Main Text Volume Chapter 190 Death Level 3
"Do you want to join us?" Angell was hoping to work with David. The two of them complemented each other and could always make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, which would make them more efficient.
David shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not interested in music boxes... Call me next time you have other alchemy plans."
David thought to himself that a music box couldn't do anything new, and he didn't believe that making a music box could be advanced. With Angell's current enchantment ability, could he still engrave the sharp magic pattern on the music box? Obviously, it's impossible.
"Okay then." Angell was a little disappointed.
A deep bell sound spread from the bell tower of the underground market.
"It's already ten o'clock in the evening, it seems I should go back." Angell stood up and said goodbye to David.
After walking out of the alchemy shop, Angel suddenly remembered something and went back to the shop: "David, do you have books on magic runes?"
"Magic runes? Do you mean magic runes for enchantment?" David was puzzled: "Don't you have them? The sharp magic runes last time were enchanted magic runes."
"Not enchanted magic runes, just ordinary magic runes." Angel said.
"Why do you want books on ordinary magic runes? Those magic runes can't be engraved on alchemical tools." David suddenly thought of something and said, "Are you going to enchant magic arrays?"
If you want to engrave magic runes with active effects on alchemical items, you can only enchant them through magic arrays. But the difficulty of magic array enchantment is not the same as that of ordinary magic rune enchantment. It is difficult to learn and master, and the effect is not as good as "blending". Basically no alchemist will get involved in this area.
"I just took it to have a look. I'm not going to enchant it with a magic array." Angell was a little interested in magic rune studies, but he hadn't thought about getting involved in this new discipline for the time being. He just wanted to try whether he could make magic rune leather scrolls with the projection of the holographic tablet.
David said with a worried look: "Angel, how long have you entered the world of mortals? It's not good for your growth to be idle like this. Alchemy, the Sky Tower, and now magic rune studies. You are only a first-level apprentice now. It's the right way to focus on your own strength. Even if you have a great talent for alchemy, if your own cultivation can't keep up, you can only make low-level and inferior alchemy props. Your own realm is the most important."
What David said made sense, and Angell actually understood it, but he couldn't tell David that he didn't want to get involved in magic rune studies, but was just testing the effectiveness of the holographic tablet.
David saw that his earnest expectations did not make Angel's face show "repentance". He put on a "hate iron but not steel" expression: "I have enchantment books here, but I don't have magic pattern learning here. Even if I have it, I won't sell it to you. I'm doing this for your own good."
David's attitude is indeed very elder-like. If someone who is not familiar with him, he may be convinced by his earnest and stern words, but Angel knows David's material very well. He put on this "senior elder" expression and tone, but in fact he is not in a mood to dissuade. The secret pleasure brought by "guiding the younger generation" is real.
Seeing David's eyes become more "loving", Angel sighed in his heart: Well, I will try my best to perform with you.
Angel put on a "learned a lot" expression.
"You're right, I'm too easily distracted. From today on, I will meditate and practice hard, and I won't do anything else."
David was secretly happy with Angel's expression, but he was stunned by his words: "In fact, you don't have to work so hard. It's okay to do some alchemy occasionally. It's a combination of work and rest."
"No, I'll meditate seriously! I'll try not to be the last one." After Angel finished speaking, he made a noble farewell and turned away.
David was left alone in the wind.
Coming out of the underground market and returning to the Apprentice Town, the dull air was replaced by a fresh breath.
It was too late today, so Angel simply went to the Apprentice Town market to buy some cooked food and quickly solved the problem of food and clothing.
After returning home, Angel went directly to the quiet room to meditate. For some reason, today's meditation was surprisingly smooth and much more efficient than before.
After the meditation, Angel thought to himself, could it be that he had already reached "mental tranquility" from "physical tranquility"?
The so-called "peace of mind" means that one can still enter the deepest level of meditation in a noisy environment. The so-called "peace in the midst of noise" refers to peace of mind.
Angel thought about it and played a piece of music called "Childhood Memories" on the holographic tablet. The author of the music label was Bandari.
The music was soothing and gentle. Angel was surprised to find that this song was no less good than "Castle in the Sky". The unknown instruments performed multiple performances, and the melodious notes seemed to really bring the listener into a carefree childhood.
Although this childhood memory was very nice, Angel did not turn on the music just to listen to the song.
While playing the music, Angel quickly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. In the melodious and gentle music, Angel found that he had indeed entered a meditative state!
Could it be that his meditation realm really reached "peace of mind"? Or was it because the song was too gentle and not exciting that it did not affect the efficiency of meditation?
Angel thought about it, simply turned off the tablet, and went to the attic.
Let Toby use the two remaining echo flowers and its sharp bird calls to make noise for him.
Toby thought that Angell was appreciating its music and played happily.
Angell endured the chaotic and sharp noise, closed his eyes and forced himself into a meditative state. When Angell came to the chaotic thinking space, he felt that the noise from the outside world was slowly separated from his own consciousness.
This is different from when he listened to "Childhood Memories". When he listened to soothing and melodious music, even if he entered into meditation, the music echoed in his ears. But Toby's noise was isolated at this time, as if there was a mysterious organ in the brain that actively distinguished between noise and music.
But even if he distinguished between noise and music, Angel could still feel the strange frequency of the noise.
In this state, Angel couldn't calm down and meditate at all.
Sure enough, he didn't reach "peace of mind". According to records, the state of "peace of mind" can only be comprehended by formal wizards. It's normal that he can't reach it.
Angel returned to the quiet room from the attic.
Although he didn't reach peace of mind, why did his meditation efficiency increase so much? Almost 1o% efficiency increase.
Angel carefully recalled what happened today, and there was nothing surprising. The only thing that might be a little strange was that he didn't suffer from Sylvia's soul attack when he fought with Saka.
But this has nothing to do with meditation efficiency?
Angel couldn't figure it out, but it wasn't a bad thing to improve the efficiency of meditation. He could only bury this doubt in his heart and find time to ask Sanders.
...
Another week passed. This afternoon, Angel fought with a poison apprentice who combined the wood and earth elements for half a day, and finally spent a precious flame arrow to end the battle.
After this battle, Angel's points finally broke through the upper limit and advanced to the thirteenth floor of the Sky Tower!
The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth floors, these last three floors, are completely different from all the previous floors. They are the most lively and darkest three floors in the Sky Tower. Almost every day, people die in the competition.
Therefore, in the mouths of many apprentices, the last three floors of the Sky Tower are also called "Death Level Three".
After Angel climbed to the thirteenth floor, he did not go to the competition immediately, but found a ring to observe the level of the players on this floor. As a player on the thirteenth floor, he would not spend money to watch the competition on any ring. This is a benefit given to the players by the Sky Tower.
The distribution of the rings in the "Death Level 3" is different from the previous twelve floors.
There are only three rings on the entire thirteenth floor. The rings are slightly larger than the rings below, but the audience seats are twice as many. Each ring can accommodate at least thousands of people watching at the same time!
Three rings are currently playing at the same time. Angel chose the ring with the most spectators and walked over.
The big screen at the top showed: "Fox Shepherd vs. Hurricane Messenger"
Angel didn't know either side of the ring, but the name "Fox Shepherd"... reminded Angel of some bad memories.
The Hurricane Messenger wore a cloak uniform with green edges and silver-white dark patterns, and a tasseled epaulette engraved with the family emblem. He was a tall middle-aged uncle with a full beard.
The Fox Shepherd's dress was full of flaws. He wore a white wizard robe and held a wooden staff engraved with a fox head in his hand. He looked handsome and indifferent, with his long silver-white hair casually scattered, looking like a hermit out of the world. Although he is young, he looks like a "peaceful person" and makes people roll their eyes and complain. Another point is that the fox shepherd kept his eyes closed during the game. Whether it was casting spells or taking various actions, he did not open his eyes. He looked like a middle school student who was trying his best to mock the whole world.
The Hurricane Messenger, as the name suggests, is a spellcaster who controls the wind element; the fox shepherd is obviously a summoner, but he has not summoned any monsters so far, but summoned the phantoms of monsters to fight the enemy.
The Hurricane Messenger is obviously not as strong as the fox shepherd. He was beaten almost one-sidedly.
The blood-eyed fox demon in the hands of the fox shepherd completely became a shadow demon. Every time it appeared, it was a white phantom. With the elegant movements of the fox shepherd, this game was more like the fox shepherd's personal show stage than a battle.
Deliberately moving with big steps, just to make the silver-white show more elegant.
Deliberately turning around to cast spells, just to show the most perfect side profile.
Of course, all of the above are Angel's own conjectures. But it must be said that the performances of the fox herder made the scene on the field more beautiful and the atmosphere outside the field more lively.
After a while, the fox herder won the final victory with a completely overwhelming attitude and overwhelming the hurricane messenger.
In this game, although the fox herder showed more himself, his strength was indeed much stronger than other players downstairs.
Even the hurricane messenger who was always suppressed was far better than others. Angel estimated his own strength and thought that if he wanted to defeat the hurricane messenger, he would probably have to use the golden arrow with magic pattern.
Even so, it would take a long time to win.
It seems that the game strategy needs to be changed.
