"Ronan, don't take other girls home."

Kasanna lowered her head and tugged at his sleeve, her voice low, "At least, at least not to bring it to the castle." ”

Just from the voice, Ronan could imagine the grievance and discomfort in her expression.

Unlike Kasanna's strong reaction, Alice just glared at Ronan unhappily.

Then he pulled Isha to introduce herself to Kasanna.

Ronan had already informed Alice and Isha of Kasanna's situation in advance, so the two of them had already prepared.

On Kasanna's side, it was indeed his negligence.

After all, he left the fashion when he didn't know the situation of Triumph City, and he didn't expect to bring both Alice and Isha back.

"Sister?" Kasanna looked into their amethyst eyes, and realized that she had misunderstood.

She ducked behind Ronan with a flushed face, feeling that she didn't have the face to meet the two girls again.

"It's okay, they're very easy to get along with, and they'll be living here from today onwards." Ronan touched Kasanna's head, reassuring her.

For Cassanna and Alice, Ronan is not worried.

They are all girls who haven't grown up yet, and their personalities are not strong.

Except for Alice, who sometimes likes to mess around in front of her, she is still very ladylike at other times.

Not to mention Isa's personality, she is both gentle and understanding, otherwise Alice would not always cling to her.

Ronan then led them to the fifth floor of the castle, where there was a large hall and five large bedrooms to choose from.

According to his design requirements, they are equipped with separate bathrooms and cloakrooms.

Ronan chose the master bedroom in the middle, where a balcony verandah extended out of the room to form a small garden where he could sit on a chair and look out over half of the town.

Alice was lying on the railing of the small garden with Isa in tow.

Trembling while holding the blanket tightly, he looked at the beautiful scenery covered in silver below.

The two girls had a look of love in their eyes.

It rarely snows in Triumph City.

The beautiful scenery that seemed to turn the whole world into snow white was a scene they had never seen before.

"Ronan~" Alice turned and looked at him writhingly.

"Don't even think about it, this is my room." Ronan lay down on the bed and ignored her.

Listening to Alice's change in tone, he could guess what she was thinking.

"What, I didn't want to rob you."

Alice said stiffly, then looked at Kasanna who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "I just wanted to ask if Kasanna lives here too?" ”

"Huh?" Kasanna, who was suddenly mentioned, turned red and quickly shook her head, "I live next to me, not here." ”

When Alice heard this, she was immediately happy.

After looking around the room with satisfaction, she took the initiative to pull Kasanna in, and the three of them left together, starting to choose the other bedrooms.

Look at their backs as they bounce out and make sure they don't have problems after they meet.

After lying on the bed for a while and relaxing, Ronan got up and walked outside.

"I'll go out, you can find the maid on the second floor to solve the problem."

"Got it, you don't need it here, let's go."

Alice was sitting on a warm fur couch in the middle of the hall, listening to Kasanna tell the story of her acquaintance with Ronan.

Seeing that he was leaving, he turned his head to look at him perfunctorily and shook his hand.

"I'll take care of my sisters!" Kasanna clenched her fist firmly at him. Isha didn't speak, just stood up and saluted him.

Ronan nodded, and left the castle, walking towards the old castle, which was no longer empty.

In the outer garden, just as Ronan had left, the ten statues that remained here were still waiting in place, covered in a layer of snowflakes.

The sculptures of the five knights are neatly arranged and solemn, and the sculptures of the five winter wolves are free in shape.

Ronan walked up to one of the winter wolf sculptures and opened his palms.

Previously, condensing the [Concept Armament: Scarlet Scythe] cost him 11,000 points of pure spirituality, and now Ronan still has 1,800 points left in his hand.

A second-order puppet requires 20 spiritual points, which Ronan has always used to replace with his own spiritual projection.

The advantage is that he can directly control the puppet, and the disadvantage is that he must divide his attention and control it himself.

Either that, like a steam truck, form a unique operating system and find a driver to control it.

Not only that, but replacing it with a spiritual projection will also cause the puppet to be unable to condense its magic power on its own, so he needs to come nearby and personally inject it with the battle flag sand table.

Now you can try something else.

Ronan unfolds the battle flag sand table and infuses 20 points of pure spirituality into the Winter Wolf sculpture.

A glow invisible to the naked eye flickered around the sculpture.

Colour differences begin to appear on the pure white surface, and the carefully sculpted hairs gradually soften and become lifelike.

The magical trajectory of [Material Activation] was running at high speed, and a smart color appeared in the eyes of the winter wolf.

With a soft whimper, it lowered its head to Ronan's side, rubbing its supple head against his thigh.

Judging from the appearance alone, the puppet in front of him is almost indistinguishable from the real winter wolf.

The only thing that's a little out of the ordinary is that it's so clean.

Roll on the dirt and I'm sure no one will doubt its identity.

"It's just that the mana cost is a bit high." Ronan checked its status.

Maintaining your true appearance comes at a cost.

The core of the magic power is absorbing external magic at all times, so as to facilitate the operation of [material activation] and ensure the posture of living things.

The normal amount of mana recovery barely sustains the consumption, and to be honest, it is not practical.

The concentration of magic in the world is still too low today.

Ronan gave up on the idea of infusing other statues with pure spirituality.

The main thing is that pure spirituality is not enough, and the role of these sculptures is to ensure the safety of the three girls outside the castle.

It is enough to have his attention, it does not require much agency.

He told the Winter Wolf puppet to stay outside and keep watch, then entered the old castle and entered the basement.

The workshop, which had been silent for a long time, was activated again with the arrival of its master, the dust was swept away, and the dark gold shone.

And on the birch research table, there is also a quartz tube filled with blood, a pile of crystals that shine with white brilliance, and a golden palm that is covered in it.

Ronan sat down in front of the research table and channeled the special magic in the Holy Crystal according to his previous experience.

Let it penetrate deep into the golden palm to activate the mana trail within.

After the pure white holy magic power touched the palm of his hand, it quickly spread, turning into balls of light and shining all over the palm.

The balls of light then extended into magical filaments and connected to each other to form an intricate web of gold, allowing the dim light of the palm to shine again.

After a long period of experimentation and copying, Ronan recorded the effects he had learned.

"Accelerate the return of magic, elemental light state, magic assimilation, remote transmission, tsk, there are a lot of effects."

[Radiance Network], that is, the trajectory of the magic formed by the Holy Crystal in the bishop's body.

It can assist the host's spirituality, increase the efficiency of mana absorption, and speed up the advancement.

And it can convert the magic absorbed from the outside into holy magic with special attributes, and this holy magic can also be transmitted remotely in a posture similar to light.

It's like the Divine Punisher gathering its magic into the hands of the Bishop.

In addition to the spiritual resonance formed by their decades of devotional prayer.

The more important reason is that those soldiers have been blessed by the bishop and have left the seeds of holy magic in their bodies.

Not only that, but after the Tean Network is fully constructed, it is even able to evolve the flesh of a creature into a light state, making it immune to most physical damage.

"It's a pity that it can't be taken apart." After a general understanding of the effect, Ronan had some regrets.

Whether it is [Flesh Enhancement], [Earth Construction], [Material Activation], [Radiance Network], etc., they are all complex and mature multiple trajectories in nature.

It is a huge spell model that combines the base trajectories of various effects.

Theoretically, it is possible to further disassemble them to obtain the most basic magic base track.

In this way, through various combinations of mana base tracks, you can build the mana trail of the desired effect by yourself.

However, without sufficient time and material research, Ronan is far from reaching that point, and can only try step by step and continue to accumulate experience.

Of course, not being able to go that far didn't prevent him from using these mature magic trajectories.

Temporarily put away the Holy Crystal and other materials, but Ronan did not absorb them.

After all, there was still a lot of holy magic stored in the Holy Crystal, and he needed to find a way to release or use it.

Then he began to think about another question.

Due to the low tide of mana, the speed of mana recovery is stuck at the upper limit of 50/hour.

In fact, the low tide of magic not only affects himself, but even limits the war chess he creates.

Knights are okay, the essence is to rely on a strong body, they will only absorb magic power to enhance their physique when they practice the breathing method.

And this process is extended to the length of decades.

Other times, neither fighting nor resting is affected by magic, the only drawback is that it costs too much food.

This is also the reason why knights occupy the majority of the territory of the empire.

If you want to change to other professions, with the current concentration of magic power, the large number of powerhouses in Triumph City have already drained the magic power in the city.

But now, with the arrival of a large number of magic crystals, Ronan has added a lot of vacancies in his hands.

He opened the current catalog of war chess.

[Battle Banner Sand Table Completeness: 42%]

[Terran Knight (1st Order): 100/100]

[Raven Feather Walker (1st Order): 1/50]

[Hybrid Earth Golem (2nd Order): 10/10. Steam-powered Steel Golem (2nd Tier): 10/10

[Radiant Lifeform (?) ): Not yet defined]

[Currently, 6,000 first-order chess pieces or 800 second-order war chess can be added, and the cost of special war chess can be recalculated.] 】

Looking at the data above, this made him a little distressed for a while.

Continue to raise knights?

Not to mention that he doesn't have so many soldiers and magic transformation.

That means that there is a huge burden of food, and he needs to go out and occupy a lot of land and farmland to feed.

Ronan doesn't have much interest in dominating the world, and more territory means more trouble.

If he wants to rely on violence to suppress it, he can't suppress it.

He created the war game to reduce his troubles, not to increase them.

And instead of spending the quota on low-level war chess, it is better to wait for him to absorb the holy crystal and create a high-level war chess after reaching level three.

The key is to secure the territory and plunder the resources needed for him.

And what he lacks most now is magic.

"Accelerate the return of the mana, remote transmission?" Ronan was thinking about the effects of the [Korn Kuan Network].

The gathering of magic is mainly based on the attraction emanating from the spirituality of the creatures.

In other words, in fact, every living being, especially the most spiritually powerful humans, can be seen as a magic battery that is always charging.

It's just that most people can't use the magic power that gathers on their bodies.

Can you use this to make the magic of crowdfunding work?

Ronan began to set up the new war chess according to his own ideas.

[Holy Blood Parasite (First Order Descendant): Attack: 0/Defense: 0/Spirit: 0.1]

[Features: It can parasitize in the body of living organisms, assist the host in absorbing magic power, quickly strengthen the strength of the body, and intercept the storage of magic power in the process. When the parasite is full of mana or the host dies, it will disengage from the light state and return to its mother. 】

[Transformation conditions: 10 ml of Ronan blood, 10 points of mana, 0.1 points of pure spirituality]

Gathering multiple magical trajectories including [Radiant Network], Ronan looked at the final finished wargame.

In the quartz tube in his hand, he was holding a holy blood parasite.

It looks like a pure red wine with an alluring sheen.

The Holy Blood Parasite can parasitize the human body, form a holy blood network in the blood vessels, and use the other party's spirituality to speed up the gathering of magic power.

While strengthening the host, it is better to intercept the mana and store it in it, and finally turn into a light state and return to Ronan with the magic power.

Strictly speaking, this should be a symbiote.

After all, it is impossible for a strong person to let this kind of ghost thing penetrate deep into his body, and only those ignorant ordinary people will let it parasitize.

And as a result, they will gain powers comparable to those of the Knights and the Awakened of the Hero's Blood.

This thing wasn't for Ronan for his men and people.

In order to absorb magic quickly, it is necessary to ensure that the host's spirituality remains in a highly active state at all times.

In other words, the environment in which the other party lives must not be comfortable, and must be full of crises, so that the host has a strong desire to become stronger.

And you can't all craze into one place, that will also affect the efficiency of mana absorption.

"The empire is already so messy, and it's not bad for me." Ronan thought to himself, "And knights, blood boons, heroic blood, each of them has nothing to do with civilians. ”

In the face of the hegemony of the imperial aristocracy, the commoners of this era had no ability to resist.

In this case, it is better to join him on the road of magic crowdfunding.

The glory of the gods of the Church is only sown on the pious bishop, he is different.

As long as he has a strong enough determination, he is happy to provide a path for these people to become stronger.
