Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 45 Storage Staff

Bang!

Using her magic hand, Jiang Weifang slapped the charging barbarian away. Without even catching her breath, she quickly prepared the incantation for her next spell.

More than twenty meters away, a strong barbarian wielding a copper hammer charged towards them with a ferocious expression.

On the other side, the barbarian who had just been sent flying got up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and charged forward again without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jiang Weifang felt secretly anxious.

There were only two barbarians, but both of them were at the level of intermediate knights.

If it weren't for the magical robe she was wearing, which was protected by swords, she would have died long ago from the attack of the two barbarians.

However, the current situation is still far from optimistic.

The magic robe was nearing its limit in terms of damage, while the two barbarians had only suffered minor injuries and still had most of their fighting strength remaining. If the magic robe's protection were to collapse, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Weifang's predicament, the two barbarians grinned maliciously, their lewd gazes lingering on the girl's alluring figure, which even her grey robe could barely conceal.

Noticing their gazes, Jiang Weifang's pretty face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, unleashing a burst of acid, which the barbarian anticipated and dodged.

The next second, a hammer and a sword struck the girl simultaneously.

A faint radiance emerged from the robe, firmly blocking the two's attacks.

"I'll see how long your turtle shell can hold out!"

The barbarian wielding the hammer sneered and swung his heavy hammer down again.

Jiang Weifang dodged in a disheveled manner.

Although she had also practiced breathing techniques, she had not yet condensed a life seed, and her physique remained at the level of a trainee knight. In close combat alone, she was no match for two intermediate knights.

After dodging the barbarian's attack once again, Jiang Weifang had a sudden thought, and a short oak staff suddenly appeared in her palm.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted oak staff in her hand, a pang of heartache flashed in the girl's eyes.

This is an alchemical-grade magical item she bought at a high price. It contains five acid splash spells and five stun spells. Once activated with mental power, the spells can be released instantly, saving the need for chanting.

Furthermore, the spell's power is at least five degrees.

If it hits, it's more than enough to instantly kill a mid-level knight.

But the price is that each use reduces the number of times it can be used.

Once all ten spells are used, the staff, worth over a thousand gold coins, will be no different from an ordinary wooden stick.

However, staying alive is more important right now.

Without life, keeping the staff is meaningless.

Jiang Weifang quickly made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and prepared to use her staff to kill the two damned barbarians.

But before she could make a move, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the woods, flashing to the side of the barbarian wielding the hammer in the blink of an eye. With a casual swing, a huge head shot into the sky, spurting hot blood a meter high.

The sudden turn of events startled Jiang Weifang.

But after seeing the person's face clearly, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Pei Ze!"

Pei Ze nodded to her, then his figure flashed and he rushed towards another barbarian.

The barbarian turned and ran away in terror, but before he had gone far, he felt a strong wind coming from behind. The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Looking down, he saw a gleaming sword tip protruding from the center of his chest, still stained with traces of warm blood.

Pfft!

The barbarian's eyes widened as he fell to the ground, lifeless.

Jiang Weifang stared at the scene in disbelief, her heart filled with shock.

She had no doubt that Pei Ze could easily take down two intermediate knights.

She didn't use any spells; she killed two mid-level knights with just a longsword, which was truly beyond her expectations.

Judging from how easily he chopped vegetables and watermelons just now, Pei Ze's physique has at least reached the level of a peak knight!

Did he cultivate some kind of advanced breathing technique and reach a very high level?

Or is it that his mental strength is extremely high, which leads to a surge in his physical constitution?

Jiang Weifang was filled with doubt and unease.

Only when Pei Ze approached did the girl come to her senses, and she said gratefully, "Thank you, Pei Ze, I owe you a favor!"

Pei Ze waved his hand: "Even if I don't take action, you have a way to take them down."

As he spoke, he glanced at the oak cane in Jiang Weifang's hand.

Staffs are relatively common magical items. Like dimensional bags, they are among the few magical items that even first-level wizard apprentices can use. They are generally divided into two types: recording type and storage type.

The former usually refers to a staff that has a certain spell embedded in it. By simply inputting a small amount of mental energy to activate the spell module in the staff, the spell can be released.

Since the spells of the recording staff are permanent, they can be cast repeatedly as long as the holder has sufficient mental energy.

Storage staves are different; they can only store a certain number of spells, and once they are used up, they are essentially useless.

Because storage staves are relatively easy to make, many enchanting apprentices like to use them to practice.

This has led to the widespread availability of alchemical storage staves on the market, which are relatively inexpensive.

In comparison, recording staves have more demanding requirements for enchanting skills, and the spells that are solidified are at least first-level spells, with the lowest level being luminous magic items, making them far more valuable than storage staves.

Clearly, the staff in Jiang Weifang's hand is a storage-type staff.

This staff has at least 10 spellcasting opportunities, more than enough to deal with two mid-level knights.

Jiang Weifang shook her head and said, "This staff is my only trump card. Every time I use it, it's gone. If I waste it here, I'll be in big trouble in the next few days."

Pei Ze nodded without saying anything more, and looked at the two corpses on the ground.

Jiang Weifang tactfully said, "You can have those two's points."

Pei Ze didn't stand on ceremony, since he was indeed the one who dealt with the person.

Before long, the crystal bracelet gained another 20 points.

"What are your plans next?" Pei Ze asked.

Jiang Weifang clasped her hands together and looked at him pitifully, saying, "How about we team up? It'll only take three days. Once I've earned enough points, I'll find a place to hide and won't bother you anymore. I'll also pay you the full amount of the reward."

Pei Ze thought about it and agreed.

After all, everyone had made a promise beforehand, and he is a man of his word.

Upon seeing Pei Ze agree, Jiang Weifang immediately beamed with joy.

With a skilled fighter like Pei Ze around, she'll be much safer from now on.

This was quickly verified.

Not long after they resumed their journey, the two were attacked by a group of barbarians.

More than forty barbarians launched an attack from all directions at the same time, their battle cries echoing through the forest. Then, Pei Ze wiped them all out with a single sword.

Jiang Weifang, hiding in the back, had just killed a knight-level barbarian when she turned around and found that the attackers had been completely wiped out.

Even though she had already witnessed Pei Ze's power, she still couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

This is the right company to latch onto!

After cleaning up the battlefield, Pei Ze's score skyrocketed by over a hundred points, propelling him into the top twenty of the leaderboard.

The rankings are now polarized, with the lowest score among the top level two wizard apprentices being over 1,200.

The highest score among the first-level wizard apprentices was only a little over 300.

For example, Jiang Weifang has only earned 256 points so far.

Such a huge gap is not without reason.

A level two wizard apprentice far surpasses a level one wizard apprentice in both casting speed and spell power, making it entirely possible to easily kill mid- to high-level knights.

If one possesses one or two magical items, one can even contend with a Grand Knight.

In contrast, a first-level wizard apprentice would struggle even to deal with a mid-level knight in a one-on-one fight.

Unless one possesses a special magical item like Jiang Weifang, being able to escape is considered a success once surrounded by multiple mid-level knights.

It is normal for the scores of the two to differ greatly.
