The Mysterious Black Magician Chapter 41
Advertisement
Yman chose the sword that about 2 feet in length. It was laying beside the silver shortsword.
The name of the sword was Gladius. It has a double edge. It wasn't too short and wasn't long at the same time. It cost 350 GP only. Much cheaper than the silver shortsword. And had an additional attack of +15, much lower compared to the shortsword.
And weirdly enough, he also bought a spear of 2.5 meters long. For a strategic purpose. It was named as Silver Spear, but only the blade at the tip was made of silver. And the long body stick was made from hardwood, which he assumed was a Demon Wood of rank B+. This type of wood was unbending and hard as metal.
|So, even in this world, such wood also exist, huh.| He thought as he took the Silver Spear with him to the counter, together with the Gladius sword and 2 daggers. Each weapon was of Common Rank only.
Even as Yman was in front of the person in the counter, the person seemed to be unbothered and only showed him the total price while lifting his thick arm. Without even taking off the straw hat that covered his face. However, Yman noticed a strap of black garter connected to his ear. He guessed that this guy was wearing a mask — or an eyepatch?
The two daggers cost 250 each, so Yman paid 1,350 GP in total. There were some rare quality weapons in the display also. But they cost 5k from the cheapest. And at the moment his money could not be wasted in such a high-quality item. After all, having a good quality weapon could also put one life at risk. No good owning such an item without some strength to protect it. He doesn't want to gather unnecessary trouble for himself.

After paying the bills, seeing the back of a leaving young costumer. The man's eye was peeking underneath the straw hat. No, it wasn't an eye, but a form or marks of an eye.
"The looming storm that gathering above, will soon fall to devastate the land. New heroes will rise, and many comrades will fall. Soon, the minions of light will be scouring the forces of darkness. Yet only the uninvolved residence will suffer more from this insurgence." The man whispered behind the straw hat with a tinge of mystery. However, Yman and Sistela both did not hear it.
All the equipment that he bought were stored in his Cyber Storage.
Yman and Sistela next went to the tailoring shop to buy a cloak with poison resistance. It was stated in mission details that Evil Rats were a poisonous beast. Although the resistance mostly could only resist 10-15% of the poison effect.
Then he goes to the store to buy some potions with poison resistance. For him, more resistance means much safety. He also bought some food.
Yman and Sistela asked some of the residences about the address of certain individuals who posted the quest in the barracks. Of course, the missions that were posted there were not random quests only. They were posted there by some people or residence who wanted some assistance or wanted to get rid of some problems such as monsters who cause some issues in their daily life chores or works.
The person who posted the mission with the title of Gross Evil Rats was a middle-aged woman whose line of works was collecting some weeds inside the Underground Channel. They traveled 30 minutes using a carriage to locate the person.
After seeing the magician sent by the barracks, the middle-age woman seemed to be skeptical. The person in front of her looks like not a magician at all.

He looks sickly for some reason and doesn't have a well built healthy body. Or the blooming face of a magician. Although this person not ugly, but he wasn't handsome as well. The most magician was of a high standard of beauty. But the person in front of her seemed to be normal. He doesn't look strong as well.
He already saw many magicians, and all of them had an aura that was different from an ordinary human.
"Are you really the magician sent by the barracks to complete the given mission?" Asked the woman that sounded skeptical. While looking at Yman with furrowed brows.
Yman scratches his head and did not choose to answer, instead, he took his ID card and showed it to the middle-aged woman.
Seeing the ID card with the mission listed on it, the middle-age woman could only agree and accept the fact this young person in front of her was no doubt a magician sent from the barracks to complete the quest she posted in there.
"About a week ago, like what I had been always doing, I went to the Underground Channel to collect some weeds. The weeds are no ordinary weeds. They have the ability to heal a person sickness...blah blah blah!" The middle-aged woman explained to them her experience.
She said that she was just collecting these magical weeds that she discovered appearing since last 3 months ago. And these weeds were magically made of ice. No, basically the weeds were coated in ice. And those weeds when boiled with water and let the sick person drunk it. It could heal their sickness. And give the person a relaxing feeling.
They then called the weeds as Iceweeds Cold-Reliever.
After the news of such weeds reached the ears of other people who's a line of works was gathering herbs, they also started collecting the weeds. And so the Iceweeds become popular inside the city.
The price also started changing. Behind the scene, some people started to manipulate the price in the market.
Yman has the gist of what the woman said. After all, humans are born scam no matter what era. Not all but most.
Although the market price becomes messy. And the original collectors earned less day by day. But this income gave them big help for their daily life needs.
However, this past week some Evil Rats started showing up. They attack the people who tried to gather the weeds inside the Underground Channel. Which causes a big hurdle in their line of works.
Yman did not expect such drama for his first quest. Although what written in the quest description was just to kill 5 Evil Rats. Was the test really just as simple as killing 5 beasts? However, it might be simple to others, but not for him.
After 1 hour and 30 minutes of travel, Yman and Sistela reached the entrance. The Underground Channel entrance was located on the westside of the Human City Z7.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
