179 The Gain (2/2)

This coral staff was a level two high-rank magic item named Amboula. Its user could breathe under water and cast Lightning Ball and Acid Bubble, which were both second circle spells, three times a day. Besides, it helped its owner to concentrate on accumulating his or her spiritual power when a spell was cast, and also to locate his or her enemy, especially when one was casting metal control spells.

The staff was made of the coral growing near the altar of the Lord of Ocean, Amboula, and it was a common staff for Kuo-toans.

”One who is blessed by the Lord of Ocean has the power of water.” Lucien murmured to himself when he finished analyzing the magic item. This was the message left by the maker of the staff.

Holding the staff in his hand, Lucien noticed that his spiritual power had become more concentrated. He was glad that he finally got a staff as a sorcerer.

And even if the ship sank, he would be able to breathe under the water.

At this time, a loud voice came from the deck,

”The murlocs are beaten. Knights and soldiers, don't let a single one of them escape. Pastors, repair the ship.”

It was Viscount Wright's voice.

Although he was saying so to comfort the people on the ship, only he and the cardinals knew whether the murlocs were beaten or they just left by themselves after obtaining the stones.

The three apprentices released a long sigh.

Lucien was now in a pretty good mood as well. He opened the small grey purse that he got from the murloc mage.

As soon as the purse was opened, a great sense of oceanic power came out of it. Lucien saw six dark blue gems in there, and each of them was about the size of a finger tip. The six gems were all covered with ripples of light.

These were high-quality Wave Stones, ten times more valuable than common ones. They could not only be used as a main material for making medium-rank magic items but also to make high-rank ones. These stones were his own trophies. Lucien was quite delighted.

At this time, he noticed that there was a piece of note at the bottom of the purse.

”What's this…” Lucien murmured.

After telling the three apprentices to keep securing the space, Lucien secretly unfolded the note.

”Collect a large amount of Wave Stone and bring them to the tarnished ocean area. We need a great magic circle to open it.”

Under this line of words, there was a simple map for directing one to get to the so-called ”tarnished” area.

As this piece of note was already copied by Lucien's spirit library, he quickly destroyed the note.

Lucien never heard about anything related to a tarnished ocean area. And it seemed that even the murloc mage had no idea where it was.

According to the map, it looked like that this area was part of Storm Strait.

However, Lucien was not sure, since the note was written in the murlocs' own language, and Lucien could only understand part of it.

”Mr. Evans, the fight is over,” Annick said to Lucien.

Lucien grabbed the staff and nodded, ”Then we'll see what Tom wants us to do.”

As soon as he closed the purse, Lucien noticed that the power of the Wave Stones disappeared at the same time.

He wondered whether the purse was a magic item as well, so Lucien secretly cast Identification to check it.

The purse turned out to be an apprentice level magic item called Kuo-toan's Pouch, which could conceal magic waves.

Lucien was a bit disappointed. He thought it was something better.

At this time, Tom's voice came, but he was not talking to Lucien and the apprentices.

”What are you guys doing here?”

Tom's voice was loud, purposefully loud.

”The cardinal asked us to check the cabins downstairs for fixing the divine power circles,” someone answered in a slight arrogant tone.

The three apprentices' faces immediately turned pale, and they were all very nervous again.
