Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

Four or five gray coyotes were gathering by the side of the road, seemingly tearing apart something.

Sensing the elf's approach, the coyotes turned their heads immediately. The dark yellow bloodthirsty wolf stared at him coldly, lowered its figure, and let out threatening growls from its throat.

The last dragonborn frowned. The elf's naturally keen gaze allowed him to clearly see what the coyotes were tearing apart.

That was a mutilated corpse!

He took a step back slowly, and took off the longbow behind his back. It is a reward for the caravan guard training mission, and its attributes are considered very good in the eyes of the last generation of dragonborn.

[Guardian Longbow], a blue-quality wind-attribute magic bow, a standard weapon for the Oliwendi caravan guards.

It can add the magical power of the upper wind attribute to the shot arrows, increasing the speed and power of the arrows.

Bring three blast arrows and one piercing arrow skill every day.

Meanwhile the coyotes let go of their prey and scattered like gray arrows, trying to surround the elves.

Three white-feathered arrows appeared between the fingers of the elf, and the agile wind elements wrapped the arrow body layer by layer, and then bowed like a full moon, and the three light blue wind arrows shot towards the wolves in an instant.

At the same time, the weeds at the feet of the wolves suddenly grew wildly, and the tough plants instantly entangled the legs of several coyotes, with barbs laced with venom growing on them, and they couldn't break free no matter how hard they struggled.

Tier 2 nature spells - manipulating plants!

Gray Coyote's challenge level is no more than fifteen. Although there are five, it is still far from the opponent of the last dragonborn.

In the end, the five gray coyotes swallowed their last breath unwillingly, and contributed four [Mutilated Wolf Pelts] and one [Complete Wolf Pelt] to him.

After exterminating the wolves, the last dragonborn looked at the mutilated dead body.

Judging from the clothes, the deceased seemed to be a female imperial commoner, but her body not only had signs of wolves biting, but also piercing scars of swords.

"Is it a sudden mission? Or is it just a simple misfortune to encounter bandits?"

Adhering to the good habits of players, the last dragonborn began to search for corpses without any psychological pressure.

Because this is a game after all, the system provides players with two ways to obtain loot.

The first one, like a normal 3D game, calls out the panel next to the dead, and selects the option to get loot. The player's character will automatically use the mage's hand to take out the items carried by the deceased.

How much loot can be found depends on the hiddenness of the item, as well as the player's attributes and search skills.

The other is the real mode, which has nothing to do with character attributes. How many things you can find depends on the player's own ability.

The advantage of this method is that the search skill attribute can be ignored in the early stage. But the disadvantage is that some highly hidden items cannot be found by direct search.

No matter which way you choose, after the search is over, the player's search skills will improve a little.

After a while, the last dragonborn found 6 silver coins and 32 copper coins, a black iron necklace, and a stack of letters soaked in dark red blood from the body of the deceased.

"Phew—these days, robbers don't look down on silver coins anymore. Can't even magic stop the pace of inflation?"

The elf whistled in surprise, and then opened the letter curiously.

'Honey, Elsa'

'How is the situation at home? Are the children growing up healthily? '

‘I’m sorry, but as a husband and father, I have not been able to fulfill the responsibilities of these two identities. '

‘This time, the mercenary group has received a big order. The White Rose Legion needs to secretly escort a batch of supplies from Wind Valley City to Fort Manchenko. It takes at least six months to go back and forth. '

‘Although this mission has higher risks than before, the bounty of this mission is fully worth all my income in the past three years. '

'With this money,

You will no longer have to work hard all day, and the eldest son will also have the tuition to enter the professional college, and we will usher in a bright future. '

‘Thanks to His Majesty Gloria’s kindness, even if we are only civilians, we still have the right to send our descendants to the Academy. '

'Don't worry, my love, take care of the children until I come back! '

'Love you, Wood'

After reading the letter, a prompt popped up on the panel:

[System prompt: Trigger random encounter mission 'Dead']

[Mission introduction: You found a dead person who unfortunately died in the mouth of wolves, but the sword wound on her body obviously means that there is something hidden behind her. 】

[Task requirements: Read all letters: 1/4]

[Task Reward: None]

"Triggered plot mission?"

The last dragonborn suddenly became energetic. Such a mission introduction and requirements obviously meant that this was the beginning of a certain branch plot mission.

The reason why he became interested in this mission was because the name 'White Rose Legion' was mentioned in the letter.

In the background plot, the White Rose Legion nominally directly belongs to the royal family of the Gloria Empire, and is one of the garrison troops sent by the royal family to the border of the empire.

Of the taxes paid by the four major provinces to the royal family every year, part of it will be directly allocated to the legion as military expenses.

Different from the previous caravan guards, as a frontier garrison, the White Rose Legion is a real elite with an average challenge level of 60.

If he can get on the line with him, he can take off in a short time.

Daydreaming, the Last Dragonborn opened the second letter.

'Sorry, Elsa'

'I can't give up this mission, if I raise it, the head will definitely demote me to an alternate. '

‘You said you had a bad premonition, I admit that this mission is much more dangerous than before, but it is still within our tolerance. '

‘I’ve also heard the rumors on the road, but there are more than a hundred of us, and the leader is a powerful warrior at the peak of the sixth order. Even if you encounter bandits and so-called evil magicians, you can still protect yourself. '

‘Even if those noble gentlemen are damned, at least their gold coins are innocent. '

‘Be obedient, wait for me at home, I will definitely come back safely. '

'Love you, Wood'

"Oh, it's a smell."

The last dragonborn instinctively complained, and kept opening the third letter in his hand.

The order of the letters is well determined, and the envelope of each letter has the time of sending the letter, just look from the old to the new.

'Honey, Elsa'

‘We have arrived in Greyhawk City, and we are less than three days away from our destination, Fort Manchenko. '

‘You said that the bad feeling in your heart is getting stronger and stronger? It's okay, it's all here, I can't stop before the finish line. '

'Well, anyway, a big bounty is coming soon. At worst, I will spend more money and send a letter home every fifteen days to tell you about my recent situation. Is that okay? '

'Love you, Wood'
