Chapter 125: Shouldn't I Be Past the Growth Spurt?
The entire panel shimmered with a beautiful green glow, but only a single skill icon flickered—the Basic Meditation Technique lv1 (12/100).
Not a single attack skill in sight.
This left Rain with a peculiar feeling of mixed emotions.
After a fortuitous trigger of the Arcane Apprentice (Beyond Mortal) profession panel, he found himself in a peculiar situation. Due to his lack of knowledge in any wizardry, this Beyond Mortal panel seemed like an empty title.
Compared to the Knight (Beyond Mortal) profession panel, his combat prowess was worlds apart.
However, when Rain checked his Spirit attribute, he found it had increased to 15 points, soothing his wounded spirit. After all, his Spirit attribute was closely tied to the power and duration of many of his core skills.
For instance, 'Power Surge' was directly linked to Rain's Physique and Spirit attributes.
Similarly, the sharpness of his 'Danger Sense' was correlated with his Spirit attribute; the stronger his mental power, the sharper his perception.
From this perspective, Rain's successful trigger of the new Beyond Mortal profession, Arcane Apprentice, had indirectly enhanced the power of his original Beyond Mortal profession, Knight.
Rain stroked his chin, feeling a mix of emotions.
Hmm, it was oddly amusing.
Rain carefully recalled the man Hamilton had referred to as a Level 1 Arcane Apprentice, Endrie, the chatty fellow. It seemed they were on the same level.
Endrie appeared incapable of casting wizardry independently and could only rely on rare wizardry scrolls or other items to perform spells.
Was Endrie just incompetent, or were there other conditions to meet? Rain pondered this as he began his first meditation session as an Arcane Apprentice.
Perhaps due to his Spirit attribute reaching 15 points, Rain effortlessly visualized nine Will Runes in one go, with energy to spare.
However, Rain didn't rush to visualize the tenth Will Rune. Instead, he followed the instructions and began to sense and attempt to guide the stray energy particles around him.
Closing his eyes, Rain focused his perception and gradually became aware of various mystical energy particles in the surrounding space. This feeling was hard to describe in words.
Sensing these particles was one thing, but guiding them was another challenge.
After several attempts, Rain finally discovered a type of energy particle that seemed more responsive to his commands.
Opening his eyes, Rain tried to concentrate these particles around his palm.
A faint, barely noticeable red glow emanated from Rain's palm skin. Unless one looked closely, it was almost imperceptible. This effect lasted only a few seconds before the red glow vanished without a trace.
But Rain wasn't discouraged; instead, he felt a surge of excitement.
After all, to witness such a mystical change with his naked eye during his first attempt at guiding energy was thrilling.
"Next, I just need to follow the instructions for visualizing the remaining Will Runes to enhance my mental power. Simultaneously, I'll continue attempting to guide these stray energy particles."
"Unfortunately, I don't have any beginner-level wizardry to learn," Rain thought to himself.
It was like owning a mountain of gold but having nowhere to spend it.
It was akin to learning the Knight Breath Technique without any combat skills.
This reminded Rain of Krya teaching him the Bear Breath Technique and Bear Sword Technique. Having a mentor made all the difference.
Now, he felt like a lone wild wizard, figuring everything out on his own.
Unfortunately, Hamilton was a staunch Knightist, making it inappropriate to seek his guidance on wizardry matters.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Rain's mind. He seemed to recall something, and he muttered:
"To enhance the possibility of a dog's breakthrough and transformation into a ferocious state, consider a daily nutrition-rich diet supplemented by a monthly dose of 2 fluid ounces of Mutagenic Growth Potion."
"That's it! The Mutagenic Growth Potion!"
Rain quickly opened the Silver Tome and turned to the page on dog enhancement. "Mutagenic Growth Potion recipe: 1 ounce of Golden Marigold, 1 pair of Nocturnal Vampire Bat wings, and 2 Carrion Wolf claws."
At this moment, Rain attempted to decipher the latter part of the recipe, which he had previously struggled to understand.
(Arcadian) Chant during preparation.
"This seems like a viable path, but I need to solve two issues. First, I must continue learning Arcadian, as my vocabulary is insufficient. Moreover, I can't just mouth the words; I need to learn to chant them!"
"Secondly, I need to acquire the necessary materials. Perhaps only the 'Bat Market' in the county city can provide items like 'Nocturnal Vampire Bat wings.' These aren't the type of ingredients one would find in a regular apothecary."
As Rain pondered these thoughts, a rapid knock sounded at his door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Rain, are you home?"
Hmm? It was the short Matteo.
Rain hurriedly rushed downstairs and opened the door, just as Matteo was saying, "Rain, Lord Hamilton asked you to go to the town hall immediately. The investigation team from the county city has arrived regarding the Demon Knight incident in Nocturne Forest."
"Oh, and Rain, Lord Hamilton also asked me to inform that barbarian girl, Lagra. She should be staying on your side, right? Could you let her know for me?"
"Sure! I'll be right there. I'll inform Lagra," Rain replied after a moment's thought.
"Alright! I still have some things to prepare, so I'll take my leave first."
Matteo smiled and gave Rain a hearty thump on his sturdy chest as a greeting, then quickly departed.
Rain's appointment as Deputy Sheriff had not yet been approved by the county city, otherwise, Matteo wouldn't have been so casual.
However, Rain was quite enjoying his current state.
When people he knew saw him, they became restrained, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Although he had just unlocked the new supernatural panel of Arcane Apprentice, Rain wanted to study it carefully. But since he had promised Lagra, he couldn't go back on his word.
So, he picked up the slightly damaged Knight Helm that hadn't been repaired yet, donned the five-piece set of Knight Plate Armor, and headed out with the Radiant Greatsword sheathed in a sheepskin package.
Rain turned left after leaving and arrived at Anna's doorstep, knocking on the door.
Soon, Anna opened the door, and seeing Rain, she was delighted.
The correct version is available at 6+Book Bar!
The day before, she and Rain had gone through the Willpower Trial together. The scene was still fresh in her mind, and when Anna recalled how Rain had protected her, her heart filled with sweetness.
She hadn't told Lagra about this, keeping it as her little secret.
"Rain, why are you here? Are you going out on a mission?" Anna asked, glancing at Rain's fully armed appearance.
"Yeah, later I'll be going to Nocturne Forest with the investigation team from the county city. Oh, and Anna, is Lagra here?" Rain nodded, confirming Anna's guess.
"She's here." Hearing that Rain had come to find Lagra, Anna felt a little disappointed.
She had thought Rain was coming to exchange some insights about Basic Meditation Technique.
After all, the night before, she had diligently practiced the Basic Meditation Technique, and now she could already visualize six Will Runes at once, just two steps away from the eight Will Runes.
"Rain, are you looking for me?" Lagra's familiar voice came from the room.
Apparently having heard Rain and Anna's voices, Lagra emerged from the bedroom, her eyes still sleepy, wearing a thin sleepwear that revealed her voluptuous and lively figure to Rain.
This caused Anna to take a few extra glances, and then she looked down at herself, her fair hands clenching tightly.
"Ahem, Lagra, the investigation team from the county city is here regarding the Demon Knight incident. If you want to join them, you'll need to get ready quickly," Rain coughed, slightly averting his gaze.
"Huh? You mean the county city team has finally arrived?" Lagra was stunned, her beautiful eyes wide.
Seemingly just realizing the situation, she quickly turned and rushed back into the bedroom, saying, "Three minutes, I'll be ready in no time."
Soon, Lagra came out wearing a short-sleeved lock armor vest with a leather armor vest underneath, ready for combat. Her two round, fair thighs were impressively toned.
Rain took only a glance to notice that Lagra's figure was even more explosive than when he had first met her.
Shouldn't Lagra have already passed her developmental stage?
"Hey, Lagra, your shield is fixed!"
Rain was surprised to find that Lagra had a shield on her back, almost identical to her previous one. It was made of thick wood with a palm-sized convex iron plate in the center, surrounded by a narrow strip of iron.
"Yes! Although I couldn't find any yew wood, I found a large enough oak piece, so I used that to repair the shield," Lagra turned slightly, allowing Rain to clearly see the shield on her back.
Only then did Rain remember that Lagra was not only a barbarian warrior but also an advanced blacksmith.
For her, repairing a shield was a simple task as long as she had the right materials.
Indeed, upon closer inspection, Rain noticed a large piece of wood with a slightly different grain and color, but it was barely noticeable unless one looked carefully.
The two bid farewell to Anna and headed towards the town hall.
When Rain and Lagra arrived at the town hall, they saw a team with a mixed style waiting outside.
Among them, four knights in bright silver armor and white cloaks stood out. Their armor was adorned with intricate patterns, distinct from ordinary knight plate armor. Additionally, on their chests was a prominent golden emblem depicting a woman standing on a wave, blowing a horn.
Many friends might have missed the previous chapter's message.
Today's second chapter is a bit late due to my physical discomfort, o(╥﹏╥)o, my apologies.
