"You want the slave girl?" Rockman was shocked .

"That's right . I've taken a liking to her," Link pleaded .

Rockman found himself facing a dilemma . Before seeing the magic bracelet, he would have instantaneously rejected Link . The slave had cost him 1000 gold, and she was meant as a gift for Great Lord Bal . Most importantly, he had informed Lord Bal about the news and Bal was very excited . He couldn't simply swap her out like this!

However, the magic bracelet was worth at least 300 gold . He would make a profit of 200 gold, and could easily cover the cost of 1000 gold . He needed to take good care of this golden goose that could help him earn big money .

Pondering the matter, Rockman decided on a compromise . "I can't give her to you, she's been promised to Great Lord Bal . How about this, I'll let you have any two others to your liking . "

Link was stunned . He now knew who Great Lord Bal was . He was the lord of this region of about 77 square miles . In Firuman, that would be the equivalent of a Duke . His son, b.l.o.o.d.y-Butcher Balha was the lord of Spring Leaf City .

Not only did Great Lord Bal have a high status, but his personal strength was also terrifying . He was the strongest in the region and was a Level-15 Legendary Expert .

It was said that Bal was hot-tempered . He would kill over slight disagreements . The slaves killed by his hand numbered over 5000 . His nasty personality was inherited by his son, b.l.o.o.d.y-Butcher Balha .

No one would dare to provoke a person like this in the whole realm . Link's face was immediately full of "disappointment," and he shook his head in regret . "It's alright then, I'll go with the magic book . "

Rockman let out a sigh of relief . "Haha, young man, if you want to go far in life, you must properly study magic . Don't get caught up by l.u.s.t . Come with me, I'll give you two Tier-1 magic books . As for that girl, don't think about her anymore . I'll get you another pretty one soon . "

He opened the door to the circular paG.o.da and led Link inside .

The first floor of the paG.o.da was a s.p.a.cious hall . Along its walls were bookshelves, forming half a circle around the room . The shelves were stacked with books .

"Here, the Tier-1 books are on this side . You already have some knowledge of magic, so you can choose any two books that are suitable for you," Rockman said generously .

Link nodded and walked towards the bookshelf . Rockman did not bother Link while Link browsed through the books . He was engrossed with the magic bracelet that Link had made .

It was a truly splendid piece of work!

He had only given the blueprints for the talismans to be built into the bracelet but did not specify any shape or design . That was left entirely up to Link .

The final product was a simple, flawless circular band . However, the various colors blended to create a magnificent scene of two Red Spear Birds locked in battle . The birds looked lively and full of vigor, emanating the ferociousness of a live bird .

He used magic to magnify the details and couldn't find a single flaw in all the details . Even the wrinkles and curls along the birds' eyes could be seen, making them appear extremely realistic .

He channeled Mana into the magic bracelet and felt keenly for the changes . He could detect that the magic flowed smoothly into the bracelet, encountering no hindrances or obstruction . The entire bracelet emanated a warm and rhythmic magic aura .

This rhythm indicated that the magic formation in this bracelet was almost perfect!

Aesthetically pleasing and flawless, it was the most perfect thing ever . Rockman found that even he himself was reluctant to part with it now .

This thing is truly unique, one of a kind . Rather than selling it, I could give it as a gift to the Great Lord's daughter . She loves collecting these kinds of things to play with . I'm sure she'll like it . Who knows, I may even be able to get a Tier-3 magic book as a reward .

By now, Link had decided on two magic books . They were The Basics of Magic a.n.a.lysis and Top Skills of Tier-1 Magic .

"Teacher, I've selected the books," Link said .

Rockman brought his attention back to Link . He looked at the magic books that Link had selected and instructed, "You can bring these two books back with you . Return them after two weeks . Also, here is the blueprint for the new talisman, this time, I want a magic sword . Do you have confidence?"

Link received the blueprints from Rockman .

The basic formations in the blueprint were simple, although they were slightly harder than the magic bracelet . They were equivalent to Level-6 magic . However, the way they were arranged was also more complicated, roughly possessing the complexity of Level-9 spells .

Link looked at it for a moment . He thought about it for a while . He knew that it would only take him a week if he tried . He nodded and said, "Teacher, this is a little more difficult . I think I will need three weeks . "

Unexpectedly, Rockman was delighted . "Only three weeks? Great! Truly someone with potential . Okay, you don't have to tire yourself out, I'll give you a month . "

"Thank you, teacher . "

Just then, Fu appeared at the entrance to the paG.o.da . "Master, Lord Balha's men are here . "

"What do they want? Haven't I already given this month's medicinal tribute to the army quartermaster?" Rockman frowned .

"It seems like the Great Beast Forest's Blood Eyes goons are up to something again . "

Rockman's expression turned dark . He turned and said to Link, "Alright, you may return . Good luck with your studies, and don't forget the sword!"

"I got it, teacher," Link nodded his head . He now knew what kind of people he had provoked in the Great Beast Forest . The Blood Eye Mercenaries were formed from a group of oppressed and outcast halflings . They were the scourge of the Spring Leaf Village .

Their members numbered over 500, with 50 core members possessing over Level-10 strength . Their chief was known by his name Blood Pupil and possessed Level-13 strength . His strength was similar to Spring Leaf Village's Balha and Magician Rockman .

It was said that Balha and Blood Pupil had fought before, resulting in Balha's loss . If Balha hadn't escaped fast enough, he would now be dead .

"Go on," Rockman frowned . His mood was solemn .

Link left the paG.o.da . Before leaving, he saw Rockman walk away with a fully armored soldier . The soldier seemed extremely st.u.r.dy . Standing there, Link felt like he was an unmovable mountain .

Hmmm, another Legendary Warrior . Probably Level-10 . Link thought . He was starting to get numb .

In this world, the Mana density was high . It was easy for all living things to grow . Without much effort, one could easily reach Legendary level . However, there was a drawback . Perhaps because they gained strength too quickly, they didn't have a good foundation and understanding of skills .

For example, among Rockman's students, there were many who possessed enough strength to reach Level-6, however, because of a poor understanding of magic, they were stuck at Level-2 and could only use a few simple spells .

Therefore, Link's control of magic was far greater than his peers of the same age . In fact, in some ways, he was even superior to Rockman .

Of course, power was still power . With enough power, it doesn't matter even if you had no skills . A simple punch could unleash incredible destruction . Link would probably be killed by any random punch from Rockman . This was just winning by force .

Thinking about this, Link was anxious to quickly raise his strength .

He followed the path back to his residence, pa.s.sing by the slave training yard along the way . He could see Saroviny still learning to dance . Then, he stared, stunned . He realized that in just a short period of time, Saroviny had gotten much better at the dance . Earlier, she was like a wooden block with stiff movements . Now though, her body flowed like water, her limb movements were supple and smooth . There was something about her that now captured people's attention .

Did she have a change of heart?

At this moment, the halfling instructor praised . "Good, good . At least you're not wasting your good looks . Continue working hard, considering your good looks, I'm sure Great Lord Bal will treat you well .

Link's heart clenched . Bal ruled the lands around here . If Saroviny got his favor and influenced him, wouldn't that become a great threat for him?

Link felt Saroviny's gaze and detected a trace of cold killing intent . The moment he looked over though, the killing intent vanished and was replaced by a warm smile .

Link knew that he wasn't mistaken though . He didn't tarry a second longer and quickly headed back to his own residence .

In this world, he couldn't remain a small and unimportant person . He needed to quickly become strong and create a name for himself so that Bal couldn't simply kill him when he liked .

Over the next few days, Link entered his previous state of fervor when creating the magic bracelet and began constructing the magic sword .

When he was free, he would study the two books of magic . Princess Milda would look at the books with him . As for Riel, he would use wooden swords to train against Nana .

After a few days, Princess Milda said, "The content in these books is somewhat normal . However, the discussion about magic is very in-depth . This book on magic a.n.a.lysis is still alright, it's about Level-8 . This book on top skills, however, is more difficult and requires at least Level-9 magic knowledge to be able to make use of it . "

"It is something like that . I've looked at it and gained a lot from it . Furthermore, this is only a Tier-1 magic book in this world . After that, there's still the Saint and Archmage level . There's no end to their field of vision," Link sighed .

After possessing enough strength, your field of vision would naturally increase . Perhaps they might be lacking in some ways in their magic foundation, but the world in their eyes was surely something that Link could never imagine .

Without standing on the mountain peak, you would never understand how wide the view from the peak is!

Link tried his utmost to absorb the magic knowledge from this world .

Two weeks pa.s.sed by in a flash . Link's magic sword was completed three days ago . His dragon power now reached 7500 points, successfully pus.h.i.+ng him to Level-9 while Princess Milda and Riel reached Level-8 .

Here, there were no barriers to increasing their strength . Naturally, they would grow quickly .

Perhaps it was because there were no barriers to their growth which was why the Aragu people considered everything under the Legendary Level as Level-1 .

This day, Link was practicing the new magic knowledge he had learned when he heard a clamor from outside the building . Something had happened .

As Link was still thinking about it, Riel's voice came from the second-floor balcony . "Link, Link! Something's up . Rockman was carried back by some people . His body is covered in blood . "
