Chapter 236: Promoted Together
The few people who had returned to the rental cabin sat around the campfire and rested.
Although there was no fighting today and no magic power was expended, it greatly consumed their physical strength.
It also made their clothes very dirty, and it felt like there was mud everywhere in their shoes.
After all, I did hard labor for more than ten hours.
Lucelia was studying the valuables she had brought back.
Alka looked at the magic stone in his hand, but he did not rashly input magic power to activate it.
But just watch.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Let's go back to the ship tonight."
Hearing Alka's sudden words, the companions sitting around him shifted their attention.
Alka raised the magic gathering stone in his hand and said, "Whether it's the name or the effect, this thing seems to make quite a noise. It would be too conspicuous if used in this place."
After hearing this, everyone thought about it for a moment and then nodded.
really.
After all, this is someone else's territory.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Alka stood up and said, "Let's go. We'll rest on the boat today, change clothes and clean ourselves up."
As he spoke, he stood up and shook off some dirt, which fell off his body. He didn't know where it came from, and then walked out.
We followed the gravel road all the way to the port.
As soon as we arrived, we saw the huge ship outside the port.
"What a big ship!" Mathilda said in surprise.
It was the first time she saw such a large ship.
Even though she lived at the gateway to the Infinite Ocean, she had never seen a ship this large.
Several people who had not been to the port and seen the merchant ships in the past few days were also a little surprised.
Simon looked at the ship with curiosity in his eyes.
Seeing his look, Juanlu beside him quickly pulled him back and said, "That's someone else's boat."
"I know. I'll just take a look."
"You'd better just take a look." Jason glanced at him from the side and said silently.
After all, they had been with Simon for a while.
Simon is usually polite and honest, but when he encounters something that interests him or when he gets obsessed with studying it, it's different.
At this time, there were some goods piled around the port, but it was not known whether they were shipped to the ship or unloaded from the ship.
A few people looked at it, but did not slow down, and climbed up to the Sound of Dawn after a long absence.
As they boarded the boat, soft and melodious singing began.
Alka smiled and patted the mainmast.
"Drive the boat out of the island and we'll come back tomorrow morning."
The merchant ship parked outside and some people just seen at the port.
Everyone may notice the movement.
It is better to have less trouble than more.
Following A-Ka’s words, the Sound of Dawn slowly left the port and then stopped at the side not far from the port.
After seeing that the distance is about the same.
Alka on the deck raised the magic gathering stone in his hand.
The biggest gain today.
From the ancient times, before the world was broken.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Under the curious gaze of everyone, magic power was input into it.
With the input of magic power, dense, complex and very regular patterns appeared on the surface of the stone.
Alka seemed to have sensed something and gently loosened his hand.
The magic-gathering stone just floated in front of everyone, standing steadily in the air.
Strange information flooded into Alka's brain, which was how to use this thing.
Is this how the instructions are placed?
It's really interesting.
The method of use is very simple. Alka simply went through it and memorized it.
He stretched out a finger and touched the magic stone. When the finger left the surface of the magic stone, a blue energy line was drawn.
He swung the line out and controlled it to draw a circle on the surrounding deck, enveloping everyone.
As the lines connected end to end, the magic stone was immediately activated.
Incomprehensible spell patterns appeared on the circle on the ground, densely arranged to form a circular magic array.
The surrounding magic power began to flow into the magic circle in large quantities. The concentration of magic power around everyone increased at an exaggerated speed, and they even felt an inexplicable resistance in the air, as if even the air had become sticky.
Breathing became difficult as a large amount of magic power poured in, squeezing out the air.
When everyone felt that the air was scarce and they could no longer breathe, the magic stone floated in the center and began to rotate.
These thick magic powers began to rotate and gather around the magic stone.
Just like that, in front of everyone, as the magic stone rotated, more and more magic power gathered together, and the magic power that gathered together was so thick that it was visible to the naked eye.
It turned into an object like a water ball and actually liquefied directly. Then the liquid magic like a water ball began to spread its magic power.
A strange scene appeared in the space where everyone was.
The magic power in the sky gathered into the liquid magic ball, and the liquid magic ball spread his magic power and filled the area below.
Just like an hourglass, the place where the liquid magic power is located is like a leak, absorbing a large amount of magic power in the sky, changing its form, and increasing its concentration to flow downwards.
That is the deck where Alka and the others are staying.
"This magic power... is actually entering my body through my breathing!" Xia Daiti said in surprise, his eyes wide open.
Alka said, "Stop talking about this, take this opportunity to meditate."
As he said this, he sat down next to the flower bed and closed his eyes, and the meditation runes in his body appeared.
Everyone immediately sat down where they were, and Pororo and Jason sat directly on the deck.
But everyone is inside the circle.
As they began to meditate, transparent spirals appeared around each person.
The magic power in the circular array quickly poured into their bodies.
All of these magic powers are liquid magic formed by the magic gathering stone in the center. They enter their bodies very smoothly without any resistance.
Except for the three puppet girls, Zero One Two, whose strengths were enhanced by the treasures, the rest were meditating.
Three puppet girls stood outside the formation, keeping watch for everyone.
But obviously, with so many people meditating at the same time, coupled with the obvious speed, which was inexplicably fast, the amount of magic power entering the body was also exaggerated, resulting in the magic power in the entire space being somewhat insufficient.
The speed at which the liquid magic ball rotating in the center was exerting its magic power was slower than the speed at which the few people were absorbing it.
But at least it remains within a certain balance.
Half an hour later, the magic gathering stone began to shake, and the circular array under their feet began to flicker.
It seems that the magic stone has reached its limit.
Suddenly it went out and disappeared.
Then the liquid magic power lost control and quickly melted into the surrounding air.
A large amount of magic power poured in, causing the concentration of magic power in the surroundings to increase instantly, and the air was squeezed out in an instant.
The sudden influx of impact caused everyone to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, it was just a simple impact and did not cause any impact on them.
After a while, the concentration of magic power in the surroundings decreased and the air began to fill in.
Alka was breathing heavily, his head and body were already wet with sweat.
The same is true for everyone else except him.
The sweat of the crowd formed a puddle of water on the deck under their feet.
"This is the first time... the first time I'm so tired from meditation..." Simon said as he lay on the deck, gasping for breath.
I never thought that I would meditate and meditate to the point of exhaustion.
It’s much more tiring than digging holes during the day.
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic power around him began to fluctuate again.
He forced himself to sit up and look towards the source of the turmoil.
Xia Daiti, Jason, and Lucelia advanced to the second stage at the same time.
Fortunately, the concentration of magic power in the surroundings was very high, and it did not have any impact on the three people's advancement to the second stage.
Watching the three people advance, Alka turned to look at Juanlu who was panting.
In response to Jason's gaze, Juanlu waved his hand in understanding: "Almost there, just a little bit more."
Now he was the only one left on the ship, still stuck in the triple helix.
There was no way, mainly because they had only been in the Endless Sea for a few days.
After a while, the three of them advanced.
"It's quite a spectacular scene that they all advance at the same time," Julia said with a smile.
He picked up Lucilia, who had collapsed on the deck, and placed her on his shoulders, then helped Xia Daiti sit next to him.
Jason, lying on the deck, looked at the people around him.
"Pull me up."
Hearing this, Alka glanced at him and said, "Why? You think the deck of the Dawn Sound is dirty, but I am a good girl who likes to be clean."
Hearing this, Jason looked at the rope dangling above his head and silently closed his mouth.
If you don't want to pull it, then don't pull it. You say it so righteously.
Then he felt like he was flying. Porro grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
Alka had already picked up the magic gathering stone that had fallen on the ground. At this time, the magic gathering stone had returned to its unusually dim appearance.
It is said to be a crystal, but it looks more like a stone.
"Is this thing going to break?" Simon asked from the side.
Alka shook his head: "Don't worry, it hasn't happened yet, it's just overloaded."
After all, it’s my first time using it and I have no experience.
"We just meditated together and consumed too much magic power, causing the conversion to be a bit overloaded. In addition, the range I drew was too large, and a lot of data has not been debugged in time."
After all, this thing is a newly completed product, and I don’t know whether the person who made it has debugged it properly.
But after all, it's new stuff, so it's not that easy to break.
Xiadaiti, who had recovered, looked at the magic gathering stone in Alka's hand and asked, "What happened to the magic power just now? It felt like my own magic power. I just sucked it in gently and it melted directly into me."
The others were also very curious. The magic power produced by those magic stones was obviously very different from the magic power in the surrounding air.
It's like a magic power that is tailor-made for humans and very easy to absorb.
“Well, this magic gathering stone is used to create magic power that can be easily absorbed by people.
So in addition to gathering magic power, it also has the function of transforming external magic power into magic power that can be easily absorbed by life."
Simply put, this is a meditation accelerator, an all-round meditation accelerator.
The speed of their meditation just now was basically at full speed, and they inhaled madly, which also put a great strain on their bodies.
This causes a large loss of physical strength, which is why you appear so tired.
Fortunately, when it comes to meditation speed, you can only reach the limit but cannot break through it. It still depends on your physical condition.
No matter how much you meditate, your speed will never be increased to a level that exceeds your physical fitness.
This also ensures that you cannot harm your body through meditation.
But maintaining the maximum absorption is still a very physically demanding task.
But it saves a lot of time and is extremely efficient.
How could it be possible to absorb to the limit under normal circumstances? A large part of the magic power absorbed normally cannot be used by the human body.
And this thing in my hand solves this problem perfectly.
Alka did not absorb the magic power mindlessly just now. He also carefully checked the absorbed magic power at first.
The absorption efficiency reached an astonishing 80% or more, and even reached around 85% in the middle stage.
You know, if you are in the Home Sea, the magic absorption efficiency of meditation may be only about 10%, sometimes even less.
When it reaches the forward course, the absorption efficiency is increased to about 30% to 40%, and the efficiency becomes higher and higher as it moves forward.
This is because the concentration of magic power in the surrounding area has increased, so the same amount of absorption will absorb more.
After reaching the vast ocean, the absorption efficiency basically stabilizes at 50%. If you go to the island, it will increase a little, but it will not exceed 60%.
This is basically the limit of absorbing magic power through meditation.
The magic gathering stone almost doubles the efficiency of magic meditation, and it only doubles the absorption efficiency.
The amount absorbed will be greater than before. After all, the concentration of magic power is higher. Since the absorption speed is faster, the amount will naturally be greater.
Overall, the speed at which meditation improves strength is about 2.5 to 3 times faster than without the magic stone.
Much more than you might think.
This is a relatively accurate value obtained by Alka.
Moreover, the time for meditation is reduced by half, and it only takes less than half an hour a day. However, this half an hour will be very physically demanding.
Thinking of this, Alka wrote down the data.
Then he said to everyone, "I will debug it tonight and make it into something that can be used by one person. Then we can take turns to meditate every day, and the efficiency will be greatly improved."
Everyone nodded in response to Alka's words.
This is something that can improve everyone's strength. Although it is not obvious at the beginning, it is a long-term thing.
As time goes by, their strength will improve much faster than people at the same stage.
This can help them gain a foothold in the vast ocean more quickly.
After all, as people from the Four Seas, there is a big gap in strength between them and those who have always lived in the Boundless Ocean.
For example, Bai Shi is only in his 20s, and without the help of treasures, his strength is estimated to be at least 7 to 8 spirals.
Needless to say, Simon and Julia, the strongest members of their team, are much older than Shiraishi.
However, his strength is not yet on par with his.
"I'll go cook . I haven't been to the kitchen on the ship for several days. Let's make a big meal tonight!" Juanlu said after a good rest.
“Yeah!”
"I want to eat the roasted beef leg from last time."
"Then I'll have a grilled fish."
Everyone ordered a dish they liked.
Juanlu smiled, nodded, and wrote it down.
At this time, the warehouse was already filled with the prey they had killed on the island, as well as some picked ingredients.
There is no need to worry about the food not being enough or fresh.
"Oh, there's this thing." Lucilia seemed to have thought of something, and a booklet appeared in her arms.
This was the booklet they had obtained from the interior space of the temple before. No one knew what material it was made of, but it did not perish with the passage of time like the surrounding objects.
Lucelia flipped through the book in her arms.
"How about it, what's written on it?" Alka asked curiously.
I hope the information recorded here can reveal more information about the Waswa city-state.
"This is the research notebook of the man named Vita. It records some of his research ideas and some extremely messy records."
Hearing this, Alka and Simon both stood up at the same time and quickly sat down next to Lucelia.
"Tell me quickly, what is written on it."
“Is there any information about how that thing is made?”
The two of them started asking questions one after another.
"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!" Lucelia waved her hands and shouted helplessly.
Then he jumped onto Xia Daiti's shoulder and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, a lot of the words on it are a little difficult to translate. I have to take a good look at it and figure out how to translate it to perfectly express the meaning. There are also some things I don't seem to remember."
After hearing this, the two people who were a little anxious calmed down, sat where they were and nodded.
Anyway, the booklet won't disappear from their hands.
After looking through it for a while, Lucilia said, "Arka woke me up from my dream tonight, so I have to look through the knowledge deep in my memory."
"no problem."
Soon everyone came to the bathhouse and cleaned the dirt on their bodies.
After digging the pit for a whole day, they were covered in a pile of mud.
After finishing, Alka began to debug the magic gathering stone in his hand. This thing was not complicated, and there was an instruction manual, so it was still within his control.
At least it wouldn't make Alka feel like he might damage it if he just messed with it.
It was not until just before dinner that Alka finally finished debugging it.
"I have already adjusted this thing . It is best to open it every 2 to 3 hours. Each time it will last for half an hour. At that time, it will automatically gather a circular magic gathering array below, which is just enough for one person to use."
Then he added: "Including Pororo."
After saying that, a rope flew in, tied up the magic stone and pulled it out.
"I put it in the observation room. When each of us is on guard duty, we can take half an hour to meditate."
Alka said and everyone nodded.
This is indeed a good idea.
Under normal circumstances, there is always someone in the lookout room, and each person's shift is about three hours, which is just right.
In addition, there is Yi in the lookout room to help with alert, so it is no problem to spare half an hour.
After saying this, Alka said, "Tomorrow we will go to another, more dangerous ruin."
Then everyone started to eat the food on the table to replenish their energy.
Quietly waiting for the arrival of daytime.
