Chapter 24 The Magician

As Dorothy ran over.

All I could see was charred remains on the ground.

Of the twelve bandits, none survived.

Elor was sitting in the carriage, waiting idly.

When she saw Dorothy running over, she raised her hand to greet her.

"Oh, little Dorothy, everything has been resolved smoothly."

Elor's expression was as if nothing had happened.

"You solved everything by yourself?"

Dorothy felt that her worries seemed somewhat unnecessary.

Elor pointed to the charcoal on the ground and nodded.

"Or what?"

"So fast?" Dorothy's eyes widened. These were twelve bandits!

Elor spread his hands, somewhat helplessly saying, "What else can I do? I'm a mage, do you expect me to expend much effort dealing with these mortals who have no magic?"

"..."

Dorothy remained silent.

Elor makes a lot of sense.

The existence of magic means that whether it is a warrior or a magician, they can easily defeat ordinary people.

Her worldview needs updating.

Subconsciously, she always believed that robbers were powerful, terrifying, and even murderous.

But they never considered what would happen if the robbers were facing a magician.

Elor brandished his riding whip.

"Hurry up and get in the car, we still have a long way to go before we reach the border."

"oh."

Dorothy responded quietly and got into the carriage.

Elor raised his left hand and aimed it at the tree trunk blocking the carriage.

"Gather together, flames, fireball!"

Elor conjured a fireball in his palm and launched it, striking a tree trunk lying across the road.

With a loud bang, the tree trunk was blown in two.

"drive!"

Elor raised his whip, and the camel pulled the carriage forward.

Dorothy sat down next to Elor, her arms wrapped around West Blade.

Elor turned to look at the silent Dorothy.

"These petty bandits are usually guys who have learned a little bit of skill, want to be adventurers but are afraid of dying. They haven't accumulated much experience in the wild, and they can't even tell that I'm a magician. Coming here to block the road is just courting death."

Dorothy didn't reply, but simply nodded silently.

Although he had saved Elor, Elor's experience as an adventurer was indeed far richer than his own.

Yesterday, the other person said they were a novice adventurer, the kind that's obvious at a glance.

That's very true.

I was a bit stiff when handling things, completely lacking the composure that Elor had.

"Alright, alright. After all, Dorothy, you come from a small village and are still young. You haven't experienced much, so it's normal to be a little flustered when you find yourself being targeted by bandits."

Elor comforted Dorothy.

But at that moment, Dorothy was thinking something else entirely.

Although I'm just a novice adventurer, Elor, you were almost defeated by goblins too!

These words obviously could not be heard by Elor.

Otherwise, the big sister image she was trying so hard to maintain would have collapsed.

"I was just thinking, the difference between having magic and not having it is really huge."

Elor nodded and said, "It is very big."

"In the records of magic, some magicians have studied that it is very difficult for beings with magic power and beings without magic power to produce offspring."

Dorothy was completely stunned when she heard this.

What's going on? Reproductive isolation has actually occurred?

Is this still a species?

Seeing Dorothy's bewildered expression, Elor couldn't help but reach out and pat Dorothy's head.

"And Dorothy, although you are very talented and have learned to use magic perception, it is still very rough. You overlooked the fact that the two bandits did not have magic, and you also failed to judge whether these bandits were strong or weak."

"However, you can learn these skills in the City of Apprentices. You can learn advanced techniques of magic perception, which is also a kind of magic identification."

"After using the identification technique, you can activate your magic perception to determine whether the entity in front of you possesses magic power, and the strength of that magic power."

After hearing what Elor said, Dorothy realized that it was indeed true.

"I will study magic diligently once I arrive in the City of Apprentices."

Then she asked another question.

"When will we reach the City of Apprentices?"

Elor thought for a moment.

"At the current pace, it will take about another month."

One month...

Dorothy looked at her current screen.

Name: Dorothy Cartale

Strength: 29+ (Increases stamina, vitality, endurance, and melee ability)

Agility: 10+ (Increases attack speed, coordination, accuracy, and evasion)

Intelligence: 13+ (Increases magic power, spell damage, and spirit)

Skill: Flowing Water Breathing Technique LV10 (1/100)+

Flowing Water Meditation LV2 (6/20)+

Magic LV10 (3/100)+

Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV10 (1/100)+

Loran Common Language LV3 (8/30)+

Attribute points: 0

Strength has reached 29 points.

Once you've added 30 points, start focusing on adding points to Wisdom.

After all, the focus will be on learning magic from now on.

Wisdom can increase magical power and mental strength, which will definitely help in learning magic.

Once you arrive in the City of Apprentices, you can use your attribute points to improve the magic you've learned and quickly increase your strength.

During the month spent in the City of Apprentices, he mainly practiced meditation to enhance his magical power.

In the blink of an eye, Dorothy had already figured out her next improvement plan.

Five days later, the two arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Soren.

As planned, after adding 30 points to Strength, Dorothy's Intelligence attribute points reached 17.

Dorothy glanced at the scattered guards along the border and took out her identification documents, which she had prepared beforehand.

"Phew~ Finally, we're leaving the Kingdom of Sauron..."

Elor tilted her head.

"What? You're leaving your country, are you reluctant to go?"

"No, I was just making a casual remark." Dorothy shook her head.

How could she possibly be reluctant to leave this place? She had only been here for a month and didn't know many people. How could she expect her to accept that she was a citizen of the Kingdom of Soren?

"I'm just curious to see what the City of Apprentices will be like."

"All right."

The carriages gradually made their way to the border, where long queues formed, mostly consisting of merchant caravans and mercenaries.

Ordinary people won't wander off unless there's an unexpected situation.

As they waited in line, it was eventually their turn.

The guard asked directly, "Where are you going?"

Without saying a word, Elor simply tossed a badge to the guard.

Upon receiving the badge, the guard glanced at it and immediately became respectful.

"So you are the mages from the City of Apprentices. You may proceed directly there."

The guard then presented the badge to Elor with both hands.

The carriage crossed the border directly.

Dorothy remarked with some emotion, "Is being a wizard really that useful? No need to have your carriage checked, no need to pay tolls? Why didn't you use that back in Silverbrook?"

Since the identity of a mage is so useful, they didn't have to wait so long in Silverstream Town.

Elor shook his head.

"This badge of the City of Apprentices can only be used in places like this."

Why?

"Because people in small towns don't know him."

"...I see."
