Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

“Player is currently a level two, 2-star Apprentice Magician.”

“Ding-dong! Due to player’s level-up, five free attribute points have been obtained.”

With a flash of golden light, the system prompted that Caruso had successfully leveled up and became a 2-star apprentice magician.

“That’s it?”

Perhaps it was his first taste of victory but Caruso felt that it was too unsatisfying. He muttered to the silverback wolf’s corpse that had been completely exterminated.

After muttering to himself, he suddenly realized that there was a shabby box above the body of a silverback wolf.

Seeing this box, as a gaming fan, Caruso naturally knew that this should be the so-called dropped item.

Thinking that there might be something good inside, Caruso went to the body of the silverback wolf without saying a word.

“Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for opening the Bronze Treasure Chest, you have obtained…”

“Ding-dong! Congratulations to the player for picking up [Staff – Fire Elf’s Failed Product].”

[Fire Elf’s Failed Product]

…

After picking it up, a staff appeared in Caruso’s backpack.

The staff was about one meter long. The body of the staff was engraved with mysterious runes. The entire body was red and there was a red crystal on the top.

After seeing the staff and its introduction, Caruso couldn’t help but lick his lips.

He didn’t expect that he would drop a suitable weapon in his first battle. It seemed that he was definitely the European Emperor.

He looked at the staff with satisfaction but suddenly he found that all the people at the village entrance were looking at them as if there were monsters.

“Could there be another wolf pack?”

After seeing the appearance of the people, Caruso immediately turned around and looked behind him.

However, when he realized that there were no other wolves behind him, the villagers suddenly ran in his direction.

After a long while, who-knows-who suddenly grabbed him and threw him into the air.

The people began to join in, catching him and throwing him up.

As they tossed him up, they shouted, “Hero! Hero! Hero!”

With such treatment, Caruso couldn’t remain calm!

If you want to thank me, then thank me. What the hell are you doing throwing me around?

Unfortunately, his voice was too soft, and the villagers were extremely excited, so how could they notice his mood?

Ten minutes later, Caruso slowly landed on the ground, rubbing his waist. No one knew whether he was angry or happy.

“Sir Mage, are you hungry?”

“What? Sir Mage is hungry? I’ll go home and kill the cow and fry it for you!”

“Daniel, quickly get your chess pieces and bring out the best wheat flour in the village. Let’s us cook a sumptuous feast for you!”

“Franklin, bring out the wine in our cellar. We want to treat you to a feast.”

“Hayao. You, kid, quickly bring your men and clean up the market. We want to have a banquet!”

Someone in the crowd asked Caruso if he was hungry.

This question was immediately misunderstood by a slightly reputable person in the village as him not eating.

Immediately, they began to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Caruso did not have time to refuse and was dragged by the villagers to the market. Coincidentally, he did not know if it was because he had consumed too much mental energy or something else, but his stomach was indeed a little hungry.

Therefore, he followed the villagers half-heartedly.

Auphi Village was one of the hundreds of villages under the jurisdiction of Holy Orchid City.

The architectural style here was similar to the Central European villages of the 15th and 16th centuries on Earth.

There were no high-rise buildings around and the houses were all made of wood in the ancient European style.

Similarly, the so-called market was a place similar to a square. There was a well in the middle, two or three houses on both sides, and two long but not too big pavilions that were used for resting or storing buckets.

After arriving here, a few villagers immediately lit a bonfire enthusiastically.

In an instant, the originally dark place became bright.

The fiery red color shone on everyone’s bodies.

“Let us thank this young mage with songs and dances!”

Less than a minute after arriving here, a person suddenly bowed respectfully to Caruso with his right hand placed in front of his chest. Then, he shouted at the villagers who were lucky enough to survive the disaster.

After shouting, the villagers immediately became excited.

Before long, a few people with unknown musical instruments began to play.

A burst of music gradually sounded in the square.

After the sound, the villagers also walked to the well and began to sing and dance.

Soon after the dancing, the singing, and the music began, someone put the slaughtered meat on a plate and carried it in front of Caruso.

Caruso was not shy in the face of the villagers’ enthusiasm. After casually eating something, he joined the crowd and danced with them.

Under the countless bottles of wine, Caruso’s face gradually turned red.

He began to feel a little dizzy.

With the effect of alcohol, he actually taught the modern 21st-century world’s horse-riding dance¹ to everyone.

The villagers who saw the horse-riding dance for the first time, after seeing Caruso perform the martial arts that were strange but had a strong sense of rhythm, began to imitate it.

Soon, the villagers of Auphi Village all learned the horse-riding dance under the guidance of Caruso!

Perhaps it was because of the many years of oppression in real life, so after feeling such enthusiasm from the villagers…

During this night, his entire being seemed to be letting loose. His laughter was incessant, and his alcohol tolerance increased greatly.

…

The next morning, when the sunlight passed through the attic’s glass window and hit Caruso’s face.

He slowly woke up.

After waking up, he felt waves of pain at the back of his head.

After walking out of the house, many of the early villagers began to greet him warmly when they saw him.

“Good morning, Respectable Sir Mage!”

“Good morning, Respectable Sir Mage!”

“Good morning, Respectable Sir Mage!”

Everyone was like a repeater, saying the same words enthusiastically.

Caruso also smiled and nodded at everyone, but did not say anything.

After experiencing so much, he immediately went to the village chief’s home.

After all, he did not know that he had been staying in this novice village. If he wanted to know more, if he wanted to learn more, he had to go to a bigger place.

The village chief was probably the only one who could help him answer his doubts.

“Holy Orchid City is your best choice!”

Ten minutes later, Caruso came to Cass’s home. After arriving at his home, he did not waste any time and directly expressed his thoughts.

After he finished speaking, Cass hesitated for a moment before answering.

This was not the first time he had heard of Holy Orchid City. After hearing about this place a few times, Caruso gradually became expectant. He hurriedly asked, “Holy Orchid City? How do I get there?”

“Humph, you are such a heartless brat!”

“Forget it, forget it. For a genius like you, staying here is also a waste of your life. This is the map to Holy Orchid City. Follow the route planned on the map. You should be able to reach it after walking for two days!”
