Chapter 109: Rapid Progress
Chapter 110: Rapid Progress
After the Dark Element Shield is upgraded to the Grandmaster level, Richard plans to fully upgrade his Rodrigo Meditation Method.
Previously, it was mainly because of insufficient energy points. Even if Richard invested all his energy points in the extremely difficult Rodrigo Meditation Method, he could not guarantee that it would be promoted to the next level. Now, he has more than 10,000 energy points in his hand, so he can give it a try.
Secondly, in this strange place, Richard does not know when he can return to the Ignis School. If he stays for a long time, the necessity of improving the level of control of the meditation method will be greatly increased, which can be said to be ranked first.
Over time, high-level meditation methods will bring great benefits to Richard.
Pulling his thoughts back, Richard immediately decided to start upgrading the Dark Element Shield now.
[Discovering that the host is performing the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield, yes/no to consume energy and obtain inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield? 】
This time, looking at the value of 17130 on the far right of the slider, Richard thought for a moment, chose to drag the slider directly to 3130, and chose "Yes!"
Instantly, Richard's soul left his body and came to the dream, and the scene in this dream was still in an open grassland, with three phantoms of the Wind Wolf staring at him dozens of meters away.
Good guy, the highest difficulty started right at the beginning! Fortunately, I already have experience in dealing with three.
But before Richard could breathe a sigh of relief, the next second, the phantoms of the Wind Wolf changed from three to five.
Damn! The number can actually jump and increase.
Soon, Richard, dressed in rags, was sweating profusely on the grassland while trying to cast the dark element shield, and his whole body was covered with scars.
With the blessing of a large amount of inspiration, he has grasped some key.
Finally, a boundary was broken by himself all at once, just like the sun rising in the morning, shining brightly as soon as it came out, sweeping away the heavy fog and making the world in front of him clear!
Richard found that the dark element shield with syllables compressed to the extreme, now he only needs to recite a mixed syllable to release it, only 1/5 second, compared with the original one second, the improvement is so great that he is a little unbelievable.
And Richard now found that he seemed to have touched the essence of the dark element shield, such as why the architecture of its witchcraft model is built in this way, and why these five witchcraft runes.
He even began to compare the differences between the dark element shield and the bone armor witchcraft runes, and began to consider the possibility of learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, but he had a vague feeling that, first, he had to learn the bone armor thoroughly, and second, his knowledge reserve was still far from enough.
Richard had a hunch that if he knew more defensive zero-level witchcraft, the energy points consumed in the above process would be reduced exponentially. On the contrary, if he only knew a few zero-level witchcraft, the above process would consume a huge amount of energy points.
After a while, the soul returned to the body.
Richard immediately called up the panel and checked it.
Dark Element Shield (Grandmaster 95%, special effect: rapid casting, thick and thin conversion)
[Rapid casting: It only takes 1/5 second to cast the dark element shield. 】
The dark element shield had this special effect, which was beyond Richard's expectation, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.
Because recalling the use of the dark element shield, Richard actually hoped that the casting speed of this zero-level witchcraft could be as fast as possible and the defense power could be as high as possible. So the dream or the inspiration panel also constantly gave him inspiration in these two aspects.
So now Richard's dark element shield will have these two special effects.
Seeing that there were still 14,000 energy points, Richard decided to strike while the iron was hot and use them directly to improve Rodrigo's Meditation.
Rodrigue's Meditation (Mastery 11%, Special Effect: Primary Energy-saving Spellcasting, Secret Technique: Secondary Mental Shock)
[Discover that the host is practicing Rodrigo's Meditation, yes/no to consume energy and get inspiration to practice Rodrigo's Meditation? ]
This time, Richard thought about it and decided to do something big. He immediately dragged the slider to 10,000 and chose "Yes!"
Instantly, Richard's soul wandered in a dream. This time, the dream was in the center of a spacious hall. Richard possessed a bald man sitting cross-legged and began to meditate.
With the blessing of the state of inspiration, Richard tried repeatedly to increase the proportion of his mental power participating in all seven rune cycles!
After thousands of attempts, Richard finally increased his mental power participating in the cycle from the original 31% to 32%, 33% and gradually to about 91% before stopping.
The pure spiritual power in the center also became extremely condensed and thick because of this process. Richard had a feeling that if his total spiritual power was not too small, the power of this extremely pure spiritual power would be close to the power of the first-level witchcraft spiritual shock.
After a while of spinning, Richard returned to his body!
Rodrigue Meditation Method (Master 91%, Special Effect: Intermediate Energy-saving Spellcasting, Secret Technique: Secondary Spiritual Shock)
[Intermediate Energy-saving Spellcasting: Reduce the spiritual power consumed when casting any witchcraft by 20%. ]
After running the master-level Rodrigo Meditation Method, the feeling of rapid improvement returned.
[Attributes]: Strength 4.6, Agility 4.8, Constitution 4.5, Spirit 13.7
The mental power increased by 0.2 at once, and other attributes also increased slightly!
Looking at the remaining 4000 energy points, Richard thought about it and had a preliminary plan, but he was not in a hurry. He planned to rest for a night and talk about it tomorrow.
The next day, when Richard woke up naturally, he found that the sky outside the cave was still extremely dark, but he was sure that if calculated according to the time on the surface, it should be daytime now.
Richard strode out of the cave, and then he found that it was indeed daytime outside, but this kind of daytime in the dark area was about five or six o'clock on the surface, dim and dim, and visibility was only tens of meters.
The night in the dark area is darker than the surface. I remember that last night, even though there were various luminous plants and insects, there was also a star-like light above my head, but it was still much darker than the night on the surface.
Richard looked around with all his eyesight and found that the area he was in was lush with vegetation, similar to a rainforest.
But he had never seen most of the plants before. He only knew a few ferns, such as the tree also tree and the staghorn fern.
Moreover, there were many small animals and wild beasts here. Although Richard did not bring much food, he thought that hunting should not be a problem in terms of food.
The most important problem now was how to go back.
Richard concentrated on thinking, and after a while, he basically had an idea.
Preliminary analysis showed that there were two ways. One was to return by the original route, that is, to go back through the teleportation array in the fishman tribe.
But the problem was to solve the problem of high-level magic stones. Presumably, there must be intermediate magic stones in the fishman tribe, but it was not certain for high-level magic stones. However, now that there was the soul-eating spider, this would be clear after a little investigation.
The second way was to walk back. At present, the three major wizard schools and the night elves were fighting fiercely.
Obviously, this Murloc tribe is under the jurisdiction of the Night Elves, but this time the three major wizard schools have counterattacked into the Night Elves' lair. Presumably, the distance between the two places should not be too far, but the risk is extremely high. In the place where the wizards fight, playing battlefield crossing is a life-threatening thing!
Therefore, if you can return through the teleportation array, it is undoubtedly the first choice.
After making up his mind, Richard began to hunt, intending to get some food and drink, to nourish his physical strength and spirit, and find an opportunity later to explore the Murloc tribe camp.
"Puff!" A thing similar to a golden pheasant flapped its wings and flew out.
In the fern bushes near the cave, a monster with naked muscles, no skin and no head was driving a lot of animals to the direction of Richard.
Because he was worried that some monsters would suddenly appear, Richard carefully arranged three skeletons to guard him during this hunting, while he held a bow and arrow and aimed at the front.
Suddenly, an animal with yellow and black stripes that looked like a deer jumped out, followed by unknown animals such as wild boars and pheasants, which ran out from the bushes. This chaotic scene was caused by the brain-eating monster possessed by the soul-eating spider, which was driving them from behind.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Richard fired several arrows and immediately reaped a lot of rewards. Many snakes, mice, deer and insects were nailed to the ground by the sharp arrows and kept struggling.
Giant insects? Throw them away, don't eat them, too disgusting.
Snakes? Throw them away, don't eat them, afraid they are poisonous.
In the end, Richard chose the animal he named the striped deer, began to peel and remove the internal organs, and took out salt and powdered things similar to cumin and chili from his bag for use.
He planned to eat deer chops, and after cutting off the ribs in the abdomen, he prepared to roast them.
For Richard, starting a fire was as easy as taking something out of a bag.
Although Richard's affinity for fire element is only low, with his current mental strength, he has already been able to gather fire element and ignite it simply.
So, Richard's palms were seen waving back and forth on several pieces of fat deer steaks, and he sprinkled seasonings and salt several times, and an attractive aroma came to his nose.
This is Richard's homemade, seven-point roasted deer steak.
A bite, juicy and tender, the unique freshness of meat, filled Richard's mouth.
"Not bad! This tastes amazing, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time!" Richard muttered to himself while eating heartily.
Yes, it has been several months since I last ate on the second floor of the school!
I don't know if it's Richard's illusion. Although this is the dark area, a completely unfamiliar environment, I feel very comfortable, including the number of free dark element particles in the air, which is a little more than the surface.
Richard made a preliminary calculation and found that the shadow magic here seemed to be more powerful than on the surface, with an increase of about 10%.
In this way, Richard seemed to understand why the three major schools of undead wizards were not afraid of the underground races. After all, the Underdark was like their home ground.
