Knights and Magic Wand
Chapter 379 - 379 181 Spiritual Vein Ore

379: Chapter 181 Spiritual Vein Ore 379: Chapter 181 Spiritual Vein Ore Listening to the faintly howling wind of magic above the ceiling, Leon sat in the Mage Workshop, humming a tune leisurely while busying himself with the task at hand.

He was at the bright workbench, using tweezers to embed the outer frame components of the object in front of him into the glued joint surfaces…

Finally, he placed a small Patiss Crystal, not yet laden with magic power, into the base of the cage frame.

His careful movements made him feel as if he had returned to the times of his previous life when he played with glue and models.

“Perfect,” Leon said as he screwed on the handled lid, picking up the iron hand lantern the size of a palm made of a polyhedral pyramid frame.

This was a genuine “Earth Vein Spirit Lamp” made using standard materials from the storage of the Mage Tower.

As the name implies, the primary function of this thing is for exploring Earth Spiritual Veins.

The reason it can be used for orienteering in a Spirit-like Field was an extra feature taught to him by Lola, involving Sealing and necromancy runes.

And the original wooden Spirit Lamp, after two uses, had already become overburdened.

Even after such a long period of storage, despite careful preservation, the internal clay and stone structure of the rune lamp wick was thoroughly damaged due to climate dryness and humidity changes.

Leon had long preserved the retired little wooden cage as a souvenir, deep within the Treasury of the main castle.

The brand-new hand lantern in his hand was the first qualified magical item he as a Mage Apprentice had made entirely by himself.

Nevertheless, he still inscribed the pathfinding rune combinations around the wick, just like its predecessor, since it didn’t affect the original use.

Having an extra function was good, after all, who knew if one day he would find himself trapped in the Cursed Land again.

Picking up the tower-shaped hand lantern, he hung it on his belt with a clasp, and Leon toyed with it, feeling it was quite a chic pendant decoration.

Extinction the Magic Crystal Lamp’s magic power on the workbench, Leon tidied up his tools and containers, then stood up and went to another experimental bench, leaning close to Kovis to see the Enchantment he was performing on his Sword.

“Does the ‘Friendship’ inscription get in the way?

If it does, it’s no problem to erase it,” Leon asked, poking his head around curiously.

Upon hearing this, Kovis gently shook his head, “It’s not in the way.

The knowledge I learned from your Magic Guidebook has reduced a lot of my original errors and unnecessary runes.

Just a few Ancient Lorelette characters complete all the functions of the previous sword.

Some effects are actually universal, there’s no need for separate Magic Technique engraving…”

…

Having said that, even if it were impossible to streamline the runes, the young man wouldn’t have had the heart to erase the inscription that symbolized their friendship.

Leon listened, nodded his head, and sat down to wait patiently.

Originally, he came to ask Lola for help enchanting the sword, but seeing Miss Mage so engrossed in tinkering with the “Magic Wand” for him, he felt it was inopportune to speak up.

If he bothered Lola A with every little thing, he might as well change his name to Leon Nobi.

Thinking Kovis had some crafting experience, and a few small spells weren’t particularly difficult, the two browsed through the books and busied themselves using the workshops’ tools and materials.

As the solidified Crystal Liquid in the reserved grooves of the long sword completely cooled, Kovis used the sharp, high-temperature cutting cone on the workbench to cut off the excess Crystal Clusters.

He polished the Crystallized Magic Pattern fused with the sword body until it was smooth.

Then, the young man extended both hands, took a deep breath, drew out a Dharma Seal, and tried to manipulate.

The Rune Longsword, embedded with a Magic Gem and Magic Technique runes, suddenly floated in the air.

“Ah, it’s finished,” Kovis exclaimed, also secretly amazed at the Rune Sword’s sensitive response and light feeling in his magic perception.

Keep in mind, the weight and size of this main thrusting long sword were far greater than his previous self-made “Light Sword.”

Was it because these days he was always drained of magic power by Leon’s intense training and thus both his magic power reserve and mental manipulation strength significantly improved?

Or was it because learning and using Ancient Lorelette magic had optimized the techniques, tremendously increasing the efficiency of spell manipulation?

Kovis felt it was a combination of both.

Releasing the Dharma Seal from one hand without linking it carefully to both ends of the sword anymore, Kovis picked up the scabbard that was set aside with his left hand.

He aligned his fingers with his right hand, transferred the Magic Chain to the sword blade’s balance point, and then raised his fingertips.

The Rune Longsword chimed lightly, drawing a beautiful arc, and flew precisely into its scabbard.

Watching his own Little Magic Knight sheathe his sword with a spell, Leon felt he was dressed in impressive skill.

“Awesome, no, I must practice Object Control Magic more,” Leon said with envy.

He could now perform some simple telekinesis with magic power, like moving a teacup, but controlling the force was difficult; either it was wobbly, or he used too much strength, nowhere near Kovis’s precision of sheathing the Flying Sword.

And it made sense.

In the past, the young man was confined under Pilireno’s watchful eye, not allowed to learn or come into contact with real Attack Magic.

Hence, he could only devote his energy to a few basic spells he was permitted, achieving today’s proficiency.

Kovis helplessly smiled at his Lord, “Your Elemental Magic is far more powerful than my little tricks.”

“Not the same, not the same, your Flying Sword Technique, to me, is quite a special kind of romance,” Leon replied, shaking his head mysteriously.
