Chapter 182 Spiritual Vein Mine

Listening to the whistling magic wind coming from the upper ceiling, Leon sat in the wizard's workshop, humming a little tune leisurely while busying himself with the work at hand.

In front of the bright workbench, he used tweezers to embed the outer frame parts of the creation in front of him into the joint surface coated with adhesive. Finally, he placed the small Patis crystal that had not yet carried magic power into the base of the cage frame.

The careful action made him feel as if he had returned to the time when he played with glue and made molds in his previous life.

"Perfect." Leon screwed on the lid with a handle and picked up the palm-sized iron lantern made of a multi-faceted tower frame.

This is a real "earth vein spirit lamp" made of standard materials in the wizard tower warehouse.

As the name suggests, the function of this thing itself is to explore the earth's spirit veins.

The reason why it can be used to find the way in the spirit-like field is that Laura taught him to process some additional seals and necromancy runes.

The original spiritual lamp in the wooden cage had already been overwhelmed after two uses.

After being placed for such a long time, even if it was carefully preserved, the rune wick with mudstone structure inside was completely damaged due to the change of climate.

Leon had already kept the small wooden cage that completed its mission as a souvenir in the depths of the treasure house of the main castle.

The brand new small lantern in his hand was the first qualified magic item he made as a wizard apprentice, completely by himself.

However, he still engraved the path-finding combination runes around the wick like his predecessors. Anyway, it did not affect the original use, and it was good to have one more function. After all, who knows if he will be trapped in a cursed land again in the future.

Picking up the small tower-shaped lantern and hanging it on his belt with a buckle, Leon fiddled with it and felt that it looked like a unique pendant decoration.

After extinguishing the magic power in the magic crystal lamp on the workbench, Leon packed up his tools and utensils, got up and came to another test bench, approached Corvis, and looked at the enchantment processing he was doing on the sword.

"Is the inscription of 'friendship' okay? If it is, it doesn't matter if it is erased." Leon asked.

Corvis heard this and shook his head gently: "It's okay. The knowledge I learned from your magic book can reduce a lot of my original mistakes and unnecessary runes. Just a few gulorelit characters can complete all the functions of the sword in the past. Some functions are actually common, and there is no need to engrave a separate spell for it."

Having said that, even if the runes cannot be simplified, the boy will not be willing to erase the inscription that symbolizes the friendship between the two.

Leon listened, nodded, and sat aside to wait patiently.

Originally, he came here to ask Laura to help enchant the sword, but when he entered the tower and saw that the wizard lady was so focused on helping him with the "magic wand", he was embarrassed to ask again.

If he bothered Laura A-mon for every little thing, he might as well change his name to Nobita Leon.

Thinking that Corvis had experience in making magic, it would not be particularly difficult to engrave a few small spells, the two of them flipped through the book and started working on it with the tools and materials in the workshop.

As the crystal liquid in the reserved groove on the long sword completely cooled, Corvis used the sharp high-temperature cutting cone on the workbench to cut off the excess crystal clusters.

He polished the crystal magic pattern that was integrated with the sword body, and then the boy stretched out his hands, took a deep breath, and drew a seal to try to control it.

The rune sword inlaid with magic gems and ritual magic patterns floated up in an instant.

"Well, it's done." Corvis said, and was secretly surprised by the sensitive response and lightness of the rune sword in the magic perception.

You know, the weight and size of this main thorn long sword are far greater than the "light sword" he made in the past.

Is it because Leon has been draining his magic power every now and then due to special training these days, and both the magic power reserve and mental control power in the body have made great progress?

Or is it because of the learning and use of Gulorelit's magic knowledge, the optimized spells, which made the efficiency of manipulating spells unprecedentedly improved?

Corvis felt that it was both.

He loosened the seal of one hand, and no longer carefully linked the sword head and tail at the same time. Corvis took the scabbard beside him with his left hand.

He put his right hand together, transferred the magic chain to the center of gravity of the blade, and then raised his fingertips.

The rune sword rang lightly, drew a beautiful arc, and flew into the scabbard accurately.

Watching his little magic knight return the sword to the sheath, Leon felt that this unique skill made him look handsome.

"Awesome, no, I have to practice more object manipulation spells tomorrow." Leon said enviously.

He can now use magic to perform some simple telekinesis, such as moving a teacup, but the force is difficult to control, either swaying or using too much force, which is completely incomparable to the accuracy of Corvis's flying sword into the sheath.

This is understandable. In the past, the boy was imprisoned under Pilieno's nose and was not allowed to learn or touch real attack magic, so he could only focus on a few basic spells to achieve the current proficiency.

Corvis smiled helplessly at the master: "Your elemental magic is much more powerful than my little tricks."

"It's different, it's different. Your flying sword technique is a special romance for me." Leon shook his head mysteriously.

He stood up and gestured excitedly: "In the future, you should just not wear the sword on your waist, but carry it directly on your back. When you fight, the enemy will think that the long sword behind you cannot be drawn because of your posture, but as soon as you make a magic sign, the sharp sword will be unsheathed with a whoosh. My God, it's so cool to think about it."

Magic version of sword control, Leon couldn't help but imagine that when Corvis's magic power becomes higher and higher in the future, will there be a day when he fights, he will open his arms and six or seven "flying swords" will instantly unfold behind his back and surround his body.

Well, the style suddenly changed, and the knight became a sword fairy.

"Practice sword control well, and when the materials are sufficient in the future, I will make you a few more flying swords." Leon said earnestly, holding the boy's shoulders and patting him.

He is looking forward to Corvis's cool appearance in the future when he says "sword comes" and all the swords return to their roots.

Seeing Corvis try the light source spell of the friendship sword again, as well as small spells such as heating and ignition, and confirming that there is no problem, the two packed up the borrowed equipment.

Leon went upstairs, said goodbye to Laura in the strong wind, and then left the Mage Tower with Corvis.

In recent days, Laura has rarely summoned thunder bombardment materials. I heard that the production of the magic wand will be completed soon.

Leon couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic wand the big steel ball wrapped by thunder will become in the end.

Back to the main castle to handle daily government affairs with Azerien and others, Leon saw Olivia frowning slightly while helping him sort out documents, and seemed a little absent-minded.

"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?" Leon couldn't help asking.

Olivia heard the concern of her lover, put down the documents, and looked over with her green eyes.

The girl's current proficiency in controlling magic power is not enough, and she usually only activates magic elements to cover up her eye color in public.

In fact, the influence of one's own magic power on the caster's hair color and eye color is a normal phenomenon. If the caster does not use some means to actively eliminate and restore the original color, then the various manifestations of the nature of the magic element do not need to be specially maintained.

But Olivia's physique is too special. Even this kind of magic phenomenon from inside to outside will be suppressed by the chaotic and active high concentration of magic.

"Leon, Miss Treya, she wants to swear allegiance to me and become my knight squire. I don't know if I should accept it." Olivia sighed.

Hearing this, Leon remembered that he almost forgot this.

"Isn't it good? You are her teacher, and as your apprentice, she is just right to be your squire." Leon nodded.

Olivia, who has become a knight, should have at least one squire to help her take care of her equipment and warhorse on a daily basis.

In the past, those chores were either done by her or by the little servants and Corvis at home, but now Corvis has become a real knight, and Lina and the others have become busier and busier.

"But Miss Treya and I are friends, and I feel uncomfortable with the master and servant in the future." Olivia hesitated.

Leon smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't think too much. You see, Corvis and I don't get along well in normal times, don't we? The master-servant relationship in formal occasions doesn't affect my friendship with him.

Besides, you always need a squire to help you, and it's best to have someone you trust. Treya is the daughter of a knight. She knows the daily work of a squire and is definitely competent. She is willing to repay your kindness in this way, which is also a good story."

Olivia listened to the persuasion and looked at Corvis who was tidying up the bookshelf.

The young man heard the conversation and turned to smile at her. He never felt any inequality in status with Leon because he took the initiative to swear the identity of a squire. This is why he was convinced and voluntarily followed him that night.

Olivia turned around, thought about it, and nodded to Leon: "I know, you are right, and if Miss Treya is around, it will be convenient for me to guide her martial arts on a daily basis."

She made up her mind and would give Miss Treya a clear answer later.

"Don't worry about the difference in status. After all, being a squire is also a process that most knights have to go through to get the title. If Miss Treya's martial arts and merits are sufficient in the future, I will not hesitate to canonize her as a female knight of Avalon. At that time, won't you be equal knight partners again?" Leon promised Olivia.

From various perspectives, Leon welcomes Miss Treya, who follows Olivia in martial arts, to become the squire of his lover. Two people of the same gender can save a lot of trouble in daily life.

Moreover, as a traditional Guo Nan, Leon is still narrow-minded in this regard.

If he really changes a male squire to serve as a knight's squire for his wife, he still feels uncomfortable.

Leon believes that he will never be as open-minded as Elifer to Sir Redo in this life.

At this time, the door of the office was pushed open, and Lohak walked in excitedly.

"Leon, you called me?"

"Well, I see you have nothing to do. Pack your camping bag tonight and go out with me tomorrow. Let's go prospecting in the nearby forest." Leon replied.

"Okay." Although he didn't know what kind of mine to prospect, Lohak still nodded in response.

"Prospecting? Go to the forest?"

Olivia looked over, her eyes flashed brightly, as if she smelled a hint of interest.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me. Anyway, Lord Elliver's reply has not been delivered yet. While I have nothing to do now, I want to go around to find an important mineral that can be used for magic and alchemy." Leon explained.

As one of the basic materials for making Neti cards, "Spirit Vein Ore" is also the easiest thing for me to obtain among the five currently scarce materials.

Avalon is located at a node of the earth's spiritual vein, which is a natural condition for the abundance of spiritual vein ore.

Coupled with the huge magical environment of the spiritual field, after thousands of years of nurturing, the magic has penetrated into this area, which should have spiritualized many minerals.

Under such conditions, it should not be difficult to find the vein with the exploration of the "Earth Vein Spirit Lamp".

Leon rolled up the topographic map found in the past office documents of the Avalon Main Castle on the table, and joked to Olivia: "Have a good sleep tonight, and take you out to adventure in the forest tomorrow~"

It's called adventure, but there's actually nothing to risk.

The various zombies wandering around the forest roads controlled by the Faroris family have long been wiped out by the thorn flowers and the armies of various kingdoms.

Leon thinks that this may be the reason why the professional "adventurers" in the previous life game can't find a space to exist in this world.

If there are any monsters that are big enough to threaten the safety of the settlement, the local rulers will organize the army to eliminate the threats in the wild.

Even the scattered knights like Larian who travel around and kill demons rarely find wild monsters that can be called threats these days.

A large-scale organized army is a dimensionality reduction attack on wild beasts and monsters. If they encounter dangers that ordinary armies cannot deal with, then the scattered "adventurer" teams in the game may not be able to deal with them.

The next day, weapons and travel gear were prepared. Considering that they were just wandering around, Leon did not call too many people to accompany him.

Azerien needed to stay to handle official business, so he only brought Corvis, Olivia, Treya, and Lohak and his attendants.

The team carried their bags for a short trip and left Avalon Castle, passing through the town outside the fortress. They didn't let the accompanying guards ride their horses back to the fortress until they stepped onto the forest road. After all, the mineral veins might be located deep in the forest. Riding a horse would not only be inconvenient, but also require carrying a lot of horse feed. It would be easier to walk.

Seeing that the ground vein node of the wizard tower was far enough away and would not be disturbed, Leon took off the ground vein spirit lamp on his waist, turned the wheel on the base of the lantern, and turned on its main function.

Looking at the bright green light blooming from the lantern, Leon found the direction of the ground vein branch and raised his hand to wave at the forest beside the road.

"Let's go."

The group followed the guidance of the spirit lamp and entered the nightmare forest.

Walking in the hazy woodland with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Leon looked around at the people wearing armor and cloaks around him.

Not to mention, it really feels like an adventurer team.

And considering the value of the spirit vein ore, this trip can indeed be considered as a treasure hunt.

But there will definitely be no thrills along the way.
