Chapter 1052: Sponsorship
Ashhand gently knocked a red door floating over a platform, which quickly opened. A flash of bright light later, we found ourselves in the middle of blue skies, moving through the floating platform towards a large castle in the middle of a small, floating island.
"Incredible!" I said.
And I was being honest there, I couldn\'t stop being amazed by these things.
Everyone else was also rather surprised, even though we\'ve gone to Cloudia already, it was pretty insane that this place existed in that tower we always saw in the background of the city.
"Now, let\'s go, don\'t distract yourself too much, hoho…"
Ashhand led us to his office, where we found a large pile of rewards for us.
"These are Grimoires, Magic Elixirs, Materials of all kinds, and Magic Accessories. There is also some equipment here, wands and rings, take everything for all of you," he said with open arms.
"Thank you so much, master! You\'re so generous!" I said happily.
Most of the items here weren\'t higher than B Grade though, only a few A Grade, and those were just the Magic Elixirs.
I think I could make better gear than this on my own, but even then, free stuff is still free stuff.
And above all, there were some valuable items, such as Skill Books and Magic Grimoires!
"All of you get to choose two Skill Books and two Magic Grimoires, make sure to choose them based on your specializations," he said.
"Yes master~!" we all happily nodded.
If he hadn\'t been so openly shameless and greedy, I might have felt a bit bad about taking this from him.
But right now? I don\'t really think so…
"There are so many Skill Books and Magic Grimoires, master! How could we possibly choose so quickly?" I wondered, looking at the things with a dreamy expression.
"Well, based on your specializations," he said. "For example, Elizabeth, you specialize on Light and Life magic, right? So choose something similar Magic Grimoires, to further expand on your specializations. As for Skill Books, they\'re more limited. There\'s mostly the Mana Veins, Mana Crystal Core, Mana Absorption, Mana Battery, and several other Skills that are always very useful.
You can only pick two, so depending on if you have enough mana, lack the ability to control it well, or you can spare some to make your spells even stronger, pick what you need."
"So generous, thank you~" I smiled, looking at the Magic Grimoires and Skill Books.
We spent some good thirty minutes choosing what we wanted, our master was nice enough to wait for us to decide. And as he said, all the Skill Books were made specifically for magicians to aid them in either the ability to regenerate Mana, to gain more maximum Mana over time, to enhance their Mana Manipulation, to improve their Spell Power and decrease Mana cost, and so on.
I wasn\'t in a need for Mana as desperately as magicians, my abilities themselves were very cheat-like, as I could easily expand my domain to recover Mana at insane and incredible speeds, and do the same for my friends as well, as long as they\'re within range.
So? What did I pick? Well, some rather weird, very expensive to use Skills not many magicians ever chose because they cost a lot of Mana.
They were the [Double Cast] and the [Mana Overload] Skill Books!
As for the Grimoires, I wanted to specialize more on my Light Attribute, as I haven\'t tapped into it completely, also learning pure Life magic without it being connected to Nature was interesting.
So I choose the [Grimoire for Apprentice Light Magician Users] and the [Grimoire for Nursing Magicians] which both dealt with Light and Life Spells.
Apparently they come with both information about how to conjure the magic and also the various explanations, their origins, and more.
The magic circles come neatly drawn, with each rune needed, so by simply copying them as I cast magic, I can conjure magic even if its not engraved inside my Internal Magic Circle!
Grimoires also work like equipment too, by holding it I can rapidly conjure the spells I need. Acorn does this with his own Grimoires.
However, the point of this is not to use it as a tool, but to memorize all the spells so I can use them without a Grimoire.
My friends also picked their own skill books and grimoires, which were vastly different than mine.
"I see, I see, all of you chose rather good picks," nodded the Wizard. "Especially Elizabeth! Indeed, your Mana Pool, I can sense it from here, is very vast! You\'re one of the rarer cases of talented magicians born with a very big Mana Pool, have you been cultivating it since you were young, Elizabeth?"
"Yes master! My family always put big emphasis on increasing my Mana Pool, as it would benefit me once I grew up. I started my training at the age of two, with the help of my stepfather," I said with a charming smile.
"Oho! I see, very smart man! I would love to meet him one day. He might be a strong wizard?" he wondered.
"Well, stepfather… passed away years ago, when he went to defend our town," I sighed. "But thank you, he was indeed a good man!"
"O-Oh, I see, well, that\'s too bad. I am sure he\'s proud of you, Elizabeth," Ashhand gently gave me a head pat. But I could notice his perverted eyes glaring at my breasts all the time.
Wow, disgusting…
I mean, the persona I am taking right now is a girl at her seventies, and this old man\'s lusting for such a girl.
I\'m glad I\'m robbing him now.
I gently smiled and then slowly walked away from him and gathered with my friends again, quickly deciding to use our Skill Books before anything else, while storing the grimoires in our inventories, and anything else we could rob this perverted and greedy man. Explore more at m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net
