Chapter 400 Lightless Forest

The silver secret room unfolded silently, and the ordinary basement in front of it suddenly turned into an iron wall. Colin stepped in, and the iron door of the secret room behind him closed automatically, leaving no gaps.

He first practiced the knight breathing method.

The crimson fighting energy kept surging in his body, and the surrounding air gradually began to vibrate like a boundless wave.

Now the knight breathing method he practiced is far from being comparable to the ordinary knight breathing method.

Not only is there a huge difference in movement and stillness, but also in complexity and difficulty.

The latest breathing method was named by Colin as the Red Light Breathing Method. The word is taken from the color of fighting spirit in the body, and the word commemorates the first knight breathing method that he practiced at the beginning—the solar breathing method.

In terms of complexity and difficulty, the red light breathing method is not inferior to the second-order meditation method he is currently practicing.

After practicing the knight breathing method once, and adjusted his state to the best, Colin sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to meditate.

Before he closed his eyes, he glanced at the gold paper. The wizard level column was a second-level intermediate wizard (48/100).

About six hours passed, and the meditation reached the upper limit. Colin gently opened his eyes and called out the golden paper again.

But I saw that the level of the wizard has changed to 54/100, a full increase of 6 points!

'Sure enough, the body and the soul are inseparable...especially the opening of the power of will, so that the strength of the soul has also increased a lot without knowing it. '

Colin put away the gold paper with joy on his face.

The past few days when he just advanced to the second-level knight is the time when his strength grows rapidly.

Basically, when I wake up every day, I can feel that my body is a little stronger, my fighting spirit is more condensed, and my will is stronger.

But now it seems that after these, there may be one more-spiritual growth!

The essence of wizard training is the continuous growth and sublimation of the spirit.

The practice of a wizard from the second-level elementary to advanced is nothing more than increasing the spirit and magic power. There is nothing too unusual or too big a barrier.

There will be fundamental changes only when one breaks through each major stage and needs to sublimate the spirit.

So now that the knight's cultivation has increased, his wizard's cultivation has also embarked on the fast track.

If you can maintain this speed, you will be able to reach the peak of the second-level intermediate wizard in a maximum of ten days, and you are ready to break through the second-level advanced!

Swish!

Putting away the silver secret room, Colin walked out of the basement and came to the first floor.

The night outside the window has already fallen, leaving only a few afterglow of the setting sun, forming a broken twilight scene.

Sitting down on the large sofa in the living room, Colin took out a crystal of knowledge from the storage ring with his backhand and stuck it on his forehead.

What is recorded in it is a meditation method that can reach the third level-the Hogia meditation method.

It is also the highest level of meditation that he currently has in his hands.

'I'm going to the second-level advanced level soon... I'm ready to advance to the third level...'

Colin was emotional for a while, but more worried.

The quality of the Huoqiya meditation method is not high, and there are no fourth-order and higher-level parts.

In all fairness, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not rashly use it to advance to the third level.

It's just that if you want to get other third-order meditation ideas...it's really difficult.

Colin put down the crystal and couldn't help sighing.

"What's wrong?" A familiar cold voice came.

"Nothing." Colin looked up with a smile, and greeted Shelley: "Is everything okay recently?"

A few days ago, in order to concentrate on breaking through the second-order knight, he has been staying in the wilderness laboratory, and he has not seen Shelley for a few days.

"Not bad." Shelley sat down opposite Colin with ease.

Not far away, Renee brought delicious refreshments and black tea in due course.

"During the spring sowing not long ago, about 30% of the fields used the farm tools we developed."

"That's pretty good." Colin raised his eyebrows.

Thirty percent doesn't sound like much, but the territory of the Loen Kingdom is positively huge, and thirty percent of it is not a small number.

In this country, even if the top aristocrats don't run the business themselves, they must have a lot of land under their names.

The golden ears of wheat in Neustadt are by no means in vain.

"Speaking of which, members of the Neustadt city law enforcement team suddenly came to the Loen Kingdom today, and the leader is still from the Istar school."

"For Frost Phantom, yes?" asked Shelley.

"Well, at least they say so." Colin was not surprised that Shelley already knew about it.

The Chasai Chamber of Commerce is now the well-deserved No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Loen, so the news is naturally well-informed.

"The Istar School has always wanted to completely control the Loen Kingdom, and I'm afraid this time they came here secretly for this purpose."

Shelley went on and broke the secret message to him.

"Why?"

"Because here is the golden ear of wheat in Neustadt," said Shelley:

"Perhaps many wizards have forgotten the food they usually eat. In the final analysis, they all need to be grown from the ground by those lowly serfs.

But wizards were not short of fools, but they were also wise, and they hadn't forgotten that. "

Colin nodded slowly, which confirmed his previous thoughts. The conflict between Wizard Erwin and Huntingdon was not as simple as Wilbur thought.

"The night before yesterday, in the city of Neustadt, all the wizards in the residence of the Zwar School died in their sleep." Shelley said suddenly.

Colin was slightly taken aback: "A member of the whole school is dead?"

"It's just the wizard who stayed at the residence of the Zwo School that night." Shelley shook his head. "The Zwo School is just a small school, and the most powerful wizard is only second-order."

"That's a big deal, too."

"Indeed." Shelley nodded, silently looking out the window.

In the dark night sky, the crescent moon was surrounded by gray clouds, only a shallow corner was exposed.

"Although the gods have not advanced the battle line for two years, they have built churches and shrines on the occupied islands and sea areas. The number has exceeded 10,000. There are even thirteen gray towers erected on the sea area near the Siya continent. .”

Colin was slightly taken aback. In the past two years, he has read the Supreme Council announcement and the Neustadt Daily almost every day, but he has never seen any news about these.

Without waiting for his response, Shelley turned his head and said to himself:

"But don't worry too much. The gods are not monolithic. Their own belief disputes are also a big problem."

"The temporary peace on the front line may last for a long time."

Colin nodded silently, but he didn't get much comfort. Instead, there seemed to be an inexplicable cold wind blowing in his heart, which made him feel more urgent.

In just a few years, he has gone from an apprentice to a third-level wizard, and this speed of advancement is not unpleasant.

But the world will not give some more time because of this.

The tsunami will come at any time, but at least until it comes, climb as high as possible.

...

We chatted for a while today, and when Shelley was sent away, it was already pitch black.

Colin paced quietly in the courtyard. The silver crescent moon cast thin light, which did not brighten his eyes, but darkened them even more.

After a long time, Colin gave up this meaningless behavior, suppressed his anxiety and stepped into the house.

When the sky fell, there was still a tall man holding it up, so I continued to practice hard, anyway, I couldn't do much anyway.

‘By the way, it seems like a week has passed since the last time you used Anando’s Dice? '

Before walking into the door, Colin suddenly thought again, so he paused for a while, and then his mind moved.

Swish!

A continuously rotating pale golden dice fell from the sky and landed in front of Colin. After a while, it froze at one point.

As always, a location popped up in Colin's mind at the same time.

"Huh?"

Colin raised his eyebrows slightly. He cast Anando's Dice at least dozens of times in the residence of the golden wheat ears. About the tenth time, the position given by Anando's Dice was repeated.

About twenty times, the locations given are basically those that have appeared in the past, or they are limited to the city of Jinwheatsui, and most of the corresponding items are not of much value.

This time, however, Anand's Dice not only gave a new location, but that location was not within the Golden Wheat.

Colin's eyes flickered, inexplicably thinking of Shelley's words, his eyes gradually became firm.

‘Don’t let go of any opportunity to increase your strength. '

With a thought, Colin disappeared and quietly flew into the sky.

After about ten minutes.

A huge forest appeared in front of Colin.

‘Here is… the Lightless Forest? '

The trees with a height of 100 meters can only be considered ordinary here, with dense branches and green leaves touching each other, almost filling the gaps in the entire forest.

Seen from a high altitude, the dark green forest under your feet looks like a huge matcha cake sprinkled with icing sugar under the moonlight.

'Hmm...the kind that doesn't taste good. '

Colin silently added in his heart.

Then he continued to follow the instructions of Anando's Dice and flew forward for a while.

'It should be this. '

Arriving in the sky above the destination, Colin did not rush down, but waited quietly.

Not long after, the blue frost that only he could see appeared in the shadows around him.

"Go down and explore carefully, and report to me immediately if you see anything unusual."

With a thought in his mind, Colin directed the three Frost Shadows to fall quietly.

Puppet-like witchcraft like this is naturally the best helper for exploration.

However, after waiting silently in the safe sky for a while, Colin's brows gradually frowned.

'Nothing unusual? '

After pondering for a moment, Colin himself landed into the dense forest.

Shadow of Frost has already checked it out, so there is no need to worry too much about safety issues.

Colin looked around carefully.

The Lightless Forest is worthy of its name. There is still a thin moonlight in midair, but after entering the forest, there is almost no visible light, and there is only darkness.

Fortunately, this does not bother Colin today.

The interior of the matted forest is actually quite similar to other ordinary forests. There are low shrubs and brown soil rows covered with all kinds of strange-shaped flowers and plants. The vines that grow from the trees hang down quietly, as if long snake.

The lack of sunlight doesn't seem to have a big impact here.

Colin reached out and pushed aside the strange-looking low bushes in front of him, ready to walk forward.

But in the next second, the footsteps were slightly startled.

The shrubs pushed away by him exposed the well-developed root system hidden behind, but it was different from the ordinary root system that took root in the ground. Spreading far away.

Looking along the direction of the root system's spread, the roots of these shrubs finally inserted into the trunk of the big tree not far away, like some kind of parasitic tentacles.

'It's no wonder that these low plants, which are so starved of light, can grow so vigorously...'

Colin continued to move forward and came to the thick and big tree not far away, which was the center of the position given by Anando's dice.

After careful observation, even using witchcraft, there was indeed no trace of abnormality, let alone the slightest sign of treasure.

This place is the same as the surrounding area, just an ordinary place in the lightless forest.

‘Could it be that Anando’s Dice locates the treasure of a moving person this time, just like in the kingdom of elves? '

Conjectures gradually emerged in Colin's mind.

And at this moment, the Frost Shadow who was alert not far away suddenly sent a message——

A first-order monster that looks like a black bear is walking towards here.

Colin sighed in disappointment, and was about to head back home.

I thought it was a treasure that no one had discovered, but it turned out to be a waste of work.

In such a huge lightless forest, how could one find the treasure-carrying person identified by Anando's dice, not to mention that he would not bother killing people for no reason to seize treasures.

With such thoughts in his heart, Colin flew towards the crown of the tree silently, preparing to leave.

Kacha Kacha——

Boom—boom—

The sound of branches breaking was getting closer and closer with the sound of heavy footsteps. Colin looked down and saw a black bear monster about five meters in length walking by shaking its head.

In the lightless forest, there are still many monsters.

However, at this moment, Colin suddenly felt a palpitation, and hurriedly looked into the distance.

At this time, he had come to the sky above the canopy, and a sudden bluish cold light illuminated his face, and a huge explosion scene in the distance was reflected in his pupils.

boom! !

A long time after the cold light arrived, the sound of the explosion came slowly along with the shock wave, but it was already as weak as a whisper, and the shock wave was just like a breeze blowing on the face.

'This kind of power...is at least the third level, what happened there? ’ Colin was a little apprehensive.

But soon, another news from the Frost Shadow under his feet made him slightly taken aback.

‘An unknown creature with a hidden figure passed by? '

While Colin was still wondering.

He suddenly noticed that the canopy of the tree not far away seemed to sway.

Immediately afterwards, the keen senses of the second-level knight allowed Colin to gradually outline an invisible figure in the seemingly empty air above.
