The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 699: Chapter 723: Thief’s Stone

Lancelot looked curiously at the Thief’s Stone that the Dwarf handed over. The gemstone in front of him was as big as a quail egg, with an inner glow like a liquid rainbow—it did indeed look very beautiful. However, his Spirit Perception did not sense any magic power fluctuations, and it hardly contained any of nature’s spiritual energy. It seemed indistinguishable from an ordinary gemstone.

“It’s called the Thief’s Stone?” he asked, looking up at the dwarf who wore a proud expression, “Why does it have that name? Is it related to the Wanderer profession?”

“Wanderer? No, no, no, it has nothing to do with them; this thing is used by those Mages,” Bruto shook his head repeatedly. “I’m not clear about its specific use; it should be some kind of spellcasting material… All I know is that a Thief’s Stone the size of a fingernail is worth five thousand Gold Coins, and it can be found in any vein.”

“The most important use of the Thief’s Stone is to cast the spell ‘gemstone leap,'” Tanya suddenly spoke up. “That is a Seventh Circle magic, a Spellcaster can attune to a Thief’s Stone through the spell, and as long as they are on the same plane as the Thief’s Stone, they can teleport to its vicinity with a preset trigger word. This is a very high-level teleportation effect; area-based dimensional barriers or anti-teleportation Arrays are ineffective against it. Direct countermeasures have to be set against the gemstone itself to prevent a Spellcaster from teleporting through the Thief’s Stone.”
