Since that night, Guderian has not seen Ellie and Sophie. The daily itinerary is to go to the barracks and from the barracks back to the Tower. In his spare time, he pushed his father around the city, or listened to his father talk about some things about his childhood. Old Gleney no longer mentions Elliejie's affairs, but he still feels guilty about the dead robe.

"Well, in the past week, the mental strength has grown very rapidly. "In the Mage's Tower, in Gandalf's laboratory, Gandalf is doing a mental power measurement for Guderian. Guderian sat on a strange chair with his eyes closed, and on the back of the chair was a metal ring encrusted with several magic crystals of different sizes, and the metal ring was placed on Guderian's head. As Guderian energized his spiritual powers, those magic crystals shimmered with a variety of different colors.

"Mastering the blood requires mental passivation, growth to the level of a high-level mage, and physical strength at least to the level of yours. Gandalf looked at Guderian as he took off the metal ring and said, "Strange to say, in the recorded history of mankind, only magic has a mature system and hierarchy, but pure physical power has no such system and hierarchy. If calculated in terms of spell power, your current pure physical power can only burst into the full power of the three-ring fireball. ”

"But that's where the incredible belief. With such a weak spell power, under the combination of various weapons and skills, even an existence like an archmage may not dare to say that he can win. Gandalf continued.

"I almost died at the hands of Fortan Julis. Guderian heard Gandalf's amazement at the strength of the flesh and remembered the battle with the lich, so he told Gandalf what had happened.

"Hmph, if he appears in front of Odin, see how he's going to die. In terms of the use of physical strength, old Odin can be said to be the first person in the kingdom. In the words of your soldiers, old Odin belongs to the master of swordsmanship. But this does not mean that the power of the flesh is very powerful. Like the Fishmen and Naga of the Sea Clan, the Minotaurs and Centaurs of the underground, their physical strength is much stronger than that of humans, but they are also killed in an instant in front of humans who have the skills to use various weapons and physical strength. The most incredible thing is that old Odin did not awaken blood control. Gandalf sneered.

"Hmm. I get that. Guderian nodded. (In this book, there will be no such thing as fighting spirit, internal strength, bloodline inheritance power, etc.) Only sword and magic. Of course, the sword is only one of the various weapons, not just the sword. ）

These are the conclusions that have long been reached. This week-long study is my confirmation of the results of previous studies. In order to awaken blood control, the first need for spiritual power must reach that of a high-level mage and be in harmony with the physical body. The so-called fit is actually passivation, which is why almost all awakened people have no way to communicate with the magic element to become a mage. Again, the strength of the physical strength must reach the power of the three-ring spell. In the past, we have not studied it, but we have not been able to grasp the definition of physical strength. For various reasons, none of the people who cooperated with the research have just awakened like you. With the awakening of blood control, you will naturally become familiar with the use of it, and it will change your physique a lot. People who have not awakened the control of blood will have a limit to their physical strength, and at most they can reach the full power of the spells of the four rings, such as when old Odin was in his prime, he could no longer break through this limit. And those who awaken the control of blood will break through this limit. For example, Leonardo, that kid's physical strength has reached the power of the five-ring spell. Of course, he couldn't go through ten rounds in front of old Odin. Gandalf sat down at his workbench in the lab and took out the data from the various experiments of the past week and sorted them out.

"So, if the meditation method you gave me can be popularized to ordinary warriors, as long as their mental and physical strength strength reaches this standard, they will be able to take the initiative to awaken blood control?" Guderian asked.

Gandalf shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. You have to be clear that not everyone has the qualifications to practice this meditation method, and not everyone who can practice it can blunt the mental power, which is what everyone calls being in harmony with the physical body. If it were that simple, I wouldn't have to do any research here. For thousands of years, countless mages who have studied blood control have been stuck in the problem of mental power passivation. Generally, people who have not learned meditation methods will basically have their mental power fixed when they reach adulthood, and only a few exceptions will continue to grow passively, and these individual exceptions will awaken blood control as long as their physical strength reaches a certain limit. And herein lies the problem, most of the spiritual power that grows naturally is blunted. For those who learn meditation, there is no way to passivate, and they can't even touch the reason for passivation. ”

“...... Isn't General Loglis capable of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?" Guderian remembered Leonardo's conversation with Douglas at the time.

Gandalf heard Guderian's words and said with a little annoyance: "Many people are prejudiced against our necromantic mages. Especially after the events of Fortan Ulis a hundred years ago. Kid Rogriss also came to me to borrow information on the anatomy of the human body and the functioning of organs, but rejected my research. If he had cooperated with me at that time, maybe he would have had an eyebrow by now. Most people with dull mental power are unable to communicate the elements of magic, and individually, there is no way to master too complex spells. But Loglis does have an exception to the recorded exceptions. Now he can cast the spell of the Eight Rings, although he has no spell slot and passivated spiritual power can not support him to cast more than three Eight Ring spells, but he can be regarded as a high-level mage. Gandalf glanced at Guderian again.

Guderian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought about his messy thoughts and apprehension when Gandalf invited him to collaborate on research.

"That...... Is the bluntness of mental power related to the strength of the soul?" Guderian asked casually.

"Huh?" Gandalf's eyes lit up, then he dimmed and shook his head, "The growth of spiritual power will also increase the strength of the soul. In the same way, the greater the strength of the body, the greater the strength of the soul. The quality of the soul, in addition to allowing the mage to engrave the spell model, is also manifested in our willpower. If it is said that the passivation of spiritual power is related to the strength of the soul, then with the foundation of Old Odin, it has long been controlled by awakening blood. Gandalf dismissed the idea, but he had a vague grasp of something.

"So, are there different categories or attributes of the soul?" Guderian thought, since there is no way to start in terms of physical body and mental power, then what about the soul? Necromantic mages should also be the best at studying souls, right?

Gandalf suddenly stood up and ran out of the lab as fast as he could, leaving Guderian stunned. This speed and agility don't look like an old man at all. Before Guderian could finish his astonishment, Gandalf rushed into the laboratory like another gust of wind, and with his wide white robe and white hair and white beard, he was a ghost.

"Hahahaha, Guderian, you are a genius! Necromantic mages have been studying soul attributes and categories for thousands of years, and it was only a few years ago that our Necromantic Council came up with a rough summary. Your way of thinking has inspired me, and I think we're not far from success!" Gandalf sat down behind his desk with a handful of papers in his hand, laughing and flipping through them, ignoring Guderian.

Guderian saw Gandalf looking at the materials while picking up the goose feather tube to write and scratch, completely fascinated, so he shook his head and quietly left the laboratory. Once the mages are immersed in their own world, they are most annoyed by the disturbances of others.

For a week, Guderian had been practicing meditation according to Gandalf's teachings, and had learned more comprehensive and detailed information about controlling the blood. This stimulated Guderian's strength, and from the previous method of using the contraction of the heart to roughly accelerate and decelerate the blood, it stepped into the threshold of subtlety. For example, in accelerated running, Guderian was able to control the rhythm of his breathing, the depth and the rate of his heart rate, and at the same time, he did not need the rapid compression of the heart to increase the blood circulation between the lungs, waist and legs. That is to say, the spiritual power has become the second heart, and the heart of the human body is only a channel. With the increase of mental power, Guderian's control of the subtleties became more refined, so that the use of physical energy became more efficient. Guderian believed that if he met a strong man like Fortan Uris again, he would not be so embarrassed as he was at the beginning. Of course, Guderian was not arrogant enough to think that he could defeat or kill the other.

Guderian returned to the tower where he and his father were staying, and found Oga making tea and playing chess with his father in the sunset by the windowsill.

"Came back so early today. Old Gleney looked at his son, who had not heard for nearly ten years, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was not enough to see, and there was pride and love hidden in his eyes.

"Father, cousin. Guderian sat down beside them.

"Is there any progress?" Ogala's expression was not as cold as it had been at first, but it wasn't much better.

"It's ok. The stimulation of power has been able to be retracted and released freely. Guderian picked up the teapot and filled the two of them with tea, and said briefly: "Father, cousin, who are the martial arts masters on the continent over the years?"

"I've been out of the army for a long time...... I don't pay much attention to that. Old Gleney shook his head and landed at the chessboard.

Oga looked at Guderian and continued to stare at the chess path of old Gleni on the chessboard, and said, "In the kingdom, counting you, there are about thirty or forty people who can be regarded as martial arts masters. According to the division of the army, the kingdom should be the strongest with Odin as the strongest. He is the only one who can deserve the title of master. Others, such as Rogris, Leonardo, Augustus, etc., who served or served in the army, can be regarded as first-class masters. Oga said and dropped a piece on the chessboard, causing old Glenny to be worried.

"As for the other three countries, there are a lot of them, and there are more than 100 people who can be included in the ranks of first-class masters. And there are not many who can be ranked with Odin's marshal, including Yu Xuan, the spear king of Dayu, Saint Montgomery of Totai's sword, Gandhi the Venerable of the Inca moon wheel, and the Valkyrie who is outside the armies of the four countries. Oga continued after that.

"Valkyrie?" Guderian looked at Oga in confusion.

"Yes, Valkyrie. No one knows her name, her origin. "Oga Dao.
