I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Mithril and the Ascetic

Not paying attention to Stellan's expression, Li Si devoted all his attention to the precious materials in front of him.

 After making an agreement with Uncle Joyce, Li Si was ready to leave Bingfeng City.

 But since you've come, you can't take no reward at all.

Li Si didn't intend to ask for the magic props from the Kingdom of Dillon. Even the collection of the Ice Castle Palace could not compare to the magic workshop warehouse of [Flame of Judgment].

 In this case, it would be better for Stellan to prepare some metal materials unique to the Kingdom of Dillon.

　　I didn't expect Stellan to have prepared so much!

    No ordinary metals were seen at all.

  Tempered and forged cold iron blocks, star sand that exudes a faint light, bright red and pure red copper, etc.

These are relatively rare special metal materials, which are more precious than ordinary copper ore and iron ore, and have a higher affinity for extraordinary power. They are widely used in the forging of low-level and intermediate-level magic equipment, even in the more top-level forging. There are also applications in it.

These materials filled more than half of the box.

Strang took the ball and held it in his hand.

Silver-blue fine gold is heavy and extremely strong, and can greatly improve the sharpness and hardness of weapons. It is a top-level magic metal of the same level as mithril.

 Generally, when making magic equipment, adding a few grams of mithril can greatly improve the magic affinity of the equipment, and is also the basis for advanced magic equipment.

 The magic power used flows smoothly through this piece of silver metal, with almost no obstruction or ambiguity felt.

 It was actually the situation where Lukar was controlled by the abyss lord and forcibly took over his body that had a big impact on him.

In addition to these, there are many magic gems that sparkle with various colors of light.

 But the piece of mithril in Li Si's hand weighs a full pound.

  No matter how valuable it is, for Stellan, it is just a pile of useless stones.

While being so widely used, the production of mithril is indeed quite rare, and can only be found in a few associated mines of magic metals.

 Exchanging it for asylum is the most important thing.

Even if he requested the support of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church, Stellan still hoped to get the secret protection of the Death Secret Order.

 It would take many years to accumulate so much precious magic metal, even for the mineral-rich Kingdom of Dillon.

 Almost all high-level magic equipment needs to add a little bit of mithril to increase the magic affinity of the equipment.

 The reason why I say this is because, apart from the special creations of gods and some unique existences, mithril is the metal with the highest affinity for magic.

Li Si opened a wooden box on the top, opened the lid, and saw a standard rectangular piece of silver metal.

“That gentleman has agreed to your request and will come to see you in the next few days.”

 In addition to the piece in Li Si's hand, there are two wooden boxes in front of him that also contain mithril.

“Whether you can get that person's approval depends on you.”

 He felt an extremely obscure but sharp and powerful aura from it.

 Lee Si threw a gray round bead to Stellan.

Um?

Stran was a little surprised. Is it so fast?

 Could it be that there really are digital legends in the Death Secret Order, and they could invite a legend to come see me so quickly?

 There are several other magic metals of the same level.

  Mithril is said to be a name discovered and given by dwarves, which means "silver full of mystery".

 “Well, that's good.”

 It is indeed mithril!

 Mithril is an extremely precious magical metal with a silvery white appearance. It is a metal that is stronger than steel but as light as goose feathers.

Li Si looked at the harvest in front of him with great satisfaction. He put it all into the space ring and looked at Stellan with a much kinder look.

 It is a legendary existence, and the aura of the legendary strongman who took Lukar away a few days ago is not the same!

 He has a lot of things to do, and the Kingdom of Dillon also needs him. There must be no accidents now.

Li Si looked at Stellan who was standing aside and said with a smile.

Li Si's fingers holding the piece of metal exerted some force, but only left a shallow mark on the metal piece.

In addition to the forging of magic equipment, mithril is also an indispensable material in many magic researches. It is also used in advanced magic puppets, magic arrays, etc.

 There was a smile on Li Si's face. In Stellan's opinion, this was probably the best mood he had ever seen this mysterious guy in.

Dark star steel, with a faint star-like light shining in it. Legend has it that this is a product from outside the world of Gaia. It is extremely malleable and tolerant, and is one of the best forging base materials.

 “I wonder if Mr. Moriarty is still satisfied?”

Watching the man in black robe put away these priceless metals in front of him, Stellan on the side did not blink an eye.

 Gently took it out. The weight of this piece of silver metal was only half that of the same volume of black iron.

This is also the reason why Mithril is so precious. Few people would choose to trade Mithril with gold coins. Instead, they would choose treasures of the same level to barter.

Although there are a lot of them, the most precious things in front of Li Si are not these, but the treasures contained in other special iron boxes.

Dragon-patterned iron, which is naturally formed with patterns similar to dragon scales, is the best material for forging shields and armors. It also has certain magical properties and can absorb magic elements and recover damage on its own.

"This is the gentleman's token. Just keep it."

　　It's not that Li Si is weak in will, it's just that the other party gave him too much.

 Stellan's own strength is not weak, so he feels that he can't go wrong.

Holding the beads tightly in his hands, Stellan felt a little shocked.

Moriarty didn't lie, there were actually other legendary powerful men in the Death Secret Order.

Stellan will soon have no time to pay attention to this matter. A legendary strongman is about to arrive, and he still needs to think carefully about how to satisfy the boss and obtain his asylum.

Li Si looked at Stellan who was deep in thought, and without waiting any longer, teleported directly out of the Garza warehouse.

 Outside Bingfeng City, above the wasteland.

 Perhaps the winter in the southern part of the continent is about to pass by this time, but it is still the depth of winter in the Dillon Kingdom.

Thick snow covered everything in front of us, and almost everything we could see was white.

Even the main roads leading to other places in Bingfeng City are covered, and there are almost no traces.

Li Si turned around, looked at the dark gray Ice Peak City not far away and the Ice Castle Palace shining in the sun, and headed east without any nostalgia.

Everything in Ice Peak City is just a thing of the past, and Li Si will continue to move forward.

In the plain in the middle of Dillon Palace, on the land covered with white snow, a cold and biting north wind blew. Except for ice-type monsters, few monsters were willing to wander out at this time. This is the great plain in the middle of Dillon Palace. Except for the place where Ice Peak City is located, the terrain has almost no undulations, so the cold wind from the north blows straight through this area.

 Before the arrival of spring in April, there will be this cold and extreme climate here.

However, compared to the northern ice plains that are covered with ice and snow all year round, humans can still survive here, but at this time they are just like monsters, staying at home to spend their days.

  Small human villages and rising smoke can be seen at regular intervals on the plains in the central part of the Dillon Kingdom.

 At this time, we were not far from a small village.

A row of deep footprints were engraved on the white-paper-like snow. It was Li Si who was wearing thin clothes.

The north wind blew fine snow particles across my cheeks, causing a stinging pain like a knife.

With a calm face, Li Si looked up at the village not far away. Instead of walking in the direction of the village, Li Si continued to move towards the east.

 He was not wearing thick warm cotton clothes or tough windproof leather clothes, but a simple layer of thin clothes.

The north wind blew up the corners of Li Si's clothes, and you could see his bluish-white complexion and the purple-red frostbite on his arms.

I don't know how many days have passed since I left Bingfeng City. Li Si was walking in the cold snow wearing this kind of clothes.

Every day, we travel eastward for half a day, and the remaining half of the day is spent hunting monsters or practicing martial arts.

 When night falls, Li Si will light a bonfire and devote himself to studying and calculating arcane knowledge.

The monotonous life day after day is very difficult, boring, simple, and samey.

If ordinary people continue to live like this, they will even be driven crazy.

 But Li Si didn't care. After getting over the initial discomfort, Li Si entered a deep state of tranquility.

The impetuousness and desires faced in Bright City and Ice Peak City were gradually washed away, and all that was left was the desire for extraordinary power.

As previously planned, Li Si was practicing asceticism and began to temper his body.

Asceticism is a very extreme way of practice for monks. It pursues self-control, self-discipline, rejection of material and physical temptations, endurance of harsh environmental oppression, and exercise by enduring physical pain and harsh environmental oppression. Self-endurance and restraint of one's own desires.

Hence this way of practice is also called ascetic or ascetic practice.

 This is a very painful process, and even among professional monks, only a few can pass this practice.

But without exception, all those who can practice asceticism are mentally persevering, able to achieve spiritual breakthroughs, and have unique resistance to all kinds of mental and soul temptations and negative effects.

Li Si's current practice is not a complete "ascetic" practice, because "asceticism" also includes enduring hunger and even reducing water intake.

This will make Li Si physically weak and is not conducive to his purpose of training his body.

 But it doesn't matter much, after all, it still has the effect of tempering the mind. Li Si can clearly feel the gradual progress and strength of his own spirit these days.

Even the soul damage caused by the backlash of [Dream Refraction] has almost healed.

However, besides enduring the pain, Li Si wore thin clothes for another reason.

 That is to stay as close to nature as possible and exercise your body.

Even if ordinary people wear thick clothes, it is impossible to move forward for a long time in this ice and snow.

 But Li Si's physical strength is now equivalent to that of a silver-level warrior. Only in this way can he push his body to its limit as much as possible, encourage the body to heal and repair itself as much as possible, and at the same time develop a certain degree of resistance.

On Li Si's panel, new prompt information will appear every once in a while.

  [Due to environmental factors, your body is in a state of [frostbite]]

  [You take 100 points of cold damage! ]

  [Your resistance to cold increases slightly! ]

  [Due to environmental factors, your body is in a state of [frostbite]]

  [䱱suffered 98 points of cold damage! ]

  [Your resistance to cold increases slightly! ]—

Li Si didn't pay attention to the information on the system panel. He was just immersed in thinking about arcana and didn't care about the pain from his body at all.

 This is the fastest way to obtain cold resistance expertise summarized by previous players, and it is more convenient than obtaining other resistance expertise.

 As long as the body is kept in a cold state for a long time, the only thing to pay attention to is not to let the health value return to zero.

 But that was also in the previous game, and players could completely adjust the pain percentage to zero.

Li Si is different now. He must bear the pain completely.

 When he first started exercising, the accumulated coldness was still very low, and with Li Si's physique, it didn't even cause any harm.

But as time went by, the temperature in the body was gradually taken away by the north wind, and the accumulated frostbite began to become obvious. Li Si's face turned pale, his lips were chapped, and the bone-chilling chill began to stimulate his spirit.

 My body became heavier and heavier, and even my intuition began to feel a little numb.

 The loss of health caused by frostbite has gradually increased from 1 point to 10 points, and then to the current 100 points.

 This is even after Li Si just obtained [Low Level Cold Resistance] yesterday.

 Otherwise, even if one's own HP has exceeded 10,000, it will not be able to keep up with the damage that only occurs every few minutes.

While enduring the pain from the north wind and severe cold, Li Si gradually adapted.

 He found that while walking on the road, it was a better time to ponder the arcana in his mind.

 The boredom and cold made him concentrate even more, and he even forgot about the physical pain.

However, Li Si will not practice blindly.

Whenever his health drops below half his health, Li Si will stop and look for a place to raise a bonfire to dispel the cold. He will take a sip of hot soup to dispel the cold as much as possible and restore his health.

 In other words, Li Si has enough life-restoring potions now, otherwise it may not have such a good effect.

  It can be said that Li Si is practicing in krypton gold now. Anyway, the materials he put in the storage ring are sufficient.

 This is one of the reasons why he did not fully adhere to the ascetic practice.

Li Si can also wait until his health drops to a lower level before recovering, but then he may face certain dangers when encountering emergencies such as the attack of Warcraft.

 Allow yourself some room at all times!

This is what Li Si felt when he faced the demon prince Demogorgon in Ice Peak City.

If he had taken the initiative in a daze at that time, he would have bumped into Demogorgon's hands.

Li Si couldn't guarantee that his teleportation ring and shadow amulet would be able to save his life in front of that person.

 So Li Si also decided before this practice that when training himself, he would not take these two trump cards into account to avoid the mentality of dependence.

Li Si moved toward the east step by step. The front was completely white and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The former small village has disappeared, as if there is only the sound and shadow of Li Si left in the world, so lonely.

Li Si didn't care about this, after all, the scenery had been like this these past few days.

Ding~

At this moment, a slightly different sound came from the system.
