Chapter 15 - Jeremy Sucks It Dry (2/2)

Right now, standing while taking a look at the process of mana attraction from the ancient tree. Jeremy was delighted and fascinated with the 100 ml glass bottle, which was filled more than half by now.

'Ahhh... My precious...' Jeremy thought indulgingly to himself.

Meanwhile, when he was waiting for the mana extraction process. Jeremy started to put out two animal leather gloves from inside his backpack. They were just a pair of ordinary leather gloves made from animal hides.

After placing them on the nearby stone, he started to control his mana from the three dantians and bring them into his index fingers on each hand.

Right after that, he started to write magic array formulations on the air just a little bit above the two gloves.

Surprisingly, he was using two hands simultaneously, inscribing the runes above the gloves at almost the same time, but with the same rhythm, patterns, and magic array formulas.

At the same time, the surroundings were being accompanied by a sonorous mumbled incantation with an unknown language from Jeremy.

More than 15 minutes later, when Jeremy finished inscribing and chanting. Two beautiful special tier-1 arrays were now floating quietly but dazzlingly above the two gloves. It looked complex yet so pretty.

If some mages from Ortus were to see this amazing sight, they could only think of one thing.

That was... it was a great art of a great array practitioner.

Right now, Jeremy suddenly brought out another glass bottle with the same mana liquid inside, similar to the one on top of the array.

However, this bottle only contained around ten drops of mana liquid.

It was clear that this bottle was prepared specifically for this job. Moreover, the liquid inside was used up until it had reached the bottle's very bottom already.

Then he opened the bottle's lit and pour a drop of mana liquid onto the center of each array.

Miraculously enough, after receiving a drop of mana liquid, the two arrays started to shrink down from the size of a football into the size of a single coin.

Next, the two shrunk arrays started to rotate slowly and moved down even more slowly onto the palm of each glove. Until, they stuck on the gloves' palms, and the dazzling light of the arrays disappeared, leaving behind only tiny spell arrays on the palms.

*Fwuu...*

After seeing that the arrays were done beautifully, Jeremy let out a long breath, and then he kept the gloves back inside his backpack.

'Finally, only three pairs of gloves left to be done...'He thought to himself.

Right about now, the mana extraction process was also going to end soon. At last, after a lengthened journey, Jeremy felt very relieved that finally, he could be able to take a rest because this one was the last.

However, upon the operation was done, Jeremy frowned and cursed.

'F*cking d*mn old tree, you only give me a quarter of a drop of mana liquid. What a stingy old tree; don't you know that it is very hard for me to sneak in here without anyone noticing. D*mn you!'

That amount was indeed too little...

The process of collecting mana liquid on Earth was such an arduous job.

Despite that, his everlasting persevere and money-burning method to travel around the world in 2 weeks were still fruitful.

From his calculation, this amount of mana was more than enough for him to breakthrough into a Journeyman Mage class more than 50 times consecutively.

Regarding real motives of his over-collecting of mana liquid were because he wanted to create a staff for himself for the upcoming tutorial, and he wanted to gift 'them' some survival measures inside the tutorial.

They would be his subordinates soon anyway; at the very least, they needed to survive the tutorials and meet him on Ortus first.

As for the materials to craft a staff?

Some bits and parts were mainly from the trees that he had been visiting, some other miscellaneous parts were from animals' hides, and the central orb was from the purest gold on Earth that he had custom-ordered from Perth Mint Company in Australia since three weeks ago.

Well, the best gold they could make was 999.999, six nines fine, which was considered the purest gold ever produced on Earth, refined for the first time by the Perth Mint Company in 1957.

And Jeremy had just ordered them by spending more than 300,000 US dollars as the technique and rush price.

'The gold orb and the shield should arrive in a few days.'

Jeremy thought relievedly.

'What a tiring long trip, it is finally time to go back...'
