Knights and Magic Wand
Chapter 399 - 399 191 Flying Thunder God_2

399: Chapter 191: Flying Thunder God_2 399: Chapter 191: Flying Thunder God_2 Such a simple operation was not at all difficult even for Lorelette apprentice, Leon.

He looked at the height of the city wall and the distance from the small hill.

It wouldn’t result in any injuries.

Following the principle of practice makes perfect, he decided to give it a go.

He jumped onto the battlements and activated the traction of the magic wand.

The next moment, to Olivia’s astonished gaze, crackling sounds surrounded Leon.

Bursts of circling electrical energy emerged, and his body instantly flew along the trajectory of the Thunder Spear.

“—Whoo~!”

In mid-air, Leon endured the tingling sensation of electricity coursing through his body and revelled in the whooshing sound of the wind passing by his ears as he excitedly yelled out.

He had never expected his first act of volitional flight to not be on the back of a Griffin but through this method instead.

However, as the distance to the small hill shortened, not wanting to fall gracelessly, Leon activated the traction technique of the magic wand once again.

The electric light surrounding his body vanished, the pulling force suddenly relaxed, and without the spell’s effect, Leon’s body transitioned to a glide through natural force.

But the Magic Gun stuck in the ground, once again surrounded with thunder and lightning, flew backward toward Leon in mid-air.

Reaching out in mid-air, he caught the heavy Garner with precision, causing his body, without any leverage, to spin and flip.

But the rebounding force just happened to cancel out the momentum of his glide and fall.

Using the force to his advantage, he performed a few Cat Spinning rolls to stabilize himself and, upon landing, used the weight of the Magic Gun to balance his body.

Leon slid for a bit on the small hill before coming to a steady stop.

~Thrilling…

But then.

Leon leaned on his magic wand, lifted a foot, and looked down at his completely worn-out boot sole.

The dangling shoe sole exposed the sock wrapped around his foot.

Great…

The fine leather boots I bought less than a month ago are now ruined.

Next time, remember to wear sturdy steel boots with plate armor to use this move.

Far away, Olivia jumped down from the city wall with her hand supporting herself on the battlements, flipped mid-air off the outer wall to land, and then hurriedly ran over in this direction.

“Leon!”

Hearing the distant call of the girl, Leon turned around.

Upon reaching her side, Olivia looked him up and down and asked with concern, “You suddenly flew so far away, it gave me quite a scare.

Did you hurt yourself?”

“No harm done, just ruined my shoes.”

“Then…

should I carry you back?” the girl looked towards Leon’s feet.

“No need, I used to run countless miles barefoot with Azeryan.”

Leon took off his leather boots and socks, tied them with a string around his waist with the intention of seeing if a craftsman might fix them later.

Although he wasn’t short on money now, that was no excuse for wastefulness.

Barefoot, he walked towards the small eastern city gate of Avalon.

While straightening out his spiky hair that had blown every which way once again, he couldn’t help but boast to his lover, “Never mind my hair, how cool was that ‘Flying Thunder God’ move?”

Although it couldn’t compare to the exaggerated and swift Flying Thunder God Technique in a certain work from his previous life, Leon couldn’t think of a more suitable name for this move.

“Yes, it’s quite impressive, but can you continue to use magic to fly back and forth like this?” Olivia asked curiously.

“This…

isn’t so easy,” admitted Leon.

Leon held the Garner tighter and sensed the remaining Magic Power stored in the Flame Sun Disc of the magic wand.

The element throw of “Thunder Spear” took up quite a bit; the Traction Technique used some, and the remaining magic power was definitely not enough for another Thunder Spear.

Moreover, it was not advisable to materialize the magic wand a second time within one day-and-night, as it could cause damage.

However, throwing the magic wand out with arm strength alone and then using the Traction Technique to slide once more could work.

The Traction Technique would not damage the wand.

It definitely couldn’t match the long-distance reach of the elementalized Thunder Spear, though.

…

One Thunder Spear with Flying Thunder God, plus one short-range toss with Flying Thunder God—the latter can be used again after quickly infusing magic power, while the former requires the magic wand to regain flexibility for a whole day.

Using it consumes a significant amount of Magic Power and comes with many restrictions, but Leon isn’t bothered.

To discover such a unique use is already a delightful surprise.

With more practice of this technique, it could be used to perform surprise beheadings in the future, or flee swiftly when he couldn’t overcome an enemy, catching them off-guard.

…

Calling the guards to open the gate and returning to Avalon Castle through the small eastern city gate, after experimenting with the Garner, Leon changed his shoes and headed to the administrative room to work.

Although he hadn’t received a response from Count Eriv regarding the establishment of the Knight Order.

Yet Leon thought for a moment, sat down at his desk, and still penned a letter, reporting the news of the underground mine.

A mine of such magnitude, once exploitation begins, cannot be kept secret; to think of monopolizing it is definitely impractical.

With Avalon’s current manpower and financial resources, it’s impossible to maximize the benefits of the mine; moreover, monopolization would certainly draw unwanted attention.

Better to actively cooperate with the Sealing Lord for joint development, leverage the power of the Thorny Flower family, and face potential future envy from the surrounding Lords together.

It would make things easier for himself and save a lot of trouble.

Thinking about it, Leon felt that if Count Eriv had discovered the Avalon Territory had such a mineral deposit earlier, the forest area to the east probably wouldn’t have been included in his Baron Domain at the time of enfeoffment.

This had nothing to do with the friendship and kindness between the two; such a critical strategic resource is something no leader responsible for their own power could easily let out of their hands…

Of course, besides the Black Crystal Iron Mine, Leon also did not forget to mention the “Dwarf Mission” encountered in the underground mines and the several Dwarf craftsmen he recruited at a high price to stay at Avalon Castle.
