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

After selling all the blueprints, only the small box containing the Death Knight's Black Heart remained on the stall.

Few people stopped in the passing crowd; at most, they would glance at the passersby.

Even as the market was about to close, the small boxes remained on the stalls.

It seems they won't sell... Lorne had already given up hope; no apprentice would need this.

Just as he was about to pack up his stall, a faint spiritual force swept over him.

Spiritual perception?

Are you not afraid of causing dissatisfaction among other apprentices by releasing your mental energy fluctuations in the market?

This can be considered a form of spying. Without any means of shielding, all kinds of objects will be revealed under the scan of mental power.

Lorne's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that he had overlooked this point when he asked Theodore to hide the Ring of Purifying Flame.

The Moonlight Bag has the function of isolating perception, and since the Ring of Purification is usually kept in it, I subconsciously didn't consider it.

Even if you're anxious, there's nothing you can do. Without seeing Theodore, how can you know where the ring is?

"How much is this?" a cold voice asked.

Lorne was so flustered that he forgot to respond.

"Uh... Oh!" After coming to her senses, she realized that there was a formal wizard standing in front of the stall, wearing a hood and a tattered robe.

The apprentices around him looked indignant, but cast fearful glances at the wizard in front of them.

Is this the guy who just released his mental perception? Lorne looked him over and noticed that the guy's face, hidden in the shadow of his hood, was somewhat rugged.

"My lord..." Lorne greeted him politely, simply because the other party's wizard badge had three gold stripes.

This is at least at the level of a third-tier formal wizard!

The badges issued by the Black Tower are usually round, with a black sun symbol in the center and some decorations on both sides.

Each person can tell the strength of the other's registered position in the Black Tower by their decorations.

For example, Lorne, a first-level apprentice, has one silver mark, while Theodore has three.

Once an apprentice is promoted, they can go to the Wizard Tower to update their information and change their badge.

Lorne hasn't decided on a price for the Black Heart yet; it was looted by a Death Knight, so it's at least a full-fledged wizard-level item.

The problem is that the currency circulating among wizards in the Black Sun Tower is not magic crystals.

For apprentices, magic crystals have no function, but they do have some value and can naturally become a form of currency.

For a formal wizard, magic crystals are probably insignificant, just a prop.

Should we offer a high price and rip them off? Lorne hesitated.

The hooded wizard in front of the stall clearly didn't have that much patience. He grabbed the box containing the black heart and said in an unquestionable tone, "Take it."

Before leaving, he casually took out 10 crystal-clear stones and scattered them on the table at the stall.

Ten high-grade magic crystals?

The other party's tough stance did not displease Lorne.

It's already quite remarkable that a fully qualified wizard of at least level three didn't choose to forcibly seize it.

The badge that Mancini wore previously was a gold stripe, indicating he was a first-tier wizard. Hyman did not wear a badge, so it is unclear.

However, judging from his attitude towards Mancini, he is unlikely to be above the second rank.

Hyman forcibly took the Stable Bracelet after setting his sights on it, making Lorne realize that strength was still valued within the Black Tower.

Fortunately, the third-tier wizard didn't do that... Lorne was also sweating bullets, and put all ten high-grade magic crystals on the table into his moonlight bag.

I can go on a drug spree again!

After returning the wooden plaque representing the right to use the stall at the market management office and paying a day's rental fee, Lorne hurriedly searched for calming potions at the various stalls.

The stock of this item started to increase after the recruitment was announced, while life-saving items such as magic protection runes and mental energy recovery potions became scarce, and prices soared.

The price of Concentration Potion has dropped somewhat, from 6 medium magic crystals to 5 medium magic crystals.

Despite his haste, Lorne managed to buy ten bottles of Concentration Potions from various stalls before the market closed, spending five high-grade magic crystals.

He also used his remaining savings, albeit with great reluctance, to purchase a magic sword.

After finishing his business, he returned to Theodore's residence and began his seclusion...

Until the apprentice badges sent word of the gathering.

At this point, approximately five days had passed since the call to duty.

Inside the dimly lit and simple wooden hut, Lorne sheathed the longsword, which was gleaming faintly, and then draped it along with the short blade at his waist, one above the other.

After cleaning and tidying up a bit, he kicked aside the empty glass bottles scattered on the floor and pushed open the door.

The sunlight outside was blinding. Lorne shielded his eyes slightly until his eyes were fully adjusted to the light. His brown pupils contracted, and the rings of sunlight around his eyes shifted accordingly.

【…】

[Attributes: Constitution 9, Strength 9, Agility 9, Spirit 11, Magic 0]

【…】

[Level 2 Wizard Apprentice (Progress: 22%)]

These days, Lorne has been constantly using the "Black Sun Breathing Technique" to accumulate mental strength.

He added the attribute points from Tianhe Zhengang's upgrade to level 3 to his spirit attribute, and with the addition of ten bottles of mind-concentrating potions, he successfully broke through to the level 2 wizard apprentice.

Due to drug resistance, the calming potion became less and less effective. Initially, one bottle could advance the progress by 10%, but later it dropped to 3%.

It's unlikely that you'll be able to break through to level three again by taking drugs. You'll have to find higher-level mental power boosting potions or add points to your character stats.

Lorne activated his inner vision.

The small puddle in the sea of ​​consciousness expanded by two circumferences compared to before, gradually taking on the shape of a lake.

However, the once clear and transparent lake water has become slightly murky.

My mental energy is no longer as pure as before; it contains impurities, and there is no solution for the time being.

Drug use also has its drawbacks.

Lorne also upgraded Tai Chi from level 1 to level 2 in the past few days, and the attribute points gained were added to Agility.

At this point, the three-dimensional attributes of strength, body, and agility have reached a balanced state, with each attribute having a score of 9.

With the magic sword he bought at great expense from the market, Lorne has transformed all the useless things he had into visible power.

The main function of this magic sword is to accelerate the casting speed of spells, and it also carries a spell called [Blessing Fire].

It can be quickly activated with mental energy, adding burning damage to each slash.

Lorne's original intention was to buy a magic sword to enhance the power of his spells, but without exception, such magic swords were all priced exorbitantly.

Staffs are even more expensive; they can improve the accuracy of spells, but they are pricey and completely unaffordable.

Swords with more powerful spells are also very expensive, so in the end, I could only buy this kind of sword with spells that are not very useful to wizards.

After all, no wizard would personally step into the fray and wield a magic sword to cut down the enemy.

But it was a great help to Lorne, as close-quarters combat was his forte.

So this magic sword was a bargain, purchased for only five high-grade magic crystals.
