Next, I tried to use the Wooden Cane by firing a Fireball at the Lv.3 Needlewood that we happened across next. Much to my surprise, killing one Needlewood with it took more shots than when I killed the same kind of monster with a Wooden Wand, which lead me to the inevitable conclusion that out of the two of them, wands are giving a much stronger boost to the users magic power than canes, but then, what purpose do the canes serve in this world? Is there something that I still dont know about them? Ugh, I should have asked the clerk back at the weapons shop about it. That way I wouldnt have to spend money on something that I am probably not going to use, eve if it meat losing the 30% Discount due to not buying multiple items at once. Now that I think about it, I should have gone and bought a rod instead of a cane, since rods are probably the strongest out of all three types ow weapons used to cast magic, but on the other hand, they were much more expensive than wands and canes
Now that I have a wand and know that it is stronger than a cane, should I just keep it and use it to fight mobsters from now on? With a wand as my main weapon, I can defeat the enemies from the third floor with three spells without letting them get close to me, meaning that there will be no risk of me or Roxanne getting hurt, which is why I became interested in fighting with magic in the first place. Of course, it would be nice to have a stronger weapon that could make it possible for me to defeat enemies even faster, but do I really need something like that at the current moment, all the more so when I concluded that I have to save as much money as possible by not spending them on needless things? Nah, for the time being, three-shotting enemies is more than enough for me.
As long as I continue to level up the Mage Job, then MP and magic power should not be a problem either, since both those stats increase with the Level Ups. After realizing how big the difference in attack power between the Copper Sword, Wooden Cane and Wooden Wand is, I concluded that since the numbers of the Copper Sword pale in comparison to the other two, theres no reason for me to use it as a primary weapon at all.
Its exactly as you said, Roxanne. Wands and canes do increase the strength of my spells. Without them, defeating that monster would have taken four shots instead of three. Thank you.
I just shared what I knew, and you were the one to utilize that knowledge in practice in an amazing way! As expected of you, master!
Each and every one of your advice has proven to be incredibly helpful so far, so I hope you will continue to guide me from here onward.
Yes, of course! Thank you very much!
And with that compliment for Roxanne, I hearby declare the test run of wands and canes to be successfully concluded! Now that our business here was done for the day, we Warped back to the Adventurers Guild and walked back to the inn on foot from there. That way, the reserves of my MP wont go down as fast so soon after I recovered all of it.
One night in the two-people room, with dinner. After the meal, I would like you to deliver two basins with hot water and a lantern to our room.
Right away.
We went back to the Veil Pavilion and rented a room for the night. If everything goes well, this should be the last night we will be spending in this place. For a moment I considered telling that to the owner behind the reception counter, but ultimately decided to stay silent for the time being. Its not like him knowing that we wont be staying here any longer would change anything in the log run, since Im sure he has other clients besides us who stay here at the regular basis. Also, if he knew that this was supposed to be our last night here, there is always a possibility that he might have tried to add something shady to our food, or maybe try and steal from us at the last possible moment. The thing is, since I do not have Durandal with me right now and all of my money and other belongings are either safely stored in my Item Box or back at our new house in Quratar, that means that I dont have anything of value on me right now, so even if he tried that, he would find nothing of value to take away from me. Nothing except except Roxanne He might try to steal Roxanne from me, since he saw how much of a hottie she is! (TL Note:SighI swear to God, what the hell is wrong with the Japanese and their NTR fetish. Feels like Rent a Girlfriend all over again.)
No! I am not having that! Over my dead body! I should be silent and not say anything about this being our last night here after all. Safety first. Yup. It is in my and Roxannes best interest that I keep silent and speak not even a single word about it to the owner.
