Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 379 Sleep and Dawn

They don't need food or water, nor do they require a large space. They can be carried around in various ways, and in the future, they can even live on your body. They are absolutely devout, absolutely loyal, and absolutely loving—a group of adorable, innocent little creatures, a group of exceptionally high-quality believers after all considerations. The only drawback is the limited amount of faith power they provide. This can be addressed in two ways for now: firstly, by gradually improving their spirituality and intelligence; and secondly, by increasing their numbers.

Two sufficiently traditional, yet absolutely effective methods.

Luger was lost in thought.

These self-sufficient believers are indeed quite peculiar, but things need to be done slowly. Miscellaneous Hair Number One needs to be prepared, and he doesn't want to become an ugly, bald dog. Sustainable and regenerative resources are the best resources, and he needs time to continue using the Spirit Hair Nourishing Technique to groom his entire body.

Every time a hair gains sentience, while he is happy, it also signifies that he will go bald.

Ruger closed his eyes, wondering if there were any spells that could help hair grow.

This was a lucky accident. The first tiny change after Miscellaneous Hair No. 1 became a divine being was enough to help him solve such a big problem. Otherwise, he would have had to endure the Spirit Hair Nourishment Technique for a few more days, and he would never have harvested so much spiritual hair.

A total of 530 spiritual believers.

Therefore, his comfort and encouragement to Lingmao No. 1 were genuine and sincere, and reflected true recognition.

The surrounding noise gradually subsided.

The mental space, calm and serene like the edge of the world, had been warm and cozy since the beginning. Luger lay on the bed with his eyes closed, sensing it and entering a meditative state. He didn't detect anything unusual, so he gradually relaxed, intentionally emptying his mind, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

He spent the entire night relentlessly empowering and casting spells on the arcane mark's spell model. He did it according to the highest number of spells required in his notes. When embedding runes, he also had to empower and outline the runes simultaneously, so that the empowerment of the spell model and the outlining of the runes would be completed at the same time for better results. Ruger kept all of this in mind and completed it meticulously with the highest, or even exceeding, specifications.

Just before falling completely asleep, Ruger was still marveling at the genius of his predecessors as wizards.

This strange method preserves the purity of wizards. Wizards remain wizards, not divine beings like the "Hairy One," and they may not even become gods in the end. Yet, they can still wield, or even control, a purer form of faith power. Through experimentation and exploration, wizards become stronger than gods born of faith, using and mastering this power without being corrupted by it like gods.

Master power, don't be mastered by power.

So what if someone is born a divine being, or even a god? Wisdom, knowledge, and the courage to explore can bridge the gap.

Of course, powerful wizards can probably no longer be considered human.

Silent all night.

*Splat!* *Plop!* *Plop!*

Ruger opened his eyes and saw the Blood Curse Doll leap out from between his fur, jump high into the air, and then plunge back into the fur, finally slapping him in the face. A bump bulged in the soft fur, and the doll quickly moved across his body.

"Stop jumping around, it's time to eat."

Ruger yawned, pulled out the blood he had collected earlier, which contained a faint trace of resentment.

"Yeah?"

The Blood Curse Doll popped out from his shoulder.

Luger tilted the bottle, and a small amount of blood dripped down.

While watching the Blood Curse Doll absorb blood, I also felt my own condition.

Although it is said that Zamao No. 1 has initially become a god, becoming a divine being constructed by a special wizard, the source of everything is ultimately him, this fifth-level wizard apprentice.

Ruger put away the few remaining bottles, a slight smile playing on his lips.

That warm feeling was gone, but when he woke up, his mental strength had inexplicably increased.

Simply taking the path of a faith wizard halfway through is not a world-shaking event, but the moment Zamao No. 1 transformed, the activity and growth of his mental power was still equivalent to the level of his meditation for dozens of days.

Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?
Ruger was thinking about it.

In the next few days, he should be able to make the long stone strip used to test mental strength light up with ten small holes, at which point the thing will become useless.

He smiled, pushed open the window, and stretched vigorously.

This was an unexpected delight. The well-fed Blood Curse Doll nestled on his shoulder, its head tilted to one side, and fell asleep. He raised his hand and gently pressed down, smoothing the wondrous puppet into its thick fur.

Ruger massaged his entire body with the Spirit Hair Nourishing Technique as he slowly walked into the courtyard.

Looking at the sky, he realized he hadn't slept for long.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the light stones of Tianzhu Mountain had not yet fully awakened.

"It seems you're making good progress..."

The wizard Zorn walked in from outside, scratching his chest hair.

"grown ups."

Luger bowed with relief.

"I sensed the irritating scent of faith power on you, though it's so faint it's not too unpleasant," Zorn said, looking Ruger up and down, then exhaling a breath of alcohol. "Much faster than I expected. Looks like that little guy was sincere enough, and your acceptance is pretty good too..."

Luger smiled slightly.

“Thank you for your guidance, Lord Zorn, and—” he said.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

An indescribable roar came from afar.

Immediately afterward, under Luger's watchful gaze, a beam of light shot into the sky.

It pierced the dim, still-dark sky, illuminating everything as if it were midday, or even more so.

Ruger stared blankly, and when he turned his head, the wizard Zorn was gone.

A burly figure rushed out of the house and came to Ruger's side.

Luger looked up suddenly and saw the figure of the wizard Zorn floating in the air, looking into the distance.

Ignoring Mahama, whose questioning gaze was clearly wasted on Ruge, there was no way he would get a useful explanation.

Ruger twitched his lips into a smile, completed the spell model of Lightness of Body, stretched out his Nightmare Wings, and tried his best to leap into the air, first using the rooftop for leverage, and then leaping to an even higher place.

A dazzling pillar of light, ten times larger than the Tianzhu Mountain that Luger had ever seen, or even more, because it was extremely distant, spewed out towards the dome and in all directions. The dazzling light seemed endless, making it a pillar of light ten times thicker than Tianzhu Mountain.

Gradually, Luger descended and stood on the roof, next to Mahama.

He discovered that, given his height and eyesight, he couldn't see the source of the beam of light at all; it was too far away. He could only see the top of its gushing light, with countless obstructions in between. If it weren't for the exaggerated noise it made, he probably wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

"Tianzhushan Mountain was probably shattered."

Kurt arrived in the yard at some point, and under the watchful eyes of Ruger and Mahama, he also jumped onto the roof.

The three of them looked into the distance, even though there was only a patch of light there.

The wizard Zorn remained standing high in the sky, his expression obscured.

"That direction..."

Mahama gave him an inquiring look; this time he had finally asked the right person.

“That’s the Three Flames Divine Palace. Based on my knowledge of the locations of several Heavenly Pillar Mountains, it should be on the edge of the Three Flames Divine Palace,” Kurt said calmly, his eyes never leaving the bursting light.
