Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

It's night, the night is as cool as water, and the stars are brilliant.

Beside a stream somewhere in the Khachira Mountains.

"Crack!" The firewood exploded into tiny sparks that floated far away in the wind, and the bonfire set up began to burn.

In front of the campfire, Luo Xi held a magic book and read it carefully.

The element content in the mortal world is negligible, and it is almost impossible for wizards to improve by meditating in these places. Therefore, after arriving in the mortal world, Luo Xi suspended his daily meditation and devoted his energy to magic learning.

What he is studying at the moment is also a high-level apprentice-level spell called "Blizzard". It is a spell that combines the wind and ice elements, which is very suitable for his attributes.

After a while.

"Complete one effort to learn magic, time point +3 days."

Luo Xi pinched the bridge of his nose, put down the magic book and did not continue reading. Magic is different from other knowledge. Learning is extremely draining of mental energy. Long-term study may not necessarily yield results, but may damage one's own spirit.

After finishing studying, Luo Xi immediately started preparing today's dinner.

The dinner he had was fish, which he caught from the nearby stream. This trip was short and he didn’t prepare too many ingredients before embarking on the road. He only brought some spices and seasonings and prepared them on the spot during the journey. Draw materials.

The ecological environment of this world is excellent. The products in the barren mountains and ridges like this are very rich, ranging from tigers, leopards, bears and other forest beasts to rabbits and pheasants. Luo Xi thought that even if he was hungry, he could catch anything in the forest. Fill the stomach.

However, after he actually hit the road, he realized that his plan was a bit hasty.

The forest is indeed rich in products, but these animals are very alert. They realize the danger before he gets close and disappear into the trees, leaving no chance for Luo Xi.

Hunting is a technical job, and brute force alone is not enough.

Although it was possible to catch prey if he used magic and spent a little more time, Luo Xi was too lazy to expend that energy.

Anyway, he bought a magic fishing rod in Fairy Street during his last trip. The fishhook of this witchcraft tool has been enchanted. No matter what kind of bait is hung up, it will release a unique alluring aroma. Ordinary ones The fish couldn't resist at all.

"If you have the chance, you should still learn some hunting skills."

There are many precious resources in the wizarding world that only exist in the deep mountains and wild forests that no one cares about. Some of them are necessities on the wizard's journey, and they may not be available in the market. The wizard can only collect them himself.

Because of this, the journey of a wizard always requires traveling across mountains and rivers, and traveling thousands of miles. If you have good hunting skills, it will be a lot easier and save you a lot of magic stones.

Taking out the fish caught from the small bucket and putting it on the chopping board, Luo Xi took out a knife and started to operate it, cutting off the scales, removing the gills, and emptying the internal organs. When he was on Earth, he always lived alone, so in order to reduce expenses, Luo Xi mostly stayed at home. Cooking for yourself naturally develops excellent cooking skills.

In a short time, he cleaned the fish, then skewered them with sharpened wooden skewers, sprinkled with spices, and smoked them on the bonfire. There were a total of 10 fish caught, eight of which were treated in this way, and the remaining fish were cooked in this way. The bottom two are put into the crucible and cooked into fish soup.

"Sizzling!" After a while, the fish was grilled and dripping with golden oil, and a special fragrance filled the air.

Luo Xi took one of the grilled fish and put it to his mouth, blew on it and tasted it. I have to say that the fish in this world tastes really good. The meat is chewy and refreshing. The highlight is that there are almost no fish bones, and the fishy smell after being smoked and grilled. It was also completely removed, and it felt like it melted in your mouth after one bite, and the whole taste buds were filled with the fragrance of grilled fish.

"Try to finish the grilled fish once and eat it, the time point +3 days."

The system also seemed to be attracted by the delicious taste, and at this time, it sent Luo Xi a time point.

While eating grilled fish, Luo Xi admired the stars in the sky above his head. Next to him was a clear stream. The moonlight flowed through the stream and the water was sparkling. He was surrounded by a lush forest. The summer night breeze blew gently and swept it away. The heat in the air makes everything very comfortable.

"Shasha." At this moment, a bush nearby shook, and there seemed to be a dark shadow approaching.

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and quickly put one hand on the cross sword next to him.

Although the fish is delicious, it is still a bit greasy after eating every meal. It would be great if some greedy beast without eyes could take the initiative to deliver it to your door.

The treetops swayed for a while and then parted to both sides, and the black shadow behind them was immediately exposed to Luo Xi's eyes.

When he saw the other person's face clearly, Luo Xi couldn't help but be startled, because this was not a forest beast, but an old man. What made Luo Xi even more unexpected was that he sensed the existence of elements from the other person's body. Obviously, this was also related to A spellcaster like him.

wizard?

To meet a wizard in the wilderness of this mundane place? Isn't this too coincidental?

While Luo Xi was surprised, the old man took out a badge and revealed his identity: "I am the night watchman here. You can call me Joey, a strange caster. You have come to the sphere of influence of the witch domain on the southern coast. I need you to explain your purpose."

It's the night watchman.

Luo Xi realized now that the way to manage wizards in low-value remote secular areas like the Vesona Islands is to place some night watchmen here. Once strange wizards enter these areas, they will be investigated by the night watchmen.

They probably noticed that I came to this area through some channel.

Guessing in his mind, Luo Xi then took out his badge and stated his identity and intention: "I am an apprentice of the Elemental Castle. This is my identity badge. I came here to visit relatives."

As he spoke, Luo Xi looked at the old man carefully. He looked about sixty or seventy years old. He had long gray hair and a long goatee. He was wearing a gray cloak and a pestle in his hand. The long wooden staff looked very much like an old wizard from a certain Earth film and television work that Luo Xi knew.

The old man Joey glanced at the badge. Luo Xi even suspected that he didn't see it clearly, so he nodded and said: "Yes, it is the badge of the Elemental Castle."

After a pause, his nose twitched twice, and he looked at the bonfire in confusion and said, "What are you roasting?"

Luo Xi said: "Grilled fish, caught in this river."

Joey looked suspicious: "Caught in this river? I have lived here for almost thirty years, and I never knew that the fish here can taste like this when grilled."

Luo Xi said: "I put special spices, um. I made it myself."

The seasoning for the grilled fish is made by himself. It comes from his grandmother's hometown of Sichuan. It is made with dozens of spices. The unique taste is definitely not found elsewhere.

After a pause, he picked up a skewer of grilled fish and said, "You can try it."

Isn't it necessary to investigate so carefully? Could grilled fish still be a dangerous product?

Just when Luo Xi was so curious, he saw the old man's beard rising to both sides and took the grilled fish: "Hey, then I have to taste this grilled fish with my mouth."
