Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages - Chapter 158

158 A Big Headache

She saluted Ivan. “Success, Excellent-grade Frost Wyvern.”

Ivan also showed a rare smile. “Very good!”

Fang Ping tilted his head and looked through the gaps in the crowd, he could only sigh. She had a good family background, was strong, had good luck, and was pretty. He was really envious.

No one tried again. Ivan stepped onto the carriage and opened the lid. The Flaming Chimera had been waiting for a long time. The eagle and lion heads eagerly reached over and devoured the Dragon meat in the carriage.

…

“Let’s go.”

The carriage moved forward slowly. Ivan flew away in the Demon Flame Chimera, and Fang Ping’s team resumed their journey.

As they continued down the mountain path, sporadic wild beasts appeared from time to time.

Lizards were easier to deal with, but the Chimeras were more of a headache. They didn’t get close but would attack from high ground.

The burning of the Fire Bullet, the freezing of the Ice Arrow, and the random high damage of the Shadow Bullet were very troublesome.

The Vagabond’s bow and arrow dealt limited damage to them. They also had to worry about losing the arrows and could not retrieve them.

“Speed up!”

The snowy mountain path was a tall snow mountain, which was why the avalanche was so powerful.

In front of him, Fang Ping saw a towering mountain. Compared to it, the surrounding mountains were like little brothers.

Even though he was far away, he still could not see the end. He did not know what was on the layers of clouds.

Fang Ping raised his head. As he guarded against the Chimera’s attack, he lamented, “This, could it be the Snowy Mountain that we’re going to take a detour around?”

“Class monitor, I haven’t seen you in a long time. Come, come, come. Try these two freshly roasted lamb skewers!”

“Hahaha, delicious. There’s actually energy. Not bad, not bad.”

“I’ll give you 50 coppers for one.”

“Hehe, Boss, I ordered those two sticks, right? Why did you give them to him? Didn’t you say that one stick cost three copper coins?”

“It’s not yours. Yours will be done tomorrow. Come back tomorrow.”

Ivan pulled out a chair and sat beside him. “Your barbecue skills are getting better and better.”

Aoba smiled. “What’s wrong, Class Monitor? Why are you in the mood to look for me today?”

“This Summer Square is too far away. It’s really inconvenient to come here.”

After Ivan finished speaking, he waved his hand. Someone beside him carried a large wooden box over and placed it aside.

“Look, what’s this? Do you recognize it?”

“What things?”

Aoba stopped what he was doing and wiped his hands with a cloth on his waist. He bent down and opened the box. Inside was a beautiful pig’s leg.

“Powdered pig trotters? No, why would you bring such a thing over?”

Aoba leaned closer and closed his eyes. He sniffed and opened his eyes. His eyes lit up as he looked at Ivan. “I heard that in the Ruishui Valley, an adventure team killed a Split Demon Pig, an Epic-grade creature, and sold it for a high price of 30 gold coins. This? Is it?”

“Hahaha!” Ivan’s belly shook along with his laughter. “Good eyesight. I got this through my connections. The parts that can be used to make alchemy materials have been taken away. This can only be eaten. How about it? A pig’s leg worth one gold coin. Do you want to try it?”

“No matter how expensive it is, it’s only a pig’s leg. But you can provide the spices.”

With a wave of Ivan’s hand, someone carried jars of spices and placed them on the barbecue stall. Aoba also put away the chairs around him and hung up the sign saying that it was closed.

Aoba carried a bucket over and squatted on the ground, washing it with water. Ivan sat at the side, propped his chin on the table and looked at Aoba who was busy.

“I heard that Teacher Moon Bell is looking for you. She wants to introduce you to the Scholar Alliance. How’s it going?”

Aoba did not even raise his head. “I rejected it. It’s not my place to join in the first place. Teacher Fang Ping taught me. He told me not to spread it.”

“Teacher Fang Ping? That’s it? You’re the only one who calls him that. However, it’s been more than half a month since they left. With the Forbidden Spell teacher class squabbling like this, there’s no point in running for class monitor.”

“I don’t know when they’ll be back. I heard that something happened in Fire Dragon City again. The fort’s official road is inexplicably blocked. The Forest of Elves isn’t peaceful either. Recently, things have been happening one after another. Business isn’t good anymore.”

“You know quite a lot. They probably won’t be able to come back. The incident in the Forest of Elves must have something to do with Elf Princess Sif. If we want to send her back, Ivan, as a Legendary-grade powerhouse, will definitely follow. Then Fang Ping’s team will definitely come along.

“However, now that Machete City has sent troops to Snowy Mountain, nothing big should happen when they meet up.”

“I don’t know what those Elves are going to do.” Aoba wiped the water off the pig’s feet and carried it to the barbecue table. Then, he mixed the marinated and smeared sauce.

“Do you need help?”

“No need.”

Ivan was just saying, sitting still in his chair. “But compared to the Elves, that group of Undead is worth paying more attention to.”

“The Undead? What’s wrong with them? I don’t think I’ve heard from them in a long time.”

“No news is the biggest problem. They’ve been at odds with the Elves. Why are they so quiet now? The city defense forces have already discovered a few Vampires who use concealment potions.”

“How many? So many!”

“Yes, and they’re not weak. They’ve all escaped. It’s said that other cities have also discovered them.

“The Concealment Potion is not an ordinary potion. One bottle is the life of hundreds of Elves. Where did they get the potion? What’s their purpose in hiding? No one knows.”

Aoba placed the cut pork leg on the charcoal fire and added a layer of sauce before wiping the sweat off his forehead. “None of them have good intentions.”

“Hahaha! That’s right.”

…

At night, as he slept at the foot of the mountain, Fang Ping looked at the tall figure in front of him and lamented. It was such a high mountain. If he got up, he would probably die, right?

“Fang Ping, what are you doing?”

“Nothing much.” Fang Ping turned around and realized that it was Gran. They did not interact much usually.

Gran walked over. “I’ll keep watch later. I can’t sleep, so I got up and walked.”

“I’m keeping watch now. I can’t sleep. Since you can’t sleep, you can continue guarding for me. I’m going to sleep.”

“Why should I?”

“Shh, keep your voice down. What if you interrupt someone’s cultivation?”

Fang Ping scanned his surroundings. It was quiet. There were sleeping bags on the snowy ground, and only one head was exposed. The fire was almost extinguished, and the dark red charcoal was slowly turning black. Occasionally, there would be an explosive sound.

There was no moon in the sky, and the dim starlight flickered. At the foot of the hill, it was dark.

After a round of confirmation, there was nothing.

“I heard that there’s a cave beside the Snowy Mountain. We don’t have to climb the mountain. We can just go through the mountain.”

“Will we reach the Forest of Elves after passing through?”

“Well…” Gran scratched his head. “I don’t think so. I’m not very good with geography, so I don’t know much, but I’m more familiar with history.”

Fang Ping looked at him, wanting to say, “You can’t be biased like this. There’s a shortcoming that’s holding you back. What’s the use of your other subjects no matter how good you are? It doesn’t seem like you need to go to school for anything. You don’t have to take exams to go to school. Just pay the school fees will do.”
