This adventurer is overly righteous.

"Of course I know you know magic, otherwise how could you have sneaked in?" Logan knew that Kroya must have mastered some kind of magic to hide himself in the cave and avoid being discovered by the vampires and goblins. "But that wouldn't make much difference if you tried to escape."

Otherwise, he would have run away long ago.

"To be called a magician, knowing only one or two spells is not enough."

Among adventurers, there are also those with some magical talent, like Kroya in front of us. They may have mastered a few spells, but they are still far from being true magicians. The gap is as big as that between a child who has just learned to count and a mathematician.

"But what kind of magic do you know?"

Logan inquired, implying that the other party must possess some useful magic, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.

"Flash of Light..."

Kroya first explained his divine magic, and Logan shook his head slightly.

They weren't very useful for escaping, but the fact that Kroya was an apprentice priest surprised him. If the other party were a legitimate priest, perhaps he could try to eliminate the vampire directly.

"Besides that, there are three other spells," Kroya scratched his head and continued, "The specific effects are allowing one to move without breathing, creating fire in the palm of one's hand, and softening rocks."

"but......."

"Great!" Logan still kept his voice low, but his tone was somewhat excited. On the one hand, it was a rare treat for him to have a full meal, and on the other hand, Kroya had given him really good news.

"I saw a map of the underground waterways around here in Adrian's room. We can follow the underground water flow. With your magic, we don't need to worry about drowning."

Furthermore, the fire-making magic that Kroya possesses can solve their problem of hypothermia in the water, allowing them to dry their bodies and warm themselves up in time.

"When do we make our move?" Logan asked excitedly, a far cry from his dejected appearance not long ago.

  

Of course he wanted to escape, but he couldn't do it on his own. So he could only choose a way to make himself a little more comfortable during this torturous time. But the appearance of Kroya made things different. Logan wanted to take back all his past disdain for Kroya, and he began to look forward to Kroya taking him to safety.

"We'll have to wait until you recover..." Kroya looked Logan over. Given Logan's current physical condition, even soaking him in cold water for a while would probably be life-threatening.

The goblin needs some food to recover its strength. Fortunately, the goblin's appetite is not very large, and now that Kroya has a way to obtain food, it's just a matter of time.

"And after I learned those three spells."

Logan frowned, and the joy on his face began to fade.

"So..." Logan wished he'd misheard, "you don't actually know those three spells right now, and you're going to learn them on the spot?"

Logan repeated what he understood, wanting a negative answer from Chroya. He wanted to hear Chroya confidently say, "How could that be? I learned these three spells from a magician..." or something similar to reassure him.

"That's right, it shouldn't take too long. Those three spells are relatively simple." Kroya took out the book he had taken from the adventurer from his pack. The three spells recorded in it could come in handy here.

Kroya felt he was lucky, though it was also possible that these three spells were recorded because of their versatility.

"These are all spells that only use three or four runes. Give me some time..."

"Ugh."

Logan couldn't help but sigh and leaned back against the rock wall. In his opinion, Kroya's idea of ​​quickly learning magic was completely unrealistic; learning magic wasn't like that.

He had tried to learn it himself, but just figuring out the meaning of two or three runes was enough to give him a headache. The magic that combined the runes was like a book written in heaven. Even with the training of the Adventurers' Guild, Logan only knew two spells for concealing himself.

One is to eliminate the sounds made by physical activity, and the other is to temporarily become invisible.

Such a result is quite good. Combined with the natural racial talents of goblins, he became a qualified spy.

"How's your rune foundation?"

Logan asked, unwilling to give up, "If the other party had mastered the runes involved in this spell beforehand, then perhaps we could have some hope."

"good."

Kroya focused on his studies. He found it easy; the words in the book were simple and easy to understand. After all, he was fundamentally different from those illiterate or semi-literate adventurers in terms of learning ability. Reading more books was beneficial, especially since Kroya had a very high level of understanding of each basic rune.

What does "it's alright" mean?

Logan felt this wasn't a good answer.

"It's alright," Kroya said, closing the book and letting out a breath. "I think I've got it now."

Of course, this is just a feeling. Understanding something in your mind doesn't mean you understand it in your hands. Kroya understood the specific principles, and all that was left was to put them into practice.

"You can use those spells now?"

Logan began to find things absurd.

"We have to give it a try," Kroya said frankly, then took out the forging manual that Leijin had lent him.

"You mean you can now cast those spells just by chanting incantations?" Logan asked again, starting to think that Kroya wasn't human anymore.

Magicians have varying degrees of mastery over different spells, ranging from high to low, and can generally be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage involves casting magic with the help of tools and props. Magicians inscribe runes on the props in advance and cast spells as if reading from a book. Most magicians have a wand with several spells recorded on it, so they can use spells that they are not familiar with.

This is similar to the principle of magic items, but magic items are much more expensive. After all, magic items allow people who know nothing about magic to use spells, while magic items are far inferior and only play an auxiliary role for magicians.

The second stage is being able to cast spells by reciting incantations, which requires a high level of skill from the magician and can only be achieved when one is extremely familiar with magic.

As for the third stage, that is casting magic without chanting. This is almost the highest level. The opponent can cast magic with just their thoughts. Only a very few magicians can practice a spell to such a proficient level.

It's as if Kroya has skipped the first stage and gone straight to the second stage. After all, he doesn't seem to have any special materials that can be used to inscribe runes, which means that the opponent can't use the simplest way to cast magic.

"Of course not."

Kroya opened Leijin's forging notes and immediately flipped to the last blank page.

Lejin cast a spell on the entire book to prevent Kroya from accidentally damaging it during his adventure.

In other words, this entire book is made of special materials capable of carrying magic.

"Fortunately, Leikin didn't fill it up completely."

He could use those blank pages to practice magic. At the same time, Kroya also decided to apologize and compensate Lejin when he got back. That guy was extremely greedy, and if the compensation was sufficient, the other party shouldn't care too much.
