Chapter 109: CH109

Helag followed up with a few more sword strikes. Leaving an enemy alive was a recipe for disaster.

After confirming the masked man's death, Helag searched the body.

The masked man didn't have a spatial ring, only a backpack with the storage capacity of a large water tank, a low-level storage item.

Inside, Helag found his Voodoo Doll, some low-quality healing potions, and several gold deposit slips from the Kingdom of Doris's treasury.

The deposit slips totaled over thirty thousand gold coins.

These were useless to Helag, as redeeming them required identity verification, which could lead to trouble. It wasn't worth it for thirty thousand gold coins.

The rest were miscellaneous items, with the Voodoo Doll being the most valuable.

After collecting the loot, Helag used a small fireball spell to burn the body.

"How did he find me?" Helag wondered, unsure where he had slipped up. But with the man dead, there was no way to ask.

After dealing with the body, Helag resumed his journey.

He bought a horse in a village along the way and continued traveling.

It would take two days on horseback to reach Ryan City. Walking was too slow and risky.

Unfortunately, he had killed the masked man's horse, which would have been faster.

An hour after Helag left, the chubby Calis arrived at the scene, muttering, "That kid is really something."

***

Two days later, Helag returned to Ryan City.

Inside the city, Helag could relax a bit.

Wizards rarely fought in cities populated by ordinary people, as collateral damage could cause significant trouble.

Rogue wizard apprentices, lacking backing, were even less likely to cause trouble in cities.

Helag went straight to the Lord's castle. After being announced, Elisa's knight commander, Levant, personally escorted him inside.

Levant, as always, had a stern expression and remained highly vigilant around Helag.

"You're back so soon?" Elisa was lounging on her bed, surrounded by black veils.

She wore a small tank top, showing off her figure.

Helag couldn't help but feel the tank top's straps might snap under the pressure.

"Here's the Moonstone Grass, two pieces as agreed. This one's yours," Helag said, handing over a piece of Moonstone Grass from a wooden box.

"How much did it cost?" Elisa asked curiously.

Helag replied seriously, "A lot. I nearly spent all the gold you gave me. Moonstone Grass is rare, and they jacked up the price."

"Really? I heard it wasn't that expensive," Elisa said skeptically.

"I don't know, but it was costly. By the way, what do you need it for? Can you make potions?" Helag asked.

He had always wondered why a novice wizard apprentice like Elusa needed such high-grade potion ingredients.

Elisa said, "I heard that drinking water infused with Moonstone Grass can keep you young and delay aging."

"I've never heard of that," Helag said, recalling his herbology books.

"You powerful wizards can stay young naturally, so you wouldn't care about such things," Elisa said enviously. She had worked hard to become a wizard apprentice, mainly to maintain her appearance.

She had seen her great-grandfather, Dino, over a hundred years old, still looking in his thirties, and naturally wanted to become a wizard.

But her poor aptitude meant she barely managed to become a wizard apprentice, even with Dino's help.

With no hope of further advancement, Elisa sought various ways to maintain her looks.

Approaching thirty, she became even more obsessed with preserving her beauty.

Dino had told her about Moonstone Grass's anti-aging properties, which most wizards ignored as irrelevant.

Ordinary people couldn't afford it, so few knew about it.

"Deep Blue, does Moonstone Grass delay aging?" Helag asked.

[According to data and database search, Moonstone Grass has anti-aging properties,] Deep Blue confirmed.

"So it's true," Helag thought, surprised.

"Bring it to me," Elisa said, lying down casually.

Helag took the Moonstone Grass and walked over, handing it through the black veil.

Elisa took it but then grabbed Helag's hand, tracing his palm with her fingers, making him feel ticklish.

"If you spent all your gold on Moonstone Grass, how about I give you a different reward?" Elisa said seductively.

Helag pulled aside the veil and climbed onto the bed, pinning Elisa down. "You're playing with fire."

Elisa, unfazed, wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "Dry wood needs a blazing fire."

***

The night passed quickly, with Helag and Elisa in each other's arms.

Helag felt no fatigue, while Elisa slept from exhaustion.

"Hmm?" Helag suddenly felt something strange.

"So this is the true use of Starry Sky Potion?" he realized.

He began meditating, finding his speed much faster than when he took the potion.

Unfortunately, this speed was due to accumulated potion effects, released all at once, and couldn't be maintained daily.

Some potion effects had remained dormant in Helag's body, activated by the night's activities.

"While this is effective, I can't do this every day. But I can store the effects and release them weekly, which seems more reasonable," Helag thought.

The dormant potion effects could be stored and released in one go.

Helag seized this opportunity to meditate, not wasting any chance to improve himself.

 


Chapter 110: CH110

Helag's meditation session lasted eight hours, yielding results equivalent to a week of meditating with the Starry Sky Potion.

Originally, he needed over a month to complete the eighth star meditation, but now it would only take about a month.

When Helag opened his eyes, it was already evening. Elisa, seeing him meditating, didn't disturb him. Instead, she got dressed and arranged for some food.

She had expected Helag to finish by noon and had placed some food in the room.

However, Helag meditated until evening, so the food had cooled and was taken away, with preparations for dinner starting instead.

"You really work hard," Elisa said, sitting by the bed as Helag woke up.

She wore a low-cut dress, barely covering her hips.

Helag felt a stir within him. "If I hadn't looked at you, I would've finished my daily meditation last night."

"Did I force you to look?" Elisa retorted playfully.

Helag thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes."

Elisa was momentarily stunned, then playfully punched Helag.

***

After having dinner at the Lord's castle, Helag left. Elisa tried to persuade him to stay, but he refused.

While he was naturally inclined to stay and indulge, Helag didn't want to waste too much time on such activities.

With the Moonstone Grass obtained, Larry's task was complete. Now, he just had to wait for news from Moonlight Forest.

Once things settled there, he could return.

Being outside had too many inconveniences. At least Moonlight Forest was safe.

He could access any knowledge he wanted and had ample resources as long as he had enough magic stones.

For wizard apprentices, wizard organizations provided a relatively stable training environment.

Returning to his courtyard, Helag found Ed diligently trimming the lawn.

Hearing the door, Ed looked up and ran over excitedly. "Master, you're back."

"Yes," Helag replied, continuing to his room.

Judy also came running, her hands wet from washing clothes.

Helag noticed the clean surroundings, showing they regularly cleaned meticulously.

Inside, Helag began sorting his gains: a piece of Moonstone Grass, a frozen Stone Giant's heart, and the Ice Spike spell model.

These were valuable, especially the frozen Stone Giant's heart, crucial for Helag.

Now, he just needed to meditate until his mental strength met the requirements for advancing to a third-level wizard apprentice, and then he could make the Dawn Dusk Potion.

Making the Dawn Dusk Potion wasn't much more complex than the Dawn Potion. With higher mental strength now, Helag felt more confident.

He also planned to learn the Ice Spike spell. More spells meant more options, always beneficial.

His battle with the masked man highlighted the advantage of having multiple spells.

Just his three shields had troubled the masked man. Most wizard apprentices didn't have the time or energy to master three shield spells.

However, for Helag, analyzing the ancient slate was also crucial.

One major discovery from this trip was the true use of the Starry Sky Potion.

Helag realized it needed to be combined with certain activities to release its full potential.

He planned to accumulate at least seven days' worth of potion effects, and then visit Elisa to release them.

Since Elisa was a first-level wizard apprentice, her body was stronger than an ordinary person's, able to handle his boundless energy.

To avoid leaving offspring, Helag used magic to contain certain things.

He suspected Elisa's intentions might be related to this, trying to conceive a child with wizard potential.

Helag's wizard aptitude was decent, and Elisa had some wizard potential. Their offspring would likely have wizard potential.

But Helag was cautious, ensuring Elisa's plans would fail.

After inventorying his gains, Helag resumed his usual training routine.

Daily, he took the Starry Sky Potion and meditated, visiting Elisa every seven days.

He continued analyzing the ancient slate and had Deep Blue construct the Ice Spike spell model, adding another offensive spell to his arsenal.

***

Twenty days later.

"Deep Blue, scan my body data."

[Helag Merlin: Strength 4.8, Agility 4.9, Constitution 6.1, Spirit 13.5, Magic 100%.]

Completing the eighth star meditation, Helag's stats improved again. 

His mental strength was close to the third-level wizard apprentice standard, but Helag wasn't in a rush to advance.

With the Starry Sky Meditation Technique, he could complete two more star meditations before advancing, ensuring his mental strength exceeded 15 points, increasing his success rate.

Life in Ryan City was peaceful. Helag spent his days meditating, making potions, and visiting Elisa to release the Starry Sky Potion's effects.

Elisa gifted him the house, which he later learned was part of her property.

***

Half a year passed quickly, and Helag turned sixteen, marking his third year in this world.

[Helag Merlin: Strength 6.7, Agility 6.3, Constitution 7.8, Spirit 16.8, Magic 100%.]

Helag completed the tenth star meditation, lighting up all ten points on the dot matrix in his mind.

He then understood the dot matrix's function.

Once all points were lit, it could store 50% of Helag's total magic.

This acted like a magic storage tool, giving Helag access to 150% of his usable magic.

This was a significant boost for Helag, benefiting him in battles, potion-making, and Deep Blue's various tasks requiring magic.

The dot matrix's storage capacity would increase with Helag's strength. The magic stored at 16 mental strength differed from that at 20, but the dot matrix would adjust accordingly.

This was just one dot matrix. Helag imagined having ten or a hundred, providing nearly limitless magic.

Helag began contemplating combat strategies leveraging the dot matrix's effects.
