Chapter 91: The Failed Teleportation

  "The Staff of the Gods" coordinates are indeed... Not useful at all! Damn teleportation magic, I curse it ten thousand times now. No matter how much I calculated, I didn't expect that after so many years have passed, many places would change a lot, and this teleportation to near Larsson would give me such a headache.

  After leaving the nameless small town where I was hiding, in a place with no one around, I impatiently took out the "Staff of the Gods", inserted my senses into the staff and found a transmission point near Larson, proudly reciting the incantation, thinking that if I could transmit to near Larson it would save me a lot of trouble.

  Everything went smoothly, the space folded up in an instant, I felt that it was no different from short-distance transmission, only the distance was far and near. I took a light step forward, my whole body was pulled and stretched, my eyes were dizzy, and I was transmitted.

  As the surrounding scenery gradually cleared, I found myself transported to a room. The room was very strange, my first feeling was that water elements were extremely abundant. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be full of steam. I held the "Staff of the Gods" and released an "Illumination Spell" into the house, instantly filling the dimly lit room with light. The steam was also dispersed by a small wind magic spell I casually used.

  Then, I found that the two spells I had been using were the most foolish ones in my life. After the steam dispersed, I saw a very large bathtub placed in the middle of the bright room, and a stark naked fat woman sat in the bathtub, holding a ladle to pour water on herself. When she saw me, the ladle that was raised in the air did not fall down again, and her two small eyes stared at me with wide open eyes.

  For about a minute, neither of us moved, both stunned by the scene before our eyes, and we had both forgotten to speak. It was I who first came back to my senses, saying: "I...I'm sorry, I can explain..."

  When she heard my words, the woman let out a loud, ear-piercing shriek. The penetrating power of her voice was comparable to that of an intermediate-level magician casting the "Sonic Boom" spell. The sharp, deafening sound shook down the old dust on the beams above us, and even the thick glass window seemed to be on the verge of shattering. The shrillness of her cry was like that of a violated girl suddenly coming to her senses, with emotions of grievance, indignation, and astonishment fully revealed in her voice. Almost half the people on the street were probably drawn over by the sound.

  I soon heard the commotion of life outside, and first to rush in was her husband - a sturdy man with a thick beard, holding a huge iron hammer. He burst through the door, and the thick wooden door shattered like tofu under his hands. The splintered wood flew everywhere, like sharp arrows, and two pieces almost nailed me to the ground. The man rushed into the room, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, shouting: "Wife, wife, what's going on?"

  That fat woman saw her husband, let out a "wow" and burst into tears. One hand covered the large objects on her chest, while the other pointed in my direction, shouting: "Husband, this person suddenly rushed in and saw me naked..."

  "I hastily explained: 'Sorry, sorry, this is completely an accident, I didn't expect it to be like this, absolutely not intentionally offending your wife.'"

  That big fellow didn't say a word, raised his massive hammer and swung it at me. The hammer came crashing down with a whooshing sound, its power sending shivers down my spine. I had no choice but to use another short-range teleportation spell to send myself outside the house. Using two space magic spells in quick succession almost drained all the magical energy from my body. As soon as I arrived outside, I didn't even have time to catch my breath before summoning "Purple Flame".

  Perhaps it was the terrifying appearance of "Purple Flame", or perhaps it was because of my sudden and eerie movement just now, but neither the big man who chased me out of the room nor the neighbors who came after him dared to come forward to bother me. The big man simply stood behind me at a distance, staring at me with his large hammer in hand, while the others only surrounded me from afar, not daring to approach.

  Seeing this, I felt a slight relief in my heart and said to the big man from afar: "Brother, I'm very sorry about today's incident. I'm a magician, and this was entirely due to an experiment gone wrong, disturbing you and your wife. I feel deeply apologetic."

  Next, I pulled out a small bag of gold coins from my bosom and threw it at the big man. Before the gold coins hit his head, he finally came to his senses, hastily stretched out his hand to catch them. He opened the bag, took a look, was shocked, and immediately put the bag back into his bosom. The neighbor behind him also stuck out his head to take a peek at what was inside, but was glared back by him with a fierce gaze.

  I looked at him and said, "This little money is a small compensation for disturbing you and your wife. I hope you don't mind." The big man put on a smile and shook his hands, saying, "No need to mind, no need to mind, Mr. Magician, this is an accident, an accident."

  I thought for a moment and asked: "By the way, which direction did Larsen go? How far is it from here?"

  The big man said with a flattering smile: "Magic Master, from here to the east, about one day's journey, is Larsen's transmission array. I used to deliver food there, but only to the outside of the transmission array."

  I nodded, just about to say something else, when his wife had already put on her clothes and rushed out. She squeezed through the crowd with her plump body, shouting loudly: "Old man, you must catch that little white face, dare to take advantage of me, don't want to live!" When she squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw me riding on "Purple Flame", her voice suddenly stopped. "Purple Flame" timely sprayed a loud snort at her, and the purple flames rolled out towards the crowd with a "whoosh" sound, then quickly retreated back.

  The fat woman was so frightened that she shrank back, tugging at her husband's arm for help. The big man suddenly slapped his wife's chubby face with a loud smack, knocking her to the ground, and roared at her in a menacing tone: "What are you yelling about? How dare you be rude to this magician! Don't you want to live?! This gentleman has already said it was just a misunderstanding. What's there to look at with your fat body?! Besides, he's already given us compensation, but you're not grateful! Get back to your own room and see how I'll deal with you!"

  I smiled wryly and shook my head, saying: "Well... if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Once again, I apologize for today's trouble, sorry."

  The big fellow immediately bowed to me and said: "You're welcome, Magic Master! Nothing happened today, thank you for your generosity! Wish you a smooth journey!"

  I nodded to the big fellow, pulled on the reins, and "Purple Flame" let out a long whinny, lifting its hooves and carrying me galloping in the direction of Larson.
