Chapter 30: The Illusion After the Breakthrough

The Wetland Swamp is full of water vapor and the water element is very active, making it an excellent place for ice mages to cultivate, especially on this side of the Danmoro Mountains.

There seemed to be an invisible suction force in Ainan's place, a large amount of water elemental energy was constantly converging, and the pure elemental power washed over his body over and over again, impacting a certain barrier for him until the barrier shattered.

Table tennis...... Crash......

A quarter of an hour later, the crisp sound of the object shattering came from Ainan's body, and the water elementals that gathered together cheered and jumped with joy, as if they had done something terrible, and excitedly burrowed into Ainan's body, intersecting with the ice magic in his body, merging, and finally becoming one.

With a long exhale, the breath dissolved into a cloud of ice mist in the air after the breath left his body, and Ainan moved his body, which felt slightly stiff from holding one position for a long time.

"This is to break through to the middle level mage, and there is no difficulty at all."

If these words were heard by the mages who had taken years or even more than ten years to break through, Ainan would be beaten up 100% of the time.

Is it difficult for a low-level mage to break through to the mid-level?

If you don't have enough time to accumulate mana, you don't spend a lot of energy to condense your magic power, and you can break through to be called a ghost.

Speaking of which, this is just because Ainan's luck is too good and the starting point is too high, so he will have the illusion that it is easy to break through. The ice magic in his body is not ordinary, it comes from the power left in his body after the fall of an unknown pseudo-god, and later this sword was obtained by Sloan's ancestors before being presented to Ainan by Sloan after a thousand years, so there is the sorrow of Rune Demon Sword Frost.

The magic power from the false gods, even if Sloanan's ancestors didn't know how to maintain it, so that most of the essence in it was lost, Ainan only got a very small part, although the quantity was not high, but there was no difference in quality.

With the magic power of a pseudo-god as the foundation, Ainan only needs to accumulate enough amount to easily break through, and he doesn't not need not only sufficient magic power like other mages, but also has to condense his magic power to the point where he can impact the rank barrier, saving a lot of time.

That's why Ainan said that his promotion in magic would be fast enough to make other mages desperate, but only before the magic masters.

"Let's go back."

Greeting his makeshift guard, Reginade, Ainan turned back and headed for the valley.

When he broke through, Ainan was worried that it would cause elemental changes and bring unnecessary trouble to the civilians who were cultivating the valley, so he took Reginad out of the valley for several miles, and now that the breakthrough is complete, of course he has to go back.

Since Tarth was still gathering the outcasts in the Arathso Empire, and Ainan could not be without someone to convey his orders, Reginald temporarily took over Tarth's work.

Seeing Ainan leaving, he hurriedly followed, and secretly looked at Ainan with his eyes from time to time, wanting to see the difference between Ainan's breakthrough and before he didn't. Unfortunately, he was not a mage, and his knowledge of magic was almost zero, and he didn't see anything in the end.

After breaking through to the middle level of mage, Ainan's spirit was much sharper, and Reginald's self-thought hidden gaze did not escape his perception.

"You're curious?"

"Ah, it's not." Reginald subconsciously denied it, but he quickly lowered his head under Ainan's gaze, "Yes, I'm curious about what it feels like for the mage to break through. ”

Ainan thought for a moment: "Don't think of mages as so mysterious, warriors rely on skilled martial arts and strong bodies to fight, and mages use the magic of spiritual mobilization and the elements gathered under the magic power. After the breakthrough, you will feel that your spirit has risen to a new level, your perception of the elements will be keen, and you will be more handy in using them, and you will have the illusion that you can't do anything, you can do whatever you want, and you are invincible in the world. ”

Yes, it's just an illusion, an illusion that comes from entering a new level.

Reginald didn't answer.

Invincible?

Only a big man like you would say that, and he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

It's not that Reginald is arrogant, and it's not that he even looks down on himself, but he understands that sometimes people really can't compare. He was an ordinary soldier, and Ainan was a promising mage, and people looked up to him as a guard to help with errands. Reginald felt that his current situation was similar to that of his father's ancestors, who had helped the big people and finally gained appreciation for entering the aristocracy, and if it had not been for the fall of his grandfather's generation, he would have been able to call himself a noble lord at this time.

Therefore, this is a good opportunity to revitalize the family, and we must seize it and not let it slip away.

Secretly clenched his fists, Reginald cheering himself up.

Originally, Regginad's current position was held by Tarth, but Tarth is now collecting displaced people for Ainan in the Araso Empire to increase the population of the city, and Reginald has the opportunity to work beside Ainam.

After going out for so long, Tass also came out with results.

Two days ago, Ainan received news that Tath had taken the 50,000 displaced people who were moved by him to the wetland swamp, and if Ainan hadn't felt that his breakthrough was imminent, he would not have just asked Sloanan to bring people there, but would have personally gone to pick them up.

With those 50,000 people, although it is still not enough to fill the city in the heart of the mountain, it can also alleviate the problem of labor shortage in the city. Ainan can close the mine and let the undead under his control mine mine inside, and order people to go to the mine entrance at a fixed time to retrieve the ore, but he can't pull the undead outside to reclaim the wasteland.

If you really want to do that, you have to cause panic.

After all, the time that the people in the city have followed Ainan is too short, and Ainan's prestige has not really penetrated into the hearts of the people, and it can't be done to the point of making others blindly obey. If it takes a longer period of time, such as a year or two or three or five years, the situation will be different.

"The furnace has been repaired, the first ore has been put in, and the blacksmiths expect to produce the first batch of equipment in a month, which can equip two squads."

It took a whole month from the opening of the furnace to the completion of the equipment casting, and all he got was the equipment of the two squads, which was so inefficient that Ainan shook his head. This is not to say that the melting pot is not good, in fact, more than ninety percent of the time is spent on forging equipment.

Speaking of which, it is still a human problem, relying on less than ten blacksmiths to build equipment, and the efficiency is not high.

Seeing that Ainan didn't speak, Reginard continued to report: "Captain Marcus said that the first stage of the recruit's training has been completed, only two have been eliminated, and those who remain need to organize sparring to continue to improve, but in this way, someone will be injured, and he needs to order someone to collect herbs." ”

"Tell Marcus, let him do it, I want the troops to have combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time. By the way, is there any movement in the Sadol River? ”

"According to the scouts, the Jazz have returned to the valley and the harvest shouldn't be great. Also, some of the knight's retinue were wounded. ”

Ainan stopped: "What harvest is not very good, it was driven out by someone, otherwise how could there be an entourage injured." Tol Bain is fast enough, but I like it. ”
