Chapter 2636: Chapter 1144: Searching for Treasure While Guarding Treasure (Part 2)

The large misty hand respectfully handed the Air Glass Shield to Philancy and then dissipated into thin air, reforming into mist that harmlessly entwined around the legendary arcanist.

After Philancy took the Air Glass Shield, clamps of the same material immediately popped out and secured themselves on her left arm.

The legendary arcanist casually swung it a few times, visibly showing that she had received training in this area, and the shield defense was quite skilled.

The Air Glass Shield has three clamps: two are fixed on the arm, and one for easy grasping with the left hand.

Even relying solely on the two on the arm could secure it firmly, effectively freeing the left hand to perform many spellcasting actions.

Although it was somewhat affected, it was far less than an ordinary shield.

Many spellcasters do not wear shields because the weight and handling of shields severely interfere with spellcasting actions, leading to potential spellcasting failure.

This Air Glass Shield, both in shape and weight, greatly mitigated this problem.

But that’s not all.

Only to see the Air Glass Shield glow with magical aura, the entire shield started to twist and transform, directly turning into a crystal-clear wrist guard, wrapping around the legendary arcanist’s left hand, protecting half of the forearm.

If one was unaware, they couldn’t associate this wrist guard with glass, but rather would consider it made of crystal.

The smile at the corner of Philancy’s mouth was like an AK rifle muzzle, unable to be suppressed, as she laughed and said, "This new material’s magic compatibility is even better than I imagined. It can serve not only as the core material for magic flying devices but also as a material for binding containers."

As she spoke, the Air Glass wrist guard had already slipped off her hand, transformed back into an Air Glass Shield, and was casually tossed to Gaven.

After receiving the Air Glass Shield, Gaven could distinctly feel its residual warmth. The first thing he did was swing it a few times.

The first impression was its lightness, surprisingly light, with a total weight definitely not exceeding a kilogram.

For a shield, this weight was almost negligible; even a short sword would weigh more than this.

Gaven eagerly scrutinized its magical attributes.

Light Spirit (Special Ability): This shield’s weight is significantly reduced.

Absolute Defense (Special Ability): Damage Reduction 10/∞.

Dual Form (Special Ability): The shield can freely switch between wrist guard and shield forms.

This shield is a simplified version of his Crown Shield, with no less defense and greater lightness.

The key point is, the Crown Shield is irreplicable.

Whereas, this type of shield was casually crafted by a legendary arcanist, not at its peak state, and potentially mass-producible.

If his army, each person wielded such a shield, their combat effectiveness would soar.

Moreover, its application is not limited to shields; what if applied to armor or weapons?

With this shield as a comparison, it’s not hard to understand why the legendary arcanist continuously chastises them for wasting resources, they’ve really been treating gold like scrap metal.

This mental shock was something Gaven naturally couldn’t selfishly keep to himself, so he directly tossed the Air Glass Shield to others present to pass around.

Everyone present was already stunned by the legendary arcanist’s previous performance, dumbstruck.

This mastery over magic force, akin to directing one’s own limbs, was absolutely unattainable by an ordinary mage, not even by a legendary mage.

In their impression, mages were a powerful yet rigid class, only capable of casting pre-prepared spells.

With sufficient preparation, they were nearly invincible.

But when inadequately prepared, they became extremely vulnerable.

Philancy’s current situation completely surpassed their understanding.

Sha’no, after receiving the Air Glass Shield from Gaven, directly announced its attributes in public.

Every time an attribute was mentioned, everyone present couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

They were not only excellent warriors but also part of the ruling class. What Gaven had just thought of, they had thought of as well.

"Ms. Philancy is right. We indeed have been wasting resources before. Who would’ve thought that what we deemed as byproducts are actually the most valuable merchandise in Colossus City," Sha’no remarked with feeling.

Giharin couldn’t help but argue, "The same material, in different hands, holds different value. It’s Ms. Philancy’s powerful spellcasting ability that endowed it with greater value."

"The clan leader’s point is not entirely correct." Philancy retorted, "Your impression that I’ve performed powerful magic comes from my impromptu execution.

In a well-equipped magic laboratory, if you grasp the corresponding magic formula, even a low-level magic apprentice can produce it, potentially with better effects, because the most crucial attribute is innate to this material.

If you were given a piece of inferior iron, could you forge a powerful magic sword?"

"I see, my understanding was indeed off," Giharin readily admitted his mistake.

Gaven seized the moment to say, "From now on, Air Glass will be classified as a strategic resource for the territory. Every usage must go through a special archival application. Do you all have any objections to this policy?"

"No objections."

"That’s as it should be."

Everyone expressed agreement, with only Sha’no hesitating for a moment, asking, "Master, what about the greenhouses in Colossus City? We haven’t even completed half of the initial plan."
