Alan was surprised that the letter handed over by Raphael had spontaneously combusted without wind, but seeing that Raphael was also stunned, he understood that his consultant probably didn't know what was going on.

"It could be Elder Deresa's prank, don't mind, he always likes to joke with others. ”

Raphael left a sentence and then flashed decisively, and it didn't seem to take the matter seriously.

"Is it really a prank?"

Alan didn't believe it, and the two who had never met before didn't know each other, so even if they loved to joke, they wouldn't be like this with strangers for no reason, right?

However, there was nothing left in the fire but the pile of ashes, and Alan didn't notice anything unusual about himself, so he finally gave up thinking about it.

He now has something more important to do - draw gifts!

Because of the opening of Oliver's Alchemy Hut, Allen's energy mass obtained today is quite abundant. Coupled with the alchemists of the Water Tower, the six-pointed star on his wrist has been lit up by five stars!

It is estimated that after accumulating a few clumps, you will be able to activate the white gift.

However, Eren does not plan to draw white gifts, although white gifts are more advanced than gray ones, but the gap is not very large, and the consumption of white spells is much higher than that of gray.

Rather than white, which can only be drawn once, Allen prefers to draw "inexpensive" gray.

Items aside, spells aren't more advanced and useful, at least for Allen, the white summoning sword is far less useful than the gray arcane sigil, let alone the magic tricks necessary for otaku mages.

Descending the stairs to the study, Alan closed the door tightly, then remembered the last time Oliver had flown in through the window, and closed the window again. Isolated from all external factors, Alan chose to extract.

Because the gray gift items were really useless to him, Alan simply didn't look at it carefully, and directly chose the spell in the gift.

【Detection of toxicity】

【Reading Magic】

【Communication】

【Mage's Hand】

The last spell was to destroy the undead, and Eren didn't choose it, as there were no undead in the Stellar Realm.

He chose one of the more interesting items – the RMS05 mechanical fountain pen

The pen has a dark gray exterior with abstract patterns, and the left half of the tip of the pen is transparent, revealing the delicate silver mechanical gears inside.

It looks very good, but after Alan got his hands on it, he found that this fountain pen was basically a cheat, and those mechanical gears that caused him a lot of "misunderstanding" caused him by unclear consciousness were of no use except for being able to make the nib expand and contract freely!

"But a quill that can get rid of the total dip in ink is not bad. ”

Alan somewhat regretted his choice, fiddled around for a while, and reluctantly convinced himself with this reason.

With the ornate fountain pen still on the table, Alan thought back to the skills he had just acquired.

Detection of toxicity As the name suggests, it can detect the presence of toxins on the surface of food or items, Alan deliberately went downstairs to the kitchen to find a slightly poisonous crimson Amanita phalloides to experiment, only to see a white light spread from his hand to the mushroom between his two fingers, and suddenly flashed gray.

At the same time, a message flashed in Allen's mind: [Amanita poison, mild, can cause vomiting and diarrhea]

"What kind of poison can you detect?" Alan couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't believe that it was just a gray skill, but the effect was so amazing.

If that's the case, then he doesn't need to learn anything about poisons at all, and this skill alone can make him comparable to a poison master!

"I'm afraid it's not such a good thing. Alan was skeptical about the effectiveness of this skill.

I found a lot of brightly colored ingredients from the kitchen, some of whom I knew and some of whom I didn't, but fortunately, many of the ingredients in this world had trace amounts of toxins, otherwise Alan would not have been able to find so many experimental materials for a while.

Trying to detect toxins, many of them can detect what toxins are in the ingredients, but some can only show that they have toxins, but they can't understand what poisons are at all.

Alan thought about it carefully, and finally found that the ingredients that could detect specific toxins were all known to him, poisonous, and knew what the consequences could cause.

In other words, those detected toxins are already known to you, and those that cannot be detected are unfamiliar!

"I'll just say it. Nodding with relief, Alan couldn't help but regret it: "It would be nice if I could really detect the specific effects of unknown toxins." ”

The skills obtained by the gift can be quickly mastered, but the effect is only a general understanding, and the specific effect has to be figured out by himself.

This is also a lesson that Eren has learned as he continues to study his current spells.

For example, the function of magic tricks, in addition to the passive knowledge of transmutation when gifting, dyeing, cleaning, he also discovered the ability to make objects glow, condense water into jelly, and make moving villains out of sand, etc.

Another example is the arcane sigil, the gift of the "manual" only made him understand that this spell can imprint an invisible and visible mark on the item, and he used this spell to release a line of words.

If it weren't for the scarcity of magic, Eren would have been able to write with this spell every day.

Therefore, the heart moves at will, and some spells do not only have superficial functions, but the caster himself does not think of them.

Of course, the spells he mastered always had their own unbreakable limitations, otherwise they wouldn't be the lowest gray spells.

After experimenting to detect toxicity, he experimented with reading magic, teleportation, and mage's hands.

The mage's hand allows him to pick up an object that does not weigh more than a certain amount out of thin air, just like the magic that Eren once used to release and take objects with his mind. However, it can only do some simple movements, and it can't be too detailed like magic.

Communication, like whispering, allows Eren to chat with others at will without being heard by a third party. It's still a lot of fun, but it's not useful if you meet someone who can lip talk.

Finally, there is reading magic, and Alan originally had great expectations for it, thinking that this spell would allow him to say goodbye to reading with his eyes, but after mastering it, he realized that the pronunciation order of reading magic is not reading magic, but reading - magic.

It can only be applied to recording tools such as books and scrolls that have been recorded by unconventional means.

Just like the summoning longsword spell that Eren once copied, he used Professor Raphael's special method to write down the core fluctuations of the spell and finally give it to Oliver, instead of ordinary copying.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to express the wonderful fluctuations of the spell in normal words.

Unlike Oliver, who watched with his eyes and pondered slowly, after mastering the magic of reading, Eren could memorize accurate special information in an instant, as long as it was not written by a person who recorded it.

In other words, mastering the magic of reading, Eren is able to abandon a lot of useless time spent memorizing and correcting special information, and can quickly grasp special information.

In other words, if there is a scroll with a spell in front of Allen, he only needs to look at it to immediately grasp the core of the spell, and the rest only needs to know the spell and practice it repeatedly.

However, this is of little use to Allen.

Compared to native spells, Eren prefers to gift spells. Not only is it exotic, but it's instantaneous.

Although the native spells were generally very powerful, he had no intention of learning them. If you have that time, you might as well figure out how to let more mages know about it, which is much easier than learning spells.
