Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Emily felt that she had had a long, long dream. She dreamed that a beautiful angel had taught her healing magic, as well as some knowledge of medicinal herbs and magic plants.

She still closed her eyes and wanted to sleep a little longer. She fumbled with her hands and grabbed the blanket to cover her head. She wrapped herself tightly into a ball and adjusted herself into a more comfortable position.

“If only I could really learn these spells. Then I could save more people,” she thought to herself.

However, she knew that she could only think about it in her dream. As an ordinary person without magic talent, it would be an extravagant hope to be able to practice magic, however, she felt that the dream was too clear. Those spells that she did not know were deeply imprinted in her mind. She even remembered the resonance with the life energy when she cast the healing spell.

“That feeling is really wonderful.” Emily still remembered that feeling clearly. She began to try to guide the life force in the dream and chant the spell.

The feeling appeared again. However, this time, what she did not know was that the hand that was hidden under the blanket, in reality, had really condensed a healing light ball!

When it touched his own skin, it melted into her body. This cool life force flowed through her body, causing her brain to instantly wake up.

“Isn’t this a dream?!” Emily suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

A middle-aged woman was sitting on the hospital bed next to her, dozing off.

She was startled when she suddenly sat up and smiled happily. “That’s great, Emily, you’re awake. I’ll be able to collect today’s wages in a while.”

Emily recognized that the plump middle-aged woman was the lady boss of the nearby blacksmith shop, but she did not understand what she meant.

“Aunt Julie, what are you saying?”

“Hehe, after you fainted, the mayor sent me to take care of you. The mayor is really close to you. In just one afternoon, I earned 20 copper coins, which is equivalent to a day’s salary for the construction team.

“If you don’t have anything else to do, I’ll leave first. I’ve made a big profit today…”

Aunt Julie twisted her fat body and walked away, leaving Emily, who was still in a daze, sitting on the bed.

She looked at her surroundings, and it took her a while to realize that she was in the newly built medical center in the town.

Previously, the mayor let her touch the fountain in the middle of the statue, and then she felt a large amount of information flooding into her mind. Then, she blacked out.

“Are my dreams real?” Emily looked at her hands in disbelief and began to gather life energy again until she saw the emerald green condensed in her hands.

“The mayor, is he really a god?”

..

After Su Chen came out of the medical center, he followed Maggie to patrol the streets.

After choosing an empty house to be a temporary school, Maggie went back to the city hall. Since Su Chen moved away, Maggie recruited a few smart people to learn how to handle affairs with him, this became Maggie’s staff.

Su Chen went straight to the hunter’s house in the town alone.

It was the old hunter Martin who had taken the powder to cover his smell.

This was the oldest hunter in the town. The other two hunters had learned their skills from him.

The one who opened the door was Martin, the old hunter with some gray hair and a messy beard, Martin saw Su Chen and quickly bowed. “Mayor, why are you here in person? If there’s anything, just let me know and I’ll go to the castle to see you.”

After all, they had dealt with each other before, so Su Chen waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to be so polite.

“Today, I went to see the newly built medical center and took a walk around the town. I happened to walk to your house and wanted to come over to take a look.”

“I didn’t expect the mayor to still be thinking about me. It’s really an honor. Please come in.”

Martin led Su Chen into the house. The old hunter’s house was filled with the fur and horns of all kinds of beasts. They were like medals of merit, showing off his glorious career.

The small house was not big. The light in the house was dim. An oil lamp was lit. An unknown animal oil emitted a faint fragrance.

Martin took out the roasted barley and brewed a cup of barley tea for Su Chen.

He still stood at the side nervously, rubbing his hands back and forth.

“Mayor, if there’s anything I can do, just let me know.”

“Martin, you don’t have to be nervous. Sit down quickly. I’m here today to ask you about hunting knowledge.” Su Chen explained his purpose of coming to Martin.

“There is a group of forest wolves in the gravel ridge on the west side of the town. I want to know how you deal with powerful magical beasts.”

“Mayor, forest wolves are sinister and cunning magical beasts. They are very intelligent. Such prey can only be dealt with using auxiliary tools, such as traps and poisons.

“However, its combat strength is very high, even alone. We usually don’t provoke such creatures unless we are forced to.”

Su Chen had long known about these things. His purpose of coming here was to see if the old hunter had any powerful traps and poisons, so he told him straight,

“Uncle Martin, I plan to eradicate these wolf pups. Do you have any powerful and effective traps or poisons?”

“Lord Mayor, please wait a moment.” Martin stood up and walked into the house. He took out a small wooden box.

“This kind of powerful magical beast can no longer be taken down effectively with the simple tools made by us hunters. But thanks to you, when I was young, I was lucky enough to encounter a heavily injured Tier 3 magic snake with five flowers. At that time, it took a few months to exhaust it to death and obtain some snake venom.”

Martin took out a small box from the small box. After taking a piece of animal skin to cushion it, he carefully opened the box. Inside was an old alchemy bottle.

Martin placed the box in front of Su Chen and threw the animal skin that was used to open the box into the burning fireplace.

“Mayor, this snake venom is very powerful and has a strong hallucinogenic effect.

“Although it has been stored for so many years, the toxicity has weakened very little. If you want to deal with the stronger forest wolves, this should help.

“But a higher-level magical beast’s anti-toxicity will also become stronger, so it won’t die immediately. You have to know this.”

As an old hunter, Martin’s intuition had already vaguely guessed that Su Chen was going to fight the alpha, but this kind of thing was not something he could participate in, therefore, he told Su Chen about the characteristics of the snake venom and the poison resistance of the magical beast..
