Chapter 23 Poor Vivian Yang

  A magician, a great magician above level 8, a female magician who looks no more than eighteen years old, a magician who speaks with shyness and tension, as if she were a noble lady going out for the first time.

  Most importantly, she is still a little mute.

  The people around couldn't help but stare with wide eyes at the girl whose face was flushed red, her big eyes almost welling up with tears. Everyone seemed to have unconsciously put down their swords.

  This girl doesn't seem to pose any threat at all.

  Even Du Wei was stunned... This girl who spoke with a stutter, with an expression of fear on her face like a small rabbit, was actually an 8th level magician?

  But this robe and that badge are definitely not fake! Du Wei knew that the badges issued by the Magic Association all had anti-counterfeiting functions.

  Coughing, Du Wei loosened his grip on the fearful phantom's finger and looked at this timid girl: "Mage, you're saying that this little thing belongs to you?"

  "It's... uh no, not it." The girl finally burst into tears, and right under everyone's eyes, she actually shed tears: "This is my old teacher's. Can you please return it to me..."

  Really?

  Du Wei actually didn't want to pay back!

  What's the big idea? This little thing has thoroughly humiliated this group of people, leaving everyone in a sorry state. Du Wei really wants to take out his anger on this little thing and cut off its horn just as Solstice said.

  Looks like this female magician has come knocking on our door... The master of the house is already here, can we afford to not welcome her?

  If you want to play tricks... the other party is an eighth-level magician!

  Although this girl looks like she's very weak.

  "This... magician, please don't be in a hurry." Du Weina's temper was restrained, and his voice even softened a bit, as if coaxing a little girl, he said softly: "If this little thing is really yours..."

  "Of course, of course!" The female magician seemed to have heard a glimmer of hope, she wiped away her tears with force, and looked at Du Wei with hopeful eyes. Those innocent big eyes were crystal clear, the simple pleading color was really making it hard for people to bear their hearts against such a pitiful girl.

  "Don't be in a hurry." Du Wei said slowly: "Even if this little thing is yours, but as its master, I think you should take responsibility for the mistakes it has made, shouldn't you?"

  The female magician's face showed a flustered expression, and she looked at Du Wei with a timid gaze: "P-please ask... sir..."

  "This little thing is a high-level demon beast, right?" Du Wei said in a low voice: "As the master of this demon beast, you didn't take good care of it and let it run to the southern part of the empire! Don't you know that if a demon beast wanders into an area where people live, it will cause a big disturbance!"

  Watching his young master scold a level 8 magician with a straight face, Solstice couldn't help but want to laugh, yet didn't dare.

  But you're a great magician!

  Looking at the badge pinned to the girl's chest, Solstice swallowed hard. For a low-ranking magician like Solstice, the greatest dream of his life was to be promoted one day and wear a gold badge!

  "Ah...... this... this... this..." The female magician's face showed a guilty expression, and she hung her head: "My teacher went out. I was in charge of taking care of Chirp Chirp, but it ran away when my sister came to see me... I've been looking for it for many days."

  "Your mistake cannot be an excuse for the error you committed." Du Weizheng said loudly and sternly: "Do you know how much panic this high-level demon beast has brought to the residents of this quiet town by running to the edge of this mountain? The brave soldiers present here are all here to capture it! And do you know, your little pet just caused great harm to our brave soldiers!"

  The female magician was speechless, she just looked at Du Wei with eyes full of guilt and pleading.

  Du Wei's mind was made up. Looking at this female magician, she was probably the kind of person who rarely went out and didn't understand worldly affairs. This kind of greenhouse flower was easy to deceive.

  "This thing has brought panic to the place! Soldiers have shed blood and sweat to capture it, in order to protect the peace of the place! But you come and want to take it away, don't you feel a twinge of guilt in your heart?"

  Du Wei said, the female magician's head almost fell to her chest.

  Finally, after Du Wei finished speaking, the female magician plucked up her courage and opened her mouth carefully: "I... I... I am willing to apologize for its behavior towards you... sorry..."

  "Take back your apology!" Du Weide was unyielding: "If apologies were useful, what would the police be for?"

  "What is a police officer?"

  Du Wei coughed and covered up his own embarrassment. He had misspoken earlier, this world didn't have such a thing as police.

  "What I mean is..." Du Wei puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Can a simple apology really make up for the blood and sweat of our brave soldiers?"

  He's actually being a bit too much for this little girl.

  The search party that entered the mountain didn't actually shed much blood. The intense battle earlier, with its bloody and gory scenes, was all just an illusion. After dispelling the illusion, everyone simply fainted once and didn't suffer any injuries. At most, they might have a few nightmares when sleeping at night. It wasn't a huge loss after all.

  The only one injured was the female knight Yorin.

  Du Wei would naturally not waste this opportunity to show off, he properly took two steps forward and revealed the female knight being supported by his subordinates behind him.

  Ruo Lin's face was somewhat pale, a sign of weakness from sudden excessive blood loss, but overall she was fine. However, looking at Ruo Lin, who couldn't even stand steadily, with white gauze wrapped around her hand and disheveled hair, made the female magician feel even more guilty.

  "Can I compensate you in any way?" The female magician's eyes reddened again.

  Duvie let out a sigh, and his eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. He glanced at Sol'skia beside him. Sol'skia, who had been discussing pharmacology with Duvie every day since then, had already understood the young master's temperament to some extent. Seeing his gaze, she immediately understood, took two steps forward, slightly bowed her head and slowly said: "Respected great magician."

  The girl looked at Solstice's magician robe and immediately bowed her head in return: "Magician sir."

  At this moment, Solskia couldn't help but blush a little... He probably never thought that one day, an eighth-level or higher great magician would call him "Mr. Magician".

  "This, I think, your little pet has already caused harm to the area. If it is released so simply, I'm afraid that these soldiers who have been deeply affected will not be able to accept it in their hearts. Moreover, my master, the great Lord Rolen, the eldest son of Count Raymond, young Master Duve, was also deeply shocked by this matter today. Therefore, I think some punishment for this little thing is necessary."

  "No, no, no... If the old teacher comes back and sees it suffering, he'll punish me... The female magician was sweating: "If the old teacher gets angry, you guys will also..."

  "Respected great magician, I ask you, who is your teacher? I really can't think of which other magician in the empire could cultivate a disciple to become a great magician like yourself." Sorussia began to probe for information.

  The female magician looked embarrassed: "This... this... I don't know what to say."

  Solskaya slightly frowned, then immediately smiled again: "So at least you should tell us your name?"

  "Ah……" The female magician let out a sigh of relief, this question was one she could answer: "I-I-I'm Vivian Yang. An 888-level magician from the Magic Academy." After saying that, the girl suddenly remembered the minimum etiquette her teacher had taught her, and her face turned red as she quickly bowed and politely asked: "P-please may I ask your name, respected magician sir?"

  "Sorushya's face really turned red this time: 'I... Sorushya, Magic Academy... um, that is, a first-class magician.'"

  In the end, Solzhenitsyn would have gladly crawled into a hole in the ground.

  A first-rate magician is almost an ant-like existence for an eighth-rate magician! Many famous magicians on the continent who have reached the level of a great magician even have apprentices with two or three levels of magic.

  A first-rate magician, for a great magician who has already stood at the top of the magical circle, in their eyes, it's probably no different from a magic apprentice.

  However, this simple girl seemed not to understand these things, she still bowed her waist according to the etiquette. This immediately gave Solzhenitsyn a good impression.

  Look at that! An 8th-level magician is actually bowing to me, Solstice!

  "So, next, please express your intention to compensate." Du Weiqi said with a smile.

  "The, uh..." The female magician looked a bit embarrassed. She thought for a moment and took out a small package from her robe, opening it: "I have a Water Opal here, although it's only mid-grade, but..."

  She became more and more tongue-tied, finally under helpless circumstances, she could only hold a fist-sized water lily diamond with both hands, looking at Du Wei with pleading eyes.

  What's Orchid?

  Solstice is moved! Water Lapis Lazuli is the top material in water system magic! This crystal is used to make scrolls or store magic, it's a top-notch material! If there's an advanced alchemist who can use this Water Lapis Lazuli to create a magic wand, then when a water system magician casts magic, they can save at least one-third of their magic power! It can even speed up the casting of magic!

  Looking at this Water Orchid Jade, it's crystal clear and absolutely of high quality. If we just calculate the value of this thing, it's probably worth at least several thousand gold coins!

  Any water-based mage would be willing to pay this price, or even several times more, to get their hands on this!

  Solskaya opened his mouth, just about to speak, when Duvie's hand was already on his shoulder. Duvie's face was cold and indifferent, he even furrowed his brow, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the female magician: "Oh, is that all you have, a Water Opal?"

  The female magician's face turned red, her eyes were a bit flustered, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.

  Alas, this Water Lapis Lazuli is also a mid-grade item... but the truth is, it's something I don't need myself. As someone who doesn't use water-based magic, keeping it would be pointless... How could I, Vivian, stoop to using something useless to me as compensation for someone else?!

  May the all-powerful God forgive me!

  The female magician reproached herself inwardly, and quickly took out a small, pale green object from her bag. The object emitted a pale green glow that flowed like ripples on water, yet seemed soft to the touch. The female magician said anxiously: "And...and...there's still this..."

  Suo Er Si Ke Ya felt like her eyes were going to pop out!

  "Green green green potion!" Even Solksya seemed to have caught a stuttering habit in her excitement.

  Du Wei raised an eyebrow. As a knowledgeable person, he also knew what this green magic potion was.

  This is indeed a treasure that any magician would dream of!

  This magical potion is a supplement to replenish the magic consumed by mages! When an intermediate mage is in battle and their magic is depleted, if they can carry this small bottle of magical potion with them, they can instantly refill their magic!

  But looking at this female magician's hand holding such a big package... it can probably hold at least seven or eight bottles!

  This thing is extremely difficult to make, and the raw materials are also very rare. More importantly, it's a consumable! The more you use it, the less you have!

  Soroskaya felt her throat was a little dry.

  But Du Wei still looked unhappy, frowning at the female magician: "Is that it? Is the blood and sweat of our brave soldiers worth so little?"

  The girl's beautiful big eyes were filled with tears, she scratched her hair, thought for a moment, and then took out a small yellow bead and handed it over shyly.

  "This is the fireproof pearl I made myself."

  "What about the injury of my female knight then?"

  The female magician took out a few more beast cores! A dozen or so low to mid-grade beast cores, which had been extorted from Du Wei.

  "And what about the fright I've had?" Du Wei seemed to have transformed into a blackmailing thug.

  The female magician turned her luggage upside down and took out her last treasure... seven or eight magic scrolls!

  And then, Solstice glanced at it and almost fainted... These are all mid-level magic scrolls! Not some low-level magic goods! They're all mid-level magic scrolls!! With seven or eight of these things, they could easily trigger a duel between two magicians!!

  Seeing his little master still unwilling to nod in agreement, even Solstice felt a pang of guilt!

  This innocent and naive, even a bit silly female magician, the "compensation" she handed over is almost valuable enough to buy an entire city!

  Watching Du Wei still not nodding, the female magician cried. She rummaged through her luggage in a flustered manner: "I-I-I just brought these-these-these."

  Devil!!

  At this moment, Solskia, Robert Knight, and the crowd of people from the Rowling family couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the poor female magician crying, they even felt a sense of guilt in their hearts.

  His own little master, still with an unyielding attitude...... His appetite is also too big, isn't it?
