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

"Huff, huff—" Lorne breathed greedily.

He had foreseen this day when he used the Ring of Purification to deal with the Phosphorous Fire Beetles and later learned from Sadiq that "Purification" could resolve the hidden dangers of the Black Sun Breathing Technique.

Wizard Tower has a dedicated place to forge magical artifacts, but the other party chose to set up a carefully concealed location underground in the resource area, which must have a special purpose.

Or rather, there are special features about the Ring of Purification that other wizards cannot know about.

Lorne had expected the guy who forged the Ring of Purifying Flame to come to him quietly, but to his surprise, Hyman came directly with another wizard and started threatening him with his life and probing him with various words.

If I had acted strangely just now, unlike the reaction or counterattack of an innocent person, I probably would have been killed on the spot.

No wonder they say that full-fledged wizards and apprentices are completely different beings.

Apprentices need to draw upon their mental energy to cast spells, while fully qualified wizards can directly influence reality through magic.

Hyman's magical suppression alone nearly killed him...

The moment I was enveloped by the magic, it felt as if all the moisture in my body had been sucked out.

Mancini's words came to mind.

One particular passage left a very deep impression on Lorne.

That is...

The magic contains the property of "dryness"!

Does this mean that every formal wizard has different magical properties?

A wizard's training cannot be neglected...

If every formal wizard were as terrifying as Hyman, then simply unleashing magic would leave me with no means of threatening them.

Before today, Lorne thought he had a slight chance of winning against the wizard.

After all, a wizard's main method is to cast spells. In close combat, how would the opponent have a chance to cast spells?

It turned out that I was too naive. My physical condition, which was only 9 points, couldn't even last a few minutes under Hyman's magical suppression.

"Speak! How did you release the 'purification' flame that day?" Hyman pretended to be confused, looking down at Lorne who was lying on the ground.

Fortunately... Lorne didn't panic, because he had prepared in advance.

"Lord Hyman, are you referring to the day of the Phosphorus Beetle attack?" Lorne looked like he had just survived a disaster and didn't understand what the other person meant.

"That day I was making runes when the Phosphorus Beetles attacked very quickly... In the end, I took out the scroll and released the purifying flames."

Lorne recounted the events of that day to Hyman, while simultaneously taking out a fire element purification scroll he had purchased beforehand from the market from his moonlight pouch:

"I still have one of those scrolls. If Lord Hyman is interested, I will gladly present it to you."

Having said that, he raised the reel high.

Mancini then chimed in, "Based on the situation at the time, that's certainly the case."

This explanation still failed to convince Hyman. He grabbed the scroll from Lorne's hand, injected a wisp of mental energy into it, and the scroll was activated on the spot.

He held the white flame, slightly impure, tightly in his hand.

The flames flickered gently in the wind, as if to prove that what Lorne said was indeed true.

"Damn it!" Hyman's face flushed red with rage.

The purifying flames were slowly inhaled into his nasal cavity, as if there were no obstacles.

"This is really shoddy..." Hyman parted his lips slightly and uttered four words.

I spent one and a half high-grade magic crystals to buy this, and it was just sucked away like that? Lorne felt his heart bleeding.

"Such a big fuss..." Mancini sighed, "Heyman, stop fooling around."

He was very puzzled. First, he used the extremely precious Tracking Butterfly, then he went to the storage department to retrieve the spiritual power preserved by the apprentices, and finally he found the person in question and attacked him without any mercy.

What was the purpose of all this? Mancini was very puzzled.

Hyman was furious, giving Lorne a very unfriendly look from head to toe, his eyebrows almost furrowed together.

Finally, my gaze fell on the stabilizing wristband on Lorne's wrist.

Fueled by anger and confusion, Hyman practically roared, "Why do you have this?!"

"What is this?" Mancini, who was standing nearby, had obviously noticed it because of Hyman's loud shout.

"A stabilizing bracer." After a moment's thought, Mancini blurted out, "Isn't this the magical artifact crafted by that lord?"

Who is it? Lorne was completely bewildered. Wasn't the Stabilizing Bracelet Sadiq's? Could its origin be more complicated than it seemed?

He was just about to ask the relevant question—

Enraged, Hyman forcefully snatched the stabilizing bracelet from his wrist: "You lowly apprentice! You don't deserve it."

After speaking, he put the stabilizing wristband on his wrist.

"The sea..." Mancini hesitated, his eyes darting around before he finally acquiesced to the fact that this had happened.

"Understood, Lord Hyman." Lorne remained humble, offering no rebuttal.

The veins on his arms, which were clenched tightly beneath his robes, bulged.

The celestial vortex was spinning rapidly, already directing the celestial energy towards Lorne's arms.

But reason stopped him.

Faced with this action by a formal wizard, even if there are dissenting opinions, they cannot protest openly.

It's just a magical artifact; nothing is more important than life...

It wouldn't be easy for a legitimate wizard to crush himself; according to Mancini, Hyman would only face punishment if he openly killed himself.

The other party is easily angered. If you try to take back the bracelet and provoke them without ensuring your own safety, you might end up as ashes.

There's no need to risk your life for a magical artifact.

After getting his hands on the stabilizing wristband, Hyman completely lost interest in Lorne and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he happily fiddled with the wristband on his wrist as he left.

"Take care, Hyman... sir." Lorne bowed to Hyman as he walked away, his expression uncertain.

"Ahem." As more and more apprentices gathered around, Mancini's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He patted Lorne on the shoulder: "Lord Hyman values ​​this item you possess; that's something to be happy about!"

"He wouldn't treat a mere apprentice unfairly; he would exchange this magical artifact for very expensive resources."

"That is, once you become a formal wizard, you can become his student, and he will teach you how to cultivate the [Dryness] trait!"

"This is something countless professional wizards dream of!"

Mancini's words were less directed at Lorne and more at the surrounding crowd.

For a certified wizard to rob an apprentice of his personal belongings in public is a very serious offense.

But as long as you make some distant, hard-to-fulfill empty promises, this becomes a small matter.

It will be seen by others as a "transaction".

Sure enough, several envious glances were cast from the crowd.

Lorne responded to Mancini with a smile, "It's truly my 'honor'."

He emphasized the word "honor" very heavily.
