Chapter 387: Promotion

As the 500,000 gold coins were collected by Luoning, the final achievement of Wealthy was also completed.

He opened the Attribute Panel; his Attribute Points and Energy Essence had increased to an unprecedented level, now reaching 10,825 and 24,849 points respectively!

"This is enough for me to upgrade myself, Ruidar, and Maiken."

Luoning looked left and right, and considering that energy fluctuations would occur during the upgrade, he left the Mage Tower and summoned Kaierluosi to return without disturbing anyone else in the castle.

High in the sky, Luoning invested 3,133 Attribute Points into his Magician rank; instantly, the Body Wheel at his heart and the Empty Wheel in his Sea of Consciousness were breached.

In an instant, Luoning felt as if he had broken through some kind of shackle; the wind and fire elements in the surrounding world surged into his body, just as they had when Aierlong promoted, and his entire temperament sublimated involuntarily.

A powerful heartbeat, a physique that no ordinary object could harm, and a powerful Mental Power capable of manipulating physical objects—at this moment, Luoning was stronger than ever before!

As the sole witness to all this, Kaierluosi, who was in flight, was affected by this aura, and its timid little heart thumped wildly.

"Master, you have become stronger again!"

Luoning smiled slightly and took a small Dagger from his ring, rubbing it against his arm.

Although the Dagger was somewhat sharp, it did not break his skin.

"To hurt me, you'll need to increase your strength."

The physical enhancement brought about by a Knight breaking through the Body Wheel is quite considerable.

Subsequently, Luoning extended his Mental Power to attach to the Dagger, and with a thought, he manipulated the Dagger to hover in the air before shooting it out; it had a hint of an arrow's feel.

"The speed is a bit slower than a Mofajian, equivalent to the level of an ordinary hunter."

Although this level of control cannot threaten the strong, it is enough to deal with low-level Transcendental.

Moreover, as Mental Power increases, this control strength will also grow, and the lethality will increase in the future.

However, these are secondary; the key is that the current Luoning can use the Heart of the Earth and Mental Power to shape some iron products he wants.

Without a CNC machine tool, relying on the keen observation and control brought by powerful Mental Power, one can also make high-precision things.

Luoning glanced at the Attribute Panel:

【Rank】: 8-Silver Moon Knight (0/10000); 8-Magician (0/15000)

【Attribute Point】: 7692

Seeing the conditions for breaking through from Level 8 to Level 9, he couldn't help but sigh: "Twenty-five thousand points, the Attribute Points required for this are truly many!"

Luoning considered it for a moment and added 6,000 of the remaining Attribute Points to his Knight rank, using the remaining 1,692 points on his Magician rank.

Doing this was purely to add a bit of fault tolerance for the upcoming Magic practice and experiments.

"Late Silver Moon stage; now, purely in terms of strength rank, I can be considered to be at the top level of the continent."

As for Archmagicians, the only one Luoning knows is Beiluola; he has not heard of any Blazing Sun Knight yet, though he has heard of a few Silver Moon Knights.

Yet a Blazing Sun Knight is about to be born by his side, and his strength already allows him to stop being low-key.

Thinking of this, Luoning couldn't help but leap off the dragon's back, imitating Ruidar's style by erupting his Battle Qi to walk on air; this experience, completely different from Wind Wings, made him laugh heartily.

Kaierluosi slowed down, a flash of envy in its eyes.

When it first met Luoning, the other party wasn't even a Golden Knight, yet he had become Silver Moon rank so quickly.

Although it is a dragon with defense and combat power far exceeding Magic Beasts of the same level, in front of such a strong person, it still cannot avoid being bled.

"My long dragon life, when will I be able to cross ranks?"

After releasing the surging power in his body, Luoning returned to the dragon's back.

Increased strength naturally brings increased ambition, but now there is a lack of opportunity for expansion.

He couldn't just raise the banner of rebellion and declare he would overthrow the Auduin Royal Family, could he?

That would only make him a public enemy of the Kingdom.

If the whole country came to crusade against Wushan Territory, even with powerful top-tier strength, there would be a risk of being worn down.

"For me now, generals and commanders are enough; what is missing is troops and a turning point."

"Before the turning point arrives, be as low-key as possible; building Wubei Territory into a granary and a base with a huge population remains the primary task."

Dual-profession Level 8; barring any accidents, Luoning estimates he can live for two centuries.

The thing he lacks least is time; let alone three or five years, waiting ten or twenty years is not a problem.

The next day, Anbian City, Ruidar and Maiken were both there.

In over two months, the Knight Squad under the two of them had received good training and already possessed a certain amount of combat power.

Besides this, there were also new Professional Knights, and the team was still continuing to expand.

"My Lord, in recent times, the number of merchants coming to Anbian City from Moonlight Valley has decreased."

Ruidar made a brief report on the recent situation in Anbian City.

The individual and family forces in the city that were closely linked to the Bolante Bandit Group had undergone several waves of purges, and now they were mostly cleared out; even if there were any fish that slipped through the net, they were insignificant.

It is unknown whether it was because of this move, or because Ramsey and Angusi were killed a while ago, that caused Hesusu to want to draw a line with Anbian City and restrict trade.

"As long as that guy follows the rules and doesn't covet the territory of Wushan Territory again, we will ignore him for now."

If trade is cut off, no one will die, and now Anbian City has the Fifth Knight Order, plus so many Knights, Infantry, etc., from Sari Town, Jushi City, and Chishan Town, which is enough to consume the meat and milk produced in Anbian City.

Just right, the grain lacking here can also be supplied from the north.

"Coming here this time, the first thing is to bring you the Auxiliary Enhancement Potion produced by Aierlong."

Luoning handed the box containing the potion bottles to Ruidar, "How to use them and who to give them to, you decide for yourselves."

Ruidar took the potion and said with a smile: "Aierlong eventually returned to his old profession; in my memory, he was good at these things."

The three of them all came from the Flame Expeditionary Army; as their memories recovered, Ruidar, as the commander, deepened his understanding of Aierlong and Maiken.

"There is quite a lot he can make."

Luoning said with a smile, "The second thing is to improve your strength."

As he said this, he looked at Maiken.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned joyful, and he asked himself in his heart, "Is it finally my turn?"

Maiken's current level progress is Silver Knight (600/1500); since he broke through two years ago, he has relied on self-cultivation to reach his current stage.

Although this cultivation speed is indeed somewhat slow, it still falls within a normal range.

As he had anticipated, Luoning first consumed 3,400 Energy Essence to raise the other's strength to the peak of Golden Knight, then used 1,000 Energy Essence to improve his aptitude.

"Many thanks, my lord!"

Maiken felt the rapidly increasing power within his body, and his memories told him that he now possessed combat strength exceeding that of his previous life!

Luoning signaled for him to stand up, while his own attention remained on the Attribute Panel; after consuming 4,400 Energy Essence, 20,449 points remained.

Ruidar's level progress is at the Silver Moon rank (54/10000), which means that less than ten thousand points of Energy Essence are needed to help him step into the Radiant Sun rank.

With the remaining ten thousand plus points of Energy Essence, could Maiken be promoted to a Silver Moon Knight?

Luoning could infer from the consumption generated by improving Aierlong's aptitude that helping Maiken improve his aptitude again should require 3,000 Energy Essence.

"Will the Wubei Territory have one more Silver Moon Knight?" (End of chapter)
