Chapter 39: Chapter 39

“Mm.” Hughes nodded slightly and then began to carefully examine this map.

The wilderness area outside La Calera had a total area of more than two hundred kilometers.

And this map recorded an area of more than twenty kilometers.

Mountains, plains, how different from what he had found on the internet before.

However, there was a lot of information about demon beasts on it.

Moreover, this wilderness map could be enlarged, allowing him to see more detailed information about the species of demon beasts and their races.

After confirming the authenticity of the map, Hughes turned his head and asked, “Hmm, not bad. How much does this wilderness map of yours cost?”

With such a map, the land that he was looking for would be relatively easier to find.

“It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive. It only costs 300,000 dollars.” Franklin said to Hughes with a smile.

“300,000 dollars? That expensive?” Hughes frowned slightly.

Although with this wilderness map, the chances of survival in the wilderness would be greatly increased.

But the price should not be so expensive. According to his assumption, it should be around 100,000 dollars.

300,000 was more or less a scam.

Moreover, for a person like Franklin to directly sell it, it was a little too suspicious.

Thinking of this, Hughes directly said to Franklin, “I’m sorry, your map is too expensive.”

Things like wilderness maps were definitely not only available to Franklin. Perhaps other mages could sell them at a cheaper price.

To be honest, he did not want to be a sucker.

“Brother, if you think it’s too expensive, we can negotiate the price.” Seeing that Hughes was about to leave, Franklin was a little anxious.

At this moment, a team of four walked over from not far away. The leader of the team let out a delicate shout. “Franklin, you’re scamming these new mages again!”

The captain was a tall girl with a cute face. She held a green staff in her hand and wore a fiery-red mage battle robe.

Her mage battle robe had a slightly tight effect. Under the outline of the battle robe, her fiery figure was perfectly displayed.

“Ingrid, what are you doing here?”

Seeing this woman, a hint of fear flashed across Franklin’s face. Then, he said to Ingrid coldly, “What do you mean I’m tricking new people again? I just sold a wilderness map. Besides, he hasn’t bought it yet.”

After saying that, Franklin turned around and left.

“You didn’t buy it?” Ingrid’s eyes lit up. She turned to look at Hughes and said tactfully, “Hello, I’m the captain of the snow leopard team. My name is Ingrid.”

“Hughes,” Hughes responded with a faint smile on his face.

Looking at Franklin’s guilty expression, there were indeed some clues about the wilderness map that this guy sold.

“Hughes, you’re really smart. You actually didn’t buy Franklin’s wilderness map.” Ingrid couldn’t help but praise Hughes, and then added, “You know, as long as the level in this mage base is registered as the lowest-level adventure mage, then this wilderness map will be given to you directly for free.”

“Directly given?” Hughes’ eyes widened.

“I’m glad I didn’t fall for it and bought his wilderness map. Otherwise, I would have been cheated out of 300,000 dollars!”

“He is too evil!” Hughes couldn’t help but click his tongue.

300,000 dollars. Even a mage would need more than ten days to earn that much money in the wilderness.

If it was a weaker mage, it might even take one to two months.

“If they don’t cheat, how are they going to earn money?”

Ingrid smiled sweetly, then glanced up and down at Hughes. Finally, she focused her gaze on Lorelei’s secret tome that surrounded him. She asked in surprise, “Is this a magic tool?”

Although most of the magic tools used by mages were magic staffs, there were also some people who did not like to use magic staffs. In that case, they would go and custom-make a magic tool. However, using a magic book as a magic tool like Hughes’… this was the first time Ingrid had seen it.

Moreover, looking at the holy and gentle aura that the magic book emitted, she felt that the person in front of her should be a light mage.

Although the shape of the magic tool was different, the mana fluctuations emitted by it could not fool anyone.

“You are also a light mage?” Ingrid asked immediately.

“Yes.” Hughes smiled and nodded at Ingrid.

“It’s really a light elemental mage!”

A strange light flashed in Ingrid’s beautiful eyes, and then she said in an excited tone, “Hughes, are you interested in joining our team? Our snow leopard team just happens to be lacking a support mage who can heal.”

Like most other mage teams, the members of the snow leopard team were all fire mages, water mages, wind mages, and earth mages.

Among them, Ingrid was an offensive mage in the team.

However, the water mages in their team were not very useful.

Therefore, she was preparing to recruit another support mage into her snow leopard team.

She did not expect to meet the light mage, Hughes.

Light mages were the best healing and support mages in the world!

If Hughes could really join her snow leopard team, her snow leopard team’s strength would definitely rise to another level!

Thinking of this, Ingrid looked at Hughes with anticipation.

“Join your team?” Hearing this, Hughes frowned slightly. Just as he was about to refuse, a boy in Ingrid’s team suddenly shouted, “Ingrid, you can’t let him join our team!”
