Mana Crystals are a type of magic stone in this world. While they don't amplify magic or make wands, they are crucial for magic props and large-scale magic!
They are equivalent to spirit stones in the cultivation world.
Therefore, while not particularly rare, Rod acknowledged their A-rank importance.
However, the system would only reward this as a single collection. Multiple collections of the same item would not be rewarded.
Compared to personal strength improvement, Mana Crystals are more vital for Arcadia's overall development.
In a way, Mana Crystals could serve as a special product of Arcadia to anchor the country's currency, eliminating dependence on foreign currencies.
This would also solve potential inflation caused by mass replication of gold coins in the future.
However, Rod planned to leave these complicated matters for the omnipotent maid to handle later.
Rod was more excited about the system's reward.
Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal.
The source of Laxus Dreyar's power in Fairy Tail!
The user not only obtains ancient Dragon Slayer magic but their body will also evolve like a dragon, with a lifespan as long as the dragons, reaching ten thousand years!
Just the long lifespan alone was enough to excite Rod immensely!
Dragon Slayer wizards possess the ability to specifically target dragons, and they can also eat various other magics and combine them with their Dragon Slayer magic to produce new powers.
For example, Natsu Dragneel eating Laxus's lightning can unleash the attacks of the Thunder Flame Dragon!
Wizards in the Fairy Tail world are not like mages in Mushoku Tensei, who are fragile. After becoming a Dragon Slayer, they possess the strength and durability comparable to giant dragons!
This Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal came at the right time!
It perfectly addressed Rod's current weaknesses in body and mana capacity!
Moreover, in Mushoku Tensei, only earth, fire, water, and wind magic exist, with no separate system for lightning magic.
He would be the pioneer and creator of this field!
Rod smiled contentedly, turning to express his approval to the kanban-nna.
“Good, you’ve done well.”
The kanban-nna bowed deeply, overwhelmed with surprise.
Previously, she was constantly in fear and anxiety, but now Rod suddenly treated her with kindness.
She felt like she was about to cry with emotion.
His Majesty doesn't seem so scary after all... no, looking closely, His Majesty is both cute and handsome, and at such a young age, he possesses cunning far exceeding that of ordinary nobles!
How could there be such a perfect person in the world!
I now actually want to test His Majesty, I am truly doomed!
“H-huh... I-I will continue to work hard.”
Rod encouraged the kanban-nna a couple more times, then casually used the Zhao Dao to analyze the Mana Crystal.
He didn't take out the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal for now, but continued to focus on the magic enhancements the kanban-nna had brought.
The first magic enhancement was a cloak.
【Congratulations, host, on collecting C-rank magic enhancement item - Scorching Cloak!】
【Reward: Invisibility Cloak!】
The kanban-nna, with a slightly flushed face, explained to Rod.
“This is the Scorching Cloak. It can insulate heat, allowing the wearer to maintain a certain temperature. It's a rare piece of adventure equipment.”
“The usual selling price is three hundred gold coins, and in conflict zones or the cold northern continent, it can sometimes sell for over a thousand gold coins!”
Rod nodded slightly.
“Not bad.”
As for the system's reward, the Invisibility Cloak, it clearly has the ability to make the wearer invisible.
Rod planned to combine the materials of these two cloaks and incorporate them into the research and development of the new Valkyrie Armor.
Then it would be able to protect against cold and heat, and also have the ability to become invisible.
After analyzing the Scorching Cloak, Rod picked up a pair of gloves.
【Congratulations, host, on collecting C-rank magic enhancement item - Overpowering Gloves!】
【Reward: Skinning Gloves!】
The kanban-nna became increasingly relaxed in front of Rod, smiling as she continued to introduce.
“Overpowering Gloves can halve the impact received by the palm. They’ve always been very popular among the frontliners in adventure teams!”
Impact halved?
Well, that's a good piece of equipment for a tank.
However, the system's reward this time sparked even more interest in Rod.
From Doraemon, the god-level equipment with an outrageous concept, just by wearing it, you can instantly peel off the skin of anything!
It sounds like some kind of terrifying heretical skill.
However, in the original work, Nobita accidentally pressed it against a human, but it only peeled off their face makeup...
So the actual practicality of this equipment still needs to be tested later.
It might come in handy in unexpected situations.
The last magic enhancement in the box was a pair of glasses.
【Congratulations, host, on collecting A-rank magic enhancement item - Perception Glasses!】
【Reward: Magic Eye Kill!】
“Your Majesty, don't underestimate these glasses. They allow the wearer to develop sharp danger perception, enabling them to quickly judge the direction from which the enemy is approaching!”
Rod picked up the item resembling sunglasses and examined it closely for a moment.
This thing... can actually be ranked A-rank?
Wait a minute...
It looks a little like the thing that Shirouf was using when she was serving as a guardian mage in the palace in the original work.
Rod suddenly realized the truth.
Alright, it's yet another thing related to the key plot of the main storyline, no wonder it has such a high rating.
This thing is useless for him with six eyes, but it can also be incorporated into the new Valkyrie Armor.
As for the system's reward, Magic Eye Kill, it actually solved Rod's biggest problem right now.
Magic Eye Kill, created by Aozaki Aoko, a Seal Designation mage in the Nasuverse, can both suppress the user's uncontrolled Mystic Eyes and resist the activation of Mystic Eyes by outsiders.
By utilizing this item, which has been further enhanced by the system, Rod can slowly adjust and adapt to the Six Eyes, until he completely masters them!
