Leonard's promotion
Elena deeply felt the capitalists' urgency to start work.
So she asked Leopold, "Can I shorten my study time a little bit? I need to finish the orders for the pharmacy."
Leopold ruthlessly rejected her: "If you finish your studies quickly, won't you be able to complete the orders freely?"
It's not his business, why is he so anxious?
The one who should be anxious is Leonard. If he doesn't take other orders to work, these orders will not be a problem at all.
Therefore, there is no problem in waiting for Leonard to come back and then rush the work.
Leopold thought cruelly.
Elena was speechless. Facing Leopold's ruthlessness and cruelty, a feeling of frustration instantly hit her heart, but after the frustration came a strong sense of self-anger.
Why did she want to become a disciple and learn from him?
Why did she need a class teacher to supervise herself?
Wouldn't it be better for her to just be a lord who has no ambition and is obsessed with gold coins?
At this moment, Elena even had the idea of turning against Leopold and fighting.
But she quickly calmed down.
She couldn't beat Leopold yet.
In the face of absolute strength, she endured it.
Damn it, why can’t I win by spending money?
How to play games without paying real money?
Elena cried out in her heart once again.
The discussion was fruitless, so Elena could only concentrate on making the potion for a whole day. When her magic power was exhausted and it was dark, she finished her dinner dejectedly and returned to the bedroom dejectedly. She lay on the soft big bed and enjoyed her decadent life with an empty mind.
At this moment, she just wanted to be a salted fish.
Thousands of miles away, in the sea of fog, Rhodes Island.
In the quiet forest, except for a few places illuminated by the moonlight, most places are shrouded in darkness.
In the pitch-black shadows, a figure gradually emerged. The figure suddenly moved and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
As the black blood spit out, a knight in silver armor emerged.
Leonard clenched his back teeth, enduring the increasingly violent magical fluctuations that kept surging within his body. Parts of the skin on his face and neck even cracked, and scales grew on them, but the cracked skin soon closed again, pressing down the scales.
He was poisoned, a very troublesome poison that would turn him into a monster.
However, this poison unexpectedly mobilized the original power in his core, slightly loosening his magic bottleneck.
This is a danger, but also an opportunity.
He must find a safe place to advance as soon as possible. If he seizes this opportunity, he may be able to reach the level of demigod.
Leonard took out a scroll from his space ring and tore it apart with force.
The surrounding space immediately distorted briefly, and then Leonard disappeared.
Silently, a black hole in space appeared above Elena's head.
Elena, who was lying on the bed like a lazy fish, suddenly opened her empty and unfocused green eyes, and rolled off the bed with a neat roll.
Boom, a big thing fell from the black hole and hit the place where Elena had just been lying.
Damn, luckily she had her eyes open just now, luckily she reacted quickly.
Elena felt a little scared.
Then she set up a protective shield, and then more than a dozen ice spikes appeared out of thin air and stabbed the suspicious object on the bed.
"It's me."
The ice spike was blocked by a flash of sword light.
Only then did Elena see the object on the bed clearly. It turned out to be Leonard.
"Wow, why do you look so disheveled? Did you fail the mission?" Elena looked at Leonard in surprise and curiosity. His messy hair, dry and chapped lips, blood on his neck, and the burnt and scratched armor all proved that he was in such a mess and injured.
Leonard coughed softly: "Not yet, the mission hasn't failed yet."
At this time, Elena also felt the abnormal magic fluctuations on Leonard's body: "What's wrong with you? Why is the magic fluctuation on your body so wrong?"
Leonard suddenly grabbed Elena and pulled her in front of him, staring at her with his eyes.
When she got closer, Elena realized that his eyes were red, and even the breath he exhaled was scorching hot: "Are you injured and have a fever?"
"I need your help." Leonard said almost at the same time.
Elena:???
She struggled tentatively, but Leonard's grip was too tight and she couldn't break free.
"How do you want me to help you? Let me make it clear first, I may not be able to help you, and you can't force me." Elena was afraid that a pot of bloody nonsense about being poisoned by an aphrodisiac would be poured on her head.
Leonard's eyes were already a little out of focus, and his hands were still shaking. He tried hard to focus his gaze on Elena's face and said solemnly, "I'm going to be promoted. Please help me mix the potion, arrange the ritual, and help me defend the surroundings while I'm promoted."
??? So he was getting promoted, not some kind of...
Wait, he's getting promoted!
Elena reacted quickly and hurriedly pushed the bed away, and moved all the tables, chairs and coffee tables that were in the way, making as much space as possible in the bedroom.
"You're going to be promoted, you're going to be promoted," Elena muttered to herself as she moved furniture. "You're a Golden Knight, and if you want to upgrade, you'll be an Epic Knight. What are the potions for Epic Knight promotion? Idiot, windflower, unicorn saliva. Oops, I don't have any of those."
"I have it." Leonard struggled to take something out of his space ring.
Elena trotted over to count the items, and followed the prompts of the game system in her mind, checking them one by one: "Very good, everything is complete. Then comes the ceremony. What items are needed for the epic knight's promotion ceremony?" Elena's eyes were fixed on the floating panel that only she could see.
Leonard continued to take things out of his space ring: "I'm ready."
"That's great." Elena felt relieved and immediately picked up the potion materials to start making the promotion potion.
At this critical moment when Leonard was about to be promoted, Elena's ability seemed to be stimulated. She took out the crucible hidden in the cabinet, and without even using any measuring tools, she poured the materials into the crucible one by one, and the amount was surprisingly precise.
Then use fire magic to cook and simmer it.
When the potion was ready, Elena stuffed it into Leonard's hand, turned around and drew the isolation circle and the promotion circle, and then one magical item after another was accurately placed at the key nodes.
Leonard looked at her.
"alright."
After Elena said yes, Leonard immediately raised his head and drank the potion in one gulp, then stood in the center of the magic circle and chanted a profound spell.
When the level reaches a certain level, the promotion process will produce different visions. Different people will have different visions. I don’t know what kind of visions will be produced in the promotion process of other knights, but after Leonard recited the spell, Elena saw a sky full of stars.
It is very beautiful, just like watching the dazzling game background in a game cabin, so beautiful that it seems unreal and breathtaking.
It is worthy of the title of "Four Fields Meteor".
Even the visions of promotion are stars.
Elena sighed secretly.
So gorgeous.
Ten minutes later, the stars in the sky merged into a ball of light and merged into Leonard's core.
The promotion was complete, and Leonard became an Epic Knight.
When he opened his eyes, a cluster of stars appeared in the center of his eyes.
Elena was deeply shocked and attracted by this gorgeous special effect.
So damn gorgeous.
After a few seconds, the star cluster disappeared and Leonard's eyes returned to their normal blue color.
Elena was actually a little disappointed.
Leonard, who successfully got promoted, felt that his condition was better than ever before. His whole body was filled with abundant strength and the poisoning state disappeared.
Leonard saw Elena lost in thought and snapped his fingers handsomely: "Come back to your senses, are you stunned by my handsomeness?"
Elena was even more disappointed: "You'd look better as a silent model."
Although he didn't understand what a model stand meant, Leonard knew that Elena was refuting him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I not handsome?"
Seeing Elena about to speak, fearing she might say something unpleasant, Leonard added, "Think carefully, I'm a demigod now."
Elena tutted softly: "Okay, handsome, very handsome."
"What do you mean by exploded?" Leonard didn't like the word. "Where did I explode?"
Elena deeply felt the generation gap. She took a deep breath and explained, "Blast means too handsome, too handsome, so handsome that my blood is boiling and I'm about to explode."
Fortunately, she didn’t say A exploded just now, otherwise she would have to explain what A meant.
Leonard was pleased to hear this: "Not bad, you have good vision."
Elena didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so she quickly changed the subject: "Shouldn't you be in the Sea of Mist? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Speaking of business, Leonard also became serious: "I hit a magic bottleneck during the battle and needed a safe environment to advance, so I teleported back."
Elena frowned, a little confused: "How did you teleport to me? When did you set the positioning point? Where was it?" She didn't even notice it at all.
Leonard smiled and said mysteriously, "Secret."
Elena frowned and snorted.
Leonard said: "This is my secret. I can't tell you. Everyone has to keep a secret. Otherwise, they will die quickly."
Elena pouted, but didn't say anything.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. See you next time." Leonard waved his hand.
"Hey, wait." Elena said quickly.
"Anything else?" Leonard asked.
Elena couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Where is your positioning point? Is it in my bedroom or on my body?"
She had seen how Leopold set the location using a small black seed that took root and grew into a plant that looked just like the surrounding grass and trees.
But what is Leonard's positioning?
Leonard smiled and blinked: "Guess."
After saying that, he tore off another scroll, the black hole in space reappeared, and he left.
Elena frowned. If she had to guess, she would definitely guess that he had set the positioning point on her. Otherwise, how could he teleport so accurately?
But how did he set it up?
Elena carefully checked the items on her body and even checked her body.
Didn't find anything that shouldn't be there.
What exactly did he use?
When Leonard returned to Rhodes Island, he was no longer the same person he used to be. Instead, he became a demigod who had "entered the realm of God."
If low-level wizards are the threshold to truly enter the magical world, distinguishing wizards from ordinary people, then demigods are the threshold to truly begin to touch the laws of the world, distinguishing gods from humans.
How big is the difference between God and man?
Leonard couldn't explain it clearly, but he could recite the scriptures, and there were quite a few descriptions of this in the scriptures.
But Leonard felt that these descriptions were still too abstract. What he felt now was the concrete reality.
The most obvious truth is that in his eyes, everything has light.
Although it was late at night and pitch black everywhere, in his eyes, all living things had their own "light", a red light of varying shades, but all of which could clearly illuminate the outlines of objects.
It’s amazing, is this the light of life?
Leonard even let his mind wander, thinking about what is said in the Bible, "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." Could there be a meaning behind it, referring to this?
If Elena were here and knew Leonard's thoughts, she would tell him with certainty: This is thermal imaging.
Leonard slowly surveyed his surroundings. As the angle changed, he could see the surrounding living things more clearly, whether it was a tree, a bird, or a blade of grass on the ground.
When Leonard got used to this special vision, he could even guess what those "lightless darkness" were, whether they were stones or dead tree stumps.
Interesting, very interesting. It turns out that in the eyes of a demigod, the world is like this. It turns out that enemies below his level have nowhere to hide. This is not an exaggerated deterrent, but a clear fact.
It turns out that I was too bold, too confident, and too presumptuous before.
He actually dared to try to seize the initiative from Cardinal Aubrey of the Church of the Night's Tranquility.
He deserved it. Aubrey should have spotted him long ago.
Leonard pressed his chest and sighed that he was so lucky. Not only did he not die, but his magic bottleneck was touched, which led to his promotion. And he had Elena as a backup, so he safely went through the promotion process.
Sure enough, the God of Destiny favors me.
Leonard's mouth curled up, and he turned himself into a shadow, blending into the darkness.
