Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

After simulating several more scenarios and roughly grasping the current limits and application scenarios of You Longjiu, the training room returned to its normal state, and the cold force field extending from Lorne was completely withdrawn.

After spending a short time in the cubicle used for rest, Lorne left the simulation training room before time ran out and boarded the teleportation array to the Star River Hall.

On the way, he took stock of the items he currently possessed that could be used in battle.

The Spirit Vision Rune, the Magic Sword, the Ring of Purifying Flame, the Sand Pendant... are still somewhat lacking in terms of combat effectiveness.

As the light and shadow shifted, Lorne, having arrived at his destination, entered the Star River Hall through a small door.

Compared to usual, the Star River Hall was nearly deserted today. The Milky Way flowed overhead, and the starry sky was reflected below. There were only a handful of people in the spacious hall.

"Euren, business isn't very good today." Stepping into the reflected starlight, Lorne skillfully sat down at the bar and teased the idle boss behind it.

For the past ten days or so, Lorne has been asking Euryn for Star Tears every few days, and each time he comes to collect them, they always chat for a while.

After several times, the two became closer and closer, probably because they had a lot to talk about.

Euryn was a first-tier wizard, just a step away from achieving the ability to condense magical power, and he once harbored a sincere desire to pursue the ultimate in magical potions.

Unfortunately, he offended someone he shouldn't have messed with and got a severe lesson, though Lorne was unaware of the details.

In the end, he ended up opening a bar in the Star River Hall and accepting his fate, no longer resisting his destiny.

"Isn't this Lord Lorne? Here you are again, squandering your achievements?" the middle-aged man said in a joking tone, his respect tinged with arrogance.

Her fawning demeanor was completely different from when they first met.

"A glass of Moonlight Lily Dew." After ordering his drink, Lorne casually inquired about the Star Tears.

"At the rate you're consuming them, no amount of materials can keep up," Yurian complained before getting to work.

Lorne didn't pay much attention. At present, the Heavenly River True Qi has entered the stage of star core condensation, and the need for Star Tears is not so strong.

Over the past ten days or so, I have spent about 70 merit points on this alone, which is a terrifying number.

Originally, I only had a little over 500 merit points, and about one-sixth of them were consumed in just over twenty days. As my strength increases and my requirements expand, the rate of consumption will only accelerate.

The remaining 400 merit points won't last long either.

"How have you been these past few days?"

"I trained as usual, going back and forth between the training room and my residence."

"A boring life."

"hehe."

"..."

While Euryen was refining Moonlight Lily Dew, Lorne kept chatting with him, and the two spoke in the same tone as old friends.

We've only known each other for a little over two weeks, but we unexpectedly got along very well.

Euryn was clearly a middle-aged man with a story to tell, while Lorne appeared to him as a mysterious young wizard.

"By the way, are you following the path of an ice mage or are you practicing precognitive spells?" After finishing the crafting, Yurian brought out the Moonlight Lily Dew.

Lorne did not answer.

"Although it's hard to believe, you definitely have the ability to convert the energy particles acting on your body into your own."

In just over ten days, they drank about a hundred bottles of "Tears of the Stars." Even a fool could see something was amiss.

Tears of the Stars are made from a variety of medicinal herbs with special effects. They can greatly stimulate the body and mind, and their essence is a rich concentration of energy particles.

However, its manifestation is a sense of stimulation, rather than providing stellar energy particles.

In short, the effect of the Tears of the Stars on a normal wizard is to stimulate the body and mind; it has no other special functions.

It can be used as a psychostimulant.

In Euryn's eyes, Lorne was not the kind of depressed and decadent guy; his purchase of the Tears of the Stars must have been for another purpose.

So a bold idea came to him.

"When I first met you, I could feel your sharpness and vigor from head to toe, but now I can't even detect a single emotional fluctuation in you."

Euryn looked at the reserved young man before him with the eyes of someone who was an outsider. "Could you be the apprentice who has been granted the status of a formal wizard?"

He found it hard not to connect the two; perhaps it was the preconceived notion brought about by Vermilan, but Euryn felt that the apprentice must be young and possess cunning methods.

Furthermore, given the other party's seemingly inexhaustible achievements, their willingness to spend so much on a single drink is completely beyond the comprehension of common sense.

If there were such a person among the newly promoted low-level wizards, how could I not have heard of him?

But to Euryn's surprise, the boy in front of him simply shook his head and calmly denied it.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

"If I were that kind of person, would I be running to the Star River Hall every few days to ask you to refine the Tears of Stars?" Lorne said with a relaxed smile, raising the Moonlight Lily Dew and drinking it down.

Compared to Star Tears, Moonlight Lily Dew is less irritating and has a faint lily scent.

"That's true..." Euryn lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

"Why aren't there many wizards in the Star River Hall today?" Lorne asked casually as he put the empty glass back on the bar.

"Oh." Yurien snapped out of his reverie and took out an envelope with a special mark from his storage ring. "I almost forgot about this."

"The Hall of Shadows is holding a wizard auction today and tomorrow, and wizards from the other halls are all gathering there."

"Last time you asked me to keep an eye out for offensive wizard artifacts, and there happens to be an ice-attribute magic sword made by a master blacksmith at this auction."

"It's not a very high rank, just a low rank, so it won't attract much attention. Most of the competitors should be first-rank ice wizards, maybe a few second-rank ones."

Euryn placed the envelope on the table and handed it to Lorne. "This is an invitation to the auction. I got you a copy especially for it."

"There is a magical mark on it. You can participate by showing it in the Hall of Shadows."

An auction? With only two days left before the mission to lead the team, this auction has come at just the right time...

Lorne felt it was a good opportunity to participate in the auction and select items that might come in handy.

He put the invitation into his moonlight pouch, somewhat surprised by Yurien's kindness, since the two hadn't known each other for very long.

The first person to go always subconsciously assumes that the other person might have some ulterior motive.

"Thank you," Lorne said sincerely.

Euryn took the empty glass from the table. "It's nothing."

After saying their goodbyes, Lorne left immediately, as time was running out...
