Chapter Seven: Magical Notes

In the possession of the late wizard, Adi found a book of magic notes and two magical gemstones. As for the wand, since it had already been broken into two pieces, this kind-hearted young man decided to let it continue to accompany its former owner

The notes of a wizard generally not only record methods for training magical power but also contain some special insights and the most precious spells. Some wizards even choose to jot down trivial matters, such as having a delightful encounter with a noblewoman on a particularly pleasant day. Wizards are not only respected but are also mostly single. For men who meet these two criteria, as long as they do not have peculiar preferences, it is quite easy for them to enjoy a reputation for being charming in their private lives.

Among these adventurers, there is also a wizard. It is important to note that wizards are a rare profession on the Ice Continent, and many commoners may never encounter one in their lifetime. Often, a prosperous family will go to great lengths to establish a connection with a wizard to demonstrate that they are not merely vulgar upstarts. Furthermore, in many countries, to show respect for wizards, laws have been enacted stating that nobles without fiefs must pay their respects upon encountering a wizard. A prosperous family will often strive to associate themselves with a wizard to prove their status and avoid being seen as lowly nouveau riche. Additionally, in many nations, laws have been established to ensure that nobles without fiefs must show deference when meeting a wizard.

He tested a portion of the functions of the six operational mechanical warriors before finally putting them all away. Although the energy of these six was also nearing depletion, it should not be a problem for short-term operation. It goes without saying what Adi intended to use them for

When he grew up, he also understood why the great Huron wizard did not take him as an apprentice, and gradually abandoned this effort that yielded no returns

Now I no longer have to worry about how to take these mechanical warriors away. A single mechanical warrior that can move freely and be commanded at will is worth more than ten magical lightsabers! I just wonder which wealthy magnate can afford the gold.

To become a magician, one must possess an exceptionally strong magical talent; otherwise, even summoning magical elements would be impossible, let alone practicing magic. Whether in childhood or now during his teenage years, Adi has excelled in every aspect, yet his magical talent remains ordinary. Thus, when he realized that he would never be able to become a magician, he had no choice but to bury this regret deep within his heart. In the past two years, Adi has nearly forgotten these childhood memories.

There are forty-eight mechanical warriors stored in this warehouse, of which forty-two are either completely out of energy due to age or have sustained some degree of damage, rendering them unable to start. Nevertheless, even so, the gains from this adventure are sufficient for Adi to acquire wealth rivaling that of nations, allowing him to live a life of considerable luxury no matter which country he escapes to

Just now, focused on searching for treasure, Adi did not pay attention to these corpses that had been dead for many years and were now animated by necromantic magic. However, at this moment, he was in a great mood and could not help but carefully examine these people who had fallen into eternal slumber.

Adi leisurely went to activate the second mechanical warrior, but encountered a slight mishap. Aside from the recall and release commands, this relatively high-profile mechanical warrior refused to respond to any of his orders. Frustrated, Adi kicked it a few times, and only then did he think to check its data, only to be infuriated to see that the energy level was nearing zero.

The sleeveless leather armor placed inside the bronze chest was likely reserved for the commander of a small team. Wearing it felt quite warm, and Adi had no intention of taking it off. After confirming that there were no other valuable items in this storeroom, Adi cautiously exited. The fate of the previous adventuring team served as a constant reminder for him to avoid making mistakes, lest he risk losing his life after obtaining such a substantial reward.

Once again passing through the long corridor, Adi returned to the hall he had just left. He looked at the zombies he had slain and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "If only you had a bit more luck, you could have received the same reward as I did. Although I would never share even a little with you, I am willing to pray that you rest in peace underground, never to be disturbed from that eternal slumber."

The magic notebook that Adi found likely belonged to a person who was very reserved and succinct. Apart from the content related to magic, everything in the notebook appears remarkably clean. From the records in this magic notebook, it is evident that the deceased magician, www.hetushu.comcom, was a powerful figure, and notably a master of fire magic. The notebook contains not only training methods for more than three types of fire magic but also dozens of spells.

The Landak family also maintained a close relationship with a powerful sorcerer named Huron. Due to the sorcerer's lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary humans, it is common for several generations of a family to be closely associated with the sorcerer's apprentices. Thus, the mysterious sorcerer Huron also became the godfather of Adi

Nevertheless, from this great wizard who visited the Landak family only once every three to five years, Adi learned some basic magical knowledge and managed to extract a simple method for exercising his fire magic. At that time, Adi earnestly promised that he would work ten times harder than others, but after seven or eight years of effort, he could only perform a harmless little fire trick to impress girls, falling far short of the level of a qualified magic apprentice.

Having obtained the notes of a deceased wizard, Adi knew that it would be difficult to learn the secrets of magic from them, yet he could not resist his curiosity and opened the wizard's manuscript

Although many years have passed, the weapons and certain equipment of these adventurers are still usable, especially since many of them carry gold coins. It is worth noting that Adi escaped from the imperial capital with almost no money. Even though those mechanical warriors are invaluable, Adi will still be a pauper for a long time before he can part with them. These gains bring considerable comfort to the young man.

Although this is merely a gesture slightly more respectful than rolling one's eyes, it nonetheless indicates the level of respect afforded to the magician

When he was still a child, every time the great wizard Huron appeared, he would earnestly plead with him to teach him the most powerful magic. However, the great wizard Huron would always smile and say: "You are a clever child, but you lack any magical talent. Even if you follow me for decades, you can only be a magic apprentice! You will never become a true wizard."

He tucked the magical contract card back into the pocket of the leather armor lining, and with a smile, Adi donned the leather armor, a precious relic that only the commanders of the ancient Great Stone Dynasty were qualified to wear

Without life, everything else loses its value; this is one of Adi's life maxims
