"Careful?"
"Hmm?" Richard asked, puzzled and slightly frowning upon hearing Pandora’s words. He looked at Pandora and inquired, "Careful, what do you mean?"
"Ah—" Pandora was stumped by the question. She tilted her head, thought for a long while, and finally replied, "I don’t know what it means either, but it feels like you might encounter danger, so I thought I should tell you."
Upon hearing this, Richard’s eyes flickered momentarily, and he immediately thought that this might be an effect of Pandora’s prediction ability.
However, one question was, was this prophecy real or fake?
Pandora’s prediction ability was always hit or miss. Although she might have sensed something, it was possible that nothing would happen at all.
Then again, being careful wouldn’t harm anyone.
After a moment of contemplation, Richard first arranged a new learning task for Pandora, then stepped out the door to organize all the various items, magical skills, and special attack methods he currently possessed to ensure he was prepared for any eventuality.
This organization proved critical. Richard found that he indeed had an impressive amount of items.
In terms of items and equipment:
Magic Rune Rings, including the No.1 Ring, No.2 Ring, No.3 Ring, and Fourth Circle.
The No.1 Ring was engraved with Wind Light Spirit, Wind Force, Pearce’s Nerve Sensitivity Technique, Accelerated Recovery, and Bai Ting Boiling Blood Technique—five Magic Rune Magics—primarily for enhancing oneself.
The No.2 Ring was engraved with Paralyzing Lightning, Frost Freeze, Erosive Poison, Low Temperature Dizziness, and Small Dehydration Technique—five Magic Rune Magics—mainly for weakening enemies.
The No.3 Ring was engraved with Chain Explosion and Cold Ice Fragments—two Magic Rune Magics—primarily for ranged small magic attacks.
The Fourth Circle was engraved with Greasy Swamp and Frosty Winter Descent—two Magic Rune Magics—principally for area attacks.
Due to the growth in his powers, the frequency of using Magic Rune Rings had significantly reduced. However, they could still have surprising effects at times.
Space Ring, with Absolute Defense of Space Transfer, Absolute Cutting of Spatial Scissors, and Absolute Spatial Precision.
These three functions were significant, especially Absolute Cutting of Spatial Scissors and Absolute Spatial Precision, both extremely useful capabilities.
Energy Storage Magic Wand, this was important because it could store Free Energy Elements or Mana, ensuring prolonged combat ability.
Crystal Skull, with its Spirit Shock and the compelling, irresistible effect of making the enemies lose their sanity. Although used less frequently lately, it was still utilised for training spiritual strength.
Magic Gun, a product of Magic and technology integration, had considerable restrictions, but under special terrains or when catching someone off guard, it could inflict tremendous damage in a very short time.
One-Hit Kill Wand, very powerful in attack. Although frequent use could burden the Magic Origin, the one-hit-kill effect could save lots of trouble and had a deterrent effect.
Death Finger, still continually researched and refined, had arguably the strongest attack potential but also vast consumption. It shouldn’t be used casually and was considered an ace in the hole.
...
Regarding Magic:
Ignoring spells like Wind Light Spirit, Wind Force, Pearce’s Nerve Sensitivity Technique, etched in the Magic Rune Rings, other skills available...
Extraordinary Concealment, Concealing Breath Skill, and Shadow Cloak are some spells that can conceal one’s breath and mana fluctuations, facilitating disguise and stealth.
Additionally, there is the Wind Lord spell, which significantly enhances Wind Magic, allowing spells like Wind Light Spirit and Wind Force to achieve stronger effects.
Then there are Dark Vision and Eye of Gaze spells, which can modify the eyes to gain night vision and x-ray vision capabilities. The former is more common, whereas the latter consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Prolonged use might drain the energy storage magic wand, so one must be cautious when casting it.
The fourth form of shield could be considered a spell or not, but as the strongest defense currently available, it cannot be overlooked.
Special attack methods:
This part is a bit more chaotic.
Magic Salt, a variation of Five Imidazole Anion Salt, is a high-energy explosive with powerful destructive capabilities in any environment.
Alloy, a variant of Metallic Hydrogen, is more powerful but, after improvements, is not too dangerous and can be controlled.
Fungal spores, or more specifically, biological weapons made from Pneumonia Fungus Spores, are countless times more terrifying than Magic Salt or 315 Alloy. They were used once in White Stone City, wiping out an entire division of the Mysterious Organization, rightfully earning the nickname "poor man’s atomic bomb."
In some ways, these are eviler and harder to control than actual nuclear weapons. Once used, the resulting destruction could be far greater than imagined, especially in a world with no knowledge of biological weapons. Therefore, their use must be restricted; the consequences of misuse are unimaginable.
Other items include Spartan Heroic Potion, Spartan Warrior Potion, Life Potion, Divine Blood, Prototype Acuity Potion, and others, as well as spellcasting methods like Magic Salvo and White Jade Plate Explosives, making it difficult to account for everything.
Overall, he has many methods at his disposal and is generally well-equipped to handle any crisis. Even if some situations exceed expectations, he won’t be completely powerless.
Thinking this, Richard felt somewhat reassured. He gave Pandora a thorough warning before turning and leaving Eden.
Watching Richard leave, Pandora, who was doing her exercises, slowly lifted her head, paused for a moment, and muttered, "Be careful."
As many waited, night fell, and the conclave finally began.
This time, without any hitches, Deep Blue Castle had addressed all issues, sending students to welcome and lead all the attendees into the conclave.
Richard, accompanied by the cat slave girl Heidi, mingled with the crowd as they stepped into the venue, and under the guidance of Deep Blue Castle students, found their designated seats.
The seating was exquisite, made of black walnut wood with high-backed armchairs padded with goose feathers—soft and insulating in this winter season. The armrests were also padded with cotton, showing Deep Blue Castle had spared no effort. The cat slave girl Heidi’s seat, right behind his, was one size smaller but not cramped.
Without further delay, Richard and the cat slave girl sat down, and Richard surveyed the entire venue.
The venue was surprisingly large, over a hundred meters deep and dozens of meters wide, covering thousands of square meters. At the far end was a small wooden stage.
Beneath the stage, except for a wide passage in the center leading to the exit, seats filled the sides to accommodate those attending the conclave.
Richard estimated that there were dozens of large wizard organizations, tens of medium-sized, and countless small wizard organizations participating, with several thousand wizards and wizard apprentices, almost ensuring one square meter per person. However, Deep Blue Castle’s seating arrangement was reasonable, not too crowded, yet exceptionally lively.
At that moment, numerous candles were lit on the walls and ceiling of the venue, inlaid with dense crystal stones, making it brighter at night than during the day. Decorated impressively, the venue did not diminish Deep Blue Castle’s reputation.
Gradually, as attendees took their seats and conversations dwindled, the venue quieted down.
The conclave officially commenced!
