Darkening Guardian Knight

"Okay, you have to work hard." Seeing that the black-haired girl had really reached her limit, Royed had no choice but to leave her behind and move on with Joey and Flimm.

Joey and Flim did not give up on Kate, but under Kate's persuasion, they both chose to move forward to get more benefits.

But when the three of them really reached the end of the first floor and saw the stairs leading to the second floor, Joey and Flimm also reached a critical point, struggling to resist the pressure of the mental power of the peak of the first level.

"It seems that you have almost reached your limit, let's part here." Royard said to the two girls, "This is the area of ​​the peak of the first level. You should be able to reach the second level as long as you practice here for a while, and then go to the second floor to practice. The speed there will be faster."

"Don't." Contrary to Royard's expectation, the usually well-behaved Joey became stubborn here, "I think I can go on, go to the second floor now!"

"But, didn't Kate just say..."

"I want to become stronger! I can't always be protected by Sister Kate." Joey gritted his teeth and said, "I know, I don't think this floor is my limit, I... can climb to the second floor!"

No.30 Eight knot limit

"Is there really no problem?" Lloyd asked cautiously.

In principle, as a fellow traveler, he should take care of the two new magicians, especially since they are Kate's friends.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Kate.

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded vigorously, "I have a hunch that I can break through to the second level here!"

"I...I'm going too!" Seeing Joey's hard work, Flinm was also moved.

She knows that she is not as talented as a little girl, and she doesn't want to be compared to the past in terms of effort.So she asked to go on, at least to the second floor.

"Really, one or two are so serious, and I have convinced you." Seeing that the two of them were so persistent, Royard had no choice but to let go, "Hey, okay, okay. But let me make it clear first, if you don't support If you go down, you will immediately return to the first floor, do you understand?"

Joey and Flim naturally had no objections, and Royard's consent was originally sought for this layer of protection.

Although Flym doesn't like Royard very much, he has to admit that the latter is still stronger now.

"understand!"

The two responded to Royard almost in unison.

So, Joey and Flim climbed up to the second floor of the Demon Refining Tower with great difficulty.

Here, the mental coercion was even more terrifying, forcing the two of them to barely breathe.But at the same time, the conditions here are also better, the natural elemental force is stronger than that of the first floor, obviously, the speed of magic way cultivation here will be faster.

"It seems that this is your limit." Royard patted the second daughter's shoulder and said, "Cultivate here, you will definitely become stronger, so don't rush forward, be content."

"Well, thank you for bringing us here, brother Lloyd."

"Thanks."

Joey and Flinm also understand that it is the limit to reach the second floor with their own strength at the first level, and if they want to go further, they have to make a breakthrough in cultivation.So both of them thanked Royard, explaining that they would practice well here.

"You're welcome, it's just on the way." Royard waved his hand indifferently, and turned his gaze to the stairs leading to a higher place, "Then next, I should try my limit—"

Royard was gone, and he was on his own, on his way to a higher level.Of the four, he had the strongest mental power, and therefore traveled the furthest, reaching the third tower with little effort.

"At the third floor, the intensity of the natural elemental force is almost double that of the first floor. Correspondingly, the coercion of the spiritual force is also stronger, but it is far from enough to shake me."

While walking, Royard thought, "Where can I go with my cultivation?"

He never slowed down, came from behind, surpassed many people, and directly crossed the third floor.

But when he reached the fourth floor, Royard finally felt a little strenuous.His mental power is about the level of the upper level four, and the coercion of the lower level of mental power can already affect him.

He went on and finally came to the end of the fourth floor and saw the steps leading to the fifth floor.However, it couldn't go on any longer, his spiritual power was squeezed to the limit here, and he could clearly feel it.Even if he took another step forward, he might pass out.

"Tsk, there's no other way. I hope I can break through level five here." Royard sighed, a little regretful, but suppressed the restlessness in his heart, sat down where he was, and wanted to practice here.

At this time, an hour had passed since everyone entered the Demon Refining Tower.

No.30 Nine Sections Reflection

Kate is bored now.

Among those who can enter the Demon Refining Tower, almost no one will stay on the first floor.

So Kate, who stayed alone in the middle and second half of the first floor, felt very lonely for no reason.

In fact, with her true spiritual power, she can definitely ascend to the fourth or fifth floor.However, due to the blood of the forbidden demon, her ability was too restricted, and her remaining mental power was only the middle level of the first level.

It is also for this reason that her spiritual power is actually not greatly oppressed, but she needs to mobilize her mental power to control the power of the forbidden demon bloodline if she moves forward, and there is a danger of unsealing the power of the curse.Therefore, she dared not move forward, so she could only stay here.

Fortunately, even so, Kate's spiritual power is indeed growing, and the speed of practice here is obviously faster than in the outside world.

As for magic power, Kate said that she deserves to be an F-level talent.

Although her mental power grew faster under this situation, it was very limited. However, under this circumstance, Kate's magic power and spiritual power progressed similarly, and the growth rate of the two was almost the same!

You must know that Kate's mental power is equivalent to the fifth level, and her magic power is the real middle level of the first level.

It stands to reason that her spiritual power should be more difficult to improve, but for her, it is more difficult to improve her magic power.

Kate was very helpless, and realized the pity of poor talent.But there is no way, talent is not something she can decide.Now that he has lost at the starting line, he must find a way to remedy it.

It's just that although Kate has an idea, she can't put it into practice.It is really too difficult to improve the talent. Throughout the ages, many magicians have tried to change their talents, but they all failed.

"Changing talent... is really too difficult. It will inevitably change the foundation of the human body. However, this cannot be done. If it is done, will the transformed person really be the same as before?" Kate thought very thoroughly. She knew that she could not change the so-called talent, and she did not intend to change it.

She sat down and began to think about another thing - what principle does this high tower of refining demons use to speed up the practice speed of the magicians in the tower?She wanted to understand it.

Kate is certainly not the first person to have such doubts since the existence of the Demon Refining Tower.

But she is definitely the first person in the tower to study this matter.

Because very few people would do things other than cultivation in the tower, every minute and every second here is precious, and no one would want to waste the opportunity to become stronger in meaningless thinking.

But Kate's situation is very special. Even if she goes to meditation, she can't make greater progress.In her opinion, staying in this high tower for three days is not enough to satisfy her.

Therefore, what she was thinking at this time was: Can she research the working principle of this demon refining tower, and then go back and build a replica by herself.

"It's difficult to create an environment with a high concentration of natural elemental power, but it's not impossible." Kate analyzed, "The elemental power in this alchemy tower should come from the outside world. Absorb the elemental power in nature and put it in In a sealed space that is not too wide, this kind of space filled with natural elemental force can be created."

"But the real difficulty lies in the coercion of mental power... This is not something that exists in nature."

"Is it man-made? A master of level [-] or [-] can create this kind of effect. But it's impossible to specially ask a high-level magician to help me practice, right?"

Kate continued to think about it, thinking about a high tower that can operate without manpower, "Or does it rely on some special magic props? The props related to the spiritual level are absolutely expensive, at least hundreds of millions of Guangming coins, and I definitely can't afford them."

"Is there any other way to oppress the mental power?" Kate continued to think, trying to find a way to solve this problem. "The herbal medicine that Teacher Luna gave me at that time also had a similar effect, but unfortunately I don't know what the formula is."

"Hey, could it be like that... If this idea is true, the so-called Demon Refining Tower is actually nothing more than a spur prop."

Kate suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and had a wonderful idea, "If I exhaust my mental power every time, wouldn't that be equivalent to oppressing it? And the thing that consumes the most mental power is to constantly cast magic!"

"The process of casting magic squeezes both mental power and magic power, causing the mental power to grow under oppression. At the same time, this is squeezing the body's potential, forcing the body to absorb external magic power to speed up the process of cultivation. "

But this method has limitations. The first is the problem of magic power. The natural recovery speed of magic power is very slow.

If it is exhausted, it will take half a day to recover. This shows that although this method is similar to the principle of accelerating cultivation in the Demon Refining Tower, it cannot be implemented at all.

In the high tower of refining demons, it is through the natural elemental force in which the concentration is much higher than that of the outside world that the magic power in the body is suppressed, which makes the speed of practice so fast.

But if Kate wanted to do it elsewhere, it was futile.Even if her theory is correct, consuming a lot of mana and mental power does help improve the level of magic.

But this state cannot be maintained without a large amount of mana replenishment.

It was mentioned in the textbook that someone had done a similar experiment a long time ago. Casting spells by consuming all the magic power again and again could not significantly speed up the cultivation speed, but it could increase the magic proficiency, but that would put the cart before the horse.

So in the old days, someone proposed that if one wanted to cultivate the magic way well, apart from being gifted, the best way was to meditate honestly, and other shortcuts were crooked ways.

But Kate felt that the conclusions of the textbook were not all right.If the magic power can be replenished when the magic power is exhausted, then the speed of cultivation must be much faster than ordinary meditation.

It’s just that it’s very difficult to do this. Even if it’s a pure physique, it will take a while to buffer after one-time consumption of mana. It’s impossible to refill it instantly, and if you can’t do it instantly, you won’t be able to achieve the effect of accelerated cultivation. .

In fact, there is a potion that restores magic power in a short time, but it is a very precious magic potion, and Kate can't afford it with her current financial resources, let alone use it for cultivation.

"Is there really no way?" Kate was distressed.

After all, this is something that no one has done for hundreds of years.No matter how good Kate's understanding is, it is impossible to find a solution easily.

No.40 Reflections

After negating the hundreds of plans she had thought of, Kate wanted to give up: "Sure enough, it can't be done. To simulate the effect of the alchemy tower, you must solve the problem of instant recovery of mana. But if it can be done, it will be a world-class invention!"

"At the end of the day, recovering magic power instantly is too scary. There is no buffer time, which destroys a certain balance."

Kate thought for a while and couldn't help sighing, "Those magic potions with this effect are actually just storing magic power that can be absorbed immediately. However, in nature, there are too few materials that can directly absorb magic power. Most of them require magicians to spend time and mental power to assimilate them and transform them into their own magic power."

"It would be nice if you could store your magic power, so that you can use it directly without transformation."

Kate said in distress, "But how to store it? Once the magician's magic power leaves the magician for too long, it will be out of control, return to nature, and become ordinary natural elemental power."

Kate thinks this principle is very similar to raising horses. Magicians assimilating elemental power into magic power is actually a process of catching horses, while practicing spiritual power is to train horse trainers, and practicing magic power is to expand the horse farm.

In the end, the magician uses magic, and Kate compares it to selling horses. Paying magic power to get the magic that the magician wants to cast is the same as the horse breeder selling the horses for a living.

As for the sold horses, or the horses that were released, the horse breeder will definitely not be able to get them back. For this reason, he must breed new horses or capture new wild horses.

The same goes for magic power, except that it cannot mate and reproduce, and naturally there is no such thing as cultivation. It can only be recovered by magicians assimilating elemental power.

"Unless the place where the magic is stored is itself a part of the magician's body." Kate thought of this, and she was laughed at by herself, "Isn't that nonsense? The magician's magic power reserve itself represents the magician's magic power level. If you can have enough magic power reserves, why do you need to increase the magic power level..."

"Wait, I seem to understand something." Suddenly, Kate couldn't laugh anymore, and she suddenly thought of a very crucial point - why is the magic power level not the magic power reserve level?

In Kate's impression, the two are almost equal.However, if you think about it carefully, you can find that there is a difference between the two, and there is a big difference.

She thought of the third prince Jeno with pure physique.At that time, Luna commented on this physique to Carter, saying that the owner of a pure physique has almost endless magic power. The magic power here refers to the reserve of magic power, not the level of magic power.

Otherwise, the holder of a pure physique doesn't need to practice magic at all, as long as he keeps honing his mental power, or even directly takes drugs to improve his mental power, he can become a master of magic.

Now that I think of this, the conclusion is very clear. The magic power level and the magic power reserve are not equal signs, so what does the magic power level represent?

On the basis of so many conditions, the answer can be easily drawn: the difference between the two lies in the things that pure physique cannot do!

So what can pure physique not do?When she was Carter, Kate had fought Jeno before, so she was very clear about this matter.Even with pure physique, one cannot use magic that exceeds one's current strength.

She remembered that Jeno forcibly used common-level magic at that time.But that was his limit, not only the limit of mental power, but also the limit of magic power-this is what Kate realized after becoming a magician.

The magician's spellcasting must be done in one go, and the materials for spells and gestures must be prepared in advance, and the same is true for magic power.

In the traditional form of magic, the mana required for the magic must be paid for at one time, otherwise the magic will not be activated.

The reason for this is also very simple. When the magician releases the magic power, the magic power has already begun to return to nature, and the magician's control over this magic power will weaken.

The essence of magic is to guide and restrain it with pre-prepared incantations and materials when the magic power is released, so that it can form the so-called "magic" form.

So if you don't pay enough magic power in one go, you may fail to cast the spell due to insufficient magic power, and you will spend the magic power in vain, or the spell will be cast successfully, but the desired effect will not be achieved.

So, Kate realized that the level of magic power does not indicate the amount of magic power reserves, but "the upper limit of the magician's own magic power", that is, "the maximum amount of magic power that can be used at one time".

As soon as she came to this conclusion, she immediately had another association: "That is to say, although the level of magic power can only be relied on by oneself, it is possible to accumulate magic power reserves through external forces?"

"Yes, as long as there is a space that belongs to the magician completely, a space that is completely controlled by the magician, then there is a possibility."

Kate thought of this, and suddenly became enlightened, "This kind of space is not impossible to create, as long as a space is completely refined with spiritual power. But this is also difficult, and the mental power must be strong enough."

"But speaking of this kind of space, isn't the space in the black bead exactly like that? I can feel that everything in it can be moved at will..."

Kate thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Perhaps, it is worth a try."

No.40 out of the tower

"Perhaps, it is worth a try." Kate smiled, "If the black bead space is really what I imagined, then maybe it can store my magic power as a magic tool for storing magic power. In that case , my previous theory may become a reality.”

Kate couldn't wait, and immediately put this idea into practice.She injected all her remaining magic power into the space of the black bead, and found that it was really feasible. In the space of the black bead, her magic power did not disappear into natural elemental power, but always existed and could be used by Kate.

"It's really possible!" Kate said in surprise, "The black beads are really not ordinary, and the space inside can even be used as a magic storage item."

Solving one of the most critical problems, the next difficulty lies in how to store a sufficient amount of magic power.

But it is a coincidence that Kate recovers her magic power very quickly in this demon refining tower with abundant natural elemental power. Whenever she sends all her magic power into the black bead space, a large amount of elemental power will pour into her body, into her magic.

Then Kate sent the recovered magic power into the black bead space again.

This is equivalent to using Kate's body as a transfer station to transform the sufficient natural elemental power in the alchemy tower into Kate's magic power in the black bead space.

During this process, Kate has to empty her magic power every time.To be honest, it was very uncomfortable, and my whole body was resisting my will.But she gritted her teeth and survived. She regarded this as her own training, a kind of training.

Sweat kept rolling down her soft pretty face, and Kate was exhausted from the continuous transformation and transmission of magic power, but she didn't stop.She knows that her talent is too weak, and only by working hard can she have a chance to improve.

Facts have proved that this kind of hard work is rewarding, and Kate can feel that her magic power level is significantly improving.

Constantly draining my magic power has indeed greatly promoted the progress of magic power. Originally, it would take at least a week for Kate's magic power level to increase.
