Chapter 297 Great increase in strength
Chapter 297 Great increase in strength
Dode Magic Stone Mine, in a cave square in the middle and inner side.
After nearly half a month of hard work, under Ivan's meticulous operation, a large rune magic array with a black background and copper patterns slowly took shape. There were eight sub-array platforms at a distance around it.
It can be seen that there is an energy channel formed by interweaving rune lines between the sub-array platform and the main array.
"Boss, is it done?" Locke dared to move closer only after he came back to his senses from his thoughts.
"The array is endless, and there is still a lot of room for exploration." Ivan stretched his body, which had not moved for a long time, and turned his gaze back to the rune array: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Yeah." Locke nodded.
"Just tell me."
"Didn't you tell me to clean up that spiritual gathering point? I tried, but there's no way to eradicate the special force field there. It's very strange that the force field can be generated repeatedly."
Hearing his words, Ivan was stunned.
However, things related to spirits are always strange, and anything can happen.
"What's the reason? What can you think of?"
"I don't know. It feels to me like there is a spring underneath, which makes the force field continuous." Locke thought for a moment and answered.
"Okay, I understand." Ivan nodded slightly and said nothing more. It seemed that the only way was to seal and suppress it.
"Ah? Oh, then I'll go supervise them in mining." Seeing him lost in thought, Locke turned and ran away.
He knew Iven's habits very well. He didn't like being disturbed when he was thinking or researching. If someone made trouble for him, he would scold him at best, or even cheat him, leaving him in tears.
"Wait." Ivan suddenly called him and waved his hand. Black magic wind and fire beads flew out one by one. "Help me take these beads to the sub-array platform. One wind and fire bead corresponds to one array platform, located in the center."
"I promise to do it."
"Also, keep an eye on them for me. Don't let them get close, including yourself."
"no problem."
Locke hurriedly took away eight smaller wind and fire beads.
Ivan continued to study the rune lines in the light of the wall lamp. He was not in a hurry to improve his strength. If there were areas that could be improved but were not improved, he would always feel uncomfortable.
"Hoohoo."
The next moment, the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array in the square began to operate, and the rune lines on the side lit up. A trace of energy flowed along the rune lines and activated the surrounding sub-array platforms.
The main array and the sub-arrays emitted continuous black light, pulling the special aura within the magic stone mine together.
The wind makes fire.
The flames of the black devil surged, burning the air and causing it to distort continuously.
After a while, the devilish fire and wind fire subsided.
“There is indeed room for improvement.”
Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Under his adjustment, many details of the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array changed to a level that satisfied him.
Ivan circled around the Dodd Magic Stone Mine.
He talked with Piccolo and others outside for a while, watched Locke and others digging the magic stone, and checked whether there were any safety hazards around.
After returning to the square in the cave, he sat in the center of the rune magic formation.
Activate the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.
In an instant, the special aura that permeated the magic stone mine and was omnipresent was attracted and gathered in the main formation and sub-formations, transformed into energy, and finally gathered in the main rune formation.
The unique aura in the magic stone mine is difficult to utilize. It can only be used to breed magic stones. After being transformed and tempered many times by the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, it can be transformed into spiritual energy that has been tempered a thousand times.
Compared with the primary magic circle, the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, which is now an intermediate magic circle, has refined spiritual energy of a higher purity.
Surrounded by the dark magic, wind and fire, Ivan absorbed every bit of spiritual energy into his body, and through meditation, slowly transformed it into his own mental power, improving his strength bit by bit.
126.6 scale.
127.5 scale.
-
He has always maintained the necessary restraint, but his strength still continues to rise, giving him a wonderful sense of comfort.
Half a day passed by unknowingly. He suppressed the increasing temptation and forced himself to stop absorbing the energy around him.
142.9 scale.
The results are clearly displayed in the properties panel.
"It has increased by 16.3 scales. The Black Magic Wind and Fire Formation is indeed suitable for me."
Ivan checked himself immediately and found no potential health problems, so he couldn't help but secretly praise himself.
This is just the effect of one improvement. There will be a second, third, and even a fourth improvement later. By then, the improvement in strength will be considerable.
His vision changed, and the academic master panel appeared, and his attention fell on the two subjects of enchantment and runes.
"The experience points gained from reputation do have a limit."
He noticed that after reaching half of the experience points for level 10 of Enchanting, the experience points growth became slow, as if the experience points potential brought by this invention had been exhausted.
Perhaps new initiatives are needed.
He said he was already content with the situation.
"I can now undergo secondary elementalization." His mental power exceeded 140 scales, so he needed to improve his strength while using elemental crystals to undergo secondary elementalization. This was the third stage of training for a second-level wizard.
According to his own situation, the elemental crystals he needed were of medium quality, covering both plant and fire elements.
After he opened up the situation with the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, he easily exchanged a batch from the Enchanting Guild. He didn't even need to spend time and effort to collect them, which could be said to be the realization of resource freedom.
……
In the following days, Ivan focused more on exploring the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.
Time passes day by day.
That day, Locke walked out of the dim cave in the mine. He raised his hands to cover his forehead and looked at the scorching sun that he had not seen for many days. He felt as if he was in another world.
"Boss is really good at staying at home, what do you think, Queen Silkworm?"
"Ivan is always like this, it's good."
"I forgot, you are just like the eldest brother, you prefer quietness to movement, uh--it's OK."
Ivan ordered him to return to Dongdu first, and then Locke brought the Queen Silkworm out.
It has been more than four months since they left Dongdu. Xunmuta needs someone to go back and check on some things. For example, the Pantiegen is still thrown near the energy particle pool. If it is left for too long, something might go wrong.
Secondly, enough magic stones and associated ores have been mined, and there is no room to store them all, so someone needs to take them back.
"Hey, guys, thank you for your hard work."
"what do you mean?"
"It's just a token of my appreciation. I'll give you some relief. Take them all. It's just a token of my appreciation."
"Brother Locke, you are too polite."
Passing by the garrison, Locke chatted with the team members for a while. He claimed to be the cousin of Wizard Ivan, and looking at the similar face, he did not arouse any suspicion.
He also claimed this in Dongdu.
Before leaving, Locke gave Piccolo and the others tens of thousands of magic stones as a token of his appreciation, and Piccolo and the others did not refuse.
Wizards are human beings, so naturally they have their own human relationships and ways.
After digging for a period of time in such a large magic stone mine, Ivan found that the number of magic stones had been increasing, and the amount given to the Seventh Team was just a drop in the bucket.
……
Time flies. Locke, who went to Dongdu, has already returned to Dode Magic Stone Mine. He has been handling many trivial matters for Ivan and lives a plain and fulfilling life.
"Boss, what's up?"
The formation in the cave stopped working for a while before Locke approached cautiously.
Ivan casually dispersed the surrounding black magic wind and fire, allowing the remaining transformed mist to fall into the prepared medicine liquid and be sealed as material.
"Not bad, 163.3 marks."
Ivan replied that this was the third time he had improved his strength.
The second time, the mental power increased from 142.9 to 155.7, and now it has reached 163.3, and the rate of increase has obviously decreased.
Since the endurance of a level 2 wizard far exceeds that of a level 1 wizard, the overall improvement in strength is still considerable.
"Wow! If you try it two more times, you can reach the second level limit of 180 scales, and then be promoted to a third level wizard. Boss, your strength improvement speed is so amazing." Locke shouted in an exaggerated tone when he heard it.
"I can't come." Ivan shook his head slightly: "It has strong resistance. It's better to change to another method next time."
Every time his strength improved, he would immediately check himself. It might be that the improvement this time was too great, and his mental resistance was particularly obvious, resulting in a state similar to "burnout".
He estimated that he would need a long time to adjust.
In any case, the gains this time exceeded his original expectations.
In addition to strength, he has derived the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array into 27 rune bundles, and its power has increased slightly. During the entire derivation process, he did not use the light of wisdom at all.
"It will definitely not be difficult for you, unlike me, who has no clear ideas." Locke said enviously.
There is a phenomenon in the growth of biological strength: the more it leans towards spiritual power, the harder it is to improve its strength. He is undoubtedly a creature that leans towards the spiritual aspect, with a complex composition and no way forward. He has not yet found any efficient way to improve it.
However, spiritual creatures have another characteristic: their combat effectiveness cannot usually be simply summarized by their own strength level.
"Stop being so pretentious. Your strength is increasing day by day, and your speed is not much slower than that of the ants." Ivan rolled his eyes at him.
The swamp ants are at the top of level three. For the second level, such a speed can be called "insane".
It has to be said that the space-related abilities are indeed unique and distinctive, which makes people jealous.
"Hehe, I just want to be like you guys, improving my strength quickly, it would be so exciting." Locke laughed.
"Okay, let's pack up and go back to Dongdu." Ivan waved his hand and announced directly.
Locke's expression brightened up, and he hurried downstairs to tell the others that he had had enough of this shabby place.
Soon, after they had finished packing, the group left the Dodd Magic Stone Mine, leaving only a team of ant guards stationed in the mine to patrol the safety inside the Magic Stone Mine.
