Chapter 125: Shouldn't the Development Stage be Over?
The entire panel glowed with a beautiful green light, but only a single skill icon flickered, indicating Basic Meditation Technique lv1 (12/100).
Not a single attack skill was available.
This left Rain with a bittersweet feeling.
After a fortunate coincidence, he had triggered the Extraordinary Apprentice Mage profession, but without any knowledge of sorcery, this extraordinary panel was currently just a name.
Compared to the Extraordinary Knight profession, the combat power was worlds apart.
However, when Rain checked his Spirit attribute, he found that it had increased to 15 points, soothing his wounded spirit. After all, his Spirit attribute was crucial to the power and duration of many of his core skills.
For example, 'Power Surge' was directly related to Rain's Constitution and Spirit.
Similarly, the sharpness of 'Danger Sense' was also linked to Rain's Spirit. The stronger his Spirit, the sharper his senses.
So, in this light, Rain had successfully triggered the new extraordinary profession 'Apprentice Mage', which significantly enhanced his original extraordinary profession 'Knight'.
Rain rubbed his chin, feeling a mix of emotions.
Hmm, it was oddly amusing.
Rain carefully recalled the situation, remembering Endrie, the chatty fellow whom Hamilton had referred to as a Level 1 Apprentice Mage. It seemed that he was at the same level as Rain, unable to cast spells independently and relying solely on rare sorcery scrolls or other items to perform spells.
Was Endrie just incompetent, or were there other conditions to meet? After some thought, Rain began his first meditation practice as an Apprentice Mage.
Perhaps due to his Spirit attribute reaching 15 points, Rain effortlessly visualized nine Will Runes in one go, with some energy to spare.
However, Rain didn't rush to visualize the tenth Will Rune. Instead, he followed the practice method and began to sense and attempt to guide the stray energy particles around him.
Closing his eyes, Rain focused all his senses and slowly felt the various mysterious energy particles in the surrounding space. This feeling was peculiar and hard to describe in words.
But sensing was one thing, and trying to guide these energy particles was another.
After several attempts, Rain finally discovered an energy particle that seemed more responsive to him.
Rain opened his eyes and tried to guide this energy particle to gather around his palm.
A faintly dim red glow appeared on Rain's palm skin, barely noticeable unless one looked closely. This phenomenon lasted only a few seconds before the red glow disappeared without a trace.
However, Rain wasn't discouraged; instead, he felt a surge of joy.
After all, being able to visually observe such a magical change with his naked eye was still exciting for Rain.
"Next, I just need to follow the steps for visualizing the subsequent Will Runes to further enhance my Spirit. At the same time, I'll continue trying to guide the stray energy particles."
"Unfortunately, I don't have any beginner-level sorcery to learn," Rain thought to himself.
It was like owning a mountain of gold but having nowhere to spend it.
It was similar to learning the Giant Bear Swordsmanship without any battle techniques.
This reminded Rain of when Clara taught him the Grizzly Sword Technique and the Grizzly Breath Technique. Having a guide was indeed beneficial.
At this moment, Rain felt like a wild mage, figuring out everything on his own.
Unfortunately, Hamilton was a staunch Knightist, and Rain had to rely on his own ingenuity for most things.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Rain's mind, and he muttered:
"To further break the dog's shackles and increase the chances of entering a ferocious state, try a daily nutritional meal as a base, plus two fluid ounces of Mutagenic Growth Potion every month."
"That's right, this is it, Rain nodded, this is the way, the Mutagenic Growth Potion formula: one ounce of gold marigold, two wings of a nocturnal vampire bat, and two claws of a carrion wolf."
At this moment, Rain was trying to decipher the latter part of the formula, which he couldn't understand before.
(Arcadian) Chant during preparation.
"This seems like a feasible path, but I need to solve two problems. First, I need to continue learning Arcadian, as my vocabulary is insufficient. And it's not enough to know the words; I also need to learn how to chant them!"
"Secondly, I need to purchase the necessary materials. Perhaps only the 'Bat Market' in County City can solve this problem. 'Wings of a nocturnal vampire bat' and 'Claws of a carrion wolf' are not the kind of things that a regular potion shop would sell."
Just as Rain was deep in thought, a slightly hurried knock sounded at his door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Is Rain home?"
Hmm, that's Mateo's voice.
Rain hurriedly went downstairs and opened the door, just in time to hear Matteo say, "Rain, Sir Hamilton wants you to go to the town's government hall immediately. The investigation team from the county city has arrived to look into the Malefic Knights in the Night Song Forest."
"Oh, and Rain, Sir Hamilton also asked me to inform that barbarian girl, Ragle. She should be staying on your side, right? Can you let her know for me?"
"Sure! I'll be right there. I'll inform Ragle," Rain replied after a moment's thought.
"Alright, then I have some things to prepare. I'll be off first." Matteo gave Rain a friendly thump on his sturdy chest as a greeting and then quickly left.
Rain's appointment as Deputy Sheriff had not yet been approved by the county city, otherwise, Matteo wouldn't have been so casual about it.
However, Rain quite enjoyed his current state.
If someone familiar were to see him, they might feel restrained, which would make him a little uncomfortable.
Although he had just unlocked the new extraordinary panel of the Apprentice Mage, Rain wanted to study it carefully. But since he had promised Ragle, he couldn't go back on his word.
So, picking up the unpatched Knight Helm and donning the five-piece set of Knight Plate Armor, Rain headed out with the Radiant Greatsword sheathed in a sheepskin package.
Rain turned left after leaving and arrived at Anna's doorstep. He knocked on the door.
Soon, Anna opened the door, and seeing Rain, she was delighted.
Yesterday, they had both experienced the Will Trial together, and the scene was still fresh in Anna's mind. When she recalled how Rain had protected her, a sweetness filled her heart.
She hadn't told Ragle about this, keeping it as her little secret.
"Rain, what brings you here? Are you going out on a mission?" Anna asked, noticing Rain's full armor.
"Yes, I'll be heading to the Night Song Forest with the county city's investigation team later. By the way, Anna, is Ragle here?" Rain nodded, confirming Anna's guess.
"She is." Hearing that Rain was looking for Ragle, Anna felt a little disappointed.
She had thought Rain was coming to discuss some insights about the Basic Meditation Technique.
Last night, she had seriously practiced the technique and could now visualize six Will Runes at once, just two steps away from the goal of eight.
"Rain, are you looking for me?" Ragle, familiar with Rain and Anna's voices, emerged from the bedroom in a sleepy state, wearing a thin sleepwear that revealed her voluptuous and vibrant figure to Rain.
This caught Anna's attention, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances. Then, she lowered her head and clenched her small, fair hands.
"Ahem, Ragle, the investigation team from the county city is here to deal with the Malefic Knights. 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 finally sent someone?" Ragle was stunned, her beautiful eyes wide.
She seemed to have just realized the situation and quickly turned to rush back into the bedroom, saying, "Three minutes, I'll be ready in no time."
Soon, Ragle emerged in a combat-ready outfit, wearing a short-sleeved chainmail overcoat with a leather-backed vest, and her rounded figure was accentuated by the tight-fitting attire.
Rain took only a glance and felt that Ragle's figure was even more stunning than the first time he had met her.
Shouldn't Ragle have already passed her developmental stage?
"Hey, Ragle, did you repair your shield?" Rain exclaimed in surprise.
He noticed that Ragle 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 iron rim.
"Yes! Although I couldn't find yew wood, I managed to repair the shield with oak wood instead," Ragle said, turning to show Rain the shield on her back.
Rain then remembered that Ragle was not only a barbarian warrior but also a skilled blacksmith.
For her, repairing a shield was a simple task as long as she had the right materials.
Indeed, upon closer inspection, Rain noticed that the wood grain on a large section was slightly different from the rest, and there was also a slight color difference. However, unless one looked closely, it was hardly noticeable.
After bidding farewell to Anna, Rain and Ragle made their way to the government hall.
When they arrived, they saw a team with a mixed style waiting at the entrance.
Among them, four knights in bright silver armor and white cloaks stood out.
Their armor was adorned with intricate patterns, distinct from the typical style of knight plate armor. Additionally, on their chests, there was a prominent golden emblem depicting a long-dress maiden standing atop waves, blowing a horn.
