The God of Invoker System

Chapter 4

Hearing Vernon's words, the skinny boy immediately said, "Yes, preparation, Vernon; you know that when we enter the Magic Academy, we need a lot of money to register. Not to mention that according to what my father said, many witches can only reach apprentice level witches because of the lack of money to buy resources that can strengthen our magic level."

"Therefore, now we should go hunting for beasts, and if we're lucky, we might get the core of a beast that can be sold for a lot of money. Look, I brought my father's crossbow to hunt those beasts."

Hearing the skinny boy's words, Vernon stopped walking and said, "You guys are crazy; your father doesn't even dare to hunt beasts. Your father only hunts normal animals. Beasts are different, and some beasts can match witches; if we are unlucky, we might even find a very strong beast. An automatic bow is not enough to fight those beasts."

"Vernon, you're too timid; you have to have the courage to be a great wizard," another boy with muscles said.

Suddenly a voice was heard by Vernon, "Young master, we might as well enter this forest."

Hearing that voice, Vernon knew that it was Naomi's voice. He turned his head slightly to the children around him; they couldn't hear Naomi. Seeing Vernon, who looked cautious, Naomi's voice sounded again, "Young master, I use telepathy, so only you can hear it. Then, if you want to speak to me, you just need to speak silently, and I can hear it."

"Then why do we have to enter the forest?" asked Vernon in his heart.

"It seems that there is an item that can be useful in the forest when making the next summon. Moreover, the item also existed in the previous Open Universe," Naomi said.

Hearing Naomi's words, Vernon was immediately interested, so he immediately looked at the children around, pretended to sigh and said, "You're right; if one wants to be a great witch, then that person needs to have courage, so what the hell I'll follow you guys."

"Then let's go," said the girl who had been panicked when she saw her friends arguing.

After that, the four of them started travelling in the forest. They found no beasts but only saw some animals like rabbits and deer. They continued to enter the forest until the man carrying the crossbow stopped and pointed ahead to the cave, "Look there, my father once said that there is a very powerful beast in this cave. I believe a core must be inside the beast; let's go in."

Vernon and the other three children began to enter the cave. The girl looked a little scared; the cave was a little dark. The muscular boy immediately lit the torch he had prepared earlier.

The cave was quite large. They continued to enter the cave. Suddenly, Vernon heard Naomi's voice, "Young master, there's no mistaking it. There is an item here that is useful for summoning."

Hearing Naomi's words, Vernon nodded slightly and observed the surroundings.

After walking for a while, they saw a huge snake sleeping. The length of the snake alone reached 10 metres. The snake had silver scales that looked like iron.

Upon seeing the snake, the other three children were terrified. Even the boy holding the crossbow, who previously looked confident, now looked very scared.

"I remember now! Today I have to go home quickly because my father said that I have to rest a lot so that when the element match test comes around, I can get the best results," said the boy holding the crossbow and then began to retreat backwards slowly and started to turn around and try to run away.

As the boy was about to run away, he bumped into a small rock. In this very quiet cave, the sound made by the rock was huge. After the sound, the big snake suddenly opened its eyes. The snake slowly began to raise its head. Then, the silver eyes of the snake looked at Vernon and the other three people as if they were looking at their dinner.

"Nooo!" the boy holding the crossbow immediately ran out of the cave in fear.

"Nooo!" The other two children also screamed in fear and started walking out of the cave.

Looking at the three fleeing children, Vernon shook his head and said, "Weren't they so brave earlier? Now, where's your courage."

Vernon then started to turn around again and saw the big snake. Vernon immediately said, "Naomi, can you handle this snake?"

"Take it easy, young master. This snake is, at most, only equivalent to a 5th-level apprentice mage. Perhaps no one in the village can handle it, but I can handle it easily," Naomi said confidently.

Vernon nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, young master," Naomi said.

The big snake saw that Vernon was not running away, so it approached Vernon slowly. After being less than 5 metres away from Vernon, the big snake opened its huge mouth to swallow Vernon in one sitting. Vernon looked at the open snake mouth calmly, confident in Naomi's ability.

"You dare try to eat my master; the price is your life," Naomi's voice suddenly rang out, and before the snake could move, a huge amount of blood poured out of the snake's body. The snake's head and body split apart, and the body and head immediately fell. Naomi was currently standing on the snake's body. Her dagger was still silver in colour and was not affected by the snake's blood.

Naomi immediately put away her dagger, walked up to Vernon, bowed slightly, and said, "Young master, Naomi has killed the snake."

"Yes, good job."

Vernon said again, "But what will we do with the snake's body? Can it be sold?"

"Young master, we'd better not sell this snake's body."

Naomi said afterwards, "You can keep the entire body of this snake in your inventory first. Afterwards, you can use it to make medicine at the academy. After all, there will be alchemists who are very good at making medicine."

"Inventory?" Vernon was surprised by Naomi's words, and then suddenly, a voice sounded in Vernon's mind.

"Sir, you have an inventory ability to store all your items. But inventory can only store dead things and not living things."

Hearing the system's words, Vernon was immediately happy and walked to the snake's body and said, "Keep it in the inventory."

Soon, the large body of the snake disappeared, and an electronic screen appeared in front of Vernon. There were currently two items on the screen: the snake's body and head.

Vernon casually said, "A very useful ability."
