Lord Harland

Chapter 208 Five-Ring Magician

In the unfinished magic tower, Richard also found a complete meditation book of death.

Richard flipped it open and found that this meditation method required the condensation of the power of the dead.

The meditation method of the Book of Death can be practiced to the second legendary level, and its quality is even higher than the highland meditation method practiced by Richard.

An additional legendary meditation method broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge, which was very helpful for Richard to study meditation.

The information and meditation methods left by the necromancer were copied by Harland Territory and Dawn Church respectively. The remaining necromancers became Richard's captives and were taken back to Harland Territory by him and temporarily guarded.

After dispelling the death fog, Richard looked at the unfinished mage tower with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

The mage tower has built an element pool and installed a magic core of a legendary monster as energy. The magician of the Death Tower arranged a magic array, and the legendary magic core can automatically absorb magic energy particles in the air to provide a steady supply of energy for the magic tower.

Such a magic tower energy room is already an artificial magic well, and its value is very high.

In the entire Grant Kingdom, there is only one natural and one artificial magic well, which belong to the royal family and Duke Jonathan respectively.

Even the magic tower built by the Duke of York does not have an energy room that gathers magic power, and the use of magic power can only consume magic crystals.

The preciousness of the semi-finished magic tower can be seen from this.

Only the Dawn Church is rich and powerful, and controls a lot of magic wells. In addition, Richard's identity is special, and he is a named figure in the Dawn Church's high-level officials. Only then would the bishop of Geda Province, Deng Lejin, give up this place and give the magic tower to the Harland territory.

Half of this magic tower is built underground.

The energy room and the foundation of the magic tower are melted together and cannot be moved.

The core of the energy room, the legendary magic beast magic core, cannot be disassembled.

The location of the magic tower is not far from the Harland territory, but it is in the wilderness.

Richard was very reluctant to give up this magic tower, but he continued to build it. This piece of land is not within the scope of Harland's territory. Once this area is granted to others by the king, there will be disputes over the ownership of the territory, which will be very troublesome.

After careful consideration, Richard decided to give up this place temporarily. After making military achievements, he asked Nolan to reward this area, and then developed the swamp basin and built the wizard tower.

After making up his mind, Richard made some covers on the wizard tower to prevent passers-by from noticing.

In fact, the swamp basin is deep in the Eagle Mountains. Except for the demon hunters sent by Harland's territory, it is impossible for outsiders to be active in this area.

Even the orcs would not choose to pass through the swamp basin when they went south.

Richard's move was actually unnecessary. This area has been in a barren state for thousands of years.

After Richard disguised the ruins of the wizard tower, he did not leave anyone in the wizard tower. He took a dozen captives and returned to Harland with Deng Lejin and others.

Deng Lejin observed the development of Harland Territory along the way, and said to Richard before returning to Lightburg: "The territory has developed well, and priests can be arranged to move in."

Harland Territory has been under development in recent years, and no church has been stationed there.

Believers are very common in this world. The Church of the Dawn and the Church of Kingship and Order are the best developed in the Grant Kingdom. There are also some believers in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Generally speaking, most of the lower class are believers of the Dawn Church, and the upper class has more believers in the Church of Kingship and Order. Merchants believe in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, and scholars are mostly believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Richard is a nobleman, and he should believe in the God of Kingship and Order. After all, the Church of Kingship and Order protects the interests of the nobles. The butt determines the head, and as long as they are nobles, they will of course believe in the God of Kingship and Order.

But the Harland family is the first generation of nobles, and their ancestors for three generations have been believers of the Goddess of Dawn.

The three William brothers all studied at the Dawn Church School, so they naturally believed in the Dawn Goddess. Richard had the three views formed in his previous life, and he was basically a non-believer.

Although Richard did not want to expose the situation of the territory to outsiders, he had no suitable excuse to refuse the Dawn Church from entering the territory to spread the faith.

Besides, the people in the territory had a need for faith, and since Deng Lejin proposed it, Richard agreed to it.

"Fort William, Fort Station, and Fort Sophia are still on the front line and will face various dangers. The church is not suitable for building in these frontline fortresses for the time being. This year I will build churches in Fort Vick and Fort Malte, and welcome the church's pastors to move in."

After sending Deng Lejin away, the Dawn Church sent clergy before the church was built. It seems that Deng Lejin attaches great importance to the Harland territory, and the two churches sent eleven clergy.

The bishop is Sanders, a fourth-level priest, the deputy bishop is Dennis, a third-level priest, and there is a first-level priest Carano. The remaining clergy are four third-level warriors and four high-level priest apprentices.

Sanders is in charge of the Vickburg Church, and Dennis is in charge of the Malte Castle.

Because the Harland Territory is on the front line of the northern border, it does not need to pay tithes, and the daily expenses of the church must be borne by the Dawn Church itself.

But the Dawn Church is not short of money at all.

According to the division of the Seven Gods Church, the Grant Kingdom belongs to the parish controlled by the Dawn Church and the Kingship and Order God Church. As long as it is not the first line of defense against orcs, other areas need to pay tithes. The Kingship and Order Church gets one-third of this money, and the Dawn Church gets two-thirds.

More than 600,000 tithes can be distributed every year, which is more than enough to maintain the daily expenses of the Dawn Church of the Grant Kingdom.

There are thirteen low-level members of the captured Death Tower, two of whom are magicians and nine apprentices.

These people have not committed capital crimes after being interrogated by Deng Lejin.

However, they joined the Death Tower and learned the necromancy. In order to avoid being controlled by high-level necromancers to do evil, they are temporarily handed over to the custody of the Harland Territory.

The members of the Death Tower are selected from civilians.

Some of these low-level magicians have joined the Death Tower for more than 20 years, and some have joined the organization for less than half a year.

The main reason why they can survive is that they did not do evil and did not kill living people in order to study necromancy.

After returning to the territory, Richard prohibited these people from continuing to study and learn necromancy, and temporarily made them preparatory members of the Harland Mage Association, opened some basic knowledge of mages to them, and then began to study the meditation method of the Book of Death.

Including the Book of Death, Richard has read three high-level meditation methods.

Richard has his own understanding of magic and the fundamentals of meditation.

The core of meditation is to absorb magic particles and promote the advancement of magic. Every time a magician advances, the core is to expand and solidify the mental space.

The meditation method of the Book of Death also absorbs magic particles of the attribute of death.

After practicing the Book of Death, the magician's soul will adapt to the magic particles of the attribute of death.

Once the magic particles of other attributes are absorbed and refined, conflicts will break out in the soul.

Not only that, magic particles also have special volatility.

Practicing the meditation method of the Book of Death can only refine magic particles of a special volatility.

Absorbing and refining other magic particles of death attributes will also cause trouble.

Relying on magic particles of death attributes will build a special mental space.

Once the Book of Death is abandoned and other meditation methods are learned, mental space conflicts will be caused in the underlying logic.

From this understanding, it can be easily concluded that magicians cannot easily change after practicing meditation.

Although the conditions for studying microscopic magic particles were not mature, Richard began to compile a new meditation method through learning and thinking.

This meditation method is a fire-attribute meditation method, which was named the Book of Flame by Richard.

It took more than two months, and Richard has compiled this meditation method to the fifth level, which can be practiced to the second ring.

After compiling the meditation method, it is natural to find someone to experiment.

It happened that this year, He'an Primary School discovered two children with magic talent. Through Sofia's test, it was found that one child had the highest affinity for the fire element.

So this little girl named Bella was the first member to practice the Book of Flame.

Bella's talent is not bad, barely reaching the middle level, not as good as Annie, but better than other apprentices.

Last winter, Annie advanced to a high-level magic apprentice. According to her meditation progress, she should be able to become a formal magician in two years.

Created a new meditation method, giving Richard very good meditation feedback.

During this period, he was very close to the essence of magic, and the effect of meditation was also very good. In just two or three months, the experience of meditation method increased by 20,000.

This phenomenon is not the first time that Richard has seen it. It happened once when he invented the blood type identification spell, which lasted for more than ten days and increased his meditation experience by more than three thousand.

It happened again when he created the brute force armor, which lasted for more than a month.

It was a little worse when he created the light armor, probably because he had too many similar thoughts, which manifested in the meditation method. It only lasted for two or three days and increased his experience by one thousand.

After creating the meditation method, it lasted the longest time, and actually raised Richard's magician level to the fifth level.

It takes 70,000 experience points to upgrade a fifth-level professional. If Richard meditates at his normal speed, it will take about twenty years to advance.

But if he has new insights in magic research, the feedback from meditation will be much better. A great innovation may allow him to be promoted to the sixth level in two or three years.

Sophia learned spatial geometry knowledge that year and created a new magic called teleportation, which quickly promoted her to the fifth level.

It has been six years since she advanced to the fifth level.

For six years, Sophia has been very hard at meditation. Even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, she still meditates every day, trying not to delay her research on magic.

Unfortunately, she has not made any new magic achievements in the past six years, but Richard and Wendy have made continuous progress in their magic level.

After Wendy created the ultrasonic detection magic, she advanced to the fourth ring magician in February this year. Wendy has studied magic for eight years and has become a mid-level magician, which is considered very talented.

After advancing to the mid-level magician, Wendy signed a Warcraft partner contract with the Flame Spider Queen.

Although there are no new magic achievements and the effect of meditation is average, Sofia's elemental affinity is very good. After entering May, she successfully broke through to the sixth ring magician. If it weren't for the delay of giving birth, Sofia should have completed the advancement before Richard.

Entering the 3260th year of the Dawn Calendar, the Harland Magic Association has developed very rapidly. Not only has it recruited new magic apprentices, but it has also incorporated thirteen low-level members of the Death Tower, and the association's high-level magic level has also made progress.

Now the Mage Association has 25 people, including the reserve members.

In terms of scale, it has exceeded several earldoms, and even has two more people than the Marquis Guevara Mage Association.

After a few more years, when the wizard apprentices grow up, Richard can also be incorporated into the wizard group in the army.

After obtaining the human experiment data of the Death Tower and mastering new knowledge, Richard entered the busy magic research again.

The Death Tower is not only good at creating magic plagues, but also has in-depth research on blood synthesis and soul control. Their understanding of the essence of life far exceeds that of the Harland Territory Hospital.

By studying the human experiment data of the Death Tower and combining the knowledge learned in his previous life, Richard's understanding of the plague in the Dawn Plane has become more and more in-depth. In May, he improved the spell of eliminating the plague.

Eliminating the plague is a fourth-ring magic. This magic can borrow magic particles to kill harmful bacteria and viruses in the human body. It can be said to be the nemesis of various plagues.

Using this magic, plague, smallpox, influenza, malaria, cholera, etc. can be treated. Even the magic plague developed by the undead wizard has a very strong restraining effect.

Although the spell improved by Richard is not as effective as the original one, the threshold for casting is much lower.

The magic runes have been optimized a lot and turned into a one-ring spell.

In order to distinguish it from the original plague removal spell, Richard named this spell Plague Treatment.

The improvement of this magic has a great impact on society.

Normally, once a plague breaks out, it spreads very quickly.

Compared with the speed of the spread of the plague, the healing power of the church and magicians is far from enough.

A county usually has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are often only one or two four-ring magicians. Even if the magic power is exhausted, plus the power of the church, it can only treat ten people a day.

Such a treatment strength is a drop in the bucket for the spread of the plague, and can only treat some important people.

Although the Dawn Plane has a powerful means of treating the plague, it is a pity that it can only serve a few people.

Plague is still a big problem for humans.

Hundreds of years ago, even because of a plague, half of the human kingdom was destroyed. A large-scale plague epidemic may kill more than 10 million people.

The threat of plague to humans may be stronger than that of the Orc Empire.

Richard's improved magic has lowered the threshold for plague treatment, allowing low-level magicians and priests to use plague expulsion.

In a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands, the number of people who can be treated every day will increase to hundreds.

Not only will ordinary people benefit, but the speed of plague spread can also be suppressed. Especially for the Dawn Church, such a spell is very suitable for harvesting faith and expanding the parish.

After Richard wrote a letter to Deng Lejin, Deng Lejin immediately decided to exchange resurrection with Richard.
