this mage is dangerous

Born was extremely surprised when he heard Lehman's report. Although he had already calculated that the military would not let him lose blood, he did not expect it to be so powerful.

Just throwing the order over like this, it was just a gift of money. These soldiers expressed their feelings so straightforwardly, simply and crudely.

Of course, what surprised Bowen even more was that magic potions were so popular. There were so many rich people in Severington, and of course there were also a lot of people who were afraid of death.

More than two million!

And it's still cash. What's the concept? Just take the dragon treasure as an example. The wealth owned by a normal dragon (according to the standards of an adult dragon), excluding those magic items, is about 800,000 gold coins.

This has attracted those so-called dragon-slaying warriors to come and kill people one after another, let alone more than two million.

Although outsiders are not sure of the specific data, they can roughly guess a rough range.

Damn, this might be a bit troublesome.

Bone gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and then said: "Lehman, start selling off all the fixed assets in Severton. Be careful not to let too many people find out. Transfer privately and sign a confidentiality contract before the price reaches its peak.

If it changes hands, there will be many speculators willing to take over."

Evacuate Severton!

The plan was set up before the Alchemy Workshop was built. With Born's cautious character, how could it be possible not to leave several escape routes? To this end, various response plans from E-level to S-level were set up according to different situations.

.

With Count Iolum as his backer, there is basically no case of deliberately targeting Bone. If he loses in a normal business competition, there is nothing to lose. If it is an underhanded attempt to cause a stumbling block, the Count will definitely not let him go.

But Bone's brain circuit is different. With rich experience (film and television experience), he understands that only he can be relied on. Although his grandfather is protecting him,...

What if!

How did Gao Yawei die? How was the Shu Kingdom destroyed? Even if it was as powerful as the Qin Kingdom, it would not fall apart in the second life.

Although Bo En is not Gao Yawei or Hu Hai, his enemies are not Liu Bang and Xiang Yu either.

Marx said that if capital has 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; if it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample all laws in the world; if it has 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime.

Crime, even risking being hanged!

Now that my grandfather has just left, a group of people have begun to eagerly encroach on the Iolum family's industry. The reason why Lehman Chamber of Commerce has not been touched is because the Lehman Chamber of Commerce's industry has formed a complete closed loop, and it is difficult to rely on some low-level people.

To use means to check and balance the Lehman Chamber of Commerce, it is obvious that the Guardian is still there, which is completely a strong backbone.

The Iolum family's industry is different. It covers almost all walks of life. It is numerous and complex. As long as any link blocks the upstream supply chain or refuses to accept the goods if there is a slight fault, Viscount Gordon will be exhausted, and even

Losing money to the point of vomiting blood.

Fortunately, the earl's "remaining power" is still there, but relying on favors and remaining power alone is unreliable. Those "vampires" will have some scruples and will only make small moves for the time being, rather than taking advantage of the situation. But the current situation is the Lehman Chamber of Commerce.

The "meat" is so fragrant that the Iolum family's property may not be able to feed these "evil wolves".

It was only a matter of time before we set our sights on Lehman Chamber of Commerce!

The Lehman Chamber of Commerce was so lucrative that Bone had to prepare for the worst to prevent some old guy from getting jealous and shameless and ending up personally.

"How are the arrangements between Habrij and Zenis City?"

"The arrangements have been made, and the personnel of the Lehman Chamber of Commerce can be transferred at any time." Lehman replied, "But do all the people here in Sevington have to evacuate?"

"Well...just keep some reliable spies, and everyone else should evacuate!"

After all, the Lehman Chamber of Commerce was established in such a short period of time that there are not many people available, and the family member Bone does not dare to use it. The Earl is very powerful and dares to use anyone. As long as he has the ability to get things done, he doesn't care at all.

What a question of loyalty.

There is a kind of attitude of distrusting people and not trusting people. As long as I am here, I don't believe that you can jump up and down.

However, the count's approach is indeed correct. In a world where extraordinary power belongs to oneself, if even he is killed, it will be of no use to him with so many properties and so many loyal people.

It's just that this time the situation is a little special.

"OK."

Lehman nodded, "There is one more thing the boss needs to report to you."

"What's up?"

"Recently, the finance minister's people have been coming here often, placing many orders, and often asking me for information about the boss. During the conversation, he accidentally or unintentionally revealed information about the second prince, as if he wanted to win over us..."

"Don't pay attention to them, it doesn't matter who is the king!"

Bone said disdainfully, "We don't need to take sides, it doesn't matter who the king is."

Lehman:…………

After the two handed over the information, Lehman left Iolum Manor under the cover of darkness.

Looking at Lehman's leaving figure, Bone sighed silently.

If he hadn't seen the truth from history, it would have been possible for Bone to turn around and hug the crown prince's thigh. As the saying goes, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and only some of Nether's senior officials knew that the king was being ignored.

The king is a king no matter what, otherwise he wouldn't dare. Every king is thinking about causing trouble and trying to get back his own rights, and Rodney can let so many snake people sneak into Sevington, including the court mage.

In the group, the king played a big role.

Suddenly became seriously ill...

hehe…

It's just an excuse. The top leaders of the parliament are trying their best to dismiss the king in advance. However, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, they must not tell the truth.

Moreover, for more than four hundred years, the king and the parliament have always cooperated in a tacit understanding. If the people suddenly knew that the actual power of Nether was in the hands of the parliament, the king would be nothing more than a puppet, which would be extremely detrimental to the ruling class.

The nobility firmly controls the power of the country, so that the lower class has almost no hope. If the cornerstone of the pyramid is destroyed, the top will also be broken!

………………

The mental power is overdrawn and the magic power is silent. Because magic power is the combination of mental power and elements in the air, it is understandable that the mental power needs to be repaired and cannot use magic power. Boyn understands.

But why is the monk’s ‘qi’ okay?

Theoretically, 'Qi' exists in all objects. The powerful perception of monks is also based on the induction of 'Qi'. After Bowen awakened to 'Qi', he always believed that 'Qi' is the combination of 'life force' and spiritual power.

combine.

But this time, as the mental power was overdrawn and the magic power fell silent, the 'qi' did not also strike. This shook the theory that Bone had always adhered to.

But one thing is true, that is, fighting evil objects is indeed the fastest way for a monk to improve his level.

"Isn't the 'breathing method' a cultivation method of 'Qi'? If 'Qi' is really a combination of spiritual power and life force, then why can't Uncle John, a high-level knight, awaken to 'Qi'?

It obviously doesn’t make sense that Viscount Gordon has awakened even though he was obsessive!

After the life transition, high-level warriors have more vitality, and the probability of awakening "qi" is higher.

But the situation was exactly the opposite. The knight commander could not sense life and death, but Viscount Gordon suddenly realized it after a daze. It was simply unreasonable.

"The monastery at Moon Mountain was destroyed by a forest fire!"

This is one of the pieces of information recorded in the Toril world timeline!

Born has not found a place like a monastery in Netheril so far. There are quite a few temples. Monasteries are only occasionally mentioned in some documents, but not in Netheril.

I don't know if it's Bone's illusion, but since the magic power in his body has been silenced, memories that I couldn't recall from my previous life have been recalled one after another in the past few days.

According to the memory in Bone's mind, monasteries should be scattered around the world, usually small monasteries isolated from the outside world.

The monks (monks) in the monastery train themselves into fighters who do not need weapons and armor through meditation and practice (it is not that they cannot be used, they are just not needed. In the game, it is set so that monks cannot wear armor for the sake of professional balance.

, because the basic attributes of the monk are already very BT, so when wearing armor, there is nothing wrong with the warrior).

In the background of monks, monks are usually trained in monasteries. Most monks are sent to monasteries as children. Some are orphans or sent to monasteries because their families cannot support them. Therefore,

Monks are basically very poor. They have been isolated from the world for a long time and have to produce everything on their own, so in the setting they will be empty-handed and without armor.

Meditation and practice?

Is it not the breathing method that monks practice?

wrong!

Bone looked at the strange moon-shaped family emblem on the wall and fell into deep thought...

According to Uncle John's information, someone in the ancestors of the Iolum family did awaken to 'qi', but there was basically no practice experience passed down. Bone estimated that his level 8 monk might be the highest level besides the first generation.

Bone pulled up the chip records and checked the data when Viscount Gordon was observed to be awakening.

Discovered something that Bowen had ignored all this time.

Changes in mood!

Could it be said?

Emotions! Mental power!

Boyn suddenly thought of an anime from his previous life, "The Legend of Gomura Gundo: Eyes". Is this the method of opening eyes in it...

Gan!

The breathing method is only an auxiliary, the key is the stimulation of mental power, or to be precise, the practice of 'qi' relies on special meditation methods.

This also explains why the family has a special meditation technique called "Crystal Meditation".

It turns out that there has always been a way to practice Qi, but for some unknown reason the practice method was lost. In the end, the family even separated the meditation method from the breathing method.

As for the burning of Moon Mountain Monastery 26 years ago, there must be some unknown secret.

You must know that only major events will be recorded in the history line. Even Severington's invasion by the evil god was not recorded in the timeline. One can only imagine what must have happened in the Moon Mountain Monastery!

Then the ancestor of Bone must have discovered something when he came out of the Moon Monastery, otherwise there would not even be records. The inheritance is completely passed down by word of mouth. The final result is that unexpected situations occur, there is no 'handover', and the inheritance is directly interrupted.

Later generations did not know the situation and dismantled the entire inheritance.

With doubts in his heart, Bone came to the basement.

There is nothing here except moldy empty bookshelves and a few broken wooden boxes.

All the libraries in Iolum Manor were evacuated by Bone.

If it weren't for the fear of "evil" Dean Congenio, Bon would have wanted to go to the Mage Tower and empty out everything inside.

A legendary strongman!

If you haven't seen the dean take action on the front line, then you must have seen Count Iolum show off his power.

First he fought Modesty, then he fought Rodney who had stolen divine power, and finally he fought against the fake angel.

The record can be said to be very strong, and of course the main reason is also because the count is an arcanist.

Fighting against the fake angel from behind, other top high-level professionals are not even qualified to do so, so they can only shout 666 from the side.

Now everyone knows how terrifying the legend is, especially in the past few days, those who used to often use their power as members to suppress Mr. Congenio are sweating.

I think I was so complacent back then, but I don’t even know how many times I wandered past the gate of hell.

So after Lord Congenio came back, all the orders were approved, even the somewhat bloody voluntary 'sacrifice' version, and no one had the slightest objection (well-behaved).

Count Iolum has been so powerful just after being promoted. How terrifying would Concinio be when he entered the legend more than a hundred years ago? Spellcasters are not like warriors. As they grow older, their physical fitness will decrease.

Slowly sliding down to the top.

But the caster is different. Even in old age, as long as his brain can still function normally, his peak will always be at the moment before death.

Seeing the legendary strong men be so terrifying, what would those professionals who have been at the top of the high-level for many years think?

Will the goshawk, which has seen the vast sky, still be nostalgic for the original birdcage?

So how to break through the legend has become the biggest question. Why can Count Iolum break through? They have been stuck at the high level for so long, why there is no sign of breaking through.

If you want to solve a problem, the fastest way is to ask someone who has already solved it. Dean Congenio has been promoted for many years and has not even shown his strength, let alone the slightest information about the legend. It is estimated that even if he goes to ask him for advice, it is not possible.

can get useful information.

But there is no problem with Count Iolum, and it is better if the Count is gone. Spellcasters like to take notes, and there will definitely be some information about promotion left.

It is conceivable how attractive the information left by the Earl is. It is just incidental to cannibalize the family's industry. The real purpose is Earl Iolum's research information. Even if the information about the legend is not obtained in the end, a high-level arcane magician

The teacher’s research materials are also very attractive.

Born also discovered the purpose of this group of people, and had already collected all the family's information into the portable space. Fortunately, after several enhancements, the portable space had expanded a lot, otherwise it would not be able to hold so much information.

In the past few days, some uninvited guests have sneaked into the manor uninvited. The knight commander, Uncle John, has hacked to death seven or eight people one after another, and then buried the bodies directly in the garden as fertilizer.

At the same time, Bone also discovered many strange traces. Now the strongest force in the manor is the knight captain. Of course, if Bone can recover quickly, it will also have a certain deterrent effect.

Smelling the musty air, Bone frowned slightly. If he wasn't too pressed for time, he would also like to develop a cleaning spell himself.

But now we don't have so much time to waste on Bone, and this is the only place in the manor that is relatively safe and undisturbed.

Bone sat cross-legged on the ground and called the system to bring up all the information about meditation. Apart from practicing breathing techniques these days, he has been busy at other times. In addition to clearing out all the family information, he also recorded all the information into the chip and expanded the chip.

Data information.

There was only a pair of eyes glowing blue in the dark space.

In front of Boyn's eyes, the relatively complete "Crystal Meditation Method" was at the top of the list, followed by some incomplete meditation methods, most of which were just theories that had not yet been practiced.

After all, mental power acts on the brain, which is different from physical martial arts. Even if you make a mistake, at most it will be muscle damage, but mental power is different. If you make a mistake, the situation will be the same as a spell collapse, or at least your mental power will be permanently damaged.

, or the head will explode on the spot.

It is already very good to have a result. After all, there has never been a powerful spell caster in the family before, and it was only in the Earl's generation that he started to make a fortune.

"Crystal Meditation Method" has the effect of healing mental trauma, and of course it also increases mental strength. However, the effect is far inferior to normal meditation methods. It is relatively moderate and peaceful. According to Boen's previous life, it is the authentic Taoist Xuanmen mind method.

.

It's just that most of these mental methods progress slowly and take a long time to be effective. The biggest feature is that they are 'stable', and the effect is far inferior to the current popular version of meditation.

However, the "Crystal Meditation Method" also has its advantages, that is, it has the effect of purifying mental power, but the purification effect is very small.

Then Bohn looked at other meditation methods, such as the "Candlelight Meditation Method", which is to construct a candlelight in the spiritual world and project the candlelight. The reason why it is candlelight instead of a flame is because the candlelight is relatively mild, and building a flame is not easy.

Shen may be burned directly into an idiot.

This can increase mental strength to a great extent and calm the mind. There is no problem with the train of thought, but it suddenly breaks off in the middle of the process. The latter part is obviously not the same person, and the intention of the former has not been understood at all, and he has added his own private thoughts without permission.

Damn it, it makes the whole meditation method a bit different.

As Bowen scrolled down, the situation became more and more terrible. Most of them were similar to the "Candlelight Meditation Method", and many even had traces of four or five people. A good meditation method was completely different.

It gave Boyn a bit of a headache to see them, and some of them were modified based on the original version, and even the original version was gone. Even Boyn couldn't help complaining about these "ancestors" of his, who completely cheated their "grandchildren" with their strength.

Fortunately, there is chip analysis, which can be disassembled and separated.

Finally, a special fragment was isolated from the unknown hodgepodge.

Using mental power to simulate breathing to mobilize physical strength is completely useless. If it weren't for the analysis of the chip, Born would not have been able to find out that the frequency of this breathing is closest to the breathing method.

Then Bone began to compare the two, optimizing this meditation method so that the frequencies of the two were in sync.

"So fast?"

Born thought it would take a long time, but he didn't expect it to be adjusted in just a moment. After comparing the chips, the fit was as high as 70%!

"System, create the document "Breath Awareness Meditation Method"."

"Beep! File created."

After all, chip simulation is just a simulation and cannot completely replace the human brain. The fact that it can achieve such a good fit is beyond Born's expectations.

After that, it was time to conduct human experiments to collect data, and the only suitable candidates were Boyne and Viscount Gordon.

We can't bring Viscount Gordon over for experiments. What if he becomes disabled? I don't know how long it will take to find someone who awakens his 'Qi'. Bone himself has his own chip and has advanced to the intermediate martial arts level.

Monk, who has [Hunyuan Ti], is the most suitable candidate. In theory, as long as you control the rhythm well, there should be no big problem.

After comforting himself, Bone began his first experiment...

(PS: I originally wanted to post it at 6,000, but I saw the comments that kept urging me to post it first. I couldn’t think of a title, so I just posted it.
