Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 627 - 625: Silver Pendant

"Splash!"

Richard reached out and picked up a shiny silver pendant from a small pile of magic tools on the table, holding it in his hand and squinting at it.

This silver pendant, found in Tu Ke’s Space Iron Ring, was arguably the most outstanding among the many magic tools. After simple testing, he had understood the function of the pendant, which was to substantially enhance the body in all aspects, making a person faster, stronger, more enduring, more defensively powerful, and quicker to recover.

In a way, this silver pendant was akin to the effect of "Divine Blood (Intermediate)·Evil God Power"; even a Wizard Apprentice could possess capabilities comparable to an Official Wizard, provided their body could withstand it.

The effect was obviously strong, and without the side effects of the "Evil God Power" potion, even Second-level Wizards would be envious. Only such high-quality magic tools were fitting for the status of Tu Ke, the leader of the Black Robed Wizards.

As for why the opponent did not use it during the previous battle, Richard guessed that it might be because at the beginning, due to "Lake Flipping," Tu Ke had no chance to use it. Afterward, having used the extraordinary spell "Body of War God" and becoming undying and immensely powerful, he disregarded the enhancing effect of the silver pendant and thus it remained in his Space Iron Ring until Richard acquired it.

After acquiring it, he didn’t rush to wear it.

The reason for this was that this premium magic tool had two significant drawbacks.

The first was...

"Thud!"

Richard’s hand loosened, and the silver pendant fell, hitting the entire experiment table with a muffled sound, shaking it so much one might think it was a stone.

That was the first drawback of the silver pendant: it was too heavy!

Made of a large piece of special metal, it was not small in size, and wearing it felt like carrying a big iron block. For someone as tall and strong as Tu Ku, over two meters tall, it naturally wasn’t a problem, but for him, it was a bit burdensome. When not in use, wearing it was somewhat cumbersome and affected his movements.

Besides, there was a second drawback.

Perhaps considering the body’s capacity to endure, the amplifying effect of the silver pendant was closely related to physical condition. Simply put, the stronger the body, the greater the degree of amplification, with a certain upper limit but no lower limit. Therefore, to perfectly utilize the pendant’s amplifying effect, he would need to enhance his body with a spell first, and ideally drink "Evil God Power"—too cumbersome.

All things considered, the silver pendant was indeed a very nice piece of magic tool, but it wasn’t quite suitable for him. The best course of action would be to sell it or give it away.

"Give it away?" Richard raised an eyebrow, suddenly struck by an idea, and the next moment he shouted out to the laboratory outside, "Pandora!"

A brief silence.

About four or five seconds later, with a "creak," the door to the laboratory opened, and Pandora walked in.

Pandora was deeply furrowing her brows, appearing as someone irresistibly drawn into study who had been rudely interrupted, and glanced at Richard with a bit of reluctance, saying, "Geez! What is it? I was about to solve that problem, and then you called, scaring all my thoughts away; you... you owe me!"

"Okay, I owe you," Richard said with a smile, tossing the silver pendant in his hand to Pandora.

"Huh?" Pandora caught the object Richard threw reflexively, pouting slightly at first, somewhat dismissive, "What’s this? Don’t think that just any..."

Then, Pandora’s eyes widened as she stared at the bright, shiny pendant in her hand, glistening like mercury on the surface, and she screamed out loud.

"Is this really, really for me?" Pandora looked up at Richard, blinking several times, unable to believe it.

"It is indeed for you, but it’s not compensation, it’s a reward," Richard said. "You’ve been performing well recently, studying diligently and not causing any mischief, so I’m rewarding you with this."

"Can I wear it?" Pandora asked tentatively.

Richard nodded. "Of course, it’s yours now, you can do whatever you want with it..."

Before Richard could finish, Pandora eagerly hung the pendant around her neck, looking at it from the left and right with immense joy, her eyes gleaming. After wearing it for a while, she tilted her head, thought for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth and tried to stuff the silver pendant inside.

Watching Pandora get ready to bite, Richard stopped her just in time; after all, it wasn’t a teething ring. "Don’t bite, hold on! This is a very precious magic tool, be careful not to damage it. If it gets damaged, it won’t function properly!"

"Really?" Pandora moved her mouth, exerting great willpower to resist the urge to bite. She sniffed, her expression slightly resentful. "Such a pretty thing, and I can’t even bite it, how useless."

Richard was speechless, realizing that Pandora didn’t have much of an idea about magic tools. For Pandora, the best weapon was a log that one could swing at people, and the next best thing was a hefty hand cannon. In Pandora’s world, weight and sturdiness were the criteria for a weapon’s power, but magic tools, which had never been used because they couldn’t kill people, were a foreign concept to her.

Then, Richard thought of a very important issue: Giving the silver pendant to Pandora, could she really utilize its effects, or would she just treat it as a normal decoration hanging around her neck?

After all, although Pandora’s abilities allowed her to confront some ordinary wizards, this was due to her racial talent. Pandora didn’t possess a source of magic within her, nor the concept of using spells, so...

Looking at Pandora, Richard couldn’t help but ask, "Pandora, don’t you know how to use the pendant you’re wearing, to activate the magic rune magic effect on it?"

Hearing this, Pandora immediately looked at him with a "don’t underestimate me" expression and loudly said, "What! Of course, I know how to use it! I’ll show you right now if you don’t believe me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, watch, I’ll use it now!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Alright then." Richard raised an eyebrow, spread his hands, and assumed an expression of waiting eagerly.

Pandora pouted, then suddenly grabbed the silver pendant, her whole body tensing up.

Hmm?

Richard’s eyes flickered, slightly puzzled: This seemed like she was charging up?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Pandora looked up, her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth, suddenly bursting out loudly.

"Ah—"

In an instant, Richard clearly felt a wave of sound sweep across the room, a hundred decibels of noise echoing in the laboratory, causing some glass containers to vibrate, as if they were about to crack and shatter.

"Ah—"

Pandora continued shouting, her voice growing louder and the decibels steadily increasing.

Richard was stunned, walking over to Pandora and pressing a hand on her head in annoyance, stopping her from shouting. "Is that how you use it? Grabbing a magic tool and just shouting ’Ah’?"
