In the space of three months, the Sea of Stars has developed by leaps and bounds, but in contrast to this, Norman's own strength has stagnated.

He is still in a state of unity.

His ** is still no different from ordinary people, and his mental power can't launch spells, and even the total amount of his mental power is not much different from three months ago.

After all, the Knights Templar only studied the Heart Sutra of the Sea and the Heart Sutra of the Funeral Sun from a theoretical point of view, and did not practice it themselves, so they did not know when Norman's state of affairs would end. However, thankfully, although the total amount of his mental power has not increased, his strength has increased.

This is what he felt from the pressure in the live broadcast room.

In the past three months, as the construction of the Sea of Stars has progressed, the number of viewers in Norman's live broadcast room has also risen, and those viewers seem to be very interested in this kind of content, especially Norman has added a large number of earth elements, which makes them have a strong sense of identity and substitution, and they are even more interested.

In addition, Norman also adopted a lot of barrage opinions in the process of building the Sea of Stars, which undoubtedly made the audience in the live broadcast room more engaged, and the result was that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room continued to climb to new highs, and it has already broken the original online record, and has been able to maintain 3 million viewers online at the same time.

According to Norman's original mental power, the Knights Templar estimated that the barrage of 2 million spectators should be the upper limit of his mental power, and the figure of 3 million was already more than the upper limit of his mental power, which would make him miserable, but this did not happen.

Even if Norman was attacked by a barrage of more than 3 million viewers, he was still very relaxed, which shows that although the total amount of his mental power has not increased, his strength has increased.

This can be illustrated by an analogy: if Norman's original total mental power was 500 and the density was 1, then now his total mental power is still 500, but the density has become 3, or even higher, so he can withstand high-intensity spiritual attacks with the same total mental power.

This is probably the reason why there is such a method equivalent to masochism in the Heart Sutra, because its original purpose is actually a cultivation method.

It's just that no matter how strong Norman's mental power is now, he still can't launch spells after all, and the spiritual power that has been solidified into a ball can't drive the magic power into the magic hub, so Norman is still equivalent to an ordinary person now.

In a place like the Sea of Stars, where it can be said that everyone is a knight and a mage is not as good as a dog, as their leader, but just an ordinary person, this is undoubtedly quite dangerous and very likely to be counterattacked, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Norman's current situation is walking a tightrope.

Once the fact that he was actually just an ordinary person was revealed, Norman didn't know what the other people's reaction would be: whether they would support him as always, or whether they would imprison him, no one could say, and Norman didn't want to bet on their loyalty. So as long as he doesn't regain his strength for a day, he will continue to pretend to be a ghost.

"The magic of the Sea of Stars is too much in demand. ”

Norman remained silent and didn't look back, "Even if I join, after all, I will be weak, and the magic power I can provide will not be much more than what you combined, and at most it can only support two or three days, but it will only cure the symptoms but not the root cause." If we really want to solve this problem, we must finally include the whole people in this system, which is the real way to cure the problem. ”

Norman's words were as steady as ever, and he couldn't hear the slightest bit of emptiness, and what he said was the same as the truth.

"Besides, the situation is unstable now, Hiham has noticed our existence, rather than devoting this bit of strength to this kind of palliative action, it is better to survive to deal with the battle that will suddenly break out at any time, after all, Hiam still has a few white-robed mages in it, with your current strength, it is not easy to deal with them. ”

Norman spoke comprehensively, and Xiu couldn't find any flaws, especially the white-robed mage that Norman said, which shocked his heart.

As for Hiam, they are no longer as ignorant as they were when they first came to the Valley of Thorns, and the addition of a large number of foreign races has made them more and more aware of Hiam's situation.

Hiham is an extraterritorial, as it is known to the outside world, but what outsiders don't know is that there is also order within Hiham.

Hiam occupies a huge area, and all kinds of races in the city are mixed, including humans, barbarians, orcs, elves, etc., and I heard that there are even dragons living in seclusion! There are so many creatures of different races living in it, if there is no order to fight all day long, I am afraid that Hiam will not exist for a long time, and the order of Hiam is jointly established and maintained by the three forces in Hiam.

These three forces are the orc forces led by Zacharia, the elven forces led by Naomi, and the barbarian forces led by Paget, and the so-called orc forces, elf forces, etc., do not mean that these races are the only ones among these three forces.

In Hiam, all races have been mixed for more than a thousand years, so there is no pure racial strength, the so-called orc forces, elf forces, etc., just to say that these forces are headed by these races, for example, in the orc forces led by Zacharia, a big leader is the elves, and the most basic force of the elven forces led by Naomi is actually humans, and among the barbarian forces led by Pagett, I heard that there are dragons!

I heard that each of the three major forces has white-robed mages, and there are even some white-robed mages living in seclusion in Hiham, usually silent, and only when foreign enemies invade.

In the end, he has been operating and cultivating on this land for thousands of years, and Hiam's overall strength is not comparable to the Sea of Stars that has only been established for three months, not to mention anything else, just a few white-robed mages are enough to make the Sea of Stars bigger, so Hiham is also a thorn that has always hung in the heart of cultivation, both sides live in the Valley of Thorns, and with the expansion of the Sea of Stars, they may meet each other one day.

Now that Norman has moved Hiam out, he has hit the soft underbelly of Xiu's heart.

"That's what you're saying. ”

Xiu is no longer entangled in this issue, "Compared to you, my vision is still too short-sighted. ”

Norman's tone was very loud, as if he could resist several white robes alone, which made people incomprehensible, but Xiu only hoped that what he said was true now.

So his little caution was extinguished before it could burn.

Norman stayed here for a while, taking in the details of every aspect of the Magic Hub, and after making sure that everything was okay, he left.

He took Atramicia all the way out of the Ministry of Magic, and instead of going to the House of Lords, he went straight to another house by the pond.

This was his residence, and as the Supreme Leader, he was certainly qualified to live in this best part of the pond.

At this time, a small three-story building, the whole body is made of complete rocks, the interior decoration is exquisite, and there are all kinds of study bedrooms.

Norman sat in the study for a long time, without speaking, until it was completely dark.

He didn't light the lamp, he just sat there, not knowing what he was thinking.

Atramicia stood beside him as usual.

She spoke less than Norman, Norman didn't speak, she didn't speak, the two of them were like two stone sculptures sitting and standing, just silent in the study.

Eventually, a voice pierced the silence in the study.

"What level of mage are you now?"

This is Norman's voice.

There were only two people in the room, and even if he didn't have a name, it wasn't hard to know who he was saying this to.

Atramithea didn't answer right away, and remained silent.

If you were a mage from the outside world, you would also not know how to answer Norman's question, but the reason why Atramicia and them were silent was different: the reason why those mages from the outside world didn't know how to answer this question was because Norman's question itself was problematic.

How many levels of mages?

What is the problem?

If you want to ask about the strength level of a mage, the normal questioning process should be to ask what kind of mage the other party is.

But that's in the outside world, in the Sea of Stars, that's what I asked.

The Sea of Stars has its own system of mage ratings.

Like the new magic system, which has been freed from the shackles of the human magic system, the Knights Templar have also set up a new mage rating system for these mages under the new magic system.

Under this new mage rating system, the mage level is also divided into mage levels based on three aspects: magic power, spiritual power, and knowledge level of ancient languages, but unlike the church, the new mage rating system also adds the evaluation of actual combat effectiveness, and there are differences between the two in specific operations.

The biggest difference is in the measurement of the magic.

How big is a mage's sea of magic power, only the mage himself knows, so if the outside world wants to test the upper limit of the mage's magic power, it is often judged through some more intuitive ways, such as how many level 1 spells he can cast at one time, how many levels of spells he can cast at most, and so on.

This method can indeed roughly determine the upper limit of a mage's magic power, but it is not accurate enough, and it is easy to deceive, because the division of spell levels in the church's spell system itself has problems: it is also a first-level spell, some spells require 15 square magic to cast, and some spells only need 07 square magic power to cast.

If there is a mage's upper limit of magic power is 1 party, he chooses to cast the spell that consumes 15 square magic during the assessment, and he will not be able to pass the assessment, but if he chooses to cast the spell of the 07 square, he will be able to pass the assessment, this is the lax of the old-fashioned human spell rating system, and it is also easy to deceive, but when it comes to the new mage rating system, it is different.

The new mage rating system no longer uses indirect spells such as casting spells, but directly measures the upper limit of a mage's mana.

Norman's use of the hybrid material used on the Mana Hub to show the mana capacity of the mana pool plays a key role, and the entire rating process mimics how the mana pool works.

Rating agencies have a special set of magic measurement tools, which is a variant of the magic pool.

After the mana test begins, the test subject will input their mana into the mana measurement tool, and the mixed material on the measuring tool will sense the entry of mana, which will produce a color-changing reaction, and finally accurately measure the total amount of mana entered by the tester.

As long as the total amount of mana you input in one breath exceeds the standard line of mana of the mage level you want to pass, it proves that the upper limit of mana you have is up to the mage mana standard of this level, then you will pass the mage assessment of that level in the mana.

Instead of using a reference object, this method of measurement directly measures the total amount of mana in the subject's body, which is much more accurate and reliable than the old one.

As for the tests of mental strength and the level of the ancient language, Norman mainly followed the church's set, and there was not much room for improvement in this area.

Finally, in terms of the hierarchy of mages, Norman made the biggest change.

He no longer uses black, red, blue, and white grades to divide mage levels, but has changed to levels like first, second, and third.

The imbalance in the hierarchy of mages in the church was one of the things Norman felt most in his experience of more than a year.

They are very meticulously divided into mage levels such as black robes and red robes, but when they reach the stage of blue robes and white robes, they are roughly divided, and the higher the level of strength, the more blurred the division becomes, especially in the white robes, the strength gap between the four-star white robe and the one-star white robe is larger than the gap between the black robe and the blue robe, not to mention the level of the four-star white robe, which is the most ambiguous mage level area.

The best examples of this are Norman and Stanley.

Norman and Stanley before the unified state are also four-star white robes, but the gap between the two is completely different, and it is not a big problem for Norman before the unified state to fight two Stanleys at the same time, but according to the level of the church's mages, they are both four-star white robes.

The new mage rating system is aimed at this problem, mainly based on the upper limit of magic power, combined with the number of spells mastered by the target, spell power, etc., weighted calculation, the mage level has been divided in more detail, which also involves the Templar Knights' redone spell rating system based on the database, which will not be detailed here.

In this new rating system, the first level is almost equivalent to a one-star black robe, the second level is equivalent to a two-star black robe, the third level is equivalent to a three-star black robe, and the fifth level is only equivalent to a one-star red robe.

According to this rating system, based on the Templar Order's data, Stanley is about 28 mages, and Norman before normalization should be 38 mages.

The new rating system has succeeded in showing the overall gap between the two, and it is relatively reliable for now.

And Atrimithia, who was in the study, was silent for a long time, and finally reported a number.

"Level 12. ”
