My Magic Has No Upper Limit

Chapter 313: Chapter 293: Space Crystal Stone 2

Instructor Manlin explained.

"It has two effects. The first is when you inject Magic Power without designating a location."

"In that case, the Power of Space will randomly teleport you to a safe area within about three hundred meters."

Manlin added with precision.

"But when I say ’safe’... it just means you’ll avoid getting stuck in a wall, falling from a great height, or being embedded directly into a cliff face."

"Where you ultimately end up still depends on your immediate surroundings."

Zelir nodded.

’So if you don’t specify a destination, the Power of Space will just fling you somewhere randomly, only guaranteeing that you don’t die.’

"The second effect is when you designate an area after injecting Magic Power."

Manlin continued.

"In this case, you need to focus your attention and concentrate your Spirit on the place you want to go."

"After activation, the Power of Space will teleport you there directly."

"However, because it consumes energy for positioning, the teleportation distance for a designated area is shorter... probably only about two hundred meters."

"This..."

After hearing Instructor Manlin’s explanation, Zelir was becoming more and more shocked.

’This thing is incredible...’

’A consumable item that allows for short-distance spatial teleportation is undoubtedly extremely valuable.’

’In a critical moment, it’s an important item that could save my life!’

"Take it. You might have a use for it," Instructor Manlin said with a smile.

"Instructor Manlin... I really don’t know what to say. Thank you so much for your kindness."

Zelir swallowed hard. "But this is too valuable. I can’t..."

Before Zelir could finish, Instructor Manlin took his hand.

She placed the Space Crystal Stone in his palm, then closed his fingers around it, making him hold it.

Her movements were gentle, and her voice was just as soft.

"Hold on to it... Like I told you before, don’t feel pressured."

"You are my student. Of course I hope you can return safely."

"If you can use it, I’ll naturally be very happy, because it means it helped you."

Manlin’s tone became lighter. "And if you don’t end up using it, it’s not too late to give it back to me when you return."

"Instructor Manlin..."

"Alright, no need for any more thanks. It makes us sound like strangers."

Instructor Manlin raised a finger and pressed it to Zelir’s lips.

She winked at Zelir. "Remember, be extra careful out there. Be vigilant, and don’t get into trouble."

"Mm... I understand."

Zelir could only take a deep breath and nod lightly.

"Instructor Manlin, you take care as well."

Just as Zelir was about to get up and leave, Instructor Manlin called out to him again.

"Oh, right, Zelir... there’s one more thing."

When Zelir turned back, he found that Manlin had already turned away, so he couldn’t see the expression on her face.

"I may only be a Magic Tutor, not a relationship counselor, but... Bev is a wonderful girl. You must cherish her."

"Instructor Manlin..."

Zelir was slightly taken aback. "How did you know about that?"

"Hmph..."

With her back still to Zelir, her voice came out like a soft chuckle.

"Don’t go thinking I’m some kind of weirdo who spies on her students..."

"It’s just that if you two want to be intimate, you should at least pick a more secluded spot... Don’t you think the Lake Heart Pavilion is a little too brazen?"

"Yes... Understood, Instructor Manlin." Zelir felt his face flush red.

The room returned to silence once more.

...

Standing at the door of Instructor Manlin’s office, Zelir paused for a moment and shook his head with a sigh.

’Sigh, Instructor Manlin has helped me so much. It’s a debt of gratitude I can never fully repay...’

’Of course, I can’t just accept all this with a clear conscience.’

’I’ll just have to see if there’s a suitable opportunity to repay her in the future.’

’At the very least, I can’t let myself be forever indebted to her.’

Before leaving the Mage’s Guild, Zelir made a special trip to Barrett’s shop.

He figured there was a high probability he wouldn’t be back before the fifth of next month.

To avoid breaking his promise, he decided to repay his loan in advance.

"I’m about to go on a long trip, so I’d like to pay next month’s installment early."

Zelir got straight to the point and counted out the coins.

Barrett took the money pouch, demonstrating the straightforwardness and shrewdness of an excellent merchant.

"Since you’re so principled, Mr. Zelir, paying early before the month is even up, I, Barrett, can’t be stingy either."

He quickly scribbled a few lines in his ledger.

"The rules are rigid, but people are flexible. For this period’s interest, I’ll waive half of it! Consider it a farewell blessing for your journey!"

According to the agreement, he was supposed to repay 17 Gold Coins and 75 Silver Coins of the principal each month, plus 1 Gold Coin in interest, for a total of 18 Gold Coins and 75 Silver Coins.

This time, with a wave of his hand, Barrett only took 18 Gold Coins and 25 Silver Coins from Zelir.

Although it was only a savings of 50 Silver Coins, it represented goodwill and a foundation for long-term cooperation.

After that, Zelir was left with ninety-two Gold Coins, plus some loose Silver and Copper Coins.

After returning to the Night Flower Inn, Zelir paid for another month’s rent in advance—fifty Silver Coins.

Even though he probably wouldn’t be living here for most of the coming month...

’Still, it’s better to book it in advance.’

’I’ve grown quite fond of that room; switching would be a hassle.’

Besides, it also served as a psychological suggestion:

’I will definitely be back.’

...

「Two days later.」

「Black Stone Town.」

The great winter snow, which had been brewing for so long, finally showed signs that it was about to devour everything.

Zelir stood in the cold wind at the South Gate, the hem of his Magic Robe snapping and whipping behind him in the gale.

The oppressive feeling, assaulting both sight and sound, made one soberly realize—if they didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t be able to leave at all.

A caravan was conducting its final pre-departure checks.

This was the convoy of carriages Bev had arranged for the team, heading directly to Sengu Town.

"Hurry up! One last check on the ropes!"

"Check the axles! And make sure that damn tarp is sealed tight!"

"This shipment is refined Ore and cold-resistant Magical Beast hides! Do one more count and make sure nothing’s missing!"

Dozens of laborers bustled about in the cold wind, working up such a sweat that steam rose from their heads even in the sub-zero temperature.

Heavy cargo was lashed to the carriage frames, and the horses snorted, puffing out thick white clouds of breath.

Next to one of the carriages, the other members of the team had also gathered, all waiting for the moment of departure.

Among them was another beautiful figure.

Bev.

She wore a thick, pure white woolen coat, its fluffy texture accentuating her small, delicate face.

A few strands of golden hair escaped from under her hat, dangling beside cheeks reddened by the cold wind.

Standing amidst the flurry of light snow, Bev looked like a snow Elf.

"Zelir!"

Seeing the tall, slender figure in black approach, Bev waved her hand enthusiastically, her voice filled with joy.

"Why are you waiting for me out here?"

Zelir strode forward and rubbed Bev’s reddened cheeks, feeling a pang of tenderness. "Aren’t you afraid of freezing?"

"Because I wanted to see you sooner."

"Are you cold?"

"Not cold." Bev nuzzled her cheek against Zelir’s palm.

Zelir then greeted his other teammates.

They, too, looked ready to set off at a moment’s notice.

Before long, a slightly chubby, middle-aged man trotted up to Zelir and Bev.

He first bowed slightly to Bev, then spoke respectfully.

"Miss Bev, the cargo has been checked and secured. We can depart at any time."

"Mm..."

Bev nodded, then introduced him to Zelir. "This is Booker, the person in charge of this merchant caravan."

"Booker, this is the Mage in the escorting Guard Team, Zelir. He’s also the overall commander."

"Regarding any decisions about safety along the way, you are to listen to his opinions. Understand?"

"Understood! Perfectly understood!"

Booker stepped forward very eagerly to shake his hand.

"Mage Zelir, I’ve long heard of your great name. I never expected we could have you serve on our merchant guild’s Guard Team. This is truly reassuring."

"I thought you were the captain?" Hill said from the side, glancing at Marcus with a soft laugh.

"Ah, it doesn’t matter who it is. We can just decide things together," Marcus said, waving his hand dismissively.
