Chapter 15: Level up?
Lathel nodded, he continued asking: "Regarding the issue of leveling up... how can I level up?"
Lathel wanted to use this opportunity to ask Alec questions that would clear his doubts and provide him with more information.
Anyway, Alec agreed to answer Lathel's questions for free, so he needed to take advantage of this opportunity.
"Hm..." Alec frowned and said: "You... really don't know anything?"
Lathel nodded: "That's right. Sigh, my village only has about 200 people, and no one has ever been exposed to magic."
"I also didn't know that I myself possessed the ability to use magic. When I went to another town, I accidentally discovered that I had the Earth Elemental talent."
Alec felt a bit embarrassed. He felt that he wasn't a true hero as he tricked a pitiful person like Lathel into falling prey to the Goblin Shaman.
'Sigh, okay, I'll treat him a little better in the future, and give him a little more resources.'
Alec shook his head, he dismissed the thoughts in his mind, then said: "leveling up is very simple. You just need to use all the energy inside your body, then continue to absorb energy."
"When absorbing energy to replenish your energy pool, you should try to expand the limit of the energy you can store. When your limits are expanded to a certain extent, you can then level up."
"Although it sounds simple, it is extremely difficult in practice. Like me, for example, I've only just reached level 12 right now."
Alec pretended to be surprised: "Heh?! Level 12? Really? Sigh, I'm only level 0. Alec, you really make me jealous of you."
"Hahaha... don't worry, you'll level up quickly. However... sigh, sorry, I didn't want to hide it from you either."
"In fact, with your Rank, the highest level you can reach is level 30."
"What?! Level 30? I... is that my limit?" Lathel looked scared and worried.
"That's right." Alec nodded: "Normally, F-rank mages can only level up to level 20, or at most level 30. That is the upper limit of F- rank."
Lathel asked worriedly: "So... is there any way to reach a higher level? Is it possible that in the history of the world, there has never been an F-rank mage who surpassed level 30?"
Alec shook his head: "In fact, the highest limit for an F-rank mage 400 years ago was 20, but then there was an F-rank mage who broke that limit, and reached level 30."
"Since then, no F rank magician has ever broken that limit."
Lathel nodded and sighed: "Sigh, that's good. I also don't want to be too talented or a hero. I just want to have a normal life."
"I'll become a normal magician, have 10 wives, and we'll adventure around the world together. That is enough."
This was not a lie, Lathel was genuinely telling the truth. This was his dream, a very simple dream.
"Hahaha... 10 wives? Lathel, you are too greedy, however, I also wish to have that many wives. After all, on this continent, the Empire does not limit the number of wives a man can have." 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"There are many nobles or magicians who have hundreds of wives. 10 wives for a magician is normal."
Lathel smiled. He seemed to remember something and asked: "You said... people rarely use this stones as a source of energy storage?"
"That's right." Alec nodded: "it's because the energy inside the Elemental Stone is much stronger and purer than the energy in nature, that's why most magicians choose to use it as an energy source to help them level up when they reach their limit."
"Ah! So that's it..." Lathel seemed to understand what Alec was trying to explain: "What if I don't choose to become a magician, what if I want to become a swordsman or fighter?"
"Hahaha... Lathel, do you really know nothing about the world around you?" Alec suddenly laughed loudly.
"Why? Is that impossible?" Lathel frowned and asked.
"No... that's possible, but it's very difficult to do." Alec smiled and said: "In fact, you should feel lucky that you still have the chance to become a magician."
"Even though your Rank is only F, however, compared to people with talents who can only become swordsmen, fighters or hunters..etc. they are not as noble as magicians."
"Really?" Lathel asked somewhat doubtfully.
"I am not lying to you." "The gap between an ordinary adventurer and a magician is enormous," Alec explained.
"At low levels, especially level 50 and below, that gap is not very noticeable. But the higher the level, the greater the gap."
"Anyway, normal adventurers cannot use magic except for a few races."
"That is also why humans are rarely better at being swordsmen, fighters or hunters than other races."
Lathel frowned, he glanced at Alec and said: "It seems... you are one of the rare people who can both use magic and be a swordsman."
"Sigh, I really admire you."
These were Lathel's true words, Alec was really an omnipotent protagonist, so what could he do but admire him?
"Hahaha... although I possess two types of Talent, things are not as simple as you think." "I need to try twice as hard as the average person," said Alec. However, I am sure that one day, I will become an existence that everyone in this world will look up to."
"I hope you will fulfill your dream." Lathel said smiling.
'Of course you can do it because you are the main character. I don't care, I only care about what I can do in this world.'
'Sigh, it seems the only consolation for me is that I still have the chance to become a magician and not just an ordinary adventurer.'
Lathel and Alec talked for a while and then rested. Anyway, the Goblin cave was destroyed, and the Goblin Shaman was dead, so there wasn't any danger around here.
Ah! Of course, Alec did not know that the Goblin Shaman was dead, he just thought that the Goblin Shaman would not dare to leave the cave.
Besides... for Alec, the Goblin Shaman without the protection of a normal Goblin was nothing to worry about.
...
Lathel lay on the grass, his knees rested on the roots of a tree, as he looked up at the starry sky. free(w)ebnovel
Everything to him was like a dream.
He was brought to a Fantasy world, and he systematically met the main character - Alec, they attacked the Goblin cave, and he killed the Goblin Shaman...
He even tricked Alec into giving him the five-colored elemental stone. Lathel promised himself that he would never do anything like this again.
Too dangerous.
If the system judges that he stole the main character's items, he was afraid...
Lathel lay still, and thought about many things.
Immediately after that, he sat up and began to try to absorb energy from nature.
Lathel closed his eyes, and followed the instructions of the F-Rank 'Magic Energy Absorption Method'.
More than 3 hours later, he felt that the energy inside his body was full and frowned.
'Alec said I need to absorb more to try to expand the limits of my energy reserves.'
Lathel tried to absorb a little more.
At this moment, a stream of smoke entered his body, turning into a drop of water that fell into the energy reserve pool.
"ACK!"
As soon as that drop of water fell into the energy pool, Lathel felt so much pain in his heart that it felt like someone had crushed it.
Terrible pain covered his entire mind. Sweat poured out of his body and soaked his old shirt.
Lathel saw the water in the energy lake inside his body begin to vibrate as if it wanted to overflow outside.
The pain became so terrible that his mind began to blur.
...
Alec was sitting, and thinking about why he was so unlucky?
Why isn't there anything good in that treasure chest?
Alec felt as if he had just lost something extremely important but he didn't know what it was.
"Do you feel like something is wrong?" Master's voice rang out.
"Um... I feel like I just lost something very important, but I don't know what it is. How strange..."
"I think so too. I also thought that there would definitely be something wonderful in that treasure chest, but it seems my intuition was wrong."
Alec frowned and said: "Could it be that... Lathel took the most precious thing and hid it?"
The master immediately objected: "No, I used magic to search his body. He didn't hide anything, he doesn't even have a space bag on him."
Hearing that, Alec felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't understand why he doubted a poor person like Lathel.
"Sigh, okay, there's no need to worry too much anymore. After all, there are still many treasures waiting for us in this world." As Alec had this line of thought he immediately felt more comfortable.
"AAA!!!"
While Alec was about to fall asleep, Lathel's scream rang out.
Alec was startled, and he immediately sat up. Under the dim light of the torch placed on the ground, he saw Lathel holding his heart, and writhing on the ground.
Alec hurried to Lathel's side, he felt confused and muttered: "What happened?"
"Sigh." His master's sigh rang out: "He was too hasty in leveling up, so he tried to expand his energy pool. Now, his body is overloaded, if we don't handle it quickly... he will die."
