Chapter 178: Strange Talent: Ring of Magic
"He's dead?" Lilith was still a little unresponsive.
"It should be dead."
Rosen took out the meat grinder musket and fired several shots at the blood hole in Richard's head, expanding the finger-sized blood hole to the size of an eggplant before he walked near the corpse and used alchemy magic to probe it.
The results of the probe showed that Richard was breathing, his heart had stopped, his blood circulation had stopped, and he was completely dead.
Rosen was completely relieved at this time, his mind moved, and the alchemy magic began to carefully inspect the clothes on Richard's body, and about ten seconds later, the clothes on Richard's body moved slightly, and a small scroll flew out.
The scroll had been opened, and the outside was simply tied with a rope, and after Lawson unwrapped the rope and opened the scroll, he found that it was a letter, written in Cowell's official script, about a hundred words.
Fortunately, Rosen, who was trained as an alchemist since childhood, is fluent in the languages and languages of several countries, especially the Chinese language of King Cowell, which is the hometown of magicians, and Rosen is even more proficient in his native language.
He first glanced at the inscription of the scroll and saw that it was a letter from Bishop Amran to Richard.
'Dear friend....... I've recently discovered that if I can unlock the secrets of the monster body, I may be able to reveal the mysteries of the Great Mage....... I hope to get your help.......'
In just a few hundred words, I read it in a few glances.
Rosen savored Bishop Amran's words and said, "It seems that the relationship between these two men is much closer than Richard said. In addition, both Amran and Richard are in awe of the Great Magician, and it seems that the Great Magician has unrivaled power. Lilith, can you explain why? ”
Lilith nodded, "Because the Great Mage is the beginning of the otherworldly of mortals, and they possess almost endless power. ”
"Here's an example."
"For example, Max, the Thunderbringer, if he uses all his strength, he can use a terrifying thunderstorm with a range of more than 500, strong enough to melt steel. This is not a legend, as Max once used it against a ghoul siege and killed nearly 3,000 ghouls in one fell swoop, including 2 giant ghoul lords. ”
When Lawson heard this description, he thought it was incredible: "How is it possible for a thunderstorm that is more than a mile wide?" Even if his body was made of iron, it was impossible for him to withstand such a huge amount of mana consumption. ”
As an alchemist whose magic strength is close to three stars, when he has ready-made materials, he made 6 tungsten steel warheads and wasted his old strength, and the whole person almost collapsed. But summoning a thunderstorm with a range of one mile and the strength that can melt steel, the magic power consumed is thousands of times that of Lawson, and they are all people, so the gap is too big, right?
Lilith spread her hands, "I don't know. In fact, I have the same doubts as you. The magic gap is just too big, too big to make people desperate. ”
"What about the other great magicians?" Rosen asked.
"It's not as good as Max, but it's just as hopeless. In fact, I don't think those great magicians are human anymore, they are gods, otherwise, how could they have such terrifying powers? ”
Rosen felt more and more unimaginable: "Lilith, you are also a four-star magician, as long as you are promoted again, you will enter the realm of the great magician, don't you have a clue at all?" ”
In fact, when he was in the game, he felt that the power of the great magician was a little perverted, but because it was a game, he didn't delve into it, but now, this is a real real world, and the power that is so strong that it is against the sky is really incomprehensible.
It's like, there is a person who looks ordinary on the outside, and suddenly he can lift an aircraft carrier with his bare hands, which ...... If this is placed on Earth, it is not a great magician, it has to be changed to a superman.
Lilith looked dazed: "I really don't know. If hearsay is any clue, then I will tell you that everyone who can become a great magician is the lucky one who is favored by the gods. ”
Rosen couldn't help but spread his hands when he heard this, and his face was speechless, because this answer was meaningless.
"Forget it, don't worry about it, let's get out of here first."
Lawson put away the scroll, followed the clues left by the Flame Cultists, and walked all the way along the passage, and after walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something, activated the alchemy talent tree to check the harvest of killing the iron orc Richard.
'Currently have 0.7 free talent points?' Not bad. The third level of talent is electronic empowerment, and the fourth level is ...... Ring of Magic, hey, how come I haven't seen this talent in the game? ”
He immediately looked at the instructions for the Magic Ring.
Magic Ring (Broken)
Activation Requirements: 10 Free Talent Points.
Effect 1: Elemental Perception +500, Elemental Manipulation +2000.
Effect 2: The first part of the key to the promotion of the Grand Mage.
(Note: From this point on, the true meaning of magic will slowly be revealed.) )
"Hiss~"
Rosen subconsciously took a breath, feeling more and more incredible: "What's going on with this talent?" Have I already reached the bottleneck of being promoted to Grand Mage? But my strength hasn't improved much, and I'm much worse than Lilith in her prime. How did I reach the realm of the Great Magician? ”
He was puzzled, his thoughts spun around, and his mind subconsciously turned back to the incomprehensible infinite power of the Great Magician, and then thought of the Great Magician: "Lilith, do you know how many Great Magicians there are in the Academy? ”
"I know 12 of them."
"What about the whole continent?"
"There are 19 well-known, 12 in college, and 6 in Berkeley, the city of freedom. One is also wandering around and has no fixed place to live. "Lilith knows everything about the wizarding world.
"Then in terms of combat effectiveness, who is the most powerful?" Rosen asked.
Lilith thought for a moment and said, "This is not clear, everyone is afraid of each other." The power of Max, the Thunderbringer, is very violent, but the Pope of the Flame God Cult is not a vegetarian either. Although the sage Nia is not good at fighting head-on, she can predict future blessings and misfortunes, and it is said that she also has a magical magic called prophecy, which can determine life and death with one word...... Anyway, it's very mysterious, and it's said that all those who have seen it are dead. ”
"......." Rosen became more and more confused, and he shook his head, and once again took out the letter that Bishop Amran had written to Richard.
"The secret of the monster's body, the mystery of the great magician....... Monsters, Grand Magicians...... Is there any connection between the two? ”
For a moment, Rosen only felt that his thoughts were cloudy, as if he had walked into a labyrinth, and he had no clue at all.
After that, on the road, Lawson walked forward without saying a word, and his mind was always haunted by the reverie of the great magician.
After walking for more than an hour, after walking around a corner, there was a faint sound of running water in front of me, and the water vapor content in the air also increased a lot.
After a few hundred meters of further walking, there was a bright light in front of me, not the dim glow of candlelight, but the sunlight that came in.
"The exit ahead!"
Rosen was overjoyed, he quickened his pace, and after walking more than 50 meters, he heard a cacophony of people coming from the entrance of the passage, as well as the bells and trumpets that could often be heard on the pier.
"It's the wharf of the trade zone, and the blue water river is outside the exit!" Lilith couldn't help but shout.
God knows how gloomy her mood is when she is in the middle of the day, I don't know how many times, she is worried that Lawson will abandon her and escape alone, and she doesn't know how many times, she is afraid that the two of them will fall into the monster pile and become the monster's meal.
What made her even more desperate was that in the face of all this, she was completely powerless and could only passively accept it.
Now, they're finally out there!
Lilith's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lawson began to run as fast as he could, faster and faster.
After a few minutes, he ran to the exit, which had a spiral staircase, and after two or three laps of the steps, Rosen was standing on the dirt road of the dock area, surrounded by dock coolies, busy washerwomen, frolicking children, and the endless flow of freight wagons, and the occasional sound of sailors' sailings. The air wafts with the fishy smell that characterizes the docks.
Finally, they were back on the surface once again.
Rosen opened his arms and took a deep breath, feeling the whole world light up.
On his back, Lilith was lying on his shoulder, already with tears streaming down her face.
No matter how dangerous the process, no matter how desperate the road ahead, the young man did not leave her. He did his best, and finally fulfilled his original promise, a noble character that Lilith had never seen before.
If her parents created her body, now the young man redeems her soul, which once fell into the dust of the world. He convinces her that there is not just a deceit of interest in this world, but that there is real good, at least good for her.
She leaned into Rosen's ear and whispered, "Alchemist, thank you for saving me." ”
