Even Sharlayan did not expect that completing Mimiron's seemingly simple task would make both him and Valeera grow.
Before he could break through and become a demigod, Sarlayan did not have the energy to take up the practice of arcane arts at the same time, so he allocated all the experience gained from adventure and training to the warrior and Thornspeaker professions.
Once a breakthrough is made, certain cognitions from the mortal period can no longer be applied.
Due to the influence of One Dharma and Ten Thousand Dharmas, the Thornspeaker profession, which Sarlayan has invested a lot of energy into, does not require additional breakthroughs, and has also entered the demigod threshold along with the warrior level.
The way of cultivation of demigods is very different from before. It relies more on enlightenment. Simply studying hard and practicing hard is no longer applicable.
And to understand such mysterious things, many times it takes chance.
This is one of the reasons why Sarlayan has tried many powers.
On the one hand, he wanted to find the most suitable natal power for himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make up for the shortcomings of the barrel left in the past. The arcane practice that he had put down due to lack of energy was picked up by Sharlayan.
After Valeera's reminder, Sarlayan made a guess about his own natal power.
Although it is not yet certain whether the guess is correct, it at least gives him a direction to work towards.
Recently, Sarlayan's main focus has been on the study of arcane magic and the concept of time and space, hoping to quickly make up for the gaps in these two areas by improvising.
When this adventure that transcends time and space is over, Sharlayan plans to return to Quel'Thalas to ask Onyxia about the use of the power of the earth, so as to prepare in advance for activating the black dragon gene in the future.
Due to his lack of proficiency, Sarlayan is very slow in constructing magic wards.
But slowly, when the magic barrier finally takes shape, Sarlayan can confidently pat his chest and guarantee that at least it will not go wrong easily.
"call"
After completing the construction of the magic barrier, Sarlayan witnessed with his own eyes the changes in the nodes of the Magic Network in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms, and the chaotic magic power fluctuations that could be clearly felt gradually disappeared.
Just as he was about to stand up, Sarlayan suddenly thought of a possibility.
"hiss"
Reaching out and stroking his chin, Sarlayan whispered thoughtfully: "Could it be that...after I return to the correct timeline, I can still see the barrier I set up tens of thousands of years ago?
"
Sarlayan thought that his sudden thought would attract Valeera's complaints, but after waiting for a while, there was no response.
Turning his head to look to his side in confusion, Sarlayan was shocked to find that Valeela, who was always very serious when working, was actually in a daze with eyes blank.
"This is really...a rare sight."
Although he didn't know what exactly happened when he was trying to build the barrier, Sarlayan could vaguely tell that Valeera seemed to be realizing something, so he didn't bother her anymore.
The positions of the two reversed at this moment, and Sarlayan, who had finished his work, protected the distracted Valeera.
"What's this?"
After scanning the surroundings, Sarlayan quickly saw some residue left behind after the arcane entity dissipated. Valeera also held several translucent crystals of different shapes in her hand.
Sarlayan: "...Who can tell me, what happened before?"
I’m big! I’m coming!]
Ah! Come out and compete with me!]
That’s enough for you, there are ladies in this live broadcast room!】
…
After the barrage of explanations, Sarlayan finally understood Valeera's previous experience.
"Can an arcane entity use phase travel? Interesting."
Having lived with Valeera, Stellagosa and others all year round, Sharlayan certainly knew that they had talked about this topic before, and also knew that Valeera was extremely gifted in spatial cognition.
The key to breaking through the demigods is to initially transform one's own abilities and talents into powers. The first thing Sarlayan obtained was the power and power corresponding to the warrior, and the power of life corresponding to his own talents.
Arcane and death? Those were artificially developed later.
The difference between the two is that Sarlayan has a smooth development of arcane powers, but always feels stumbling when it comes to understanding the power of death.
In addition to the largest magic network node in front of Sarlayan and Valeela, in order to prevent the energy leakage of the entire Eternal Blossom Valley, Sarlayan also needs to travel to a few more places and build several auxiliary nodes in the same way.
Small boundary.
The magic barrier built by Sarlayan is not a shoddy project that can only take effect in a short period of time. He added a special function of absorbing energy and self-healing into the barrier.
As long as the magic network in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms is still operating normally and can provide energy for the barrier, this barrier group can theoretically be maintained indefinitely.
Of course, this is just a theory.
In the years that followed, the Valley of Eternal Blossoms changed hands many times and experienced many wars. No one can guarantee whether this set of enchantments will remain intact for tens of thousands of years.
Valeela stood there dumbfounded for far longer than Sharlayan expected.
On the 21st day after the Mantid retreated, Sarlayan, who was helping Valeela clean the dust off her face as usual, suddenly felt a strange aura.
"This is……"
Subconsciously taking two steps back, Sarlayan looked at Valeera in surprise as the boy's eyes refocused.
"My little squirrel, are you finally awake?"
There is no such thing as a sudden breakthrough that would shock the world. Just like Sarlayan's sudden breakthrough during the Battle of Hyjal, Valeela naturally crossed the chasm that blocked countless mortal heroes.
Valeela, who came back to her senses, rolled her eyes angrily: "I told you not to call me little squirrel...don't make trouble first."
Ignoring Sarlayan's joke for the time being, Valeela raised her hands and looked through it thoughtfully.
"The skin seems to be getting better... No! That's not the point!"
"puff"
Sarlayan couldn't help laughing, and as expected, Valeela glared at him with dead eyes.
Damn it, is it true that women are most concerned about this issue?】
It’s understandable, after all, Valeela’s life form has just completed a fundamental change, and she no longer has to worry about lifespan.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! ...Do you need to care so much? Even if she does not break through and become a demigod, Valeera, as a high elf, can still maintain her youth for at least 2,000 years.】
You don’t understand, this is a woman’s unique age anxiety.】
Sarlayan also knew that Valeera, who had just made a breakthrough, needed to sort out her current situation, so she wisely did not disturb him anymore, and took the initiative to step aside and start preparing breakfast.
Due to sleeping outdoors for a long time, Sarlayan has long learned to cook...after all, you can't always rely on bread kneaded by arcane magic to satisfy your hunger.
Sarlayan admitted that the person who invented the magic bread and magic water spells was a genius. He solved the wizard's need for food and water when traveling in the wild.
But... magic bread is really not delicious. It tastes like chewing gum, so it can only be used to satisfy hunger.
If there were other choices, no normal person would foolishly eat magic bread.
The two little guys, Jaina and Tinargosa, plan to improve the taste of magic bread and magic water, but so far, their research has not been able to produce preliminary results.
Thanks to the magic package that has no concept of time passage in the subspace, Sarlayan can stuff a lot of food raw materials and semi-finished products into it, and take it out for secondary processing when necessary.
Why not prepare the finished product and eat it directly?
Well... to put it in barrage terms, life still needs a sense of ritual.
Unless he is really busy and has no place to stay, or the surrounding environment does not allow it, Sarlayan still hopes to make every meal freshly cooked and eaten as much as possible.
Breakfast doesn't need to be too complicated. Milk, eggs and sandwiches are enough, which is convenient and hassle-free.
By the way, due to the long-term exposure to barrage, Sarlayan often asked his own chef to cook Chinese food when he ate at home.
This is a unique cuisine introduced to Azeroth from Sharlayan, and is highly praised in Quel'Thalas, which is very particular about food.
After finishing her breakfast in a hurry, Valeela seemed to have finally found a doorway, and she put her two fingers together to create a crack in front of her body.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Sarlayan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the other side of this rift the phase space?"
"Yes."
Valeera is like a child who has just bought a new toy, playing with the new abilities she has just acquired more and more skillfully.
"This is one of the simpler applications of space power. Limited by my own abilities and knowledge, I still need a lot of time to further develop it."
"anything else?"
Sarlayan sat cross-legged on the ground, put his right elbow on his knees and held his face with his palms and asked: "This is the power awakened through your own talent. Your thief profession should also come with another power, right?"
"Yes."
An unclear gray shadow appeared on Valeela's left hand: "Shadow Branch Power - Shadow."
"So..." Sarlayan asked solemnly: "In your opinion, which of these two powers is your native power?"
