A few days passed.
At this time, the sky was already approaching dusk, and the red sunset reflected in the forest. The merchant group was stationed in an open forest.
Under this red light, in a carriage in the business group, Rhodes, who had been in a state of deep meditation, slowly opened his eyes.
As the mana was exhausted, Rhodes' connection with the surrounding magical elements disappeared instantly, and Rhodes could only end this deep meditation.
Compared with shallow meditation, deep meditation takes longer. A deep meditation often lasts for several days, and a deep meditation by a formal master can even last several weeks.
Generally speaking, with the same amount of mana, the longer the deep meditation takes and the longer it takes to establish contact with the magical elements, the better the effect of this deep meditation will be.
During the process of deep meditation, due to focusing on thinking, one's own metabolism is reduced to a minimum, so even if one does not eat for several days, the burden on the body is not great.
Listening to the noise coming from outside the carriage, Rhodes looked at the system log.
… …
"Maintain deep meditation..."
"Through the deepening of the connection with the fire magic element, your primary fire magic has been improved..."
"Maintain deep meditation..."
"Your mental attributes have been improved."
"Maintain deep meditation..."
“…”
"The mana is not enough to maintain deep meditation..."
"Meditation is over."
"Through this deep meditation, you have gained Spirit +2, and the progress of primary fire magic has been 4%."
"You have obtained the racing achievement [Heart of Calm]"
"[Heart of Calm]: Perform a deep meditation. The basic reward is Spirit +2. The meditation effect is increased by 20% when worn."
… …
After closing the system log, Rhodes learned what he had learned from this deep meditation.
First of all, after this deep meditation, Rhodes' mental attributes, including the additional bonuses brought by the racing achievements, increased by a total of 4 points.
Through his past life experience, Rhodes knew that when a spellcaster first began to meditate deeply, his mental attributes would experience a rapid improvement period.
This is equivalent to stimulating the improvement of one's own spirit through deep meditation. Even a mage apprentice with poor qualifications can improve his spirit by 5 to 10 points through deep meditation.
In addition, through this deep meditation, Rhodes also achieved an achievement.
Obtaining the achievement was as expected by Rhodes. After wearing the newly obtained achievement, the improved meditation effect is stronger than Rhodes' original beginner title, which is an improvement for Rhodes.
In addition, due to the deep meditation that relies on the element of fire magic, Rhodes gained 4% of the progress of primary fire magic. But this 4% progress is almost useless. As long as it is less than 100%, it still cannot be improved.
Rhodes only needs to spend 1 skill point to upgrade the basic fire magic to the intermediate level. If you want to improve completely through your own efforts, I'm afraid it will take several months of deep meditation to achieve it.
Even for special skills, what Rhodes learned through the system was more about how to use them. As for how to improve through training, Rhodes can only figure out his own solution.
Rhodes recalled that when his level was not high, he would quickly upgrade his character level and obtain skill points to improve special skills. Only when the experience points required to upgrade to a level in the later stage were too much, would he improve his special skills through his own training. Skill.
The improvement of special skills is extremely time-consuming, and the same is true for ordinary skills.
Although Rhodes can improve his strength through his own efforts and polishing his combat skills over and over again like the natives in the game, but the benefits of doing so are too low and require a lot of time, which is far inferior to relying on experience points to improve. Came quickly.
After checking his harvest, Rhodes looked around.
Beside, the vampire was still absorbing the energy released by the Soul Crystal, and Rhodes ignored it. Pushing open the side door next to the carriage, Rhodes stepped out of the carriage and observed the surrounding environment.
The first thing that caught Rhode's attention was the towering watchtower on the side. Under the setting sun, the surface of the watchtower was shining with red light.
Not far from the carriage where Rhodes was, the business group was gathered around a bonfire, talking loudly while waiting for hot, fresh food.
Rhodes looked carefully and saw that whether it was due to rotation or other reasons, the thief who was originally responsible for monitoring Rhodes' every move in front of the carriage was now holding a weapon and cutting up the hunted animals by the campfire.
Even the leader of the merchant group, User, was surrounding the campfire, rubbing his hands and waiting to get the food.
It was just dusk at this time and it was not yet night. The business group could still move forward while the light was sufficient, but the business group obviously did not intend to continue moving forward today, but was stationed here.
Perhaps knowing that his status as a necromancer was not friendly to other members of the business group, Rhodes ignored the others around him and instead focused on the watchtower he saw. Rhodes walked straight to the watchtower not far away.
Although the original thieves had left, the business group obviously did not relax their vigilance towards Rhodes. At this time, there was still a professional sitting in front of the carriage that Rhodes was riding in. It was the scout who reported the situation to User earlier.
Although the scouts knew that there was a necromancer as a passenger of the business group, they had not seen him in the past few days. The scout was stunned for a moment when he saw Rhodes stepping off the carriage.
Seeing Rhodes walking toward the watchtower, the scouts stopped following him and prepared to report to the merchant leader.
Rhodes came to the bottom of the watchtower. Looking at the red watchtower, Rhodes reached out and touched the surface of the watchtower.
The skin of the watchtower shows a red color, not because of the light, but because of a special layer of paint that can effectively prevent wind and sun from corroding the skin. The red glow of the setting sun reflects on the surface of the watchtower, making the red color even more beautiful.
Rhodes entered from the entrance at the bottom of the watchtower. The internal light was acceptable. There was a spot on every other floor for the light to shine in. Rhodes could clearly see the steps under his feet and followed a spiral staircase toward the tower. Climb to the top
In Rhode's impression, in order to save construction resources, a common watchtower is just to erect the wood in a stable form and then use a rope to climb up the ladder, similar to the current watchtower. , Rhodes didn’t see much.
Not long after, Rhodes reached the top of the tower through the top stairs. The top of the tower is a spacious platform surrounded by simple wooden guardrails to prevent it from falling due to mistakes.
