Chapter 21 "Steady" Lucian
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +50]
Lucian looked at the girl with light in her eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
"You are very ambitious." Lucian praised, but he looked at the open space not far away, "But I feel that what you have to do now is to make up for the time just wasted. Otherwise, I will drag you down today. ”
Carly looked at Lucian, who was smiling "kindly" at this moment, and suddenly felt that Lucian's mentor had switched between the divine and the demonic in just one moment.
"Yes..." Carly's voice seemed a little wilted, but she still continued the boring practice honestly.
…
Bang--
As a slight explosion sounded, a ball of light blue "Qiu Qiu Gum" floated in the palm of Carly's right hand.
"Teacher Lucian, I succeeded!" Carly cheered.
However, Lucian did not smile, but looked a little confused. Because the expected system message did not pop up at this time. He was not provided with upgraded knowledge, nor was there any prompt similar to generating a bond.
Lucian couldn't help but bring up Carly's character panel.
[Teaching Progress] Blazing Fire·Modification (90.00%) {Theoretical Teaching: 100%; Practical Teaching: 0%}
"I see. It seems that there are some differences between the teaching of some witchcraft and the teaching of meditation. In addition to mastering witchcraft, a certain amount of practical experience may also be required." Lu Xian felt at ease and immediately smiled.
Actual combat? This is not really a problem.
"Teacher Lucian?" Carly looked at Lucian at this time, with some expectation on her expression.
"Not bad." Lucian looked at Carly and gently rubbed the latter's little head.
[Your student Carly admires you deeply, her admiration value +1]
"But this is not enough." Lucian looked at Carly, whose eyes were not clear at this time, but said lightly.
Carly's little head drooped significantly.
"Because to test whether you have truly mastered a witchcraft, in addition to being able to perform it theoretically, it also needs to be tested in actual combat." Lucian looked at Carly with a smile. "Get ready. Take a good nap at noon to regain your energy. We will pick up a mission in the afternoon and let you test the results in actual combat."
Carly raised her head, but when she looked at Lucian, there was a hint of coquettishness in her words. "Teacher Lucian, did you tease me on purpose just now?"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Lucian argued, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was very obvious.
The mission area and trading area of Ashes Academy have always been the places with the largest flow of people.
"That's it." Lucian looked at the tasks in the task bar, and finally selected a task for Carly that was more suitable for her.
[Collect blood crows]: Hunt 50 adult blood crows (you need to pay the beak of the blood crows as a mission voucher)
[Published by]: Ashbone Academy
[Task Introduction]: Recently, the blood crow population in the northern part of the Ashbone Forest has been over-reproduced, and some of it needs to be paid off to maintain ecological balance.
[Reward] 2 Magic Stones
Although the mission reward is not high, and the need to hunt 50 blood crows, which are famous for their agility, is a time-consuming and laborious task, there is no doubt that the blood crows can be regarded as Carly at the current stage. One of the best "practical teachers".
The blood crow is a low-level monster that lives in the Ashbone Forest. It is a race formed by the cross between the one-eyed crow and ordinary crows. Because he lacks the wisdom to communicate effectively with wizards, he cannot serve as a familiar companion to wizards. However, he is regarded by the academy as a wild supernatural creature (referred to as a monster) guarding the periphery and becomes the "overlord" in the Ashbone Forest.
This gregarious monster has a small target, fast flying speed, and sharp claws and beak. And as monsters, they are born with a kind of sonic magic, which can make people feel sick and uncomfortable. This kind of cry can cause considerable interference to apprentices in constructing witchcraft models. But looking at it from another perspective, if the witchcraft can still be perfectly performed despite the interference of the blood crow, then there will be no problem with this witchcraft in actual combat.
When Lucian took the mission number plate and turned around, he saw Carly who was already ready to move.
"Mentor, should we set off now?" Carly had a hint of unbearable excitement on her face, which was in contrast to the apprentices around her who were accepting tasks for points.
Lucian looked at Carly and glanced under her gray robe that represented her new blood status.
"Let's go, let's buy you some equipment first." Lucian shook his head. The single clothes Carly is wearing now, once she leaves the academy, she probably won't have much defense capability at all, even for weak ones like Blood Crow and Rock Salamander. Monsters may have the ability to threaten Carly's life.
Lucian didn't want to go out and have to look for students again when he came back...
Suddenly, Lucian's expression changed.
It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't seem to have any extra student quota. In other words, if something happens to Carly, there is a high probability that her system will also go down.
"Hiss..." Lucian took a deep breath. He looked at Carly and suddenly felt that the little guy in front of him suddenly became a porcelain doll, fragile!
Moreover, this porcelain doll seems to be ready to die!
Well, I still suggested and encouraged it myself.
Lucian's expression changed again and again, and finally a somewhat classic picture emerged in his heart.
What a sin——
"Teacher Lucian?" Carly's soft call brought Lucian's consciousness back to reality.
He looked down at the porcelain doll...ah, no, it was Carly, and immediately showed a smile. "Carly, let me tell you the first lesson of actual combat in the wild!"
Lucian's sudden serious expression made Carly subconsciously hold her breath and lean back tactically.
"That is, no matter when you go out to fight, you must be fully prepared." Lucian patted Carly on the shoulder, "Only when you are alive can you have output."
Carly blinked.
An hour later.
"Not bad." Lucian looked at Carly, who was much more "steady" at this time, felt a little bit safer in his heart, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
If Carly's small body couldn't support a set of heavy armor, Lucian would have wanted to arrange another set for Carly outside. In his opinion, if little Carly goes out, the best equipment is the "tin can" set of the paladin.
However, since heavy armor cannot be arranged for the time being, Lucian has put a lot of effort into the equipment Carly is wearing now.
This set of alchemical light armor cost him eight magic stones! In terms of defense, it is enough to withstand one or two witchcraft attacks released by the second-level wizard apprentice!
"Teacher..." Carly lowered her head and looked at the light armor on her body, but hesitated to speak. She felt that the first actual battle she was about to start seemed a little different from what she had imagined before.
"Let's go." Lucian patted Carly on the shoulder, and then handed her a strong metal shield.
Carly looked down at the heavy shield in her hand, tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that what Teacher Lucian said was not wrong, but she didn't know why, but she just felt a little weird.
This feeling is especially obvious when seeing the lighter attire of other wizard apprentices.
