Celestial Mage

Chapter 40 The Instructor's Return Gift

Although worried in his heart, Rosen did not show the slightest abnormality on the surface as a person who had resurrected his life.

Serve when it is time to serve, and attend class when it is time to attend class, as if nothing happened.

At dusk, the dignified Serrandis was about to start class as usual.

"Mentor, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Serendis looked puzzled.

Rosen took out a bulging wallet from his pocket, and with a light lift of his hand, the wallet slowly floated towards Serrandis.

"I've made some money selling paintings these days, and according to the agreement, half of the income will be yours."

Although it is half, there are as many as 70 crowns, which is a huge income even for mages.

Serrandis took the wallet and weighed it lightly, a satisfied smile appeared on his serious face.

"Very good, just relieved the teacher's poverty."

She carefully put away the wallet, and then said: "In view of your outstanding performance, I will also give you a gift in return."

She got up and walked towards the small door next to the bed, without avoiding Rosen's probing eyes, pushed the small door open and walked in, and then left the small door open.

The small room behind the door is very small, less than 4 square meters, and is in the shape of a long strip. Only part of it can be seen through the small door.

Rosen saw a pair of black leather pants hanging on the wall inside the door, and a long wooden table next to it. There were some strangely shaped tools on the table, which seemed to be used for making magical instruments.

After a few glances, Serendis came out from the inside of the small room, holding a delicate long wooden box in his hand.

When she sat back in the chair again, the box was handed to Rosen.

Seeing Rosen's curious face, Serendis smiled and said: "You might as well open it now."

Rosen immediately pulled the fixed belt buckle, opened the cover and looked, and found a long silver-gray metal rod lying inside, about 50 centimeters long and half a centimeter thick.

Complicated inscriptions are drawn on the body of the stick, and a crescent-shaped decoration like waxy jadeite is inlaid at one end, and the crescent moon also has beautiful patterns.

"This is?"

He already recognized something in his mind, but he couldn't be sure.

"Pick it up and have a look."

Rosen stretched out his hand to pick up the stick, and the moment his hand grasped the stick, the skin on his hand felt a slight numbness, unlike the numbness of an electric shock, just a simple high-frequency vibration.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that the magic power in his body seemed to find something of the same origin, and it flowed into the stick without hindrance.

The mana followed the metal rod and flowed into the crescent moon at the tip, and then the bright silver crescent moon shimmered red and yellow.

It was clearly a new moon, but because of the blessing of Lawson's sun polar mana, it looked like the sun in a partial eclipse.

At the same time, Rosen felt that his mana had a point of attachment, becoming more cohesive and more handy.

He asked in surprise, "Teacher, is this a staff?"

As far as he knew, staffs were very expensive, and ordinary mages couldn't afford them.

Cyrus didn't have one, and could only make up for it with an ordinary stick made of old tree roots all day long.

Serendis smiled and said, "That's right, it's called the Crescent Rod. The body of the rod is made of Mithril alloy, and the crescent moon on the top of the rod is a medium-quality moonstone."

"Holding it to cast spells can greatly reduce the loss of mana when it is transmitted in the air. At the same time, your mana strength will also increase slightly, and the power of spells will naturally increase."

Rosen was startled.

Mithril is a precious guide metal, which is associated with silver mines. For every 100 grams of pure silver mined, only 5 grams of Mithril can be obtained.

As for the moonstone, although it is of medium quality, it is also very rare.Not to mention the craftsmanship involved in turning these two precious materials into a staff.

In short, this staff is very expensive. If it is sold for money, it can be sold for at least 200 crowns.

"Teacher, this is really too precious."

When others were apprentices, they would pay a large amount of tuition fees, but when he came to him, he earned a good staff.

This is cheap.

Serrandis smiled and waved his hand.

"The staff is spiritual. If you are not qualified, it will not respond to you. Now that it has responded to you, it is recognizing your identity as the master."

"So, it's yours."

Even so, Rosen was very grateful and got up to salute solemnly.

At the same time, Rosen felt a stream of information flash through his mind.

""Rosen's Magical Artifact Library" has been opened. With this library, you can check the magic weapon you own at any time, or try to observe the attributes of the target magic weapon."

With a thought in his heart, Rosen immediately summoned the desktop and saw a brand new icon in the shape of a treasure chest.

After opening, there is only one page inside, which is the relevant information of the Crescent Rod

Crescent Rod
Special effect 20: When casting a spell, the loss of mana conduction is greatly reduced, at least [-]% of mana consumption can be saved.

Special effect 5: Mana strength is increased by an additional [-]%.

(Note: A precious gift from the mentor Serrandis).

Rosen was overjoyed: "It's really a good thing!"

Especially the first special effect, which is almost equivalent to a direct increase of mana by [-]%.

However, there are pros and cons.

Mana is conducted through Mithril, although the loss is greatly reduced compared to conduction in the air, but the location where the spell is generated becomes very obvious, and it is easy to be targeted by the opponent.

Of course, for the current Rosen, the benefits definitely far outweigh the disadvantages.

At this time, Serrandis' voice came from beside his ear.

"Okay, time is running out, let's start class officially."

After Rosen sat upright, she began to give lectures.

"There are two things in today's course. First, the special nature of mana. Second, several classic spell structures, such as primary focus, weak spell constant, Tafka trigger, etc."

Lawson's eyes brightened: "It's another big pot of dry goods."

He immediately let go of all the distracting thoughts in his mind, cheered up and started to attend the class.

Time flies when you focus.

In the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

When Rosen couldn't get enough of what he heard, Serrandis took out his newly bought silver pocket watch and checked the time.

"This course has a lot of content and high difficulty. If you can't master it for a while, don't worry, take your time."

Seeing that Rosen was still thinking, she didn't wait patiently like before.

"That's the end of today's lesson. I'm tired, so go and rest too."

"Yes, teacher."

Rosen immediately stood up and saluted, then turned and left the second floor.

As he walked down the wooden stairs, a thought flashed through his mind.

"The instructor seems to be a little anxious today. Could it be that she is going out at night?"

"Should I remind her to be careful?"

"Heh, since the instructor has gone out to investigate in person, she must know everything I know, and she knows everything I don't know. Why should I talk too much?"

Thinking of this, Rosen couldn't help but ask himself again.

"What would I do if my mentor was wrongly accused of being a murderer?"

It is definitely not easy to frame someone who is an official middle-level mage.

If he got involved, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

But to say that I don't care about it is really against my will.

After thinking about it, Rosen still couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

While lying on the small bed, he was still thinking a lot, and had to force his skills to enter the state of meditation.

After the meditation was over, the thoughts became more and more boiling, and the power in the bottom of my heart became more and more obvious, as if something was about to break through the ground.

I can't sleep anymore.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard the sound of the window opening again.

Strangely, he was relieved instead, and a string that was tense in his heart was also loosened.

"Forget it, let's take a step at a time. Who knows what the truth is?"

Thinking of this, Rosen closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

However, the changes in the world always exceeded expectations. About ten minutes later, Rosen suddenly heard an angry roar from the street outside.

"Murderer, don't run!"

The sound is so loud that it is like thunder, so that the content can still be heard clearly even from a long distance.

"It's uncle's voice."

"Could it be that the mentor was discovered?"

More noise came, including footsteps, shouting, roaring, and even the sound of weapons colliding, and many people even ran past the door of Serendis' hut holding torches.

It seemed that the entire city south of the city had been awakened.

A trace of worry flashed across Rosen's heart.

"There's so much movement, the instructor won't be caught, right?"

"How to do?"

"No, I have to check the situation."

Rosen got up from the bed, quickly put on his clothes, took his staff, and a bag of iron balls and ran out.

"I have also learned a lot, and I can't keep my head buried in spells. After all, there is no ideal land in the world."
