Chapter 40: Surprised Ingrid

“Although he is a light magician, this is his first time entering the wilderness of La Calera!”

“If he joins our snow leopard team, we will definitely have to familiarize him with the terrain in this one month’s time.”

“Moreover, he is so young. He might even be an ordinary magician. He might even be an intermediate magician. If he joins our snow leopard team rashly, he will definitely drag down our snow leopard team!”

“Vallentin, shut up!”

Hearing Vallentin’s voice, Ingrid berated him, then, she turned to look at Hughes and said, “We don’t mind grooming new people who have entered the wilderness for the first time. As long as you can stay in our snow leopard team in the end.

“Oh right, looking at how young you are, you should have just graduated from the academy, right?” Ingrid asked curiously.

Such a young mage was very rare in this mage base.

“No, I haven’t graduated yet.” Hughes smiled slightly.

To be more precise, his academic life had not even begun.

“You haven’t graduated yet, and you already came to the wilderness of La Calera!?” In the snow leopard team, a girl wearing glasses said in surprise.

In the wilderness of La Calera, that was a place where one really needed to fight to the death with demonic beasts.

Why would a student who had not graduated from the academy choose to come here and fight to the death?

The same doubts arose in Ingrid’s heart.

However, she knew that Hughes might have his own reasons. Therefore, she did not ask for more reasons. Instead, she smiled and said to Hughes, “You dare to come to the wilderness of La Calera before graduating from the academy. Hughes, you are very powerful!”

After saying that, she asked curiously, “Oh right, which academy are you a student from? Maybe I am your senior.”

“Lach Academy.” Hughes smiled and said calmly.

“Lach… Lach Academy?” Ingrid’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Isn’t Lach Academy one of the top four magic academies in the country!?”

Then, she remembered that Hughes’ element was the light magic element. She calmed herself down. “That’s true. It’s very normal for a person with the light magic talent to be admitted to Lach Academy.”

“Since you haven’t graduated yet, you won’t stay in the wilderness for long, right?”

“Yes, I’ll stay for two months at most,” Hughes replied.

Two months later, the Lach Academy of Magic would begin. He also needed to return to school to systematically study the knowledge of mages.

“Two months?” Ingrid’s eyes lit up when she was about to give up on letting Hughes join her team.

One month was enough time for Hughes to get used to her team. Even if they only had one month left to hunt demon beasts, the number of demon beasts they would hunt within this month would definitely increase greatly!

“How is it? Do you want to consider joining our team?” Ingrid’s beautiful eyes looked at Hughes. “A month is enough time for us to train you. In the remaining month, you can cooperate with our team to hunt demonic beasts.”

The students of Lach Academy of Magic, even if they were just ordinary intermediate magicians, their combat abilities should be extremely impressive!

Therefore, she did not want to give up on Hughes so easily.

“No.” Hughes shook his head. “I have other matters to attend to in the wilderness. Thank you for your kindness, Ingrid.”

The main purpose of his trip was to hatch the purple thunder fire lion. If he joined the team of magicians, it would definitely be a hindrance to the hatching of the purple thunder fire lion.

“Sigh, alright then. But if you change your mind during this period of time, you can contact me at any time. Here is my phone number.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Ingrid’s beautiful eyes. After asking Hughes to remember her phone number, she left the hall of the mage base with the snow leopard team.

“Such a warm-hearted girl.” Looking at the graceful figure leaving, Hughes could not help but sigh.

If it was not for the purple thunder fire lion egg, he might have really joined the snow leopard team and experienced the pleasure of being a mage in a team.

“Forget it, let’s go register as adventure mages first and see what’s going on with that map.”

Shaking his head, Hughes walked to the front desk in the hall of the mage base.

“Hello, may I know how to register as an adventuring mage?”

Hughes said to the staff behind the desk.

It was a delicate girl in uniform. She looked young, probably in her twenties.

“Have you registered as an adventurer mage in other mage bases before?”

The staff member’s voice was very pleasant.

“No, this is my first time in a mage base.”

Hughes shook his head.

“Okay, sir, please follow me.”

The staff member smiled and brought Hughes through the hall to a place where a lot of equipment was placed.

The instruments were about 2.5 meters tall and were completely black in color. They looked very sturdy.

At this moment, many mages were waving their staffs and casting spells, bombarding the instruments.

“Mr. Hughes, cast a spell on the instrument at random and let me collect your iris information to complete the registration.”

The staff member said with a smile.

“Sorry for the trouble.”

Hughes nodded slightly and instantly constructed a hexagram magic circle in his mind. “Chained light arrows!”

Whoosh!

A golden spear suddenly appeared and rushed forward!

“Light Magic!”

“Holy shit, there are light mages in our La Calera mage base Too?”

“Look, it’s that handsome young man who released the Golden Spear.”

“Wow, he’s really handsome, and he looks so young! He shouldn’t be more than twenty-four years old, right?”

…

It must be known that in the entire country, the number of light-type mages was extremely low.

And their La Calera mage base was only one of the many mage bases in the country. Usually, it was very rare to meet a mage who could release light-type spells.

The appearance of Hughes naturally caused waves of discussion among them.

“Mr. Hughes is a light mage?”

The delicate staff member was also slightly surprised.

One had to know that although she had not worked in the mage base for a long time, she had already worked for a year. This was the first time she had met a light mage!

Thinking of this, she could not help but look at Hughes a few more times. Then, she took out a miniature precision instrument.

“Mr. Hughes, I need to collect some information about your iris.”

“Okay.”

Hughes leaned over and aimed his eyes at the instrument.

Buzz.

The miniature precision instrument projected a light blue light and shone on Hughes’s eyes.

“Beep! Collection complete.”
