Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 23 Meteorite Grass

On the first floor of the library, there is a huge wall with a clear and detailed description of the types of books available on each floor.

Hrag's goal was clear: he wanted to look at things related to world geography first, and he found them on the second floor.

As he went up the stairs, he discovered a study room-like space on the first floor, with rows of tables and chairs. There were already quite a few students studying there, giving Hrag the illusion of returning to a library from his previous life.

When Herag arrived at the geography section, he found that it mainly contained geography books about the continent of Colson, with very few about world geography.

"Deep Blue, start recording the contents of every book I read to expand the database."

"Task has been created, commence execution."

Helag found a total of three books on world geography, but none of them were detailed enough. The authors themselves had only visited a limited number of places, and much of the content was hearsay, so its authenticity needs to be verified.

"Deep Blue, organize the information from these three books and summarize the existing world geography-related information."

Herag skimmed through the three books; he didn't need to read them carefully, he just needed Deep Blue to record them completely.

"The sorting is complete."

Herag flipped through the results compiled by Deep Blue, which presented a world map that was currently known.

The continent beneath his feet is called Coulson, with an estimated area of ​​15 million square kilometers. The nearest continent to Coulson is the continent of Karag, located to the northwest.

The continents of Coulson and Karag are separated by an ocean, the exact distance of which is unknown and lacks supporting data. Based on accounts in travelogues and biographies, it can only be estimated to be about 6,000 kilometers.

The map of the Krag continent is also incomplete; currently, only a corner of it is known, and there is no further information available.

Beyond these two continents lie boundless seas and numerous small islands.

"The information is quite scarce." Herag looked at the pieced-together map with some emotion. The people of the Coulson Continent were almost in a primitive age, and their understanding of the world outside their own continent was practically zero.

The productivity level of the continent of Colson is too low to support long-distance voyages.

What Herag was certain of was that the ship carrying the wizard apprentices was heading to the continent of Karrag.

According to Claude, the ship came from the east, passed through the continent of Coulson, and then headed northwest to the continent of Karag.

However, there are no records of the eastern continent at all; its location and size are not even known on maps.

"Looks like we need a Columbus," Herag joked to himself.

He continued searching but found no other information about world geography, so he turned and went to the fourth floor.

The books on plants are on the fourth floor, and Herag wants to look up information about meteorite grass.

"Found it." Herag found the meteorite grass in a book called "Encyclopedia of Rare Plants".

"Meteorite grass has fiery red petals and only grows near meteorites. It has some ornamental value, but its medicinal value is unknown."

Herag then looked up information about meteorites and discovered that there was a famous meteorite crater near Swan City, about ten kilometers away.

Snapped!

Herag closed the book, went back inside, grabbed his steel bow and longsword, and rode out of the city.

The meteorite crater outside Swan City is enormous, with a diameter of 500 meters, forming a circular depression on the ground.

Herag rode his horse at full gallop, taking half an hour to reach the crater.

The land here is very different from other places; the soil is fiery red and there is very little vegetation.

Herag slowly walked down a slope into the depression, while keeping an eye out for any traces of meteorite grass.

The crater contains many puddles and some sparse vegetation.

He wandered around inside for a long time before finally finding a fiery red flower at the foot of the innermost mountain wall.

Herag took out a small shovel he had prepared beforehand and dug from the roots of the meteorite grass, trying to preserve the integrity of the roots as much as possible.

"Warning: A high-energy magical source is approaching at high speed!"

"A high-energy magic source?" Before Herag could react, he was sent flying by the powerful impact, still clutching the meteorite grass tightly in his hand.

"Severe burns detected on the back; immediate use of Healing Touch is recommended."

Herag winced in pain and turned around to see a red-haired boy smiling at him, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"He's still alive?" The red-haired boy was somewhat surprised.

"Deep Blue, detect the other party's body data."

Strength 1.5, Agility 1.6, Constitution 2.1, Spirit 3.9.

Herag took a deep breath: "Spirit 3.9, 0.4 higher than mine. It seems the other party is also a first-class wizard apprentice."

He had estimated that it would take at least five points of mental strength to break through to the level of a second-class wizard apprentice.

Herag suffered extensive burns on his back, with some of the skin and flesh charred.

"That flower is me..." The red-haired boy wanted to say something more, but Herag had already drawn his longsword and pressed down on him.

He raised his right hand, and the emerald ring on his middle finger emitted a green light. Then, a fireball the size of a basketball quickly formed and shot towards Herag at an extremely fast speed.

The distance between Hellagur and the red-haired boy was at least three hundred meters, which is why Deep Blue didn't notice them.

Because of the distance, Hellagur was unable to strike first and was forced to retreat to avoid the fireball.

He quickly adjusted his posture, changed the direction of his force, and jumped to hide behind a nearby mound of earth.

The fireball landed where he had been standing and exploded.

"It appears to lack tracking capabilities," Helag concluded.

He took out his fine steel sword, nocked an arrow, turned around, and quickly fired it.

The red-haired boy reacted quickly, shouting, "Partially petrified!"

The color of the watch on his left wrist changed, turning into a grayish-white, stone-like substance.

When the arrow came flying, the red-haired boy blocked it with his left hand.

The arrow collided with his palm, sparking.

The red-haired boy was a little angry: "That really hurts!"

Hrag, who was hiding behind the mound of earth, saw this scene and felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

He possessed immense magical power, yet lacked any magical offensive means, leaving him in a passive position.

"Deep blue, shield me from pain."

"Blocked".

Herag channeled magic into his pocket watch and cast a Holy Healing spell on himself, instantly healing most of the injuries on his back.

"Remaining magic power: 70%."

The red-haired boy sensed the magical fluctuations here and his eyes lit up: "You actually have magical items! What an unexpected bonus!"

He said smugly, "It seems you're also a wizard apprentice, but why don't you know a single spell? Is your aptitude too poor, or is your teacher's level too low? Although the continent of Coulson lacks wizard training resources, don't you even know some basic spells? Besides, your enchanted item looks like a healing or support item. You're doomed."
