The importance of Meditation Method Fifth Layer is equally self-evident.
Only this time going, thereâs no need to explore the goblin relics if we can get our hands on that Fourth Level Witchcraft Hamadi mentioned, it wonât be in vain!
The only thing making Rein a bit hesitant is about Annaâs mother.
Originally, he planned to start the rescue mission for Annaâs mother, Daryn Yueling, once he returned to the Imperial City.
With his current strength, he no longer needs to be as cautious and concerned as before when doing this.
After some thought, Rein asked, "Is the time confirmed?"
"Yes, itâs confirmed. The plan is to depart in seven days, the visit is about a month. If Lord Rein, you decide to go, I suggest you arrive at the Imperial City at least a day in advance to prepare a bit for the visit affairs." Olena quickly said.
"Mm." Rein nodded, looking thoughtful.
Seven days...
If he wants to rescue, it would be too rushed.
After all, Annaâs mother has been missing for more than two years, so thereâs no hurry within this half month. He cannot even confirm whether Annaâs mother is still alive.
Acting rashly, if the Dragon Scale Brotherhood obliterates traces, then...
Rein immediately decided to wait until he returns to discuss it.
"Olena, send a message to Marshal Alfred for me, I agree to participate in this visit."
"Okay, Lord Rein, Iâll do it right away." With that, Olena quickly left.
At this time, Anna, who was not far away, briskly walked over, her big beautiful eyes showed both loss and curiosity, saying:
"Rein, are you going to represent the Empire to visit the Eagle Federation?"
"Mm." Rein rubbed Annaâs head, comforting her.
Although he really wants to stay longer in Ferdinand Forest, some things he must go and do.
"I heard the Eagle Federation and the Empire here are quite different?"
"Yes, not only are the political systems different, but also the level of social development varies. But I havenât been there, so this time is just right to take a look."
"Mm, then remember to tell me about it when you get back."
"Certainly no problem."
"By the way, Rein, you just said this Second Level Witchcraft is part of some Dawn Killing Move composition?" Anna glanced at the sheepskin scroll in Reinâs hand, saying.
"Mm, donât underestimate this Second Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns Roadâ, itâs actually part of the Fourth Level Metal Series Dawn Killing Move âSteel Forest.â
"I had already mastered the Fourth Level Witchcraft Steel Thorns Forest and Third Level Witchcraft Thorny Iron Ball, and now with this Second Level Witchcraft Iron Thorns Road, it means Iâm just missing a First Level Witchcraft named Iron Thorns to complete the full Dawn Killing Move."
"No wonder you are so happy to get this Second Level Witchcraft." Anna instantly came to a realization, saying.
"Just missing the First Level Witchcraft Iron Thorns?"
"Huh, the name of this witchcraft, I seem to have heard it before."
Anna furrowed her eyebrows slightly, looking thoughtful.
"Mm?"
Rein was first a bit surprised but soon, he chuckled.
"It makes sense, the word âthornsâ is present in many Nature Witchcrafts, so itâs normal for you to feel familiar."
"But what I need is the witchcraft âIron Thornsâ, a rare Metal Series Witchcraft."
"Hmm... thatâs true, but I really seem to have heard about this witchcraft before." Anna felt Reinâs words made sense yet believed she wasnât mistaken.
"No, I will ask the teacher and see if she knows about it."
After thinking a bit, Anna decided to confirm it.
Firstly because she seems to have seen it before, and secondly, listening to Reinâs explanation just now, she knew this First Level Witchcraft is very important to Rein.
Since thatâs the case, confirming it wonât take long.
"Sure!"
Not wanting to dampen Annaâs enthusiasm, Rein watched her excited departure, smiling and shaking his head.
He had never heard of elves using Metal Series Witchcraft, as the darlings of nature, elves generally use Nature Witchcraft.
After Anna left, Rein thought for a bit, then opened the ancient sheepskin scroll recording Second Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns Roadâ to carefully read.
Having acquired a new Second Level Witchcraft, naturally, itâs not without reason to learn.
Moreover, he is now accumulating Skill Points precisely to quickly enhance his witchcraft.
However, âIron Thorns Roadâ, being only a Second Level Witchcraft, as Rein had already entered the realm of Fourth Level Dawn Wizard.
Therefore, he plans to self-learn and try to improve it first.
A quarter of an hour later.
System prompt appeared:
[Youâve undertaken the learning of Iron Thorns Road, related insights enhanced!]
[Youâve comprehended a new skill - Iron Thorns Road]
[Your skill Iron Thorns Road has been enhanced, Experience +4]
...
Indeed, mastering Second Level Witchcraft with the level of a Fourth Level Dawn Wizard is much easier.
Rein took only a quarter of an hour to grasp this new Metal Series Witchcraft.
Meanwhile, at the bottom middle of the Dragon Vein Wizard (Epic) panel, there appeared a brand-new icon.
The design on the icon is a path composed of sharp thorns, glimmering with a dark silver metallic luster.
Furthermore, the small text below the icon is as follows:
Iron Thorns Road lv1 (1/100)
Iron Thorns Road lv1 Effect: Consumes a certain amount of spiritual power, using a specific witchcraft model to induce surrounding metal energy particles, forming an Iron Thorns Road, conducting piercing attacks on all targets in a straight line.
(Note: Casting time 3 seconds.)
"Straight line attack? This is indeed somewhat similar to the Thorny Iron Ball."
"It appears to be a weakened version of the Fourth Level Witchcraft Steel Thorns Forest. Steel Thorns Forest can attack in a fan shape or even circular around it, but this Iron Thorns Road seems to only attack targets directly ahead in a straight line."
"However, this is very much in line with the power level of a Second Level Witchcraft."
...
"Rein! Look! What is this!"
Anna, like a nimble little deer, quickly ran over while waving something at Rein, her face full of joy!
Hmm?
With Reinâs vision, he clearly discerned the sheepskin scroll Anna held, recalling Annaâs purpose for leaving...
Astonishingly, a thought surged to his mind.
Could it really be...?
Rein rose suddenly and strode quickly toward Anna.
"Rein, I found it!"
"I was sure I wasnât mistaken!"
As Anna spoke, she handed the sheepskin scroll directly to Rein, her high chest still heaving violently from the recent run.
Upon receiving it, Rein opened the scroll, revealing the words âIron Thornsâ...
"This... is real?"
Rein was truly astonished.
"Yes, in these past few days while studying with the teacher, I stumbled upon it unintentionally."
"Rein, you were wrong about something."
"Although we mostly use Nature Witchcraft, it doesnât mean the library only holds Nature Witchcraft-related texts. In fact, it houses many other types of witchcraft too."
Anna said with a slightly playful tone.
"I see, it was presumptive of me."
"Anna, thank you!"
Rein gently picked up Anna and then kissed her deeply...
...
Five days later.
In these five days, Rein did not proceed with the leather armor crafting but repeatedly practiced the newly acquired witchcraft.
By this time, Rein has elevated the newly mastered Second Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns Roadâ from lv1 to lv5 (76/2000).
Upon reaching lv5, the speed of improvement for Iron Thorns Road also began to slow down.
As for First Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns,â because of its lower difficulty, Rein directly raised it to lv6 (23/3000).
Which means, for Rein to elevate both new witchcrafts to lv20, it only requires 7 and 6 points, totaling 13 Skill Points.
And he currently has 14 Skill Points.
Although he can continue practicing to slowly improve, Rein is about to visit the Eagle Federation.
Of course, the most important thing is the temptation of the Dawn Killing Move; Rein doesnât want to wait any longer.
After a brief contemplation, Rein allocated 7 Skill Points plus 8 Golden Skill Points into the Second Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns Road.â
As the Second Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns Roadâ rose from lv1 to lv20, instantly, a vast memory concerning the witchcraft âIron Thorns Roadâ flooded Reinâs mind.
At that moment, Rein felt as if entering a mystical space, continuously practicing the Second Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns Roadâ...
Several minutes later.
Rein again allocated 6 Skill Points and 8 Golden Skill Points into the First Level Witchcraft âIron Thorns.â
