Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned.
"An adventuring mage? What is that?"
The old man replied: "A mage that has bat capabilities."
Benjamin’s confusion lessened by hearing this. In what ways did the mages outside the kingdom progress, why were they so many strange categories?
A mage that had bat capabilities? If one was a mage, they should already have bat capabilities right?
Seeing this, the old man could tell that Benjamin has still not fully understood the situation, he frowned a little, then explained: "Mages, if you were to know how to throw a fireball, you would appear to be better than another mage by just a little bit, thus, all these categories would seem strange. But you must have seen that many people that knows magic, a lot of magic, some of them would start shivering like crazy the moment they fought someone, they can’t even aim properly. In terms of fighting power, they are not much different from a woodcutter with an axe. These kind of mages did not have any bat aptitude, thus, we ended up ing up with the terms, adventurer mages and potion mages."
Hearing this, for some reason, Benjamin just thought of the two second-class mages at the Academy of Silence.
Looks like…..those two really fit into that category.
So, not all mages actually have the natural aptitude for "Battle". As to why this term did not appear in the kingdom, it was probably because those without natural talent for battle has probably died by the hands of the Church a long time ago.
Thus, with some hesitation, Benjamin nodded and said, "I guess so."
"It’s not easy…..escaping from the holy dogshit kingdom. Your level should be quite high, if not you would not have survived the mad dog-like pursuit of the Church. "The old man scratched his head, then continued, "Did you say that you want books dealing with magic? Help me with a task, and if you succeed, I will give the book to you."
Hearing this, Benjamin thought for a while. He did not agree right away out of caution, but asked: "What books do you have?"
If the books the old man gave him were useless to him, it would be a waste of time.
"Be at ease, I know what a person like you needs the most right now." The old man turned around, and dug two thick books from under the bed out, and shook it in front of Benjamin, "One Introduction to Magic potions, One Probabilities of Magic, if should be enough for you to be well versed with magic and not just be like an ignorant savage."
Benjamin did not have the time to study the two covers of the books properly before the book was put back under the bed by the old man.
Based on the names, it was indeed what he really needed right now, but not knowing why, he had a feeling he was being cheated due to his lack of knowledge.
"Your books wouldn’t be simply be found elsewhere right?" he asked.
Hearing this, the old man "hmphed."
"Elsewhere? You think this is watered beer?" He proclaimed arrogantly, "I bet other than the ones at the Mage’s Guild, these two books would only be one of three copies in the whole of Icor."
Benjamin wanted to bargain, and shrugged, saying: "Then I should just go straight to the Mage’s guild, why should I trade with you?"
"The Mage’s Guild will not lend their books to a non-member." After saying this, the old man laughed coldly, "I’m advising you with good intentions, don’t join the Mage’s Guild, you will regret it."
....Oh?
At that moment, Benjamin sensed some sort of conspiracy.
The old man’s hatred towards the Mage’s Guild could be felt from the beginning. At first, he thought the old man was just introverted, but now, there seemed to be other reasons.
The young man previously has mentioned the Mage’s Guild before, and even spouted a bunch of inside information that couldn’t be confirmed to be true yet...
"How about this, I’ll help you, but you have to pay me a small deposit." Thinking of this, he suddenly made this decision, "The deposit is everything you know about the Mage’s Guild."
"No problem." The old man promised immediately, "As long as you get what I need, everything bad about the Mage’s Guild, I could end up talking for a day and night about it."
Seeing the old man relax suddenly, Benjamin started to worry, how hard…...would this favor be?
But, he has already promised, he would not regret anything.
After half an hour, Benjamin left the shop.
He returned to his room in the hotel, firstly, he recounted all the stuff he obtained from "Mor’s Magic Store
