The First Mage

"Boss, it's just hunting, do you want to run so far?"

Difficult to pull out his legs from the thick snow, Stan's face was covered with wind and frost, and his physical strength was getting worse and worse. Looking at the endless snowfield, his heart was filled with despair.

My own golden circle is not that simple, now there is only one and a half days left, and Kasman has run so far, I will not be too late to arrive, and I will be killed on the way, right?

"wrong……"

While Stan was thinking about this, while trekking, he suddenly found that the originally calm snow surface was trembling slightly...

Could it be an earthquake?

Stan stopped, looked into the distance with some doubts, and was a little worried in his heart, wouldn't this delay his trip again?

But soon, Stan couldn't care less about that time...

The trembling of the snow surface became more and more violent, and in the distance, a somewhat blurred giant snow-white bear appeared, galloping fast.

"Damn it, Frost Bear?"

After seeing it clearly, Stan was startled, and ran away without even thinking about it.

What a joke, I'm tired and hungry now, and the Frost Bear is the best at protracted warfare, if I'm pestered by it for a while, I'm sure I'll die in the end.

Not to mention, this size looks like a fucking adult male frost bear...

"its not right……"

Not long after running, Stan suddenly felt a little strange.

Although the monster like the Frost Bear is huge in size, it won't be able to create such a momentum that it seems to be about to shake...

Thinking of this in his heart, while continuing to run away, Stan turned his head to take a good look, and now he realized that he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry just now, so he didn't read the whole thing...

That's not just a frost bear, behind it, there is also a three-eyed ice lizard, three shadow wolves...

At a glance, this is about six or seven first-order monsters. According to the hunting range of monsters, all the monsters in the vicinity of a hundred miles may be here.

"You are sick!"

Seeing this, Stan almost cried. What the hell is this? I just found someone. How did I startle the monsters with a radius of hundreds of miles?

Aren't you magical beasts usually busy hunting for territory? Why did my mother come to greet me the first time I came?

Do you want to be so warm and thoughtful?

Stan didn't bother to study a lot. At this juncture of life and death, a potential was squeezed out of his tired body, and the speed was even faster. For a while, he really only hated his parents for giving birth to two legs...

But unfortunately, it is of little use...

It's easy to say that there is only one Frost Bear, the Frost Bear's speed is not too fast, there is always a chance of escape.

But there are three shadow wolves behind...

Among the first-order monsters, their speed is second to none. In addition, Stan's heart and body are almost at the limit, and they can't compete at all.

In just a few moments, a shadow wolf rushed behind him, and the strong smell came from behind. Stan even felt that he was about to be pounced on by it several times...

At this time, a loud voice suddenly came: "Stop those monsters!"

Who the hell is making sarcastic remarks!

Stan almost wanted to yell, you are fucking insane, didn't you see me running away before it was too late? Still stop? What do you ask me to stop?

Just when Stan was slandering non-stop, there was a sudden violent wave of magic coming from behind him.

"what?"

Stan was a little stunned. Looking back, he saw a fireball the size of a washbasin rushing towards him at some point. After the fireball, there were Wind Blade, Arcane Missile, and Ice Spike...

Overwhelming spells fell from the sky, completely covering this area of ​​monsters...

Before Stan understood what was going on, large pieces of stinky blood and minced meat had already splashed into the air, flew high, and fell everywhere on the snow surface...

With a "bang", the frost bear's head fell in front of his eyes. The snow-white head was already charred, obviously hit by the fireball technique at the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen mages rushed over in the smoke that had not completely dissipated. The leader was a young man in a black robe. This young man commanded the mages behind him. He looked quite prestigious. The mages Follow the command and go to clean up those mutilated corpses.

Until this time, the young man had time to pay attention to Stan, but his face was not very good-looking, and he frowned slightly: "Why did you come back so soon? I managed to drive them over just now, and you almost broke things..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Stan jumped on him without saying a word, extremely excited: "Casman, so you are here!"

How excited Stan is, only he knows.

Going through so many hardships and obstacles along the way, he was frightened and rushed in the dark night amidst the howling of monsters, in order not to find Cassman. Now that he finally saw the rightful owner, Stan didn’t cry out excitedly, which is considered a Very restrained.

"You...let go first."

Being hugged as soon as they met, anyone would be caught off guard, even Kasman, who is called a genius.

After finally separating Stan's hand, Kasman smoothed the wrinkles on the clothes, and said suspiciously: "What's going on with you? Wait, didn't I ask you to collect the magic core? Why are you so Coming back soon?"

"I..." Thinking of what he had encountered along the way, Stan had thousands of words, but he couldn't put it into words. For a while, he could only say the most important message: "It was an archmage and two mages who arrested me. Stop it, and let me tell you that he wants to cooperate with you, yes, yes, you should read this letter from them first."

In the middle of Stan's speech, he suddenly realized that, damn, we'll talk about these business matters later, and the key point is to solve the time-delay bomb on him first.

As Stan spoke eagerly, he unbuttoned his robe, found the precious piece of parchment in his underwear, and handed it over carefully.

Unexpectedly, Kasman was very impatient. He snatched the letter from Stan without even looking at it. He raised his hand and tore it into pieces, and then threw it into the snowy wind.

Glancing at Stan standing there blankly, he snorted coldly and said, "Do you know that our mission is of great importance and we must not fail! There are so many hostile forces outside of us, and an outsider wants to cooperate on his own initiative. What intentions are there? As long as there are people in the team, a little trickery may lead to our total failure. This kind of cooperation can't be ignored even if it is reliable. We can only rely on ourselves for this trip! Just tear this thing off, Who knows if they have done anything on it!?"

"..."

Stan's face was pale, and his heart trembled as he looked at the flying pieces of paper.
