Advance Login: Era of Magic - Chapter 20

“And according to my inquiries, there is a dark magic artifact in the Temple of Light, called the Magic Cup. As long as you obtain the Magic Cup and find the secret inside, you can become a saint-level magus.”

“Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso! I beg you, help me find the Magic Cup, let me obtain power, and take revenge personally!”

After more than ten minutes, Bard spoke each word of the matter.

When he spoke of these things, when his wife was mentioned, his expression would be gentle.

When he mentioned his wife’s illness, his hands trembled slightly, and his tone was extremely choked.

When he spoke of his enemy, he seemed to have gone crazy, wishing that he could skin him alive on the spot and eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Finally, when he mentioned the Magic Cup, it was as if he saw hope.

He was excited, thrilled, and his breathing was rapid. His eyes were still shining.

After listening to Bard’s words.

Although Caruso felt that the plot was very melodramatic, he was still infected by the other party’s emotions.

At this moment, he could not help but think of the problem of the God of Darkness.

The end of darkness was dawn.

Where there was darkness, there would be light. And where there was light, there would be darkness.

That kind of wretched person who harmed others in the dark could stand under the sun and become a hero that everyone respected.

And the victims who worked hard and diligently could only be hated and cursed by the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Caruso’s eyes that looked at him with eagerness became a little sympathetic.

“Mr. Bard, where do you keep the Magic Cup?”

When Bard calmed down a little, Caruso couldn’t help but ask.

Perhaps because he had experienced grief too many times, Bard quickly composed himself and replied, “I don’t know where the Magic Cup is, but I know that the Magic Cup and the Holy Grail are usually placed together.”

After listening to Bard’s words, Caruso could not help but feel distressed.

He did not even know the exact location. This was simply raising the difficulty of a simple mission to hell.

However, when he thought of such a big quest, the rewards would definitely be a lot, so he felt a little relieved.

However, very soon, Caruso’s attention was immediately on Bard. Although he had received the mission, the Temple of Light was an extremely powerful force. If he wanted to go to the Temple of Light, it would be no different from seeking death, this was not a joke.

With his current strength, the risk of death was almost 100%.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to increase the success rate.

“Mr. Bard, I have a small request!”

Bard did not know what Caruso was thinking but he quickly answered, “Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso, what is your request?”

“Ahem, look at me. Not only am I penniless, but I also don’t even know any decent skills. The only skill I’ve learned is the most basic fireball spell. With this strength, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. If I go, I’ll be sending myself to my death. Whether or not I can walk out of this mountain range is a big problem, so… Ahem…”

Yes, the Bard in front of him was a ten-star archmagus of the dark element.

He was much more powerful than the instructors in the elementary magic academies in the cities.

He was a man standing at the top of the pyramid.

If he didn’t come to learn from such a powerful person, who else could he find to learn dark magic from?

“It’s my fault. Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso!”

Bard immediately began to think after hearing Caruso’s words. He suddenly felt that it was indeed the case.

“Uh, Mr. Bard, it’s better for you not to call me the Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso so often. You can just call me Caruso!”

After saying that, Bard hurriedly shook his head, meaning that it was impossible for him to agree.

Regarding this, Caruso said on the spot, “Then you can just call me Young Master Caruso. Not to mention the Child of Darkness, do you really want others to know that I have received the inheritance of the God of Darkness? And then, the righteous people of the world will kill me?”

After saying that, his words immediately had an effect.

Bard hurriedly nodded in agreement. “I was presumptuous. I’m sorry, Young Master Caruso!”

Seeing that Bard had changed his words, Caruso also felt a little more comfortable listening to it.

After all, calling him the Child of Darkness was really unbearable.

Bard changed the topic, he slowly said, “Dark magic itself is an emergency. Once Young Master Caruso leaves this place, it will be very difficult for him to learn dark magic. However, your realm is too low, so I can only teach you some simple elementary dark magic. If your realm improves in the future, I can teach you other things at any time.”

“Sure.” Caruso was well aware of the principle of biting off more than you can chew. At most, his current strength was very low. Even if he really taught him some powerful forbidden magic, he might not be able to learn it, so he immediately agreed.

“That’s good, Young Master Caruso. I’ll teach you dark magic now.” Bard nodded in agreement.

After the exchange, Bard began to officially teach the skill.

If other mages came here, they would have to rely on their own understanding if they wanted to learn dark magic.

But Caruso was an exception.

He was not a person from this world, but a standard player.

Therefore, when Bard finished explaining the characteristics of each skill and used it to teach, hints would appear in Caruso’s mind.

“Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Curse].”

“Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Blind Spell]”

“Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Dark Arrow]”

“Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning dark magic [Dark Contract]”
