Richard recalled that in a paid course he had taken a few days ago, the instructor had said that generally there would be an explanatory magic circle somewhere on the surface of witchcraft props.
Sure enough, after a careful search, Richard found a magic circle similar to a "★" shape and flickering at the thinner end of the short staff. It should be the explanation magic circle.
After Richard probed his mental power into the explanation array, he learned the name and purpose of the short staff.
It turns out that this short staff is called the Charred Wood Scepter: an intermediate witchcraft item. If the holder uses the Burning Hands, the power of the witchcraft will be increased by 15%. At the same time, the item solidifies the Burning Hands, a zero-level witchcraft, and needs to be charged for 24 hours before it can be used again.
Suddenly, Richard was overjoyed. Although this was not the first time he saw witchcraft props, it was the first time he owned witchcraft props. He observed them over and over again and felt that he couldn't let them go!
Unfortunately, the charred wooden staff did not enhance the power of a certain dark magic, but the power of the fire magic, Burning Hands, which reduced Richard's excitement a little!
Because Richard's own affinity for fire element is only low, so if he has to practice the zero-level fire magic Burning Hands again because of this short staff, it will be completely unprofitable.
The body of the charred wooden short staff was engraved with various symbols, forming a mysterious pattern. I guess this should be the magic circle engraved by the inscription technique!
This made Richard quite interested, but now there was no time for Richard to study it. He had to quickly clean up the battlefield and destroy the corpses!
Richard quickly searched Seymour's body and actually took out an old parchment scroll from Seymour's arms!
"Hey, this guy really didn't lie to me!"
There are also two bottles of potions, a small bag of magic stones and some other miscellaneous spellcasting materials.
Seeing this, Richard couldn't help but be overjoyed. This harvest was not only enough to make up for the loss of all the alchemical bombs and potions, but there would also be some left over.
Sure enough, a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth!
Although this fierce battle was thrilling, it not only honed Richard's practical experience, but also brought him great gains!
"If the charred wooden short staff can be sold, it is estimated to be worth a lot of money. I don't know how many magic stones it can be sold for. If it is powerful, I don't have to wait until the semi-annual assessment, but can directly buy the prophet potion from Teacher Ceres to quickly increase my total mental strength.
By that time, my mental strength will be able to increase by two to three standard units again, and then the entire battle rhythm will be completely different!"
Hiss! A sharp pain came from his head, interrupting Richard's thoughts!
This tingling pain should be the aftereffect of taking the primary mental power recovery potion.
When buying the potion, the brown-haired girl reminded me that after taking this potion, I would have a headache for about half a day, and I could not restore my mental strength by taking mental strength recovery potions again during this period.
However, Richard, who had experience with the side effects of the Swiftness Potion, compared the two and found that the side effects of the Mental Power Recovery Potion were actually nothing.
Enduring the headache, Richard began to clean up the battlefield.
Looking at the blood-stained, miserable Seymour, Richard sighed and threw three tubes of Dancing Fire Stars directly at his body. Under the high temperature burning, it emitted bursts of peculiar smell and quickly turned into charcoal!
Richard thought about it, shoveled up the charcoal and threw it into the swamp. In less than an hour, the charcoal would be eaten up by the ferocious fish and shrimp in the swamp, which would be considered to destroy the body and eliminate all traces!
After everything was done, Richard immediately gave up the task of cleaning up the sharp-toothed crocodiles and quickly returned to the school's headquarters.
After returning to his dormitory in one breath, Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then began to carefully examine the trophies.
After a long while, Richard stood up and paced around the room with his hands folded. "If I sell this charred wooden staff directly in the school's trading area, will it arouse suspicion from some people with ulterior motives?
If I don't sell it, will this intermediate witchcraft item also be tracked by others?"
With these two questions, Richard thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to ask Senior Meiluo first, and if it doesn't work, he will go directly to Teacher Ceres.
Then, Richard picked up the old parchment scroll, opened it gently, and found that he could not understand a single word!
It seems to be some kind of ancient language, which is also Richard's weakness!
So far, Richard has not had time to systematically learn it. He has not learned any of the Hutt, Hebrew and Akkadian languages commonly used by ancient wizards!
It seems that he should either ask Teacher Ceres for this parchment scroll, or take his time and wait until he has learned the corresponding ancient language.
There are also these two bottles of potion, one is green, and there seems to be some flowers suspended in the liquid, and the other is orange, and the liquid is translucent, which looks very attractive.
Richard could vaguely make out the green bottle, which seemed to be a sleeping potion. This was a potion that could quickly restore 80% of one's mental strength during sleep. It was expensive, costing about twenty magic stones per bottle.
But its disadvantage is also obvious, that is, after drinking it, the drinker will fall into a deep sleep and will wake up naturally after about half an hour!
Therefore, sleeping potions cannot be consumed during combat.
He didn't know what the other bottle was, so he had to go to the trading area and ask the twin sisters.
Afterwards, Richard reviewed his shortcomings throughout the battle. There were mainly two problems. One was the lack of combat experience and he made many mistakes. The other was that his total mental strength was still insufficient!
After thinking about it, Richard immediately decided to quickly improve Rodrigo's meditation method to the mastery level through inspiration.
After more than a month of meditation practice, the rapid growth of mental power brought by the skilled level of meditation has gradually declined.
[I discovered that the host is practicing Rodrigo's Meditation Method. Do you consume energy to gain inspiration for practicing Rodrigo's Meditation Method? ]
The prompt text appears before your eyes.
Richard thought about it carefully. Considering that Rodrigo's meditation method had reached 76% proficiency, and he was planning to move the meditation method to the mastery level, he chose to drag the slider to 1341 this time and selected "Yes!"
In an instant, Richard's soul wandered into a dream. This time the dream was in the center of a spacious hall. Richard possessed the body of a bald man who was sitting cross-legged and began to meditate.
With the blessing of his inspirational state, Richard tried again and again, trying to increase the proportion of his mental power participating in the cycle of all seven runes!
After thousands of attempts, Richard finally increased the proportion of his mental power involved in the big cycle from the original 23% to 24%, and then gradually to around 31%. The pure mental power in the center also became further condensed and thick because of this process.
After a dizzying moment, Richard returned to his original form!
I checked the panel. Not bad. [Witchcraft]: Rodrigo Meditation (Mastery 11%, Special Effect: Primary Energy-saving Spellcasting, Secret Technique: Secondary Mental Shock)
Hey! Why are there a few more words?
Richard rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. Yes, there was indeed an extra special effect description.
