I’m not Goblin Slayer Chapter 037

Gauss didn’t have to wait too long.

Anderny returned to the hall with a pile of long staffs.

“Fortunately, I have a habit of keeping old things, so I haven’t lost them for so long.”

Anderny placed the long staffs on the table, put her hands on her hips, and said proudly.

Gauss looked down at her.

Although he knew that her age was probably enough to be his mother, or even his grandmother, considering her petite size, he still felt that she was more like a mature child.

“Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and try them.”

Anderny raised her hand and pushed Gauss’s waist, signaling him to try them quickly.

Gauss looked at the staff-like objects on the table and found that they were indeed different from the previous wooden staffs. This time, the types of base materials were more diverse.

White bone, stone staff, green vine, and several other wooden staffs.

“The several types of wood I tested for you just now are the most common and most suitable materials for making wands. The ones now are some relatively unpopular base materials.”

“The reason why they are unpopular is that it is difficult for the magic of most spellcasters to be compatible with them.”

“However, they can indeed respond to magic, so theoretically, although the probability is low, they still have suitable owners.”

“Matching a wand is a two-way process. People choose the wand, and the wand chooses the person. It cannot be forced.”

“Your magic seems very special. Perhaps these oddballs are suitable for you. Just pick one and try it first.”

Anderny was too lazy to introduce the specific types of wand base materials on the table.

Anyway, the test didn’t require knowing these things. After it was over, if there was a suitable one, it wouldn’t be too late for her to introduce it.

Gauss first picked up the green vine staff closest to his hand.

The slender green vine staff was less than thirty centimeters long, like the small pointer his teacher used in his previous life. However, unlike the impression of flexibility that vines usually give, this green vine staff was obviously specially hardened, and felt more like a branch when held.

Magic permeated it.

It was still the familiar feeling of repulsion, but compared to the most common wand materials just now, the feeling of resistance and repulsion seemed to be weakened.

Gauss controlled his magic to circulate in it, then put down the green vine staff.

“How is it?”

“A little better, but still a bit uncomfortable,” Gauss told her truthfully.

Next, he tried all the stone staffs and wooden staffs, and the results were mixed.

One light yellow wooden staff worked quite well for circulating magic, serving as a fallback.

So, a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

If the last white bone staff wasn’t particularly compatible, the result would already be determined.

He picked up the white bone wand.

In fact, although it was called white bone, which sounded eerie and chilling, the base material of this wand was very exquisite and smooth.

It was about forty centimeters long and two fingers wide.

There was a joint in the middle, and the relatively short part below it was ground into a handle. The bottom of the handle had a groove for subsequent processing, while the upper part was relatively slender and straight, gradually tapering into the staff body.

Calling it white bone, it looked more like a white jade art piece, even exuding a faint sense of sacred purity.

Gauss mumbled to himself.

Is this really a base material I can afford?

But since Anderny had taken it out, he would try it first.

He controlled his magic to slowly flow into the staff body.

The moment his magic touched the staff body, he felt a warm current surge out from within.

Gauss’s whole body trembled suddenly.

He suddenly felt a very comfortable sensation in his heart.

It was as if this section of white bone was originally an extension of his own body, feeling perfectly natural in his hand.

At the same time, the magic flowed extraordinarily smoothly within it, without the slightest obstruction. Every particle inside the staff body seemed to be helping him circulate his magic.

I want it!

Gauss’s heart pounded.

Even though he didn’t have much understanding or knowledge of wands, he knew he had encountered a base material that was extremely suitable for him.

“What kind of creature’s bone is this?” Gauss swallowed, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked Anderny.

Who knew Anderny just shook her head.

“I don’t know.”

“I picked this up many years ago during an adventure, in a cave. There was only this one section of bone. I saw that it responded to magic, so I collected it at the time.”

“Didn’t you use any appraisal spells, Senior?” Although Anderny’s contact with his Life Magic Stone was brief, she did activate some kind of spell, which he guessed was for appraisal.

And as a shop that traded magic items, it wasn’t strange for Anderny to master appraisal spells.

“I used an appraisal spell, but it only gave very superficial results. I couldn’t tell what creature it came from.”

“For so many years, I haven’t encountered a single spellcaster whose magic could be even slightly compatible with it. I thought it was a great treasure at first, but it turned out to be completely unsellable.”

“Senior, can I buy this?” Gauss was already reluctant to let go of the white bone base material he was holding.

“Huh?” Anderny suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had heard something incredible, her mouth agape like a goldfish.

“You mean, your magic can be compatible with this base material?”

“Don’t lie to me just because this staff looks good.”

Anderny took out this white bone staff simply because it was placed in the same pile as several others, so she just brought it out casually.

In fact, after so many years of testing, she had long given up on it. It had never shown the slightest compliance with any of the spellcasters who tested it.

“What spell do you master?”

“Mage Hand.”

“Then try casting with this white bone staff?”

Anderny was also a little curious at this moment.

For so many years, the price of this white bone staff had continuously dropped. By now, she didn’t even care how much it could sell for.

If this miraculous base material could truly find a compatible spellcaster owner, it would be a resolution to a long-standing concern of hers.

Gauss nodded.

This white bone staff was very compatible with him. Even though he had just picked it up, he was confident he could cast spells smoothly.

“Mage Hand!”

The moment the magic flowed into the white bone staff, the silky smooth experience returned.

It felt so comfortable! Gauss couldn’t help but exclaim subconsciously.

There’s no going back.

There’s truly no going back!

After experiencing the wonderful sensation brought by this white bone staff, Gauss felt that he probably could no longer tolerate the rough casting feel of ordinary bare-handed spellcasting.

A magic wave transmitted from the tip of the staff.

The surrounding magical energy instantly received the wave’s command and began to converge.

An invisible Mage Hand quickly condensed in the air before him.

The formation speed of the Mage Hand was extremely fast!

The time consumed was about half of the original.

Moreover, the movement speed of the Mage Hand, which Gauss controlled by waving the wand, was also about 20% faster than before.

“It’s… real!”

Even more excited than Gauss was Anderny, who confirmed that he had successfully cast a spell through the staff.

She excitedly walked forward quickly, her face full of excitement, and punched him hard twice in the waist and abdomen.

“Gauss, you’re definitely a weirdo!”
