Chapter 82 The Hand of the Mage
At Benson Manor, Samantha sat on the spacious balcony, staring blankly at the vegetation in the garden.

Helen brought a cup of fragrant black tea and stood quietly behind Samantha.

Her slender fingers stroked the tea set. Time had not left many traces on Samantha's body.

But the tea sets, drinks, flowers and clothes that I once loved, everything seems to have changed.

Everything has faded, and it seems that only the persistence of the vows made in youth remains.

"Helen, Mu Hua is very wary of me." Samantha sighed.

"It's probably not just for you." Helen shook her head.

"Yes, he must have suffered a lot over the years. I should have brought him here earlier. He is very talented and hardworking enough." Samantha was silent for a moment and then sighed.

"Is he diligent? Samantha, it seems like he's getting involved with Kunna." Helen had a strange expression on her face.

"What?" Samantha was surprised.

"Yes, that's what you think." Helen nodded.

"But... Kunna is not... Well~, this age is not quite appropriate, right?" Samantha's tone of resistance turned from surprise to displeasure.

"They didn't have a confirmed relationship, they were probably just bed partners."

"But even if we're bed partners..." Samantha frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Maybe he prefers mature women." Helen spread her hands and analyzed.

Samantha was silent. This seemed to make sense, but... Oh, forget it. Young people will probably settle down after playing around for two years. After all, Kunna is one of us, so there won't be any trouble.

"Haven't those little beasts gone to Bear Pig Town yet?" Compared to the leniency she showed when she mentioned Mu Hua, Samantha's tone suddenly changed and became noticeably harsher.

"Not yet. They've gotten rid of their contact and are very busy lately." Helen replied.

"kindness?"

"Ivy wants the young master of the Caesar family to introduce her to Webster. He probably wants to form a strategy team."

"Mu Siyun is very close to the Naiden Group and has recently attended several balls at the Bridges nobles' house."

"Vic was hired through an agent as a logistics officer for a new brigade. He should be applying for resignation these days."

"We sent them a notice about the start of the trial a few days ago, and have urged them to go to Bear Pig Town as soon as possible to participate in the trial." Helen said in detail.

"Haha, they all look very thoughtful. The Strategy Committee, the Arms Group, and the Emerging Brigade, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask them to sell the Benson family." Samantha sneered.

"I'm afraid that if they sell it too easily, the young lady will be implicated. Mu Hua needs to adapt to Loren, and the young lady also needs more time to learn to be independent." Helen frowned.

"Well... doesn't Kunna want to be the Black Glove? If she can occupy Bearpig Town with her own ability, let her do it." Samantha thought for a moment and said to Helen.

The bright sunshine, insects, birdsong, and tranquility were everywhere in the manor. Samantha invited Helen to sit with her, and the two chatted from time to time, quietly enjoying the afternoon time.

At the same time, Taibesha and Mu Hua in the courtyard 375 were facing another scene.

"Cousin, I've discovered that you're a real all-rounder. With you, we don't even need to look for a dismantler." On the gravel hillside, Taibesha watched Mu Hua smelting the corpses of little demons one by one, and said to Mu Hua in a flattering tone.

Almost all of the seven or eight hundred little demons were killed, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses. The dropped magic stones were picked up by the skeleton guards and ravens, and Mu Hua put the corpses of the little demons into the furnace.

"You'd better find a disassembler. Let me make it clear first. My alchemy skills are not very good. After decomposition, only some pieces of meat will be left. Fur, bones, and even the magic core will hardly be left. The most I can do is deal with some garbage."

Mu Hua didn't mind doing the hard labor of collecting corpses.

However, after he cleaned up, what was left were some things that could not be seen in public.

It would be fine if it was just a worthless low-level monster, but what if a valuable monster was refined into a pile of meat by him in one furnace? He can't possibly take out the other things. Anyone who follows him would be furious.

In order to avoid disputes in the future, the pit should be dug in advance. If Taibesha wants to form a team, Mu Hua will not covet the corpses of those monsters. After all, he can fly solo, and he still has the Abyss Island, right?

"Oh? So, your soul fire is also due to a mutation of your talent? That's no wonder..." Taibetha seemed to be thinking about something.

He is in his twenties, has high attributes and strong magic. If he can reach the level of a genuine alchemist, he will be a bit of a monster. According to Mu Hua, Taibetha is more likely to accept it.

The corpses of the little demons were basically worthless. Their skins could not even be used to make the lowest-level magic scrolls, and their magic cores were not of high quality. Mu Hua said they were garbage collection, and Taibetha just considered it as an environmental protection measure.

I don’t know if it’s because the little devil has no magic, skills, or talents, but he couldn’t melt even one Hundred Refinement Secret Stone out of more than a hundred corpses.

Physical crystals*3, intelligence crystals*7, and other miscellaneous items, but Mu Hua did get a skill stone that surprised him greatly.

Hand of the Mage LV1: Use magic to hold objects in the air within the line of sight, 2% of intelligence attribute is converted into strength, and each point of intelligence increases the reaching distance by one meter.

This is a magic that truly accompanies a mage throughout his life. With it, the mage has the ability to fight continuously. At the same time, it also makes up for most of the mage's power deficiencies to a large extent.

The staffs that appear to float around some mages are probably due to this magic.

Magic is mysterious, but the lethality of offensive magic is indeed very high.

But if the mage relies solely on those powerful offensive magics, his magic power cannot withstand the consumption of high-intensity combat, and it is difficult to cope with a protracted war.

With Mu Hua's current magic power, each time he casts a fireball, he consumes about 5% of his magic power, and the interval between consecutive castings of fireball is about 5 seconds.

In other words, Mu Hua can burst cast twenty fireballs within two minutes. Even if it is just an ordinary fireball, the mage still has a terrifying output among the combat professionals of the same level.

Then, the magic was gone...

Although Mu Hua's current magic value is not high, Fireball is only a basic magic, and this does not include the magic-consuming 'Magic Shield'.

The direct result of extremely high explosive power is lack of follow-up capabilities.

In addition to rationally planning their own magic consumption, a magic that consumes little magic and can organize effective attacks for a long time has become a necessary means for mages.

This is the importance of the seemingly insignificant magic of the Mage's Hand.

An ordinary weakling can probably lift a weight of 5 kilograms, which means that under normal circumstances, a person with a physical attribute of 100 has a strength of kilograms.

However, the physical attribute includes various elements of the body. If five points of physical fitness are converted into five points of pure strength, five points of strength are roughly equivalent to about 5 kilograms.

After absorbing the 7 intelligence crystals he had just obtained, Mu Hua's intelligence rose to 73 points.

The Mage's Hand converts 2% of its intelligence, which means that the Mage's Hand has a strength of about 1.4 and can lift a weight of about 56 kg.

This weight may seem insignificant. Not to mention in front of an adventurer with strong physique, it would be a bit ridiculous even in front of an ordinary person.

But putting aside the fact that Mu Hua’s intelligence is quite low, the 2% intelligence conversion rate is only the initial standard of the Mage’s Hand.

If nothing unexpected happens, as the level of training increases, the Mage's Hand should be able to increase the intelligence conversion rate by 2% per level.

In addition to its extended distance, as long as the distance is kept and a good sword is picked up, a highly intelligent mage can hack the knight to tears.

The power of this magic depends entirely on the intelligence attribute and the level of spell training. With high intelligence and high training, it can allow the mage to compete with the barbarian.

The only flaw is probably that the mage's hand itself is relatively easy to break apart and requires the use of weapons to attack.

But the key is that it consumes low mana, low mana, very low mana.

It is the fundamental guarantee for mages to continue fighting on the battlefield, and it is also the only choice for mages to show off and act cool in their daily lives. . .

He happily absorbed the magician's hand. Although his intelligence was not up to par, Mu Hua's path as a magician was becoming more and more perfect.
