Compared to ordinary linen or wool cloaks, this leather cloak is slightly heavier. After putting it on, Jess paced back and forth in front of his house for two rounds. He really felt the thickness of the monster's skin.
However, from the outside, it doesn't have the rough feeling of ordinary animal leather clothing. At a glance, it is not much different from a normal cloth coat. The surface of the fire-scorched dragon's back sail is much smoother than expected.
At the connection between the cloak and the hood, and on the shoulder parts, it is quite sturdy. It seems to be sewn with outer shells.
The fire-scorched dragon is not a real dragon, but a giant fire lizard that lives in hot areas and even near lava.
When Larson just said that this clothes is made of fire-scorched dragon skin, he thought that this clothes might have a fishy smell. On the contrary, this clothes have been emitting a faint smoky fragrance. It should have been carefully processed.
Since it is worth as much as three gold coins, it must be worth every penny. Jess pinched his waist and felt that his worth was suddenly different.
Jess stood on the street for a while, puffed out his chest and looked at the passers-by coming and going, thinking that it would be great if someone who knows the goods recognizes him and shows off.
However, after standing for half an hour, no one looked this way.
Huh, it must be that people living near this canal have no knowledge.
But this is not bad. If everyone can see the value of this cloak, wouldn't it be that people are staring at it all the time and someone may steal it at any time?
Thinking of this, Jess tightened his overcoat a bit.
Speaking of which, Larson said that this overcoat has fire resistance and can also enhance the power of fire magic. I wonder if it is true?
Jess can't cast any fire-related magic now, but his teacher Marin is an expert in fire element magic. And the warlock's offensive magic also cannot do without fire. This piece of clothing can be said to be helpful for his future development.
However, Varian Wrynn chose this piece of clothing probably because of the burns on his hands.
Jess looked at the back of his hand. Although the mark burned by the burning sword guard is not very painful anymore, it is still very clear and it will hurt when touched.
It is very likely that a permanent scar will be left.
After having lunch, in the afternoon Jess plans to take the imp out of the city and find some animal to try the life drain spell.
From last night until now, his heart has been itching a lot. If he doesn't release it today, he will be suffocated.
He was absent-minded all morning. When he was in the orc language class, he was even reminded by Master Duchamp because of being distracted.
Although he knows that he will take the orc language exam in less than a month, and this is related to whether he can go on a business trip to Dalaran at public expense. It's just that the temptation of the improved life drain spell is too great. He has too many questions and speculations about this spell.
What form will the so-called "vitality" absorbed enter the body?
If I am injured, will absorbing life energy heal the wound? Will it have the same effect as a healing potion?
Speaking of which, Jess hasn't had a chance to make some healing potions, so he hasn't drunk any either. Maybe the effect of the life drain spell will give him some inspiration in this regard.
If I am completely healthy and nothing is wrong, will life energy make me healthier and stronger, or will it overflow and cause damage?
Of course, Saerno knows nothing about this because he is a demon and doesn't know how the terrifying magic of the Nathrezim works. Everything is waiting for him to develop.
So in the afternoon Jess took the imp, a package with two bottles of mana potions, Tallongore's long stick, dry food for a meal, Gargim's record of the spell, as well as his and the imp's summary and modification of the spell and set off.
However, when he arrived in Elwynn Forest, he realized an extremely serious problem.
Those fawns, hares, birds and so on run too fast.
Harmless small animals run away as soon as they see Jess from a distance, or even just smell his scent. And Jess can't find a way to kill them. After all, he wants to test magic on living ones.
What about those that don't run?
Jess hasn't encountered wolves, bears, wild boars and so on for the time being, and he doesn't want to encounter them either. He doesn't want to face a carnivorous animal and be in a hurry to read the spell while holding a note. When there is a hole in his neck and blood spurts out while being bitten, even if he has the power of the Nathrezim, he can't absorb it back, right?
So how to solve this problem?
He had thought about going to the slaughtered lambs to hire a brave person to practice magic. Now thinking about it, two silver coins can get a chance for a safe test, which is not bad.
But the biggest problem is that those who are tested there are all living people.
If it's a weakness curse, recklessness curse, or even a fear spell, it's fine.
But when it comes to things like life steal, pain curse, and even corrosion spells that may be learned in the future, he feels that he can't control the power well and can't predict the consequences. He really doesn't want to test on living people.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought that the Dark Iron dwarves use goats to test. Why doesn't he use sheep to test?
There are several farms near Goldshire that raise sheep. You can buy one to try the effect.
Jess followed the path beside the main road and went to a small farm south of Crystal Lake. He spent three silver coins and took away a little sheep.
He has really spent a lot for this test. In this way, the beating he received yesterday was in vain.
I hope this modification of the spell will be successful.
Jess walked southwest for a while, away from the farm. After making sure there was no one around, he tied the sheep to a tree and laid out the spell, casting conditions and so on.
Saerno jumped out of the bag and hopped around excitedly to watch the fun.
Jess looked at the sheep and then at the tree next to it.
This tree, isn't it also a life? Is there life force flowing in its trunk?
What is the effect of casting life drain on it?
Jess decided that he'd better not think about these stupid things. If an ordinary tree can also be a perfect casting target, people like Gargim would probably have come to the forest to hold a meeting long ago.
Since the sheep has been bought, let it play its value.
Eraman, Xilliondor!
Jess uttered the spell and pointed his finger at the sheep. He felt a strong pulling sensation gripping his heart. And it was the power of shadow that gathered in response to the call that was pulling him. However, the spell didn't have the expected effect. It was just that this sudden feeling ended.
But the sheep has been scared.
It struggled convulsively, gnawed at the rope and tried to escape, making a miserable cry at the same time. It didn't sound like a sheep's cry at all. Instead, it sounded like a crazy woman.
"Power of shadow! Power of shadow!" The imp shouted excitedly as if watching the fun.
