Chapter 74 Peru Town
The proficiency of the spirit-controlling technique increased by more than 120 points, at the cost of three spirit coins and six hours of absorption time, plus half an hour of release time.
Continuing to work hard, Clown drank a bottle of No. 2 holy water, took out the spirit coin and began to absorb the spiritual essence. He planned to use the bullet in the visualization of the Golden Light Mantra at the hour of Mao or the hour of You.
This not only exercises the art of controlling spirits, but also improves the efficiency of visualizing the Golden Light Mantra, killing two birds with one stone and maximizing efficiency.
After absorbing three spirit coins, the sand of time filled the quicksand, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Crown stopped his busy day and began to rest.
He opens his eyes on time at five o'clock in the morning, and four hours of sleep can ensure that he is in full energy for the whole day.
He visualized the Golden Light Mantra at the hours of Mao and You, practiced fire breath during the day, refined potions at night, and absorbed spiritual essence a few hours before bedtime, working hard to improve his proficiency in the art of controlling spirits.
If there is no external interference and there are enough raw materials, he can work hard until the end of time and there is no more room for improvement.
Walking between life and death is certainly exciting, but compared to being invincible as soon as you appear, I believe most people would choose the latter.
No matter how the enemy changes, I can suppress him with just one finger.
Ten days later, on the training ground.
[Golden Light Mantra: 8156/50000; Level 1]
[Spirit Controlling Technique: 1389/3000; Level 1]
[Flame Breath: 2276/3000; Level 1]
[Flame Cross: 946/2000; Level 1]
[Cross Sword: 837/5000; Level 3]
[Herbal Medicine: 4576/5000; Level 3]
Looking at the skyrocketing proficiency of each skill, Clown's eyes reflected confidence.
It is such a happy thing that all the efforts have paid off.
At this moment, Crown felt as if there was a warm stove in his lower abdomen, transmitting heat to his limbs and bones.
His strength and speed have improved to a certain extent in his gestures. His dream of being as fierce as a sword may come true if he works hard for another ten days or half a month.
Marshall once said that the fastest record in the church to become a flame warrior is one year. He just wanted to tell the other party that such a record was too weak.
The current situation is that he only has three spirit coins left in his hand, otherwise his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell and the Spirit Controlling Technique would be further improved.
At this time, Nick rushed out from behind: "Crown, come here, something big has happened."
His brows were furrowed and he spoke quickly and urgently.
What's going on? Could it be that the cultists are coming? But why are they running towards the rest area? Crown was stunned for 0.01 seconds and quickly followed.
In the room, Nick dug out a scroll and spread it out on the table carefully.
This is a map of the area around Rhine City. It is very finely produced, just like an aerial photo. The orientation of the map follows the principle of north at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left, and east on the right.
"The church in Zak is affiliated with the Archdiocese of Rhine City. The Holy Fire Cathedral in the city is the church's base in the north of the kingdom. After the gray fog, Cardinal Flanders asked the scattered churches to contact the Holy Fire Cathedral every two days to report the church's current situation."
"We are at this location, the northernmost part of the Farouk Kingdom. Zak Town is surrounded by mountains on both sides. Going further north, we will reach the towering Andes Mountains. There is a hidden mountain trail leading to Cansad City. At this time, the danger in the wild is probably more than ten times higher." Nick tapped the upper left corner of the map and continued:
"Going further south, next to us is the town of Peru. Peru is our only way to travel south. News came from the Holy Fire Cathedral that Peru Cathedral lost contact five days ago."
"The bishop has issued an order that nearby churches investigate and issue anything while ensuring their own safety."
The cartography skill had imprinted this map in Clown's memory without any error. He subconsciously glanced at the map and said:
"You mean we should send someone over to investigate?"
“No,” Nick shook his head, his eyes particularly solemn: “The straight-line distance from Peru to us is more than 30 kilometers. Due to the rugged road, even if we ride horses, we can’t go back and forth in a day in winter when the days are short and the nights are long.
I am quite familiar with the priest there. His strength is about the same as mine. He is assisted by two Crusaders.
We lost contact five days ago, which means that the entire town there is likely to have been wiped out, and we cannot go to this dangerous area to investigate."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The priest raised his head and looked at the other person: "What I am worried about now is that if all this was done by those cultists, will we be the next target? We must be on guard against this!"
Clown nodded slightly. Judging from the current situation, the town has become an isolated island. If the situation in Peru is as the priest expected, they can only go around the mountains if they want to leave, but no one knows what the situation in the mountains will be like.
The beasts mutated, grew in size, and became more aggressive, that was for sure.
"What is our current situation? Can ordinary people handle the onslaught of mutant beasts?"
These days he paid no attention to what was happening outside and focused on training and improvement. He did not step out of the backyard of the church and hardly communicated with other people.
"If the size of the herd is similar to last time, I don't think it will be a big problem," Nick said, his expression slightly relieved. "I found a very good blacksmith named Del Smith. He has already made a usable crossbow. You should know that he used a powerful military crossbow in my collection as a reference. The effective killing range is about 120 meters."
"I'm going to send out a crossbow troop of about a hundred people, but we need a lot of steel to make enough crossbows. The iron pots in the homes of the people nearby have been melted down, but we need to stockpile more. I'll ask Geralt to lead the strong laborers to mine in the mines, and you need to be responsible for the safety of the church."
"Okay, when will you start going to the mine?" Clown knew that they had to shoulder their respective responsibilities. The priest had taken special care of him, allowing him to concentrate on training these days.
To put it another way, 'guarding the home' was just a change of training location, and it would not affect his own proficiency in fire breath.
"Starting tomorrow, I will notify the demon hunter tonight to make preparations. I will provide him with good food and drink, and it's time for him to do some work." The priest put away the map. "Starting tonight, one of the three of us must keep watch in the front. You go first tonight."
"I understand. I'll prepare some battle potions and talisman water for you tonight," Klauen agreed. Strength potions and stamina potions are still very useful in battle. He has experimented and found that strength potions can increase one's strength by about 5%.
Any slight advantage in a battle will slowly accumulate into a winning advantage. The talisman water of the Qingxin Talisman can reduce the influence of negative emotions such as irritability and madness, and the talisman water of the Jinguang Talisman can block the invasion of evil things.
If everyone had stacked these buffs when fighting the boar-headed evil creature last time, we might have been able to do serious damage to it.
"Okay, I'll keep a record of these expenses and pay you back from the church's income later," Nick smiled. "Now Geralt won't refuse. It's hard to persuade this guy to do something that doesn't bring him any income."
