bottleneck

"George, tell me quickly, what's the matter with Dako? ”

After the others left the basement, Phyllis asked impatiently. Darko was stunned, obviously it was George's intention to stay, and it seemed that George's affairs still had something to do with him.

George didn't answer Phyllis right away, but looked at Darko and muttered for a while before slowly asking, "Darko, I know that your body was shaped later, and although you are still a lich in nature, you are no longer an undead. ”

Darko was stunned, and didn't know why George would bring it up, but nodded blankly.

George also nodded at Darko and said, "That's my problem, do you feel the bottleneck?"

Darko was stunned for a moment, he recalled that from the magic apprentice to the great magician, the previous few upgrades were all natural, as if there was no bottleneck at all. And although he has not yet reached the peak of the Great Wizard level, he has already been able to detect the existence of a certain bottleneck when he meditates, and he has predicted that he will inevitably encounter great obstacles when advancing to the rank of Magician. He was silent for a moment, then nodded yes.

"Many people are unable to move up the ladder after reaching a certain level, and this phenomenon is called a bottleneck. There are many kinds of bottlenecks, and the vast majority of them are limited by talent and cannot be leveled, usually what we call a bottleneck is a talent bottleneck. George explained in detail, "According to the incomplete statistics of the Magic Guild, about 60% of the legal professionals who encounter bottlenecks are talent bottlenecks, and the remaining 40% include soul bottlenecks, carrying bottlenecks, mana bottlenecks, meditation bottlenecks, foreign object bottlenecks, heart demon bottlenecks, contract bottlenecks, transfer bottlenecks, etc., a total of fifteen different types of bottlenecks. ”

Phyllis screamed, "Is the bottleneck in the Darko one of the fifteen?"

"No, Daktro's current situation is most likely something else, and it doesn't belong to one of the fifteen. George shook his head, his expression a little solemn, "This kind of bottleneck only existed among necromancers who reincarnated themselves as lichs before, and it was too niche, so it was not included in the fifteen bottlenecks. The ancestors of our family called it the reincarnation bottleneck. ”

"Is there a bottleneck in reincarnation?" Phyllis obviously heard of this, and asked with a frown, "But Darko has advanced all the way from a magic apprentice to the current great mage, and the reincarnation bottleneck cannot be upgraded." ”

Seeing that Darko was still puzzled, George continued, "Usually after the lich is reincarnated, the phenomenon of not being able to raise the level is called the reincarnation bottleneck. The reason why you are able to level up is because when you are reborn as a lich, you are not perfectly reborn, and the starting point is lower than the level of your previous life. So after you get the flesh, you can level up in the form of a living being, but the nature of reincarnation does not change, it still limits your level cap, and you will encounter a bottleneck after reaching a certain level. ”

When it comes to being limited by his past life, George doesn't mention the name Bright, but Darko has a feeling that George knows everything and just doesn't want to embarrass him. Darko nodded gratefully yes, but then he suddenly thought of a counter-example, and asked suspiciously, "I met a certain senior of the Nike Remones family in the Hell of the Dead, and he seems to have broken through this bottleneck. ”

Neither in books nor in reality, there are no lichs that can be leveled up, and necromancers like those who turn themselves into lichs can't even raise their ranks, let alone summoned lichs like Dakko. Benjamin was an exception, as it seems that when he first arrived in the Hell of the Undead, he did not reach the holy level, and was apparently promoted later.

"I've heard Phyllis say that Benjamin doesn't count. George actually guessed what Darko was thinking, and explained to him directly, "As the Lich King, Benjamin has obviously integrated into the laws of the Undead Hell, and he no longer belongs to the material plane, otherwise it would be impossible to continue to advance after becoming a lich." ”

Phyllis was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Do you mean that unless Darko turns into an undead spirit and returns to the undead hell, there is no way to break through the level of the previous life?"

George looked at Phyllis, then nodded.

Phyllis asked anxiously, "Why are you telling him this?"

"These are two different paths, either to be a weak person who maintains the status quo or to pursue power alone, and I just let Dakko see the choices he faces earlier. George said calmly.

Darko bowed his head in deep thought, and Phyllis still relentlessly asked, "Is there no other way?"

"It can't be said that there is no other way, there are thousands of planes in the void, and no one can say whether there is any magical civilization that can solve this problem, of course, the chance is very slim. George was silent for a moment before continuing, "There are several ways I know. ”

"What's the method, let's hear it. As soon as Phyllis heard that it was possible to help Dakko break through the bottleneck, she was immediately uneasy.

"There are far more people stuck in bottlenecks than in the process of accumulating mana, and it is the limitations of these bottlenecks that make the hierarchy take on the shape of a pyramid. However, some bottlenecks are easy to be broken through, such as taking potions, absorbing spiritual power crystals, etc., there is a certain possibility of success, of course, the cost of failure is also very serious, at least the possibility of losing the possibility of upgrading forever, or falling directly. Speaking of this, George sighed, "But those methods can only deal with ordinary bottlenecks, such as the bottleneck of reincarnation, which is very difficult to break through, and there is no solution so far, unless it ......"

"Brother, don't gasp for breath, unless you say something quickly!" Phyllis was a little excited.

"Unless there is a powerful Legendary Bloodline for him to absorb, it is possible to use the power of the laws in the Legendary Bloodline to help him break through. ”

"Isn't our family a legendary bloodline, why didn't you say it earlier, tell me how to get it, and give it to Darko to drink?" Phyllis was both happy and nervous, and Darko saw it in his eyes and felt a pang of emotion in his heart.

Seeing this, George also sighed lightly, "As long as you awaken your true name, you can absorb the power of the law, it has nothing to do with the amount of blood, you try to drip a drop of blood on Darko's hand." ”

Phyllis took out a small dagger and slashed it on her finger, squeezing out a drop of blood. Phyllis then grabbed Darko's hand again, dripping blood onto Darko's palm.

As soon as the blood touched Dako's hand, he immediately felt a warm current coming from the palm of his hand, and in a moment it traveled all over his body, impacting the invisible barrier to loosen slightly, but still failed to break through the bottleneck.

Phyllis looked at Darko nervously, "How is it?

Darko looked at Phyllis apologetically, then turned to George in the crystal ball, "I can feel the bottleneck loosen slightly when I was hit by the force in the blood, but then it immediately returned to its original state, and it still looks like it can't break through it." ”

George nodded, "That's right, with the bloodline of the Nike Remones family, you can't do that." To help you break through the bottleneck, you need a stronger bloodline. ”

Phyllis frowned, "Stronger bloodline? Aren't our legendary bloodlines the strongest? Don't tell me that the Holy Beasts and Gods bloodlines are stronger. ”

"Of course not, the legendary bloodline is incomparable to the other two bloodlines, at least at the level of the laws involved. George looked into the distance and said deeply, "The three bloodlines of Legend, Holy Beast, and Gods are just the most powerful bloodlines in our plane, but among the more advanced tenth-level planes, there are even more powerful bloodlines. ”

"Stronger than the legendary bloodline? How is this possible?" In Phyllis's cognition, the legendary powerhouse is already the most powerful existence, and the bloodline they left behind is naturally the most powerful, but now that she was told that there is a stronger one, she was a little confused for a while, but she suddenly thought of a possibility, and exclaimed, "Could it be that you are talking about the embodiment of the law?"

George bowed slightly, "The embodiment of a law can exist in any form, it can be an organization, it can be a skill, it can be an object, it can be a person, it can be a bloodline. ”

Phyllis frowned, "Is there a difference between a person who embodies the law and a bloodline? ”

"The difference lies in inheritance, what can be passed on is the bloodline, no matter how strong a person is, his descendants will not be able to benefit. George raised his right hand, bent his fingers one by one, and said, "In addition to the Law Manifestation Bloodline, there are also Chaos Bloodlines and Twin Legendary Bloodlines, which are also extremely powerful existences, compared to them, the three major bloodlines and nine families of the Amisia Plane are all just scum." ”

Phyllis's eyes widened, "Twin Legendary Bloodlines?"

"We know that when a legendary powerhouse is dying, he can choose to integrate the power of his true name into the bloodline of his clan, and the bloodline passed down in this way is the legendary bloodline. And the double legendary bloodline is naturally the bloodline created by two legendary powerhouses in succession who give their real names to the same family. ”

"No way. Phyllis immediately retorted, "In the family of the legendary bloodline, there will be a legend again, and all the power will be absorbed by that person, and the rest of the clan will fall into a coma due to the depletion of the bloodline." ”

Darko also nodded secretly, he had listened to Sariwala's pedigree course when he was in the Academy of Magic, and naturally knew this. But George said with a smile, "You are right, but there is a special situation, if the second legendary powerhouse does not rely on the power in the bloodline at all in the whole process of achieving the legend, but relies on himself step by step to get there, so that after becoming a legend, he will not absorb the bloodline power of other clansmen, and after death, he can still give the power of his real name to the family." ”

Phyllis was stunned and muttered, "In this way, wouldn't it be possible to infinitely superimpose the real name on the surname of a family, and then the descendants of this family will become stronger and stronger." ”

"If you want to be beautiful, is it so easy for you to reach the legendary without the help of blood, and if you are allowed to use no necromancy at all, how far can you reach the combat power?" George hit Phyllis mercilessly, "What's more, even if this difficult method can be achieved, the power of the dual legendary bloodlines will all converge in one person within a generation, and the rest will all die of bloodline exhaustion." As a result, there is only one person who owns the dual legendary bloodline, and it is natural that it will become weaker and weaker in the following generations. ”

Phyllis was taken aback, "Huh, why is this happening?"

George shook his head and sighed, "Maybe this is the macro control of the law, the stronger the bloodline, the smaller the number of individuals, and the more difficult it is to keep the bloodline pure." ”

"What kind of existence is that Chaos Bloodline?" Darko asked strangely about another bloodline, the Flounder bloodline he had obtained in the Void had the power of chaos and was the opposite of order. Theoretically, the fusion of order and chaos is chaos, but why it exists in the form of blood, this is very puzzling to Darko.

"I didn't know much about this, but I just learned about such an existence in the book. ”

Phyllis looked at George suspiciously, "Hey, how do you know about so much nonsense, who did you listen to?"

"Read more books when you have time, and don't always play around all day. George shook a thick book in his hand, and Darko saw the three gilded characters on it, "The Worlds".

Phyllis also knew that she didn't read much, and most of the courses in the magic academy were skipped by her, and she also asked to teach Darko a lot of knowledge, and she blushed for a while, and retorted, "What's the use of looking at those? Could it be that you still want to run to the tenth-level heteroplane?"

Phyllis just said casually, but she didn't expect George to reply with a serious expression, "Now my level is still lower, at least one year, at most five years, and when I reach the level of the Grand Magus, I can go out and go around." ”

There are countless people who are stuck in the bottleneck and cannot upgrade, and no one can say what height they can reach until the moment of the final breakthrough, and they can't determine which level is their limit. So George said this arrogantly, but he was so right, as if everything was supposed to be like this.

Not only Darko, but even Phyllis opened her mouth in surprise, she wanted to say something to persuade George, but she thought that George would not listen to whatever she said, so she finally gave up.

Thinking of the bloodlines that George said, Phyllis and Darko were silent when they heard this, these powerful families were not only rare, but there was no one in the Ametsia plane. And even if they can find it, they will definitely not be able to beat it.

Phyllis frowned and said, "Isn't that equivalent to not saying anything?" ”

George said calmly, "I'm telling Dako everything I know, so that at least he knows what he's up against when he is faced with his choice." ”

Darko sighed, then said firmly, "Thank you Senior George for the reminder, I already understand." I'm not at the peak of the Great Magician level yet, and when that happens, I'll make my choice. ”
