Chapter 2 The Unlucky Mage

It was the end of September, and the weather in City B was very cold at this time. Xu Yue worked in a heating company and this was the busiest time of their company, so he worked overtime until after nine o'clock in the evening as usual.

When he came to City B to save money, he rented a 40-square-meter cottage in a very remote area. Six hundred a month is quite cheap.

At the beginning, it was just used as a temporary place to settle down and thought it would be possible to move out soon. However, the championship of the house price and rent, the pair of champions, left at the speed of angering Bolt to death. Xu Yue really couldn't catch up with these two, and in the end he could only continue to make up. This time, he made up for three years.

Because the area where he lives is relatively remote, there is another road next to it, a group of rich second-generation ancestors regarded this place as a place to race. However, these people usually set off after 10 o'clock, so there was no incident of hitting people.

"Why did these guys come out so early today!"

Hearing the roar of a motor from a distance, Xu Yue frowned and quickly got off the road and walked into the woods next to her.

In order to pursue excitement, these guys driving the car are like crazy. If they are hit and injured, they will definitely be ruined. He doesn't want to take this risk.

As soon as he walked into the woods next to him, he was stunned by what happened on the road.

In the dark night, a ball of fists suddenly appeared about one meter on the road in the middle of the road, like a gem. Then the dazzling light expanded outward on a horizontal plane like a layer of film, and finally formed an oval light door about two meters high.

Then a man walked out of the light gate. With the light gate, he could see that the person who came was wearing a robe with a one-piece hood and holding a wooden stick of strange shape in his hand, giving people a very strange feeling.

Before Xu Yue could carefully look at the mysterious man who walked out of the light gate, the next moment the roar of the car had already arrived.

I saw two dazzling lights on the road rushing towards the mysterious man almost at lightning speed.

The car was too fast to dodge. After a slight moment, the mysterious man quickly pointed the strange wooden stick in his hand to the ground. The next moment, some light spots suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious man's body and began to gather in front of him.

Seeing the light spots gathered, it was obviously a shield-like outline. However, the mysterious man made a sound of surprise at this moment. It was obvious that some of the situation in front of him were beyond his expectations.

Sure enough, before the light spots were completely condensed, the car that rushed over had already hit the layer of incomplete light shield with a deafening roar.

The light shield, which looked like a firefly, showed unexpected toughness. The sports car that rushed over seemed to be installed on a city wall. The entire front of the car was instantly destroyed under the powerful impact force. The driver inside directly broke through the front windshield and flew out under powerful inertia.

If this were the case, the mysterious man who appeared from the light gate would be fine, but the next moment, another sports car rushed over and directly hit the rear of the previous car.

The incomplete light shield seemed to be unable to withstand such a violent impact and collapsed in an instant, scattering into a patch of light and disappeared into the air.

Two sports cars that were almost disintegrated hit the mysterious man with the remaining inertia. The two sports cars rolled and fell down several trees on the roadside and fell into the woods.

When Xu Yue came to his senses, he found that one of the two sports car drivers flew out more than ten meters at this time, hanging on a tree not far away, with abnormal bents in many places. He looked obviously fainted, but he didn't know if he was dead. The other neck turned behind his body, and it was obvious that he could not die anymore.

The mysterious man was even more miserable. He was knocked out by the sports car for more than 20 meters. He beaten on the ground like a rag doll that was thrown out and then stopped.

Looking at the mysterious man crawling down on the ground in the distance without movement, Xu Yue couldn't help but swallow and spit. The expression in his eyes changed violently, and he was measuring something in his heart.

Just a few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and quickly ran to the mysterious man. He squatted down and carefully turned the other person's body over and let him face him up.

"Yeah? A foreigner?" He was shocked when he saw the mysterious man's appearance under his hood.

This is a man who looks in his fifties and has a head of light yellow hair. His high nose bridge and the unique face shape and skin tone of foreigners can be distinguished from the Chinese at first glance.

At this time, the mysterious man's face was covered with bruises and scars. It was obviously a scratch on the road when he was knocked away just now. The mouth was bleeding constantly. What was even more shocking was that the blood appeared a kind of black, and there were some fragments mixed in it, which looked like broken internal organs.

The mysterious man's injury made Xu Yue feel cold. He learned some first aid and quickly checked the mysterious man carefully. The demerit after the examination made his heart sink to the bottom.

Judging from the current rough situation alone, the mysterious man broke at least six ribs, and one of them might even be inserted into the lungs. Three fractures on his right arm almost all turned into nunchaku. The bones on his left leg were broken from his thighs, and the entire leg was twisted into a strange angle.

A large black and purple bag bulged on the left forehead of the mysterious man, looking at the position and the possibility of hurting his brain.

Just when Xu Yue couldn't help but give up and turn away in case of getting into trouble, the mysterious man lying down suddenly woke up. He opened his swollen eyes with difficulty. When he saw someone in front of him, a hint of vigilance flashed, but he was then replaced by a painful look.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yue gave up her plan to leave and asked hurriedly: "How do you feel? Can you still move? Do you want me to call an ambulance to take you to the hospital!"

The mysterious man trembled and said something, but the words made him stunned.

As a guy who passed the CET-4 remedy exam three times, Xu Yue didn't understand the mysterious man's words that were syllable, not to mention that he was sure that the language spoken by this mysterious man was definitely not English.

The two of them talked to each other a few more words. The mysterious man obviously realized the problem of language barrier between the two sides. He saw that he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and raised his uninjured left hand and closed his eyes.

Just when Xu Yue was inexplicably doing his actions, a white light flashed across the mysterious man's hand, and a scroll about ten centimeters wide appeared in the mysterious man's hand.

I saw the mysterious man gently tapping the scroll with his hand as if he had difficulty. The entire scroll unfolded out of thin air, and a mysterious word appeared on it. The next moment, the scroll suddenly turned into a white light and shot into Xu Yue's eyebrows.

Suddenly, Xu Yue felt as if someone had hit the head with a stick, and she became dizzy and her consciousness became blurred. Fortunately, she recovered in just over ten seconds.

Seeing that Xu Yue had opened his eyes, the mysterious man opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out two words: "Staff..."

Xu Yue dared to swear that he had not only never learned the language spoken by the mysterious man, but he had not heard it before, but he understood it.

After a moment of silence, he realized that he didn't care about why such a magical thing happened. He looked around and found that the strange wooden stick held by the mysterious man had fallen not far away.

This is probably the only wooden stick that can be related to the word "staff" in a mysterious person.

He quickly ran over and took the fallen wooden stick back and handed it to the mysterious man's hand. He saw that the mysterious man held the staff with his left hand and closed his eyes again.

The next moment, something strange happened again. A strange pattern flashed at the top of the wooden stick, and then milky white light spots began to gather at the top of the wooden stick.

The scene this time is somewhat similar to the previous situation where the mysterious man gathers light shield. The difference is that the light spots are white this time, while the light spots before they are golden. The light spots gather much slower than before. After a minute, the light spots formed a light ball the size of a milky white fist. Then the light ball fell downward and instantly turned into a piece of white light to cover the mysterious person.

The mysterious man's face quickly improved after being shrouded in this light, and even some small wounds on his face were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Yue was already shocked by the mysterious man's continuous methods, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Magic!"

Isn't this scene very similar to the magician mentioned in the novel? It has a hooded robe, a scroll with strange abilities, and a light ball that can heal the wounds with the wooden stick. All of this is very consistent with the image of a magician in the novel.

The mysterious man looked at Xu Yue and nodded and said, "Thank you for your kind-hearted person, but I think we'll leave here first, I feel someone is approaching."

The mysterious man's statement made Xu Yue's heart jump. The noise of the car accident was too loud and it had attracted the attention of the residents around him. At this time, he could vaguely hear the voices approaching.

After discussing with the mysterious man, he carefully carried the mysterious man and walked quickly to the house.

After arriving at home, Xu Yue carefully settled the mysterious man in the bedroom and then discussed with him how to treat his injuries. However, he saw the mysterious man showing a bitter smile and waved his hand at him.

"Young man, I think you probably guessed it too. I'm not from this world."

Xu Yue was stunned after hearing his words, then nodded and said, "Yes, the magical abilities you showed are indeed not available here, it is very similar to the legendary magicians here!"

"Huh? Are there magicians in this world? I'm sorry, the magic elements in this world are only one-tenth of that in my hometown. It's hard to imagine that someone can practice magic in such a thin magic element!" The mysterious man was slightly stunned after hearing Xu Yue's words.

But then he shook his head and said no longer caring about this: "Yes, although I don't know why there are legends of magicians in your world that are completely unsuitable for practicing magic, but I am indeed a magician. Well... an unlucky magician!"

After receiving a positive answer, Xu Yue's heart suddenly beat. He had guessed about the identity of the mysterious man before, and the guess came true at this time, which made him feel even more surprised.

Seeing Xu Yue's appearance, the mysterious magician smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that you are very interested in magicians, or magic!"

Xu Yue nodded excitedly and said, "Of course, magic belongs to the legendary mysterious power here. Our world is in another civilization system, which is completely different from the magic civilization. Although it is not inferior to the magic civilization. However, the mysterious magic in the legend still makes people yearn for it very much."

After hearing his words, the magician nodded and said, "Indeed! The magic world is mysterious and unpredictable. Once it starts exploring, it cannot stop. Many people will devote their entire lives to the exploration of magic. If it is encountered normally, I really may lead you in, but now..."

After hearing the magician's words, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel nervous. To be honest, he is a person who is worse than having more things than having less things. If you usually encounter a car accident, you can only help you call the police and call an ambulance and you will never come over by yourself.

This is not that he is indifferent and ignores human life, but that what he has to pay for in this society to do good deeds is not just a good intention. If you are not lucky, you will encounter the kind of person who saves him but the other party turns his back and blames you. Maybe your family will be destroyed and your people will die. Haven’t you seen many people who have saved people and become bicycles after they have saved them.

The reason why he saved this magician this time was because he saw the strange scene when the magician appeared. He instinctively wanted to seize this opportunity to find the door to the mysterious world. But obviously the magician did not mean to lead him into the mysterious world.

Seeing the disappointment and anxiousness in Xu Yue's eyes, the magician shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not unwilling to lead you into the door of the magic world. After all, I can lend a helping hand when I am in danger. If I rely on this point in my daily life, I will accept you as my apprentice."

After seeing Xu Yue's puzzled expression, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You should see that I was seriously injured."

Xu Yue pointed, "It's true. Although I don't know how your internal injuries are, the injuries suffered by the limbs alone are already very serious. However, your magic is very magical. After you have your own treatment, you look much healed."

After hearing his words, the magician smiled bitterly: "That's just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, my injuries have not been relieved much, and the good ones are just some minor injuries on the surface. After all, a secondary healing technique plus a bottle of "recovery potion" that can only treat moderate injuries cannot repair my broken internal organs. In fact, there are only a few remaining days of my life."

After hearing the magician's careful discussion about his injuries, Xu Yue's heart suddenly felt cold. Even modern medicine could not continue the magician's life.

After suffering from this injury, it was an incredible miracle that the mage was able to talk to him normally.

This magician almost completely relies on his powerful mental power to force the brain to maintain the circulation of his brain and did not die immediately. However, this situation can last at most one or two glory hours, which is about one and a half hours on the earth. The magician said that one glory hours is about fifty minutes on the earth.

The magician knew that his death was approaching, but he let it go completely. Seeing Xu Yue's disappointed look, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be too disappointed. Although you can't lead you into the hall of magic yourself, I can still do it just by giving you a chance."

Xu Yue, who was already completely disappointed, was immediately excited when he heard this sentence, but he was not proud of himself. After thinking for a while, he said, "We have a saying here, 'There is no free dinner in the world'. I don't know what you need me to do for you in exchange for this opportunity."

The magician nodded in praise and said, "No, very insightful words. If you get one, you need to give. I do have something to do for me, but this is not a difficult task for you. And you don't need to do it immediately. Just wait until you have enough strength before doing it."

After hearing the magician's words, Xu Yue thought for a while and nodded and agreed to his conditions. No matter what, he would never give up this opportunity.

Next, the magician carefully explained what Xu Yue needed to do, and in the following time, he tried his best to tell Xu Yue about his world information and related magic knowledge. One and a half hours later, the magician closed his eyes peacefully.

According to the magician's instructions, he took the magic ring that could be stored from the other party's fingers. He opened the storage space of the ring according to the method given to him by the magician, and found a bottle of red powder the size of a baby's fist.

When talking about the powder poured some of the powder onto the magician's body, I saw a flashing red powder immediately wrapped the other party's entire body in a red light like a flame. The magician's body quickly turned into ashes in this red light, and finally turned into a piece of red crystal the size of a thumb and fell onto the bed.

During the whole process, the red light did not cause any damage to the bed sheets and the surrounding furniture, and even the magic robe on the magician's body had no effect. It only cremated the magician's body.

Looking at the items left by the magician scattered on the bed, Xu Yue carefully packed these things and put the red crystal transformed from the magician's body into the storage ring. Then he sat on the bed and began to recall some information the magician told him.

The magician's name is Oward. Oward, who comes from a different world continent named Talenmiya. There is not only human race on that continent. Elf, dwarf, goblin, dwarf, and even dragons, demons, gods and other legendary races actually exist in that world, and there are many other strange races.;
