Chapter 20: The Magical Use of "The Master's Hand"

Joan washes his hands and stretches forward. Looking up, the vast wetland unfolded in front of his eyes, extending to the end of the field of vision. There is still snow in the shade, and the sunny area is already a lush greenery. Large reeds and juniper grass sway in the wind, and small birds chirp in the grass from time to time. If you watch the spring in front of you with the mentality of tourists, it would be a great place for outings.
Joan shook his head gently, secretly warning himself not to be fooled by the bright scenery in front of him. There are countless bottomless quagmire hidden in the green reeds. Don't think of climbing up again when you step on it. There are many predators far more terrifying than the quagmire in the swamp, not to mention dinosaurs, pythons and lizardmen. The crocodiles and poisonous snakes lurking outside the swamp are enough for him.
Although making money is urgent, it is not as important as his own life. Joan didn’t want to walk into the depths of the murderous swamp, raised his hand to dispel annoying mosquitoes, and wandered towards the opposite near the edge of the swamp with muddy water. It's just cool.
Joan flipped all the rocks under the tree to make sure that there were no poisonous insects like centipedes and scorpions. Then he sat down with confidence and leaned back against the trunk to make a comfortable sigh. After taking a five-minute break, he took off his backpack, took out a wooden box about two feet long, one foot wide and half a foot high, and carefully opened the lid, which was covered with a soft and damp sawdust, which was faintly visible in the sawdust More than ten brown-yellow leeches wriggled slightly.
Confirming that all of his morning gains were alive, Joan's mood improved slightly. Close the wooden box and put it in the shade, then he will try to catch the leech in a completely new way.
Joan closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, calming his mood, smoothly entering the spell-focused state, skillfully playing spell-casting gestures, singing elven spells, and finally ending with a short start character.
"Rúma!"
Joan's right hand glowed pale, and the magic turned into a near-transparent "mage's hand", probing into the mud below the earth slope.
With Joan’s current spell-casting ability, the limit extension distance of Ring 0’s
Mage’s Hand
is almost eight yards. This distance is not long but short, but it is enough to extend from the of Joe’s body to the below. swamp.
There is no upper limit to the duration of "Mage's Hand". As long as Joanne can maintain mental concentration, this invisible force field hand can replace his hands and tirelessly turn the mud to catch leeches. This magically shaped palm is different from the flesh-and-blood body. The maximum weight limit of 5 pounds is more than enough to pick up a small leech, which is very suitable for his current job in any way.
Joan sits in the shade of the tree without moving her fingertips. It is based on the idea of ​​remotely controlling the "Mage's Hand" to churn the mud to catch leeches. Not only is it more labor-saving than the hands-on, but also the capture efficiency is higher. A piece of leech.
Joan packed all the leeches he caught into the wooden box, and looked at the increasing prey, and felt more comfortable.
According to the minimum standard of catching 100 leeches per hour, at least 1,000 leeches can be caught every day, and 10 Kinduga can be exchanged for from Mr. Kailandil. Unless he finds a more profitable way to make money, Joanne is still satisfied with the current earnings.
Catching leeches is a very boring job. Fortunately, Joan can also exercise his ability to cast spells-maintaining the "mage's hand" for a long time can strengthen his concentration, and by continuously catching slippery small leeches can improve him Details of the control of the "Mage's Hand".
With the improvement of remote control skills, the efficiency of capturing leeches has also continued to increase. When the sun is about to set, Joan has averaged an amount of 200 leeches in an hour.
The last rays of the western sky finally sank to the horizon, and the evening mist enveloped the swamp, and the sky quickly dimmed. Joan rubbed his sore eyes and got up and stretched. As the night grew deeper, he could no longer see the mud 30 feet away. In such an environment, he could not continue to catch leeches, so he had to finish today's work and took his suitcase to return to Delin Town.
Joan walked back to the town from the swamp for two hours. When he arrived home, it was almost eight o'clock, and while the leeches were still alive, Joan first went to the clinic and handed over 800 wooden leeches to Mr. Kylandiel.
Dr. Kaylandil is a beautiful and elegant half-elf man. He is almost 30 years old by human standards. His silent character is quite in line with Joan. He opened the wooden box and saw the dense leeches inside, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, showing a surprised look.
Despite some surprises, Kailandir did not ask Joan what method he used to catch so many leeches in just one day. He simply estimated the total number of leeches and took out 10 gold coins and handed them to Joan.
"Doctor, I have counted it. There are a total of 831 leeches here." Joan received 9 gold coins, took out his purse, and planned to get change to Kailandil.
"No need to look for it." Kailandil waved his hand. "You have worked hard all day, and the remaining money will be your travel expenses."
Joan thanked him gratefully, hesitated for a moment, and summoned the courage to ask Kailandil: "Doctor, can you show me how you made the leech medicine?"
"How much do you know about alchemy and pharmacy?"
"I have only read a few related books, but I don’t understand them in many places."
"Interested?"
"Yes." Joan nodded seriously.
Kailandil smiled and murmured: "Yeah, if you are interested in becoming an outstanding mage, my little friend, then you have to spend some energy to learn alchemy and pharmacy, after all, this also belongs to An important branch of magical knowledge, mages who don’t know pharmaceuticals, will be laughed at."
"Would you like to teach me?" Joan looked at the half-elf expectantly.
Kailandil thought for a moment and nodded gently.
"The clinic is open for business at 8 in the morning, and I'm free between 6 and 8 o'clock. You can come to see me for refining medicine. There are also weekends. If you have time, you can come to me at any time."
"That, tuition..." Joan stopped talking.
"Without any tuition, you can help me catch a few more leeches," Kailandil said lightly.
"That's really... Thank you so much." Joan bowed deeply to him excitedly.
Kailandil smiled gently and turned to draw a book from the shelf and handed it to Joanne.
"This is the "Introduction to Alchemy and Pharmacy" I wrote. You can take it back and take a look. There are a lot of basic knowledge worth reading. After reading this book, you are almost qualified to be my experimental assistant."
