"I've never seen such a bizarre thing. You mean, Amman died with a blue-scaled fishman prophet before he could teach you any aggressive spells?"

In the tree worshiper's hut, the strong aroma of oatmeal porridge was spreading. Hicks asked while drinking the porridge.

Lance nodded with a wry smile.

The tall tree worshiper muttered a few words, and then said helplessly: "Okay, a newcomer. It seems that I can't do anything except explaining you some key points of Ferrondor this morning."

Lance immediately drank all the oatmeal porridge in the bowl and looked at Hicks attentively.

But Hicks said honestly and unceremoniously: "Thank you for patronizing, a magic stone."

Lans' eyes widened.

Hicks said disapprovingly: "The world of wizards is very realistic. If you don't want to listen to the explanation, you can save this magic stone."

Lance was very depressed. The magic stones in his hand were not abundant. Unexpectedly, two pieces were missing before he could go to Rainbow Island. However, he also knew that Ferrendor was obviously not a peaceful place. Not only were there monsters, but there were many other dangerous places. If he didn't listen to Hicks' explanation, he might encounter more problems in the future.

So he had to hand over a magic stone obediently.

Hicks took the magic stone and his face suddenly became much better: "Young man, don't look dejected. You are entering the forest from the east. I bet that if you go from other directions, the charging standards for the defenders in other directions will definitely be much higher than mine."

"What's more, not every defender welcomes the new wizard like me." Hicks suddenly sneered: "In the south, there have been almost twenty years since no wild wizard has come here."

When Lance heard this, he felt chill.

Hicks's intention is now very obvious. Ferrondor should have set up some world guardians to protect the edges of the wizarding world and the mortal world. However, not every world guardian is a law-abiding wizard.

"Who is the person in the south?" Lance asked cautiously.

Hicks snorted: "It's just some dirty blood mages."

But he immediately added: "If you meet a mage in a red robe in Ferrondor, be careful. These people are extremely dangerous!"

...

Ferrondor is a miracle land built in the vast forest. There are many wizard organizations of all sizes gathering here, and it is one of the few wizard gathering places on the west coast of the mainland.

According to Hicks' introduction, Lance learned that in Ferrondor, there are conservatively estimated that there are more than 5,000 wizards living in it. Most of them are wizard apprentices. Generally speaking, second-level wizards can be called the pillars of a small wizard organization. As for third-level wizards, they are all powerful figures.

But what surprised Lance was that there was no level 4 wizard in Ferrondor. At this time, Lance suddenly realized how amazing the words of Hicks muttering before, saying that Teacher Amman was the man who had the most chance to attack the level 4 wizard.

However, Hicks didn't say much about the secrets in this, and he could only keep his curiosity in his heart for the time being.

There are three largest wizard organizations in the entire Ferrondor, namely the Treewalker's Hut, Rainbow Island and Scarlet Castle. The people wearing red robes that Hicks reminded him before were the people in Scarlet Castle.

The tree worshiper's hut is naturally composed of a group of tree worshipers. They advocate balance and do not kill easily. They are good at natural spells and like to be with animals. Sometimes tree worshipers may look a bit old-fashioned, but most of the time they are reasonable. Of course, this is Hicks' description, and Lance doesn't know how many of them are completely real.

In Lance's view, the tree worshiper should be a character similar to the druid in online novels I read in my previous life. A group of people who love balance and like to live in the forest.

Unlike most tree worshipers who are born with racial heritage, Rainbow Island is composed of ordinary human wizards. This wizard organization is best at shaping spells and law witches. Rainbow Island wizards often have super personal attack abilities, and many spells are highly lethal.

As a tree worshiper, Hicks had no good feelings for the wizards of Rainbow Island. In his words, these human wizards all became "narcissists who were addicted to power", which was not worth mentioning.

But in Ferrondor, the relationship between the Treeworshipers and the Rainbow Island wizards is not bad. Because they all have a wizard organization that they hate in common, that is, Scarlet Castle.

"That is a very evil, very evil wizard organization!" Hicks warned Lance seriously: "The group of evil red-robed wizards blasphemed the dead's corpses and were obsessed with the power of blood. Most of them were black wizards or blood wizards. At the top of the Scarlet Castle, half of the people had vampires' bloodline, and the other half were pure-bred humans, but these humans were not idle people, and they were all desperate people who killed countless people."

"If it weren't for fear that the power of Scarlet Castle was too strong, if one improper handling would rashly cause a war in the wizarding world of Ferrondor, I'm afraid the Treewalker Cabin would have joined forces with Rainbow Island to remove Scarlet Castle from here." Hicks shook his head and said, "I remind you again that the people of Scarlet Castle cannot be trusted. Every red-robed wizard is extremely dangerous!"

Lance nodded solemnly. He did not expect that there were so many ways in the wizard world. The entire Ferrondor looked like a three-legged tripod. Many small wizard organizations were seeking to survive in the cracks, and for more resources, they had difficulty in survival.

The magic stone is the only currency here.

...

"Okay, what I said to you just now is almost the current situation of Ferrondor." Hicks took a sip of water and said tiredly: "Next I must fulfill the obligation of a Ferrondor wizard to teach you a special level 0 spell."

"Demon defense technique?" Lance asked.

Hicks nodded and said, "This is what all wizards in Ferrondor must do. If we meet a wild wizard, we must pass on this spell to him - this is the rule set by the great wizard who invented this wizard. Even if he has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, no one dares to disobey his wishes."

"Ferrondor is the active place for spell factors. When you enter, you will find that the spell factors there are more than ten times more active than the mortal world. In Ferrondor, you can practice very quickly."

"These active spell factors have also attracted many monsters to wander from various spaces, and demons are the most common ones. It can be said that if you don't know how to defend demons, you may die in the wild at any time."

"This is the learning scroll of [Demon Defense Technique]." Hicks said, taking out a light yellow scroll and put it in front of Lance.

Lance took the scroll and asked vigilantly: "How much?"

Hicks blinked: "Free."

Lanss immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"But now you can't do anything for me." Hicks continued: "The devil defense technique can only allow you to escape from those damn devils. If you don't have any aggressive spells, it will be difficult for you to survive in the wilds of Ferrondor, let alone complete the task I assigned you."

Lance put away the scroll, and when he heard this, he felt something bad.

Hicks smiled slightly: "I have some 0-level spell learning scrolls here, and I will sell them in half for you. Do you want it?"

Lance immediately vomited blood in his heart: "So this guy is still trying to hit his magic stone!"

The tall tree worshiper was obviously very thick-skinned and said with a striking remark: "You can't survive in Ferrondor without mastering a few practical offensive spells. Believe me, these spell learning scrolls are much cheaper than the Wizards' mall!"

"Witcher Mall?" Lance heard a brand new term.

Hicks said carelessly: "In Ferrondor, the three major wizards are in common for trading, and each wizard can buy and sell things in it. Of course, the necessary handling fees are inevitable. Every weekend, the wizard mall holds auctions regularly, and real good things often appear at auctions."

Lance nodded.

Hicks continued to promote and said, "Since you don't know any offensive spells and you have to go to Rainbow Island to learn, how about a spell scroll of [Bow of Fire]? This is one of the signature spells of Rainbow Island. Well, I seem to have another [Ice Path] here, which is a fan-shaped offensive spell, which is quite practical. I mean, iced the enemy and it will be very helpful for you to escape..."

"Ah! And this, [Malfoy Acid Liquid Arrow Improvement Type 2], the enhanced spell runes developed by the insidious guys in Scarlet Castle. This thing is much more expensive than the standard runes. How about you thirty magic stones after you finish it?"

...

Under the promotion of the seemingly honest tree worshiper, Lance carefully selected and bought two level 0 spell learning scrolls.

It’s not that he listened to Hicks’ tricks, but that he really lacked aggressive spells. Although bows and arrows and swordsmanship have powerful physical attack capabilities, Lance can’t guarantee that they can still protect themselves like they do in the mortal world.

But instead of following Hicks' advice, he chose two scrolls that surprised the tree worshipers-

Level 0 spell, [Scam Ray], energy-plastic system/flame/ray category, price: 4 magic stones

Level 0 spell, [Bileg's rotating force field], defense system/force field/twisting type, price: 6 magic stones.

Two scrolls, one offense and one defense, were the final decisions that Lance carefully selected and made under the Fox’s suggestion.

After this move, only a pitiful 8 pieces of magic stone in his pocket were left, which made Lance feel that he spent money like water.

"What a stingy guy." Hicks packed up the other scrolls and glared at Lance with dissatisfaction: "As Amman's apprentice, you must have a lot of wealth. You are only willing to patronize such a little goods!"

"What?" Lance asked curiously: "Is my teacher very rich?"

Hicks glared at him: "Do you don't know?"

Lance shook his head.

Hicks whispered mysteriously: "It is said that he once robbed the warehouse of a small wizard organization. Do you think he has money? In short, if you enter Ferrendor this time, it is best not to say that you are a disciple of Amman, otherwise the wizard organization may come to trouble you."

Lance's face suddenly turned dark. When Teacher Amman was young, he didn't seem to be a quiet guy.

Hicks cleaned up and said to Lance: "I have to go west recently and come back in about a month."

"This month, you will practice your spells well in the Treewalker's House. In a month, you will have to set out to complete the tasks I assigned you. Only when you complete the tasks will I send you to Ferrendor, do you understand?"

Lance nodded.

The tree worshiper grabbed many things from the house that Lance had no use, and then hurriedly left the cottage.
