It's been a few more weeks. I've been steadily making the enchanting paper. Reading about enchanting. Going through my normal training and increasing my chi steadily. All the gnolls have a set of silk clothing. A set of leather armor and the beast riders are outfitted in some iron pieces. Even their mounts are armored. The dire wolves they ride have face protection and a metal claw on one of their front legs. 

I think dire wolf is the end of the growth path for most wolves, Sock might be different since he's a rare variant. Almost twenty percent bigger than normal dire wolves. He has been leading some of the beast rider squads on missions. Most of the gnolls know Pokodo now. She roams around the fortress. Healing any injuries that occur through everyday activities. None of the gnolls have evolved. I doubt they will anytime soon.

I went to school like normal, then headed to the enchanter's house. Someone should tell him to hang a sign or something. I head inside and yell. 

“Hello? I'm back!” 

I hear a loud crash as if someone just fell down...What is he doing every time I come in? I heal his broken ass again and ask a few questions. 

“Well, normally how long does it take to learn an enchant.” 

“It normally takes many attempts to learn it. Also you only learn one enchant from each tree and it's picked at random. To learn more you'd have to make an enchant from that enchanting line and destroy the piece. In order to learn the ring enchant and the armor enchant in the void storage tree. It took me several attempts. Everything after the first one the chances is cut in half.”

So that would explain the price of some of these pieces of gear. It goes without saying that the more enchants you know the more money you'd be able to make. I ask.

“Can I try something?” 

I try teaching him enchant tent greater void storage. It's been an hour. He's been doing other things while I talk to him trying to explain how to make it. He's ready to give up when he stops focusing mana into paper. Startled and confused he shouts.

“What!?” 

When he said that I already knew what it meant. The next few hours I teach him the rest of the void enchants. He's so filled with joy he's almost crying. We talk while I try and teach him.

“Do you know how long it would take me to learn these enchants without help?” 

I honestly have no idea because I learned all of mine instantly. 

“Just to learn the second enchant in this enchanting tree it took three years of making enchants and destroying the gear myself. How did you even learn this? You didn't even know how to learn them before we spoke weeks ago!” 

“I deconstructed that scroll I bought from you.” 

His eyes keep getting bigger and bigger with more surprise. 

“Wait a second. You know deconstructing, enchanting and tutoring. You also asked about synthesizing the enchanting scrolls.” 

“Yea I have more than 3 jobs. I think altogether I have over twenty jobs.”

“You're joking right? That's not funny youngster. You'll scare this old mans heart making things up.” 

Well the main question is how can I get him to teach me all his enchanting trees. 

“Can I get a scroll for each of the enchanting trees you know?” 

He looks at me. Eyes focusing harder than normal. Trying to pick up even the slightest detail signaling that I was lying.

“Are you serious about knowing more than twenty jobs?” 

I nod, he looks scared and surprised. 

“Well, I wont ask for all the details but I need payment from you. You need to teach me all the things you learn from these scrolls. If... If anyone finds out about your skill you might get kidnapped. Skilled enchanters are sought after for their war potential...Make sure you don't tell many people about your abilities.” 

His hands were visibly shaking when he was making the scrolls. I think he was afraid of me leaving after I learned everything. Losing this opportunity to learn so much all at once. Also how dangerous just being around me would be. 

I wait patiently for him to make them. It takes him around three hours. I look around his store in the meantime waiting. I view all of his rares. They are all good effects on each piece of gear. A lot of the gear doesn't have stats on it so it's only a rare in name, not a full rare. 

Still most gear can be enchanted this way. You wouldn't really have the gold it takes to fully enchant your gear to the full rare quality. The effects far outweigh the stats you can add. Having multiple rares split between single enchanted pieces of gear you could have three or four layers of enchants. 

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

I haven't seen a single person do that yet though. Besides the people I've made gear for. Maybe it's just no one has ever thought to do that. Doing it that way you might be able to wear like ten or fifteen layers of enchanted armor... You'd look like a ball though and probably wouldn't be able to move.

These were the enchants I learned. This is only scratching the surface of all the enchants I can learn. Not only are there some single effects not tied to a tree. I haven't learned all the enchanting trees yet. I thank this enchanter. With his help I can make far more enchants. As well as better enchants. I understand enchanting more because of him so I feel indebted. I'll definately help him learn the enchants for himself.
