Earth's Greatest Magus

When the next day arrived, Emery went out to the courtyard at the back of the inn to find two members of his pack training with each other. He decided to observe their spar.

Even though the weapons they wielded were very different – Yoro with the spear and Andrei with his sharp wings and talons, the two seemed to be on par to each other. Their spar was fierce as they went back and forth on offense and defense at a high tempo.

Seeing that their fight seemed to have been going on for a while yet there was still no clear winner, Emery went between them and said, "Train with me!!"

Even though the two of them were still no match for Emery when they worked together, it was still a good opportunity for him to practice his claw fighting technique and warm his body up for the day.

When their little spar was over, Andrei said something that made Emery bothered.

"Chief, I remember you are an excellent swordsman. Why don't you use a sword?"

The Winged Wolf's confusion was reasonable, as Emery himself had seen how he fought using a sword in the Magus Tournament video given by the Ouroboros. He was just so occupied and full with many things that he didn't have the time to relearn the weapon.

With that, Emery let the two of them continue their training as he decided to stroll the streets of Silvermane City by himself. Even though it had been several days since his arrival here, he had never really had the chance to take a deeper look at the city.

The huge city was the hub that connected the planet to the outside world – the Magus Universe. It was also one of its major allies, therefore it didn't take long for Emery to find the Magus Guild in this city.

The building towered above the other buildings in the downtown area, and acted as the representative branch of the Magus Alliance.

From the outside, Emery could see the place was packed with mostly non-half-blood magus. Amidst the crowd of people, those wearing the Magus Alliance Enforcer uniform stood out the most.

However, Emery had no interest in interacting with them at the moment. Not until he knew for certain how much risk he would be exposed to if he revealed his true identity.

Turning his gaze away from the conspicuous building, Emery continued on his stroll moving along the street as he made his way towards the craftsman district. Upon arriving, he first visited a known blacksmith's workshop where he tried to find one tier 5 sword. Unfortunately there wasn't one that felt really match with him, hence he decided to buy two of the most durable tier 4 swords for 100,000 spirit stones.

Afterward, he headed for the place he was most interested in – the Apothecary Center.

Since he found out he could tell the purpose of the pills he stole from the Ironcrest Magus just by smelling them, he knew he must have some skill in the field of apothecary.

When he looked at the assortment of materials he had gathered during the tasks he took on for the Wolf Guild: Fire Ant Nectar, Golden Silk Thread, and Glanthus Nivalis plant, he couldn't help but feel something within him calling to go visit the Apothecary Center in the city.

To his surprise, despite its massive size, there was only one Apothecary Center in Silvermane City and it was in a building no smaller than the building Wolf Guild used. However, upon arriving, Emery could see that the place was one of the most advanced-looking buildings in the city.

Seeing the magnificent building, Emery's interest was further piqued and he wasted no time in entering inside.

As soon as he walked through the building's main door, Emery was greeted with a large lounge that could only be described as pristine. Other than its simple but pleasing to the eye decor, the whole place looked a lot cleaner than most places in the city with a few half-blood staff wearing clean, sophisticated uniforms going about their business.

One of them noticed Emery's arrival and quickly approached him with a smile. Knowing his status as a magus, the man who looked to be of the Wolf bloodline descent greeted him politely.

"Welcome to Silvermane Apothecary Center, esteemed magus. How may I help you today?"

Pausing his observation, Emery looked at the man and said, "I came to sell some things and wished to look around for some of your products"

"Certainly, sir," the man said, nodding slightly. "Please follow me."

Emery found himself being taken to a place where he could take out the items he wanted to sell for appraisal. Since he had come prepared, he quickly brought out all the materials he had collected and gave them to the staff. The checking process didn't take long, only a minute for it to finally produce a number.

[Fire Ant Nectares - 8,500 spirit stones]

[Glanthus Nivalis - 11,000 spirit stones]

As for the Golden Silk Thread, even though it indeed had apothecary essence within, it was extremely abysmal to be used for apothecary. The material was much more valuable for other crafting fields, and so they refused and returned it to Emery.

As soon as he finished selling the materials, Emery asked to see their inventory and as a magus, Emery was allowed to do so. The man in uniform took him to a deeper section of the building where the inventory was, which was surprisingly, a dome filled with thousands of carefully organized plants.

"We have over five thousand plant species stored in this place. You can see them all on the list here."

The man gave Emery an electronic tablet, on which a long list of plant names could be seen. However, instead of accepting the tablet, Emery walked past the man and examined the plants one by one.

He was told not to touch them, and some of the plants were even kept behind glass panels.

But those did nothing as Emery still felt some sort of connection with all these plants. At first, it was only through smell, but before long, he could feel the energy from these plants flowing into him.

The staff was unexpectedly patient enough to follow Emery as he studied all the planets one by one, creating a connection with them.

After going through about a hundred plants, he was surprised to find that the next plant he was about to connect felt much different. Before he could wrap his head around the new sensation, a notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
