Sure enough, in addition to energy, what wizards rely on most is spiritual power. Energy gives them the ability to destroy matter and decompose matter; spiritual power gives them the ability to observe the world and explore the smallest details. Both of these have benefited wizards a lot.
After getting some tips, his progress really improved a lot. The mountain of ore was quickly reduced, and the whole process became extremely easy. The energy consumed was slowly recovered in the follow-up, except that his arms were still very sore.
, he didn’t think it was a chore at all.
By the time Consul asked everyone to leave, Ian had already crushed nearly two-fifths of the amount. This was just what he had done in one night. It was a really gratifying result.
Before leaving, he even took away some ore and planned to work overtime at night.
"Master Hyde, aren't you going to learn the Heart of Isolation tonight? There are only four days left!" Seeing Alfo and the other apprentices disappear around the corner of the corridor, Jasmine stared at the stone behind him and asked curiously.
In her opinion, Ian's first priority now is to practice the Ring of Isolation. Even at the risk of being punished by Kongsuer, he should squeeze out most of his time to practice. After all, if he doesn't cultivate the Heart of Isolation during the year-end sacrifice, he will have nothing.
Qualification to enter the core will be delayed for one year.
At this time, only the two of them were left alone, so Ian became more relaxed, smiled, patted the sack on his shoulder, and said relaxedly: "Who said I won't practice anymore? This is a new way, and I will get better a lot faster."
"Ha!" Jasmine snorted softly and turned to another corridor. Anyway, she had completed the spell and no longer had to worry about it, no matter what tricks Ian was up to now.
Return to your residence, place the original stone underground, and continue the unfinished work.
As for the heart of isolation, he has almost understood the intention of Kongsuer. Why he is allowed to handle the tin ore and why he keeps limiting the time? This is purely to train his ability to control mental power. After all, the heart of isolation requires strong strength.
control is completed.
If he guessed correctly, if he still cannot cultivate the heart of isolation after tomorrow, then the following days will be very uncomfortable.
"This level, this intensity..." Ian stopped moving slightly, then shook his head and said dissatisfied, "It still doesn't work."
Then, the illusory world had long been exhausted, and the little recovered spiritual power came out in full force, spreading over the entire rough stone under Ian's struggling control.
There is swelling and pain, and the brain feels as if someone has grabbed it and kneaded it hard.
He gritted his teeth and controlled his arm, ding ding ding, a crisp and heavy knocking sound slowly sounded.
There was no noise in the whole room.
There were intermittent pauses at first, but slowly, the knocking sound gradually stabilized and sounded with a strange rhythm.
If there were others around, they would be stunned and admire Ian's perseverance. This kind of pain is really unbearable.
"Master Hyde's training has achieved outstanding results."
It was after three o'clock in the middle of the night, and Ian, who was soaked all over, sat on the ground, smiling with satisfaction as he looked at the gravel covering the table, while he started teasing the cheap dad in his heart.
If he hadn't been given arduous knight training by Earl Hyde since he was a child, his body's endurance would be far beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, the extreme pain would not last long before the brain would activate its self-protection mechanism and shut down. How could it last for several hours?
Naturally, the effect of this kind of training is remarkable.
In his illusory world, a ring of indifferent and invisible ring-like mist-like existence stands still in the center. Outside the ring of mist is an empty world, an empty existence, and that ring is the only one. The real "land".
That is the heart of isolation, but it is only a fragile prototype. It will disperse under the slightest stimulation, and it will take a lot of time to consolidate and strengthen. But overall, he is successful.
In fact, even without Consul's guidance, it would have taken Ian about three days at most to complete it. After all, after practicing for about half a month, he had roughly found the way. It was just not as fast as Consul's.
"This is not the end."
Ian tried his best to suppress the desire to fall asleep, and tried his best to sit down and perfect the fragile prototype according to the spell, and the night passed little by little.
The next day, he suppressed his feeling of weakness and went to the library to report and refine the broken rough stones into tin powder.
The apprentices were still sorting out Consul's draft notes. He accidentally glanced at it. The empty space cleared yesterday was filled with old notes, and there was no sign of completion.
I really don’t know how Consul could write so many drafts by himself. Could it be that the wizard has some shorthand skills? This thought passed away in a flash, and his thoughts calmed down and he focused on the movements of his hands.
At this time, Consul has not come yet. Based on his experience, he is probably still in the exclusive laboratory of his mentors. Depending on the situation, he will come in the evening. However, he did not expect that Jasmine was not here either. The plants yesterday were not there. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything else until it's finished.
But this is not something he has to worry about. If he completes the task early, he can go do his own thing earlier.
Fortunately, most of the most difficult step had been completed overnight, and he had mastered the trick. It only took him one afternoon to refine the nine ounces of tin powder, and put the pile of gray-green powder into a wooden box to avoid oxidation. .
The following time was unattended, and Ian began to search for books about the heart of isolation in the library. Although this library was Consul's private collection, there were no taboos, otherwise it would have been sealed with a magic spell early in the morning. , so it is allowed to be read by default.
The library is divided into categories, and Ian found an ancient book in Category 1. It was a thin booklet, and its semi-rotten cover showed its antiquity. Books in Category 1 record the spiritual knowledge of wizards. For Ian, This booklet is extremely precious.
"Isolation"
There are only three words on the cover, and the rest of the word "heart" is incomplete. After flipping through it, the inside is also incomplete, with many missing pages, but this does not affect Ian's good mood.
He exclaimed excitedly: "Originally I just wanted to try my luck, but it actually happened. Good things come in pairs."
Turning to the first page, there is ancient Navia script, which is different from the popular Saxon language. It is basically only spread among high-ranking nobles and wizards.
I saw it read: "Cemetery, the basis for the isolation of dark wizards... It is best to use Esme... to construct, and the mental power reaches the third level to learn... The basic level requires one hundred third-level magic stones."
Then there are missing pages, and then it jumps to irrelevant records, which is difficult to understand for a while.
The specific information about the isolated heart is not particularly useful.
After considering his translation several times and determining that he could not get anything meaningful, Ian quickly gave up on this booklet and tried his luck elsewhere.
Until nighttime, he finally did not waste time and gained a lot of valuable experience.
