Talia's people were ready to leave in less than one hour, but Talia was still distributing the coins and equipnt to the players. There were hundreds of players so it took so ti. Jack and the others were still baffled that so many people were trapped inside Euphosine's dinsion. Probably multiple gas were carried out in a month instead of just one, with separate participants for each ga.
While waiting, Jack checked the other loots from Euphosine.
He got the usual coins and mana cores. The coins were not much, but for mana cores, he received quite a sum. Euphosine dropped 4,500 mana cores. This was the highest amount of mana cores that dropped from a single individual.
Aside from coins and mana cores, several rare and super rare equipnt also dropped. One of which was a unique-grade magic staff. He gave the staff to Freddie. The others eyed him with jealousy but otherwise said nothing.
The remaining loots were the most precious ones. Among which were two gemstones, a technique book, and two items that he had previously gotten in the past.
The two gemstones were a unique-grade Ember and a legendary-grade Erald. He had no runestone with the earth elent, so he stored the ember. As for the erald, he took out his Runestone of Marching and feed the legendary-grade erald into it
The runestone only needed 4,900 elental energies to upgrade to the next rank. The legendary-grade Erald supplied 30,000 elental energies. The runestone of marching upgraded into the unique grade.
The runestone could now boost the marching speed to an additional 75%. If he focused on his willpower, he might even increase the boost to almost 100%. This effectively doubled the army's marching speed.
As for the technique book, it contained the Magic Clone spell. Peniel said it was a spell learnable by Archmage. When Jack asked what this spell did, Peniel asked him to imagine Assassin's Combat Clone, except for Archmage. Furthermore, while Combat Clone couldn't use skill, Magic clones could cast spells."
"So, I can have a copy that can fight and use skills?" Jack asked Peniel.
"The spell creates a clone that can do everything you do. In theory, it should be able to use your other classes' skills aside from your magic spells, but I can't say for sure. You will have to learn the spell and test it to be sure."
"I will let Jeanny copy it first before learning it," Jack said.
"After learning it, don't spend any skill points on it," Peniel inford.
"Why?" Jack asked.
"This is one of those spells that can be fused, and you've already got the spell it can pair with."
"Really? Which spell?"
"Body Double," Peniel answered.
"Oh? What spell does it beco after it is fused? What does it do?"
"You will see when you fuse it," Peniel said.
"Co on. Tell ! Once the spells are fused, I lose Body Double, right? I like that spell. If I'm to lose it, I need to know what I get in return."
"Fine. The fused spell is called Double Clone. Magic Clone gives you one copy that can fight and use skills. Double Clone gives you two clones that can fight and use skills."
"Hm…," Jack gave the matter a thought.
"What are you considering? Having two clones that are as strong as you will give you a great edge in a battle. Your enemy already has a headache fighting one of you. They will be having a nightmare if they have to battle three of you."
"You got a point there, but Body Double is very effective for if I want to scout," Jack said. "The copies from that spell are illusions, so the enemies won't be able to block them. The clones from the fused spells can be physically blocked."
"You got your incorporeal state for scouting. Why do you still have to rely on Body Double?" Peniel asked.
"I guess you are right. Okay, let's fuse the spell once Jeanny copies it," Jack said.
He then turned to the last two items. These two were items he had gotten before, but they were also the most valuable ones among the loot he had ever gotten. They were the Talent Pill and the Upgrade Cell.
He needed a private place to use these two things, so he stored them first for now.
"What do you plan to use the Upgrade Cell on?" Peniel asked.
"Do you have a suggestion?" Jack asked back.
"I do."
"What do you suggest? Don't make think hard and then tell to use it on sothing else like the last ti," Jack said.
"That's because you didn't think properly. Okay, I'll tell you. Use it on your Container of Souls."
"That is also my choice," Jack said.
"Really?" Peniel asked.
"Well, you'll never really know now, won't you?" Jack replied with a grin. Peniel could only roll her eyes.
"Are you going to let Jeanny copy those Talent Pill and Upgrade Cell as well?" Peniel asked.
"How many mana cores do you think it will need?" Jack asked back.
"I think it will be almost the sa as the Mana Gathering Stone," Peniel answered.
"100,000 mana cores?" Jack asked in surprise. "But that item is a legendary grade. These two are unique grades."
Peniel shrugged. "These two are items that are very hard to appear, especially the upgrade cell. The Talent Pill might cost fewer mana cores, but I don't reckon it will be very far."
"You also ntioned Talent Pill doesn't always work, right? If the user doesn't have any talent from the start, this pill is wasted."
"That's right," Peniel confird.
Jack sent a ssage to Jeanny, "Do you have 100,000 mana cores?"
"… I got a lot of them from my visit to the Council of Elpo but have not yet hit the 100,000 mark. Why do you ask? I have a lot of other things for other mbers to use these mana cores on. I can't just use them all for you unless you provide the mana cores yourself."
"Uh… Never mind then," Jack said and ended the ssage.
"Are you going to wait until Jeanny or you collected enough mana cores to copy those two items?" Peniel asked.
"It already takes ages to get half that amount for my pendant summon, which was gone after the summon. I'm now crawling back to that amount again. I can't wait that long," Jack answered. "F*ck it. Once I find a quiet place, I will just use them."
After more than an hour, Talia finally finished distributing her gifts to the players.
So of the players left using their newly-gained Town Return Scroll. They would later teleport to Thereath to look for the Growth Aid Agency. As for those who hadn't traveled to Themisphere before, opted to stay with Talia and the others and traveled together. With their current levels, they won't be able to make it alone to another country.
Talia ca to Jack and said, "I haven't given you your additional reward."
"Oh? You got an additional reward for ?" Jack asked. He thought the additional reward ntioned by the quest description was the chance to build a divine faction in his country or integrate Eyrene's group into his army.
Maybe it's all of them.
"I can give you coins, mana cores, exp pills, Thousand Year Wines, or gemstones. Which one do you choose?" Talia asked.
"Choose? I can't have all of them?" Jack asked. He swung his head away as Peniel ca slapping.
"Hehe, I know you will do that," Jack laughed at the fairy.
Talia chuckled. "I can only give you one of them," Talia said.
"May I know the quantity of each?" Jack asked.
"You may not," Talia answered.
"Ugh, fine. I choose mana cores then," Jack said. He was just lanting about how slow it was to get mana cores just now.
Talia nodded. She again summoned her faction legacy and extracted mana cores from it.
As the mana cores flowed into Jack. He found that Talia had given him a total of 30,000 mana cores.
