Chapter 259: The Magus of Wubei Territory

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

But if the tree is too outstanding, the wind will not be able to destroy it.

For Luoning now, there is still no need to expose his strength, provided he can keep a low profile.

But when the time truly comes to show it to gain benefits, even if he does not reveal his own strength, he at least needs to let his subordinates show off a little.

Excessive concealment, letting opportunities slip by, is also undesirable.

Summoning the familiar Attribute Panel and consuming all the Attribute Points, Luoning's Silver Knight rank progress is now full, and his Magician progress has reached (76/2000).

Besides this, his accumulation during this period has also given him 1999 points of Energy Essence.

"It has been Along time since I improved your strength."

Luoning looked at the three subordinates standing before him.

During this time, they have had different improvements in their strength through their own cultivation.

Maiken: Silver Knight (31/1500);

Aierlong: Chief Mage (380/2000);

Ruidar: Silver Knight (649/1500).

Also practicing on their own, Ruidar has caught up from behind and is the one with the fastest growth in rank progress among the three, which is also related to his Blazing Sun Aptitude.

As for Maiken, he has Gold Talent, so his cultivation speed is a bit lacking.

Hearing that the Lord intended to improve their strength, the three could not help but look at each other, all revealing smiles.

They are all Transcendental, and improving their strength is a mutual pursuit.

"You should have heard about the situation of my grandfather Lulansi; currently, only a Level 8 Magus with Light Attribute can possibly save him, so for the next period of time, I will focus on improving Aierlong's strength."

Aierlong bowed: "My Lord, I will not let you down."

Ruidar and Maiken both showed envious expressions; the Lord wants to save his grandfather, so prioritizing Aierlong's strength is an inevitable matter.

"However, this does not mean I am only improving strength for Aierlong alone."

Luoning said with a smile: "In the current situation, Wubei Territory still needs combat power, so Ruidar, Maiken, you must also become strong. But considering Ruidar's combat level and aptitude are both relatively high, between the two of you, I will focus more on improving Ruidar's strength."

Ruidar patted his chest heavily, "Ruidar will not let you down!"

Maiken felt a bit dejected, but he could accept it; after all, his aptitude was the lowest, and the Lord had made the most appropriate choice.

"Maiken, you were the first to follow me, and I think very highly of your steady and unhurried character."

Luoning encouraged him: "Although I am prioritizing Aierlong and Ruidar now, we still have Along time ahead; you do not need to be anxious for the moment, you should still cultivate properly."

This was not Luoning speaking falsely; the days ahead are indeed still very long.

Maiken knelt on one knee and said excitedly: "It is my honor to be valued by you, my Lord. Please rest assured, I will definitely maintain my advantages and not let you down!"

Luoning raised his hand to signal the other to stand up, then distributed the Energy Essence to the three as he had planned.

Maiken 28 points, Ruidar 351 points, Aierlong 1620 points.

Maiken's strength only increased slightly;

Ruidar's progress reached (1000/1500), and according to the other's previous statement, he is now capable of dueling a Golden Knight.

The most critical one is Aierlong.

At this moment, he was closing his eyes to digest the effects brought by the promotion. After Along while, he slowly opened his eyes, with light shimmering within them. At this moment, Aierlong exuded an aura that could make people feel relaxed.

"Congratulations, Aierlong, you are now a Magus."

A Magus has a huge improvement over the previous five levels.

First, the Magic Power in his Mana Space has liquefied, which allows the Magician to have a huge leap in the amount of Magic Power they can store.

If Aierlong could only use Aurora Shadow once before, now he can use it ten times!

Besides this, there is another major change—a Magus can strengthen the power of ordinary Magic.

That is to say, his Healing Spell now has a significantly improved effect compared to before; correspondingly, the power of offensive Magic such as Punishment Art and Holy Judgment will also increase.

"This is all your grace, my Lord!"

Aierlong bowed and said, his voice incomparably devout: "May the light be with you!"

"Compared to before, you have more of a religious fanatic vibe."

"Religious fanatic?" Aierlong was somewhat puzzled.

Luoning laughed it off and changed the subject: "Tell me, what did you gain after your promotion?"

Aierlong recalled his memories.

"My Lord, I did not awaken many memories regarding my past life this time; they were all scenes of treating patients, but one of the scenes is somewhat similar to that group of extremely strange people we met in the Mysterious Valley."

Luoning raised an eyebrow, "You mean those unkillable guys like Natalia?"

Aierlong nodded, "There is indeed a scene about being unkillable, but as long as you pierce the opponent's body and crazily inject your own Transcendental power into them, you can turn the opponent into dust."

Ruidar and Maiken also showed expressions of astonishment.

Since Aierlong had experienced such things, they should have experienced them too.

It is just that they did not improve their ranks this time and had no new memory scenes.

"Could those guys in the cave be old antiques who have existed since your past lives and lived until now?"

Thinking of Kaierluosi's age, does this mean that the past lives of Aierlong and the others were at least a thousand years ago?

He did not delve into this matter; when the three's ranks improve further later, there should be more information.

"Besides this, what about Magic?"

"There is also that; now I can use a new Magic, 'Powerful Healing Spell'. In addition, I have also awakened information regarding the production of 'Burst Potion'."

Luoning's eyes lit up.

Powerful Healing Spell is a continuous Healing Spell; although it consumes a lot, its healing ability is very strong, and even if limbs are severed, it can save the life of the wounded.

Luoning currently has a Powerful Healing Spell Spell Scroll in his hand; back then, when Weijinsi's leg was severed, it was thanks to this Spell Scroll that he avoided death.

"I am familiar with this Magic; its effects are quite excellent!"

Luoning praised it while asking, "What is this Burst Potion you speak of?"

"It can allow a Knight to burst forth with an additional fifty percent of their strength within one minute, but they will be weakened for one day."

The other three people in the tent were all Professional Knights, and they knew just how terrifying an effect an additional fifty percent burst of strength was.

"The effect of this potion is somewhat astonishing!"

Ruidar related it to his own strength, "With my current strength, if I were to use this potion, I fear I could single-handedly challenge a mid-stage Golden Knight."

"An additional fifty percent burst of strength—this effect is indeed extremely terrifying!"

Maiken also sighed and said, "Even if one is weakened for a day, and even if the effect only lasts for one minute, using it at a critical moment could have the effect of reversing the tide of battle."

"Given the current conditions, can it be produced?"

Luoning asked hurriedly; if it could be produced, it could greatly reduce the uncertainty of this war.

Aierlong shook his head helplessly, "My Lord, there are many materials, and one of them requires at least one cup of fresh blood from a Level 6 Magic Beast with strong explosive power and a violent nature, such as a bear, tiger, lion, or ape."

A cup of blood is about five hundred milliliters; although it is not much, coming from a Level 6 Magic Beast, it is not easy to obtain.

A flash of inspiration struck Luoning's mind, and he thought of Kaierluosi; wasn't that fellow a Level 6 Magic Beast?

"Will dragon blood work?"

Aierlong immediately thought of the fact that Luoning had a giant dragon in his possession, but to use a giant dragon's blood to make a Magic Potion?

He did not have the guts for that.

"This... I am not too sure; my memory does not mention whether giant dragon blood will work or not."

Aierlong was very hesitant; if Kaierluosi were to find out that he said he wanted to try it, he did not know if it would provoke the other's anger.

"My Lord, using a giant dragon's fresh blood for an experiment is a bit wasteful, isn't it?"

"There is no other way; we do not have any other Level 6 Magic Beasts on hand."

Luoning spread his hands helplessly, "I will discuss it with Kaierluosi; given its docile personality, it shouldn't be that stingy. If the blood is gathered, what about the other materials?"

"That depends on whether they are sold in Jushi City."

Jushi City, although it is a Baron Territory, bears the heavy responsibility of resisting the enemy and receives much care from Wushan Castle; its level of prosperity is not something an ordinary Baron Territory can compare to.

"There should be various shops like the Magic Chamber of Commerce here; go take a look after we enter the city tomorrow."

Luoning said, "If you cannot find all the materials, then forget it; if you can gather them, see if you can produce one or two bottles before the war begins."

"I understand, My Lord." (End of chapter)
