Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

Even now, Miles still remembers how those two cold-blooded bastards laughed heartily after hearing his last words.

So, when Miles rushed into the mine with a heart full of tension and worry,

When he saw the boy's back, the image of the masked demon from years ago appeared in his eyes.

Almost identical build, identical uniform, identical stance.

Moreover, the other party was already standing next to a dwarf miner.

"Da da da..."

Sweat beaded on Miles' forehead as he hurried forward, panting, with a thousand questions swirling in his mind.

As he drew closer, the boy's voice reached his ears first:

"This manuscript looks different from those on the market. Is that your own idea?"

"No, Master, this is the work of Lord Miles, and he even created a work schedule to improve efficiency."

"Speaking of which, although this job is indeed tiring, Lord Miles has given us plenty of rest time, and..."

Just as the miner was about to launch into a long speech, ready to extol Miles's greatness, he discovered that Miles had somehow appeared beside him:

"Oh, Lord Miles, when did you arrive?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding miners greeted Miles, completely unaware of the strange expression on his face.

"You...you came here just to see them?"

Miles looked at the boy who was smiling and stroking his chin as he observed the miners' movements, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Um?"

Victor glanced at the panting gray dwarf, not understanding what the man had been doing to be so exhausted in such a short time.

"Not entirely."

He shook his head and pointed to the ground:

"You've probably guessed why I'm here."

Miles looked in the direction the boy pointed and saw the ground covered with light blue magic crystals.

It is indeed rare to find something that serves as a magical extract, a material for making wands and magical tools, and a one-time magical explosive.

But those are at least level 3 or higher, high-grade magic crystals that are hard to find and very expensive.

As for this level one...

"Wait, what's that?"

Just as Miles thought that Victor might want to take some level 1 magic crystals, he saw a black crystal the size of an eyeball under a group of light blue stones.

"This is a black crystal worm."

Before he could finish speaking, Victor had already reached the black crystal, crouched down, and picked it up.

He held the black crystal between two fingers and displayed it to everyone.

"These creatures live in the cave layers year-round, and their favorite food is magic crystals. In addition, they also target many items that are tainted with magic."

As he spoke, Victor placed the black crystal in his palm, then raised his other hand and released a small amount of magic.

But after everyone stared at it in confusion for a few seconds, the black crystal did not react at all.

"Is that really an insect? I even picked up a piece for my daughter before."

One of the miners muttered something, and someone next to him immediately nudged him in the side with their elbow.

He glared at her, about to retort.

But at that moment, the expressions of those around them changed. The miner who had just spoken also looked over, only to be surprised to find...

The black crystal in the mage's hand actually began to tremble.

"Squeak..."

Then, the Ink Crystal Insect emitted a tiny sound, and a slender segmented limb popped out from each tip, with a sharp cone growing from the head-like position.

It propped itself up and tried to crawl from Victor's right palm to his left.

But before it could move, Victor's left hand suddenly flipped over, and then his index finger and thumb came together, swiftly grabbing its head.

With a strong pull, a black, sharp cone was ripped off.

"After the Ink Crystal Insect dies, it still needs to be processed before it can be used as material. I'll keep this one."

As he spoke, the crystal-like black insect collapsed, its dozen or so segments drooping down, and was tucked into Viktor's sleeve.

At this moment, several miners looked at the person who had spoken earlier with a hint of schadenfreude:

"Hurry up and get it for the Master, it would be bad if your daughter got hurt."

The man's face flushed red, and he looked somewhat nervous.

"Yes, yes! The Master is right!"

As he spoke, he put down his manuscript and walked out, bowing slightly as he passed Miles:

"Lord Miles, I..."

"Your pay won't be deducted, go ahead."

Miles waved his hand and smiled.

Seeing this, the miner scratched his head and ran out of the mine.

As he watched the other person's back recede into the distance, Miles took a deep breath, finally relaxing.

He turned around, intending to apologize to Victor, only to find that the other man had already picked up the miner's manuscript and was studying it.

Furthermore, the boy was gesturing with his other hand in the air with great interest, as if he were outlining some kind of rune.

"..."

Seeing this, Miles looked away and glanced at the dwarf workers who had resumed their work. Suddenly, he felt a little ashamed and couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

I was indeed too suspicious. How could I use what I had seen before in the present? Not every student of Silvermoon Academy is evil.

Thinking about it this way, he felt even more that his previous idea of ​​trying to catch the other person was incredibly foolish.

Perhaps that was the best time for him to build a friendship with the boy.

However, businessmen never give up any opportunity.

"If you need more materials, Master, I can help you gather them."

Yes, he did see through Viktor's purpose in coming.

He already knew this when the other party stepped onto the wooden bridge outside the territory and summoned the Mage's Hand to take some of the aquatic fluorescent grass.

What the other party needs are magical materials.

"Help me gather information?"

From an angle unseen by Miles, Victor's lips curled into a slight smile, which quickly faded as he slowly turned his head to the side.

"Is there anything you want me to do for you?"

"No, no, no, your willingness to stay here is the greatest help you can give me."

Unlike his previous beaming smile, Miles's smile was much more natural now, even though he still held a strange reverence for Victor.

"Please consider this a small token of the local lord's appreciation."

"..."

Seeing the other person's expression, Victor smiled and then glanced at the group of miners, noticing that everyone was smiling at him.

He then nodded: "Alright, I was originally planning to leave tomorrow, but I'll stay a few more days then."

......

Meanwhile, inside Silvermoon Academy.

In the office, the quill pen, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly began to write:

In the mine, Victor used the explanation of the Ink Crystal Worm to improve his relationship with the local lord and win the hearts of the people.

"Um?"

Lutia's expression was a little strange when she saw the writing on it, but she didn't pay too much attention to it and turned her gaze back to the cube in front of her.
