At this time, the sun had set but the moon had not yet risen, and everything in sight was pitch black.
Fortunately, you can still feel the solid touch of the shipboard under your feet, and you can still hear the sound of the waves in your ears.
This prevents people from being panicked and confused.
The crew and sailors had returned to the cabin after lowering the sails.
From the gap between the wooden bulkhead and the door, a faint orange-yellow light came from.
At this moment, the endless ocean lost its beautiful blue appearance during the day and became as dark and scary as ink.
The black waves surged in layers, making it impossible for sight to penetrate.
This scene always makes people feel...
It seems that under the boat, under the endless deep sea, there are some terrifying behemoths lurking, quietly watching you.
Colin controlled his gaze not to linger too much on the sea.
Now he is still in a super-sensory state. If he sees something he shouldn't see, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous.
After staying quietly on the deck for a while, he turned and returned to the bedroom.
The dark night of this world is inherently dangerous, with ghosts, monsters, and strange and ferocious beasts running rampant.
The ocean is inherently more dangerous than most land.
Once night comes, you may run into some unknown existences or fall into some weird areas.
Therefore, ships usually lower their sails and stop at night to reduce the risk of traveling in the dark.
Return to the master bedroom.
The place has been cleaned cleanly by Renee and new bedding has been put on.
After taking out the bright crystal and lighting it, Colin closed the window to reduce the light leakage.
Then he sat quietly on the bed, alerting to the possible crisis in the dark night, while sorting out the things Erica left for him.
In addition to the crystal ball of knowledge, there are magic stones and magic potions.
The McIntosh Wizard Tower has experienced two plunders by the Blackstone family and the Lapp wizards, and basically nothing remains.
These magic stones and potions were probably collected by Erica from the ritual.
The magic stones were probably from the apprentices who died, and the magic potion was leftover from the ritual.
Two servings in total.
One is the Tears of the Dugong presented for the second to last time in the ceremony, and the other is the Golden Four-leaf Clover presented at the end.
Both potions were specially made by McIntosh, and their effects were roughly similar, both improving the spirit and body at the same time.
It's just that Dugong's Tears are far less powerful than Golden Clover.
As for golden four-leaf clover, usually only the first one is effective.
McIntosh's special golden four-leaf clover is no exception, it is only valid for the first time.
Colin pondered for a moment and made arrangements.
Naturally, the Dugong Tears are reserved for oneself, while the Golden Four-leaf Clover can be sold while ensuring safety.
But Colin did not take Dugong Tears immediately.
Instead, he opened the gold paper.
The golden particles gather.
Scan at a glance.
There are two items above that can be improved.
One is the apprenticeship circle meditation method that breaks the limit for the second time, and the other is a talent that could be improved as early as three months ago, but has not been improved due to insufficient limit-breaking points-intermediate strong life.
Previously, he had carefully counted the specific number of magic stones in the storage ring.
Including the original ones on my body, the total is 1,654.
With such a large number, if they are all converted into limit-breaking points, I think at least one of them can break the limit.
Thinking of this, Colin did not hesitate, took out the magic stone and began to transform the limit breaking point.
On the gold paper, the value after breaking the limit point keeps jumping.
Not long after, it came to a thousand.
At the same time, the two purple items on the gold paper also lit up one after another.
Just one is gold and the other is red.
The golden one is the apprenticeship circle meditation method that breaks the limit for the second time, while the red one is the intermediate talent with strong life.
Colin understood clearly.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to upgrade his intermediate strength first.
Intermediate strong life is a talent. Once it is improved, it can be immediately converted into combat power, but the rules of circle meditation are different.
What's more, he had just advanced to become a senior wizard. Not only had he not passed the super-sensory stage, but he also had no knowledge of the advanced wizard.
Therefore, you can temporarily put the priority of improving the circle meditation method at the back.
After making the decision, Colin was not in a hurry to improve.
It's night now, a time when crises are high, so it's better to wait until tomorrow's dawn before making the upgrade, and not to rush.
As for Tears of the Dugong, he plans to take it after he breaks through to the mid-level talent level.
At that time, it may be possible to use the medicinal power of Dugong Tears to further strengthen the intermediate health.
After sorting himself out, he got up and started practicing.
Time passed by unconsciously like this.
Dawn rises, the sun falls on the earth, and the sea returns to blue.
Except for some wind and waves, nothing else happened all night.
Encountering danger is a matter of probability.
As for the probability issue...who can tell clearly.
In the captain's master cabin.
Colin stopped practicing, adjusted his condition, and prepared to start improving his talent to the intermediate level.
At this time.
"Sail!"
The captain's voice suddenly came from the deck not far away.
Then came the sound of canvas unfurling and the voices of sailors talking.
"...I didn't sleep all night last night. I always feel panicked after spending the night at sea."
"The wizard is here, what are you afraid of?"
"Yes, what are you afraid of? The swaying feeling of the waves is more comfortable than a massage. If you ask me, this is the bed that sailors should sleep on!"
"...Come on, Buck. When encountering wind and waves, have you ever vomited the most?"
"you……"
"Hahaha."
A burst of laughter came.
Colin also withdrew his thoughts and stopped paying attention.
Unlike the blindness of the sailors, he has a clear understanding of his own strength.
Not long ago, I faced the ritual, the powerlessness of the gods, and the acquaintances who kept dying...
all of these.
He hasn't forgotten it yet!
Empty your distracting thoughts and focus on the ↑ symbol behind the intermediate level.
boom!
A stream of magma-like heat suddenly emerged from his heart.
Colin couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and his body trembled slightly.
After an unknown amount of time, the renovation was finally completed.
On the gold paper, between blue and purple, a touch of red quietly appeared.
Behind the intermediate strong life that had turned red, the symbol I slowly appeared.
Feeling that his vitality had increased a lot, Colin was overjoyed.
But when he looked at the words Intermediate Strong Life I on the gold paper, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
Just like after the secondary high temperature tolerance breaks the limit, it does not become the primary high temperature tolerance.
Now that the limit of intermediate strength has been exceeded once, it has not been transformed into high-level strength.
Instead, it is just like the other items, except that the color changes, and then a symbol representing a limit violation is added at the end.
But this intermediate level is really an eyesore...
As Colin's thoughts emerged.
On the gold paper, the characters of Intermediate Strong Life I quietly changed.
The word "Intermediate" gradually faded away, and finally settled on -
[Talent: Strong Life I (0/100)].
Colin raised his eyebrows and looked at the secondary high temperature tolerance I.
The characters there began to change according to his thoughts, and finally settled on——
【High temperature tolerance Ⅰ(43/100)】.
Seeing this, Colin understood clearly.
The name is just a code for distinction.
The gold paper belongs to him, and the name on it depends on his ideas.
The witchcraft or talent before breaking the limit, such as ignition, has a recognized name.
So the gold paper is also called like this.
Strictly speaking, the witchcraft or talents after breaking the limit cannot be regarded as the same kind as the original witchcraft and talents before.
So the name is naturally whatever he wants to be called, as long as it can be distinguished from the one before breaking the limit.
Even after eliminating the unsightly word "Intermediate" in front of the Intermediate Power Level I, it has no real effect.
But looking at the neatly formatted gold paper, Colin still felt relieved.
As for how much the talent has been enhanced after breaking the limit once...
Colin's eyes flashed.
Clang!
I still reached out and pulled out the bee sting from my waist, preparing to roughly test my life after breaking the limit.
After all, knowing where your own limits are is very important for actual combat.
Especially when encountering situations where injuries are needed in exchange for lives.
He raised his left arm and waved the sharp bee needle.
Under the strong force, with a snap, a wound deep enough to the bone appeared on his left arm.
Colin groaned, his face turned slightly pale, and if he looked closely, he could see tiny beads of sweat emerging from his forehead.
But despite such severe pain, his blue eyes remained clear and firm.
He is a reserved person by nature.
Having encountered such a dangerous change before, he had only given out a disdainful sneer at the end.
