Mercenary Wars

Chapter 31 Level 7 Storage Ring

At the end of the class, Master Hayes said, "Now you can handle things that require mana but not spells. You don't need to take introductory courses anymore."

Gao Jianuo thought for a moment and asked: "Besides the introductory course, do you have other courses?"

"The magic courses from level one to three can help you get the corresponding mage level more easily in the assessment of the Mage Guild. There is a fee..." Master Hayes glanced at Gao Jianuo's clothes and didn't say anything else.

Gao Jianuo also tactfully did not ask, but changed the subject: "If I have some questions about magic later-"

Master Hayes said directly: "As long as I am free, just come and ask me."

He seemed to have thought of something else. "If you're interested in magic, you might consider going to the Axe School of Magic. They don't have a strict age requirement, and the tuition is much lower than the Deep Blue Academy... By the way, the current Pope worked as a librarian there when he was young."

Gao Jianuo thanked Master Hayes and left.

Returning to his residence, he couldn't wait to try to open the blood elf's space magic ring.

However, the opposite happened. The storage ring did not react at all to his magic power.

Even when he exhausted all his magic power, the ring was as quiet as an ordinary ornament.

This made Gao Jianuo a little upset.

what's the situation?
Could it be that the panel display is wrong, and this is actually just an ordinary ring?
Gao Jianuo's attention was unprecedentedly focused. He used the panel ability to examine it repeatedly, and the result still showed that this was a level seven space magic ring, correct.

Then why can't it be opened?

Gao Jianuo frowned, and after a moment he finally thought of something. He quickly took out the "Blood Law Notes" to check.

Half an hour later, a word came into view.

"Blood brand..."

This is a word in the original text of the blood elves, but it is not the human language translated by Priest Green. Gao Jianuo is not sure whether this translation is accurate.

But one thing is for sure.

Blood Brand is a special magic of the blood elves, which can establish a certain binding relationship between magical objects and themselves, making them unusable by others.

Is there a blood mark on the ring?

Gao Jianuo's brows frowned even more tightly.

Obviously, this is the most likely reason.

However, the original owner of the ring has been dead for many years. There should be a way to remove the blood mark, right?

Gao Jianuo carefully read the entire "Blood Law Notes" and found that the term "blood brand" appeared quite frequently, but most of it was concentrated in the second half of the book that Pastor Green had not yet translated.

He then found several blood elf words with similar meanings to "remove" from the translated parts, and compared them with the following text. He found that one of the words appeared multiple times on certain pages together with "blood brand".

It seems that the "Blood Law Notes" does record the method of removing the blood brand.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianuo had a mental struggle and finally made up his mind to translate this part of "Blood Law Notes"!
As an ancient race known for magic, blood elves' related literature and books are often classified as magic-related.

So Gao Jianuo went to the only place in Nanhai Town where he could buy magic books, the Mage Guild Bookstore.

Here, he once again felt the expensiveness of magic. The thin "Mage's Manual" cost five silver coins, any decent book cost twenty or thirty silver coins, and as for a serious magic book, it would cost hundreds of silver coins.

"I want this 'Dictionary of Blood Elf and Human Language.'" Gao Jianuo took the dictionary to the bookstore butler, feeling as heavy as the dictionary.

"Sixty silver coins." The deacon said without looking up. "Sixty silver coins?" Gao Jianuo was stunned. "Isn't it marked as fifty silver coins?"

The deacon then looked up and said in surprise, "You only bought the Dictionary of Blood Elf and Human Language, but not the Funeral Prelude?"

"Funeral prelude?"

"These two books are essential for studying blood elf culture. Buy them together for sixty silver coins. If you buy them separately, one costs fifty silver coins and the other twenty silver coins." said the deacon.

Gao Jianuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll buy two."

After paying sixty silver coins, Gao Jianuo left the bookstore with great pain, holding the "Dictionary of Blood Elf and Human Language" and "Funeral Prelude".

He has almost no money left.

It seems that after Ryan returns, he must go to the black market as soon as possible to sell the Bloodsail Pirates' badge...

After returning to his residence, Gao Jianuo immediately began translating "Blood Law Notes".

He had no basic knowledge of the Blood Elf language, but fortunately, the words "blood brand" and "release" appeared intensively in only one small section, which was only a few pages long, so the pressure was not too great.

After several days of translation and checking, Gao Jianuo was finally able to understand this part.

The results are very optimistic.

This section is indeed about removing the blood brand, and the method is not complicated. Of course, the premise is that the original owner of the item is dead. The longer the death, the simpler the method of removal.

If the original owner is still alive, removing the blood brand would be incredibly difficult. For this situation, the author of "Blood Law Notes" thoughtfully offers a more feasible suggestion: kill the original owner.

The original owner of the space magic ring has been dead for at least hundreds of years, and the blood mark has long become very weak, and it can be removed with a "clear blood" trick.

After several days of learning, Gao Jianuo mastered the trick to remove blood stains. After releasing it on the space magic ring, the blood mark of the original owner was successfully removed.

Now, he finally got what he wanted and can use this storage ring!
Colgano first tried to take something out of it.

Is there anything else good in the ring?

Unfortunately, after a long period of time, the items in the ring have almost turned into debris.

Except for a piece of meat.

This piece of meat was already highly rotten, not much better than dirt and mud, but it still vaguely resembled meat.

There is no doubt that this is not ordinary meat, but the more important reason why it has not completely rotted until now is probably that the space grid of the storage ring includes two "incorruptible grids", which greatly slows down the speed of corruption.

There are many types of space grids. Ordinary space grids correspond to one item level, while incorruptible grids correspond to two.

Therefore, this seventh-level storage ring has a total of five space grids, two of which are incorruptible grids and three are ordinary space grids.

As for the volume of the space grid, there is no difference between the Incorruptible Grid and the ordinary space grid. Both are approximately equivalent to a large suitcase.

After putting on the seventh-level storage ring, Gao Jianuo immediately stuffed his quiver, wolf-sinker bow, medicine hoe, tent, clothes...all the things he often used when going out into it.

Of course, the two incorruptible boxes could not be wasted, so he filled them with many potions and food.

From now on, he can travel light!

When Gao Jianuo thought of this, he suddenly felt that it was worth spending so much money.
