This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 246 Steam Meditation: The Four-Ring Tower!

Beneath the tower where furnace fire channels intertwine.

The firelight illuminated Tak's face as he sat cross-legged on the dark earth of the spirit realm.

While examining the spoils of war, Tucker tossed the extraordinary storage bracelets of these Tier 3 and Tier 4 alien hunters one by one into the Magical Staff Hut.

As the Magical House gradually expands.

Tucker converted the Magic House into a fairly spacious storage room.

Many of the harvested items can be stored inside.

Instead of having to discard some things because there were too many, as before.

After collecting all the weapons, armor, and other items acquired this time...

"call……"

Tucker took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Forging this powerful legendary Demon Ring Staff has basically exhausted all my resources, even my dowry."

"Fortunately... the Legendary Demon Ring Staff is powerful enough."

Tucker smiled slightly.

"Also, this wave of gifts from these hunters is quite good."

"I received about 80,000 or 90,000 magic gold, which is a pretty good and substantial income."

Immediately, Tucker looked to the side at the fire demon Hertara, who was eating.

As it continues to devour flesh, souls, and the extraordinary characteristics of these superhumans, it draws upon primordial matter.

Hertara gradually solidified her demonic body.

A mere demon soul cannot unleash the full power of the fire demon Hertara.

It has condensed the body of a demon.

Only then can he unleash his many demonic methods.

The fire demon Hertara, who was feeding, had gradually recovered to level 24.

The legendary Demon Ring Staff is already at level 28.

This Demon Ring Staff is itself a Tier 3 Ring Staff.

It's relatively easy to reach level 30.

Once the Demon Ring Staff reaches level 30, you'll need to kill more enemies or level it up by nurturing it with the energy of the Tower.

However, Tucker possesses the legendary ability of "herding demons".

Tucker can hunt members of the Church of the Dark Sun by herding livestock.

This way, the Demon Ring Staff can be upgraded at a faster pace, and the Flame Demon Hertara can also regain her strength.

A true Tier 3 demon lord is quite formidable.

Even experts of the fourth-tier steam sequence are no match for a third-tier demon lord.

Tucker composed himself and looked around.

Following Tucker's previous cleanup.

Even when facing a sixth-tier hunter, relying on his strong background, he forced the opponent to retreat.

The surroundings were now completely quiet and safe.

Accompanied by a highly rhythmic forging process, and ripples of light spreading out like waves.

Tucker sat cross-legged on the dark earth of the spirit realm, entering a state of comprehension of the rune's mysteries.

Currently, Tucker has made significant progress in all five rune paths.

Soul: Five-ring state.

Light: Tri-ring state.

Wind system: Five-ring state.

Flame: Two-ring state.

Shadow: Two-ring state.

The Demon Ring Staff possesses a 5-ring foundation in all five aspects.

It can support Tucker's five rune secrets, each of which has reached the level of 15 rings.

The current rune ring state of this Tier 3 Legendary Ring Staff alone is enough for Tucker to use for many years.

This is also why it is a legendary staff, enough for many extraordinary individuals to use for a lifetime.

[Past Days - Radiant State]

This is the supernatural state that Tucker is currently primarily cultivating.

Naturally, "Light Rune Mysteries" and "Fire Rune Mysteries" are the main rune mysteries that Tucker is currently studying.

For mid-level wizards who are beginning to develop a transcendent state.

The more profound the rune mysteries one comprehends, the better.

Therefore, the higher the strength of the extraordinary state, the better.

You can say that!

The power of rune techniques plays a crucial role in the "transcendent state" of extraordinary individuals.

As for Tucker, who had already condensed his extraordinary state,

It possesses the profound mysteries of the Light Rune in its third ring state and the profound mysteries of the Fire Rune in its second ring state.

His own third-order [Old Days - Flame State] is much stronger than many fourth-order transcendent states.

He was in deep meditation and didn't know how much time had passed.

The sound of forging then faded away.

The massive elven forging outline then dissipated.

"Is the forging complete?"

Tucker opened his eyes, ending his brief training session, and looked at the towering ramparts not far away.

Immediately, Tucker gently squeezed his right hand.

"Buzz!"

The power of shadow rapidly spread and converged.

The dragon scales around Tucker transformed into a shadow wizard's robe, concealing the dragon scale patterns on his shoulders, arms, and other parts of his body, as well as the chainmail he wore.

"The old wizard's robes from before are now obsolete."

"When I have time, I should also look for some materials and forge a new wizard's robe."

"Hmm... the Shadow Spider Crystal of a fourth-tier Shadow Spider Lord is one of the best materials for forging wizard robes."

"And it's a very powerful Shadow Wizard's Robe."

"The legendary staff's runic magic has offset many of the negative effects of shadow power, and even neutralized a large number of shadow curses."

"Without the Shadow Curse, constantly pulling me into the Shadow Realm, I'm really not used to it."

"It will be better when we have forged a powerful fourth-tier high-ring Shadow Wizard Robe."

"Not only does it draw me closer to the source of shadow, but elite shadow creatures also attack me from time to time, giving me a meal or something."

"This way, it will be easier to raise the Spider Lord."

As he pondered silently, Tucker walked toward the Wall Tower.

…………

When Tucker saw Bevis Twain.

Bevis Twain has already donned the newly forged Legendary Demon Ring Staff.

I began experimenting with my own shadow magic.

Compared to Tucker's Demon Ring Staff, which amassed five runic secrets.

Bevis Twain's "Legendary Demon Ring Staff" is simply a "Shadow, Soul, Demon Ring Staff".

He only prepared the rune rings for the shadow and soul aspects.

However, Vaillant should not be underestimated either.

Various forms of shadow magic were mastered and used perfectly by Bevis Twain, as if they were just passing through a whirlwind.

He has a very skillful command of shadow magic.

Even Tucker intends to learn more about his own shadow magic from this person.

Before long, Bevis Twain, having experimented with shadow magic, nodded with great satisfaction.

"As expected of the legendary Demon Ring Staff, its power is indeed very strong."

"Its base power is two to three times that of a normal ring-shaped rune staff."

"Moreover, it can unleash the power of its rune mysteries to a greater extent."

"Although for me, this upper limit may not be achievable for a long time."

At this point, Bevis Twain smiled.

Then Bevis Twain looked at Tucker.

"Tucker, this time, the legendary staff is complete."

"After a period of adjustment, the Meditation Tower and the Second Ecological War will basically begin."

"You're highly valued by the higher-ups in this second ecological war."

"Meanwhile, they've already found a site for the tower for you."

"That place... is one of the safest places in Saint-Land."

With this version of Bevis Twain's explanation.

Tucker raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded gently.

"clear!"

After the last ecological war of the "Dark Sun Faith".

The hand of the blasphemer mercilessly hammers the faith of the Dark Sun.

The amount of the bounty on Tucker's black market, or more accurately, the amount of the bounty on Tucker by the Church of the Dark Sun.

From over 60 Magic Gold, it skyrocketed to 132 Magic Gold overnight.

Such a massive amount of magic gold would tempt even Tucker himself, let alone others.

Previously, Tucker had confronted a Tier 6 alien hunter.

If it weren't for the gaze of Archbishop Regan Joe.

That sixth-tier alien hunter is definitely going to take the risk and give it a try.

Meanwhile, during this period, many fanatical followers of the Dark Sun were causing trouble near Lamor.

There were even outrageous tactics like the "mutton bomb".

This was once Tucker's favorite tactic to use on his enemies.

As a result, this group of fanatical followers of the Dark Sun used it on Tucker himself.

This made Tucker curse inwardly, thinking that these followers of the evil god were utterly inhuman.

The unrest caused by repeated harassment and attacks from the followers of the Dark Sun God.

This forced law enforcement agencies in the St. Land Tower area to deploy a large number of sheriffs to maintain order near the La Mor Tower.

Continuous chaos and turmoil.

In addition, the reputation of the fire-breathing wizard "Andre" has been growing during this period.

Those members of the Dark Sun Church probably figured out the identity of "Andre" that Tak was pretending to be.

basically.

Tucker's identity as "Andrei" is almost exposed.

The risk of identity exposure!

A huge reward!

Hatred from a large number of fanatical followers of the Church of the Dark Sun!

This makes it unsuitable for Tucker to be permanently stationed in the Lamor Lighthouse area.

If they force a garrison, the Church of the Dark Sun might, at a heavy cost, launch a forced invasion of the Lamor Long Street area to assassinate Tucker.

Although the Church of the Dark Sun will suffer heavy losses by doing this.

But at that time, Tucker himself will also be in mortal danger.

In addition, the site for the massive ecological steam tower constructed by the ancient meditative stars has been selected.

So, the top floor of the high tower district of Saint Land City-State will be the location where Tucker will be officially stationed.

after all!

The top level of the Saint-Land Tower area is the core of Saint-Land's vast steam ecosystem.

It is the place where the protection of Saint Rand is strongest, and also the safest area.

It is very suitable for a superhuman like Tucker, who is easily targeted, to stay and train for a long time.

The three discussed witchcraft for several hours.

Bevis Twain and Earl Osling both rose and left.

After digesting the magical insights he had shared with the two, Tucker quietly left the Barrier Tower.

Baggins will need some time to process this gain inside the fortified tower.

Once Baggins completes his promotion and becomes a semi-master blacksmith, and masters more advanced blacksmithing techniques, Tucker will come to Baggins again to forge his dragon scale armor.

…………

The next day.

The Saint Land Steam Daily reported on this series of legendary equipment forging incidents.

This is a centaur-forged heroic spirit, an elite forged heroic spirit.

The forging of two genuine legendary pieces of equipment.

Furthermore, newspapers suggested that the incident might be related to blasphemers.

This event quickly sparked a craze for legendary equipment throughout Saint Land.

For several days in a row.

The Saint Land Daily has published numerous articles about the characteristics of legendary equipment.

Such as!

Legendary equipment has unlimited potential for growth.

Legendary equipment possesses unique characteristics exclusive to the blacksmith.

Legendary equipment possesses characteristics such as being able to withstand the ravages of time and being extremely difficult to destroy.

As the craze for legendary equipment spread throughout Saint Land.

The "Legend of the Demon" also quietly spread among the residents of some neighborhoods near the underground black market.

During this period, the residents here...

Occasionally, one can see demons hunting down superhumans.

but!

Currently, Saint Rand is in a state of war.

This area near the underground city is itself a zone for supernatural activities by those without official status.

If you randomly stop a passerby, nine times out of ten they might be a wanted criminal.

The probability of it being a vampire or a werewolf is not small.

Robberies, assassinations, and ambushes are common occurrences here.

It was even more chaotic than the original Lamor Nest District.

In this semi-combat zone where death, darkness, and bloodshed intertwine.

The rumors of demonic possession didn't cause much of a stir.

That demon!

It is naturally the demon Hertara that Tucker herded.

After the legendary forging was completed.

Tucker did not return to the tower on Lamore Street to stand guard.

Instead, he returned to his safe haven, where he began a tranquil state of cultivation and a period of tending to the Demon Ring Staff.

Every day, Tucker peacefully engages in his meditation practice.

Simultaneously, demon herding is carried out.

The fire demon Hertara can leap directly into the hearth fire tunnel, venturing deep underground to hunt down sinful souls.

Hunting is how the fire demon Hertara constantly recovers its strength.

This also allows Tucker's Demon Ring Staff to be continuously upgraded.

Meanwhile, Tucker was in seclusion, undergoing rigorous training.

They've entered their favorite phase of steady development.

The profound mysteries of the Light Rune and the Fire Rune are also progressing steadily.

Before we knew it, most of the ash cycle had quietly passed.

…………

Tower District!

Today marks the transition between the gray night period and the gray day.

The clouds above the sky intertwined with the steam and ash of Saint Land.

As the cold wind blows, waves of steam and ash dance on the towering city walls.

At this moment, the city walls of this tower district were filled with extraordinary individuals, but most of them were young couples.

Everyone turned eastward, scrutinizing and waiting.

As the cold moon in the sky slowly disappeared.

The thick steam and ash fog seemed to be parted by an invisible hand.

Beside the Saint Land Wasteland, there are towering, rugged mountains, vast ancient forests extending down from the mountains, and an endless, desolate wasteland beyond the forests.

Within the portal opened by a vast expanse of steam and ash, a scene unfolded slowly before everyone's eyes, like a scroll painting.

woo woo woo...

On the desolate plains, a steam train heralds the dawn, billowing thick steam and emitting a stirring whistle across the vast wilderness.

at the same time.

A huge, golden sun slowly rose, casting its golden light upon the towers and forests of Saint Land from the horizon.

The entire Saint Land was bathed in this golden ocean world.

Even Tucker couldn't help but open his palm and forcefully grasp the golden light that looked like crystal in his hand.

The scenery was beautiful, and everyone was captivated by it.

Even the earth-dwelling men on the outer side of the St. Land's walls, who were using earth magic to build up the rock walls, stopped their work and began to gaze at the rising sun that only comes once a month.

Tucker was immersed in the rhythm of the light.

Even the profound mysteries of the Light Runes were slightly affected.

Tucker couldn't help but immerse himself in it, quietly gaining insights.

I don't know how much time has passed.

A soothing and calming voice gently roused Tucker from his side.

"Although I really don't want to disturb your contemplation, you are clearly not suited to stay here for too long."

Although it interrupted Tucker's meditation, the voice was like a runic bridge, allowing Tucker to perfectly transition from meditation to recovery.

Tucker slowly opened his eyes and looked to the side.

Bishop Martha Clark, dressed in a white robe of the Church of the Three-Eyed God, with a peaceful and serene expression, stood quietly to the side, scrutinizing Tucker.

"Your Excellency Bishop Martha!"

Tucker, dressed in a plain third-tier gray wizard's robe scavenged from the spoils of war, bowed to Bishop Martha Clark.

"Your talent is truly enviable. With so much noise and chaos around you, can you really enter a state of rune enlightenment anytime, anywhere?"

Even bishops were somewhat surprised by Tucker's runic talent.

After thinking for a moment, Tucker said seriously.

"The runes are with me!"

Tucker's answer touched Bishop Martha Clark slightly.

"Our Church of the Three-Eyed God, the Holy Land Temple, is truly fortunate to have a chosen one like you."

Bishop Martha Clark then spoke again.

"Have you seen the address of the Meditation Tower?"

"I already went to check it out when I came over."

As he spoke, Tucker looked into the distance at the Four Rings Tower, which was taller than the surrounding towers, standing over 400 meters high.

Tucker originally thought that being able to have the top of a three-ringed tower as his meditation tower ecosystem would be quite good.

Unexpectedly, the Church of the Three-Eyed God and the powerful figures of the Holy Land Tower were so generous.

They actually gave him the top area of ​​a four-ringed tower as his meditation tower.

This 400-meter-high Fourth Ring Tower.

The area within 50 meters above is Tucker's exclusive zone.

At the same time, the ecological control rights of the entire Fourth Ring Tower will also belong to Tucker.

Even several of the three ring towers located close to Tucker's tower have been ordered to cease their proactive control over the steam ecosystem.

In other words, other towers in the surrounding area don't even have the right to compete with the Tower for ecological characteristics.

And all of this.

All of this is preparation for Tucker to build the [Old Days Meditation Ecosystem Tree].

have to say.

This time it was between St. Rand and the Church of the Three-Eyed God.

They gave Tucker, who was favored by the gods, plenty of face.

And the significant reward Tucker is about to give them—the Star of Ancient Meditation—will certainly not disappoint them!

Tucker knew better than anyone else.

This old-time, steam-powered, meditative star.

It's a brand new version that perfectly fits the steam age and pioneers a completely new meditation ecosystem for the steam age!
