Chapter 199: 199 Training in Twilight Forest part 18 (1/2)

As soon as a portion of the fog was cleared off, the Mother and Father Twilight Bears were immediately bombarded with Magic spells after another Magic spell.

*Whoooosh!

*Booooom!

*Bang!

The two Twilight Bears did their best to tried to cover-up that portion of the fog while dodging as many Magic spells possible, but the 8 Wind Elementals wasn't going to allow them to do such a thing easily, since they would definitely go back to blindly attacking once again if the two Twilight Bears could indeed repair the hole in their fog.

Unexpectedly though, Leo can't help shaking his head while watching the fight because he had noticed one big troublesome problem.

Although Chief Lago and the other four leaders were powerful Mages of the 5 Divisions, really, but they, unfortunately, don't have any Magic weapons that can assist them. They were basically just sending Magic spells after another and extremely reliant on Magic spells alone, unlike teacher Marvin and the other teachers of Silver Mage Academy who have Magic weapons to further improve their fighting capabilities, such as teacher Marvin's Crimson Sword and teacher Smith's Lightning Trident.

Well, what could be expected from people who live in Twilight Forest? Even if some traveling merchants passed by them, even if it's on a daily basis, they still won't be able to buy Magic weapons that easily due to the sole fact that they don't have enough money.

Although they can just keep on selling some extra Magical resources, they have gathered to every random traveling merchant caravan in order to earn enough money to buy a Magic weapon the next time. Getting a reasonable price is highly unlikely to happen.

Moreover, not every traveling merchant, would have Magic weapons, and even if they do, there would only be a few and the possibility of getting Magic weapons suited of compatible for them is also another variable to consider since each Magic weapons has unique features that would become the variable for the Magic weapon to become not suited for the buyers.

Like for example, teacher Marvin affinity is more suited for Fire Element, so even if he indeed can find a Magic weapon, if that Magic weapon is of Element that isn't compatible with him, he would obviously not consider buying that since that would be useless for him and if he indeed buys that it would just, in turn, become one of his fatal weakness.

Furthermore, even if they can indeed buy some, maintenance would soon become a problem. They would be required to every time to go and visit a city secretly to repair their Magic weapons if ever it is damaged since they don't have the tools to do the repair, which is another risk and another cost.

The villagers of Eclipse village are also almost ignorant of the prices of the outside world too, so ripping them off is extremely possible to happen, especially since the villagers are Hybrids, so no traveling merchant or any businesses would just treat them the same way as any other Foreign races.

In fact, the problem of not having Magic weapons was also another problem that had caused Ash to consider whether to really attack the Mother Twilight Bear and Father Twilight Bear or not before.

To be honest, Ash really wanted to buy some Magic weapons. Unfortunately, not only do they lack enough money, but they are also treated as something like wanted criminals. So, Mercenaries, Slave Hunter, and Bounty Hunters would always and always come and hunt them for money.

It's really hard to live as a Hybrid...

Aside from the lack of Magic weapons, Chief Lago and the four leaders also don't have a lot of Magic spells in their arsenal yet. They were basically just repeating some common Magic spells such as Flaming Shots spell, which is obviously an improved version of Fireball spell; Hundred Vines spell, which is an improved version of Vine Whip spell; Rock Pillar spell, which is an improved version of Rock Spikes spell; and lastly, Whirlwind spell, which is an improved version of Tornado spell.

Although those Magic spells were a level higher compared to basic Magic spells like the Fireball spell, it still can't remove the obvious flaw that having only a few Magic spells in their arsenal limit the total damage output a Mage in their level can attack. Moreover, their obvious lack of knowledge about Support Magic spells and Defensive Magic spells also limits their capability.

Take, for example, teacher Marvin. Despite being a 4 Star Mage, he can use a Galaxy level Magic spell and a wide variety of basic and improve Assault, Support, and Defensive Magic spells, and also a Magic spell that he usually only applies on his Crimson Sword to further improve its attack.

”This is going to be another big problem...” Leo heaved a sigh of helplessness. His Heart city was known for being poor, so if he wants to really equip all of these Hybrids with some Magic weapons, Magic armors, Magic equipment, and also some Magic spells appropriate for their level, he would need to spend a lot of money for him to do so.

Although Madam Silva is holding his savings right now, which should be at least around less than 10 million gold coins already, it is obviously still not enough, since the leaders of the 5 Divisions alone would already require a huge investment of around 1 million gold coins each, and not to mention Chief Lago who is a 9 Star Mage and the rest of the other 5 Division's men that is in between the range of 1 Star level to 6 Star level. The rest of the villagers of Eclipse village were also another problem that he should also put some importance on since the majority of them have a great potential to become powerful soldiers, which obviously he shouldn't just waste.

Another problem he would need to consider is their identity development of their safe sanctuary, and their daily necessities that include food, water, clothes, shelter, and many more similar things, which would obviously require not only a huge sum of money but also manpower.
