Along the way, Salin had collected 4000 gold coins from several waves of enemies. After giving 2000 to Cang Hong, he still had 2000 left. The dozen or so level-one magic cores were all thanks to Shika, so there was no need to give any to Cang Hong. However, they were only worth a few dozen gold coins, so Salin could use them as consumables.
The body of the Witcher Spider was useless to Salin since he did not know how to make magic puppets.
There was also a metal glove with divine runes on it. Salin could not use it either, but if he met an Alchemist, he should be able to decompose some good materials.
The Ring of the Goddess of Nature. This spatial equipment was the most precious thing Salin had. There was now a box in the ring space, a badge, and an eight-sided Qinyin sword left behind by the Qinyin swordsman. Salin planned to send the swordsman's belongings to the princess of Kushui prefecture. Salin took out the three items that were originally in the ring one by one.
The emerald green gourd was not as big as a palm, and it was as warm as jade in his hand. The gourd was not a piece of equipment, so it did not have an opening. Salin studied it for a while before putting it back into the ring.
The black necklace was made of 24 black crystals strung together. Salin could not tell what kind of crystal it was. However, Salin was sure that it was not obsidian, nor was it cheap steel rock.
However, Salin felt that the last leaf was extraordinary. Although the leaf was already yellow, it still contained a strong life force. Salin knew that his level was too low, and he could not figure out the use of this leaf for now. He could only think about it later. Perhaps it would be mentioned in the books he read.
These three items must have come from Nature Mages. Nature Mages had already disappeared, so to understand the origin of these items, he had to consult the books of the past.
Salin put the necklace on his neck, and the leaf returned to the ring. Only then did he start to study the engravings in the Ancient Myers language.
These 24 runes formed a ring without any broken sentences. Last time, Salin had casually broken it in the middle and read it once, and he had unlocked the secret of the ring space. It could be considered lucky. After reading it again, Salin realized that these 24 runes were actually an ancient incantation. Every six runes formed a paragraph.
According to the description in the book, this was a gift from the Goddess of Nature. Both Mages and Mages could use it. These 24 runes, with different incantations, could form four different nature spells.
What a magical combination. I wonder what the other three spells are used for. However, Salin did not dare to experiment carelessly this time. His knowledge of magic was very rich and solid. He knew that since he could use the first spell and open up the space in the ring, he could definitely use the other three spells as well.
However, if the other three incantations were offensive spells, his Magic String would be instantly depleted, and he might not be able to recover for a few days. At that time, not only would he not be able to grasp new spells, but he would also completely lose the ability to fight.
According to the rules of magical equipment, Salin estimated that he would be able to use these three spells without suffering any backlash when he reached level-5. No matter how gentle the magic of the Goddess of Nature was, it was still limited by its level. This level restriction only appeared after the fall of the Goddess of Nature. In ancient times, there were not so many restrictions on the power of humans.
It was a pity that such a powerful equipment could only be used as an ordinary spatial tool. Salin memorized the sequence of the twenty-four runes and put the ring back on. Now that he had to protect his three sleeping companions, he could not meditate, nor could he rely on the badge to train his mental strength. He could only recall some of the knowledge that he had memorized using Memory Magic, think about it repeatedly, and turn it into what he had mastered.
Memory Magic was just rote memorization. If he wanted to master the contents of the magic books and notes, he had to study it repeatedly. Although there were shortcuts on the path of magic training, Salin only had a few more resources than others. He could not achieve it overnight.
The magic books that Salin had memorized had a clear system. He searched for the parts about the Goddess of Nature Myers, intending to find the secrets of the ring.
Whether it was in the magic books or notes, there were not many descriptions about the Goddess of Myers. Most magicians would praise the Goddess in their notes. However, there was a lot about the Bestowal Ring. Salin quickly sorted out the clues.
The Bestowal Ring was made by the Myers Shrine, and there were a total of 2,124 of them. Only 12 of them had spatial magic. These 12 Bestowal Rings were made by four main shrines and eight supreme shrines, and could not be replicated. However, the Goddess of Nature was a fair deity, and the spells on the 2,124 Bestowal Rings were the same.
However, the 12 Bestowal Rings with spatial magic could open the ring-shaped space inside without the consumption of magic strings.
The four spells on the rings were Spatial Opening, Life Bestowal, Goddess's Protection, and Natural Order.
Among them, Spatial Opening was pure magic, Life Bestowal was semi-magic, Goddess's Protection was a divine spell, and Natural Order was unknown.
At this point, Salin could not help but feel disappointed. Life Bestowal, a semi-magic, seemed like a divine healing spell, and Goddess's Protection was simply a divine spell. Now that the Goddess had fallen, no matter how devout he was, he could not obtain the Goddess's protection. Natural Order was unknown? Even the sorcerers and mages couldn't understand the last incantation on the ring, so it was even more impossible for him to figure it out.
Fortunately, he had obtained the highest level of the Bestowal Ring, which could open the space inside at level one.
The highest level of the Bestowal Ring, what level would the three things left inside be? Salin fiddled with the black necklace on his neck, lost in thought.
In the Swamp of Chaos in late autumn, the magical beasts were irascible. After Sika fell asleep, Salin discovered that there were magical beasts spying on him from afar, and had no choice but to release the Fog of Confusion. The level of magic did not matter, but where it was used. The Fog of Confusion did not have any attack power, but it could hide one's aura and increase the magician's perception. It was the most practical of the low-level water spells.
After the Fog of Confusion was released, the spying magical beasts immediately lost their target. After hesitating for a while, they turned and left.
These were the magical beasts of the Swamp of Chaos. They had no concept of territory, and everything they did was to fill their stomachs. If they lost track of their prey, the magical beasts would not bother them for too long. Salin patted his chest, somewhat rejoicing that he had released the Fog of Confusion in time. Although the level of the magical beast spying on him was not high, its physical strength was somewhat terrifying. None of the creatures that could survive in the Swamp of Chaos were truly weak.
If he could only use water magic, he was still too weak. If he could use all six types of magic, he would be able to win even against a level two magician.
The longer Salin left Ceylon City, the more he realized that his level was slightly different from others. Actually, this was not because he was more talented than others. If he were to be evaluated by a Great Magician, Salin had the advantage of inheritance.
A magician without inheritance would not be able to master magic so meticulously. Second-level Spellcasting, Double Spellcasting, and Instant Spellcasting were all knowledge that many mages dreamed of.
When Salin first started learning magic, he thought that these were the skills that all magicians had to master. This led to the fact that he did not have many spells, but was able to use all of them to their fullest potential.
Furthermore, although Salin's Magic Strings was flawed, and could only use water magic, it was twice as long as a magician of the same level. In other words, the time he spent practicing magic was twice as long as a magician of the same level. Moreover, he did not care about the consumption of magic cores, so he had even more time to practice.
Magic required repeated practice to increase its power. To reduce the preparation time of a spell to 2 vibrations (two tenths of a second) often required thousands of practice sessions. Similarly, how to lock onto a target and how to delay the release of the spell required repeated practice. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy for the magician if the spell exploded in his hands.
If Salin's training method was in the Church, he would definitely be at the level of an ascetic.
Salin lamented his own weakness, but he did not know that if other level-one magicians saw his ability to cast spells, they would definitely be in so much pain that they would wish they were dead. They were both level-one magicians, but why was there such a huge difference?
Salin could not be blamed. He had read from the magic notes that it was a common method for magicians to increase their attack power.
He only saw the words' common method ', and naturally thought that it was necessary. But this so-called common method was used against a magician like Jason, who was talented, wealthy, and had an inheritance. Salin had always thought that every magician was like Jason, able to set up their own magic laboratory and own tens of thousands of magic books and notes.
Jason Statham's magic notes would cost hundreds of gold coins to borrow, not to mention the value of the notes themselves. Such a wealthy magician was not someone the nobles could recruit. It was useless no matter how much effort Viscount Guge put in.
After checking his spoils of war, Salin took out the box that Swordsman Qin Yin had entrusted to him. The box was only the size of two books, and was abnormally heavy. If not for the fact that it was in the Gift Ring, it would have been a burden to Salin's movements. One had to know that Salin had been carrying a leather bag that weighed hundreds of kilograms between Ceylon City and his ancestral home since he was 13 years old. He was not weak. Swordsmen of his age might not be as strong as him.
What could be in this box? That swordsman had not forgotten to give it to his princess even before he died.
Just one look! Salin thought to himself, I'm not trying to be greedy, and that swordsman did not say that I could not look before he died. He glanced at Cang Hong, who was still sleeping, and quietly opened the box.
A strong elemental wave was emitted from the box, and Salin's eyes only saw a green light. He immediately closed the box, and hurriedly put it into the Gift Ring. This gave him quite a fright. There was a Magic Core in the box, but Salin had never heard of such a powerful Magic Core. The elemental wave it emitted was visible to the naked eye.
Also, the shape was a natural crystal with 24 sides. Except for the Magic Core of a dragon, he had never heard of any Magic Beast that had such a perfect thing.
Schica suddenly sat up, and her hands were already gripping her staff tightly. Her hair almost stood up. She was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a powerful Magic Beast approaching, and she instinctively entered battle mode.
Cang Hong and Sarah also woke up. Salin didn't know what to say, but opening the box and exposing the Magic Core of the dragon might attract powerful Magic Beasts, and the people of the Holy Church might even sense it.
Salin was extremely regretful. Curiosity killed people!
