Chapter 548: Making up the ground
Chapter 541 Making up the foundation
There was an adventurer chapter right in the town, and it was super easy to register, and after filling out some random content, one could become a trainee adventurer novice.
To become a full-fledged adventurer, in addition to completing some novice quests, you have to go to the chapter to complete further registration.
These didn’t really matter, Owen was busy getting trained.
The adventurer chapter would also provide simple training for new adventurers, otherwise there really weren’t many who could survive, just the various accidents in the wilderness could take out half of them, and Owen was very vocal about that.
Most of the new adventurers don’t have access to any knowledge and skills, the former is exclusive to the nobles and mages, the latter is the capital of life, who would teach them freely, such as the wilderness survival and so on, I have never heard of it, not to mention the variety of professional supplies in the modern era.
Generally speaking a weapon, a water bag, a backpack, is the adventurer novice all.
If you want to survive in the wilderness with these, you either have to be professional enough or lucky enough, and if you’re not, you’ll naturally be buried in the wilderness and become part of the food chain.
Owen listened attentively to the veteran’s distracted narration, then learned how to grip the weapon, how to swing it, and then it was gone.
What do you expect for free, go spend money if you want to learn more, the lame veteran in charge of teaching newcomers in the adventurer’s chapter relies on this for his livelihood, otherwise he can’t even afford to drink wine.
In this regard, Owen has no hope, just think of hurrying to fight monsters to upgrade and add points, not open hanging traveler life is simply a coffee table full of cups.
No, no, almost back to the old way, Owen took a deep breath and secretly told himself that he was not running to fight monsters and upgrades to open the hang, he is to learn, in order to sharpen themselves, refueling, Ollie give!
After calming down his emotions, Owen took a task of escorting a merchant caravan, only he didn’t expect the owner of the goods to be a gnome?
Unlike the smart and studious goblins in the territory, Owen only saw greed in that pair of small eyes. The thin hawkish nose perfectly reflected the meanness of the other party, even if Owen showed that he was a spell caster, the other party was still petty and only willing to pay the price of an adventurer newcomer.
Owen, who was not good with words, could only accept this price in the end, and then joined the caravan with the two newcomers in town.
This caravan was the one that lost two people before, in fact, they lost more than two people, so they recuperated for two or three days and recruited more guards before they set off.
In fact, the so-called guards were just civilians with a simple weapon and hadn’t received any decent training at all, such as the two newcomers who joined with Owen, one was a fellow traveler that he had met when he was moving bricks, and the other was a teenager who had joined the adventurer’s chapter earlier than him.
But the two sides did not have any communication, one is not familiar, the second is struck by the reality is bad enough Owen grabbed all the time to learn, the predecessor teacher hidden spell notes were he carefully flipped through the various notes, for this world is strictly limited to the framework of the spell system gradually have a clearer concept.
Although he was addicted to learning, Owen always set aside a part of his energy to focus on the caravan, because he didn’t trust the goblins.
The journey was very boring, the caravan took the safest route, and more than once, before the loss of manpower that was unlucky to encounter the mobile kobold bandit group, so all the way safe and sound, but Owen felt more and more that the atmosphere of the caravan was a little wrong.
Feeling bad Owen did not notify anyone, taking advantage of the opportunity to quietly slip away in the morning poop.
The caravan certainly wouldn’t waste time staying behind to look for a temporary guard who was nowhere to be found, so after a bit of bickering, the caravan set off again.
Owen, who was unfamiliar with the road, didn’t actually go far, but quietly followed the caravan until the next morning, when he spotted two fresh earthbags not far from where the caravan was camped, and instantly knew that his suspicions had come true.
Peeling back the floating soil, the two faces that were both strange and familiar made Owen unable to resist a few chills. Owen didn’t know if these two were robbers’ scouts discovered by the caravan, or if that greedy goblin simply didn’t want to pay the reward for hiring them, anyway, these two people with dreams of getting rich died.
Because he had prepared some extra dry food in advance, Owen insisted on waiting one more day in the field before entering Sea Breeze Town.
Sea Breeze Town was much bigger than Little Forest, because it was close to the harbor and belonged to one of the important transit points, so it was very prosperous, and many people who didn’t like the seaside environment would choose to settle here.
After paying the entry tax, the crowds of people entering the town made Owen secretly feel relieved, so he wouldn’t have to worry about being targeted by the merchants.
And there was also a place here for Owen, a man of culture, to use his skills, that is, copying scrolls.
The skills needed to copy scrolls were not that profound, even a mage apprentice could be competent, only that the success rate was a little lower, and if there was no talent in this area, it would be easy to lose money in the early stages.
The good thing is that the inner core is not original, Owen is at least a divisional divine sense of a god or goddess, no matter controlling the body, or guiding the magic power, or even learning, it exceeds ordinary people by a long shot, which allows him to quickly master the skill of copying scrolls.
But this didn’t make Owen rich, because of the spell bits, it was impossible for him to provide scrolls that exceeded his own upper limit, otherwise the countless mages that swarmed around him would demolish him alive.
Without the quantitative advantage, the profit that could be earned was limited, because copying scrolls also cost money, and after removing the failure rate, a mage apprentice could only barely make a living out of it, but couldn’t make a lot of money unless he was able to copy one-ring spells.
The good thing is that Owen’s sword blade protection is still relatively popular, an extra layer of leather armor defense, even if it can only protect the upper half of the body, but at least it can mitigate the damage, to avoid stray bullets, in the battlefield, but it can save their lives.
The mage’s hand is no good, basically no one wants it.
Because its role is to reach something in the distance, but the distance is limited, who would buy a scroll for something that can be done in two steps?
Even the nobles who had money and no place to spend it wouldn’t buy it, with that kind of money it would be better to buy scrolls of elemental systems such as flame, at least it looked good.
During this period of time Owen tried to record the sword blade protection every day in the way of a normal mage apprentice, and then completed the transcription to familiarize himself with everything a mage goes through to grow normally.
Obviously having become a god and goddess, but learning the things of a mage apprentice from scratch, Owen didn’t think it was useless, but merely making up for what he lacked before.
And now that he was standing tall enough to look back, it was easier to see where to go, greatly saving the time spent.
For example, now, Owen had evolved from the stereotypical reproduction of his predecessor’s cat drawing to a more in-depth level.
Core runes, spell construction, magic filling, this was the truest aspect of spells.
When combined together, the more complex the impact will be greater, and when a certain threshold is reached, it can even pry the power of the law, which is exactly what Owen needs.
As a god or goddess, the deeper the understanding of the laws, the more powerful it would be, although Owen had reached this level, it was the same as touching higher mathematics without memorizing the nine-nine multiplication table, it didn’t affect the continuation of learning, but the efficiency was greatly reduced.
So right now Owen didn’t rush to contact more esoteric spells, but rather worked on zero-ring spells, trying to perfect the foundation that should have been there a long time ago.
