Chapter 436: Breakthrough
Chapter 436: Breakthrough
There was not a single cloud in the night sky tonight, and the moon had disappeared, and the endless sky was only filled with countless bright stars, like countless magical gems set in the night, shining brightly from time to time.
The starlight fell, reflecting the earth brightly, but unlike the feeling of everything washing in the sky when the moon was in the sky, the starlight covered everything with a hazy veil.
"Whoa—"
The white waterfall falls through the slits, and the splashed water vapor reflects dazzling colored light under the starlight, as if an invisible hand has sprinkled a handful of colorful powder from the sky, making the waterfall crystal clear for miles, like thousands of fireflies dancing under the starlight!
But in fact, it wasn't a firefly, it wasn't a colored powder, it was the glow of the Astral Grass - this was Mavis Manor, one of the largest alchemy estates for the Antonia family, and judging by the name, it naturally belonged to Mavis.
The area of Mavis Manor is more than 100 acres, and the Starlight Grass planted in it is innumerable, and Starlight Grass is a rare alchemy material, you can imagine the value of this manor! In fact, in addition to the hundreds of maids who take care of the Starlight Grass, there are also 20 Tianqin Hunting Patrols stationed here all year round, which shows that Mavis attaches great importance to this place!
And tonight, none of the twenty Lyra patrols rested, ten female guards were distributed in various outposts of the manor, and the other ten were patrolling around the manor—the reason why these twenty Lyra patrols looked like they were facing a great enemy was because of the arrival of one person—the current lord of the territory, the hero who stopped the Kuroshio, Viscount Black Wind!
Lei Qi didn't know about this, when he first came here just to collect some Starlight Grass to complete his alchemy experiment, but inadvertently, he accidentally touched the bottleneck of the Demon Sealer - Starlight Grass can gather Starlight, which is not a secret, and the Star Soul Warrior cultivates the power of the stars, so if you sit between the Starlight Grass and cultivate, it is very likely to speed up your cultivation!
Not until then, no one had such an idea or even put it into practice, but in the end, such an attempt was far from achieving the desired results.
First of all, very few people can meet the requirements - a large area of starlight grass. The growth environment of Starlight Grass is extremely harsh, and in the entire Dawn Valley, only Starlight Valley can grow Starlight Grass in a large area! However, not every inch of land in Starfog Valley is suitable for Starlight Grass to grow; in fact, even in Starfog Valley, only a very small part of the soil is really suitable for growing Starlight Grass. And most of these areas suitable for growing Starlight Grass have always been in the hands of the Antonia family, and the Antonia family is mostly mages.
Of course, although the Antonia family is a family of music and magic, it is not without star soul warriors, such as the old urchin Dick, who is now a semi-saint powerhouse who has one foot in the realm of the Mujahideen! So the Antonia family naturally made similar attempts, but in the end, they were disappointed to find out- It is true that the Starlight Grass can speed up the cultivation speed of the Star Soul Warrior, but that is only below the Pledge of Battle, and it can be said that the promotion effect above the fourth order is very small;
Therefore, the Antonia family has long privately forbidden the clansmen to use the Starlight Grass to cultivate, after all, instead of wasting the precious Starlight Grass, it is better to spend gold coins in exchange for those magic potions that can improve the physique, which can also moderately speed up the cultivation speed, and it is also cheaper!
After entering Mavis Manor, when he was in the middle of a large area of starlight grass, Leitch unconsciously entered a wonderful state, as if he was in the infinite starry sky, and one star after another slipped between his fingers!
Not only that, but the seven star cores (Seven Star Demon Sealers) in the Lei Qi Dantian actually resonated with the Starlight Grass - at this time, Lei Qi's back showed seven star core phantoms the size of watermelons, and they were like water pumps, frantically plundering the starlight emitted by the surrounding Starlight Grass!
At first, the range of plundering was very small, only a few meters, but soon it extended to more than ten meters, or even tens of meters! When it was extended to 100 meters, the starlight gathered around Leqi was almost condensed into a liquid! At the same time, Leqi actually condensed the eighth class star core! You know, this whole process took less than a quarter of an hour! However, this is not without a price, and the starlight grass within 100 meters of Leqi's body has gradually shown signs of withering!
Seeing that the movement of her master was getting louder and louder, Susan, the succubus maid hidden in the dark, secretly cast a large-scale illusion and a large-scale sound magic, so that the Lyra Patrol Guards who were patrolling and standing guard did not notice the changes in the depths of the manor at this time.
Susan is able to cast magic because she is a shadow mage - Hunter + Abyss Mage. In fact, almost all succubi are born abyssal mages, and a very small number of them have the potential to awaken other power systems, such as hunters (Nightblades), demon archers (rangers), and so on. And Susan is the only shadow mage in a million!
Susan's current strength is a fifth-order shadow killer + fifth-order magician (humans and elves are called arcanists, and goblins are called witches), but Susan can feel that this is not her peak strength, but because of memory loss, Susan doesn't know how strong she used to be.
However, Susan is quite dissatisfied with her current strength, because the strength of the fifth order cannot protect her master well, especially after following Luck back to Starmist Valley and learning about the increasingly chaotic situation in the Dawn Valley.
As for asking Susan about her feelings for Leitch, she herself couldn't tell what kind of feeling she had about her master—when she was first found by the royal family of Palermo, Susan lost all her strength, otherwise she wouldn't have been captured by the other party; what made her feel even more panicked and helpless, she had lost all her memories!
When he was rescued by Leitch, he saw his face for the first time, and the words he said-"From now on, you will be my personal maid", actually made Susan surprisingly have a trace of inexplicable security! She was originally at a loss, but at that moment she seemed to have found her own belonging! So at that time, Susan did not have much resistance to the fact that she was about to become a strange male maid!
As Leitch enters Darklake City, Susan thinks she'll be insulted - although she has lost her memory, but not common sense and thinking skills, such as knowing how seductive their succubus clan is for most males!
But in the end, she guessed wrong, and Ratche didn't possess her, nor did he impose some unequal magical contracts on her, which was normal in the abyss, and the master really treated her like an ordinary maid, and even gave himself a new name, Susan.
Moreover, Susan likes to stay by Leitch's side, and there is a smell in the master that she likes so much, she doesn't understand what it is, but she really likes it, and the feeling is like the moonlight of the abyss shining on her body, which gives her a sense of peace of mind. By now, Susan no longer even bothered about her lost memories—she felt that it was best to be by her master's side all the time......
After condensing the eighth star core, Leitch did not stop there, in fact, Leqi's consciousness had already been completely immersed in that wonderful starry sky illusion, and now forcibly plundering the starlight of the Starlight Grass was completely an act of physical autonomy!
The scope of Leitch's plunder was still expanding, and soon it extended to two hundred or three hundred meters away! Because of the terrifying suction of the eight star core phantoms behind Leqi, the starlight on the ground had already converged into a stream of air, just like colorful ribbons spread out on the ground!
"Boom-"
When the plundering range extended to five hundred meters, with a muffled sound, a ninth star core phantom appeared behind Lei Qi, and in Lei Qi's dantian, the ninth star core was also condensed! That is, at this time, Lei Qi stepped into the realm of the Nine Star Demon Sealer!
In less than an hour, he has improved two small realms, and this promotion speed has to be said to be quite terrifying. But the matter did not end there, as the ninth star core phantom appeared, just like the sun rising, the star core phantom behind Luck actually floated into the air one by one, constantly levitating and changing, looking like they were arranging and combining!
When the phantom of the nine star cores slowly came to a standstill, one after another starlight rays shot out from the star cores and intertwined, and finally combined into a star map that looked like a three-headed golden dragon!
"Roar!" "Roar!"
With three terrifying dragon roars, a three-headed golden dragon actually flew out of the star map, and when the three heads of the three-headed golden dragon looked up at the starry sky and opened their huge dragon mouths, they actually caused a large area of starlight to fall! Such a huge density and area far exceeded the previous Ten or a hundred times more than the ground starlight extracted by Lucky!
Just like drinking water, a large amount of starlight was frantically ingested by the three-headed golden dragon, and a small part of the remaining starlight leaked to the ground and was absorbed by the starlight grass on the ground; under the nourishment of the massive starlight, those starlight grasses that had previously shown signs of withering burst out with amazing vitality again! Even all the starlight plants in the entire Mavis Manor began to grow wildly as if they had been applied growth hormones!
On the ground, a pale blue halo appeared around Leqi's body, which was the materialized starlight! And Leitch's momentum fluctuated, constantly wandering between the Demon Sealer and the Oath! But there is no doubt that Leitch may take the last step at any time and officially step into the realm of the Oath!
"Boom-"
Suddenly, a trace of golden lightning appeared on Richie's body, and countless tiny currents swam around Richy. Inadvertently, an electric current **** to a starlight grass next to it, and a strange scene happened - the starlight grass that was originally growing wildly suddenly turned into a color like a black and white photo! That feeling, as if losing the soul!
This kind of golden lightning is the main reason for Leitch's crossing. Until now, they had only been lurking in Reich's soul, but now that Reich was about to enter the realm of the Vows, they began to appear as materialized lightning!
