What was even more fortunate was that Elvin knew from the diary that only those who were truly qualified could see the strange phenomenon of the notebook under the moonlight.
This meant that Elvin himself had the most important prerequisite to become a Magus!
The only thing that Elvin regretted was that the only things that could be considered as knowledge inheritance in the notebook were the most basic meditation techniques and a mere three potion formulas. If Elvin chose to be a part-time Magus, then he would have to search for the mystical knowledge he needed to advance in the future. It would be far from the convenience of training as a Knight.
However, after careful consideration, Elvin finally decided to be a part-time Magus!
Although there might be some risks, the benefits were obviously greater. After all, a Magus was an existence that stood at the top of the supernatural chain. It would be a fool not to take a part-time job when there was an opportunity.
Even Uncle Gör, a peak level two Magus, was somewhat dissatisfied with the living conditions of the Knight. Elvin naturally did not want to position himself as a mere high-level fighter.
Only those who had experienced it knew how important it was for a person to have more choices at critical moments!
"Phew —!"
Having made such an important decision, Elvin felt as if a stone had been lifted from his heart. After keeping the notebook close to his body, he realized that he had not eaten for almost a day.
Patting his growling stomach, he decided to call Gary to go to a restaurant to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.
Only then did he have the chance to ask Gary about what happened last night.
"We waited at the dock for half a day, but the strange thing was that after checking, they said that nothing was missing. At that time, we clearly saw the thief carrying a bag! "
Last night, after checking, the officers on the supply ship did not find anything valuable missing. They only thought that the thief had been scared away in time and did not have time to steal anything.
After thanking Gary and the others for their warning, this matter was left unsettled.
Elvin touched the item in his chest and quietly let go of his last bit of worry.
He did not know what it was.
This precious Magus notebook was actually a normal book, mixed in with at least a hundred other books of various types, and was prepared to be transported to the next naval base to replenish the library's collection.
On the supply ship's inventory, the unit of measurement for these books was "a pile", so the officers on the ship did not notice what was missing.
"How strange!"
How did "Zorro" know about something that even the quartermaster didn't discover? Moreover, from the layers of "packaging" he had put on the book, it was obvious that he had long known the nature of the book.
Elvin only realized that he had done something rash after reading Leon's notes.
The best way to deal with a strange magical item was to not touch it. Even if he wanted to touch it, he had to make sure that he was as safe as Zorro before he could touch it.
Fortunately, there were no curses or magical traps in Leon's notes. This allowed Elvin to avoid a possible misfortune.
.....
In the middle of the night, the entire city fell into silence. The occasional sound of waves coming from outside the window made the room even more silent.
The gentle and cold moonlight shone on the young man on the bed.
What was strange was that he wasn't lying on the bed. Instead, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. It was as if he had fallen into a strange state of tranquility.
The clock ticked away, and it was unknown how long it had been in this state.
"Ding! Spirit attribute has been activated! "
Elvin's eyes instantly opened. In his field of vision where others couldn't see, a line of data slowly appeared.
Name: Elvin Garrett
Gender: Male
Military rank: Captain (Silver Wing of the Third Fleet of the Faletis Kingdom)
Occupation rank: Peak Novice Knight, Beginner Sorcerer-Apprentice
Attributes: Vitality 0.95
Strength 0.92
Agility 0.98
Spirit 0.28
Skills: Basic Meditation (Entry) White Sail Swordsmanship (Proficient) Faletis Army Knife Technique (Proficient) Archery (Proficient) Grammar (Proficient) Nautical Knowledge (Proficient) Potioneering (Proficient)
The theory behind the digitized vision was too mystical. Elvin was too lazy to explore it. Now, even the illusory spirit energy could be turned into energy. He felt that he had underestimated this "golden finger". When he first got it, calling it "golden fingernail" was a bit of an injustice.
The original intelligence attribute in the attribute window had been replaced by the spirit attribute, and the initial value was as high as 0.28. It wasn't starting from zero as he had imagined. In fact, if he thought about it carefully, it was reasonable. Not activating the spirit through meditation didn't mean that it didn't exist.
It was just like before the Knight's training, your vitality, strength, and agility attributes already had basic values.
Although Elvin didn't know what the initial value of 0.28 was among wizards, but from the fact that he entered the state of mind after just one meditation, it seemed that his qualifications were not bad.
After closing the attribute window, Elvin found that his senses had become much sharper with the activation of his spirit energy. Things in his eyes became more vivid, and he could hear the rustling of insects outside the room. His sensitive skin seemed to be able to feel the subtle flow of air in the room.
This was an experience that he had never experienced before in his Knight's training. For some reason, a sentence from a scripture in his previous life suddenly popped up in Elvin's mind: "Only cultivating one's life and not one's nature, this is the first disease of cultivation; only cultivating one's nature and not cultivating one's life, it will be difficult for a spirit to become a saint."
Could it be that dual cultivation of magic and martial arts was the right way to open up? However, it wasn't until a long time later that Elvin found out the answer to this question.
He jumped off the bed.
Elvin opened Leon's notebook again and marked out the only three extraordinary methods, which were the three types of potions. They were all Leon's own proud inventions, and using relatively cheap materials, they could be formulated with magical effects comparable to magic potions.
Although they didn't have the magical attacking power of the wizards that Elvin imagined, he didn't feel regretful. The fighting power of an apprentice wizard might not be as good as that of an ordinary fully armed sailor, but as a proper Knight, he didn't lack this little bit of fighting power.
The auxiliary methods of the wizards were what he valued the most. With these, Elvin was already very satisfied.
The three types of potions were as follows:
The first was the Bird Language Potion. This type of potion wasn't for people to eat, but was a supplementary potion that was fed to birds after being formulated to cultivate intelligent birds. It could make these elves in the sky become excellent scouts, spreading their eyes and ears everywhere, and greatly expanding the scope of investigation.
The second was called the Whale Potion. It was a supplementary training potion for an official Knight. A normal Knight's daily life was fighting, training, and most importantly … eating. Eating was a very important part of a Knight's life. Sufficient energy replenishment was the foundation of a Knight's strong physique.
Its effect was to greatly increase the speed of digestion. The more one ate, the faster the body would become violent, and eventually, one would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with large beasts like lions and tigers. In Elvin's view, this was an enhanced version of "digestive tablets, chewed before and after meals."
The third was called the Extraction Potion. When used together with the Whale Potion, it could transform the flesh and blood essence of violent animals or large sea beasts into nutrients that could be absorbed by humans. It was a holy potion for the Knight's path of cultivation, and also had a strong auxiliary effect on the weak bodies of wizards.
