Chapter 1091: Chapter 377: Metal Cage
Rein quickly found the Steel Heart skill icon on the attribute panel of the Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) class and examined the changes in its description.
The new description was as follows:
Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method lv4 (1/1000), with the special effect ’Metal Control lv2’.
[Metal Control lv2 (passive) effect: Your ability to control Metal Energy Particles has slightly improved.]
…
“The first layer corresponds to lv1~lv3?”
“In that case, the second layer should correspond to lv4~lv6.”
“Also, the system description of Metal Control at lv2 has changed from ’slightly improved’ to ’slightly enhanced.’
Although Rein did not know how long it took other Second Level Liquidization Wizards within the school to practice the second layer of this Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method, it couldn’t possibly be learned within a few hours, right?
“It’s a pity, this kind of joy cannot be shared with others.” Rein shook his head and sighed.
In his delight, Rein quickly focused his attention on the thickened base in his mental sea.
“It has thickened, which is exactly why the power of the Metal Series Witchcraft has further increased.”
“I might as well try the witchcraft later to compare the power increase.”
Meanwhile, Rein also discovered that around the Conscious Sea Crystal, the volume of the silver liquid formed after the liquification of spiritual power seemed to have slightly increased, but the volume of the silver mist seemed to have slightly decreased.
Looking at the system panel, Rein couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
The spiritual power value on the attribute panel was unexpectedly the same as when he first practiced the first layer, decreased.
It clearly displayed: “Spirit: 88 (liquification 32%)”
It’s worth noting that his spiritual power was 90 points before he added points, and after adding 3 points, it should be 93 points, but now it’s only 88 points, a full 5 points less.
However, the liquification progress had increased by 2%, from 30% to 32%.
“It should still be the further tempering effect of the Advanced Meditation Method on spiritual power, eliminating impurities.”
Having the experience from last time, Rein wasn’t too surprised this time.
After thinking for a moment, Rein invested 2 skill points continuously in the lv4 Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method.
As the Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method progressed from lv4 to lv6, instantly, a wave of memories about the cultivation of the second layer of Steel Heart flooded into Rein’s mind.
In an instant, it was as if Rein had experienced decades-long arduous practice of the Meditation Method’s second layer in a mysterious space.
A few minutes later, when Rein once again outlined the model of the second layer of the Meditation Method, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the visualization process was much smoother than before, nearly three times faster!
After a little thought, although he knew he had probably reached the limit, he still wanted to try out of excitement…
As expected, a system prompt suddenly appeared:
[Point allocation failed! The current Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method has reached its limit.]
…
However, this was expected, and Rein wasn’t the least bit disappointed. After considering it for a while, he decided to report to the Sword Holder Headquarters early the next morning.
There are two reasons for this: first, the one-month deadline is already near.
Waiting until the last one or two days to go didn’t seem appropriate to Rein.
Second, considering that the exchange hall at the Sword Holder Headquarters should have many witchcraft and items available for exchange.
For instance, rare Metal Series Witchcraft.
Perhaps… he could even exchange for a Soul Energy Crystal.
Moreover, he had not yet exchanged the rewards for defeating the three leaders of the Sea God Sect at Wailing Wind Fjord, and considering the investigation report of the Nether Sea Goddess’s projection, he should receive a considerable reward.
In other words, the number of Task Evaluation Medals and Merit Points he had should be enough to exchange for one or even several Metal Series Witchcrafts.
In contrast, if he wanted to exchange for witchcraft within the school, he would have to accumulate a substantial amount of Contribution Points.
This cannot be accomplished in a short time.
Because unlike the Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method, the exchange prices for witchcraft, especially Second Level Witchcraft, in the school are all several thousand Contribution Points to start.
Relying solely on making puppet parts to accumulate enough Contribution Points would likely not be feasible even if all Metal Series jobs were assigned to Rein alone.
Most likely, he would need to participate in battles or garrison missions outside to have a chance to accumulate enough Contribution Points.
…
The next morning.
Rein, riding in the Bavarian family’s luxurious carriage, quickly arrived at the Sword Holder Headquarters garrison.
As Rein got off the carriage, he was captivated by the grandeur of the headquarters’ main entrance.
At the center of the main gate was an oval fountain, towering over it was a tall male bronze statue, more than ten meters high, leaning on a sword with both hands, with a resolute face, looking into the distance, vividly realistic.
Behind it was an exceedingly wide door, with eight guards armed with swords and shields, clad in full plate armor, standing at the entrance.
Rein’s perception clearly indicated that these guards all possessed the strength of Third Level Knight Attendants.
They were just lacking an opportunity to ascend to the Transcendent, a chance to acquire a Magic Potion.
There was no plaque, nor any textual description.
“Interesting.”
Rein nodded slightly and walked towards the gate.
“Sir, this is the Empire Swordsmen Headquarters.” A guard stepped forward and said, choosing his words with some courtesy, as he could see that Rein had come from a luxurious carriage.
Although he wasn’t familiar with the emblem of the Serpent Shield of the Bavarian family, it seemed to be the insignia of some Duke’s family.
“Yes, this is my official letter. I am here to report for duty.” Rein briefly presented his transfer letter.
The guard captain wasn’t particularly concerned initially, after all, almost every one or two days, a Magic Iron Level Sword Holder from a provincial branch would come to report at the Sword Holder Headquarters.
