The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Just as Laya was sitting there and resting, a bunch of grass not far from her suddenly started shaking.

With a crash, a little head with a black and white ponytail and green leaves stuck to its head suddenly popped out.

"Raya, are you okay?"

Fran struggled to pull out her feet from the thick grass, patting the yellow mucus on her body and asking with concern.

Raya shook her head:

"I'm fine. Fortunately, you lured away those troublesome ooze monsters, otherwise our assessment would have failed."

Fulla smiled and waved her hands, just when she was about to say something.

"Click~"

With the sound of leather boots stepping on dead branches, the last assessment student, Bill Liaton, also walked out from behind the tree in the other direction.

Compared to Fran, who was covered in mucus and looked a little embarrassed, Bill, who had also attracted the hatred of half of the ooze monsters, was much cleaner.

It was already three days since they entered the outskirts of the Ibi Forest.

At this moment, the three of them were all much more embarrassed than when they first entered the forest, and they also had a strange smell unique to the humid jungle.

As for their mentor Jinlong Tina, she had already used invisibility magic to hide in the distance and record their every move.

The graduation practical examination of the Royal Capital Academy of Magic usually lasts for more than a week.

(Except for the first class. The students of that class are basically legendary. In addition to their status as students, they basically also hold positions such as deputy leaders of major legions)

During this period, each instructor must record the performance of these students to use as reference data for subsequent assessment and evaluation during the graduation ceremony.

This is also a record that witnesses whether a student has truly become a qualified mage.

If you want to enter a work unit like the Palace Mage Corps, which has high salary but few tasks, this record must be beautiful enough.

(It is worth mentioning that when Gandalf, the dean of the Oracle Town Magic Academy, graduated from the Royal Capital Magic Academy, he completed the single-player mission in only 1 day and 6 hours in the actual combat assessment and became the The top graduate of that year was directly recommended to the Palace Mage Corps.)

"Senior Bill, are you okay? Are you injured? Do you want some water?"

Seeing that her sweetheart had returned safely, Laya quickly greeted her warmly.

This standard behavior of forgetting friends after seeing sex caused Fran next to her to roll her eyes. She had never seen her caring so much about him just now.

Facing Laya's initiative, Bill did not reply.

He was still wearing the black robe of unknown material, walked to Laya with a calm expression, and suddenly bent down and squatted down.

In an instant, there was barely three centimeters between their bodies.

"Well!"

Raya's eyes suddenly widened when she looked at Bill who was so close.

It was the first time that she was so close to her crush in front of her best friends, which made the always carefree Laya blush instantly, completely losing her sassy demeanor when she was fighting the Tyrannosaurus Rex alone just now.

However, Bill did not make any romantic confession as expected. Instead, he seemed to be observing something carefully.

He carefully opened the eyes of the dinosaur corpse sitting under Laya, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he walked aside with confidence, took out the water bottle and poured it into his palm.

"Tyrannosaurus Rex, the king of the third-order monsters, judging from the crystal turbidity in its pupils, it should be a dying old dragon."

Bill said calmly while cleaning his blood-soaked palms with water.

At this time, Fran also walked up to Tyrannosaurus Rex, squatted down and patted the opponent's tail, and said helplessly:

"It's a pity. Although this big guy is not inferior to some fourth-level monsters, it is not in line with our goals."

"This time not only was the work in vain, but the magic trap we spent the whole day setting was wasted."

After experiencing the sudden "intimate contact" just now.

Laya managed to calm down her beating heart like a deer, and said with a blushing smile:

"It doesn't matter, traps can be set up anyway, right~"

“Besides, we didn’t leave empty-handed!”

Saying that, Raya smiled mysteriously and suddenly raised the object hidden in her right hand high.

"What it is?"

Fran looked at her curiously.

As Laya's palm slowly opened, a dazzling green light instantly caught the eyes of Laya and Bill.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Laya excitedly held up the emerald green, palm-sized prismatic magic core, and shouted with a smile:

"Look what this is!"

"this"

Fran looked at the magic core lying in Raya's palm, widened her eyes and shouted in amazement:

"Third-level wind magic core? Laya, you are so lucky, right?!"

You must know that according to Qiangwei's official statistics, the magic core output rate of third-level monsters is no more than one in ten.

In fact, this ratio is much lower than official statistics. In many cases, it is normal to kill dozens of level 3 monsters without any magic cores. Otherwise, the price of magic cores would not be so high.

Unexpectedly, Raya got a magic core on her first successful hunt. I have to say that her luck was really good.

"Hehehe, when we return to the Green Forest City and sell it, we can pay back all the money we borrowed from our tutor."

Raya giggled and scratched her head, while quietly observing Bill's reaction not far away.

Unfortunately, the expected expression of surprise did not appear.

Bill looked at the beautiful crystal and just nodded calmly, then walked to a big tree and sat down cross-legged.

He is now just an ordinary person with a relatively strong body, not the twin star of the royal capital who once shone brightly.

Even with Fran's magical assistance, the series of extreme parkour exercises in the jungle just now consumed Bill's energy. If it hadn't been for the deep meditation that also exercised his physique, he would have collapsed on the ground by now. .

Looking at Bill who was concentrating with his eyes closed, a trace of loss flashed in Laya's eyes.

But soon, this cheerful girl hid this feeling of loss in her heart, turned around and chatted with Fran with a smile on how to find traces of the fourth-level monster next.

"I originally thought it would not be difficult to defeat the fourth-level monsters with our strength, but I didn't expect that finding them would be the real problem."

Fran rubbed her greasy hair that had not been washed for three days and sighed helplessly.

Laya nodded and said in agreement:

"Yes, the outskirts of the Ibi Forest have been cleared over and over again by those mercenaries. How could there still be such high-level monsters?"

After saying that, Laya rolled her eyes and suddenly suggested in a low voice:

"How about we go to the forest?"

"no!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Fran suddenly interrupted Laya's words, and at the same time, with a serious expression, she said what was in Tina's heart, who was hiding not far away.

"But we have been exploring for three days, and there is really no trace of the fourth-level monsters outside the forest."

Laya kicked the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex next to her in frustration.

"Look, it can even become the overlord in the outer forest."

Looking at Laya who pouted, Fran sighed and said softly and thoughtfully:

"Have you forgotten what Teacher Tina said? This was once the territory of the elves, although the high-level monsters and magic nodes outside the Ibi Forest were basically wiped out by the mercenaries."

"But don't forget, the magic node inside the forest has never been found! There are a large number of high-level and even legendary monsters there. We are looking for death if we enter with our current strength."

"Okay~~"

Raya nodded dejectedly.

She understood that Fran's obstruction was out of good intentions, but she really wanted to show off herself now.

If it were normal Laya, she would never think of such a dangerous move.

Fran understood what she was thinking, gently held her hand, and whispered comfort:

"Let's explore further to the side, there will definitely be something there"

Before he finished speaking, Bill, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes.

Those emerald-like eyes suddenly looked toward the southeast and shouted sharply:

"Who? Come out!"

After receiving Bill's warning, Raya and Fran immediately stopped talking.

She picked up her wands one after another. While Fran was looking at the dark and dense jungle vigilantly, she also applied two light green wind blessings that increased speed to Bill and Raya.

Bill, who stood up, drew out the thin sword from his waist and looked warily in the direction of the noise. A small, blazing light yellow fireball began to appear in Laya's hand.

After three days, they already had the prototype of an adventure team.

Bill, who has both ears and eyes, assumed the team's security and combat containment position.

He could always detect all kinds of clues before the enemy arrived, so the three of them avoided many unnecessary battles.

Fran, who is proficient in wind magic, serves as a auxiliary position in the team.

Before the battle begins, she will set up various trap magics in a targeted manner, and at the same time, she can also apply various buffs to the other two people.

Occasionally, Fran can also use the wind blade to output a certain degree of damage during battle. It can be said that she is a very versatile existence.

As for Raya

As the undoubted main attacker of the team, Raya's fire magic is definitely the team's biggest killer.

Just look at the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was bombarded with fireballs, and you will know how terrifying the output of this girl who specializes in fireballs is.

"Who is hiding there sneakily? Come out quickly! Otherwise we can only think of them as enemies."

Raya shouted, and at the same time, the fireball in her palm suddenly surged, from the size of an orange to the size of a basketball.

"No, don't do it, we are entangled in vines."

A somewhat sharp and panicked voice came from the dense forest in the southeast, accompanied by a few inaudible mutterings:

"Your Majesty, the Great Wild Wanderer, how on earth did these damn vines grow so big?"

"Cookie, you need to use more force! You said that your broken sword can cut everything, why can't you cut even a vine?"

"Ouch!!"

Listening to the screams in the jungle.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

With the blessing of Fran's [Group Feathering Technique], the three of them walked quietly and slowly towards the direction of the sound.

Although it might be a trap, they still decided to check it out out of sympathy for being intelligent creatures.

As the distance got closer, Bill, who was walking at the front, gently used his rapier to open up the dense trees blocking his view, and leaned forward to look into the depths of the dense forest.

Suddenly, a snow-white humanoid creature with pointed ears and a little guy less than the size of a palm appeared in front of them.

Look at the two spirits who are still "fighting" despite being restrained by black vines.

After carefully identifying them, Fran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at them and asked curiously in a low voice:

"Are you White Goblin Otto and Little Goblin Cookie?"

"Oh my God, I didn't expect anyone to remember my name now."

Hearing this, the good-looking white goblin waved his oversized backpack to resist the thrust of the wooden sword from the goblin next to him, and took the time to raise his head and look at the three of them with a flattering smile:

“Let me see, oh, it’s a beautiful semi-spirit┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~”

Before the white goblin finished speaking, he suddenly let out a miserable howl.

Suddenly, it turned out that the ignored and angry little goblin on the side saw the right moment, avoided the obstruction of the big backpack, and pierced the white goblin's butt with a sword.

Bill, who was walking at the front, didn't seem to want to witness this smelly sight.

After confirming that there was no danger to the two of them, he retreated under the tree and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

"Um, Fran, do you know them?"

Looking at the white gnome who was cursing and shouting "I'm going to break that little toothpick of yours", Laya turned her head and asked in a low voice.

Fran shook her head:

"I don't know him, but I heard stories about this goblin merchant when I was a kid."

Fran paused and raised her eyes to look at the goblin merchant's handsome but slightly cunning face:

"Legend has it that this goblin merchant with white skin and long ears often haunts the Ibi Forest with his elf companions, looking for the legendary dwarf god of forest and travel - [Baalfan Wild Wanderer] 】The treasure left behind.”

"When he met customers who suited his tastes, he would sell his inventions to them."

Hearing this, Laya suddenly became interested and asked excitedly:

"Wow, isn't he at least over a hundred years old? Can the goblins also have such a long life?"

Just when Fran was about to speak.

The white goblin Otto, who was fighting with the goblin, suddenly took the time to raise his head, looked at Laya and said dissatisfiedly:

"Little human girl, please don't confuse me with those dirty tawny-skinned idiots wearing crotchless pants. That is the greatest insult to the great Otto!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Laya, who was caught whispering behind her back, scratched her head and said with an embarrassed smile.

Fran on the side hesitated for a moment, then whispered into Raya's ear using the sound transmission technique:

"But it is said that he is a prisoner who escaped from the country to the west of the Endless Sea - [Camelo Federation]."

"But no one can prove whether this is true or not."
