Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 77 The Month: War and Fire

Asking an 8-year-old to think about the root causes is like asking a newborn baby to think about the ultimate philosophical questions.

Three days was indeed not enough time for Lu Cang to figure out this ultimate question.

……

The kingdom's special envoy has finally arrived today.

This is a special envoy who departed from Lord Reand's capital city.

The capital is far away. If one were to travel from such a distance, even traveling day and night, it would take at least a month.

At this moment, in Iz's room.

Before Lu Cang and the others stood a "Kingdom Envoy" with a mustache, wearing a red top hat, and behaving with humility and propriety.

Behind him was an attendant dressed similarly to him, holding a large plate covered with a long black and gold cloth.

"Lord Lu Cang is indeed a man of great talent."

"Our Kingdom of Loren has produced such a genius, and the king is very pleased."

"He personally selected the most suitable reward for you."

He waved his hand, and the attendant behind him stepped forward.

The special envoy unveiled the long black and gold cloth.

Lying beneath the long cloth was a long, entirely black log, its surface covered with countless speckled dots like colorful stars.

Iz spoke up: "Void Spirit Starwood."

"Excellent material for crafting a magic wand, no less powerful than my wand."

Iz smiled at Lu Cang and said, "There should only be this one in the entire Kingdom of Loren. It seems the king has really gone to great lengths."

After listening to Izzy's explanation, Lu Cang roughly understood how precious the Void Spirit Star Wood was.

The envoy continued with a smile, "As for the matter of the Death Priest, His Majesty the King is already aware of it. Once you go to the capital to confirm some matters, a special pardon token can be issued for you, allowing you to legally hold the position of Death Priest."

It seems the king really values ​​himself.

Perhaps it's also because of Izzy and the others.

Using his hands, which were covered in white gloves, he presented Lu Cang and the others with a bound manuscript.

"This is a manuscript left by An Zheng."

"The king instructed me to entrust this to you two."

He said this to Izzy.

Iz seemed to understand something and nodded solemnly.

Accept the manuscript.

The kingdom's rewards consisted of only these two items.

But in reality, the value of the Void Starwood alone far exceeds the reward of saving a town.

Monster invasions have broken out in places large and small around the world.

There were many battles fought against the monsters.

Saving such a remote town is hardly worthy of such a valuable reward as [Void Starwood].

If every town that survives has to receive a reward equivalent to [Void Starwood], the kingdom will truly go bankrupt.

The purpose of the Void Spirit Starwood was more to win over a genius like Lu Cang.

On the same day, the gold coins earned from the previous beast tide were also distributed.

The money has arrived: 21 gold coins.

The space in Lu Cang's ring was filled with gold coins.

It feels great to be rich.

Today is the last day of rest.

There's nothing left to do in Raine.

The next morning was the day to leave Raine.

Nothing unexpected happened during the departure.

On their way away, the villagers were very reluctant to part with Iz and his companions, and gave them many local specialties as gifts.

Chi Cheng readily accepted them all.

After walking away, Lu Cang gazed in the direction of Raine Town.

I also felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Raine Town is where I came from in this world, and I will never forget it.

...For the next few days after leaving Raine Town, we mostly traveled in the Dragon Rhino Cart.

Occasionally, Akari would jump out of the car.

Not long after, it ran back, carrying a full load of spoils.

The Dragon Rhino is extremely comfortable and spacious, and the ride is not bumpy.

During the journey, Lu Cang and Obades finally got to chat and he finally understood why he hadn't seen it before.

During his time in Rennes, he worked as a chef in the hotel restaurant.

It cooks most of the meals I eat on a daily basis.

Because of the kitchen, they never get to see each other.

During the night, while resting by the campfire, I watched a stone wearing a chef's hat stirring a large pot with a large ladle.

It feels both incongruous and reasonable.

Oh, and it even tasted a sip of the soup...

So it turns out it doesn't eat stones.

Chi Cheng also said that it eats stones.

Akari, you've really done all sorts of bad things.

……

Travel, explore, hunt monsters, study magic, and listen to their adventure stories.

In fact, Izzy and his companions are much faster than the Dragon Rhino.

But taking risks is not about rushing to do something.

It lies not in the journey itself, but in the journey itself.

Izzy doesn't call herself a savior; she simply lends a hand whenever she sees someone in need.

As for the places that can't be seen, Izzy won't bother to care.

This peaceful time allowed Lu Cang to calm down and reflect on magic, on himself, on Messer, and on the fortune teller.

After all, it was my first time in a completely unfamiliar world.

There are just too many unknowns.

After learning a new piece of knowledge, the next question will soon arise.

Heading north from Raine, after traversing several rugged paths and passing through a few small villages, you enter the Nephalem Forest and are about to leave Raine's territory.

The monsters along the way also became increasingly powerful and wild.

This place is far from human habitation, and no adventurers would come here specifically to clear out monsters. Over the years, monster tides have drifted through this area, giving birth to monsters here.

Monsters have long lifespans and will not die on their own if no one cleans them up. Therefore, the farther away from human habitation, the more numerous and powerful the monsters will be.

Fortunately, Izzy and his teammates are strong enough.

These monsters can be easily dealt with.

Lu Cang would also frequently join the battles, trying out new magical ideas while also accumulating some souls along the way.

Nearly half a month has passed since I left Raine.

Izzy teaches him about six spells a day. He says that learning too many spells at once, which are too complicated, will make his thinking confused. He will wait until he masters the root magic.

There's plenty of time to learn miscellaneous skills and techniques, but the most important thing is to think about the root cause.

Even so, after half a month, he had mastered more than 150 kinds of magic, including more than 40 self-created spells.

The magic power finally broke through 700 million. As the total magic power continued to rise, the rate at which the upper limit increased became slower and slower.

However, unleashing all the magic at once now has caused considerable destruction.

Having mastered so many spells, the magic power required to cast a spell at once has increased to 20.

Given the current defensive capabilities of defensive magic.

Even a fourth-tier monarch-level monster shouldn't be able to hurt me anymore, and I'm already capable of inflicting considerable damage on fourth-tier monarch-level monsters.

Their strength has improved dramatically compared to before.

I wonder what would happen if we encountered a monster capable of destroying a nation.

9 month 29 day.

The people sat or lay on the ground, gazing up at the night sky.

As Iz watched the scroll come to a close and the sky stopped moving, she said, "It seems the harvest month is over."

"The month of war and fire has arrived."
