  "Three runes, including a non-universal rune for [Fireball].

  According to the general price of low-level zero-level magic tools on the stalls in the wizard market, it can be worth at least dozens of low-level magic stones."

  Ronan secretly estimated the value of the fireball ring in his hand, but he was not sure about the intermediate magic ring with double [Protection] runes.

  This thing is too high-end, you have to go to a professional magic tool store like Weiling Workshop to buy it.

  "This guy just drank a bottle of potion, he might have some on him."

  After taking off the ring, Ronan no longer had any psychological barriers to touching the corpse. Perhaps the huge gain overwhelmed his fear of the corpse.

  This time he squatted directly beside the corpse and groped all over its body with his hands.

  Soon there was a reward - Ronan found a black waist bag with exquisite patterns under his robe on the right side.

  I opened it quickly, but found very little inside.

  In addition to a dozen low-level magic stones, there was a bottle of potion and a round brass badge.

  Ronan was a little disappointed.

  But that's normal, no wizard would carry all his belongings with him all the time.

  Ronan picked up the potion and took a look at it. He had not yet started learning potions and had no idea what was inside.

  "Go find a pharmacy and compare them and you'll know for sure."

  Put down the potion and pick up the brass badge.

  There is a small green owl pattern printed on the surface of the badge.

  It looks like an exclusive member badge of a certain organization or force.

  Thinking of this, Ronan's heart suddenly began to lift again.

  Organized representatives have backers.

  Now that he had died here, would anyone come to investigate in the future?

  What if they found him as the "murderer"?

  Could there be an accomplice on the way?

  Hunting, revenge, blood debt with blood.

  All kinds of plots he had seen in movies, television, news and novels in his previous life began to roll around in his mind uncontrollably.

  Ronan couldn't help but shudder slightly, and the aftereffects of the previous murder came back to him.

  He suddenly didn't dare to stay in this place any longer.

  He hurriedly gathered up all the valuables, threw the badge and waist bag back onto the corpse, turned around and walked away at a very fast pace.

  Originally, he wanted to go back to the place where the first corpse was found to take another look.

  Now I just give up the idea and want to escape as quickly as possible.

  For fear of being found, Ronan did not dare to return to his tree house for three days.

  Wandering in the wild, sleeping in the open, and almost stopping all daily activities except meditation.

  Three days later.

  Ronan, dusty and exhausted, returned to his cabin.

  He carefully took out the key, pushed the door open, and looked around.

  Inside the dim and cramped little house, everything was basically the same as when he left.

  The first thing to do is to check the glove box in the corner.

  After seeing that the several engraved [Clean] and [Shining] runes and the magic stones he had saved were still there and not lost.

  Ronan then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair.

  During these three days, Ronan also sorted out everything.

  The wizard he killed was also a "murderer" himself.

  The place he chose for the murder was in the wild near the depths of the forest. After I saw the murder process, he was eager to silence me. It was obvious that he had done something shameful.

  Such people must act in secret. After death, the two bodies are thrown into a dense forest full of wild beasts. The smell of blood attracts carnivores, and they are "cleaned up" completely in two hours at most.

  Apart from myself, no one else in the world will know what happened at that place that day.

  All my previous worries were indeed a bit unnecessary.

  but.

  Although he thought so, Ronan still lived like a frightened bird in the next month.

  It was as if I had returned to the state when I first came through.

  It was not until he took the magic stones he had saved up and found time to go to the market, where he bought a bottle of low-level mind-concentrating potion and drank it, successfully becoming a fourth-level wizard apprentice. Only then did he slowly calm down.

  "Crash!"

  On the calm lake surface, a figure emerged from the water.

  He is a young man with a slender figure.  

  Fair skin, lake blue eyes, and half-long chestnut hair sticking wetly to the shoulders. He has a kind of masculine and wild handsomeness.

  Ronan grabbed a handful of hair, shook out a handful of water droplets, and then walked step by step onto the grass by the lake.

  Ronan sat down casually under the lush green walnut tree, letting the breeze dry the water stains on his body.

  "Nothing has happened for more than a month...it's highly likely that everything is fine."

  Ronan murmured quietly.

  Just yesterday he had gone out of his way to sneak back to that spot deep in the forest.

  It was discovered that the body of the dead wizard had long disappeared, and all traces of the two battlefields were covered and buried by newly grown weeds.

  "Even if there are magical means to track him down, in this situation... it would probably be difficult."

  Ronan thought about it, and then took out two rings, one black and one red, from his waist.

  These were the two magical rings that Ronan had taken from the wizard. He would take them out and play with them from time to time during this period.

  "With my current mental strength, it's a bit difficult to activate the two [Protection] runes on the ring at the same time. If I want to be able to do it easily without affecting the use of other methods, I think I need the strength of a sixth-level wizard apprentice."

  Ronan judged from this that the wizard's strength was at the level of a sixth-level wizard apprentice, or even a seventh-level wizard apprentice.

  Such a powerful guy died in my hands. The thought makes me feel lucky.

  "He underestimated the enemy, was in poor condition, and seriously underestimated my combat power, which ultimately led to his failure and death."

  Ronan reviewed the situation in his mind, secretly taking this as a typical negative example to remind himself from time to time.

  Ronan also became proficient in using another magical tool enchanted with [Fireball].

  This thing is really useful. With simple guidance of mental power, it can trigger a fireball. The power is similar to normal spellcasting, but the release speed is much faster.

  After one channeling, the cooling time is about twenty seconds. It feels like it can only be used two or three times at most in a battle.

  Ronan also understood the other two low-level runes on the ring. They were a non-universal rune called [Acceleration], which slightly increased the speed at which the wizard cast spells.

  It is very useful at the low-level apprenticeship stage, but becomes useless above that.

  Ronan didn't dare wear the two magical rings, but he always carried them with him in case of emergency.

  Carefully putting the ring back into his waist bag, Ronan stood up, shook himself off, and put on his robe.

  It's very comfortable to wear without a lining, especially after a shower.

  However, Ronan's only two robes were a bit worn out, and the one he was wearing even had several holes in it. If he ran, the wind would blow into the robe.

  "I have to buy a new one."

  Ronan touched the hole on his robe, thought about it, and decided, "Why not just buy a robe?"

  Ronan now has some savings.

  He had earned magic stones from rune engraving for more than a month, accumulated before, and taken from the pockets of dead wizards. After deducting the money for buying a bottle of low-level mind-concentrating potion, he now had more than thirty low-level magic stones left on hand.

  The most common wizard robe can be bought for only a dozen low-level magic stones. If it is second-hand, it will be even cheaper.

  Unfortunately, Ronan doesn't have much money. If he had sufficient funds, he would definitely consider buying a set of magical leather armor.

  During this month, his proficiency in [Austerity Body Tempering] has increased a lot, and his physical strength has also improved significantly. If he can change into a set of magical leather armor, he can bring out a lot of his physical advantages.

  But having a [Protection] ring is not a very necessary requirement.

  Ronan walked towards the forest.

  As you walk, you can easily call up your character panel.
