The virtual world is a sea of knowledge.
“… Now everything is ready, tomorrow is the day to launch the plan.”
While checking the virtual world map and controlling the boat, Ash said, "If I fail to escape and get caught by the hunters, then everything will be over and things will go back to normal. But if I succeed, I must be alert all the time. I cannot enter the virtual world until I am sure I am safe."
Sonia nodded, completely understanding the viewer's thoughts.
The exploration of the virtual world can take as short as four to five hours or as long as eight to nine hours. A viewer who has a regular schedule in prison can naturally log into the virtual world on time. However, after escaping from prison, he not only has to find a way to make a living, but also has to avoid hunters as much as possible. How can he have more than four hours of safe time to enter the virtual world
She breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I thought..."
Ash raised an eyebrow, "You thought I was going to abandon you?"
Sonia frowned slightly, looking pitiful and coquettish: "Yes, I found that I can no longer leave you. When I think about not being able to see you in the next few days, I feel empty, lonely, cold, and sad. I almost want to cry... By the way, since you are not free, do I have to stop my training as well?"
"Of course not. Training will go on as usual. Although I'm not here, I will still urge you to train. By the way, you should have rested for an hour tonight, right? That's a benefit only for tonight. We will resume normal operation tomorrow."
"Then thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Sonia snorted, crossing her legs and staring at the viewer, "So when will you be back?"
"After I'm sure I'm safe." Ash said, "Didn't I see in the Fate Questions that I might be able to leave the Blood Moon Kingdom? After successfully escaping from prison, I plan to find a way to leave the Blood Moon Kingdom."
"Then there is no specific time..."
"Um."
Sonia tilted her head, looked at the wisps of white mist flying around her, and asked softly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to be a singer? Sing a song for me."
"you-"
"Haha, I'm just kidding." Ash said with a smile, "Let's not hunt for knowledge creatures tonight, let's focus on looking for magician projections."
Sonia understood immediately: "You want to find more clues about the golden fish by reading other magicians' manuals?"
Ash nodded slowly: "According to our progress, even if you hunt lore creatures and get experience orbs, it won't be enough to allow your swordsmanship to break through to the gold level."
"Even if I get a rare magic spirit, I can't integrate it into my combat system immediately, so it's better than nothing in terms of improving my combat power."
"We only have one night left. If we want to make a breakthrough, Golden Fish is our only choice."
Although they had hunted a lot of intellectual creatures these days, most of the magic spirits were either used to top up Ash's points or sold to Sonia to make some extra money, and very few were kept for their own use. The most important reason was, of course, that they were not suitable.
Even though they mastered the four factions of swordsmanship, water magic, light magic, and mind magic, when it comes to the strange and varied world of magic and spirits in the Void Realm, what they have come into contact with is not even the tip of the iceberg, but a drop in the bucket at most. It is common that the magic spirits of the factions they are proficient in are not included in the spoils of war.
Even if a magic spirit of the same faction is revealed, it is likely that it is not suitable. For example, the swordsmanship system's "vibration sword", "continuous sword", and "poison sword" represent three different directions: relying on high-frequency vibration to increase destructive power, increasing attack speed for continuous slashing, and adding special attributes to the blade.
In addition to the swordsmanship system, the 'Vibration Sword' requires the support of the Sound System, the 'Continuous Sword' must be trained in the Weak School to improve physical fitness, and the 'Poison Sword' means that the Poison System must be secondary studied.
No matter which small direction is studied, the time that the magician needs to spend is inestimable, and he may even have to get involved in other unfamiliar factions. If the magician has a superficial understanding of the magic spirit and uses it directly, the effect will definitely not be as good as the combat system that the magician has carefully studied. For example, Sonia's "wave slash" can kill the three sword magic spirits mentioned above in seconds.
So although they have obtained a lot of magic spirits, those magic spirits are not indispensable. Instead of studying these new magic spirits, it is better to make good use of their old magic spirits. New clothes are not as good as old people.
But theirs was also a happy trouble. How could an ordinary silver magician harvest two or three magic spirits every night? Not dying was considered a blessing from the virtual realm, and any harvest was directly celebrated as a festival.
It's not that they didn't update their equipment. For example, Ash had already completed the three basic sword spirits of "slashing sword", "stabbing sword" and "cutting sword". In theory, a swordsman needs to summon these three spirits personally to lay a solid foundation for the sword faction. Sonia would not ask for these three spirits, but Ash was originally an uneducated stowaway, so naturally he didn't have a foundation.
After Sonia sold her spoils, she quickly gathered the necessary magic spirits for the two miracles, "The Scabbard of Light" and "Ten Years of Sharpening the Sword", and her combat power was further enhanced.
Although they are not invincible, this couple can be said to have the capital to do whatever they want in the ocean of knowledge.
But from another perspective, this also means that the Sea of Knowledge has had a marginal effect on their help. They have gained too much in the virtual world, and it takes a lot of time to slowly absorb it.
Unless, they can reach a higher level of virtual realm.
"If I can condense the golden power, then my sword barrier can be activated at 100%, and the defense can be increased by at least five times than it is now." Ash explained the necessity of golden power to him. Unlike Sword Princess, he has the two-winged spirit 'Earth Sword' given by Valkas. After the promotion, his combat power immediately jumped.
Sonia curled her lips: "Only if we can find the golden fish. You sound like you're thinking about how to spend your prize money before you even win it."
"So if you win the jackpot, how are you going to spend it?"
"First, I bought a manor in Jialeshi, then I pretended to be seriously ill and persuaded my mother to borrow money from other relatives and villagers."
"Why?"
"That group of scoundrels who always bully my widowed mother and I will definitely not be willing to lend them money. Then I will rent a fleet of luxury cars to pick up my mother and blind those scoundrels. If anyone dares to ask my mother to borrow money, I will remind her of this and chop off the scoundrels' paws."
"Oh, you really are..."
"do you have any opinion?"
"I think you can find a good shill and ask her to lend money to your mother. When you return home in glory, you can reward that shill handsomely to thank her. Comparison hurts only when there is comparison. This way, you only need to spend a little money to make others regret their decision so much that they will bang their heads against the wall."
"Wow, you are really bad as hell."
"I'd be embarrassed if you praised me like that."
During the chat, Ash discovered a light red area on the virtual map with the label "Extremely Challenging" - this was the most dangerous area they could set foot in, and it was also the area Ash was looking for.
Ash restrained his smile and said seriously, "Although there may not be a linear relationship, the stronger the projection of the magician, the greater the possibility that he knows the information about the golden fish, so it will be a tough battle tonight."
"You won't be coming to the Void Realm after tonight anyway."
Sonia's palm glowed with white steel, and she gently rubbed the wooden sword in her hand: "I'll go crazy with you for once, and at worst I'll give you the first blood."
Miracle: Sharpening the sword for one day, launching it.
Strictly speaking, although "Ten Years of Sharpening the Sword" is a two-wing miracle, the range of adjustment is very large. Because in the time-based magic spirits, "year" is the rarest, "month" is the second, and "day" is the most common. "Ten Days" is a two-wing magic spirit, "Hundred Days" is a three-wing magic spirit, and "Thousand Days" is a four-wing magic spirit. The same order applies to "year" and "month".
Therefore, sharpening the sword for ten years can become sharpening the sword for one day/ten days/hundred days/thousand days/one month/ten months... etc. As the level of the magic spirit is adjusted, the power of this miracle will increase or decrease accordingly. The reason why it is called sharpening the sword for ten years is because "ten years" is the most cost-effective consumable.
Yes, to activate this miracle, the time magic spirit will be consumed directly and must be purchased again, so Sonia only dared to use the cheapest "day" magic spirit. It is said that the more advanced and complex the powerful miracle is, the more magic spirits are consumed. Therefore, when a legendary magician makes a move, it is a thousand pounds of gold and a river of silver. If converted into gold and silver coins, it can kill a lot of people.
But the effect of this kind of miracle is very good, proportional to the cost. Sonia's wooden sword glowed with a bright gray light, which was the "cutting color" generated by sharpening the sword. From now on, all her attacks will gain the cutting color bonus, and the sharpness will be improved, even if she encounters a weak magician, she can break the defense.
Ash pulled out a long sword from his tongue, which was the 'Sword of Sweet Mouth' that he had drawn. He then summoned a substitute and had it jump into the sea and circle around to the other side of the inheritance island.
After the preparations were completed, the two broke through the white fog and arrived at the inheritance island. At the same time, the stand-in also climbed onto the island on the other side, attracting the attention of the magician's projection.
It's now!
Ash pointed his sword, and a cute one-winged magic spirit appeared at the tip of the sword. A flash of sword light pierced the neck of the magician's projection like lightning!
Magic Spirit·Heart Sword!
Sonia kicked the boat, jumped high and drew her sword, an expectant smile crossed her lips, and she jumped into the island like an elegant dancer. The rotating evil light waves rushed towards the sorcerer's projection like a meat grinder!
Miracle: Evil Light Wave Slash!
The stand attracts attention and dies, Ash attacks from a distance, and Sonia bursts out in close combat. This is their siege tactic that is always effective!
