I have a magical world

Chapter 122 Advancement to Silver Level, Sinful Courtyard, Blue Sage Promise [Pursuit of Order I]

Quiet bedroom on the second floor.

The two sisters, Kitty Girl, Nick and Dora, are sitting cross-legged on the outside, absorbing magic power from the vortex to temper themselves.

The amount they absorb can only be regarded as a "trickle" compared to the magic vortex triggered by the demon seed.

The formation constructed by three [Intermediate Demon Seeds] is continuing to work.

At the core is Chen Xuan.

The amount he absorbed was huge, like opening a "spill outlet" in the vortex.

At this moment, the pure white magic element in his body is rapidly compressing and transforming into light green.

The body is also strengthened during tempering.

Bones, blood, organs, skin, and muscles all feel numb, swollen, and itchy.

This is a sign that Mosu cultivation is about to enter the silver level.

When Rebecca and others finished their round of practice, Chen Xuan was still continuing.

This staying power shocked the two Dora sisters.

Kittygirl and Nick were relatively calm.

"Shh, let's go."

"Don't disturb the master's practice!"

"Yucca, Beria, you can go to the first floor to practice your rifle."

The considerate Rebecca took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the little housekeeper.

He greeted everyone and left Chen Xuan's bedroom.

Dora Yuclan and Dora Beria hurriedly ran into the temporary shooting range holding an M16A1 rifle.

The two little cats and sisters came to the yard.

After Rebecca changed into the second-level magic dagger, the original first-level rune dagger belonged to Little Nick.

The siblings each held a dagger and entered into a sparring state.

…

As time goes by, the dark blue sun disappears at the end of the sky.

Three moons rose into the sky one after another.

The beautiful night sky of Naroa can make all intelligent races involuntarily calm down.

But the monster will become more and more manic.

In the quiet bedroom, Chen Xuan, whose whole body was steaming, slowly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be arcs of light flashing through his bright eyes.

He could feel a surging power filling his whole body.

The pure white magic element in the body has completed the conversion, and it has all been concentrated and transformed into a higher-level light green magic element.

The body has also gone through the initial tempering during promotion and officially has a silver-level physique!

By the standards Rebecca had said before.

Silver level can lift approximately 15 to 35 times their own body weight.

This standard applies to multiple ethnicities, including those who are larger.

The larger the body and the taller the weight of the ethnic group, the stronger the power they can exert.

Relative strength based on body weight has become a common indicator for all major ethnic groups.

Moreover, as his physique continues to be tempered and improved, Chen Xuan's body density is also increasing while his body shape remains unchanged, so his weight is becoming more and more "unscientific".

Chen Xuan, who is currently 181 centimeters tall, has increased his weight from 72 kilograms to 104 kilograms now.

The key is that his body shape is still the same, maintaining a well-proportioned but not bulky state.

Originally, when he was in the bronze level, his weight suddenly increased by more than ten kilograms, and now this value has increased further.

The extra sixty pounds of meat is not a small sum.

Just think about buying sixty pounds of pork in the market and you will understand what it means.

This change in weight is nothing in a short period of time, but if the gap between body shape and weight widens further, it will definitely cause some trouble to his normal life.

Maybe one day in the future, if Chen Xuan enters the elevator alone, the load-bearing alarm will be triggered.

But to think about it another way, weight gain is always easier to deal with than body size gain.

The increase in body density brings about a series of changes.

He poked his skin lightly, and it felt like he was poking a piece of rawhide.

The muscles also become extremely hard after being filled with blood.

Even the internal organs have been strengthened, and his cardiopulmonary function, digestion ability, and hematopoietic function have all improved.

The corresponding improvement affects almost all aspects, such as jumping, running, endurance, body defense ability, cell resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, self-healing ability, etc.

Even the “hardware” that carries the five senses has also been upgraded.

If we say that the super-sense brought about by spiritual meditation is a "soft body" improvement.

Then physical training is undoubtedly a real hardware upgrade. The most powerful configuration is the combination of the two!

"Cool!"

Chen Xuan clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

But he was covered in sweat, which made him eager to wash up.

Originally, he estimated that it would take two rounds of practice to break through the peak of the bronze level and officially enter the silver level.

But the gain effect after three [mid-level demon species] formed a formation was beyond imagination.

This allowed him to break through to the silver level in one fell swoop.

At this time, it had just entered a moonlit night outside.

Chen Xuan estimated the time and meditated for another water clock before returning to a state of mental exhaustion.

Then he returned to Blue Star's den and took a comfortable hot bath before returning to Naroya in high spirits.

Without disturbing the two Dora sisters who were catching up on their sleep, Chen Xuan headed to the second circle alone.

According to the address left by Franco Budge, the small courtyard where Sorel lived was found.

It didn't take much effort to flip it in.

Sorel was dead, and that guy usually lived alone. At most, he brought girls back from the tavern or the women's ward to spend the night. Chen could come here boldly and take away his private collection.

He climbed into the courtyard, took out a crowbar and violently broke the black iron lock hanging on the wooden door.

Chen Xuan entered the house easily, and with the help of [Insight], he quickly found the exact place where Sorel hid the money.

Taking out the shovel he had prepared in advance, he dug out a square money box.

After opening it, there were all dark gold coins and mithril coins inside.

Many coins were still stained with brown blood.

After digging around for a while, Chen Xuan also saw several second- and third-level elemental magic gems on the bottom floor.

Without bothering to count them carefully, he put the money box into the storage compartment.

After fusing two Rose Key fragments.

His storage compartments have been changed from two to four, and the total storage volume has reached 108 cubic meters.

If the four storage compartments are spliced ​​together, it will become a space with a length of six meters, a width of three meters, and a height of three meters. It is no exaggeration to say that it can even fit an SUV.

After putting away the cash box, Chen Xuan immediately searched the other rooms.

I found two sets of squad leader standard armor issued by the garrison, as well as two magic horns and an identity card made of black iron.

Regardless of whether these things are useful or not, the right solution is to pack them all up and take them away!

Through [Insight], he carefully observed every corner.

A basement was discovered in the back room.

Strictly speaking, it was an underground prison with all kinds of torture instruments.

The stone walls and floors were covered with dark blood stains.

A stinking and rotten halfling corpse was tied up on the torture rack.

Judging from his clothing, this halfling is probably a businessman.

In addition, Chen Xuan also discovered a place called [Corpse Pit] in the courtyard.

Does he know what's there without digging?

But before leaving, he opened both the underground cell and the [corpse pit].

In the large pit in the courtyard, a large number of scattered bones are wrapped in compacted soil, which makes people's scalp numb at first glance.

Chen Xuan did not dig thoroughly. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least dozens of corpses there. Judging from the thickness of the bones, they belong to all races. They should all be victims killed by Sorel Moran during his years as a "black policeman" .

After he was done, Chen Xuan left quickly from the backyard without stopping.

Reaching the second level of spiritual meditation has become his best "radar".

Once Sorel's disappearance was revealed, it wouldn't take long for someone to come to his yard to check.

Without disturbing anyone, Chen Xuan wore a hood and simply disguised himself before arriving at the White Rose Caravan.

Before he could walk in, he was blocked by caravan guards.

Since she had relatively abundant funds, Ophelia hired contract guards for the caravan station regardless of the cost.

In addition to the silver-level team she hired before, she also hired a team of adventurers led by a silver-level ranger.

With magic tears as equal reward, these silver-level masters are very willing to accept the commission.

Putting aside other aspects, if anyone dares to break into the station, they will definitely be hunted down.

There are not many silver-level experts in the city, and they are considered iconic.

The small misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and Ophelia was practicing in the station.

On Sunday, she completed the handover of the main products for the day.

Not long ago, she successfully sold a box of chicken essence.

The main sales are still Magic Tears and aluminum tableware.

The master and servant gathered together in the central tent, where a second-level detection magic array was arranged.

It also integrates practical magic circles such as sound insulation and magic interference.

Even the scouts who master low-level stealth cannot approach here quietly.

If you have money and a way, you can manage it quickly.

Chen Xuan sat at the top of the table, and Ophelia took out a cash box without any instructions.

This is all the remaining income from the White Rose Caravan after deducting expenses in the past three days in Naroa.

Procurement, bribery, hiring of guards, and the purchase of caravan talent and supplies all cost a lot of crowns.

But there was still a surplus of more than 200,000 kroner in the cash box.

Chen Xuan did not move the cash box, but raised his hand to push it back.

He saw the space storage bracelet on Ophelia's hand.

"Keep it, I still have money."

"The plan for the next few days remains unchanged. Try to collect space storage jewelry, high-level magic scrolls, elemental beads, and various practical magic props."

The mercury storage tank he gave me before can still be sold for a long time. Currently, the daily shipment volume of Magic Tears is 400 to 500, which is maintained at a fairly stable level.

There is no need to increase shipments in the short term.

In Magtan City, many things cannot be bought with money.

Ophelia put away the cash box and nodded respectfully.

"By the way, Master, you want the contract bead!"

As she spoke, she took out a storage bag.

There are twelve black iron-level contract beads and three silver-level contract beads inside.

This is indispensable material for Chen Xuan to sign a contract with Blue Star.

After her master put away the contract bead, Ophelia reported the news she had learned in the alchemy workshop not long ago.

After listening patiently to her story, Chen Xuan felt that all the clues in his mind became clearer.

He looked at Ophelia and asked as if reviewing.

"In other words, your father purchased a large amount of deadly poisons and magic boiling potions?"

"And your stepmother bought a lot of psychedelic and stimulant drugs?"

"Yes Master…"

Ophelia answered in a somewhat subdued tone.

Neither party spoke anymore, and after a moment of silence, Chen Xuan slowly spoke.

"I think your biological mother's death may have something to do with your father."

As soon as these words came out, Ophelia's head hung lower.

"I also found a clue."

"The Colchicum Merchant Group owns a secret dark gold mine."

Chen Xuan didn't pause anymore and spoke out his findings in one go.

Upon hearing the words "Dark Gold Mine", Ophelia, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly froze.

She seemed to have figured something out, and the expression on her face was very complicated, a little shocked and a little sad.

"You mean...?"

Chen Xuan understood what she meant and didn't reveal it, just nodded lightly.

Then he added.

"The force responsible for cooperative distribution in that dark gold mine is the red-haired Walton family!"

"Your stepmother is an outsider in the distribution of benefits, so she tried her best to get in."

"Since Harward's death, she and your father have torn away the pretense of understanding that they had for so many years."

"It won't take long, there will be a battle!"

"As for your mother, the truth cannot be determined for the time being."

"But based on the known information, her death may be the result of the joint action of your father and stepmother."

"This matter may have to be investigated from the beginning and end of the discovery of the dark gold mine."

Chen Xuan's words were no less than a bombshell.

Ophelia was seen frozen in place, then shook her head and sighed.

"No...impossible, father loves me so much..."

"He also loves his mother so much..."

"Even my name has the word 'Sharon' in it."

Chen Xuan slowly shook his head and did not refute.

In fact, he really wanted to say to Ophelia:

"Love and killing are not in conflict."

Ansetus was a shrewd fellow, there was no doubt about that.

He is also a mature and successful businessman.

For businessmen, when huge benefits arise, appropriate sacrifices and compromises are also acceptable.

Ophelia's memories as a child don't mean much.

Whether Ansetus had anything to do with Sharon's death or not, he was Ophelia's father.

As for Yusula's marriage to him, it was more like a compromise and disguise.

However, there are still many clues missing, and Chen Xuan does not want to conclude the matter.

Ophelia is a clever girl who recovers quickly from her emotional breakdown.

He had already told her the direction, so how to check it was not Chen Xuan's concern.

The next stage is to wait until Ursula and Ansetus break up.

After giving Ophelia a few minutes to relax, he took out the [Magic Source] from the storage compartment.

The flickering [Demon Source] appeared in front of the table.

Successfully aroused the curiosity of the half-elf lady.

She could vaguely sense the pure magic power surging in the [Demon Source], which was somewhat like a demon species but different.

"Master...this is?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said in a clear voice.

"Reach out and touch it."

There’s not much explanation, and no explanation is needed, which is a huge benefit.

Ophelia followed his instructions with some anxiety and raised her hand to slowly touch the [Devil Source].

The moment her palm came into contact with the [Demon Source], she froze in place.

His whole body suddenly trembled, as if he was electrified.

The [Magic Source] turned into pitch-black pure magic power, and was absorbed by her in the blink of an eye!

After integrating into the body, it is quickly converted into her own magic essence.

"Uh-huh..."

The feeling of rapid advancement made her moan uncontrollably.

The tempering changes of the body are also proceeding in a rapid manner.

It was different from Chen Xuan's breakthrough which took him three or four water hours to complete.

Ophelia's same process took less than five minutes!

The violent reaction caused her to faint as expected, and the sweat on her body was like soaked rain.

Chen Xuan prepared food and water bags in advance, pillowed her head in front of him, and waited quietly for her to wake up.

Her body was incredibly hot and she smelled like spring lilies.

It's hot and sultry.

After being unconscious for about ten minutes, Ophelia slowly woke up.

"Master, I have reached the silver level!"

Chen Xuan smiled, encouraged the magic element a little, and answered softly.

"Me too."

…

Ophelia, who got the opportunity to be promoted at a super speed, let go of some of her sadness.

Chen Xuan did not discuss those heavy topics with her anymore. He just explained a few things about caravan operations and procurement, and left the caravan station before dawn.

When he returned to the small rented courtyard, he didn't go anywhere.

Silently holding the walkie-talkie, he watched with interest the two Dora sisters practicing their swordsmanship after waking up.

When daylight came up, his walkie-talkie finally rang.

"Ahem..."

"Master...Master~!"

The voice of the dwarf blacksmith Jason Ironforge came from it.

"Tell me, what's going on around the blue sage grass in the North District now?"

Yes, Chen did not actually go to the Blue Sage backyard for the appointment.

He just asked Jason Ironforge to keep an eye on it.

This guy has many blacksmith apprentices, and any of them can act as scouts for passers-by.

Blue Sage is a large hotel in the North District with a lot of traffic around it.

After he spoke, Jason Ironforge quickly replied.

"Garrison!"

"According to my apprentices, the streets around Blue Sage are full of disguised garrisons."

"My little clever guys recognized some of the team captains."

"Anyone who enters a blue sage backyard will be quickly contained."

Chen Xuan looked calm, these situations were all expected by him.

The appearance of the garrison, combined with Yusula's frequent visits to the first circle, it is not difficult to guess that the red-haired stepmother definitely has someone in the city, and she is also a high-level person with great influence.

"Your apprentice didn't leave any clues, did he?"

To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan asked one more question.

"Of course not, don't worry!"

"Little clever ghosts often go to the North District to buy materials to assist forging."

"And it's not surprising that people from the Blacksmith Association appear everywhere in the city. There are 79 small blacksmith shops in the city, all of which are cultivated by the association!"

Jason Ironforge said quite confidently.

Chen Xuan also knew it well.

"Okay, I understand."

"If someone investigates, you should know what to do."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Jason Ironforge said generously.

Chen was very relieved about this and ended the conversation after a few words of advice.

Density theory is currently the most reliable explanation for extraordinary physical power.

Before you start spewing bad words, search for [protein materials] and extended concepts.

And he actually used a fishing rod as a metaphor. Whose fishing rod is made of protein materials?

To give a typical example, spider silk is a typical representative of protein materials.

Its strength is completely out of proportion to its own weight and size.

At present, many nanomaterials research is trying to use carbon structures to imitate the protein structure of spider silk.

In real-life protein materials, slight structural changes can bring about a geometric increase in strength.

Even changes in any one polypeptide chain can cause huge changes.

The corresponding weight gain ratio is not measured in terms of plastic or metal.

Of course, there are blood, organs, fat and bones in the body, so don’t think of the extraordinary as something made of metal.

The biological materials in many science fiction settings are mostly protein materials, and currently existing technology has just begun to get started in this area.

But the potential of protein is recognized.

In addition to the properties of protein, this is not the first time that the tempering effect brought by magic elements has been mentioned. If you have to compare it with the ordinary chicken of Lan Xingdui, what is the difference between being so extraordinary and using medicine to keep fit?
