Suppressing the desire to fight in his heart, Benjamin began to test the defensive ability of the water polo again.
He let the water ball turn into blisters and wrap around him. Then, he tried to punch it first.
Damn, it hurts!
Benjamin felt as if he had been hit by a layer of bulletproof glass. The blisters didn't move at all, let alone broke, and there wasn't even a slight tremor or deformation on the face. He felt that it was simply a bubble made of bulletproof glass.
Thinking of the battle between the Paladins and the elderly mage in the outer city that day, Benjamin felt that even if his blisters were not as powerful as the water barrier, they should be able to block an attack from the Blessing Sword.
Judging from the offensive and defensive properties of water polo, he can already defeat a complete Paladin without spending much effort.
The crystallization of water element brought a huge improvement to his strength.
He was a little reluctant to part with it just now, but now, he just feels that it is worth it!
Not only the magical strength, but also the affinity of the elements have also improved a lot under the influence of the triangular character. Look at the water ball next to it that is going to be used to condense new characters. It absorbs water elements much faster.
It looks like I'll be able to learn new magic in a few days.
It was a double happiness, and Benjamin was even more satisfied.
Really, if he could be given a few more water element crystals, he could soar into the sky. He also meditated for a while. Anyway, there would be no bottlenecks in his cultivation method.
But this kind of thing can only be dreamed about.
According to the two mages, elemental crystals are rare. It's not like the spiritual stones in those cultivation novels, which have mineral veins that can be dug out. It appears with no pattern, so finding it is down to luck.
Therefore, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to get another one in a short time.
Just practice with peace of mind.
The road ahead will have to be walked one step at a time.
In this way, after a leap in strength, Benjamin also started today's magic homework and calmed down to meditate.
It must be said that after the triangle characters were greatly strengthened, Benjamin's ability to mobilize water elements improved, and his meditation efficiency became much faster. Now he injects water elements into the triangular characters in one hour, almost twice as much as before.
If this continues, won't he get faster the more he meditates
Isn’t this cultivation method too heaven-defying
However, this question was answered after he meditated for an afternoon.
Through this afternoon's observation, he discovered that although the efficiency of meditation has become faster, the "eating capacity" of the triangular characters has also become larger. To make the triangular character stronger, the water element required is more than twice as much as before. Therefore, on balance, his speed of becoming stronger has not become faster, but has gradually slowed down.
Sure enough, there is no such a heaven-defying cultivation method.
The dream of soaring into the sky was completely shattered.
He estimated that when his level reaches a certain level, the demand for triangular characters will become very large, and the efficiency of meditation will become very high. Water element crystals are meaningless to him. Maybe one crystal is not worth the amount of meditation he can do for an hour.
He knew that it was definitely not that good. If someone gets a bunch of elemental crystals and opens up a space of consciousness, wouldn't he become the best in the world overnight
This kind of balance is definitely difficult to break.
A drop of water penetrates a stone, and a long stream of water flows. This is the true meaning.
… Let me go, he has really become a parallel import. After taking the path of water magic, even the complaints in my mind became more and more "watery".
He couldn't help but think so.
In this way, Benjamin's two-point and one-line life officially began.
The church didn't give him any trouble, and Michelle didn't give him any trouble either. He goes to military training every morning and meditates at home the rest of the time. The plan to ask Jeremy to excavate Anne's relics has also begun. Between some normal orders, he will include a task for Jeremy to investigate Michelle's stronghold and find the "third tree in the old place."
I just searched two places and found no "third tree", but Benjamin was not in a hurry. The bishop gave him the locations of eight strongholds, so it was better for Jeremy to find them slowly.
The progress of military training is also good, and Benjamin feels that his physical fitness has improved a lot. Dean also taught them many practical fighting skills, many of which were specially used with pistols. Dean called them "gun body skills".
As part of practicing gun skills, Dean also began to allow them to touch guns - toy guns. Benjamin estimated that it wouldn't be long before Dean would let them start real shooting training.
He is not interested in shooting training. Anyway, he has a shooting interface and does not need to practice. But after he started shooting training, he could take the opportunity to steal some bullets and use them back, which was very convenient. As long as he didn't steal much, Dean probably wouldn't notice.
There was no way, he only had sixteen blessed bullets in total now, and he was really reluctant to let him use them.
Regarding the enchantment part of "Introduction to Magic", he found time to read it, but there was no environment for him to practice. Enchanting must have real objects, but he is afraid of being sensed by the "Cleaner", and he cannot practice it in the real world, and he cannot bring real objects into his consciousness space. Therefore, enchantment can only be put on hold for the time being.
He didn't try to find out how to open the treasure house. Obedience was a terrible thing, and if he obeyed one of Michelle's orders, he would begin to obey the next. Anyway, he planned to drag it out with Michelle. As long as the curse didn't happen for a day, he would pretend it didn't happen.
If the curse occurs... then struggle with pain for a while, and then continue to pretend that it didn't happen.
Isn't it just to see who has a stronger will? Anyway, he is determined to be the nail in the door!
He would never be at Michelle's mercy.
Benjamin felt that in a few days, Michelle would lose her temper and come to negotiate with him again, interrupting his peaceful life of two points and one line. As for how to deal with it, Benjamin didn't think about it. He would try to deal with it as he saw it.
However, to his surprise, it was Jeremy who broke the calm.
Something happened first on Jeremy's side.
"Master Benjamin, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened to Jeremy. He disappeared after he went out to do errands for you yesterday. We haven't seen anyone else all day long. If you have any instructions, please tell me first. Bar."
At noon that day, Benjamin returned to the room after lunch and was about to start meditating. The housekeeper knocked on the door, came in, and said this to Benjamin.
Benjamin was stunned at the time.
He suddenly remembered that the last instruction he gave Jeremy a day ago was to go to the third Michelle's former stronghold to look for the "third tree". If there is any, dig it out from under the tree and bring it to Benjamin.
Why is it missing
The location of this third stronghold is in the outer city area. It is neither a deserted place like the prison ruins nor a notoriously chaotic place, so it should be relatively safe. Not to mention, it was still daytime when he sent Jeremy out.
It seems... something special happened.
Thinking like this, several worse possibilities flashed through Benjamin's mind one by one.
It could be that Jeremy met Michelle there and was caught by Michelle; it could also be that he met a mage or other bad guy like last time and was killed; of course there is another possibility: He dug up Anne's belongings, but was discovered by people from the church and was arrested and brainwashed.
If it's the third possibility...
Benjamin shuddered.
"Okay, I understand. You can go do your own thing first. I have nothing to do here." He immediately made a decision and ordered the housekeeper.
The butler nodded and left.
And Benjamin is about to start preparing to go out.
No matter what the possibility was, he had to go to the outer city this time. Jeremy was his valet and disappeared because he was doing something for him. It was impossible for him to hear the news and pretend that nothing happened and just stay at home and meditate.
If something really happened to Jeremy, he must save him, otherwise his conscience would be uneasy for the rest of his life.
Even if he was really arrested by the church.
With a somewhat heavy heart, Benjamin went out and set off towards the outer city again.
