38: Chapter 38 Leather Armor, Pockets, and Potions

The wild rhino leather armor recommended by the dwarf in the shop was indeed a protective inner armor quite suitable for Ross.

Wearing this inner leather armor on Ross himself could improve his defensive capabilities.

After Ross handed 150 magic stones to the dwarf, this wild rhino leather armor of excellent quality belonged to Ross.

He put on the leather armor, and the rhino leather did not have the rough feeling of animal fur that Ross had imagined.

He even felt that the fit between the inside of this leather armor and his own body was quite high.

This type of magical creature leather armor forged by dwarves could not only provide significant assistance in defensive power.

In terms of comfort, it also made Ross very satisfied.

It seemed that his choice was not wrong—a piece of equipment that could serve as a guarantee for his life.

And provide effective protection could play a role when Ross had limited magic stones on hand.

"Magical creatures are creatures infected by magic power. These wild magical creatures have not yet been tamed by wizards. Therefore, the cost of obtaining their leather is also a huge margin higher than that of fully tamed magical animals."

"However, correspondingly, the leather of these creatures is sturdier, and the power contained within cannot be compared to some weak magical animals that can only survive by relying on wizards feeding them."

"These magical creatures also have a rather concise yet vivid title, 'monsters'. Capturing a demonic rhino of this quality in the wild is not an easy task. It often requires several Wizard Apprentices cooperating to ensure the integrity of its leather."

The dwarf in the shop praising the wild rhino leather armor like this was naturally to make Ross feel that it was worth the money.

After all, 150 magic stones were no longer a small amount for a Wizard Apprentice.

If they were not some 'rich people' among apprentices, very few would buy such high-quality leather armor at the stage of a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice like Ross did.

It was not that this leather armor was not worth this price, but rather that there were simply too many places where a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice needed to use magic stones.

Whether it was learning magic knowledge, purchasing wizard models, or buying potions to enhance mental power, ordinary Level 3 Wizard Apprentices simply had no opportunity to keep the magic stones in their hands.

Coupled with the fact that these apprentices did not have enough strength to accept commissions requiring going out, naturally they had no need to purchase such defensive leather armor equipment.

As a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, the magic stones Ross spent at this stage were already unimaginable to them.

This kind of magic stone consumption should at least be at the level of some seasoned Level 2 Wizard Apprentices.

It was truly full of extravagance.

Having magic stones made one willful.

Actually, it wasn't that Ross was extravagant; it was simply that the risks of going out were unacceptable to Ross.

Having finally managed to embark on the extraordinary path of a wizard, naturally he had to keep his little life safe and climb upward.

"Do you have a spatial pocket here? As long as it can hold a normal-sized magic plant, it'll do."

Ross thought that if his Hand of Vines wanted to exert its full effect, he still needed to carry the magic plant close at hand.

Right now, that high-quality 'Water Lily Magic Plant' screened out by Ross was still lying in Professor Pulang's high-level plantation.

Coming out this time, he would resolve the spatial pocket he needed all at once.

Within the academy, he only used this spell when cultivating magic plants.

Therefore, not having a spatial pocket didn't matter.

However, this spell could not only play a role in magic plant cultivation.

It itself was one of the introductory spells of the Botany School.

It had quite significant functional roles in exploring traps, communicating with plants, and utilizing plants.

Relying on 'apprentice-grade' magic plants, Ross casting this spell could also deal with quite a few complex environments.

After being modified by Professor Pulang, the attack power of the [Hand of Vines] was also quite considerable.

Although it couldn't compare to the 'Magic Flame' currently driven by the 'void' element in Ross's hands, which was the [Void Flame].

But if Ross attacked with a burst of fire, there would be power, but estimatedly nothing would be left as loot at the scene.

For example, if Ross wanted to hunt wild magical creatures like the 'wild rhino'.

If he attacked with 'Magic Flame', I'm afraid all that would be left for Ross would be some roasted meat, although the monster's meat also had value.

But destroying the precious leather would be a great pity.

Using the [Hand of Vines] was different; with the help of some coordination to cast this spell.

He could use the wild environment, manipulate magic plants, and coordinate with ordinary plants in the environment to trap the prey in a small range.

Exhausting the monster to the maximum extent could instead preserve the harvest of the battle to the greatest extent.

Besides, only diverse methods could embody and exert a wizard's maximum power.

"Of course. Whether it is a magical spatial pocket with a small space but low price, or a magical spatial ring with a larger space, greater stability, and better aesthetics, I have them all here."

Dwarf Parker replied.

"Then get me a magical spatial pocket." Ross said.

"Very well, Your Excellency. A standard 3-cubic-meter spatial pocket costs 100 magic stones. Thank you for your patronage." The dwarf found an antique yet clearly brand-new magical spatial pocket from the counter drawer and handed it to Ross.

This shop truly had some level of skill.

As for wild adventures and executing field missions, the equipment that could be bought here basically met the requirements below Official Wizards.

It was also a boutique shop in the Wizard Bazaar seen by Ross.

"There are 50 magic stones left. This bit of magic stones is just enough to buy 50 apprentice-grade magic plant seeds. It's impossible to buy another piece of equipment. Next, I will buy some outdoor potions that might be needed when encountering danger."

The expression on Ross's face remained unchanged as he slowly calculated in his heart.

"I see you still have some potions displayed in the showcase here. What kind of effects do they all have?"

Ross's gaze lingered on those 'potions' not far away.

"There is 'Siling Ointment' that can quickly restore a wizard's mental power and magic power. It is a magic potion that can take effect faster than the calming potion, and the price is 20 magic stones."

"There is also the 'Crimson Potion' which can recover external injuries. For some minor flesh wounds, applying it can accelerate wound healing. The price of this magic potion is also 20 magic stones. These two types of potions are also the best-selling magic potions that might be needed for wild travel."

Dwarf Parker introduced the information of the two types of magic potions in detail.

These magic potions were basically purchased from formal potion makers, and there were corresponding anti-counterfeiting marks on them.

Those who opened shops in the Wizard Bazaar needed to spend a large amount of magic stones on shop rent every year, and reputation was extremely precious to them.

Naturally, the quality of the magic potions and potions was also more guaranteed than the unbranded products sold by those stall-setting Wizard Apprentices outside.
