Chapter 338 Successful Advancement, Etc., There Is Still the Second Half (10,000 Rewards Plus 1 Update)

Chapter 338 Successful advancement - wait, there is still the second half (10,000 rewards plus 1 update)

Archmage Carlisle returned with satisfaction from Gretel's answer. ——The teacher’s right to know has a higher priority than those who are grabbing power; if the teacher nods and is willing to support him behind the scenes, he can also get more compensation when negotiating terms.

Besides, we are going to send little Gretel out for training soon. We need to decide on a training location so that we can choose some suitable equipment for him, right?

At the top of the Babel Tower, the Lord of Thunder was indeed quite satisfied with Gretel's answer. He then urged his disciples:

"Have you chosen your adventure mission?"

"I picked a few, they are all suitable for level 3~5 magicians." Archmage Carlisle took out his notebook with experience:

"Considering that there is a high-level barbarian warrior beside him, I found some high-level and low-level tasks. For example, a zombie appeared in the abandoned church on Ram Island, and adventurers were asked to eliminate it;"

"Those guys from the Lord of Glory didn't clean up their tail when they ran away." The Lord of Thunder commented with a sneer:

"Three years have passed since their own church, and corpse monsters still appear. However, the island is too small and the church level is too low, so there won't be any good things. The little guy's combat power is well planned and can be used in a one-on-one fight. There is no need to give him such a simple task if he is level 4 or 5."

"Yes." You also know the details of a low-level mission. Sure enough, you have checked it in advance... Archmage Carlisle turned the page with a curse:

"The mines in Jinclai Mountain..."

"The mine is too uncontrollable." As soon as he started, the Lord of Thunder shook his head and interrupted:

"If you're not lucky, you may fall into the underground world. Next one."

"Yes. A water monster appeared in Lake Luoshi, affecting waterway transportation. The Emergency Management Department sent an action team, including a fourth-level mage and two knights, but returned without success."

"Lake Luoxi..." The Lord of Thunder frowned: "That little girl who Grete helped out with? Can you let him concentrate on it? There are no other tasks?"

This... you are too picky... Archmage Carlisle flipped through two more pages before settling on a task that satisfied the Lord of Thunder:

Enter the Spey Forest in the north, collect a batch of designated herbs, and eliminate the monsters.

This mission includes exploration, combat, and long-distance travel. It can be difficult or easy, and can be advanced or retreated, making it easy to monitor and provide timely support at any time. Even if the little guy misses, he can be picked up in time to avoid irreparable damage.

Archmage Carlisle took the task list and returned to the Mage Tower again, preparing to check the list of requirements with Gretel. However, he received news that made him a little happy and a little depressed:

Grete, retreat and advance.

...So my checking of this information will not be in vain, right?

"Uh... then, teacher, will you come back tomorrow?" Aurora weakly discussed with her instructor:

"Anyway, advanced meditation doesn't take too long. Generally speaking, one day and one night is enough..."

Archmage Carlisle floated away silently and went to the judging meeting to help Gretel negotiate terms.

The public health agency was initially forced to do so by the review committee, but now it cannot be too stingy when it comes to kicking people out. The wool comes from the sheep, they just need to uphold justice, and they talked about everything in one day.

Archmage Carlisle and the other party roughly agreed on the amount of compensation, and then came to Gretel's mage tower again with a list of supplies.

Before the disciple could speak, he knew what had happened as soon as he looked at his face:

"Little Gretel hasn't finished meditating yet?"

"Uh, it seems so..."

"Is there nothing wrong? Is the magic fluctuation in the meditation room still normal?"

"I can't feel it, but MOSS said everything is normal."

"Has he eaten?"

"I don't know. The invisible servant always brings food in, but never out..."

"You... ugh! You don't care about anything. The person you follow is good or bad, and you don't know?"

Aurora puffed out her cheeks. He was not convinced and did not dare to argue with the teacher. He could only show his aggrieved face to the teacher:

He doesn’t know either!

His own advanced meditation has always taken half a day to a day. Even when he upgraded from level 4 to level 5, it didn't take more than two days!

He was never around when Gretel advanced. How did he know there was anything different about Gretel?

"...Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow..."

the next day.

The door to the meditation room is not open.

The third day.

The meditation room is still not open.

The fourth day.

"Teacher, what's the matter with you coming here all the time? Is there anything we can do to help?" Aurora began to care about her tutor:

"If possible, can we help you run errands first so that you don't have to wait all the time?"

"...You can't help." Archmage Carlisle scolded his disciple with a dark face:

"The above message is to let little Grete go out for a walk and experience it - without taking you with me. I want to have a chat with him, give him some instructions on going on adventures, and check what equipment is needed."

"What? You are not allowed to take me?!" Aurora jumped up: "What about his safety? He is only level three! He is only level four after being upgraded! He has to find hotels everywhere to stay. If there is no hotel, he has to live in the wilderness. In the wild, he won’t even be released from the mage’s hut!”

"...That's why I'm not allowed to take you! If I take you, is that still called training?!"

"Then...ask Brother Lin to lend him the cat?"

"roll!!!"

It's not that Grete wanted to stay in the meditation room, but he was meditating in his own mage tower. It felt really good.

——Safe, quiet, stable and abundant magic elements, and more importantly, free of charge!

The primary meditation room in Babel Tower is for level 1 to level 4 magicians, and it costs 100 contribution points per day!

"MOSS, can I rent out this meditation room for money?"

"It can be rented out, but I don't recommend it, Master." MOSS said in an indifferent voice:

"The space in the meditation room is limited. Magicians practice daily in a dedicated meditation room for a long time, which is conducive to rapid advancement. Unless the operation situation of the magician tower is particularly difficult, otherwise, it is not recommended to rent it out."

"Well……"

Gretel felt this deeply. Since he had his own mage tower, he moved his meditation to the tower every morning and evening, and the accumulation of mental power and elemental power was indeed much faster.

If this were not the case, it would not have been possible for him to reach the threshold of leveling up again less than half a year after his last advancement.

Now, the advanced preparatory work has been completed:

The skeleton and muscles of the humanoid figure of light at the core of meditation have been constructed as early as the first two advancements.

During the period of becoming a third-level mage, the arteries and veins are also constructed by mental power, with the heart as the center, opening up a dense network and connecting each other;

At the moment of advancement, thump, thump, in the void, the heart contracts and relaxes powerfully!

Left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle, tricuspid valve, mitral valve...

Everyone performs their duties in an orderly manner, the rhythm is undisturbed, and the degree of relaxation and contraction is just right. Completely, a textbook standard heart.

"It's a pity that there is no blood in it..."

Gretel sighed silently.

Shaping the blood vessel walls layer by layer according to the nature and level of the blood vessels had exhausted all his mental energy. The artery wall is divided into four layers, and the vein wall is divided into three layers, plus the valves inside. From thick to thin, connected to each other, plus the capillaries at the end...

Internal red blood cells, white blood cells, various cells?

Sorry, he hasn't figured out how to deal with things on the micro level yet. I tried it twice and found that the ideas I came up with were all inexplicable little things, so I had to give up...

There is no blood in it. The heart is beating in vain and the blood vessels are contracting and relaxing. What exactly is it doing? No physical performance?

Apart from him, there is no other audience!

Grete groaned secretly. However, the next moment, the inexplicable feedback that would inevitably occur when advancing came across the sky.

"This is--!"

Starting from the heart, or to be more precise, starting from the left atrium, a vital force suddenly exploded. Fluid, full, slightly sticky, and exuding a little light——

Fills the left atrium, is injected into the aorta, rushes through the blood vessels, reaches the end of the body, and is recycled bit by bit by the capillaries into the veins...

That's blood?

Is it what this world has given me, something that replaces blood in my spiritual core?

Something that echoes my own blood?

"Ah ah ah wait a minute!" Gretel hurriedly adjusted his meditation method:

"Blood is not like this! Reshape it for me! Red blood cells! White blood cells! Platelets! Water, various soluble substances, blood sugar, hormones, enzymes! Albumin, fibrinogen, globulin!"

He desperately recalled various descriptions of blood in textbooks, trying to "command" these liquids to react. The feedback that landed in the dark, together with the steady supply of magic elements in the meditation room, was sucked into the depths of the spiritual core like a whale sucking water.

As for whether it is shaped as required...

Grete said, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. Anyway, even if I have a microscope, I can't take a drop of blood from my spiritual core and look at it...

The human body's blood is about 5,000 milliliters, and Grete doesn't know whether he is being shaped ml by ml, or drop by drop. Anyway, just work hard and absorb it until you can't breathe it in anymore. I guess this advancement is over, right?

With magical elements supplying his body's needs, he doesn't feel hungry or thirsty. What's more, when I occasionally opened my eyes during meditation, what was on the plate was either fried fish or cheese, chips or soup, and I had no desire to eat.

Grete closed his eyes and concentrated, day and night, until the fluctuations in the feedback in the void stopped. He opened his eyes and stood up, raising his hand——

Oops, I was in a hurry this time and didn’t bring the oak staff with me!

"Gretel! Gretel, you're done, right?" Aurora's shout came through the stone wall. The meditation room is well soundproofed. This effect is obviously because MOSS judged that he had successfully advanced and enabled voice transmission:

"I saw your oak staff! Four! Four leaves! Come out when you're done! I'll see you if I need anything~~~"

Gretel smiled slightly and moved forward. He raised his feet, retracted them, and sat down on the meditation cushion:

"Wait a minute, I have to advance to another level..."

"What?! We still have to wait!!!"
