Chapter 588: Potion Obtained, A Startling Magic Dagger

The two of them and the house continued to move through this empty forest area that had been destroyed by Mimi. After walking diagonally for more than twenty meters, Jier pointed to the ground in front: "There are about ten tons of metal ingots here too, please have Mimi take them!"

After Mimi understood, it immediately used its long, white, large hands to brush away the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground. Under the thin layer of leaves were a large number of metal ingots.

Yamila counted the numbers aloud; every time Mimi picked one up, she recorded it. When Mimi had taken fifty metal ingots, Yamila let out a breath: "It is indeed about ten tons."

In truth, she felt completely relieved inside. With this, the minimum requirement for the task her teacher had assigned her was already completed, and whatever she managed to get beyond this would be her own skill.

Either turn it over to the teacher to receive the teacher's praise, or hand it over privately to the Noble in charge of the Kingdom Army's logistics in exchange for other rewards or resources.

Exchanging it directly for money is the simplest, but in reality, there are things more important than money. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of obtaining those things through trade; only by performing meritorious service in war is there a possibility of obtaining them.

For example, ownership of some land, or mining rights, logging rights in a forest, hunting rights in mountain forests, fishing rights in rivers, and so on. These are all powers possessed by Nobles, and under normal circumstances, they only circulate within their Noble circles. Even if handed to outsiders, they are handed to Merchant Guilds close to them to manage on their behalf.

Yamila could even rely on the extra metal ingots to obtain logging rights for a mountain forest within the Ophirine Kingdom. One must know that because the Ophirine Kingdom has many mountain fires, wood products have always been in short supply, and people's lives are completely inseparable from wood products. Therefore, as long as she could secure the logging rights to a piece of mountain forest and manage it properly, preventing the mountain forest from breaking out in fire, that mountain forest could bring her a substantial and stable income every year.

With a few more things like this, she would one day have a way to pay back the funds the great Noble spent to cultivate her.

"Hehe, only the last fifteen tons of metal ingots left!" A smile appeared on the corner of Yamila's mouth, and her mood clearly improved.

Jier noticed this, but he didn't say anything, pointing to a spot a few meters ahead: "There are another ten tons here, right here, Mimi, please take them!"

"Mi!"

The Magic House responded with a sound, moved its steps slightly, and then used its slender, large hands to brush away the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, revealing the metal ingots underneath.

At this moment, the sound of Yamila counting was much lighter; after all, every metal ingot collected at this time already belonged to her own extra harvest.

"Only the last five tons left! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Jier, hurry up and bring them out! Once the trade is complete, I will give you this Potion!" After finishing, Yamila took the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 at her waist into her hand and shook it at Jier.

Yamila's attitude at this moment was too abnormal. After a moment of thought, Jier understood that the agreed quantity for the trade was definitely not around fifty tons. Although he didn't know the specific amount, he estimated that the forty-five tons of metal ingots given at this time had already exceeded the agreed quantity, which was why Yamila was so relaxed and at ease.

"No rush yet. I have already given you most of the metal ingots, yet you haven't given me anything; this is not fair! How about this, you give me the Potion now, and I promise you that I will guarantee the remaining last five tons for you, how about that?" Jier asked, probing.

Unexpectedly, Yamila agreed directly. Although she was still a bit reluctant to part with the Potion in her hand, she threw the item in her hand, as if she wasn't afraid of breaking the Potion in the bag, and just threw it to Jier that easily.

Jier hurriedly reached out to catch it. He rolled his eyes at Yamila, but after looking at the extremely thick glass bottle inside the leather pouch, he understood why Yamila threw it to him so casually.

The thickness of this glass bottle was clearly designed to protect the Potion even during high-intensity combat. Dropping it on the ground like this naturally wouldn't break it, and even ordinary striking methods couldn't do anything to such a thick glass bottle body.

Quickly putting away the Potion, Jier didn't even look at this disgusting thing. He led Yamila and the Magic House Mimi around the destroyed forest for a small half-circle and stopped at a place that looked like a desert.

"It's not far ahead, brush away this loose soil that has been blown into powder by Magic. Buried temporarily underneath are about ten tons of metal ingots. Of course, you can only take five tons, twenty-five pieces," Jier said.

Yamila pouted, not very happy, but still signaled for Mimi to start taking them.

The Magic House lowered its head slightly, if the second and third floors of the house were its head. Several wooden windows on the house opened, and then a faint glimmer of Magic flashed from within the windows, immediately blowing a strong wind out from the windows.

The strong wind blew with a roar, quickly blowing away the surface layer of floating soil from the soil that had been blown into powder, revealing the metal ingots temporarily hidden underneath.

Mimi used its slender, large hands to send them into the house one by one, and soon it obediently took twenty-five metal ingots.

It was quite well-behaved; after taking twenty-five, without needing Yamila's instruction, it retracted the white, large hands that had extended from the windows on both sides.

"Mi!" It called out, seemingly carrying the joy of completing the task.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know the task is complete. Mimi, you don't need to remind me." Yamila looked greedily at the remaining metal ingots underneath and looked up at Jier: "Jier, you don't seem to have any use for these things anyway. These are all the fruits of sin produced by those hateful Soldiers forcing poor Villagers to labor, so how about it, give them to me? I am willing to spend money to buy them! How about one Gold Coin per metal ingot? And not the currency of your Saint Hors Kingdom, but our Kingdom's Ogle Gold Coin!"

Jier was not stupid. He waved his hand: "Forget it, the trade is complete. I hope you won't interfere with my rescuing of the Villagers these two days. You can do that, right?"

"Of course I won't ruin your affairs. After all, you said just now that whoever blocks you from saving people, you will kill them. To be honest, I can't see through you, so it's better to avoid annoying you. By the way, are you really not going to deal with these metal ingots? Does your original Magic Tool need recharging? Do you have any other Magic-related troubles? Do you need me to give you a lesson on basic Magic common sense? It's not expensive, it only requires a small amount of metal ingots to pay. If it weren't for just the two of us here, I wouldn't dare to teach others Magic knowledge like this."

Yamila said a lot of things to Jier excitedly, and her goal was clearly the remaining metal ingots at the bottom of the pit.

Jier smacked his lips. Reminded by Yamila, he remembered that his 【Heart Fire】 Dagger indeed needed recharging. After the previous successive battles, this Magic weapon had consumed a lot of its internal Magic Power. This was an important weapon he used as a trump card, and recharging it had always troubled Jier.

He thought he would have to find the Kendall Baron before he could use the Baron's Noble status and connections to find the Mage group in the Southern Province to recharge it, but since he was lucky enough to run into a Magic Apprentice here, then what else was there to say!

"Good suggestion! Please take these metal ingots away. I do have some Magic Items that need recharging, and some things related to Magic that need your help. I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

Hearing Jier's reply, Yamila happily covered her mouth with her hand and signaled for Mimi to take away the last of these metal ingots.

Of course, she still suspected that there were quite a few metal ingots temporarily hidden by Jier in the surrounding ground, but she couldn't possibly let Mimi look for them in front of Jier; that would make Jier turn hostile immediately.

Jier considered himself unable to defeat the Magic House, and Yamila was no different in that she couldn't see through Jier and felt that Jier was extremely mysterious.

The simple conflict at noon was already the highest level of conflict that both sides could accept. If another conflict or contradiction broke out, then only a life-and-death battle remained after interests could not be reconciled.

And if there were no serious conflicts of interest, both would take a step back to ensure that the situation did not become uncontrollable.

Soon Mimi collected the remaining five tons of metal ingots into the house, and then it found a slightly level place to land, letting the bottom of the house hit the ground with a boom, becoming a normal-looking wooden house.

Subsequently, a series of clanging sounds came from inside the room. Through the glass windows on the first floor, one could see the floor of the inner hall closing rapidly, the furniture that had been moved away in advance returning to their original positions one after another, and a large number of Magic mechanisms under the floor also making crisp sounds as they filled back in.

The door opened, and a warm and bright room hall welcomed Jier and Yamila to enter again.

Yamila giggled as she deactivated the invisibility of her Cloak, skipping into the house. She tossed her Cloak and Boots aside, and excitedly lay down hard on the fur recliner, letting out a moan of comfort and ease. She stretched, and her whole body slumped onto the recliner.

Jier then walked into the hall. After entering the hall, he paused for a moment, looked meaningfully in the direction under the hall floor, and then walked slowly toward the chair in the middle.

He was a bit confused: where did those tens of tons of metal ingots, which were actually much heavier than the entire weight of the house, go?

"Mimi, why is there a metallic smell in the air? Ventilate quickly! Open all the windows and send some wind into the hall!"

As soon as Yamila came in, she smelled the rust of the metal ingots that had just been moved. She wrinkled her nose, and while lazily using Magic Hand to pick up the Lemon Flower Tea, she shouted loudly.

Mimi obediently opened all the windows leading directly to the hall and cast Magic on the windows on both sides of the hall, while forcefully extracting the air with the metallic smell from the hall, and while trying hard to send fresh air from outside into the room through the windows, soon dissipating the thick metallic smell in the hall.

Jier still placed his Dwarf Soldier Spear on the weapon rack by the wall, then he unbuckled the 【Heart Fire】 Magic Dagger from his waist and placed it on the wooden table in the middle of the hall: "I'll trouble you with this. The Magic Power of this Magic Dagger has been severely consumed due to combat. I don't know how much money it takes to fill it up, but no matter how I think about it, those metal ingots are definitely enough, right? Especially at a time like this."

Yamila hadn't even looked at the Magic Dagger yet, but she patted her chest and guaranteed: "Of course, of course! They are definitely enough. Isn't it just a Magic Dagger? I have three sets of Magic Daggers myself. Which Magic Apprentice doesn't have a set of these things?"

But the big talk in her mouth stopped as soon as she picked up the Magic Dagger in Jier's hand.

Yamila was first incredulous, then she rubbed her eyes, and then carefully touched the Magic Red Gem in the middle of the 【Heart Fire】 Magic Dagger with her hand.

"This thing... is actually a Magic weapon made by a Formal Mage? Is it really that exaggerated? Are the Mages of your Saint Hors Kingdom all this casual? Can Magic weapons of this level be given away so casually?"

Yamila looked as if she were re-recognizing this Magic Dagger. When she first saw Jier, she had seen this Magic Dagger hanging on Jier's metal belt.

But she hadn't paid attention to it at the time, thinking it was at the same level as the Magic Dagger she used.

It was only after she personally touched it that she realized this thing was the work of a Formal Mage.

The blade of this Magic Dagger used Ancient Sedimentary Lava, and after being modified by Magic Power, it was not only extremely hard but also covered with tiny Magic Power guiding cavities inside, making it convenient for the Magic Red Gem in the center of the Dagger to release simple and direct Magic.

Moreover, 【Heart Fire】 did not use common Magic crystals to store Magic Power, but rather, the Magic Power storage and the control Magic array were all crafted just right inside this Magic Red Gem.

Not to mention anything else, just this feat was something Yamila could not do at all. Even now, when she makes Magic Tools, she still has to use special Magic crystals to store Magic Power to drive the Magic Tools.

Furthermore, the handle of the Dagger also features preventative measures to keep the user from being harmed by the Magic Dagger's own Magic Power. These things are hidden, and the user does not feel these subtle details while using it, but Yamila could feel a great many differences.

Many of the Magic Tools she makes herself never pay attention to these details; it is possible for the user to be injured by the Magic Power attacks they release through the Magic Tool themselves. But the Heart Fire Magic Dagger would not have such an awkward situation.

"What a great item. Just imitating these designs would take me several days. There are some things I hadn't even thought of!" Yamila excitedly fiddled with Jier's Magic Dagger.

"Hey, hey, hey, just look at it! If you're going to recharge it, just recharge it; why do you look like you want to take it apart to study it!" Jier was anxious. This thing is a major supplement to his combat methods, very useful for regular fighting or arson, and it even has a big ultimate move that can deal with some difficult enemies.

Yamila waved her hand, saying nonsense: "Oh, I'm studying it to find a way to recharge it! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

Then she found it: "What, it's actually this simple? I thought it had to be recharged directly through the Magic Red Gem, but it turns out the designer considered this early on; you can simply recharge it by holding the Dagger's handle..."

Yamila fell silent as she said this, because she realized that she had never thought of this convenient design; her own Magic Daggers all required her to slowly disassemble the Magic Crystals inside the Dagger after a battle to recharge them.

Yet the Magic Dagger designed by others allows the user to recharge while fighting, as long as they possess Magic Power, simply by holding the handle during battle.

And after Yamila gripped the Dagger's handle with both hands to recharge it, her expression changed: "No, Jier! This Magic Power storage capacity—you're ripping me off! What a loss! What a loss! Just filling it up will cost at least twenty Ogle Gold Coins worth of Magic Power!"

But despite saying that, Yamila had no intention of letting go. With a sour face, she quickly channeled the Magic Power stored in the special Magic Power tissues of her body into the Heart Fire Dagger.

Jier saw that Yamila's pair of slender white forearms were visibly emitting a magical glow due to the large amount of Magic Power passing through, and the originally dim red gem at the center of the Heart Fire Magic Dagger gradually became brighter.

Eventually, this red gem became dazzling, and a sense of danger seemed to emanate from within, making Jier instinctively lean back.

"Truly terrifying. I poured in half of my Magic Power, and that's only just filled it. Phew, a losing deal; this time I've lost big."

Yamila complained, but halfway through, she laughed again: "But it's not exactly a loss; after all, I've learned some Magic Tool crafting techniques from this dagger! Hey, I must quickly record these practical techniques so I don't forget them."

The Magic Dagger was tossed casually to Jier by Yamila, but Jier scrambled to catch it because the Heart Fire Magic Dagger was now filled with dangerous Magic Power, and Jier's intuition told him that the dagger felt far more dangerous now than when he had officially received it from Kendall Baron.

Jier thought that perhaps after Kendall Baron obtained the Magic Dagger, he had privately tested the weapon's power to know what to expect. It is also possible that since the item was made by the creator, it was charged with Magic Power at the factory, but it had likely not been used once in a long time before it fell into Jier's hands.

The Magic Power inside the Magic Red Gem was likely consumed bit by bit over the long passage of time.

By the time Jier used it for official combat, its energy reserves were likely not very full?

Both guesses were very reasonable, and it was even possible that both were true at the same time.

Jier shook his head; the past was in the past, and guessing was useless. He carefully put the dagger back on his right waist and fixed it into the dagger sheath.

"Next, I have some things I need your help looking at. I previously defeated an enemy who had some small magic trinkets on him, but most were damaged in the battle. I hope you can see if there is any possibility of repairing them? If not, what is their respective value?"

Jier took out a few items from his person; these were the Magic Tools left behind by the King of White Wall after he had defeated the White Stone City Wall.
