Age of Adepts

Ever since he embarked on the wizarding path, what has been tormenting Greem is the difficulty of advancing.

Before becoming a wizard, there was no necessary way to obtain resources, and all apprentice wizards could only rely on the little things leaked from the fingers of a formal wizard to strengthen themselves.

After becoming a wizard, the improvement effect of the past meditation on the wizard group is no longer as significant as before. In many cases, in order to improve themselves better and faster, wizards also have to leave the laboratory and run around in various wild ancient lands, ancient ruins, or some dangerous Jedi, seeking some necessary things at the cost of their lives. resource.

For them, staying in the safe wizard's tower, they may be able to survive until the end of their lives. However, the improvement of the main attribute of the profession is slow, and it will become a noose around their necks, tightening day after day, year after year.

If they can't advance to the next level before the end of their lives, what awaits them will be a withered body, exhausted mental power, and decayed soul. Compared with ordinary people, this process may last more than ten years, until their soul fluctuations completely dissipate.

This process of waiting to die is so long and so terrifying that most wizards who enter the period of life failure will become more evil, more crazy, and more unbelievable.

Although time seems to be ample for wizards, it is still like a terrible god of death who will visit you on time, using the blunt and slowest knife in the world to cut off all your connections with this world bit by bit, until the eternal darkness.

Therefore, do everything possible to collect resources and find ways to improve your professional attributes, which has become a never-fading main theme of the development of the wizard's life!

The elemental wizard route chosen by Greem is a difficult and dangerous road with spiritual power as the main attribute of the profession. Every bit of improvement in basic spiritual power is very meaningful to him. Because if any basic spiritual power is matched with suitable witchcraft ability and powerful witchcraft equipment, the resulting increase in combat power will be expanded tenfold or a hundredfold.

Therefore, the importance of basic mental power to Greem can be imagined!

But now, the data scanned by the chip tells him that there is a method to quickly improve his mental strength without meditating year after year. How big of an impact would this have on Greem...

Greem let the chip deeply scan the Soul Gathering Crystal at least three times, and each time he got the same conclusion, he completely believed the chip's test report.

As for the side effects mentioned at the end of the chip report, Greem didn't take them seriously.

This wasn't because Greem was too conceited or reckless, but because he knew very well the difficulty of improving his spiritual power.

Meditate year after year, but the mental power data remains unchanged; break into an extremely dangerous ruin to find resources suitable for you; serve a big family or a large organization for decades, just to get some The resources they monopolize...

Compared with these difficulties, a little bit of mental backlash or side effects is simply too easy!

Any wizard who is in the position of Greem will choose to strengthen the spirit without hesitation. As for the side effects, let's wait until the strength improves and then find a way to resolve it a little bit!

After all, stronger strength means greater power and more resources, and if you want to solve some small sequelae, are you afraid that there is no way?

Of course, the pure holy light stored in the soul-gathering crystal must wash away the remaining soul fragments of those paladins in advance. These things are equivalent to the impurities mixed in the light of faith. If not removed in advance, once Greem absorbs them into his own consciousness, it will bring terrible and serious consequences.

In fact, in the world of wizards, many wizards have developed the evil witchcraft of absorbing other people's spiritual power for their own use. But these witchcrafts, without exception, need to face a terrible disaster, which is spiritual backlash.

Just like clothes stitched together in different colors and materials, the surface looks intact and new, but once it is under great pressure, it may fall apart in an instant.

Therefore, these wizards also invented some special witchcraft, or special witchcraft, to suppress the backlash in their souls. However, the consequence of this is that they need to carefully control their mental state. Once their spirit is severely injured, they may be instantly dominated by the hidden subsidiary personality, causing a disorder of primary and secondary.

However, the absorption plan proposed by the chip to Greem is obviously unique, even a bit unimaginable.

According to the scanning and analysis of the chip, it can be found that the pure holy light that Greem encountered this time is obviously completely different from the souls of the dead collected by other wizards. It is more similar to an unowned 'free' power of belief, and it has the strange ability to dissolve all external energy and all external consciousness.

By storing them up, the remaining souls of the paladins contained in the holy light can be maintained for a long time with the holy light as the carrier. This is obviously not conducive to Greem's subsequent absorption.

Therefore, the chip proposed that Greem also separate part of his spiritual consciousness into the soul-gathering crystal, and rob them of the control of the holy light carrier. If the holy light in the soul-gathering crystal condenses into one body, Greem will undoubtedly seek death by doing so.

But now, the inside is a mess, and the souls of all the paladins have become incomplete. They only know that they instinctively cling to the holy light, and mourn day and night for their own tragic future.

Such a situation is obviously suitable for Greem to break through individually.

Greem's soul fragments only need to defeat them one by one and snatch the holy light they possess, and they will gradually grow stronger day by day. Wait until the split souls have completely devoured all the souls, gather their holy light together, and then choose to disintegrate themselves, so that the grown split souls become the nourishment for the fusion of holy light.

In this way, Greem will not have any sequelae if he chooses to integrate the Holy Light to strengthen his spirit!

As for the purification of Greem after absorbing a large amount of external spiritual energy, this is another issue. Anyway, with his power and financial resources, performing a spiritual purification ceremony regularly will not cause the family's financial collapse.

However, it is difficult to split a part of the soul in such a remote and rough place. It must be implemented after returning to the wizard world with the help of the alchemy laboratory in the wizard tower.

Just when Greem held the soul-gathering crystal in his hand and was thinking about the follow-up questions, the depths of his soul moved slightly, and he was attracted by a strange scene from afar.

This is a forest path 30 miles east of Greem's hiding place.

A transparent apprentice-level wind spirit floated above the woodland, slowly patrolling along a special trajectory. And at this moment, three figures of different heights suddenly approached from far to near on the path in the forest.

They were all wrapped in thick black traveler's cloaks, and even their faces were covered by low-hanging hoods, making it impossible to peek into their occupations and identities. It can only be distinguished from the vague body shape that the visitors are a man and two women, acting strangely.

The wind spirit that was left here by Greem to act as an ear immediately lowered its height silently, clinging to the canopy of the dense forest, quietly gathered a faint breeze, and blew towards the three of them from the front.

However, when the breeze was about to approach the visitor, the petite one behind the three of them suddenly raised his head, and stared coldly at Feng Ling with a pair of dazzling eyes that were as bright as morning stars. .

In the next second, the light and shadow flickered, and the wind spirit in the distance broke the soul connection with Greem.

Originally, these Fengling eyeliners spread out were all remotely controlled by chips. Their daily patrol routes and investigation and scanning tasks are all transferred to the chip and controlled by it. If there is no alarm, these daily tedious messages are almost all handled by the chip.

But now, the chip projects the scene discovered by an eyeliner in the distance into Greem's mind, which indicates that the situation it faces has gone beyond the scope of ordinary police situations, and Greem must handle it himself.

"Chip, can you confirm their identities? Are they paladins or wizards?" Greem asked in a deep voice.

To be honest, Greem would rather fight two Tier 3 natives than a Tier 3 wizard. After all, the witchcraft mastered by wizards is too complicated and too weird. In many cases, even if a wizard is more powerful than another wizard, he may lose his life due to some more insidious witchcraft.

The chip quickly projected the last captured scene before Feng Ling's death to Greem's eyes, and began to gradually zoom in.

The shadow of the hood, which was originally dim and fuzzy, gradually becomes clear as the light projection gets closer step by step.

This is a charming woman's face, delicate and beautiful, with delicate white and tender cheeks, rosy white skin soaked with vitality, even the fine hair on the skin looks so even and smooth, without any blemishes. However, what attracted Greem's attention was not her beauty, but her strange eyes that suddenly lit up, and the strange crystal embedded in her forehead.

Appreciating and appreciating such a beautiful face repeatedly, Greem felt strangely heavy and depressed.

Wizards... there is no doubt that they must be wizards from the wizarding world!

This also means that there are a few more enemies who broke into the Envik plane to strangle him. And the mastermind behind the scenes may be putting more hunters here!

The witch who showed signs must be a third-level witch. Judging from her appearance and the way her abilities work, she seems to be a psion, a special wizard profession that can use spiritual witchcraft.

But are the remaining two tier 3 or tier 4? If they are all Level 3, what are their personal abilities?

Greem, who had just reviewed his harvest and was a little complacent, was immediately disturbed by these sudden enemies.

Now that the enemy has begun to kill the eyeliner he has placed on the periphery, and looking at the direction they came from, it seems that they are coming from the city of Hakans. This also means that there must be a terrifying guy who is good at tracking among them.

It seems that we really need to fight them when necessary!

After thinking about it, Greem immediately started to pack up and prepare to run away...
