Chapter 451: 19. Entrance of the Wutong Tree (Two in One, Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)_2

As the cherished apprentice of Great Mage Helson, Fisher had indeed inherited his profound knowledge. Moreover, Fisher’s soul sensitivity had been enhanced by the Completion Manual.

He could only engrave Nine Ring spells, but that didn’t mean he lacked knowledge of theories beyond the Nine Ring level. On the contrary, all he lacked was sufficient Magic Power; otherwise, Renie wouldn’t have needed to help him earlier.

When he was engraving magic with Renie, her role was more like that of a large Magic Power bank, while the main engraving process was still completed by Fisher, since he had taught Renie Magic Theory before.

"Hmm, I think I’ve already got a rough idea of the magic structure, but I need you to provide me with Magic Materials, prepare the following ones..."

After Fisher finished speaking, he rapidly listed several types of Magic Materials from different categories and their specific quantities, causing Helldor in front of him to subconsciously exhale a puff of steam.

"Ssss..."

Helldor suddenly realized that the quantity of Magic Materials specified by Fisher might be a bit too much, already enough to engrave a spell of the Nine Ring level or higher.

He even began to suspect that this spell didn’t really require such a large amount of Magic Materials, that perhaps Fisher was just taking advantage of his boss, but he had no evidence and didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

Valentina, standing behind him with no knowledge of magic, glanced at Helldor, whose mechanical mask showed no expression, leaving her unsure of what to think.

"Ssss... I understand. I’ll prepare them for you."

Watching Helldor nod and stand up to prepare to board their flagship to fetch the materials, Fisher focused on constructing the specific structure of the magic in his mind.

In truth, Fisher did intend to fleece Valentina a bit but not completely; after all, the spell was his own recent creation, and he wasn’t certain how much he would need.

If there was excess, he’d just keep it for himself. If it was all used up, that would be normal.

Valentina watched Helldor leave to get the Magic Materials, her pale silver gaze flickering slightly.

If even Helldor, one of the top mages in her family, couldn’t match up to this Nali man in magic, then Fisher might very well be a Senior Member of the Nali Magic Association.

And considering his age, the number of Senior Members in that age group was even fewer...

It wasn’t long before Helldor returned with the finely ground Magic Material powders. He also carefully noted that Fisher didn’t have the tools for engraving magic, so he brought along his own frequently used engraving knife.

The shape of engraving knives used by mages of the Northern Realm was quite unique, with a distinct curve to the blade, which created very deep gouges with only a slight application of force.

Many believed this reflected the North Realm people’s rugged nature, but it was not actually the case.

The heavy snows of the Northern Realm made it so not everyone had the luxury to engrave magic by a warm hearth; the extreme cold made their fingers less agile and the materials for engraving harder, hence the design of this more force efficient engraving knife.

Fisher had once used this kind of tool for a while, yes, out of defiance against Damian.

He’d engraved a Sound Recording Magic on a stele that continuously insulted Damian, placing it at the entrance of the Royal College for every passing student and professor to hear.

Since the stele was too hard, he had to use one of those Northern engraving knives, and that very afternoon, not only was the stele taken away, but Fisher was also summoned to Damian’s office and detained, until Elizabeth came to the office to take him back to the library.

But she had said, "I’ve wanted to do this for a long time..."

Grasping the heavy engraving knife, Fisher applied the Magic Materials while gauging the proper spot for engraving. His correct and standard Magic Engraving posture even drew the attention of Balzac, who was standing nearby with a look of disdain; not to mention Helldor, who was a mage himself.

The art of a mage engraving magic bore a remarkable similarity to that of those famous sculptors, but the wondrous sensation of the Emblem slowly syncing with the world was something other professions could not imitate.

Fisher’s posture was proper, in the classical style of engraving, highly similar to that of the Kado Church’s method... In fact, he knew a bit of every technique. He usually preferred modern engraving methods, but he was intentionally using the classical style now in Valentina’s presence to maintain a guise.

"Ssss... Do you intend to engrave directly onto the relic’s surface? But that could potentially damage the relic’s function, and if the relic’s effect is nullified, we could be swallowed by curses in an instant."

"What? Are you joking?"

Standing at the side and observing Fisher’s posture, Balzac was startled by Helldor’s simple statement and leaped up, fearing he’d end up a feather-covered monster like those guards. He quickly interjected,

"No, this is risking our lives; moreover, you are using a spell you created yourself, which increases the danger."

Fisher didn’t move but simply explained,

"As it stands, the scroll is enveloped by the relic, and the only place I can engrave is here. Any further away and it probably won’t work because of the relic. As for potential damage, you needn’t worry—I have confidence in my skills... If you’re afraid, you can step back a bit and come over once I am done."
