Chapter 186: Existing at the same time as the Moon Goddess

time flies.

After discussing with Augla and the others, Rhodes continued to grow crops in the plantations and wheat fields.

As time went by, the base in the forest attracted more and more people to join in the construction of the city.

Everywhere was a scene of bustling activity.

With the efforts of so many people, at noon on the third day, a message finally popped up in front of Rhodes.

[Wheat planting successful, experience value +1]

[Level upgrade, lv29→lv30]

[Meet the career advancement requirements and start advancing...]

"Finally upgraded."

Rhodes, who was cultivating plants, showed joy on his face and quickly stopped casting the spell.

boom!
A surge of energy burst out from him.

The terrifying energy quickly gathered on the altar, forming a huge vortex with tremendous power.

A shadow of the moon appeared above his head, and darkness fell, covering the entire altar and the surrounding woods, and the scope of the woods expanded again.

"what is that?!"

The residents who were working in the forest also noticed the changes in the sky in the distance.

Seeing the strange scene that was like the sky falling, everyone was thrown into a commotion.

Especially the moon hanging in the sky, which almost made them think that the black moon was about to appear again and they were severely scared.

However, the scene did not last long, and gradually disappeared in their gaze, as if nothing had happened.

[Advanced successfully, current level: Level 3]

【Please select your occupational talent:】

[Efficiency Enhancement: All professional magic effects are increased to 30 times, and the casting range is increased by 3 times. ]

[Throttling: All professions' magic consumption is reduced by 30%, and the casting range is increased by 6 times. ]

[Empowerment: All occupational magic effects are reduced to 3 times, becoming a permanent state, and the casting range remains unchanged. ]

In front of Rhodes, who was rooted on the altar, advancement information popped up one after another.

And what’s different from the previous two times is that this time there are three options, all of which are passive effects, strengthening the original three professional magic.

"This should be equivalent to awakening professional talent, right?" Rhodes was secretly amazed.

He knew that those professionals would have the opportunity to awaken their talents during the advancement process, such as increasing the temperature of fire magic and increasing the casting speed.

He had not expected that he, a gardener, would have one, and that they would all be laid out for him to choose from in such a clear manner, and the results far exceeded his expectations.

For example, the first "efficiency increase" was actually increased by thirty times.

In other words, cultivation magic can increase the growth rate of plants by thirty times, the harvest can increase the yield by up to thirty times, and the efficiency of ripening will also become much faster.

Needless to say, the second one, "saving money", saves 30% of magic consumption, which is of great help to his daily cultivation of plants for combat, and greatly improves his endurance.

Moreover, this talent has the largest increased range, increasing it sixfold at once, and can at least cover a range of dozens of meters in diameter.

The third "empowerment" looks good. It can turn the magic effect into a permanent blessing, which means permanently increasing the growth rate and permanently increasing the output.

But the problem is that the magic effect is reduced from ten times to three times, and the upper limit is greatly reduced, making it a bit useless, and its help in combat is much weaker.

Considering that he had a lot of things that restored his mana, mana consumption was not a big problem, so he finally chose the most practical "efficiency enhancement" talent.

Increasing the magic effect by thirty times and tripling the range is still very terrifying for Rhodes now.

It’s like crops that used to take half a month to mature now only take five days.

Of course, this is the case when he has to cast spells and cultivate every day. He probably doesn't have that much time to do this now.

But even so, the efficiency-enhancing talent was still his first choice, because the thirty-fold effect was really too strong.

Moreover, Rhode had a feeling that if he chose this talent, the subsequent talents and career magic choices would also develop in the direction of improving magic effects, which was also one of his considerations.

[Choose successfully and obtain professional talent: efficiency enhancement]

As he thought about it, a new talent appeared on his personal panel.

【Demonized Tree Spirit lv30】

[Occupation: Gardener (Level 3)]

[Experience: 0/600]

[Normal: Light of Life (forbidden spell), Thorn Guard, Life Shield...]

[Occupation: Efficiency Enhancement (Talent), Cultivation, Harvest, Ripening]

"Not bad."

"Now I can finally learn third-level magic."

Rhodes clenched his fists and felt that his physical fitness and mental magic power had made a qualitative leap.

As he raised his hand, a magic halo appeared in front of him, turning into the breath of life and merging into the land, and the coverage area directly increased to about twenty meters.

That is to say, it was originally supposed to be only six or seven meters long.

"With this range, can we summon more Thorn Guardians?"

Coming to the open space with great expectations, Rhodes cast a spell again, casting the harvest magic and the thorn guard magic at the same time.

In an instant, loud explosions echoed in the ears, and the vine summoned creatures that were even thicker than the previous second-level ones rushed out of the ground and covered the entire 20-meter area in a blink of an eye.

After a careful count, there are as many as thirty.

As expected, as the magic effect improved, the auxiliary ability was also improved, directly turning the first-level single-target summoning magic into a group summoning. Those who didn’t know would think it was a high-level magic.

【Thorn Guard lv30】

Ok……

Rhode looked thoughtful as he looked at the information in front of him and the twisting body of the Thorn Guard. His level had caught up, but his foundation was still too poor.

The first-level Thorn Guardian magic is, after all, just a single-target summoning. The upper limit is there. No matter how much it is cultivated and harvested, it cannot compare with the third-level magic.

For example, the power of a first-level magic is 1, but in the hands of a third-level magician it can have a power of 3.

This does look very powerful, but the initial power of third-level magic is 6, which is much higher than that of first-level magic.

"I still have to get a third-level magic first."

While murmuring, Rhodes stood up and left the open space, informing Augla and the others of his advancement and calming the commotion caused by his advancement.

Then he found Erin and asked her about collecting magic scrolls.

Because magic above level three is considered intermediate magic, and with the decline of magic in the past three hundred years, the number of scrolls circulating in the market has become much smaller, and it takes some time to prepare.

So he had asked Yilin to keep an eye on it a long time ago.

But what surprised Rhode was that when he asked about this matter, Erin suddenly looked confused.

"Third-level magic scroll? Didn't you ask me to collect them and put them in your tree house? Didn't you go to see them?"

"Uh..." Rhode slapped his head. He really had forgotten about this matter. "Okay, I'll go over and take a look. You guys continue to be busy."

After saying that, he hurried back to the altar, came to the statue of the tree god, calmed his mind, and projected his consciousness into the tree house in the Elf Capital.

Swish!
There was a flash of light.

When he opened his eyes again, he was shocked by the scene before him.

Magic scroll.

Countless magic scrolls.

They are categorized and placed on the bookshelves in the tree house according to each department, just like a small library.

"Is this because magic has been declining for too long to be collected?"

Once again, Rhodes gained a new understanding of the elves' counting concept.

At the same time, he was extremely excited, having taken over the Dream Forest for so long, he had never fought such a prosperous battle before. He immediately began to carefully select among the bookshelves, preparing to pick out some awesome auxiliary magic to keep with him.

Why do you say it is auxiliary magic?

As a gardener, of course his priority is to save his own life!
Is not this nonsensical.

Adhering to this concept, Rhodes first looked at the classification of each department's defensive magic.

For example, the ice wall of the ice system, the phantom water curtain of the water system, the lightning flash of the thunder system, and the thick skin of the earth system are all good ways to save lives.

"Are you looking for a magic scroll?"

Suddenly, a question was raised in the tree house.

Rhodes, who was reading carefully, was startled. He turned around and saw that Phillis had appeared behind him at some point, looking at him curiously.

"So it's you. You make no sound when you walk."

Rhodes retracted his gaze and continued to select the scroll, saying, "I'm going to a dangerous place, so I want to find some means of self-defense."

"Danger?" Phillis frowned slightly, "Where is it?"

"Have you heard of the Dream Weaver? He is one of the four demigods under the Moon Goddess. I suspect he knows the truth about the destruction of the Dream Forest. I plan to go and take a look at the place where he used to live." Rhodes said casually while searching.

Unexpectedly, when Phillis heard this, her brows relaxed and she said something that shocked him a little.

"Dream Weaver, I know, it's a very big spider. I heard from the tree god that it is the embodiment of the consciousness of the dream forest."

Rhodes:? ? ?
Wait a moment.

I think I heard something extraordinary?

Rhodes froze in the act of selecting the scroll, and turned back to look at Phillis in astonishment.

He asked many people, including the tree spirit elder and the elf queen, but did not get any useful information.

But now, he heard about the Dream Weaver in this way. Even though he had countless experiences, he was stunned where he was, and it took him a while to react.

"You said you have seen the Dream Weaver?" Rhodes asked quickly.

"Not really." Phillis said with a nostalgic look, "But one time when I was offering sacrifices to the moon, I happened to hear the tree god arguing with someone and calling the big spider. Later I found out that it was another demigod called Dream Weaver."

"It is said that he has been with the Moon God since she was yet to attain godhood. Whenever the Moon God goes out, he is the one who takes care of the Dream Forest."

hiss--

Someone from the same period as Luna?

After listening to Phillis's story, Rhodes was shocked.

He originally thought that the Dream Weaver would be born after the Moon Goddess became a god, just like the other three demigods, but the result was beyond his expectations.

Living in the same period as the Moon Goddess, even if he didn't become a god, he must be much more powerful than the average demigod. Maybe he could really survive that incident.

Thinking of this, he flipped through the scroll while chatting with Phillis about the Dream Weaver.

Until more than half an hour later.

"Okay, now that I've picked the scrolls, I have to go back and prepare. I'll come see you next time when I'm free."

"Well, remember to be careful."

Phillis nodded slightly and watched Rhodes leave.

Swish!
There was a flash of light.

Rhodes' consciousness returned to his body, with five more scrolls in his hand.

Yes.

Magic scrolls are things that contain huge energy, and he can only bring five at a time at most.

Since he had to learn new magic anyway, he should learn more than one, so he brought all the ones he chose with him.
