But I’m short on funds, and need to constantly go on adventures to afford transcribing spells, not to mention other expenses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having a wife like that is truly enviable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Loren, did you start practicing from this Magic Trick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mr. Raine, you should give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you can accurately sketch human figures, I think Mr. Raine will feel the progress in spiritual power, though the process will be quite long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Loren.\" Raine nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re welcome. By the way, Mr. Raine, I’ve heard that after you become a Black Iron Level Adventurer or a proper Mage from a Mage Tower, there are Meditation Techniques that, although requiring accumulated practice, can enhance spiritual power much faster than practicing Magic Tricks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meditation Technique?\" Raine raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect such a thing actually existed. Even though from Loren’s description, it seems to require long-term practice to enhance spiritual power, any enhancement would considerably boost his combat strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Monster Skills he possesses have power comparable to Third Level Spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is equivalent to spells mastered by a Level 5 Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, his spiritual power can only support this level of attack once, after which he requires a long rest to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could enhance his spiritual power through Meditation Techniques to perform two Third Level Spell Monster Skills in one battle, the boost in combat strength would be substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. Therefore, Mages from Mage Towers, at Classes Level one, can perform three First Level Spells more frequently than we self-taught mages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Mr. Raine, what spells do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, here’s the thing, I initially wanted to memorize the First Level Spell Ice Blade Spell, but I thought a combination of Greasy Spell and Burning Hand might be more useful in the underground mine environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mage Loren’s idea is great. I happen to know Ice Blade Spell and the Trick Freezing Ray.\" Raine nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood why Loren would say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there’s a synergy issue between spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Greasy Spell followed by Burning Hand, oil plus fire would directly produce an effect greater than their individual parts, with power comparable to Second Level Spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas Water Spells paired with Ice Spells are equally formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? You know Ice Blade Spell?\" Wanderer Royce heard this and couldn’t help but speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always thought that in the combination of Raine and Elise, Priest Elise was the mainstay, but now it seemed otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching noon, the carriage arrived at Azure Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather changed from clear to overcast, gradually becoming cloud-covered, with drizzling rain starting to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Raine and his companions stepped into the mine area with exposed yellow soil, several miners seemed to quickly walk under the rain shelter to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine looked around and found that most miners looked dispirited, with pale complexions, appearing worse than last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adventurer, did some fool report the Kobolds again?\" A burly man with a slanting scar on his forehead muttered as he walked over from under a rain shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t I say not to report such small matters to the Adventurer’s Association, damn it, if I find out which guy secretly reported, I’ll beat him to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, because of the distance, others couldn’t hear him, but with Sensitive Hearing Lv2, Raine had already heard the mumbling clearly and recognized his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred man looked impatient initially, but upon seeing the over 1.9-meter-tall Half-Orc and the well-equipped Dwarf Warrior, he seemed to realize that they weren’t low-level Adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately he managed to squeeze out a smile and came forward, saying, \"Gentlemen, how can I assist you? I’m the foreman here, Bonds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are the Gray Dwarves in the mine?\" Half-Orc Karg grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gray Dwarves? What Gray Dwarves?\" Bonds’ eyes twitched, feigning ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karg, let me handle this.\" At this point, the temporary team leader Royce smiled and came forward, saying to Bonds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be nervous, my companion has a bit of a temper; we received a mission from the association saying miners witnessed traces of Gray Dwarves in Azure Mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re here to investigate this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Bonds turned toward the dozens of miners behind him and asked, \"Anyone saw Gray Dwarves? Stand out and tell the Adventurer—yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The miners showed apathetic expressions and shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene made Bonds smile, turning to Royce and saying, \"Look, sir, it must be a miner’s prank; there’s actually no Gray Dwarves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it’s also possible that some coward mistook Kobolds for Gray Dwarves, but you know, Kobolds are the kind of creature that a strong miner can easily kill two of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus, such things are like weeds; even if you kill a batch, soon another will emerge.\" Bonds said, frequently glancing at the graceful and sweet Elise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when his gaze fell on Raine, who wore a Horned Helmet, doubt flashed in his eyes, as if trying to recall something but couldn’t quite remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No?\" Royce didn’t expect this situation and appeared thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely, I can guarantee this, or, adventurers can ask them.\" Bonds patted his chest, assuring again, pointing to the miners behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case... I understand. I’ll discuss with my team.\" Royce nodded, appearing thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the back, Raine had recognized Bonds from the very first moment as the suspicious guy from last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered clearly how Reya reported this situation to Mr. Ramsey, the responsible person at the Mill Town association branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem now is that the guy seems unaffected?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Raine a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mine trip might not go smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The foreman says it’s a miner’s prank or some timid miner mistaking Kobolds for Gray Dwarves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think what he says might be true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the Kingdom’s largest copper mine, if Gray Dwarves were present, these managers would be more anxious than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My thought is to return to Mill Town and confirm with the association; what are your thoughts?\" Royce looked around and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, I was looking forward to smashing those Earthworms’ heads.\" Dwarf Warrior Bruno raised his Warhammer, showing regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karg has no opinion.\" Half-Orc Karg said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karg’s thinking was simple; the promotion task wasn’t for him alone. Whatever others did, he followed. He wouldn’t bother overthinking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren’s lips wriggled as if he wanted to say something but stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine noticed Bonds still watching from afar and said, \"Let’s return to the carriage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Royce understood immediately, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they began walking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, some miners passed them by, and suddenly, one stumbled beside Elise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful, are you okay?\" Kind-hearted Elise immediately tried to help him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine, I’m fine!\" The person waved his hands, seeming somewhat afraid, and quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Elise stopped in her tracks because she found a small stone with a folded note tied around it in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s read it back in the carriage.\" While Elise hesitated, Raine took her by the elbow and led her forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raine had witnessed that scene clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, the miner intended to deliver a secret message, and if they stopped now, Bonds might discover this disclosure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group returned to the large covered wagon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they got on, Elise unfolded the paper. It contained several scribbled words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Gray Dwarves, 13th abandoned mine shaft.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the written message, the group fell into silence within the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The foreman denies it, but a miner secretly informed us. Should we go or not?\" Temporary team leader Royce frowned tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-03T05:04:29.272Z","2026-06-03T05:04:32.834Z",1,"novelbin.me","78b53ee0b5eda92ae90fe0fc00c92eb15a44f88cd46924dc811d22f72d35f8c7","my-skill-bar-is-full-of-monster-skills-chapter-136","my-skill-bar-is-full-of-monster-skills-chapter-283",463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-skill-bar-is-full-of-monster-skills-cover.jpg"]
