Chapter Seventy-Nine: Proficiency One
Lord Richard took the book handed by Buckland, opened it and opened two pages to see if it was in good condition.
The book is probably a bit old, the parchment pages are polished to a shiny and almost reflective color, but they are well preserved and free of water and moth-eaters, and the handwriting and legends are quite clear. There are seven or eight signatures on the title page, presumably the names of previous owners, one of whom is named Nero.
"It can't be that Nero, is it?" Richard ran his finger over the handwriting, then looked up in surprise.
By "that Nero" he refers to a famous rebel who has been active more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the elemental tide was at its lowest point in history, known as the "Hidden Era", and the difficulty of cultivating Dou Qi and magic skyrocketed, so the Sacred Word Prayer Technique, which was relatively independent of the elements, suddenly became mainstream.
But Nero himself was a demon swordsman who cultivated both magic and martial arts, not only was his cultivation of the Holy Word Prayer outstanding but also successfully cultivated magic to the realm of a mage in that difficult and barren environment.
It's like digging an outlet fountain in dry land for 800 years, and the lord must admit that it is an out-and-out miracle.
You must know that even today, when the concentration of elements is many times richer, high-level mages are still prominent symbols, enough to get a palace mage position in any country, let alone a higher-order mage.
If a beginner dares to set his goals so high, the teachers will be able to teach him the down-to-earth principles with a board.
Not to mention back then.
Nowadays, the public opinion generally evaluates this as an inopportune time, and having such an amazing talent but being born in the Hidden Era is a loss for him and the entire magic world.
But Nero didn't waste that talent, and he did more than that—his ability to start a war was probably better than his magical talent.
He was born with all mankind united under the same regime, and when he died, he was left with a divided territory and rival kings.
Now the kings of all sizes can be called Your Majesty, thanks to the unremitting efforts of this old man.
"Of course not. Buckland slumped back in his chair, the glass of wine that Anne had poured just now was too strong for him, it was like a stream of fire rushing into his stomach, "The parchment can't be preserved that long, it should be boring for future generations." ”
"Okay. Richard closed the page and placed the booklet to his right.
"Lord Richard, I hope you will grant me a small wish. Buckland blinked his little mung bean eyes, his fingers folded on his chest.
"You just say. "The lord thought to himself that it was better than what I could do, and it would be a pipe dream to expect him to spit out what he had in his hands again.
As a result, the sugar white tiger opened his mouth, and the degree of superiority was still above his expectations.
"I wonder if I will have the honor to serve as the internal affairs officer of Alpine Castle?"
"Absolutely. The lord paused for a moment, and then agreed.
In fact, he himself knew that the internal affairs of Gaoshan Fort had no stage of development at all, and the management of the people was not much better than the collection of protection fees by the ruffians, and it was completely scattered.
Richard's vote for his followers was fighting fiercer and tougher, but if he wanted them to pick up a pen and paper to count livestock, taxes, and population, it was better to rest as soon as possible.
In this case, it is a good thing that everyone can welcome a knowledgeable elder to take the initiative to take the lead.
"That's great. ”
"Alpine Fort is a place that is developing wildly, full of impulsiveness and intense vitality, and I, an old man, have not seen anything so touching in many years. Buckland smiled and said, "I love it here." ”
"You're welcome. Hearing Buckland's praise of the mountain castle like this, the lord's heart bubbled with joy, but he still had to be reluctant to be modest, "Far away is not counting Cologne, which can be compared to our country place." ”
"It was a bigger pond, but unfortunately there was only a pool of stagnant water in it. ”
"I also think that Alpine Fort has a kind of vigorous and upward vitality. Anne interjected at the right time.
............
At night, the lord returned to his room alone.
With the candle flame and a thin booklet, Richard quickly flipped through it, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.
The overall theory is very robust and simple, and the cultivation of the Holy Word Prayer is Huili, which is divided into five stages from low to high, namely "Dawn", "Starlight", "Moonlight", "Dawn Sun" and "Apocalypse".
The lowest-tier Dawn Tier Sanctuary has half an hour quota every day to activate "Radiance Surge", which increases its own strength by half. After that, the duration and amplification effect of each advanced Radiance surge doubled until the eight hours of the Apocalypse Rank Sanctuary were eightfold.
The Sacred Word Prayer focuses on the development of the body's own secrets, so the stronger the body and the clearer the spirit, the easier it is to get started.
I won't talk about the lord's mental condition, but his body is indeed a little weak—compared to the dragon.
He sat on the bed scratching his head, barely relaxed, and sat cross-legged for less than a quarter of an hour, when he felt a warm current swimming between his chest and abdomen, and a loud burp in his mouth.
"Lao Tzu is a genius!" Richard took the booklet and confirmed it again, it was a symbol of the initial introduction to the Sacred Word Prayer, which would take at least a month for the average person to complete.
In the middle of the night, there were a few wild laughs from the quiet mountain castle, which alarmed the lights in the nest again.
Next, as long as you take a little time, smelt this warm current into an egg-like glowing egg and entrench it in your heart, even if you officially enter the "Dawn Stage". After that, continue to practice until it becomes two, two becomes four, which is the "Starlight Stage" and the "Moonlight Stage", and so on.
The only thing that is a bit of a doorway is the distribution of the subsequent plural glow eggs, and different distributions will bring different effects. The excellent distribution explored by the predecessors is called the "Glow Treasure Map", which belongs to the advanced content of the master, and it is not included in this introductory book in hand.
However, this is at least something that the Xinghua level needs to worry about, and for the time being, it is as far away as the Xinghua in the sky.
Why don't you smelt overnight and go to the dawn first?Richard is very self-aggrandized now, and he can't help but worry about what if he is too quick to advance to Xinghua and find the Huili Treasure Map.
However, the diligence of the lord is like the repentance of a gambler, and he always comes and goes faster, and after a few breaths, he lays down on the bed.
Tomorrow's business will be talked about tomorrow!
Before going to bed, he opened the system panel and took a look, which had been a deep-rooted habit for many years.
At this moment, his already not very strong sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he rolled over and climbed up.
The mountain fort, which had just returned to tranquility, was once again awakened by a loud and shocking "sleeper".
There is an entry in the proficiency column in the system panel: Prayer of the Word, proficiency one.
