Chapter Eighty-Six: Precipitation
With all the equipment in place, Ron devoted almost all of his time to the lab.
The study of Echo of Truth consumes far more experimental materials than Ron imagined, this is an immature system, so every step of Ron's progress seems to be extremely difficult, this difficulty is not only the investment of time, but also the consumption of materials, even if Ron is only researching the first level of Echo of Truth.
If it weren't for the very detailed experimental data of the True Eye, Ron alone might never have been able to get out of the labyrinth of this new power system.
By the time Ron had almost exhausted the huge amount of materials he had acquired in his first trade and the materials he had exchanged for in the Tower of Nightmares, time had been pushed back a month again.
In addition to taking the time to perfect the two potion recipes, the storage ring was once again filled with blue star algae and azure stones, and this time it only took three days for Theos, who had already prepared, to prepare the materials that Ron needed.
Theos's shock at Ron's accumulation of wealth had been replaced by the shock at the rate at which his materials were being consumed, and he couldn't believe what kind of research Ron was doing to allow him to consume the entire net worth of a full-fledged wizard in just one month.
Ron never revealed his research direction to anyone, and Theos had no way to guess, and even though he was full of curiosity, Theos still adhered to their tacit agreement with each other, that is, they would never ask anything that should not be asked, unless Ron took the initiative to talk about it.
As time went on, Theos occasionally communicated with Ron, and through the length of Ron's reply and the change of words, he noticed a hint of clues.
That is, Ron seemed to be in a better mood, perhaps his experiment had made a breakthrough, Theos thought.
Ron, who smiled at a new echo of truth, of course, did not know that Theos could be keenly aware of the progress of his experiment through such subtle changes.
With the consumption of materials worth dozens of magic crystals and months of almost sleepless experiments, Ron finally found inspiration in Karpass's experiment journal and opened the door to the study of Echo of Truth, instead of reproducing the materials inherited in Echo of Truth step by step, as he did before.
After months of investment, it was condensed into a cropped demonized sea shark skin on the test bench, which is a very good energy carrier, and if used to make a witchcraft scroll, such a complete demonized sea shark skin can be used to draw a first-order witchcraft.
If it was a complete demonized sea shark skin, it would cost more than 50,000 magic crystals, and because it came from the ocean, it was often a priceless treasure in ordinary transactions.
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to hunt the demonized sea shark, if it were not for the combination of Marais and the octopus kraken, it would be difficult for Ron to find such a fine sea shark skin, for this kind of demonized sea shark whose strength is not weaker than the octopus kraken, the effect of ocean domination is very limited, and the similar strength gap between the two means that it can completely get rid of the domination of the octopus kraken, and if you want to capture it, you can only rely on strength.
This priceless demonized sea shark skin has a number of strange and simple shapes of unknown meaning linked together, which are simpler than the witch circle, but different from any known wizard script.
However, these simple symbols are the crystallization of civilization that Ron finally obtained after spending a lot of magic crystals and time.
Ordinary people may not notice the strangeness of these patterns when they see them, but in the eyes of those apprentices who have come into contact with the power of wizards, every line of it is filled with a wordless beauty, and they will marvel at this beauty, but they cannot describe why it is so beautiful.
Only a formal wizard would see in these motifs what Ron was expressing.
That's power!
Ron disassembles the Echo of Truth into a myriad of the most basic functional units, which he then uses to construct the basic Echo of Truth.
This is an echo of the truth composed of one hundred and seventy-six functional units, and its only function is to add strength alone, if converted into more intuitive data, it is a three-point five power bonus.
Anyone who blesses this Echo of Truth will receive a 3.5 power bonus.
This is true for ordinary people, for apprentices, for official wizards, and even for its Marais and the Octopus Siren.
And the only requirement for loading this Truth Echo is the strength of the body, activating this Truth Echo will also absorb the energy in the body, this kind of absorption is difficult for ordinary people to bear, but the apprentice can, at least Ron's current physical strength can withstand four to five pairs of this primary-level truth echo at the same time.
This means that Ron will no longer be in the same predicament as he was before when he harnesses the power of the Truth Echo.
At this moment, Ron is no longer stunned when he has just entered the wizarding world, he knows what kind of sensation such an echo of truth will cause if it spreads, so when he has enough strength to protect himself, this echo of truth will never be seen by anyone, or by any living person.
Ron made a simple sign in the lower right corner of the Echo of Truth—First Order Power—and left a unique symbol underneath the sign, which is an ancient Hebrew word beloved by ancient wizards, meaning "truth."
Ron used the magic box to collect this Echo of Truth, such a first-level Echo of Truth, if you don't count the materials consumed for failure, the cost of materials is about 800 magic crystals, Ron believes that if he takes this Echo of Truth to sell, its transaction price will definitely not be lower than 5000 magic crystals, because it is too widely in demand.
The strength bonus of 3.5 may not be worth mentioning for a full-time professional, but for anyone who has not yet advanced, it is a level of strength leap, and this is true for legal apprentices, and even more so for combat apprentices.
The completion of the first work made Ron feel like a spring of inspiration, even though he had been working for twenty hours in a row, he still did not feel the slightest tiredness, and under the effect of physical strength and concentrating potions, Ron always maintained a state of physical excitement and sanity.
Ron forced himself to stop, drawing the Echo of Truth is a high-intensity activity, both mentally and physically exhausting, at Ron's current speed, such a first-order Echo of Truth, even if there are no mistakes, requires nearly ten hours of concentrated work, any small mistake will make all the work undone, behind the success of this Echo of Truth, there are seventeen failed works.
Ron fell asleep on the bed of the experiment, although the physical strength potion and the congeniting potion can suppress and relieve the fatigue of the body, but the body is not a machine after all, only the surface of the water can make the tightened body recover slightly.
Unbeknownst to Ron, who was asleep, two uninvited guests had arrived in the town of Brador, five days earlier, and at this moment, their patience had been exhausted by the continuous waiting.
