65: News of Leng Ren came from the southwest

Didn't you learn Intermediate Wisdom? There are some magic spells here you can learn. Our Magician Guild in Tongtian City is too low level. Wanqing City has advanced magic, you can go in and learn some.

Han Huohuo was disappointed, it seemed he had misunderstood the meaning of a special place. It turned out Hua Mulan had brought him here to learn magic.

How embarrassing, how embarrassing, it turned out he was overthinking it!

But learning magic wasn't bad either. With Intermediate Wisdom, he could theoretically learn Level 4 magic. His own Magician Guild would take at least a year and a half under normal circumstances to upgrade to Level 4.

The Magician Guild here is a Level 4 Magician Guild, where you can learn up to Level 4 magic.

Hua Mulan was a Barbarian. She didn't know Wisdom and couldn't learn magic, so she squatted at the entrance, waiting for Han Huohuo to go in by himself.

Han Huohuo pushed open the door and walked in.

The Magician Guild was magnificent inside. It was a huge building, and the energy of various magic spells shone brightly in the magic hall.

In such a large building, there was only one person, a white-bearded Old Emperor, dozing off and sleeping.

Han Huohuo walked over and shouted loudly, "Old man, I'm here to learn magic, is that okay?"

The Old Emperor was startled. He opened his eyes and saw a colorful person standing in front of him. He instantly pulled out his magic staff and asked angrily, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Magician Guild?"

Han Huohuo had no choice but to repeat, "Old man, I'm here to learn magic."

The Old Emperor looked at the colorful clown suspiciously, putting away his magic staff. "Oh, you're here to learn magic? Then do you have proof documents?"

Han Huohuo was taken aback. "What proof documents?"

The Old Emperor said, "Of course, proof documents from the City Lord's Mansion. Did they agree to let you come and learn magic?"

Han Huohuo was speechless. "I need the City Lord's Mansion's permission to learn magic? I'm an outside merchant, how can I get proof documents from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"You are a merchant?"

"Of course, genuine article."

As soon as he heard Han Huohuo was a merchant, the Old Emperor nodded repeatedly.

Then he said, "It's not impossible to learn magic without proof documents from the City Lord's Mansion, but you can only learn one, and you have to pay for it."

Han Huohuo frowned. "How do I pay? How much?"

The Old Emperor said, "That depends on what kind of magic you learn. Level 1 magic is 1000 gold coins, Level 2 magic is 2000 gold coins, Level 3 magic is 3000 gold coins, and Level 4 magic is 4000 gold coins."

He gasped, taking a deep breath.

So expensive.

An ordinary person's monthly salary in this world is only about 5 gold coins. 4000 gold coins is 800 months of income, ordinary people simply can't learn magic.

Fortunately, he was a Lord and had money!

Han Huohuo pondered in his heart, learning magic wasn't necessarily better the higher the level, it was best to learn a useful one.

"Can I see the list of available magic spells first?"

"Of course you can!"

The Old Emperor took out the magic spell catalog available for learning and showed it to Han Huohuo.

There were many magic spells in it, but Han Huohuo wanted to prioritize learning Earth Magic because he had a specialization in Earth Magic.

After choosing for a long time, Han Huohuo took a liking to a few and hesitated, which one should he learn?

[Quicksand Trap]: Level 2 Earth Magic. Set up 4 quicksand traps on the battlefield to injure enemies and hinder their attack path.

[Hercules Shield]: Level 3 Earth Magic. Set up an impenetrable protective shield on the battlefield to protect the most important target. Duration depends on knowledge.

[Earth God Spear]: Level 4 Earth Magic. Shoot out an Earth Spear, dealing a large amount of damage to the enemy and causing an explosion on the spot.

Han Huohuo hesitated for a moment. The first two were battlefield magic, very useful in combat, and the last one was an attack magic, which looked quite powerful.

He thought for a long time.

Han Huohuo still chose to learn Earth God Spear. After all, Level 4 magic was too rare, if he missed it, he didn't know when he would encounter it again.

There was another reason. Heroes could change professions at Level 20. There was a trial quest for changing professions, which Han Huohuo had researched. It had to be completed alone, without bringing troops.

So, learning an offensive Level 4 magic was also a preparation in advance.

He also knew that Hercules Shield was better, but in the end, for the sake of his own life, he learned Earth God Spear.

He took out four thousand gold coins and handed them to the Old Emperor. Han Huohuo learned this magic, and the magic mark was recorded in his magic book.

Level 4 magic was already very powerful and could actually be used on the battlefield.

Han Huohuo was afraid of death. He was unwilling to charge forward with a sword and fight the enemy desperately, showing no sign of being a Lord at all.

When he came out, he saw Hua Mulan waiting bored at the entrance. Hua Mulan turned her head and saw Han Huohuo come out.

"Finished learning?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go."

"Where are we going now?"

"Of course to the Wang family, to settle scores with Wang Zizhong. Didn't you want to ask about Nine Dragon Mountain? Maybe he knows something."

"Then do we need to change clothes?"

"No need. The clothes we're wearing already have a bit of a camouflage effect. I thought of this long ago."

Hua Mulan was very thoughtful, and Han Huohuo didn't ask any more questions. Hua Mulan clearly had a lot of experience with this kind of thing. As they walked through the streets and alleys, they found that the streets were full of various soldiers.

Han Huohuo felt something was wrong.

He pulled Hua Mulan. "Something's not right. Why do I feel the atmosphere in Wanqing City isn't normal? Will there be a problem if we break into the Wang family now?"

Hua Mulan also felt something was off and nodded. "Let's wait until night."

At this time, they didn't know that these soldiers weren't targeting them, but rather that the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Northwest Grand Commandant had been very tense recently.

Li Dingbei was sending troops to Wanqing City, making the entire city feel like it was on edge.

Not wanting to attract attention, the two simply hid in a small alley.

There was a small restaurant ahead, and since they were hungry, they walked in.

"Boss, ten jin of beef, two pots of wine."

"Alright, please wait, guests."

These were two big customers! The boss's spirits lifted, and he quickly went to the back kitchen to prepare.

The two pots of wine were brought up first. After tasting it, they didn't expect the taste to be extremely spicy and pure. This was much better than the wine in Ke City.

"Boss, your wine is good!"

"Guests, you have such good taste. To be honest, this wine is brewed by our family ourselves, it's better than those famous wines on the market."

"Makes sense!"

Hua Mulan and Han Huohuo both praised it highly.

"Old man, judging by your accent, you don't seem to be from Wanqing City. Why did you open a shop in such a remote place?"

"To be honest with you two, our family fled here and didn't have much money. The cost of storefronts outside is too high, we really couldn't afford it, so we could only hide in a small alley and do a small business."

"Fled?"

"Yes, guests, you may not know, the Northwest is now the most stable place in the Great Qian Dynasty. Grand Commandant Li governs with an iron fist and has won the hearts of the people."

"Then where did you flee from?"

"We came over from the Southwest, crossing mountains and ridges. There, corpses are everywhere, blood flows like rivers, and there are battles between banditss and official troops everywhere. Among them, a group of banditss gathered together and have already captured several official cities. They kill without blinking, it's incredibly terrifying."

The boss sighed.

Han Huohuo didn't expect that his own place was actually the most orderly place in the Great Qian Dynasty.

But thinking that the Barbarian King could attack from here at any time, he couldn't help but sigh. At that time, he didn't know that Giant Armor had such a great effect on the Barbarian King.

Han Huohuo had no time to pity others, it was already very difficult for him to survive.

The boss said another sentence.

"A great bandits emerged over there, others call him the King of banditss, named Cold Blade. He has incorporated all 108 bandits groups, and now his momentum is extremely fierce."

"Cold Blade?"

Han Huohuo was very surprised. He had heard this name. This was the second Lord to level up at that time, and also the third Lord to upgrade their Main Camp.

He was quite arrogant, he didn't expect him to have grown so big.

According to the boss's description, this guy seemed to be getting rich through wartime plunder, completely different from his own method of steadily building the city!

The Southwest and Northwest are not far apart, but there is a natural chasm in between called Mount Xiaozhou. Mount Xiaozhou stretches for thousands of kilometers, separating the north and south. There are only some small paths in the mountains. It's not a big problem if a few refugees walk out occasionally, but if a large army enters the mountains, with high mountains and dense forests, it's too dangerous.

Anyway, that young man has nothing to do with him. He wished him good luck.
