Chapter 577: The Unsellable Magic Guidance Ring, Magic Knowledge, and the Weak Lightning Ring

Following this, the next items introduced were three gold rings arranged in the middle by Yamila.

The rings were mostly made of gold, with slightly larger gems fixed onto them. Furthermore, Jier noticed that the surfaces of these gold rings featured intricate patterns.

Yamila proudly picked up one ring and brought it before Jier's face, signaling for him to lean in and look closely.

"You think these are just patterns, right? Actually, they aren't. I carefully engraved the surface using crystal lenses capable of magnifying the image of objects. And although this ring looks like gold and has the weight of gold, I actually added a magic material to the base gold that can fuse with it. This makes the otherwise soft gold firm enough to withstand impact without deforming, ensuring that the magic pathways and magic arrays I carefully engraved are not affected by material deformation."

Yamila said a lot in one breath, seemingly wanting to make up for the lack of quality in the magic rings she had just shown, specifically talking this ring up.

But Jier remained unmoved; he asked a key question: "Then, Miss Austin, what is the function of this magic ring? After all, you went to the trouble of putting such complex magic patterns on it and added magic material to prevent the gold from deforming; it must be very powerful, right?"

Asked this, Yamila felt a bit awkward, but she could not avoid the question, so after weighing her words, she spoke: "This ring, it's quite amazing! It can emit a thin Magic Guidance Beam from the purple crystal core on the ring face, guiding other long-range magic spells you cast to chase and hit the enemy! This is a boutique item I only managed to create with the help of a senior brother who specializes in making magic tools!"

Jier raised an eyebrow and was about to say something, but Yamila continued to talk incessantly about the benefits of this ring: "You know, many enemies move flexibly, and it is very difficult for released magic to hit an enemy who is determined to dodge. Especially for some magic spells released, once they are a bit far away, it is very difficult to control their trajectory."

She lifted the gold ring inlaid with the purple crystal in her hand: "But it's different with this. As long as you don't exceed the range of the Magic Guidance Beam emitted by this purple crystal, which is about!"

Jier said perfunctorily: "Amazing, amazing!"

"Do you know? The truly difficult part of this thing is how to connect the guidance beam with your own magic control system. This is not a simple task; it requires thirty precise magic arrays to connect and control, and to transfer your original magic control authority to the Magic Guidance Beam emitted by the ring. It must be coordinated with the attack magic about to be released! And an additional corresponding magic long-range control magic power simulation structure must be added to the attack magic itself, only then can it truly coordinate with your magic!!"

Yamila finally said proudly: "With it, some of your magic spells can even turn corners, allowing them to fly in circles in the air. What originally required precise mental control of magic can now be done just by moving your fingers, with the same or even better control effects! This is the latest magic technology made public by the Southern Alliance Kingdom!"

Jier kept smiling, politely waiting for Yamila to finish introducing the item. After she calmed down, Jier shrugged: "But you might have misunderstood something. This thing sounds like a specialized magic auxiliary tool prepared for magic users. But I am not a magic user, am I? Look at this armor, this long sword at my waist, this clattering sound of metal."

"You might have noticed, I am a warrior, Miss Austin."

Yamila's face fell instantly. She threw the gold ring in her hand hard onto the ground and, with an exaggerated gesture, scratched her hair in frustration, making it a mess.

"I know, I know! Of course I know you are a warrior, and a young Knight at that! But I just wanted to try and see if you would buy my ring! Ahhhhh, another failure!! How can this ring be so good—it counts as a work I'm very satisfied with—why can't it be sold!!"

Watching Yamila break down and make a scene in front of him, Jier reached out and picked up the magic ring that had sunk into the carpet. This thing was indeed sturdy; after being thrown so hard by Yamila, even with the carpet cushioning the floor, ordinary gold would always have some slight deformation.

But this ring did not have a single bit of deformation; the extremely fine patterns on the ring—no, the engraved magic arrays—did not have the slightest distortion.

He didn't know what magic material Yamila had added when making this thing to make gold, known for its softness, become so firm.

If there were a larger quantity of this material, he would be interested in seeing if he could acquire some to use in crafting the formal Knight Armor he planned to build next, but if there was only the little bit on the ring, then forget it.

"From what you said, this thing should have good effects, so why can't it be sold? A warrior like me certainly can't use it, but magic users like you should all need the assistance of this thing, right?" Jier began to comfort her.

Yamila went crazy for a while. At this moment, the Spirit of the Magic Tower—Mimi—brought up newly made tea snacks and a gorgeous crystal water bottle. The previous empty plates and silver water bottle were removed. It even controlled a slender little white hand, holding a comb, to come over and help Yamila, whose hair was a mess, to comb it.

"Woo, I've made a fool of myself in front of you, Jier. You asked a good question. It seems like a type of auxiliary combat tool that every Magic Apprentice should acquire. But in fact, it is not like that at all."

This time, Yamila was not in the mood to perform the Magic Hand pouring tea, so she waved her hand to let Mimi use its little white hand to pour a cup of freshly brewed Lemon Flower Tea for each of them.

The slight acidity and freshness of the lemon mixed with the rich, fragrant floral scent of the tea gave the tea a unique flavor.

As for the freshly made small snacks, Jier picked one up to taste, and it was surprisingly lemon-flavored too. But besides the lemon flavor, there was also a rich milky scent, as if it were made by mixing animal milk products with lemon fruit crumbs and heating them.

This thing was also very sweet; clearly, Honey or sugar had been added.

Honey and sugar were good things that ordinary people couldn't even eat a little of in a year. He didn't expect that these groups who use Magic would have such a luxurious daily life. Jier guessed whether most of their money was spent on these enjoyments of life?

After all, looking at this Magic Tower that can fight and run, and the various complex but well-prepared sets of living utensils inside, it is not hard to see how extravagant the daily life of a Mage is.

The carriages and servants brought by Kendall Baron for this southern expedition were really far behind compared to a Mage.

Not just a little bit.

After the two took a sip of tea, Yamila didn't eat the newly served snacks at all. She said dejectedly: "Young Magic Apprentices can't afford this ring; I intend to sell this thing for thirty Ogle Gold Coins. With this money, young Magic Apprentices would of course choose to learn one or two more important magic spells, or buy a set of necessary magic equipment, rather than auxiliary equipment that is optional."

She looked at the purple crystal gold ring on the table with a helpless expression: "And those guys with some ability either have already mastered the magic technology of magic guidance and don't need to prepare a special ring, or they have installed this magic guidance device on one of their important magic tools, such as a Gem Headband or a Battle Orb on their shoulder."

Jier knew about Gem Headbands; Kendall Baron had one, and his eldest son also seemed to have a similar magic tool. As for the Battle Orb, this was the first time Jier had heard of it outside of theatrical stories. And the person in front of him was clearly not one of those ignorant theater actors, but a Magic Apprentice who specifically studied Magic; perhaps she could tell him what a Battle Orb was?

"Battle Orb? What is that?" Jier asked curiously.

Yamila took another sip of Lemon Flower Tea, letting Mimi use its long hand to hold a comb and brush her hair. She glanced at Jier: "You are very mysterious, and your strength is unknown, but you haven't even heard of these things related to our Magic? Sometimes I really admire you people of the Saint Hors Kingdom, that you can live completely without relying on Magic? I myself cannot imagine what a boring life that is."

Jier gave a wry smile. Looking at this female Magic Apprentice who had everything handed to her and relied entirely on the Magic Tower for her daily life, Jier found it hard to hold back. The other party was simply more like a person living in the twenty-first century of his original world than he was, while he himself was like an ancient person living in the twelfth century.

Or an ordinary person from another world.

Jier raised his hand to signal Yamila to explain it to him. Yamila, having calmed her mood, also picked up a Lemon Milk Cube snack, put it into her mouth, and revealed a satisfied expression before continuing: "A Battle Orb is a combat tool that can fly, launch Combat Magic, release Magic Hudun, and share Magic Power with the magic user."

"It can circle around the user during battle, intercepting enemy attacks while launching magic attacks at the enemy. It has a high-energy Magic Source pre-installed inside, which can allow the user to continue fighting when their own Magic Power is insufficient. It can also use a large number of pre-prepared Magic Seeds stored inside in coordination with other large magic tools to flexibly use many magic spells."

Jier asked again: "Then what is a Magic Seed?"

Yamila became impatient: "You are not a newcomer to the Magic Tower, why am I telling you these things? If you ask again, I'm going to charge you! And learning Magic is not cheap!"

Jier took out a Gold Coin and pushed it from the table to in front of Yamila.

Yamila glanced at the Gold Coin, her expression immediately improved, and with a stroke of her delicate, slender palm across the table, the Gold Coin disappeared.

"Ah, a Magic Seed is a way to pre-construct the magic structure needed for a spell in advance, then compress it into a small point similar to a seed. It exists in a state similar to a superposition of matter and information knowledge. When you need to use some complex magic, especially in a combat state where time is urgent, some simple and mass-released magic can allow Magic Power to be injected into the Magic Seed, quickly preparing a complex magic spell and then releasing it."

Jier could understand the meaning of what Yamila said, and the more he understood, the more he couldn't help but marvel at how advanced the Mages of this other world really were.

The magic spells to be used are prepared in advance, the complex magic structure is completed, and then compressed into a Magic Seed. When needed, Magic Power is temporarily provided to expand the Magic Seed, turning it into a formal magic spell that can be used at any time.

In this way, Mages almost skip the time required to slowly construct complex magic during battle. After all, Jier still had a rough understanding that even simple magic is composed of complex magic arrays. It's similar to the computer hardware and software of his previous life; it looks one way when used, but behind those varied and complex programs is a stack of ten, a hundred, or ten thousand times more complex yet simple programs.

The same goes for computer hardware; the principle is very simple, but an almost infinite combination of simple logic gates can build the foundation of computer hardware, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex.

Afterward, Jier pointed to the second gold ring, signaling Yamila to introduce it.

"You don't want the one from just now, right?" Even knowing Jier didn't want it, Yamila still asked again, unwilling to give up.

"You know the answer without asking. I am a warrior, so of course I can't use this kind of magic tool that assists in magic combat. But I am still curious, you can make these magic tools yourself, but I don't seem to see you using them yourself?"

Facing Jier's question, Yamila felt a bit awkward: "This... uh, it's a problem regarding Magic Power. Anyway, you wouldn't understand even if I told you; it's something about combat efficiency."

After speaking vaguely, Yamila immediately moved the next magic ring to be introduced in front of Jier: "You will definitely like this one below. I once made a whole set of similar rings, and they sold very well. This is the last one."

"Oh?" Jier's curiosity was piqued. This ring also used gold as the base material, with a similarly golden-yellow transparent gem inlaid on it. The whole gem ring looked two sizes larger than the other rings around it, looking more like a thumb ring used by an archer than a magic tool.

Jier reached out and signaled Yamila to introduce it.

"This one, it can emit a weak lightning at close range that can electrocute and paralyze enemies. The attack distance is about three meters when in contact. And as you can see, it is larger than the other rings because I hid four small magic crystals inside, which can pre-store Magic Power for four attacks. Of course, for people like you and me who possess Magic Power, it is completely useless. It can also directly extract Magic Power from your body to use. In this case, unless your Magic Power is exhausted, it can continuously release lightning attacks."

Yamila held up a finger: "Remember, its Magic Power consumption is still quite astonishing. If you use it continuously without control, although I don't know how long the Magic Power in your body can last, I can't do it for more than a few minutes. When using it against an enemy, using it for no more than one-tenth of a second at a time is enough. Its power is completely enough to knock a person to the ground."

"An ordinary person?" Jier asked.

"Nonsense, you Knights are stubborn and tough; its electric shock can barely hurt you, but it's unlikely to completely subdue you."

After finishing speaking, Yamila put the ring on her hand and said to Jier, eager to try: "Do you want to give it a try?"

Jier pondered for a moment; this thing was not bad, and he would definitely buy it, as it could be used for close-range surprise attacks and self-defense; after all, it was hard for anyone to imagine that a Knight like him could suddenly use Magic to fight.

"Sure, but let's go outside the house; there isn't enough room to maneuver here." In truth, it was nothing, but Jier was afraid of a trap or capsizing in a gutter, so he suggested testing the power of this Magic Ring outside the house.

"Then let's go! Mimi, turn on the warming function of the crystal pot; don't let the Lemon Flower Tea get cold."

After giving the instruction, Yamila led Jier out of the Magic Hut and came to the open space in front of the hut.
