This is a [foreign station mission], which literally means going to the outside world to station for a period of time.
There are many types of foreign missions. Some are to go to a nursery to help with farming by applying rain, fertilizing and removing insects, and some are stationed in a key place to prevent attacks by monsters... including the plague treatment that Nasha received before is also a foreign mission.
category.
What Heath received here was [Cooperate with the nobles to manage the territory], which is definitely the most popular type of all foreign missions. After all, staying with the nobles will ensure your basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and your daily work is in
Dealing with nobles in the manor, and occasionally attending two banquets and hunting, it's not too comfortable.
Because of this, when they learned about the content of Heath's mission, Kyle and the others turned red-eyed.
"Hell, Heath, you must be a hidden second-generation witch, right? It must be like this! Tell me, whose true identity is your bloodline? Let me give up this idea!"
"Why? How come you, a guy who has been hospitalized for just a few months, are so lucky!"
"Can good grades really change your destiny? I would have gone for it. If I had known this, I would have been a magic madman!"
Not only was everyone confused, but Heath was also full of questions:
‘Did the budding strategy take effect so quickly? Then the effect must be too good!’
Such tasks are usually assigned to those heirs of wizard families with noble blood, or magical talents with outstanding talents and hard training. After thinking about it, Heath felt that he was slightly related to the second one, and he was still the same.
The little bit.
After all, with his current performance of breaking through the sky, he can only be regarded as a 'prodigy' with considerable public opinion effect. There is still a long way to go before he can truly be used in a big way and needs to be cultivated. Logically speaking, he should not be given such a gift.
The big one is the meat and potatoes.
‘Forget it, I just took advantage of it being delivered to my door, why do I think so much?’ After thinking about it for a while, Heath didn’t have a clue and stopped thinking about it.
Immediately, he began to make preparations.
'Speaking of which, it has been almost half a year since I traveled back in time. Is this the first time I have been to the human world? How are the customs and culture of the other world? Is the food delicious? Is the girl pretty? Are there any interesting projects in the street market...
.'
Involuntarily, Heath also silently looked forward to this mission...
...
A few days later, at the edge of the courtyard forest, at the entrance to the dark forest.
"I didn't expect that the weapon I had been looking for for a long time but could not find, would finally be delivered to my door like this..."
Standing on the lawn, Heath looked at the cross sword in his hand and sighed.
What he held in his hand at the moment was a brand new cross sword. The silver blade had a pattern of lion's claws outlined with thin lines. On both sides of the sword grid were a pair of unfolded wings, and the hilt was engraved with the head of an eagle.
, the overall combination looks like an eagle with lion's claws, the gryphon depicted in the story.
It is also named after this: Wind Eagle!
This is a magic sword that uses the manufacturing process of magic weapons, but does not have magic stones embedded in it. It requires the user's own magic power to activate it. In other words, this is a magic weapon and witch tool that only wizards can use.
"What a smart girl!"
This sword was given to him by Nasha as a 'farewell gift'. To be honest, Heath really admired her. He had wanted to find such a weapon for a long time, but wizard Ma, where can mainstream weapons be made?
In the form of a sword.
After rummaging through the entire academy, including Bard's, she still couldn't find what she was looking for, but she didn't expect that she would be able to get it for him by turning her back, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Same.
"Is she really convinced of me?"
Originally, I didn't plan to have too much contact with this troublesome woman, but I really couldn't refuse a gift that tickled my heart... so...
Comparing the farewell gifts of other apprentices, we can see that Kyle gave him a bottle of 'Flower Fairy's Honey', Victor gave him a singing card, and also gave him a melon...I guess.
Oh, what a mess they were given.
Facts have proved that emotional intelligence is really... so meaningful!
"Isn't it normal for classmates to give a gift? It's just a normal interaction. Don't think too much about it. Didn't I give her a gift before? This is just a return gift..."
"If you think about it carefully, she is a bitch, but for a little girl of this age, it doesn't matter if her vanity is too strong..."
"Even if there is really some conspiracy involved, as long as you don't take advantage of it, isn't it enough? If you don't take advantage of the bastard, why don't you accept the things that are delivered to your door?"
After some hard convincing, Heath accepted the Cross Sword Wind Eagle with peace of mind.
"Try how it works!"
Raising the cross sword, Heath began to inject magic power into it for activation. Immediately, the lion's claw pattern all over the blade lit up with cyan light. At the same time, Heath held the sword in both hands and stepped forward.
The blade cuts out smoothly!
"Whoosh!" A sharp burst of wind exploded, like the high-pitched cry of an eagle when it spreads its wings.
In front of the sword, a wind blade nearly two meters long stood out and slashed forward with unparalleled speed. In an instant, it tore through the air and struck a giant tree ten meters away. There was only a 'click' sound.
With a sound, the tree trunk as thick as a man's thigh broke in the middle.
"What a good thing!" Heath's eyes lit up.
This cross sword has been solidified with an enhanced apprentice-level attack spell [Wind Blade]. The effect is just like this. The effective attack distance can reach up to 15 meters.
"Now the sword energy is really everywhere!"
In the past, those heroes in movies and TV dramas used their swords to kill invisible enemies. The slight flaw was that they were limited by their own magic power and the cooling mechanism of the magic circle. They could not continue to output continuously like heroes.
With his current strength, he can only fire so many times in total, and each time has to be separated by a long period of time.
However, it is more than enough to fight against an opponent with similar strength. There is such a hidden killer move, and it is so exciting to suddenly attack others while fighting... Just thinking about it is exciting.
As for the other things... we will slowly improve them in the future.
"Qiang!"
Withdrawing the cross sword, Heath put aside the matter of the Wind Eagle for the time being.
Immediately, he turned around and looked behind.
On the grass about seven or eight meters behind him, there was a white spider conspicuously lying on the ground motionless, looking very unhappy.
Heath frowned.
He walked over and asked, "What's going on? Didn't we already agree before?"
Chou'er raised his head and danced quickly with his two forelimbs, gesturing at him, and at the same time made a "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak" sound from his mouth, as if he was saying something to him.
It sounds very mysterious, but after spending this time together, Heath found that he could actually understand the meaning of its words.
What it is saying now roughly means: "I don't want to stay in the forest, I want to go with you."
Heath shook his head decisively and said, "No, the academy doesn't allow you to carry magic pets. I told you."
In fact, it is not that you are not allowed to carry magic pets, but that you are not allowed to carry "weird" and "ugly" magic pets. This is because this mission also has a certain nature of promoting beliefs and must be left to the local nobles.
A good impression of wizards and spiders is not so easy for the public to accept...
Chou'er flashed a cold light and waved his sharp blade: "Squeak!"
What it says is: "Cut them down!"
Heath: "..."
He squatted down, reached out and stroked Chou'er's furry hard shell, and said kindly: "Okay, okay, there is nothing interesting in the human world. You can't eat or sleep well if you go there.
There is also the possibility of being treated as a monster and making a lot of noise... Here we have mountains, water, food and plenty of food... I will be back soon... I will be angry if this happens..."
After all the hard talk, he was finally forced to use threats to finally send the little spider into the dark forest.
Seeing the pitiful look of it turning back three times with each step, Heath felt inexplicably a little uncomfortable. In fact, he didn't want to keep Chou'er by his side. Putting aside relieving loneliness, Chou'er's extraordinary combat power would not cause any trouble.
Can be a big help.
But after careful consideration, he finally chose to keep Chou'er. Of course the main reason was that the academy wouldn't let him take him, and besides, Chou'er's current condition was not suitable for taking him out.
Since this evolution, Chou'er's already ridiculous appetite has increased again. Now he has to eat at least the amount of a blue-backed wild boar every day, and the meat must be a monster with rich elements. How can this be put in the human world where elements are rare?
Looking for it?
Not to mention all of this, what’s more important is that Chou’er is not an ordinary demon pet after all. The people who are going together this time are not some stupid apprentices. There are several wizards alone. There are so many people that it’s difficult to see anything.
I noticed something unusual about Chou'er...
That’s a big deal!
As for combat power, helpers and so on... To be honest, Heath's strength has improved significantly after learning black magic. If he really encounters an enemy that he can't defeat now... then bring the ugly one with him.
My son is also given to me for free...
So after much thought, Heath decided to send it into the Black Forest. This is the largest forest around the academy, stretching for nearly a thousand miles. There are countless monsters in it, none of which are wizard-level. In addition, he is afraid of accidents to apprentices and some messy things.
The reason is that this place is also marked as a forbidden forest by the college and no one goes in on weekdays. It is a completely natural dining room for Chou'er, which is perfect.
"Is this the legendary old father's worry?"
With random thoughts in his mind, Heath turned around and walked back. At the same time, he used the power of the contract to give Chou'er an order not to leave the Black Forest. At the moment when the power of the contract took effect——
"Pa!" A soft sound came from the forest.
Chou'er, who was quietly hiding behind a tree trunk and ready to sneak back at any time, sat down on the ground. After trying several times and failing to get out, he angrily waved his claws.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!"
After venting its anger, it looked at the empty woods around it and the disappearance of Heath...
An unprecedented feeling of loneliness swept over my heart.
"squeak!!!"
It opened its mouth wide and raised its head and howled loudly. The voice was so hysterical and heartbroken, like an abandoned child abandoned by his parents in the wilderness...
