The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 458 The Beginning of the Advent
As a group of black-robed people surrounded Prince Seidlin and continued to move forward, the black-robed old man in the lead nodded to the other two black-robed old men. Soon, the two old men understood and turned around and left.

The black-robed old man in the lead raised his head and looked forward, revealing a meaningful smile.

Not far ahead, there was a giant tree that was hundreds of meters tall and shaped like a banyan tree, with a green semicircular crown. It was Andrassil, the mother tree of the elves.

At this moment, as the distance gets closer, one can feel the opponent's huge size more clearly. However, the green vortex on the top of the giant tree that was originally hundreds of meters high has obviously become much lighter and thinner.

Obviously, this is because the two crystal towers were destroyed, and the energy supply of the crystal barrier was greatly reduced.

However, the old man's gaze was not actually on the Elf Mother Tree, but beyond the Elf Mother Tree, beyond the green vortex, and deep into the sky.

I saw a faint golden light flashing in the distant sky.

at the same time.

Walzig ruins, inside the warehouse secret room.

Ryan saw the core of the large furnace, a precision energy device the size of a millstone, with complex metal tubes of varying sizes on its surface. Overall, it looked like an engine that had been magnified five or six times.

Moria fiddled with it for a while, frowned, shook his head, sighed, and said:
"No, it can't be started at all. I did bring a lava heart with me, but it can only serve as a primer for a medium-sized furnace core. I need to spend some time to modify it."

"Ryan, this will take a long time. Please help me guard the hall. You can also take a look at the two parchment scrolls and the black leather diary."

"There are some words in the diary that I think are very inspiring to every wizard at the peak of crystallization."

"Morning light represents the rising sun and infinite possibilities. When we return this time, we can discuss and try at the same time. There are great opportunities, especially for you." Moria patted Ryan's shoulder and said with a smile.

"No problem, Sect Master." Ryan's mind was focused on meditation at the moment. When he heard that he was asked to be on guard while reading the parchment scroll, he naturally nodded in agreement.

In fact, if Ryan paid a little attention to Moria, he would think of one thing.

If the legendary energy source like the Lava Heart is acceptable, then the epic energy source he has on hand - the Abyss Fire Crystal, seems to be more suitable.

In the hall.

Ryan carefully flipped through the black leather diary.

Although the above are just some intermittent essays, as the leader of the ancient Walzig School, a high-level wizard whose strength may have reached the peak of the fourth-level Dawn, even if it is just a few words, it is still a great inspiration to Ryan.

It even serves as the finishing touch.

"The fourth level of advanced meditation is different from the first three levels. The first three levels all emphasize the purification of mental power, so it doesn't matter if you learn it earlier or later."

For example, Ryan thought about this sentence and realized that it was indeed true.

He started to practice the third level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method when he was 1% crystallized, that is, after he entered the third level of crystallization wizard.

If you learn later, that's fine too, you'll just get stuck at 1% crystallization and won't be able to make any progress.

But the fourth level is different. The fourth level is related to whether one can be promoted to a fourth-level Dawn Wizard, so it needs to be learned and mastered during the peak period of crystallization.

This is also the first difficulty written in the black leather diary.

".When the mental power is close to perfection, the fourth level of meditation is needed to perform the final compression of the mental power. This is the most difficult part."

".Finally, in the above process, it is also necessary to outline the model of the fourth-level talent witchcraft."

These two sentences in the black leather diary point out the second and third difficulties in becoming a Dawn Wizard.

With these three factors combined, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Ryan seemed to have realized something!
"No wonder, even a brilliant genius like Batalov, the dean of Winterhold Academy, is stuck at the peak of crystallization. He needs to wait for an opportunity to hope to enter the fourth-level dawn wizard."

"However, Batalov has the Dragon Soul Potion and many other preparations this time, so he should be able to try to reach the fourth level of Dawn Realm again."

Originally, Moria wanted Ryan to read the black leather diary and treat the promotion to the fourth-level Dawn Wizard with a more cautious attitude, but unexpectedly, after reading it, Ryan became even more eager to try.

Because Ryan didn't have a clear idea before, but after reading the black leather diary, he understood the promotion process clearly.

For him who has a system and a specific execution process, it will naturally be easy.

While Moria was busy in the secret room of the warehouse, Ryan used the activation spell to activate three combat puppets in the hall to be on guard, and then continued to try the fourth floor.

Several hours later, after six more points, Ryan finally succeeded in outlining the complex model composed of 256 will runes of the fourth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method in one go.

At this moment, a strange feeling appeared in his heart, and the complex three-layer crystals in his spiritual sea also changed.

At the bottom of the three-layer crystal, the annular base had its diameter increased again and thickened further, making the base appear more stable.

The spiritual sea, which had been close to the state of ice crystals, had now almost completely turned into a collection of ice crystals, like a basket of tiny diamonds without a trace of water.

At this time, the system prompt also came:

[You have practiced the fourth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, and your understanding of the relevant knowledge has improved! ]

[Your skill Iron Heart Advanced Meditation is upgraded, experience value +11]

At the same time, Ryan also found the icon of Iron Heart on the Dragon Vein Wizard (Legend) profession panel and checked the changes in the expression.

The new expression is as follows:

Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Level 10 (1/20000), with the special effect of 'Metal Mastery Level 4'.

[Metal Control lv4 (Passive) Effect: Your ability to control metal energy particles is doubled. ]

"It wasn't easy! Finally succeeded!"

"For level 4 metal control, the system description changed from 'significantly improved' to 'doubled'."

"Hey, this is..."

Suddenly, Ryan's eyes widened!
Because he just glanced at the attribute panel after reading the system prompts and the changes in the description, and found that the mental power value on it had changed significantly again:
Spirit: 186 (crystallized 97%)

It's not about the improvement of mental strength, because I just added a total of 10 attribute points to the spirit, so it is normal for the mental value to be as high as 186 at this moment.

The key is that the crystallization progress has soared by 3 points!

You know, this is the most difficult peak period of crystallization. To increase it by even one percentage point, it will take a considerable amount of hard work for a long time.

Obviously, there is only one reason for this!
That was the fourth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method that he had just mastered, which rapidly increased the crystallization progress.

This also shows the powerful effect of the fourth level of advanced meditation in compressing and purifying mental power.

"Yes, if there is no such effect, how can we compress our mental power to the extreme when attacking Dawn?"

"Unfortunately, there are still 3 points left, otherwise..."

However, suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Ryan's mind, as if he thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The fourth level of meditation method, the corresponding display level is lv10~lv12, but it's only lv10 now!"

"That is to say, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped in the purification of spiritual power!"

If the advanced meditation method is upgraded to level 12, the purification and compression effects will definitely be further enhanced.

With almost no hesitation, Ryan invested 10 skill points in the lv2 Iron Heart Advanced Meditation.

As the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method advanced from level 10 to level 12, instantly, a memory of practicing the fourth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method flooded into Ryan's mind like a torrent.

In an instant, Ryan seemed to be in a mysterious space, undergoing decades of hard practice at the fourth level of meditation.

A few minutes later, when Ryan tried to outline the fourth-level meditation model again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the time spent on visualization was shortened by nearly half, and most importantly, the effect of compressing and purifying mental power was greatly improved again!

The crystallization progress at this time clearly showed 100%.

"Hiss! As expected, dimensionality reduction attack is powerful!" Ryan couldn't help but sigh in delight.

Using the fourth level meditation method to improve the crystallization process is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken or using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito!
At this moment, suddenly, the thin film in Ryan's arms vibrated again.

"Captain Lei, I'm at the Anse ruins."

A familiar but rarely heard voice came from the flakes. Hmm?
Is it Beyoncé?

This time the signal was much clearer than before. Ryan thought about the other party's intermittent keywords just now.

Ryan raised his eyebrows and immediately realized something.

"Beyoncé, above the ruins?"

"Why not Claire or Olena?"

"Could it be that something happened to them and only Beyonce escaped?" Ryan's eyes flashed and he instantly thought of many things.

Ryan arrived at the door of the warehouse secret room in a flash, and without caring whether to disturb the sect leader Moria who was fully devoted to the repair work, he said:
"Master, my friend may be in trouble. The airship of the Sword Bearer should be above our ruins. I have to go out and meet him."

"Oh? Wait a minute, I'll go with you." Moria stopped what he was doing, his face became serious, and said.

"it is good!"

Soon, the two walked out of the hidden cave and immediately saw an airship floating in the air not far away.

However, when Ryan saw the airship for the first time, he was stunned. "Isn't this the long-distance airship seized from Bostaf?"

"I'm Ryan!" Ryan immediately took out the slice and said.

"Great, Captain Ryan, I'm Beyoncé, oh, I see you." With Beyoncé's excited voice, the airship slowly moved towards the two people's location.

Since the distance was not far, Ryan soon saw Beyonce waving at him from the side of the ship.

Beyoncé cast a Swift Wind spell on herself and jumped lightly from the airship which was more than 20 meters high. As a quasi-legendary ranger, she could naturally do this easily.

"Captain, Miss Anna and the pure-blooded elves have received a call from the elven mother tree Andrassil and are now heading to Ferdinand City." Beyonce, wearing a tight leather armor that outlines her plump and tall figure, said with a hint of anxiety.

"What? The call of the Elf Mother Tree!" Before Ryan could say anything, Moria on the side was shocked and said.

Ryan looked thoughtful, wondering why Anna insisted on going to Ferdinand City even though she knew it was the focus of the cult's attack?

Obviously, the call of the Elf Mother Tree is the key.

"Master, is there any explanation here?" Ryan couldn't help but ask immediately.

Beyonce was slightly startled when she heard Ryan calling the other party the leader of the party, and she paid more attention to Moria.

However, as soon as she sensed it, she felt it was a bit strange, because although the other party's aura was strong, it seemed to be only on par with the captain's.

"Well, according to the records in the classics, the elven mother tree Andrassil has survived for more than ten thousand years. The key point is that when it called the elves to come, it must have sensed that some powerful enemy that it could not resist was about to attack."

"As for the Mother Tree Sect that I told you about before I contacted you, it is very likely that this time, the Void Mother Tree worshipped by the Mother Tree Sect will come directly." Moria said in a deep voice.

"Come directly?" Ryan's face changed!
"It's possible, but at least it will be a powerful clone."

Beyonce also nodded and said, "The headquarters also made the same judgment."

"A few minutes ago, Ms. Olena sent me a message saying that she had received urgent intelligence from the Imperial Sword Bearers, saying that the Mother Tree Cult had almost mobilized all its forces to attack Ferdinand Forest this time!"

"A pope and two vice-popes, all came to Ferdinand Forest."

"That is to say, there are three epic-level masters in the Mother Tree Sect alone. The other party must be making a big move!"

"Master, it seems that I can no longer accompany you to explore the ruins. I have to rush over immediately."

"Wait! Ryan, no matter how strong you are, I'm afraid you can't deal with three epic-level warriors, not to mention there is a god who is about to descend!" Moria stopped Ryan and said in a deep voice.

Just as Ryan was about to say something, Moria waved his hand and continued:
"I'm not stopping you from going, but I'm asking you to wait a moment. Why don't we take that big guy with us?"

After saying this, Moria smiled mysteriously.

"Hmm? Master, do you mean that you can repair the large furnace core in a short time?" Ryan was a little confused for a moment.

After all, Moria just said that repairing the large furnace core cannot be done in a short period of time.

"No, but I can change it." Moria pointed to the long-distance airship above his head and said.

"Although the long-distance airship uses a medium-sized furnace core, it uses a flame heart inside. The energy level is higher than the lava heart. As long as it is taken out and placed in a large furnace core, it can be driven."

"Of course, although the Destroyer still cannot operate at full power, it can at least exert 50% of its combat power."

"Wait, Sect Leader, you said I have a piece of Abyss Fire Crystal here, right?" Ryan suddenly thought of something, took out a box from his waist bag and handed it to Moria.

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier? Of course you can." Moriah said, his eyes widened as he looked at Ryan.

"I remember now, did you get it in the Flame Canyon? I remember the school mentioned it a few months ago, but I was busy preparing to explore the ruins and didn't pay much attention to it."

"Yes, Master, that time."

"That's easy."

Ferdinand City.

The two old men in black robes who left were both deputy popes of the Mother Tree Sect. They passed through the underground tunnel again, and after leaving the palace, they quickly came to a camp that had been prepared long ago.

In the center of the camp, there was a huge old tree, dying. On the thick trunk, there was an old face with a look of pain.

If there were elves present, they would immediately recognize that this was the ancient war tree second only to the elven mother tree, and for some unknown reason, it was bound here.

But what is even more horrifying is that at this moment, the green leaves growing on all the branches of the huge ancient tree have been replaced by elves of all ages and sizes, both male and female.

Each branch pierced painfully into the chest and abdomen of an elf. The bright red blood slowly flowed down along the branches, gathered at the trunk, and continued to flow towards the roots below.

The weird thing is that, although the elves should be in severe pain, at this moment, all have their eyes closed, smiles on their faces, and stretch out their arms, as if welcoming something.

Smile and blood.

Welcome and penetrate.

It creates an atmosphere that makes people feel scared, trembling and weird!
Around the bound ancient war tree stood dozens of black-robed men with golden trees tattooed on their chests. At this moment, seeing the two vice-popes coming, the leader of them immediately stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Vice Pope Perseus, Vice Pope Paxson, everything is ready now!"

"Very good, let's start!" The old man named Perseus nodded and said.

"Hehe, everyone, including the elves, the empire, and other sects, thinks that we need to break the third crystal before we can start formal prayers. They are totally wrong!"

"It seems that my Lord will be the first god to descend as the main incarnation!" The old man named Paxson smiled and said proudly.

The main clone represents the clone that carries more than 30% of the true spirit of the god.

With the order from the two vice-popes, the grand prayer ceremony began!
One after another, the men in black robes began to chant loudly. If one looked down from high in the sky, one could see that there were five such camps in total, forming a huge inverted pentagram wizard formation.

"boom!"

One after another, blood-green beams of light, a total of five beams of light rushed obliquely into the sky!
Thousands of meters in the sky, five beams of light converged together to form a thicker beam of light that shot straight into the sky!
The target was the bright spot that was shining with pale golden light.

The next second, a magnificent golden giant tree shadow appeared in the sky, as if filling up half of the sky.

A special surging energy field covers a huge area of ​​several square kilometers.

At this moment, all the elves, whether epic or ordinary, in a large area below the giant golden tree felt as if their hearts were hit hard. They looked at the golden tree that suddenly appeared in the sky with panic expressions on their faces.

The crystal barrier, which had already dimmed a lot, now made a series of "pop!" or "crackle!" sounds like glass breaking.

Inside the palace, several elven elders wearing garlands and fern-covered shoulder armor who were responsible for the defense of the last three crystal towers couldn't help but change color when they saw this scene!

As druid elders, they naturally understood what this meant.

"This force is too strong. If all five crystal towers were present, we could still try to resist it. Now there are only three left. I'm afraid..."

"The crystal barrier is about to shatter! We must think of a solution!"

"What else can we do now? The crystal barrier is the last resort."
