Chapter 50 Whispering Forest
Chapter 50 Whispering Forest
Sandra Meyer was clearly familiar with the area. After getting out of the car, she led Li Ang straight into a wand shop called Wisdom and Arcane Arts.
The walls inside the shop are covered with all kinds of magic wands, which are of different lengths, materials and emit different elemental fluctuations.
A shop owner wearing gold-rimmed glasses came up to greet them and immediately noticed the family crest on Sandramea's chest as she walked ahead.
The shop owner clearly recognized the family crest, and his tone immediately became obsequious:
"Distinguished guests, what would you like to order?"
"Pick a wand for him," Sandra Meyer said, pointing to Leon.
Upon hearing this, the shop owner immediately pushed up his glasses and stared at Li Ang, scrutinizing him closely.
After a short while, the shop owner finished looking them over, said, "Please wait a moment," and then quickly went into the inner room.
As soon as Li Ang entered, he began to observe the wands in the store.
[Alder Wood Wand: Lv0, requires 1 point of Spirit to bind]
Obsidian Short Staff: Lv0, requires 10 Spirit Points to bind
[Silver Fir Staff: Lv0, requires 5 points of Spirit to bind]
As expected, after a period of binding and upgrading, Li Ang discovered that the higher the level of the facility or equipment, the more mental energy is required for binding, and the higher the requirements for subsequent upgrades.
Therefore, the most cost-effective option for him is to buy the cheapest basic wand and rely on his own cheat codes to upgrade and improve its effects.
At that moment, the shop owner came out from the inner room, holding a black wooden box in his hands.
The shop owner quickly took two steps to stand in front of Li Ang, respectfully opened the black wooden box, and introduced the contents while showing them off:
"This wand comes from Whitewater City and is the masterpiece of wand master Brownie. The wand is made from the body of a level 3 magical beast, the six-headed treant, and a wind-attribute magic core is embedded at the top. Although you are a feng shui master, this wand is absolutely suitable for you."
The shopkeeper's introduction piqued Sandra Mea's interest, and she asked with great interest, "How much does this cost?"
The shop owner's face immediately lit up with barely suppressed joy.
"In reply to you, esteemed guest, this wand costs only 2 gold coins."
"The price isn't too high." Sandramea nodded, then looked at Leon and asked for his opinion.
Clearly, if Li Ang is also satisfied, she is prepared to buy the wand.
Leon was secretly astonished by the price, then his gaze fell on a rather plain-looking magic wand.
It is about the thickness of an adult's finger and about 25 centimeters long. It is entirely black and looks like it is made of some kind of wood.
【Windhawkwood Wand: Lv0】
[Status: Bindable]
[Binding Cost: 1 Spirit Points]
"This one will do." Li Ang picked up the wand; it felt light in his hand and was quite compatible with his wind attribute.
The shopkeeper offered a somewhat disappointed price: "The Windhawk Wood Wand is only 20 silver coins, but are you really sure you want it? Its effect is quite mediocre; it only slightly reduces mental energy consumption."
Sandra Meya looked at Li Ang with some confusion:
"Li Angqing, you don't need to worry about money. The king is never stingy with his loyal knights."
These words made Li Ang blush a little, after all, he had just been thinking about how to run away in the future.
"This one is fine, I prefer this wand."
Before Sandramea could react, he quickly took out twenty silver coins and handed them to the shopkeeper.
Seeing Li Ang's resolute attitude, she didn't try to persuade him further. She simply nodded and said:
"As long as you're satisfied."
After paying, Li Ang immediately bound the account.
[Binding successful]
[Current effect: Slightly reduces mental energy consumption during spellcasting]
[Lv1 Effect: Increases the power of wind magic by 10%, and reduces the mental energy consumption of casting spells by 1%]
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 Magic Stars in the Spirit World, 5 Spirit Points consumed]
Without hesitation, Li Ang continued to invest 5 points of mental energy to upgrade.
Upgrade successful
【Windhawkwood Wand: Lv1】
[Current effect: Increases the power of wind magic by 10%, reduces mental energy consumption when casting spells by 1%]
[Lv2 Effect: Increases the power of wind magic by 20%, and reduces the mental energy consumption of casting spells by 2%]
[Upgrade Requirements: 2 Magic Stars in the Spirit World, 10 Spirit Points consumed]
This time, Li Ang did not choose to continue upgrading, after all, he was about to explore the Whispering Forest, and he needed to ensure that his mental energy was abundant.
After purchasing the equipment, the two once again took a carriage to the Griffin Airport in the city.
Inside the airport, a huge airship was moored on a platform, with six magnificent griffins tethered to the bow, occasionally letting out loud cries.
This is a large passenger airship on the route to Obsidian City. Whispering Forest is just its first stop. The ticket price is not cheap, costing 20 copper coins per person.
Sandramea once again demonstrated her generosity as a princess. She walked to the ticket window, pointed to herself and Leon, and said, "Two tickets, to Whispering Forest."
Then she pointed to her warhammer and shield, which needed to be transported separately, "and this too, together."
The ticket seller glanced at the exaggerated warhammer and the enormous shield, then announced the price with a blank expression:
"40 copper coins for two people, 20 copper coins for weapons transport, 60 copper coins in total."
Sandra Mea seemed to be used to this treatment. She took out a silver coin from the seemingly inexhaustible money bag and placed it on the counter.
The two boarded the airship, found seats, and waited for it to take off.
As the airship gradually filled up, it slowly took off, with six griffins spreading their giant wings and pulling it towards the northwest.
Li Ang closed his eyes and quickly entered a meditative state to recover the mental energy he had just consumed.
By the time the airship began to descend and the broadcast announced that Whispering Forest Station was approaching, his mental strength had been fully restored with the help of the Acceleration Pocket Watch.
The airship landed smoothly on a platform on the outskirts of the forest. After retrieving the equipment they had entrusted, the two men disembarked together.
Sandra Meyer led the way into the dense forest. Sunlight filtered through the treetops and fell on her, making her look somewhat dazzling, in a physical sense...
She walked at the front of the procession as if it were her right, holding the huge warhammer with just one hand.
With his other hand, he held a kite-shaped shield in front of him, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, looking every bit the experienced vanguard.
Li Ang followed a few steps behind her, holding his newly bought Windhawk Wood Wand in his hand, surveying his surroundings.
"Li Angqing, be careful," Sandra Meya whispered without turning her head, her tone serious. "Although this forest is regularly cleared, some annoying little things just can't be completely eliminated."
"Understood, Your Highness."
Li Ang responded, but his gaze was drawn to a small blue grass next to him that emitted a faint fluorescent glow.
This is a companion plant to the calming flower. Although its medicinal effects are far less than those of the calming flower, it is still an auxiliary material for several sedative medicines.
