After constructing the magic model of the wind blade in the shooting range in the mage tower, Noah could not wait to test the power of this magic.
"Great wind elf, listen to my call and dance freely. Wind blade!" As Noah finished chanting, the magic in his body surged.
A one-meter-long wind blade condensed in the air. The wind blade was invisible and colorless, and it was extremely fast. It could easily catch the enemy off guard.
"Go!" Noah aimed at the Ironman and released a wind blade.
"Clang!"
The iron armor on the dummy shattered.
Seeing the power of this wind blade, Noah nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, a round of applause could be heard.
"Teacher?" Noah turned around and saw Leon standing behind him.
"I've never seen your talent before. Lily is already very talented, but she's still not as good as you. It's only been a few days, and you've already successfully constructed the first magic model. Back then, it took me nearly two months to construct the first magic model!" Leon praised.
"What's more, the wind blade you cast without the staff is already as powerful as a level-one spell cast with the staff. If you have a staff that suits you, the power can be increased by at least ten percent," Leon continued.
At the mention of the staff, Noah suddenly became interested.
"Teacher, I see that you and Lily both have their own staff. I want to have my own staff too."
"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed. Even if you didn't say it, I was going to tell you. By right, as my student, I should give you a staff. Lily's staff was given to her by me. But after thinking about it, I should let you understand that there is a price to pay."
Noah did not quite understand what Leon meant. Leon then explained, "You should get your staff by yourself!"
"Teacher, please stop with the riddles. Can you just tell me what to do?" Noah asked anxiously.
"I want you to try making your own magic staff. It's actually not difficult to make a magic staff. With your talent and your current mana, you can definitely make a good basic magic staff for yourself. You just need to obtain the materials to make a magic staff. This can be considered a test for you," Leon said unhurriedly.
Then, Leon told Noah how to make a staff.
First of all, he needed to obtain the raw materials needed to make a magic staff, the core of the Crying Tree Demon, and its trunk. Next, he needed to learn how to inject his own spiritual imprint into the magic staff, and learn how to bless the staff!
After that, he would be able to get a staff of his own.
"Teacher, Where can I find the Crying Tree Demon's trunk and core?" Noah asked hurriedly.
"This is what I came here to tell you. There is a Crying Forest 50 kilometers away from Cozovo city, where the Crying Tree Demons grow. However, it is not easy to obtain the tree heart and trunk. Each Crying Tree Demon is equivalent to a first-grade mage. You should have no problem dealing with one of them, but the difficult part is that you may be surrounded by several or even more than a dozen crying dryads at the same time. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger.
"This will be a test for you, but you've mastered a fire-element companion spell. In terms of magic power, your companion spell is almost at the level of a second-grade spell. As long as you're careful, it shouldn't be a problem," Leon added.
"I understand. I've decided to go to the Crying Forest to obtain its core and trunk." Noah decided.
Although this world was incomparably beautiful, it also contained endless dangers at the same time. All this time, he had been closing his doors and working on something, but he was still a flower in a greenhouse.
He needed some risks and tests to better adapt to this world.
"Alright, since you've decided, I'll support you." Leon then handed a scroll to Noah.
"This is a magic scroll. There is a level-two magic stored inside. It can help you overcome your difficulties at a critical moment. There is also a map of the wailing forest. You can head there once you are ready. I will be waiting for your good news." After saying that, Leon explained a few more things to take note of and turned to leave.
The next day, Noah was dressed in a hunting suit. Under Leon's instructions, Noah left Cozovo city and set out for the Crying Forest.
At the same time, Frein came to the manor in the city again and reported Noah's whereabouts to the young master.
Not long after Noah left the city, five men in tight clothes also set off from the manor in Noah's direction.
The Crying Forest was shrouded in a thick fog all year round.
The twisted trees looked like ghastly shadows under the cover of the fog. From time to time, creepy wails could be heard in the forest.
That was how the Crying Forest got its name.
After half a day's journey, Noah finally arrived at the edge of the Crying Forest.
"This should be the Crying Forest." Noah took out the map again to confirm. After confirming that there was no mistake, he put away the map and carefully walked into the Crying Forest.
The thick fog caused the visibility in the forest to be extremely low. Noah could only see about five meters in front of him.
According to the map, the Crying Tree Demons grew in the deepest part of the forest, while the trees on the periphery were just ordinary trees.
It was normal, but Noah did not think so. These crooked trees looked extremely terrifying, and as he went deeper, Noah had a very strange feeling. He always felt like someone was watching him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
As he walked, Noah came to a swamp area. To his surprise, there was a lotus-like plant growing in the swamp. The petals of this plant were light pink and looked very beautiful.
At the same time, the pistil was also emitting wisps of purple smoke. Noah was extremely curious that such beautiful flowers could grow in the swamp.
He seemed to have seen this flower in a book before.
"What was it called?" Looking at the smoke, Noah just could not remember.
Suddenly, a few wisps of smoke drifted in front of him, and a refreshing fragrance entered his nose.
When the smoke entered his body, Noah instantly felt his limbs go soft, and the scene in front of him became a little blurry.
