged him. Although he was afraid of death, he yearned even more for power. Whether it was in the fire, poison, or in this world. Only power could keep him moving forward. Dark element magic itself was an extremely rare existence. It could be said that out of 10,000 mages, there were 9,999 that were wind, fire, water, wood, and earth. The five basic elemental mages. However, it was very difficult to pick out a rare one, a special one, such as ice, lightning, and light. Perhaps only one or two out of ten-thousand mages had this attribute. As for dark mages Out of ten-thousand people, there was not one. Only out of a million mages could there be one who could be a dark elemental mage. All of this was because dark magic was forbidden. Even if someone had the talent to become a dark mage, he would still have no chance to learn or understand. As a result, dark magic belonged to the Yass Empire or even the rarest magician in the entire continent. Similarly, because of its rarity, the mage who practiced dark magic tended to be extremely powerful. A dark mage with the same level of magic, under the same level of strength, could beat a powerhouse of the same level. Moreover, it was very easy to challenge someone of a higher level. And all of this was what Caruso had heard from Cass. At first, he had never thought that he would be able to come into contact with anything related to the dark element so quickly. For this, he had never thought about it. But now, after the systems prompt, he could not help but feel a burst of anticipation. Chapter 14 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL If he could absorb these dark elemental particles, he could even complete this mission. Would there be any unexpected surprises? Caruso did not know, but he was looking forward to it! It should be here! A few minutes later, Caruso arrived at the edge of the Dark Forest. After arriving here, he faintly noticed that this place was unusual. Because, after he muttered to himself for a while, he sat down cross-legged. Then, he used the meditation mage that Grandpa Cass handed over to him and began his meditation. Caruso, who sat down cross-legged, almost in the blink of an eye, entered a meditative state. The meditative state was a very mysterious situation. Some people said that this was the entrance test for mages. Some people said that this was the world of communication with magic. Some people even said that the world that meditation entered was actually the essence of the world. And no matter what, meditation was a very fateful thing. If one didnt know how to meditate, then that person would lose the qualification to be a mage. Of course, this had nothing to do with Caruso, because he was a genius. A super terrifying genius. If an ordinary genius wanted to enter the state of meditation, they would need at least a few minutes to prepare. Those super-geniuses would need at least a few seconds to write their lyrics. But for Caruso, meditation was like breathing. He only needed to close his eyes and he would be able to enter this state. When he entered this state and opened his eyes again, he found himself in the world of meditation. After arriving in this world, his surroundings were still gray. He could not see anything clearly. Everything was empty. However, a second later, with Caruso as the center, waves of terrifying dark elemental particles erupted from the surroundings. When these particles appeared out of thin air, Caruso panicked. He didnt say that he saw anything. Instead, he discovered that there were simply too many dark elemental particles around him. There were so many of them that there was no end to them. Very quickly, these dark elemental particles seemed to have found their owner as they charged towards Caruso one by one. It was as if there was something on Caruso that attracted them. In the blink of an eye, it entered his body. Ding-dong! Player successfully absorbs dark particles. Dark-type skill experience +1. Ding-dong! Player successfully absorbs dark particles. Dark-type skill experience +1. Ding-dong! Player successfully absorbs dark particles. Dark-type skill experience +1. In just a breaths time, he had successfully absorbed over a hundred dark particles as if they were free. After he absorbed them, these elemental particles turned into special elemental experience points and became a pile of data. Similarly, when he absorbed these dark particles, Carusos mental state also underwent a huge change. If it was said that the absorption of fire elemental particles would make him feel scorching heat. The absorption of water elemental particles would make him feel moist. If the absorption of ice elemental particles would make him feel cold Then, when he absorbed the darkness elemental particles, he felt a wave of emptiness and helplessness. This feeling was as if he had received a huge blow, causing him to lose all hope and everything in his life. Emptiness! Fear! Sadness! Fear! Madness! Excitement! Negative emotions erupted one after another as the particles grew. At this moment, Caruso was sitting on a rock in the forest. He would occasionally laugh and, after a while, he would cover his face and cry. His entire body would tremble and, at other times, he would let out a roar and fight with the uncle in front of him. And all of this, he did not know. All of this was due to the fluctuations in his spiritual world, which caused his body to emit a series of reactions. However, just as his state of mind reached its limit of pessimism and despair. Suddenly, in the depths of the darkness, he saw a ray of light. The light was not strong, but it smiled like a firefly. However, it was this ray of light that smiled like a firefly it actually became his life-saving straw. In an instant, it was like a clear spring of magic that rushed from the soles of his feet all the way to his mess. In an instant, he woke up. No! This is not me! This is not the real me! But because of extreme fear, the moment he woke up, he began to talk to himself. Just now, he felt that he had gone crazy in the outside world, which was why he was so excited when he woke up. One had to know that in the real world, he was completely different from the current him. Is this the reason why it is forbidden to practice dark magic? A few seconds later, in the mind of Caruso, who was gradually coming back to his senses, he continued to ask. Wait, when my project was absorbing it, I clearly felt an indescribable warmth. And what was that light spot? However, when he was guessing the reason for the dark magics restriction, he suddenly remembered the light spot that was like a life-saving straw when he was almost swallowed by the darkness. How could such a strange light spot appear in the spiritual domain that was swallowed by darkness? This doesnt make sense at all! After many thoughts, a system notification sounded. Ding-dong! Player has obtained 17,413 experience points for dark elemental skills! Ding-dong! Since the host has not learned any dark elemental skills, the experience points can not be used. After receiving this message, Caruso did not bother with it. Instead, he focused on his previous question. Why did light appear in the darkness? What was the reason for all of this? This question was like a fishbone in his throat. If he did not understand it, he would not be able to swallow it. Thats not right. There must be something I overlooked! After a long time, Caruso was unable to clear his doubts. Under such circumstances, he shook his head and looked at the darker area in the distance. His hands were tightly clenched together. He wanted to break this mystery. With this thought in mind, he quickly entered the depths of the Dark Forest. Ding-dong! A large amount of dark magic elemental particles have been discovered here. Do you wish to enter a meditative state? After walking into the Dark Forest for less than five minutesas the surrounding dark rooms became denserthe systems notification sounded. Hearing the systems notification, Caruso did not waste any time. He sat down cross-legged again and began to meditate. After entering the meditative state in an instant, Caruso felt that this time in his meditation world, it was unexpectedly cold. The surrounding was no longer the appearance of general elemental particles, but as if there were pairs of eyes staring at him. Fear, panic, emptiness, fear, all kinds of negative emotions once again attached themselves to his body. Theres definitely something wrong with this! After these emotions surged into his heart, Caruso immediately gritted his teeth and insisted. He knew that what he was doing was extremely dangerous, but as long as he could get past this hurdle, his benefits would be a huge surprise. Its coming, its coming! An hour later, after experiencing another bout of extreme fear, just as he couldnt hold on any longer Suddenly, the same spot of light appeared. Chapter 15 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL The spot of light was slightly bigger than the last time, but it disappeared almost in the next second. He returned to reality. When he returned to the display, he found that the grass and trees around him had been destroyed by a violent force. The originally majestic trees were now covered in scratches and destruction. Seeing this situation, Caruso did not need to think too much. He knew that this was probably what had happened when he had entered meditation and absorbed the dark element particles. That light spot Caruso did not care about what had happened in front of him. At this moment, he was like a fool. His entire person was thinking about that light spot. After thinking for half an hour, his determined gaze looked further into the forest. If the outermost black room was only gray when Caruso first came to the Dark Forest, then the inside was already dark. It was like the color of charcoal. He couldnt see his palm when he stretched out his hand. Similarly, when he entered, the black fog outside had all disappeared. Seeing this situation, Caruso guessed that this so-called black fog should be the form of a large number of elemental particles gathered together. Ding-dong! Powerful dark elemental particles detected. Host, please be careful! Just as Caruso was deep in thought and moving, a system notification suddenly made him stop moving forward. From the first discovery of dark elemental particles to the large number just now, and now his caution. All these changes forced him to be more cautious. Upon hearing this, Caruso had two choices at this moment. First, continue to advance, and then meditate. Second, leave! And regardless of whether there were any, how could the current Caruso give up this opportunity? Since he could absorb elemental particles, then he was not afraid of this place. Thinking of this, Caruso moved forward another hundred meters. After moving a hundred meters, he estimated that this should be the deepest part. For this, he quickly sat down cross-legged and continued to meditate. The endless darkness engulfed his entire spiritual world. It was as if there were a million pairs of eyes staring at him. It gave him the feeling that he was a plate of delicacies for everyone, while the other party was a starving ghost that had been starving for countless years. This feeling made him feel more and more terrified compared to before. Ah! A few seconds later, Caruso stood up with goosebumps. His eyes turned white as he roared angrily in the forest. After roaring angrily, he suddenly stood up. Thats right! He stood up directly and walked towards a certain place in the forest. His entire body was like a senseless corpse. Similarly, his meditation had long been interrupted by his actions. Meanwhile, his mind had completely fallen into a deep sleep. Where am I? After an unknown amount of time, when Caruso woke up slightly, he looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, causing him to be unable to distinguish whether this was the real world or the spiritual world. Ha, little brat, what are you doing here all by yourself? At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly appeared in the darkness. The owner of the voice was nowhere to be found, and the voice seemed to be coming from all directions. Who are you? Caruso immediately shouted at the sudden voice, as if he wanted to reduce his fear by shouting. Who am I? Heh, brat, you came to my house and asked me who I am? The old voice immediately sneered after hearing Carusos words and then replied. Perhaps it was because he felt that the other party did not make a move, Carusos courage also increased. He immediately opened his mouth to retort, I came to your house? Your house is so poor? You dont even have an oil lamp? Ha, you little brat, its not that I dont light the lamp but Im afraid that if I light the lamp, it will scare you. The old voice saw the other partys teasing words and immediately felt that it was interesting. He then slowly opened his mouth to speak. Are you afraid that your family is too poor and Ill laugh at you? Seeing that the other party was still putting on an act, Carusos temper also flared up. He began to fight head-on. Oh, then Ill light the lamp. The voice in the darkness replied thoughtfully after Caruso finished speaking. After answering, suddenly, the sound of a match burning came from behind Caruso. Immediately after, a dim yellow flame lit up all around. After the flame lit up, Caruso immediately saw a white-bearded old man wearing a white magic robe. This person was like the grand mage in the Lord of the Rings when it came to power level. The first impression that he gave people was that he was kind. But in the next second, Carusos pupils suddenly shrank! He saw. Under the old mans feet. To be precise, the entire cave was filled with skeletons. Furthermore, the old man in front of him did not have legs. His lower body was covered in smoke and dust. He was like a ghost in a TV series. If one were to look at him at such a close distance, ones vision would explode! How could Caruso not be surprised when he saw this! I told you, you will be afraid after lighting the lamp! The old man smiled when he saw Carusos expression. I I I will be afraid? Perhaps it was because the old mans voice gave off an indescribable warmth, but after he finished speaking, Carusos fear slowly dissipated. Very quickly, he started to look around. This place was like a cave. There was a table placed inside. On the table, there was a pile of unknown things. The interior of the cave was filled with strange stones. Occasionally, an indescribable liquid would drip down from above and fall on the ground, not long after, there would be a slight sizzling sound, corroding some ancient skeletons. Where is this place? And who are you? After sizing up the place, Caruso could not help but ask about the identity of this weird old man. Who am I? Hmm I think, my name is Stantumon Bard This is my home, the weird old man said as if he was recalling something. Bard? Home? After Bard finished explaining, Caruso frowned and subconsciously started talking to himself. He did not know that the man in front of him was a dark mage who was being hunted by the entire Temple of Light. He also did not know that this man had once massacred a citys people alone. He also did not know that the bones under his feet were all of a huge background. The lowest among them was a bishop-level clergyman. As if he was dissatisfied with Carusos muttering, Bard pointed at him and corrected him, Well, to be precise, its Stantumon Bard. The quest I received just now was Bards Revenge, and the man in front of me is Bard? Could it be that Im looking for him to accept the quest? Caruso did not care about the correction. At this moment, he began to think and analyze on his own. Long ago, he had triggered such a storyline quest, and this story quest was Bards Revenge. At first, he didnt know how this mission was going to be carried out but now he saw this person who called himself Bard. Oh no, it was a ghost. He slowly guessed something. Mr. Bard, do you have something important to hand over to me? A few seconds later, Caruso saw that the other party was busy fiddling with the bottles and jars on the table. Chapter 16 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL In order to leave this place as soon as possible, he could not help but break the silence. When Bard heard this, he slightly turned his gaze on him, and then he lifted the old round eye frame in front of his eyes. Ignoring the nick in the left lens, he earnestly and truly made an effort to look at Caruso. After a long while, he slowly turned around and continued to fiddle with the bottles in front of him. Then, in the midst of his anticipation, his voice gradually sounded, Seeing that you have dark magic elements in your body, I dont think youre that group of people. You and I are the same kind, so I wont kill you. Get lost once youve recovered. What the f*ck? Under Bards taunt, Caruso was stunned. A Necromancers Will told him that he was too weak and couldnt accept the mission for the time being, so he endured it. Now, a spirit who called himself Bard looked down on him, and he simply couldnt endure it anymore. Of course, he didnt know what level this Bard was at. If he knew, he might have left right away. When Bard was killed, it was thirty years ago. He was a ten-star grand archmagus with half a foot in the saint archmaguss realm. In particular, the magic element he cultivated was dark magic. If a normal saint archmagus fought him one-on-one, Bard would be able to teach him what fear was in less than ten minutes. The ignorant and fearless Caruso did not think so much, he immediately stood up and said, Mr. Bard, I know you dont think much of my current strength but there is a saying that goes, dont bully a poor youth because you dont know what will happen to him in the future. Therefore, you have to apologize to me or I will never leave this place! After saying that, Caruso immediately looked straight at him without any fear. Im sorry, youre a great mage. However, in the face of Carusos words, Bard only glanced at him and then said perfunctorily. This sudden strange style completely stunned Caruso. According to logic, shouldnt the script be for the other party to get angry and attack, only to discover his super talent during the fight? After discovering his super talent, the other party would kneel down and beg him to be his disciple? What now? WTF? Caruso didnt understand. He really didnt understand this person called Bard. At least from his stance, this Bard was a decent person when he was alive. Why did he apologize immediately after he said something? Caruso was speechless about this but, no matter how speechless he was, there was nothing he could do. Forget it. Forget it. Lets just absorb a wave of dark elemental particles here and leave! The haggard Caruso shrugged his shoulders in the face of such an awkward situation. Then, he casually kicked some of the bones under his feet to the side. Soon after, he cleared a spot and immediately sat down cross-legged to meditate. He found that the dark magic death particles around him were extremely dense, at least ten times more than the ones he saw when he first came in. After experiencing the upgrade of the fireball spell, he naturally knew the importance of skill experience points. Moreover, these were special elemental particles. When he learned dark magic in the future, he would also be prepared. Unlike the fireball spell, he would not only have a few skill experience points. For this, he quickly sat down cross-legged and instantly entered a meditative state. But after entering a meditative state this time, Caruso did not know that this was his first time in this world where he was in danger. A mere apprentice mage dares to condense dark elemental particles here. Young people nowadays. Bard saw that Caruso sat down cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state. He could not help but shake his head and mutter. Dark Forest. Perhaps to the people outside. This place became like this because of Bard. And also because of Bard, this place was very famous. But as a half-step dark magus, Bard could not simply find a place to settle down. Thirty years ago, Bard once dealt with the powerhouses of the Temple of Light in countless places. During that time, he had crossed countless territories. Which place was not easy to stay in? Did he have to stay here? There was a reason for all of this. While Bard was fleeing and killing the light envoys of the Temple of Light, he suddenly discovered the Dark Forest. After coming to the Dark Forest, he felt that there was a powerful force attracting him here. For this, he deliberately caused a world-shaking battle with the other party. Then, using the forbidden spell, he faked his death and hid in this place. Did he release some small things to let others think that he was completely dead? And the reason why there was a large amount of magic here was because of the curse he left behind. But anyone with a strong cultivation state knew. A real curse to the experts of the Temple of Light was simply a weak thing that could be dispersed with a single breath. The other party would casually take out a holy artifact of light to shine on it, and the curse broke without being attacked. This was a shocking scam. A scam that Bard had meticulously planned. The reason why he had stayed here for thirty years was to explore the true mystery of this place. After faking his death, he spent five years before finally finding the secret of this place. And this ultimate secret was that this place was actually related to the God of Darkness. This was undoubtedly a piece of shocking news to Bard, who cultivated dark magic. Who was the God of Darkness? The most powerful god among the ancient gods. But here, there was actually a trace left behind by the other party. Why did Bard not continue to hide here and cultivate? Anyway, he had already avenged some of his grudges, and he had enjoyed all the things that he should have enjoyed over the years. Women, territory, wealth, reputationwhich one hadnt he had? Even a magical beast that was a ninth-level half-saint acknowledged him as its master. What could be more exaggerated than this? However, everything went against his expectations. After discovering that this place seemed to be related to the God of Darkness, he had not discovered the secret of this place for a full 25 years. All he knew was that there were too many dark elemental particles here. He had absorbed many particles for a full 30 years, but he had only absorbed one-tenth of the total capacity. There were one or two reasons why he had absorbed so little. First, there were too many dark magic elemental particles here, as if they were endless. Every time he absorbed them, many more would appear out of thin air. Second, every time he absorbed them for less than an hour, he would leave immediately. The reason was very simple. Once he absorbed for more than an hour, his spiritual world would not be able to withstand the elemental particles inside. Even though he had experienced countless things, he would still feel an indescribable fear and emptiness. Under the two reasons, Bard would naturally say these words when he saw Caruso sitting cross-legged and meditating. Thirty minutes passed and Caruso, who was meditating, suddenly stood up. After he stood up, his eyes were lifeless, as if he was a walking corpse. He looked left and right. Seeing Caruso like this, Bard put down what he was doing and looked at the little boy with interest. Chapter 17 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL After all, for the past 30 years, he had experienced everything by himself. He had never seen anyone experience the same thing as him. Thats right. Every day for the past 30 years, if Bard meditated for more than an hour, he would enter the same state as Caruso. After entering the same state, Bard would immediately withdraw because he always felt that he was going to die in the next second. At this moment, Caruso was the same as Bard. He felt that he would be devoured by the endless darkness and die immediately if he were to pass by. However, Caruso, who did not know anything about dark magic, could persist until the end every time. Unlike Bard, he did not withdraw at the most critical moment. Because of this, Caruso could see the last light spot. Ah! Ill kill you! Hahaha! Dont come over! Ahh! Wahhhh! After more than ten minutes, Caruso suddenly went crazy. Sometimes he cried. Sometimes he wailed. Sometimes he shouted. Sometimes he was excited. Sometimes he shrank his body and shivered. His eyes were filled with fear. What is the end of Darkness? I dont know. I dont know, I dont know! After he went crazy, he suddenly seemed to be possessed. He stood in the distance as if he was answering a question. When he heard this, Bard suddenly frowned and stared at Caruso very carefully. What he didnt know was that At the moment when Caruso was about to be swallowed by the darkness, he suddenly saw a light spot. The dot of light was countless times larger than before. It was like the entrance to a new world, causing him to be stunned. At the same time, a gentle voice came from the entrance of the screen of light. The voice was a strange question, and the question was what Caruso had been mumbling. What is the end of the darkness? This question kept questioning Caruso. He could only feel confused. As time passed, the dot of light also began to shrink. The surrounding darkness, after the dot of light receded, surged like a tidal wave. It was as if it was about to devour Caruso in the next moment. What Caruso didnt know was that this huge crisis contained an incomparably huge opportunity. However, he had to see if he could persevere through it. If Carusos answer didnt satisfy the God of Darkness, then he wouldnt be able to obtain the God of Darknesss inheritance, and he would also be engulfed in endless darkness. Whats at the end of the darkness? The light dots became smaller and smaller, and a voice came from within again. It was the same question. This question touched Carusos confused state of mind. When Caruso woke up, he found that the surrounding darkness was no longer the same energy as before, but a deep crisis. Realizing the danger, Caruso immediately became alert. He stared at the light that was shrinking. What is the end of the darkness? What is the end of the darkness? What is the end of the darkness? Caruso kept questioning himself as if he was possessed. But at this moment, Carusos mind was spinning rapidly. He was extremely clear-headed. Bard, who was outside, heard Carusos muttering. He was also in deep thought. Although he did not know what was happening in this kids mind, it was clear that he had entered a mysterious world. Especially when he could clearly feel that Caruso seemed to be dying, his life force constantly draining away. He could not help but conclude that Caruso must have encountered a special situation. What is the end of the darkness? What is the end of the darkness? Killing, revenge, or destruction? Bard, who was half a step away from the dark saint, had a deeper understanding of the darkness, so he quickly gave these answers. However, he denied it just as he said it. If the true essence of darkness was these negative things, then wasnt darkness inherently evil? However, if it wasnt those things, then what would be the end of darkness? Bard also fell into deep thought, as if he was bewitched. He hit his head, gritted his teeth, and his violent aura soared crazily. The end of darkness! The end of darkness! The end of darkness is light! No! The end of darkness is dawn! And the end of light is also darkness! Just like the good and evil in a persons heart, everyone has another self in their heart. When one knows that one will not receive any punishment for committing evil, everyone is evil! When there is a bottom line of principles and morality in ones heart, then that person is good! Good and evil are separated by a single thought, just like light and darkness coexist together. At dawn, darkness still grows wantonly in the corner, and when darkness falls, light also rises slowly in many places! So, the end of darkness is dawn! In the sea of consciousness. Time had passed. As the specks of light became smaller and smaller, Caruso was about to be swallowed by the darkness. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. He smoothly said his answer and directly said the true meaning of darkness. When Bard heard Carusos answer in the real world, he seemed to have an epiphany in an instant. His expression fell into a daze as he looked at Caruso. He kept mumbling and repeating Carusos answer. The end of darkness is dawn? After saying that, he seemed to have gone crazy and started to dance. The end of darkness is dawn! The end of darkness is dawn! The end of darkness is dawn! Bard was acting very crazily as if a child had received a favorite toy. He was extremely excited. The end of darkness is dawn? Hehehehe. Come, take my inheritance and tell the world what darkness is! In Carusos spiritual world, he finished his answer. The light spot that was about to disappear stopped changing. An ancient and distant voice came from within. As the voice fell, the light spot suddenly became bigger and swept away all the darkness in the spiritual world. Caruso did not know who the owner of the voice was but, when he saw the pitch-black world around him become very bright, he immediately nodded and stepped into the light. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden storyline [Dark Gods Test]! Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Dark Gods recognition. Successfully received [Hidden Class C Child of Darkness]. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Dark Gods inheritance. Reward [God-level Physique C Heart of Darkness]. After walking into the dawn. The systems voice sounded. After pausing for a few seconds, the system started the world announcement again. [World Announcement: Congratulations to Player Caruso for completing the ancient God of Darknesss storyline quest and obtaining the Dark Gods recognition. He has become the new generations Child of Darkness.] [World Announcement: Congratulations to Player Caruso for completing the ancient God of Darknesss storyline quest and obtaining the Dark Gods recognition. He has become the new generations Child of Darkness.] The two system world announcements ended. Carusos vision went black. He woke up and returned to the cave. He subconsciously looked around and realized that Bard, the old ghost, was actually looking at him with a strange gaze filled with desire. Thinking of how Bard had stayed in this broken cave for so long and had never touched a woman, Carusos expression gradually became strange. Kid, whats with your expression? Seeing Carusos face full of disdain, Bard couldnt help but ridicule. Chapter 18 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL In this world. When a person has value and potential, no matter how powerful the other party is, they will still put down their attitude and curry favor with you. For example, Caruso and Bard. Bard had been a ten-star grand archmagus of the dark element for more than thirty years. Among the hundred billion people in the Yass Empire, there were no more than a hundred mages who had such a realm. Even such a powerful person was trying to curry favor with Caruso. Young Master Caruso! Bard squeezed out an ugly smile on his old face and suppressed the helpless emotions in his heart. He bowed slightly and said. When he finished speaking, Caruso could not help but be stunned. This guy was so arrogant before and ignored him. Why did his attitude suddenly change? Soon, he remembered the rewards he had received before. He had received two rewards. One was the heart of darkness, and the other was the title of Child of Darkness. Two rewards, one was the beating black heart, which was still beating in his backpack. The other reward of Child of Darkness was similar to a job-changing book. After seeing these two items, he thought of Bards abnormal behavior. Caruso didnt waste any more time and stared at the two items. Soon, two notifications sounded. Ding-dong! Player, do you want to change class to [Child of Darkness]? Yes! Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for successfully changing class! Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for becoming a Child of Darkness and obtaining [Talent C Ruler of the Night ] Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for becoming the Child of Darkness and obtaining the [Skill C Envelopment of the Night]. Ding-dong. Do you wish to use the Heart of Darkness? Yes! Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for successfully using the Heart of Darkness! Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for inheriting the [Physique Inheritance C God of Darkness]. [Ruler of the Night] Type: Talent Skill Effect: In the dark of the night, dark magic damage increases by 50%. [Envelopment of the Night] Level: LVL 1 Type: Active Skill Effect: Change the sky of the day, entering the dark state of night within a certain range after casting. [Dark Gods Body] Level: LVL 1 Effect: 50% immunity to dark magic damage. Effect: Increases dark magic damage by 50%. Effect: Unknown Effect: Unknown Effect: Unknown After using it, Caruso suddenly obtained an extremely powerful dark magic, an innate skill, and a god-tier constitution. Especially after receiving the inheritance. He discovered to his surprise that other than the fact that his innate skill could not be upgraded, the other two skills had levels. Having levels meant that they could be upgraded. However, it required a large amount of skill experience. In the dark of the night, dark magic increases damage by 50% and dark god body increases damage by 50%. This is equivalent to directly increasing the total damage by 100%. Interesting! A few seconds later, after seeing all the information about the rewards he had obtained, Caruso could not help but mutter to himself in his mind. While he was muttering to himself, Bard came up to him again, Young Master Caruso! Regarding this times voice. Caruso didnt ignore it. He looked in Bards direction. Whether it was his tone or his posture, they all changed. Sometimes, there were some things that couldnt be explained clearly. Clearly, before this, Caruso was still clinging on to him, wanting to get the mission. Now, it was the other party clinging on to him. Even though he did not know what the other party was up to. Mr. Bard, whats wrong? Even though Caruso knew that he might have obtained something very powerful. However, he did not have the ability to protect himself now, especially since Caruso did not know the strength of this Bards background. No, no, no! Young Master Caruso, you can just call me old slave! Carusos politeness made Bard panic as if he was afraid of something. He waved his hands repeatedly. As for why Bard had become like this. Actually, the reason was very simple. It was because the current Caruso was already the Child of Darkness. What was the Child of Darkness? It was the heir of the God of Darkness, the messenger who would lead the dark mages to glory in the future. In this world, the hierarchy was very strict. It was like a farmer nodding and smiling when he saw a rich man. A rich man nodding and smiling when he saw a noble. A noble nodding and smiling when he saw a royal. A royal nodding and smiling when he saw a powerful mage. And a powerful mage nodding and smiling when he saw a god. This hierarchy was deeply rooted in everyones bones and souls. No matter how old the other party was or how strong the other party was, as long as the other party had a powerful identity, they would have to put down their dignity. Caruso was now the successor of a god and he was also the Child of Darkness. Bard trained in dark magic and, among all the gods, he respected the God of Darkness the most. Facing the current Caruso, he had to lower his head. It was just that Caruso did not know about this. Mr. Bard, I see that you are frowning. As if you have something on your mind? As Bards attitude changed, Caruso also endured that time with the villagers, so he was slightly indifferent to this kind of thing. This was the rule of this world. He did not need to be entangled in this complicated etiquette. Therefore, he went straight to the point and wanted to obtain a quest. One had to know that the main reason he came here was to obtain Bards quest. Moreover, after witnessing Carusos transformation, Bards face fell decisively. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but, in the end, he did not say it. Chapter 19 Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Honorable Young Master Caruso, there is indeed something that I have been unable to let go of but A few minutes later, Bard gradually opened his mouth. He spoke softly, enunciating every word. But, in the end, he fell silent again. Seeing this, it was not difficult for Caruso to guess that the other party must have something difficult to say. Obviously, the other party was too weak. Even if he said the quest, it would be difficult for him to complete it. Mr. Bard, I know that my current strength is weak but I believe that nothing can be difficult for me. Why not give it a try? In order to get the mission, Caruso did not care about his identity and hurriedly said. He wanted to use this to reassure Bard. No, no, no, Young Master Caruso, thats not what I meant. Im mainly worried that your precious body will be hurt. If youre not the Child of Darkness, there might still be a chance, but youre the Child of Darkness now. As long as you release your skills, the people of the Temple of Light will definitely recognize your magic elements. At that time, dont even talk about going in to get that thing, just walking to the door will be burned by the holy light. Hearing Carusos words, Bard immediately started to explain. After he finished, he shook his head and started to explain. After he explained clearly, Caruso also understood a little. It seemed that the other party felt that his own innate magic element was darkness-type magic. Since ancient times, light and darkness were opposites. From the explanation, it was not difficult to hear that the other partys mission was to go to the Temple of Light. As a base for light mages, there was definitely something to detect the dark elements. Therefore, he was worried that he would be captured before he could really reach a place. Mr. Bard, is that what youre worried about? After analyzing the other partys unspeakable secret, Caruso immediately stretched out a hand, followed by a ball of bright flame that swam on his palm. The flame lit up the entire cave like holy fire, shining brightly. This this Youre a dual-element mage? You as expected as expected the person chosen by the God of Darkness can not be a mediocre person. This is too good, this is too good! Seeing the ball of flame in Carusos palm, as well as feeling the intense fluctuations of the fire element, Bard became excited. Previously, he was worried about this. But now, since Caruso was a dual-element mage, then everything was easy to talk about. Moreover, he found that when Caruso used fire element magic, the dark element disappeared completely, as if the other party was a fire element mage. Seeing the other party so excited, Caruso didnt waste time and said, Then, Mr. Bard? Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso. I, Stantumon Bard, beg you to help me take back the Magic Cup! Ding-dong. Player has received the first part of [Bards Revenge] Quest. Do you want to take back the Magic Cup? Yes! Along with Bards excited anticipation, the system notification gradually sounded. After it sounded, Caruso did not pay attention to the information of the quest and immediately replied. After accepting the quest, Bard also started to talk to himself. Young Master Caruso, forty years ago, I was not a mage who practiced dark magic. I even said that I hated dark magic more than anyone else. All of this was my education. It made me feel that dark magic was the evilest bastard types in the world. However, when I was twenty-three years old When I participated in the assessment of the temple, my wife, whom I loved the most She She was suffering from a serious illness. In order to take care of her, I gave up the opportunity to go to the temple. Then, I began to search for countless methods that could save my wife. As I searched, I accidentally awakened the dark magic in my body. I swear to god that I learned dark magic and understood everything about the dark magic because someone told me that the solution to my wifes serious illness could only be saved by a dark potion! But but but When I developed this drug, my wife was already dead! When she died, I chose to commit suicide, wanting to leave this world with my wife! But! But! But! Just as I was about to die, I suddenly received news! My wifes illness was not sudden, but man-made! This is a rare curse, its the curse of the evil mage! When I learned about this, I began to follow the clues to find the answer. In the end, I found out all of this was because of the qualification to go to the temple for the assessment! For this qualification, that person did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. I dont know where he hired an evil mage to cast this curse. When I found out about this, that person had already become a genius in the temple. He was extremely powerful. Later, in order to take revenge, I chose to join the ranks of dark mages. Through various experiments and various tests, not being afraid of life and death, I became a ten-star darkness grand archmagus thirty years ago. I thought that I could take revenge, but the other partys talent is far beyond my reach. But every time Im ready to give up, the face of my wifes tragic death will appear in front of me, indicating that I cant die like this. I want revenge. I want revenge! I want to kill him! I want to expose his true face to the sun! Chapter 20 And according to my inquiries, there is a dark magic artifact in the Temple of Light, called the Magic Cup. As long as you obtain the Magic Cup and find the secret inside, you can become a saint-level magus. Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso! I beg you, help me find the Magic Cup, let me obtain power, and take revenge personally! After more than ten minutes, Bard spoke each word of the matter. When he spoke of these things, when his wife was mentioned, his expression would be gentle. When he mentioned his wifes illness, his hands trembled slightly, and his tone was extremely choked. When he spoke of his enemy, he seemed to have gone crazy, wishing that he could skin him alive on the spot and eat his flesh and drink his blood. Finally, when he mentioned the Magic Cup, it was as if he saw hope. He was excited, thrilled, and his breathing was rapid. His eyes were still shining. After listening to Bards words. Although Caruso felt that the plot was very melodramatic, he was still infected by the other partys emotions. At this moment, he could not help but think of the problem of the God of Darkness. The end of darkness was dawn. Where there was darkness, there would be light. And where there was light, there would be darkness. That kind of wretched person who harmed others in the dark could stand under the sun and become a hero that everyone respected. And the victims who worked hard and diligently could only be hated and cursed by the people of the world. Thinking of this, Carusos eyes that looked at him with eagerness became a little sympathetic. Mr. Bard, where do you keep the Magic Cup? When Bard calmed down a little, Caruso couldnt help but ask. Perhaps because he had experienced grief too many times, Bard quickly composed himself and replied, I dont know where the Magic Cup is, but I know that the Magic Cup and the Holy Grail are usually placed together. After listening to Bards words, Caruso could not help but feel distressed. He did not even know the exact location. This was simply raising the difficulty of a simple mission to hell. However, when he thought of such a big quest, the rewards would definitely be a lot, so he felt a little relieved. However, very soon, Carusos attention was immediately on Bard. Although he had received the mission, the Temple of Light was an extremely powerful force. If he wanted to go to the Temple of Light, it would be no different from seeking death, this was not a joke. With his current strength, the risk of death was almost 100%. Therefore, he had to think of a way to increase the success rate. Mr. Bard, I have a small request! Bard did not know what Caruso was thinking but he quickly answered, Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso, what is your request? Ahem, look at me. Not only am I penniless, but I also dont even know any decent skills. The only skill Ive learned is the most basic fireball spell. With this strength, Im not afraid of you laughing at me. If I go, Ill be sending myself to my death. Whether or not I can walk out of this mountain range is a big problem, so Ahem Yes, the Bard in front of him was a ten-star archmagus of the dark element. He was much more powerful than the instructors in the elementary magic academies in the cities. He was a man standing at the top of the pyramid. If he didnt come to learn from such a powerful person, who else could he find to learn dark magic from? Its my fault. Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso! Bard immediately began to think after hearing Carusos words. He suddenly felt that it was indeed the case. Uh, Mr. Bard, its better for you not to call me the Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso so often. You can just call me Caruso! After saying that, Bard hurriedly shook his head, meaning that it was impossible for him to agree. Regarding this, Caruso said on the spot, Then you can just call me Young Master Caruso. Not to mention the Child of Darkness, do you really want others to know that I have received the inheritance of the God of Darkness? And then, the righteous people of the world will kill me? After saying that, his words immediately had an effect. Bard hurriedly nodded in agreement. I was presumptuous. Im sorry, Young Master Caruso! Seeing that Bard had changed his words, Caruso also felt a little more comfortable listening to it. After all, calling him the Child of Darkness was really unbearable. Bard changed the topic, he slowly said, Dark magic itself is an emergency. Once Young Master Caruso leaves this place, it will be very difficult for him to learn dark magic. However, your realm is too low, so I can only teach you some simple elementary dark magic. If your realm improves in the future, I can teach you other things at any time. Sure. Caruso was well aware of the principle of biting off more than you can chew. At most, his current strength was very low. Even if he really taught him some powerful forbidden magic, he might not be able to learn it, so he immediately agreed. Thats good, Young Master Caruso. Ill teach you dark magic now. Bard nodded in agreement. After the exchange, Bard began to officially teach the skill. If other mages came here, they would have to rely on their own understanding if they wanted to learn dark magic. But Caruso was an exception. He was not a person from this world, but a standard player. Therefore, when Bard finished explaining the characteristics of each skill and used it to teach, hints would appear in Carusos mind. Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Curse]. Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Blind Spell] Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Dark Arrow] Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Dark Contract] Chapter 21 He had obtained four skills consecutively, all of which were tier 1 darkness-type skills. After comprehending these skills, Carusos safety was further guaranteed. After learning them, Caruso immediately checked the attributes of the skills. [Curse] Type: Dark Magic Level: LVL 1(Basic Level 1 Magic) Cost: 100 MP Experience: 1/2000 Description: Reduces all attributes of the enemy and reduces the magic resistance of the enemy. [Blind] Type: Dark Magic Level: LV1(Basic Level 1 Magic) Cost: 100 MP Experience: 1/2000 Description: Causes the enemy to be blinded for three seconds. [Dark Arrow] Type: Dark Magic Level: LVL 1(Basic Tier 1 Magic) Cost: 100 MP Experience: 1/2000 Description: Condensing the power of darkness, materializes an arrow imbued with the power of darkness, dealing a certain amount of damage to the enemy. [Dark Contract] Type: Dark Magic Level: LVL 1(Basic Magic) Cost: 1000 MP Experience: 1/100,000 Description: Contract skill. Allows the signatory to be restrained by the contract. The information of the four skills were displayed in front of Caruso. Among them, dark arrow was an attack skill. Curse and the blind spell were attribute skills. Only the dark contract had some differences from the other skills, which were exclusive skills. The dark contract could be seen from its name, which was to use a contract to establish a connection with the other party and, ultimately, achieve the goal of control. Similarly, the dark contract was an extremely powerful skill. This spell displayed a basic magic. Moreover, it required 100,000 experience points to level up. How terrifying was this skill? When Caruso finally finished learning these skills, the systems voice rang out. Ding-dong! As a result of the player becoming the first player to learn dark magic, the exclusive reward [Talent C Dark Mastery] has been obtained. Yes, within the Magic World. As the first player, Caruso had an exclusive first reward for everything he did. If he entered the game together with other players around the world, no matter how lucky Caruso was, he would not be able to surpass tens of billions of players to obtain all the first rewards. The rewards for logging in early were simply too powerful. The attributes of dark magic mastery and fire magic mastery were about the same. The main thing was that the effects of the dark magic skills increased by 20%. In other words, as long as he was in the dark, his dark magic skills would increase by 120%. When he thought of this, his scalp went numb. What was the concept of 120%? He might not be able to see much from basic skills but, when it came to advanced spells, it would be terrifying. For example, he could cast a forbidden spell. It would encompass multiple enemies but it would consume the energy of a single skill. When he encountered a strong enemy, all he had to do was to cast a spell on the spot, and the enemy would GG[1]. Beep beep! Detected that someone is moving the host. Host, please return to reality. The game will be saved! At this moment, the systems voice suddenly sounded. After it sounded, his vision went dark. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a stretcher. Two people in white coats stood in front and behind him. The corridor of the dormitory was filled with people. Sigh, he died suddenly at such a young age! Yeah, cant he masturbate less? Have you heard? The doctor said that he might be too excited and become a living dead person. F*ck, could it be that the Royal Casino of England is online? I think it should be! Opening his confused eyes slightly, Carusos ears were filled with gossip. When he heard these words, he was completely dumbfounded. What do you mean by masturbating that caused him to go into shock due to excessive excitement? Who the f*ck is spreading rumors! Do you still want to live! After cursing in his heart, Caruso immediately stood up slowly from the stretcher. It was still fine if he didnt get up but the doctor was scared out of his wits. F*ck! F*ck, is he a zombie? After two consecutive sounds of fear rang out, the surrounding students began to shout loudly. Hes a zombie! F*ck! Run. Run! Faced with the shouts, Caruso immediately shouted, Turn into zombie, my ass! I was just unconscious! After saying that, he stood up and twisted his neck. People saw that Caruso was not as terrifying as the legendary ghoul and that he was speaking human language. There was nothing strange about him. Everyone gradually began to believe that this fellow was not a ghost. What a heartless doctor! He was in a deep sleep and he actually said that he was in shock? Doctors nowadays arent reliable! F*ck, hes so indifferent to life in order to earn money! What a bullsh*t doctor! After the students of the school found out that Caruso wasnt dead, they immediately realized that the doctor was definitely lying. For a moment, they all pointed the blame at the doctor. After all, this group of doctors had just personally announced that Carusos eyes were brain-dead. Now that he was alive and kicking, wasnt he a quack? How many people would die if this continued on? Whats going on? Because of the sudden noise from behind, the doctor who had already walked far ahead walked back with a little anger on his face. The next second, when he saw the dead student actually stand up, he was stunned. F*ck, why why are you up? At that time, he had personally tested that this student was indeed completely brain dead! [1] Good Game. What is usually said after a match in online games. Chapter 22 He had been a doctor for decades. How could he make such a mistake? Moreover, the technology was much more advanced than before. His judgment was definitely based on science. If all the data were to be published on the academic forum those experts would definitely agree that the student was dead. Therefore, when he saw that Caruso was actually alive and well, his shock was no less than anyone elses. Its you, you quack! I was lying on the bed and overslept, and youre saying that Im brain dead? Youre not taking human lives seriously. Youre irresponsible! Which hospital are you guys from? Im going to the media to expose you! Originally, Caruso was having fun in the magic world but, now, he was interrupted by such nonsense. How could Caruso still be happy? And the price of being unhappy was that he was prepared to cause trouble for this hospital. I Im sorry, Im sorry. Maybe the equipment is broken. I apologize to you. I apologize to you. The Doctor was originally a little arrogant but, when he saw that he had made a mistake in his judgment, he didnt dare to say too much. After all, if this kind of thing were to be spread, he would definitely become a joke in the entire medical world. It would definitely be a black mark in his career. He couldnt help but start to panic, so he immediately bent down and apologized. When he was apologizing, he secretly pulled Caruso aside and directly took out a stack of dollars from his wallet, and handed it to Caruso. The meaning was very clear. This matter itself wasnt their fault. In addition, their attitude wasnt bad, so Caruso couldnt be bothered with it. After making a few complaints, he turned around and left with the money. After he left, the doctor immediately walked to the corridor, and the group of people left in a sorry state. When the matter was over, Caruso immediately left the school. Then, he went to a hotel near the school. After he entered, he locked the door tightly and stood in the room, breathing rapidly. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Caruso licked his dry lips. Then, he slowly calmed his heart and began to adjust the magic power in his body. Bang! With the sound of a clear roar, a huge ball of flame suddenly appeared in Carusos hand. The flame burned fiercely, making it seem as if it was a dream that was not real. It seems that the system did not lie to me! When he saw that he could use magic in the city, Caruso was completely relieved. He was afraid that the things he obtained in the magic world could not be brought to the real world! After experimenting for more than ten minutes, Caruso cast a total of four spells. One fireball spell. One fire snake spell. One fire shield spell. One dark arrow. When he saw that the four spells did not have any obstacles to cast and could be used perfectly, Carusos heart completely calmed down. He left the school at the first possible moment and immediately went to the school committee. He filled in a form and submitted an application to the teacher in charge. The reason why he wanted to leave school was because he wanted to learn magic well in the magic world. If he did not have other things to disturb his state of mind, he would be able to study magic in peace. If he stayed in the magic world for a long time while in school, things like today would definitely happen frequently. After all, if he did not go to class for a long time or did not get out of bed, his roommates and teachers would be suspicious. Naturally, Caruso didnt want such a thing to happen. So, he chose to take a leave of absence. Fortunately, his grades werent very good, and he was relatively poor. The teacher mistakenly thought that Caruso thought that his studies werent good and wanted to enter the workforce early to earn money, so he approved the leave of absence. After all, he had seen such a person in every class, so it was not surprising. However, before he left, the teacher took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into Carusos hand, he said with a heavy tone, Caruso, this teacher is not very capable and I know that your familys conditions are not good. Take this hundred dollars. After you go out to work, try not to argue with others. Bear with it as much as you can. Society is not like school. If you encounter any difficulties, you can look for this teacher. If I can help, I will definitely help you. Caruso was a little touched by his teachers actions. Although he didnt need the money, he still accepted the money in order to not leave anything suspicious. Teacher, I will repay you in the future! After taking the money, Caruso raised his head and casually said this. After saying this, he left the office. After leaving the school, Caruso faced a huge problem. No matter what he wanted to do, he needed to first have money! Money, this thing, in the next year, might be a waste of paper. But now, money was very important. Not to mention other things, now he faced a problem: where to live? If it was before, Caruso would have lived in an ordinary rental house. But now that he had become a six-star apprentice magician, how could he stay in a shabby little house? So, he quickly fell into deep thought. What should he do? After thinking for an hour. There were three options in front of Caruso. First: Rob a bank. Second: Kidnap a rich man. Third: Rob a jewelry store. All three options were the quickest way to get money. In the past, Caruso had only seen these things on TV. Usually, he didnt even dare to think about itlet alone do it. Chapter 23 However, there was a drawback to these three roads, no matter which one. That was, he couldnt spend the money. He didnt have any talent in crime and this was something that came to him at the last minute. Even if he could successfully rob someone But after the robbery, the police could easily find his existence from all kinds of clues. After following the clues, they could quickly lock onto his location. He didnt want to be interrupted by such trivial matters. For this reason, he didnt want to do these three methods unless he was desperate. In the beginning, he thought to try to use the dark contract method to control a super-rich person. But soon, the problem came. He needed to spend a lot of time to find these rich people. Or he would just squat on the road, see a luxury car, immediately rush over, and then contract the other party. However, this method would still attract some unnecessary attention. In addition, Caruso wanted to solve all the problems in a day, so he was prepared to use the fastest method. Now he only needed a little money to solve the short-term problem. F*ck, Im going to kill all of them tonight. Ive already taken out a loan of one million on the internet. Please tell me the fortune of today. I will definitely win today! While Caruso was thinking, a man in his twenties and thirties with a cigarette in his mouth said to his friend beside him in an extremely domineering manner. After saying that, his friend immediately echoed, Yes, lets go to Caesar Casino and have a big fight tonight. After hearing the twos words, a new plan immediately appeared in Carusos mind. Caesar Casino was the largest casino. Almost everyone in this city knew the name, even if it were a guy who never gambled. Moreover, Caesar Casino also had the protection of the government. After all, Caesar Casino generated hundreds of billions of tax revenue for the government every year. The other surrounding cities were also extremely envious. They all imitated Caesar Casino. However, their casino was ultimately inferior to Caesar Casino. Caesar Casino was still the leader of the gambling world. Once he heard about the gambling company, Caruso immediately had an idea. His spiritual power and perception were so powerful. Perhaps he could use them to gamble? After all, there was no such thing as cheating in the casino. As long as he won with his own ability, he would be awesome. If he was caught, he would be cut off. This kind of thing was too common. As long as he was not caught, there was no cheating. Thinking of this, Caruso no longer hesitated. He directly got into a taxi and drove in the direction of Caesar Casino. At six oclock in the evening, Caruso took a full two-hour car ride from the suburbs to Caesar Casino, which was located in the center of the city. After arriving here, he directly threw 50 dollars to the driver and left without looking back. The driver quickly took the money and shouted at Caruso, who was leaving, Boss, I wish you a fortune! After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and left the place. After leaving, he muttered to himself, Haa, its not good to do something at such a young age. Its such a pity that he insisted on gambling. In the eyes of the driver, Carusos clothes were average and his family was definitely not well-off. On the other hand, he looked like a student. He probably got some money from somewhere and was prepared to come to the casino to find excitement. For such people, the driver had seen countless of them sitting in the casino. Every one of them went to the casino aggressively and, in the end, only their underwear was left. However, this matter had nothing to do with him. He was only a driver. He could only say such words and earn some living expenses. Give me 800 chips! After arriving at the casino, Caruso went straight to the place where the chips were exchanged. He took out the money given by the doctor and counted it carefully. It was a total of 700 dollars. Together with the 100 dollars given by his teacher, it was a total of 800 dollars. When he took out the money, the girl who had exchanged the chips looked at Caruso with disdain. He took out red packets from both of his pockets and looked like a student. It was estimated that this money was given by an elder in the family. Little friend, gambling here is nine out of ten losses. Do you really want to change? The girl saw that Caruso was young and could not bear to see him fall into such a trap. When the girl was counting the money, she could not help but give him a reminder. Its okay. Lets play. Carusos thoughts had already flown to the casino, so he naturally did not care about the girls words. Seeing that the other party did not care, the girl was even more indifferent. She shrugged, took out three 100 chips and a 500 chip, and handed it to Caruso. When she handed it to Caruso, she said lightly, I wish the boss a fortune. After saying that, she began to greet the next customer. Give me 500,000 to play with! The next customer was even more curious than Caruso. With a big belly, his tone was very arrogant. When she heard that the other party had exchanged 500,000 yuan, the girls attitude changed 360 degrees. Okay, okay. Boss, you are really generous. I wonder if the boss came alone? Or? Obviously, when the girl was returning the money, she had already set her eyes on this rich man. She opened her mouth and asked him for information in a very subtle way. The boss probably had his eyes on this lady as well. He immediately came forward and whispered, Room 777. After saying that, the lady shyly glanced at the other party. Then, she lightly bit her lips and nodded. After exchanging the chips, the boss waved his hand and immediately took out a chip with a value of 10,000 and pushed it in front of the other party. Then, he said, This chip doesnt look good. When the time comes, exchange it for me. Send it to me! Seeing this scene, the people around did not even need to think before they knew that there would be some crazy bedroom athletics. However, they were all ordinary people. They were not as generous as the boss who just had to pay 10,000 US dollars for prostitution. Chapter 24 Once he received the chips, Caruso immediately left the place that exchanged money for chips. After entering the casino, there were all kinds of strange ways to play. Blackjack. Baccarat. Dice. Rounds. Slots. Looking at such an empty and lively casino, Caruso slowly walked over and strolled around. After strolling around for a while, he didnt find anything interesting. After all, his special ability was perception, not perspective. Just like that, he strolled around and finally stopped at the dice table. When he arrived at the gambling table, Caruso found that he could clearly know that the final number was after the dice were shaken. When he felt this, he immediately became interested and immediately found a seat and sat down. Three, three, four. Ten points! After sitting down, the game started and was ready to start. When the betting was about to start, Caruso muttered. Its on three, three, four. Ten points! After muttering, the dealer finally revealed the dice and shouted immediately. I said it was big, why dont you believe it? Damn it, its already thirteen times and its still going to be big? F*ck, I dont believe it. Ill bet on it again! After the dealer finished his words, the gamblers around the gambling table began to make their own comments. At the same time, the dealer ignored them and shook the dice again. Then, he pressed the bell. Once the bell rang, it proved that it was time to place the bet. Although Caruso had never played in person, he had watched countless movies of the god of gamblers. He immediately piled all his chips on top of the big one. Across the gambling table, there were 700,000 to 800,000 on the small ones and only a few tens of thousands on the big ones. Obviously, everyone did not want to see the big one after fourteen big ones! Open. Five, five, six. Sixteen, big! After betting for ten seconds, the dealer opened the dice cup again and, soon, a string of numbers appeared in front of everyones eyes. This time, it was big again! Everyones eyes were almost going blind as they watched the dealer pass the money to Caruso. In just a short while, the 800 chips in Carusos hand turned into 6,000 chips in the blink of an eye. Looking at the heavy six 1,000 dollar chips in his hand, Caruso immediately understood why gamblers could not quit once they got into gambling. It was because the feeling of winning in gambling was really great and it was very exciting. Gambling was like magic. It constantly tempted gamblers, making them believe that they would definitely win the next round. Unfortunately, not everyone was like Caruso, who could know the answer. Ding ding ding! Another bell rang. This time, after it rang, Caruso couldnt help but frown. Then, he immediately bet all his money on three fours leopard. A total of 6,000 dollars. He didnt hesitate at all, as if it hadnt been thought through. Just like that, it was thrown out like a piece of waste paper. Leopards appeared almost every few hours. Many people also found a way to play. They specialized in betting on leopards, just waiting for a payback. Therefore, although the situation of the brat, Caruso, betting on leopards attracted some peoples attention, the dealer and the others didnt care at all. Open! Three fours, leopards! Soon, with a loud sound, three fours leopard appeared in front of everyone. After they appeared, the 6,000 dollars in Carusos hand instantly turned into 72,000 dollars. Perhaps because it had hit the leopards, when the surrounding people saw Caruso again, their eyes changed. However, most of them looked at Caruso with envy, thinking that Caruso had just gotten lucky. However, what happened next completely shocked the surrounding gamblers. Soon, the entire casino gathered here and watched Caruso place his bet. As for what he placed his bet on, the others also placed their bets. All of this was because he had started to enter the winning streak mode. Two, three, four. Straight small. Ten minutes later, the dealers voice began to tremble. There was already a few millions worth of crystal chips placed in front of Carusos table. These chips added up to a total of more than 20 million. With this win, Caruso was ready to leave the casino. He came here to make some money for his future life. He did not have a grudge against the casino and wanted to bankrupt it. God of Gamblers, are you not playing anymore? F*ck, God of Gamblers, Ive only made two or three bets with you and youre leaving? God of Gamblers, make another bet! Make another bet! God of Gamblers, I know its not good to be greedy but my family needs money urgently. Make another bet, make another bet! Soon, seeing Caruso stand up, the hundreds of gamblers around him immediately pleaded with him. In a few minutes, when Carusos chips changed from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and then from hundreds of thousands to millions, there were already many people surrounding him. Some of these people were quietly waiting to watch, while others were also betting. Those who were watching didnt make much money, while those who were betting also became rich. It could be said that in just a few minutes, a few millionaires were born from this group of people. And the casino lost tens of millions in one go. Almost all of its weekly revenue had been lost. Later, seeing so many people making a fortune, more and more people gathered here and placed bets one by one with God of Gamblers Caruso. In the process of placing bets, the dealer changed one after another. But no matter how they changed, Caruso was like a clairvoyant, accurately guessing every string of numbers. Chapter 25 Similarly, this caused everyone to follow suit. Almost every time Caruso placed a bet, everyone would follow him and place their bets. Because of this, when Caruso was about to leave, the gamblers naturally urged him to stay. Sir, since everyone wants you to stay, why dont you stay and play one last round? Im the senior manager here, nicknamed the Thousand Hands God Slayer. May I know this brothers name? Similarly, a long-haired man suddenly walked out under everyones urging. The mans hair was around his jaw and his appearance couldnt be seen clearly. However, his hands only had seven fingers, which made people unable to help but pay attention to him. What, its Thousand Hands God Slayer? Why is one of the top ten gambling kings here? Who is he? F*ck, he doesnt even know him? To think that you claim to be a gambling addict. I dont know his real name, but his nickname is well-known in the casino. He won in the casino and made more than a billion dollars in one night. Last year, he participated in the World Gambling King Competition and got into the top ten in the country. After that, he disappeared. I didnt expect him to appear in this casino! F*ck, such an awesome person? Are we still going to bet? After the Thousand Hands God Slayer announced his name, the gamblers behind him began to discuss. Those who did not understand the situation were asking the people around them, while those who understood the situation began to explain slowly. On the other hand, Caruso was originally prepared to leave when things were going well. However, looking at the situation, the other party did not intend to let him leave, so he sat down again. After he sat down, the crowd cheered. Each and every one of them was extremely happy because Caruso continued to bet. Lets begin! Caruso naturally knew that gambling existed in this world. Gambling was not a matter of pure luck. For some shrewd people, cheating was not a difficult matter. However, compared to powerful magic, who was stronger? When Thousand Hands God Slayer saw Caruso sitting down, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing great confidence. Soon, he took out the dice cup and immediately began to shake it. Compared to the dealer who could only shake the dice through the machine, Thousand Hands God Slayer was more powerful. Ding-ling-ling. Ding-ling-ling. Soon, thirty seconds later, Thousand Hands God Slayer put the cup on its original position. Then, ten seconds later, he made a please sign, meaning that he could place his bet. After the dice stopped, he also knew that the number inside was six, six, six, leopards. When he was about to place his bets, Caruso also started to make his move. If one looked carefully, they would discover that one of Carusos index fingers was placed on the gambling table. A tiny flame actually condensed from his fingernail, and in the blink of an eye, like a termite, it pierced a hole in the table. The flame was like a thread, crazily devouring the inside of the table. Soon, it touched a thread. Not long after, the thread was completely burned away. If his guess was right, this thread was the hidden thread in the gambling table. When he was sitting at the gambling table, Caruso had already figured out everything that was going on in the gambling table. The reason why Thousand Hands God Slayer dared to challenge him was because of two reasons. First, he felt that Carusos hearing was extraordinary, so he used a powerful method to confuse his sight and hearing. The second method was to use a hidden line to make the dice in the cup move. If it was just like Thousand Hands God Slayers ideaCaruso relying on his hearing to count the dicehis technique just now was very powerful. Unless Caruso was one of the top three gambling gods in China, it was impossible for him to hear clearly. Therefore, he was too lazy to use a hidden line. If it wasnt for the consideration of accidents. However, his calculation was wrong. Did Caruso rely on his hearing to distinguish the position? He relied on his powerful perception and spiritual power. No matter how powerful the opponents technique was, as long as the dice fell, he would be able to know the number inside. And now that the hidden line was burned, Caruso basically had no worries. Three six leopards! In the blink of an eye, Caruso threw all his chips over. With this throw, the gamblers were dumbfounded. One by one, they looked at each other. They didnt dare to place any bets. First of all, they were all frightened by the name of the Thousand Hands God Slayer. Then, Caruso directly bet on leopards this time. This was a big joke. Humans were like this, if they did not win, they might still dare to go up. But everyone won hundreds of thousands, millions, who would still go up? After all, if they lost, they would lose completely. Thus, for a full ten seconds, no one placed their bets. Until the time when the dice cup was about to be opened, a few brave people still took out hundreds of thousands and placed their bets. Obviously, no one believed that Caruso could win. Only Thousand Hands God Slayer had no expression on his face, but his heart was filled with fear. Because the number Caruso gave was the number he gave. Facing such an emergency, Thousand Hands God Slayer no longer cared about professional ethics. Once Caruso won, 20 million would become 240 million. The entire casinos income in a month. He couldnt let the casino lose 200 million just for the sake of professional rules. For this, he quietly moved his feet and touched the hidden lines button. Bang! Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and a ball of flame appeared under the gambling table, and a puff of black smoke rose. This time, the person in charge was scared out of his wits. The casino could lose anything but it couldnt lose its reputation. Chapter 26 If it was not handled properly and the other gamblers knew that the casino had a spy, in less than three days, the casino would be completely closed down. Losing money was a small matter since the money could be made back slowly. As long as the casino was still there, it could always be earned back in the future. Therefore, the moment the smoke rose, the general manager immediately walked over and frowned, asking his underlings to help him up. Im sorry, the machine has a glitch. Open the dice cup first. Your glitch is still a glitch! Yeah, dont deny it! The glitch didnt affect the dice on the table. I guess there must be something fake in it! Yes, yes, it depends on whether they open it or not! These gamblers were obsessed with gambling but they were not fools. If you said it was a glitch, then it was a glitch. However, if you didnt open the dice cup, everyone would be unhappy immediately. When the head supervisor saw this scene, his scalp went numb. To be able to get Thousand Hands God Slayer to use a spy, it proved that there were indeed three sixes in the cup. If it was any other time, he really would not open it. In any other case, if he did not open it, no one would care. But now, with such a big incident, if he did not open it, then the casinos business would be gone. After thinking for a few seconds, the head supervisor hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying: Open! After saying that, one of his underlings opened the cup and three sixes appeared. With the 240 million in front of Caruso. He lit a cigarette and was not excited by the wealth in front of him. After puffing and puffing, he slightly faced the dealer and deposited the money into his card. Then, he began to wait. With more than 200 million in liquid funds, Caruso was not afraid that the other party would not give it to him after he left. After all, there were so many people watching. If the other party did not give it to him, then the casino would still have no business tomorrow. Who would gamble in a place that did not lose money? After the head manager heard Carusos words, he looked at him angrily and then nodded to his subordinate. Before long, his subordinate started to get busy. Ten minutes later, his subordinate came back and nodded again. Carusos phone also received two messages. Construction Bank: Dear customer, you have automatically upgraded to a Super VIP of the bank. There is no need to line up for any business. It is handled by the exclusive staff! After seeing these two messages, Caruso made a call to the customer service of the bank in front of everyone. After the customer service confirmed it, he stood up and smiled at the person in front of him. Thank you! After saying that, he left the casino without looking back. When he left, many people also left. They had all relied on Caruso to make a big profit. Who would stay here at this moment? However, there were still many people whispering. Haa, if the other party doesnt have a background, we wont be able to see him! Yeah, its obvious that the casino wont let him go. They were probably investigating his identity just now. Yeah, it took them ten minutes to transfer the money. This brother is famous for making this money, so Im afraid he wont have the life to enjoy it. In the city under the night sky, neon lights illuminated the streets and alleys. Cars could be seen on the busy road. There were people working out, motorcycle riders delivering food, young people walking, and middle-aged people walking with their children. After coming out of the casino, Carusos eyes were a little confused. A few days ago, he was just a poor worker. He accidentally transmigrated and became a student. After becoming a student, he entered the magic world before he had the time to understand this world. And today, he made a few hundred million and became a multi-millionaire. Everything seemed so unreal, like a dream. However, life was a dream. Fortunately, everything was developing in a good direction and there werent too many bad things. After taking a few deep breaths of the sweet air, Caruso left the place step by step. However, after he casually took a taxi, he soon discovered that someone was following him. After sensing that someone was following him, he didnt panic. Instead, he asked the driver to go to a remote place. Since the other party wanted his life, he wouldnt let this group of people go. After about half an hour, the driver parked the car in a remote suburb. After arriving here, the driver left with a loud sound of the accelerator. A few minutes later, the area where Caruso got off arrived a black Santana. Not long after, four or five fierce-looking people got out of the car. Where is he? Go after him! After getting out of the car, they looked around and soon found Carusos trail. Soon, a few people rushed up with knives in their hands. Caruso pretended to be scared and ran away. Just like that, after chasing and running for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at a quiet and deserted place. After arriving here, Caruso stood there and quietly waited for the arrival of this group of people. Soon, a group of people who were sweating profusely and panting arrived in front of Caruso. After arriving here, they gritted their teeth and said, Kid, you were running. Why arent you running anymore! Dont talk nonsense. Let him pay! Kid, dont think that you can leave just because you won the money. Now Ill give you two choices. The first is to return the money. The second is to die! After these people arrived, they directly released vicious words. They did not care about Carusos thoughts and walked closer step by step. Ha! However, after Caruso confirmed that these people were members of the casino, he sneered. Chapter 27 Then, he raised his hands slightly and two balls of flames suddenly appeared. This this Where the hell did this fire come from? Theres something strange about this little punk! Dont be afraid, he probably has some special ability. Theres oil on his hands and hes trying to scare us! Seeing the appearance of the flames, two of them were a little afraid. They pointed at the flames and were tongue-tied. However, the leader was very calm. He tried to use scientific methods to explain. After his explanation, everyone was indeed not so afraid. One by one, they closed in again. Bang! However, just as they were about to reach Caruso, two balls of flames immediately shot out. Like guided missiles, they directly locked onto the two people at the front. In the next second, the balls of flames landed on their bodies with a loud bang. The flames instantly engulfed the bodies of the two people. In the blink of an eye, the two people were burned to death without even letting out a cry. This oh my god! Murder! Murder! Help! Help! The other two people from the mortal world said when their companions were burned to death in the blink of an eye. They fell to the ground and did not move at all. They were so scared that they took a few steps back. Seeing this cruel scene, their scalps went numb and their minds went blank. After coming back to their senses, the two of them immediately turned around and wanted to escape. They had been in the underworld and had seen brutal people, but they had never seen such a ruthless person. They had not even spoken a few words when they met and he had set fire to kill people. The key point was that the appearance of the fire was so strange that there was simply no way to deal with it. Although he did not know what the two balls of fire were, what he knew was that it was not a simple matter. Bang! Bang! There were two more sounds. After the flames burned, the two fleeing people had not run far before they were caught up by the two balls of fire. In the blink of an eye, they had turned into ashes. Caruso did not have the slightest psychological burden when it came to killing people for the first time. This group of people were skilled in their work. It was obvious that they had killed countless innocent gamblers. Especially since there was still one more year before the world would change. At that time, death would really become a very common thing. Especially in Carusos eyes, at least at this moment This world had long lost its order! Seeing that the four of them were completely burned by the flames, with not even the bones being left behind, Caruso directly left this place. With this method of committing crimes, even if a divine detective came, he would not be able to find any clues. Even if they wanted to find out, it would take at least a few months. Maybe even a year. But when that time came, his strength would definitely be many times stronger than it was now. Therefore, he did not need to care about so-called law and order. He didnt even need to do anything. A year later, when the disaster arrived, the order of this world would no longer exist. After leaving, Caruso randomly found a hotel and fell asleep. He didnt directly enter the game. After all, he still had a lot of things to do in the morning, and it would be very troublesome if he was called out again. After a nap, the sun shone down on him the next morning. Caruso simply tidied up his clothes, then began to take a plane. He randomly picked a state as his destination and set off. The reason he chose to leave was mainly because he was afraid that there would be trouble in this city. Such a large casino would definitely have many dark forces behind it, whether it was the underworld or the police government. Although Caruso was not afraid that the other party would cause trouble for him, if this group of people did not stop, they would definitely disturb his training. At 11 oclock in the morning, Caruso arrived at his destination from the plane: Texas. He took a taxi and went directly to the most famous wealthy district in the area. After arriving here, Caruso found the manager, pointed to the most expensive villa, took out his bank card, and paid directly. Such an efficient speed of buying a house shocked the entire sales staff. The sales ladies who previously looked disdainful and unwilling to pay attention to Caruso almost cried out. This sum had earned them at least a million in commission. In the process of buying a house, there were many sales ladies who flirted, winked, and even pulled down their collars to show off their snow-white cleavage. They handed Caruso their phone numbers. And Caruso accepted them all politely. With money, the procedures were naturally handled quickly. After ten minutes, Caruso owned a top-notch villa. After the purchase and signing all the contracts, he directly moved in. He did not flirt with those salesgirls. In the villa, Caruso casually took a look at the house that was selling for 180 million. The interior decoration was a Western European model, and all kinds of items were made purely by hand. After taking a look around, Caruso lay on a bed. When he was sure that nothing would happen around him, he said to the system, Enter the Magic World! With the order, Carusos eyes lit up. When he woke up again, he was still in the cave. Bard quietly looked at Caruso. Because he had just taught him dark magic. Caruso had stayed in the real world for two days but, in this world, only one second had passed. Therefore, Bard didnt see anything strange and quickly asked, Respected Young Master Caruso, have you learned it? Yes, Mr. Bard! Because he had suddenly transformed into the magical world, Caruso did not think too much and answered subconsciously. Chapter 28 After answering, Bard smiled awkwardly and quickly added. Young Master Caruso, dark magic is very difficult to learn. The structure inside is particularly complicated. If you have anything you dont understand, feel free to ask me. Obviously, Bard felt that Caruso was talking big. He had only said it once and demonstrated it once. How could Caruso learn it so quickly? The other party did not know the arrangement of the elements, the splitting of the elemental particles, the standard of the release, or the magic spells. It was just like how a teacher taught a student a binary quadratic equation. They had not yet taught you the 99 multiplication table, but only solved a binary quadratic equation in front of you. How could the student understand it immediately? However, Caruso was an exception. After hearing Bards words, he didnt say a word of nonsense. In the blink of an eye, under the illumination of the lamp in his hand, a black, ink-like arrow of darkness appeared in his hand. How how is this possible! You you After seeing Caruso directly use magic, Bard was shocked into the distance. He knew that this youth in front of him definitely had something extraordinary. Otherwise, the God of Darkness wouldnt have allowed him to receive all of his inheritances. One had to know that he had stayed here for a full 30 years and had yet to comprehend the secret left behind by the God of Darkness. But the other party had comprehended it in an instant. But, even so, Caruso couldnt have been so powerful! This action wasnt just powerful but terrifying. Such a terrifying talent directly shocked Bard on the spot. Caruso did not understand the situation but, when he saw Bards expression, he thought that he had done something wrong. He immediately asked nervously, Teacher Bard, am I not performing well? Or is there something wrong? Bard: In fact, if Caruso had not said this sentence, Bard would have been shocked at most. But now, he felt like crying. As a super-genius of dark magic, when he first comprehended dark magic, it took him a few months to understand the internal depth before he could cast a level one dark magic. However, the other party only looked at it once and he understood it all in one go. Moreover, the other partys level one dark magic, dark arrow, clearly had very strong magic fluctuations. Much thicker than normal dark arrows. In other words, the strength of this dark arrow was twice that of an ordinary darkness-type mage. Therefore, after facing Carusos words, he would feel like crying. What he did not know was that, not far from the Dark Forest, there was an old man who had already cried. Respected Young Master Caruso, you are a genius! After a long while, Bard finally spoke. This sentence was definitely not said to curry favor with Caruso. It was said from the bottom of his heart while he was deeply shocked. Bard had lived in the magic world for decades and had seen countless geniuses. He was a genius himself. But he had never seen a genius like Caruso. He could learn magic in a second just by looking at it. Unless he was the child of a god, there was no other way to explain such a strange phenomenon. No, it seemed like Caruso was the Child of Darkness, so naturally, he could be considered the child of the God of Darkness. Bard thought to himself. Thinking of this, he was not so shocked. After all, Carusos identity was right there. However, seeing Carusos great talent, Bard was also very happy. With this talent, perhaps in less than a year, Caruso would find the Magic Cup. After finding the Magic Cup, he would be able to obtain even more power. At that time, he would definitely kill his enemy personally. The hatred of the past would not be so easily forgotten. Mr. Bard, dont you want these things? While Bards eyes were filled with anticipation, a discordant voice suddenly awakened his beautiful imagination. He saw Caruso suddenly look at the ground, bending down from time to time to pick up some junk. These things were all from the powerful figures of the Temple of Light who had died after the great battle with him in the Dark Forest. To a dark mage, these things with light abilities were completely useless to him. Moreover, the things these people carried were all trash. Trash that could not be considered trash. As a ten-star grand archmagus, Bard naturally did not care about them. However, just because he did not care about them did not mean that Caruso did not care about them either. Initially, Caruso was about to ask Bard how he could leave when he suddenly realized that he had stepped on something. It was quite uncomfortable. He bent down to take a look and found a broken ring. The moment he saw the ring, the information of the ring appeared in his mind. [Broken Holy Light Ring] Type: Jewelry Quality: Silver Effect: +10 holy damage Effect: +5 light absorption speed Description: The Ring of the Archbishop of the Temple of Light. It was buried in dust for 30 years after its death and its quality dropped from platinum to silver. After seeing this attribute, how could Caruso not be excited? Although this ring was already silver-grade, silver-grade weapons were not much different from bronze-grade ones. They were both overused equipment but they were still of some help to him. For this, he quickly picked it up and asked. Chapter 29 Its okay, its okay! Bard didnt know why Caruso wanted such rubbish but, as long as Caruso was happy, he didnt care about these things. What he didnt know was that after he said these words, Caruso started to dig at the pile of bones as if he had gone crazy. At first, he was scared by the bones, so he started to kick them with his feet and dig at them with his hands. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for obtaining [Silver Weapon C Broken Holy Light Staff]. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for obtaining [ Bronze Boots C Corroded Blessed Boots]. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for obtaining [Bronze Treasure C Mu Pearl]. Very quickly, one item after another was dug out by Caruso from the pile of bones. In the process of searching, he had found a total of eight items. Among them, four were bronze-rank items. The attributes on them had only been slightly increased. After thinking about it for a while, Caruso immediately threw them away. It wasnt that he was rich or overbearing but that these items had been corroded very badly. If he were to wear them, they would look very abnormal. As for the remaining four items, three were silver and one was gold. [Broken Holy Light Staff] [Broken Holy Light Ring] [Broken Holy Light Robe] [Holy Light Bracelet Stained with Evil Aura] These items seemed to be custom-made sets. Each item had a holy light before its name. Moreover, these items were originally platinum-level equipment. However, due to the corrosion of time, each of them had degraded to silver-tier. Among them, only the bracelet still retained a bit of its radiance and was still at the rank of gold-grade. Similarly, the holy light bracelet also had a skill attached to it. The rest were all light-type attributes. After equipping these four pieces of equipment, which had an upwards total of 60 light-type skills. There was a 20-point increase in the speed of absorbing light-type elemental particles, as well as an increase of 15 points in spiritual power. After equipping the equipment, Carusos attributes also had a new change. ID: Caruso Class: Full-time Mage (Hidden Class), Child of Darkness. Level: 6-star Apprentice Mage (1400/1500) HP: 600 Mana: 6,600 Strength: 10 Spirit: 25 Defense: 10 Agility: 10 Distributable attributes: 30 Special Attributes: Fire damage increased by 20%, dark magic damage increased by 70% (because it was not night), light damage +40, light elemental particle absorption speed 20 (equivalent to an increase of 2%). After seeing the changes in his attributes, especially after wearing the equipment, he felt a clear current rush up from the soles of his feet to his head. His entire person became much clearer. After settling all these, he did not plan to waste any more time. He said to Bard, Mr. Bard, Im leaving this place now. May I ask how I can leave this place? After asking, he realized that Bard was looking at him with a face full of confusion as if he had not returned to his senses. Oh Im sorry, Respected Young Master Caruso. I was thinking about something else just now. If you want to leave, I will help you! A few seconds later, Bard came back to his senses and immediately became embarrassed. However, he had been in the underworld for so many years, so he had a profound understanding of the world. Therefore, he immediately changed the topic with one sentence. After changing the topic, Bard suddenly floated to a corner. Then, he made a hand seal and hit the ground. Soon, a six-star light circle condensed from black light appeared in the cave. Young Master Caruso, if you walk into the center of this magic formation, it will take you away from here, Bard said slowly after the light formation came out. After saying that, Caruso nodded and quickly walked into the light formation. When he walked in, not long after, the black six-star light formation emitted a strange power. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the cave. When he woke up, he was already outside the forest. From the moment he appeared in the forest, before he could do anything, the systems voice sounded one after another. Ding-dong! Due to the player completing the Dark Forest Storyline Quest [Bards Revenge], Reward 10,000 EXP. Ding-dong! Due to the player completing a storyline quest for the first time, reward experience points will be randomly increased. Permanently increasing charm by 100 points! Ding-dong! Experience points will be increased by five times this time, a total of 50,000 EXP. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for leveling up to 7-star Apprentice Mage. A total of 5 free attribute points have been obtained. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for leveling up to 8-star Apprentice Mage. A total of 5 free attribute points have been obtained. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for leveling up to 9-star Apprentice Mage. A total of 5 free attribute points have been obtained. Ding-dong! Congratulations Player for leveling up to 10-star Apprentice Mage. A total of 5 free attribute points have been obtained. A series of notifications instantly raised Carusos realm from a six-star apprentice mage to a ten-star apprentice mage. After breaking through four minor realms, each of his attribute points was increased by four points, and he also received 20 free attribute points. In addition to the previous total, 45 attribute points were not allocated. Add all of them to spirit. After a few seconds, without any hesitation, Caruso decisively chose to add points to spirit. Chapter 30 Spirit, this attribute did not increase mana. This attribute was mainly targeted at the strength of the magic. If a mages spirit was high, then the strength of the magic he cast would be high. For example, Caruso and Village Chief Cass had both used level 1 fireball, but Carusos fireball was far larger than the others and the damage was also greater than the others. This was the benefit of having a strong mind. Of course, the benefit added to the mind would also increase a certain amount of mana, but the increase in mana was not very high. After adding points, Caruso looked at his experience points and could not help but fall into deep thought. He had already become a 10-star apprentice mage, but if he wanted to break through to the mage realm He would need a total of 100,000 EXP. When he saw this number, Caruso wanted to quit the game immediately. It wasnt that 100,000 experience points were hard to obtain. However, breaking through to the mage realm required 100,000 experience points. What about breaking through to the magus realm? What about breaking through to the archmagus realm? These higher realms required tens of millions of experience points, right? Fortunately, he had asked the system the moment he finished reading. The systems answer to his questions was simple. Every major realm breakthrough required a huge amount of experience points. However, when he was in a minor realm, the experience points required would be much less. For example, he needed 100,000 experience points to break through. Once he broke through, he only needed 10,000 experience points to reach 2-star mage. When he reached the next major realm, the number of experience points he needed would slowly increase. Although Caruso wanted to complain about this setting, he eventually gave in. After all, a major realm was something that many people had been stuck at for their entire lives. As for himself, he only needed to kill monsters and complete quests to break through. Comparing himself to others, he was still very much a swindler. After dealing with these, Carusos next task was to use the special magic experience points. The special magic experience points were the accumulated experience points when he absorbed the dark element particles. After the incident with Bard, he had absorbed more than 100,000 dark element particles in the Dark Forest. That was more than 100,000 special magic experience points. Facing so many experience points, Caruso turned his attention to dark magic. Ding-dong! Do you want to upgrade Dark Arrow? Yes! Ding-dong! Congratulations on upgrading the dark arrow to a Tier 1 intermediate spell! Deducting 2,000 experience points. Ding-dong! Congratulations on upgrading the dark arrow to a Tier 1 advanced spell! Deducting 5,000 experience points. Ding-dong! Congratulations on upgrading dark arrow to Tier 1 super-advanced spell! Deducting 10,000 experience points. Ding-dong! Do you wish to upgrade dark spell [Curse]? Yes! Ding-dong! Congratulations on upgrading Curse to Tier 1 intermediate spell! Deducting 2,000 experience points. Ding-dong! Congratulations on upgrading Curse to Tier 1 advanced spell, deducting 5,000 experience points. Ding-dong! Congratulations on upgrading Curse to a Tier 1 super-advanced spell! 10,000 experience points deducted. Ten minutes later. The three dark spells that Caruso had mastered had all been upgraded to the level of a super-advanced spell. The three skills had cost him a total of 51,000 EXP, leaving him with 93,000 EXP. The remaining EXP was not enough to upgrade the dark contract, so Caruso could only put this idea aside for the time being. After he was done with these matters, Carusos strength increased by three times in just half an hour. If Caruso could only face some tier 1 demonic beasts before, then But now, even if a tier 2 intermediate demonic beast appeared, Caruso could still completely crush the other party. And this was his biggest change. Whether it was his attributes or his magic skills, they had all received a super-powerful change. Therefore, Caruso no longer had any fear. He directly walked past Holy Orchid City, not caring about whether there would be some so-called powerful magic beasts around him. He even hoped that there would be a large number of magic beasts. In that case he would be able to quickly break through to become a mage. One had to know that he had another innate skill that would only be awakened after he reached the mage realm. Yass Empire, outside Holy Orchid City. When Caruso walked out of the main road in the forest, he quickly saw a city that looked like the Central European cities of the 15th and 16th centuries not far away. Along the way, there were many people who were rushing to the city from the surrounding towns. Most of these people were farmers who were carrying a few baskets full of fresh fruits and vegetables, ready to be transported to Holy Orchid City to sell them. When they walked past the city gate, they saw a group of armored guards interrogating them. The main thing they did was to check their personal information. At first, when Caruso queued up to enter, these low-level guards did not give him any good looks. It was not until he took out the recommendation letter from Village Chief Cass and waited for the guards to finish reading the words on it that the attitude of these guards immediately changed greatly, one of them called out amicably, Respected Mage, Sir, you shouldnt have taken this road. There is a road here that doesnt need to be lined up for mages and nobles like you. After hearing this, Caruso smiled tactfully, then he expressed his respect and how he followed his teacher to learn magic. He had never come to Holy Orchid City before. After saying that, the guards became even more respectful. After all, in their eyes, a mage was a noble profession. And the other party had been learning magic with his teacher for so long. It proved that the other party had been learning magic since he was young. Although his teacher was only a 6-star mage, he was already an extraordinary figure in Holy Orchid City. Even an ordinary noble would have to stop and say hello to a 6-star magician. Therefore, in the eyes of the guards, Cass was already a great figure. Chapter 31 And this Caruso in front of him had been taught by Mage Cass since he was young. This proved that his talent in magic was absolutely not bad. Therefore, under these assumptions, the attitude of the guards became even more enthusiastic. Also because of the other partys change in attitude, Caruso took the opportunity to ask about the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. It would have been better if he did not ask. Once he asked, the group of people immediately became excited. Respected Sir Mage, I am the leader here. My name is Deluca. Are you going to take the examination at the magic academy? Yes, answered Caruso. Oh, Respected Sir Mage, this is your first time here. The geographical environment of Holy Orchid City is very complicated. Please allow me to bring you there personally, okay? Deluca seemed to have seen his idol at this time. His tone was excited and his actions were fierce as he stood in front of Caruso. He said every word with great anticipation and caution. Hearing that someone was willing to lead the way, Caruso was naturally very eager. He did not consider why the other party was so excited to lead the way and directly nodded in agreement. Once he agreed, Deluca directly threw the weapon in his hand to the side. Then, he said to the crowd, Im going to lead this mage to the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. You guys stay here and guard it well. When he said this, his tone clearly became much more serious when he said the word mage. Similarly, after he said this, the people around him all nodded and looked at Deluca with envy in their eyes. Caruso did not know why these guys were so excited. To the city gate guards, especially those who stood here and were only responsible for registering information This group of people were all relatively strong commoners but, because of the hard work and a little power, they naturally earned much more than civilians. In this case, their descendants would be able to receive their care and benefits, they were able to come into contact with the mage industry at a young age. For example, Delucas son was a one-star apprentice mage and was only twelve years old. This was great news for Delucas family. For this reason, Deluca naturally came into contact with the nobles. When he came into contact with the mages, he would be very enthusiastic. After all, if he could leave a good impression on a talented mage, they might be able to help him in the future? As for the other guards, they also wanted to wait for Caruso to go to the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. Not only would they be able to cling on to him. At least in the future, when they drank ale in the tavern, they could brag to their friends about their mage friends. This was something worth bragging about. Caruso and Deluca had already walked from the top of the city wall for more than an hour. During this hour, he saw many things that he had never seen before along the way. There were nobles in luxurious carriages speeding past him. There were merchants with gorgeous clothes hawking outside the shops. It was not an exaggeration to describe the city as prosperous. Just like that, Caruso unknowingly walked to the magic academy with an admiring attitude. The Holy Orchid Magic Academy was located in the middle of the city. According to Delucas introduction, the academy was located in the most prosperous area, just like the CBD[1] area of the city. There were all kinds of magic-related shops everywhere. Respected Mage, I will send you up to here. Deluca looked around and said goodbye with respect. Thank you, Mr. Deluca. Caruso also thanked the enthusiastic Deluca. No, no, no. It is my honor to be able to serve the Respected Mage. Deluca was obviously shocked by Carusos words and immediately answered in fear and trepidation. Caruso felt that everything was good in the magic world, except for the hierarchy between people. However, after experiencing it a few times, he was no longer interested in it. With a slight smile, it was over. Soon, under Delucas gaze, he entered the gate of the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. At this time, it was the enrollment day of the Magic Academy. Many people of his age walked into the academy under the gaze of the elders. Holy Orchid Academy, as the only magic academy in Holy Orchid City, its architecture was not something that ordinary nobles could build. The entire academy gave Caruso the feeling that it was similar to the magic school in Harry Potter. In the distance was a green path leading to the castle reminiscent of ancient Europe in the Middle Ages. There were all kinds of patterns cut out by gardeners on the roadside. There were warriors riding horses, magic dragons with bloody mouths, strange elves, and mages who lowered their heads like they were chanting. Under the scenery along the road, Caruso soon reached the end of the road. As soon as he arrived, there was a place that looked like an information desk. When he saw Caruso, he opened his mouth and said. Go to the right for the assessment! After hearing that, Caruso nodded his head in gratitude and then drove to the corridor on the right. After passing through the corridor, Caruso followed the large group of people and soon arrived at an empty square. When they arrived, they saw hundreds of young men and women lining up. In front of these people were a few instructors wearing black magic robes. There was a table in front of them with two crystal balls on it. Ninth-grade. Wood element talent. Low-level perception. Fail. Next, Krishna. Eighth-grade. Fire element talent. Low-level perception. Pass. Next, Barumbi. No magic talent detected. No perception detected. Fail. Next, Brooklyn. Soon, when Caruso walked into this place, he saw the instructor wearing a black magic robe. When he saw the group of participants placing their hands on the crystal ball and the crystal ball emitting all kinds of different things the instructors tone was cold as the results of the assessment were reported. [1] Central Business District. Chapter 32 Although Deluca was not a mage, his son was an apprentice mage. He had even asked around about it. Now, he was just telling Caruso. The Holy Orchid Magic Academy had been established for more than 300 years. The teachers were all very powerful mages. The principal was even thought to be a water element grand archmagus. There were more than 30 elemental instructors of the five elements and the weakest one was a five-star grand mage. Even in the entire Yass Empire, the Holy Orchid Magic Academy could be considered a very powerful academy among the elementary magic academies. Many elementary magic academies, from the principal to the instructors, might not even have ten people. There was no choice. There were many people who had the talent to become mages but there were very few people who could truly become high-level mages. Moreover, most of the strong people who became high-level mages chose to go outside instead of living in such a small town to teach students. Once, the number of mage tutors was very small. Even worse mage academies, including the principal, just happened to have five elements before opening their academies. However, it was still a low-level mage academy, so there wasnt much to care about. In the future, when he went to an intermediate magic academy or an advanced magic academy, the teachers there would be terrifying. However, if he wanted to go to an intermediate magic academy or an advanced magic academy, the first requirement was to have a certain level of strength. For example, in an intermediate magic academy, the first criterion for recruiting students was to become a ten-star mage. In an advanced magic academy, the first criterion for recruiting students was to become a ten-star mage and the age couldnt be more than thirty years old. What kind of concept was this? A ten-star grand mage who was not more than thirty years old would be respected by countless people no matter where he went. As long as he was willing, in order to rope him in, the Empire would definitely grant him a piece of land, give him a title of nobility, and let him guard a region. If you did not want to be a Lord, you could go to any elementary academy and be an existence at the level of a vice-principal. You could become a principal as long as you had enough experience. The principal of a magic academy was extremely important in this world. For example, in Holy Orchid City, although Principal Sella didnt care about civil matters, he had the right to directly remove the city lord of a city, and he could also veto the policies of all the city lords. In other words, the principal of a magic academy had power over the city lord and the nobles. He was the real big boss of a city. However, most of the principals were too lazy to bother with these trivial matters. Most of them only had one thought, which was to nurture geniuses or to improve their direct strength. Unless they had to do it or the other party did things excessively, the principals of the magic academy would not show up. Without further ado, as time passed. Very quickly, one by one, the children finished testing their attributes. After testing over a hundred people, Caruso finally understood why the mages in this world were so valuable. Out of a hundred people with magic talent, only eight were accepted. In other words, out of the hundred people, only eight could learn magic and become a real mage in the future. Under the exaggerated proportion of the data, Caruso was even more amazed at the number of geniuses. So far, out of the hundred people, the one with the highest talent was still a student who had awakened a seventh-grade earth element magic talent, as well as an intermediate perception. After this students talent was tested, the tutor was obviously excited. It was rare to see these glacier-faced teachers reveal a hint of joy. The surrounding children who were queuing up all looked over with envy and jealousy. Even many parents who brought their children to be tested began to discuss that person. Among the discussions, the most revolved around the word genius. Regarding this, Caruso became surprised and delighted. Surprised was the surprise that only one out of a hundred people had good talent. He was delighted. If he had a good talent of seventh-grade, what kind of talent would he achieve? The combination of the two made Caruso look forward to his test even more. An entire hour passed. Caruso had already moved from the long queue to the front row. There were seven or eight people in the front row, which meant that it would be his turn in a few minutes. For this test, Caruso mainly wanted to understand his talent through the magic equipment in this world. After all, the system did not accurately tell him about his talent. Fourth Fourth-grade wind talent Intermediate perception genius! Whats your name! Austin Bogu? Oh, no wonder, you are the son of Viscount Austin. Just as it was about to be Carusos turn, the crystal ball that was testing his talent suddenly flashed with a gentle light, instantly attracting the attention of the entire audience. When the teacher excitedly announced the talent of this person called Bogu, the originally restless audience immediately became stunned. In a few seconds. Voices of discussion followed one after another. What? Fourth-grade wind magic talent? I was wondering why a genius suddenly appeared. So its the son of Viscount Austin. Fourth-grade magic talent. In the next few decades, he will be another magi! Chapter 33 While everyone was discussing, a blue figure suddenly appeared at the scene of the assessment in the blink of an eye along with a gust of strong wind. After the strong wind stopped, a 30-to-40-year-old mage wearing a blue mage robe looked at Austin Bogu with surprise. Soon, a sentence came out of his mouth, Fourth-grade talent in wind element? Not bad, not bad. You can learn magic from me in the future! Thank you for your teaching, Respected Teacher Alpheide. As the son of a noble, Bogu had long known about his talent. For this reason, he was not surprised when his talent was shown. However, when he saw Alpheide, he tried his best to remain calm and gentlemanly, however, his voice was still trembling when he spoke. Everyone did not feel anything strange about Bogus performance. One had to know that the Eide in front of them was a nine-star wind magi. He was the strongest mage below the principal. Those who wanted to acknowledge him as their teacher could be said to be able to queue up from the Magic Academy to Auphi Village. Okay, come with me! Seeing that the other party was still relatively calm, Eide was even more satisfied, so he nodded and prepared to take him away. Meanwhile, Bogu immediately ran behind Eide and started to follow him. Next, Caruso! Under the envy of countless people, the teacher shouted at the crowd again. After shouting, Caruso came to the side of the magic ball. After arriving here, he slightly bowed and politely said with a smile, Respected Assessment Mentors, hello! The mentor seemed to have detected an extremely talented person just now, so his mood was a little high. His tone towards Caruso also softened a little, so he said, Put your hand on the first crystal ball. After hearing this, Caruso immediately nodded. After nodding, he put his hand on the crystal ball. After placing it on the crystal ball, Caruso felt the nine types of magic elements in his body surging crazily. Regarding this surging, he immediately made a decision. He stabilized the other eight types of magic elements and only released fire magic elements. Although it was known that genius would be valued by others, when his strength was still relatively weak, his terrifying talent would only bring him endless trouble and the attention of countless factions. Obviously, Caruso did not want to be noticed so quickly, so he only chose one element. After the fire element was released, the crystal ball did not have much of a reaction. Seeing this, the mentor was prepared to shake his head helplessly every day and then announce that he was not qualified. All of a sudden, a fiery red color appeared at the bottom of the crystal ball. After the color appeared, the teacher was attracted to it. He muttered, Fire fire element! As for his colleague, the fiery red color immediately rose to one-third of the crystal ball. Another child with good talent! Mm, not bad. This years students aptitude is pretty good. He probably has a grade-6 talent. The two instructors in charge of the assessment immediately started discussing when they saw that the red color of the crystal ball had already risen to one-third. Testing a mages talent was very simple. They just needed to place their hands on the crystal ball and wait for a while. Then, the color on the crystal ball represented the magic talent of the element. The color filled up the crystal balls capacity, which proved the talent of the level. For example, the current crystal ball was red, which meant that Caruso had a fire talent. In addition, the crystal ball had more than one-third of the capacity, which meant that he was already a level seven fire talent. While everyone was observing, the red element in the crystal ball suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, the crystal ball emitted a buzzing sound, and the table began to tremble. Buzz! After the sound, the red element in the crystal ball instantly filled the entire crystal ball. No Impossible! The crystal ball is broken? Hmm? Why are all the crystal balls used to test ones talent covered in red? Could it be that this seemingly ordinary kid has a super fire-type talent? Impossible, even Principal Sella is only a second-grade magic talent. Could it be that this kids talent is even stronger than Principal Sellas? After Carusos talent geodesic was displayed. The two examiners were dumbfounded. They stood on the spot, disbelief written all over their faces. As for the surrounding parents, they started discussing in shock. At the next second. All of a sudden, a few violent auras surged! Who was it that emitted such strong fire elemental energy! I like such violent elemental energy! You You all see this full fire elemental energy? What! Full fire elemental energy! Who Who are Who are you? Less than ten seconds after the fire elemental energy filled the entire crystal ball. Five figures of different colors arrived at the assessment site like a gust of wind. After arriving here, there were soon sounds of exclamations. Hello, Respected Principal Sella! Hello, Respected Lord Chris! Hello, Respected Lord Cuba! Chapter 34 When the five of them appeared, the two examiners placed one of their hands on their chests respectfully and quickly packed their luggage. The principal, who was addressed as Sella, only nodded slightly at the luggage of the examiners. Then, his gaze immediately shifted to Caruso. A minute ago, he was still studying magic in his office. Suddenly, he felt an extremely powerful fire element fluctuation. If it were any other time, he would have used some powerful fire element skill from one of the fire element instructors in the school. However, this period of time was the enrollment day. The teachers in the school had temporarily suspended classes, so they could not be more relaxed. Therefore, there was only one answer and that was that a genius had been born in the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. For this reason, in the blink of an eye, they ignored the consumption of magic power and used powerful magic to arrive at the scene at the fastest speed. When they saw Caruso, his subordinates, and the crystal ball that was covered with fire elements, everything was revealed. Whats your name? Sella looked at Caruso in shock and asked after a long time. Caruso. Caruso? After hearing Carusos answer, Sella spent a few seconds to confirm that he had never heard of this name. Nor was it the name of a noble or the son of a noble. Put your hand back and try, Sella said again. After he finished, Caruso didnt know what had happened. He shrugged, nodded politely, and put his hand back. When his hand left the crystal ball, the color inside the crystal ball disappeared like the receding tide. Put your hand up again! Im sorry. Im a little excited. Please forgive me! After the color of the crystal ball disappeared, a middle-aged man in a red robe immediately shouted anxiously. After shouting, he realized that he was a little too excited, so he immediately explained in a soft voice, his attitude couldnt be any better. Caruso naturally didnt care about the other partys attitude. He nodded again and put his hand on the crystal ball. One second. The crystal ball didnt react. Two seconds. Red fire element appeared in the crystal ball. Three seconds. The red fire element rose to one-third of the crystal balls height. Four seconds. Half of the space in the crystal ball was red fire element. Five seconds. The crystal ball was filled with fiery red colors. Once again, it was verified that it did not disappoint the expectant gazes of everyone present. Caruso had conquered everyone with super talent. Child, follow me! When Principal Sella saw this, he ignored everyones thoughts and immediately spoke to Caruso. After he finished speaking, before Caruso could reply, the man wearing a fiery red mage robe beside him immediately shouted, Principal Sella, this is a student who is full of fire element talent. You cant compete with me for a disciple! The man in the fiery red mage robe was an arrogant and weak young man with a lazy expression on his face. It was hard to believe that he was a teacher of this academy. As for Principal Sella, he was a slightly plump old man. It was unknown if it was due to the passage of time but his hairline was very high. He wore a pair of spectacles and there were a few wrinkles on his face. Yashili, do you think that you can nurture a super genius with full fire attributes? Principal Sella was helpless against Yashilis words. Others might not understand the meaning of having full fire attributes, but did he not? There might not even be one such person among the millions of brother magic apprentices. People with such talent would be the super powerhouses of the human race in the future. Once there was a big battle, they would definitely stand at the front to protect the world. Therefore, how could this kind of talented genius student study in a small town magic academy? In fact, Sella wanted Caruso to study at this academy more than anyone else. But really, if he did this, he would only harm the child in front of him. A talent with full fire attribute was like the son of a god, possessing unlimited potential. Every step they took, every day, was extremely important. Holy Orchid Elementary Magic Academy was a powerful existence that could not be scaled up in the surrounding villages and towns. However, for the entire Yass Empire, Holy Orchid Elementary Magic Academy was a low-level academy that could not be any lower. Take him for example. He was already almost sixty years old, but he was still just a mere grand magi. To teach this fire-element genius with full attributes at this level was simply delaying him. Thus, Sella was prepared to bring Caruso to the office and show him the way. However, there were so many people here. He couldnt just tell everyone that our school was too trashy and couldnt teach you. You should go to a university? Everyone understood the logic but it would be awkward to say it out loud. Therefore, when he heard that the fire element of the direct academy was Yashili, he directly rebuked him. After this rebuke, Teacher Yashili immediately reacted. His entire body was like a deflated balloon. Seeing that Yashili didnt say anything else, Sella affectionately waved at Caruso and said again, Child, come with me! With that, Caruso nodded and left with Principal Sella! Chapter 35 The quiet office. The dim yellow light. The wretched old man. And whether it was a pair of sizing up eyes. If it could be said that when Caruso was outside, he was incomparably respectful towards Principal Sella. But now, he felt a chill towards this Principal Sella in front of him. This was because this fellow had brought Caruso to a hidden office and closed all the curtains in the room. As a result, the light from the outside could not shine in at all. Especially the dim yellow light in the roomit made him feel an indescribable tension. Originally, this was nothing. But Sella suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a burning gaze. Caruso swore. If this was an old pervert, he would definitely use all his skills. Even if he died, he would let him experience the consequences! Child, whats wrong? Sella did not know what was going through Carusos mind but, when he saw the other party looking around, he could not help but ask curiously. His room was very simple and crude. There was nothing worth admiring. Sella didnt know that at this moment, he had already been labeled a pervert by Caruso. If he knew, he wouldnt mind casting a tier 4 water-type skill, water dragon waterfall, to wake Caruso up. No no problem, Principal Sella, why did you bring me in? Although Caruso wouldnt say what he was thinking, he deliberately stood near the door and immediately asked back. Oh, child, dont be afraid. Actually, I told you to come here because I wanted to tell you something. After some consideration, I think you should go to a higher place to develop. With your talent, your talent will only destroy you if you stayed in Holy Orchid City. A fire-type talent with full attributes can be said to have a godly speed when cultivating fire-type magic. If you go to an advanced magic academy, you will be able to break through to the magi realm in three to five years. In less than ten years, your strength will be even stronger than mine. If you are in our academy, no matter how talented you are, we can only teach you some basic things. It would be a miracle if you could become a magi within five years. Therefore, I am prepared to write a letter for you. Take this letter to the imperial capitals magic academy and look for a close friend of mine. He will serve as a teacher in your academy. With his recommendation, you will be able to enter the Imperial Magic Academy. Where you will soar is the sky! Sella sat on the chair in the office and slowly explained to Caruso. After saying the last word, a trace of helplessness and defeat flashed in his eyes. But because of the problem of the light, he was not discovered. The Imperial Magic Academy? After hearing Sellas words, Caruso felt strange. He did not expect that this seemingly wretched old man in front of him was actually a very upright person. Afraid of delaying Carusos own life, he would rather give up such a strong seed to go to another school on his own. From this point, Carusos impression of Principal Sella immediately rose by several levels. After all, there were simply too few people in the real world who put righteousness before interests. Just take the various schools that Caruso studied in the real world as an example. In the future, regardless of the teachers in their own schools, they would try their best to coax some talented local students to come over. Because of this, many students who actually had good grades were also led astray by those bad students after coming to such a rubbish school. In just a year, they became disabled. Although the students had their own reasons, it was more because the environment of the school itself was so bad. Therefore, compared to Principal Sellas method, it was simply a world of difference. Take this letter and go find George from the Imperial Academy of Magic. He will help you! Soon, Principal Sella took out a quill from the pen holder. Then, he wrote a large number of words on a sheepskin scroll at an extremely fast speed. After he finished writing, he handed it over to Caruso and began to prompt him. Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for receiving a main storyline quest due to a problem with his talent. He is heading to the Imperial Magic Academy. Completing the quest will reward 10,000 EXP. Random items will be rewarded with a lucky draw. Failure will result in a demotion! When Principal Sella handed over the sheepskin scroll, a system prompt sounded in Carusos mind. After understanding the system notification, Caruso immediately took a few steps forward and respectfully received the letter in Principal Sellas hand. Then, he took a step back and sincerely bowed to thank him. It could be said that if Principal Sella had any selfish motives, he would have to study in this school for a very long time. It could also be explained with Principal Sellas words that he definitely wouldnt learn much in this school. Because this platform wasnt big enough, his talent and aptitude wouldnt be able to be displayed. Therefore, under such circumstances, Principal Sellas actions were undoubtedly of great help to Caruso. It was only natural for him to thank him. Good child, I hope that when I go to the imperial capital, Ill be able to see you truly grow up in the imperial capitals magic academy! After saying that, he gently moved his hand, and the door was opened. A ray of sunlight was also cast in. Go, child! After the door was opened, Sella once again said goodbye. Chapter 36 - Shock of the Higher-Ups from Holy Orchid Academy! Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL Although the two of them had not known each other for long, Sellas attitude towards him was just like how he treated his own child. Incomparably benevolent. Thank you, Principal Sella. Similarly, as they were leaving, Caruso once again left with a heart full of gratitude. Following his departure, not long after, a few people walked into the room. Principal Sella, there are only three months left before the competition. Are you sure you want to give up on such a good talent? Yes, Principal Sella, why dont I go after him now? Let him go to the imperial capital after three months? Yes, yes, yes! Even if I have to personally send him off! The few of them immediately spoke after they entered the room. Principal Sella shook his head slightly at the words of these few people. He sighed and said, We cant afford to delay this peerless genius! Although the fire element with full attributes is very powerful, it shouldnt be comparable to the word peerless, right? Thats right. The Yass Empire alone has at least a hundred geniuses with full elemental talent. Although they will at least be at the level of a grand archmagus in the future Principal, arent you exaggerating a little? When they heard the principals words, they immediately became curious and asked back one by one. Didnt you notice that theres more than one element in his body? Just as everyone was talking nonstop, Principal Sellas words were like the hands of a demon, strangling their throats. They were so stunned that they couldnt say a word. Principal Sella you youre not joking, right? This smile Its not very funny, Principal Sella. Oh god! How How is this possible? After Principal Sella finished speaking, the other teachers in the hall were shocked. They could not believe it and started mumbling. But Principal Sella did not say it just to say it to these people. As a grand magi of the water element, Sella was not considered strong even among mages. However, he was still very sensitive to the fluctuations of water magic. In the beginning, Sella did not notice anything at all. After Caruso came to his room, he suddenly felt that there was a slight fluctuation of the aura of water magic coming from his body. Although this fluctuation flashed for a moment, Sella still caught it clearly. Water and fire dual element magic talent! This was simply a monster. In the beginning, when Sella brought him to the room, he did have the idea of letting Caruso stay in the school for three months before leaving. After all, the competition was about to begin. But, after discovering the hidden talent of the other party, he decisively gave up this idea. The reason was very simple. With Carusos talent, he could say that within ten years, he would definitely be able to spread his name throughout the world. Therefore, every dayeven every hourwas very important. Here, it was to cover the treasure with dust. Of course, Sella had a selfish motive. This selfish motive was to bet that Caruso would recognize him after he achieved something big in the future. Perhaps the help this time would have unexpected benefits in the future. Sella did not guess wrongly. A few years later, when Caruso became the youngest saint magi in the world, he personally came to the Holy Orchid Academy. However, that was a matter for later, so he did not mention it for the time being. After leaving the Holy Orchid Magic Academy that day, he quickly arrived at the entrance of the town. Before this, he only cared about reading the recommendation letter and chatting with Sella. Therefore, he didnt ask how to get to the Imperial City. On the way, he asked a few people, but these people were mostly ordinary civilians. They didnt know where the Imperial City was. Therefore, Caruso went to the city gate to look for Deluca. As the guard of the town, Deluca definitely knew more than the civilians. Moreover, even if he didnt know, he could still find a way to ask. It was much better than Caruso running around like a headless fly. Deluca. Not long after, Caruso arrived at the city gate. When he arrived here, he immediately saw Deluca, who was checking the people passing by. Sir Sir Mage, why are you here? Deluca saw Caruso suddenly appear behind him and immediately felt strange. Logically speaking, shouldnt the other party take the assessment in the academy? Could it be that he failed the test? Principal Sella recommended me to study at the Imperial Academy, but I dont know how to get there, so I came to ask you about it, Caruso said directly to Delucas words, not hiding anything. Imperial Imperial Imperial Academy? Imperial Academy! Deluca was obviously shocked by Carusos words. He was not a mage but, as someone of a higher rank than a commoner, Deluca knew something about these things. People are divided into three, six, nine, and so are the schools of magic. If the Holy Orchid Academy is every Holy Orchid City jurisdiction of the people all want to go to the academy. So, the magic academy in the imperial capital is a place where all the mages of the Yass Empire want to go. In fact, many students from other empires would come to the Yass Empires Imperial Magic Academy because of their fame. There were also some powerful magical beasts and elves that rushed into a human-shaped metal body to secretly come to the Imperial Academy to study. Chapter 37 - Bar Koth! Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL And all of this was because the Imperial Academy had too many secrets. The Imperial Academy had been established for 3,000 years. In these 3,000 years, who knew how many powerful mages had come out of it. According to statistics, the Imperial Academy had nurtured a total of 100 holy saint magi in the past 1,000 years. As for magi and grand archmagi, there were countless of them. It could be said that those who could enter the Imperial Magic Academy had almost half a foot in the realm of magi. Why? Because, for those who graduated from the Imperial Magic Academy, the ones who had the worst of it were high-level magi. And what was the concept of a high-level magus? For example, the city lord of Holy Orchid City was probably only at the realm of magi. Perhaps he was still at the realm of low-level magi. In other words, as long as one graduated from the Imperial Magic Academy, he or she would be at least the city lord of the same place and have jurisdiction over a million people. Of course, the graduation rate of the Imperial Magic Academy was not as exaggerated as that of the diploma mill Caruso attended in the city. In the Imperial Magic Academy, the average annual graduation rate was 50%. On average, out of 100 people, only 50 people could successfully graduate. This was also why it was said that half a foot into the magi realm. Because once they did not graduate, it would be a waste of time. But regardless of whether Caruso could graduate, in Delucas eyes, Caruso was like a god. Even if Caruso was only a grand mage in the future, he would still be a proper noble. This was not something he could offend. For this reason very quickly, Deluca replied courteously, Respected Mage, if you are going to the Imperial City, I suggest that you make a trip to the Chamber of Commerce. There are often caravans going to the Imperial City. As long as you pay a small fee, you can get on their car and go to the Imperial City with them! In a bar in Holy Orchid City. A few fat old men with goatees were drinking the cheap barley wine with flushed faces. They were chatting about some interesting things while drinking. At the bar counter, a middle-aged thin man who looked smart was looking at the sexy woman who was mixing wine in front of him. He was holding an ordinary glass of wine with his middle finger and thumb, teasing her with a slightly tipsy face. Lunas, Ive only seen two beautiful girls like you in my life. One of them is my mother and the other is my ex-girlfriend who broke my heart. The smart man pretended to be drunk as if he was revealing his true feelings. After saying this, he immediately put down the glass in his hand and grabbed the other persons small hand. Tears started to appear in his eyes. For Koth, this was his usual method of picking up girls. It worked almost every time. Even if he failed, the other party would not do anything to humiliate him. As expected, when he made this move, the sexy bartender immediately became a little flustered. Her body trembled a little but, seeing the other partys sincere expression, she did not directly reject the other partys move. Women were all emotional, even when they spent a lot of time in bars. They were more or less interested in men who had stories. Excuse me, are you Mr. Koth? At this moment, a discordant voice broke the lingering scene. The person who spoke was none other than Caruso, who had gotten the news from Deluca. After asking around, he went to the towns Chamber of Commerce to ask around. After asking around, he learned that there was a caravan going to the imperial capital the next day. This caravan was in the charge of a merchant named Koth, so if he wanted to go with them, he had to find this person. After asking around, he learned that Koth was a person who valued wine more than his life. Recently, he had fallen in love with a bartender in a bar, so if he wanted to find him, he could just go to the bar and find him. When Caruso came here, because it was noon, there were not many people drinking. Excluding the few drunkards over there, Caruso immediately set his eyes on Koth, who was in front of a sexy woman. Not paying attention to what the other party was doing, Caruso went up and began to ask. When Koth heard someone calling him, he glanced at it and found that it was a little kid. He was instantly a little unhappy. However, in the future, he would be able to gain the good impression of the bartender. He suppressed his temper and pretended not to hear it. He grabbed the other partys hand tightly, wanting to continue his next move. Hello, get me a glass of ordinary fruit wine please. As a mage with a strong spirit, Caruso had seen it with his own eyes when he glanced at him. However, when he saw that the other party was not going to pay attention to him, he immediately shouted at the bartender. The bartender was already very embarrassed. When she heard Carusos words, she immediately nodded with a blushing face. Then, she quickly pulled out her hand that was grabbed by Koth and prepared to make a drink for Caruso. Kid, if you dont give me a satisfactory explanation, I will definitely teach you a good lesson on behalf of your parents. After the scene that Caruso had spent a few hours in entirety to cultivate was ruined by Caruso He turned around and waited for Caruso. After saying this, he turned around and drank the last bit of fruit wine left in the glass. Mr. Koth, I want to go to the capital with you. Ive asked around about the price. Here are five gold coins. If it was not because he had a mission, Caruso would not have said any more nonsense to this lecherous guy. Chapter 38 - Death-Seeking Koth! Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL But at the moment, only the other party could take him to the imperial capital as soon as possible. For this, he indifferently took out five gold coins and finished his sentence. Im sorry, the price has increased. Now its ten gold coins. After Caruso took out the money, Koth glanced at the five gold coins scattered on the table. Then, his five fingers lightly tapped on the wooden bar counter and answered abruptly. In Koths eyes, Caruso was just an ordinary youth. He had never thought that the other party would be a mage. It was very simple. If a mage wanted to go to the Imperial City, not only did they not need to spend money but the caravan would also spend money to travel with the other party. After all, the caravan would encounter many dangers along the way. If there was a mage in the caravan, it would increase the safety of the caravan. As for the people who gave them money, almost all of them were civilians or the owners of some shops. They were prepared to go to the Imperial City to buy some goods to sell. Caruso did not know the situation inside. Deluca did not know that the strength of Caruso had far surpassed the level of an apprentice mage. In his eyes, Caruso was probably a four or five-star apprentice mage. Therefore, under such circumstances, the caravans would usually collect money, but some small caravans would not collect money. Deluca did not dare to guarantee, so he could only say the worst. In fact, with Carusos current strength, even if he encountered a low-level third-tier magic beast, he could still stand with it. Below the level of a grand mage, Caruso was not afraid of anyone. Once Caruso broke through to the level of a mage, even if a grand mage came, he would still have to stand and take a beating. After awakening the source of mana, the torrent of magic would be enough to drown anyone! It was simply like a human-shaped moving magic cannon! No matter how powerful you are, as long as I throw my magic crazily, lets see who will have the last laugh. Therefore, under this level of strength, if Koth knew, not only would Caruso give him five gold coins but he would also want to give the other party ten gold coins. With such a powerful mage here, the journey would definitely be extremely safe. Sir Caruso? At this moment, an unfamiliar voice sounded behind Caruso. After hearing this voice, Koth and Caruso both turned their heads to look. With one look, he found an input. The familiar person was none other than one of the two instructors for todays assessment. When the instructor saw Carusos back at the bar, he did not react immediately. However, the more he looked, the more he felt that he was too similar to the genius who shocked the entire crowd today. Therefore, he cautiously greeted him. When he saw Caruso turn around, he became excited and quickly walked over, extremely attentive. Sir Caruso, I didnt expect it to really be you. As a genius who shocked everyone and even attracted the principal, a mere instructor naturally had to curry favor with him. Therefore, he addressed him as you instead of you.1 Sir, this this is Koth, who was originally prepared to make things difficult for Caruso when he saw a mage dressed in a high-grade magic robe fawning over Caruso so attentively, Koth was instantly dumbfounded. After being dumbfounded, he asked in a trembling voice. At this moment, he even wanted to die. Sir Caruso is the once-in-a-century genius student of my Holy Orchid Academy. May I know who you are? When the assessment tutor heard what Koth said, he looked at the other party with his nose up and slowly began to introduce him. In this world where the hierarchy was strict. The arrogance of a mage was simply described as extreme. If Koth had been a mage, perhaps the attitude of the tutor would be better. However, towards this kind of merchant, the instructor chuckled. Honorable Honorable Sir Caruso I I Tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, I will wait for you at the city gate and reserve a single carriage for you. After hearing the instructors words, Koth sucked in a breath of cold air. His feet trembled slightly and he felt as if he was going to fall down in the next second. After forcefully suppressing the fear in his heart, he stammered out these words and was hurriedly scared away. What a joke, a once-in-a-century genius student of Holy Orchid Academy? Who was that person? In the next few years at most, once he graduated, he would become a lord-level noble. If the other party hated him, in a few yearsin the next secondhe would be able to make him unable to continue living. In fact, he might not even see the sun tomorrow. In the Yass Empireno, it should be said that on this continent. But there was a clear law. Offending a noble mage was punishable by death. No matter who was right or wrong, as long as they offended, they would be punished. As for if it was a mages own problem, then naturally there would be people from the Mage Guild to deal with it, not the local people. And this was one of the many privileges of a mage. After Koth left, Caruso also bowed slightly to the tutor to thank him. He knew that the other party had obviously noticed that the situation was a little tricky after seeing him, so he immediately helped him solve this difficult problem. Regarding this matter, of course, Caruso had to thank him. After thanking him, the two of them chatted for a while. Caruso also inquired about some matters regarding the Imperial Academy. Through asking, he also learned a little about Imperial Academy. Chapter 39 - The Colorful World! Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL The Imperial Academy usually had to meet certain conditions to recruit students. There were a total of three conditions. As long as one met one of them, one could enter the Imperial Academy. The first condition was that ones strength was above the level of a ten-star grand mage, and ones age was not more than 30 years old. And this condition was also the easiest one. The second condition was that ones talent was extraordinary, regardless of age or realm. The third condition was that one was a marquis, a direct descendant of a marquis or above, or a merchants son or daughter who had donated tens of millions of gold coins to the Yass Imperial Academy. Under these three conditions, each one was simply more exaggerated than the other. At first, Caruso thought that the first condition was the most terrifying but, after looking at the second and third condition, he no longer thought so The second condition was still vague and he did not know the exact location. But the third condition simply told the world how high the entrance requirements of the Imperial Academy were. According to the Yass Empires nobility registration, duke was first, marquis was second, the count was third, viscount was fourth, and baron was the worst. Generally, only a few founding ministers could inherit the title of duke. As for the marquis, only those who had made countless contributions to the empire could obtain it. In the entire Yass Empire, there were absolutely no more than a hundred marquises. Although they were hereditary, the number had always been this small. Immediately after, they donated ten million gold coins. How much of a wealthy consortium could do this? One gold coin was enough to live another few months, and ten thousand gold coins were enough to buy the best house in Holy Orchid City. One million gold coins were almost half of Holy Orchid Citys financial income. As for ten million gold coins, even Holy Orchid City would need a few years to earn it. Therefore, under this concept of exchange, one could ask how harsh the conditions were. However, no matter how harsh the conditions were, there were many nobles who donated ten million gold coins over the past hundred years. Their goal was to let their children enter the academy to learn magic. Regarding this, Caruso didnt know what else to do other than ridicule. After asking about this information, the Imperial Academy had already attracted Carusos attention. He really wanted to know what was hidden within such an academy? Otherwise, why would so many people want to enter? Moreover, it was also worth it. He couldnt delay any longer. One year later, all the humans would enter this world. At that time, his advantage would obviously be insufficient. He wanted to strive to become the person who dominated this world within this one year. He wanted to stand on the stage of this world with the strongest stance, regardless of whether it was aimed at the future players or the original world. Three days later. As the carriage gradually slowed down. Caruso had already successfully taken the Koth Caravans carriage and arrived at the imperial capital. During these three days, because of Carusos command to speed up, Koth crazily chased away the horses that were pulling the goods. As a result, the journey, which originally only required five days, only took three days to arrive. While they arrived, they also encountered many magical beasts. The most powerful one was a low-level tier 3 fire-type magical beast, the two-headed fox. After a series of crazy operations, Carusos extreme speed shocked all those who were prepared to die. Normally, even a grand mage would need some time to deal with a low-level tier 3 magical beast. However, in Carusos hands, a tier 3 magic beast was like an ordinary small animal. It was crushed by the crazy magic until it was completely unable to fight back. In the end, it was blasted to death by the magic. After experiencing this scene, every time he thought about how he wanted to bully Caruso previously, he would break out in a cold sweat. Therefore, along the way, he was like a slave, taking care of Carusos daily life very carefully. He was afraid that if he angered Caruso, he would be blasted to death by his magic. Even when he went to the toilet, Koth would personally bring a few boards to support him. This kind of treatment was almost no different from an emperors trip in ancient times. After arriving at the Imperial City, he thanked Koth. Koth hurriedly took out a money bag filled with an astonishing thirty gold coins from his pocket and handed it to Caruso. Originally, Caruso didnt want it but, considering that this was the imperial city, the future expenses would definitely be particularly high. What if he needed money and didnt have it? Thus, he nodded his head and accepted the money, and promised to help him once in the future. After a meaningless verbal promise was made, Koth was as excited as if he had won five million. Respected Young Master Caruso, take care! Soon, as Caruso turned around and left for the bustling Imperial City, Koth also waved his hand and shouted. After shouting, he looked forward to the time when he would meet Caruso respectfully again. After all, when they met again, Caruso would definitely have become a powerful mage. When that time came, if he were to casually congratulate Caruso with a little respect, his status would immediately be much higher. The imperial capital was located in the central area of the Yass Empire. Four tall and strict city walls protected all the residents in the city. There were patrolling guards everywhere, carrying heavy steel weapons, wearing armor, and carrying swords. Those who could become the patrolling guards of the Imperial City could not be compared to the guards of Holy Orchid City. Those who could become guards here were all at the beginner level. Everyone did not say that they were very strong but, against some ordinary people, one could fight more than ten of them. Knights were a class below mages. In this world that worshipped mages, there was not only one class. But only mages were worshipped. For example, knights who were guards were considered warriors. They gathered their combat aura and cast some low-level tier 5 spells to protect their homes. Of course, there were also powerful knights who guarded one side. If a low-level mage was actually fighting against a knight, the mage would be at a slight disadvantage. This was because a knight wearing armor would still have some resistance against some level-1 spells. Once a knight came in front of a mage, it would be a nightmare for a mage who was good at long-distance battles, However, this was only the early stage. Once a grand mage learned teleportation and learned some powerful magic. Even if it was against an intermediate mage or a high-level mage, they would be able to defeat them in a minute. In terms of class, mages probably had no opponents in the entire continent. To use a phrase to describe it, all classes were low-grade, and only mages were high-grade. Other than knights, there were many other jobs. For example, rangers were good at setting traps and using bows. Most of them were magical beast hunters. For example, alchemists who learned how to make strange things. They loved to invent things and often made magic tools with powerful functions. There was another job that was not inferior to mages, and that was pharmacists. Pharmacists used medicinal herbs to brew potions with different attributes. There were potions that could increase attributes, potions that could make a mage go berserk in an instant, and potions that could speed up the user. There were also dwarves, who seemed to be born as a race for weapons. Who knew how many precious weapons they had made from their hands? Even powerful mages and noble nobles who wanted to obtain a powerful weapon They had to beg these dwarven masters to forge it. Along the way, Caruso had already learned countless things about this world from Koth. In the past, he thought that this world was just a simple magical world. Other than magic, there were only magical beasts. After understanding it, he knew that this world was not as simple as he thought. There were all kinds of professions; all kinds of people and races. Most importantly, among these professions, pharmacists were rare. Generally, some developed towns only had one primary pharmacist, followed by the dwarves. The dwarves were so rare that they could not be more rare there were only about a dozen dwarves among the tens of millions of people in the Imperial City. This was because the dwarves did not like to communicate with other races. If it was not for the need to earn money to buy food, they would only like to hide in the mines and excitedly forge peerless weapons. There were also many strange races and professions that existed in this nature and would never appear. For example, the mysterious elf race and the wizard race. This was a wonderful world. A true Otherworld! Chapter 40 - Take Part in the Assessment! Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL After arriving at the imperial capital, Caruso didnt immediately head to the Imperial Magic Academy. Instead, he wandered around like a curious baby. The bustling imperial capital wasnt something Holy Orchid City could compare to. There were all kinds of shops, all kinds of fields, and all kinds of commercial streets everywhere. There was a huge auction venue and the entrance was crowded with people waiting to see the next auctioned item. There were lively restaurants and beautiful girls dressed like waitresses were enthusiastically attracting customers at the entrance. There was also a quiet Mage Guild, which was extremely mysterious. Occasionally, a few mages dressed in luxurious mage robes would walk out. There was also a place that was similar to a bar. Inside and outside, there were burly knights dressed in armor, all looking at the bounties hanging at the entrance. There were merchants selling all kinds of strange items on the streets. Along the way, they would occasionally see carriages filled with cages. In the cages, there were slaves and magical beast cubs. There was a goateed slave trader from a foreign land shouting loudly. After strolling for a full hour, Caruso seemed to have opened up a new world. He was shocked by the bustling scene in front of him. After being shocked, he quickly found out the location of the Imperial Academy. After finding out the location, he quickly rushed over. Because this period of time happened to be the recruitment day for all the magic academies in the Yass Empire. In another week, the recruitment day would end. If he missed it, he would have to wait another year. The Imperial City was several times bigger than Holy Orchid City. After running for two hours, Caruso finally arrived at the Imperial Academy, panting heavily. After arriving at the Imperial Academy, Caruso was shocked by the scenery at the entrance of the academy. Not far away, a huge castle stood in the middle. In front of him was a large area of grassy land. There was a bench for pedestrians to rest on the side of the road. The castle walls were built of red bricks. The triangular roof had a chimney tube. It was like a city within a city. It gave people the feeling that they had entered a fairytale world. Especially the buildings at the Academys entrance. It was not an exaggeration to describe them as glittering. Similarly, after admiring the academy, Caruso quickly approached the academys entrance. When he arrived at the gate of the academy, there were already many youths around his age gathered at the gate. When everyone entered, it was as if they had gone through a security check. One by one, they were screened in. Name! Caruso! Family None. This is your assessment token. Next! In less than ten minutes, a young man dressed in a magic robe asked a few questions without even raising his head. After asking, he gently waved the magic staff in his hand and, soon, a crystal bottle was made. There were a few words carved on the crystal plate. Ping: Number 1541. Holding the crystal plate, Caruso was a little confused. Hello, Sir, I am Next in line! Looking at the crystal plate, Caruso was about to tell the other party that he was a student recommended by Principal Sella and wanted to find a teacher of the academy, but the other party coldly said three words and didnt say anything else. Seeing the other partys attitude, Carusos gaze turned cold. He then walked into the magic academy. The Imperial Magic Academys assessment location was much grander than the Holy Orchid City Academys assessment location. Among the thousands of buildings, there was a palace with the assessment area hanging on it. There were many students waiting to enter at the entrance. Seeing this, Caruso also followed the people who were there and entered. After entering, the large palace was divided into several assessment sites. Each assessment site was managed by three instructors wearing mage robes. However, even so, there were still too many people in the palace. After all, there were only three assessment sites for over a thousand examinees. The efficiency was really slow. Why are you squeezing? Wow, can you guys not squeeze? If you guys dont squeeze, itll be too late. There are still two to three hours before todays assessment time ends. Yeah, Ive waited in line for a full three hours. If its not my turn, Ill have to waste another day. Very soon, the students in line began to curse and ridicule. When Caruso saw this situation, he shook his head helplessly and followed the crowd to line up. Age 28, 6-star grand mage, intermediate water magic talent, intermediate perceptive sense. Unqualified! Age 31, 10-star grand mage, intermediate wood magic talent, intermediate perceptive sense. Unqualified! Age 22, 7-star mage, advanced wind magic talent, intermediate perceptive sense. Qualified! Age 18, 1-star mage, advanced fire magic talent, advanced perceptive sense. Qualified! Not long after, a teacher at a test site reported the results of each candidate. After reporting the results, some people were happy, some were depressed, and some were in pain. Of course, most people were still depressed and silent. Compared to the other academies, the recruitment conditions of the Imperial Magic Academy were simply abnormal. First of all, if a mage under the age of 30 reached the level of a ten-star grand mage, then they would be considered to have passed. This point directly passed countless people on the field. After all, a mage who reached the level of a grand mage at the age of 30 was definitely a genius among geniuses. Secondly, if a mage under the age of 30 could reach the level of dual advanced magic talent and perception, then they would also be able to pass the level. If they were over the age of 30, then even if they had advanced magic talent and advanced perception, it would be useless. So, under this condition, its almost one out of hundreds of people that passed. Chapter 41 - Flaric Ella Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL One had to know that anyone who could come here to take the test, as long as they did not come to the Imperial Academy of Magic, would be considered a genius. However, even such a genius would not be able to pass the test here. Time passed slowly with each notification. Among them, there was a ten-star mage who had just turned thirty a day ago. Because he had been detected to be older than his age, he was immediately enraged after being rejected. The outcome of his rage was easily taken care of by a few magi. After being beaten half to death, he was thrown out of the school gate by some guards. This scene had an extremely strong deterrent force. As if it was a warning to everyone not to act recklessly. After this matter was managed, everyone quickly became more well-behaved and the scene became silent. After a full hour, the group in front of Caruso was completely gone. It was as if they were waiting for someone to be them. Seeing that the exam was about to arrive, Caruso became expectant. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. Respected Sir Chris, Respected Princess Corina, welcome to the Imperial Academy of Magic! After this voice was heard, everyone looked over. They saw a noble and elegant woman wearing gorgeous clothes, revealing a pair of slender white legs, walking step by step towards the exam site. Next to her stood a more refined prince, whose appearance alone gave people a sense of nobility. They walked together. The two of them were like ten thousand rays of light, shining on the palace where the assessment was taking place, causing envy and inferiority to appear on the faces of most people. Who are they? It was the first time Caruso had seen a real noble. He was immediately surprised by the appearance of the other party and asked in a whisper. Them? One is the son of the Marquis Cuba family, named Cuba Chris, and the other is the Kings youngest daughter, Corina. It can be said that both of them are nobles among nobles. We just need to take a look and dont have any thoughts. What we didnt expect was how the two of them walked together. After Carusos question came out, a fat little man stood beside him. After the fat little man finished speaking, he spoke with a confused expression. Hearing the little fattys words, Caruso couldnt help but look at him. The reason why he looked at this person was that, from the way he spoke, it was obvious that this person was someone with a great background. When this little fatty saw Caruso looking at him, he immediately said gently, My name is Ella. Why dont they have to queue? Yeah, even nobles have to queue up, right? Thats not how privileges are used, right? When the little fatty introduced himself, there was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that Chris and Corina had actually ignored the crowd and walked step by step to the assessment site to begin the assessment. Quiet! While the crowd was in a commotion, a teacher slowly used the butt of a wooden magic staff to hit the ground and immediately berated. With this admonishment, no one dared to say anything else. Without daring to say anything else, the instructor who was about to test Caruso initially thought that the two nobles would not come to him, so he immediately read the list of names on the test. Next, Caru Princess Corina, please! Before he finished reading, Chris arrived at Carusos test site in a gentlemanly manner and extended his right hand. Princess Corina nodded and was about to start the assessment. Caruso took a step forward and did not intend to tolerate it. He said to his mentor, Greetings, Respected Mentor. I am Caruso. After he finished speaking, he was about to place his hand on Caruso and start the assessment. Push it away! At this moment, Chris looked at Caruso with an extremely cold gaze. He shouted these words in an abnormally cold manner. It seems that the once glorious Cuba family has become proud of bullying the commoners. As Chris finished his sentence, the little fatty who was standing next to Caruso walked out and teased him. This teasing made Chris, who was already extremely angry, even angrier. How could the red-faced Chris endure such humiliation? Especially when he locked his gaze on the speaker, he became even angrier. Because this person, he could not afford to offend! Ella, these two syllables were extremely common in the entire world. One could easily find a few hundred people on the streets and there would be someone called Ella. However, his full name had an extraordinary meaning. Flaric Ella, the third generation of the Flaric familys most favored child. And Flarics five letters, what did they symbolize in the entire Yass Empire? It symbolized wealth. Thats right, little fatty Ella was different from ordinary people. Others relied on their strength to enter the academy, while he relied on spending money. Actually, his talent wasnt bad either. If he took the test himself, he would be able to pass it. After all, he had accumulated all sorts of genius numinous treasures since he was young. How couldnt he pass the test? However, his father, that father who didnt care about money, had to spend money in order for him to enjoy better treatment in the academy. After sponsoring the academy for a total of ten million gold coins, he had asked Ella to report to the academy. However, Ella was a person with a backbone. He said that he had to rely on his own talent to prove his strength. Of course, if he didnt pass the test, he would pretend that he hadnt taken the test. Anyway, the name used for the registration was a fake name, so he didnt care at all. Chapter 42 - Princess is Also a Peerless Genius!”! Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL The reason why he had come against Chris was very simple. Chris was the son of one of the few marquises in the Yass Empire. Similarly, his family was the unfathomable Cuba family. Their greedy appearance was really too ugly. They had locked up a batch of important goods of Ellas family, preventing the other party from passing through. This caused Ellas family to pay three times the price and take a huge detour before the transportation was successful. This caused the originally profitable business to become a loss-making business. How could the people of the Flaric family not be angry? As the third-generation descendant and the future heir of the family, Ella naturally hated Chriss Cuba family. Now that he saw that the other party actually bullied Caruso, he couldnt help but start mocking. Do I need you to take care of my matters? And why are you here? Didnt your father spend ten million gold coins to sponsor you to enter the school? Do you want to see how bad your talent is? Honestly, Ella, I suggest you go back and take care of the wealth of your family. Dont embarrass yourself! Although Chris knew that he couldnt afford to offend this guy, it didnt mean that he didnt dare to ridicule this guy in return. When he said this, it really hurt Ellas young self-esteem. He grew up in an extremely wealthy family, so everything would be automatically labeled as wealth by others. No matter what he did, others evaluation was that his family was rich. For example, why did he have to pass the test with his own strength? His goal was to prove that he could leave his familys wealth. But now, Chriss words were undoubtedly saying, You should just go and be a rich man, trash!! I dont need you to worry about my talent. However, if everyone in the Yass Empire talks about the respected Cuba familys Chris, the son of the Marquis, bullying a commoner I think this will be a very hot topic. Oh right, if I add one more thing, the son of the Marquis has extremely poor talent and entered the magic academy by relying on his connections, that would be even more fun. Since the other party had already said that his talent was bad, Ella would also turn around and mock him for being bad. Anyway, the topic was all groundless stuff. No one knew whether it was true or not. With Ellas family, a large number of people would help him create this news with just a little money. As expected, when he finished saying this, Chris immediately gritted his teeth. The Flaric family was already rich, so his talent was secondary. If he made such news, no one would care at all. After all, a guy who was so rich that he was even richer than the king, what kind of damn talent did he need? With a single throw of gold coins, countless powerhouses would be willing to follow him. And as the son of a marquis, it would be a great insult if his talent was extremely bad. Do you think everyone is the same as you? Chris did not know how to fight back. In the end, he simply shouted. He did not care who was around him. He wanted to clarify his talent immediately. For this reason, after saying this, he went straight to the place where the assessment was taking place. He did not even greet his mentor. He immediately placed his hand on the crystal ball. In less than ten seconds, the crystal ball suddenly erupted with a burst of green light that flickered within the entire crystal ball. It covered the entire crystal ball in an instant. Wind element full full of talent? After the flashing of the light ended, the instructor in charge of the assessment immediately cried out in surprise. With this cry, almost all the people in the audience turned their gazes to this place. Almost all of their faces were filled with shock and deep envy. Ha! Seeing everyones gazes and expressions, Chris did not stop there. He raised the corner of his mouth and, in an instant, a burst of red light flickered within the crystal ball. Dual! Dual attributes? Wind and fire dual attributes. Full talent? Genius! Super Genius! This as expected of the Marquis son, as expected of the Cuba familys descendant, this is simply too unbelievable! What? Dual attributes! Wind and fire dual attributes, this he he After seeing Chriss dual attributes burst forth, everyone presentincluding the teacherwas shocked. Of course, other than Carusos calm expression and Ellas displeased expression, everyone else was stunned. But Chris didnt seem to have finished his performance. After testing his attributes twice, he placed his hand on another crystal ball to test his sensing ability. After putting it down, he didnt disappoint everyones expectations. High-grade sensing ability! Wind element full of talent, fire element full of talent, and high-grade sensing ability. With such talent, even in the entire Academy of Magic for a hundred years, there were less than five hundred people who had such a powerful talent. One had to know that for a few hundred years, the Imperial Academy of Magic had only admitted one thousand students every year. That was to say, among nearly one million people, there were only five hundred people. The students who could enter the Imperial Academy of Magic were one in ten thousand. And for someone with such talent, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was one in a hundred. With such talent, in less than thirty years, he would definitely be the future ruler of an area. Originally, Ella did not care about Chris. After all, his family was rich. But seeing that the other party actually had talent, he already had a faint thought of admitting defeat. It was very simple. In a few decades, if the other party really became a saint-level mage, then no matter how rich his family was, they would still be trash in front of the other party. A world where one was powerful enough to dominate everything was not something that money could solve. Whats so great about it? Thank you for bestowing us with such a powerful genius! Sir Chris, please be sure to enter our academy. Sir Chris, we will report this matter to the higher-ups of the school and let them decide on your learning plan. We will also let you select your own teachers! What was a genius? A genius was someone who could receive special privileges and respect wherever he went. After Chris displayed his talent, the few teachers immediately began to exclaim in admiration. Especially when he said that he would randomly let Chris choose his teachers, everyone became even more envious. Everyone knew that there were countless mighty figures hidden in the Imperial Magic Academy. Even legendary figures might be able to stay in the academy. If they were able to choose at will, or if they were led into the academy by some super big shot, they would definitely have a meteoric rise in the future. Chriss family was extremely powerful. In addition to his handsome appearance and extremely strong talent, he was practically a tall, rich, and handsome person from another world. When this situation was added together, the youths who participated in the assessment were not only envious but also wildly jealous. Princess Corina, please! After displaying his talent, Chris once again gentlemanly let the princess behind him take the assessment. Princess Corina looked calm, as if she was not interested in Chriss talent. Her whole body was like an iceberg, without any emotion. If it were not for the fact that her breasts were exposed and her hands were like jade roots, it would be fascinating. No one would take another look at her. No matter the men of any era, almost no one would like an iceberg. This feeling was simply challenging a mans limits of tolerance. Moreover, after Chris finished speaking, Princess Corina ignored Carusos thoughts and the situation at the scene. She directly put her hand on it. If it was three minutes ago, Caruso would definitely not tolerate it. However, now, not only would he tolerate it, but he would also quietly wait. Because he wanted to slap these peoples faces hard and show them what a genius was! Princess Corina slowly placed her whisper-thin fingers on the crystal ball. Her pair of soul-stirring eyes exuded a sense of calmness. Just like the crystal ball at this moment, there was no change at all. But in the next second, the crystal ball was suddenly filled with white fog. The white mist was extremely dense and, in the blink of an eye, it condensed into snowflakes that formed cracks and stuck to the inside of the crystal ball. Ice ice attribute! What? The ice attribute of the three special attributes? This King Yasss daughter is actually so powerful. This kind of talent is extremely rare, and its filled with talent When they saw this scene, the first to react were the instructors. The instructors had used the crystal ball for many years and had long memorized the various reactions displayed on the crystal ball. Regarding the display of this strange phenomenon, they knew in the blink of an eye that this was the talent of the rare attribute ice magic. Not only was it rare, but it was also even completely full with talent. This was simply a monster! However, just as everyone thought that the matter was about to end here, the princess also placed her hands down like Chris, before placing them down again. Very quickly, a wave of blue ripples spread out. The blue light was also emitted in all directions through the crystal ball. Seeing the second color appear, the few instructors could not help but become excited.
