That was what he had gained from killing that mud statue on the first floor the last time they entered the labyrinth.
Besides some mud, there had also been a lump of white clay of Magic Item quality.
And now he had just obtained the 2nd Circle Spell, [Shaping Magic: Clay].
To be honest, Gauss had begun to suspect that the rewards provided by the panel might not be random.
He pulled himself back from his thoughts.
Not much time had passed before Theron and Alya, who had transformed back into human form, began collecting the spoils.
After ending his brief daze, Gauss joined them as well.
"Why did you change back?" Gauss asked when he reached Alya. "Couldn't you maintain it for several hours?"
"I'm a little tired," Alya answered dejectedly but honestly.
Transforming into a wolf and fighting had consumed far more stamina than she had expected.
Her endurance was not poor, but compared with Gauss or other Warrior-class adventurers, she was certainly lacking.
"Turning into a raven seems less tiring," Alya added.
"It seems to be related to the transformed creature's size and strength," Gauss said with a nod.
After looting the spoils, the three of them rested for a while nearby.
There were far fewer monsters on the labyrinth's first floor than when they had come last time.
That might have been thanks to the bounty commissions issued by the Adventurer's Guild.
Many low-level adventurers did not dare venture into the more dangerous lower floors. On the first floor, however, the danger was lower than expected as long as they proceeded carefully.
Besides, taking other commissions on the surface could be dangerous too. At least in the labyrinth, they might unexpectedly find some special gains.
The three of them cleared out a patch of open ground.
