110: New magic, a difference

At the same time, Clay, whose tin book had been taken, had a slight change in his expression.

He quickly turned his head to look at Beruke.

But Beruke, seeing this, only shook his head slightly.

Thus, Clay could only watch with unwillingness as Ron left the courtyard and disappeared from his sight.

"Lord Beruke, my spellbook..."

Clay said with a grim expression, feeling somewhat stifled.

The tin book Ron had taken earlier was precisely his spellbook.

It contained not only the thirty-plus spells he had accumulated over the years.

It also included the rewards issued in advance by the headquarters for this trip to Kura City!

He hadn't even had time to thoroughly study the newly acquired spells and meditation methods before Ron took them?

"Forget it, if it's taken, it's taken. I'll find someone to replace it for you when I go back next time..."

Beruke consoled him, thinking that Ron was retaliating against Clay.

After all, Uz's father, Uld, was a Five-Ring Mage.

He saw all kinds of magic on a daily basis, so why would he covet the spellbook of Clay, a One-Ring Mage?

Therefore, he believed that Ron's actions were purely to deliberately disgust Clay.

With this mindset, even if Beruke were to ask for it back, he certainly wouldn't get it.

Thus, Beruke could only offer temporary comfort, planning to find a way to compensate Clay later.

Clay also understood this and could only nod with a dejected expression.

"But, Lord Beruke, what exactly is this guy's background, that he could even make you..."

Peter, who was standing by, asked tentatively at this moment.

However, Beruke's expression darkened.

After a long silence, he finally said with utter helplessness.

"Don't ask. You just need to remember, absolutely do not provoke him."

"Otherwise... if he truly wants to kill, I won't be able to protect you."

Peter and Clay exchanged glances upon hearing this.

At the same time, on the other side.

After leaving the alley, the puppet immediately turned into another quiet street.

Then, it pulled out a bottle of Perfume Potion from its chest cavity.

This potion was originally refined by Ron to eliminate the foul odor produced when a Knight broke through.

It contained various spiritual substances that could effectively neutralize other special scents.

After spraying itself all over, the puppet then walked out.

Then, it took several turns before arriving at the back alley of the small restaurant.

At this moment, Ron removed his helmet, put his mask back on, and then stored both the puppet and the helmet into his storage space.

The storage space within this ancient god coin could effectively isolate Mental Energy and the targeting of various extraordinary forces.

One hour later.

Ron returned to his rented room and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Phew..."

After taking off his hat, Ron's complexion was slightly pale.

Although both the puppet and the helmet had energy crystals installed.

However, controlling the puppet's actions still relied on his Mental Energy.

After drinking some water and resting for a while, Ron began to review the situation.

"Judging by the reactions of Beruke and the others, both before and after..."

After carefully recalling for a moment, Ron's expression relaxed.

"The act I put on today indeed went off without a hitch."

"The image of the puppet Uz can also be considered established..."

Ron thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

According to the description in the intelligence, Uld, as a puppeteer.

Although he wasn't one of those extremely radical 'self-modification' types of existences.

But in order to improve his strength, he had also made many attempts that could be called outrageous.

Therefore, there were some issues with Uld's mind... And Uz, as Uld's son, had received his father's 'meticulous training' since childhood.

Over time, as he grew up, Uz also became mad and erratic.

Therefore, after Ron finished reading the intelligence and carefully considering it.

He decided to act unconventionally and provoke Beruke wildly.

This was precisely to simulate Uz's incredibly abstract side, to avoid revealing any flaws.

Of course, the most important reason why Ron dared to do this was that it wasn't he himself who went, but merely a low-level puppet.

Even if Beruke saw through the disguise, or if the provocation was not handled well and it all fell apart.

It wouldn't be a big deal; he would only need to detonate the built-in Blast Bomb to erase all traces.

After all, previous intelligence updates several times stated that Kura City had no Mages specializing in detection.

Therefore, Ron dared to try it with confidence this time.

"Oh, and Clay's spellbook!"

Ron's eyes flashed, and he took out the spellbook.

According to the intelligence, this spellbook was not an alchemical item; it was just a regular notebook modified by Clay.

To prevent it from also having the Stamen Potion, when he had the puppet bring it back earlier, he also sprayed it with Perfume Potion.

However, Ron was a bit overly cautious this time.

Because the Stamen Potion, according to its evaporation rate, usually only lasts for a maximum of twenty-four hours.

Therefore, Clay wouldn't spray the potion on his spellbook every day for no reason.

"Fireball Spell, Water Purification Spell, Open Door Spell, Blood-Stopping Spell, Shield Spell..."

After opening the pages, Ron first quickly skimmed through them.

"Good heavens, as expected of a formal Mage with a complete system!"

"Even if he's only a One-Ring Mage, he's accumulated thirty-five spells?"

Ron clicked his tongue in wonder, feeling very excited.

Although half of these thirty-five spells were just Apprentice-level magic.

And a small portion of these spells had roughly the same effects as the spells recorded in Mirar's spellbook.

For example, the Fireball Spell uses Mental Energy to manipulate fire elemental particles, igniting pre-prepared flammable or combustion-supporting materials.

Its function was quite similar to the Fireball Spell Ron obtained from Mirar.

The difference was that the former could only ignite, while the latter could directly produce a flame.

"Most of these spells are for auxiliary or defensive purposes."

"For example, the Water Purification Spell can purify turbid or poisoned water."

"If used in the wild, combined with the Fireball Spell and the Blood-Stopping Spell..."

Ron fell into deep thought. No wonder Clay, a mere One-Ring Mage, could be Beruke's confidant, just like Peter.

With just these auxiliary spells, he could handle all the non-combat support work of the entire branch!

After all, an ordinary One-Ring Mage's strength was only equivalent to an Apprentice Knight.

It was not worth the attention of Beruke, who was at the Armed Knight realm.

"And this Open Door Spell, it seems its effect can rival my Rogue skills!"

"As for the other spells, they are all very practical, and not difficult, so I estimate I can learn them easily..."

Looking at the spells in the book, Ron couldn't help but smile, feeling increasingly satisfied with this loot.
