After a brief period of discomfort, Lynn swiftly cald the restless magic with the surge in his spiritual power.
"071, display my current status," Lynn muttered in his mind, setting a template based on the townsfolk and wizards he had encountered as a standard.
It helped recreate his condition to a certain extent.
[Agreent Target: Lynn
Physical Activity: High
Magic Scale: 92
Spiritual Power Rating: Three-ring wizard
Spell Rank: [Fireball], [Fla Touch], [Icy Blade], [Minor-Magic Shield], [High-Temperature Steam Kill], [Liquid Nitrogen - Icy Domain], [Magic Barrier], [Minor-Deflection Field]...
Fourth Ring: [Deflection Field], [Spatial Vibrations], [Advanced Projection Art].]
Each magic scale was equivalent to a standard magic stone, capable of releasing one complete ring of magic.
Soone like Peirce, a wizard apprentice, had a magic scale of four, while a formal wizard usually operated with over ten scales of magic.
However, the magic used in spells wasn't fixed. Using pre-prepared materials or employing alchemical tools significantly reduced magic consumption. That's why even apprentice wizards could cast spells consecutively.
For instance, to employ [Liquid Nitrogen - Icy Domain], covering a radius of about three ters, theoretically required twelve magic scales.
As the air itself was rich in nitrogen, Lynn didn't need to spend magic to mimic the elent, reducing consumption to around five scales.
Moreover, in an overloaded state, most of the computational power and magic during casting were borne by the brain interface, allowing Lynn to utilize it even before becoming a formal wizard.
After all, this spell was derived from a first-ring magic, [Fla Touch], making it relatively easy to learn.
Aside from enhancing his magic, amidst tinkering with internal combustion engines and gunpowder technology, Lynn hadn't neglected his magical studies. Especially the book he obtained from Aurora, "Visual Manipulation and Magical Illusions," had beco nearly worn out from his constant perusal.
Within this to of illusionary magic, various spells manipulating sight were recorded. What intrigued Lynn most were the legendary seven-ring spell, "True Reflection," and its subsidiary four-ring spell, "Advanced Projection Art"!
The forr was beyond his current capabilities and magical reserves, so his focus shifted to mastering "Advanced Projection Art."
With the enhancent from the magic network, he could barely learn and wield a four-ring spell, albeit at a considerable cost of magic.
The operation of "Advanced Projection Art" resembled the projection used by the Faceless in the magical realm but with increased complexity, involving the manipulation of light and requiring a specific dium.
For instance, Aurora, the legendary witch, manipulated magic effortlessly. She once set up a spell on his forehead with a re kiss, using an ordinary glass mirror as a dium for the projection, subtly releasing the spell without detection.
Contemplating the application of this four-ring spell, Lynn glanced towards the direction of the Misty Sea.
After Monday, fleets arriving at Iyeta Harbor from the outside world soon ca.
Unlike previous years, only an empty shell of the Mist enveloped the sea this ti. It was undoubtedly the most perilous ti for the entire harbor city. Lynn hoped nothing untoward would occur...
Five days after Monday, several rchant ships adorned with red flags slowly sailed into Iyeta's harbor. Dozens of dockworkers unloaded bags of ores, precious herbs, leather, and other goods, piling them up on the docks.
A middle-aged man in a deep blue robe, sporting a goatee, descended from the deck and warmly greeted, "Long ti no see, Lord Orlando..."
"It has indeed been a while." Orlando extended his hand and gave the man's sturdy arm a pat, responding with a smile. Then, he hurriedly introduced Lynn. "This is Cody, one of Mr. William's most trusted confidants!"
Lynn nodded. William was one of the three spokespersons Herlram sought outside, akin to La Loude, responsible for relaying external information and transporting scarce materials.
"And this one is..." Orlando turned to Cody, intending to praise Lynn, but was stopped by Lynn's gesture.
"Just call Lynn!"
"Lynn, my lord!" Cody greeted respectfully, showing no hint of disdain despite Lynn's youthful appearance. Anyone standing beside Orlando was obviously a wizard, soone not to be offended.
"What goods have you brought this ti..." Lynn glanced at the workers transporting the goods and inquired.
"Mostly copper and silver ores, alongside so magical beast leather and rare magical herb materials..." Cody answered respectfully.
Lynn nodded. Despite nurous mines in the wizard lands, after over three hundred years of excavation, mining had beco increasingly difficult, making copper, silver, and goldoften used as daily currencyextrely scarce.
However, from today onwards, even iron ore might beco scarce due to its insufficient supply.
While great wizards could manipulate tal elents using magic, fundantally, these remained magical and couldn't replace actual ores.
"Additionally, Lord William found a miraculous magnetite that can lift iron tools out of thin air, much like magic." Cody presented a palm-sized [Magnetic Stone] to Lynn, trying to please the wizards.
He had prepared two, intending to give the other one to Master Herlram.
"Magnetic ore?" Lynn imdiately showed interest, taking it in his hand.
"Have you seen sothing like this before, my lord?" Cody's expression shifted slightly. This novel trinket was specially prepared to impress the wizards.
Lynn, restraining the impulse to imdiately fashion a compass, continued his questioning. "Cody, was your voyage smooth this ti? How's William doing lately? Any movent from the clergy?"
