Super Magician: The Magic Network Collapsed Again at the Start

Chapter 69 What is a Super Magic Master?

Gwyneth glanced at her but didn't argue.

She actually rushed over as soon as she received the news, but the battle only lasted a few minutes. Unless she happened to run into it like Ragnar, she wouldn't have had enough time.

"Go back, it's not safe here." Looking at Anser's pale face, he was about to say a few words of advice, but then realized that the two of them weren't that close.

“Wherever I am, that’s the safest place in Silverscale Bay.” Ragnar clearly didn’t get along with Gwyneth and immediately started to argue.

Even the most straightforward woman can be petty, Anser thought to herself, waving her hand and saying, "Let's go, don't forget my spoils."

With so many people around and eyes watching, the Holy Emblem burning hot, and my magic depleted, I felt very unsafe staying here.

Gwyneth led the way, with Anser riding behind.

Amon, Finn, guards, and the protectors sent by Sidney surrounded him. There were also many familiar faces in the crowd, such as the fully armed Careno and the big-headed warrior Matthew.

Anser wore a hood and lowered his head slightly, his mind still replaying the battle he had just fought.

I wasn't vigilant enough. I need to be more careful in crowded places in the future, because I might become part of the "crowd" at any time.

He suddenly realized that the chaos in the magic network was extremely advantageous to him. If it weren't for the many magical items failing to function, given the Shadow Thief's wealth, he probably would have a whole bunch of life-saving equipment.

'That's not right either; good equipment needs to be synchronized.'

Each person needs three items, two of which are weapons and armor. Wearing ten magic rings on both hands is not feasible.

'This Shadow Thief must have happened to be near Silverscale Bay, otherwise he couldn't have been this fast. It seems I've made it onto the Shadow Thief Kill List.' He knew Nashval would retaliate, but he didn't expect it to be so quick, especially since the slave ship was destroyed just last night.

The Shadow Thieves Guild is one of the most influential and largest thief guilds in western Faerûn. It has a long history, originally founded by five thieves, and is headquartered in Waterdeep.

Later, the Masked Lord of Waterdeep, under the leadership of the "Masked Lady," launched a campaign against the Shadow Thieves, driving them out of Waterdeep and nearly wiping out the organization.

The remaining forces fled to Amn, where they rebuilt in the capital, Ascatra, and colluded with the upper echelons of Amn, recruiting people from all walks of life and rapidly expanding their power.

Together with the Santalite Society, it is considered one of the two most powerful assassination and intelligence organizations in Faerûn.

It sounds scary, but there are many people or organizations that aren't afraid of them, such as Candlekeep, Waterdeep, the Harpists' Alliance, and various churches...

'Still too weak.'

However, after this assassination attempt, there shouldn't be a second one in the short term. After all, even a level 9 elite has fallen, and it's not easy to mobilize manpower of that level.

The Shadow Thieves Guild is very powerful, but its reach is too vast, and it's impossible to have too many elite Shadow Thieves in each region. However, the necessary vigilance is still essential.

While they were thinking, the group had already entered Moonshadow Kuiling, blocking everyone's view outside.

After a while, Anser's condition improved, and he was able to walk normally, although his complexion was not very good.

He nodded to Gwyneth and went straight upstairs, with Finn and the others following behind.

Gwyneth grabbed Dara, who was trying to follow, and pushed her back to the counter. She then pulled up a deck chair and went to the window to sunbathe.

Seeing this, Kaleino also withdrew his long leg. Although he was curious, he knew that Anser needed rest most right now.

“Go back and watch over little Clara. It’s not safe these days, so don’t leave her unattended,” Gwyneth said casually, glancing at him.

"I'm not a babysitter," Kaleno complained, but still obediently returned to the Cloud Tree House.

Bloodline suppression, there's no way to resist it.

Anser returned to his room, walked to the bedside, leaned back, and fell heavily onto the bed, as a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

"Eamon, you can go back now. I'm fine here." He tossed him his healing potion; after all, Eamon had taken the knife for him.

"Oh, okay." Amon took the healing potion, exchanged a glance with Finn, didn't know what to say, and simply turned and left, closing the door behind him.

At that moment, even breathing came from the bed. Finn was startled and silently stayed by his side.
-
Anser didn't wake up until evening.

He woke up hungry, ate a little breakfast hastily, and then fought a fierce battle; it's no wonder he was hungry.

After a good night's sleep, I felt much better, my magic power recovered by half, and my fighting strength returned.

"Have something to eat." Seeing that he was awake, Blatt lifted the lids on the table one by one, and the aroma of food immediately filled the air.

Anser's stomach immediately growled. He took off his cloak, grabbed a piece of bread and started eating, mumbling, "You're so thoughtful."

“Heh heh,” Blatt chuckled, raising an eyebrow with a look of inquisitive curiosity, “I hadn’t even mentioned it, and Dara brought up this whole pile of food, saying Gwyneth arranged it…”

“She treats you differently.” Finn, who was usually silent, suddenly blurted out.

Anser looked at the dozen or so dishes on the table that even the restaurant didn't have, smacked his lips, and continued eating. Gwyneth was beautiful, but their styles of doing things were too different; they couldn't get along.

"You guys eat too." "You eat first."

"How are the wounded? Have any died?" After finishing half a bowl of mushroom soup, Anser felt alive again.

"They've all been rescued. Several were maimed by Nornos, and they've all been compensated. The bounty has been distributed; Ragnar helped coordinate, and she didn't take her share. It cost a total of 872 gold coins..."

Blatt produced a list with names and amounts written on it.

“Not many,” Anser remarked.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people's lives are worthless, and Blatt wouldn't dare give them too much. A hundred or so gold coins would be the maximum for a disabled person; anything more would only harm them.

The bounty is simply not worth giving out; the main fighting force is Ragnar, so if she doesn't take it, it will save a lot of money.

“Quite a few people wanted to come see you just now, but I persuaded many of them to leave because I didn’t know them,” Blatt said, picking up a piece of bread and eating it as he spoke.

“You did the right thing.” Anser nodded. He didn’t know many people, and those people probably had ulterior motives.

“Ragnar sent me a package, but I didn’t open it.” Blatt pointed to the blood-stained cloth package in the corner.

“That bag must belong to the Shadow Thief,” Anser replied.

"The Shadow Thieves are a thieves' guild? Why would they want to assassinate you?"

"Yes and no, it's an assassination and intelligence organization, quite famous, haven't you heard of it..."

The group ate and chatted as they ate, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Blatt helped clean up the bag of spoils, while Finn cleared away the dishes.

Anser lay back on the bed, his mind drifting into thought.

The silver twenty-sided die slowly spun, the fourth symbol was fully lit, and the fifth symbol also lit up a corner.

'They're here, they're here.'

He suppressed his excitement and lightly tapped the dice.

Fragments of memories surfaced in his mind, and this time he deliberately slowed down the playback speed to observe the battle with the shadow thief today from a god's-eye view.

Rough, some of the battles were handled too roughly. Looking back now, he should have had better ways of handling them.

Fortunately, he was initially focused on escaping and wanted to get rid of the enemy by sea and air. If he had been too overconfident, he would be a corpse now.

However, that Shadow Thief was even more clumsy, wasting too much psionic energy. He used "Mind Teleport" too carelessly and didn't even know to bait out spells from the caster first.

Perhaps he didn't take me seriously at first.

A moment later, the memory faded, and the symbol transformed into a nebula.

Ding--

[You have acquired the Adventure Trait: Master of Magic.]

"Master of Super Magic": The surging primal magic is an innate part of you. You have learned how to control and guide your natural magic, and are gradually becoming proficient in controlling it, displaying a unique power commensurate with the source of your strength.

As time goes by, your super magic will become more and more powerful, and you will no longer be bound by dogmatic applications.

If the spell's effect allows, you may use more than two superspells simultaneously while casting a spell, up to the highest level of spells you possess.

Each warlock level grants an additional supermagic ability.

The source of magic within you is surging with vitality, like a spring, doubling your magical power!
"what?!"

Anser suddenly sat up and couldn't help but exclaim, startling Blatt and the other man.

"What's wrong?" Blatt asked anxiously.

"It's nothing." Anser quickly waved his hand, trying to calm himself down.

What is a warlock's most prized ability? Super magic!
This is a unique ability of warlocks, which no one can learn, because although it appears to be an ability or skill, its foundation is talent.

There are ten types of super magic. Theoretically, a level 17 warlock can master at most six of them, while only a legendary warlock can master them all.

The Super Magic Master skill allows Anser to master all super magic before level ten, and he can also use multiple super magic spells in a single spell, which is a bit overpowered.

For example, if you cast a fireball while using multiple super magic effects such as ranged, powerful, upgraded, instant, and subtle, it's hard to imagine what kind of spell effect that would be.

Of course, doing this would be a waste, as it wouldn't increase damage much but would deplete your super magic power, making it a losing proposition.

But without a doubt, this is a very powerful feature!
