Chapter 24 The Eve of the Assessment
call!
A small fireball flew towards the dummy target.

Bang!
The fireball hit the target of the dummy and exploded, instantly smashing the wooden dummy to pieces.

Amazing power!

After the basic meditation method breaks through to the Dacheng level, the mana increases, and the power of the spell becomes much stronger.

The defense of the invisible armor has also been enhanced a lot.

When practicing, the retention rate of magic elements increased from [-]% to [-]%, and the efficiency of cultivation increased significantly.

Li Wei turned and left the spell training ground.

He walked outside the mage tower, preparing to have a good meal to celebrate.

"There are still more than 20 days until the apprenticeship assessment, this time you should secure No.1."

Apprentice assessment No. 1 rewards a bottle of potion, and Li Wei is bound to get it.

Now that the entire mage tower knows his name as a genius, there is no point in hiding his strength.

It's better to live up to this name and get more resources.

Levi walked into the McNair Tavern at the junction of Lower Town and Uptown.

"A roast chicken, a small salad and a cup of hot milk tea."

Li Wei ordered the food skillfully, then sat in the corner and waited for the waiter to serve the food.

He has eaten at this tavern many times.

Meals at McNair's are cheap, affordable and delicious.

Usually, many professionals gather in the Mai Le Tavern to eat, drink and have fun.

I heard that the owner of the tavern is a retired professional bard.

After a while, the waiter put the food in front of Li Wei.

While eating, Li Wei listened to the chatter of everyone in the tavern.

"The price of food has risen again, and it is nearly five times more expensive than when it was winter last year."

"Hey! I hope this winter can pass quickly, otherwise I really don't know how many people will starve to death."

"This year is really difficult. There are orcs infested outside the city, and the food convoy has been robbed repeatedly. Thanks to the city lord's mansion opening the granary and taking out the grain stored in the warehouse, everyone did not run out of food."

"If it's more expensive, at least there's still a bite to eat."

"It's still the city lord who is kind-hearted. The price of food has risen to such a high level, and he is willing to distribute relief porridge in the lower city for free."

……

Li Wei silently ate roast chicken, drank hot milk tea, and ate two mouthfuls of salad from time to time to relieve greasyness.

Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

Ordinary people in Maple Leaf City think that the city lord is a good person and a great kind person.

But Li Wei understood that the city lord was making a fortune.

What kind of food convoy was robbed again and again, all of them were acting.

How could the City Lord's Mansion continue to transport food into the city from the outside without catching the murderer?
It would be a good idea to place the blame on the orcs.

The main reason is that some time ago, an operation to encircle orcs was launched, and many people knew that there were orcs outside the city.

This found a good reason for the city lord's mansion to throw the pot away.

In addition, there is another doubtful point that some smart people can probably see.

How big is the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion?
How could it be possible to continuously provide food that can sustain the needs of the entire city.

People who are so smart will naturally not tell others about their doubts, so as not to cause trouble.

In this kind of world where smart people are wise and safe, ordinary people can only keep in the dark and continue to praise the kind city owner.

The city lord also played a good hand.

On the one hand, they made a lot of money by taking advantage of the winter food disaster, and on the other hand, they won a lot of popular support by distributing relief porridge.

At this time, even if someone is willing to stand up and expose the truth, no one may believe it.

Knowing that all of this is just a fake show directed and performed by the City Lord's Mansion, Li Wei still can't figure it out.

There should be no need for transcendent forces such as the Warriors Guild and the Professionals Association to get involved in this kind of thing.

For them, this is not harmful or beneficial, but at least it is not beneficial or beneficial.

Why would they help the City Lord's Mansion do things that are completely useless?

Unless there are other secrets behind it.

After eating, Li Wei paid.

"Hello, the total is 95 copper coins." The waiter said.

Li Wei put down a silver coin, got up and left the Mai Le Tavern.

The waiter said with a smile on his face: "Guests, walk slowly, welcome to come next time."

Prices are rising everywhere, and prices are skyrocketing.

On the way back to the mage's tower, Li Wei saw the guards of the city lord's mansion distributing relief porridge at the junction of the upper city and the lower city.

The porridge recipients lined up from the gate of Shangcheng District to the gate of the city.

At a glance, the streets were crowded with crowds, and it was a vast expanse.

Even the city guards came here to maintain order.

Li Wei took a few glances, then turned and left to return to the Mage Tower.

The price of food has skyrocketed, but it has little effect on the Mage Tower.

In the next few days, after Li Wei finished practicing mana every day, he began to practice spells.

After the mental power was completely exhausted, he would lie in his room and read a book to understand the basic abilities and occupation systems of various professionals.

He is preparing for the battle ahead.

On the tenth day, the potion ran out.

Li Wei's mana cultivation speed slowed down significantly.

After thinking about it, he finally found Gu Ze.

"Teacher Gu Ze, I want to buy a bottle of junior potion."

Gu Ze did not dissuade Li Wei this time. He said: "A bottle of primary potion in the Mage Tower is worth 5 contributions, and a contribution is worth 1 gold coin."

Li Wei took out five gold coins and handed them to Gu Ze.

Gu Ze showed surprise, he didn't expect Li Wei to be so rich.

He also wanted to lend Li Wei five contributions.

Gu Ze accepted the gold coin without asking how he got here.

"Come back to me tomorrow."

The next day, Li Wei got a bottle of primary potion from Gu Ze.

Slightly different from the bottle that Reina gave him, the primary potion that Gu Ze gave him was light green.

The effect is about the same.

After pouring three drops of potion into his mouth, Li Wei quickly corked the bottle tightly to prevent the potion from volatilizing.

He didn't know the price of the potion before, so he used it more casually.

Now knowing that a bottle of potion is worth 5 gold coins, every time I practice, I feel a pain in the flesh.

After two days, Li Wei adjusted to using two drops of potion every day according to his own cultivation speed.

Spend more time practicing spells.

In a blink of an eye, winter is coming to an end.

February 28.

It hasn't snowed since five days ago.

The snow is melting and thinning every day, and today it has exposed the ground.

Li Wei was standing in an open space, the surrounding snow had decreased significantly, and the white snow had begun to melt.

He raised his right index finger and concentrated on casting spells.

In three seconds, a spark swelled at the fingertips and turned into a fireball.

Li Wei pointed his finger at the open space and made a gesture of shooting.

"Oh!"

The fireball flew out, hit the ground, and exploded violently.

When the light and fire cleared, a large pit nearly half a meter deep appeared on the ground.

Compared with the original small fireball technique, the power of the small fireball technique has been greatly improved.

Li Wei looked at the ground, and a few lines of writing were outlined by the flow of melted snow.

[Basic Meditation (Dacheng)] 663/4000
[Small Fireball (Level 1623 Proficiency)] 2000/[-]
[Invisible Armor Technique (Level 212 Proficiency)] 2000/[-]
After more than half a month of hard work, the casting time of the small fireball technique was reduced from five seconds to three seconds.

"Tomorrow is the apprentice assessment, I hope everything goes well!"

 Congratulations to "Book Friends of 1210 Yang" for becoming the master of this book!
