Is this the spirit of a magic item?! Griffith subconsciously wanted to take off the ring and throw it away.
He has come into contact with magical items that have a will and are almost alive, and he has also tried to purchase some privately. However, this is the first time for him to have such a conversation with an item spirit.
"Don't be nervous," the shadow said, "Minos is honest and powerful. If you can provide rare and powerful materials, Minos will use the knowledge he possesses and the knowledge in this castle called Homemon Watts to
I exchange precious secrets with you. After all, Minos has been here longer than your principal!"
"You were the one who gave Camilla the power of magic and her familiar?"
"That's right," Minos' shadow raised his head proudly, "If you can collect the corresponding supplies, Minos will give you an offer you can't refuse."
"what do you want?"
"Moon spirit essence, fresh pith mushrooms, mandrake juice, first of all," Minos, the weapon spirit, said quickly, "You can get these things in the alchemy course at Homemon Watts, as long as
A little, just soak Minos in it. In exchange, Minos can share with you information about the castle and the forest, secret knowledge or potion recipes. These are things that cannot be found in textbooks and professors will not disclose them easily.
Good stuff, wait a minute..."
Minos fell silent. Griffith felt as if there was a gaze looking up and down at him, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"You brought it with you, well, what should I tell you~" Minos, the bone ring, seemed to be thinking, "Can the source of essence, which condenses the essence of life, be provided to Minos?"
Griffith nodded: "Go on."
"In return, Minos will give you some valuable knowledge on how to use the power of this magical ring," Minos said, "making you powerful very quickly."
"Sounds good," Griffith tapped his weapon lightly, "You say it first."
"Of course, of course, isn't this a deposit!~" Minos' shadow seemed to be rubbing his hands excitedly, "Minos knows that you are a trainee knight. The form of your life energy determines that although you
He has mental power, but it is difficult to mobilize the power of magic, so he has to be a 'Muggle'."
Muggle? What is this? This is the first time I heard it. Griffith understood the meaning of Minos and was also very curious about the unique noun used in it.
"As a spiritual energy node that assists the holder to advance on a more distant journey, Minos can help you condense useless mental power into spiritual runes with different attributes," Minos said seriously, "You can borrow it and use it
The corresponding magic spell. For example, the flesh and blood essence you can possess now contains the magic power of frost attribute."
"Sounds good," Griffith nodded with interest, "How can I give you the essence of flesh and blood?"
"Just put it on the ring..." Minos said, "Don't be nervous, Minos can only absorb inanimate objects. As long as you are alive, he cannot absorb life energy from your body. What you provided
The greater the price, the greater the reward I can give."
Griffith took out the gelatinous piece of flesh remaining from the tentacle from his pocket and carefully pressed it on the ring.
The white bone ring immediately emitted a light blue light and enveloped the two masses of flesh and blood. Griffith did not even notice the digestion process, and the flesh and blood essence disappeared without a trace.
After a moment, a noisy and chaotic murmur suddenly poured into Griffith's brain. In a daze, he gained some knowledge.
"Frost runes. These runes can condense spiritual power and construct the concrete form of frost magic; the user can cast spells by calling the stored runes.
“After constructing a rune each time, the caster needs to rest and recover his mental power before constructing it again.
"The number of psychic runes that can be stored is limited, with a maximum of 9. The holder can condense new runes through mental power to replenish consumption."
"Ice Armor (Level 1). Condensate a layer of ice attached to clothing, armor and weapons to increase defense and cause freezing damage to enemies attacking you, reducing his movement and attack speed; or enchanting weapons with frozen
Special effect. Casting cooldown is 15 seconds."
"Ultra-freezing ice storm/ice structure (first level). Instantly creates ice that sweeps across the earth, creates freezing effects and freezing damage within a five-yard radius, or spends a certain amount of time condensing ice of a specified shape. The casting cooldown is 15 seconds.
"It takes 15 seconds to condense one rune, and there is a 15-second public cooling time for spells with the same attributes."
The gibbering disappeared in an instant, and Griffith discovered that as long as he focused his consciousness on the bone ring, he could condense a frost rune. At the same time, he also easily mastered two frost spells.
"The remnants of that tentacle do contain good source of essence," Bone Ring Minos seemed to be explaining as he was recalling it. "Minos' current state can only unlock part of its power..."
The overjoyed trainee knight hardly listened, but tried it excitedly.
A layer of icy blue light immediately appeared on the surface of his clothes and weapons, and could be condensed into ice for defense at will, or wrapped around the blade with extremely cold air.
Griffith was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He turned his wrist and a cold and sharp ice spear immediately took shape in his hand. The frozen ice on the rocks under his feet was spreading according to his wish and will.
Frost can be constructed and formed under the power of magic!
What a powerful force!
After the two frost runes were exhausted, Griffith immediately mobilized his usually useless mental energy to condense new runes.
Soon, he once again launched the cold spell effect, which was even faster than the chanting of the experienced mages in the army. Griffith was even surprised to find that his concentration talent did affect the cooldown time and generation talisman of the skill.
Writing time becomes faster and more flexible!
Wouldn’t my talent be useful?
Suddenly, as runes and spells appeared one after another, Griffith felt as if someone had hit his head hard with a wooden stick, and he was almost knocked down by a severe headache.
"Stop it," Minos hurriedly stopped, "With your current mental power, you can only hold 3 runes at most. After each condensation, you need to rest for 6 hours to recover your energy. You can improve it through training and taking drugs.
Use spiritual potions to enhance your mental power. In addition, if you can find substances containing source matter, you can increase the type, rank, power and duration of the rune spells."
Griffith immediately stopped trying, and the echoes and dizziness in his brain disappeared, replaced by overjoyed excitement.
Spellbreakers cannot cast spells of the caster path. To cross the gap of the extraordinary path, apart from the rare dual-attribute extraordinarys, the only way is to rely on expensive and rare holy artifacts and sealed objects.
Now, as an Extraordinary in the Spell Breaker sequence, Griffith actually has a way to master the power of spell casters.
Although this power is not perfect yet, and there are still many limitations in its acquisition and use, the door has been opened in a flash.
This is why Camilla became a fallen mage. No wonder she protects this weapon so fervently.
this is mine!
My holy weapon!
my darling!
…
"If you can find such a good thing next time, you must give it to Minos," Bone Ring Minos said. "Minos does not have the power to provide other attributes of runes and knowledge. But... you can
Look beneath this black stone wall, and you will find a hut just below the slope. There lives the ranger Kroger, a descendant of the giants."
Seeing Griffith's eyes moving to the bottom of the city wall, Qi Ling continued: "He is an official employee of this school, but he is barbaric and rude, and is not welcomed by the noble mages. If you have a good relationship with him, you can
You can get many opportunities to enter the Whispering Forest and collect precious materials and valuable knowledge from there. You know, generally speaking, students are prohibited from entering there."
"I will consider it," Griffith pointed to the direction of the magnificent hall in the middle of the castle, "Does anyone know you here?"
"The appearance of this bone ring is unknown, and the aura of Minos cannot be detected. In their eyes, it is just an ornament. Don't you soldiers often use bones, ears, and noses to make jewelry?
"Minos denied Griffith's concerns, "Minos doesn't like dealing with those self-righteous mages. Unfortunately, the conversation is about to end, and Minos needs to...sleep."
After Minos said goodbye, its will immediately disappeared without a trace, like a cloud of smoke blown away by a strong wind.
Griffith hesitated for a moment and groped towards the bottom of the city wall. This solid black stone wall had been damaged in several places by the erosion of the years. Even if he did not go through the main entrance, Griffith could easily find a gap.
The school only prohibited us from entering the Whispering Forest, but did not say that we were prohibited from coming here. Griffith thought for a while and felt that Kroger, as an employee of the school, would not be in particular danger, so he started searching down the slope.
Soon, he found a huge hut. The foundation and walls of the hut were made of huge stones, and the roof was covered with thick thatch. There was also a large pumpkin patch at the door, which was full of pumpkins that were two times bigger than Griffith's head.
Three times the size of pumpkin.
Outside the pumpkin patch stood a wooden sign with the words "Kroger's Cabin" written in large, ugly letters.
"Who's out there!? Don't come and cause trouble, brat!"
Before Griffith could check the terrain, a thunderous and loud voice had already exploded in the silent darkness.
Unexpectedly, Kroger's perception was so sharp. I was noticed when I was only twenty steps away from the hut! Griffith was shocked and said hurriedly:
"I am Griffith Blanton, first-year Shutoral, apprentice knight,
"I've got some rum, and some roast venison, Mr. Kroger, if you're interested..."
Before Griffith could finish speaking, the wooden door of the hut was pushed open with a bang, and a figure nearly three meters tall ran over with a rumble: "Rum! Give me some quickly! Oh no.
,I mean, please come in, first grade kids!"
Kroger rushed out of the hut, wearing a rough leather coat, with unusually thick limbs, and carrying a bloody ax in his hand. His red eyes and ferocious face looked like a mountain bear that chooses people to eat.
.Even Griffith was shocked.
The powerful pressure came over with Kroger, and it seemed that he would be crushed by this big man in the next second. Even when facing the wolf cavalry charge, Griffith had never been so panicked!
"I don't have much, I'm afraid we have to save some drinks," Griffith tried his best to maintain his composure, picked up the wine bag around his waist and shook it towards the giant.
"Of course, rum should be enjoyed slowly in a small glass," Kroger came to Griffith and looked down at the trainee knight, "Please forgive me for being rude. I was preparing dinner, but that devil spider
He struggled hard and poked me twice."
"I completely understand. Not having dinner makes people panic." Griffith respectfully handed the wine bag and barbecue to Kroger like a gift, and walked towards the hut under the guidance of the owner of the hut who was full of joy.
"I'm really sorry, my place is very shabby." Kroger scratched the soles of his shoes on the insole at the door. While apologizing, he walked into the house, quickly took out the wine glasses and knives and forks from the cupboard, and began to pack away the food and wine in his hands.
.
This simple thatched hut was unexpectedly neat. There was almost no mud on the flat brown wooden boards, and some daily necessities were neatly placed on the simple tables and chairs. There was half a pumpkin on the dining table, and there was a pumpkin lying on the cutting board next to it.
A twitching giant black spider.
This terrifying creature has eight black tentacles and a pair of giant pincers. It is as big as a puppy, and there is a huge mouthpart on the front of its head that is opening and closing. Two axes are inserted into the body of this demon spider, and green blood stains are broken from time to time.
It spattered out from the wound intermittently, and was spread all over the chopping board.
It seems that Kroger was not invited to the banquet just now. With this living standard, there is usually no wine to drink. No wonder the reaction was so big just now.
Griffith pulled out the chair and sat down. He estimated the food that the host might serve, waved his hand and said, "I don't drink. Is there any pumpkin?"
"Yes!" Kroger happily took back the wine glass he had just handed to Griffith, broke off a large piece from the cooked pumpkin on the side and handed it to the trainee knight, then poured himself a full glass of rum.
liquor.
"Haha~" The giant took a sip quickly, and then sighed. The smell of alcohol and the smell of joy filled the air.
"How does it taste?" Griffith asked.
"Taste? Of course there's nothing to say!" Kroger took another cautious sip, "The principal is afraid that I'll get drunk and cause trouble, so I can only drink a little bit every month, less than one cup."
Griffith immediately looked at the giant with vigilance and found that he was not going to go crazy after drinking this amount, so he took a bite of Kroger's ripe pumpkin with confidence.
Ah... there is no taste at all! The trainee knight chewed the tasteless pumpkin, watched the giant carefully drink the rum, and pushed the paper bag containing the venison over.
Kroger immediately took out the venison brought by Griffith from the paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth to chew. Seeing Knight Xi's expression become more friendly.
"Mr. Kroger, are you the only ranger under the city wall?"
"Yes, rangers are a very dangerous job!" Kroger replied seriously. "There were other rangers in the past, but they were either scared away or died in the forest. Now only the permanent ones are left.
I am alone, and occasionally the principal will hire some laborers to help."
Judging from your perception, physique and strength, ordinary dangers must not be able to help you. Griffith stood up and walked to the kitchen counter, turning over the giant spider corpse that was completely dead, and used iron tongs to pick up a broken section.
Legs: "Is this black spider also a monster from the forest? Can it be eaten?"
Thick dark green meat can be vaguely seen in the gaps between the broken limbs of the demon spider. Regardless of the color, it is still quite plump.
"Yes, God! Be careful my friend, its meat is contaminated by evil magic. Eating it directly is not only harmful to the body, but also makes people crazy. It needs to be cooked carefully to eliminate the poison before eating," Kroger said
, "It takes a lot of time. If you have time next time, I will treat you to taste the magic spider meat."
"I can understand that it's harmful to the body, but what's going on that makes people crazy?"
"The forest... has, um, a very weird power, causing animals to mutate," Kroger, who had only had a few drinks, said with his already tangled tongue, "The forest is full of crazy and bloodthirsty monsters, and they
After being together... for a long time, people will also become insane. I don't understand the reason."
It's really an interesting place... While listening to Kroger's introduction, Griffith looked out the window at the silent dark forest.
Gusts of dark wind blew through the black treetops, blowing an ominous and weird sound that had never been heard before until Griffith's ears. The trainee knight calmed down and felt it carefully, and he actually felt dizzy. In the blurry darkness
, there seems to be something spying on Homemonworth.
