*Claaaaaaang!

*Whoooosh!

The moment Leo finally opened the door, torches inside immediately began lighting up to brighten up the room.

The room wasn't really that big; he estimated it to only be 10 square meters big. There was also nothing around the wall aside from that it's made of stone bricks with torches embedded in them. The floor was also normal, just a simple floor made out of stone.

Surveying his eyes, he also didn't notice anything else, such as gold, silvers, or some precious gems, instead there is only one table in the middle with one book on top of it.

Moving closer to the table, Leo then noticed the title of the book was 'Ferocious Lion's Wrath', specifically a combat technique.

Flipping the book, Leo soon after noticed that this Ferocious Lion's Wrath technique is actually not just any ordinary combat technique book, but instead, it is a combat technique combining Magic.

”Magic Combat Technique!” Charlotte exclaimed in astonishment.

”What is that?” Leo immediately became curious. For a 9 Star Battle Mage to become astonished by this Ferocious Lion's Wrath technique, then it only means it is good. Also, this was actually his first time hearing this so-called Magic Combat Technique. Teacher Marvin also didn't mention this topic, at least maybe not yet.

”Magic Combat Technique is just like how its name describes, a combination of Magic and combat.” Charlotte replied, seemingly stating the obvious.

”Of course I know that, what I really mean is what's so great about this?” Leo rolled his eyes. He wasn't so stupid not to know that this book taught about combining Magic and combat, what he doesn't know is why it is great.

”Oh, its likes this; you obviously know already that as long as Mages learned any Magic spells, they can easily apply that to their weapons to further increase its damage. However, such usage is actually so crude, or more appropriately simple, and it also doesn't use the full potential of such style in using Magic. Hence bringing forth the invention of Magic Combat technique.”

”Magic Combat Technique teaches Mages or anyone that can access Mana and Magic spells how to apply Magic in weapons correctly. And Magic Combat Techniques also increases even further the damage inflicted by every Magic weapon, or even more best, it can also patch up one of the Mages very fatal weakness, specifically their defense.”

”What's really astonishing about Magic Combat Techniques is that they can't be bought that easily. Usually, this kind of book can only be found on sects, powerful organizations, and Empires. Hardly can you get it from stores, even rich stores wouldn't easily have such kinds of books, that's why these Magic Combat Techniques are only sold in Auction Houses. Their prices would also vary depending on their usefulness, but one thing is for sure, they're not something that money can easily buy. In fact, if you really want to buy such kind of books, you'll need Magic stones as a form of currency!” Charlotte finally finished her explanation.

After hearing Charlotte's explanation, Leo immediately became shocked. This Magic Combat Technique is even much more valuable than what he had expected before.

Moreover, something that can only be bought by Magic stones is even more expensive than gold coins. Magic stones are Magical resources that are hundreds of folds higher in level than Mana stones, the latter focuses more on Mana Capacity while the former is the Magical resources that really focuses on improving Mages cultivation and at the same time, it can increase their Magic Power as well, which is something extremely rare to find amongst other Magical resources since the majority of Magical resources would only focus on cultivation. Therefore, for Magic stones to be used as a form of currency to buy a Magic Combat Technique means it's something extremely great.

”This...” Leo was in disbelief.

”We are extremely lucky to find this! Hahaha, I have never expected that a Commander with a meager 9 Star level in cultivation would actually have something as great as this!” Charlotte can't help laughing out loud.

”The question is, how did he get this?” Leo asked cautiously.

One thing was a fact about Magic stones, such kind of Magical resources are controlled by powerful people. And for Commander Decker to have something that can only be bought by Magic stones, it only means he's not as ordinary as he seems to be.

”That's indeed really dubious... That old man doesn't even look like someone of great background, so how was he able to buy this?” Charlotte also felt the importance of their situation, ”Unless, of course, he killed the original owner of the book!”

Leo also nodded his head, since only such kind of reason would explain how Commander Decker got this Magic Combat Technique. Moreover, Commander Decker was well known already to be a part of the King of Silver Kingdom's first group of people to pioneer this territory, meaning he's one of the King's loyal soldiers prior to becoming a Commander, hence he shouldn't be someone even much more greater than the King of Silver Kingdom since it is a fact that he began as a mere soldier.

If Commander Decker was also actually a person who hid his real identity and choose to follow the King of Silver Kingdom, then that only means he's a part of a sect, organization, or an important person from some Empires for him to possess this Magic Combat Technique.

”This is really troublesome...” Leo solemnly said.

”Why?” Charlotte curiously asked.

”Since we already killed Commander Decker's son, so in order for me not to have any dangerous variables hunting after me only means I need to eliminate him. It would have been fine if only he killed the previous owner of this Magic Combat Technique, but what if he ends up to actually be a part of a sect, organization, or an Empire? Obviously, with how close those people are with each other and how much they value their image, they would quickly come to find me and make me pay for killing Commander Decker.” Leo shook his head helplessly.

”Are you really not aware that you're actually just overthinking things right now?” Charlotte said while looking at Leo in a ridiculous way.

”Huh?”
