Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

"I also got this thing. Do you know what it's used for?"

Elvina was slightly surprised. She took it in her hand and observed it for a while, then said with certainty:

"Dead soul crystals are usually dropped by powerful and obsessive undead. They are a mixture of soul power and the power of death, and have a wide range of uses..."

Obsession? No wonder only the second-level undead here drop items. The other first-level undead had long lost all their obsessions over the long years.

Since there was a tributary outside blocking the way out, Elvina simply started to do some science research, which was exactly what Luna wanted.

"It is often used in some alchemy, puppet and certain scroll crafts. It can also be used to make some special potions and scrolls. This kind of second-level quality is still quite expensive."

"It is most commonly used to cultivate certain spirits. There are even some brave potion masters who will make it into some kind of spiritual power growth potion... But the impurities left by this thing are difficult to remove, and using it to increase spiritual power will leave serious sequelae, so it is best not to do so..."

Elvina really knew a lot, and Luna had a rough idea of ​​the value of this thing. She did not take it back.

"Give this one to Miss Elvina. After all, I used up one of your second-level scrolls before."

"I just want a way to save my sister. Things like this are of no use to me."

I thought Elvina was going to return it, but she put it away with a slight smile:

"But this is a rare gift from Miss Luna, so I will accept it."

Luna suddenly felt that this noble girl sometimes seemed to have no common sense, but she was indeed very smart.

"In fact, I also gained something... During the time we were apart, I found a map..."

Elvina suddenly took out a blueprint and waved it in front of Luna.

There shouldn't be anything like this in the ruins, so she probably copied it herself. Elvina said with some pride:

"I found it in a shop outside. It's the route from this city to the capital. If the ruins of the capital are also in this secret place, the rewards there would be truly unimaginable!"

Considering that Miss Skeleton is in the secret realm, it is estimated that the ruins of the royal capital are really here.

but--

Luna looked at the somewhat happy Elvina and finally couldn't help asking:

"Even in the ruins of this city, such a terrifying existence appeared. We were almost trapped here. Do you still plan to explore the royal capital?"

"Of course not now!"

Elvina put on an "I'm not stupid" look, and looked a little angry. But with her appearance and temperament, she looked particularly beautiful and even cute.

"I can't do that now...but one day, someday in the future I will go and see it!"

Her tone remained very steady, filled with a strong determination that could not be refuted.

"What about you? Would you be willing to go there with me again in the future?"

If there is a chance, Luna will go after all. Not only for Elvina in front of her, but also for the promise with the skeleton lady.

Seeing her nod slightly, Elvina suddenly became happy, with an unconcealable smile on her face.

Just then, the tributary of Shadow Lake in the distance gradually stopped flowing. She stood up and looked up at the moon in the sky:

"I don't think there's anything I want here. But I have a feeling that I'll find it in the capital—"

It took Luna a long time to fully understand the determination in her eyes and what it meant.

201. Advanced method

After the Shadow Lake tributary ended, Luna and the others immediately returned.

Although Elvina wasted many treasures on this journey and gained almost nothing, she seemed to have completely understood her future direction, and there was no disappointment or gloom on her face.

As long as they didn't take the initiative to go to any dangerous places, with the strength of their group, they didn't encounter any major accidents and returned to the headquarters safely.

When Luna came, she was still some distance away from the peak of the first level. In less than a week, she was already quite close when she left. This speed of progress would probably be incredible to other wizards.

Normally, even if you use expensive secret treasures to increase progress, the speed will not be that exaggerated.

......

When she returned to her mansion, she saw the purple-haired, plump beauty Enissa dressing up. She turned around and looked at her, and said with a bit of disdain:

"You are covered in dust. Clean it up quickly."

Although I can clean myself quickly with magic, I am back home now, so of course it would be more comfortable to take a shower.

Anissa couldn't bear to see people, especially beautiful women, looking dirty.

He would even urge Luna from time to time not to be too casual.

Having lived with her for some time, Luna's wardrobe has had many more dresses, most of which were obtained by Anissa.

Anessa, who also resigned from her post during non-war periods, has completely become a homebody during this period. In addition to meditation and witchcraft practice, she looks forward to catching Luna and playing with her as a dress-up doll every once in a while.

After a while, Luna, who had changed into a light dress, black stockings on her legs, and whose silver hair was still slightly damp, found Anessa again.

She sat down next to Enissa, with her hands on her thighs, looking very ladylike. Then she began to praise her:

"Teacher, you have become much more beautiful recently."

"Really?"

"Yes, yes. It's simply amazing. When I came back and saw the instructor for the first time, I felt..."

"That's enough. You don't know how to praise people at all. Just tell me what you have to say."

"...Can you tell me about Advanced Wizards?"

Anessa looked at her deeply for a few times, sighed, and said after a long silence:

"Don't tell me that you have become a top wizard."

"No, no... Actually, it's still a little bit short."

Luna quickly shook her head, causing her soft silver hair to sway slightly behind her head.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter if you tell me now. You will definitely encounter it in the future anyway."

Purple-haired Anissa lightly pointed in front of the two of them, and a faintly bright object appeared in the air. Its outline could be clearly seen, carrying the aura of Anissa's spiritual power.

"The completely materialized spiritual power is the biggest difference between a second-level advanced wizard and a first-level formal wizard. You should have experienced it."

She felt a little embarrassed when she said this, after all, it was her blood that went berserk and attacked Luna. After calming down, she continued:

"The quality of materialized mental power is far stronger than that of semi-materialized mental power. It is the basis for performing second-level witchcraft. Even if it is used purely for mental attacks, it is difficult for ordinary first-level wizards to defend against it."

"To achieve this level of mental strength, it requires years of training and accumulation, the perfection of the elementalization level, the occasional stimulation from fighting strong enemies, and even some magic potions that assist in breakthroughs."

"But if we have to say what is the most crucial thing, for us bloodline wizards, of course the most important thing is the power of bloodline."

Since embarking on this path, the power of blood has become a topic that bloodline wizards can never avoid.

"You know, many extraordinary creatures with powerful bloodlines, as long as they live in a suitable environment and occasionally obtain some medicinal herbs and secret treasures that assist their growth, can naturally reach the upper limit of their bloodlines after they reach adulthood."

"In theory, as long as the bloodline is strong enough, you can successfully reach the next level."

"There is a problem with bloodline wizards. After all, we are not the original bloodline creatures, but humans who have obtained the bloodline of an alien species, so there will be some discounts. The help of the bloodline will be greatly reduced, so we must think of other ways."

At this point, Anessa looked at Luna with some curiosity:

"Do you have blood? Is it that the witch formation of a simple organization cannot detect it, or is there another reason?"

"This... I'm not sure either."

The moonlight witchcraft has been exposed to Anessa. The bloodline wizards will definitely think that this is the blessing of bloodline power. It seems a bit wrong to insist that they are mortal wizards.

But Luna really couldn't explain her own situation accurately, and there were still many mysteries about her that had not been solved.

"In short, because human wizards themselves are not creatures of the source of blood, their lifespan is generally not as long as those of extraordinary races and magical beasts...it is still unrealistic to rely on bloodlines to wait for advancement."

"To this end, we will use secret methods, superior blood essences, special secret treasures, etc. to stimulate the potential of the blood in a short period of time, thereby generating a huge driving force that can promote the advancement of wizards."

Because Enissa's bloodline was mutated, and she had no predecessors to refer to. In fact, she had no hope of advancing in a short period of time, and basically could only rely on grinding slowly.

But she didn't expect that after entering the secret realm, her blood suddenly became active, giving Anissa hope of immediate promotion. Of course, the consequences were also a bit disastrous.

"So in general, the other methods are just auxiliary and can only increase the probability slightly. In the end, it still comes down to the bloodline itself..."

What Luna is more confused about is whether she has blood or not. If she needs external stimulation to activate her blood, what should she do?

In this regard, she also faced similar troubles as Anissa. Without any predecessors to refer to, she didn't know how to stimulate the potential of her bloodline.

"Don't even think about the secret methods. Generally speaking, some secret treasures that match your bloodline type, the power of the upper bloodline, etc., are the mainstream ways to advance."

Grein of the Helit family was successfully promoted mainly by relying on the essence and blood of the third-level Ice Snake King, and it seems to be working very well.

As for Luna, for now, she can only think of the gift from the Silver Moon Goddess.

But at least twice she came into contact with the moonlight essence, she didn't feel like she could break through the bottleneck of advancement. Was it because her strength at that time was not enough? Or was it because the amount of moonlight essence was too little?

"Come to think of it, weren't there few bloodline wizards in ancient times? How did they advance?"

"There are many schools of thought... but the mainstream one is to push your mental strength to its limit through constant meditation and the extensive use of secret treasures or potions, and you will naturally be promoted. This is very dependent on the environment of the ancient times."

Well, great force works wonders.

202. Omissions

"By the way, Luna, your elementalization progress is very fast, but how is your total mental strength now?"

Anessa asked another question, which made Luna stunned for a moment.

She quickly came to her senses and said hesitantly:

"I have a first-level spiritual power growth potion in my hand. I have been using it since I was promoted... It shouldn't be a big hindrance, right?"

As if realizing something was wrong, Enissa looked more serious and asked:

"Other than that?"

"Besides this...there's nothing else? Meditation can also increase mental strength, although it's not very obvious."

The two looked at each other, and finally Anessa covered her forehead and whispered:

"Hurry up and test your mental strength."

After realizing something was wrong, Luna released her own mental power, which was then sensed and measured by Enissa's materialized mental power.

Finally, she concluded:

"Your total mental power is probably at the middle stage of the first stage, which is far less than your mental power elementalization progress. This is very strange... Normally this is impossible."

After Anessa's detailed explanation, Luna finally discovered the problem.

The progress of the transformation of mental power into elements will increase the wizard's affinity for a certain elemental faction, and directly determine the increase in the power of the wizard's witchcraft.

Therefore, this indicator is regarded as the most important criterion for judging the strength of a first-level formal wizard.

"The progress of the elemental transformation of first-level peak wizards has also reached perfection, which can make their witchcraft twice as powerful as that of first-level wizards. Naturally, they also need more than twice the mental power of first-level wizards to control it."

This is a matter of course. After the power of witchcraft has been greatly improved, you need stronger observation and control to control your own magic, otherwise problems will arise.

In other words, the growth of spiritual power and the progress of spiritual elementalization of official wizards are almost consistent, or at least not too different.

Anisha finally couldn't help but ask:

"In your situation, will there really be no problems when casting spells? For ordinary wizards, the gap between the two is so big that it is easy for their own witchcraft to backfire."

"Well, nothing has gone wrong so far..."

Luna thought about it and almost understood the reason.

The amplification of the two runes "Observation" and "Control" that she had neglected had actually been playing a role.

Since she first became a formal wizard, these two abilities immediately reached the level of a top formal wizard. It was only because her mental power failed to materialize that she was slightly inferior to a second-level wizard.

This led to Luna only complaining that the power of her witchcraft was not strong enough, and she never felt that she was unable to cast spells and control them.

There has never been any backlash from casting mistakes.

In addition, wizards who rely on long-term meditation to increase their strength generally do not have much difference in these two items. Only wizards like Luna who use external objects to improve rapidly will face this situation.

"In any case, you'd better improve your mental strength as soon as possible. Even if you reach the peak of elementalization, you won't be able to advance to the next level."

"All right......"
