Underground secret room.

Mediana took the bottle and drank it.

He drank half the bottle in one breath before stopping: "I was lucky this time. I soon met the legendary wizard Naya and told her about your situation."

"Another good thing is that Naya just resigned from the position of the Guardian Grand Mage of the Nahuat Republic. She has a lot of time on her hands, so she not only asked me to bring this spell book to you, but also specially made a magic weapon for you."

Mediana pointed at a strange fist-sized magical weapon in Rosen's hand.

"This is called the Rewind Ring. When you enter the eleventh ring but fail to condense the Heart of Legend, it weakens your soul and allows you to return to the tenth ring, thus avoiding the misfortune of your soul disintegrating."

Rosen had a great understanding of the knowledge of the soul. After careful observation, he understood the principle of the magic weapon and felt that the design of this magic weapon was extremely ingenious, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

He exclaimed: "This is really good stuff."

This is simply a regret medicine for spiritual practice.

He was also very curious about this distant country called the Republic.

Because the word "republic" only appears after society has developed to a certain level.

"Ms. Naya, as a legendary wizard, is she only the country's guardian wizard?"

He had been in this aristocratic world for a long time, and his thinking had been subtly influenced. He subconsciously believed that this legendary wizard should be the absolute ruler of the country and should be more superior than the emperor.

Of course, Mediana understood what Rosen meant.

She smiled and said, "I was also very confused at first, but now I completely understand it. I think that the system of the Nahuat Republic should be the best way for mortals like us to fight against the invasion of gods and demons."

Without waiting for Rosen to ask, she explained in detail.

"In the Republic of Nahuat, the legendary power of a legendary wizard does not come from his own practice, but from the support of the people."

"This kind of support is similar to 'faith', but it is not exactly the same as faith. It is not faith in a specific god, but a concept of 'protection'."

"Being the Guardian of the Archmage is a glorious position that carries a sacred halo."

"In other words, if you serve as the Guardian Archmage, you will be able to gain the people's faith and support, thereby gaining the power to break through the eleven magic rings."

"But once you step down, the people's faith will leave you and fall on the new guardian wizard."

Rosen understood: "In other words, the resigned Naya does not have the power of legend?"

"Yes, she is now only at the peak of the Tenth Ring. The new guardian mage is named Sassmar, who is also a talented Tenth Ring mage."

After a pause, Mediana added: "In Nahuat, the term of office of the Guardian Archmage is 10 to 20 years, and at most 20 years must be replaced."

"It's not that Naya didn't do a good job, but because the soul and body of a mortal cannot bear the pressure of legendary power for a long time. After a long time, you must rest, otherwise you will face the danger of soul collapse."

Rosen was surprised: "After the promotion, it is only a temporary breakthrough, not forever?"

"Of course not forever."

Medina shrugged. "Even low-level mages will decline if they don't practice for a long time or grow old, let alone the legendary level?"

"The legendary realm is like a bird flying into the sky. Of course it flies, but the energy consumption is also huge, so it can't fly forever. When the time is up, between falling to death and landing on its own, you have to choose an ending, right?"

It was a very vivid metaphor. Rosen nodded to show his understanding and became more interested in the situation in the Republic of Nahuat.

"Medi~Please introduce Nawat a little more."

Mediana had been drinking and was in a talkative mood. When Rosen asked her, she naturally told him everything she knew.

"The Republic of Nahuat is a true country of magic. I have traveled to various planes and seen countless mortal kingdoms, but I have never seen a country that has as many super high-level mages as the Republic of Nahuat."

"Because there are so many super high-ring mages, the qualification to become a member of the High-ring Council, which holds the highest power in the country, is ten rings of magic power."

“Currently, there are 102 members of parliament.”

Rosen was shocked when he heard this and guessed, "Nawat should have fully disclosed the principles of magic practice and implemented the most extensive magic education, right?"

"That's right. Every child will start to receive enlightenment from the age of six. Once they show outstanding magical talent, they will immediately receive attention and be trained with emphasis."

"The Republic has 1.6 billion citizens, more than the Natural Alliance, the Glorious Nations, and the Holy Elf Empire combined. As a result, it possesses magical powers that would make even gods and demons tremble."

Not to mention gods and demons, even Rosen felt it was a bit scary, but at the same time he was also wondering: "What force promoted the emergence of such a behemoth?"

With 1.6 billion citizens, it is not enough to form a country on earth. Even their thoughts are unified, so that the condensed power of faith can push mortals to become legends.

But the strange thing is that its achievements in exploring the world are not very high, at least not so high that it makes people despair, so it feels a bit inconsistent.

Just like a lot of pseudo science fiction on Earth, they use the technology of interstellar travel but end up using their fists and feet to fight.

"There are many reasons, the biggest one being external pressure."

Mediana held the bottle of wine, a look of horror on her face: "Do you know that the plane where Nawat is located is being targeted by three great demons at the same time?"

"It would be bad enough for any plane to be targeted by a big demon, but there are three of them, and each one is extremely cruel. In just twenty years, half of the plane has fallen into absolute darkness."

"At the critical moment, a ten-ring wizard named 'Feidmont' appeared."

"He traveled around the nations, contacted powerful people from various countries, formed a high-level council, and formed the Nahuat Empire, the predecessor of the Nahuat Republic. Only then did he withstand the first wave of invasion by the great demons."

"But we still lost more than we won. In the constant battles, in order to unify the power of the entire mortal world, the empire gradually turned into a republic and created a national system that gave birth to legendary wizards. This stabilized the situation and not only withstood the pressure of the invasion of the three demons, but was even able to fight back in some local areas."

Rosen listened quietly, and from Mediana's words, he clearly felt the courage and wisdom of countless mortals in fighting against fate.

He couldn't help but sigh: "As a mortal man, he fights against gods and demons. Fedmont is truly a role model for mages like me."

"Who says it's not?"

Mediana said: "Therefore, the guardian wizards of the Republic of Nahuat also call themselves "disciples of Fedmont", intending to inherit the will of Master Fedmont and completely expel the gods and demons that invaded the plane."

Rosen asked: "In your opinion, do you think it can succeed?"

Mediana shook her head, confusion showing on her face: "I don't know."

"Mortals like us have both devil and god in our hearts. Master Fedmont has awakened the god, while the demons continue to induce the devil. No one knows who will win until the last moment."

"But I still favor the Nahuatl because they have successfully resisted for 800 years without being defeated, and have even grown stronger."

"Of course, I also sincerely hope that Nawat will win."

The fact that this succubus could say such words was enough to show how broad and profound her knowledge was. Rosen even felt that the word "succubus" was really an insult to her.

He smiled and said, "I hope so."

Then, he opened the spell book that Mediana brought back and found that the original text on the pages was in a completely unfamiliar language, but at the beginning, a mental spell was handwritten in the common language of the Natural Alliance.

The handwriting is elegant and delicate, yet contains a sense of grandeur and a faint scent of ink. From it, one can vaguely feel that the writer is a refined, elegant, rigorous and powerful wizard.

"This Naya is also a remarkable woman," Rosen secretly sighed.

The mental spell is called "Eye of True Vision" and its function is similar to that of a real-time translation software, which can translate the common language of the other plane into the reader's native language.

The spell is not difficult. There is a similar spell in the Natural Alliance, called "Eye of the Mind", and the principles of the two are similar.

Rosen mastered it after a little study, and then understood the contents of the spell book.

The first sentence on the page is.

'Notice!'

'The legendary road is an extremely dangerous road in cultivation. Every mage has his own legendary road. All suggestions from others can only be used as references rather than guidance.'

Rosen was slightly shocked by what he saw, and he immediately looked down.

"Young wizard from another dimension, as a pioneer, I cannot teach you how to achieve the legendary path. All I can do is describe the various characteristics of the eleven magic rings to you."

'As for how to deal with it, no one can help you, you can only rely on yourself.'

After reading these sentences, he looked up at Mediana: "It's not quite what I imagined."

Mediana, who had apparently read the contents of the spell book as well, shrugged.

"The road to legend is like this. There are many high-level council members in the Nahuat Empire, and they have very rich practical experience, but in the end, there are only nine people who are capable of serving as the Guardian Archmage."

“It is like a fish leaping onto the land and not dying, or like a wild animal running on the ground and flying up into the sky.”

"It is precisely because it is so difficult that it deserves to be called a legend."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

If the first ten Dharma rings are compared to the surface of a life planet, then the eleventh Dharma ring is entering outer space.

For mortal life, it is indeed an essential improvement and a huge adventure.

He began to flip through the contents of the spell book.

The book has about fifty pages, which describe the characteristics of the Eleven Dharma Rings in great detail, but it is mostly from the first-person perspective of Master Naya, and many places are filled with idealistic descriptions.

This is normal, because magical power comes from the cultivation of the soul, and the cultivation of the soul is idealistic.

Precisely because of idealism, it is difficult to promote on a large scale.

Rosen read very quickly, just skimming through it the first time while entering the information into Lai Fu's database. Then he closed his eyes and, with the help of Lai Fu's data analysis skills, began to read it carefully for the second and third times.

The content of the book was extremely valuable and provided Rosen with great help. Combined with the data obtained from various experiments in the medical laboratory, Rosen came up with a feasible method for promotion.

"My advancement cannot rely on faith, because the power of faith I have currently obtained is too weak, far from enough for me to gain a foothold in the eleventh ring."

The belief base of Mother Nature is less than 500 million people, and their belief is the most primitive and weakest. Compared with the lofty belief of the Republic of Nahuat in protecting the plane, there is a huge gap in both quantity and quality.

'So, I must use the Soul Burning Technique to draw power directly from the eleven rings to maintain the stable existence of the soul.'

The law of faith is to pull an oxygen tube from the bottom of the atmosphere to outer space.

The Soul Burning Method creates a 'spiritual water pump' in the soul to 'pump' the thin power of the eleven magic rings into the soul.

The existence of the 'pump' solves the problems of 'spiritual energy return' and 'power replenishment' at the same time.

The operation of the 'Spirit Pump' requires power, so one must burn the soul to obtain this power.

As long as the amount of spiritual power burned is lower than the amount pumped in by the 'water pump', the soul can exist stably in the eleven magic rings.

However, how can one make the soul burn in a controllable manner instead of burning into a big fireball? How can one create a precisely structured "spiritual pump"? How can one ensure that the operation of the spiritual pump does not harm the main structure of the soul while maintaining high efficiency? Finally, how can one make it perfectly compatible with the biological brain of a mortal so as not to burn the brain?

There are so many things, and each one is extremely tedious and extremely precise.

Just thinking about it, you will know that this is definitely many times more difficult than low-level practice.

Even if he succeeded in the end, he would definitely use most of his brain power to keep the "water pump" running, and he would not be able to do anything else.

The main reason why Rosen dared to do this was because he owned Laifu.

A mortal's brain is incapable of such delicate work, so there's no problem. Just train Lai Fu to do it. Once Lai Fu has mastered the skill, assign some of the computing power to him to maintain the spiritual power pump.

While he was thinking, he heard Mediana's voice: "Grand Duke, where is my reward?"

Rosen was naturally well prepared. He took out more than fifty soul diamonds that had been synthesized in advance and had flaws, each as big as a fist.

"Here~ for you."

"Haha~~ What a rich harvest! Wait for me to rest for a few days, and I will set off to the next plane right away to find high-level knowledge for you."

Rosen smiled and said, "No problem. I am particularly interested in the transformation of cheap energy into expensive energy. Pay attention to this aspect of knowledge."

"Okay, do you have any more wine?"

Rosen pointed to the small door of the secret room and said, "Behind the door is a wine cellar, which stores various famous wines. You can drink as you like."

He pointed to another small door and said, "That door leads to the ground. You can go out for a walk and experience the city scenery at any time."

"At least in Veran, you are free."

"Take this money and spend it as you wish in Weilan Capital and Dawn City."

He took out a suitcase and opened it, revealing 1 million klee notes, which looked like a lot, but was actually equivalent to more than 600 gold ogres.

But then again, in the capital of Weilan, the purchasing power of one million banknotes is still quite good. As long as you don't use it to buy large items or gamble, and just use it to maintain your daily needs, you can live a carefree life for a long time.

"Not bad~ Really good~~"

Mediana was very satisfied with Rosen's arrangement.

After arranging this succubus, Rosen was not in a hurry to leave: "Master Naya has helped me a lot. How can I repay her?"

Mediana smiled slightly: "I knew the Duke would say that."

She took out a thumb-sized soul gem from the package and handed it to Rosen: "This is the plane beacon of the plane where the Nahuat Empire is located. If you have time, go there yourself."

"After hearing your story, Master Naya became very interested in you."

"She believes that you can raise your magic power to the peak of the tenth ring in a short period of time. Your magic talent is unprecedented. Of course, I think the same thing."

"It just so happens that she has stepped down from her duties as the guardian of the Archmage. She has a lot of free time now, so she wanted to exchange her experience in cultivation with you."

Rosen understood, and of course he was very willing to exchange experiences with such a powerful wizard. It could even be said to be an honor.

"After the magic exchange conference, I will go to the Nawat Empire."

Then, without wasting a moment, he immediately returned to his magic laboratory.

The existence of the demons outside the ring caused him considerable mental pressure.

I used to think that the peak of the Ten Rings was the pinnacle of personal practice, so I was relatively lax in my practice. Now that I have pressure, I have the motivation to move forward.

During this period, he really put all his energy into research.

He thought he would not be able to accumulate enough knowledge so quickly, but Lafengge gave him a big gift, which saved him at least several years of research time.

Now that everything is ready, with the life-saving magic weapon like the Backtracking Ring, it is time to try to break through the eleventh ring.
