Chapter 37: The Unlucky Dodoro
`
The first update is coming soon...
When enemies meet, their eyes become red with rage.
This lean and sinister guy was none other than the Dororo that Xia Ya met when he first came down from the mountain in Wildfire Town. It can be said that this unlucky low-level mage was the one who sponsored our great Xia Ya's first pot of gold for his journey to dominate the world.
Duoduo's eyes widened in an instant, staring fixedly at Xia Ya, his eyes almost spitting fire. The two horizontal muscles on his cheek twitched non-stop, the corner of his eye muscle trembled, and his teeth chattered with a "ge ge" sound...
At last, Duoduo suddenly let out a loud roar: "You little scoundrel, you've killed me!!"
Duoduo's body suddenly stood up, opening his arms wide, and his hands fiercely pinched towards Xiaya's neck, almost pouncing onto Xiaya's body.
Xia Ya was also somewhat puzzled... No mistake, he had snatched a robe from this guy in the first place.
It's just a robe, after all.
The guy in front of him was gnashing his teeth, as if he hated him so much that he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from himself - Come on, brother, it's just a robe, I didn't dig up your ancestral grave, nor did I rob your wife...
But seeing this despicable guy suddenly bursting into rage, with eyes blazing red as he pounced over, Xia Ya's heart did indeed feel a few parts guilty, especially since he was sitting on the ground, one hand holding onto Poor Bug, and his other hand happened to be pressed underneath. Doro pounced over in an instant, both hands grasping Xia Ya's neck as he shook him violently, his voice almost cracking with sobs: "You've ruined me! You've ruined me! Bastard! Bastard!!"
Xia Ya was pinned down by the opponent, after all, his physique as a humanoid monster was not something that a weak low-level magician could hurt. Dororo didn't even have the strength to drink milk, let alone the energy for a honeymoon, but Xia Ya didn't even turn red or pant, the thick muscles on his neck were hard like rocks in Dororo's hands.
Duo Duo Luo was almost fainting, panting heavily.
Xia Ya finally couldn't help but ask kindly: "That... what's wrong with you?"
What's wrong?
Duoduo's face was filled with grief and indignation as he stared at Xia Ya...
…………
…………
To be fair, Duoduo absolutely has reason to hate this bumpkin, and... this reason is very solid!
Since meeting this bumpkin in Wildfire Town that day, Dororo's life had become a nightmare.
This seemingly simple mountain villager, personally gave Doro a vivid lesson on "no good people in the wild fire town", and took away the reward for attending class - Doro's leather cloak.
He was robbed of a leather cloak, although it's a bit embarrassing, but after all, for Duoduo Luo, the cloak wasn't worth much money. The problem is that on the cloak stolen by this country bumpkin, there was an item that was extremely important to Duoduo Luo!
Magician's Badge!!
It was an oval-shaped badge, about the size of a copper button. It looked just like a button - in fact, this unsophisticated turtle really took it for a button. The value of this badge itself is more than one hundred times that of the robe! If he had known this earlier, the turtle would not have sold the robe at such a low price.
The magician's badge was literally the only lifeline for Duoduo Luo!!
On the mainland, whether it is for the Odin Empire or the Byzantine Empire, people who can use magic are always the targets of strong recruitment by the ruling class in various places. In other words, magicians belong to a privileged class.
Although Dororo's power is low, he can run from the castle to the Wildfire Plains, and on this road, it is calm and peaceful, relying on this magician badge as a talisman.
Imagine him, with his meager strength, wearing such a luxurious robe, with a substantial amount of luggage (although he went bankrupt, but he took away quite a few magical gems and the like that he had bought back with borrowed money), and being so slender - on this journey, it's inevitable that he would encounter several thieves or local ruffians who covet him.
But Duoduo walked over, yet no one dared to provoke him, all because of that badge!
On the mainland, unless you are desperate or have a deep-seated grudge that cannot be shared under the same sky, or your skills have reached a level where you can defy heaven, otherwise, no one would dare to provoke a magician easily, even if he is weak.
Whether in the Odin Empire or the Byzantine Empire, the laws of both empires clearly stipulated that anyone who offended a magician would be severely punished! It has to be admitted that the rulers of both empires issued such decrees, which was a disguised attempt to curry favor with the magicians and recruit more powerful magicians to assist them.
So, no matter where Duo Luo went, as long as he had that magician's badge with him, no one dared to openly do him harm. Even if his abilities were weak, daring to make things difficult for a magician was a bad strategy for the ruler.
What? You think that's a bad thing, it's great! You provoked him, so the local nobles or rulers will be very grateful to you, and then they'll catch you and chop off your head as an example - this is simply a heaven-sent opportunity! It just happens to coincide with the idiom "thousand gold for thousand miles horse bone"! If we publicize this matter vigorously, the implicit meaning is to declare to all magicians in the world: "Look! Look at how much I respect magicians! Even a low-ranking magician like you will receive such preferential treatment here. Seeing this situation, other magicians, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and come to me!!"
Even in the lawless town of Wildfire, where all sorts of thieves and bandits roamed, no one dared to mess with Doro, just because he wore that magician's badge!
Because the ruler of Wildfire Town also needs to recruit mages, if word gets out that a mage was treated unfairly in Wildfire Town and it gets a bad reputation, then the ruler of Wildfire Town will have a hard time getting help from mages again!
Only Xia Ya, this bumpkin who just crawled out of the mountains, would dare to openly rob a magician.
And Dororo, who had lost his crest of the magician, was like a little girl stripped naked and thrown into a den of thieves - don't forget that he still carried quite a bit of money with him!
Xia Ya ran away, dead without a witness, and Duoduo didn't have the magician's badge that could prove his identity. In the "No Good People" Wildfire Town, within less than an hour, he was targeted by several groups of robbers.
He was weak, facing a group of robbers as fierce as wolves and tigers. His low-level earth magic could only raise a small cloud of dust, making people sneeze or blind their eyes... On the night when Xia Ya left Wildfire Town after eating and drinking enough, Dodo had already been visited by several batches of robbers one after another, robbed of all his luggage, stripped naked and thrown outside the city wall of Wildfire Town to freeze in the cold wind.
He is indeed very unlucky.
If it was within the territory of the Byzantine Empire in any city, he could go to the local religious department to register the loss and reapply for a replacement magician badge.
The problem is... Ye Huo Town is a place where no one is in charge, and there are no temples here.
Duoduo spent a day as a beggar in Wildfire Town, and was even beaten up at night for taking another vagrant's spot. After dawn broke, he finally found a way out.
A merchant caravan passing through Wildfire Town, preparing to cross the Wildfire Plains to the Odin Empire, discovered Dudoro. As a magician by origin, although his strength was lowly, he could still manage to write and calculate accounts.
The poor magician who was driven to desperation sold himself for the price of two meat pies and became a proud apprentice in a merchant caravan, following them as they set foot on the Wildfire Plains, heading north...
If things go as usual, Duoduo Luo will mix and mingle in this business group. With the city's mannerisms and cunning that he has learned from his time in Wang City, it's possible that after a few years, he'll become a qualified accountant.
However, unfortunately for them, this merchant caravan encountered even more unfortunate events on the Wildfire Plains.
The caravan moved cautiously along the edge of the red wasteland where the dwarves lived, they were cautious because according to usual custom, dwarves would not leave the red wasteland, it was safe that way.
But this time, they happened to meet the earth spirit.
A large group of goblin warriors raided the merchant caravan's camp, which was unusual because the merchants had hired several mercenary warriors as guards. Normally, goblins rarely attacked caravans with armed protection. But this time was an exception.
Moreover, what's even more bizarre is that the leader of those goblins was incredibly skilled in martial arts! Although goblins are usually weak in combat, under their leader's command, they managed to take down six mercenaries in just one meal's time.
That dwarf leader was waving an iron hammer in his hand, looking extremely angry and anxious.
Later, after listening to the merchant team and the earth spirit head's negotiations, the other party declared: It is the leader of the earth spirits in this area nearby. It was very angry because...
Its queen has gone missing.
