Chapter Twenty-Six: Strange Mana

When Sean returned to the hotel outside the city, it was already night.

In the wee hours of the morning, Sean sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

He took out a crystal ball from the leather pouch around his waist, output mana, and chanted a spell, and the crystal ball lit up slightly.

Inside the crystal ball, several sets of Byronic text appeared, each with a number after it.

This crystal ball is the standard configuration of wizards, in addition to communication, you can also use it to sense all aspects of your body, which is very magical.

It is said that this is the result of the alchemy research of white-robed wizards hundreds of years ago, and now it is widely popularized in the wizarding world.

At present, his physical stats are: strength 3.8, agility 3.5, physical strength 3.9, mental power 15.6, and mana 0.3.

After a night of meditation, according to the data of all aspects sensed by the crystal ball, the increase can be said to be minimal.

But Sean was a little puzzled, he always felt that the data sensed by the crystal ball was inaccurate.

The physical data is similar to what he estimated, and the reason why the spiritual power is so high is the result of the nameless magic technique that he has cultivated for nearly ten years, and has accumulated to this day.

But the mana shouldn't be so small, when I was meditating just now, the spiritual space attracted a lot of black and gray energy particles.

Moreover, when he practiced spells in the past few days, he also clearly felt that his mana had increased to a certain extent.

Whether it was the crystal ball sensing data that was inaccurate, or whether it was for other reasons was unknown, also made Sean extremely confused.

The next day, Sean came to the wizard's house again, and because it was still early, he walked around the hall first.

He saw a set of potion equipment for wizards, including glassware such as beakers, crucibles, jars, funnels, flasks, test tubes, etc., which were very complete, and even a set of primitive distillation equipment, which were almost catching up with the chemical laboratory in the previous life.

The owner of this set of potion equipment is a local third-level wizard apprentice in Kato City, who had just arrived at the wizard gathering place and had a whimsical desire to become a pharmacist.

As a result, after tossing for a few years, not only did he not refine a bottle of potion, but also consumed a lot of magic crystals, so this set of equipment was shelved by him and never used it again.

Therefore, the price of this set of equipment is very low, only two magic crystals, and when he bought it back then, it cost him five magic crystals.

After much deliberation, Sean finally bought it, after all, it was really cost-effective, and he was also a mortal pharmacist, so he could always use it in the future.

After putting away the set of potions, he stopped at a table again, picked up a dagger, and looked at it carefully.

This dagger is about 15 centimeters long, with a unique shape, extremely exquisite workmanship, and a very good material at first glance.

In particular, there were several runes engraved on the blade, two of which were identical to the two runes on the cross sword he had captured.

Behind the table sat a middle-aged wizard apprentice in his forties, who smiled and introduced Sean to him when he saw that he was interested in the dagger.

"This is an enchanted weapon, or did I buy it when I first went to the wizard gathering place of the Osavi Empire, and it is engraved with several sets of sharp and demon-breaking spell runes, and when used, as long as the mana is output, it can exert some of the effects of the spell runes. ”

Sean understood that the cross sword he captured should also be an enchanted weapon, and it needed to output mana to exert the effect of the runes.

"How did you sell this dagger?"

"Two Magic Crystals ......"

Sean didn't say a word, took out two magic crystals and bought the enchanted dagger.

He stayed in the wizard's house for a whole day, and he gained almost every moment, and it also made him, a novice, learn a lot about wizards.

He also met several wild wizards and completed several transactions with them.

Sean used the black bottle that sealed the spirit body, as well as more than 300 bottles of various mortal healing potions in his hand, and exchanged some potions and materials for refining wizard potions with several wild wizards, which made him feel like he had picked up cabbage.

If these potion materials are taken to the wizard's gathering place, they are definitely a good thing, but unfortunately here in the Turan Kingdom, because there are no apprentices who can refine wizard potions, no one wants them at all.

And the black bottle that seals the spirit body, Sean is really useless, it is better to change something real, at least the spell can improve his strength now.

Those mortal healing potions were all seized from the gang members, and there were hundreds of bottles of various potions together, and he didn't know what to do with them.

I have to say that in a wizard desert area like the Kingdom of Turan, wizard resources are indeed very scarce.

Most of the wild wizards in the wizard desert area are level four or five wizard qualifications, which also means that the vast majority of people have no hope of becoming official wizards in their lifetime.

As long as the wild wizard breaks through to the second-level wizard apprentice, he will generally leave the Turan Kingdom and go to the wizard gathering place of the Osavi Empire.

However, in the end, very few became official wizards, and even so, the vast majority of them would rather die in a foreign land than return to the kingdom of Turan.

Only a small number of second- and third-level wizard apprentices who have no hope of advancing will choose to return to the kingdom of Turan and accept some young students with wizard qualifications to leave their inheritance to them.

At present, the wild wizards of the Turan Kingdom can be said to be old and young.

Either the third-level wizard apprentice who has no hope of advancing to the next level will return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace, and by the way, accept some students with wizard qualifications.

Either they are first-level wizard apprentices who have just embarked on the path of wizards, learn the basics of wizards from their teachers, and when they are promoted to second-level wizard apprentices, they will also go to wizard gathering places.

Therefore, the wild wizard groups in the desert area get along more harmoniously, and the wizard apprentices rarely fight with each other.

Due to the lack of a systematic wizarding lineage, the academic atmosphere in Cato City is very good, and wild wizards often get together to communicate with each other.

Sean certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity and took every opportunity to ask other wizards for advice.

He also chatted with a few young first-level wizard apprentices to learn about the accumulation of mana after he had just been promoted.

It turned out to be a surprise to Sean.

Generally speaking, a first-level wizard apprentice who has just been promoted has very weak mana.

Especially wild wizards like them, most of the wizard qualifications are only level four or five, and their ability to absorb energy particles is very poor, so the growth of mana is even slower.

What shocked him even more was that he asked a few apprentices who had just been promoted, and found that most of their mana was similar to his.

And the mana required for each level zero spell must be at least 2 or more.

This means that the apprentices who have just been promoted cannot cast zero-level spells at all with the mana they have reserved.

This also puzzled Sean, some time ago, he had to practice a lot of spells every day, and he usually cast seven or eight spells before he felt that his mana was depleted.

If you estimate it according to the mana consumed during spell practice, the mana in his body at present is at least around 16-18.

Even the most genius apprentice with a first-level wizard qualification would not be able to accumulate mana to this terrifying level in just a few days.

To be honest, Sean was a little confused.

Even if this weird thing is good for Sean, he doesn't think it's a good thing.

Now it seems that the mana data sensed by that crystal ball should be correct, at least in the normal range.

So the question is, where did the inexplicable extra mana in his body come from?

And the crystal ball doesn't seem to be able to sense these extra mana, which is too mad.

I don't know why, Sean has a strong intuition in his heart that this extra mana should be related to the black tattoo on his chest.

This tattoo has shown a strange state more than once, and he has long been used to it, since there is nothing he can do, then everything can only be natural.

In the evening, Sean walked into the bookstore again, and Edgar saw him coming, and handed him three books and a translated manuscript.

"It's all translated, take a look......"

Sean took the book and flipped through it, nodding in satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work......"

Edgar hesitated, but said, "The content of these books is good, but there is a part of the book that I didn't translate for you." ”

Sean was stunned when he heard this, not understanding what Edgar meant.

Seeing Sean's puzzled face, Edgar smiled bitterly: "You shouldn't know about the Evil Wizard Organization, the content that I didn't translate is several forbidden spells of the Evil Wizard, fortunately you brought the book to me, if it is seen by the people of the Wizard Organization in the gathering place, then you will be in trouble." ”

"The Evil Sorcerer Order......

Edgar nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It is an evil wizard organization that has only emerged in recent decades, and it is currently wanted by the Mainland Wizard Elders Association. ”

Leaving the Wizard's House, Sean went straight out of the city and returned to the hotel outside the city, this trip to Cato City was very successful, and basically achieved his goal.

The next wizarding exchange in Cato City is three months away, during which time Sean will digest the knowledge in these books as soon as possible, and he will come back to Cato City in three months.

Sean was so worried about his father and sister that he left Cato City the next day and set out on his way home.
