Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Upon hearing this, Wayne raised an eyebrow.

"This is the first time I've heard of this. It seems you really have to come out to hear things that aren't often recorded in books."

"But are there any areas in this region that resemble ice fields now?"

The words fell.

The young man smiled and said, "From what you're saying, you're planning to take on this commission?"

Wayne shrugged.

"It depends. After all, we don't have much time to stay. If there's something readily available, we can just go find it, and that won't be a problem. But if we have to wait until winter comes, then there's nothing we can do."

Upon hearing this, the young man nodded and then explained, "That's perfect. Three thousand miles away from Cloud Sea City, there is a snow mountain range with layers of snow-capped peaks. Among them is the Eastern Origin Snow Ginseng, but it's very difficult to find."

"What's the explanation?"

"The Snow Ginseng is entirely ice-blue, and when it is ripe, it usually has small fruits about the size of a thumb hanging on the branches, one per grade."

As he spoke, he took out a picture of a magical plant and placed it on the table in front of him.

"You can take a look at the sample images, so you don't happen to encounter something you don't recognize."

He then explained, "The reason why the Snow Ginseng has been entrusted to be kept here for three years is because although the Snow Ginseng usually grows on the top of snow-capped mountains, it rarely survives for more than half a month."

"Half a month?"

"Is it because it can only survive for half a month?"

The youth shook his head.

"Of course not. Besides its rarity, it's more because it contains a wisp of the essence of heaven and earth, which has a fatal attraction for any living being, especially ice elemental life. Its medicinal power is secondary. Even if it is still in its seedling stage, once it is discovered by magical beasts, it will basically be eaten directly. Only a very, very few Snow Ginseng can escape."

Wayne stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then asked the question that concerned him: "Since it's so hard to find, what's the reward?"

"Very generous."

After finishing his sentence, the young man continued, "The client is a level six ice elemental wizard who comes from the ice plains in the north of the empire. She seeks the Snow Ginseng in order to try or find a way to break through to level seven using the primordial essence of heaven and earth contained within it."

Before Wayne could respond, the young man's voice rang out again.

"If you're not in a hurry, find a place to sit for a while. Around eight o'clock, the clients usually come here to sit for a short while."

Wayne frowned slightly. He no longer cared about the reward; now it was his turn to worry about it.

"No wonder the commission has been up for so long, even a level six wizard can't find it."

Seeing Wayne say this, the young man was not surprised at all, and then shook his head and laughed, "Being cautious is a good thing, but in today's orderly era, being too cautious will only make you miss a lot of wonderful moments."

"The reason for entrusting this task is to seek out some people who are favored by heaven and earth to find it. The fact that a level six wizard cannot find the Snow Ginseng does not mean that no one can find it. Just like elves, ordinary people can also form contracts with them, and these ordinary people are those who are favored by the Holy Domain."

Upon hearing this, Wayne nodded in agreement.

"Relying on luck, that's certainly true; I've always been lucky."

"Let's talk about the compensation."

"Aren't you afraid of danger anymore?"

Hearing the young man's teasing, Wayne blushed, but fortunately the young man didn't tease him any further.

Then they started talking about compensation.

"As for the reward, she offered a 'Heart of Heavenly Ice'."

"The Heart of Heavenly Ice?"

Wayne was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, he thought to himself that he couldn't tell whether the talent was high or not, but he must be a wizard with a lot of opportunities, otherwise it would be difficult to take out the Heavenly Ice Heart, and it was an extra Heavenly Ice Heart.

According to Wayne's understanding.

The Heart of Ice, the Heart of the Deep Sea, the Heart of the Earth, and so on, are among the most precious treasures for their respective elemental wizards.

Its effect, taking the current Heavenly Ice Heart as an example, is that if you fuse a Heavenly Ice Heart into your heart, your affinity for ice elements will instantly reach 200%. Furthermore, as time goes on and the Heavenly Ice Heart continues to transform your body, transforming it into a Heavenly Ice Body, at which point this number will reach 500%.

"In other words, if you have top-tier ice element affinity, once you have the Heart of Heavenly Ice, your talent will be five times that of other top-tier ice element affinity users."

Corresponding.

When casting ice element spells or aggregating ice element magic, both the power and the speed of aggregation are five times that of top-tier ice element affinity.

However, compared to the Heart of Heavenly Ice, the Heart of Earth appears in greater numbers, because the four continents of the Holy Domain are still expanding, so naturally more treasures like the Heart of Earth are being created.

At this moment, the young man's voice rang out: "It seems you know. Since you know, then I don't need to explain. How about it?"

"Should we accept the commission?"

Wayne nodded: "Of course, it's hard for me not to be tempted by such a treasure."

"So, the information fee and the deposit for accepting the commission total 6 low-grade magic crystals. As for the drinks and juices, consider it a treat for you."

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"Your juice and drinks are certainly expensive."

With a thought, six low-grade magic crystals appeared on the counter. The young man put them away.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Wayne nodded.

"Let's have some of their signature dishes."

He stood up and said to Aurora, "Let's go, let's find somewhere else to sit, otherwise they'll ask us for money again."

The young man was immediately delighted.

…………

After a while.

Wayne was struggling with his steak, knife and fork in hand. Aurora, on the other hand, was all smiles.

A pair of gentle, curious eyes gazed at Wayne before her, or rather, at Wayne who exuded a sense of life. This was a Wayne that Aurora had rarely seen during her time at the academy.

Just then, a rough voice rang out from next door.

"Little adventurer, looks like another rookie adventurer who got tricked by Lant, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne looked over and saw a burly man whose voice matched the man's perfectly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to actually try to charge me for the meal again!"

The words fell.

Not only the man who had just spoken, but all the other burly men and seasoned adventurers burst into laughter.

The adventurer's tavern was bustling with activity for a while, but Wayne wasn't angry because he could tell that the laughter was well-intentioned.

After a burst of laughter.

Wayne started chatting with the big man and managed to glean some information from him.

For example, news from the snow-capped mountains three thousand miles away, or news from the person who made the request.

According to the big man, she was an extremely beautiful, icy beauty who would come to the tavern for a short while every day.

The reason they gathered here in such large numbers was simply to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Wayne was curious, but not particularly expectant, because he had seen far too many beautiful women.

Whether it's a dangerously beautiful woman like Sophia, a high-and-mighty flower like the Golden Dragon Princess, or a stunningly beautiful older sister like the Marquis of Rose, etc.

Having witnessed it firsthand, Wayne felt a certain demystification regarding the term "beautiful woman."

Or, to put it another way, they have a very high level of immunity.

.........

Half an hour later.

Wayne finished his meal and planned to leave, since he didn't have the time to deliberately look at a beautiful woman.

Wayne stood up and looked at the burly man beside him, saying, "Uncle Will, we're leaving now. This is our first commission, so we need to get ready."

Will nodded, and then, to Wayne's astonishment, suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.

"Brothers, this is Wayne, the rookie adventurer. He's about to embark on his first quest. Let's cheer for him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers erupted.

"Haha, congratulations Wayne!"

"Keep it up, Wayne!"

"Keep it up, rookie adventurer!"
