Chapter 21 Level 4
“Three runes, including a non-universal [Fireball] rune.
Based on the general price of zero-level low-level magic tools at the wizard market stalls, It's worth at least dozens of low-level magic stones."
Ronan secretly evaluated the fireball ring in his hand, and he didn't know about the other intermediate magic ring with double [Protection] runes.
This stuff is too high-end, so you have to go to a professional magic tool shop like Welling Workshop.
"This guy just drank a bottle of potion and may still have it on him"
After picking off the ring, Ronan no longer had any psychological barriers to touching corpses. It may be that the huge harvest outweighed his fear of corpses.
This time he squatted down directly next to the body and groped around with his hands.
Soon there was a harvest - Ronan found a black waist bag with exquisite patterns under the robe on his right side.
I quickly opened it, only to find that there was very little inside.
In addition to a dozen low-level magic stones, there was only a bottle of potion and a round brass badge.
Ronan was a little disappointed.
But it's normal. No wizard would carry all his belongings with him all the time.
Picking up the potion and looking at it, Ronan, who was new to potions, couldn't tell what was inside.
"Go back and find a pharmacy and go in and compare. Then it will become clear."
Put down the potion and pick up the brass badge.
There is a small green owl pattern printed on the surface of the badge.
It looks like an exclusive member badge of an organization or force.
Thinking of this, Ronan's heart suddenly became excited again.
Organized representatives have a backend.
Now that people are dying here, will anyone trace them back in the future?
What should I do if I find myself a "murderer"?
Is it possible that there are accomplices on their way here now?
Hunting, revenge, blood repayment.
The various plots and plots he had seen in movies, TV, news and novels in his previous life began to roll over in his mind uncontrollably.
Ronan couldn't help but shudder slightly, and the sequelae of the previous murder also came back with a vengeance.
He immediately did not dare to stay in this place any longer.
He hurriedly gathered all the valuable things, threw the badge and waist bag back to the body, turned around and left, walking quickly.
Originally, he wanted to go back to the place where the first corpse was and take another look.
Now I have given up this idea and just want to escape as fast as possible.
Ronan didn't dare to go back to his tree house for three days because he was worried that someone would come to his door.
Wandering in the wilderness, sleeping in the open air, and almost stopping all daily activities except meditation.
Three days later.
Ronan returned to his hut with a tired look on his face.
After carefully taking out the key and pushing the door open, he looked around.
In the dark and cramped hut, everything was basically the same as when he left.
The first thing to do is to check in the glove box in the corner.
After seeing that the several [Clean] and [Shining] runes that had been engraved, as well as the magic stones I had saved, were still there and had not been lost.
Ronan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair.
In the past three days, Ronan also sorted things out.
The wizard he killed was also a "murderer" himself.
The place he chose to kill was in the wild close to the depths of the forest. After he saw the killing process, he was eager to silence himself. It was obvious that what he was doing was a shady thing.
This kind of person must act secretly. After death, two corpses are thrown into a dense forest full of wild beasts. The smell of blood attracts carnivores, and they can be "cleaned" in two hours at most.
Except for myself, no one in the world will know what happened in that place that day.
The various worries I had before were indeed a bit unnecessary.
but.
I thought so, but in the next month, Ronan still lived like a frightened bird.
It's as if he's back to the state he was in when he first crossed over.
It wasn't until he took the time to go to the market with the magic stones he had saved, and bought a bottle of low-level concentration potion, that he drank it and was successfully promoted to a fourth-level wizard apprentice, that he slowly settled down.
"Wow!"
On the calm lake, a figure broke out of the water.
He is a slender young man. He has fair skin, lake-blue eyes, and half-length chestnut hair that sticks wetly to his shoulders. He has a masculine and wild beauty.
Ronan pulled out a handful of hair, shook out a lot of water drops, and then walked step by step onto the grass by the lake.
Ronan sat down casually under the green walnut tree and let the breeze dry the water stains on his body.
"Nothing has happened for more than a month... There is a high probability that everything will be fine."
Ronan murmured softly.
Just yesterday, he sneaked back to that place deep in the forest.
It was discovered that the body of the dead wizard had long since disappeared, and the traces of the two battlefields were covered and buried by newly grown weeds.
"Even if there are magical means to trace it, it will probably be very difficult in this case."
Ronan thought, and then took out two rings, one black and one red, from his waist.
It was the two magical rings that were taken off the wizard's body. During this period, Ronan would take them out to play with from time to time.
"With my current mental strength, it is still a bit difficult to activate the two [Protection] runes on the ring at the same time. If I want to be able to do it with ease without affecting the use of other methods, I guess it requires the strength of a sixth-level wizard apprentice."
Ronan judged from this that the wizard's strength was at the level of a sixth-level wizard apprentice, or even a seventh-level wizard.
Such a powerful guy ended up dying in his own hands. Thinking about it, he felt full of luck.
"Underestimating the enemy, being in poor condition, and severely underestimating my combat power eventually led to failure and death."
Ronan reviewed it in his mind and secretly regarded this as a typical negative case to alert himself from time to time.
Ronan is also familiar with the other magical tool enchanted with [Fireball].
This thing is really easy to use. It only requires simple guidance of mental power to activate a fireball. The power is about the same as normal spell casting, but the release speed is much faster.
After one guidance, the cooling time is almost twenty seconds. It feels like it can only be used two or three times in a battle.
Ronan also understood the other two low-level runes on the ring. They were non-universal runes called [Acceleration]. Their effect was to slightly increase the speed at which the wizard cast spells and recited spells.
It's very useful at the low-level apprentice level, but becomes useless at higher levels.
Ronan didn't dare to wear the two magical rings, but he always carried them with him in case of emergency.
After carefully putting the ring back into his pocket, Ronan stood up, shook himself, and put on his robe.
It's very comfortable to wear without lining, especially after taking a shower.
It's just that the only two robes Ronan owned were a bit worn out, and this one even had several holes in it. If he ran, the wind would blow into the robe.
"Gotta buy a new one"
Ronan touched the holes in the robe, thought about it, and decided, "It's better to just buy a robe."
Ronan now has some savings.
He earned more than a month of rune sealing magic stones, which he had accumulated before, plus what he had plucked from the pockets of dead wizards. After deducting the money he spent to buy a bottle of low-level concentration potion, he still has more than thirty low-level magic stones on hand. Magic stone.
The most common wizard robe can be bought for only a dozen low-level magic stones. If it is second-hand, it is even cheaper.
It's a pity that Ronan doesn't have much money. If he had sufficient funds, he would definitely consider buying a set of magical leather armor.
Over the past month, his proficiency in [Ascetic Body Training] has increased a lot, and his physical fitness has also improved greatly. If he can change to a leather armor, he can give full play to his physical advantages.
But having a [Protective] ring... is not really needed.
Ronan walked towards the forest.
While walking, he easily called up his character panel.
