Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 188 Star Robe
"Sir, the 'Impermanence of All Things' plaque must not be used inside the Traveler's Rest Area. Violators will be severely punished," the ghostly attendant warned softly.

Despite spending nearly five thousand pounds of gold in one go, Anser remained half-dead and indifferent.

Anser paused. He had actually been planning this, but he was warned as soon as the idea came to him. It seemed that someone had done this before.

There is a one-third chance of encountering unknown dangers when using the Impermanence card, such as being pursued by demons, the embodiment of death, or resurrected corpses. As long as you stay in the Traveler's Rest, many dangers can be easily resolved.

However, Traveller's Rest did not want to be the scapegoat and plugged the loopholes early on. This so-called "severe punishment" is definitely not a light punishment.

A thought struck him, and he took out the Scepter of Protection. He focused his senses and discovered that the interdimensional passage was also blocked, preventing him from teleporting to the Black Tower.

Delilah glanced around, vaguely guessing what Anser was thinking, and leaned closer to say, "You can't use any teleportation spells inside the Traveler's Rest. Any means of staying there are useless; you'll be kicked back home when the time is up."

“What if I lose or sell the teleportation medium?” Anser pondered.

“That would be even worse; you’d be teleported to some corner of the astral plane and have to swim back yourself,” Delilah chuckled.

"How ruthless." Anser felt a sense of bewilderment as he thought about wandering helplessly in the vast sea of ​​stars.

The astral realm is the domain of thought and dreams. Travelers can know the direction of any destination, such as the Desolate Universe or the Pool of Colors, with just a thought, but flying there is fraught with danger.

Astral travel primarily relies on magic ships. Without them, one can only act by thought, with a flight speed approximately five times the intelligence attribute value, easily surpassing air elementals. However, this is of little use because the astral plane is simply too vast.

"Do you want to buy anything else?" Delilah glanced around. Anser's extravagant spending attracted a lot of attention, and glances were frequently cast her way.

However, she wasn't worried. As long as she kept quiet and hid the teleportation medium, she was absolutely safe here until she left.

“Buy it.” Anser wouldn’t abandon his plan just because others were paying attention.

However, bulk commodity purchases had to be abandoned because the scepter of protection was banned, and the dragon skin bag was too small to hold much.

He looked at each booth one by one, and there were many good things, rare and high-quality items everywhere, but the prices were indeed a bit too high.

That makes sense; without a premium, they would probably be bought up as soon as they were released.

Travelers who come here can trade for valuable items from all dimensions, and by reselling them over a long period, they can certainly accumulate considerable wealth.

Anser didn't save money; saving money was pointless. He might as well turn it into immediate combat power.

He first spent 190 pounds of platinum ingots to acquire an "Arcane Cannon," and then used 230 pounds of platinum ingots to buy a "Star Robe," both of which were of rare quality.

"Arcane Cannon" is an enchanted magical cannon that does not require conventional ammunition or reloading. It can fire arcane attacks, including acid spray, flame spray, poison spray, frost bullets, and lightning bullets.

强酸喷射和烈焰喷射覆盖300尺（90米）长，5尺（1.5米）宽的线状区域，毒素喷射攻击前方60（18米）尺的锥状区域，而冰霜弹和闪电弹的攻击距离达到1200尺（360米）。

The highest damage spell is Lightning Bolt, dealing a whopping 6d10 (6-60) lightning damage, making it even more powerful than Fireball.

The only drawback of the Arcane Cannon is its slow charging speed; it can only be fired once every five minutes, but its deterrent effect is stronger.

The "Star Robe" is a long robe with a black and dark blue base, adorned with white or silver stars. While wearing it, saving throws are increased by 1.

The robe has six large stars on the front, one of which can be consumed to cast a level 5 magic missile. Each evening at dusk, the consumed stars will reappear on the robe.

In addition, spellcasters can use the Star Robe to teleport themselves and their belongings into the Astral Plane, and can return to their original plane at any time.

This last ability is what Anser values ​​most; the ability to freely travel between the astral planes is very attractive to any spellcaster.

If the spellcaster weren't currently in a slump, it wouldn't have been easy for him to buy it.

Melee equipment is the least common item in the entire shop; good weapons and armor would sell for double the price.

Finally, he purchased another batch of magical potions: rare varieties of vitality potions, rare quality invisibility potions, indestructible potions, health elixirs, and healing potions, two of each, for a total cost of gems equivalent to two thousand two hundred and forty pounds of gold.

Generally speaking, consumables of the same quality are half the price of magical equipment, but now potions are expensive, have fewer varieties, and are subject to purchase limits, with each person allowed a maximum of two bottles.

Vitality potions remove exhaustion and poison, restoring stamina. Unbreakable potions grant the drinker resistance to all damage for one minute.

The Elixir of Health can cure all magical plagues, and also cure blindness, deafness, paralysis, and poisoning.

Combining several potions can significantly improve Anser's survivability.

'I'll give half to Elise later, but it's a pity there aren't any resurrection items.'

He packed everything away and found that he still had about 30% of the money he had earned from selling spells left. He decided to keep it for the time being and see if there were any good items next time he came.

According to Delilah, the merchandise in the store has changed a lot. Some items that seem to be ignored have actually been spotted by someone who is trying to save money for them.

"Is this all you mean by selling a little gold?" Delilah couldn't help but ask when Anser finally stopped his extravagant spending spree.

In just a short time, this man spent over 500,000 gold coins without batting an eye, which pained her greatly.

"Can't I have some savings myself?" Anser said with a smile.

Spending money feels really great. You can easily get good things that you don't usually see, which makes you feel happy. No wonder so many people couldn't control their spending desires in their past lives.

He had met people who didn't like making money, but he had never heard of anyone who didn't like spending money.

“You… it’s easy to buy, but you’ll lose money if you resell it, and you’ll also have to pay a handling fee.” Delilah rolled her eyes at him.

“If we don’t sell, we won’t lose money.” Anser stepped outside and gestured for the two to come out and talk.

Back at the restaurant, the two found a corner and sat facing each other, but didn't order anything.

"You're leaving? Aren't you going to stay here for the night?" Delilah seemed to have guessed something and suddenly felt listless.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Anser smiled faintly, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Delilah grabbed Anser's hand, tears welling in her eyes, "Take me with you, I'm being chased, I'm homeless, I'm so pitiful..."

Anser forcefully pulled his hand away and said helplessly, "Stop acting, just talk properly."

Delilah instantly regained her composure, scoffing, "Ha, no sympathy at all. Go away, and when you come back next time, there might not be a trace of me left in this world."

"My abilities are limited, I can't help you. I wish you all the best." Anser got up and left, but kept watching Delilah out of the corner of his eye.

Delilah simply leaned back in her chair and looked at him calmly, without trying to stop him.

Anser sighed. Delilah was very strong, and if she couldn't solve the problem, he probably wouldn't be able to either.

Even if there were a way to take her away, he wouldn't have the guts. The moment he returned to the material plane, his life would be in their hands.

Thinking of this, he took out the Traveler's Badge, activated it immediately, and disappeared into the Traveler's Rest in a flash.

He felt dizzy and lost all five senses, which was a bit uncomfortable, but fortunately he had already adapted and was not panicked.

At one moment, his body sank, and the light and shadow before his eyes changed. A huge ship that looked like a nautilus and had several long tentacles floated in front of him.

'Magic ship? ! '

Anser instinctively thought that the Mind Flayers had reached Durag, but when he looked around, he saw more destroyers, large and small, of various shapes, quietly moored at the dock.

He was deeply shaken and looked up abruptly, only to be met with endless void, stars, and a silvery mist surrounding him.

'Where am I? I've been tricked...' His mind was a bit of a mess.

Fortunately, this is not an anti-magic area, so he can hide in the Black Tower at any time and is safe.
