Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Cass seemed to have known that Caruso was leaving, so he was not surprised at all. He only complained for a while, then took out a yellowed map from the cabinet at home.

After taking out the map, he blew at the dust on it, and then spread it on the wooden table.

After seeing the map to Holy Orchid City, Caruso was too lazy to argue with this old man, he immediately licked his lips and said, “Grandpa Cass, there are so many places along the way, and I don’t have anything to protect myself. Do you have any… Ahem, for example, some kind of divine artifact or some kind of potion that can make you stronger?”

“Hey, hey, hey? If I had a divine artifact, why would I stay in this lousy place? Your Grandpa Cass, besides a mage robe issued by the Guild of Magic that is valuable, I don’t have anything else, not to mention that you can’t wear my clothes!”

When Cass heard that this disloyal Caruso not only wanted to leave but also demanded a divine weapon, he immediately stomped his feet and cursed.

“If you don’t have it, then so be it. Why are you so angry?”

Seeing that Cass was furious, Caruso immediately became a chatterbox.

Soon, Cass heard Caruso’s chattering and immediately prepared to put away the map. He said angrily, “What did you say!”

Seeing that the map was about to be confiscated, Caruso immediately said, “No, no. I mean, Master Cass, you are so bright, like a flame in the darkness, shining on the village.”

After saying that, he took the map in his hand in the blink of an eye and threw it out of the room.

“Grandpa Cass, when I am strong, I will definitely come back to see you!”

Caruso, who had run out, shouted at Cass who was in the room.

After shouting, he disappeared without a trace.

“This kid.” After watching Caruso disappear from his sight, Cass couldn’t help but shake his head and scold him with a smile.

But in the next second, suddenly, Cass found something was wrong.

He touched his waist nervously. When he found nothing on his waist, he immediately rushed out and cursed in the direction Caruso was running.

“Bastard!”

“That’s my life savings!”

Yes, when Caruso was communicating with Cass, he stole Cass’s money bag.

It was precisely because of this that he ran so fast.

When Cass saw that his money was probably not going to be returned, he could only add on sadly.

“You brat, save your money for me!”

After saying that, he stood in the wind in a mess.

Because of his voice, the surrounding villagers gathered over one by one, not knowing what had happened.

After they gathered over, a little boy with a runny nose looked at Cass in a daze and said, “Grandpa Cass, why are you crying?”

“There’s dust in my eye, what about it?” Hearing the little fatty’s words, Cass shouted angrily and turned around to go home.

The fat little boy was so frightened by Cass’s sudden fierce attack that his whole body trembled and tears fell down uncontrollably.

The sound of crying immediately sounded in the village.

“What’s wrong with Sir Cass?”

“Haa, isn’t he just jealous of our young hero, Mage Caruso?”

“Yes. Yes, I saw something wrong yesterday. Master Cass might be jealous.”

“Didn’t I tell you? Sir Caruso is a mage even more powerful than Sir Cass.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I really hope that Sir Caruso can finish learning magic and return as soon as possible, become a powerful mage, and then protect our village.”

“Hey, hey, hey! What are you thinking? Sir Caruso is going to become a noble high-level mage in the future. How could he come to our village?”

As Cass shouted angrily, the villagers began to point and point.

And these voices fell into Cass’s ears almost word for word.

Hearing the villagers talk about him like this, he was about to go crazy with anger.

Not only did the other party steal his money but he also fell into the label of being jealous of a genius?

What the f*ck. Is there any justice?

“Only seven gold coins. He’s really poor!”

The forest rumbled. Caruso counted the money he stole from Cass and complained helplessly.

As a modern man, he deeply understood a principle.

That is, if you have money, you can travel all over the world. If you don’t have money, you can’t go.

It was the same no matter how different the world was.

For this reason, he made this decision at the first moment.

But what he didn’t expect was that Village Chief Cass was really poor!

In this world, one gold coin was equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin was equivalent to one hundred copper coins.

One gold coin was enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year. Six gold coins for an ordinary family might be considered not bad.

But who was Cass?

An honorable mage!

A mage who was revered, but his entire body had only six gold coins. How could this not make Caruso complain?

What he did not know was that the main reason Cass was so poor was that before he received the money from the Guild of Magic every month, most of it was used to buy some magic tools to help the children of poor families to awaken their spirits.

Cass was already over fifty years old and he had long lost any desire for money.

Thus, helping others was a good thing.

Hiss hiss… Hiss Hiss…

While Caruso was counting the money, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the bushes.

The sound coming from the forest made him raise his guard.

One had to know that this was not the modern peaceful world.

Danger was everywhere.

He was only a two-star apprentice mage. Although he was unrivaled in talent, his strength was still very weak.

If he was not careful, he would not even know how to die.

“Hmm? Silver fur?”

A few seconds later, he stopped and looked in the direction of the noise. Caruso soon saw something strange in the forest.

He saw a bunch of eye-catching silver fur exposed in the grass.

“Fireball!”

Without any nonsense, Caruso seized the initiative and began to attack.

Regardless of whether it was a beast or not, life or death was nothing. If they attacked him, he would be finished!

In the blink of an eye, the flame successfully condensed in front of Caruso.

After condensing the support, it rushed into the bushes with a red stream of light.

After the fireball landed in the bushes, it instantly exploded like a bomb.

Bang!

The sound was accompanied by sparks in all directions. Instantly, the bushes were set ablaze.

“Awoo!”

“Awoo!”

“Awoo!”

If he didn’t fight, he wouldn’t know what was going to happen.

After Caruso cast the fireball, the plants in the bushes were instantly burned away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The vegetation that was burned also lost its function as a shield. In the forest not far away, dozens of silverback wolves gathered together and stared at Caruso. They bared their fangs and drooled as they stared at Caruso greedily.

The few silverback wolves at the front that were burned by the flames lay on the ground, rolling and howling.

“F*ck!”

Seeing so many silverback wolves, Caruso was completely stunned.

He didn’t expect that the other side had so many.
