End of the Magic Era

Lin Yun had already seen quite a few of these magic tools. If Alonzo had those things, then it would be possible that Alonzo owned a certain magic tool that would become famous along with the Curse of Misfortune…

“Sir Alonzo, are you carrying the Voodoo Doll with you?”

Surprised, Alonzo unconsciously glanced at Agalon, and put on an awful smile on his awful expression.

“Did your teacher tell you that? How surprising. I thought he always despised my magic tools…”

Agalon didn’t say anything, not explaining that he’d never told such a thing to Lin Yun. However, he was angry to see Alonzo’s cocky smile, and simply snorted and turned around.

Hearing what Alonzo said, Lin Yun knew that Alonzo had certainly created the Voodoo Doll already.

“I’ve always been interested in the arcane magic tools, especially those you have created, Junior Uncle…”

Lin Yun was not lying. He truly admired Alonzo. Arcane magic tools were never well-appreciated in this era. Elemental magic tools were always the most effective in the age of colonization. Their only downside was that they didn’t have enough magic power.

If they contained enough magic power, they could destroy all obstacles in their way. In the age of colonization, they were indeed the best choice. Arcane magic tools mostly boasted special abilities. They were not as useful as elemental magic tools during the conquest of planes.

In particular, after magic battleships were invented, they played a critical role in the conquest of planes, so even fewer people studied arcane magic tools.

Besides, very few arcane magic tools that were not True Spirit Magic Tools were useful. That was an even greater flaw.

Alonzo didn’t know any of that, but he could tell that Lin Yun meant what he said. He put on such a brilliant smile that his facial tattoos gathered into a strange and horrifying shape.

Agalon’s disciple liked arcane magic tools and respected him. That made him feel even more comfortable than beating Agalon himself. The more he looked at Lin Yun, the more agreeable he found Lin Yun to be.

It was more exhilarating to convince his nemesis’s disciple to conform to his ideology than to just beat his nemesis.

“Merlin, I have indeed created a Voodoo Doll. Although it’s an arcane magic tool that can also influence luck, it’s very difficult to use. It cannot compare to the Curse of Misfortune at all. They’re not on the same level.

“More importantly, we don’t know this goddamn lich’s real name…”

Alonzo seemed quite regretful. He had thought of the Voodoo Doll sooner, but he knew that the Voodoo Doll’s influence on luck couldn’t compare to the Curse of Misfortune’s at all. It wouldn’t work on the Bloody Lich at all, so he never took it out. Besides, he didn’t know the Bloody Lich’s real name.

Although the name Dereksey would suffice, it wouldn’t be nearly as effective as the real name. Dereksey was only part of the Bloody Lich’s name or its abbreviated version.

Although he knew that the Voodoo Doll was useless, Alonzo still explained why to Lin Yun calmly. The fact that Lin Yun mentioned the Voodoo Doll that even Alonzo didn’t think highly of suggested that the man knew arcane magic tools and him very well.

Alonzo was always a weird man who did anything he wanted to. Now that he was getting more and more fond of Lin Yun, he simply took out three True Spirit Magic Tools, and gave them to Lin Yun. He even gave the Eternal Tree’s vigorous branch to Lin Yun too.

“All of them are arcane magic tools that I’ve personally made. They were all for practice. They aren’t very powerful, but they might still bring inspiration. They’re all yours now. When you’re free, come to the Arcane College. We can have a good discussion…”

Alonzo seemed very peaceful, as if he had forgotten the current crisis. However, after he was done, he couldn’t help but glance at Agalon provocatively…

Lin Yun put on a bitter smile, and didn’t know what to say. Those two old men probably had endured too many dangers and hardships in their life to care. They weren’t even scared of death. The only thing that they cared about was whether they could best each other.

Lin Yun looked at the three True Spirit Magic Tools and the Eternal Tree’s branch, and had to admit that Alonzo was truly a strange man. One of them was a Halogenation Crystal, which could transform any living creature into a huge chunk of iodized salt.

The second one was a Squid Messenger, which looked like the figurine of a squid. However, as long as it was given a destination and a name, it would cross space and deliver a magic letter to the target. It was even faster than a Heaven Rank’s space gate in a plane, or a Planar Path between planes. More importantly, it could be used repeatedly, which made it very cost-effective.

That item was very convenient. More of its usages would be developed later. It would be a necessity in many places.

There was also a Mana Corridor, which looked like a donut. It was a very practical magic tool too, for it could restore magic power.

It was undoubtedly the most popular arcane magic tool until the Gilded Rose’s Blue Demon Potion was invented.

The magic tool could store mana. In an intense battle, if one ran out of mana, one could replenish it with the mana one had prepared in the Mana Corridor. All of their mana could be restored. They could even use the mana in the Mana Corridor for battles. It would be no different from their own.

It was actually similar to the Alchemical Mana Whirlpool, except that the Alchemical Mana Whirlpool was a Spiritual Magic Tool. The Mana Corridor that Alonzo had personally made was undoubtedly a real arcane magic tool.

The mana stored inside the magic tool could definitely replenish a level-6 Heaven Rank mage completely. More importantly, the Mana Corridor wouldn’t be useful until the mana in it was used up.

Even if it was used up, it was possible to borrow from the void as much mana as was stored in the magic tool previously. All one needed to do was return the mana after the battle.

In an intense battle, the ability was like a trump card that could turn things around. For a level-6 Heaven Rank mage, the Mana Corridor ensured that they had three times the mana they normally had. That could be a huge advantage in a life-and-death battle.

The borrowed mana had to be returned, but there was no time limit. When the Heaven Rank mages were not in a battle, they could simply return the mana anytime.

The stronger a Heaven Rank mage was, the less important mana would be to them. They could use their mana however they wanted to in peacetime.

The technique to borrow mana from the void would be applied to many fields in the future, especially on magic battleships. All mana reactors were equipped with it.

There was also the Eternal Tree’s branch. Alonzo didn’t consider it a big deal, because even though the branch was kept active, it could only grow into a life tree under normal circumstances. But if it was planted in a Natural Demiplane whose owner took care of it with the power of the Natural Demiplane, then it could very likely grow into an Eternal Tree…

The Eternal Tree was the best of all plants. It could directly give birth to elves. In the Natural Demiplane, it could foster a complicated chain of lives.

It had been very difficult to raise lives in the Natural Demiplane. However, with the Eternal Tree’s branch, it shouldn’t be a problem to grow a life tree, or to make it evolve into an Eternal Tree, because the laws of the Natural Demiplane were still evolving, and the Natural Demiplane was still growing…

Looking at the True Spirit Magic Tools in his hand, Lin Yun thought for a moment, and decided to keep them.

Seeing that Lin Yun accepted the gifts so unhesitatingly, Alonzo put on an even bigger smile, but it only made him look even scarier and creepier…

With the Voodoo Doll, Lin Yun was quite confident in what he was going to do.

“Alonzo, you can keep the Voodoo Doll. Although it cannot really hurt the Bloody Lich or affect his luck, we can connect our luck to his through this Voodoo Doll with his real name. Then, we’ll be at the same starting line…”

As he heard what Lin Yun said, Alonzo’s eyes glittered dazzlingly, as if a whole new gate had been opened to him.

The curse of the Voodoo Doll was more like a practical joke if someone at a low level made it, but since Alonzo, the president of the Arcane College, made this one, it could be used as a Curse of Misfortune, even though it wasn’t effective as the Bloody Lich’s.

Still, the Voodoo Doll was a top True Spirit Magic Tool. If Alonzo were to act in person, he could let any mage below level 3 of the Heaven Rank die because of bad luck.

There was also a special usage, which was to share everybody’s luck so that some of them were less lucky than they should be.. It was also possible to connect one’s luck with others’ through the tool.
