Chapter 400: On Mental Power

After saying goodbye to everyone, Thor returned to his original trajectory.

The Randy sisters are on their way to visit a friend of theirs in Bright Startown, while the three Rook brothers are planning to spend a few days in town. As for Thor, it is still the same target that seems close but seems very far away, home.

Speaking of going home, Thor suddenly regretted it, remembering that he might have missed an opportunity when he was in the Dragon Mountains. For example, threatening or coaxing the dragon Shiitake mushroom to turn into a dragon and carry her home, it is far faster than walking by herself.

Well, it was a bold idea, and Saul thought it over the feasibility and found it unachievable.

Theoretically, it wouldn't take long to cross the continent from the Dragon Mountains to the City of Liberty. But even if he succeeds for a while, once the dragon shiitake mushroom masters his foothold, then he will face the risk of being wiped out of his nest by the dragon all day long.

And in order for the dragon shiitake mushroom to fly as a dragon, it is necessary to unleash her magic power or combat power. Thor believed that if he dared to do so, he might turn into dragon feces before he could get on the road, and the dragon shiitake mushroom had said he would eat it.

"Do dragons eat people?" asked Thor.

"It is said that dragons can go without food for a long time after a meal, and humans are not the main recipe of dragons, but they are meat after all. So as long as she can hold you in her stomach, she can achieve the process of eating. Impostor scholar Neferna analyzed.

Imagining himself wailing and wriggling in the dragon's stomach pouch, Thor shuddered inexplicably. No, maybe you won't have a chance to squirm, and you'll probably be chewed between the dragon's teeth. That is undoubtedly a human tragedy.

"You're afraid that the dark dragon will catch up, aren't you?" neferna teased.

"Just kidding, I've been Sol Drake wild all my life, I've challenged all kinds of shiitake mushrooms, who have I been afraid of......? When you perceive your surroundings, remember to pay more attention to see if there are any large shadows approaching in the sky. Saul commanded.

"Look~" Neferna let out a disdainful sound.

"Isn't it common sense that wild dogs are afraid of dragons?"

"Ha~!You say you're a wild dog?" Neferna instantly grasped the point of Thor's words.

It's strange that Saul didn't deny it.

"I was a wild dog for a long time, leaving my kennel where I had nothing to be missed, and wandering the ruins of the wilderness all day long. Sniff here, gouge there, and occasionally tear off other wild dogs and monsters...... That state is called wandering. ”

"No family, no desires, beauty, money, power, everything I don't care. Saul's tone was a little stunned.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made fun of you...... So this is the highest level of wandering?" neferna comforted, digressing the subject.

"This is indeed the highest state of wandering, and what I say is nothing but family. Because you don't have a home, no matter how far you go, wherever you go, you're wandering. Thor suddenly began to miss the nest of shiitake mushrooms at home again.

After visiting the bazaar in Bright Star Town, in addition to looting the local scattered soul crystals, Thor also bought two secret realm scrolls of the reincarnation dungeon as he wished. He tore one open just by standing on the edge of the stall, but unfortunately nothing happened as always.

There is no blue light door, and there is no way home.

The stall owner was taken aback, afraid that the customers would find trouble, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain that these scrolls were definitely genuine, and they were old goods left over from the previous shipments, but now there were fewer and fewer adventurers who came to buy the scrolls of the secret realm.

Thor didn't embarrass the stall owner, shook his head and turned to leave.

There are fewer and fewer adventurers buying Uncharted Scrolls, and there may be two reasons.

One is that many adventurers should have discovered that the Uncharted Scrolls are unusable. Then, at least until this problem is solved, this commodity will only decline more and more, and even gradually fall into a situation where no one cares.

Another reason is that the continent's adventure landscape is changing.

In the past, advancing was the only way to be powerful, but the Secret Realm Scroll was more like a shortcut to advancement, a more efficient way to collect demon souls. It can be said that the appearance and existence of the Secret Realm Scroll are all based on the premise of providing promotion services for the majority of adventurers.

But now it's different, ghostly monsters have become a new problem that everyone is facing urgently.

Thor's belief that strangling the ghost would expand his mental power was no secret among adventurers.

Even if it's a secret for the time being, it's only between low-level adventurers like Randy and Funa, but Thor has told them the truth. It is believed that as adventurers become more and more detailed and clear about ghosts, the problem of mental power will eventually become known.

Then there will be a disagreement in the way the mainland is adventurous.

If a professional is lucky when he is promoted to the second rank, he has obtained a combat skill with magic attributes, which can effectively kill ghosts. Then he is likely to stop his progress and concentrate on the cause of destroying ghosts.

After all, instead of risking the unknown of life and death to push open the door to the advancement, it is more meaningful to destroy a few necromancers in the wilderness and strengthen your own spiritual power, which is also in line with the mainstream adventure environment on the current continent.

Although the matter of promotion can strengthen oneself, except for the growth of spiritual power, which is beneficial to the elimination of ghosts, other aspects are actually not very helpful. Because no matter how dense your muscles are and how hard your bones are, you may not have more chances of winning against ghosts.

Of course, the matter of promotion will definitely not fall because of this.

There will still be many people who see farther and walk the road one after the other, such as Thor.

Because Thor knows very well that the struggle on this continent has never been just a struggle for survival, a struggle with monsters in the wilderness, but also a struggle with other humans. If you want to live a peaceful life with important people and things, this kind of strife will never stop.

It's okay if you're cowardly and unwilling to swing your sword, and it's okay if you want to stay alone, anyway, it's okay to be slaughtered at the end of the day.

This has always been the way of the world.

Strife is the eternal theme of human society, because it comes from human greed and desire, etc., in short, there are too many reasons.

When a high-level professional wants to obliterate a low-level, even if the low-level person's mental power has exploded because of the perennial extermination of ghosts, he can use his professional skills at will, but this low-level professional will not be able to escape the fate of losing his head in the end.

So at the end of the day, monsters and ghosts in the wilderness are just one side or part of the strife.

Maintaining a relatively sufficient strength at all times to deal with the ever-changing world and malice is the most correct way for Thor to be.

For the rest of his journey, Thor left Bright Star and began to make his way towards the main city of Pandor's relay.

The only thing Thor can do is to measure the land with his own feet, keep himself on the road at all times, and do his best to shorten the distance home.

The only good news is that Thor's combat efficiency against the ghosts has been effectively improved.

The reason is that the vampire ghost in the castle fantasy had given Thor a cloak when he was leaving, and Thor had always thought it was just an ordinary souvenir to commemorate the night of ecstasy that crossed the age of the race. Oh, good thing it didn't cross genders.

After being recognized by the goddess Shiitake Neferna, this cloak of extremely ordinary hues in all aspects turned out to be a magical item.

The name of the cloak is unknown, but Neferna has given it the name 'Cloak of Concealment' based on its characteristics. The effect is that when Thor wears it, the cloak will hide his strength rank aura, and it can also hide his dark constitution.

The benefits of this cloak are obvious, at least it saves Thor a lot of effort.

As long as he puts on his cloak when Thor is on his way, there will be unsightly necromancers along the way, and then become part of Thor to enhance his soul and spiritual power, instead of him running wild in the wilderness to pursue, and finally be tired like a dead dog.

Thor himself couldn't guess that the beautiful vampire finally gave him such a thing because he saw his dark constitution and felt that he would need something, or was it a little prank on the other side? Thor preferred to believe that she meant well.

The only regret is that although I had each other with the vampire beauty that night, I couldn't talk about my heart in the end.

Oh, this is a statement made by Rooke, who summed it up on the basis of his many years of experience with street warblers.

"Since our bodies have communicated deeply, if we can't talk to each other openly after we are done, then what is the difference between us and the beast?" said Rook with a look on his face that I knew about life.

Thor began to rush along the way, killing the necromancers he encountered along the way.

Fortunately, with the company of the female shiitake mushroom Neferna, the journey alone is not too boring.

Through this period of mental power tempering, Thor figured out the problem of the maximum number of times his skills were reached. The so-called upper limit refers to the fact that after repeatedly using a professional skill that consumes mental power, the user will fall into fainting and lose the ability to move due to the overdraft of mental power.

This vague threshold is the maximum number of skills.

If you repeatedly use the 'Abyss Rift', the total amount of fifth-order spiritual power can probably support yourself to continue using it for less than a hundred times. In the future, if you forcibly overdraw your mental power, you will fall into a coma because your mental power is unsustainable.

In addition, Neferna proposed a new theory.

She threatens that psychic power should have something in common with the magic meditation of mages.

That is to say, if you forcibly consume the full mental power every day, and then rest and recover after reaching the limit, theoretically, in this process similar to re-impounding water, the total amount of mental power will also be expanded and increased.

Thor verified it and found that it was indeed the case, although the amount of growth was small, but it still had a cumulative value.

A life with a goal is always fulfilling, maybe one day when your mental strength is enough to use the fifth-order 'mire' skill, maybe you can turn the surrounding area into a swampy sea by stomping your feet.
