Mystical Ancient Jobs - Chapter 6
After finish reading the letter Klause inner thought was in turmoil. He couldn’t organize what will he do and how will he act in his mind after gaining a few information. In fact it these few information creates even more question in his mind. The fact that what he majority knows from where he come from is clouding him from making accurate judgement like the previous first encounter battle, by relying on his knowledge about his opponent clouded him from thinking of other possibilities does resulting him almost get killed.
Klause: Wow that was a lot old man, guess I’ll have to thank you for giving me a welcome gift and in turn I’ll try to honor your request.
Still I’m surprised to learn that there exist a higher rank than arc mage, to my knowledge magician rank stop progressing after arc mage being the highest. Did this apply the same for the other jobs I knew?.Exactly how powerful were the follower of light people for a sage of this level be respectful and willing to brave any danger just for the legacies they had left?.
The old man told in his letter that I only need to drip this ring with my blood to bind it and be my personal belonging. Let’s give it a try then and see what’s inside.
Klause draw his sword and carefully slit his finger to draw blood for the ring to drip in. After that he waited for the ring to have a reaction or a glow effect to know if he had succeeded in binding it.
Klause: Strange it has no reaction until now after being drip in my blood for a while now. Did I succeed?. Ok let’s pick it up and wear it then.
As klause draw near the ring and stretch his arm to pick it up, the ring suddenly lift up and flung towards his direction automatically wearing itself to his middle finger. Klause was surprised by this event and react slowly. Inside his mind an instruction on how to use the ring appears.
Klause: So in order for me to use this ring is by applying magic energy in it and giving action command through my mind after I can stretch my arm with the ring on it grabbing or putting something out of thin air. If I want to know the content inside the ring just give command in my head again and the content would be flashed in my mind as an image like a freaking projector.
This ring sure is handy, but there is little problem. I don’t know how to apply magic energy in this ring yet. How would I do that? I’m once an arc mage and able to cast powerful spells I know, but that was in a game where I had the help of a system to do magic. In truth I never did study any magic manipulation thing. If only I could study magic manipulation here.
Hmmmmm…..
Oh! I forgot about the books on the table. They are books related to study magic, maybe I can learn magic manipulation from it.
let see…… Creation of magic…….Fusion of magic……..Balancing of magic…….Nature of magic…….Ah here Fundamentals of magic.
I’m pretty sure this book contains the information of manipulating magic energy. It may take time to study but I’m in a safe hidden place with food and water so why not?…
After having opportunity Klause went on to study silently in the old man’s place without having worry on what is happening outside. He was completely absorb in his study on magic.
Meanwhile somewhere in the forest a dark figure with a skinny arm holding a crystal while speaking a strange words afterwards the crystal it was holding cast a bright light which form a sphere and projected another figure.
