Chapter 194 Third-level Magician
The massacre continued into the night.
For Bone Dragon, the horse thieves running around are nothing more than a group of ants. Killing them is not challenging at all and can only be used as an after-dinner pastime.
Huh——
Gregory, the bone dragon, landed not far from Raven, looking at the man whom Margaret called his master.
As a dragon who once ruled the continent, Gregory considered himself to have extremely high aesthetic taste.
But even judging from his harsh eyes, Raven can be considered a handsome man, with a strong and well-proportioned figure, neither too bloated nor as slim as a woman.
Especially the black hair and the dark eyes reminded Gregory of the human form of the Black Dragon King Nessleon. Although the facial features were different, they carried a very similar majesty.
On another level, from the perspective of the undead creatures, Raven's energy is extremely abundant. Although it is only the second level, it is mixed with a power that makes Gregory feel a little strange.
"Master." Margaret walked behind Raven and bowed down: "According to your wishes, the five thousand horse thieves have killed more than two thousand, and the rest have scattered."
"I know." Raven nodded lightly and turned around: "Is this Gregory?"
"It's Lord Gregory, boy." Bone Dragon's voice was hollow with dissatisfaction. : "Don't think you..."
He choked before he finished speaking, because Raven already had three more bottles of rotten soul essence in his hand!
"Well, for the sake of your respect, Lord Gregory allows you to call my name." The bone dragon sniffed, and the flames in his eyes jumped: "Hurry and give it to me Me!"
"Of course." Raven placed three bottles of rotten soul essence on the ground, and a suction force came from the bone dragon's throat to swallow them.
Then, Raven's eyes fell on Margaret.
The witch who swallowed the body of the Soul Saint of the Order of the Hand of Death has been reborn. She wears a silver hair crown on her head, her hair is silky and smooth, and she has a cool and arrogant look between her eyebrows. There is another third of the charm born from the bones.
She was wearing a light blue silk robe, exposing her shoulders and arms. The silk was soft, and the drop showed her exquisite figure. Standing there, she looked like a carefully carved stone statue, poured into creation. All the passion and enthusiasm.
Facing Raven's gaze, Margaret's face flashed with pride, and then she lowered her head: "If you want, this hippogryph can continue to be by your side."
< br>Leaven knew what she meant, which was to transform Xiaobai into an undead creature.
"She has fulfilled her duty, let her soul rest in peace." Raven rejected Margaret's proposal: "Where is the Holy Emblem of Death?"
Margaret nodded, Take out the Holy Emblem.
It was a diamond-shaped emblem, as big as a silver plate, and could just be held in two hands.
Its texture is like bronze, engraved with dense and complex patterns, with a thin, old baby arm embossed in the center.
Leiwen used the Eye of Truth and saw that it contained the surging power of death, even mixed with a trace of golden light, and countless dead souls were howling and trying to break free from it.
Just observing, Raven felt a little tired. He rubbed his temples and asked: "How many souls are there in it?"
Margaret counted the treasures: "About 1.07 million, one of them There are about four hundred first-level souls, less than sixty second-level souls, and fourteen third-level souls.”
Lei Wen’s brows twitched slightly, this holy emblem actually collected so many souls.
No wonder people from the Order of the Hand of Death came.
"In this case, from today on, you can come back to the Eagle Territory with me."
Margaret's eyes lit up: "Yes, Master!"
For this period of time, she has been living in the open with the Bone Dragon. Although the Bone Dragon does not care about this thing, Margaret has a certain attitude towards life. The pursuit.
Accustomed to the luxury and comfort in Eagle Castle, living outside was simply a kind of torture, but Raven didn't speak, and she didn't dare to make a request.
Let her come back, Raven also has his own plan.
Margaret now has the third level of strength and is one of the most powerful people in the five northwest counties. If there is any emergency, Margaret can be an important help.
As for the bone dragon - anyway, Gregory has no desire for living flesh and blood. As long as he has the rotten soul essence in hand, he can always control it.
The matter here was settled for the time being. Before leaving, Raven asked Bone Dragon to help dig out a simple tomb and bury Xiaobai.
Of course, the real purpose of this trip, chasing the locust-headed wasp, Raven has not forgotten.
Although the bee swarm has been scattered, Raven can be sure that the nest is nearby.
With Xiaobai's help, it is impossible for the horse thieves to grasp Raven's specific movements. They chose to ambush here only because, as indigenous people, they are familiar with the habits of the locust-headed wasp and know that this is the place to return to the hive. The only way to go.
So with the help of Gregory, Raven quickly found the nest of these locust-headed wasps.
Originally, the Locust-Headed Wasp is a very troublesome second-level monster. It is extremely fast and difficult to intercept. It can penetrate heavy armor with just a sting, and its toxicity is amazing. Even if The second-level knight couldn't stand it for a few times.
But in front of the bone dragon, these little guys are more harmless than ordinary bees, so Raven easily got what he wanted - the golden fire slurry, which is the locust-headed wasp. Royal jelly.
They are contained in hexagonal honeycombs made of beeswax. They are deep red in color, but when flowing, they will glow like golden sand, hence the name.
It seems that this swarm of locust-headed wasps has taken root here for a long time. The liquid gold fire slurry stored in it fills an entire clay pot, which is nearly a liter, which is another considerable wealth.
Raven did not cut off the roots, but left some for the locust-headed wasps to pick again next year.
Congyun Kumquat is already growing, and now it has obtained the liquid gold fire slurry. The main ingredients for the magic potion have been basically collected, and all that is left is to slowly collect other ingredients.
In addition, Raven also thought about collecting some trophies, but he didn't get much. Steel Teeth's armor was so broken that it was worthless to repair, and Firebeard's was useful. Other than that, In addition, there are several first-level and second-level enchanted weapons.
As for the most valuable leader—Raven didn’t know Avilia’s name—Gregory had sprayed him down to nothing but residue.
With the help of Gregory, Raven and Margaret took advantage of the darkness to land not far outside Eagle Town and rushed back to Eagle Castle.
After all, a bone dragon is a bone dragon. When it soars high in the air, it will actually construct a barrier on its body to protect people from being directly blown by the strong wind. The riding experience is very good.
But Margaret started cursing after the bone dragon left: "This old dragon is really cheating. Why didn't I get this kind of treatment when I was riding!"
She was Every time I was blown away by the strong wind, even though I was very graceful, there was no warmth on the one hand, and no one was watching me on the other hand!
If Gregory could hear it, he would definitely answer: "Are you worthy?"
Back at Eagle Castle, Raven slept and had breakfast the next day. , returned to the bedroom, lit up the magic-soaked lemongrass, calmed down, and took out a magic core from his belt.
It is the fifth-level iron magic core obtained from the Martini family.
Leiwen is currently at the second-level four-star level, and is still some distance away from three-star level.
He originally planned to slow down a little. After all, breaking through the first level in one year is really shocking.
But now Raven doesn't want to wait any longer.
As usual, placing a brand new crystal bottle next to him, Raven took a deep breath and crushed the fifth-level magic core in his hand.
The manic steel energy swept across, and for a moment what Raven saw was a silver storm filling the entire room. The carpets were torn to pieces and turned into dust everywhere, and both tables, chairs and beds were all broken, as if countless Hundreds of steel knives are cutting!
And the rotten soul essence flowing out of it is as thick as a giant python!
The Eye of Truth quietly activated, and the giant python's body twisted in mid-air, and was finally grabbed and stuffed into a crystal bottle. At the same time, the violent energy in the air was introduced into the center of Raven's eyebrows!
Raiwen's normally calm magic pool rippled and began to rise.
Just like the surface of the river after a heavy rain.
Skyrocketing! Skyrocketing!
This situation may not be a good thing for most magicians. Even in reality, a surge in water volume will cause a dam to break, let alone a more sophisticated spiritual level?
But for Raven, this is not a problem.
The speed at which the Eye of Truth absorbs energy is firmly stuck, no more, no less, which is exactly the limit that Raven can bear. Soon, Raven's magic pool was full, and then came the most familiar part - stirring the magic power and condensing a new magic vortex!
Every time a new magic vortex is condensed, it is a huge challenge for the magician, because not only must the fluctuation of the magic power itself be paid attention to, but also the gravity of the previously condensed magic vortex must be taken into account.
It's like draining a bathtub filled with water. A huge whirlpool will appear on the water. From level 2 to level 3, the difficulty is equivalent to giving you a stick and letting you manually create it while draining the water. A similar vortex comes.
Strength, speed and precision are all indispensable!
So many magicians may be stuck at the second level throughout their lives. This is why, after reaching the third level, magicians can be qualified to build a mage tower.
The originally abundant water surface gradually sank, and Raven concentrated all his energy to adjust to the tremors of magic power, causing it to undergo qualitative changes little by little.
When the magic power condensed to a point, Raven's mental power lightly stabbed it, and then the magic power suddenly exploded.
That wonderful feeling came again, and Raven's vision was divided into two parts at the same time. One fell into the void world in meditation, and the other fell into his own magic pool.
A new nebula-like vortex explodes on two levels at the same time!
In the void world, two nebulae go up and down. The upper one moves clockwise, and the lower one stirs counterclockwise. A majestic suction force is generated in the gap, drawing more and more elemental star clusters over, and the Into the magic pool water.
But this is not the end yet.
Raven saw that between the two whirlpools, a portal was slowly opening.
That is the door to the star realm.
The star realm is the place where the gods and kingdoms are located, and it is also the habitat of many wonderful creatures. According to legend, it is the origin of all elements and the beginning of infinite planes. The so-called "first world" ".
Only at this stage can magicians have limited access to the star world and acquire endless knowledge. Some extremely talented magicians can even start to try to create their own magic at this stage.
For Raven, the most important thing at the moment is to summon and contract his magic pet!
His mental power penetrated into the star realm portal and sent out his own fluctuations. At this time, Raven did not have the ability to step into the star realm, but his voice was enough to attract the attention of the creatures in the star realm and attract their response. own inspiration.
If I want to use an analogy, it would be at the blind date corner. I would hold a big loudspeaker and describe my family starting from my name. What assets my family has, such as cars, houses, money, etc., etc., should be mentioned. clear.
But there is one difference, that is, lies cannot be tolerated in the Star Realm, and all the information you report must be true. Otherwise, if you deceive the residents of the Star Realm, the consequences will be miserable.
According to the records in the book "The Way of the Mage", when a mage sends a message, there will be three or five voices responding if there are more, and there will be one or two if there are less.
But this time, after Raven sent the message, there was no reply for five or six minutes.
"It can't be so miserable, right?" Raven frowned: "No one likes me!?"
But what Raven didn't know was that when his news spread on the other side of the star world, , dozens or hundreds of beings responded immediately.
However, these responses were not delivered, but were firmly blocked by several powerful beings, and they began to compete with each other!
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Raven was about to be unable to support the door, a thought passed through the door.
Whether it’s good or bad, that’s what it is!
Raven drafted the contents of the contract with his mental power, and both parties simultaneously left their soul marks on it.
This kind of contract is related to the soul. If either party breaks the contract, it will cause great damage to the soul and a substantial decline in strength. Even if you don't die, you will never be able to improve your strength in this life.
When the contract was completed, a bit of deep spiritual light passed through the portal and came to the nebula. Through the nebula, it sank into Raven's magic pool. It absorbed magic power and elements in the pool water to condense the body, and then came out again. , condensed into a shape at Raven's feet.
When he lowered his head and saw it, Raven was speechless.
This turned out to be a... sleek black cat?
"Ruthless mortal, I am not a cat!" The black cat stood up, flashed his green pupils, licked his paws and said, "You should call me Sir Xikreit!"
That voice was soft, and it was still a female cat.
Xikoret arched his back: "I told you it's not a cat!"
"Okay, Xicoret." Raven knelt down and scratched her Nodding his head, Xikoret immediately showed a satisfied expression and gave a big slap. Yawned: "Hmm... scumbag! Your skills are pretty good. How many little girls have you ruined?"
"Master Xikoret wants his own room, a fluffy blanket, and... Want to eat fish!”
"Okay, it will be all right." Grabbing the back of Xikoret's neck, Raven held her in his arms, stroking her soft and silky fur, with a delighted smile on his lips.
Level 3, this is what it feels like!
If Raven had to concentrate to feel the existence of magic elements in the past, now, he can feel the ups and downs of the elements around him all the time, and the range is enough to cover the entire Eagle Castle.
In other words, anyone who uses magic within this range cannot escape his senses, and no enchanted weapon can be hidden in front of him.
In a certain sense, the entire Eagle Castle is within his grasp and has become his domain!
This also means that the speed and power of his magic spells will be greatly improved.
Besides that, there is his familiar, Xikreit.
This is not just a familiar, but also his eyes and hands. From now on, he can cast spells through Xikorit!
And as a demon pet, Xikreit also has his own innate magic. Currently, there are three types of magic that Raven can perceive, namely the first-level "Silent" and the second-level "Cat's Magic". Lightness", and the third level of "invisibility"!
As Raven's rank increases, she can also awaken more powerful innate magic!
If we go back to the previous battle now, before his magic power is exhausted, Raven can play those horse thieves to death!
If there is any regret, it is that there is still a lot of energy escaping in the air, and Raven has just broken through the third level and has not yet stabilized and cannot absorb it.
Leaven shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Tsk, what a waste!"
Xikoret yawned: "If you are greedy, you will suffer."
"Lord Baron, are you okay?" Petty opened the door anxiously, then froze.
She saw that the bedroom had become a mess, as if it had just experienced a war, but Raven's body was spotless and incompatible with the entire environment, as if he had become otherworldly.
A third-level magician has two magic whirlpools, and the tide of elements rises and falls in his body, enough to wash away all dust.
In a few days, when Raven stabilizes at level three, he will be able to actively control this fluctuation.
"I'm fine. It's just a small mistake in the experiment." Raven smiled and said: "Tell someone to rearrange the room."
"Yes, Lord Baron."
Time passes gradually, and one month passes in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the rumor that Raven commanded the bone dragon to defeat the horse thieves was very popular and spread throughout the Nord province, but no one believed it.
Some people even suspected that this was news released by Raven on his own initiative in order to shock the surrounding nobles.
Only Raven's close friends, such as Patty and Old Gordon, can catch a clue from Xiaobai's disappearance and Raven's absence, but they are not sure.
Leaven himself has stabilized at the third-level level, the construction of the territory is in an orderly manner, and funds have begun to withdraw, but the finances of the territory are still not optimistic.
Gregory took the initiative to ask Raven to build him a palace!
This also made Lei Wen sigh with emotion: "The more money you make, the less money you have on your books!"
The good news is that the orphanage has finally completed the construction and is officially put into operation. In order to use it, Raven chose a day and decided to give a speech.
On the early morning of the speech, Raven knocked on the door of the church and personally invited Lux to bless the orphans.
