Chapter 52 Promotion
Hila lowered her head, thinking silently about Roland's explanation based on the books she had read, and followed Roland.

While directing the Gray Crow to continue exploring, Roland also slowly walked through the undead laboratory.

After passing through several rooms and going deeper into the periphery, Roland successfully arrived at his destination.

A branch warehouse located at the outermost periphery.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, a large number of different elemental fluctuations came out from the door.

Roland pulled Hela into the warehouse and quickly closed the door again.

After closing the door again, Roland turned around and looked inside the warehouse.

Although it is only a small warehouse at the outermost part, the reserves in this warehouse are still quite amazing.

Hundreds of shelves were divided into plant, biological and mineral categories, and almost all of them were filled with various rare and precious extraordinary materials.

In addition to the shelves, there are also a large number of boxes piled up in the corners of the warehouse, which naturally store relatively ordinary extraordinary materials.

Roland walked to the nearest shelf and touched the rotten extraordinary herbs on the shelf with some heartache.

Although the storage technology of this warehouse is powerful, the shelves and boxes are tightly sealed and have time arrays to prevent decay.

However, after more than a thousand years, problems began to arise with some seals and magic arrays.

Without the protection of the magic circle, perishable items such as herbs, biological parts, and eggs now completely rot into a heap.

However, minerals are a little better. Even if they lose their protection, most of them still remain normal.

Roland did not hesitate and immediately checked every container and box in the warehouse. He rescued some containers and boxes that were damaged but the contents were not completely destroyed. At the same time, he took statistics on the storage in the warehouse.

Roland and Hela worked together for several days to finally complete the inventory of the warehouse.

Red steel is a relatively rare supernatural metal. But if you mix a pound or two of it into armor, it will not only have extremely strong defensive power, but also have resistance to weak elements and can withstand some common elemental attacks.

Then, there are almost two tons of red steel in this warehouse.

Although apart from red steel, the remaining extraordinary metals are not as abundant in quantity, most of them are measured in kilograms.

However, although the quantity was small, the variety was quite complete, which was enough for Roland and Hela to splurge.

As for herbs, dark element herbs are the most in number and variety. Although there are herbs of other elements, their number and variety are relatively small.

If dark elements were used for advancement, Roland and Hela would have all the ritual materials needed to advance to the third ring.

As for biological creatures, there were not many left. All the parts removed from the extraordinary creatures were destroyed and rotted away. Only the magic pet eggs had five alive ones among a pile of dead eggs.

Although their species are unclear, the fact that they have survived to this day speaks volumes about their value.

If Roland moved all the low-level extraordinary materials in the warehouse and sold them, it would be worth tens of millions of gold coins at a conservative estimate.

As for the rare and precious extraordinary materials in the warehouse, they cannot be measured by money.

However, Roland could only think about this idea.

Since extraordinary materials are jointly monopolized by various major forces, he dare not sell them on a large scale.

After all, if there are too many exports, it will be easy to be targeted. At that time, many extraordinary people would rather rob directly than buy. Therefore, Roland became rich, but not completely rich.

After counting the extraordinary materials and reinforcing the storage, Roland used the space ring to load some of the materials he would need.

Then, he took Hela to the training room inside the ruins, tinkered with it for most of the day, and restarted the training room.

After restarting the training room and having a rich elemental environment, Roland and Hela began their boring life of meditation and study.

With sufficient materials, Roland could finally stop caring about the cost-effectiveness and just pile up the materials, using the best meditation-assisted array to create various expensive alchemical potions to assist in cultivation.

And Hela could finally let go and practice various spells freely in the training room.

Anyway, with Hela's level, it is impossible for her to destroy the training room no matter what. Moreover, even if it is damaged, Hela can just change it. After all, the ruins are so big that there are plenty of training rooms.

In addition to daily training, Roland would also command the Gray Crows to explore and draw a rough map of the ruins, searching for other valuable areas of the ruins.

In Roland's first month in the ruins, he found two more resource warehouses and an outer library.

There was nothing much to say about the resource warehouse. The types and quantities of resources were similar to those in the first warehouse. In the outer library, Roland found a large number of basic extraordinary books.

Although more than a thousand years had passed and these books were already outdated, the basic contents were still common and valuable, so Roland ran several times, moved all the books out, and gave them to Hela.

Let her watch him learn first, and then ask him if she doesn't understand something.

In an open space, in an environment filled with dark elements, Roland was meditating silently with his eyes closed.

Around him, a sophisticated magic circle was absorbing the surrounding dark elements, continuously improving and stabilizing the dense dark element environment around Roland.

As Roland meditated, the dark elements around him continued to flow into his body and were continuously converted into magic power.

Afterwards, these magical powers merged into his body and began to drive his physical and spiritual evolution.

Roland has been doing this for a long time.

There are basically no surprises in the promotion of spellcasters, and everything goes smoothly.

Roland had reached the peak of the second ring when he left the Northland. After several months of accumulation, Roland's body and spirit finally broke through the limits of the second ring.

As Roland began to advance to the third ring, the dark elements around him poured into his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the concentration of dark elements in the surroundings dropped rapidly, the formation that Roland had set up on the side was activated.

After the formation was activated, a bucket of black liquid placed on the formation began to boil. A large amount of dark elements floated out of the liquid and poured into Roland's body under the powerful suction force, helping him to advance.

This promotion lasted for most of the day.

But when Roland opened his eyes, the black liquid in the wooden barrel beside him had become clear and transparent, and the leaked spiritual power flashed in his eyes.

He frowned, and while trying to calm his somewhat restless spirit, he also cast a third-ring spell to consume the excess magic power in his body.

Third-level spell—prophecy.
