Lord Chronicle

Chapter 274 Hitches' Diary
6/12

I am a magician.

I would say that to anyone, anytime, without hesitation.

However, no one believed it.

The people in the territory don't believe it, it's just because I often blow up the research room. They don't understand that the birth of a great magician needs to go through countless failures.

It's okay if the lord doesn't believe it, as long as he is willing to be taken advantage of and continue to provide funds for my research.

Mary doesn't believe it, I don't care, this damn girl will only do it against me.How many times have I told her that compared to alchemy, magic is the most powerful, most elegant, and most suitable spell for a genius like me.But what she still said, she will surpass me to become the greatest alchemist in the future.

But now even my apprentice doesn't believe me...

Hmph, it’s really not a big deal, it’s just an entry-level flame and whirlwind double fusion magic, I accidentally made a wrong spell, and almost burned myself to death.

Although all the apprentices did the right thing easily, it was embarrassing that only me, the master, failed, but just a small failure can doubt my qualifications?

"Master, are you really a magician?"

At that time, Boris, my favorite apprentice, looked suspiciously at me, and now I feel a dull pain in my heart.

It's hard being a genius.

6/18

I accidentally blew up the laboratory again today.

Damn, I really hate the word "again".

According to the usual practice, I went to Manson's engineering team, but the dwarf refused to rebuild the laboratory for me. He just excused that the territory was short of funds recently, and Jessica ordered to save as much as possible.

God, these short-sighted guys, don't you know the saying "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in magic"?If a talented magician like me is willing to come to such a small territory, you should do everything you can to support my research, otherwise, in a territory without magicians, no matter how rich you are, it is only second-rate.

But I can't tell with these rock-headed dwarves, I'll go find Jessica.

When I found the beautiful female steward, before I could speak, she threw over a thick stack of territorial expenditure forms.

"This is the latest expenditure of the territory. Do you know how many hours I have to wrestle with these figures every day in order to balance the meager funds?"

She yelled at me like that.

"Recently, the lord is always running away, pushing everything to me."

It's not my business?

"And at this moment, you actually blew up the research institute again!"

I didn't mean to...

"Now I don't have a single gold coin to spare. Let's wait until the caravan returns next time and the territory has a surplus."

In the end, she kicked me out.

Damn, I thought she was smart enough to understand the importance of a magician.Forget it, I'd better go find the guy who took advantage of me.

Although it is not polite to call my sponsors that way, the only one who is willing to support my research unconditionally now is Gary's son.

"What? You mean money?"

When I found the lord, he was sitting by the river, picking his nose and fishing.

"Of course, one of my most critical research is about to succeed, so the research institute must be repaired immediately. I believe it will not be long before I can train the first batch of magicians for you."

I try to sound as solid as I can, although it's a little far from the truth, uh... I mean, far from it, but I'll make it someday, won't I?

Anyway, in the past, as long as he said that he could train magicians for him, the lord would obediently open his money bag.

This time it worked just as well, but the lord put forward a small condition.

"There's a tree on the other side of the river. If you can set it on fire with a fireball, I'll ask Manson to restore your lab."

He pointed to the other side and said.

I checked it visually, it was a towering tree, the other side of the river was about 60 meters away from here, everything seemed easy.

until…

My first fireball missed, the second fell into the middle of the river, and the third fireball finally hit the tree...Damn it, it turned into Freeze! ?
"Look, how do you tell me to believe you?"

The lord pointed to the tree trunk that had been frozen white, and shrugged regretfully.

Woooooo...you...we'll see.

Actually, I really wanted to ask at the time, if I use Meteor Fire Shower, does it count?

6/19

Today, I went to Mary's Alchemy Workshop.

"Daughter, Dad is short of money recently."

"roll."

So I came out again.

6/22

The Institute has been broken down for several days, and no one paid any attention to me. I had no choice but to instruct my apprentices to dig out usable things from the ruins and teach them the profound meaning of magic in the open air.

Thanks to God Denisos, it hasn't rained recently.

It's just that it's very hard to bask in the sun, because as a magician, you must wear that thick and airtight robe at all times.

"Master, let's build a pergola." Boris said to me after the third apprentice was sunburned.

Have to say, what a great idea, why didn't I think of it?
So Boris was going to go to the woods to find some branches and come back (the engineering team ignored me at all recently), but he obviously overlooked one point. As a magician, does the rough work of building a pergola need to be done by yourself?

So I told them, Master, I will use magic to complete this simple project, and by the way, let these brats see the greatness of magic.

After hearing what I said, they all ran to the side with pale faces.

Hmph, I'm very satisfied, this is the awe that ordinary people should have when facing a magician.

I cast an earth magic.

It's a pity that the soil didn't bulge up as expected, and sunk inward to form a cave, but buried half of my body.

Boris It took them two hours to dig me out.

I cast another plant spell.

It is also a pity that there are no lush bushes growing on the ground, and it is automatically built into a gazebo. The thorns that came out of nowhere entangled me.

Boris It took them three hours to get me out.

The last magic robe is also gone. Before the lord appropriates the funds, I can only borrow a night clothes from Chip, the only kind man in this town, as before. Fortunately, they are black like the magic robes. of.

Before I was about to cast the spell for the third time, all the apprentices ran away.

"Master, we will definitely work hard to build the shed."

Boris, who got into the woods, called out to me.

What's the problem?
6/30

I don't think it can go on like this.

Although the apprentices finally built a pergola, such a noble research was carried out under such simple conditions. If the great magic god knew, he would cry, right?

On top of that, it's been so hot lately that wearing tights gets soaked in no time, and I feel like a buffalo in a pond.

Since the lord does not allocate funds, I will find a way to raise money by myself.

There are many mountains around Lovell, and there are many monsters in the mountains. The monsters have magic cores in their bodies, and the magic cores are very valuable.With my ability, hunting down a few monsters is simply too easy.

When I told my apprentices this wonderful idea, they ran faster than rabbits.

I understand that it is really dangerous for such a young child to go into the mountains to hunt monsters.But with a strong and reliable master like me around, what else is there to worry about?

In the end, only Boris agreed to go with me. He really deserves to be my most beloved apprentice.

"I'm actually very scared, but if you let Master enter the mountain alone, maybe we will never be able to find your bones again. So I think I can at least come back and report where you died."

He said to me seriously.

Turns out Boris wasn't that cute either.

7/3

No, I'm lost and it's been 3 days.

When I first entered the mountain, I thought I could go back soon, so I didn't bring anything except lunch that day. Now it seems that it was a wrong decision.

But as luck would have it, I brought Boris.My apprentice turned out to be the son of the Orion, and it was up to him to find food for the past three days, so we didn't starve to death in the mountains.

To my surprise, Boris' magic can already deal with low-level monsters. This afternoon, he successfully killed a single horned wolf. Judging from his age and the time he spent learning magic, this kid may be second only to Maybe my magical genius.

It seems that besides getting lost, there are still things that surprise me when I enter the mountain this time.

I'm writing this diary by the campfire now (By the way, we didn't bring any tools to start the fire, and the fire was lit by Boris with fireball skills. Although I also planned to try my hand, Boris firmly stopped me and said As long as he is there, there is no need for my master to use any magic, what a filial disciple).

If anyone sees this diary in the future, please treat it as my relic and give it to Mary... Bah bah bah, crossing it out doesn't count, I will never die before I become the greatest magician.

Stop writing, Boris is telling me to drink broth.

7/5

Thanks to the gods of magic, the garrison finally found us.

Let’s start from last night. Didn’t Boris kill a single horned wolf a few days ago? It seems that the nearby wolves are its relatives, so when we camped last night, a large pack of horned wolves came revenge.

Although Boris already had good magic power, he was still too young after all. Seeing dozens of howling horned wolves, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and it was difficult for him to even speak, let alone cast spells.

So, finally it's my master's turn to make a move!

At that time, I was calm in the face of danger, and after careful consideration, I planned to use the magic of "Hellfire Circle".It's about me as the center, releasing a scorching fire circle around me, which can kill all enemies without hurting myself, which is really perfect.

But when I was chanting the mantra, Boris suddenly screamed hoarsely: "Master, don't!"

What a kind child, he still wanted to protect me when it was so dangerous, and deal with these horned wolves for me.

Don't worry, Boris, Master will never let you have trouble, and I will teach you all my magical skills in the future.

Although there were so many thoughts in my mind at the time, it didn't affect my casting speed at all.I have always been proud of being able to multitask while meditating, and I have never been thinking about other things at the same time when using magic. Maybe this is why I can be called a genius.

It seems to be off topic, anyway, I successfully used a high-level magic, even though the circle of hell fire turned into a "Sky Fire Technique" that fell from the sky...

Although there was some deviation from expectations, the sea of ​​fire a few hundred meters away successfully scared the wolves away.Hmph, you're lucky, if you hit here, you'll all be burnt.

It's just that when I thought of Boris, he had already fainted from fright, and a large area of ​​his pants was still wet.

What a poor child, dozens of horned wolves were scared like this, it seems that you are still a long way from training the strong psychological quality of Master and me.

But because of this sky fire technique, the defense team searched for several days into the mountain, and finally found our location.

Seeing the charred forest a few hundred meters away, Boqi of the defense team said happily, "It's a good thing I found you, otherwise I'm really afraid that the monsters in the mountains will become extinct. No, there may not even be a single grass left."

Although this kind of praise is a bit strange, I am very happy that they can finally affirm my strength.see it?A great magician, even if he disappears in the mountains, is so eye-catching.

After going down the mountain, I happily reported Boris' magical talent to the lord, and confidently said that he would grow into a qualified magician in a short time.

The lord just cried and said, "I'll give you the money right now, and I'll ask Manson to build you the best research room. I just beg you not to go into the mountains without authorization again."

I admit that when I said this before, I lied in order to get him to allocate funds.Why did the lord not believe me when I told the truth this time?

Never mind, finally got research funding again.
