Soon, Roy understood the true meaning of Austin's words.
The undead are tireless.
They don't need to rest, even if they don't work, they will wander around aimlessly until the effect of the summoning magic wears off, and they will return to the earth.
Some undead creatures summoned by permanent undead summoning magic will never disappear as long as they are not completely destroyed.
Austin, who has dealt with the undead all his life, seems to regard Roy as an undead creature.
In the timetable he gave Roy, there was only one prayer time left for Roy every day. The rest of the time was devoted to various cultivation plans.
The first practice he designated for Roy was blacksmithing.
At this moment, Roy was standing in front of a huge anvil, sweating like rain, wielding a large hammer weighing 500 kilograms, and striking a piece of black iron marrow on the anvil.
This piece of black cold iron marrow is one of Austin's collections.
This kind of iron comes from the Wanzai Ice Iron Ore, which is the most essential part of the mineral veins that stretch for hundreds of miles. It is usually only the size of a fist. It is extremely hard. If it is used to make weapons, it only needs to be the size of a fingernail.
A six-star weapon is upgraded to a seven-star legendary weapon.
Austin's piece of black and cold iron marrow is the size of a human head and is priceless. And his request to Roy is: "Refine this piece of black and cold iron marrow until it is only the size of a fist."
When Roy heard this, he almost fainted.
This is black cold iron marrow, not hairy iron. Hitting it from the size of a head to the size of a fist is simply an impossible task.
However, that's not all Austin asked for.
According to Austin's requirements, Roy must maintain a meditative state while forging iron to improve his ability to fight demons.
This damn thing is deadly. When he picked up the hammer, Roy felt that the old skeleton was just playing with him and had no intention of letting him get out alive.
Sure enough, when Roy activated the battle ring, lifted a 500-kilogram hammer, and hit it hard on the black iron marrow. The huge rebound force almost caused his arms to dislocate. And the black iron on the anvil was
The cold iron marrow didn't even leave any mark.
If he hadn't experienced divine punishment, if he hadn't heard the news of the demon invasion, this blow would have been enough to make Roy feel what despair was.
But now, for Roy, who has already experienced deeper despair, this has actually aroused his competitive spirit.
Damn it, isn’t it just hitting a piece of iron?!
Roy swung the hammer and hit the second hammer, then the third hammer, the fourth hammer... From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look up at Austin.
One hammer after another.
It wasn't until hundreds of hammers hit the same location that Roy saw the slightest mark on the black iron marrow.
At this time, he could no longer lift his arms.
With his experience in dwarf dungeons since he was a child, and his time as an apprentice with Dad Ken, Roy is no stranger to blacksmithing. In fact, in terms of blacksmithing skills, his ability even exceeds that of most senior people.
Blacksmith. Can touch the edge of the master.
It may be difficult for others to swing a hammer. But Roy has mastered the skill of swinging a hammer, and it will be fine even if he swings it for a day.
However, this did not bring him any help.
If you want to refine this piece of black cold iron marrow, you must calcine it until it turns red, and then use all your strength to forge it in the few minutes before it cools down.
This is a process of bursting out all the power in an instant. Moreover, although this kind of burst is not long, it is not short either. It is not as simple as imagined to persist.
In this process, Roy had to fight at full strength. It was simply harder than when he fought against Tie Lun and others.
After a few rounds, Roy felt that his body was almost falling apart and his arms were no longer his. But even so, he failed to meet Austin's basic requirement - to meditate while exercising.
For thousands of years, magicians have relied on meditation to improve their magic power.
Meditation requires a very quiet environment, and requires spiritual perception of the energy of heaven and earth, triggering a wave of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, absorbing it, and transforming it into your own magic power.
This is like swimming in a turbulent ocean tide. If you are not careful, you may suffer backlash.
Therefore, the magic tower of a magician is heavily defended and densely packed with various traps. In addition to protecting one's wealth, secrets and research results, the more important point is to avoid being disturbed or attacked during meditation.
A magician in a meditative state is simply more vulnerable than a defenseless child.
Austin, however, required that he enter a meditative state while forging iron. This was as incredible as asking a person to sleep and work at the same time. It completely ran counter to thousands of years of meditation rules.
Roy believed that Austin would not harm himself, but he did not understand how to enter meditation during such violent movements.
However, Roy did not worry about this.
He just focused on swinging the hammer in his hand, again and again.
The hammer is very heavy. A full weight of 500 kilograms is already the limit of the weapon that a just one-star knight can use. In battle, the force that a just knight can explode may be far greater than 500 kilograms. Even one punch can kill
The giant beast weighing several tons fell over.
However, it is two different things to use a weapon continuously.
Every time he swings, Roy must push the principle to the extreme, turning the source power into fighting spirit, and the four battle rings will rotate at full speed to have enough power to control the hammer.
Otherwise, not only will you not be able to swing a few times, you may even get injured.
In the beginning, Roy was just hammering. After one hammer blow, he had to mobilize every cell in his body for the second hammer blow. It was impossible to have any other thoughts.
Roy knew very well that his power was limited. If he wanted to continue to forge the Black Cold Iron Marrow, he had to ensure the conversion of power between each hammer; he had to pay great attention to the control of his breathing; he had to keep the logic running smoothly, and at the same time also
You must ensure the consistency of your movements accurately.
If you are slightly careless, the next blow may consume more fighting spirit and physical strength, or it may fail due to the deformation of the movement.
In this regard, Roy has always been very stingy. His wandering days as a child made him accustomed to getting the maximum gain with the minimum effort. Otherwise, he would have no idea how to survive in the snowy wilderness, suffering from hunger and cold.
How many times have you died when your hunt failed?
Roy spent three full days to standardize his movements, calculate the power required for each hammer, and reasonably allocate his physical strength and fighting spirit.
After the black iron marrow is calcined in the iron furnace, the time it can be struck is fifteen minutes. If it were an ordinary hammer, Roy could swing hundreds of hammers, or even hit dozens of hammers in one second. But now,
He could only hit thirty strikes at most before he was exhausted.
Not only is the hammer heavy, but the shock force generated by the hardness of the black cold iron marrow is also unbearable.
On the third day, Roy discovered that there were some changes in his body.
First of all, he felt that the hammer in his hand became lighter. Although it was still heavy, it was at least much lighter than when he first lifted the hammer.
Secondly, he felt that his control over the hammer was getting stronger and stronger. In the past, one of the three hammers would definitely go awry, but now, it would take six or seven hammers before the same situation would occur. Moreover, for the counter-shock force,
Resolution has also improved a lot.
The most intuitive change is the increase in the number of hammers. From thirty hammers to thirty-one hammers, then to thirty-two... Now, Roy can hit thirty-nine hammers continuously!
However, these are not the most important.
The most important thing is that after experiencing the initial restlessness, Roy gradually felt a wonderful sense of tranquility as he concentrated on swinging the hammer again and again.
It seems that the whole world is concentrated on the hammer in the hand. The sound of the hammer hitting the black cold iron marrow. The flying sparks are all of life.
On the fourth day, Roy, in this state, felt the spiritual power of heaven and earth flowing around him for the first time.
The hammer was still hitting the anvil again and again, but Roy's mind entered a state of emptiness. The heat radiated from the stove, the sparks splashed under the hammer, the wind blowing, and everything in the world
The energy emitted, every strand, is so clear.
Gradually, Roy had forgotten the hammer in his hand, and a wonderful sense of harmony began to appear in his movements. It seemed that every swing was synchronized with the breathing of heaven and earth.
A little bit of spiritual power enters the body through breathing, nourishing the bones and blood, and strengthening the source of power.
At the same time, the tide of spiritual power from heaven and earth also fell with the lifting of the hammer, and began to surge toward Roy. Washing away his spiritual power, it merged into the sea of consciousness and turned into magic power.
Although the first time, this state only lasted for a short minute, Roy was shocked to find that in this minute, he had swung a full eleven hammers, and the consumption of source power was less than the same as before.
One-tenth of the quantity.
Fighting energy and magic power are simultaneously improved through the principles of movement and meditation.
This is the true dual cultivation of magic and martial arts!
Phew, after a round of forging, Roy put down the hammer in his hand and sent the black cold iron marrow on the anvil into the iron furnace with huge iron tongs.
He clapped his hands, opened a wooden box next to him, and put the two pieces of level six fire magic crystals into the magic pattern array of the iron furnace, replacing the two pieces that had used up all their magic before. Roy then relaxed.
He rubbed his sore shoulders and stared at the black and cold iron marrow in the flames.
It has been seven days, and so far, this piece of black cold iron marrow has only been flattened to a thumb-sized piece. Most of the other parts remain the same.
This had to make Roy feel a little frustrated.
However, the depressed mood disappeared after just a flash of thought. Looking down at his hands, Roy could clearly feel the power contained in them.
This is my greatest gain.
So far, Roy has been able to maintain a meditative state for two minutes while forging.
Although the improvement in fighting spirit and magic power in just two minutes is nothing compared to a complete meditation. However, Roy clearly felt its extraordinary efficiency. If converted into ordinary meditation, these two minutes are roughly equivalent to
Ten minutes.
A full five times!
And this is not the most important thing. What is important is that this kind of practice of entering a meditative state during strenuous exercise itself directly improves combat effectiveness. Imagine if you can replenish magic power and fighting spirit during battle, then continue to fight
How powerful will the ability be.
Such a guy is definitely an opponent that everyone is afraid of.
What's more... a smile appeared on the corner of Roy's mouth. A magic pattern, like meridians and blood vessels hidden under the skin, was looming on his chest.
Magic Star.
Since the completion of this magic pattern, in the past few days, the entire Dragon Taboo has been completely integrated into Roy's body. It is as if it was born here, and there is no trace of it from the outside.
No matter what Roy is doing, the Demon-Condensing Star runs with the beating of his heart. As long as the heart doesn't stop, it will continuously convert the spiritual power of heaven and earth into magic power. Although its speed is not particularly fast, it will still last a day.
, which is roughly equivalent to Roy’s six prayer hours of meditation.
When he first saw this magic pattern, even Austin was silent for a long time and muttered a curse. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, Roy could clearly feel the jealousy of the old skeleton.
If it weren't for the fact that the undead are already another form of life, I'm afraid Austin would inevitably do such shocking things as killing a giant dragon and peeling off a dragon taboo.
Roy closed his eyes and used endoscopic techniques to explore his body.
As the heart beats, the Demon-Gathering Star on the chest is like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing spiritual power. And this spiritual power washes away mental power all the time.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Carol cannot release her perception even though she possesses the Demon-Condensing Star. However, for Roy, who possesses the Eye of Elements and whose mental power has been baptized by the frenzy of heaven and earth energy brought by the Lord of Judgment,
, but it is just a kind of continuous tempering.
This made his mental power even stronger.
The source power vortex in the lower abdomen has increased a lot. The fighting demon source power, which is like sand and dust, has become more solid.
What's more important is that if Roy's own meridians and qi and blood were the bottleneck that limited his ability to fight demons in the past, now, this bottleneck is gradually being broken with the strengthening of his muscle and blood.
Roy walked up to a demon doll next to him, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and punched out fiercely.
The devil made a loud noise and retreated eleven meters.
This is specially designed by Austin for Roy to test his strength. This kind of devil is different from the devil in the real world, but truly uses the power of the devils on the final battlefield. Every meter pushed back represents ten thousand energy.
.This means that Roy's punch has reached 110,000 punches!
An ordinary just one-star knight has 40,000 jins. On average, each battle ring is roughly 10,000 jins.
After being promoted to the Knight of Glory and having eight battle rings, it will be upgraded to 100,000 strength. After that, every two levels of fighting spirit and one star increase can increase the strength to 20,000 strength.
To the Great Light Knight, it’s 200,000 strength!
Roy was able to defeat Tie Lun and others before, and in terms of strength, he also exceeded 100,000 Jin.
Especially after transforming into an angry warrior, the power of a full blow has approached 150,000 jin. Now this punch has 110,000 jin, which seems to be no surprise.
However, this is just the most ordinary and ordinary punch.
He didn't use the life-threatening sword technique, he didn't use the thunder ax technique, and he didn't even use the wind and thunder artillery.
Just pure power!
.Today I got together with my original editor Jelly and several authors, and worked hard to find the opportunity to write these few thousand words. I wrote with grilled fish until 11 o'clock in the evening. It turned out that there was a problem with the laptop's network card and I couldn't access the Internet. After I got home,
, without thinking too much, just clicked on a system recovery. Then it was tragic.
.Fortunately, I only lost more than a thousand words. I'm still sweating now. Please give me a monthly vote to calm my panic.
