Chapter 194 Time Travel
After returning to the forging workshop, Crown immediately began to practice the Silver Fox Breathing Technique.
Although he was confident that he would become stronger faster than anyone expected, he also felt a sense of urgency.
No one knows when the evil god will finally come.
There was not enough time and he had too many things to do.
Too many skills require hard work. He needs to cultivate spirits and learn all kinds of secret knowledge to enrich his knowledge.
Even if he only counts the skills that can improve basic physical fitness, he must at least master three breathing methods, and the practice of the Golden Light Mantra cannot be neglected.
The stronger the basic physical attributes, the more powerful the various combat skills will naturally be.
These can be honed in combat, and actual combat is the most efficient way to quickly improve combat skills.
Fortunately, the workshop's production efficiency has been greatly improved. What used to take three months of overtime to complete can now be done in one and a half months with normal working hours. He doesn't need to take extra time to pay attention to the progress.
When people focus, they always feel that time passes quickly. Crown felt that in a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the afternoon.
[Silver Fox Breathing Method: 2012/5000; Level 2]
After checking today's results, Crown nodded secretly.
According to the current pace, in five or six days not only will this breathing method be advanced, but several drops of sun and moon essence can also be refined.
He walked out of the room, and Del was already waiting at the door: "Sir, I went to the newspaper office this afternoon, and found nothing. Someone even forged it in order to claim the reward."
He recounted his experience at the newspaper office, where someone was handed an artificially made jade and knew it was a fake just by feeling it.
"You don't have to go to the newspaper office every day. Just go once a week. First, make sure you can control your spirit and improve your strength as soon as possible."
Clown wanted to quickly raise his subordinates' strength to the second level so that he would feel more at ease when they did things.
"Understood," Del agreed.
“There is one more thing I want to tell you. Something has happened with the sale of the mansion.
The agent told me that the owner of the house had sold the house this morning.
I don’t know if someone is interfering, I plan to find out if there is any hidden truth.”
How could it be such a coincidence? The house hadn't been sold for so many days, and as soon as they expressed interest, someone else got there first. There must be something fishy going on.
Clown narrowed his eyes and ordered:
“Not for now. Let’s first ask someone to check if anyone is living in that house.
If someone has checked in, forget it. If it's still empty, it won't be too late to check again. "
He wondered if the people behind Edwin wanted to warn him. The church had not hidden the fact that he became the new bishop, and the high-ranking officials of other forces should have his information on their desks.
He went over the strong men in the City Hall department in his mind, but lacking more detailed intelligence, he did not come to any useful conclusions.
The two men left the church and hired a carriage to go back.
Arriving at his destination, Crown got off the carriage and found an unexpected person waiting at his door.
Edwin walked forward, his smile a little forced, he felt pain in his chest whenever he smiled.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, I didn't mean to offend you yesterday. This is my master's gift to you as an apology."
He bent over, holding a rectangular silver metal gift box in his hands.
There are several golden lines and flower carvings on the box, which looks simple and elegant.
"What's in there?"
"Your Excellency will know it at a glance."
Isn't there a bomb inside?
This was the first thought that came to Crown's mind.
He unreservedly released the source armor and golden light to protect his body, motioned for Del to lean back, then took the box and weighed it in his hand.
The box is made of silver, with gold outlines and shapes, and the contents are very light.
The ability of the Fire Cube immediately enabled him to determine the texture and quality of the box.
It's a very unique source armor, and what is that light golden film? It looks a bit like the spiritual armor of warlocks and priests.
Glancing at the light on the other person's body, Edwin was surprised at the bishop's caution: "Brother, it's just a gift, what's the big deal?! I have no reason to commit suicide attacks."
Although he complained in his heart, the respect on his face did not diminish in the slightest. He heard from his patron that this bishop was the youngest bishop of the Rhine Church in nearly a hundred years and there was a great possibility that he would make further progress.
Becoming a third-order transcendent was his lifelong goal. He had no idea what it meant to go one step further. He only remembered the uncontrollable envy in his patron's eyes when he said this.
Not noticing anything wrong, Crown opened the box.
Inside were folded pages of paper, a bunch of brass keys, and some gold spirit coins.
He counted them, twenty.
He handed the box to Del who was beside him, and he picked up the paper and opened it to look at it.
This is a contract for the sale of a house, the address is '36 Baker Street', the seller's information is clear, and the buyer's information is blank, waiting to be filled.
“My Lord Bishop, this is a small gift from my Lord, please accept it and make friends.
The house had been cleaned up, the few ghosts hiding inside had been eliminated, and holy water had been sprinkled in the basement.
Since we don’t know what style of furniture you like, we didn’t help you choose it.”
Of course, you have to swallow the fat meat that is delivered to your door. Clown did not refuse. After handing the contract to Del, he said,
"Thank you. Can you tell me who your master is?"
Edwin shook his head: “My master said that if there is a chance in the future, he will tell you in person, and he is looking forward to meeting you.
Your Excellency, the things have been delivered, and I have to leave now."
Crown nodded and waved him off.
Del went forward to open the door and asked softly, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
He was worried that high-level contacts with other forces would affect the church's credibility.
"No problem. I will report to the Archbishop tomorrow."
The church and other forces cooperate with each other but compete with each other, not against each other. It is inevitable that everyone has contact with other forces.
Crown thought for a moment, handed over a bunch of brass keys, and said, "Del, you don't have to go to the church tomorrow. Go find a reliable furniture store and buy some furniture to put in the rooms of the mansion. Don't go into the room in the basement yet.
Also, hire a housekeeper and a group of servants. If possible, I would like to stay there tomorrow night. If you pack up properly, you only need to move the two pets and the box under my bed.
Among the servants, the groom and the cook are the most important, and the cook’s skills must be good enough.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The mansion needs guards, please ask Torres if he is interested in serving me."
He now has a shallow foundation and lacks trustworthy people around him, so he has to choose from among the people he has come into contact with.
Del took the key and smiled, "Torres will definitely agree."
. . . .
That night, Crown refined another drop of moonlight.
After refining the finished product this time, he immediately moved his consciousness away from the moonlight, otherwise it would be absorbed by his soul again.
He released bullet time and performed the visualization of the Golden Light Mantra three times, and only a shallow layer of the Sand of Time remained.
He used his mind to control the moonlight to slowly approach the hourglass. As the distance between the two gradually got closer, he felt an extremely longing emotion coming from the hourglass.
This was the first time he had felt this kind of emotion. In the past, all the emotions expressed by the spirit controllers were negative.
The moonlight came into contact with the hourglass, like a grain of sand flying into the desert, as if it had originally belonged there, and Yuling felt joyful.
A large amount of time sand appeared out of nothing in the quicksand of the hourglass. After only two seconds, the sand was overflowing.
The development of the matter has not yet ended. The color of the time hourglass has become brighter, and there is suddenly one more silver star on the base where there were originally three.
Suddenly, there was a bright silver light, and for a moment it overshadowed the gold and silver crystal ball in the sky.
As Clown's consciousness moved closer to the hourglass of time, he felt that the spirit control had become more powerful and it had advanced to the second level.
The experimental results are encouraging. The moonlight can not only quickly replenish the spirit control power, but also promote the growth of the spirit control.
The advancement of the time hourglass was different from what he had originally imagined.
He originally thought that it would be just like when the Fire Cube was advanced, with chaos and confusion, and the evil spirit would come out arrogantly to assert its dominance again, but none of this happened.
I don’t know if it’s because of the special nature of Yuehua or because this spirit has suffered enough golden light curses.
Moonlight can cleanse the soul and is a more advanced material for cultivating spirit control. So, can the sun essence cleanse the essence of spirit control? A bold idea came to Clown's mind, but after a little thought, he gave up this tempting idea.
As long as you visualize the Golden Light Mantra, the spirit will be cleansed, and the bright will will also constantly cleanse the evil thoughts generated by the spirit. It is good to maintain the status quo.
It would be difficult to deal with if the "medicinal effect" of the sun essence was too strong and ruined the soul control.
He planned to wait until he cultivated his third spirit to try out this idea.
After the Time Hourglass was upgraded, Crown could feel its power and the time it could provide benefits more clearly.
His ability to passively sense time has been enhanced, and he can now sense time with an accuracy of milliseconds.
The duration of bullet time is extended to thirty-six minutes, and the body acceleration effect provided is now up to 15%.
The maximum number of times Time Stands Still can be used is increased to three times, and a new method of use is unlocked.
In the past, time stopped for external purposes, but now he can release it on himself. This method of use consumes much less time sand, and it can be released up to twelve times.
Objects have inertia when they move. By releasing themselves, they can ignore inertia and make quick adjustments. This makes it suitable for use when conducting extreme pressure attacks.
However, it takes more practice to adapt the body to this combat rhythm.
The ability of the fourth silver star lit by the hourglass is called Time Rewind, which is an auxiliary skill.
You can trace back what happened to an object or an area in the past 24 hours. This ability also requires the consumption of Time Sand.
Crown picked up the box that Edwin had given him and activated his ability to go back in time.
A set of time-traveling images was generated in his mind, with the silver box as the center, and everything that happened in the one-meter space in the past 24 hours was presented in every detail, and even transmitted a "sound" to his consciousness.
He was able to control the speed of the 'video' and watch it over and over again. He was unable to see who was standing behind Edwin from the experience in the box, but he heard that person's voice.
I always feel that this skill is a bit unorthodox. Clown is confident that he can recognize the other party after hearing this voice. He put down the box and thought:
'When it comes to events within 24 hours, Sherlock Holmes is nothing compared to me.'
He checked the consumption of the Sand of Time and found that it had been reduced by about one-half.
The skill is very useful, the only downside is that it consumes too much Sand of Time and cannot directly improve combat effectiveness.
