In the past few days, apart from continuing to search for clues about the demons, Rob had also taken the time to upgrade No.2 in all aspects.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, the Archmage Walker had a faint premonition that the portion of mana he had lost to save Bevinadet had almost been replenished after half a year. So recently, he finally touched the threshold again.
Unlike the previous advancement that attracted worldwide attention, this time, Rob was very low-key. On the night that the battle in the courtyard ended, Archmage went through his usual daily meditation. When he opened his eyes again, he had entered the ranks of a sixth-grade quasi-magus.
The future supreme magus, Your Honor, sensed the familiar magic waves around him and realized that he had finally returned to his peak state. He could not help but sigh.
Level-6 was a watershed for all classes. The difference in power between Level-5 spells and Level-6 spells wasn't as simple as a single rank. It was just like the difference between a Level-8 Forbidden Spell and a true Forbidden Spell. Punishment Paladins were only immune to most spells below Level-5, but they wouldn't dare to take on high-level spells head-on. If he were still at Level-6, the battle last night wouldn't have been so difficult. Be it George or the adult Erinya, they wouldn't have been able to hurt him, let alone force him to use the Fairy Coin.
But now that Bevinadet had woken up, his previous efforts had finally paid off. With this bird by his side, he would no longer have to worry about the problem of magic power endurance. Compared to before entering the underground city, Luo Bu was undoubtedly stronger. But now that he had returned to the sixth grade, the No.2 in his hand was a little lacking.
Now, Rob had two choices. One was to use Isabelle's staff, or to upgrade No.2.
In fact, in his current situation, the walnut staff was quite compatible with him. Compared to the oak staff, the walnut staff could withstand a higher output of power, and the power of spells could be increased by twenty to thirty percent. The drawback of mana consumption wasn't a problem for Luo Bu, who had Bevinadet.
But in the end, the quasi-magus Your Honor chose the latter. The reason was simple. Compared to Isabelle's walnut staff, Rob's No.2 was lighter. As a future supreme magus, Your Honor adhered to the principle of carrying as little as possible, so he decided to upgrade No.2.
But he did not waste Isabelle's equipment. He dismantled everything that could be dismantled. First, Rob replaced No.2's magic crystal. The original magic crystal was bought from a roadside stall for 20 gold coins. It could not withstand spells above the fifth-grade. In comparison, the magic crystal at the top of the female magus' staff was much more high-end. The fist-sized blue crystal was worth at least five or six thousand gold coins on the market.
Other than that, there were 23 magic arrays on the staff, but these were not very useful against magi. Rob spent the whole afternoon in the attic laboratory to complete the upgrade. After the upgrade, the upper limit of No.2's spells increased from the fifth-grade to the eighth-grade. Its performance was also greatly improved. Rob added a few more magic arrays on the staff. Now, there were 14 magic arrays on No.2, which was more than most standard staffs on the market. At least, the future supreme magus Your Honor had a weapon that would not hold him back.
This enhanced version of No.2 was enough for him to use until the day he collected all the materials needed to make a new staff.
"What do I need to do?" Luo Luo, who was sitting across the table, said nervously. She still couldn't believe that she had become a third grade magician in one go. The girl's understanding of the Philosopher's Stone was relatively limited. Luo Luo had only become a magician for a short period of time, so she didn't have a rich reserve of knowledge like some old magicians, not to mention a monster like Luo Bu who had a library in his head. The girl only had a very vague understanding of this legendary magical item.
In fact, most magi had never seen the Philosopher's Stone with their own eyes. Most of their knowledge about the Philosopher's Stone came from hearsay. Lolo once heard a saying that the reason why the Philosopher's Stone was so rare and difficult to make was because the material used to make the Philosopher's Stone contained an extremely rare thing — the soul of a ninth-grade supreme magus.
This also made Lolo inexplicably vigilant towards the black stone in front of her. She did not know if she would have to pay an additional price if she wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to become stronger.
"Ha, that saying is pure nonsense. The Philosopher's Stone is a product of Roland's era. At that time, there was no ninth-grade supreme magus in the human race. The most powerful Roland was only a fourth-grade magus according to today's power system." Rob shrugged his shoulders. "If you want to prepare for it, you probably need to find a time when you have free time in the morning and afternoon, eat breakfast, and then relax. Actually, there are no special conditions to use the Philosopher's Stone. However, you need to first learn how to control the elements in your body. The Philosopher's Stone can only bestow you with the magic power of a third-grade magus, but it cannot make you a true third-grade magus. "
"En, to be precise, you only have the magic power of a third-grade magus, but you can't even cast a single spell. You still need to learn how to chant and cast spells on your own. However, you don't have to worry about this too much. You can slowly make up for it in the future. Right now, your top priority is to ensure that you can control the sudden increase in magic power, so that you don't lose control of the elements or even the magic power goes berserk."
"What should I do?" The girl's eyes widened.
"Thieves' fingers are very nimble because they have received training in this area. Similarly, elemental control can also be improved through training. However, this kind of training is done through meditation. It's a pity that I'm not a magus, so I can't tell you the specific training method."
"Coincidentally, I happen to know a set of methods that can train elemental control." Hearing this, Lolo's small face revealed a hint of pride. "I didn't think that there would actually be something in this world that I know that you don't. Do you still remember that set of notes I told you about? In it is a set of Richard's Meditation Technique that is specially used to train elemental control."
"Oh, is that so? Then congratulations." The future Supreme Magister Your Honor was not surprised. He was the one who wrote that set of notes. The only reason he said that was to make himself seem less suspicious. "From now on, use the Richard's Meditation Technique to train. In about three months, you will be able to use this Philosopher's Stone."
Lolo nodded. After a moment of hesitation, she said softly, "Thank you."
"En?" The quasi-magus Your Honor raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand where the girl's gratitude came from.
"You're right. What happened before was my fault. I shouldn't have hidden this mission from you. Since we are companions, we should trust each other. If I had told you beforehand, with your insight, you would definitely have noticed that the small courtyard was a trap."
"No, you hid it from me because deep in your heart, you knew that I would definitely stop you." Rob's gaze seemed to be able to easily see through all the secrets hidden in her heart.
