215 Lightning and Thunder Part 2 (2/2)

However, he needed to deal with Sufonso, but killing him would only lead to his son seeking revenge. This was an endless cycle, just like a recurring magic formula.

Once a recurring magic formula was written, it did not matter where the formula began. The entire formula would become an independent world.

Moreover, this matter had led to other problems. Sufonso had used this opportunity to provoke his teacher. It was just that his teacher had not vented his anger on his men, but had instead gone straight for the magic tower which protected Sufonso. The Holy See’s plan had failed, and the hatred between his teacher and Sufonso had no end.

Even if Saleen could swallow this down, Jason would not be able to. Sooner or later, Jason would kill his way back to Yaoyang City and destroy that magic tower. How could Saleen watch without doing anything?

Was this the fate that the astrologers were talking about?

If a person wanted to seize their fate, they needed absolute power. Saleen caressed his clan badge, suppressing the anxiety that he felt. His fate was incredibly unusually, almost like a perfect magic formula that had been arranged by someone.

Remembering the magic pattern on the badge, Saleen put it away and took out the yellow calabash from his Ring of Gifts. This time, he could feel the elemental vibrations inside of it.

The inside of this sealed calabash was filled to the brim with water elements. The calabash was very light, but the water elements within were incredibly heavy. How these water elements had ended up in the calabash, Saleen could not figure out. The mouth of the calabash was still intact. Could it be that the calabash had been grown this way?

”Saleen, where did you get that calabash?” Lex saw the calabash in Saleen’s hands. It was almost as though she recognized it.

”I won it in a bet,” Saleen answered truthfully.

”You’re lucky. That thing’s incredibly rare.”

”You know what this is?”

”I’ve seen it in books. It’s called a shenhe. In ancient times, it was grown using alchemy and was a precious item even back in its time.”

”This is a shenhe?” Saleen had heard of this word before in some magic notes. It had been talked about briefly, but not in detail. The mage that had taken these notes had said that a shenhe was a half-magic life. Saleen had not expected that life to be a plant. He had assumed that it was an soul alchemy used by people in ancient times.

”You don’t know how to use this, do you?”

”Yes.”

”There are six different types of shenhe. This one stores water elements, and if you want to use it now, you can cut a hole as instructed in the alchemy drawings on the calabash. The water elements will not dissipate and you will be able to control them in any environment. Your strongest attacking spell right now is the current cutter. If you attach it to the calabash, the calabash can be a piece of equipment which stores magic. This magic equipment doesn’t need to be activated with any magic nuclei. Just like my magic staff, it has a life of its own.

”Holy weapon?”

”It’s not a holy weapon, nor is it a weapon of god. Ancient people were not so boring. Just put it to use. Current cutter is a practical spell and is much stronger than most Fire Magic in close range. Plus, it can be upgraded all the way to level-9. Its only flaw is that the spell cannot target many people, and no matter how good your technique is, it can only attack a few people at a time.”

Saleen was overjoyed upon hearing that. He had longed for Lex’s magic staff for a long time, but Joey had taken such a long time in processing and extracting that small amount of essence from the two trees to give to Lex that the rest of the materials might not have been as magical as those used in her magic staff. The calabash could store Water Magic to be used repeatedly. From what Lex had said, it was controlled by one’s focus, and this aspect of it made it better than the magic staff.

Current cutter? He was not in a rush either way. Perhaps it would be better if he researched the magic pattern on the badge and then processed it onto the calabash. With that, it was possible that the magic released by the calabash would have some special effects as well.

”Actually, you can always use this calabash to create a water puppet once you’ve advanced to grade-6. It might have unexpected results.”

”We shall see then. I already have two fully constructed puppets.”

”That’s because you don’t understand how powerful a water puppet is,” Lex said as she sat up. ”I still haven’t mastered this spell, but let me demonstrate it to you and you will understand.”
