A year and a half later.
Inside the mage tower.
An Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
[Attribute point +1]
Add the newly acquired attribute points to your [Intelligence] attribute.
[Intelligence +1]
[Intelligence: 521]
A year and a half of retreat.
An Kai received a total of 377 attribute points.
This also allowed his attribute value to cross the "461" point where spells can be upgraded.
Now, it has crossed the "521" node for increasing the spell level.
Four attributes, [Intelligence: 521], and the other three attributes also have [520] points.
Requirement 1 of the Mage Tower, all four attributes have been increased to 500 points, which has been completed.
The Mage Tower requires 2, mastering the blacksmithing profession, and has already mastered it.
Only the Mage Tower requires 3, [Enhancing] a [+6] piece of equipment of any quality, but it is stuck at the [+5] step and cannot be upgraded no matter what.
An Kai has also experimented with low-grade magic stones, first-order magic cores, second-order magic cores, and even third-order magic cores.
No matter how hard I try, I can't meet the requirements.
An Kai took a look at his 4599 skill points.
With a thought, I chose to maximize the five spells that I could improve, and a sub-professional skill [Forging].
[Skill Points-3600]
[Meditation proficiency +600]
[Fireball proficiency +600]
[Freezing skill proficiency +600]
[Summoning proficiency +600]
[French Armor Proficiency +600]
[Forging proficiency +600]
…
【Meditation Lv23『580/580』】
[Fireball Lv23『580/580』]
[Freeze Level 23『580/580』]
[Summon Lv23『580/580』]
[French Armor Level 23 "580/580"]
[Forging Level 23『580/580』]
…
After some improvement.
Ankai only has 999 skill points left and 424 low-grade magic stones.
Originally there were 4,710 low-grade magic stones, but An Kai had insufficient skill points, so he exchanged them for 4,000 when he last upgraded his spell level.
Coupled with the wear and tear of the [Beast Meat Refining Station] over the past year and a half, only the last 424 low-grade magic stones are left.
After a year and a half of retreat, Ankai Resources is about to bottom out.
The original 633 second-level magic cores have all been converted into skill points. All of them have been converted into skill points.
Today, Ankai only has one and a half years left to accumulate magic cores, and has accumulated 401 third-level magic cores.
The third-level magic core can be exchanged for 3 skill points at a time, which can be exchanged for more than 1,200 skill points.
Four digits may seem like a lot, but compared to the 3,600 skill points required to upgrade Ankai, it is a drop in the bucket...
Although it was not exchanged for skill points, An Kai still used the third-level magic core to upgrade his [Meditative Rod] to [+5] before...
[Excellent] quality [Forging] allows Ankai to significantly reduce unnecessary operations and free up his hands.
However, there is a lot of loss. Among them, [ordinary] quality equipment can be strengthened with second-level magic cores or low-grade magic stones, including An Kai's [Pretender's Mask], which can be strengthened to [+5] with low-grade magic stones...
However, [high-grade] quality equipment requires third-order magic core or mid-grade magic stone to strengthen it.
As for An Kai, he didn't have a middle-grade magic stone, so he chose the third-level magic core.
As for [fine quality] equipment, you need a fourth-level magic core or a mid-level magic stone.
An Kai has neither of these, so his [Brute Force Staff] has not been strengthened even once.
To strengthen the [Brute Force Staff], An Kai probably needs Hanks' help.
He saw through the side plot that for the past year and a half, this old guy Hanks was very comfortable in the outer city of Chaos City in front of the underground emperor.
When you get out of seclusion, it's time to settle accounts with him!
After promotion, An Kai clicked on his personal panel.
[Level Lv1: 10/10 "Lock"]

[Endurance: 520『426+94』]
[Stamina: 520『426+94』]

[Spells "Top Grade -": Meditation Lv23 "580/580", Fireball Lv23 "580/580", Freezing Lv23 "580/580", Summoning Lv23 "580/580", Spell Armor Lv23 "580/580" 】
[Skill "Excellent": Forging Lv23 "580/580"]
[Identity: Wanderer Guide, "Elite NPC"]
Being in the mage tower and checking the numerical changes on the panel every day is his greatest pleasure...
With [Meditation] reaching [Lv23], Ankai now only needs 12 hours to obtain an attribute point, which has been reduced by two hours compared to the 14 hours when he first entered [Lv21].
In addition, if you hold the [+5] [Meditation Rod], you can reduce another 5 minutes...
It’s not even close…
With a thought, the [Fireball Technique] materialized successfully, and the diameter had reached five meters.
Compared with the [Fireball Technique] when first entering [Lv21], the diameter has increased by two meters.
With each level up, [Fireball Technique] can increase its diameter by one meter.
If things continue like this, it would be easy to destroy a city with a single [Fireball Technique].
[Freezing Technique] was upgraded to [Lv23]. The biggest change was that the three-dimensional ice around Ankai's body became 3 meters, which was three times more than the original 1 meter.
With a thought, I actively activated the [Magic Armor] armor. My feet and right leg had turned into a deep black state. If I looked carefully, I could see some red presence...
The temperature actually increased. With just a simple push, the ice layer under the armored feet showed signs of melting...
You know, the ice layer evolved from An Kai's freezing technique!
As for the sub-professional [Forging]...
Huh? !
After An Kai sensed it, his eyes lit up.
How to strengthen to [+6], he finally got the answer.
This answer was closely related to his [Summoning], and he also understood why the Mage Tower Mission 2 included learning about the [Summoning] spell.
Just because of [+6], what is needed is the magic core of the [Elite Level] Warcraft!
In other words, if An Kai now wants to complete the task.
Only by summoning [Elite Level] Warcraft can the last requirement of the Mage Tower be fulfilled.
It goes without saying that before entering the mage tower, An Kai could summon an [Elite Level] Warcraft from time to time, although it did not increase his combat power.
But it’s also a sense of accomplishment.
However, when he entered the mage tower, the [Elite Level] Warcraft was not summoned even once.
An Kai even thought to himself: "Could this group of elite monsters have colluded?"
Full of expectations for [Summoning], An Kai made a thought and used [Summoning] that reached [Lv23]...
The familiar six-pointed star array floats beneath your feet, and mana elements surge...
[Beetlebreaker: Lv23]
"Where is this?"
[Breaking Beetle] Just when I was confused, I heard a gust of wind!
boom!
The [Brute Force Staff] fell suddenly, and the nearly two-meter-long earth-brown bug was smashed into mud...
"Waste! There is no magic core!"
How great are the expectations, how great are the disappointments...
In the mage tower, An Kai felt that his tolerance for loneliness was almost reaching the critical point.
The strength has been improving, but there is no chance to show it. This feeling is too uncomfortable...
"The twenty-eighth damn orc prince! It's all up to you!"
…
The inner city of Chaos City.
The twenty-eighth prince of the orcs, who was protected by 18 fourth-level professionals and two newly invited fifth-level professionals from the orc kingdom, suddenly sneezed...
"Who missed me?"
The twenty-eighth orc prince muttered and looked at the inner city of Chaos City that had not been breached in the past two years.
The light in his eyes flickered, and he had other thoughts in his mind.
During this period, the seven countries around the desert, not counting the Duke of Bucklin, and the other six countries, except for the Kingdom of Shake, were still struggling to support themselves, and the other five principalities were on the verge of falling apart.
Countless citizens and professionals fled, some fled to other places, and some plunged into the desert.
This shattered the twenty-eighth orc prince's idea of developing quietly in the desert. According to the current trend, it won't be long before the desert will become the center of the seven surrounding countries.
The twenty-eighth orc prince was also wondering, why did their alien instigation suddenly work so well?
All this seemed like someone pushed them from behind.
And in the seven countries surrounding the desert, when the turmoil begins, there is always a figure accompanying it...
