When the moon rises above the willow trees, the night market in the capital also opens.
The carriage passed through the flat bluestone street, and Hutao lay on the carriage window, looking excitedly at the people haggling. If she hadn't been going to the arena to advance, she would have dragged Downton to go shopping with her.
"You actually rose to the third level of war?" After learning about Elaine's level, Downton was filled with emotion. "If there were sufficient resources, wouldn't you be able to rise even higher?"
“My mentor said, haste makes waste, but she is really good to me, just like a daughter.” Elaine sighed, “Teacher Andrea gave me supplements, which totaled more than three million gold coins.
Don’t even know how to repay her?”
Elaine refused many times, but Andrea valued her so much that she was trained as her successor.
"Well, listen to her carefully in the future!" Downton is rich, but this is not a problem that can be solved by giving Andrea ten million gold coins. In the Western Continent, the master-student relationship is equivalent to the father-son relationship, which is recognized
.
If Elaine, as a commoner, was just an ordinary student and not Andrea's direct descendant, all her bones would have been ravaged by those scumbags like James.
This is also the reason why Elaine dared to hand over the staff of faith to Andrea, because the mentor would definitely give it to her, just by turning his hand.
"By the way, I have something good for you." Elaine took out a box from her schoolbag with a smile, opened it, and revealed a green crystal the size of a fingernail, "Do you know what it is?"
"Ocean fruit is a fruit formed by mature deep-sea algae. After eating it, magic users below the war level can be directly promoted to the first level. The price of a perfect level rare item is about two million gold coins." Downton affirmed.
I didn't know, so Homer took over the topic.
"I know you are an encyclopedia. There is no need to show your knowledge in front of us." Downton rolled his eyes.
"This is an unexpected prey caught by my team during our spring outing to the Eastern Seaside this year. Of course, our mentor helped a lot." Elaine put the box in Downton's hands, "Celeste, I'm sorry. I only have one.
"
"You don't have to apologize." Celes quickly waved her hand.
"You can keep it and eat it!" Downton refused.
"The mentor gave me her share of the loot." Elaine explained, "You can only advance to the next level if you eat this for the first time. After that, it will only increase the magic power and flourish the soul tree. I originally planned to let you eat this and become a
As a magic user, I didn’t expect your advancement speed to be as fast as a meteor.”
"Your mentor is so generous. Is she very rich?" Hutao pinched the ocean fruit and admired the light emitted by the night pearl.
"She must be very rich. She is not a citizen of Frankfurt. She came here to serve because of the appointment by the Holy See." Elaine recalled, "The tutor doesn't like to talk about her family, but I have heard others say that she seems
I had a falling out with my family because of a wedding."
"This is my gift to you, open it and take a look!" Downton handed Elaine two boxes, "Homer, put the ocean heart away."
"Is it a gem?" Because she was very poor when she was a child. Elaine liked these shiny things very much. Although she was mentally prepared, after opening the box, she still called out, "Star-colored sea urchin?"
"Master, can you please keep your voice down? People passing by will hear you!" Jackson, who was the coachman, reminded.
The elemental rejection during promotion will destroy the surrounding environment, so the Public Security Bureau has clearly issued an order that except for the gladiatorial arena and the academy martial arts arena, magic users are prohibited from advancing in other places in the royal capital. Otherwise, if caught, they will be sentenced to more than three years in prison.
Prison punishment.
"You know this?" Hu Tao originally wanted to show off her knowledge.
"Well, because of the sea fruit, I checked for similar magical items." Elaine looked at the sea urchin soaked in the water and smiled, "This one is much more precious than mine."
The ocean fruit can only help advance to the next level, but the star-colored sea urchin can also improve physical fitness and can strengthen the soul tree.
"Where's this?" Hutao opened another box.
Looking at this blue lake bead, which was like a star falling from the sky, Elaine shook her head and couldn't help but touch it.
"This is a magic lake bead. It also has the effect of allowing a magic user to advance to the next level." Hutao handed it over like a treasure, "We got it from the murlocs by the lake."
"These are too precious, you should give them to Hutao and the others first." Elaine knew how to be sensible and handed back the box. This move made Homer very fond of it.
"Don't worry, we've all used them." Hu Taomei smiled brightly, "Brother still has a few more. By the way, if you like it, when we have time, let's go to the hills and blackmail those indigenous fishmen.
"
Celes is easily shy, especially after meeting strangers, and often doesn't know how to speak. There is nothing she can do about it. As the princess of the Xueman Empire, she spent her childhood under strict protection.
There are only a handful of her peers who are close to her, and their attitude is basically very humble, because their parents have taught them how to treat the princess.
Fortunately, Elaine is a chatty girl next door, cheerful, lively, and friendly, and she treats Celes as a good friend.
Downton breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on Celes' face. After all, as a boy, there were many things he couldn't say to the Death Banshee.
When the carriage stopped outside the arena and Elaine pulled Celes out of the car, their relationship was already very close.
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go through the formalities and pay the usage fee." Elaine stretched out her hand to Downton and said coquettishly, "Take the money, two thousand gold coins."
"So expensive?" Downton was surprised.
"The magic users who can advance in the royal capital will not be short of this little money. If the wallet is not enough, they will naturally go outside the city. If the school is not prohibited from entering and exiting at night, and you are in a hurry to advance, I will not bring you here.
." Elaine was actually very distressed. Two thousand gold coins were more than her living expenses for half a year.
"It's nothing to spend a little money, time is precious." Downton took a stack of golden tickets from his wallet and gave them to Elaine.
"You are indeed rich." Fumbling for more than twenty gold tickets with a denomination of one thousand, Elaine sighed. If she had been so rich a long time ago, her mother would not have died of illness due to overwork.
In less than ten minutes, Elaine completed the formalities, and everyone walked to the arena under the leadership of an administrator.
Generally, no one chooses to advance at night, so the arena, which is half the size of a football field, is very empty and so quiet that you can hear the sound of the night wind.
"Please leave!"
Seeing that the administrator had no intention of leaving, Jackson took out his crossbow.
"Hey, I wish you failure!" the administrator cursed and walked away.
"Do you need to keep it a secret when you advance?" Elaine was stunned, but she soon understood the reason why Jackson did this, because the elemental arm held a container and placed it on the floor.
It is filled with magic stones, which sparkle with a blur of brilliance under the moonlight. This is a symbol of wealth and power.
"No way, so many magic stones?" Elaine was shocked, "They all seem to be top grade. How much are these worth?"
"What is this? There are many more in the war space." Walnut saw Jackson hiding magic stones in the shadow of the cabinet, grabbed one, and smashed it on the head.
Bang, Jackson fell to the ground.
The little loli is very powerful, and the rocks thrown are not much less powerful than crossbow shells.
"It's getting late, let's get started!"
After Homer released the Abominations and Ghouls and asked them to clear the area, it floated in the air and flew towards the stands.
Seeing so many undead creatures for the first time made Elaine stunned. It took a lot of effort to resist using the purification spell.
"These are all my brother's demon servants!" Elaine exclaimed as she looked at those green eyes that glowed like will-o'-the-wisps in the night.
After preparing everything, Downton sat on the container, drank a bottle of magic energy extraction potion, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Downton 'saw' the soul tree sapling rooted in his mind, about the length of an index finger, very thin, bare and ugly.
As the meditation progresses, the soul tree overflows with soul power, which forms a force group and then stretches into a soul angel.
Compared with the posture at the soul level, their body outlines have become slightly clearer, and there are two more red lips on their faces, singing holy and ethereal songs.
This kind of singing can soothe Downton's body and nerves, greatly reduce the pain he endures when he advances, and keep his consciousness fresh.
The magic energy began to condense, and as all three hundred soul angels appeared, the speed at which they gathered reached the limit.
Under the night, Elaine saw green magic energy spots flowing over like fireflies, filling almost every corner of the arena.
The wings began to fall, and the magic energy entered Downton's body, and then poured directly into the soul tree.
Unlike the soul level, which requires flushing and condensing soul seeds, the war level requires absorbing a large amount of magic energy to grow the soul tree.
Each small level has a standard. If you cannot accumulate enough, then the soul tree will not be able to bloom in the end, and you will not be able to advance to the Judgment level.
Downton's heart beat powerfully, like an engine, pressing the magic energy absorbed into his body towards the soul tree.
Under the irrigation of abundant energy, it began to grow visibly to the naked eye, and rare soul lines appeared on the tree.
The number of lines represents the absorption rate and passage rate of magic energy. If there are enough lines, it represents the maximum amount of magic energy that can be released in an instant.
Another soul angel was born, and Elaine covered her mouth in shock, witnessing with her own eyes their birth from a white force to an angelic posture.
"They seem to be alive?"
As a holy priest with outstanding talents, Elaine can 'see' more things than Celes and Hutao.
Those dancing soul angels seem to exude a breath of life.
"Can you even feel this?" Hearing this, Homer was surprised. He looked at Elaine in surprise. Compared to Downton's wild bastard, his sister was indeed a born priest. (To be continued.)
