7 The Thornfield Adept Family (2/2)

”Sure…I have to pay my respects to Great Master Rayleigh's disciple. He used to be my mentor, after all!”

”Really? He's the only pseudo-adept in the tower. He scares everyone, including me!”

Drodosis then headed towards Old Foxy. After talking a few words of goodbye, Drodosis scanned a few spell matrixes, so that he would have something to do during the travel. In this world, there were no planes, no cars, and there weren't even suitable roads. Even with magical beasts, the travel would take weeks! Since he had so much time to waste, he might as well use it to learn a few spells from the shop. Who knew when he would come back?

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Water Grasp Spell.]

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Ice Spike Spell.]

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Water Drain Spell.]

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Invisibility Spell!]

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Water Wall spell!]

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Shadow Concealment Spell!]

[Beep! Host is now eligible to learn the Water Clone Spell!]

Out of these 7 spells, Drodosis was only interested in the water grasp and water clone spells, but still scanned the matrixes of all seven spells, to expand his biochip's database.

When Drodosis returned to his aunt's side, he was quite surprised. She was feeding two huge beasts, two Dire Fire Lizards, who used to be as small as his arm, five years ago, when he left home in order to go to the Ivory Tower.

They must have been fed elixirs and injected hormones, since they not only broke through the intermediate magical beast realm, their body also became 3-meters long and two meters-high, with a tail several dozen foots long! These beasts probably weighed more than 2 tons!

Drodosis and his aunt thus began their journey.

His progress didn't go unnoticed by his aunt. Having 7 points of spirit, that is to say, near the peak of the acolyte realm, by the age of 13, was no small achievement. Moreover, he had an enchanted scimitar worth over 50 magical crystals, and a defensive artefact, which Drodosis finally appraised, with great efforts. She ignored how he managed to get so much money, but she was secretly happy.

It must be said that even back in his childhood, Drodosis was weird.

He didn't play with people his age, and didn't fit with older generations. The only person who could talk to him and play with him was his grandfather, who taught him Adept Chess. Yet…the latter was the Water Dragon, the pillar of the Thornfield family. No matter how much he loved his grandson, he only had so much free time. The decision to send him to the Ivory Tower was not made because he would have more opportunities and resources at his disposal. It was also to make him discover the wondrous benefits of socialization.

Looking at this kid, who didn't voice one word since entering the carriage, her aunt couldn't help but feel that it only worsened this issue.

While her aunt was fed up and bored, Drodosis was extremely happy. He had great food from wandering magical beasts, and he could meditate all day long, without anyone bothering him. Moreover, his biochip finished a task which Drodosis initiated a few days ago!

[Beep! Defensive artefact…a.n.a.lysis completed.

Name: Shadow Cloak. Effects: Absorb up to [Spirit] points of damage. Protects the host from minor soul curses, and mental attack below [Spirit] points of damage. Recharge with mana. Be aware that this is an acolyte defensive artefact, so any more than 20 points of spirit will not yield additional benefits to the cloak.]

'This is actually so much better than what I expected! I thought it was just a low-grade artefact, but it can actually prevent mental attacks, something I was exposed and couldn't defend against. Mental attacks are tough to learn, because it needs particular talents, and after breaking through the adept realm, they become less effective compared to other attacks, but in the acolyte realms, people capable of launching mental attacks are unrivalled! Being able to defend against it, is quite fortunate!'
