Fortunately, the ring of fire resistance was not very powerful, and the books in the public library were protected to a certain extent. Andrew just had to put the bookshelves back in place, so he did not have to pay a heavy price.

His success this time made his heart leap with joy. When Andrew was young, he had tried to practice the beginner ring of fire resistance countless times, but all his attempts had failed. This time, it was a natural success.

Following that, he turned his gaze to the other magic books.

…

‘Trail of flames? This spell is quite unpopular.’

Andrew held a magic book in his hand and silently memorized the way the runes were arranged.

‘Magic power transmission, flame release, magic power attachment, burning and flame survival.’

‘No wonder there are so few people learning this beginner spell. There are so many runes, and yet its power is only average. Who would want to learn it?’

Andrew held the magic book in his hand. A bookmark suddenly dropped from it. It must have been left behind by predecessors.

He picked it up and found the following words written on it: ‘I wonder which great mage or legendary mage invented this beginner spell. Its power was just a beginner level, but the difficulty was ridiculously high. I don’t believe any stupid beginner mage would want to learn this thing!’

Andrew was silent.

He quietly put the bookmark back into the book, muttering in his heart, ‘I will.’

He put the book back into the bookshelf and left the library. By airship, he returned to the residential area and went home first.

“Dad, you’re back.”

Mary came over to support him very attentively. Andrew had already gone to the public library every day for more than half a month, and Tim and Mary were already used to it.

They didn’t know that their father had regained his strength. They just thought that it was good for Andrew to go to the library and kill the time. Staying at home all day long was not good for his health.

Andrew allowed Mary to support him. Then, he took a glance and discovered that Tim and Topa were hiding on the balcony, looking sneaky. At this moment, the two of them had not activated their spiritual communication, so Andrew did not know what they were doing.

‘They are probably preparing for their cultivation,’ he thought to himself.

Soon, the whole family had lunch happily.

After that, while Mary went to take a nap, Andrew quietly walked out of the house and headed towards the deserted mountain on foot. He was already very familiar with this process. This was how he had spent the past half a month.

“I’ll try the few spells that I learned today.”

“The speed is still too slow,” Andrew said softly.

If anyone else were to come to the deserted mountain, they would probably be angered to death by his words. One had to know that to learn a spell, it would take at least a few days.

Whereas for Andrew, who could learn a few spells in a day, what else was there for him to be dissatisfied about?

“Flame pulse!”

Andrew waved his hand lightly, and immediately, a tree in front of him suffered the continuous attack of about ten waves of flames. The power was enough to char a piece of good wood.

“The power is twice as greater as what was recorded in the book. Has it reached Level 27? Not bad. Next one.”

Andrew nodded.

“Enchanting flame.”

He gently picked up the kitchen knife he brought from home and wiped it with his finger. In the blink of an eye, the blade that was originally flashing with a cold light turned fiery red.

Andrew casually chopped it onto the surrounding rocks. Using the blade that had been blessed with the power of fire, he easily cut the rocks into two halves. Looking at the cutting surface, he could see that some parts of the rocks that came into contact with the blade were almost melted by the fire.

“It was not recorded in the magic book that there would be a melting phenomenon. As expected, the power has increased a lot.”
