Chapter 93: Chapter 88: Extraordinary Measures for Extraordinary Times
The entrance to the base.
Sherman and the two others looked somewhat anxious, occasionally peeking outside.
Next to them, Madeleine and Grell held weapons, their expressions calm.
Around them were numerous Stone Golems.
When leaving the base, to guard against Herb potentially attacking the base, Sunan specially cast Communication Skill to ensure Madeleine and Grell protected the base and apprentices.
A few meters away, more than a dozen newcomers huddled together, looking a bit bewildered.
They had no idea what was happening, suddenly being summoned to this place.
As a result, they weren’t particularly worried and even had the leisure to sneak glances at Madeleine.
Many were curious about the Forest Child whose appearance was so different from humans.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the base’s entrance.
Madeleine and Grell instinctively raised their weapons, relaxing only slightly upon seeing the person’s face and lowering their weapons.
“Teacher!”
Seeing Sunan return safe and sound, Sherman, Attila, and Cole simultaneously sighed in relief and hurried forward.
Upon hearing that the person in front of them was the legendary Wizard, their future teacher, the newcomers were startled and quickly bowed in respect.
“Lord Sunan.”
“Did the newcomers arrive?”
Sunan smiled slightly, offered a few words of encouragement, and waved his hand, saying:
“Alright, everything’s fine now, go about your business.”
“Yes, Teacher.”
Though curious, the three young apprentices obediently retreated.
The newcomers also left with the three seniors.
Sunan turned to look at Madeleine and Grell, nodding, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Madeleine shook her head and silently turned to leave, returning to the Magic Plant Garden.
“I’m glad you’re okay.” Grell smiled and also turned to leave.
“Meow!”
Sunan suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder; Amy appeared out of nowhere, her eyes wide as she asked:
“What happened? I just felt a strong energy wave from Flash City!”
“Nothing too serious, just a foe who came knocking, but I’ve already dealt with them,” Sunan replied with a comforting smile.
“An enemy? Was it a Wizard Apprentice?” Amy’s eyes widened.
Such an intense energy wave could only have been caused by a duel between two Wizard Apprentices.
Back when the master’s students were here, it often felt similar in the training field.
“Yes.” Sunan nodded, “A Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.”
“Level 3 Wizard Apprentice!”
Amy jumped in shock but then appeared puzzled upon realizing.
“Meow, aren’t you a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice? How did you defeat a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice?”
Sunan petted the little cat’s head and said meaningfully, “I relied on the power of money.”
Power of money?
Amy’s tiny eyes were filled with big confusion.
What kind of power is the power of money?
A type of magic?
Sunan smiled without explaining, gave Amy a pat, and let her go off to play, then headed toward the Meditation Room.
After the battle, it’s time for the delightful task of counting the spoils.
Meditation Room.
Under the bright, soft glow, Sunan examined the Space Ring in his hand.
Perhaps he hadn’t anticipated the Space Ring ending up in someone else’s possession, as it wasn’t locked with any secret techniques, making it easy for Sunan to open its inner space.
The space was small, less than a cubic meter, but it was quite full, packed to the brim.
Sunan took each item out one by one, counting them carefully.
First, the money.
There were only a little over a hundred Gold Coins, along with plenty of scattered Silver Coins and Copper Coins.
There were a total of 112 gemstones, mostly mid-to-low tier ones like tourmalines, jades, zircon, spinels, and yellow jade, but also more than a dozen high-tier gemstones like rubies, sapphires, and diamonds.
There was even one rare greenstone.
Greenstone, also known as Shield Stone, is a delicate, shiny gemstone that is green-white or very dark green, usually found in extremely dangerous dark regions.
Greenstone can be used to create magical items, significantly enhancing enchantment traits like strong acid, cold, shock, flame, or sound wave energies.
It can also be used for setting up arrays and crafting Soul Cores.
Of course, it can also be used to create Rune Gemstones, though that would be somewhat wasteful.
“A good thing.”
Sunan smiled.
Premium gemstones are extremely valuable.
For example, this greenstone is worth at least 5000 Gold Coins.
The total estimated value of the other gemstones also exceeds 4000 Gold Coins.
Just the gemstones alone have replenished Sunan’s expenses entirely and yielded several times more!
One could say it’s a great profit!
Besides this, the Space Ring also contained quite a few rings, necklaces, and bracelets, likely used by Herb to create magical items.
After counting the money, Sunan immediately turned to the books.
There weren’t many books, only a little over ten, all without exception Tier Two Magic Model Books.
Including [Elemental Protection], [Scorching Beam], [Flash Dust], [Tier Two Monster Summoning Skill], [Detect Invisibility Skill], [Darkness Skill], [Invisibility Skill], [Mirror Image Skill], [Group Horror Skill], [Toughness Skill], [Barbaric Strength Skill], [Light Spirit Skill], [Floating Skill]…
Sunan guessed Herb probably kept other books at his residence, carrying only the more important magic books with him.
After all, these things do take quite a bit of space.
“If I could find Herb’s residence, perhaps I could obtain more Wizard’s Scripture.”
“Just wonder where this guy lives?”
“Maybe Marquis Golden Rock has some clues?”
After pondering for a bit, Sunan temporarily set aside his doubts and put the books away.
Before today, he only had two Tier Two Magic Books: [Ma Youfu’s Strong Acid Arrow] and [Shattering Sound Wave].
