Magic professions always faced two major problems:
1。 Not enough Mana.
2. Mana recovery speed was too slow.
Most magic professions' Mana recovery speed was almost zero during battle. They would only have the time to meditate to recover Mana after the battle was over. But after wearing this cloak, even if she did not become a "perpetual motion machine," her endurance would at least increase by three or four times!
This was because Priests were known for their high "spirit" attribute. The effect was that their Mana recovery speed was much faster than other magic professions.
Roddy explained the function of the cloak to Akasha seriously and then helped her put it on. The dark blue cloak inlaid with magic patterns was weaved from the spider silk of the arachne lord and stitched by a High Elf tailor. After putting it on, Akasha immediately looked indescribably noble. The little Priest could not bear to let go of the cloth that flowed with elemental energy.
"How do you feel?"
"Good, very good."
Akasha's lips curled up as she looked left and right. If not for the fact that there were others around, she would probably have already jumped into Roddy's arms and acted like a spoiled child.
Roddy was also happy. Didn't he risk his life to make these people he protected happy? As long as she was happy, everything was fine.
"Ding!"
A soft sound made Roddy turn his head. He saw that the sound came from a purple dagger in Natha's hand. The attributes of this equipment were suitable for Rangers and Thieves, so he said, "It's quite suitable for you, but it might be a year before you can use it. If you like it, take it first."
"I-I got it."
Natha stammered in reply and obediently put it at her waist.
Roddy did not say anything else and continued to look through everything in the treasure room. Apart from the useful equipment on the mission panel, he also found a few oil paintings, notes, and many magic tools with strange effects. Although Solomon was young, he was not just a pedant who studied magic. These by-products of art or his sudden ideas should be works to relieve his depression.
A few minutes later, Sodelor rushed over with his soldiers. Amidst the cheers, the group of old soldiers once again acted like country bumpkins, clicking their tongues in amazement at everything they saw. It was only after Sodelor chased and kicked them a few times that they calmed down and began to move the peerless treasures with shining eyes. These fellows all knew that although their commander was strict with his words, their boss Roddy would always leave the best equipment for them.
"Let's make this clear first. Leave the sword to me."
"I like that saber. Don't fight with me!"
"Commander, you have to make the decision. I saw this shield first!"
Old teams were like this. At first, they were strict and strict, but as time passed, they became more casual with each other. After all, this was the brotherhood that had been accumulated through countless life and death experiences. Under the relaxed tone of the conversation, there was a heavy trust and trust.
"You brats, stop messing around. Move the things quickly and be careful! If it's broken, don't even think about using it! "
Sodelor scolded them jokingly as he ordered them to move the equipment. Knowing that there was nothing else for him to do here, Roddy strode out of the room and thought about how to arrange the way back.
After passing through the dimensional barrier, Roddy took a deep breath. When the dizziness and discomfort disappeared, he was just about to walk out of the Magic Tower when Merlinsera suddenly appeared behind him and said in a low voice, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Seeing her walk away with the book in her hand, Roddy understood. He turned around and said a few words to Sodelor before following her upstairs.
Merlinsera walked in front of him with a graceful figure. Roddy couldn't help but sigh at her figure, which was even more perfect than a statue of a goddess. But even so, Roddy knew that this had nothing to do with him.
After walking up two floors of the spiral staircase, Merlinsera turned and walked into a laboratory with a stone door that hadn't been removed. Then, after Roddy followed her in, she reached out and closed the two-ton stone door with a loud bang.
Is she going to kill me after closing the door?
Roddy raised his eyebrows. Then, he felt that this idea was ridiculous. After all, no matter how strong they were, Merlinsera was still at level 67. Why would she need to pick a place to kill her?
"Why, do you have something to say … Huh?"
He wanted to ask, but halfway through his words, he took a step back in astonishment. Merlinsera had actually reached out and slowly pulled open the front of her robe!
This robe was transformed from Merlinsera's dragon scales. After losing the response of the Dragon Crystal, it had completely lost its attribute bonuses. Now, it was quite damaged due to the battle. After she pulled it open, her fair skin was revealed …
Roddy almost choked on his saliva, but he quickly realized that Merlinsera didn't want to take off her robe. She only revealed the skin around her heart, not her entire chest. Even so, the cleavage still made Roddy's mouth dry.
This wasn't because he had any evil thoughts of pushing her down, but because it was a man's instinctive reaction to a woman's body. However, humans weren't animals after all. When Roddy and Merlinsera's eyes met, there were no more unnecessary thoughts in his mind.
This was because the Shadow Dragon's expression was so serious that it was almost solemn.
"Thank you for giving me the chance to make a choice, human."
Merlinsera wasn't embarrassed by her bare chest. Instead, after taking a deep breath, she said in a calm voice, "Of course … I'm afraid this is the last time I'll call you 'human' …"
After saying that, she raised her finger and gently made a few cuts above her heart. Then, she closed her eyes.
The cuts formed a strange mark, and her fair skin instantly showed signs of turning into scales. Roddy frowned as he watched this, but he didn't say anything. He just waited quietly.
Five seconds later, a purple crystal slowly emerged from the mark. It was as if it was forcefully pushed out of her heart by some kind of force. After Merlinsera's mouth twitched a few times due to the pain, it finally completely left her skin …
Slap.
The crystal fell into Merlinsera's hand. At the same time, the white ring that represented the "Dragon Slayer Mark" in Roddy's eyes trembled slightly, and completely disappeared.
Her overbearing aura quietly disappeared. Her ruddy face became much paler, and the dragon horns on her head gradually shrank until they finally disappeared …
When she opened her eyes again, the purple in her pupils had mostly faded, and her long hair had turned black.
Just like that, Roddy witnessed the process of a Dragons transforming into a human.
Although she didn't show much expression, the shock in his heart was indescribable. It was almost impossible for a Dragons to make such a choice, and the fact that she took out the Dragon Crystal in front of him showed just how determined Merlinsera was.
He understood that Merlinsera had completely regarded him as a "friend" — not just a verbal flattery, but a true partner that she was willing to entrust her life to.
"Phew …"
After losing the Dragon Crystal, Merlinsera took a deep breath. Her slender fingers tightly grasped the crystal that no longer had any elemental fluctuations. Her lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes to meet Roddy's again …
"This does indeed feel much better."
After the Dragon Crystal left her body, there was no longer any aura of Dragons, which meant that the threat of being hunted down by her brethren was completely gone. Therefore, what Merlinsera lost was "power", and what she gained … was the "freedom" that she had been missing for a long time.
Like a prisoner who had just walked out of prison, Merlinsera wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, but after the tension in her heart was released, she couldn't speak at all. The only thing she could do was to hastily wipe away the tears that flowed unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.
Merlinsera had never cried before, and this was the first time she shed tears in her life. It was also the first time an outsider saw the fragile side of her heart. However, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she raised her head and handed the Dragon Crystal that represented her former identity to Roddy.
"Here, it's for you."
In history, the way humans obtained the Dragon Crystal was always accompanied by killing and hatred. However, Roddy didn't expect that he would be the first human to receive a Dragon Crystal from Dragons.
"Thank you for giving me a new lease on life, Roddy."
From now on, Merlinsera would never call him "human" again.
Roddy was still a little dazed at first, but after hearing this, he nodded in realization. He reached out to take the Dragon Crystal that was still warm, and gently caressed it. He said in a low voice, "Then … we're friends now."
"Perhaps you're the only friend I'll ever have in my life."
A smile appeared on Merinsera's face, and there were still some tears lingering on her eyelashes, giving her a breathtakingly beautiful appearance. She had withdrawn her domineering aura, only to reveal the most delicate side of a woman.
However, this attitude only appeared for a short moment. When she gently pulled up her robe again, her confident aura didn't change at all.
"Alright, that's all. Are you ready to leave this place?"
Roddy solemnly put the Dragon Crystal in his pocket, and replied, "Yes, after we move the things here, we'll set off for the Barbarians' territory, and then return to the Kingdom of Karen."
The two of them chatted like old friends, but when they pushed open the stone door, Merlinsera frowned. "Sigh … it's much harder than before."
"I think you need to adapt to your current body condition first. After all, you don't have the strength you used to have, and there are many more things that can threaten you."
Even so, the force of pushing open the two-ton stone door still shocked Roddy. After losing the Dragon Crystal, Merlinsera's level dropped to 40, but her current strength was far greater than that of a Level-40 Berserker. If she could successfully become an Elementalist in the future, her achievements … would definitely be limitless.
"Hmm …"
Hearing Roddy's words, Merlinsera seemed to be thinking about her next plan, but after a few seconds, she sighed and said, "If it was in the past, I definitely wouldn't listen to these words, not even my father. But after losing my power, I really started to consider these things … Sigh, now that I think about it, I've done a lot of reckless things in the past. "
Young people are capricious, and young people are frivolous. Roddy sighed in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, he didn't have the right to be someone else's life coach. He just changed the topic. "Where do you plan to go next? Are you coming with us? "
"I don't know. Like you said, I need to adapt to my current body first."
