Wizard Bloodline

"Two magic stones per pound of monster meat, it is indeed."

Ronan thought for a long time and couldn't find a suitable adjective, and finally he could only use the word "awesome" to evaluate it.

The physique of monsters is special, and the flesh and blood contain a large amount of energy particles, which is easier to open the taste buds of wizards who deal with energy particles all year round.

So even if it is just a simple cooking, the taste of monster meat will taste better than ordinary meat.

Ordinary wizard apprentices are already troubled by the problem of energy particle erosion. After tasting monster meat, they have to take magic potions to dissolve the accumulation of energy particles.

Only formal wizards whose physique has been initially transformed by energy particles can eat it unscrupulously.

Ronan's [Austerity Body Forging] broke through to the proficient level not long ago, and his physique has been greatly improved, so he can use it with confidence.

He mainly wants to try something new.

After the news of the upcoming invasion of the black wizards spread, the whole of Hoddam was in a pre-war scene of panic, and the prices of various materials soared.

The only thing that didn't go up in price, but plummeted, was probably the monster meat.

"According to the butcher, because of the shortage of supplies, every wizard in Hoddam is trying their best to arm themselves, using every magic stone on the blade, and preparing for the upcoming battle.

There are fewer people willing to spend money to satisfy their appetite, so the price of monster meat, which is not easy to store, has naturally dropped."

"This zero-level monster white-tusked porcupine meat used to sell for five low-level magic stones per pound."

Ronan sat in a chair and picked his teeth for a while.

I don't know what's going on, I just feel very hot all over.

Even after drinking two large pots of boiled water, I couldn't extinguish the anger in my body, so I could only start practicing body building on the spot, trying to vent the energy that was about to overflow.

Two hours later, Ronan, who was soaked in sweat and seemed to have just been pulled out of the water, finally felt that he had returned to normal.

"Is it just me who has this problem after eating monster meat? Am I allergic to monster meat?"

Ronan was puzzled.

It stands to reason that energy particles that accumulate in the body and cannot be discharged should not be this kind of symptom, it should be very painful.

But he just felt like he had taken some kind of tonic, and his whole body was "swelling up".

Ronan casually called up the character panel, took a look, and said "Huh".

The skill column on the panel showed [Austerity Body Building], and the proficiency was actually increased by 11 points compared to before.

And this was just a practice after a meal.

"Could it be that monster meat has an auxiliary benefit effect on the body building method?!"

Ronan blinked his eyes, feeling incredible.

Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was making a fuss.

"I'm afraid this is not a secret at all. The effect of monster meat is insignificant to wizards.

Wizards who can afford monster meat will never focus on body building, and wizards who practice body building methods rarely can afford monster meat.

I can barely be considered an outlier."

As for those mortals who practice the way of knights, it is estimated that they have long regarded monster meat as a treasure that can only be encountered but not sought.

In any case, this is good news for Ronan.

With the help of monster meat, his progress in [Ascetic Body Building] will undoubtedly be much faster, and it just so happens that monster meat is cheap now.

After a slight joy, the haze rolled back again.

Ronan walked to the side of the hut, took down a one-handed sword hanging on the wall with a cold light, held it in his hand and waved it casually, sighing softly.

"War"

More than half a month has passed, and the tense atmosphere in the Hoddam Wizard Land has not diminished at all, but has become more and more intense.

There is a growing feeling that a war is about to begin.

The corpse of the black-robed wizard hanging on the wooden stake at the entrance of the town had long been dried to death, and two more wooden stakes were added.

The soaring prices of goods and housing, the freshly bloody corpse of the black-robed, and the rumors flying everywhere were constantly provoking the fragile and sensitive nerves of the lower-level wizards in the wizard base.

Ronan was also affected.

It can even be said that Ronan, who was accustomed to the harmonious social life in his previous life, was more anxious than ordinary people when facing the coming war.

He followed the trend and purchased a wave of supplies, and stored enough food for him to eat for half a year in the small house.

In addition to practicing every day, he also set aside some time to collect wild fruits, dry them into dried fruits or make jam.

Most of the meat of the wild animals he hunted was made into bacon and dried meat.

Ronan didn't know that he had so many skills... They were all forced out by anxiety.

Fortunately, as a rune master, Ronan also benefited from the war.

The prices of magic tools and equipment skyrocketed, and the prices of runes also rose with the tide.

The price of the [Clean] rune has risen to two magic stones, and the price of the [Shining] rune has risen to three.

This increase is still small. The price of runes above the intermediate level has risen dramatically. The most popular [Protection] rune has risen to the price of fifteen magic stones.

Ronan would naturally not give up this great opportunity to make a fortune. He had already started to study the engraving of the [Protection] rune and even developed a strong interest in the work of the enchanter.

After all, the rune master is still a worker for others, like a low-level assembly line worker, while the enchanter is different. He can be regarded as a senior technician.

At the same level, the income gap between the two is quite large.

Unfortunately, let alone enchantment, Ronan has been studying a small [Protection] rune for more than half a month, but he still hasn't gotten started.

The complexity and difficulty of engraving the zero-level intermediate rune far exceeded his expectations. Even with the help of the panel, his self-study progress was as slow as a turtle.

Taking the one-handed sword that he bought at the wizard market for half a low-level magic stone, Ronan practiced a mundane knight sword skill that the seller gave him with the sword for a while. He felt in good shape, so he put down the sword and practiced engraving the [Protection] rune.

Facing the magic ring enchanted with the finished [Protection] rune, he practiced until his mental power was almost exhausted and several blank rune stones were wasted.

Ronan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, while absorbing the gains and insights fed back by the panel after several practice sessions, he took out a blue potion in a beautiful crystal bottle from his waist bag.

Low-level concentration potion.

Affected by the "war", the price of potions is now ridiculously high.

Fortunately, Ronan had emptied his fortune before the price surge became so exaggerated, and sold the "low-level healing potion" he had stolen from a dead wizard. Later, he found out that it was a "low-level healing potion" specifically used for healing. He collected a sum of magic stones and bought three bottles of low-level concentration potion in one go.

He had already drunk two bottles, and now he had the third bottle in his hand, which was also the last one.

"The effect is getting worse and worse. I hope I can break through smoothly."

Ronan looked at the 94% progress bar behind the fourth-level wizard apprentice on the character panel and prayed in his heart.

Without hesitation, he unscrewed the crystal bottle and drank the whole bottle of potion in one breath, and then poured boiled water into it three times and drank it all.

After doing all this, Ronan quickly climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on meditation.
