Chapter 175 Retreat, [Living Steel]
Ronan gave it a try. In this environment, and with the "Shibierte's Orb of All Things", several of them realized the spells of the extraordinary realm, master level The rate of proficiency growth is about three to five times faster than the normal state.
After master-level proficiency reaches 500 points, it becomes more and more difficult to improve. There are so many spells that Ronan has mastered, and when averaged over each spell, it becomes even slower.
The efficiency is increased three to five times, which saves a lot of time.
“The power of the spells corresponding to the elemental system cast here is more powerful than many outside. The speed of [penance training] can also be increased a lot.”
Ronan was able to survive the confrontation with the remaining will of the "ancient frost hydra Hekartor" without any danger, all because of his powerful will far beyond that of wizards of the same level.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would not be able to insist on asking Benigo for help, and he would have been swallowed up by erosion.
This will was tempered by Ronan through countless painful hardships. It is super steel and is stronger than iron. However, it is not enough to fight against the overlord consciousness from ancient times. [Ascetic Exercise] is still Luo Nan's will. The next most important thing to practice is Nan.
After experiencing the battle of the Ancient Witch Resurrection Society in the Goblin Plains, Ronan felt that his efficiency in increasing his mental power through meditation seemed to have improved a little.
This improvement is very small, almost unnoticeable if you don’t experience it carefully, but it is indeed an improvement.
"It should be that the constant battle of spells and the collision of spells have removed some of the impurities in my soul."
Ronan guessed.
Facts have proved that the path of the ancient war wizard is indeed effective. A wizard with ordinary qualifications like him should take the initiative to seek competition and temper himself in constant battles, so as to have a chance to reach the level with other people. The level of wizard genius is on par with, or even surpassing.
Walk out of the ice inheritance space and return to the warm and quiet small room.
The aroma of food penetrated Ronan's nose. He looked up and found an extra piece of food on the long table in the center of the room.
——A few pies, half a golden roast goose, and a bowl of thick soup made with cabbage leaves, mushrooms and chopped onions. There seemed to be other sauces added to it, and it smelled faintly of egg yolk.
Has anyone been in the room when he entered the inheritance mark space?
Ronan's eyes flashed, and he saw a black writing board as big as two palms next to the food. There was Juanxiu's handwriting on it: If you have any needs in life, write them on the board. , someone will naturally make arrangements for him.
“It seems like they really don’t want to let me go out in the short term.”
Ronan sat down at the long table and calmly picked up the silver tableware on the table and put the food one by one. After tasting it, I silently wrote down my evaluation of the food and the recipes I expected for the next meal on the black writing board.
He slowly tore into the crispy and oily roasted goose leg, and glanced at the surrounding bookshelves. A blue-covered book, half a finger thick, automatically detached from the bookshelf and flew in front of him. "Crash!" Turn the page and open it.
This book without a cover only records one spell rune and does not contain any other content.
Ronan flipped through the books one by one and realized that most of the books on the bookshelf here were runic books.
This surprised him and doubted whether this was the inheritance place of the core knowledge of the Ring of Law.
Rune is the condensed talent of wizard and the crystallization of wisdom. Any rune that exists in the world is a treasure. If Ronan wants to make achievements on the road of wizard in the future, he will inevitably end up in his own way. A step to create a rune.
The prerequisite for this step is to have enough rune knowledge reserves.
Did he come into contact with and collect few runes during his cultivation?
Quite a few.
Is that much?
In fact, there are not many, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the minimum standard of self-created runes.
The [Mirror Light] talisman is just his peeling off the core talisman of the "Orb of All Things" and the second-level mirror tool, and it is far from being "self-created".
Of course, it is too far for him, a small second-level wizard, to create his own runes and create a school of magic.
Let’s talk about the nearest high-level rare runes that Ronan has accumulated in his hands - the core runes of the Orb of All Things, the core runes of the Dawn Magic Artifact Space Stasis Cane, the Mirror Dagger and Silver The core rune of the comb tool, the [Cold Soul] rune.
Ronan has never stopped researching these runes, but the progress has been very slow. In the final analysis, it is because there is too little knowledge of runes. .
To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is like a primary school student picking up a college textbook. Even if you read the college textbook every day, you may not be able to figure out anything valuable in a few years.
Ronan had seen and studied too few runes, and his little foundation of general rune knowledge accumulated as a rune engraver could not support the analysis of high-level rare runes.
The rune knowledge now displayed on the bookshelf in this room is a rare and good opportunity for him to fill in the foundation.
"Even if the inheritance mark space is not open to me, it is an extremely rare opportunity for me to freely browse these runes."
A strange light shone in Ronan's eyes. While eating, he slowly flipped through the rune books on the bookshelf.
The magic ring has the advantage of the magic ring. The pursuit of "omnipotence" allows the magic ring to store a large number of runes of various elemental systems, including corresponding universal spells.
Ronan doesn't necessarily need to learn every one of them. Just by reading and understanding, his knowledge of magic is also growing rapidly.
Kirsty once said that after the third-level wizard, he will officially start to come into contact with the core inheritance of the magic circle. At that time, he will study several series, and specifically which series of spells he will learn... There are issues that need to be weighed and considered. Understanding these now can be considered as a way to prepare for a rainy day, and you can make preliminary plans for the future spell system in advance.
While Ronan was watching, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from above his head.
He looked up and saw a loud voice falling quickly from the darkness.
“Hey, Damien.”
I saw a colorful cockatoo with bright feathers circling in a beautiful trajectory, quickly landing on the tabletop of the long table, and then winked at him and said hello, "Are you still used to staying here?"
波Erbi.
Ronan was slightly surprised by the arrival of Bolby, the illusion parrot.
“Why are you here?”
“Let me see you.”
Bolby combed the feathers on his wings with his huge whorl-shaped beak, and replied to Ronan in a playful retroflex, "I'll bring you something by the way."
As he said that, Bolby raised his head He raised his paw, and a space ring on his paw flashed with light, and there were more than a dozen bottles and jars on the table between him and Ronan.
Polby opened his mouth and spit out a small piece of rune stone, pushing it in front of Ronan, "They are all potions that can help second-level wizards improve their mental power. There are also a few for third-level wizards...here are It’s a matching method. You use it first, and I’ll get you a new one when you’re done.”
Ronan’s eyes flickered, and he reached out and grabbed a translucent white crystal bottle on the table in front of him. , you can see dozens of black weird worms twisting their bodies inside.
These worms are covered with strange patterns. If you look closely, you will find that they look like human faces with emotions, anger, sorrow and joy written on them.
"The worm larvae. So many?"
The worm is a very precious potion material. A worm as long as a fingernail has wisdom that is no less than that of a normal person. This kind of magic medicine Insects are very useful for wizards to improve their spiritual power. Ronan once read about the Meditation Insects in a potions book and used his authority as the Sixth Ring to collect such resources, but to no avail.
I didn’t expect Bolby to bring him so much in one go.
“Did the Ring Master ask you to come?”
Ronan looked up at Bolby, who smiled, “Of course, who would do this to you except Kirsty? Heart.”
Bolby rushed to Ronan, glanced at the dinner plate in front of him, and then scrawled a bunch of weird dish names with his paws on the black writing board next to him.
“You must try these dishes when you are in the ascetic room, Damien!”
“They are all delicacies that you will never eat outside. Well, if you have spent the past two hundred years You won’t regret it if they don’t change the chef here.
Well, see you next time, Damien. I wish you a nice day!”
Polby blew a long blow. Whistle, then waved to Ronan, flapped his wings and flew upwards, disappearing into the darkness above his head in the blink of an eye.
"Is that the exit?"
Ronan stared at the direction Bolby left and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Quickly and calmly, he counted everything that Bolby left behind. Finally, he picked up the bottle containing the Meditation Worms and carefully poured out a black worm. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly Put it slowly into your mouth.
After chewing with his teeth, Ronan seemed to hear a woman's sharp cry, and then his mouth was filled with an extremely disgusting and greasy feeling.
As described in the book, the taste of wormwood is very bad when taken directly. It is best to wrap it in nectar and eat it together.
But this is also the most effective way to use it. In the process of chewing, Ronan could already feel that the Meditation Worm was exerting its magical effect, and the second mental power crystal in his mind was growing rapidly at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
“Click——”
When this rapidly growing feeling suddenly stopped, Ronan clicked on his character panel and saw the [Strength] column The progress of the second level wizard has reached 42% from 40%.
Just one Meditation Worm increased his mental progress by a full 2%, and he still has at least twenty in his hand!
"As expected of a magic potion material that is extremely precious even to a third-level wizard, these more than twenty worm larvae are probably Kirsty's private collection."
Ronan was slightly touched.
Before entering the "Ascetic Chamber", Kirsty kept expressing her disapproval of him. He will be promoted to the third level wizard in three years and will be eligible to participate in the Southern Wizard Genius Gathering, "Herams Wizards Seat" "The competition is not promising.
As a result, Bolby turned around and sent a large amount of precious resources to help him reach the third level.
This woman is as duplicitous as ever.
Ronan sighed a few words, put away the materials on the table, took out the tea set he brought with him, brewed himself a cup of black tea, and continued to read the rune books on the surrounding bookshelves.
He felt that he had begun to like the life here.
There is no need to think about anything. Food and resources will be delivered on time. All he has to do is practice step by step and acquire knowledge.
For most wizards who pursue stability, this place is simply paradise.
After drinking two cups of black tea, Ronan put down the talisman book in his hand, stood up, walked to the small gray door that represented the metal heritage mark space, opened it and walked in.
In the ascetic room where there is no distinction between day and night, time is like transparent gravel, passing silently between invisible fingers.
At first, Ronan tried to use an hourglass and a pocket watch to tell time every day, but he didn't know which day he forgot to check it. Later, he simply stopped paying attention to this matter.
There are only a few things left in his life -
Meditation, practicing spells in the inherited imprint space, practicing and exercising, and then the study of runes.
Luo Nan enjoyed the peace.
In fact, it had been a long time since he had such a plain and fulfilling day.
This kind of daily routine had accompanied him for a long time during his apprenticeship. On the contrary, after he was promoted to the first level wizard, he has been constantly on the run. It is rare to have this kind of complete settlement. When coming down.
“Crack——”
Under the sky covered with lead clouds, Ronan stood on a huge dark red strange rock and opened his right hand.
Groups of black metal jumped out from his fingers and landed on the ground, running as fast as living creatures. Some even grew wings and soared at extremely high speeds like birds.
These living metal substances spread around Ronan in an instant. At a certain moment, Ronan turned his palm.
All the moving metals immediately converged in one place, turning into a strange humanoid figure more than five meters tall, with three heads and six arms.
This strange humanoid figure had no facial features and only two black hole-like eyes on its three heads. Ronan raised his head and looked at it silently.
A faint consciousness was passed on, and soon, this weird humanoid began to run quickly along the vast metal land. During the running process, the shape of the human body continued to change, and many weapon-shaped things grew out of the body. Spikes, spikes shot out and exploded violently when they landed on the ground, leaving big craters one after another.
Ronan stared at the moving human form, and a light flashed slightly in his eyes.
In an instant, the running figure suddenly froze, as if it was frozen in an instant, and the whole person quickly turned into brilliant silver from top to bottom.
[Silverization] The talisman is activated.
The strange silvered human figure seemed to have a mysterious aura on it. It continued to step forward, but this time the figure mysteriously disappeared on the spot, and then suddenly appeared dozens of meters away.
After doing this several times, Ronan raised his hand.
“Bang!”
The entire strange humanoid shape exploded and turned into a stream of silver metal, flying towards Ronan's palm quickly.
"Incredible"
Ronan looked at the silver metal flowing between his five fingers like mercury. In the strong energy fluctuations belonging to the metal system, there was a trace of the mysterious atmosphere of the space system. , he could not help but murmur in a low voice.
[Activated Metal-Living Steel (Master 60/1600)]!
[Activated Metal] This first-level metal spell, after Ronan used it for so long, he finally reached master-level proficiency.
The effect of the extraordinary realm derived from it is peculiar. It can further "deeply activate" the separated metal, and even achieve an effect similar to that of a metal puppet - it has no self-awareness, but can execute some simple combat instructions issued by Ronan, and can also It can do some reconnaissance and detection things like a living creature.
In general, [Living Steel], the effect of this extraordinary domain is not particularly outstanding, but it greatly enriches Ronan's combat methods. The effect after possession is also very good, and it feels like wearing living armor. Feel.
But what really surprised Ronan was the optimization and transformation of the [Silver] sigil by the space energy seed in his mind.
[Silverization] The sigil underwent some wonderful transformations after being nourished by space energy. When he activated [Silverization], the metal spells he cast sometimes showed a slight similarity. The magical effect of space spells.
“This is not a simple space energy seed. It should also contain some inherited knowledge belonging to the space spells of the ancient Court of Mirrors. However, I do not have the corresponding means to actively receive and interpret it.”
Ronan looked at the space energy seed in his mind and once again felt how extraordinary it was. It was obvious that the gift left to him by the Dawn-level silver staff was far beyond his imagination.
If he was really a serious wizard of the Court of Mirrors, he might have learned some great space spell from this seed.
Unfortunately, he was not, so this gift was transferred to several of his soul sigils in the most superficial and crude form.
Whether it is the transformation of [Mirror Light] into [Multiple Mirror Light] or the wonderful changes in the [Silverized] sigil at the moment, it may only scratch the surface of the true value of this gift.
Ronan felt pity, but had no way to change anything. He could only watch a huge treasure passing by in front of him every second.
"I still have the core rune of the silver cane, a dawn-level magic weapon, in my hand. Combined with this rune, let's see if we can dig out the true value of this space energy seed."
"Even if I can't get it, What is the inheritance of space spells? Transforming the [Mirror Light] and [Silverization] sigils to be as powerful as possible can be regarded as a stop loss to a certain extent."
With Ronan's progress in ice spells As his attainments deepened, metal spells became increasingly useless to him, but if he could combine them with the mysteries of space spells, he might be able to transform himself and become a new trump card in Ronan's hand.
Ronan thought, slowly exiting the metal inheritance mark space.
However, this time as soon as he stepped out of the gray door, he suddenly discovered.
He had always been alone in the ascetic room, but today there was an extra person coming out.
A handsome and dazzling face, short golden hair like flowing gold threads, silver-white eyes as deep and quiet as a lake, powerful mental fluctuations belonging to a third-level wizard
Sitting quietly In front of the long table, he flipped through a rune book in his hand.
The moment Ronan came out, he happened to look towards him.
Orian.
Four-color metallic Orion.
Ronan's expression fluctuated slightly, his figure froze, and he stood in front of the small gray door and looked at Orion silently.
After a while, his eyes returned to calmness, and he walked naturally to the long table, and finally sat down on the seat directly opposite Orian.
As Kirsty said, Orion has high hopes from many people in the Circle of Magic.
Right now, there are eight inheritance mark spaces in this ascetic room, and only Orian has the right to use them.
Ronan is considered a latecomer, an "interloper".
However, there did not seem to be any dissatisfaction or hostility on Orian's face about "the territory being invaded". His attitude towards Ronan was quite friendly, and he even took the initiative to nod and say hello to Ronan.
“Long time no see, Ronan Damien.”
O’Ryan knocked on the table lightly, and several people quickly drilled out of the seemingly smooth mahogany long table without any gaps. The little man came with wings and was as transparent as smoke.
They crawled onto Orion's fingers, looking at him with a fawning and affectionate look on their faces.
Orian gently fiddled with a few little people with his fingers, and then calmly said to Ronan: "Would you like something to drink?"
