"What should we do?" Helena asked directly.
"Should we keep this a secret for now?" Rudick asked, his mind more focused.
Li Ang nodded: "I hope you can keep this a secret."
Although with his current strength, even if the information is leaked, it may not cause much trouble, it's always good to be cautious.
Helena and Rudik immediately became solemn and swore that they would never reveal a single detail of what had happened that day.
Li Ang extended his hand: "Then, hand over your wands and inner armor to me first."
Helena and Rudick immediately untied their wands from their waists and respectfully handed them over. Helena's wand was made of poplar wood, with a smooth shaft and gentle water elemental fluctuations.
Rudick's wand, on the other hand, was made of ash wood and radiated an aura of light.
Regarding the inner armor, Helena was too embarrassed to take it off in front of Li Ang, so she quickly went into an empty room next door, took it off there, and then handed it to Li Ang.
Ludick, on the other hand, was less particular; he simply took off his outer robe and inner armor in the living room.
With the four pieces of equipment in hand, Li Ang returned to his room on the second floor and closed the door.
He first focused his attention on the two wands, his mental energy resonating with the Power of the Flame, guiding the power of inheritance into the wands, optimizing their internal structure, enhancing their resonance efficiency with the elements, and expanding their energy channels.
Ultimately, Helena's [Poplarwood Wand] gained a 500% boost to water spells after being upgraded to LV50; while Rudik's [Waxwood Wand] gained a 500% boost to light spells.
Next were the two inner armors. After Li Ang upgraded them to LV50, the physical protection and energy resistance of the inner armors underwent a qualitative leap, and the protection capability was increased by a full 500%.
Having completed all this, Li Ang did not immediately return the equipment. He sat cross-legged and began meditating to recover his depleted mental energy.
On the morning of the fourth day, Li Ang returned the wand and inner armor to Helena and Rudick respectively. At the same time, he granted them permission to use these enhanced equipment through a mental connection. Of course, he could also revoke that permission at any time.
The two took their wands, and the moment their fingertips touched, an expression of extreme shock appeared on their faces.
As wizards who spend their days and nights with their wands, they know every single characteristic of their wands.
At this moment, the elemental affinity and the smoothness of energy flow emanating from the magic wand in their hands have undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before, with the improvement far exceeding their expectations!
They looked up at Li Ang with disbelief in their eyes, their lips trembling as they almost blurted out, "How did you do that?"
But the words caught in their throats, and they swallowed them back. They remembered what Li Ang had said earlier, that it was "impossible to explain in detail." In the end, their disbelief turned into the deepest gratitude.
"Thank you, Captain!" Helena bowed deeply, her voice filled with emotion.
"We—we will certainly make good use of this power and will never let you down!" Rudick solemnly promised, gripping his wand tightly.
Li Ang looked at them, his gaze gentle yet earnest: "I'm giving you these not so you can kill some powerful enemy, but so that you can better protect yourselves and survive in the upcoming operations. Don't die."
The simple words deeply moved Helena and Rudik, bringing tears to their eyes. They nodded vigorously, firmly engraving this concern and expectation in their hearts.
"Yes, Captain! We'll definitely come back alive!"
After the initial surprise and emotion, Helena and Rudik looked at each other, and they both saw longing in each other's eyes.
"Captain, we—want to give it a try!" Helena's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.
Li Ang nodded understandingly: "Go ahead, just try it out in the yard. It's good to get familiar with your wand as soon as possible."
He suddenly remembered something and added, "I'd like to check your current spellcasting status."
"yes!"
The two turned around almost simultaneously, quickly crossed the living room, ran down the stairs, and rushed into the spacious courtyard paved with stone slabs outside the workshop.
Morning light streamed through the protective barrier into the courtyard. Helena took a deep breath, stood still, and held her poplar wand in her hand. With a slight thought, she tried to channel her magic.
Immediately afterward, a flash of blue light appeared at the tip of the staff, and a [Water Bullet] spell was cast almost instantly. The casting speed was several times faster than before, and the water bullet that was formed was also larger than the previous water bullets. It was also incredibly solid. The water bullet whistled through the shield and shot into the distant sky. Even when the water bullet could no longer be seen, it did not dissipate.
Helena herself was startled; her previous water bullet spells were worlds apart from this one.
On the other side, Rudik was testing his light magic. He was originally best at support spells such as Heal and Holy Shield, but now he was trying to cast an offensive spell, Holy Light Impact.
"Drink!" Ludick uttered, pointing his wand forward.
A blazing white halo shot out from him, its brightness astonishing, illuminating half the courtyard. The purifying and scorching power contained within it caused the air to distort slightly.
After observing the two spellcasters, Li Ang astutely noticed their respective problems. In the following time, Li Ang stood under the porch, occasionally offering pointers.
The insights he gained when he arrived in the legendary realm, coupled with the accumulation of knowledge from reading numerous ancient magical texts in August's Library, gave him a far greater understanding of the essence of magic, the flow of energy, and the use of mental power than ordinary wizards.
His guidance was often incisive and to the point, giving Helena and Ludick a sudden sense of enlightenment.
Immersed in the joy of their rapid improvement, the two constantly adjusted and experimented, and their spellcasting speed visibly increased, while the stability and power of their spells also steadily improved.
Nelson and Rodney peered out the second-floor window, their eyes wide with amazement.
Around noon, after a simple lunch, Li Ang returned to the control panel. According to the empty map in the core, they had approached Thunderclap Town, the border between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Human Kingdom.
"Last time, it took me more than ten days to get here by regular airship," Ludick remarked, looking out the window.
"Yes, it only took four days this time, it's like a dream." Helena's tone was filled with disbelief; the speed of this floating workshop was truly astonishing.
Li Ang didn't say much. He slightly adjusted the direction of the workshop and headed towards the area of perpetual thunderstorms above the Thunder Mountains.
Thick, dark clouds, like an inky city wall, stretched out in front of us, with menacing electric lightning flashing from within and rumbling thunder rumbling from time to time.
