Chapter 165 Promotion to the Second Level
With his back to Fiona, Raven did not answer her question, but carefully looked at the state of Old Gordon, frowning slightly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? "
Actually, when he came back, Old Gordon didn't come to greet him, which made Raven mutter in his heart. He also asked Petty related questions, but Petty also said that Old Gordon was not infected. Serious illness.
Yesterday’s cocktail party made Raven notice the state of old Gordon.
Although he managed to stay energetic and ate something, his complexion was not healthy, and he was a little wobbly when he walked, even with Fiona's support.
Old Gordon coughed and whispered in a hoarse voice: "...Baron, you have just obtained the viscounty. You have many things to do. I asked Fiona not to disturb you."
Now Old Gordon's complexion is sallow, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and he is weak when he speaks. He had to say this sentence three times just now.
Leaven patted Old Gordon's hand and signaled him to stop talking. He turned to Fiona and asked: "Have you checked with the pharmacist? I mean the guy who came back with me before. "Baby."
"Looked for it." Fiona's eyes flashed with gloom: "He said, my grandfather." I have spent too much energy over the years, and as I am old and frail, it is difficult for medicine to have much effect. Priest Lux said the same thing."
"Old and frail..." Raven frowned. Wrinkled, he slowly made up his mind: "In this case, I am not helpless."
"Fiona, go and wait at the door. You can't let anyone in without my permission!"
Although he hesitated a little, when she saw her grandfather's eyes, Fiona nodded vigorously and turned around to go out. .
Raven put his hand on his belt, and a magic core with a first-level life attribute appeared in his hand. He looked at Old Gordon, and he was actually not very sure: "Next, I will Use a unique magic that can improve your physique, but it may also make your body unable to bear the burden..."
"Do it, Baron Sir!" A smile appeared on Old Gordon's face: "Being able to welcome such an outstanding family head as you in my lifetime is all earned by me. Even if I die, I can hold my chest high and stand in the line of the family. In front of the ancestors!"
Lei Wen nodded solemnly: "Okay, then, close your eyes."
Raven is already familiar with using magic core to strengthen others, but this is the first time he has used this method to save people and extend their lives.
He was ready for everything, with silver spiritual light flowing from his eyes, and he gently crushed the magic core in his hand.
Emerald green life energy filled the air like mist. Raven quietly held the crystal bottle and introduced the purple-black rotten soul essence in the air. He took a deep breath and absorbed the life energy escaping in the air. Lead to old Gordon.
With this period of practice and meditation, Raven's mental strength has increased, and his grasp of life energy has become more accurate. It is not as rough as the previous enhanced warriors, but guides the energy into a big net. Wrap old Gordon's whole person in it.
"Ah..." Old Gordon groaned unconsciously. He felt as if he was soaked in a hot spring. His bones ached for a while, and then a chill rose from the inside out. After being forced out, the pain that was coiled between his chest and lungs slowly dissipated, allowing him to clearly feel his heartbeat.
There was a soreness in his eyes, and turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Immediately, a feeling of relaxation flowed into his eyes and into his brain, making him relax.
Old Gordon fell into a deep sleep.
Only more than half of the energy in the air was consumed. Raven looked at Old Gordon's condition through the Eyes of Truth. At this time, all the energy had dispersed into Old Gordon's body, without any retention or residue, but If he continued to infuse it, it would probably exceed the limit he could bear.
Leaven thought for a moment and changed the direction of guidance, directing the remaining life energy between his eyebrows and integrating it into his own magic power.
He felt a slight shock of his own magic power, and after it calmed down, he said: "Come in!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Fiona rushed through the door. The moment she saw old Gordon, she was immediately stunned.
Her eyes looked from top to bottom, and there were some tears in the corners of her eyes.
For this period of time, although she could not express herself in front of old Gordon, Fiona had been worried that one day her grandfather would fall asleep and never wake up again.
But now, old Gordon has not only regained his former appearance, but is even better than before. His face has become rosy, his breathing is very steady, there is a smile on his lips, and even the wrinkles on his face are much fewer.
Although she went out obediently before, Fiona had no idea that Raven could actually cure her grandfather. This was a thorny problem that even alchemists and priests could not solve!
"Lord Baron, your magic is simply a miracle!"
This sound woke up Old Gordon. He opened his eyes and sat up: "Fiona, help me go to the kitchen and order something to eat. , I’m hungry!”
After saying this, he saw that Raven was still there, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: “ Lord Baron, I..."
"As long as you have an appetite, you can live if you can eat!" Raven stood up with a smile: "Now that I'm fine, I won't stay any longer. You have a good rest."
With that said, Raven turned around and left. Old Gordon actually stood up and walked Raven out of the door with steady steps.
"Grandpa, are you really okay?" Fiona still couldn't believe her eyes.
“There will be no problem if Lord Baron takes action!” Old Gordon smiled broadly.
This is not only to praise Raven, but actually there is no need to praise the Baron in front of his granddaughter. At this moment, Old Gordon feels that he is full of energy and energy, and he can even see things more clearly. It is simply It's like I'm twenty years younger!
"Grandpa, I will help you go to the kitchen to order a meal." Fiona nodded with a smile and trotted towards the kitchen.
Fiona sighed in her heart.
The Baron is like a broad mountain range. He looks the same when you first meet him. The more you get to know him, the more amazing he is. And every time Fiona feels that she understands him better, she will find that he is There is also an even more mysterious fog covering the body.
Not only capable, but also humble and polite.
Baron Raven was only twenty-one years old. He had clearly cured her grandfather, but he had no intention of bragging.
If it were Master Vesdon who was only six years younger than him, he would definitely make such a noise that the whole world would know about it, and he might even make some unreasonable demands.
But the Baron obviously has the nickname of Little Bee, but he has never shown excessive demands on me, nor has he paid special attention to me. Could it be that... I am not beautiful enough?
It's not that Fiona isn't pretty enough, it's just that Raven isn't a pervert, and he wants one of them.
The most important reason is Raven himself. During this period of time, he has never stopped meditating and has been using magic core to strengthen his magic power.
Just absorbed the residual energy left to treat old Gordon, pushing his magic power to the edge of the first level.
Actually, Raven said that he was a magician, and he always felt a little guilty, because after this period of strengthening the magic core, his physical strength had reached the peak of a second-level knight, even if he was wrestling with Eric , as long as the opponent does not use grudges, it will be difficult to determine the outcome. Now, it's finally time for Raven's magic power to break through.
He walked back to his room with wind and startled Patty who was cleaning. The personal maid asked respectfully: "Baron, do you have any other instructions?"
See Raven smiled at her look.
They say women are made of water, and it’s true.
Since the last time the two played chess all night and smoothed their relationship, Petty has become more docile and obedient.
Lei Wen said: "Please inform me that all my schedules are cancelled. Don't let anyone disturb me."
Petty nodded and whispered: "Yes, Lord Baron."
After that, he turned and left, locking the door.
Leaven inhaled gently, took off his coat, and touched his hand on his belt. A cylindrical glass container with a height of about five centimeters and a diameter of about ten centimeters appeared. It contained pink It looks like a solid color, but if you look closely, you can see that it flows slowly like water.
This is the "Magic Lemongrass" sent by Archbishop Thomas. It is a second-level incense that can help magicians speed up their meditation efficiency by about 30%. If used for a long time, it can also subtly improve the user's elemental affinity. and.
Now this stick of devil-infused lemongrass has burned half way through.
A few syllables flowed out of his mouth, and a flame ignited on Raven's finger, igniting the magic-soaked lemongrass. Suddenly, a faint orchid-like aroma filled the room.
Putting the magic lemongrass on the bedside, Raven sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and slowly sank into the world of meditation, returning to the familiar depth again. Among the stars.
Against the pitch-black background, what you can see are dots of star clusters everywhere, with different colors, representing different types of elements. It is summer now, so the elements of fire and light are particularly active, and their numbers are also high. More.
Moving his invisible spiritual body in the void, Raven got close to a ball of light. Before he could think of it, the pink aura of enchanted lemongrass filled the air, pulling the ball of light towards him and melting it. Entered Raven's spiritual body.
The magic and spiritual power quietly grew stronger at this moment.
In this way, Raven wandered in the void of the meditation world, constantly absorbing elements one after another. I don't know how long it took, but the magic power in his body finally grew to a limit. If he tried to absorb more elements, he would be bounced away.
"It's time." Raven said softly.
He quit the meditation, but did not open his eyes. Instead, he activated the Eyes of Truth and examined himself from the inside out.
The knight's life seed is stored in the lower abdomen, which is the so-called "dantian", while the magician's magic power is stored in the brain, like a clear pool of water.
The mental power closely related to it is stored behind the eyebrows, which is why every time the mental power is used, the eyes will turn silver.
Now, the pool storing magic power is full, and the next thing to do is to purify it.
Taking a deep breath, the fragrance of lemongrass poured into his nostrils, making Raven's spirit clearer and clearer.
According to the records in the book, he cooperated with a mage's instinctive intuition about the path to advancement, and used his mental power as a stick to stir up the pool of magic power.
This action caused a slight dizziness, which was quickly soothed by the lemongrass-soaked feeling.
With the stirring of mental power, the water in the magic pool slowly began to boil, and the water level became lower and lower.
If you look outside at this time, you will see that Raven's face is flushed as if he has drunk too much.
When the water level drops to a limit and is about to reveal the bottom of the pool, changes occur.
Leiwen stopped stirring his mental power, but the remaining water in the pool did not calm down. Instead, it spontaneously began to rotate and turn, turning into a dark vortex!
Lei Wen's perspective was instantly divided into two parts, one condensed on the surface of the magic pool, and the other sunk into the meditation space.
In the meditation space, a vortex was born that was no different from the whirlpool in the pool, but the scale was larger. The surging suction generated attracted all the elemental light groups in the void, forming a slowly rotating bright ball. nebula!
At the same time, in the magic pool, the water began to rise slowly. The vortex was no longer absorbing, but was constantly spitting magic into the water, with a hint of mysterious power mixed in.
This power expanded the depth and width of the magic pool, and also caused Raven's mental power to begin to transform, becoming more solid and sharper!
The growth of magic power gradually stabilized.
If the original magic pool was just a puddle, now it has expanded into a fish pond.
At this moment, Raven is already a second-level magician!
The vortex in the magic power is always rotating, which is equivalent to the Dantian opened by the cultivators in the immortal novels. From then on, Raven's meditation efficiency and thinking efficiency were greatly improved.
Starting from the second level, every subsequent level up can open up a new magic vortex, which is to open a new Dantian.
This process is difficult and dangerous for most magicians, because when they make a breakthrough, they only know how to use mental power to stir up the magic power, and rely on instinct and sensitivity to magic power to judge the timing.
But the Eye of Truth allows Raven to clearly observe the change process of his own magic and mental power, allowing the breakthrough to proceed in an orderly manner, with every stir being stuck at the right time.
Without this ability, Raven would be like most mages when they first break through. It would take several, ten, or even dozens of attempts to succeed, and even cause the magic power to run rampant. , become a fool and an idiot.
Opening his eyes, Raven stood up and took out the magic scroll he had obtained on the Bloody Highlands.
During this period of time, Raven has also exchanged necromancy magic with Margaret, and learned some Danat techniques that are only used by the Church of the Hand of Death. However, he has not been promoted to the second level. , so I put this scroll aside for the time being.
With a flash of silver in his eyes, Raven searched the surface of the scroll with the Eyes of Truth. After breaking through the second level, his mental power improved again. Now many details that were originally invisible fell into his eyes. .
"So that's it..." A smile appeared on Raven's lips: "No wonder Savannah will appear in the Bloody Highlands."
He opened his mouth and chanted the incantation softly, On the scroll, gray-white rune pulses lit up, and a thick necromantic aura spread.
