Dear Broom Knight

After watching the grand performance orchestrated by Ancestor Gezar, Lorry no longer wanted to hear about 'gentle and kind' or 'sincerely treating others'.

However, he couldn't say the other party wasn't sincere.

After repeatedly testing in various ways and confirming that the Gale Wolf King genuinely wanted to find the Human Alliance, Gezar, having abandoned those petty thoughts, did indeed become very sincere.

Besides, the Gale Wolf King wasn't so honest at the beginning.

He was just initially fooled.

In any case, when it came to formally concluding the alliance, both sides were as sincere as the rumors suggested.

Lorry gently exhaled.

It's finally over.

That ancestor was indeed very thoughtful. Anyone who couldn't understand anything after watching all this scheming deserved to be backstabbed by the wolves in the end.

Even Lorry, who tried his best to maintain his independent thinking and had long known that 'those who are not of our race must have different intentions,' couldn't help but mentally raise the threat level of the Gale Wolves a bit.

But similarly, he inevitably had a very deep impression of just how insidious and terrifying his own ancestor was.

Even for someone like Lorry, who was half a Gezar.

Lorry couldn't help but suspect that if the people of this world, who always admired the strong, saw these images, wouldn't they inevitably move towards Gezar's style?

If that were the case, even if the Gale Wolves ultimately chose to form a new alliance with a half-Gezar, there wouldn't be any problem.

Even if this alliance no longer belonged to the Gezar surname, the spirit of Gezar would still be passed down.

Anyway, after generations of passing down Gezar's bloodline, it was already very distant from him.

Spiritual inheritance is the most important continuation.

While pondering these things in his mind, Lorry suddenly felt his mental sea being impacted.

However, he didn't feel any danger at all!

Lorry quickly focused his mind and carefully observed, and then he realized that it originated from the feedback of the mental imprints of tens of thousands of Gale Wolf allies contained in the Qingjing Stone core.

He finally remembered that the Gale Wolves had always emphasized that people with insufficient mental strength would absolutely not be able to transfer this contract.

So that's what 'unable' meant.

In fact, the mental power fed back from each alliance was only a little bit.

However, this mental power, after being purified by the crystal core transformed by the world's laws, was extremely pure.

Therefore, it did indeed have a significant impact on his mental sea.

Lorry was a little hesitant.

After all, this wasn't mental power he had cultivated himself.

Even if it was pure, he didn't seem to want to accept it very much.

If he said this out loud, most people might mock him for being ungrateful.

But his experiences in recent years had made Lorry wary of any unexpected 'windfall'.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly checked his virtual manor until he was sure that it was just a fragment of a divine artifact and there were indeed no hidden dangers before he felt relieved.

Then, just as Lorry was constantly struggling, a semi-circular jade ring suddenly appeared in his mental sea, making a request to him... the meaning was very clear, if you don't want it, can you give it to me?

Lorry certainly knew what that was.

But for so many years, no matter how he checked, it was just a black dot. So it was this big?

Lorry could feel that it was just the spirituality of the divine artifact itself, sensing something beneficial to itself that Lorry didn't want, and the desire for power that arose.

It wasn't a thought after careful consideration.

To put it plainly, it was more like your computer program issuing a 'please increase memory' request after self-checking.

Lorry thought for a while and agreed.

The moment the semi-circular ring rushed out, Lorry had already felt that he was the true master of the other party.

His soul was the only name written in the artifact's core, which was like a program.

Lorry could feel that this was more like a hard drive that had been severely damaged, cleaned up, and reused.

All the programs were rewritten.

Well... although there were still doubts in his mind, Lorry felt that if he continued to struggle, he wouldn't have to live anymore, so he would just pretend that everything was perfect!

If he couldn't detect the danger, then he shouldn't treat it as danger.

Therefore, Lorry quietly watched the semi-circular ring unceremoniously begin to absorb the mental power from the scroll core.

But he still got enough benefits.

The reason why Lorry couldn't advance to level 10 was because his mental sea was too stable. Correspondingly, his body could no longer absorb magical energy.

Although a mage's spellcasting mainly uses the mana in his body to mobilize the external magical energy, after all, relying solely on the little bit in his own body can't do anything. However, how much external force you can leverage depends on what kind of self-reliance you can take out.

Moreover, the thickness and purity of mana also have a great impact.

The more powerful a mage's mental power is, the purer his mana will be, and the less of his own mana he can use to mobilize more external energy.

Archmages can kill people invisibly with a 0-ring spell, but for the current Lorry, a 0-ring spell is just a spell.

Of course, it's not to the point where it's like an apprentice, just a little light and a little sound.

At least now, he can make a light spell last for ten and a half months if he doesn't actively extinguish it.

If a mage wants to advance, he must first expand his mental sea and then increase his own mana capacity.

But his mental power had already filled his mental sea, and when it moved automatically without wind, it seemed to have a bit of strength.

Unfortunately, it was all fake waves, useless to Lorry's solid mental sea boundary.

But Lorry didn't have anything to complain about.

The reason why he was able to advance so quickly before was because his mental sea was naturally so broad.

Others have to expand their mental sea every time they advance to the first ring!

Not to mention that he was able to cast spells across levels from the beginning and use a large number of high-level curiosities, also because his mental sea was very stable and he didn't have to worry about that little movement.

Now that he had reached the key point of level 10, it was okay for Lorry to spend a little more time to smooth out the previous excessive advantages.

He would rather have the current result.

After all, he knew that most mages who reached the fourth ring and touched the edge of level 9 were already over 30 years old.

Even a mage with powerful talent like Alsarand was in his 20s when he reached level 9!

Therefore, when his mental power was not purified and compressed enough to shake the boundary of the mental sea, Lorry, even if he was considered the strongest among the fourth-ring mages, would find it difficult to advance.

Unless he used external force, such as some special potions that increase mental power.

If enough of that stuff was taken at once, it could form a storm in the mental sea.

If there was a tsunami, what couldn't be broken through?

But Lorry wasn't facing death and could only fight with his back to the water. No matter how crazy he was, he wouldn't do that.

He wouldn't even accept the purest mental power sent by the scroll cast by the laws of the world!

Lorry's suspicion was actually very heavy. Even though he had already confirmed that he was the master of the semi-damaged divine artifact, he would still constantly and repeatedly confirm it again and again, and he didn't want to use external force at all.

He really fit the characteristics of a mage.

However, although he didn't accept these mental powers, these mental powers, whose purity and concentration were obviously higher than his own, also stirred up a hurricane in his mental sea.

Especially after the divine artifact fragment appeared, it devoured it like a whale swallowing water. His mental sea had been in turmoil.

Lorry's mental power, which he had only been able to pull out little by little and slowly purify for so long, also extended countless tentacles... towards the high-purity mental power that was spinning rapidly in the air.

Lorry happily grabbed these tentacles, pulling them little by little into long threads and weaving them together... the sky above his mental sea was instantly covered with spider webs.

This was actually the secret of Alsarand's mage lineage.

Even for people who weren't like Lorry, whose mental sea boundary was too stable, most mages who wanted to advance to level 10 actually had to purify their mental power.

It's just that they had to start purifying their mental power when they advanced to the third ring, otherwise, the fourth ring would stop them in their tracks.

An 8th-level mage already possesses considerable combat power and has enough status, and this is precisely the reason... only after passing level 8 can a mage's mental power stir up enough waves.

Their mental seas, which recede step by step, are more difficult to push through at level 10, but not as solid as Lorry's.

But if you want to push it, you have to purify your mental power well.

Therefore, the mages came up with various methods.

Passed down from generation to generation, they became the secret techniques of each lineage.

What Alsarand taught Lorry was this weaving technique like a spider web... However, Alsarand said that it was woven according to the pattern of the star vortex.

Each node is actually a star.

Lorry was a little unconvinced by this statement, but he didn't dare to easily change the position of those nodes.

Even though he had been watching the spider web for so many years and felt more and more like it.

But although he had learned so much, he couldn't draw enough silk.

He had lived too comfortably in the previous years, so that Lorry's mental power was almost integrated, and there was no thread to pull.

Until today, they were caught out by themselves.

Although Lorry cursed his mental power for being so greedy in his heart, he quickly drew silk and weaved it without mercy.

Now that they were out, how could he let them go back!

If the mental power released by the scroll wasn't limited and the battle ended quickly, he could have drawn until the end of time!
