Chapter 56: Strengthening the Elements
When Wren and Roger returned to the hotel, the blood on their bodies was dry and uncomfortable.
After washing in the room, I was finally refreshed.
It was the second half of the night, and even the people who had been playing cards all night in the hotel had almost slept, but Wren was very energetic and did not feel the slightest sleep.
He lay on the bed, thinking about the battle over and over again.
The biggest gain tonight is the increase in soul power, and the power has more than doubled!
Recently, I've been meditating for a few days, and my soul power has improved, and my power has increased by about one bar.
This is already considered a high meditation efficiency, but compared to directly absorbing the soul, it is like a turtle crawling, which is extremely slow.
Looking at the 31% power, it is easier to improve the strength than expected, if you can come a few more times, the power will soon be fully charged, reach the second level, and fuse the new demon soul again.
He rolled over and stood in front of the mirror to observe his soul.
The World Tree in the soul is obviously taller than before, and the trunk is also much thicker, and the vitality is infinite.
Wren's attention fell on the three pale golden leaves, each with an elemental rune representing "Strength", "Body of Steel", and "Metallic Touch".
The three elements have also changed slightly, the leaves have become wider, and the rune patterns have become clearer.
However, they all seem to be far from re-intensifying.
At the same time, Wren opened the phone's Unreal interface and found three icons corresponding to the elements. Since the success of the soul transformation, the new abilities and elements obtained will be displayed in the mobile phone.
The same is true for the elements that fuse demon souls.
It was the first time he had looked closely at the icons of the three elements, side by side, the abstract icons almost identical to the runes on the leaves.
Because all three elements are resident, they are always on.
"Huh, what is this?"
Wren suddenly discovered that the two elements, strength and steel body, had a horizontal line under the icon, which he had ignored before because it was too small.
The horizontal line is the same length as the width of the icon, gray overall, and a small section at the left end is green, like some kind of scale.
Wren recognized it at a glance.
"Progress bar?"
He immediately focused his mind on the "power" element, and the icon was slightly enlarged in front of him, so that he could see it clearly, and the horizontal line was the progress bar.
Moreover, a small number "2" appears on the progress bar.
The Body of Steel element only has a progress bar, no numbers.
With such a comparison of differences, Wren understands that this "2" represents that the strength element has been strengthened once, while the Iron Body has not been strengthened.
He recalled the content of the Book of Thousand Souls, physical elements are generally strengthened by their own training, or by merging the same elements to superimpose and strengthen, and if they are successfully strengthened once, the level will be increased by one level.
Arcane elements can be invested in soul power to increase power, called ring number, from one ring to nine rings.
The ability type elements are the most special, physical strength and soul power can be activated and used, but they can't be actively strengthened, and only have a chance to increase during each soul transformation ritual, and there is neither a level nor a ring number.
When Wren got the power element, he had already strengthened it once, and now it is a second-level "power", which is still a normal element.
The body of steel is still a first-class, but it is a supernatural element.
Metallic touch is a rarity, but because it's an ability, it doesn't even have a progress bar.
He carefully observed the two progress bars, and found that the progress of both strength and steel was very low, probably less than one-twentieth, and it was still far from being upgraded.
"Is it so hard to upgrade the elements?"
Wren scratched his head and focused on the icon for a few seconds, when suddenly, an upward transparent arrow appeared next to the icon, which looked like a button.
He subconsciously chose the arrow of the steel body, and his mind fell.
There was an immediate change in the soul, and the entire World Tree trembled, and from under the root of the tree, colorful energy flowed along the trunk, to the only branch, and finally into the leaf with the element of the body of steel.
The leaves glowed golden, and the elemental runes on them became clearer and clearer.
On the phone interface, under the icon representing the body of steel, the progress bar is moving forward with difficulty.
"It can be so strengthened!"
Wren was overjoyed and immediately noticed that the phone's battery was dropping, and it was extremely fast, consuming almost one bar of power every second.
In just a few seconds, the battery level dropped to 25%, however, the progress bar of the Iron Body did not increase much.
"I'll go!"
"The consumption of enhancement elements is too much, right?"
Wren sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped.
He could feel the slight changes in his body, and it seemed to harden a little more when he activated the steel body. The body has become stronger and the strength has also increased, which can be seen in the progress bar of the "strength" element, and the two complement each other.
"It's good to have an improvement, but it's too costly......"
Wren looked at the 25% power, and only felt a headache, obviously these power are different from the usual consumption, and it will not automatically rise back after resting.
Of course, the drop in power is not because the soul has become weak, but because the soul power has been transferred and integrated into the body, the overall soul strength is still the same, and the world tree, which represents the power of the soul, has not shrunk.
Six grids of electricity are really insignificant to the improvement of the steel body.
After careful comparison, he found that the progress of the Iron Body had only increased by about 3%, which meant that even if a hundred blocks of electricity were now used to strengthen the Iron Body, the progress bar would only increase by half!
With a full battery level, you can upgrade to a second-level wizard.
Wren was speechless, finally understanding how difficult it was for the supernatural element to be strengthened.
He thought about it for a moment and decided to try the strengthening element, pressing the arrow next to the strength icon, the power immediately dropped wildly, and the leaf with the strength element began to glow.
The progress bar at the bottom of the chart is moving at a speed visible to the naked eye, rising significantly faster than the Iron Body.
Five seconds later, the charge dropped to 20% and Wren stopped again.
He estimated that these five grids of power would increase the progress bar by about one-tenth, that is, only 50% of the power would be needed to increase the power to the third level.
Compared to the Iron Body, it is much easier to strengthen the strength.
Wren felt his strength grow a little stronger, and he got up to get the hammer, which was held more easily in his hand than before, and the weight was just right.
"Not bad, not bad. ”
Wren put down the hammer satisfied, and increased the strength element first when he had the opportunity in the future.
As for the Iron Body, wait until you have surplus soul power before thinking about it, for now, you still have to raise the level of the wizard and fuse more demon souls.
After consuming a lot of soul power, his body became stronger, but his brain was a little tired, and Wren fell asleep without tossing anymore.
I didn't sleep for a few hours before dawn.
Wren got up as usual to meditate, and then went to the back yard to exercise.
The increase in strength was immediate, and the two thousand-pound pieces of iron became a little lighter, but he quickly adapted to the strengthened body and sweated like rain.
Halfway through practice, Wren heard footsteps coming in.
"Is that you?"
It was Pollock, and his face was very surprised, no wonder he thought that the transcendent with the hammer was a little familiar last night, he had seen it before.
Wren put down the iron in his hand and beckoned, "Captain Pollock." ”
"I remember, your name is Wren, right?" Pollock couldn't help but look Wren up and down.
In just a few weeks, Wren has changed too much, not only has he grown half a head taller, his body has also become stronger and stronger, and his temperament has changed dramatically.
If it weren't for his good memory, he almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
"Wren, have you become a transcendent?"
When Pollock saw the 2,000-pound piece of iron at Wren's feet, he actually wanted to ask Wren what kind of extraordinary profession he was, and his strength was so terrifying.
As a fourth-level ranger, he couldn't pick up any of this thousand-pound piece of iron.
"Yes. Wren nodded slightly and asked, "Captain Pollock, are you here to find Master Roger?"
"That's right, it's Master Roger's bounty. Pollock, who had just inquired in the inn and knew that the legendary witcher lived in the courtyard at the back, picked up a bag in his hand, made a sound of gold coins colliding, and asked, "Is the master there?"
Wren looked back at Roger's room, and there were two voices coming from inside, and De Lerza was also there, obviously inconvenient to come out now.
So he said, "Master Roger hasn't woken up yet, you may have to wait." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Without the slightest impatience, Pollock looked at Wren and took the initiative to invite, "Wren, are you free now?" ”
"Good. Wren also happened to have something to ask the other party, "You go to the lobby first, and I'll clean it up." ”
Soon after, the two sat down at a table in the corner of the hotel lobby.
Pollock lit a cigar on his mouth, took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke, and said seriously: "Wren, we cleaned up that vampire lair last night, and we have almost found it. ”
"That high-level vampire is the owner of the clothing store, usually very well disguised, and has been lurking in Longshande for many years, killing at least three hundred civilians, many disappearances were done by them, and we have been tracking them for a long time, but their movements are very hidden, and they only attack the slums, so they don't pay attention to it. ”
"If it weren't for you, I don't know how many would have been poisoned by the devil, and you saved many lives. ”
Pollock's eyes were filled with respect.
Wren shook his head and said, "It's all the credit of Master Roger, I just went with him, and I didn't make much effort." ”
"You don't have to be humble. Pollock laughed, "Those blood servants, and two ordinary vampires were all killed by you, and I still have this kind of eyesight." ”
Wren didn't argue, the features left by Warhammer killings were too obvious.
Pollock didn't mention the vampire again, but asked with some curiosity, "Wren, how did you get to know Master Roger?"
Wren replied half-truthfully: "It's just that they all happened to be staying at the Basil Inn, and Master Roger needed help last night, so he called me." ”
"yes, you're in luck. Pollock clearly didn't quite believe Wren's words.
He has been mixed with Longshande for so many years, and he is still the captain of the Demon Eradication Bureau, and he has never even seen a few legends, and Wren has just become a transcendent, and he actually has a relationship with a legendary powerhouse, to say that he is not envious, it is self-deception.
Any Legend is eligible to enter the Imperial Council, at the pinnacle of Imperial power.
The name of this Master Roger, Pollock had never heard of before, but he did not dare to take it lightly, it was not uncommon for such a low-key legend to be, but he was just unheard.
Wren took two sips of beer and asked casually, "Captain Pollock, do you usually have a heavy task for the demon slaying team?"
