Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

Alice took Vance's hand and led him through the streets of Aero. But she did not lead Vance towards a clothing store as he thought she would but to a weapons shop instead. "Why are we here?"

"Because you need a weapon, and so do I. You may not know this, but I am an archer, and I am also an ice mage. I can even combine my two talents to become a magic archer in the future!" Alice spoke proudly. She was very proud of her achievements.

Vance couldn't help but widen his eyes. He never thought this girl who got shy over everything was able to become a magic archer. She had never mentioned her abilities with bows. And to top it all off, she was an ice mage. This meant she was a perfect crowd-control type archer.

Alantina Online had all kinds of classes. Sword mage was just one of them. A magic archer was also a top-tier class. But it had its flaws as well. Unlike sword mage, which could use multiple spells, the magic archer could only use one school of magic, and they had to pick from different elements. Fire, earth, wind, water. Ice was part of the water element but required you to go down a different skill set, and you would lose out on the top-tier water abilities. But water was also more for healers than anything.

Players normally went for damage per second unless they wanted to be full support. But many overlooked a magic archer that used ice. They would normally go fire for raiding as it would give higher damage per second. But a magic archer who used ice could solo very well. They could freeze the area around them and slow their enemies or even stop them in their tracks. As such, for every thousand fire-based magic archers, you would see maybe one ice-based magic archer. This was the trend. But for Vance, this was a good thing. With Alice's ability to do crowd control, they could easily defeat many bosses on their own.

"I guess I will get to see you in action in a few days." Vance smiled and walked into the shop with Alice.

"Are you going to get a dagger?" Alice asked. But Vance shook his head. "No, I plan to become a sword mage."

"I can see that. Your ability to fight monsters is very good. Your reaction speed is also amazing. And this is just with casting magic." Alice slid up to Vance and poked his nose with her finger, and continued: "Now I get to see your heroic form as you wield a sword."

Vance chuckled and kissed her forehead before turning his attention to the swords on display. He had to get something he could actually use. He was currently level 13, which meant he could not use anything too amazing just yet, but an iron sword was a perfect weapon. Vance picked up a basic iron sword and gave it a swing. "Mmm… good, the weight is just right. And only cost five silver."

"Vance, you can get something more expensive, you know!" Alice frowned when she saw the basic iron sword. She wanted Vance to get something that had a bit more power to it.

"This is fine. You should also only get something cheap. I promise I will get you a much better bow in the future that you can not buy anywhere." Vance whispered into Alice's ear. His hot breath tickled it ever so slightly, causing her ears to turn red.

"Fine! You better not be lying." Alice humphed and went to buy a cheap bow and some iron arrows. She couldn't help but feel happy. As a princess, she always had to interact with people in a noble like manner. But around Vance, she could act herself and off the wall any time she liked. He was also very good to her, which made her feel safe and secure around him.

"This going to be it?" The shop owner asked as he saw the two walk up to the counter. "Yes, but can you add a few boxes of one thousand iron arrows?"

"Iron arrows? Sure thing. How many boxes? Two or three?" The shop owner asked. Alice couldn't help but widen her eyes. He had gotten thirty arrows because she did not have any place to put them, but here Vancec was ordering so many at once!

pAn,Da-n0v e1,c Alice tugged on Vance's arm with a look of concern in her eyes. Vance gave a reassuring smile as he said: "It's fine." He then turned to the shop owner and answered: "Two will be good."

With two thousand arrows, he knew they could level up for quite a while. He figured Alice's level was around twenty at most. This many arrows would be decent. And even if they did not use them all, they could still sell them later on, even if it would only be a few copper coins.

"Alright, here you go! That will be twenty silver." The shop owner smiled. He made a decent amount today!

"Thank you…. Also, do you have any traps?" Vance was going to make a trap, but he did not know if he had enough time to do it or not. He had a lot of skills he needed to practice, but at this time, he could not do much.

"Traps, what kind of traps? I do have a few. But I am not sure if they are what you are looking for." The shop owner answered.

"I just need one to lay down in front of a window and door." Vance felt Alice tighten her grip on clothes. He looked down at her, who was looking back at him with a confused yet worried look, and patted her hand.

"This kind of trap…. I do have something that will work, but they are only hunting traps. But they should do the trick. I rarely sell them, so I can give you a deal and do a buy one, get one. What do you think?" The shop owner seemed quite happy that he might be able to get rid of some of those old traps he bought on a whim.

"I will take them. How much?" Vance asked. Having something was better than nothing. It would at least give him time to prepare if someone barged into his room.
