Chapter 434: How Do We Get Rid of It?

Korora Mountain Range

Link did not expect to face this problem. Actually, he could bring the rock to life as well. Unfortunately, his method would result in a complex puppet like Nana, and creating it would require at least half a month. All they needed to do now was to investigate the black shadow, so a simple stone golem would have to suffice.

Thinking for a moment, Link offered, “How about this, let’s trade one spell each.”

Gaimin couldn’t handle the new material now as it was too high a level and too resilient, but Link had no problems handling it. Furthermore, he was also interested in the dwarven art of puppetry.

As a Magician, it was an unspoken rule that if one wanted to learn another’s spell, one ought to offer something of equal value.

Gaimin was naturally agreeable. Link was a Legendary Magician, and Gaimin knew that he would gain more in this bargain.

“How are we going to do this? What will you trade in return?”

Link replied, “I want to learn your Stone Puppet spell. As for what I can offer, these are my magic notes. The first 50 pages contain spells from Level-9 and below. You can select any one you like.”

His magic notes looked very simple and plain. They were bound by a simple leather skin and looked rather thick, containing at least 300 pages. On the front, it was simply titled “Magic Notes.”

This book was so plain that if it were placed on a bookshelf, nobody would pay it much attention. Normal people and even low-level Magicians might just throw it to the side.

To high-level Magicians, however, it was a priceless treasure. It had attained unbelievable status in the magic world because many had heard of Link’s attainments. In the eyes of high-level Magicians, this was something that could bring them enlightenment. It was a holy book!

Gaimin’s eyes lit up. He stared fiercely at Link’s notebook and licked his lips which were hidden deep under his bushy beard. “I can really pick whatever I want? Can I pick two? I’ll trade more spells with you.”

Link was speechless. “Just one. Time is tight, hurry and select the one you want.”

Gaimin was extremely solemn. He brushed off the dust off his robes and carefully inspected his attire once more. Then, after ensuring that he was prim and proper, he extended out both his hands and received the notebook from Link and started flipping through the pages.

After ten pages, he found a spell he wanted. “I want to learn this Inter-Spell Resonance.”

“You really have a good eye!” Link praised. Before when he had been inflicted by the Elemental Reject effect, this Inter-spell Resonance was a secret technique that he relied on heavily. Besides Eliard, he had never shared this with anyone else.

It didn’t matter much now though.

In truth, the Elemental Rejection effect on Link’s body had long since disappeared, and he could use elemental spells once again. However, based on his current strength, most elemental spells simply were too weak.

“Are you sure?” Link asked to confirm.

“I’m sure,” Gaimin nodded. Gaimin stared longingly at the remaining pages of the book. If the first 50 pages contained spells under Level-9, then wouldn’t that mean that the rest of the pages contained Legendary-level spells?

Link pretended not to notice. He took out a pen and cast a Copy Spell. He copied the Spell Resonance technique onto another piece of paper and handed it to the dwarf Gaimin.

Gaimin similarly copied his Stone Puppet technique and traded it for the spell. Then, he reluctantly returned Link’s Magic Notes to him. The entire time, he stared intently at the notes. It was as if he wanted to swallow them whole so that he wouldn’t have to return them.

After obtaining the Stone Puppet spell, Link began to study it.

It was a very unique Level-7 spell. Once mastered, it could bring out the best in minerals. Link couldn’t help but praise it silently.

However, no matter how special it was, it was still only a Level-7 spell. It didn’t take very long for Link to learn it.

It was like how an expert martial artist could easily learn new moves. Once one perfected their techniques, they could similarly understand the flow of other techniques and therefore copy and learn them easily.

Link was just like that.

After half an hour, Link grasped the essence of the spell. However, it wasn’t enough. The original spell was designed for use with lower level materials and had no way of dealing with this crystallized stone. It needed some modifications.

For Link, it was a simple matter to modify a Level-7 spell. However, it would still require him some time.

Half an hour later, the spell was completely changed by Link. A message appeared in his vision, informing him of his success in creating a new spell.
