Chapter 8 Spell
"Remembering"
Look at the meaning expressed by the characters.
Does that mean there is a spell?
It is hard not to think in this direction with words like these, after all, they are deliberately carved on the metal ingot.
Spell...spell?
What could it be?
Alka couldn't help but think in his mind, and began to recall through his familiarity with Jack.
"Poker cards, fantasy poker numbers... Poker card treasure hunt."
"If it's not the name of the ship or the name of the treasure hunting group, then what else could it be?"
What would this Jack be most likely to use to start the spell?
Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to the portrait on the dining table in the room.
The portrait was of Jack Monk. The portrait had its own name printed on the bottom of the frame, which was said to have been Jack's catchphrase.
"False truth."
As the words fell, it seemed as if there was magic in these words.
The solid metal ingot placed on the edge of the bed in front of him began to melt like boiling syrup.
The solid metal slid down both sides like a highly viscous liquid.
Gives a mercury texture.
The contents of the metal ingot were revealed.
It was an extremely ordinary wooden box. You could see that the material of the wood seemed to be quite good, and the workmanship was also okay, but it was very simple.
After all the liquid had slid off the wooden box, it condensed again under the box into a metal block about the size of a palm, which pushed the box up.
Although it is only the size of a palm, its thickness is still the same as before.
“Is this the real treasure?”
Everything in the scene just now showed Alka how precious this treasure was.
This is a treasure hidden by special means.
The heart is beating excitedly.
"Inhale, exhale."
He took a deep breath and brought the box in front of him.
Open gently.
A blue ring, a palm-sized booklet, and three cards stacked together and sliding down slightly.
Take them out one by one.
The blue ring has a metallic texture and is large enough to fit on an adult's thumb. It has no patterns or gemstones.
A very very plain ring.
He took the three cards in his hand and checked them one by one.
It is similar to ordinary poker cards , but obviously heavier, and feels like a specially treated smooth paper card.
It's a bit like the playing cards in my previous world, but the playing cards in this world are quite rough, unlike these ones, which are very advanced.
It gives people an extraordinary feeling when you touch it.
The patterns on the three playing cards are not the suits of playing cards, but strange symbols.
The pattern on the first card looks like a cross, but the color of the cross is a fiery orange-red, and the back of the card is a reddish gradient color.
On the second card, there is a simple rapier icon printed straight in the center. The color of the icon is metallic silver, and the back of the card is a gradient metallic silver-gray.
The third card has a circular ring on it, which looks like a blue ring formed by water flow, and the back of the card is a gradient light blue.
“Is this smooth card surface, this bright color, and this gradient pattern really something that can be achieved in this era?”
"No, it's not even from this era, it's from 200 years ago."
Alka suddenly remembered that this thing was a legacy left by people 200 years ago, and refuted himself.
Whether it is the ring or the three cards, they all reveal their obvious extraordinaryness.
Look at the final harvest, the manual.
It is about the size of an adult's palm, a bit like Alka's treasure hunting manual.
However, the surface of the manual feels like some kind of biological leather. It is snow-white in color, has fine texture, and is soft and smooth to the touch.
There is no text on it.
And it's very thin.
Open it and take a look.
The densely packed text reveals a sense of elegance and is also decorated with some simple hand-drawn patterns.
After a quick look, I found that the booklet is divided into three parts.
I turned back to Part 1 and read it carefully.
"The Cross of True Fire, this spell originates from the Scepter-class treasure - the Incineration Molten Tree.
Originally, the spell had to be drawn on magical materials in order to achieve its effect.
But after my improvement, the same effect can be achieved by mixing fire-related materials with magic power and painting on hard paper made from the bark of the oil reed tree.
The power of the spell produced is related to the material of the painting. The better the material, the more powerful the spell card produced.
I recommend painting materials using…
..."
Alka looked at the words on the manual, then turned back to the three cards.
It was a very thin booklet and Alka finished reading it in a short time.
The entire booklet is equivalent to a production manual.
The content inside teaches people how to make those three cards, and it is written in great detail.
Including how to draw the above spell, which drawing material is more cost-effective, yes, it is cost-effective.
Alka also knew the effects these three cards could produce and how to use them.
But the problem is that these three cards are consumables and will be consumed after being used once.
If you want to make it, besides spending money, you also need one very necessary thing - magic.
Not to mention Alka's experience, this was the first time he knew this thing and the first time he knew this word.
Extraordinary power is right in front of me, but the painful thing is that I don’t have the foundation for it.
The so-called magic power should be the foundation of the extraordinary. I don’t know whether this thing requires qualifications, meditation or practice.
I couldn't help but feel worried.
He calmed himself down a little and focused his attention on the ring, which he didn't know what it was.
"What is this thing? What is its use?"
Looking at the ring in her hand, Alka wanted to wear it but was a little cautious.
It would be troublesome if it required magic power to work, or if it forcibly absorbed magic power to open.
Who knows if magic power is something that is bound to one's life.
Thinking of this, Alka's eyes drifted to the side and turned to the manual that contained the map.
After thinking about it, he clicked on the blue dot again.
Now that I have unlocked the inheritance, will the information I have gained change?
【Jack's Magic Treasure】
[ Difficulty : Adult]
【Popularity: 1325】
[Treasure information: The legacy of the captain of the famous treasure-hunting ship "Dream Poker" - "Magician" Jack Monk. ]
[Treasures Harvested: 1 Gold Sail, 1 Gold Leaf, 6 Silver Snakes. "Magician" Ring, 3 Spell Cards, Jack's Spell Interpretation.]
Changed.
The inheritance of "Magician" Jack Monk is broken down into three specific items.
This ring is called the Magician.
But the size seemed a bit too big for Alka's thumb.
After thinking about it, Alka inserted it directly into his thumb.
As soon as he put the ring on, it seemed to shrink and immediately fit his thumb.
It's different now.
A different feeling is coming.
