The day when I was forcibly bound by an NPC

Jiang Zhaonian returned to the mage's small courtyard with a full harvest, which shocked the mage.

"Where did you find so many?" said the mage.

Jiang Zhaonian put the box away and opened the lid, lowered his head to fiddle with the Frostgrass, and said without raising his head, "I told you yesterday. By the way, I met a man who lived in the mountains today, and he said that Frost There is a lot of grass in the mountains, no one wants it, if he still needs it, he can take me to pick it... Do you want to stock up some more?"

The mage couldn't help frowning: "Who? Why does it sound so suspicious."

"It's a little strange..." Jiang Zhaonian scratched his head, "But what he said should be true, after all, the frost grass I found grows together, which is not at all the same as what is said in the book. Maybe there is something inside the mountain. The environment is rather special?"

The mage looked at him: "Do you want to go?"

Jiang Zhaonian smiled embarrassingly: "That's a little bit. Well, I have something else I want to ask you..."

The mage watched him, waiting for his next words.

Jiang Zhaonian thought of his surprise when he found a large piece of frost grass, his immersion in handling the frost grass, his shock and satisfaction when he saw those miraculous phenomena after helping the mage to complete the work... those words came naturally On the side of his mouth: "Well, I heard that magicians will accept magic apprentices and so on. Do you accept them? What do you think of me?"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhaonian opened his eyes wide, adjusted his expression, and tried his best to make himself look sincere, smart and reliable.

"you?"

The mage didn't expect this question from him, he was surprised for a moment, and then he really thought about it.

He pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "It's not time yet."

"What's not in time?" Jiang Zhaonian frowned, "Is there still an inspection period?"

"Well," the mage thought for a moment, "that's fine too."

"Okay." Jiang Zhaonian slumped his shoulders, so it was rejected.

But he figured it out quickly, the mage was right, it was not time yet.

Winter is about to pass, he will leave this mandatory plot, and there is still such a big game world outside waiting for him to explore... Apprentices and so on, he can wait for him to play enough before he can become an apprentice!

After all, judging from the mage's usual activities, if he were really an apprentice, he would be like him, hiding in the small courtyard all day long, practicing magic, cooking potions and doing experiments behind closed doors.

It's the same when I come back after enjoying life.

Jiang Zhaonian quickly let go of this sudden idea.However, compared to his heartlessness, the mage who was questioned was serious.

He didn't expect that Jiang Zhaonian wanted to stay by his side so much... This is of course a very good thing, even he couldn't help but be moved.Thinking about it, the mage gently raised his hand to cover the corner of his raised mouth, and supported his elbow on the table.

He looked down at the table, and unconsciously circled the table with his other hand.

Although Jiang Zhaonian was looking forward to becoming his apprentice so much, what should he do, the principle cannot be broken, there must be a probation period.

The mage was contemplating, and suddenly had an idea, and took the manuscript paper aside.

But he didn't use the manuscript paper for the first time, but opened the drawer and took out an exquisite cube pendant from it.The pendant is only about one centimeter in width, and through the hollowed-out wooden pieces wrapped in the outer layer, a bright blue magic ball can be seen in the center.

The mage held the rope of the pendant, and the small cube dangled lightly in front of his eyes.

This is a protective item, which can resist a fatal injury for the owner, and can also contact the holder of the magic circle by destroying it-naturally, it is the mage himself.

The person Jiang Zhaonian mentioned sounds really suspicious, so bring this thing to him tomorrow, just in case.

The mage opened his brows, settled his mind, and then flattened the manuscript paper, and began to write and draw on it.

A magic talisman...is a pretty good idea.The mage drew a long arrow on the paper and marked it in the corner.

I hope you can pass through the inspection period without incident and come back to me intact.

The mage thought, feeling a little happy.The speed of his writing gradually accelerated, and the content on the manuscript paper began to outline.

It's just that the layers of magic are too complicated and profound, even if it is leaked, no one can understand what it is.

&&

The next day, before Jiang Zhaonian went out, the mage took out the pendant and asked him to take it with him.

Before parting, he was still worried, thinking of where Jiang Zhaonian was going, he frowned and said: "Don't go too deep... If you meet a sharp-eared elf in the mountains, stay away from him. If you can't hide Open, use this magic pendant."

"Okay, but what happened to that elf?" Jiang Zhaonian asked curiously.

The mage said vaguely, "Stay away from dirty things."

Jiang Zhaonian couldn't help squinting his eyes, and tilted his head back slightly, why did he feel more curious?But the mage said to stay away, so stay away.He didn't hurt me.

Before this departure, Jiang Zhaonian only carried the largest box on his back.He walked to the place agreed with the elf, took out the whistle and was about to blow it, when he suddenly remembered a serious question.

He can't blow this thing!

Jiang Zhaonian stared blankly at it for a moment, brought it to his mouth, and breathed out tentatively.

……Nothing happened.

……

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Jiang Zhaonian blushed, and finally managed to blow out a dumb fart-like whistle.

It should be... right?Jiang Zhaonian let go of his hand uncertainly, and decided to wait for a while.

In the valley, the elves who had been waiting for Jiang Zhaonian for a long time caught the short whistle and immediately stood up.

"Honey, come to see me~" the elf said happily, raised his hands, and used the power of nature, and clumps of frost grass grew on the ground centered on him.

The elves walked all the way like this, forcing the frost grass to grow all over the mountains and fields, and didn't stop until the outer edge of the valley, so that they would grow sparser.

Rao is the king of elves, and it is quite exhausting to spawn so many rare plants at once.

His face turned two points paler, but because it was already too white, it didn't look too obvious.

The elf was very satisfied with his state, he patted his cheek and said, "I want to meet my sweetheart with the best image."

Seeing that person coming, Jiang Zhaonian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that because he didn't know how to whistle, that person would think that he had let him go...

Compared with the lingering lingering relationship of the elves who want to talk about the past and connect with each other, Jiang Zhaonian's goal is much more straightforward.He greeted quickly, and asked straight to the point: "The frost grass you mentioned, where do they grow?"

The elf pursed her lips, not disappointed, and said with a smile, "Come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and led the way, chatting with Jiang Zhaonian at the same time.

"Are you from the mage?"

"correct."

"No wonder you need so many Frostgrass, and only he can use this thing... The mage is really a weird person."

Jiang Zhaonian scratched his head: "It's okay if you get familiar with it."

"Really? They say the mages in the forest are particularly scary."

"Hey, don't listen to those rumors, they are groundless."

……

……

"Haha, you are such a nice person."

"Uh, ok, maybe? Huh, hoh... But it's not there yet? If you still go in... let's forget about it today." Jiang Zhaonian became vigilant.

"We'll be there soon, just go down here." The elf sighed regretfully in his heart, and stopped detouring.

Jiang Zhaonian frowned, but still followed.Sure enough, this time, I saw the Frost Grass soon.

He breathed a sigh of relief and gave the elf an embarrassed smile.

"I was scared to death. I thought you were a liar. Fortunately, these frost grasses grow here. If I go further into the mountains, I really dare not go."

"Why?" The elf tilted his head, "The mountain is very safe, and I am familiar with it, so I won't let you encounter danger."

"Don't you know yet?" Jiang Zhaonian looked around nervously, leaned close to him and whispered, "The mage said that there is an elf in the mountain, who is evil and dirty, so I should be careful to avoid him. But I heard that The elves usually move in the deep mountains, I just come here once in a while, and go back after walking around outside, so it's okay. You live in this mountain, so be careful!"

"...Really? He lied to you. Isn't the elf the most pure and kind creature in the world?" The elf forced a smile.

Jiang Zhaonian shook his head: "That's all from fairy tales, who knows the truth? But he must have seen the mage living here, and he won't harm me. Don't take it seriously, Be careful!"

"..." The elf was silent for a moment, showing a scared expression. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, "I remember it."
