Chapter 286: Crazy Theory Again! Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life

Chapter 286: Crazy Theory Again! Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life
Theresa said seriously, "Master, the goddess Heraclea still exists. I can feel her gaze and hear her response."

Roland's expression was surprisingly calm.

He said, “I understand what you mean, and what you said makes sense. The Red Holy Spirit may be the Red Holy Spirit, but my guess may also be correct.

Because the existence of the goddess Heraka does not contradict the fact that he has already been reincarnated.

——In other words, you can indeed sense God’s gaze and hear God’s response.

But the deity you perceive now is the goddess Heraclea of the past."

Theresa looked at Roland with an increasingly strange look in her eyes. She wanted to complain, "Master, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

But she wisely kept her mouth shut and went out to do her work.

There was one particularly good thing about the nuns: no matter how crazy Master Roland got, or what outrageous things their master ordered them to do, they would carry it out to the letter.

After seeing Theresa off, Roland looked at the study with a sigh.

"Including the books by the Bloody Wizards, there are 3249 volumes in total, and I have read them all."

After doing the math, Roland showed a strange look.

According to the calendar, he stayed on the ship for more than four years. So, he read three books on average every day?
Roland always felt like it was more than four years.

But the calendar doesn't lie.

In fact, Roland did read all the books in the past twenty years.

He did not study them all carefully, but it can also be said that he studied all the books in the study.

Because many books are related, you can just flip through another one after finishing one, without having to do too in-depth research.

In the beginning, it took Roland more than a week to read a book, and sometimes he would go back and read it again.

Later he read faster and faster.

At the beginning, whenever Roland picked up a book, he would think, "The author is amazing! The content is so detailed!"

But later on, whenever Roland picked up any book, he would feel like, "Damn, this is awesome! Just read the overview on the first few pages and the summary on the last few pages."

Especially those that talked about magic theory, sometimes several books were devoted to a sixth-level spell. Roland would read these books carefully, reading every one of them, because the magic in the south was very different from that in the east.

But he didn't need to study this kind of book in detail. If it were someone else, these few books alone would be enough for them to study for twenty years. And if they could study these books thoroughly in just twenty years, they would be able to make a living for the rest of their lives!
Because these books are very powerful, as long as you understand them, you can learn sixth-level magic!

But Roland is a master of magic. It would take others twenty years to study these books, but after reading them for a few hours, Roland would only make an evaluation: "It's very interesting. If I have students in the future, I can let them study it, but I have to make some changes. This way of casting spells is not suitable for actual combat."

His current magic is stronger than most late-stage first-level wizards. Just writing about level 6 magic by name would almost fill a book!
For example, Roland has already mastered extremely difficult magic such as 'Invisible Divine Shadow' and 'Mist Covering the City'.

Roland even encountered a problem now - he had to use the magic book! Because he couldn't remember!

A few years ago, he even had the feeling that "a magician's strength lies in his memory."

Later, the feeling turned into a 'it depends on whether I can think of the magic' feeling - he no longer needed any spells!

Therefore, if someone were to flip through Roland's magic book, they would look very confused.

Because most of the magic above only has names and functions, without any spells!
There are very, very few magic spells with spells.

It's more of a catalogue than a magic book.

Roland can now be called a true master of magic.

If Roland were to become the tower master now, there would be only one thing he would not be able to do: he would not know how to teach magic to students.

Because he knows magic, but he doesn't know the spells and can't even explain the principles!

When other professors teach magic, they might list a bunch of formulas, but he just writes the answers directly.

The same is true in terms of knowledge. He has read a lot of things and they have left a deep impression on him. In fact, he not only understands the knowledge, but also deeply understands the essence behind it.

However, he would only suddenly remember this knowledge when he encountered something, and then directly give an answer.

When others hear this answer, they will feel like, "Do you understand? How can this be possible? Are you talking nonsense?"

In terms of magic and knowledge, Roland has reached the state of returning to nature.

He is also good at swordsmanship.

Roland has been practicing swordplay with himself.

One of them is Roland, and the other is the 'Red Saint' whose body is controlled by Roland.

The Holy Blood Wizards were typical practitioners of both magic and physical cultivation. The Red Saint's body was extremely powerful, and coupled with the suppression of her realm, she was initially a very suitable opponent for Roland's swordsman.

But later on, Roland had to make two physical training potions every time he hunted sea monsters to strengthen the Red Saint's body.

In the end, Roland had to ask Leona to help the Red Saint fight him.

Because his swordsmanship was so strong, even if his opponent was physically stronger, they would hardly be his match. Only with Leona's incredibly strange agility could he defeat Roland.

But after Roland had fully mastered the Night Demon Secret Art and the Invisible Shadow, when little Leona helped him, Roland also had a feeling that "you are too stupid."

At first, Roland had the feeling that "when strength is equal, tactics determine victory or defeat." Therefore, he always believed that "the more swordsman knows, the stronger he becomes, and there is a restraint between swordsmanship."

But later on, he had the feeling that "whether a swordsman is powerful or not depends on whether his sword is fast enough (speed of sword energy) and strong enough."

In the end, it became "Whether a swordsman is strong or not depends on his brain, and victory or defeat depends on gambling."

He has now achieved the goal of 'no tricks are better than tricks'
This is already the realm of a sword master.

His body is also extremely terrifying, and he can fight sea monsters in the ocean.

The only shortcoming is that he does not have the training methods of the second-level sword masters.

Therefore, his swordsmanship strength is quasi-second level. A quasi-swordsman with a physical strength close to that of an abyssal demon.

In the study, there are many records about the powerful people in the south.

In the south, knights held a very high status and were very powerful. Even Dagmar wouldn't dare to provoke a Knight Saint like Lawrence, who was at the early second level.

Roland really wanted to see the strength of the Southern Sword Masters.

The Red Saint can no longer serve as Roland's sparring partner.

In other words, if the Red Saint didn't go all out now, she wouldn't be able to defeat Roland. He was wearing armor and pseudo-saint clothes, and with the Night Demon Secret Art and various deep-sea potions to improve his physical body, his magic resistance was almost the same as that of a quasi-second-level abyss demon.

His body is almost immune to magic, and his health bar is very long. He can withstand the second-level Celus's thunder magic, then take a sip of magic potion and go back to the attack.

Of course, Roland didn't dare let the lunatic Red Saint go all out. Before she thought of herself as Diana today, if she had been given the chance to go all out, she would have really tried her best to fight Roland.

This made Roland unsure of his current strength.

Today was his latest battle record - he killed a second-stage early sea monster in the sea.

But this was his achievement thanks to the Spider Ship. It was considered a technological breakthrough.

Recently, Roland has had the feeling that he has broken through the middle stage of the first stage and entered the late stage of the first stage in his cultivation.

'Fat Duncan' and many blood-stained wizards also have many recipes and ready-made promotion potions.

But Roland never advanced because there was an extraordinary formula in "Deep Sea Alchemy and the Art of Immortality".

The deep-sea potion brewed from this recipe can allow wizards to obtain a body as strong as a sea monster and remain eternally young when they advance.

There is even a chance of gaining some of the sea monster's power.

So, when Roland saw the South Sea Kraken, the second-level 'Seleus' raging in the storm a few days ago, he was very excited.

Physically, Serius is renowned for its tenacious vitality, capable of regenerating severed limbs. By alchemically extracting its power, potions can maximize its physical enhancement—this is a second-tier sea monster!
In terms of magic, Seleus can call the wind and rain and summon storms.

The only drawback is that the magic resistance of the Celus is very average. Using it to make potions will not increase the magic resistance much.

On the contrary, some sea monsters that are famous for their magic resistance have average vitality.

Roland once struggled with the question of whether to increase his health and recovery, or to improve his defense.

But later, he decided to increase his health bar and recovery ability.

Because the most powerful in the south are the Saints, much of their magic is 'holy magic', a force that strikes directly at the source - in Roland's words, that's true damage. Therefore, stacking up tankiness is better than stacking up magic resistance.

As for the wizards in the south, strictly speaking, they should be called 'magics', or 'people favored by the God of Magic', because they have no realm!

Judging from some of the biographical books in the study, the power of the "magicians" in the south is a bit exaggerated. It's like a fairy tale.

In these biographies, a little girl who had just been exposed to magic for a few days was clearly only at the level of a wizard apprentice, but the magic she cast was so powerful that even a "half-demon" would not dare to take it head-on.

But from the magical literature, Roland felt that the magic of the South was completely crushed by the magic of the East.

Roland felt that those biographies were generally true—the deeds of certain magicians might really be like myths.

However, these magicians are most likely not human beings, but gods who came here for a stroll pretending to be mortals!
Shaking his head, Roland decided to advance to the late first stage first.

We are about to step into the south. This place is full of gods and demons roaming around everywhere. It would be too intimidating if we don't have some strength.

"Take the study with you."

Roland waved his wand, and then all the books in the study returned to the bookshelf.

Then, he took out a magic book, flipped through it, and then Roland raised the snake staff in his hand high. Roland chanted a spell in the center of the study.

Roland chanted this spell for more than half a minute, draining a third of his magic power.

With the guidance of magic, the bookshelf in the study appeared like a wall of building blocks with many mosaic squares.

Then, the mosaic squares on the bookshelf became increasingly convex and concave, and gradually became smaller. Finally, they shrank into a Rubik's Cube!
He stretched out his hand and pointed with his magic wand, and the Rubik's Cube fell into Roland's hand. He shook the Rubik's Cube twice, and the movement of the Rubik's Cube was very strange, as if it was slowing down.

Moreover, it seemed that Roland "clearly didn't use any strength", but the Rubik's Cube was thrown very high every time, and he had to pull it with his hands before it would slowly fall down.

After leaving the house, Roland stuffed the small Rubik's Cube into his pocket, shook his head, and muttered, "The weight is very low, but the quality hasn't changed. The Southern magic collected by the Three-Headed Snake is still inferior to the one my senior sister used. How did she turn the house into paper? As the Southerners say, that's not magic at all, it's witchcraft!"

It turned out that this Rubik's Cube weighed more than two tons! But when Roland lifted it up, he didn't have to exert much effort.

It does not weigh much, but its inertia is terrifying.

So much so that when it is tossed up, whether it is going up or down, it seems like it is in slow motion!

"My strength is indeed increasing. I wonder what will happen after taking the 'Cerius Potion'. Perhaps I can turn some ore into small iron balls and pretend to be small iron balls to hit people."
Roland went directly to the alchemy room.

The straw sailors brought some materials from the sea monster's body, and several nuns were processing the materials here.

This alchemy room was previously presided over by the Red Saint.

Mrs. Wendisa's memory is very valuable, and Roland learned a lot about potion alchemy.

He even suspected that many of the memories did not come from Wendysa but from another 'person'.

Well, anyway, now the Red Saint thinks she is Diana.

A weak and gentle Muggle shepherdess, only at the level of a low-level apprentice - but in the diary, she is very talented. So she can still help with alchemy.

If there is a three-headed snake wizard here, he will find that there are many things in this alchemy room that can repair the "Magic Nexus".

In fact, the magic hub on this ship had been repaired by Roland according to the drawings in the study.

But this ship still cannot be driven by the magic core because Roland lacks magic stones.

There were originally quite a few magic stones on the ship, but most of them were thrown into the sea by the three-headed snake sailors.

The remaining magic stones were not used for this ship at all. Over the years, Roland used them to make "straw puppets" - real puppets.

Roland still has Little Roland's abilities, but unless there are special circumstances, he doesn't want to use Little Roland because he can't control himself under the buff of desire.

Therefore, these puppets were all created by Roland according to the alchemy of the Thousand Bodies Technique, and incorporating magic carpet technology. They are his hands and eyes, and also his straw magic carpet servants.

By the way, Roland only has a few hundred magic stones in his pocket now.

Even if the magic stones on the puppets are included, the total is less than ten thousand.

Ten thousand magic stones. For a first-level wizard, it is a considerable number.

Even for a wealthy wizard lord, these ten thousand magic stones are equivalent to several years' income of the territory.

And even for a magic battleship, it is enough.

But for a 'super battleship' like the 'third generation magic battleship', it's really not good enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 'Storm' is a small aircraft carrier or a 'heavy cruiser'!

Its fuel consumption is horrible.

Its magic hub can use the 'Philosopher's Stone'! And the 'Philosopher's Stone' is the standard power source of this ship!
There was originally a philosopher's stone on the ship.

But it was thrown into the sea by the three-headed snakes.

Before, when the three-headed snakes saw that Roland and his group were about to attack the lowest cabin, they threw many important materials that could affect the battle situation into the sea.

Including the Philosopher's Stone on the Magic Nexus. If these magic stones were obtained by the wizards of the Eastern Territory, they could activate the magic cannon!
The Magic Cannon is much easier to repair than the Magic Nexus, and is extremely difficult to completely destroy. It can be fired even under extreme circumstances, even after being hit a few times by a wizard!

This thing can be activated independently of the Magic Nexus. As long as there are enough magic stones, or even a philosopher's stone, the six magic cannons on the ship will instantly transform into six terrifying second-level wizards!

Although it takes a long time to charge, it can hit far and hard, and can carry out long-range attacks beyond visual range.

By that time, Dagmar in the distance hadn't even seen the ship before it went up into the sky!
Even if the wizards of the East Territory do not use magic cannons, the Philosopher's Stone can make their magic circles many times stronger.

This Philosopher's Stone is worth a hundred rare items! It must not be obtained by the enemy.

So the crew threw all the important strategic materials in the lower cabin into the sea - including a lot of spare parts.

So much so that when Roland later repaired the ship, he had to use materials from the sea monster.

At that time, the Storm had not yet entered the fog, so as long as the three-headed snakes could hold their ground, it would be fine to throw the magic stone into the sea.

Because they have Nagas, and magic stones, especially the Philosopher's Stone, contain powerful magic. For the Nagas, with some instruments, they can retrieve all the magic stones in a few days.

So for the Nagas, throwing the magic stone into the sea is like throwing something into the house.

Even if the Storm entered the fog, or even if weeks had passed and the magic stones had been washed away by the current, it would be fine.

After victory, the three-headed snakes just need to return to their original coordinates and expand the search range, which will only take a little more time.

But even if Roland had Naga, he couldn't get those things back.

One is that it took who knows how many years for the fog to clear.

One is that this place is more than 7,000 kilometers away from the previous coordinates!
So, now this broken ship has to be pulled slowly by spider silk.

"Oh, I'm so worried. This place is indeed 'very close' to the continental shelf, but how long will it take to get there? If there's a storm, the ship will be blown off course."

Roland shook his head and came to a nun named Maria.

Leona is also here to join in the fun.

She was standing by the alchemy table, watching Leona fiddling with a strange large gem.

Perhaps because of her interest in 'beef granules', Leona was also curious about this 'beef granule processing plant (alchemy room)'.

However, usually she was dancing and making trouble here, but today she was standing there, curiously playing with the gems - her eyes were shining.

This gem is truly beautiful.

It's a sapphire, as big as a palm!

Judging from the bloodstains and white semi-solidified liquid on it, it should have been taken out from Serius's brain.

After wiping it clean, the gemstone is flawless.

This gem faintly reveals a strange magical glow.

Maria said, "Rabbi, look at what this is. I don't find it in the book."

Roland frowned as he took it and looked at it, then his eyes suddenly narrowed.
