Chapter 4

Magic crystals are the condensation of the cultivation of magical beasts. However, not all magical beasts can breed magic crystals. The magic crystals produced by level-1 magical beasts are even rarer.

Li Wei did not expect to encounter such good luck on his first try. He quickly put away the magic crystal.

Meanwhile, the three students from the Cassano Academy also arrived at the Magical Beast Forest early in the morning.

At such a young age, they were already beginner-level magicians. The leader called Udir had even reached the peak of a beginner-level magician. There was hope that he could become an intermediate-level magician at the age of eighteen.

Udir had led his two underlings to kill wild beasts in the Magical Beast Forest for the entire morning, but they had not gained anything.

This was a mission given by their teacher. Each of them was tasked to kill one magical beast. After walking for the entire morning, they had worn out their feet and still had not found a single magical beast.

“Boss, let’s go back to the hotel to rest. After walking for half a day, we haven’t even seen a single magical beast,” one of the underlings said with a bitter face.

He did not understand why his teacher wanted him to do such a thing since he was a noble magician.

“Sigh, let’s take a walk. If we still haven’t encountered anything in half an hour, we’ll go back and rest,” Udir also said with a tired face.

This kind of forest activity was really torturous for these pampered magician students. After a while, they still found nothing.

Udir could only helplessly take his two underlings and walk out of the Magical Beast Forest.

Just as they were about to go back, they suddenly heard the sound of a fierce collision not far away. The three of them looked at each other and decided to go find out what happened.

They could not kill a magical beast by themselves, so watching others fight against a magical beast could be considered as learning. However, after that collision, there was no more sound. 

Then, they saw Li Wei, who was cleaning up the corpse of the Blazing Flame Wolf. They also happened to see Li Wei putting the magic crystal into his pocket.

Seeing this scene, the underling could not help but say, “Big Brother, that kid’s luck is really good. He got a magic crystal. Even if it’s just a beginner-level magic crystal, it can be exchanged for thousands of gold coins.”

“That’s right, Big Brother. I didn’t think that this fellow from the Spano Academy would be so lucky. He was able to kill the Blazing Flame Wolf alone, and even got a magic crystal.”

“What do you mean he got a magic crystal? That magic crystal is ours!” A hint of greed flashed through Udir’s eyes.

“Big Brother, what do you mean?”

“What else could it mean? Do it!”

Just as Li Wei was about to pack up the Blazing Flame Wolf’s fur and prepare to take it away, a voice came from beside him.

“Brother, you killed the Blazing Flame Wolf that we were chasing after. You even took the battle treasure with you. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?”

Li Wei raised his head and looked over. He realized that they were the few students from the Cassano Academy.

“This magical beast was killed by me, so the things naturally belong to me. What does it have to do with you?”

Naturally, Li Wei was not willing to compromise. How could he not see that these people were only interested in money after seeing the magic crystal?

“I advise you to hand over the magic crystal or else don’t blame us for not being polite,” Udir’s lackey on the left pointed at Li Wei and said.

“Not being polite?” Li Wei looked at the three of them with a playful expression.

“Looks like you really don’t want to hand over the magic crystal. Then, don’t blame us. Learn to be a sensible person in your next life!”

As Urdir spoke, he began to chant a spell, wanting to use magic to attack Li Wei. The two underlings beside him were also actively chanting the spell, planning to use their numbers to bully Li Wei.

However, they did not expect Li Wei to quickly lower his body to pick up the longsword on the ground. Then, he rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

They also realized that this guy was actually a knight and not a magician. It was all their fault that they were too anxious when they saw the magic crystal and did not see the longsword on the ground.

At this time, the three of them quickly stopped the spell chant, wanting to widen the distance between them and fight with Li Wei.

Would Li Wei not know what they knew? Li Wei held the longsword and charged forward at his fastest speed. How could a few weak magicians be a match for a knight in close combat?

Before they could even take a few steps back, Li Wei had already caught up with them. Li Wei slashed at the three of them with his Blazing Sun sword. A violent explosion sounded.

Li Wei could not help but be confused. There was not even such a big commotion in the battle with the Blazing Flame Wolf just now. What was going on?

For a moment, dust flew everywhere. Li Wei held his sword with both hands and looked in front of him vigilantly. He could feel that these people were not dead.

It was not until the dust had dispersed that Li Wei saw the situation of these people clearly. It turned out that these people had already been knocked unconscious by the aftershock of the explosion.

Li Wei stabbed them one by one. He knew very well that the root of the problem had to be removed. Otherwise, in the future, the one who would be in trouble would be him.

Li Wei looked at the scroll in Udir’s hand and understood what was going on. This scroll could store magic. The production of this kind of scroll usually required the assistance of a strong person. The few of them should be holding a level-2 magic scroll in their hands.

It was likely that the few of them felt that their lives were in danger so they threw out this scroll. However, they did not expect that Li Wei’s battle spirit would come so quickly. The collision of the forces eventually caused an explosion and knocked them out.

Li Wei could not help but think that he was lucky. If they had used the magic scroll to launch a sneak attack at him, he would have lost.

Li Wei understood that they had underestimated him because they thought that he was a magician. Therefore, should he make good use of this to trick them?

Of course, at the same time, his hands were not idle. He was looting their properties. He did not expect these people to have two expensive magic scrolls. They even had hundreds of gold coins on them. This was a windfall.

After tidying up these things, Li Wei’s attention was attracted by a seed on Udir’s body. The seed was transparent like jade. It was obvious that it was a treasure, but Li Wei did not know what it was.

Li Wei decided to find a professional appraiser to take a look at it later. After taking care of the treasures, Li Wei threw their bodies into a river and wiped away the traces of the battle before he left.

He did not know the identities of the three, but he knew that they carried magic scrolls with them. It was obvious that they had a unique background. Their families must not know that they had died. 

At this time, in a luxurious castle in Cassano Province, a middle-aged man was crazily smashing things..
