Path of light

Chapter 165 166. Roy’s choice

The elf mage glanced at Roy suspiciously, and seeing that he didn't feel any discomfort, he opened a magic rune board again, and the trickle of mana turned into a torrent of mana.

The bright band on the magic crystal column suddenly rose a lot again, and the bright band had reached half of the total length of the light column.

Roy still didn't show any discomfort.

The elf mage hesitated and asked Roy:

"Did you feel any discomfort?"

Roy shook his head.

The elf mage opened the last magic rune board on the mithril square box. The light beam in the magic crystal continued to rise, and it was still rising until it reached three-quarters of the magic crystal.

The band of light rises toward the top of the magic crystal column.

The elf mage no longer stared at the scale. He finally couldn't help but asked Roy:

"Are you the Archmage?"

Seeing that the elf mage didn't sound like he was joking, Roy quickly said:

"I am a...priest."

The elf mage looked in disbelief and said to Roy:

"Your carrying capacity is currently very high, reaching the limit of an intermediate magician..."

The so-called intermediate magician in the elf mage's mouth is actually a first-level magician, which is the same level as the great priest. The great mage in the elf mage's mouth is a second-level powerful one, which is considered to be the same level as the battle priest.

Roy immediately realized that the magic crystal showed such a high carrying capacity, which was inconsistent with his status as a trainee priest. It was probably caused by the Holy Light seedling in his body.

He was worried that the elf mage would find out the clues, so he quickly retracted his hand and said softly:

"Oh, I can't seem to bear it anymore..."

That expression... is a bit fake!

The elf mage was also speechless.

In the Elf Continent, it is usually impossible to judge the age of an Elf from his appearance.

So the elf mage didn't think there was anything wrong with Roy having such a high magic carrying capacity.

It seems that Roy is unwilling to continue testing, and the carrying capacity detection magic crystal has almost reached the detection limit.

The elf mage glanced at the scale value of the magic crystal bright belt and said to Roy:

"Your carrying capacity is about 143. I think this may not be the true upper limit of your carrying capacity."

"Well, I can't hold it any longer."

Roy put his hand on his stomach and said...

He felt that saying it this way might seem more real.

The elf mage wanted to roll his eyes at Roy...

But in view of the appraiser's professionalism, he finally held back.

Roy paid the appraisal fee of one hundred kolers and ran out of the primary appraisal office.

Feeling that the Holy Light seedlings in his body had calmed down, Roy stood in the first-floor hall of the Magic Guild. He thought that he had such a high carrying capacity, which meant that he could inscribe magic patterns on thick leather armor...

Thinking of this, he planned to go to the magic shop.

There happened to be a magic shop opposite the primary appraisal center. Roy went in and asked the shop owner, and found out that there was actually a special magic workshop for magic pattern construction.

Following the direction pointed by the magic shop owner, Roy came to an inscription workshop and stopped.

Pushing open the heavy iron wooden door, Roy walked into the workshop.

The store's facade doesn't look big, but it's very spacious inside.

The reception counter just after entering is almost ten meters long.

There were three Silver Moon Elf female receptionists standing side by side in front of the counter. When they saw Roy entering the store, they said to Roy with a smile:

"Welcome to the inscription workshop!"

The Silver Moon Elf maid is naturally very good-looking.

Roy saw that they were all wearing gray magic robes with vertical stripes, so he said very politely:

"Uh! I want to see the magic pattern structure,"

One of the silver moon elves with a round face nodded to Roy, and actually showed a tiger tooth when he smiled.

This is rare among elves...

She smiled at Roy and said:

"Do you want to buy the magic pattern construction set directly, or do you need to engrave magic patterns on the existing magic protective gear?"

Roy didn't know what to choose, so he said:

"I have a set of thick leather armor, and I want to engrave some magic patterns on this set of leather armor."

The elf maid immediately said:

"I understand, please come with me."

The Silver Moon Elf maid took Roy to an exhibition hall, where a set of crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling.

There are some exquisite oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. The paintings are all beautiful scenery created by nature. However, there are always some daunting monsters hidden in the beautiful scenery, or a piece of skin, an eye, or half of it is exposed. Tail...

The room is surrounded by a row of booths, covered with a layer of dark red velvet.

There are some exquisite wooden boxes placed on the velvet cloth, and an irregular piece of animal skin is placed on each wooden box.

Roy discovered that these animal skins were engraved with various shapes of magic patterns.

The Silver Moon Elf maid said to Roy with a smile:

"You can purchase these existing magic pattern structures, as long as they are embedded in the appropriate position of the protective gear, but this has certain requirements for the space reserved on your protective gear! Of course, you can also add a Customize a magic pattern structure. If you want to customize this kind of magic pattern structure, you need to make an appointment."

Roy saw a note underneath each animal skin magic pattern to introduce the function of the magic pattern.

He saw a magic pattern structure of 'Stone Skin Technique' on the edge, and inside was a magic pattern structure of 'Sprint Art'. He stopped and pointed at the 'Stone Skin Technique' magic pattern structure. Constructed, asked the elf maid:

"How much does a 'Stone Skin Technique' magic pattern structure like this cost?"

Roy just saw the number '20' on the label under the hide.

If it's 20 kohl... Roy thinks it's unlikely to be that cheap.

The elf maid stretched out her white fingers, pointed at the numbers on the label, and introduced:

"The price is listed here... 20 magic crystals!"

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Roy was still shocked that it was really expensive.

A magic pattern construction requires 20 magic crystals.

Roy calculated on his fingers that he would need to save about six months of money to afford the cheapest first-level 'Stoneskin Magic' magic pattern structure.

Advanced magic pattern construction is more expensive...

After just looking at a few pictures of first-level magic pattern structures, Roy was frightened and retreated.

He repeatedly told the elf maid that he didn't want to see it anymore.

When he walked to the door, before he could leave, he saw an elf lady pushing the door open and walking in.

She was wearing a dark magic robe, with long silver hair hanging down like a waterfall. Of course when she turned around and saw Roy, she asked in surprise:

"Roy, why are you here?"

Roy didn't expect to meet Scarlett Magician here.

"Scarlett Magic, good afternoon!"

Roy said respectfully: "I'm just here to take a look around."

Magician Scarlett rolled her eyes and asked Roy with a smile:

"Want to see the magic pattern structure?"

Seeing that Roy didn't deny it, he grabbed Roy's arm and pulled him back into the shop.

Several Silver Moon Elf maids saluted Scarlett at the same time and said in unison:

"Teacher Scarlett, good afternoon!"

Scarlett nodded to them, and then whispered to Roy:

"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk. I usually work part-time in this magic workshop. You can tell me which magic pattern structure you like, and I can give you the lowest discount."

Scarlett took Roy directly past the exhibition hall where the 'Stone Skin Technique' magic pattern structure was displayed, and came to the second exhibition hall.

Roy saw that although there were some first-level magic pattern structures inside, the lowest price was marked as '50'. Roy stopped and glanced at the label, which clearly said 'Iron Armor'.

"This 'Iron Armor Technique' is not bad. It is suitable for engraving on hard leather armor. If you have a set of metal magic armor, don't choose this. Engraving 'Magic Armor Technique' is more suitable."

Scarlett stood aside and introduced patiently.

"As a senior magician who is proficient in inscription literature, I do not recommend that you choose the magic pattern structure enhanced by this kind of protective gear."

Scarlett pointed to a piece of light blue leather, and the price on the note was clearly ‘80’.

She introduced to Roy:

"This is 'spiritual gathering', which can continuously and quickly restore mental power during battle. Whether you are a priest or a magician, this magic pattern structure is very useful!"

Roy grinned. This magic pattern construction alone would take him two years without eating or drinking.

Seeing that Roy didn't seem too interested in these magic pattern structures, Scarlett took Roy to the corner of the exhibition hall. The two sat at a round table, and an elf maid immediately brought two cups of fruit tea.

Scarlett picked up the fruit tea and asked Roy:

"Roy, do you live in downtown?"

"Um."

"You live with your mother?"

"Um."

"Your mother is a Silver Moon Elf?"

"yes……"

"Then how long have you been a priest?"

"More than two months."

Roy answered honestly.

Magician Scarlett took a sip of fruit tea and said with a smile:

"Ah, then you are really a newbie! I heard from Nora that when you were participating in extracurricular practice in the Margalla Jungle last month, you discovered that the check-in point was attacked?"

"It all depends on luck." Roy replied.

Magician Scarlett laughed, rolled her eyes and said:

"Actually, luck is also a part of strength..."

Scarlett pointed at the magic pattern structures around her, blinked at Roy, and asked in a low voice:

"Which magic pattern structure do you like?"

Roy said guiltily:

"Every magic pattern construct here is very good."

Scarlett glanced at Roy and roughly understood his situation, then said, "That's true, have you tested the magic carrying capacity? Which type of magic pattern structure do you prefer?"

Roy thought about it seriously, thought of the thick leather armor in the magic waist bag, and said:

"I prefer those with enhanced protective gear. Stoneskin, Iron Armor, and Magic Armor are all good."

"Of course, the support staff is also good, including physical recovery and mental focus. It's just that the price is too expensive..."

Magician Scarlett sat there and added:

"Actually, there are better ones. After you become a priest, you will feel that spell casting speed and magic power are more important! For example, flexible thinking, magic catalysis..."

Then she said to Roy with a serious face:

"Roy, every elf has a limited carrying capacity. You can't have every magic pattern structure, so you can only choose the one that suits you best. Even if it is more expensive, don't choose it casually. You will regret it later. It’s the biggest waste, you know?”

"knew."

Roy nodded and said.

After walking out of the magic workshop, Roy looked at the dazzling sunlight above his head...

Roy stood on the steps and stared into the distance.

The blue sky and the blue sea meet together at the end of the horizon.

He suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a brand new door that he had accidentally pushed open...

Why just choose the most suitable magic pattern structure...

As an adult, of course I choose them all!
