nLu Yuan casually threw a gold coin at the bartender.

n“I’m just looking around, it’s none of your business.”

n

n

nAfter receiving Lu Yuan’s gold coin, the bartender’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

nThen, he acted sensibly and did not ask anything more, allowing Lu Yuan to move freely in the tavern.

nDawn Tavern was a two-story building.

nLu Yuan recalled from his memories that the person he was looking for should be upstairs.

n

n

nThere were fewer people upstairs, with only a few scattered people drinking here.

nWith a glance, Lu Yuan found Rogge who was completely drunk in a corner. He did not look presentable at all.

nHe walked up to him and could hear Rogge muttering, “Wine… give me wine…”

nLu Yuan could not help but frown. He was really a drunkard.

n

n

n“Sir Rogge… Sir Rogge, can you hear me…”

nLu Yuan tried to greet him, but it did not seem to work.

nAt this time, he vaguely recalled that from the memories in his previous life that he seemed to need a bottle of good wine to trigger the mission.

nThus, Lu Yuan went downstairs and bought a bottle of the best wine in the tavern which cost him two gold coins!

nHowever, Lu Yuan was rich now, so he didn’t care much about the price.

nAfter getting the wine, Lu Yuan went upstairs and continued to try striking up a conversation: “Sir Rogge, the wine is here.”

n

n

nPop!

nLu Yuan opened the wine cork and immediately, a strong smell of wine with a delicate fragrance wafted out.

nAs a result of his actions, Rogge reached out and snatched the wine from Lu Yuan’s hand.

nGulp, gulp, gulp!

nRogge downed a few mouthfuls straight away, but his moves didn’t seem to be that of a drunkard’s.

n“Good wine! Good wine!”

nAfter taking a few mouthfuls, Rogge also felt satisfied.

nRogge raised his head and shook his head as he looked at Lu Yuan.

n

n

n“Kid, how come I’ve never seen you before? Who are you? How do you know me? Why are you looking for me?”

nLu Yuan had already thought of an excuse.

n“The Village Chief asked me to look for you. He said that your magic attainments are very high and no one in Amber City can rival against you! I want to learn magic from you!”

nThe general gist of it was to praise this NPC.

nSure enough, after Rogge heard his words, he laughed out loud and was very happy.

n“Not bad, not bad! Kid! You have good taste! Many people think that in Amber City, Enriece is the leader in magic attainments. Humph! He’s just my defeated opponent. If he hadn’t used such a sneaky attack during the competition back then, he wouldn’t have been as strong as me!”

nRogge immediately revealed an extremely confident demeanor.

nAfter that, his eyes dimmed.

nAfter that competition, Rogge had suffered a great blow to his esteem. Thus, he had pursued the extremes of magic and developed a forbidden spell.

nUnexpectedly, an accident occurred during the development and he suffered a huge injury. Such an injury had made Rogge stagnant in his magic attainments, causing him to be overwhelmed with sorrow.

nIn the end, he could only drown his grief away with alcohol all day long.

nThen, Rogge fixed his eyes on Lu Yuan.

n“Kid, it’s not impossible for you to learn magic from me, but I need ten portions of the giant frost ape’s blood essence. If you can get them and give them to me, I’ll teach you my trump magic!”

n

n

nRogge has a hidden mission for you: Traces of Frost

nMission Level : Extraordinary

nMission Requirement: Find a way to collect 10 portions of the giant frost ape’s blood essence and pass them to Rogge. Please note, the giant frost apes are very powerful and brutal, so be careful.

nMission Reward: Rogge will teach you his trump spell — Frost Descent, 1000 EXP, 10 gold coins!

nMission Duration : 24 hours.

nMission Failure: Rogge’s favorability -100, Rogge will no longer speak to you.

nLu Yuan did not hesitate to accept it.

nThat’s right, it was the skill Frost Descent, which was a large-scale killing skill.

nIts only drawback was that it couldn’t be upgraded, which was a pity.

nBut to Lu Yuan, this was a divine skill!

n“Kid, hurry on your way. I can’t wait here for that long. I still have things to research on.”

nAs Rogge spoke, he gulped down another mouthful of wine and even burped from it, looking very undignified.

nLu Yuan knew that he was not joking.

nHe nodded and left.

nThis quest was not difficult. He only needed to kill giant frost apes, which would allow him to collect their blood essence.

nThat being said, the giant frost apes themselves were difficult opponents. Lu Yuan remembered that the giant frost apes were elite monsters, making them a little difficult to deal with.

nThe giant frost apes were in an ice cave in the north.

nLu Yuan left Amber City and headed straight for it.

nIn the outskirts of Amber City, the monsters he encountered nearby were not very strong.

nThey were all relatively weak, like dreadwolves. They were only level 10 or so, so they were not a threat to Lu Yuan.

nHence, he ignored them and continued walking north.

nAfter reaching the forest outside the city, he turned left along the path and went straight forward.

nHe could feel that the temperature had dropped a lot. However, such a drop in temperature was nothing compared to the snowstorm that was caused by Hernas.

nLu Yuan knew that this was his destination.

nSystem notification: Currently entering the Map, Frost Cave!

nThis was his destination.

nWhen he entered the cave, he saw that some ice cakes had condensed on the walls of the cave.

nHis surroundings were filled with waves of frost.

nThrough the chill, Lu Yuan could clearly feel the intense frost elements contained within.

nIt was just as the rumors said, the giant apes here were able to control some of the power of the frost elements. No wonder they were so difficult to deal with.

n“Roar~!”

nIn front of Lu Yuan, a giant frost ape appeared. It stood on its two feet as it walked, and had white fur all over its body, its muscles were also very thick!

nGiant Frost Ape(Elite)

nLevel: 16

nHP: 2,000

nSkills: Scratch, Ice Stab, Frost Fury

nDescription: A type of giant ape that lives in the Frost Cave with a brutal nature. It can control the power of the frost elements. If you encounter it, you’d better run quickly. Otherwise, you will become a delicacy!

nLu Yuan could not help but frown. As expected of an elite monster.

nIt had a total HP of 2,000, and it looked very terrifying!

nHowever, Lu Yuan had just updated his equipment, so he was naturally not afraid.

nLu Yuan gritted his teeth and as he went forward, he activated his equipment skill, Meteor Hate!

n-1,000!

nThe fixed amount of damage was dealt, causing the giant frost ape to lose half of its HP!

nFollowing that, a ball of flames appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand!

nSummon Fire!

n-104!

nIt barely dealt more than 100 damage!

nLu Yuan continued to move forward, quickly brandishing the dagger in his hand, and swiftly slashed at the giant frost ape.

n-35!

n-40!

n-41!

n-38!

n…

nA series of damage was dealt, and the frost ape’s HP decreased visibly.

nLu Yuan’s damage per second reached over 350 in just three seconds!

nThe damage he could deal was extremely terrifying!
