Chapter 190 Read, Read, and Read Again! [Subscribe]
He carefully examined his own state.
Chen Xuan took several deep breaths with a long breath.
After closing his eyes, he could actively close his perception, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The range of the spiritual power of a third-level silver caster can reach 55 meters to 100 meters.
Compared with the maximum range of 20 meters at the second-level bronze level, it can be said to be a significant improvement.
Within the range that the spiritual power can cover, he can perceive and lock everything in detail.
He can also turn the spiritual power into substance at the right time to attack or interfere with the enemy.
The materialized spiritual power is similar to telekinesis, which is a manifestation of using spiritual will to influence reality.
It is said that the spiritual power meditation method, like the magic element practice method, will usher in a qualitative change at the fourth level and obtain a significant improvement.
In addition to the range change, the multiple of super-sensory vision has also changed from 0.7 to 0.5. The enemy's movements in battle are "half-frame" for him, and will become extremely slow.
At the same time, the visual zoom and perception enhancement are also significantly improved.
These are the "by-products" brought about by the improvement of the level of mental meditation.
For Chen Xuan, what he is looking at is the magic learning after the threshold is broken.
A spellcaster who does not master much magic is equivalent to a tiger with bad teeth.
In other words, magic is the core factor of the spellcaster's combat effectiveness.
However, magic of different levels requires corresponding mental meditation cultivation to support it.
For a guy like Chen Xuan who has mastered the talent of all-system element sensing and can practice all kinds of magic without limit, the benefits of learning as much magic as possible have long exceeded the simple improvement of the cultivation level.
At this time, he has become a third-level spellcaster and can learn various magics of the third level and below.
He has already made arrangements for this.
The magician tower in each place has a collection of magic books of various systems.
It can be studied and learned by registered spellcasting members based on their contribution.
Chen Xuan can now directly get these magic books for free.
After completing the training goal ahead of time, he estimated that there were only three or four minutes left in the outside world, so he stopped training and took out the bedding from the storage compartment, lay down comfortably, and soon fell asleep.
Although the way of connecting the magic element training with the mental power meditation method can be called "perpetual motion" training, in fact, deep fatigue cannot be relieved without sleep for a long time.
Especially for long-term repetitive training, the boring process will bring mental pollution.
Sleep is equivalent to restarting the process to clear redundant mental garbage.
Outside the [Time Slows Down] field, Anqila Lord watched Chen Xuan take out the quilt at a speed of 1200 times fast forward, and then tossed and turned in his sleep.
Until three or four minutes later, the water clock dripped completely, and the gray light shield with ripples slowly broke.
The time flow rate inside and outside returned to the synchronous state.
It represents the end of this round of [Time Slows Down].
When the light shield completely disappeared, the difference between inside and outside appeared.
In the area covered by the [Time Slows] domain, except for the area where Chen Xuan was active, other places were covered with a thin layer of dust that could be seen with the naked eye.
Chen Xuan stretched and put away the bedding.
Then he touched his flat stomach, took out a few protein energy bars, bit open the packaging bag and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.
Anqila hurriedly got up to greet him, and just a few steps closer, she was stunned.
Because she vaguely sensed the changes that had taken place in Chen Xuan.
"You..."
She murmured.
Although she had been mentally prepared for the magic of the law of time, after witnessing it with her own eyes, the shock could not be concealed.
Affected by the difference in the speed of time, the gains that Chen Xuan had gained from practicing for 1,200 water clocks were condensed into one water clock for Anqila, who was in the outside world.
"Is the outside world okay during this period?"
Chen Xuan did not speak, still chewing the protein bar, but his words could appear directly in Anqila's mind.
This is the standard telepathic ability of a third-level spellcaster.
"You have indeed made a breakthrough!"
Angira calmed down a little and immediately responded with her mental power.
She has seen that Chen Xuan can not only practice magic and martial arts, but also has top-level talents in both.
Chen Xuan nodded, his heart was calm.
Then Angela quickly handed the letter from Baron Bezos to him.
After receiving the short message written on parchment paper, Chen Xuan looked at it for a few times, and his expression became strange.
"Is there a suspected dragon in the north of the city?"
He looked up at Angela.
Facing his question, Angela nodded solemnly.
"Not long ago, a roar was heard outside the city. After the analysis of Grand Secretary Inaoji, it was initially determined to be the roar of the magic dragon!"
"The magic dragon is called the 'earth disaster' and has a strength far superior to that of ordinary monsters!"
"If there is really a magic dragon in peak condition outside the city, then any defense line built by Magtan City will be vulnerable to it!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and did not continue.
What he cared about was not the magic dragon itself, but the direction of the north of the city.
In this way, the magic dragon should also be related to Ansitus.
Combined with the fact that the ritual light column was first raised in the Misty Canyon in the north, it was not difficult for Chen Xuan to guess that it was the key to the outbreak of the regional magic disaster.
It's just that the appearance of the magic dragon makes the situation more difficult.
From the cryptic and guarded look on Ahn'Qiraj's lips when mentioning the dragon, we knew it was definitely not easy to mess with.
Otherwise, there would not be such a deceptive nickname as "Catastrophe".
Originally, it was not easy for Magatan City to withstand the impact of monsters. Now that there is an additional demon dragon, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Fortunately, this news was not made public and was only circulated within the circles of municipal management.
Due to limited knowledge and the fact that dragon species rarely appear on the Naroa continent, most people are unable to determine the source of the distant roar.
Just think that some kind of terrifying giant beast has appeared.
Among the monsters, there are many huge demon descendants. On the battle fronts in various parts of the continent, huge skeletons comparable to epic spectacles can often be seen.
Including the "Demon Bone" fortress in the Target Empire that Chen Xuan had heard about before.
One of the towers was made of the bones of a large high-level monster plus the bones of many monsters.
"Ask old bachelor Inagio to come to the mage tower to meet me."
"Just one water hour later."
"I have to continue to retreat and study the magic books collected in the Mage Tower."
Chen Xuan waved his right hand.
Wearing a space storage ring there, it was given to him by Ahn'Qiraj before entering the tower.
It contains magic books, library and guild collections.
It is also the goal that he needs to study and learn next.
After hearing the news about the demon dragon, Chen Xuan had always been very calm, and his mentality was not affected by the appearance of the demon dragon.
Regarding this kind of settled matter, Chen Xuan has always been very open-minded.
Whether you are in a hurry or not, the dragon is there, so why not do what you need to do as planned!
However, this calm answer seemed to Ahn'Qiraj to be an unpredictable performance.
Dihua Thinking asked her to start thinking about whether her "cheap" master was confident that she could deal with the dragon.
Little did he know that Chen Xuan had no idea about the specific strength of the demon dragon.
Magtan City's protective magic circle has been reinforced many times over the years.
He can completely withstand multiple high-level attacks. Even if the dragon invades, he can still buy a certain amount of reaction time. If it is really impossible to resist, he can calmly run away with his men.
After twisting his neck, Chen Xuan returned to his original position, ready to start another round of [Time Slow Walk].
Suddenly he remembered something and quickly used his mental power to send a message and called out to Ahn'Qiraj who was about to go downstairs.
"By the way, Ahn'Qiraj."
"Ask Baron Bezos to bring his heirloom dragon steel sword!"
After receiving the message, Ahn'Qiraj stopped and stood at the edge of the stairs, caressing his chest and saluting, indicating that he understood.
Then she hurried downstairs under his gaze.
Chen Xuan had seen the dragon steel sword in the castle before.
He still remembered the detailed information mentioned in the [Insight] note:
[The dragon steel sword can cause additional damage to the scales of dragons and dragon-born creatures, and can offset the suppression of dragon power to a certain extent]
At that time, Chen Xuan was not interested in this, because dragon species are not cabbage that can be seen everywhere.
Unlike goblins, which are stinky fishes and rotten shrimps, dragons are definitely considered "treasure" animals in Naroa.
There are very few records of either the local true dragons or the exotic demonic dragons.
Dragon stories are mostly spread in the form of various legends and fairy tales.
In the final analysis, it is because Magtan City is just a small place.
The cognitive gradient here is far inferior to that of Giant City.
Even Chen Xuan himself was bound to such a framework.
Putting aside whether he can defeat the magic dragon, since there is a highly targeted weapon like the [Dragon Steel Sword] in the city, it is necessary for Chen Xuan to get it first.
Watching Ahn'Qiraj leave, he began to recharge the magic core for the magic gathering array.
After more than an hour of overload operation, obvious cracks have appeared on the surface of this third-level magic gathering array.
On the originally relatively neat array, there were cracks criss-crossing each other.
When it is completely broken, it is time to be completely scrapped.
After refilling the magic core, Chen Xuan started the second round of [Slow Time Walking].
A gray mask appears, isolating the inside and outside of the field.
He took out a soft cushion from the storage compartment, sat cross-legged, took out a large book and started reading.
There are several large gilded characters written in Common Chinese on the cover——
——"General Theory of Naroa Magic"
In this round of [Time Walks Slowly], his task is to read, read, and read again!
…
To the east of Magtan City, the straight road extends two hundred kilometers away.
This is the boundary of the Dark Mandala Light Curtain.
On the side that was not blocked by the light curtain, most of the traveling merchants who had been blocked on the straight road had left.
News of the accident has also been sent back to Jucheng through the Pioneer Dragon Eagle Team.
At this time, on this slightly lonely straight road, a slim figure wearing a face scarf, a bamboo hat, and a close-fitting sleeveless light armor strolled over.
Judging from the body curve, this should be a woman.
She has black eyes and black hair. She wears a straight knife about 60 centimeters long on her right side, and a long curved knife about 1.2 meters long hanging diagonally on her left side. In addition, she also carries a knife nearly two meters long on her back. Rice Naginata.
The naginata was like a flag tilted behind her.
She looked extremely indifferent and stopped while looking at the dark mandala light curtain in front of her.
A gentle breeze blew from a distance, stirring up her dark hair that was hanging down under her hat.
"I'll take you home..."
After pausing for a moment, she continued moving forward and came directly to the light curtain.
The deep dark eyes slowly narrowed, and in the next moment, only an afterimage glowing with blue-purple light appeared.
In an instant, she drew out the short knife on her right side and cut towards the light screen with the magic element wrapped around her.
When she put away the knife, the mandala light curtain was cut into a gap that only one person could pass through.
Without any hesitation, she jumped through the gap and entered the area covered by the light curtain.
Within more than ten seconds after she left, the gap in the light curtain closed automatically.
And that lonely and deserted figure also disappeared at the end of the darkness.
…
"I see."
Chen Xuan held the book, a flash of understanding flashing in his eyes.
There were mountains of ancient books around him.
In the past nearly 500 hours, he had been studying without sleep or food.
In addition to reading various books on magic and spiritual power meditation, he also read many miscellaneous books similar to "Naroya Grand View".
It further fills in the gaps in the knowledge of this world.
Because many of the books in the collection are old, many of the things they record cannot be verified.
But Chen Xuan found a lot of useful information based on the clues found in the cave sacrifices.
Including the Uni-server sect that worships three moons and calls them the Moon Mother, as well as several theoretical studies on the moon phases, which opened Chen Xuan's eyes.
It mentions the phase of the moon, named Silver Moon Yaokong.
When this moon phase appears, the two moons representing demons, the gray moon and the green moon, will sink into the sky. Only one silver moon shines brightly on the earth in the entire night sky.
The appearance of this moon phase means that the evil disaster is about to enter its trough.
The power of a certain kind of guardianship will rise to its peak, and the number of monsters pouring out of the void transmission channels in various monster crypts or battle lines every day will be greatly reduced.
The theory of the moon phases proves the Naloa Aboriginal people’s tracing and research of the outbreak of demonic disasters.
It’s just due to regional factors and the background of multi-ethnic integration.
In addition, the appearance cycle of the moon phase is long, and it may not appear once every tens or hundreds of Naroa years. During such a long interval, most of the non-immortal Naroa aborigines will Its forgotten.
Only the church, the maesters, and those spellcasters who delve into the truth remember these things.
Just like Blue Star's modern society, not many people will remember the natural disasters of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the moon phases, Chen Xuan also had a preliminary understanding of Naroa's customs, multi-ethnic cultural background, and historical evolution.
This round of reading has benefited him a lot, and his horizons have broadened a lot!
…
The foreshadowing about this mysterious woman has actually been mentioned before, but I don’t know if anyone knows about it.
