Chapter 202: 201 Three Types of Magic Effects Chapter 202: 201 Three Types of Magic Effects Evening had come, and Shane finally managed to leave the Royal Palace and return to the Noble District in the Western District.
“That girl is really fierce…”
Recalling his previous treatment, Shane felt the urge to grimace.
“She actually bit me, was she really that angry?”
Shane touched his arm and was utterly speechless.
“If it weren’t for my Resistance Skill preventing it from breaking through my defense, there would be bite marks on my hand right now.”
But this incident showed just how infuriated the Princess was, to have gone that far.
“I was just speaking casually, was there really a need for her to be that angry?”
Shane muttered to himself but still headed towards Lilith’s Dessert Shop.
After all, to appease the Princess, Shane had promised to deliver delicious desserts as an apology for the next few days.
Otherwise, with that infuriated little kitten’s fierce demeanor at the time, whether she would forgive Shane and let him go was still an unknown.
“However, this is a cruel harm to my wallet.”
Touching the few gold coins he had left, Shane began to sigh.
Originally, the desserts from Lilith’s Dessert Shop were already exorbitantly expensive, and having to deliver them to the Princess every day was bound to bankrupt him.
Shane then lifted his hand, holding an object before his eyes.
That was the Magic Wand gifted to Shane by Jiasinta.
Thanks to his Identification skill, Shane could easily see through the power of this Magic Wand.
This Magic Wand was not only crafted from several extremely rare magic materials but also embedded with a top-level Magic Crystal, allowing a splendid flow of magic power within it, making it clear that it was no ordinary item.
Of course, even though it was extraordinary, this Magic Wand could never compare to the Holy Sword.
Shane’s Holy Sword was of the highest caliber, and theoretically, he didn’t need a magic wand, selling it could definitely net him a big sum of money.
“But the effects of this Magic Wand are so tempting, I can’t bear to part with it.”
This was a Magic Wand, not a Magic Staff.
In this world, there was a big difference between a Magic Wand and a Magic Staff.
Although both were Magic Weapons, their properties were entirely different.
Simply put, a Magic Wand is a weapon that inherently carries magical effects, while a Magic Staff is used to amplify a Mage’s own magic and magic power.
The former comes with one or several magic effects, and even civilians who are not adept at magic could use it. The magic power is provided by the Magic Crystal in the wand, but its use is limited to only the magic and magic effects carried by the wand itself, unable to produce other magic.
The latter is mainly for amplification, and therefore, in the hands of someone who can’t use magic, it would be nothing more than a wooden stick. However, in the hands of a Mage, it can be used to amplify the power and effects of their spells, reduce the consumption of magic power, and even add other properties to their magic, such as making the flames from Flame Magic more resistant to being extinguished.
Merica used a Magic Staff, so she could leverage its power to enhance the potency of her Flame Magic and Frost Magic.
And the Magic Wand given to Shane by Jiasinta could be used to cast three types of magic.
One type of Reconnaissance Magic.
One type of Warning Magic.
One type of Demolition Magic.
These three types of magic were all very powerful.
The first type, as the name suggests, could be used to scout out all things in the surrounding area, including living and nonliving objects. As long as something was within range, whether it was a grain of sand or a leaf, its position would be scouted and fed back to the user. Sadly, the range was not very wide; otherwise, its effects would be significant.
The second type, as the name suggests, can issue warnings when danger is detected. Although its effectiveness is halved for Shane, who has “Enemy Detection” and “Magic Perception,” it is not completely useless. This is because “Enemy Detection” and “Magic Perception” target only specific objects—one responds only to hostility, and the other only to magic power. The warning magic of the Magic Wand is different; it reacts to all types of danger, whether it be poisonous substances or deceptive traps, alerting the user.
The third type is even more useful, as it can break active spells, especially effective against barriers. Any common barrier, once touched, will instantly shatter to pieces, though it does consume a dramatic amount of magic power.
All three magic effects are extremely useful, and one might assume, even in the Demon Realm, they are considered high-end among high-end items, possessing such triple magic effects, right?
This also ensures that the Magic Wand does not become useless in Shane’s hands.
The three magic effects of this Magic Wand are indeed very useful to Shane.
“No wonder he is an upper-level member of the upper Demon Clan under the Dragon Demon, holding a position second only to the Six Great Demons. He is indeed generous. Maybe I shouldn’t sell it after all.”
Shane was very pleased, muttering to himself as he put away the Magic Wand.
“Given that the Demon Clan is so generous, the Temple should not be bad either, right?”
Unlike Jiasinta, who directly gifted the Magic Wand, Yule asked Shane to visit the Inner Sanctum of the Temple.
But Shane had no idea what this Inner Sanctum was.
All Shane knew was, at that time, following Yule’s promise, not only the nobles but many Guard Knights also showed looks of envy.
Thus, this so-called Inner Sanctum must have something good waiting for Shane, right?
Plus, with the Kingdom’s promise of a month’s access to the Underground Magic Book Library, Shane’s mood got even better.
“It seems that my efforts were not completely in vain after all.”
Shane began humming a little tune, heading toward Lilith’s Dessert Shop.
However, when Shane reached Lilith’s Dessert Shop, he unexpectedly ran into someone familiar.
Gazing at the young girl standing in front of the dessert shop window, Shane fell silent.
Immediately after, without hesitation, Shane turned around, ready to leave.
Unfortunately, Shane was a step too late.
Shane felt someone grab the back of his collar again, this time with an unbelievable strength, almost choking him, causing him to let out a strange yell.
“Why are you running?”
Then, an extremely discontented voice reached Shane’s ears.
Who else could it be but Ai Yi, who appeared behind Shane at some point, one hand holding a pillow and the other grabbing Shane’s collar, her face full of displeasure.
“Why are you running?”
The girl seemed to harbor a grudge, continuing to interrogate Shane.
Shane really wanted to say, don’t you have a clue?
If he didn’t run, wouldn’t it end up with him having to buy a bunch of desserts for this little Princess again?
“I’m broke! I’m out of money!”
Shane shouted miserably.
But all he got in return was Ai Yi’s death glare.
So, Shane sighed… no! He softened… no! His heart softened!
