The main material for the scepter cos from the ginkgo tree marrow core that was acquired during the journey to White Mountain.
The marrow of ordinary trees is soft and unsuitable for making weapons, but ginkgo trees that have developed sentience are an exception.
This once-in-a-lifeti high-quality material must not be wasted.
Roland did not hesitate in entrusting this task to the Magic Association.
Back in the Magic Empire, the most popular weapons were magic staffs, rods, and scepters.
Which senior mage of the Magic Empire didn’t have so skill in wand-making?
Roland handed over the materials to the Magic Association’s representative in Hansa City and provided the general requirents for the weapon’s performance.
He originally thought he would have to wait for a while, but it was ready in just half a month, and even more surprisingly, Sura personally delivered it.
Sura is a direct disciple of Master Anthony and married a girl from the Anthony Family. He holds a respected position in the Magic Association, and especially since he ca specifically to deliver equipnt to him, Roland could not be indifferent.
Roland personally went to the door to greet Sura.
As soon as he saw Sura, he felt a tremor in his heart.
Roland was sowhat surprised, yet Sura was just as astounded.
"Mr. Sura, you’ve had a breakthrough? Congratulations and well done."
Sura scrutinized Roland carefully, and whatever bit of self-satisfaction he had vanished entirely.
He said softly, "I’ve been studying magic with my teacher for twenty years, breaking through to an official mage is nothing special."
"But you, becoming a transcendent in just a few years and breaking through to Tier Seven, you’re the true genius."
Sura paused for a mont and softly added, "However, Miss Lisa’s talent is just as remarkable."
"Has she had a breakthrough?"
"Not yet, though she is exceptionally gifted, she can only specialize in fire magic and her foundation isn’t solid, she needs continuous practice to improve."
Shortly after the Oden Kingdom campaign, Anthony took Lisa away with the reason "Lisa needs careful honing; studying magic at the Magic Association will be more effective."
Roland did not stop him.
This was Lisa’s chance to beco stronger and surpass herself, and he fully supported it.
Listening to the tone in Sura’s voice, it seems Lisa has indeed progressed rapidly.
The trio who tead up to kill the Old Commander—Roland, Sif—had already broken through to Tier Seven, Lisa was slower but is now fast approaching.
Although he knew Sura had co with the scepter, Roland didn’t rush to ask about it, instead he inquired about Lisa’s training at the Magic Association.
Sura explained with a smile, "Miss Lisa is placed in the Demon Tower library for study, occasionally she cos to spar with , and her rate of improvent is astounding. But I don’t know much about the specifics of her training."
Roland wasn’t concerned with the specifics of Lisa’s training.
Everyone’s path to becoming strong is different and cannot be replicated, as long as Lisa is still improving, that’s all that matters.
Lisa’s exquisite culinary skills were much enjoyed by Anthony, even Sura visited his teacher several tis to join in the sumptuous dinners.
Compared to her magic skills, Lisa might be more suited to being a chef.
This was a thought kept to himself, Sura wouldn’t voice it.
After all, in Sura’s heart, a mage is the supre profession, while a chef is rely an ordinary vocation, saying she’s better suited to be a chef is not a complint.
After so small talk, Sura got straight to the point.
He took out the scepter and handed it to Roland.
Opening the box containing the scepter, a gentle light glead from within.
Roland’s eyes brightened.
It was clear without needing to think that this was a top-quality weapon that could be used for a lifeti.
The highest grade ginkgo marrow core material even t the standards for crafting a divine artifact, only the thods for creating divine artifacts were destroyed during the Second Era and are no longer recorded.
The existing various divine artifacts are relics from the Age of Gods.
When the three Goddesses left the Theia Plane, they could take very little with them and had to leave most of the artifacts behind.
They distributed these artifacts to their loyal followers, entrusting them to guard their descendants.
However, it wasn’t long before these artifacts were scattered across the world, and soon after, their descendants also withdrew from history’s stage.
The three Goddesses certainly wouldn’t rain divine punishnt on their own progeny.
However, as life endures, it naturally gets taken away.
Either by divine punishnt or heavenly retribution.
The annihilative waters of the Sea of Annihilation, suddenly surged from ocean and sky, tore the Theia Plane asunder, and perpetuated the "descendants of gods cannot beco gods" iron law.
The three Goddesses left the Theia Plane with only thirty-six divine artifacts.
The Magic Association naturally lacked the capability to manufacture divine artifacts, but they drew inspiration from the collected artifacts, finding thods to enhance the quality of magic equipnt manufacturing.
Using the cold condensation infusion thod, they crafted several pieces of magical equipnt with performance nearing divine artifact levels, even surpassing so recreational artifacts.
These pieces of magic equipnt were called Magical Divine Artifacts.
The thod for creating Magical Divine Artifacts hadn’t been lost, but it is impossible to achieve in the current Return Day.
The item Sura handed to Roland was neither a divine artifact nor a Magical Divine Artifact, but a kind of...
"Teacher said that the ginkgo tree marrow core with developed sentience doesn’t require much extra processing, only the infusion and attachnt of corresponding magic attributes."
"The ginkgo marrow core has growth potential, and the attributes of this scepter will continuously evolve as your strength breaks through."
So it’s an evolving weapon, right?
Roland’s lips slightly curled.
Habit is powerful; once accustod to a handy weapon, it’s hard to change.
History records several strong individuals whose growth slowed down after changing weapons.
Who has the ti to constantly switch weapons for fun?
A weapon that can grow with you is naturally the best.
Roland took the scepter from the box, amazed by the refinent of the Magic Association’s craftsmanship, he asked softly:
"Does the scepter have a na?"
"Teacher said the right to na it belongs to you." Sura responded calmly.
Roland pretended to fall into thought, and soon asked softly, "Mr. Sura, I’m not good at naming, do you have any suggestions?"
Sura pondered for a mont and then slowly said, "A weapon that can grow is called a Wisdom Weapon by us. Since your weapon is a scepter and also a Wisdom Weapon, I suggest calling it Wisdom Scepter."
Roland was speechless.
Although in the Magic Empire language and Sussex Language, "Wisdom Scepter" and "idiot" are entirely different words with no ambiguity, once translated into his holand language, the situation changes.
In short...
"Forget it, let’s call it the Hidden Moon Staff."
Roland was also being lazy, naming the scepter made from the Hidden Moon ginkgo as Hidden Moon Staff; it was akin to naming a dog Doug.
Sura wanted to critique Roland’s naming ability, but held back.
After briefly explaining the basic attributes and enchantnts of the scepter, he softly reminded:
"Mastering all seven curses is quite challenging, so currently only the basic attributes of Armor Piercing, Silence, and Slow have been added, while Magic Break, Shattering, Dizziness, and Annihilation have not yet been infused."
Roland nodded in understanding.
This is only the version of the Seventh Return Day, so it’s normal for so attributes to remain locked.
Who would’ve thought that even in an otherworld you have to unlock pseudo-divine artifacts in stages; Roland felt a sense of resignation.
After completing the exchange, Sura quickly took his leave.
He didn’t need Roland to arrange accommodations; he had soplace to go here.
With Roland’s permission, the Magic Association could set up an office on the surface and recruit a small number of students from among the youth of Rodinia.
This was part of the collaboration.
The Magic Association has strength and foundation, but lacks people, while Roland happens to have no shortage of people.
This was true mutual benefit.
Just as Roland was dazed from his success, Alina arrived.
Her expression was calm, yet excitent was evident in her eyes.
Under Roland’s questioning gaze, she took a deep breath and, with a trembling voice, said:
"Sothing big has happened in West City, our opportunity has arrived!"
