"what?"

"There's a mine in the town to the east that's a vital source of raw materials for Neverwinter. But it's currently being taken over by werewolves, goblins, and beholders. Is there any way to get rid of them quickly?"

After repeating the question, Serena immediately understood upon hearing the full question.

"Sir, with your strength, you should be able to easily handle this even if you were hiding inside the mine tunnels."

Werewolves, goblins, and beholders are terrifying monsters that are difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but if they were to face a legend, then the roles in this horror movie would have to be reversed.

These creatures hiding in the mine are about to participate in a race to escape. They will face an attack from a legendary figure. Many items in the mine can become hiding places for Mo Jiang, who will emerge from anywhere and take one or more lives.

If this were made into a movie, it should be called "Black Friday" or "Panic Under the Moonlight".

"No need for formalities with me, my name is Mo Jiang." Mo Jiang found a chair and sat down. "What I mean is, if you were to exclude my existence, how would you resolve that?"

This is a kind of test. If Serena passes, then the task of clearing the mine will need to be completed by adding a level 4 mage.

Only if they participate in this event and do not make any common-sense mistakes in their professional knowledge will Mo Jiang team up with the girl to complete the main storyline of "Neverwinter Nights".

Mojiang needs a qualified teammate, at least someone who can be of help.

Serena seemed to realize something and began to answer Mo Jiang's question.

"If we're hiding inside the mine tunnels, we'll need to prepare [Darkvision] to prevent being ambushed. The best approach would probably be to stay inside and use fire from the outside; that might be a good method. What's the environment like inside the mine tunnels?"

"The mine tunnels are numerous and complex, and according to the locals, they are like a maze."

"If we can't bring a guide, we'll have to consider getting a mine map, or marking the mine using [Arcane Marks]."

"So how do you plan to deal with the enemies entrenched inside?"

Serena gave a serious answer: "Recruit or join a team of adventurers who are at least level eight. If the team's coordination is not good enough, then you have to find a way to join a team of level ten professionals. If you can't find any, then just turn around and leave. That's not a situation I can handle right now. Leaving is the best option."

The mage girl knew very well that a level four mage could only be a support. If a mage's level was less than five, they couldn't use the third-circle fireball spell, and their spell slots were pitifully few. Their biggest source of damage was probably the light crossbow in their hands.

With that kind of strength, if she really dared to go down into the mine, she would be dead for sure.

"A very good answer."

Serena's answer was very rational, showing a clear understanding of the situation. Her answer was flawless, and Mo Jiang had to applaud her.

Suddenly, Mo Jiang changed the subject, "Pack your things, we'll head to the town to the east to resolve the mine issue. If you contribute enough, I'll give you three percent of the twenty percent share offered by the mine."

Serena didn't say much and went straight to pack her things.

If she were the only one encountering problems at the mine, then turning around and leaving would be the best option.

But now he has a [legend] by his side, and he is a major combatant whose main role is warrior.

Serena had seen the list of characters for Mo Jiang, and she knew very well that if she had a teammate of Mo Jiang's caliber, she could not only clear the mine, but also try to run into the Dragon's Nest to grab some items before leaving.

Watching Serena's retreating figure as she went upstairs, Mo Jiang turned his gaze to the window, silently pondering how to create some minor crises.

Let's find out whether this fifteen-year-old level four mage is human or a silver dragon.

192. The BOSS has entered the gate. Players, please prepare for the battle royale.

Gold dragons and silver dragons are both lawful good species in Faerûn.

The difference is that the Golden Dragon takes it upon itself to eliminate evil, but some Golden Dragons may become tyrannical figures due to their excessive methods.

Furthermore, the Golden Dragon also has the problem of entrapment, where it will feign weakness to lure out evil before revealing its true form to deliver the judgment.

Silver dragons are known for their dignified elegance and willingness to help others. They often transform into kind old men or fair-skinned, blonde girls. Their scales are like those of silver eagles, and their pupils are as pale as mercury. They build their nests in the clouds and high peaks. They are skilled at controlling the weather and transforming themselves. They form deep friendships with mortals and do not easily wage war unless they are extremely evil.

These two types of metallic dragons are very adept at transforming into humans and blending into human society.

Serena's origins, which had no evidence whatsoever, and her extraordinary status as a level four general-type mage at the age of fifteen, made Mo Jiang somewhat suspicious that beneath the girl's skin lay a silver dragon.

Serena's appearance is very similar to the typical look of a silver dragon in human form.

If the young mage is indeed a golden or silver dragon in disguise, then Mo Jiang must not take her with him when he searches for the floating city.

The floating city is a legacy of the Nesser Empire, and is a treasure of immense value in every respect.

Even though the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon are both giant dragons, Mo Jiang was worried that the floating city would be taken away by someone else.

Those who know magic have a natural advantage over others in gaining control of the floating city.

But this is just a suspicion at the moment, and Mojiang will not do anything practical because of this suspicion.

Even when testing whether the other party is a silver dragon, he will keep the danger within a manageable range.

If the other party really isn't a dragon, then Serena will be his best assistant, the one who helps him gain control of the floating city.

Although Mo Jiang's character card is incomplete, he is certain that he possesses the [First Strike] specialization.

As for common feats like "robust," he had plenty of them. He even suspected that he could fill two pages with ordinary general feats.

Serena didn't have much to pack, and quickly gathered her things and went downstairs.

The two of them set off on horseback, which was naturally the Heavenly Tribulation that was coveted by [Rat Shadow], and another horse brought from Skalitz.

Although Mo Jiang is capable of fast movement, it is clearly insufficient to carry the fragile mage Serena at high speeds.

His speed was already sufficient to break through the air barrier and withstand the force generated by that speed.

As for Serena...

A fragile mage with a constitution attribute of less than 10, taking her on a high-speed teleport is no different from killing someone.

Several hours later, the two arrived at the town east of Neverwinter, but neither of them intended to enter the town. Instead, they headed directly along the main road toward the mine.

As darkness fell, the sun quietly set.

As the mine drew closer, Serena gripped the staff in her arms tightly. It was not the staff her mentor had given her; she had left it in the caravan when she fled to Neverwinter.

Also left behind were her savings from the years, which was a considerable sum of money.

So the staff in Serena's hand is less of a staff and more of a simple wooden stick and magic crystal pieced together. As for its effects...

It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

More than its functionality and sturdiness, the greatest benefit of this staff is the psychological comfort it provides.

As for its protective effect?

When a legendary warrior is by your side, having any thought of attacking this staff made of wood and crystals is pushing the limits of the mage class.

After dismounting, Serena first cast Darkvision on both of them, and then placed the crossbow hanging from her waist onto the horse's backpack.

This thing is useless in the mine tunnels. She has no intention of competing with werewolves in shooting skills, and at Serena's age, carrying too much weight will only hinder her escape.

What spells have you prepared?

Mo Jiang's voice made Serena less nervous. Having a legendary warrior by her side would certainly save her life, but she could also see that this was a test, a test that would allow her to demonstrate her own value.

If it's not done well...

Serena shook her head sharply, banishing the thought of her poor performance from her mind. She needed to concentrate and fully demonstrate what she had learned.

"Detection magic, Light spell, Fog spell, Sleep spell."

"Dark vision, feline elegance, earthly bondage."

After listening, Mo Jiang nodded. "A good choice."

Detection magic is used to prevent ambushes by magical traps in the mines; Light spell is used to provide a light source in the mines; and Fog and Sleep spells are used to avoid being detected by enemies.

Darkvision adapts to the potentially dark environments within the mines, Cat's Grace enhances agility, and Earth Binding is specifically designed to counter the levitation abilities of the Eye Demon.

Serena chose spells that were well-suited to the environment of the mine, and she was clever enough to know that she didn't need to face the enemy directly, so the spells were more about concealing herself and trying not to hold her back.

At the same time, this intelligence prevented her from preparing all the spells for her own use. Dark Vision and Earth Binding were clearly intended to help her during the battle in Mojiang.

They might be a bit lacking in combat power as teammates, but they're not parasites that just absorb experience without contributing anything.

"Hurry up and cast the spells you need to use; we're going down into the mines soon."

After saying that, Mo Jiang waited a while and had Serena cast [Dark Vision] on him before casting [Cat Elegance] on himself.

The young mage's steps became lighter, and the sound of her footsteps on the sand and gravel was greatly reduced.

Mo Jiang walked ahead, but he made no attempt to conceal his steps as he entered the mine.

Inside the mine, creatures with keen hearing, such as werewolves, would surely be able to hear the sound of someone entering.

There was no light source in the mine; they had all been extinguished. It was certain that there would be many enemies lying in ambush in this pitch-black mine tunnel.

But to Mo Jiang's senses, the werewolves' supposedly brilliant ambush was nothing more than a rock 'n' roll concert playing right next to his ears, with absolutely no peace and quiet.

He doesn't even need darkvision; he can locate the werewolf hidden in the dark using only his other senses.

Just then, a gentle breeze appeared in the mine tunnel, and two werewolves silently attacked Mojiang from two different directions.

The sharp claws may seem gentle, but they possess the power to tear a large chunk of flesh from a human body. They are stealthy and silent, making werewolves the ultimate assassins in this environment.

but……

With two soft sounds, Mo Jiang casually struck out with his palm, hitting the two werewolves with a swift and powerful blow.

The two werewolves were thrown back as if hit by a truck, crashing hard into the mine wall. They curled up together, blood gushing from their mouths and noses, and after twitching a few times, their bodies went completely limp.

It seemed he was going to die.

193. Beware of fire attacks in confined areas.

With just one palm strike, Mo Jiang had roughly figured out the werewolf's defensive limits.

These low-level werewolves weren't even strong enough to withstand a single blow from him. While it was possible that higher-level werewolves would be significantly stronger, these werewolves lying in ambush in the mine tunnels...

One slap is enough!

Seeing that Mo Jiang had suddenly killed two of his companions, the remaining werewolves also turned and ran decisively, trying to use the darkness and complex passages to block the enemy.

But their idea is wrong. For Mo Jiang, who has [dark vision], those enemies who try to escape are undoubtedly the best targets.

The Splitting Palm is a common martial art circulating in the martial arts world, a martial art with very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Its advantage is that it can be launched quickly, making it a rare long-range attack for martial artists.

The downside is that the palm strike is in a straight line, making it easy to dodge, and its power weakens with distance.

However, when the Splitting Palm technique was used in a mine tunnel where there was little room to dodge, and when it was used by Mo Jiang, a man with profound internal strength who was rare in the world, it was a different story.

This was already the inescapable fate of these werewolves.

With a few muffled thuds, the werewolves collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. Serena reached out and pressed on the werewolves' bodies a few times, finding that the werewolves' fur was still intact where she touched, but the flesh beneath the fur had turned into a grotesque pile of rotten flesh.

With his skillful control, Mo Jiang easily bypassed the werewolf's fur, which served as its natural armor, and struck its flesh and vital organs directly with his palm.

"Werewolves have a very keen sense of smell; they can detect the stench of blood in the mine."

Serena clearly and quickly stated the current problem. This was not an accusation, but merely an explanation of the situation as a team supporter.

She could already see that Mo Jiang, as a legendary warrior, was undoubtedly terrifying in combat. The five werewolves didn't even have a chance to resist and were easily killed by him.

In the outside world, this would require a team of at least twenty adventurers to be qualified to fight against a werewolf team.

At the same time, Mo Jiang, whose combat power is at its peak, is obviously not very knowledgeable about some academic "common sense".

Serena was prepared for this, after all, mages occupy such a niche in a team.

In the vast majority of the time, mages and priests solve the various problems they encounter during their adventures by drawing on the relevant knowledge in their minds, including history, biology, and geography.

"It's ok."

Mo Jiang replied softly, "It's better to let the enemy come looking for us than to keep going around in circles in the mine."

Mo Jiang underestimated the complexity of the mine tunnels, so much so that he was reluctant to go any deeper. If he went too far and caused a collapse, it would be a troublesome matter for him.

But Serena quickly dismissed his concerns, saying, “The support structure inside the mine is very stable. Unless a high-level mage damages the entire support structure or a legendary mage alters the terrain, the biggest concern is that you might use too much force and cause a collapse.”

Perhaps because of what had been specifically mentioned before, Serena no longer used honorifics when addressing Mojiang.

At the same time, looking at the young mage, Mo Jiang couldn't help but sigh that there was a reason why she could become a level four general-purpose mage at the age of fifteen.

For a young man like him, the peak of his intellectual life is around a month before or after the college entrance examination. At that time, he knows everything from astronomy to geography, from ellipses and hyperbolas to hybrid biospheres. He can speak English, study classical Chinese, solve sequences, talk about Marxist philosophy, trace the origins of Chinese history for five thousand years, and extend to the vast land and sea of ​​China.

Back then in Mojiang, even when people saw a bus outside, they would subconsciously calculate a series of data such as acceleration, power, and braking distance.

Unfortunately, this state lasted until a month after the college entrance examination break, when one-third of the knowledge in my brain was returned to the teacher, and the remaining half went dormant after I entered university.

Serena's approach of inspecting the supporting structure upon entering a location and calculating its load-bearing limits is something he absolutely could not have done at the same age.
