Descent of the God of Magic Chapter 37

-Chapter 37, DGM-

-At the doorway of the river valley village inn-

The flamingo mercenaries simultaneously turned towards the voice.1flamingo is their group name

They saw a youngster with raven hair standing at the doorway. Probably around 16-17 years old, with a scrawny build, almost emaciated actually. It looked like a gust of wind could sweep him off his feet. He was draped in a filthy flax robe which was torn and tattered, and he wore a pair of overused, shabby leather boots. The boots were grimy with mud.

“Ha!” The archer Greedin smirked. “Kid, if you want to play house, you should find your siblings instead.”

Unlike Greedin, the redhead swordswoman did not ridicule Link, simply rejecting him outright. “Kid, this is not something you can participate in.”

Only the giant, Hank, remained silent as he watched Link.2author’s typo, guy’s name is Hank not Yak

Link ignored the female swordswoman and the archer, instead staring squarely at the giant Hank. He knew that this massive warrior was the core of the flamingo mercenary team. If he was right, this Hank giant was the trio’s leader.

“What can you do?” Hank felt like this youngster was different from the masses. His expression was too calm, and his eyes too dark. He did not look like your average joe.

“I’m a magician.” Link smiled.

When the words came out, the archer Greedin and the redhead swordswoman, and they begin to examine him. No matter what angle they looked at him from, he did not appear like one. They had never met a magician in such a miserable state before.

Hank also doubted Link's claim, but he did not rashly jump the gun. He inquired, "What magic do you know?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, magicians were mysterious and powerful. However, Hank was not an ordinary people and instead a formidable level 3 warrior. He had also traveled quite extensively, and had more experience. Although he had never studied magic himself, he had seen powerful masters of magic and also awful magicians who drifted from place to place.

Even if Link's claim as a magician was valid, it did not signify that he was powerful. It could be said that the other party only knew a couple of level 0 magic spells.

"Wait a second, I'll go grab my magic wand." In actuality, the wand was in his space pendant. But of course it couldn't be easily revealed. Link headed back the inn's attic.

The archer Greedin clicked his tongue, "Who would've expected him to even have a magic wand. I guess this makes him a little reliable. Lucy, what do you say about taking a bet?"

The redhead grinned. "What bet?"

"About the lad and his magic. I bet he only has a couple of level 0 spells, hehe."

"Get over yourself, who would bet with you? If this lad knew level 1 magic spells, he would've long entered the eastern valley magic academy."

Greedin chortled, "That isn't certain. Haven't you heard of the incident in the north about Glaston city? It is said that magician who rescued the city was pretty young. People say he fired off 'flame burst' spells and managed to get the Blood Hand Demon to spit out blood."

Lucy curled her mouth. "You think geniuses like those can be found everywhere?"

"Alright, stop arguing. This magician isn't simple. Don't jump to conclusions." Hank waved a hand to stop the ridicule of his comrades.

Both of them quietened down. They respected Hank a lot.

At this moment, Link had also walked out of the inn. In his hands was a…something that resembled a wooden stick…a magic wand?

"A magic wand? Isn't that a wooden stick?" Greedin whispered.

Link pretended he didn't here Greedin. He walked to Hank, smiling. "The spell I'm most familiar with is fireball. I believe that can be of use to you."

"A fireball?" Hank was rather disappointed. In the end, it was still a level 0 spell. To him, fireball was a firecracker —- absolutely useless.

That was an expected reaction. Link nodded, explaining. "My fireball is somewhat different. Do you guys know what magic techniques are?"3or magic skills

"Oh." Hank's reply still halfhearted. He had heard of powerful magic techniques, but even with the boost from a magic technique, a level 0 spell was still a level 0 spell, unless you were telling him it could become a level 1 spell.

"Why don't we find some place in the groves to test out my magic?" Link suggested. He was in dire need of money, but he could not fight Witt with just himself. But if he tossed in these three mercenaries into the equation, they could make it.

As for whether these three mercenaries would fall out with him after the mission, Link was not worried at all. Link trusted that his modified fireballs could blow these people up to kingdom come even with the level 3 warrior.
