Everyone Has A Magical Lamp In This World - Chapter 16
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sky had just turned bright in the morning. Lorne prepared some food and put it into the system’s storage space, then set out to leave the outpost.
He was prepared to stay outside for the whole day. Yesterday, he had used half a day to complete twenty-three clean-up missions. Today, his goal was fifty!
“Let’s go!”
Facing the morning sun, Lorne quickly disappeared at the intersection of the outpost. Some of the spirit envoys who had woken up in the morning could not help but shake their heads when they saw Lorne’s figure.
“Young people nowadays are really hardworking. They’re already so strong, but they’re still so hardworking. They’re not afraid of geniuses with good talent, but they’re afraid of geniuses working even harder!”
Although the spirit envoy said that, he still slacked when he should be slacking. After all, they were not made of iron. Running around outside all day was not only physically tiring, but also mentally draining.
Time passed very quickly. Around 10am, Lorne, who had been busy for four hours, finally managed to snatch a relatively dangerous mission.
The rewards for this kind of mission were generous. Previously, other spirit envoys had snatched it first. After all, Lorne could not keep staring at the control pane.
Lorne had already missed three high-grade missions. This was the fourth high-level mission that he had seen this morning. It was classified as a grade-B mission. Fortunately, he had managed to snatch it this time!
“After advancing to level-3, killing those level-1 demons will no longer give any experience point. Moreover, the experience points gained from killing level-2 demons have also been reduced to 50 points. It seems that the bonus from killing those above my level has doubled my experience.”
Even so, Lorne would still accept grade-C missions if he could not receive a grade-B mission. After all, even though the experience point was gone, there were still contribution points awarded by the Federation.
Although 10 contribution points was not a lot, it was still a considerable income. Since he had nothing else to do, Lorne naturally would not give up such an income.
Ten minutes later, Lorne stopped his motorcycle in front of an abandoned village.
He was riding a bike mainly for traveling in the wild. Most of the spirit envoys chose motorcycles. Many roads were narrow and the road conditions were very bad. If he drove a car, some places might not be accessible and it would be more troublesome.
“This is it.”
Lorne looked at the village in front of him. The village had been abandoned for God knew how many years. It had long been deserted. Even a stone tablet at the entrance of the village had cracked and half of it was gone.
The original name of the village could no longer be seen. Only half of the word “demon” was left. Even in broad daylight, it made people feel gloomy.
“This should be the locust tree village mentioned by the mission location, right?”
Lorne glanced at it and did not look at it closely. At this time, two spirit envoys who looked to be in their thirties walked over from the village entrance when they heard the commotion.
“You’re the one who accepted this mission?”
The two of them looked at Lorne with a puzzled expression.
“Are you kidding me?”
A thin woman with an ugly expression said, “Little friend, did you go to the wrong place? This is a grade-B cleaning mission! I think at your age, you just became a spirit envoy not too long ago, right?”
“The day before yesterday,” Lorne said calmly.
The two of them remained silent after hearing that. F*ck! He had just become a spirit envoy the day before yesterday and he dared to accept a dangerous grade-B mission? He was probably asking for death! The two spirit envoys’ expressions turned ugly.
“That demon is in the village?” Lorne asked.
That woman said angrily, “Hey! Do you know how serious this is? Even if you want to die, don’t come here and make trouble for us!”
At this time, her companion seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly pulled the woman.
“Why are you pulling me?” The woman turned her head angrily.
“Um… Are you that little brother Lorne?” Her companion ignored her and asked Lorne instead.
Lorne nodded.
“Is the demon still there?” He asked again.
The other woman quickly nodded and said, “Yes, it’s in the village! We don’t dare to go near it. We’re just waiting for the higher-ups to send people over!”
“Then you guys continue to wait outside. No matter what you hear or see, don’t come in,” Lorne said indifferently. Then, he jumped over the two of them and walked into the village.
At this time, the woman from before finally reacted. She turned around and asked, “He’s… Lorne?” The other woman nodded.
“He can’t be wrong. He’s so young and he still dares to accept a grade-B cleaning mission. There’s no one else but him!”
Gulp! The woman swallowed her saliva.
“Oh no! My tone was so bad just now. Do you think he’ll hold a grudge against me?” The woman hurriedly asked with a worried expression.
Her companion smiled, looked at her and said, “I don’t think so. After all, you don’t have any bad intentions. It’s just a friendly reminder. Moreover, I don’t see him getting angry.”
Hearing this, the woman heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, “That’s good. I can’t afford to offend such a super genius. I heard that Lord Hong thinks highly of him. Do you think he’ll leave our Jiang City soon and go to a bigger city to further his studies?”
“It’s possible. After all, Jiang City is too small for him!”
“Yeah, he advanced after only three days of awakening. I used to think that this kind of thing would only happen in dreams!”
“Yeah, I don’t even dare to think about it. It’s too exaggerated!”
Lorne did not know what the two seniors at the entrance of the village were talking about him. Even if he knew, he would only laugh it off.
At this time, Lorne, who had walked into the village, did not call out the twins. Nita automatically ran out of the space of the magic lamp. Then, she stared at the front with a fierce look.
“Nita, did you sense anything?” Lorne asked.
Although Nita would not answer Lorne’s question, she would use her own actions to express it.
A pitch-black fog filled the air. In the next second, it directly enveloped him.
When the black fog dispersed, Lorne found himself standing in an empty and dangerous land, and the sky had already turned dark.
“It’s the magical realm!”
Lorne immediately understood. It turned out that he had unknowingly stepped into the magical realm of that level-3 demon.
The magical realm was a domain-like skill that only high-level demons would use. People would be affected by many negative effects of the demon.
Ordinary people would not be able to accept it even if they absorbed a little of the aura of the magical realm. No wonder Nita suddenly ran out on her own. It was obvious that she thought that Lorne was in danger, so she came out to protect him.
At this moment, Nita was standing beside Lorne. Strands of holy light rose behind her. Waves of holy aura scattered over, resisting the pressure from the magical realm.
Creak!
At this moment, the ground in front of Lorne suddenly began to shake. With a gust of cold wind, the ground cracked open to reveal its original appearance. The gate was dilapidated and there were gaps everywhere.
Rustle…
The sound of leaves rubbing against the ground could be heard. Then, a low moan sounded. It was the unique language of the demons.
“They’re letting me in.”
Lorne chuckled.
