Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

"That rampaging surge of magic must have seeped into the ground at night, especially during magic tides, a phenomenon that is quite common."

Seeing that Victor suddenly became worried about her, Laura smiled and explained:

"Besides, you seem to have forgotten that I can no longer be considered human, and I don't feel pain even when I'm injured."

The second sentence echoed in Viktor's mind.

Looking at the quiet-looking senior student in front of him, who only reached his chest, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

It doesn't feel pain when it gets injured, which has nothing to do with the role of a magical pet; it's just that the other party isn't truly alive right now.

Fortunately, he had only been concerned about the damage to his magical pet, and now that he heard the other party say the same thing, he was completely relieved.

"All right."

He gave Laura a deep look, then nodded in response.

Then, looking at Miles who was still somewhat dazed, he said, "Lead the way."

He had just cast a curse on himself, and soon he would suffer two backlash effects: "slowed movement" and "doubled fatigue".

I desperately need to find a place to rest.

"..."

Miles had no idea what Victor was about to face.

He was still shaken, and when he heard the boy speak to him, his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Despite her unease, she still managed to reply in a low voice, "Yes, esteemed Master."

As soon as he took a step, deep fear and regret welled up in his eyes.

He regretted not using gentler methods to befriend Victor from the beginning and instead using money to secure a possible collaboration.

However, after taking a few more steps, sensing a faint but palpable pressure behind him, his expression calmed down again.

As he took a deep breath, his eyes dimmed completely.

If his previous surrender wasn't complete, as he still wanted to test Victor and Laura's trump cards, then now he was utterly defeated.

Just as Laura said, the magical shock before wasn't strong, but it was indeed the aftershock of the magical tide a few days ago.

If you leave that kind of thing alone, you'll be fine. But if someone deliberately triggers it, then it's a different story.

But he was the one who triggered the aftershocks of that tide, and he understood how fast and subtle the attack was, and how powerful it was at close range.

That blow could severely injure at least two children.

Logically speaking, Viktor looks so young that he shouldn't be more than 16 years old. How could such a naive mage react before the magical tide occurs?

"If this person doesn't possess an epic-level sensory artifact, then they must be exceptionally talented, perhaps even the top genius in this year's academy."

He muttered to himself, the image of Viktor suddenly erupting from his gentle demeanor flashing through his mind again.

It's just like a dragon!

"Master, whether you believe me or not, I will never have any more ill intentions towards you. If possible, I hope we can make some deals in the future."

Driven by a desire to make amends for his various mistakes, Miles, despite the oppressive atmosphere behind him, spoke in a deep voice.

Viktor remained silent, a helpless smile on his face.

This gray dwarf is really bold. He just narrowly escaped death, and now he's thinking of making a deal with me.

However, he was still somewhat concerned about the seemingly insignificant deal offered by a gray dwarf.

This calculating fellow makes even surrendering such a complicated process; he doesn't believe the other party has no business achievements whatsoever.

"Let's talk about it later."

After this ambiguous statement was uttered,

The journey then became quiet. Although the path was still like a maze, it somehow made Viktor recall the meaning of his travels.

But there weren't any major setbacks in the middle.

Soon, a magical barrier appeared ahead, shrouded in three layers of different colors, each corresponding to one of the three moons.

As Victor followed Miles inside, his eyes lit up.

In view, there was a very large, man-made cave, and looking down the stone steps attached to the cave wall, there was actually a small town.

Although the road surface was somewhat uneven, the houses here were all made of wood, and judging from the residents chatting and laughing while holding wooden cups on several streets,

There are taverns here.

There were even children laughing and playing around.

"Really? The gray dwarves can create a positive and uplifting environment? Shouldn't it be a cold, oppressive, and traditional underground prison?"

Victor had never heard of the grey dwarves treating slaves well, and looked at Miles with a puzzled expression:

"This doesn't look like a place for slaves. Are you sure you haven't taken me to some small town?"

"..."

Hearing this, Miles, who had been too afraid to speak, finally felt a sense of relief. He glanced down at the town below and slowly began to speak:

"I know what you're trying to say, but I'm different from my compatriots who advocate for the oppression of slaves and the forced labor of them without conditions. I don't agree with that."

As he said this, a smile appeared on his face as he looked towards the hidden location of the mine:

"You probably can't understand what I'm saying, but I've definitely found that this kind of environment makes them work better for me."

After saying that, Miles lifted his leg and walked towards the stone steps.

Viktor stared at his retreating figure, and the revulsion in his heart subsided slightly.

He could certainly understand what the other person meant, because Miles's statement was very close to the most normal work system in his previous life.

The boss provides a salary, and the employees work for him—this is a positive cycle. But in most of the Grey Dwarf world, this concept doesn't exist.

"Shouldn't we keep up?"

Lost in thought, Victor heard Laura's question echoing in his mind. He turned his head and nodded slightly to the senior student before heading towards the stone steps.

......

With Miles's help, Victor and Laura were put into a newly cleaned cabin.

"This is a small house that was built a long time ago. Apart from the lack of decoration, it is fully equipped and is probably the best house here."

Miles had a big smile on his face, his hands folded in front of his chest and rubbing them back and forth.

Viktor's tense appearance made Laura, who was standing next to him, chuckle to herself.

"This is it. I'll make some adjustments. Come find me in half an hour."

Victor remained calm and didn't give Miles a friendly look.

"Squeak."

As soon as he closed the door, a wave of weariness washed over Viktor, and he quickly went to the only recliner in the room.

As soon as he lay down, he felt the exhaustion of working continuously for three days and three nights, and slowly closed his eyes:

"Senior, I need to sleep for a little while, just a little while..."

He fainted before he could finish speaking.

Laura was stunned to find Victor already asleep when she came out after inspecting the room's furnishings.

She didn't quite understand. Just a moment ago, her junior brother seemed full of energy and could even unleash his power. How could he have collapsed in the blink of an eye?

"Could it be from staying up all night?"
