There were numerous legends about Magicians on the continent, but most people had never seen a Magician in their whole life! And because of this, there was a little bit of... awe in the looks that everyone gave Meng Lei!
Whatever Meng Lei was in the past, at the moment, he released magic, he was covered with the halo of mysteriousness and prestige, and nobody dared to look down on him anymore!
“I can only use the Fireball Technique!”
Meng Lei scratched his head. He knew himself the best—he wasn’t a proper Magician yet, not now!
“That’s still very awesome!”
...
The beast tide ended!
The old and the weak walked out of the shelters. They started post-disaster clearing up, treating the wounded, dealing with beast corpses, mending village walls...
Everything was going smoothly and orderly!
For a village that relied on natural resources like Magical Beast Village, the beast tide was definitely a disaster, but it also often meant a great opportunity. After every beast tide, a lot of carcasses would be left behind!
The fresh meat could be consumed, the furs and skins could be made into clothes and armor, while the extra things could be used to exchange for daily items, such as salt, sauces, and ironware!
Also, because there were no deaths during this beast tide, it was pretty much a big harvest. Every household got their share of fresh meat, the villagers were joyful, and their faces were full of happiness!
All this food would last them for a very long while!
Meng Lei also returned to his simple home carrying a big wild boar. In the following days, this big wild boar would be his food!
I’ve got to enjoy myself properly today!
He split firewood, made a fire, and roasted the meat!
After half an hour, oil dropped from the golden roasted meat, releasing an amazing fragrance. Meng Lei swallowed his saliva, and his eyes were full of hunger!
Food shortage had always been a problem for the village. For someone who had no parents, was weak, and completely unable to fight like him, he could only pass his days by getting food rationed by the village!
He wouldn’t die from hunger, but he couldn’t eat till full either!
Today, he was finally having a filling meal!
After a period of torturous waiting, the roasted meat was finally cooked. Meng Lei could no longer contain the hunger in his belly, so he grabbed a light brown boar leg and started nibbling.
“Hmm... Nice!”
When one was hungry, whatever that they ate tasted nice. There were no sauces on this roasted meat, only some rough salt, but Meng Lei ate it like it was a great delicacy!
“Eating alone?”
Captain Hudders had walked over when he wasn’t noticing. He held a jar full of good wine in his hand!
“Captain Hudders, why are you here?”
Meng Lei put down the boar’s leg in his hand. He looked a bit ungraceful with oil all around his mouth.
“Haha, I was wandering around alone, and I arrived at your place... Come, let me try it!”
Captain Hudders handed the wine jar in his hand to Meng Lei, grabbed a piece of roasted meat himself, and started eating. “Eh? It’s good! Your roasted meat is so fragrant...”
“Wine?”
When Meng Lei smelled the fragrance of wine coming from inside the wine jar, his throat moved a little. In a resource-scarce small village like Magical Beast Village, wine was a rare item just like books!
Ordinary people definitely couldn’t get to drink it!
Gurgle...
“Sh*t! So hot!”

The alcohol burned and tasted bitter. Not only was it muddy and unbearable, but it also tasted awful. It couldn’t even match up to erguotou!
Meng Lei didn’t really like it, but he still took a few sips nonetheless. After a month since his transmigration here, he was already close to puking after consuming day after day of cool water and smoked jerky!
Now that there was finally alcohol, how could he not drink it?
“Take it easy, you’d better not finish it!”
Captain Hudders laughed as he derided him. He said, “I had spent 1 gold coin to buy that from a passing trade caravan. That’s the only bottle I have. Once it’s finished, it’s all gone!”
“Got it!”
After a few rounds of drinks and flavorful meat, almost half of the large wild boar had entered Captain Hudders’ and Meng Lei’s stomachs. The two of them leaned against the doorframe and made small talk as they chatted away, turning into Master Ge1.
“Meng Lei, you have a talent for magic. Be sure to seize this opportunity well. This is your chance to change your destiny. You absolutely mustn’t let it slip by you!”
There was a deep and profound look in Hudders’ eyes as he said, “I was in the army in the past, so I’ve been to quite a few places. You can say that I’m the most experienced and knowledgeable person in our village!”
“Yes!”
Meng Lei nodded silently!
“Cultivation techniques are out of reach for most people, so they are unable to learn magic! But at the same time, cultivating magic also requires talent. Without magic talent, even if one had cultivation methods, they can’t become a noble Magician, either!”
Captain Hudders stared right at Meng Lei and added, “You, on the other hand, have actually unknowingly become a Magician before any of us even realized. It’s highly likely that you possess astounding magic talent...”
Captain Hudders couldn’t find the appropriate words to describe this anymore!
Incredible?
Inconceivable?
Astonishing?
However, what he could be sure of was that Meng Lei definitely possessed exceptional magic talent—precious talent that countless people dreamed of and longed for, yet couldn’t have!
Do I have magic talent?
Meng Lei was uncertain and nervous, though!
“Meng Lei! Remember this! Be sure to seize this
