As he slowly began to re-wrap it in the linen cloth, he casually asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dalko, you just said... Mr. Bronson left the manor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dalko, who had been about to ask about the bone’s origin, was distracted and instantly lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he didn’t care much about what Bronson had given Roland. Right now, his only concern was his father’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Bronson did indeed leave the manor, but he didn’t say where he was going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Roland wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bronson had previously gone out alone to gather Magic Elements, it seemed perfectly plausible that the research-obsessed scholar would do anything unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Roland couldn’t understand, however, was why Bronson would have Dalko give this bone to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he in a hurry for me to test this bone’s effects?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was pondering this, Dalko’s voice interrupted his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, Roland? When are you planning to return to the manor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a few more days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had enough money in his pocket to buy a dozen or so more Devil Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his original plan, Roland intended to finish Refining the remaining Spirit Summoning Potion in Distant Harbor before heading back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why don’t you come back with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Roland seemed to have improved Dalko’s mood considerably. The young nobleman reverted to his usual self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a hand on Roland’s shoulder and said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If nothing unexpected happens, King Morne will be summoning us nobles in a few days. Once the audience is over, I’ll be able to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So where are you staying now? Do you want to stay with me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dalko could finish, Roland gently waved his hand, declining the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one thing, Refining Spirit Summoning Potion required a quiet environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for another...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand unconsciously touched the hard bone in his bundle, and his eyebrow rose slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now that I have a bone that can absorb Magic Elements, I don’t have to wait until I’m back at the manor to learn a Trick.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of the Flaming Arrow Bronson had cast that day filled Roland with an unbearable sense of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a Trick’s power was limited, the chance to learn a supernatural skill was something anyone would yearn for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland was certainly no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Roland refuse, Dalko shrugged nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how will I contact you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving the name of the inn where he was staying, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Roland turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his inn room, he eagerly unwrapped the bundle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the pale bone, Roland took a deep breath to calm his slightly racing heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then closed his eyes, carefully recalling Bronson’s instructions on how to use the Spell Patterns as he slowly placed his palm on the bone, which gleamed with a cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his palm touched the bone, an icy sensation spread from his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, nothing unusual happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Roland was about to give up, the seemingly random Engravings suddenly became clear in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each line seemed to come alive, outlining a complete pattern in the depths of his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland’s heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the fine Engravings on the bone’s surface begin to warm up slightly, and something invisible in the air seemed to be slowly drawn toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a traveler in the desert suddenly catching the scent of water vapor, he clearly sensed the existence of Magic Elements for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The free-floating Energy swirled around the bone like tiny fireflies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would sometimes gather into a stream, sometimes scatter about, but were ultimately all captured by the exquisite patterns on the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more and more Magic Elements gathered, Roland suddenly felt a slight sting in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Energy absorbed by the bone actually began to seep in slowly through his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it felt like icy threads burrowing into his skin, bringing with them a slight numbness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as more Magic Elements poured in, Roland’s palm began to heat up, as if it were submerged in a spring whose temperature was gradually rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly feel the unfamiliar Energy flowing slowly along the channels of his arm. Wherever it passed, his muscles would tremble involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a peculiar experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was neither painful nor pleasant, but rather an unprecedented sense of... presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a tangible substance had suddenly been injected into what were once empty blood vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland could even seem to hear a faint humming as the Magic Power flowed, like the sound of distant, barely audible wind chimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing quickened unconsciously, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was having some trouble adjusting to receiving Magic Elements for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the Magic Elements passed through a joint, it would cause an instinctive tensing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, when the Magic Power reached the vicinity of his brain, Roland felt a peculiar sense of fullness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had chugged a large glass of sparkling water, and even his heartbeat became exceptionally clear and strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hooo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long exhale, Roland slowly lifted his hand from the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his fingertips were still trembling slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up in an irrepressible smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Bronson... you really are a genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmured in admiration, his eyes twinkling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Roland turned and sat on the edge of the bed. After regulating his breathing, he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened them again, a familiar haziness filled his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of the damp sea breeze vanished, replaced by the unique silence of the Consciousness Shallows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely different from the chaotic, surging scene he had witnessed when he first drank the Spirit Summoning Potion, the Consciousness Shallows now presented a refreshing tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray fog had long since dissipated, replaced by a sea surface as clear as a mirror, reflecting an endless azure sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze carried the unique, fresh scent of the sea, as if it were cleansing his very thoughts, making them exceptionally clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the Rune structure for Flaming Arrow that Bronson had demonstrated, Roland took a deep breath and slowly traced his finger through the empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he made the first stroke, his Spiritual Power materialized in the Consciousness Shallows, seeping from his fingertip like a silk thread and leaving a crimson trail in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The core arc of the Rune must be precise... Too loose, and the Magic Power will dissipate. Too tight, and it will cause a premature combustion.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland muttered to himself as he watched the red light bend and take shape according to his will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the three arcs converged, the Rune suddenly began to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland immediately steadied his wrist and began to sketch the peripheral auxiliary patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he picked up the pace. The threads of Spiritual Power danced like flickering flames, quickly weaving the serrated Burning marks and the sharp projection arrowhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final stroke was completed, the entire Rune suddenly collapsed inward, transforming into a single, floating, dark-red point of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roland could feel the compressed heat within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like holding an ember on the verge of bursting into Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully wrapped it in his consciousness, placed it in a specific spot in the depths of his mind, and then left the Consciousness Shallows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he returned to reality, a line of clear text slowly materialized before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill Acquired: Flaming Arrow.
