NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53: Red Snow.
Chapter 53: Red Snow.
Ben watches Levi make some goods appear and disappear, but after a while, he gets bored and goes to sleep. While waiting for Clara and Otis to return.
The spatial space will grow larger each time he advances to the next mage tier. The spatial storage spell is great, but in the end, it’s not an attack spell. To use it to attack, he needs to master the space element and reach at least the seventh-tier mage equivalent of a grand master mage.
There are two space movement spells, blink, and teleport, but they are hard and dangerous to learn. He might sever his limb if he is not careful. It’s better to wait until he reaches the fifth-tier mage.
To create new magic, like in the novel, he can only laugh inwardly. If this is his first time dying and suddenly being reborn in a fantasy world, he might have that dream. But he dies on earth 99 times. Although he is not a sage, he knows his limit.
It’s like ordering normal people to build a nuclear reactor, following the blueprint, and trying to improve it without any knowledge. For Levi's magic, it’s like a nuclear reactor without proper understanding; it’s better to follow the rule.
Levi, after storing his stuff inside the spatial storage, closed his eyes.
[Mission: Create the greatest hero.]
[Reward: Random.]
[Death point Cost: 10,000 DP]
[A random body will be chosen.]
[Power and ability will gradually restore themselves, similar to the main body.]
[Warning: the host soul will perish if it dies.]
[Further detail will be added when the mission starts.]
[Death point collected: 5092.51 DP]
There are changes in the mission; now his body will be random, which means he can be anything, even an insect. It looks like the voice can no longer create a cloned human body, like in the first mission. In the second mission, he gets turned into a turtle because the world interferes. Nevertheless, this time his power will be restored in other worlds gradually. That means he can use everything, including the Blood Venom Dragon bloodline.
The only problem right now is that the reward is random. But so far, the voice hasn’t given him anything useless.
While Levi contemplates, Clara and Otis return from hunting, and after finding out he can use the spatial storage spell, they get excited like kids. Because of that, he takes out the stuff in spatial storage and puts it back in multiple times until he almost depletes his mana.
Primitive magic mages throughout history never had the space element infinity, and they normally revolved around one of the five basic elements. Except for Clara and Otis because there is blood and poison from primitive magic mages.
"It’s great now that we don’t need to carry anything." Otis smile.
"That means we can store more food," Clara said.
Ben yawns and waits for the food to be cooked.
-
In the Cirean Kingdom, a group of mercenaries, men and women, are riding a horse and escorting a caravan on the snowy road.
Inside a carriage, Ethan looks out the window and can see trees and snow move past them. His wife and daughter sleep soundly because of exhaustion. He looks at his wife's tired face and feels guilty. It reminds him of when they both eloped because her parents refused his proposal.
Although his wife manages to mend with her parents again thanks to his daughter, His wife's parents still hate him. It’s ironic that now he needs to ask his wife's family for help.
Suddenly the carriage stops, and a muscular man riding on the horse goes beside the carriage.
"Mr. Ethan the scout finds a large number of monster footprints not far from here; we will wait until everything is safe before moving."
"I understand." Ethan nodded. The muscular man is the leader of the mercenary group that he hired to escort them out of this kingdom. Although the price is expensive, it was worth it because of the mercenary group's reputation and skill.
As time passes, a man riding a horse returns to the caravan and reports it to the mercenary leader. Seeing no sign of the monster, they move again and only stop when the day gets darker.
Few weeks later, they reach the border with the Leston Kingdom. Along the way, they get attacked by monsters, but with their number and strength, there is no casualty. Ethan's destination is the Brusan kingdom, the land of merchants and the base of Gryphon Merchant, one of the top merchant organizations.
"Mr. Ethan, we will soon be in the town near the border to resupply." The mercenary leader spoke.
When they arrive, Ethan can see the high stone wall protecting the town. Compared to other towns and cities, the town here doesn’t suffer a large casualty from the monster tide. Because of the far distance from Violet and Pondover forests.
After all, the Cirean Kingdom had a large territory, and although the army is defeated at the Pondover Forest border, the kingdom already sends reinforcements to reclaim the land.
After showing their identification, they enter the town and search for an inn. Suddenly, the caravans and horses stopped moving. When he thought about what was going on, the muscular mercenary leader came near the carriage to report.
"Mr. Ethan, in front there is a monster tamer and his tamed horn bear."
Curious Ethan comes out of the horse carriage and sees a group of four. One of them is the horned bear. "Can’t we just move past them?"
"I am sorry; the horses refuse to move."
Without a choice, they can only move once the horn bear has left. But without noticing, a cute girl with brown hair came out of the carriage, and when she saw the horn, her eyes sparkled, and she ran toward the monster.
The mercenaries that escorted them were pale, but it was too late to stop her. Some tamed monsters only allow their master to touch them; if others touch them, the monster might attack them.
"Big bear." The little girl not only touches the large horn bear but even climbs the monster's body.
Ethan and his wife's paler faces turn to fright. Quick, save my daughter!"
The mercenary group is ready to save her, but soon they see something unbelievable. The horned bear lay on the ground while the girl jumped on the monster's body like a trampoline.
Levi, Clara, and Otis are surprised but don’t do anything.
"Can I move?" Ben growl.
"No, wait until she comes down." Levi smile.
Ethan and the rest finally snap out of it and go to the horned bear to get the girl down. After a while, the horned bear stands up again.
"I am sorry for my daughter's behavior."
"It's fine." After saying that, Levi and the rest left.
Levi wanders the street to see if he can find anything interesting. Right now he has no problem with money thanks to the dead noble son who became a bandit in the violet forest, and he also takes a mission from the mercenary guild to hunt bandits. Robbing bandits is the fastest way to earn money. It reminds Levi that in his past life, he robbed a cocaine dealer or gang.
While he is walking, a shady-looking man comes toward him. Sir, I am a dealer; are you interested in a slave, especially a woman slave?"
"Sorry, I am not interested." Levi wants to leave. What was the point of buying a woman slave when he already had three mouths to feed? The only reason he doesn’t chase the three gluttons away is for his safety. This world is dangerous.
Wait, are you mercenaries?" We had a strong man that could be used as a shield or bait."
Listening to that, Levi stops. He can create a zombie and used it as shield, but he might find something interesting. “Fine, show me."
“Yes, yes, follow me."
Even when there is a law prohibiting the sale of slaves. The slave merchant still exists; even on modern-day earth, slavery hides in the shadow. Even a famous company had slaves in secret. He knows because he also had to deal with slavery in one of his past life.
Levi and the rest arrive at the warehouse; a building this size to hide slaves is impossible without people's notice. That means some people hold important positions in this town, protecting them.
After Levi enters, he can see many humans inside the cages; the number of slaves is more than a hundred.
"Please walk around; if you find anything that you like, you can tell me; the price is negotiable." The dealer smiled. The monster tide manages to enter the kingdom. This caused the slaves to be stuck here, without income to maintain this place. Because of that, he had no choice but to go out and try to find a customer to sell the slave to.
On the outskirts of the town, near the border with the Leston Kingdom, there is an area where the snow has turned red from blood. But after a hailstorm, the red snow disappears and turns white.
