In this situation, it's probably impossible to reach the portal without paying a price to break through the layers of lesser demons.
But then again...
"Aren't these little devils a bit too powerful? They're on a completely different level from the other monsters I've encountered."
Ouyang Qianjin found it strange.
Even according to the ranking system Sebastian mentioned before, it's just a difference between 'novice mage' and 'intermediate mage'.
"Sebastian, what insurmountable gap exists between the beginner and intermediate levels?"
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
Since I don't understand, I should naturally ask the 'omnipotent Sebastian'.
He definitely knows more about the rules of this other world than I do, doesn't he?
"Yes, young lady, it is just as you thought."
Sebastian is quite honest.
He would explain anything that Miss Ouyang wanted to know, as long as he knew the answer.
"Oh, tell me, tell me quickly."
Young Lady Ouyang perked up; this was intelligence, the rules of another world.
Having more of this won't do you any harm.
The Zhang brothers, Zhang Mo and Zhang Yuan, naturally had no idea what the conversation between Ouyang Qianjin and Sebastian meant.
Although I can understand both the words and phrases.
But I just don't understand what they mean.
So he could only stand quietly to the side and listen.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand.
The important thing is to clearly understand your own position and stance.
Since Ouyang Qianjin didn't summon them, the two of them wouldn't say anything more; they would just listen and that was it. Why bother with so much talk?
"Beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels—the simplest way to differentiate them is by the amount of magic or skills one possesses."
"For example, if a warrior or a mage only learns nine combat skills or spells, then even if he has learned the most powerful skills, he is only at the beginner level."
"On the contrary, regardless of whether it is useful or not, as long as you learn more than ten but less than twenty, you are considered intermediate, while more than twenty is considered advanced."
"Although it may sound unbelievable, please pay attention, young lady."
The emphasis of the term 'holding' is not on the 'number' of holdings, but on the 'quantity'.
"To put it more simply, it's about the amount of magic or mental energy within the body."
"Even if you master a calamity-level skill, if you don't have enough of it, there will be a world of difference between low-level and mid-level or high-level skills."
"I believe the young lady has also experienced the most direct feelings."
Sebastian's explanation made Ouyang Qianjin frown slightly.
"You mean the number of summoned creatures I own?"
"I don't know," said Ouyang Qianjin uncertainly.
"Yes, to be more precise, there's also the limitation regarding distance."
Sebastian nodded.
"Don't you find it strange? You've clearly gained a significant boost in mental strength, but why hasn't the number of your summoned creatures increased? Instead, you have to wait until the so-called upgrade to increase the number."
"To be honest, I've never heard of any limit on the number of summoning mages, including necromancers, other than the limitation on mental strength."
Sebastian did not give Ouyang Qianjin a clear answer.
He simply gave Ouyang Qianjin a direction to think about based on his own experience during his lifetime and some things he had heard.
"Now that you mention it, it's true."
After Sebastian pointed it out, Ouyang Qianjin realized that this was indeed the case.
Although, according to the game, it is common knowledge that the number of summons you can hold will not increase if you don't level up.
But if we put it in reality, it would be somewhat 'unreasonable'.
After all, his [Skeleton Transformation], like [Dark Sky Curtain], is a one-time use that requires the payment of mental energy.
From now on, as long as the skeleton doesn't die, I won't have to bother with it anymore.
So, even if there is some mental energy consumption, it won't be much, and there's absolutely no need to worry about your strength.
"Although I am not a mage, I do not know whether the specific circumstances of mages are the same as those of warriors."
"But the difference between low-level and intermediate, and between intermediate and high-level, lies in this difference in 'quantity'."
"but……"
"but?"
Seeing Sebastian pause here, Ouyang Qianjin quickly interjected.
“In the past, this old servant always thought it was like this, no! I should say that this is our common sense, but ever since the young lady mentioned the concept of the soul last time, this old servant has had a new idea.”
"Heh heh! A new idea?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qianjin raised an eyebrow.
Tell me about it.
Seeing that Miss Ouyang was taking a liking to this place, Sebastian had no choice but to continue.
“I’ve been emphasizing the issue of ‘quantity’ before, but after the young lady told me about the soul and the current state of her own soul, I think this common sense that we’ve followed for thousands of years may not be related to ‘quantity’ but rather to ‘quality’.”
"quality?"
"Yes, after receiving the common sense of this world bestowed upon me by the young lady, I have been studying on my own every night. I once read the phrase 'quantitative change leads to qualitative change' in a book. As for the so-called upgrade, I now feel that it is more like a process of continuously strengthening one's own soul power. Of course, this may just be my own guess, and I don't know if it is accurate."
"Hmm... that's possible."
After listening to Sebastian's explanation, Ouyang Qianjin nodded slightly.
