When the middle-aged man in the gray robe spoke, all the voices in the square disappeared. This is because the residents of Carter City’s awe of the gods has been carved into their bones, and the middle-aged men acted as The bishop of Carter City’s Temple, who is even the spokesperson of the gods on earth,

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The Bishop in Gray said to the black-robed man bound on the cross: "God is merciful! As long as you can confess to my god, the god can forgive your sins..."

Before the Bishop Grey's words were finished, the black-robed man suddenly laughed frantically, his voice hoarse and sharp and harsh: "You god clubs will pretend to be fools! If it weren't careless, I wouldn't be let by you A group of guys attacked and caught alive..."

Seeing the black-robed man's hard-faced performance, the gray-robed bishop gave up the "performance", and a sacred and majestic prayer sounded in his mouth.

"Evil, accept the judgment of my god... Law: Purification!"

As he said, the holy emblem in the hands of the bishop of the gray robe emitted a dazzling white gold light, which enveloped the man in the black robe tied to the cross.

"what!!"

The screams of screams echoed in the center of the square.

The man in black robes shrouded in white light sprayed out golden flames from his seven orifices.

Before long, the black-robed man burned to a pile of ashes, but the wooden cross that bound him was still intact.

"Praise you, my god is eternal!"

The chanting sound came from everyone's mouth, neatly and uniformly.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Victor also made the appearance of a fanatic, with words in his mouth.

After the trial, Victor followed the crowd and left the temple square.

Along the way, Victor heard people discussing that this black-robed man who was tried was an evil mage named Hill. He led his minions to cause riots in Carter City, and his purpose was to underground the City Lord’s Mansion. Treasure... Fortunately, Lord Leo, the second son of the city lord, is the chief paladin of the temple, take this villain! Otherwise, more people may die...

"Master Leo?"

After Victor heard the name, his heart was tight: "Yes! In the underground ruins, I seem to have heard a familiar voice... Maybe, this is not the same name!!"

The hatred between the temple and the wizard has been around for a long time.

Victor, who had just become an apprentice of the mage, had to leave his former residence with his belongings for his own safety and to avoid causing trouble to Uncle Leo, and rubbed shoulders with Uncle Leo who came to look for him later. pass.

Before sunset, after Victor occupied an unowned house at the junction of the old city and the noble quarter, there was another place to stay.

With clear water and hard bread loaves, Victor ushered in the second night after crossing in the house just occupied.

After filling his stomach, Victor cleaned his hands, and then carefully took out his gains from the underground ruins from the adventurer's backpack.

With the dim light of the candle, Victor was finally able to carefully count the trophies.

"This glass bottle looks like an anti-drug..."

"No, the scroll box is actually empty!!"

"Looking at it... what kind of pocket is this? It's obviously a magic material bag for the mage class... Hey, there are 10 gold coins in it... earned it!"

"..."

"Let me see... What is the content of this hard-covered book? Oh, it's a handbook for sorting out the collection... What about this one? Notes..."

"Look at this one again... Huh? It's blank..."

Victor dubiously flipped through the blank hard-covered book in his hand, but found nothing.

"Right! I can also try to scan with Ultrain..."

Slapped his head, Victor almost forgot his biggest advantage, "In the game, all programs run automatically, and now..."

"Oh! It's not convenient..."

While murmured, Victor gave instructions in his heart: "'Mr. Scholar', scan the blank book in my hand!"

A series of information emerged in Victor's field of vision:

"Dip! Scanning is complete!"

"It was discovered that books emit unknown radiant energy... According to the comparison of information in the database, the probability of recording arcane magic words in books is the highest, 91%."

"Do you analyze and crack it?"

"Crack it now! At the same time, store the obtained data..." Victor continued to issue instructions in his heart.

After waiting patiently for half an hourglass, Ultrain finally returned the cracked information, and on the originally blank book, many arcane language written with mysterious symbols appeared out of thin air.

Victor excitedly turned the book written with arcane magic words to the front page, and read it attentively.

But unexpectedly, Victor encountered a difficult problem.

"Strange? Why can't I read the arcane text in this book? Do I still need some necessary conditions?"

Victor didn't realize that after crossing, he could hear, read and write the unfamiliar "Walstad Continental Common Language" without affecting the communication with others at all. It was already a lucky thing in itself! Otherwise, his situation will only get worse...

"If you don't understand, you won't understand!"

Victor curled his lips and thought confidently: "I am already an apprentice to a mage. As long as I cast the simplest zero-level spell-'Reading Magic', all this will be solved!"

Just as Victor was about to cast the spell, his body suddenly froze, and the expression on his face became tense.

"... How should the spell be cast?"

Victor overlooked the most important thing: he was not playing a game!

In this real world, spells can no longer be cast smoothly by stimulating your mind and activating a certain icon!

"This... what can we do about this?"

"In the game, there are no specific steps to cast spells?"

Scratching his hair irritably, Victor was stumped by this most basic question.

"Perhaps... I am the first apprentice mage who can't cast spells... What a shame!"

"But the problem is, I haven't received any learning about wizard knowledge... I don't know where to go to learn..."

"Could it be that... even if I become a mage apprentice, do I still need the guidance of an intermediate mage?"

Victor was thinking, his face changed.

Just as he frowned, Victor suddenly saw the note he had placed aside, which made his heart move.

"Legend mage's notes... Maybe I can find the answer here..."
