The Sound of Dawn underwent some comprehensive maintenance and was re-anchored in the harbor.

This all-round maintenance cost them 50 gold sails.

But fortunately, it is worth the money, and the sound of dawn at this time is like a brand new factory, and it is completely new.

It can be heard all day long, and the faint sound of music sounds.

This good girl is in a good mood.

For Arka, it was perfectly acceptable for them to spend their money on ships.

I don't feel heartache at all.

Not to mention the whole maintenance process, Arka and Simon were watching from the sidelines.

These shipwrights are not at all afraid of such a trick, because it is not a very powerful technical means at all.

They have already learned a little bit and can add it to their daily maintenance activities.

But it also confirmed that 50 Golden Sails is indeed worth it.

Because the cost of materials alone is at least more than 30 gold sails as far as they can know.

So it's not the technology that's stumbling at all, it's the cost of the technology.

These people really just make a hard-earned profit.

No wonder, I'm not afraid of others stealing from school at all.

If you want to learn, you can learn because there are several materials in it, all of which are unique to this island.

Both horizontally and vertically are earned.

At this time, Arka was sitting in the observation room of the ship, and the whole person was sitting cross-legged and floating in the air.

The magic stone above his head is spreading the magic power absorbed from the surroundings to the surroundings of Arka.

At this time, the magic power poured into Alka's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Arka was like the eye of a whirlpool.

And his whole person's momentum is also rising.

But such a large amount of magic inhalation also put a visible burden on Alka, and the sweat on his head was dripping down like water, forming a small puddle of water underneath.

Such a fluctuation of magic power finally alarmed everyone on the ship.

Although the fluctuations brought by the three-stage promotion are not large, at least they can be felt on the ship.

"Arka can't be promoted, right?" Jason asked, looking up at the lookout room at the top of the mast.

"Didn't he say it's just a few days, we've been on this island for four or five days?"

"I didn't expect him to be one step faster than me, and I have to speed up."

Simon said as he felt his body.

The strength increase brought by the two treasures is indeed faster than that of one of their treasures, not to mention that the strength of Alka's soul is stronger, and the efficiency of absorbing magic is also higher than theirs.

If you don't speed up, you will only be thrown farther and farther away by him.

Although the group was chatting, they were already standing in various parts of the deck, guarding Arka.

At this time, the speed of Arka's absorption of magic in the observation room slowed down.

But the spiral circuits in the body are already beginning to undergo different changes, just like when they were promoted from stage 1 to stage 2.

The superimposed spirals in a group of three spirals began to shrink and finally were completely stacked together.

It turned into a combination of 9 overlapping spirals, and a new spiral loop appeared on the periphery, and its smallness looked unusually awkward compared to the combination next to it.

But with the emergence of this spiral, it also indicates that Arka is trying to break through the second stage and step into the third stage.

The speed at which the mana was absorbed was about to stop, and the floating Arka landed on both feet.

The whole person's clothes have been completely wet and fit on the body, looking at the small puddle formed by his sweat under his feet.

Arka waved his hand to clean it up.

"Whew."

He exhaled heavily.

At this time, the changes brought about by the increase in strength have not completely stopped, and the increase brought by the influx of a large amount of magic power is strengthening his physique.

At such a rate, it could last until tomorrow morning.

It may bring instability in power, and you have to prepare for it.

Turn off the Gathering Stone.

He opened the door and pulled the cable and swung down.

At this time, several people on the deck were already waiting for Arka.

"Congratulations."

"Haha, thanks, but I'm too tired, I need to go back to my room and rest for a while."

Arka and the others simply waved their hands and returned to their room.

I took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the bed.

The whole person sank into the mattress.

"Comfortable ......"

The physical and mental exertion brought about by the promotion made Arka lie in bed for a while and couldn't help but sink into a dream.

Exhausted, Arka didn't even wake up from her dreams, but rarely slept like a normal person.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside, and only the starlight shone in through the window.

There was also a food box on the table next to it, and the spell on the edge of the box was heating it slightly.

It seems that I have slept a lot of time.

There was a rumbling sound in my stomach.

Hunger made Arka eat quickly, and the food was specially prepared by Juanlu to quickly restore his strength and magic.

With the food, Alka felt much more comfortable and felt his strength return.

Lay back on his bed.

Start checking your body carefully to see what changes have been made from before.

The enhancement of mana has passed, and the increase in physique brought by it has been fixed.

That power is increasing all the time, and the feeling is gone.

Compared to the second stage, Alka's physique is stronger now.

A fist squeezed into the air lightly.

In an instant, the air made a cracking sound, and the wind of fists shook the lantern hanging on the bedside table next to it.

"Looks like we're going to have to get used to it for a while."

The lifting between spirals does not bring much change in physique, and it is easy to adapt.

However, the changes in physique brought about by the major stage and the major stage ascension are a bit too large, and it takes a certain amount of time to adapt to the new strength.

The spiral in the body is slowly turning.

Feeling the spin Arka frowning, the magic around him was automatically being sucked into his body as the rotation was being used, and some of it would be used to improve his strength.

The magic of turning is indeed a lot more than before.

But the question is...... The amount of magic that can be sucked into the body has decreased.

Compared with the past, it is an increase, but compared with the current total strength, the total strength is too small and too small.

Sensing the change, Arka immediately sat up, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

As the meditation runes appeared in the body, stabilizing the veins of the magic power, the surrounding magic began to slowly enter Alka's body.

It was only after a moment that Arka stopped meditating and opened his eyes.

"The rate at which you drain your own mana has slowed down...... The amount of mana that can be absorbed into the body has also decreased. ”

Such a discovery made Arka can't help but think.

If such a change is not exceptional, but normal.

This means that the improvement of the strength of the three stages will not be as rapid as before.

This is what Balazs calls a bottleneck.

The rapid improvement of strength in the second stage and before made the magic power always in a relatively boiling state.

It was for this reason that Balazs discovered that something was wrong with Arca.

At that time.

Spending time on meditation is obviously more helpful to improve your strength than to spend time smoothing the boiling of mana.

So unless there is a problem, most people will choose to meditate quickly until they reach the second stage of consummation, until this advantage disappears.

Then take time to stabilize the strength that has slowed down and is difficult to improve.

Hold firm, then break through.

And now that it has reached the third stage, such a rapid increase in strength no longer exists.

If you want to get a little stronger, you have to calm down your mana, or you can only calm it down, because you have nothing to do.

And this change has made Arka understand something different.

For those who possess the treasure, the treasure will also participate in the absorption and transformation of magic power when meditating.

This is also the reason why people who have treasures can improve much faster than those who don't.

If the strength increase and mana absorption speed brought by the self's meditation are 1.

Because of some differences in physique and talent, the standard of 1 will definitely hover up and down, but it will not be too different.

A Holy Grail level treasure will add an additional 1 to this one, and depending on the level of the treasure, there will be an up and down range.

For example, the mirror surface of Alka is equivalent to only adding 0.9, but the Dream Catcher has added 1.2.

This is the level of the treasure, the changes brought about by the difference.

Among the treasures in everyone's hands, the one with the most bonus is Jason, who brought about changes due to the birth of the crystal dragon some time ago.

The appearance of the crystal dragon made Jason add an additional 1.5, but the problem is that the crystal dragon is obviously not a "treasure" that can be judged by common sense.

She was a true ancient creature, and in her infancy she was a treasure.

Normal treasures, the most improved is Poloro's [Winter Flower] bonus of 1.3.

Lucilia's flag, which is the least, is also 0.9, but a little lower than Alca's 0.9.

According to the calculation, the bonus of the Holy Grail treasure should be between 0.8~1.3.

Think about the expression of the treasure information when you obtained the [Winter Flower] at that time.

The most powerful batch of Holy Grail treasures.

The reason why they were able to calculate so accurately was not because they were powerful, but simply because they had obtained the inheritance of the city-state of Vastva.

Those blue dots bring incredible items and knowledge.

These blue treasures don't all have to be used in combat, they are obsessive in their respective realms.

A ring-shaped device appeared in Alka's hand, the device was double-layered, with a pale blue magic line in the middle.

Enter the magic to control it, and then Arka enters meditation again.

The piece of equipment began to be observed and recorded on the side.

After meditating for only a minute, Arka stopped.

Start collecting the data in this "Soul Detection Ring".

This is also one of the blue treasures of Vastva that they have obtained, which can help them collect accurate data on their bodies.

It can be called an almost universal human detection device.

It is a brand new experimental device that has been well preserved, and because it is placed in a special preservation box, it has remained in the superimposed space for tens of thousands of years without damage.

It's basically Alka, Simon and Matrisa using it.

Only the three of them have such a need.

And it doesn't work well.

With the feedback of the data.

"It's only 0.2, so much down." This kind of feedback surprised him a little.

The 1 that used to increase the strength of an individual was directly reduced to only 0.2.

The third stage seems to make it more difficult to transform magic into the body, which is equivalent to a bottleneck in the way.

However, the changes brought about by the magic in the feedback have not diminished, and they have remained the same.

I picked up the notepad and wrote down my findings in the notebook, and thought about writing it on the speculation that followed.

"According to the above data changes, the improvement of the strength of the toucher in the third stage will be greatly slowed down.

However, the boost from the treasure does not decrease, which means that the person who owns the treasure will be significantly ahead of the toucher of the same level in the third stage.

Even at a certain stage, normal touchers will not have much chance of continuing to gain strength improvement, and if they want to improve, they must have treasures.

There may be other means......"

Write down your speculations in a notebook.

To verify this, just ask Balazs afterwards.

This is not much information to hide.

And Simon will not be able to move to the third stage in a few days, and whether it is a case or not depends on his changes.

Then the treasures of the other people on the ship must be quickly put on the agenda.

Jason already has a treasure because of the birth of the crystal dragon, and if he wants to have a treasure, he must ensure that the treasure is equally suitable for the crystal dragon before he can use it.

It's like looking for the second treasure, which is difficult.

And now there are no treasures except for Juanlu, Julia, and Matrice.

Among them, Julia and Matresa have even reached the Nine Spirals, if there are no treasures.

Once they enter the third stage, the strength of the two of them will come to a standstill.

That's all there is to it.

Arka began to check the effect of his increased strength on the treasure, and the mirror reappeared on Arka's face.

Then the figure of the Dream Grim Reaper appeared in the mirror.

Arka directly turned into a dream god of death, feeling the changes brought about by his strength.

The Dream Grim Reaper still made Arka's body change differently, but the enhancement it brought was not as exaggerated as the second stage.

In other words, the high-intensity increase brought by this form is no longer there, but it is still a good form change.

After all, the teleportation of the Dream Grim Reaper, the defense brought by the Cloak of Light and Shadow, and the scythe that can break the soul are all very good.

And he doesn't know how to use a scythe at all, but Dream Reaper's scythe is like an arm of the body, capable of manipulating it like instinct.

This has undoubtedly improved his melee weapon skills.

He had to find something more powerful to simulate, not necessarily as comprehensive as Dream Death.

Then a mirror two meters high and one meter wide appeared in front of Alka, and looking at the mirror in front of him, Arka punched and punched away.

The heavy punch slammed into the mirror, causing the mirror to immediately crack all over the surface, but it didn't shatter.

"The mirrors are more sturdier and the magic is more conductive."

"So...... Can I realize my previous idea? Arka thought.

The mirror in front of him was repaired again, and a rune that could not see the specific shape appeared on the mirror.

As the runes merged, the mirror surface rippled like the surface of the water.

Arka raised his hand slightly, reaching inside.

It's like poking into the water, but no arms are coming out of the back of the mirror.

At this time, I don't know when a mirror appeared behind Alka's back, and the mirror was also like ripples on the surface of the water, but it was Alka's hand that poked out.

Looking at this change, a smile appeared on Arka's face.

"It's feasible, it's completely feasible, since I can also pass through it with my real body, then Xia Daiti and them can also pass through."

The surprise on Alka's face was visible to the naked eye.

The reason for this effect is that the spell engraved on it is a spell that the Arka they acquired in the city-state of Vatwa.

[Seal of Links], the original effect is to make two objects have the effect of connecting.

The effect is very vague, after all, it was a spell from 30,000 years ago.

According to some of Arka's documentary research on Vasteva, incantations were not widespread in the age of the gods.

They generally use their magic to communicate with the runes of the natural world, and fuse the magic of nature to produce more powerful effects.

To put it simply, they use means similar to magic.

Whereas mantras are more of an adjunct.

But after the war of the gods, the world shattered and magic became useless.

The incantation took to the stage, but of course what happened in between, Arka and they didn't know.

Arka applied the spell to her own mirror, causing the two different mirrors to be linked.

Then Arka fused a very simple, but inexplicably suitable, spell.

[Through the Wall], which can pass through obstacles after using the spell, the thickness of the obstacle and the substance of the obstacle will cause the mana cost to be used when using the spell is different.

In the second stage, Arka had already completed such a fusion operation, but the problem was that his magic at that time did not have strong control over the [Seal of Links].

As a result, he can only use the Dream Reaper form to traverse, and the Cloak of Light and Shadow and the Dream Death attribute that comes with the Dream Reaper allow him to travel from one mirror to another.

Although it is still good, the effect of use is greatly reduced.

To put it simply, it's not that practical.

Now that his strength has reached the third stage, the increase in mana and the fine manipulation of mana have allowed him to successfully complete his idea.

"From now on, it will be called [Passing Mirror]."

A mirror that allows others to walk through it, and its mirror maze tactics are getting stronger and stronger.

Now it's no longer a mirror labyrinth that belongs to a person, according to his current magical power and degree of control.

When it comes to the actual fight, he will definitely be able to build a maze of mirrors that will cover the battlefield.

Coupled with the absolute darkness of Xia Daiti.

Thinking of this, the expression on Alka's face became more and more rampant.

This kind of strength should be no problem for self-preservation, right?

Learn about the changes that occur in mirrors.

Arka shifted his attention to the Dream Catcher.

However, it is obviously not easy to figure out the changes of Dream Catcher in reality.

Arka was back on the bed.

With his eyes closed, he entered the dream world.

As soon as I woke up, I was in my own dream bubble.

Behind him was a large, irregular transparent crystal that was five meters tall and three meters wide.

Inside the crystal, the energy of gold and silver intertwined spirals, like a pillar of light, slowly rotating in the crystal.

It's no longer just a little bit of light as it used to be.

There are also a large amount of materials piled up around the crystal pillar, as well as various dream items.

These are trophies.

No way, there are too many dream creatures of all kinds after coming to the Boundless Sea, and even if he doesn't take the initiative to hunt these dream creatures, they will come to harass their dreams.

It can only be said that Arka is passively defending himself, and he has not actively left for hunting at night for a long time.

The main thing is that he only spent a few dozen days and nights, basically walking around the Broken Island.

And from time to time, you can find a gathering place that pops up inexplicably in the distance, and disappears again on the second day.

Arka looked at his dream bubble.

I was so tired when I just went to bed and rested that I didn't sink into my dreams and didn't notice it yet.

own dream bubbles.

It's a lot bigger, and it's at least twice as big as before.
