Chapter 130: Ripening? Death-prompting!
As expected.

After reaching the second level, the experience provided by wheat becomes much less.

Such a large wheat field only allowed Rhodes to level up and gain more than a hundred experience points.

If it was at the first level, it would have been upgraded to the third or fourth level.

But the good news is.

Although he had less experience, he still had some, which made him feel completely relieved.

He lowered his head and looked at the new magic he had just mastered, with a thoughtful look on his face.

According to past experience, although the professional magic of a gardener like me looks simple and unpretentious, it always has some unexpected effects.

Especially this magic called "ripening", which did not simply accelerate production like the previous two, seemed to be more complicated and instantly piqued his interest.

"I'm good at ripening things!"

Rhodes looked confident. He had seen chickens that had been out of the cage for half a month before. They tasted delicious, but he would have diarrhea after eating them.

After taking a quick look around, he immediately ran to the plantation and started looking for chickens... no, seeds for research.

"Lord Rhodes, have you learned any new magic?"

At this time, Augla and the others came over with curious looks on their faces.

Rhode's advancement just now caused quite a stir, especially Alpha and Erin who came later, they were both shocked.

But what made them strange was.

Augla, who is usually carefree and courageous, was now cowering behind them, looking very cautious.

"What are you doing?" Yilin asked in confusion.

"No, nothing. I'm just afraid of getting too close and stepping on the flowers and plants inside."

Augula smiled awkwardly, couldn't help but look inside the plantation, and took a step back.

He knew what would happen after Rhodes advanced.

After all, last time, he was a guinea pig and was made into a mess by the strange vines.

I won't be the first to speak out this time, to avoid embarrassing myself in front of these guys.
"Well, Lord Rhodes, I have something else to do, so I'll go now."

Having said that, Augula quickly turned around and ran away.

"Look at you, you're such a coward. I won't look for you this time."

Rhodes glanced at him and went straight into the plantation.

After walking around, I found an oak seed and a flame mushroom.

"Okay, let's try it on you first!"

After saying that, he went to the open space outside.

Under the puzzled gaze of Alpha and Irene, the oak seed was planted in the ground.

Then he raised his hand and began to try to construct a magic circle to accelerate the ripening process.

have to say.

The complexity of second-level magic is much higher than that of first-level magic.

Although the professional magic was directly imprinted in his soul and he could learn it immediately, he still felt a little difficult to construct it for the first time.

After a lot of effort, he finally became familiar with the route of the magic power, and a magic halo appeared in front of him.

"So big?"

Rhodes was startled.

He discovered that the aperture of the second-level magic was twice as large as that of the first-level, almost covering the area with a diameter of two meters in front of him.

If this continues, wouldn't a fifth or sixth level magic be able to cover dozens or hundreds of meters with one aperture?
very good!

very handsome!
This is the effect you want!

As a wizard, your strength may not be strong, but your special effects must not be bad. Otherwise, you will naturally lose momentum during a fight. How can this be acceptable?
He still understands the principle of losing the battle rather than the battle.

hum-

While thinking.

The ripening magic has taken shape.

A rich life energy floated out from the magic circle and merged into the pile of earth in front of it.

next second.

Drastic changes occurred.

"Boom!!"

The land exploded, and an oak tree grew rapidly at an extremely terrifying speed, and in a blink of an eye it grew into a tree several dozen meters high.

The lush branches and leaves spread out, and acorns quickly took shape, as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.

"This……"

"So fast!"

Alpha and Irene were shocked. It was the first time they saw such a strange scene.

Even Augla and the little creatures not far away were attracted by the noise and ran over.

As soon as he ran under the tree, there was a loud rustling sound above his head, and acorns fell like rain.

"Yeah!"

"quack!"

"roar~"

The little things screamed in fear, were hit so hard that they covered their heads and ran outside quickly.

Big Bear and Little Stone, who were slower to react, were buried under the hill of acorns. They screamed and struggled desperately, looking like they were drowning. The scene was as funny as it could be.

But right away.

The oak tree is exhausted.

The newly grown leaves quickly withered, and the branches also weathered away, until only acorns were left on the ground.

"Lord Rhodes, did you come up with this?"

Augula opened his mouth in shock.

It only took less than half a minute for a seed to grow into a big tree and bear fruits. This was not something that ordinary magic could do.

Even Rhodes himself was stunned by this exaggerated effect.

You're telling me this is premature ripening?

It's almost like asking for death!

He thought this new magic would be of the same type as cultivation, but he found out that he was totally wrong.

If we say that cultivation is relatively gentle, it accelerates the growth of the plants without harming them, but the speed is relatively slow.

Then ripening by force is really hastening death, consuming the life of the seeds, making them grow to maturity in an instant, and then wither quickly.

It’s just off the mark!
What made Rhode even more upset was...

Just that one ripening operation drained almost half of his magic power, consuming more than all other magic combined, forcing him to give up the idea of ​​continuing to ripen the mushrooms. "Okay, let's pull them up first."

Looking at the little guys still struggling in the acorn pile, Rhodes finally couldn't help laughing.

He thought to himself that this new magic was not completely useless. At least it could produce a large number of seeds in an instant. He no longer had to spend two days cultivating cabbages and collecting seeds as before.

When all the little ones were pulled up, Augla and the others also gathered around, each of them was extremely surprised.

"Is this the magic that Lord Rhodes comprehended after his advancement?"

"It's the first time I've seen seeds mature in an instant."

"Can this effect be used on summoning magic?"

In the nature-based summoning magic, many of them have a delay, and it takes time for the summoned creatures to grow, so they are very limited in battle.

But if it could be matched with such a growth rate, the effect might be different.

and this.

This is exactly what Rhodes wants to do next.

After all, both cultivation and harvest can be effective for natural magic, so there is no reason why ripening magic cannot be effective too.

"I'll try, you guys stay away."

After a brief recovery, Rhodes came to the open space again and began to make preparations.

When the little ones saw this, they immediately ran behind Augla and shouted, or hid behind a big rock in the distance, sticking out their little heads to watch secretly.

hum-

The brilliance of magic reappeared.

As soon as Rhodes raised his hand, a magic array was quickly constructed in his hand, and the magic power in his body was continuously injected into it.

When it was about to take shape, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the thorn guard magic instantly flew out of his hand, and the two magical powers merged into one.

Fusion Summon!

Uh, that's not right.

Magic superposition!

Boom——

Mud splashes.

A giant vine that two people could hug shot up into the sky. It grew rapidly under the shocked gaze of everyone and in the blink of an eye it reached a height of several dozen meters.

This is not over yet.

While casting the spell, Rhodes suddenly had an idea, and the giant vines twisted into a huge fist, smashing towards the black soil outside with astonishing power.

"boom!!"

The entire ground shook violently.

A huge deep pit was created where the fist landed, and even the rocks were crushed into pieces, which made Rhodes' heart skip a beat.

Because the power of this punch has far exceeded the level of ordinary second-level, it is definitely qualified as a means of explosiveness.

After the attack, the fist transformed from the vines ran out of vitality and gradually dissipated into the air.

Good guy.

A punch is a punch.

There is no need to persist for a while.

"About between the second and third levels."

At the side, Alpha's analytical voice came with a hint of surprise.

You have to know that Rhodes has just advanced, but he has already exerted power close to the third-level magic. Even those of them with higher life bloodlines can't imagine it.

Is this really something a gardener can do?
"It's okay, just so-so." Rhodes clapped his hands.

"..."

You call this sloppy?

Then they might as well just run into each other and die.

Seeing that Rhodes was getting stronger and stronger, Augla and the others suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

If they continue like this, their chances of making meritorious contributions will become fewer and fewer, so they have to quickly upgrade to level six!
Think of this.

They were no longer in the mood to watch the show, so they took their leave and rushed to various places to work hard to improve their strength.

As for Rhodes, he went outside to check the deep pit and was very satisfied with the new magic after this advancement.

In his opinion, there is a big difference between ripening and cultivation.

The magic of ripening completely consumes lifespan, concentrates all energy and explodes it, and then causes immediate impotence.

Cultivation is different. As long as there is magic infusion, the plants will continue to grow.

Although it is not as abnormal as premature ripening, it will not overdraw too much of the lifespan and can be used for protracted battles.

"Now, Black Moon should be fine."

After reaching the second level, Rhodes' self-protection ability was greatly improved, and his tense mood gradually relaxed.

Seeing that there was still some time, he gathered all the dark elves and the little guys together.

In the midst of a busy day, they took the wind knives they had made earlier and began to harvest the ripe wheat.

……

That night.

Aina, who had not been seen for many days, appeared on the altar and brought with her 500 flame mushrooms that she had cultivated over the past month.

"According to the agreement, this is 80% of this month's production. See if it's enough."

Aina said, glancing around the altar.

When she sensed the second-level aura from Rhodes, she was secretly shocked. This was much faster than she expected.

But what shocked her even more were the dark elves walking back and forth not far away, and an elf ranger who appeared in the form of a soul and carried a bow and arrow.

Even from a distance, she could feel a terrifying aura pervading the surroundings, making it hard for her to breathe.

Level five!

Another fifth level!
It’s only been a month since I last came here, and there’s already a new fifth-level warrior, and he’s from the elf tribe!

Aina couldn't imagine how Rhodes had managed to get so many fifth-level warriors to serve him.

But she knew one thing: her choice was right!

"That's enough. A little more than I estimated."

After checking the mushrooms, Rhodes was very satisfied: "You haven't encountered any danger during this period?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Ina was stunned.

"Nothing, I just feel that this Black Moon is a little unusual, so you guys better be careful."

Although it was just a hunch, Rhodes still gave a reminder.
