Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 47 Treasure Bag
After choosing his specialization, Anser began selecting spells.

"Arcane Resonance" granted him a second-circle Evocation spell, with a limited selection. After a quick glance, he chose the utility spell "Darkness".

It can create a dark area with a diameter of 30 feet (≥9 meters) at a designated location, which lasts for ten minutes. Dark vision cannot penetrate this darkness, and non-magical light cannot illuminate it.

It can also be applied to objects, making it easier to do things.

The second spell could only be chosen from the warlock's class spell list, and without much hesitation, he instantly selected "Stealth Step"!
This is a spell from the Second Ring Conjuration school. It can teleport you to a visible space within 30 feet (≤9 meters). It requires no gestures or materials and is almost instantaneous. It is very useful for both survival and pursuit.

With the boost of high charisma, the teleportation distance of the Shadow Step is about ten meters, and dodging fireballs and javelin throws will be routine operations.

[Specialty: Storm Dragon Mark, Spells: Darkness, Shadow Step, Confirm?]

"confirm!"

The next moment, the magic power within him seemed to go out of control, surging endlessly. Every soft scale emitted a metallic glow, his body felt tingly and numb, and countless inherited memories floated in his mind.

Suddenly, a draft picked up in the room!

The wind grew stronger and stronger, extinguishing the oil lamp and sending clothes, sheets, water cups, and other items flying everywhere. Doors and windows rattled loudly, as if the roof was about to be blown off at any moment.

Blatt and his companion were startled and frantically grabbed their weapons and fragile items, placing them in front of the windows and bathroom; they couldn't afford to pay for the damage.

Fortunately, the storm came and went quickly, and soon the room was quiet again, with only the mess on the floor telling the story of what had just happened.

After a long while, Anser opened his eyes, the faint magical light in his pupils lingering.

He pulled back his cloak, revealing strange and intricate magical patterns on the soft scales on the back of his neck, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

This is the Storm Dragon Pattern, which comes with a spell-like ability to create wind. Like a biological instinct, it is unaffected by the external environment.

"I feel... great."

He waved to Blatt and the other man, indicating that he was alright.

This upgrade is truly significant; Charisma has reached 19, and spellcasting ability has received an all-around boost.

He also learned four second-level spells and two first-level spells. Although he didn't have any offensive spells, it greatly enriched his repertoire and significantly increased his survivability.

Furthermore, with 36 life and 28 mana, one can cast nine second-circle spells in one go, further increasing firepower density.

However, it takes 6500 experience points to reach level 5, which is much more difficult than going from level 1 to level 4.

'Combat strength can't be judged solely by level!'

With his strength, fighting three levels above him is not difficult. As long as he doesn't encounter an extraordinary genius, he can put up a fight.

"Knock knock knock..." A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Looking at the mess in the room, Blatt felt exhausted and reluctantly got up to open the door.

Outside the door, Dara stood with his hands on his hips, his face tense: "What are you doing? How can you cast spells in a room?"

Blatt gave an awkward smile: "Sorry, it happened so suddenly, nothing was broken, really."

Dara looked into the house and met Anser's gaze. She was slightly startled, then immediately looked away, her expression softening.

"There won't be a next time. You'd better clean up quickly. I'll come to check tomorrow, and you'll have to pay for any damage."

“No problem,” Blatt readily agreed.

After watching Dara go downstairs, he quickly closed the door and looked at Anser with a resentful expression.

It wasn't that he was stingy, but it was really terrifying just now; the roof was shaking.

"Unexpected, unexpected." Anser hadn't anticipated this either, and he quickly changed the subject, "Have you tallied the spoils? How was the haul?"

“Not bad,” Blatt said, mimicking Dara’s tone.

He sat down opposite Anser and laid out his things one by one.

Two money pouches, two wands, a magic ring, two bottles of ordinary quality healing potions, three bottles of unknown blue potions, two pocket watches, a waist pouch, and other miscellaneous items.

Without spellbooks, perhaps they would have given up on becoming mages.

There were no robes either. Anser remembered that Fabian's robes were quite nice; he figured Gais had probably used them to exchange for the "class change ceremony." He picked up one of the money pouches; its purple leather surface was painted with a griffin-headed, lion-bodied creature, about the size of a palm, radiating a faint magical aura.

"It looks like Fabian's money bag."

The die was spun gently, and its information was quickly determined.

[Magical Item: Treasure Pouch]

Category: Curiosities
Rarity: Common

This unique money bag is sewn in the style of a griffin's jeweled saddlebag.

The purse is 6 inches (15 cm) wide and can hold up to 1000 coins.

The coins taken from the purse were all brand new, shining as if they had just been minted. No matter how many coins were inside, the purse always weighed one pound.

"That's great!" Anser raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of excitement.

He opened his money bag and poured it onto the floor. The coins gushed out like flowing water, creating a visually striking scene.

“So many, count them quickly…” Blatt quickly lay down on his side to block the coins and gems rolling around.

Finn simply emptied the money from his other purse and counted it all together.

"That's a bit low." Anser glanced over and saw that platinum coins made up a very small percentage.

The three of them gathered together and counted for a while. There were a total of sixteen gems of various colors, as well as coins worth more than eight hundred gold coins.

The largest quantities are silver and copper coins, totaling five or six hundred, along with several dozen rare silver-gold coins, over two hundred gold coins, and more than fifty platinum coins, representing various currency systems.

Anser knew that Fabian's money was definitely more than that. He didn't know what Fabian's professional level was, but a mage who could afford to build a mage tower was either an elite professional or came from a wealthy family. In short, he couldn't be poor.

Moreover, he earns thousands of gold coins from dozens of apprentices every year.

"Guess squandered it all. How foolish! He spent money to be a guinea pig for a cult. He was desperate and grasped at straws..."

Fortunately, this money bag is quite good. It's not of high grade, but it's extremely useful. If it were put up for auction, I'm sure professionals or nobles would be willing to pay a high price for it.

He continued to examine the other loot and found that this money bag was the only valuable item; apart from the three bottles of healing potions, everything else was "useless."

Two wands, one a common-quality fireworks wand, which can only be used to set off fireworks, entertain the public, or as a signal flare.

The other is a high-quality Spiderweb Wand with the Spiderweb spell, but like the Divine Berry Wand, it relies on the web and spell slots, making it extremely unstable. Using it in battle would probably only hasten your death.

The ring is a water-walking ring, of excellent quality, with a water-walking spell, but you need to cast it yourself, just like the Spiderweb Wand.

These magical items are rapidly depreciating in value; nobody wants them anymore.

The effects of the four bottles of demon-purifying potions were unknown, and no one dared to use them; they could only leave them for now.

Anser put all his money and jewels into the treasure pouch. With this, he wouldn't have to worry about carrying too much money around his waist anymore.

"How to divide?"

Blatt and Finn exchanged a glance: "82 points, you get 8."

"This is outrageous, let's call it June 4th." Anser did not deny his own importance, but he could not underestimate the contributions of his teammates.

Without Finn, he couldn't track the other person down. Blatt did all the dirty work and was always at the forefront. The two of them were indispensable.

"Listen to you."

"Ah."

Healing potions are considered public consumables, while magical items, gems, and miscellaneous goods are sold and the proceeds are distributed among the buyers.

After deducting the more than 300 gold coins that the team owed Anser, Anser ultimately took the treasure pouch and 200 gold coins, and Blatt and the other man split the remaining money equally.

Overall, Anser still came out on top; the jeweled purse was priceless and not something you could just buy whenever you wanted.
