Magic Carrying Capacity

The entire set of Thick Leather Armor was neatly arranged inside a large cowhide trunk. The trunk was very well made, with the brown leather polished to a glossy shine and the copper clasps exuding a strong Silver Moon Elf style.

He held up a thick leather hat with both hands. The hat had a steel frame inside and was padded with soft fur, making it fit his head perfectly.

Roy then took out breastplates, trousers, shoulder armor, wrist guards, greaves, and heavy leather boots from the suitcase.

With the help of the waiter, he put on the clothes one by one.

Roy could feel that every piece of this leather armor was very well made and very close-fitting because it was custom-made.

I tried moving each joint, and there was no obstruction.

Jerome Master must have inscribed Lightness Art or Levitation Art on the Thick Leather Armor, because Roy couldn't feel any weight at all in this extremely complex set of Thick Leather Armor.

It felt like wearing a down jacket...

Overall, it may take some getting used to wearing this Thick Leather Armor.

Wearing Thick Leather Armor, Roy walked into the courtyard behind the tannery and stood under the blazing sun, yet he didn't feel the heat at all.

Jerome Master stood beside a wall of bushes and waved to Roy.

Roy strode over, and just as he approached the bushy low wall, a surprising scene unfolded: the color of Roy's Thick Leather Armor gradually changed from earthy brown to the pattern of the bushy low wall.

Jerome Master smiled and pointed to the red brick wall surrounding the leather workshop, gesturing for Roy to stand there.

Following Jerome Master's instructions, Roy walked to the red brick wall, and his Thick Leather Armor transformed into the pattern of the red brick wall...

"The leather of the Petrification Lizard has always been known as the best base material for basic Magic Inscription Construct. The reason is that if the innate magic of the Petrification Lizard can be activated during the leather-making process, the leather armor will gain the innate ability of the Petrification Lizard, ' Disguise Art '."

"Many young elves nowadays think that the color of Petrification Lizard leather is too tacky, and would rather give up this camouflage ability and choose Spike-tailed Crystal Lion leather. This is a mistake in choosing the right leather. Crystal Lion leather is indeed thin and tough, but if we only talk about defensive capabilities, three layers of Spike-tailed Crystal Lion leather may not be as good as one layer of Petrification Lizard leather!"

"So, are you satisfied?"

Jerome Master looked at his masterpiece and asked with some pride.

Roy kept moving his arms and said:

"Excellent, Jerome Master. To be honest... this Thick Leather Armor far exceeded my expectations."

Jerome Master laughed heartily, and said with even greater pride:

"You can have an inscriptionist engrave any useful inscriptions you want on this Thick Leather Armor. I've reserved enough space for it—chest, back, shoulders, trousers, and greaves are all fine. However... you need to consider your own capacity to withstand magic. You must remember that these are things that every inscriptionist will discuss with you before creating Magic Inscription Construct."

Now, I want to remind you of something: if you want to Magic Inscription Construct on this Thick Leather Armor, you must prioritize this area..."

As he spoke, Jerome Master pointed to various parts of the breastplate and trousers.

"Under the armpits, between the groin, on the chest... Choose places that are not easily attacked by the enemy, or places with strong defensive awareness. The advantage of Magic Inscription Construct here is that these expensive Magic Inscription Construct will not be easily damaged."

Otherwise, if the magic runes are damaged, repairing them could cost a fortune.

Jerome Master said to Roy with a smile.

Roy immediately thanked Jerome Master:

"Thank you for reminding me, Jerome Master."

Sure enough, Jerome Master was even more pleased to hear Roy say that.

This human boy in front of me wasn't picky like the other Elven Nobles; he was also quite eloquent.

Jerome Master patted Roy on the shoulder and said to him, "If this Thick Leather Armor has any non-magical damage, you can come here for maintenance."

"Yes, Jerome Master," Roy quickly agreed.

Subsequently, the manager of the leather shop personally came to calculate the cost of making the leather armor.

Despite the connection with Edith, there was still no room for negotiation on production costs.

The total cost was a whopping 3,200 Kole, which made Roy feel a little heartbroken.

Roy had painstakingly saved up money to buy Magic Pouch, but he ended up spending it all on making this set of Thick Leather Armor.

In addition to making this Thick Leather Armor, Jerome Master also used two lizard forepaws to make a pair of Thick Leather Gloves for Roy.

The gloves were given to Roy as a bonus, and he didn't receive any payment for them.

This gave Roy a somewhat unexpected surprise.

Stepping out of the leather shop, the blazing sun beat down on me, and the hot wind enveloped my body, making me feel drenched in sweat.

A coachman immediately jumped down from the carriage by the roadside and ran quickly to Edith's side.

With a 'click', the driver put up a parasol.

Edith squinted at Roy, tilted her head and said to him:

"I'm going back to the academy to continue my classes. Roy, where are you going? I can give you a ride if it's on my way!"

Roy thought for a moment and said, "I'm going back to the Goddess of Freedom Temple. Edith, there's something I'd like to ask you!"

Edith pursed her lips, glanced sideways at Roy, and pointed to the carriage. "Get in!"

Edith lifted her skirt and boarded the carriage first. Roy followed Edith into the carriage and sat opposite her before asking her, "Edith, what did Jerome Master mean by 'practical inscriptions' and 'Magic Inscription Construct '? Are they magic engraved on leather armor?"

When Edith heard Roy ask this question in a very serious tone, she looked at Roy speechlessly.

It took me a long time to calm down.

Leaning against the soft cushions in the carriage, Edith felt a mix of emotions. She said to Roy, "Simply put, it's about inscribing magic onto leather armor... If you want to inscribe magic onto this Thick Leather Armor, you need to go to the Magic Guild's Primary Appraisal Office to have your load-bearing capacity tested. The amount of load-bearing capacity you have determines what level of magic can be inscribed on the leather armor."

"Of course, there is a limit to the magic that can be inscribed on this Thick Leather Armor. It is also limited by the fact that this leather armor is made of Tier 2 Magical Beast, so only level two magic can be inscribed on it."

"The Petrification Lizard is a level 2 Earth Magical Beast, so this Thick Leather Armor will have slightly higher resistance and adaptability to Earth Magic than other elemental magic."

"Roy, with your current capacity to withstand it, I estimate that you can't even withstand the most basic Stone Skin."

Roy understood; in short, it meant imbuing the leather armor with magical properties.

"Well... how will we know if we don't test it?"

Roy turned to look out the window and muttered something under his breath.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Elf Academy, and Edith and Roy stepped off the carriage one after the other.

Roy stood at the academy gate and thanked Edith again.

Only after seeing Edith enter the academy gates did he turn around and walk towards the Magic Guild next to the academy.

The Magic Guild and the Elf Academy in Castleton City are separated by only one wall. Roy came here last time to test whether he possessed Magic Power.

Not every elf is born with Magic Power.

Some spirits have an affinity for Wind Element, some for Water Elemental, and some have neither...

Roy was a Half-Elf, and the identification results far exceeded his expectations.

He was able to divine attributes, so he became a Novice Priest.

Arriving once again in the trading hall on the first floor of the Magic Guild, Roy easily found the Primary Appraisal Office this time.

There were still several Pokémon queuing up at the entrance of the appraisal center, and this time there were more Pokémon in line than last time.

Roy stood obediently at the back of the line and waited for quite a while before it was Roy turn.

Entering the testing center and going up to the second floor, I found myself in the same room as before.

The room was dimly lit. The elven mage sat behind the table, glanced up at Roy, and gestured for Roy to sit opposite him.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" the elven mage asked Roy.

"I want to test my magical capacity," Roy said.

"This will require 100 Kole. Are you sure you want to get tested?"

"Yes!"

The elven mage turned around and took a graduated Magic Crystal from the cabinet behind him. Below the Magic Crystal was a square box made of mithril, engraved with Magic Rune, and a magic crystal fragment was inlaid on the Gemstone Base.

The elven mage placed the Magic Crystal in front of Roy Roy said, "Relax, put your hands on it, relax. I will activate these Magic Rune Plate one by one in a while, and magic power will flow into your body until you reach your limit."

Roy hesitated for a moment before reaching out and placing his hand on the Mithril Box.

It feels cold to the touch.

Roy could even feel wisps of magic slowly flowing through the Mithril Box.

I noticed that Roy looked a little nervous.

The elven mage said gently:

"Don't worry, the load-bearing capacity test won't damage your mental strength..."

If the elven mage hadn't mentioned it, Roy wouldn't have thought of it.

Upon hearing this, Roy asked with even more hesitation, "Then what will it damage?"

"You don't know anything, so don't overthink it! You need to try to control that sliver of magic power on the Mithril Box."

The elven mage said to Roy.

A faint layer of Holy Light Power emanated from the hand placed on the Mithril Box.

As requested by the elven mage, Roy sensed a trace of magic power emanating from the Mithril Box.

As the elven mage placed his hand on the other side of the Mithril Box Mithril Box, the Magic Rune Plate inside lit up one by one, and more magic power flowed into Roy's body, while a bright line appeared at the bottom of the Magic Crystal.

As a large amount of magic power surged into Roy's body, the bright lines on the Magic Crystal also began to slowly rise.

Just as Roy felt his body was nearing its limit, the Holy Light Sapling with five tentacles inside him began to devour the magical power.

The magical power that had surged into Roy's body seemed to find an outlet, quickly disappearing from Roy body...
