Lierdo Reed sighed deeply.
He went to visit a small village outside the city and encountered a difficult problem.
It is said that monsters behave strangely in some areas of the forest, and some people have seen monsters around the village.
Reed City is very small, with not many adventurers and not even a guild.
Therefore, he, the city lord, must organise guards to defeat the monsters.
This matter is already very troublesome, and there is an eldest son in the family who is eyeing his position.
As a result, when he came back, he found that the traitor had gone crazy.
Lid not only killed his younger brother but also killed the strongest guard and the most talented guard.
Lierdo issued a wanted notice for Lid and rubbed his head with a headache.
If a wave of monsters attacks, this small town will be doomed.
A few days ago, he wrote a letter and sent it to his friends. Calculating the time, the adventurers should be arriving soon.
I hope that the small town that the Reed family has protected for generations will not be destroyed in his hands.
······
Because the matter had been resolved, his brother and sister Kai and Lola only stayed for one night before going back.
Rey went out with them and went to the house of his younger brother, who was killed yesterday.
To be honest, let alone now, even the original body has no feelings for them, but it is a life after all.
Rey contacted other brothers to help with the burial and finally left a sum of money and left.
······
Rey was about to go to the store where he bought magic stones as usual when he suddenly saw a large group of people gathering on the street.
He walked over curiously.
Those people didn't seem to be from Reed City.
After a rough induction, there should be more than ten people who can release magic power.
There are also two people who don't hide their aura, even junior magicians of the same level as him.
(What's going on? Has the security been upgraded?
It took Rey a moment to understand what was going on.
These people were adventurers from other towns, and a notice was posted on the street.
It probably means that there are monsters in the forest outside the city that need to be cleared. After obtaining the magic stones, you can exchange them for coins.
As for why these people are attracted, it is because the transaction amount of magic stones is 1.5 times the market price.
This is a very exaggerated magnification.
Even if there are not many high-level monsters outside Reed City, as long as the number increases, you can still make a lot of money.
But this only attracts low-level adventurers.
Rey thought it was quite interesting, and he happened to need magic stones, so he decided to sign up.
The adventurers are selecting teams based on their strength, and two low-level magicians each plan to form a team of five.
Rey's strength is at the highest level, so he naturally wants to go to the best team.
He walked up to the red-haired woman who was a junior magician and said, "Excuse me, can I join your team?"
Maxine looked at Rey.
She was beautiful and young and looked a few years younger than herself. She liked him quite a lot.
It's a pity that this time she and Rob made a bet in advance and couldn't lose, so it had to be businesslike.
"What level is your adventurer?"
Rey was stunned for a moment. "I'm not an adventurer."
Maxine never expected that he would say that, and she couldn't help but feel a little amused. "Young man, are you a local?"
"Yes."
"Then you may not know that our job is very dangerous. Only adventurers with strong enough strength can participate."
"Do I have to be an adventurer? I think my strength is pretty good." Rey said modestly.
Maxine had known about this small town for a long time. It was because the people inside were too weak and there were not many adventurers that they had to seek help from the outside.
Rey looks younger than her, and he's not even an adventurer. I don't think Rey has enough strength.
You know, strong is relative.
With her strength, she is the ceiling level of this small town.
Maxine didn't want to hurt Rey, so she said tactfully, "Yes, we need adventurers to participate. You can go and see if other teams can accept you."
Rey asked another man who was a junior magician. Rogge saw the conversation and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
After asking several teams but being rejected, Rey was about to give up.
"Little brother, if you don't mind, just follow our team."
The person who spoke was a simple and honest man, and there were three people following behind him.
The brown-haired man said, "Hey, captain, you don't have to be a good guy like this."
"What does it matter? We didn't come here the same way in the first place. We are short of people, so it wouldn't be a good idea to bring him along." The honest man persuaded.
"Okay, okay. Just listen to the captain; I think there is no problem." Some petite and short women said this.
The last man with glasses curled his lips and said, "I think it's because your parents are handsome, but I don't have any objection."
"So what?" the woman said, then turned to look at Rey. "What did you say?"
Rey glanced at these four people. Only the captain could release his magic power, and the others were at most on the threshold.
A little weak, but...
"Then please take more care of me these days."
He is just a newbie, and these people may be able to teach him something.
Several people decided to conduct the first operation in the afternoon.
After asking about the hotel where they were staying, Rey went to buy some magic stones as originally planned and met Captain Vincent on the way.
He looked in a hurry, as if it was because of what happened last night.
"Rey, do you want to join the guards of the City Lord's Mansion? Ah, forget it; with your character, you probably won't be able to do it."
Rey was a little speechless; couldn't he think better of it before asking?
However, it is indeed impossible for him to be a guard.
After thinking about it, he recommended Kai.
"That boy, he has good eyes, but he doesn't seem very smart. By the way, your strength is not weak. If you want to go out of the city, remember not to go out at night."
"Why?"
"It is said that someone saw D-class monsters coming out at night."
D level, which is the junior magician of the human race.
Rey wondered if he should go out and look for it at night. The highest magic stone sold in the store was E-level.
After he returned home, he immediately entered the room to improve his strength. No matter what, he still had to be fully confident in his first adventure.
[Points: 24500]
The magic stones that had not been used before turned into powder one by one.
[Sharp Teeth (Perfect), 100 points]
[Roar (Perfect), 100 points]

[Burning blood (perfect), 1000 points]
[Strengthening (perfection), 1000 points]
[Hidden (perfect), 1000 points]
The harvest this time was not ideal, and there were basically no usable skills.
Burning blood can enhance physical abilities by boiling your own blood, but it can easily lead to anaemia, so it is generally best not to use it.
Rigidisation can make the skin as hard as steel, but D-level monsters can easily cut iron into mud, so this skill will soon become useless.
Hiding might be useful, but he doesn't need it yet.
If you have high points requirements, you can wait until you need to fill them up.
As for the previous ones, are they actually considered skills?
Helpless, Rey could only raise one more magic to the intermediate level.
[Fire Magic (Intermediate), 24,000 points]
A flame ignited in his palm. Compared with the swift wind, the fire attribute was more destructive and cool.
Rey can clearly feel that he has many more attack methods, but his rating is still A+.
As a junior magician, he can forcibly use two attributes of intermediate magic. The S-level combat power rating is stronger than him, which is somewhat unimaginable.
For the rest of the time, find Emily to learn new skills.
Her vacation has passed, and she doesn't know what it will be like when she sees him today.
