Chapter 242 New Rules, Ninth Order Priest
In Shenglin Town, inside the Phantom Exchange.
Davis was talking to Hughes, trying to get some useful information out of him, but he couldn't get anything out of him.
After all, even Hughes was completely unaware of Lin Luo's situation.
The old man just replied with a smile to questions from outsiders.
From his eloquent words.
Davis could tell that the answer was irrelevant to the question, so he could only board the Alchemy Battleship and return disappointed.
He also understood that traveling mages like "Lorraine" were accustomed to coming and going without a trace.
Ask Hughes, and he's asking the wrong person.
At this moment, a video suddenly came from Lin's magic device.
"Who would still be messaging me at this hour? Could it be... the King?"
Davis suspiciously immersed his mental power into the communication magic device and quickly browsed the image.
The next second, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said softly: "It seems that this Mage Lorraine is also a person who can't sit still."
Beside Davis, several nobles who were traveling with him exchanged glances and immediately asked, "Sir, do you have any news about Master Lorraine?"
"There is no specific information. I only know that he has entered the orc territory." Davis shook his head slightly.
The nobles who can enter his warship are all members of the faction that supports Artoria.
There was naturally no need to hide this kind of news from them.
Upon hearing this, someone pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Logically speaking, traveling mages like Lorraine, who enjoy traveling around the universe, are very short of cultivation resources.
Could it be that...
He's eyeing the Orcs' treasure trove of resources?"
Davis nodded and said affirmatively: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
In his opinion, high-level mages like "Lorraine" would enter the orc territory.
It is almost impossible that it is because of an overflowing sense of justice that he wants to help eliminate the orc royal family.
Going to plunder resources is in line with the traveling mage's characteristic of spending money, and as for recording the conversations of these orcs, it should be just a matter of convenience.
Taking a step back,
Considering the combat power of the orc royal family, how could they be eliminated by a mage who was not at the peak of the twelfth level?
Although the human race in the Star-Moon Continent has the ability to wipe out the orcs, doing so will only result in more harm than good.
Once a war of genocide is launched, the destruction of weaker small countries is an inevitable result, and the Aklan Empire and the Augustus Empire will definitely be severely damaged.
If the human race shows signs of weakness, it will inevitably attract the greed of other races.
Davis clenched his fists, feeling angry about the orcs' talk of hunting.
Every time the orcs invaded, the major empires did not send out the most top-notch forces, nor did they try their best to fight the orcs to the death.
They just hope that the orcs will stop while they are ahead, which is the result that both sides want most.
In this continent surrounded by wolves, no one would be stupid enough to choose to take a gamble.
The nobles were waiting for Davis's next words, but unexpectedly, he was carefully looking at the image and remained silent.
After a long time, he still couldn't find any features related to the direction.
He shook his head helplessly and had to give up his plan to follow Lin Luo.
"Forget it. With Mage Lorraine's strength, I believe he can escape unscathed from the Orc King's Court."
Davis recalled the instantaneous teleportation portal and felt indescribable confidence in Lin Luo's spatial attainments.
"Besides, even if he is discovered by the orcs, if he can return safely, what can the orcs do to us?"
Not only did the human race not use its full strength, the orcs' rulers were no fools either, and certainly would not fight to the death with the human race.
This is an unwritten rule between the two tribes.
If Lin Luo could rely on his profound spatial attainments to break into the Orc King's Court and escape unscathed.
In this way, the deterrent effect of this incident will also become the basis for negotiations with the Orc King.
Imagine this.
A high-level wizard who is good at making nuclear bombs can come and go freely in your royal court at any time.
Presumably, even the orc king would become restless.
Most members of the orc royal family do not have the ability to protect themselves from the assassination of high-level wizards.
Davis couldn't help but smile with joy when he thought of this.
He looked at the contact list on the magic communication device. "Lorraine" had become "unreachable" and couldn't help but sigh: "If there is a chance, this Mage Lorraine must be tied to the Aklan Empire."
His thoughts were fleeting, and his joy and sigh only lasted for a moment.
Seeing this, the nobles sitting opposite Davis could only ignore the rich expressions on his face.
dark night forest,
Inside a small orc tribe.
Lin Luo turned into a breeze. At the beginning, he was hanging high in the air, and in the end, he was sitting on top of the statue.
The mental strength required to absorb the power of faith is too enormous, which is a considerable burden for him.
Only by doing this can we barely relieve the burden of excessive use of mental energy.
now,
Lin Luo fully embodies the concept of multitasking.
Not only does he need to be on guard against unexpected situations that may occur at any time, but he also has to maintain the operation of the concealment technique.
At the same time, he also had to concentrate on absorbing the power of faith and let it flow into the spiritual space.
During this process, Lin Luo also made new discoveries.
The "Daoyuantu" technique can not only absorb magic energy, but also the power of faith.
Lin Luo was overjoyed when he sensed this situation. He immediately used all his strength to operate the "Daoyuan Diagram" and the power of faith was quickly digested by him.
The converted power of faith, in addition to increasing attribute points, can even nourish the soul and slowly improve mental talent.
This phenomenon would be difficult to detect if the power of faith was insufficient, but what Lin Luo absorbed at this time was the faith accumulated by the orcs for countless years.
Even though most of them have disappeared into the void, the remaining power of faith is still considerable.
Such a large amount of faith power pouring into his body also allowed Lin Luo to perceive more subtle details.
At this moment,
The spirit who had been watching suddenly spoke up and explained, "The power of faith is an omnipotent force for the gods who know how to use it.
Powerful gods can even use the power of faith to create things in the void and obtain items that meet their definitions.
In the final analysis,
This power is the product of mental force interfering with reality. Although it is slightly different from the power of the world in essence, it is generally similar.
Therefore, these powers of faith have more uses than just these.”
Lin Luo suddenly understood and nodded, "So, I can also try to use the power of faith to directly enhance my talent?"
"You're dreaming!"
Ling interrupted Lin Luo's wishful thinking and said in a cold voice: "The power of faith can only be exerted at its greatest strength in the hands of the gods.
You only became a demigod by accident.
Although you are now only the weakest demigod, you are qualified to absorb the power of faith, so you can be happy.
Don't think about things that are too far away, it will only be a waste of time."
Although her tone was not very good, she was also explaining a fact for Lin Luo.
His current "demigod body" can only be considered a lowest-end "demigod".
Although the life level is forcibly elevated by various rules and forces,
But strictly speaking, his life level is actually only slightly higher than the saint-level creatures in the middle three realms.
These slight advantages just happened to make him stuck at the threshold of absorbing the power of faith.
Perhaps, this is why the path of becoming a god is difficult, yet so powerful and unreasonable.
From the very beginning, his life level is far ahead of practitioners of other systems.
It is conceivable that with this advantage, Lin Luo could plunder all the ownerless power of faith in the Turbid Realm.
How fast will it grow in the end?
Tenth level, eleventh level?
It won’t be a distant goal!
But Ling's next words brought him back to reality.
“You’re overthinking it.
I just looked at the system regulations and found that after a professional reaches the ninth level, they will no longer receive additional assistance from the system."
Lin Luo was slightly stunned and asked uncertainly: "What kind of aspect? For example..."
"Oh, you have so many questions, and you don't even give me any experience points... you're such a freeloader!"
Before Lin Luo could speak, Ling changed the subject and continued, "Since you are pitiful, this system will reluctantly explain it to you."
If spirits had physical bodies, we might see her now, counting on her fingers, and saying proudly, "For example, the following points.
First, the system's ability to absorb energy resources is cancelled.
The absorption of magic energy within the magic crystal and the process of converting it into experience points will be handled by the professionals themselves.
Secondly, from the moment the experience value reaches the maximum attribute and is promoted to the ninth level, the experience value of hunting low-level monsters will decrease from 50% to 10%.
That is to say,
A ninth-level professional who hunts an eighth-level monster only gains 10% of the experience points.
The reward for a tier nine professional hunting a tier seven monster will be reduced to 1%, and the same will apply to the rest of the game."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Lin Luo's face froze.
The cancellation of the function of absorbing energy resources means that the system can no longer help absorb magic crystals to save time, and one can only practice on his own.
However, this is not a big problem.
At present, with his efficiency in absorbing magic crystals, it would only take him a few months to digest 100 million low-grade magic crystals.
In the absence of a promotion bottleneck and with sufficient resources, his cultivation speed is so unreasonable!
What really made Lin Luo feel helpless was the reduced efficiency of gaining experience points from killing.
Compared to the past, the experience points gained from hunting low-level monsters have dropped sharply to one-fifth!
This is devastating news for professionals who rely on jungle (hunting Warcraft) to grow rapidly.
Apart from Lin Luo, how many other mages are able to kill ninth-level monsters when they first enter the ninth level?
Of course, there must still be such geniuses.
But as to how many there are, the number is definitely low.
You know,
In the Star-Moon Continent, to deal with a magical beast, you will need four to five mages of the same level.
If the monsters to be hunted are replaced by dragons, the number of mages required will double.
"So, the system is encouraging high-level professionals to join forces to fight the enemy?"
Lin Luo saw a different calculation from these rules.
After all, humans are social creatures. If they cannot fight the enemy alone, professionals working independently will definitely try to join forces.
In a sense, this change in the system will help enhance the sense of solidarity among high-level professionals.
"You're not stupid."
Ling confirmed Lin Luo's statement and said with a smile: "After all, the original plane and this alien world are not in the same camp. If the professionals cannot unite as one, they will be pushed back...
cough,
Anyway, this regulation is written into the system rules, which is considered to be beneficial to professionals."
“…”
Lin Luo, who was multitasking, did not dwell on this topic anymore, but focused on absorbing the power of faith.
There is no other reason,
Headache.
…
In a blink of an eye, six days passed.
Lin Luo finally saw the high priest that the orc guards had mentioned.
Just as Leonard remembered it.
This is a ninth-order creature!
The orc priest was over eight feet tall, wearing a fleece coat made from the skin of a ninth-level wasteland demon bear. He stood out among the orcs who were all wearing animal skins.
Although the priest's attire is similar to that of humans.
But his appearance makes these seem like monkeys in human clothing.
Although the orc priests have a high level of attainment in magic, they do not look much different from other orcs in appearance.
The same broad shoulders and thick waist, exaggerated muscular bulges in the limbs, and polygonal faces full of ferocious angles.
This kind of appearance is enough to stop children from crying at night in the human empire.
even,
When some mage organizations were clearing out orc warriors, their slogan was "Defeat all ugly souls and fight for the beauty of the world."
It looks silly, but it's surprisingly effective.
At least, this reason allowed the elves, who never liked to interfere in human wars, to provide some symbolic help to humans.
Lin Luo glanced at the orc priest and couldn't help but look away.
The tyrannical character seems to be imprinted in their bones, every bone seems to be born for fighting, and all kinds of characteristics have nothing to do with the word "human".
If these guys weren't targeted,
Then who are you targeting?
There are also creatures uglier than orcs, such as ancient races like goblins and goblins.
But the curse these races suffered in the ancient war between gods is even stronger.
Bad luck, weakness, reduced intelligence, vulnerability, ugliness, etc.
These curses, cast by the gods of the victorious side, are like permanent buffs that have been with them since they were born.
Some races were even completely slaughtered, leaving only a few people with mixed bloodlines who could not make much waves.
Therefore, these races naturally cannot threaten humans.
And there are human gods in the war of gods.
It was just the gods belonging to the human race who chose to become the intruders in the war of gods. Not only did they get along with both sides, they even acted as peacemakers in the war of gods.
The reason why these gods can be so free and easy is that
Lin Luo guessed that this should be related to the method of becoming an "alien god".
The power comparison between the gods of faith and "alien gods" is also completely incomparable.
Most of these believers in gods are also well aware of the strength of the human race's "alien gods", so they selectively ignore the neutral position of the human gods.
Isn't it stupid to provoke a strong enemy for no reason?
