Magic Weapon

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Jonathan knew that meditating all day was useless; some people might grasp a realm in an instant, while others might spend their entire lives trying.

Therefore, he only set aside two hours a day for that, spending the rest of his time researching the Micro Magic Array, the Magic Core Power Conversion Array, and the Magic Conversion Array.

During these days, Canina had already transferred the money to Jonathan's Magic Crystal Card.

Jonathan prepared to put the Magic Weapon he had forged onto the market to see the results. Seeing him preparing to head out with three weapons and Hilton, Hesai asked curiously, "Where are you headed?"

"To auction this greatsword, great axe, and dagger."

"They look quite fancy, but how much are they worth?"

Jonathan replied, "These aren't ordinary weapons. They are Magic Weapon pieces inscribed with Micro Magic Arrays, capable of unleashing magic-like attacks even without injecting magic power."

Hesai raised an eyebrow. "Demonstrate it for me."

Jonathan did not refuse. He took the greatsword in his hand and handed the others to Hilton.

He raised the greatsword and performed a simple downward slash. The surface of the greatsword emitted a faint red glow, and a path of fire half a meter in diameter extended straight out. It was extremely fast, making it difficult for an ordinary person to dodge.

A gleam of light appeared in Hesai's eyes. "Although this attack isn't powerful, it is quite useful against warriors below the seventh rank."

"If the wielder knows simple fire control, they can even make the attack perform various changes instead of just a simple, straight strike."

"Impressive!" Hesai said. "How long have you been researching this?"

"Only a few months. It's mainly because I'm standing on the shoulders of my predecessors. If I had to start from scratch, it would be impossible without decades or even a century."

"Such weapons are rare, but their attack power is far greater than yours. If you can mass-produce these, it will likely cause a huge impact on those below the seventh rank, perhaps even triggering a revolution."

Jonathan said, "Lord Hesai, you jest. Just to master the Micro Magic Array and possess the ability to inscribe it requires the mental strength of at least a seventh-rank mage."

"If a Saint Realm warrior were to study it, they might be able to."

"But whether it's a mage or a Saint Realm expert, how could they possibly go back to doing such thankless research?"

"I'm just doing it out of interest."

"How about it, Lord Hesai? Would you like to come with me to the auction house to take a look?"

"I have nothing better to do, so let's go."

Upon arriving at the auction house, there happened to be an event that day. After Jonathan introduced the function of the weapons, the manager in charge of the auction immediately added the three weapons to the current auction.

"The next item is very special and was added at the last minute. It is a weapon, but not an ordinary one. Even in the hands of an ordinary person, it can unleash attacks comparable to second or third-rank magic."

The crowd in the hall erupted in an uproar, their tones filled with disbelief.

Then, the auctioneer demonstrated it personally, and the crowd was finally convinced.

"This weapon is called a Magic Weapon. Its magic comes from the magic crystal on the hilt, and the crystal itself is also inscribed with a magic array, allowing it to absorb natural elements and recover energy on its own."

"According to the consignor, it takes seven days to fully recover from complete depletion, and when fully charged, it can launch dozens of magic attacks."

"The weapon itself also has a durability-enhancing magic array, making the quality of the weapon far superior to ordinary ones."

"Currently, this type of weapon is extremely rare, and production is very difficult."

"The Flame Greatsword, starting bid is one hundred thousand gold coins. Each increment must be at least five thousand gold coins. The bidding begins!"

The Flame Greatsword sold for two hundred and fifty thousand.

The second item, the great axe with the Sharp Stone Array, went for two hundred and eighty thousand.

As for the dagger, since not many people used them, it only fetched one hundred and eighty thousand.

The raw materials for a single weapon only cost about a thousand gold coins, but once crafted into a Magic Weapon, the value multiplied dozens of times over.

This is the charm of innovation and technology!

In the future, if the inscribed Micro Magic Array reached the fifth or sixth rank, it would be a weapon approaching a divine artifact, and a value of tens of millions of gold coins would be normal.

In the eyes of Saint Realm experts, these types of weapons had significant utility. Compared to money, they valued things that could enhance their own strength much more.

From this day on, Hesai held Jonathan in even higher regard.

Within three months, Hesai personally demonstrated the Laws of Darkness to him, allowing him to experience it firsthand. Then, once the three months were up, he left decisively.

Although Jonathan failed to grasp the momentum, and the laws remained completely out of reach, Hesai would have thought it was a miracle if he actually had grasped them.

However, there were still gains.

He already had a feeling for the momentum of Heavy as Light, and he estimated that it wouldn't take long before he could enter the threshold. Once he did, he believed that with his own comprehension, his progress would not be slow.

"It's time to deal with the Bred Family."

Jonathan looked up at the sky and went to the Saber branch, telling Cross to inform Canina that the mission had failed because his information was inaccurate.

In a hotel.

"What? I waited for so long, and you're telling me the mission failed?"

"I really doubt the capabilities of your Saber organization!"

Cross said, "My Saber organization always dispatches assassins corresponding to the target's strength, but the information you provided was inaccurate, leading to the failure. As I said before, if the failure is due to this, you must bear the majority of the responsibility. Saber will retain fifty percent of the payment."

"Impossible! It is common knowledge that that brat is only a sixth-rank mage, and he only just reached it not long ago."

"But according to the assassin sent by Saber, Jonathan is not only a level six dual-element mage, but also a level six peak warrior."

"He was careless and nearly died at Jonathan's hands."

"Since your mistake nearly cost Saber a gold-tier assassin, isn't that your fault?"

"Mastery of both magic and martial arts, and both reached level six?"

"Just how high is his talent?!"

Cross said, "Patriarch of the Bred Family, do you wish to continue? If you don't want to proceed with the assassination, Saber can refund the remaining fifty percent of your payment."

Canina's expression was dark and uncertain as he paced back and forth in the hotel room. After a long while, he said, "I won't proceed with the assassination. I can't afford to provoke such a genius. As long as he doesn't know I was the one who ordered it, he shouldn't come looking for trouble with me."

Cross smiled slightly, "No problem. However, if you want a refund, you will need to wait a month or two."

"The previous money has already been given to that gold-tier assassin. He is currently hiding alone to recover from his injuries, and we cannot find him either. But within a month or two, his injuries will surely be healed. Once he returns, I will have someone return the money to you."

Canina frowned and looked deeply at Cross, "I have great faith in the reputation of Saber, so don't let me down!"

"Rest assured, the reputation of Saber is well-known!"

As Canina returned to the Bred Family estate, people everywhere on the streets were discussing the matter of Jonathan.

"Have you all heard? They say the number one magic genius of Ulada Magic Academy is not only a level six mage, but also a level six peak warrior."

"That's not all. I heard he was even assassinated two days ago and suffered some injuries."

Canina's expression changed, and he quickened his pace to return to the Bred Family estate.
