When the wind blade slashed across her neck, Maria's face was filled with confusion. She had personally ended countless lives and enjoyed it. Once upon a time, her favorite thing to do was to watch her prey cry and beg for mercy before death. It made her realize the lowliness and ugliness of life.
And when this moment befell her, the female assassin realized that she was no different from the others. Her heart was also filled with fear.
If the heavens could give her another chance, she would never make the same choice again. The moment she saw someone, she would run as far as she could.
Unfortunately, there weren't so many ifs in this world. When Maria fell, she saw her own blood splattering on the young man's clothes.
The Archmage now looked somewhat ferocious under the contrast of the blood. The last image left in Maria's eyes was a shadow like a demon king standing quietly in the blood, coldly watching her death.
But in reality, Rob wasn't as cold as he looked. Looking at the female assassin's eyes gradually turning hollow, the young man scratched his head. No matter how many times he did it, he still couldn't get used to killing. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, couldn't understand why someone would feel joy from this.
Compared to taking other people's lives, wouldn't opening a bakery be happier?
But once he was targeted, the young man would no longer be polite to the other party.
Rob stood up, rubbed his bruised chest from the female assassin's kick, and walked to the unconscious rookie The Brave.
Lolo was already knocked out by the female assassin before Rob made his move. Naturally, she didn't have the chance to witness Archmage's god-like battle against two enemies and complete a double kill.
However, looking at her furrowed brows and clenched fists, it seemed that she had not given up and was still desperately trying to open her eyes. Judging from her situation at that time, the Exploration Team's chances of defeating her were actually not high. But it seemed that the girl didn't want to simply compromise with fate.
In Luo Bu's eyes, this was actually a very impressive fighting instinct!
And so, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, gave The Brave another slap on the head.
Well, praise was praise. It was rare for him to have a chance to move about freely for a period of time. The young man did not want to waste this hard-won opportunity.
He had to thank Maria who died in his hands. If it wasn't for the female assassin's habit of toying with her prey one by one, Archmage would have to think of a reasonable excuse to act alone.
This wasn't an easy task. After all, his current identity was that of a scholar with almost no combat power. It was hard to say whether the rest of the team would agree or not. In any case, Lolo definitely wouldn't allow him to leave the team and wander around the dungeon.
But now, at least no one would know what Rob did while everyone was unconscious.
Speaking of which, it seemed like this was the second time someone had forcefully knocked out the Noob Hero. As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Compared to the first time where he was nervous and conflicted, this time the Great Mage was much more familiar with the situation, and his attacks were much more decisive. Perhaps this was due to the special training that the Noob Hero had given him.
After a muffled slap, Luo Luo fell into an endless nightmare.
At the same time, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, was reflecting on whether he was walking further down the path of crime.
…
In short, if he wanted to explore the dungeon alone, he lacked a weapon. It wasn't a weapon similar to the sword on his waist, but a real weapon used by a Magician.
Edward's magic device ring was completely destroyed after he released two wind blades. But this only applied to mortals. Not being able to release magic didn't mean that all the parts inside were destroyed.
For example, magic crystals — this was an important material used in the production of many magic devices.
Rob carefully removed the magic crystal that was the size of a fingernail from the ring. The magic power inside was actually only a small amount, so it could still be used. With the gadget that he obtained from the Adventurers Guild's campsite and the oak cane in his hand, he finally had most of the materials he needed.
Yes, you guessed it right. The future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, wanted to DIY a magic staff.
It sounded simple, but only those who knew how to do it would know how difficult it was to actually do it.
The production of magic devices had never been easy (except for magic devices used in daily life like magic lamps). Otherwise, humans would only need to create tens of thousands of second type magic devices and find a group of mortals to wipe out the Dwarves, Elves, and other races and unify the Dawn Continent.
Apart from the high cost, the production process of magic devices was also maddeningly complicated. The more powerful the magic device, the more detailed it was. For example, Rob's legendary magic staff, the Lord of Evernight, had more than 200 magic arrays on it. It involved the most advanced technology of magic array compression and fusion, and it took ten years from start to finish. This was why it was so difficult to make a magic staff.
Only a small number of mages could master the complicated process of crafting a magic staff, and this work was basically carried out in a special workshop because the process required many specialized tools.
Someone like Luo Bu, who had made a magic staff with his bare hands in the wild, was probably the first person in all of history and in all of history.
It couldn't be helped. The future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, had been short of money recently. Rob finally tasted what it was like to be poor. After his few silver coins were confiscated by Lolo, the Archmage had become a proletariat.
Even the cheapest staff on the market would cost at least 50 gold coins. Becoming a Supreme Magister in the future was still a long way from his goal. Left with no choice, the young man could only walk on the path of crafting his own staff.
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, had been collecting materials ever since he chose the oak wood to make his magic staff. Rob bought the magic carving knife from the camp's trading area with the money he won from gambling. The magic crystal was only removed from Edward's magic device ring.
Strictly speaking, making a magic staff required many other supplementary materials, but most of them were used to improve the magic staff's performance and were not absolutely necessary.
With the current crude conditions, Luo Bu couldn't be too particular about it. In short, he just needed to find something that could be used to cast spells.
If he lowered his goal to this level, these three items would be enough.
The Archmage first used Lolo's Elven sword to dig a small groove at the top of the oak staff. It was just enough to fit the magic crystal that was the size of a fingernail. Then, Rob used the magic carving knife to carve a magic circle in the groove. This was the most difficult part. He needed to carve a total of three basic magic circles in the size of half a thumb. They were used to input mana, output mana, and stabilize mana.
The whole process took Luo Bu half a magic hour. During this time, the archmage's spirit was highly concentrated. Even a future Supreme Magister with outstanding mental strength was exhausted. The main reason was that he lacked many auxiliary tools, so this kind of miniature magic array had to be completed in one go. Once a section was damaged, he would have to grind it out and start again.
