Today may be the busiest day in the Douala City Lord's Mansion in recent years.

The main hall on the first floor of the castle is located on the middle line of the castle and is the largest space in the castle.

In the past, the main hall was used mainly for balls and grand dinners, but now many servants are busy walking through it, doing their final work.

The servants began to arrange it a day in advance, but because the main hall was too big, they had only now finally arranged the main hall to the appearance that the lord wanted: the floor was covered with a thick carpet, which was soft and comfortable to look at, and under the care of the servants, the gap between the spliced carpets was completely imperceptible without careful inspection, as if it were a whole piece; the main hall was rectangular, and a row of tables and chairs were placed at the inner end of the main hall, which were surrounded in a circle; in the center of the main hall, there was a large open space, clean and tidy; and at the outer end of the corresponding outside side of the main hall, a small platform half a leg high was erected, which was very spaciousThere are already a number of chairs on it, also in a roughly circular shape in the direction of the central clearing, and a musical instrument is placed in front of each chair......

This is the scene of this dance competition held in the City Lord's Mansion.

Originally, this was just to choose a dance teacher for the daughter of the city lord, but for the big aristocratic family, there is no trivial matter to the outside, so it is natural to arrange it to show the majesty of the city lord's mansion in Douala.

As the time approached, the final inspection was completed, and the servants slowly stepped down under the command of the butler and were replaced by a wave of attendant servants to serve on the spot.

Compared with the previous wave of servants who arranged the scene, the current wave of servants who came in was obviously strictly selected, and both in terms of clothing and mental outlook were much stronger than the previous wave, which well demonstrated the majesty and nobility of the Douala City Lord's Mansion.

After all the servants who were on the scene entered the venue, the second wave entered the arena with a wave of dignified people.

There are men and women, old and young, the old ones look to be in their fifties and sixties, and the few look like they may not be adults.

After they came in from one side of the main hall, they went straight to the small high platform at the other end of the main hall. They had already gone through several rehearsals, so there was no panic when they took their seats, and they were seated very smoothly.

The musicians had apparently been invited from outside, and when they sat down, they did not say a word quietly like the servants in the city lord's mansion, but exchanged words with each other.

However, they who can be invited to the City Lord's Mansion to help perform are obviously not rough people in the market, although many of them are talking and laughing from ear to ear, and their voices are very consciously low.

"Originally, I thought that I would definitely be on my way home today, but I didn't expect it to be still in Douala, money...... Sometimes I feel like I'm really cheesy. ”

"Well, living in this world, many things are indeed unavoidable. And wasn't it 'the 'one' that finally made you decide to come here?"

"It's true that it's not easy to get together so many people, especially since I heard that one of us has performed with 'that band' before!"

"No, I'm not right, I'm not going to hear that he's just seen 'that orchestra' live......?"

Several people chatted, and one of them suddenly lowered his voice even more, and laughed in a low voice: "Hey, don't talk about this, it is said that this daughter of Lord Aubrey is called the 'Northland Rose', and it is said that even the second prince is fascinated by her, has any of you seen her true face? Is it really so beautiful?"

Someone next to him immediately answered, and sighed with a leisurely expression: "I was lucky enough to see it the year before last." This young lady's name is Shannie Campbell, and I have to say that Miss Shannie is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life, and it seems to me that the use of 'Northland Rose' to describe her beauty is insufficient, and she was not yet an adult, and she has not fully bloomed, and now I believe that she will be even more beautiful. ”

But immediately some people questioned the letter: "No, right? What you said is too exaggerated, I think you haven't seen too many beautiful women." ”

The person who sighed immediately became anxious: "Have I seen fewer beauties over the years?" Forget it, I won't tell you more, when she comes, you will know it yourself." ”

......

Not long after all the musicians were seated, as soon as the main door opened, today's host's family began to enter the arena - I have to say that for an old aristocratic family with a background like the Campbell family, there are still a lot of rules.

Among the crowd that came in through the main entrance, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Senni, who was in second place, being guided by the butler to the main seat.

This already beautiful woman is still carefully dressed today, beautiful and incomprehensible, shining between Gu and Pan, and the occasional smile is instantly beautiful, and the sunlight around her is eclipsed by this contrast.

The musician, who was still questioning the beauty of the city lord's daughter, couldn't move his eyes at this moment, and completely stuck to Shanni, until she walked towards the main seat, and the person behind her covered her figure, and then he came to his senses and muttered, "Beautiful, so beautiful......"

The orchestra, which had been whispering just now, was also completely quiet at the moment, and both men and women seemed to be shocked by the beauty of this young lady.

When the group reached the main seat, they sat down in turn, with Senny sitting first on the left hand side of the main seat, Shival sitting first on the right hand side of the main seat, and Norman on the left side of Shanny.

"Who is that?"

"This lady ...... It's really not quite like here. ”

"It's a country woman! It's so strange to sit there. ”

"Look, Miss Senny is talking and laughing with her! Is she Miss Shanny......'s friend?"

The people in the orchestra looked across the middle space, whispering, and saying everything—because Norman's current form of a country woman was too abrupt in this solemn and elegant hall.

Even if the country woman had deliberately added some clothes to herself, such as adding some flower petals to her shoulders and head, and earrings on her ears to decorate, those cheap and obtrusive things would only show her misplace, and she was a vivid sample of a country bun entering the big city.

However, some people expressed their opinions from another angle: "I didn't expect Miss Senny to be not only beautiful, but also admirable and approachable. In the case of you and me, who would be willing to stoop down to make such a friend, and bring her to such an important occasion, without disliking her and embarrassing herself?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around them fell silent, and then the more they thought about it, the more it happened.

In addition to her physical beauty, they also felt admiration and admiration for Shanny's character at the moment, and several of them were still young men who had put the beautiful young lady in front of them in the position of their perfect lover......

Norman, who was in the center of these people's gazes, was now coping with the conversation of the Sennie next to him, and at the same time meditating to generate magic.

If it were in the past, when he was distracted by meditation like this, the expansion rate of the mana pool was relatively slow, and it often took a day to see some changes - he could see the changes in his mana pool every day, which was already very terrifying for other mages.

But Norman is even more terrifying now:

Almost every dozen breaths, he could see that his mana pool had changed slightly, expanding its capacity!

His mana pool is rapidly expanding at a terrifying speed that can be seen by his heart!

The source of this scene is his subtitle galaxy: if you enter Norman's meditation space at the moment, you can see that the subtitle galaxy in Norman's meditation space is shaking rapidly, and the starlight in the sky is constantly floating to the ground as if it is snowing!

Light snow fell all over the sky.

This was even more terrifying than Norman's previous preoccupation with meditation! What was even more terrifying was that under this violent concussion, Norman had no signs of mental failure or cease for a long time.

He seemed to have a lot of spare power, and this situation could last for a long time.

19 squares, 19 squares, 19 squares...... 20 squares, 20 squares, 20 square ......

Under Norman's rough visual inspection, the capacity of his mana pool was rapidly expanding in this situation, and he was soon approaching the index of a level 5 spell!

According to this trend, it is very likely that he will be able to complete the accumulation of mana from a two-star red robe to a three-star red robe in just one day today......

How many mages are stuck in the realm of two-star red robes and can't break through in a lifetime, but Norman can do it in one day!

This is due to Norman alone, and if the other mages knew, they would definitely wonder if their meditation had been cultivated on dogs.

Norman enjoyed the feeling now, and the feeling of his own strength increasing at a speed visible to his eyes made him very comfortable, and the source of all this was his mental strength.

If you enter Norman's spiritual world, you will find that Norman's current mental power is very coarse, and in terms of the total amount, it has almost tripled compared to the previous rough visual inspection!

In other words, Norman's total mental power is now almost three times that of before, which is why he will not get tired of shaking the subtitles crazily in a distracted situation.

Norman faintly felt that his current mental strength might even have touched the level of a white-robed mage, but he didn't have the tools to quantify it at hand, and he didn't know if his guess was accurate.

As for why it was only one night, Norman's mental power had undergone earth-shaking changes, skyrocketing like a rocket, all from last night.

......

Norman had thought very well last night that he wanted to make another breakthrough in the Heart Sutra, but when he really wanted to do it, he realized that he couldn't do it—he ignored the other souls in his spiritual world.

The cultivation of the Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea must be in a state of full concentration, but now he has to use a large amount of spiritual power to resist the collision of other souls on his consciousness, and he simply cannot meet the requirements of full concentration. Even though he had absorbed Regina's spiritual power now, it only allowed him to draw more spiritual power and put it into other aspects, and he couldn't concentrate on it at all.

Therefore, if he wants to make another breakthrough in the "Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea", the first thing he has to do now is to absorb all the other souls in his body.

When he thought of this, Norman at that time couldn't help but look sad.

Although he successfully absorbed Regina's soul, the whole process has to be said to be very dangerous, if it weren't for Adrian's variable, it would have been really hard to say. So now asking him to repeat this process again makes him feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

But Norman quickly figured it out: these souls in his body had to be solved sooner or later, and escape was not the way, and after the battle of Regina, he was now considered to have a successful experience, which was much higher than before.

Since you can't escape it, let's solve it.

However, Norman did not act rashly, and he also used sign language to introduce Lancelot to his current situation, hoping to get some good advice and help from the Templars. However, the Knights Templar seemed to have very little knowledge of the level of soul consciousness, and it didn't even feel like he knew as much.

In the end, Norman had no choice but to come by himself.

The process of erasing consciousness was very thrilling, but fortunately, Regina's experience showed him the way, and the Soul Separation Curse taught by Adrian played a key role in this process, so Norman finally absorbed the second spiritual power without danger.

And Norman also discovered that as he continued to devour these spiritual powers, his will became more and more determined, and it was less likely to get lost in the memory world of others.

So this formed a snowball process, with his own growth and determination, although the spiritual power that Norman wanted to devour became stronger and stronger, but he became more and more relaxed, and the speed became faster and faster, and finally at dawn, he successfully devoured all the other spiritual powers in his spiritual world!

This is why Norman's mental power is so inflated after just one night.

In addition to the drastic increase in mental power, as Norman expected, he also managed to absorb a lot of knowledge from those souls. In addition to the knowledge of spells and combat skills that he had expected, there was something that surprised Norman and gave him a surprise.

That's the knowledge of potions.

One of these souls appears to be a potionsman, which reminds Norman of a scene from Samsara when Adrian was hit with a potion, and this guy may have been the maker of the potion in the first place.

And now, all the knowledge of this potions master has become Norman's, and he has made a potions master out in one night.
