Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 72: Win-win

Views:

When all the contents of the treasure chest were laid out on the table, everyone couldn't take their eyes off them, even Felix was no exception - every time he received his mother's inheritance, he deeply felt the deep maternal love.

"According to the rules, I'll be the first to choose."

"please."

The distribution method had already been stipulated in the oath contract. If there was only a single treasure, Felix would have to compensate Sonia with a large amount of money;

If there is a double treasure, it will be divided equally between the two;

If there are multiple treasures, Felix will choose 1 first, Sonia will choose 2 or 3, Felix will choose 4 or 5... and so on.

But the amount of treasure Felix obtains must be greater than or equal to Sonia's, and the wooden box must be left to Felix.

To be honest, Sonia really wanted to fight with Felix for the ownership of the wooden box. With this wooden box that can be transmitted back and forth between reality and virtuality, she can exchange materials with the viewer, which is of great help to both her and the viewer.

But the contract clearly stated that 'the container belongs to Felix', and Felix refused very firmly, so Sonia had no choice - who could have guessed that the box containing the treasure was more valuable than the treasure itself!

Sonia could only give up temporarily. After all, this treasure was actually blown by the wind, so it was reasonable for Felix to take a bigger share.

If Sonia hadn't accidentally obtained the 'Sword of Killing', Felix would never have recruited her into the gang.

And Sonia had a vague feeling that—

Her 'Killing Sword' might have been dropped by Felix.

Although Felix didn't say it, since he was able to discover that Sonia possessed the Killing Sword through the flow of killing intent, it meant that he must have possessed a killing-type magic spirit before, and it was most likely the Killing Sword.

If not, then he is like a fool who only has a wine glass and red wine, but no wine opener. As long as no one shows up with a wine opener, he can't open the red wine... Even if Felix is really that stupid, his mother who can arrange inheritance in the virtual world will not be that stupid.

More importantly, the wound on the severely injured fish-slaying dragon that she and the viewer fought yesterday looked like it was caused by a wave sword. She didn't care at the time, after all, the wound didn't mean anything.

But when all the evidence was laid out before her, even if Sonia didn't believe it was such a coincidence, she had to believe the truth she had deduced from her own logic:

Felix's half-condensed silver wing;

A treasure in the virtual world that must be opened with the sword of killing intent;

And the Fish-Slaying Dragon who was seriously injured by the Wave Sword.

Obviously, Felix must have encountered a whirlpool last night. After crossing the whirlpool, he was attacked by the Fish-Slaying Dragon. Although he tried his best to seriously injure the Fish-Slaying Dragon, he finally died and lost the Sword of Killing.

What happens next is the joyful moment of Sonia and the viewers crossing the vortex and picking up bargains.

But in this way, Sonia not only picked up someone else's murderous sword, but also used it to share someone else's treasure.

When Sonia thought of this, her face turned red, her heart pounded, and she lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at others.

Otherwise, people would notice that she couldn't hold back her smile.

awesome!

Is this a win-win situation

I won once by picking up the Sword of Killing, and then I won again by using the Sword of Killing to divide Felix's treasure!

Ah, praise the beholder!

I wish this little trumpet viewer good health!

"Sonia, it's your turn."

Sonia took a deep breath to hold back her smile and looked at the treasure in the wooden box.

As expected, Felix chose the only real object in the wooden box: the locket.

Although there was no clue, this was probably an important token left by his mother, and perhaps it was related to the next inheritance. Sonia naturally had no intention of fighting for something that she shouldn't have. She took a look at the treasure in the wooden box and decisively took the 'Splitting Sword' magic spirit and the 'Sword Art Orb'!

The 'Split Sword' is not the best, but it is the most suitable magic spirit for Sonia, because it can be combined with the Wave Sword to form the high-powered miracle 'Splitting Wave Slash'!

If she had to practice summoning by herself, Sonia estimated that it would take her half a year to summon the 'Split Sword'. Obtaining the 'Split Sword' in advance not only means saving time, but also means that Sonia can speed up the progress of virtual realm exploration!

In the battle last night, Sonia discovered her current shortcomings. Although the Water Moon Miracle is indeed powerful, it also has disadvantages such as passive counterattack, short attack distance, and excessive consumption of magic power. She urgently needs an active output miracle that can cooperate with the spectator, and the 'Miracle·Splitting Wave' is the most cost-effective choice.

Felix also has the Wave Sword, and Sonia is worried that he will snatch the Split Sword, so naturally she has to get it first. As for the 'Sword Art Orb', there is nothing much to say. Any sane swordsman would not miss such a treasure.

But Felix's choice was beyond everyone's expectations: he took the 'Poison Orb' and the 'Wind Orb'.

Wind magic is fine, at least it is considered a legitimate magic school, but poison magic is an extremely unpopular school. Not only are there no relevant courses offered in universities, there are not even any learning books on the market. It is estimated that only some special departments have relevant information.

Moreover, Felix is the second young master of Vosloda, and his status does not allow him to use poison. The House of Nobles will not allow anyone to do such a thing that damages the reputation of the nobility!

It was Sonia's turn to choose the treasure. Under the enthusiastic gaze of her roommates, Sonia thought for a moment and took away the most valuable 'Running' and 'Water Therapy' magic spirits.

Felix chose the 'evil' magic spirit and the 'bloody wind' magic spirit.

There are only two magic spirits left. According to the distribution rules, Felix must take more than Sonia, so Sonia can only take one.

"Which one do you want?" Sonia asked.

"I'm fine with anything. Whatever."

"Then I'll be welcome."

Sonia took the "Weak" magic spirit, which is a magic spirit with low practicality but high value. It can only be activated when the magician is weaker than the enemy. The effect is to provide a full range of bonuses to the weak magician, including but not limited to strength, agility, magic power, and thinking speed. The greater the gap between the magician and the enemy, the greater the bonus it grants.

It sounds okay, but the problem is that the bonus provided by the weaker party cannot make up for the difference in strength. When the strength of the two sides is close, it is completely useless; and when the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, it cannot help the magician to fight back.

On the contrary, it will give the magician a psychological hint: even the weak magic spirit thinks you are weak.

In fact, many battles between magicians are all about who makes fewer mistakes and who perseveres to the end, and the psychological suggestion that "you are the weak one" will make the magician lose more easily, and it can even be said to be a curse: the weak one thinks you will lose this time, and then you will definitely lose.

But the magic spirit of the weak is very valuable, because it is one of the few magic spirits that cannot be obtained through practice and learning. There is only one way to obtain it - when the weak defeats the strong almost miraculously, there is a certain probability that it will be born in the heart of the weak.

It is also the most mysterious destiny faction magic spirit, with extremely high research value, so it is in short supply in the market. There are too many magicians who want to study the destiny faction through the weak magic spirits.

Felix naturally took away the last magic spirit 'Sad Wind'.

After the distribution of experience orbs and magic spirits, the next thing is the knowledge that can be shared: miracle formula! The contract stipulates that knowledge such as miracle formula cannot be copied or leaked. The original record is left to Felix, but everyone can view it.

There were ten miracle spells in the wooden box, but there was only one sword-related miracle, which was the combination miracle of the Killing Sword and the Wave Sword, 'Evil Light Slash'. It was a wave miracle that could cause stun damage to the enemy. Sonia quickly memorized this miracle.

Now the treasure in the wooden box was completely divided up, but Adele picked up the wooden box and squinted her eyes to observe it. Lois asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Adele said seriously, "I'm checking to see if there's any interlayer inside. Maybe there's treasure inside. Felix will take it out and keep it for himself after we leave."

"It's written in the contract that no matter what Felix finds, he has to inform us for distribution," Ingridt said with a smile.

"Okay, the contract is really well thought out!"

"Similarly, if we discover any secrets among these spirits, we will share them with Felix."

"Ah? Why? The magic spirit is ours once it falls into our hands!"

Lois stared at Sonia, and Sonia thought for a moment, "I'll take the Sword Art Orb and the Split Sword myself, and I'll give you the three Art Spirits, the Flow, the Water Treatment, and the Weakling. How do you think?"

They naturally had no objection. Sonia had brought money into the group after all, and the three of them were just taking advantage of Sonia. If Sonia was bolder and didn't bring them, she could even get 64 points with Felix, but for the sake of safety, Sonia would rather give up her own interests and coerce the three amulets.

"But you are not magicians yet, so I will keep your magic spirits for the time being. I will return them to you when you grow up."

Adele was startled: "Why does this statement sound familiar to me..."

"However, there is another way to distribute the profits. That is to sell your magic spirits and divide the money among the three of you. How about that?"

Lois shook her head first: "I want the Flowing Spirits. The Flowing Spirits are the most valuable. I can pay them some money to compensate them."

Like 'Torrent', 'Torrent' is an excellent water magic spirit, and it also has the additional effect of fast movement. Lois naturally would not miss it.

Adele looked at Ingrid: "I want a hydrotherapy skill. My mother said that being a healer is very popular..."

Ingridt didn't seem to care: "Then I want the weakling's magic spirit."

After the distribution of benefits was over, Felix was about to ask to send them back, but Adele asked, "Are there any snacks here? Is there any black tea?"

Felix was startled: "There is one in the kitchen..."

"Is it afternoon tea time next?" Adele said excitedly, "I've never had a tea party in such a luxurious villa before! I'll take some more photos later!"

"Take a picture?" Felix raised his voice.

Adele said as a matter of course: "Of course we have to take pictures, otherwise it would be a waste of time."

Lois sided with Adele this time: "Everyone saw us leaving in your car. Let's take some photos of the tea party so we can explain where we were going this afternoon."

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" Adele nodded heavily and ran into the stairs with her skirt lifted up: "I'll go see what snacks are in the kitchen!"

Lois and Ingrid looked at each other, sighed, and followed. A shared secret is indeed the best lubricant. After this treasure incident, the relationship between Ingrid and Lois and others has unknowingly become much closer.

Sonia walked to the stairs and turned to look at Felix who was still sitting, "You're not going?"

"I'm not interested. Have fun." Felix held the newly acquired locket in his hand. "Besides, I have something else to do."

Sonia nodded, "You don't plan to learn swordsmanship?"

Half of the magic spirits and orbs in the treasure had nothing to do with swordsmanship, and only one of the miracles was a swordsmanship miracle, while the others were all composite miracles of wind, water, and poison. This was the treasure his mother left for him, and it was obvious that his mother had not arranged a path for him to take in swordsmanship.

"Professor Trozan is a good teacher. I still need his protection for the time being." Felix smiled and said, "I will continue to learn swordsmanship, but I will never be as good as you."

"The second young master of the Vosiloda family also needs protection?"

"Not to mention a mere Second Young Master, even Duke Vosloda would have to be careful to guard against revenge in the dark." Felix sneered.

Sonia raised her eyebrows: "Your noble circle is really messy."

"But don't you still want to be one of them?" Felix shook his head: "Sometimes, I actually envy you, Sonia Servi..."

"Alright, young nobleman who has been well-fed since childhood, stop saying such disgusting things." Sonia waved her hand. "However, since I am your senior schoolmate and now I have benefited from this treasure, I have to tell you something in advance."

Felix curled his lips. He was helpless when Sonia called herself his senior. After all, Professor Trozan accepted Sonia as an apprentice first, and then accepted him. In terms of sequence, Sonia was indeed a little earlier.

"If you are on the run due to a dispute among nobles in the future and are in urgent need of help but have nowhere to stay..."

Felix was a little surprised. He had already mentioned Duke Vosloda. Could Sonia still dare to get involved in his affairs? This forced him to refresh his understanding of Sonia's character.

"... You must remember not to come to me." Sonia warned: "In order to clear suspicion and protect my future, I will definitely coax you to stay, and then bring people to arrest you and exchange you for the title reward."

"Well, I've already told you in advance. If you suddenly get a brain cramp and insist on pinning your hopes on me, don't blame me for being ruthless and turning my back on you."

Although it was completely contrary to his imagination, Felix still refreshed his understanding of Sonia's character.
