Chapter 275: Intermediate level mastery? Shaun, the second master
After recovering and refining some blue mana, he finally opened his eyes using the tier one spell: thieving hand.
Immediately looting the four corpses and taking one spell each and then he started to loot every single thing they possessed.
The tenth master actually possessed a spatial ring which was a pleasant surprise for him.
As for the others, they possessed the highest grade spatial bags which were slightly inferior to the spatial ring, but the resources they possessed in them were abundant.
Aur roughly counted all the value of the resources that he knew of and estimated a whopping value of eighty high-grade mana crystals, not counting the forty scam high-grade mana crystals and the unknown resources that he had never seen before.
This was a huge gain; with this much wealth, he could create at least two tier two spells if he wanted to.
Of course, he wouldn\'t refine tier two spells; they were useless to the current him, and he didn\'t have the capability of refining one.
What he could do, except for finding material to strengthen his cells or do daily quests, is refine his understanding of the various magics.
He could feel that he was very close to reaching intermediate level in the five elemental magic and the vital magic mastery.
These were two magics that he had gained at first.
Although the five elemental magic was one of the more complex magics, Aur had spent more time on it, and ever since his attributes changed into the life level, his understanding had become deeper.
As long as he could refine a spell using the base of the already existing spell, his magic mastery would have officially reached the intermediate level.
This might sound like an easy task, but the difficulty was too great.
For him to refine an entirely new spell, he needed to have a close understanding of the magic, how it works in nature, and various other factors.
Increasing the mastery of any spell was undoubtedly very hard, like climbing a mountain. If you strayed from the path, you would never progress further.
For example, in the entire north village, there were very few individuals in history who had reached the intermediate level.
Only Noah, the village leader, seemed to have reached the intermediate level in ice magic. That was also the reason he was above the other village leaders.
This was top secret; Aur only knew this after becoming an elder and showing his talent as an Alchemist.
That crafty guy had never shown his full strength yet.
Thinking of this, Aur immediately ran away from the place, his figure blurring. Since the two had fled, these places wouldn\'t be safe for a long time.
If that second master came, then it would be the end of Aur. In front of a tier three wizard, he had absolutely no confidence at all.
Soon after Aur vanished, an enraged voice resounded through the surroundings. "Who dared to harm my tenth brother?"
The terrifying presence of a tier three wizard spread as a divine consciousness seemed to extend through the area, catching glimpses of everything.
But only the brutally killed blood splatter and remains were left on the ground, with no living beings present in the surroundings.
"Damn it," his enraged voice echoed through the entire place.
Noah, alarmed by this, came out of the village and looked at the probing sense with a solemn expression.
"A tier three spell?" His heart couldn\'t calm down.
Even he had only one tier three spell from the sound magic, and now this damn merchant had the luxury of using a tier three investigative spell.
Noah could only curse in his heart.
"What happened, Shaun?" he asked, maintaining his calm.
"Someone has killed my tenth brother."
Noah, upon hearing this, became extremely solemn. These merchant families were something the village couldn\'t provoke.
Their master was a tier four wizard; this alone made them extremely formidable.
And this second master was a tier three wizard, even surpassing Noah himself.
If they fought it out, who could win or lose would still need to be decided.
The tenth master being killed in their territory meant they needed to hold some responsibility as well.
Thinking of this, Noah immediately issued an order.
The second master, Shaun, also made an appearance, much like his tenth brother.
He also had the appearance of a wealthy merchant, but his small eyes seemed to have a glint of cunningness.
"Village Leader, Noah is the wizard from your village?" Shaun asked in a meaningful tone, his expression containing some sadness.
Noah immediately shook his head vehemently. "No, that is not possible. Looking at the damage, there is no tier two wizard in our village who fights like that."
"Is that so?" Shaun spoke with a contemplative expression. "I am deeply aggrieved by my tenth brother\'s death. If I give these reports to the patriarch, then the village might not fare well..." His words trailed off, as if intentionally.
Noah tightened his fist hidden underneath his sleeves. "We will investigate all of this deeply and immediately send wizards to pursue these murderers."
"Hm hm," Shaun nodded his head. "This villain is quite strong. Even three of my subordinates at tier two met their demise under his tricks, we absolutely cannot spare him."

"But I truly somewhat doubt your village\'s capability, so I will be inviting a tier three divine investigator here. I hope the village leader won\'t mind."
"How could I mind it? The death of your tenth brother must have caused devastation to your mental health. Welcoming a tier three investigator, no matter who that villain is, he would undoubtedly be brought to justice."
"Good, good," Shaun nodded as he paused. "However, if we find even the slightest trace of your village\'s involvement, be ready to face the consequences of your actions."
"Don\'t worry, Shaun. This villain is definitely not from our village," Noah bowed.
