Chapter 230: Specialty: Killing Goblins

Xia Nan was very happy to see Weirouer in the team.

As for the reason, naturally, it wasn't because of that fair, delicate face of the other party, which often only appeared in noble families and was not exposed to wind and sun.

But because of her identity as a "mage."

Why are spellcasters, especially professionals like mages, so popular among adventurers on the Aifala Continent, even if they are only mage apprentices who have mastered part of the cantrips, they are still chased by many professional-level teams?

The fire and thunder composed of magic particle traction, those damage-type magic that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, are only part of the reason.

The most important thing is the comprehensiveness that mages of this profession show in dealing with various situations.

A 1st-level mage with a complete spell list.

Even if you exclude those 1st-ring spells that might be a bit strenuous to use, and ignore the improved versions of spells that might need some channels to memorize.

Starting from the most basic "cantrips" at the bottom of the spell list pyramid.

There are many types that can greatly improve the adventure experience and strengthen the fault tolerance rate.

"Message," crossing the barrier of space in complex environments, initiating a one-on-one private chat directly with the target, and even being able to penetrate or bypass obstacles;

"Mage Hand," a floating palm composed of magic particles and mental intent, within a range of 30 feet, you can control it to do anything that an ordinary human palm can do;

"Dancing Lights," creating 1 to 4 floating magic light sources in the air, which can move freely, without having to consume precious manpower on holding torches or carrying lanterns.

These highly functional spells, for adventurers deep in the wilderness with no one to rely on but themselves and their teammates, having them or not is almost two completely different experiences.

If they are spellcasters who possess space storage-type magic, even if they are in the wilderness far from towns, they can even eat fragrant delicacies just out of the oven and drink ice-cold beer every night, which is a wonderful experience that ordinary adventurers can't imagine.

It had been nearly a year since he transmigrated, and he finally had a legendary "mage" teammate.

It had to be admitted that Xia Nan felt a little expectant in his heart.

Especially since he had already had contact with the other party before, and knew that this young girl's personality seemed quite good and not difficult to get along with.

Regarding this, Weirouer also seemed very surprised.

Her gaze just swept over, and this mage girl with a slender build and a high ponytail "swooshed," jumping up from the sofa like a spring.

On her face was a standard smile that was a bit stiff but paid great attention to etiquette, showing eight teeth.

"Mr. Xia... Xia Nan, I didn't expect to see you here, it's, it's really a coincidence!"

As expected of a legendary mage, this level of politeness is indeed different from the rough adventurers in town.

Xia Nan sighed in his heart.

On the other side, seemingly surprised by Weirouer's performance, Wood welcomed Xia Nan into the house and asked tentatively:

"You and Weirouer... knew each other before?"

"Met once in the association because of a commission a few days ago, she helped me with a few things."

"So that's how it is." Wood was enlightened and nodded with a smile. "That's just right, teaming up with acquaintances is always easier to coordinate than strangers."

"You roughly know the mission content, time is tight, so I won't waste time saying any polite words."

"Let me introduce our team configuration here first, so it will be easier to cooperate later."

"First, Young Master Haian, you know him."

While speaking, Wood stepped aside, giving up his position.

Standing at the back of the room, the half-elf Haian, who had just tied the wooden longbow back to his back, proactively stepped forward and extended his hand to Xia Nan with a smile.

"Long time no see."

"I am truly sorry, because of my family, I couldn't entertain you properly when you came to Niumu last time."

"If there is still a chance in the future... I will definitely make up for it."

Shaking hands, he shook his head slightly, signaling the other party not to mind.

Xia Nan sized up this second son of the Niumu City Lord.

Compared to his appearance when they met in the Mist Forest last time, it was obvious that the other party's overall state was much more haggard, and he didn't look very energetic.

But his physical condition should be fine; the silver-white long hair inherited from his elf mother was still neatly tied behind his head, and color could be seen on his face.

It was worth mentioning that nearly a year had passed since their last meeting.

He had transformed from a bottom-level adventurer who only mastered 【Spinning Slash】 into a proper professional.

But the other party still hadn't taken that step, and judging from the strength of his aura, he was still at the stage of not having obtained a professional level.

Making him feel a bit emotional about the passage of time and the rotation of worldly affairs.

"Then there is Luka, like me, also a guard for the Wickliffe family, a warrior profession."

Looking in the direction Wood introduced, what appeared in his view was a sturdy, square-faced, honest-looking man.

He opened his mouth at Xia Nan but didn't say anything, just smiled shyly and reached out to scratch his head.

Hmm, his strength looked quite good.

Sweeping his gaze over the sturdy muscles on the other party's arms and the iron axe and shield in his hand, Xia Nan estimated the other party's combat power level and combat style.

Should be positioned as a front-line melee in the team?

"And this lady, Ms. Sawa, dragonborn warrior." Wood introduced one by one in order. "The clan she belongs to is an old acquaintance of our Wickliffe family, worthy of trust."

The quarrel with the other party in the room earlier made Wood already prepared for Sawa to transfer her anger to Xia Nan, and he had prepared his speech, just waiting for the other party to flare up and immediately stop it to reduce the impact on the atmosphere of the entire escort team.

But what he didn't expect was that Sawa, who had been aggressive and dismissive because of Xia Nan's "newcomer professional" status,

at this moment didn't show the kind of bad offensive behavior he had imagined.

Although she wasn't very enthusiastic, she still crossed her arms, kept a cold face, and nodded slightly to Xia Nan to signal.

Dragonborn?

Reflecting that strange face that looked like a humanoid lizard in his pitch-black eyes, Xia Nan couldn't help but feel a bit curious in his heart.

Having stayed in River Valley Town for so long, he had seen many races like dwarves, elves, and orcs, but dragonborn... he was indeed seeing one for the first time.

In his brain, he couldn't help but recall some fragmented information about this race that he had learned through various channels during this period.

Unlike what he had once thought, it was a species born from the mating of dragons and humanoid creatures in this world. ===== CHAPTER 231 =====
