Chapter 683 Mystra’s Sword

Mystra was rather frustrated to be declined by Roland. She heaved a sigh. “Other goddesses seem much luckier than me. The man that they’re interested in is their believer, friend, and companion. I’ve finally met someone who is rather capable, yet he wants nothing to do with me except earning money and reputation with me.”

She spoke in a slow and gloomy tone as if Roland were really a terrible man. Roland secretly chuckled.

Born in an information world, he had seen countless girls manipulating the guys who were in love with them. He didn’t think he could see through all of them, but he certainly wouldn’t fall for this one, whose expression was obviously insincere.

“We are merely cooperating with each other.”

Roland had truly intended to earn more reputation and money through Mystra, but it was a win-win.

It wasn’t like he didn’t pay anything.

Sacrificing spells could benefit the development of the Church of Magic.

Mystra had received a lot more power of faith lately, mostly because of the oil-making and water-making spells that Roland sacrificed. After the Temples of Magic shared them, they got quite a lot more long-term believers.

Few Mages could avoid learning those two spells in the future.

The sugar-making spell was undoubtedly another must-learn.

Seeing that Roland wasn’t tricked, Mystra helplessly rolled her eyes.

Beauty was truly a great advantage.

Rolling your eyes could easily ruin other people’s impression of you, but when she did that, she almost looked cute.

Certain people with special interests would probably find her attractive.

However, Roland was still not intrigued.

Having been enjoying himself regularly, he was already strongly resistant to beautiful women.

Storing the paper on which the spell model was written, Mystra said in disappointment, “Okay, let’s be friends for now, but I still want you to become my believer someday.”

“Maybe later.” Roland subtly declined her.

“This is your reward.” Mystra waved her hand.

A light ball submerged into Roland’s body.

A few seconds later, a sophisticated spell model appeared in Roland’s mind.

Mystra looked at him with a smile. “I know that old woman Sophie gave you a scythe. But the scythe is just a dead object. What I gave you is real good stuff.”

Sensing the nodes in his mind, Roland asked in surprise, “Mystra’s Sword?”.

“Yes.” Mystra opened her right hand, and a long and narrow sword suddenly appeared in her hand. “This is my alchemical creature, known as Mystra’s Sword.”

The sword had no sheathe and was completely black. However, there was a white eye at the grip of the sword, which was staring at Roland with great interest. “Sister, this is the first time you’ve seen a human being since you became a goddess, right? He’s also a man.”

The voice of the sword was gender-neutral.

Mystra said with a smile, “He’s very talented. He can look a god in the eyes. He’ll be our good friend.”

The sword hummed a response and then disappeared.

Seizing the chance, Roland asked, “The spell to summon Mystra’s Sword already exists in the main plane. Is there anything special about the spell you gave me?” “This is the spell model that I optimized after I became a goddess. It requires a lower level to learn, and the sword illusion that it summons is more powerful and intelligent,” said Mystra with a smile. “Even the illusion summoned by a Legendary Mage with Mystra’s Sword can only inherit thirty percent of the original sword’s power. But if you do that with the spell I’ve optimized, it can be seventy percent as powerful, and more intelligent.”

Awesome!

According to the books that Roland had read, Mystra’s Sword was a powerful, continuous support spell.

After Mystra’s Sword was summoned, it would automatically float near its summoner and enhance them with a lot of support spells. It would also voluntarily attack the enemy, or help take damage.

It could also be a partner to speak with.

However, it wasn’t easy to summon Mystra’s Sword.

Even if one’s level met the requirement, one still might not succeed in summoning it. It depended on if one’s soul matched the sword. So, it was a matter of luck whether or not Mystra’s Sword could be summoned.

Few Mages in the entire world could summon it.

At this moment, Mystra had offered an optimized version and even asked the sword to meet Roland. The hint was almost obvious.

Mystra’s Sword would surely show up when Roland summoned it.

Mystra’s Sword was well-acknowledged as a powerful spell. If possible, every Mage wanted an illusion of Mystra’s Sword.

“Are you satisfied with such a reward?” asked Mystra with a smile.

“I am.” After a pause, Roland said, “Goddess, I’m curious about something. What do the odds of success in summoning Mystra’s Sword under normal circumstances depend on?”

“Apart from personality and the matching rate of soul waves, my baby loves those who are charming.”

“You mean those who have a high Charm?”

“Yes.”
