After returning to Silvermoon City, he did not choose to stay overnight in the military camp. Instead, he returned to the property he had bought in Silvermoon City.
"Another mission has been completed. This time, the merit points should be enough for me to purchase those documents, right?"
Silverymoon City's wizard database wasn't something that could be accessed just by having money. There were special requirements to access it, and information on high-level spells had to be exchanged with merit points.
This was one of the reasons why Leylin joined the city guards.
Thinking of this, he could not help but take a look at his own attributes.
[Leylin?
Strength: 10, Agility: 10, Vitality: 10, Spirit: 12, Status: Healthy. Feats: Sturdy, Erudite, Elementary Perfect Body. Spell Slots: Rank 5 (3), Rank 4 (5), Rank 3 (7), Rank 2 (???).
, Level-1 Spell Slot (???)
, Level-0 Spell Slots (???)]
Silverymoon was indeed the cradle of wizards in the north. With abundant resources and research materials, Leylin had managed to advance a rank through his own efforts.
On top of that, the analysis of the Weave sped up with more information.
"The progress of the rank 3 Weave is already at 99.99%, just a little more …"
Leylin sighed and entered the workshop.
"Good … Good day!
Mister Leylin! "
There, the three mage apprentices jumped like frightened rabbits.
Bessany blushed slightly, while Ina and her sister tidied up the messy laboratory table behind her.
"Welcome home, sir!"
In the end, Bessany mustered up the courage to speak.
After more than a year of study, they already knew how difficult it was to become a mage above level 10, and what kind of talent and status this young noble mage in front of them had.
"En!"
Leylin nodded in a dignified manner. "I'll hire you for ten gold kronas every month. At the same time, I'll give you the right to use my workshop.
You don't have to feel ashamed … "
While these female acolytes were helping Leylin with his work, they were also trying to practice alchemy.
It was a pity that he didn't have a master teacher to guide him.
Even with a specialized alchemy laboratory, he couldn't make much progress.
"Oh!"
As soon as Leylin finished speaking, Isadora cheered, "I knew Mister Leylin wasn't such a stingy person …"
"That means … that's what you thought before?"
Leylin rubbed his nose, scaring Ina into hurriedly pulling her sister to apologize. There were countless acolytes in Silverymoon City.
There were very few opportunities to find such a good job. If they did not happen to know Leylin, the three of them would not have had the chance to come. Hence, Ina treasured her current job very much.
"Forget it … I was just joking!"
Even a few unintentional words from him could make the beautiful spell apprentice in front of him tremble in fear. This was the power brought by high status and power!
Moreover, the source of this power was Leylin himself, and no one could take it away.
Leylin waved his hand dispiritedly, then went to the counter at the side and unlocked the magic lock.
"How's the sales of magic items recently?"
Leylin took out a black boxing glove from the sealed counter.
The surface of the dark beast skin had a cold and hard luster, and seemed to be filled with some kind of power.
At the bottom of the glove was an incomplete magic formation, and there were obvious gaps in a few spell circuits.
"The two alchemy items consigned for sale at Hawk's Miscellaneous Store have all been sold for a total of 8000 gold coins. According to the agreement, the other party can receive a tenth of it.
The money has already been transferred to your account in the Goddess of Wealth's church, and you can collect it at any time. Also, a few other magic item shops and auction houses have contacted me, hoping to obtain your work … "
Bessany returned to her normal self.
She began to report.
With Leylin's terrifying skills as a grandmaster in his previous life, once he familiarized himself with the laws of alchemy in the World of Gods and grasped Permanence, the magic items he made would naturally not be too bad.
In reality.
Seeing that the magic items Leylin had casually made could be sold for thousands of gold coins, it was impossible for Bessany not to be envious.
It was a pity that she only had the right to record the sales, whether it was the delivery of magic items or the transfer of gold coins.
Both Leylin and Bessany had done it personally, and there was no chance for her to make a move.
Under the temptation of greed, humans could erupt with terrifying power. Even in the face of death, they could remain unfazed. Knowing this, Leylin naturally would not give her the chance to betray him.
'It seems like Bessany's hands and feet are still clean … There's value in nurturing her …' Leylin thought indifferently.
He placed the boxing glove on the experiment table, and put on a device that looked like a magnifying glass for his eyes.
Powder mixed with mithril floated down from Leylin's fingers, giving off a silvery lustre in the ink bottle. Afterwards, Leylin dipped a hard-tipped pen in the silver ink and began to draw on the magic formation.
Bessany and Ena held their breaths, watching Leylin's movements closely.
Alchemy masters all had their own unique techniques, and it was rare to see someone like Leylin, who did not hold anything back and allowed others to watch, even in Silverymoon. It was enough to make other alchemy acolytes go crazy!
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and Leylin quickly finished drawing the final magic formation.
Afterwards, his hands flickered with a layer of light.
Under the stimulation of the incantation and magic energy, the magic formation on the boxing glove began to emit waves of magic, enveloping the entire boxing glove.
"Now!"
Leylin's eyes brightened, and he cast a rank 5 spell without hesitation.
[Permanent Magic]!
The magnificent and powerful magic lustre caused the three sisters' eyes to reveal an intoxicated look.
Under the effects of Permanent Magic, the light from the entire magic formation grew even stronger, and finally began to hide within the boxing glove.
[Beep!
Boxing Glove of Might has been created successfully!]
The A.I. Chip sent a prompt at this moment, along with specific data and information.
[Item Name: Strength Gauntlet, Weight: 525 grams, Materials: Giant Skin, Inkstone, Mithril, Effect: Increases the user's Strength by 1 (limited to 10 and below), Description: This is a gauntlet brimming with strength, and is also the favorite of all warriors and knights. The creator has used a unique alchemy technique to give this gauntlet even more strength!]
"Mm!
Not bad! "
Alchemy items of this level were out of reach for Bessany and the others, but to Leylin, it was just something to practice with.
He soaked the boxing glove in a transparent glass jar filled with a solution, undergoing the final nurturing and adaptation. He then said to Ina, "Inform the shop's people to come and collect the goods tomorrow!"
"Understood, Mister!"
Sir! "Ina bowed respectfully and left the room.
"How was it?
Did you understand? "Leylin looked at Bessany beside him, a hint of ridicule in his eyes. As for Isadora?
Leylin completely ignored her.
"Not at all!
My Lord's techniques are even more profound than those elven masters … "Bessany had unknowingly used honorifics.
In fact, she obviously hoped to officially become Leylin's acolyte, but it seemed like he had no intention of doing so.
"Alchemy requires systematic study. It's normal that you can't understand it for now …" Leylin looked at Bessany.
Leylin looked at Bessany, and from her eyes he could clearly see her thirst and determination towards magic. Of the three acolytes, she was perhaps the only one who could succeed in the end.
"So … Are you willing to give up your monthly commission and three hourglasses of overtime every day in exchange for half an hourglass of my tutoring in alchemy every week?"
Leylin asked. Exchanging knowledge for labour was very common among high-ranked wizards, and there were even examples of female acolytes giving up their bodies.
"I'm willing!
Of course I'm willing! "Bessany was so excited that her speech was incoherent, and she immediately agreed.
Truly learning alchemy was just a dream given her wealth. Apart from Leylin, there were probably no other alchemists who would be willing to accept her as an acolyte.
"Very well!
Come find me in my room after work! "
Leylin nodded and walked out of the shop.
He could not stay here forever to create magic items. Since Bessany was interested and talented in this area, it was not a bad idea to nurture her.
"Congratulations!
Bessany! "
Behind him, Isadora congratulated him, as well as Bessany's tears of joy. Leylin's lips curled into a ruminating smile.
Things that belonged to the devil were not so easy to take!
… …
Leylin walked all the way to the centre of Silverymoon, to the Wizards' Guild next to the palace.
After passing through a few extremely strict checks, Leylin arrived outside the wizard's database.
"Welcome!
Leylin?
Lord Faulen!
As a mid-ranked military wizard, you can browse through the contents of the first three levels. After the fourth level, you will need the corresponding amount of merit points! "
The tower genie's robotic voice sounded.
The wizard's database was a small library, and there were a few elderly wizards diligently reading something. Their auras were deep and tranquil, but they were extremely terrifying.
Leylin did not disturb them. Instead, he found a book that he had yet to finish reading, 'Exploration of the Rank 6 Weave', and began to read.
The A.I. Chip continued to work, recording everything Leylin saw.
(To be continued.)
