Chapter 938: Power System Forging Completed! Obtained the Second Ring Power Leaf!
The Three Caves World, one hundred years later.
The city-state next to the Golden Tree was holding a grand celebration. Around the bonfire, forest rangers sang and danced joyfully.
They are celebrating Geraint Nika, the great Ranger mentor.
By this time, Orion and his past had become legends. Orion became the legendary Ranger, and the city-state where the Golden Tree was located was named after him.
It was known to the world as the city-state of Orion.
Although everyone in this world is tracing their power back to Locke, they cannot recognize Locke's existence. Therefore, they can only collectively regard Orion, the legendary Ranger, as their object of worship.
At this point, the number of Rangers in this world had swelled to two million.
Rangers exist in almost every city-state of the Three Caverns, and for this world, they have a history of developing Ranger civilization for two hundred years.
It is unknown how many Leaves of Power have been generated.
At this moment, the base number of Power Leaves has exceeded one thousand and one.
Nine hundred of them are apprentice-level Power Leaves, mostly botanical spells, but some are potion-making and archaeology spells, and ninety-seven are first-level spell models.
The last four Power Leaves are four second-ring level spell models.
That's right. After a century of development, in Geraint Nika's generation, the Leaf of Power finally absorbed the talents of millions of Rangers from the Three Caverns World over the past hundred years, grew alongside them, and finally gave birth to the first Leaf of Power, the Path of Nemesis.
Because Orion had already pushed it to the edge of the second ring a hundred years ago, after a hundred years of hard work, the Way of the Nemesis: Leaf of Power has finally evolved to the second ring level.
This means that Locke's power system has been forged, and now, as long as there are enough resources, he can become a Star Ring Wizard!
At this moment, Master Geraint Nika, the greatest contributor to pushing the Path of Nemesis: Leaf of Power to the second-circle spell model, stood in the square and said, "I am honored to have ended the century-long division of the Rangers and to have united all the Rangers together."
All the forest rangers bowed to him.
"teacher."
"Teacher, you are the most powerful forest ranger in the world."
Master Geraint Nika shook his head; he was already very old.
There are two paths in this world: one is to resonate with the power of the gods and become a deity; the other is to become a ranger.
To maintain his purity, Master Geraint Nika remained a mere Ranger, but even a second-level Ranger's lifespan was not significantly different from that of a mortal.
This is a flaw left by Locke when designing the Ranger system.
However, Locke plans to complete it later when he forges a more powerful magic.
At this moment, Locke also appeared in the celebration, walking among the crowd like an ordinary forest ranger.
Master Geraint Nika raised his hand, looked at the many rangers, and smiled.
“I am not the most powerful Ranger. The most powerful Ranger is the great Orion, and before him, there was the Tree who we all called Teacher. He is the embodiment of the forest.”
"He brought us the eternal spring of the Three Caves World. It's just a pity I didn't have the chance to meet Lord Orion."
“I have been far removed from that great era for a very long time. But I am fortunate that, in my time, through my efforts, I have completed Lord Orion’s life’s work of tracing back to the source, and I have made the Path of Nemesis: Leaf of Power a second ring. And after that, for some reason, three new second-ring Leaves of Power appeared in succession.”
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
The rangers seemed excited about the four second-ring Power Leaves.
Master Geraint Nika said, “Besides that, I have accomplished many, many other things in my life. I have personally restored 17 forests. I have hunted countless Nightmares.”
Master Geraint Nika said, "But pushing the Path of Nemesis: Leaf of Power to the second ring has indeed exhausted all my efforts."
The joyful atmosphere suddenly froze.
The whole atmosphere became strangely eerie.
Both of Master Geraint Nika's disciples looked at him with concern, but at the same time looked at each other with competitive and hostile eyes.
Master Geraint Nika coughed and said, “Looking back on my life, I was born a commoner, someone who couldn’t even afford to go to school. My mother was a servant in a large family, toiling away all day long.”
"But later I met a ranger who taught me to read and the ways of the ranger for free. Unfortunately, I was too weak at the time, and to this day, I have never seen this selfless ranger again, nor do I know his identity."
Locke walked among the crowd, recalling how seventy years ago he had indeed spent half a year teaching a boy.
Master Geraint Nika stood on the platform and said, “Therefore I believe that we Rangers are so selfless, fearless, and helpful to one another. That is good. But my days are numbered, and I must now consider who the next generation of Rangers will be teachers after my death. I cannot allow my death to cause you to split apart.”
At this moment, two voices suddenly emerged from the audience.
One voice calls for Master Geraint Nika to appoint his eldest disciple as the teacher of all Rangers, to maintain Ranger traditions, and to make the Ranger organization more magnificent, since the Rangers have already established their first bridgehead in the Emerald Dream as the entrance to the battlefields they frequently enter the Emerald Dream, and a powerful kingdom is needed to manage so many affairs.
A kingdom that someone wanted to build a hundred years ago, but was unable to be built due to various reasons.
In that kingdom, rangers could form armies instead of their current loose, wandering existence, and mobilize all resources to attack the Crystal Nightmare within the Emerald Dream.
Those were the rangers' enemies.
One viewpoint calls for Master Geraint Nika to appoint his second apprentice as the teacher of all Rangers and to maintain the tradition, not a kingdom, but rather to make him the second-generation teacher of the Rangers, thus upholding the system established by Master Geraint Nika.
Two voices, like fire and water, appeared below the square, raging fiercely.
Master Geraint Nika sensed an unease.
He turned to look at the golden tree.
"Teacher Shuren, can you give me some inspiration?"
“My life is coming to an end. But I am struggling to decide who my successor should be. I fear that my choice will lead to the downfall of our two-hundred-year-old Ranger civilization. Who should I choose as my successor?”
Master Geraint Nika was deeply perplexed. He was nearing eighty and had exhausted his energy, making him somewhat frail, but he still reverently bowed to the golden tree, hoping that Locke could give him some enlightenment.
Locke, walking among these rangers, didn't seem to care.
First, the energy of the timeline is almost exhausted.
The wonders of the world obtained from hell are almost used up.
However, he also gained a great deal. By using the time of the Three Cave Worlds over two hundred years, he increased the number of his Power Leaves to one thousand and one. Furthermore, he could use this Power Leaves system to rewrite general botanical magic, archaeological magic, and potion magic.
While it can currently only be used to transcrib botanical magic, describing spell models using the Leaf of Power is a bit too difficult for archaeological and potion-making magic.
Of course, this is just a description of the spell models of the three systems in my own words.
Such a description might even reduce the power of the same spell model.
To truly construct a spell model, one still needs to use the basic magical scripts of the various schools of thought.
At this point, Locke had already achieved his basic goals in this world.
He looked at the four second-ring Power Leaves in his hand, one of which was the Path of Nemesis - Power Leave.
The other three are the second-circle spell models for the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow, namely the Great Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow Spell. After using this spell model, the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow will be able to precisely manipulate the magical wind, making each wisp of magical wind form a small air vortex cushion. These miniature air vortices will form a magical wind like the light of spring, and the wind is extremely warm and gentle. Therefore, Locke named it the Great Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow Spell.
Once this spell model is used, he and the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow can fly out at a speed that was originally impossible, and their instantaneous speed has been accelerated due to the countless miniature magical vortexes.
Its mobility is so incredible that it can obey orders and stop instantly while flying in the air. Because of its graceful shape, the name "Dragon Sparrow" comes from this.
It means that one can fly gracefully in the air like a dragon bird.
Using the Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow Spell, the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow's flight ability was finally developed to its limit, and the magic pressure conversion flight speed could be increased from 11.2 to the equivalent of 11.7 by this spell model.
This level of directly increasing the value by 0.5 is an excellent feature of the [Great Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow Spell] developed by Locke, and it is also very suitable for the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow.
If the [Great Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow Spell] were modified and used on other magical plants similar to the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow, it would probably be difficult to increase the magic pressure conversion flight rate by 0.5.
The average performance of general-purpose flying botanical magic only increases the magical pressure conversion rate of flying plants by about 0.3, and 0.4 is already very excellent. The second one is a subspecies spell model of the Peach Blossom Thorn Arrow spell - [Spring Thunder Arrow].
This is a magic that Locke synthesized from various arrow-type magics from the previous first stage. It is a variant of the Peach Blossom Thorn Arrow, which can summon the life force inside the magical plant while shooting. Through the burgeoning of spring magic, combined with the original transformative power of the Peach Blossom Thorn Arrow, it transforms into spring thunder.
This spring thunder magic is particularly complex, which means that Locke's Tree of Prosperity has reached a very complex level, the result of being forged to the extreme.
The third Leaf of Power is the second-circle spell model [Spear of Spring]!
This is a special spell model that uses the golden magic of sea gold sand to enhance the magic of spring, and uses the burgeoning magic of spring to enhance the golden magic of sea gold sand. After adding the magic of spring, the second-ring sea gold sand can be brought to an incredible level.
At the same time, his own Great Tree of Prosperity can enhance this spell model.
Locke held three Power Leaves, models of second-circle spells, and his forging of the Tree of Prosperity had reached an incredible level. He looked up at the golden tree, and behind it, the Tree of Prosperity seemed poised to sprout Summer Fruit at any moment.
Locke sensed that a decision had been reached. Master Geraint Nika was asking him who to choose as his successor, which was essentially asking him who to choose as his successor in this world.
Locke looked up at the principles of the Book of Gods that had transformed into stars in the sky. As long as he used those principles, he could capture the changes in civilization and push spring into summer.
"Based on my previous deductions for this experiment, I will advance this society to the kingdom stage, which represents the realization of civilization's potential and the beginning of rapid civilizational growth. At that time, I will condense the Summer Fruit, followed by the Spring Fruit, and then deduce the Fruits of all four seasons. I might even rapidly enter the lunar cycle through this process."
Locke looked at the faintly appearing star ring beneath his feet.
“Then I’ll let Geraint Nika choose his first apprentice as his successor. But… why am I so uneasy right now? Is it because my supernatural intuition is being interfered with by the wizards of the Black Sun Tower who are too close? According to my deduction, there should be a wizard from the Black Sun Tower who is particularly close.”
In the city-state of Orion, Master Geraint Nika continued to pray to the 'Tree Teacher' for guidance so that he could make a decision.
Locke closed his eyes, pondering where the problem lay. Now, all he had to do was take that final step, and the experiment would be a success. Having sacrificed one of his world's most wondrous artifacts and expended two hundred years of his painstaking effort, he could finally complete the final step.
Locke continued his deductions, and no matter how he deduced them, he found that as long as he took this last step, he would almost have one foot in the Star Ring, and becoming a Star Ring Wizard would be his destiny.
Locke opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
"The theoretical derivation is correct."
"The mathematical formula is also fine. I repeatedly verified it using different calculation methods, and they all yielded the same result: as long as I adopt this method, I will immediately have the certainty of becoming a Star Ring Wizard."
Locke stood with his hands behind his back, pondering, "After spring comes summer."
For some reason, Locke remembered that a hundred years ago, in order to vent his anger, he had unnecessarily killed that giant fodder corn nightmare more than fifty times.
He laughed suddenly.
Master Geraint Nika began to kowtow, but no matter how much he pleaded with the Golden Tree, the Golden Tree made no response.
Two of his students, each with a pained expression, helped him up from either side.
"teacher……"
"teacher……"
Master Geraint Nika looked up at the golden tree.
"These two apprentices represent one moving forward and the other maintaining the status quo, but why hasn't Master Tree Man made any statement? Does it mean that even I, who has fulfilled the two-hundred-year-old wish of the Forest Rangers, am not qualified to ask Master Tree Man for a response?"
His two apprentices looked at Master Geraint Nika with pity.
Master Geraint Nika sighed.
"Do not panic, your teacher is right in front of you, but where is my teacher?"
"Why? How am I supposed to make a choice?"
At this moment, Locke stood under the golden tree with his hands behind his back. He saw an unknown student next to Geraint Nika and suddenly asked, "Everyone else wants to stand at the front during the celebration, why are you standing at the very back?"
The student was young. He glanced at Locke with curiosity, suspecting that Locke was some senior forest ranger.
“Everyone else is standing in front because they want to see the view from the very front. But I’m standing behind them because I want to see the view that includes all of them. Teacher, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before. You must be a powerful forest ranger who often enters the Emerald Dream.”
“Teacher, I am an orphan, and everyone here is my family, so I want to stand at the back and look at them.”
“I feel like they are all my family. I am very happy to be with them.”
Locke suddenly became curious and asked, "So what did you see?"
The student said, "I saw that the golden tree was huge, and it seemed like we all looked the same when we stood under it."
Locke chuckled and asked, "Lenny, are they all the same?"
Lennie was alarmed that Locke knew the name of an unknown man like him.
"Yes... I was being stupid, teacher. They are all different. But when I looked closer, I felt like I was seeing things. Everyone is unique. How could they all look the same standing under the tree?"
Locke glanced at Lennie.
"No, I looked closely, and they really are all the same. You have a good eye."
Lennie looked at Locke in surprise.
Locke was silent for a moment. If he had met Lennie eighty years earlier, he might have chosen him back then.
However, it's no longer needed.
Locke turned to look at the Golden Tree, because even before stopping at the step of condensing the Summer Fruit, his Power Leaf had already been pushed to the second ring.
In other words, even without condensing the Summer Fruit, he has already met the conditions for advancing to the Star Ring level.
Next, all we need to do is acquire enough resources.
Then you can try your luck breaking through the star ring.
Currently, his magic pressure is 19999, meaning the Tree of Prosperity should have four separate Great Magic Runes. At this moment, he directly added Great Magic Runes to [Spring Thunder Arrow], [Spring Return Spear], and [Great Spring Breeze Dragon Sparrow Spell], thus enhancing their spell power! Of course, there is still one missing Great Magic Rune, which Locke added to it using the Peach Blossom Spell he found in the Golden Crown Mountain Library.
The first two spells are offensive spells, which make up for his lack of direct attack ability. The third spell is a flight and movement spell, while the Peach Blossom Spell is actually a defensive spell. He can choose a two-ring peach tree or any tree-like magical plant to summon countless peach blossoms to protect himself.
Because peach blossoms inherently possess a protective power.
Of course, this spell requires a peach tree-type magical plant to work, but the Ancient Tree of Life is the king of all trees. Its leaves and flowers can be transformed into the leaves and flowers of other tree-type magical plants, so you can also use the Tree of Prosperity to use the Peach Blossom Spell.
Peach blossoms themselves possess the imagery of protection and eternity, representing another form of golden magic. The Peach Blossom Spell also involves some ancient and primitive magic.
In short, it is extremely primitive magic.
Locke's six major magic runes of the Moon of Evolution include the Peach Blossom Arrow from the Dark Side of the Moon, the historical reenactment from the Legendary History Book, and the others: Fireworks, Moon Goddess's Blessing, Generational Change, and Flowers Blooming and Falling.
These are all geared towards support, but if you play the generational shift well, you might be able to stack up an exaggerated amount of magic pressure.
Since becoming a second-circle wizard, I have rarely encountered a situation where I am forced into a corner. Even in the abyss back then, although it was dangerous, my situation was not particularly dangerous at the time because of the relationship between the other party and the 'Red Dragon Duke'.
Therefore, I rarely use generational switching.
The generational transition itself puts a lot of pressure on the magical plants.
At this moment, Locke, who possessed ten spell models infused with powerful magic runes, had forged his ultimate magic to a certain level. Locke glanced at Master Geraint Nika, who was repeatedly seeking his advice, and then left.
Since you have doubts, let's stop here for now and go for the special grant.
There are only five days left until the special-grade independent defense. I have expended too much energy in this world. Even if I rest, I need to take special magic potions to recover. Therefore, I really shouldn't take the next step.
Locke's figure disappeared from the city-state of Orion. He arrived at the location of the original underworld in the Three Caves World, where he had cultivated the Great Grass Corn for a hundred years.
Because the Time Monument can only accelerate medium-sized worlds, and the magical tide concentration gradient of medium-sized worlds is too low, even though Locke used the Life Breath, it still took him eighty years to complete the development of the Great Grass Corn, and then another twenty years to complete the ancestral evolution of the Great Grass Corn.
Locke looked at the large, spring-blooming corn stalk in front of him. "Although it's too late to include the results of this experiment in my application, the data can be collected and used during the defense. This data is indeed very interesting."
"Two hundred years in a medium-sized world doesn't feel as good as the ten years or so I spent in the Wizarding World."
"Is this the difference between worlds? The difference between time and the quality of time? It seems that for a second-circle wizard, the quantity of time is not very important. The quality of time is also important! Everyone has 72 hours in a day, but maybe someone else's time is a high-quality 72 hours."
