Imperial Crown
Chapter 165: Advancement to Level 2
Raven, who had his back to Fiona, did not answer her question, but carefully observed the state of old Gordon, frowning slightly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
In fact, when he came back, old Gordon did not come to greet him, which made Raven a little grumbling in his heart. He also asked Petty about the relevant questions, but Petty also said that old Gordon was not seriously ill.
The cocktail party yesterday made Raven notice the state of old Gordon.
Although he barely kept his spirits up and ate something, his complexion was not healthy. When he walked, he was a little shaky even with Fiona's support.
Old Gordon coughed and whispered in a hoarse voice: "... Baron, you have just got the Viscountship, and you have a lot of things to do. I asked Fiona not to disturb you."
Now old Gordon's face is sallow, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and he speaks weakly. The sentence just now has to be said in three times.
Raven patted old Gordon's hand, signaling him to stop talking, and turned to ask Fiona: "Have you asked the pharmacist to check it? I mean the Bucky who came back with me before."
"Yes." Fiona's eyes flashed with gloom: "He said that my grandfather has lost too much energy over the years and is old and weak. It is difficult for the potion to have much effect. The priest Lux said the same thing."
"Old and weak..." Raven frowned and slowly made up his mind: "In this case, I don't have a way."
"Fiona, you go and wait at the door. No one can come in without my permission!"
Although she was a little hesitant, seeing her grandfather's eyes, Fiona nodded vigorously and turned to go out.
Raven touched his belt, and a first-level life-attribute magic core appeared in his hand. He looked at Old Gordon, and he was not sure: "Next, I will use a unique magic that can improve your physique, but it may also make your body unable to bear it..."
"Do it, Baron!" Old Gordon smiled: "It is a good thing to be able to welcome such an excellent head of the family in my lifetime and live one more day; even if I die, I can stand in front of the ancestors of the family with my chest held high!"
Raven nodded solemnly: "Okay, then next, you close your eyes."
Raven is already familiar with using magic cores to strengthen others, but it is the first time to use this method to save people and prolong life.
He has made all preparations, with silver spiritual power flowing in his eyes, and gently crushed the magic core in his hand.
Emerald green life energy spread like mist. Raven quietly held the crystal bottle and introduced the purple-black essence of the corrupt soul in the air into it. He took a deep breath and guided the life energy in the air to Old Gordon.
With the practice and meditation during this period, Raven's mental power has risen, and his grasp of life energy has become more precise. Unlike the rough strengthening of the warrior before, he guided the energy into a large net, wrapping Old Gordon in it.
"Ah..." Old Gordon unconsciously groaned. He felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. His bones ached, and then a chill rose from the inside out and was forced out. The pain that was originally coiled between his chest and lungs also slowly dissipated, allowing him to clearly feel his heartbeat.
There was a sourness in his eyes, and turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Immediately, a sense of relaxation flowed into his eyes and brain, making him relax.
Old Gordon fell asleep.
Only more than half of the energy in the air was consumed. Raven checked the state of old Gordon through the Eye of Truth. At this time, all the energy had been dispersed into old Gordon's body, without any stagnation or residue, but if it continued to be infused, it would probably exceed the limit he could bear.
Raven thought for a while, changed the direction of guidance, directed the remaining life energy to his forehead, and merged it into his own magic.
He felt a slight shock in his magic, and after calming down, he said: "Come in!"
Almost as soon as the voice fell, Fiona rushed into the door, and when she saw old Gordon, she was stunned.
She looked from top to bottom, and tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
During this period of time, although she couldn't show it in front of old Gordon, Fiona had always been tense in her heart, fearing that one day her grandfather would never wake up after falling asleep.
But now, not only has Old Gordon regained his former spirit, but he is even better than before. His face has become rosy, his breathing is very stable, and he has a smile on his lips. Even the wrinkles on his face have decreased a lot.
Although she went out obediently before, Fiona never thought that Raven could really cure her grandfather. This is a thorny problem that even alchemists and priests cannot solve!
"Baron, your magic is simply a miracle!"
This voice woke Old Gordon up. He opened his eyes and sat up: "Fiona, help me go to the kitchen to order something to eat, I'm hungry!"
After saying this, he saw Raven was still there, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Baron, I..."
"It's good to have an appetite, you can live if you can eat!" Raven smiled and stood up: "Since you are fine, I won't stay any longer, you have a good rest."
As he said, Raven turned and left, and Old Gordon actually stood up and sent Raven out the door with steady steps.
"Grandpa, are you really okay?" Fiona still couldn't believe her eyes.
"There is naturally no problem if the Baron takes action!" Old Gordon smiled.
This is not only flattering Raven, but there is actually no need to flatter the Baron in front of his granddaughter. Old Gordon feels energetic and vigorous at the moment, and even sees things more clearly, just like he is 20 years younger!
"Grandpa, I'll go to the kitchen to order food for you." Fiona smiled and nodded, trotting to the kitchen.
Fiona sighed in her heart.
The Baron is like a wide mountain range. He looks the same when you first meet him. The more you get to know him, the more you can find his greatness. And every time Fiona feels that she knows him better, she will find that he is shrouded in a more mysterious mist.
Not only is he capable, but he is also humble and polite.
Baron Raven is only 21 years old. He has cured her grandfather, but he has no intention of bragging.
If it were Master Weisdong, who is only six years younger than him, he would definitely shout it out to the whole world, and he might even make some unreasonable demands.
But the Baron has the nickname of Little Bee, but he has never made excessive demands on me, nor has he paid special attention to me. Is it... I am not pretty enough?
It's not that Fiona is not pretty enough, but Raven is not a sex-hungry ghost, who wants every one he sees.
The most important reason is Raven himself. During this period of time, he has never stopped meditating and has been strengthening his magic power with magic cores.
He just absorbed the remaining energy left by the treatment of old Gordon, pushing his magic power to the edge of the first level.
In fact, Raven always feels guilty when he says he is a magician, because after this period of magic core strengthening, his physical strength has reached the peak of the second-level knight. Even if he wrestles with Eric, as long as the other party does not use fighting spirit, it is difficult to tell the winner.
Now, it is finally time for Raven's magic power to break through.
He walked back to his room with a breeze, which scared Petie who was cleaning. The personal maid respectfully asked: "Baron, do you have any other instructions?"
Seeing her look, Raven smiled.
It is said that women are made of water, and it is true.
Since the last time the two of them played chess all night, which smoothed their relationship, Petty has become more docile and obedient.
Raven said: "Notify everyone that all my schedules today are cancelled. Don't let anyone disturb me."
Petty nodded and whispered: "Yes, Baron."
After that, he turned around and left, locking the door.
Raven took a light breath, took off his coat, and touched his belt with his hand. A cylindrical glass container with a height of about five centimeters and a diameter of about ten centimeters appeared. There was a pink solid in it, but if you look closely, it is flowing slowly like water.
This is the "Magic Lemongrass" sent by Archbishop Thomas. It is a second-level incense that can help magicians speed up their meditation efficiency by about 30%. If used for a long time, it can also subtly improve the user's elemental affinity.
Now this magical lemongrass has been burned halfway.
A few syllables flowed out of his mouth, and a cluster of flames ignited on Raven's fingers, lighting the magic-infused lemongrass. Suddenly, a faint orchid-like fragrance spread throughout the room.
Placing the magic-infused lemongrass on the bedside, Raven sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, slowly immersed himself in the world of meditation, and returned to the familiar deep starry sky again.
Against the inky black background, what he saw were star clusters everywhere, with different colors, representing different types of elements. Now it was summer, so the flame and light elements were particularly active and more numerous.
Moving his invisible spiritual body in the void, Raven approached a ball of light. Before he could think, the pink scent of the magic-infused lemongrass spread, pulling the light ball over and melting into Raven's spiritual body.
The magic power and mental power quietly grew a little at this moment.
In this way, Raven wandered in the void of the meditation world, constantly absorbing clusters of elements. After an unknown amount of time, the magic power in his body finally grew to a limit. If he wanted to absorb more elements, he would be bounced away.
"It's time." Raven said softly.
He exited meditation, but did not open his eyes. Instead, he activated the Eye of Truth and examined himself from the inside out.
The life seed of the knight is stored in the lower abdomen, which is the so-called "Dantian", while the magic power of the magician is stored in the brain, like a clear pool of water.
The mental power that is closely related to it is stored behind the eyebrows, which is why the eyes turn silver every time the mental power is used.
Now, the pool storing magic power has been filled, and the next thing to do is to purify it.
He took a deep breath, and the fragrance of the magic lemongrass poured into his nostrils, making Raven's mind clearer.
According to the records in the book, he cooperated with a magician's instinctive intuition about the path of promotion, and used mental power as a stick to stir the pool of magic power.
This action brought a slight dizziness, which was quickly soothed by the magic lemongrass.
As the spiritual power stirred, the magic pool water slowly began to boil, and the water level became lower and lower.
If you look from the outside at this time, you will find that Raven's face is flushed as if he has drunk too much wine.
When the water level dropped to a limit and was about to reveal the bottom of the pool, changes occurred.
Raven stopped stirring the spiritual power, but the remaining water did not calm down, but began to rotate and turn spontaneously, turning into a dark vortex!
Raven's perspective instantly split into two parts, one condensed on the surface of the magic pool water, and the other sank into the meditation space.
In the meditation space, a vortex that was no different from the vortex in the pool was born, but it was larger in scale. The surging suction generated attracted all the elemental light groups in the void, forming a slowly rotating bright nebula!
At the same time, the water in the magic pool began to rise slowly. The vortex was no longer absorbing, but was constantly spewing magic into the pool water, mixed with a trace of mysterious power.
This power expanded the depth and width of the magic pool, and also made Raven's mental power begin to transform, becoming more condensed and more sensitive!
The growth of magic power gradually stabilized.
If the original magic pool was just a puddle, it has now expanded into a fish pond.
At this moment, Raven is already a second-level magician!
The vortex in the magic power is always in motion, which is equivalent to the Dantian opened by the practitioners in the immortal cultivation novels. From then on, Raven's meditation efficiency and thinking efficiency have been greatly improved.
Starting from the second level, each subsequent upgrade can open up a new magic vortex, that is, a new Dantian.
This process is difficult and dangerous for most magicians, because when they break through, they only know to use mental power to stir the magic power, relying on instinct and sensitivity to magic power to judge the timing.
But the Eye of Truth allows Raven to clearly observe the changes in his own magic power and mental power, so that the breakthrough proceeds in an orderly manner, and each stirring is stuck at the right time.
Without this ability, Raven will be like most magicians when they break through for the first time. It takes several, dozens, or even dozens of attempts to succeed, and even cause the magic power to run wild, turning into a fool or idiot.
Opening his eyes, Raven stood up and took out the magic scroll he had obtained on the bloody highlands before.
During this period of time, Raven also exchanged necromancy with Margaret and learned some Danat Sven that only the Church of the Hand of Death would use. However, since he had not yet been promoted to the second level, he had put the scroll aside for the time being.
A silver light flashed in his eyes, and Raven searched the surface of the scroll with the Eye of Truth. After breaking through the second level, his mental power improved again, and now many details that he could not see before fell into his eyes.
"So that's how it is..." Raven smiled: "No wonder Savannah appeared on the bloody high ground."
He began to chant the spell softly, and on the scroll, gray-white rune pulses lit up, and a thick breath of death spread.
