In Khorvaire, this kind of wand is called a battlemage wand, which allows the user to cast magic more conveniently and quickly.

Studies have shown that spells cast by a person using a battlemage wand are more powerful than spells cast by the same person without a wand.

Moreover, when using a magic wand, spells will be more accurate and can hit the enemy even when half of the enemy is covered.

At the beginning, this thing was actually just a substitute for the staff, and it could even be said to be a "toy" made for students in the magic academy.

But people soon discovered that this easy-to-carry spell-amplifying equipment was actually not much worse than a staff, and was extremely cheap to make.

Compared to the materials used by a staff or scepter, a wand of the same level only uses one-tenth or even less.

The reason why Carl was treated so warmly by the shop owner was because Carl used extremely ordinary materials to make a wand of at least precious quality.

As long as the battle mage's wand is successfully made, it will at least be of extraordinary quality, but if it is higher, it will require very high skills from the maker.

The amplification effect of the battle mage's wand on spells depends to a greater extent on the manufacturing process. Even if relatively mediocre materials are used, there is a certain probability that a finished product of extremely rare quality can be produced.

A battle mage wand of rare quality would usually cost no less than two thousand gold coins, and one of extremely rare quality would cost at least ten thousand gold coins.

The profit here is huge.

Declining the owner's hospitality, Carl and Hope paid the money and prepared to stay in a nearby hotel.

However, when passing by a magic item store, Carl went in and bought some scrolls of 0-level and 1-level spells.

The list of spells he can now use has expanded, and with the abilities brought by the biological plug-in, he plans to replenish his spell pool.

After booking a standard room for 10 days at the hotel front desk, Calhope was led to his room by the waiter.

After eating the food prepared by the hotel, the two of them simply washed up and prepared to take a short rest.

Hope fell asleep soon, and Carl turned off the lights and rested after reading several 0-level spell scrolls.

…

"Did you see clearly which room they stayed in?"

On the street near the hotel, a man in a brown windbreaker asked a guy covered in metal.

War figurines, or mechanical men.

They are artificial alchemical robots secretly developed by the Dragonmark Family and the Artificers during the Final War.

At first, they could only act according to the orders of the controller, but with the sudden inspiration of a genius, they gained wisdom.

After the Last War, the countries of Khorvaire recognized this new race, but prohibited all organizations from continuing to create these special individuals that relied on alchemical potions and mechanical structures to operate.

After looking up and down at the man in the windbreaker in front of him, the war terracotta nodded and used his facial mechanism to make an expression that was probably a "smile".

"Those two people live in Room 603. They should be asleep by now. Your chance will be tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, the War Terracotta Warrior took out a photo that was taken from an unknown place.

The people in the photo are Carl and Hope. Judging from the scenery in the photo, it should have been taken when they just came out of the police station.

Picking up the photo, the man in the windbreaker observed it himself, and then his appearance and figure suddenly began to change rapidly.

In a short while, he had completely transformed into Carl's body shape and appearance.

However, after the transformation was completed, the man frowned and changed back again.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his companion return to his previous state, the War Terracotta thought something had happened to him.

But the man in the windbreaker said, "According to the intelligence, this boy is the holder of the dragon mark. I can only change his appearance, but I cannot replicate the dragon mark."

After saying that, the windbreaker man's body began to change again, but this time, she turned into Hope.

"But we need the boy to give false testimony. Becoming his companion won't help. The Inquisition will not accept the testimony of a tiefling."

"Yes, of course the Inquisition won't, but we can get the boy to help us voluntarily, like, this?"

"Tsk, are you sure this won't cause any trouble? That boy is obviously having an affair with his tiefling companion. I think your behavior might anger him."

"Whether it works or not, we have to try it to know. Do you have any other solutions now?"

Changing back to their previous appearance, the two hid in the shadows and continued their discussion.

…

"Ha~ I slept so well. I haven't slept in a proper bed in a long time."

Waking up from his sleep, Carl stretched lazily with a look of satisfaction on his face.

After he learned those 0-level spells in the dream world last night, he woke up from the dream. When he woke up this morning, he felt completely refreshed.

Seeing that Hope was still sleeping, Carl took out his wand and synchronized with her.

"Attunement" is the basic condition for using many magic items. When the attunement is completed, a spiritual connection will be established between the person and the item.

It is because of this mechanism that certain magic items can automatically restore their energy.

Soon, Carl completed the synchronization with the magic wand.

A normal spellcaster can only attune to three items at a time, but an artificer has a certain advantage in this regard after increasing his level.

However, including this wand, there are already two magic items that are in tune with Carl, the other one is his power armor.

“Boom boom boom!”

Just as Karl got up, there was a knock on the door.

"Hmm? Is it time for dinner?"

Standing up from the bed, Carl walked quickly to the door. Just as he was about to open it, his psychic power sensed the negative emotions outside the door.

Carl stopped and was about to run back, but the person outside the door seemed to have noticed that Carl had discovered him, and actually launched an attack directly into the room through the door.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out and the wooden door was pierced.

But the killer misjudged Carl's position and the first shot missed.

[Blade Protection]

Carl cast a 0-level protective spell on himself with his wand, then jumped towards the bathroom away from Hope.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot was heard. This time the killer aimed directly at the door lock and then kicked the door open.

However, just as he raised his gun to aim, a two-meter-high power armor fist and a chainsaw came towards him.

“Buzz——”

The sound of the electric saw turning was chilling, and the high-frequency vibration of the Thunder Fist created white mist in the air.

Being attacked from both sides like this is almost a sure death.

However, the killer reacted immediately and fled out the door quickly.

"It's the Warrior's Level 2 feature [Move Like Tide]. That guy is a Warrior!"

Carl and Hope's attacks failed. After reminding Hope, Carl immediately activated his [Action Tide] feature.

In an instant, Carl was like David in "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker" who activated the Swanstein device, and his mind and body suddenly entered acceleration mode.
