Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 259 Advancing to the Third Stage

After a comprehensive maintenance, the Voice of Dawn stopped at the port again.

This all-round maintenance cost Alka and the others 50 Golden Sails.

But fortunately, it was worth the money. At this time, the Voice of Dawn was like a brand new factory, with a brand new look from top to bottom.

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

The good girl is in a good mood.

For Alka and the others, spending money on ships is completely acceptable.

I don't feel heartache at all.

Not to mention the whole maintenance process, Alka and Simon were watching.

These shipwrights are not afraid of the outflow of such means at all, because this is not a powerful technical means at all.

They've sneaked a few lessons and can incorporate them into their daily maintenance routine.

But it also confirms that 50 Jinfan is really worth it.

Because the cost of materials alone is at least 30 Jinfan as far as they can understand.

Therefore, it is not the technology that is difficult for people at all, but the cost required by this technology.

These people really only make hard money.

No wonder, I am not afraid of others stealing.

If you want to learn, learn, because there are several materials that are unique to this island.

It's all about making money.

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

The Gathering Stone above the head is spreading the magic power absorbed around Alka.

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

And his aura is also rising steadily.

But the inhalation of such a large amount of magic power also brought a visible burden to Alka. The sweat on his head was dripping down like a stream of water, forming a puddle of water below.

Such fluctuations in magic power finally alarmed everyone on board.

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

"Isn't Alka being promoted?" Jason asked looking up at the observation 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. I have to speed up too."

Simon felt his body and said.

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

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

Although everyone was chatting, they were already standing on various parts of the deck, guarding Alka.

At this time, Alka in the observation room slowed down the speed of absorbing magic power.

But the spiral circuit in the body has already begun to produce different changes, just like it was once promoted from the first stage to the second stage.

The superimposed spirals with three spirals as a group began to tighten, and finally they were completely stacked together.

It turned into a combination of 9 overlapping spirals, and a brand-new spiral circuit appeared on the periphery. Compared with the combination next to it, its tinyness looked abnormally awkward.

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

The speed of absorbing magic power was about to stop, and Alka, who was floating, landed on both feet.

The clothes of the whole person are completely wet and fit on the body, and they look at the small puddles formed by their own sweat.

Arka cleared it away with a wave of his hand.

"call."

He exhaled heavily.

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

According to such a change, it may continue until tomorrow morning.

What it brings may be the instability of power, so you have to prepare well.

Turn off the Gathering Stone.

Open the door, pull the cable and swing down.

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

"congratulation."

"Haha, thank you, but I'm too tired, I have to go back to my room to rest for a while."

Alka and everyone simply waved their hands and returned to their room.

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

The whole person sank into the mattress.

"Comfortable……"

The physical and mental exhaustion brought about by the promotion made Alka fall into a dream after lying on the bed for a while.

Due to being too exhausted, Alka didn't even wake up from the dream, but had a rare sleep like an ordinary person.

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

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

It seems that I have slept a lot of time.

There was a growling sound in my stomach.

Hunger made Alka eat quickly. The food was specially prepared by Juanlu, and it was used to quickly restore physical strength and magic power.

Arka felt better with the food and felt her strength returned.

Lie back on his bed.

Start to check your body carefully to see what changes have occurred compared to before.

The strengthening of magic power has passed, and the physical improvement brought by it has been fixed.

The feeling that the power is improving anytime and anywhere has disappeared.

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

Make a fist and wave lightly in the air.

In an instant, there was a piercing sound in the air, and the wind of punching fists swayed the lantern hanging on the bedside table next to it.

"It seems to take a while to get used to it."

The improvement between the spiral and the spiral will not bring too much physical change, and it is easy to adapt.

However, the physical changes brought about by the big stage and the big stage promotion are a bit too big, and it takes a certain amount of time to adapt to the new strength.

The spiral in the body is slowly turning.

Feeling the turning, Alka frowned, and the magic power around him was being sucked into his body automatically, and part of it would be used to improve his strength.

The magic of turning is indeed much more than before.

But the problem is...the amount of mana that can be absorbed into the body has decreased.

Compared with before, it has increased, but compared to the current total strength, it is too little.

Feeling this change, Alka 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 power began to slowly enter Alka's body.

After a while, Arka stopped meditating and opened his eyes.

"The speed at which I absorb magic power has slowed down...the amount of absorbed magic power that can be integrated into the body has also decreased."

Such a discovery made Arka unable to bear to think.

If such a change is not special, but a normal situation.

This means that the improvement of the strength of the three stages will no longer be as fast as before.

This is what Balazs called a bottleneck.

The rapid increase in strength in the second stage and before, keeps the magic power in a relatively boiling state forever.

It was because of this reason that Balazs discovered that there was something wrong with Alka and the others.

At that time.

Compared with spending time to stabilize the boiling of magic power, spending time on meditation is obviously more helpful to the improvement of strength.

Therefore, unless there is a problem, most people will choose to meditate quickly until they reach the completion of the second stage, until such advantages disappear.

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

Hold tight, then make a breakthrough.

But now at the third stage, such a rapid increase in strength no longer exists.

If you want to make your strength slightly stronger, you have to stabilize the magic power again, or you can only stabilize the magic power because you have nothing to do.

And this change made Alka understand something different.

For those who own treasures, the treasures will also participate in the absorption and conversion of magic power during meditation.

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

If the speed of strength improvement and magic power absorption brought by self-meditation is 1.

Due to some differences in physique and talent, the standard of 1 will definitely fluctuate up and down, but the difference will not be too large.

For a Holy Grail-level treasure, an additional 1 will be added on top of this. Depending on the level of the treasure, there will be a range of ups and downs.

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 treasures, the changes brought about by different.

Among the treasures controlled by everyone, the one with the most bonus is Jason, who was changed by the birth of the Crystal Dragon some time ago.

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

She is a real ancient creature, and she was like a treasure in her childhood.

For normal treasures, Pororo's [Winter Flower] has a bonus of 1.3 that brings the most improvement.

The least Lucilia's flag, also 0.9, but a little lower than Arca's 0.9.

According to calculations, the bonus of Holy Grail-level treasures should be between 0.8 and 1.3.

Think about the expression on the treasure information when you got [Winter Flower].

The most powerful batch of holy grail treasures.

The reason why they can calculate so accurately is not because they are so powerful, but because they have obtained the inheritance of the Vastwa city-state.

Those blue dots bring incredible items and knowledge.

These blue treasures don't necessarily have to be used in combat, they are obsessed in their respective fields.

A ring-shaped device appeared in Alka's hand. The device was double-layered, and there was a light blue magic line in the middle of the interlayer.

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

This piece of equipment begins to observe and record alongside.

After only 1 minute of meditation, Alka stopped.

Start collecting data in this "soul detection ring".

This is also one of the blue treasures of Vasterva they obtained, which can help them collect various accurate data of the body.

It can almost be called a universal human body detection device.

It is a well-preserved brand-new experimental device. Because it is placed in a special preservation box, it has existed in the superimposed space for tens of thousands of years without damage.

Basically, it's Alka, Simon and Martha are using it.

Only the three of them have such a need.

And it doesn't work well.

With data feedback.

"Is it only 0.2? It has dropped so much." Such feedback surprised him a bit.

The 1 that was once increased by individual strength was directly reduced to only 0.2.

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

But the changes brought about by the magic power in the feedback have not diminished, and remain the same.

Picking up the notepad, he wrote down his discoveries in the notebook, and after thinking about it, he wrote it on the speculation later.

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

But the improvement brought by the treasure has not decreased, that is to say, the person who owns the treasure will be a big step ahead of the toucher of the same level in the third stage.

Even at a certain stage, normal touchers will not have much possibility to continue to improve their strength. If they want to improve, they must have treasures.

There may also be other means..."

Write down your guesses in a notebook.

To verify this, just ask Balazs later.

This is not information worth hiding.

And Simon will also be promoted to the third stage in a few days. Whether it is an example or not can be known from his changes.

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

Jason has already owned a treasure because of the birth of the crystal dragon. If he wants to own a treasure, he must ensure that the treasure is equally compatible with the crystal dragon before he can use it.

It is equivalent to looking for the second treasure, which creates a certain degree of difficulty.

But now the only ones without treasures are Juanlu, Julia and Materisa.

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

Once entering the third stage, the strength of the two of them will stagnate.

After understanding these.

Alka began to examine the impact on the treasure after his strength had improved, and the mirror surface reappeared on Alka's face.

Then the figure of the god of death in the dream appeared on the mirror.

Alka directly became the God of Death in the dream, feeling the changes brought about by his strength.

The God of Death in the dream still made Alka's body undergo different changes, but the enhancement it brought was not as exaggerated as in the second stage.

That is to say, the high-strength improvement brought by this form no longer exists, but he is still a good form change.

After all, the teleportation of the god of death in the dream, the defense brought by the cloak of light and shadow, and the sickle that can injure the soul are all very good.

And he doesn't know how to use a sickle at all, but the sickle of the god of death in the dream is like an arm of the body, and he can manipulate it instinctively.

This undoubtedly improved his melee weapon skills.

He had to find some more powerful creatures to simulate, not necessarily as comprehensive as the dream god of death.

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

A heavy fist hit the mirror, causing cracks all over the mirror immediately, but it didn't shatter.

"The mirror's sturdiness has been improved, and the conductivity of magic power is better."

"Then... can my previous idea be realized?" Alka thought.

The mirror in front of him was restored, and a rune whose specific shape could not be seen appeared on the mirror.

With the integration of the runes, the mirror rippled like water.

Alka gently raised his hand and stretched it in.

It's like sticking out of the water, but the back of the mirror doesn't have the arms coming out.

But at this time, at some point, a mirror appeared behind Alka. The mirror surface was also like ripples on the water surface, and it was Alka's hand that stuck out.

Seeing such a change, a smile appeared on Alka's face.

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

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

The reason why such an effect can be produced is because the spell engraved on it is a spell that Alka and the others obtained in the city-state of Watwa.

[Seal of Link], the original effect is to make two objects connect.

The effect is very vague, after all, it is a spell from 3 years ago.

According to Alka's research on Vastwa's literature, mantras were not popular in that age of gods.

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

Simply put, they use magic-like means.

The incantation is more like an auxiliary means.

But after the battle of the gods, the world was broken so that means such as magic could no longer be used.

The incantation came to the stage, and of course Alka and the others didn't know what kind of changes had taken place between them.

Alka applied the spell to his own mirror, and successfully connected the two different mirrors.

Then Arca fused a very simple but inexplicably suitable spell.

[Wall penetration], after using the spell, you can pass through the obstacle. The thickness of the obstacle and the material of the obstacle will cause the mana consumption required to use the spell to be different.

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

As a result, he can only use the form of the Dream Reaper to travel through. The light and shadow cloak and the dream attribute of the Dream Reaper allow him to go from one mirror to the other.

Although still good, the effect of use has been greatly reduced.

Simply put, it is not so practical.

Now that his strength has reached the third stage, the improvement of magic power and the fine manipulation of magic power have allowed him to successfully complete his own ideas.

"It will be called [Mirror of Traveling] from now on."

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

Now it is no longer a mirror maze belonging to one person, according to his current magic power and degree of manipulation.

When it comes to fighting, he can definitely build a maze of mirrors covering the battlefield.

Coupled with Shang Xiadai's absolute darkness.

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

Self-protection with such strength should be no problem, right?

Learn about changes made by mirrors.

Arka turned her attention to the Dreamcatcher.

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

Arka lay back on the bed.

With the eyes closed, he entered the dream world.

When you open your eyes, you are in your own dream bubble.

Behind him is a huge irregular transparent crystal that is five meters high and three meters wide.

Inside the crystal, the energy of gold and silver intertwined and spiraled, like a beam of light, slowly rotating inside the crystal.

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

There are also a lot 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, 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 Alka is passively defending himself. It has been a long time since he voluntarily left to hunt at night.

The main reason is that he only spent dozens of days and nights, basically walking around Broken Island.

And from time to time, you can find gathering places that pop up inexplicably in the distance, and disappear the next day.

Alka looked at his dream bubble.

I was too tired when I just went to bed and rested, I didn't fall into a dream, and I haven't found it yet.

Own dream bubbles.

It has become a lot bigger, at least doubled than before.
