As it was being set in, Su Lin clearly saw the gem shrink in an instant, from its original large size to a size that perfectly fit the groove in the scepter.
"It's amazing."
Su Lin was somewhat amazed. He felt a powerful magical fluctuation emanating from the holy scepter in his hand, as if the return of this magical gem had restored some of its power.
At the same time, Su Lin also noticed significant changes in the mechanism information of the Holy Scepter.
【Holy Scepter】: Red quality; Historical artifact; It is currently in a damaged state, with only one Earth-type ultimate magic ball intact. It can cast high-level and lower-level Earth magic an unlimited number of times per day, and can cast at least three forbidden Earth magic spells per day; When the magic ball's magic power is exhausted, it loses the corresponding part of its spellcasting ability and requires at least seven days to recover.
[Item Value]: 12 million resource coins.
"Oh, it works right now?"
Su Lin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He held the Holy Scepter in his hand and suddenly felt a surge of knowledge about earth magic and casting techniques flooding his mind.
The feeling was quite mysterious; it seemed that as long as one held the scepter, one naturally possessed all these powers, even without any magic.
As Su Lin's heart stirred, he raised his scepter and pointed it slightly at the person opposite him.
"The terrain has changed!"
Su Lin gave a soft shout, and the earth magic ball inside the scepter glowed faintly. Almost the instant Su Lin finished speaking, the floor of the room the scepter was pointing at suddenly bulged up, and a small hill bulged in the room. It forcefully pushed aside the surrounding room items and was so tall that it almost broke through the ceiling.
"What's this?!"
Xiao Linlin stared in amazement, then saw Su Lin wave his scepter and softly shout, "Pacify the magic."
The small hill in front of them shrank back as if it had been reduced in size, and the floor of the room returned to normal. Only the scattered and broken furniture around them proved the traces of the magic that had just occurred.
"What powerful spellcasting techniques!"
Xiao Linlin exclaimed sincerely, "Instantaneous, convenient, and completely at your fingertips! Congratulations, brother, you've got another trump card!"
Even though she didn't understand magic, she could still glean clues from Su Lin's behavior.
This scepter is extraordinary. Anyone who wields it is equivalent to becoming a great mage proficient in one type of magic. If all nine types of magic orbs are on the scepter, then one can instantly become an all-around great mage proficient in all nine types!
This is of extraordinary significance. Looking at the history of the world, there has never been a single great mage of the nine elements. Even the elves, who are most skilled in magic, have never had such a powerful genius.
And this scepter can do just that! It truly deserves the name of a divine artifact!
"Take it."
Su Lin tossed the scepter to Xiao Linlin: "Put the rest of the stones in yourself, and this thing will be yours from now on."
The scepter is very convenient to use; the magic is something you understand as soon as you hold it, but forget as soon as you let go.
The moment Su Lin released the scepter, all the magical knowledge in his mind vanished instantly, as if the scepter were like a portable hard drive, plug and play.
"Huh? Brother, are you going to give it to me? Don't you need it yourself?"
Xiao Linlin was pleasantly surprised. The scepter was just the right size for Su Lin, but it was too big for Xiao Linlin, almost reaching her chest.
Fortunately, it is very light, so the little girl won't feel tired holding it.
“I have so many things I can use. In case the team gets separated in the future, you need to have some ability to protect yourself. This is quite suitable for you.”
Su Lin smiled and said, "You always think of me, and your own progress and growth have been delayed for a long time. This scepter can be considered to make up for that."
Su Lin has seen and appreciated all of Xiao Linlin's efforts.
Although the little girl isn't infallible in her strategies, she's a great help most of the time and a highly meritorious member of the team.
She was more deserving of the divine scepter than anyone else.
Moreover, even if this thing were given to Xiao Linlin, its master at the mechanism level would still belong to Su Lin, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Brother, you're so kind!"
Xiao Linlin gave Su Lin a sweet smile, and she was quite well-behaved, not saying anything about being grateful, because she knew Su Lin hated those kinds of things.
He never looks at what others say, only at what they do.
This is also why Su Lin is more accommodating to Jia Zhengyi's sharp tongue. It's okay to be more relaxed when talking within your own team, but you can't be careless when it comes to getting things done.
The following day, Xiao Linlin devoted herself to studying the sacred scepter.
She set the remaining six gems in order and, accompanied by Elrere, went to the military spellcasting grounds in the city to begin experimenting. Although she couldn't cast spells with excessive power, she was able to get a basic feel for the scepter's abilities and effects.
"Great!"
Xiao Linlin was beaming with joy: "From now on, I'm a magic turret too!"
To be honest, having a smart magic turret is a significant boost to the team's overall strength.
While Xiao Linlin was tinkering with the various effects of the Holy Scepter, Su Lin wasn't idle either, hiding in his room to continue studying his martial arts manual.
No one knows how far he has progressed in his self-study, nor how many secret manuals he has read. All that is known is that he studies diligently whenever he has free time, and his hard work would put many students who have studied for years to shame.
After dark, Jia Zhengyi returned and completed the task Xiao Linlin had entrusted to him.
"The Duke agreed. He allocated 120,000 logistics troops to us and appointed me as the [Commander of the Elf Branch Legion], concurrently serving as the [Deputy Commander of Sky Fortress]."
Jia Zhengyi proudly showed Xiao Linlin and Su Lin the appointment letter: "Our new team is stationed outside the city and is ready to be dispatched at any time. I took a look when I had some free time. They are not a bunch of old, weak and disabled soldiers. There are some elites among them. The Duke doesn't dare to be perfunctory with us."
They needed 100,000 soldiers, but they had 20,000 more than they needed.
It was clear that the Duke's fawning attitude was even more intense than before, obviously because he had received a hint from the King to use the squad as a bridge to firmly bind the existing war alliance with the Elven race.
This concerns the survival of the race, and no one in the human camp dares to be careless.
"good."
Su Lin was very satisfied with Jia Zhengyi's efficiency. Just then, Jia Zhengyi entered the room, also surprised and envious of the sacred scepter in Xiao Linlin's hand.
To be fair, Su Lin didn't make things difficult for Jia Zhengyi, and tossed something from his backpack to Jia Zhengyi: "Here, this is for you."
