I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

Chapter 560: Chapter 309: Prize Selection_3

First, it can absorb energy at night and store it.

The physical protection it offers might not be much used since Gauss masters protective magic in most cases, but an extra layer of strong protection is always better.

No adventurer has ever complained about having too many means of defense; the robe restricts a professional’s actions far less than armor does.

Moreover, it can provide specific soul and mental defense, further expanding Gauss’s dimensions of protection.

In fact, the higher the power level, the greater the probability of involving the mental dimension.

The third effect is that Gauss need not worry about its repair if damaged, and the self-cleaning feature is quite good, always maintaining elegance and cleanliness.

The fourth effect is most important because, in addition to Gauss already mastering many methods to enhance spellcasting concentration, this magic robe can further strengthen it. Gauss could hardly imagine how terrifying his spellcasting concentration and anti-interference ability would become after wearing the Moonlight Robe.

Not to mention its other abilities, assisting thought work, enhancing intelligence and charm.

Intelligence is his primary attribute on which he relies most, as for charm, while it doesn’t match strength and physical strength, it’s still nice.

Having higher charm offers many conveniences in daily life, and he gradually feels that charm as an attribute doesn’t merely make one look better or possess a more graceful temperament; for a caster, it provides innumerable intangible assistance.

It seems to increase the affinity of both one’s own magic power and the magic of the environment.

Gauss looked at the Moonlight Robe, a satisfied smile on his face.

This robe quite matches his taste.

Initially, he thought getting two blue-quality magical items would be good enough.

Unexpectedly, there was such a purple item on the list.

Even though he was very satisfied with the Moonlight Robe, Gauss did not immediately make a decision.

Cautiously, he wielded his Magic Wand and used the Identification Technique to appraise all the magical items before him.

Indeed ...

Other than the Moonlight Robe, the rest were all blue-quality magical items.

However, the colors they revealed under the identification technique’s effect varied in depth.

”So, have you found a prize you like?”

”The first reward I want is this robe.”

Gauss first confirmed the prize he didn’t need to think twice about.

He knew this robe appeared here most likely prepared for him specifically.

He happened to be a caster, not a warrior, and the best prize here was appropriately a robe for a caster.

In the world, there aren’t that many coincidences.

”Alright,” the middle-aged man nodded.

Gauss gazed at a pile of blue-quality magical items, lost in thought.

He had thought about it before coming; he’ll first choose a piece of equipment for himself, and the second magic item would best be something useful for the entire team.

So...

He looked around and finally settled his gaze on a magic item exuding a deep blue glow under the Identification Technique.

[Delicious Magic Pot]

Grade: Rare Magic Item (Blue)

Description: A portable pot that looks ordinary but contains unique magical luster. The pot body is made of a special alloy with excellent magic conductivity, and simple temperature control and flavor condensation runes are engraved on the bottom. You can use it to cook a wider variety of foods.

Basic Enchantment Effect One: Portable and Self-cleaning, the pot is lightweight and easy to carry, it also has basic self-cleaning capabilities and can clean ingredients for the user.

Basic Enchantment Effect Two: Efficient Cooking, it can heat food at a faster speed.

Basic Enchantment Effect Three: Unique Flavor, food cooked with this pot will have enhanced taste, becoming more delicious. Even if the cook’s skills are ordinary, it can help create dishes comparable to a professional chef’s product. If used by someone good at cooking, it can even make unimaginably delicious meals. Furthermore, eating the hot food cooked in this pot brings physical and mental pleasure, and can accelerate the natural recovery rate of energy like physical strength and magic power.

Compared to the other magical items, Gauss felt it was also a frequently used item suitable for travels.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are basic life needs, and for clothing, he has the Moonlight Robe, for housing there’s the folding house, transportation features Hephaestus, Chocobo, and a storage pouch to carry them.

What remains is the food aspect.

Regarding food, Gauss has never treated himself or his team poorly.

But constrained by the fact that he and his teammates are not professional chefs, even with rare ingredients, sometimes they can’t maximize its deliciousness, which is truly a pity.

But if he has this Magic Pot.

”Gulp—”

Gauss couldn’t help swallowing.

The quality of life while adventuring may take a qualitative leap, right?

Only by eating well can one have more energy to fight on the battlefield.

Moreover, the food it cooks not only tastes good but provides energy recovery buffs for some time after consumption.

”I choose this Magic Pot as my second item.”

Gauss finally made his decision.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a bit of pained expression.

Of course, since the prizes were on the list, he was mentally prepared for them to be chosen, and these items were unrelated to him, but considering their value, as the keeper of the treasury, he still felt a bit of pain.

In this set of prizes, besides the obviously unrivaled robe, in his opinion, the most expensive was this Magic Pot.

Even to some specific groups, the value of the Magic Pot might not be inferior to the robe, or even surpass it.

Though it’s a rare quality magic item, due to its uniqueness, its value actually exceeds the quality it shows under the Identification Technique.

The rarer the ingredients, the better the results when cooked with this pot.

After selecting the prizes and gaining permission, Gauss took his two prizes on the spot.

He put the Magic Pot into his Storage Pouch, and as for the Moonlight Robe, he wore it directly.

Upon wearing the robe, he clearly felt a cool energy circulating throughout his body, very comfortable.

Simultaneously, his brain felt as if wrapped in some kind of special liquid, becoming more active.

Gauss looked at the panel.

”Intelligence +1”

”Charm +2”

Other effects couldn’t be tested immediately, but the changes in attributes had already appeared distinctly.

”Intelligence: 15→16 (15)”

”Charm: 11→13 (11)”

Both attributes had increased.

The main attribute, intelligence, increased by 1 point, and charm, perhaps due to its relatively low base value, soared by 2 points.

The panel showed the real attribute values beyond his equipment bonuses.

Gauss lowered his head and surveyed his body.

This robe, worn on him, provided an indescribable comfort, he even felt reluctant to take it off.

In close observation, his skin seemed to emit a faint white glow, imparting a mysterious ethereal aura.

Of course, this glow wasn’t a real ”light,” in Gauss’s perception, it was a kind of mental-level external aura.

Near him, the other three were already a bit dazed.

Especially the female staff member who led Gauss inside, her face instantly turned completely red, almost at the point where blood was about to drip from her ears, her gaze gradually becoming hazy.
