Half-elf Notebook

Chapter 193 The Best Sword in the House

"Magic Book Page Academy?"

Rick repeated the name of the academy that Ina mentioned to him in confusion. For a moment, he couldn't remember where the academy was located or what its reputation was.

But judging from the fact that it had no nickname, it was probably not the kind of academy that he knew had direct ties with the military.

He placed the cheese and meat sauce noodles on the table, sat back on the seat with the thin windbreaker hanging on it, and spoke curiously:

"Where is it?"

"The neighboring province of Pamelin."

Ina poured herself a bowl of onion soup, broke off a small piece of bread, dipped it in the soup, and stuffed it into her mouth while answering vaguely:

"Ms. Aixia said it's pretty good there."

"The Province of Pamelin... Although it's not the Province of Xibelo where the capital is located, it's at least deeper into the center of the kingdom than here, and it's also safer..."

Rick muttered a few words in a low voice, without any objection:

"It's your right to decide where to go. Ina, I'm surprised that you can accept my proposal so easily."

He grabbed a small wooden barrel by the handle and poured himself a full glass of foaming amber beer.

"Besides, it's always better to have someone accompany you than to be alone."

"The reputation of the Berleman Chamber of Commerce is pretty good. From what you said, Miss Aixia doesn't seem like a bad person."

Rick met Aixia in the guild's magic testing hall with Ina.

He had heard this name even earlier than the half-elf girl.

Berleman is the most famous and largest joint chamber of commerce in three provinces, including Cyril and Pameline.

He took on some commissions from the Berleman Chamber of Commerce.

And naturally, either accidentally or actively, I have heard some relevant news about them.

The current president of the Berleman Chamber of Commerce, the only child of Kent Berleman, Aishia Berleman.

Rick had not spoken to her, so he did not dare to jump to conclusion.

But he didn't quite believe that the other party didn't look like a businessman at all.

However, despite his reservations, he still believed in Ina's judgment of people.

He scooped up a plate of noodles, rolled up the noodles wrapped in brown cheese and meat sauce with a silver fork, and then, as if remembering something, put it back on the plate.

Then, he took out a sheathed sword from the space ring and handed it to Ina.

"By the way, I'll give you this first. Your birthday is in a few days, so this can be considered a farewell gift. I may have to go to the city wall to help with my shifts in the next few days, so it would be bad if I missed it."

It was a long sword that was extremely exquisite overall. The wooden scabbard was "wrapped" with thin sheets of unknown alloy, and the carvings showed a pattern of intertwined red spider lilies and roses.

The alloy and wood fit together perfectly, as if they were burned with flames and painted with fine paint.

The sword hilt was covered with complicated, profound runes and seemingly random, but actually neatly organized, magic array carvings. Even though Jingmo had not yet been activated, there was still a faint flow of light on it.

Ina could understand most of the runes and lines belonging to spells engraved on it.

But when everything was put together and presented in front of her in every detail, the half-elf girl found that she couldn't understand it at all - the type of magic used, the function of the basic structure... she couldn't understand it at all.

She had only seen this kind of situation once, which was when Princess Mera had a sixth-level magic item called "Power of Nature" and a seventh-level magic item called "Twisted Stance".

The only thing that is clear is the source of its energy, the core of its magic circle.

There are two thumb-sized crystals on the sword guard.

One seemed to contain a sea of ​​stars twinkling in the dark night, and the other was so colorful that it seemed to have solidified the northern lights.

But at the same time, the crystal gives people an intuitive feeling of crystal clearness and pure texture, just like every high-quality gem that has been carefully planned and cut by gem craftsmen.

The guard, exposed weight and scabbard are made of the same metal.

Ina deduced that the same was true for the sword.

"Is this... a magical weapon?"

Ina looked at the sword in her hand in astonishment.

And it is obviously not an ordinary magical weapon.

The details that Ina has noticed so far are enough to show that the rank of this item is extraordinary, and it is probably even one level higher than her own.

A silver-grade magical weapon - there is no doubt that it is priceless.

At least, even at the half-elf gathering recommended by Mr. William and attended by Mr. Doyle, she had only had the opportunity to see magical materials of similar level.

Compared to this weapon, the best magic sword in the weapon cabinet is simply a shoddy product.

"I named it 'The Flower of Jue Li'. I don't have much knowledge, and as a weapon, I really can't think of a good name."

Rick gave a positive answer at the right time, and then introduced the details of this magical weapon to Ina:

"Its sword body is made of Omnisteel and about 20% Mithril, a metal commonly used in magical weapons."

"——It can make the items have energy output efficiency several times higher than ordinary magic props and magic weapons, and it is very hard. Even if there is no war breath and magic power attached to it, it can ensure that it will not be damaged by weapons and magic attacks below the gold level."

"In addition, spellcasting can also gain a corresponding amplification effect, ranging from raising the level by one level to 30%. The scope is still that of magicians, that is, magic below the eighth level."

"Only one magic spell is engraved, the seventh-level magic 'Storm Fortress' and the basic energy slash."

"Storm Fortress, can create a barrier composed of powerful wind blades within a range of 2 to 8 meters around the user, which is powerful enough to cut through lower-level silver-level defenses and spells below level , as well as physical attacks."

"It can be used twice in a short period of time, with a 15-minute interval between uses. The maximum number of uses is six. Its greatest advantage is that it can be cast instantly."

"Energy slashing is simpler and purer... it is just to drive the magic power in the magic crystal to chop."

"Its power is roughly equivalent to that of a top-level upper-level silver slash. Within 300 meters, it's as easy for the silver rank and below to defend themselves as cutting into butter. Within 200 meters, it can threaten a mid-level silver rank. At 50 meters or even shorter, an upper-level silver rank would inevitably be seriously injured if it takes it."

"The maximum number of slashes is five, but the consumption can be reduced by adjusting the magic power output of the slashes. Of course, I hope you can treat it as a last resort when life and death are at stake."

Rick paused, then shook his head:

"It's obviously a birthday present for you, but I made it so serious."

Ina nodded blankly at first, but then the white-haired girl seemed to have realized something, her eyes widened and her pupils trembled slightly.

His face was filled with horror, and he looked back and forth between Rick and the sword several times, a little out of control:

"No, this is too valuable... It can't even be described as valuable. You shouldn't give it to me... I don't have the qualifications."

The nervousness and anxiety even made her own voice almost change.

Ohmsteel, how could she not know about it? It was a metal commonly used in magical weapons in alchemy.

But that's definitely not because it's cheap.

On the contrary, due to its outstanding properties and high price, only high-level magic items and magical weapons choose to incorporate them.

Needless to say, Mithril is one of the materials with the best conduction and energy storage effects. Ina has seen its price in the association...

Every gram is equivalent to several times the mass of gold.

The sword weighs at least three pounds.

There are also two magic crystals that are enough to power seventh-level spells and cast spells multiple times instantly - obviously they came from a seventh-level magical beast.

The first thing she thought of was the magical materials of the corresponding level in the half-elf gathering.

According to the price offered by Mr. Dawor, the fur and blood of a sixth-level monster alone would cost more than 3000 gold coins... and this was only the minimum price...

At this moment, Rick rubbed her head familiarly:

"What do you mean by qualified or not? Am I born qualified to be a silver level?"

"Did I give him to you so that you can become someone worthy of him? No, Ina, he is just a birthday present, and I just hope that he can protect you when I am not around."

"Beyond this, there is no other meaning, and there will be no other."

"Besides, not every birthday present is such an expensive item, don't you remember? In the past, they were just small accessories and clothes."

"Otherwise, how can this not-so-rich family survive?"

"But it's not necessary to send such expensive magical weapons..."

Ina muttered quietly.

Rick smiled gently and continued:

"That sounds like something my late mother and wife would say. But, Ina, I didn't intend to give this as your birthday present in the first place."

"If you decide to pursue an ordinary and stable career and become a wife, I will exchange it for a portion of the shares of a famous chamber of commerce and the equivalent of gold coins, gems, etc."

"But since you have chosen a dangerous profession, I should respect your choice and give you support to the best of my ability."

"Don't think too much. Today is a day worth being happy about, even though it's not your actual birthday."

Rick raised his glass.

Ina was stunned at first, but after she reacted, she quickly suppressed her complicated expression, raised a wry smile, and also raised her glass.

With the sound of "bing", the walls of the cups collided, and milk and amber beer sloshed out of the glass that reflected orange and yellow light.
