472 Real name
Those source energy clusters with different qualities, which seem to contain infinite mysteries and cosmic truths, are like mirrors at this time, invariably reflecting Gordon himself.
Of course, what Gordon saw the Source Energy Light Cluster show was not a specific image such as black hair and black eyes, sharp eyes, and mage robes, but a deeper thing that could show personal characteristics from the perspective of the soul - real name.
A true name is a special mark that every living being possesses to represent the existence of its only soul. Depending on the individual, a real name can be a text, a picture, a number, an abstract symbol, a sound, or a complex combination of all of the above.
For ordinary people, their real names are useless to them, and they don't even know what their real names are. Perhaps some people who have serious wishes to fulfill will use their real names to ask for help from the devil or gods.
But for the caster, the real name is very important.
Many summoning and curse spells require the caster's own and other creatures' real names. There are also various contracts, most of which are also based on the absolute rules that the real name represents, and can only be written.
However, these are only the primary functions of the real name.
As the mage's arcane skills become more and more sophisticated, step by step, and explore deeper into the magic web, the obstacles encountered will become more and more. The deeper consciousness digs into the world of energy, the more difficult it becomes.
Why is the Seven-Ring Mage qualified to be called "high-level"? That's because between the sixth and seventh layers of the magic net, there is a ninety percent mage who investigates his life. Nor can it be bridged.
If the obstacle between the first and third layers of the magic net is like a thick layer of cowhide, and the obstacle between the fourth and sixth layers of the magic net is as strong as refining iron armor, then it is necessary to break through from the sixth layer of the magic net to the seventh layer of the magic net. It's like tearing down a 10-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall.
To destroy this wall, the mage needs to "condense into his true name".
A real name is a symbol that expresses the individual characteristics of a creature from the soul and spirit. Compared with the physical characteristics of appearance, body type, gender, and race, it can better reflect the existence of a creature in the entire multiverse.
A mage learns arcane art, both as a journey to explore the world and as a process of self-discovery. As they grow in strength, the mages will come to realize that their true name is to them. It is not just a special indescribable symbol, but a mark that can manifest itself at the level of the law.
Then, the mage is on a certain day. After completely condensing your real name, you will get a leap forward. At this time, they can attach their real names to the magic web. In this vast and endless network of energy, establish a territory of your own.
Then. A mage who has condensed into his true name is able to extract more source energy from the magic web every day. In order to prepare more spells, and the spells cast will have their own unique characteristics, and the combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level.
It is also because of the attachment of the real name to the magic net, so the spiritual power of the mage will be more closely combined with the magic net, so that it is easier to explore forward and break through the barriers between the next layer of the magic net.
There are many benefits to becoming your real name, but to accomplish this achievement. It's not easy, either.
A long time ago, when the entire arcane system and theory were not perfect. The mages had little clue how to get their real names. Most of the lucky ones who are lucky enough to become their real names do so through adventures or epiphany between life and death.
Clearly, inefficient, high-risk, and imitable approaches are not advisable and not suitable for large-scale scaling.
Then, it was time for the glorious and great Magic Empire of Netherduran to come into play.
Before the Nethers had even developed their small city-state into an empire that dominated the material realm, the Nether Arcanists had already found a way to popularize and help the mages become their true names.
That's the Mage's Tower.
For thousands of years, countless mages have built countless mage towers in this multiverse. These mage towers are different in size, height, and style, and have very different internal structures, but there are two things, but they are unified.
First of all, the Mage Tower must be built on top of the Fountain of Mana. Secondly, the room on the top floor of each mage tower is a quiet room.
The Ashram is not just a room, it is a complex circle with a closed loop. The source energy extracted from the magic fountain at the bottom of the mage tower was purified and refined, and then dispersed in the ashram to form a special space.
Here, in meditation, the spiritual power can explore the universe at a deeper level, study the relationship between energy, matter, and law, and explore one's own potential. Although there is no direct increase in the effect of meditation, it still benefits the mage a lot.
According to the understanding of martial arts novels, it is not possible to increase internal strength, but it can improve the realm.
It is precisely because of the Ashram that many mages have been able to condense into their true names, break through barriers, and be promoted to the ranks of high-level mages.
There were no magic nets in the Nether era, but the condensation of real names was still a prerequisite for the Arcanists to sublimate their self-knowledge and further study the advanced arcane arts and explore the mysteries of the universe.
Gordon didn't want to jump off a cliff in search of adventure, nor did he want to be beaten by an enemy to the point of dying and then have an epiphany, so he felt that if he wanted to become his real name, it would be safest to rely on the help of the Mage Tower.
As he rose in rank, his real name had evolved from an abstract message to a concrete imprint. If you have a qiē shun lì, you will be able to complete this step within a year at most. Of course, the preparation of the first step in the door, the Mage Tower, must be prepared.
Returning from a meditative state to the physical realm, Gordon slowly opened his eyes. Although the sequelae after the extreme depletion of mental power still existed, he was in a good mood.
"After the matter of Mount Waisura is resolved this time, we will start building the Mage Tower when we go back." He said secretly.
Maybe the quarrel was too tiring, and the two girls were still immersed in sweet dreams at this time.
Gordon smiled and walked out of the cabin.
The four Battle Ice Golems are still faithfully performing their guard duties. The Demon Pet Raven, sealed by Arcane Chains and Ice, remained motionless and did not seem to have changed. In the distance, the camp of Akinhan and Garina was also silent, except for the occasional crackling sound of the bonfire.
"It's a rare tranquility......," Gordon stretched out rather enjoyably.
Before he could lower his raised arms, a bad feeling suddenly came over him. The Oranya necklace he wore around his neck suddenly began to glow blue......
"Wouldn't it? Right now? ”
A little crystal clear "snowflake" fluttered down to the tip of Gordon's nose. Instead of a chilling feeling, there was a smell that Gordon was very familiar to him as a mage: arcane energy.
He looked up and found that the entire library was filled with this special snowflake made of energy particles.
The Oranya necklace on his chest, which is one of the four sets of Heavenly Destiny Jewelry, emits more and more blue light, almost filling this small world. Not only that, but even in the cabin, the same blue light bloomed.
Gordon immediately ran in and found that after the dimensional bag was disabled, there were two other pieces of Destiny jewelry that could only be placed at the head of the bed. The Destiny Ring that Ritter got in his hand, and the Destiny Bracelet he got from Kobold Master Kimbos, also seemed to resonate with his Oranya necklace, emitting a mysterious blue light.
The bracelet and ring suddenly floated up, then spread out, quickly sinking into the still-sleeping bodies of Sigrid and Ainia.
Gordon stood in the cabin, still unaware of what the sudden qiē meant. The scattered snowflakes have penetrated the roof without hindrance, forming a strange and dreamlike landscape in the interior.
The events that caught the mage off guard weren't over yet. Just after the two Heavenly Destiny Jewels were submerged in Sigrid and Aania's bodies, a violent impact of source energy suddenly came.
Gordon once experienced this feeling: "Source Energy Tide ......"
This time, perhaps it was far from the origin of the source energy tide, so he didn't immediately lose consciousness because of the huge tidal impact. It's just that in his eyes, those snowflakes flying all over the sky are constantly absorbing the huge energy brought by the source energy tides, constantly spreading, becoming bigger, and finally filling the whole world.

"Whew, whew......" Lufa gasped and dragged his pace with difficulty. He dragged the chain in his hand and led Alva behind him like a dog. And Venia, who followed further behind, although she did not have any restraints on her body, was struggling, as if she was carrying a big mountain.
Even if she was a druid of a child of nature, even if she was a bestial leopard man whose body was stronger than ordinary humans, Venia was still very hard at this time, almost hovering on the verge of exhaustion.
And the reason why she worked so hard was the pair of earrings around her neck. This is an item that Rufa found from a ruin not long ago. Rufa didn't know what it was for, but he thought it was a very clever magic prop, so he brought it with him.
If Gordon were there, he would have immediately recognized the unique gear-like etching on these earrings, which was the last of the four pieces of Destiny jewelry.
However, unlike the three sets of Destiny jewelry owned by Gordon, the metal material of the pair of earrings seemed to be contaminated by some kind of energy, and the metallic luster on the surface concealed a blood-red evil light.
When worn on the body, the earrings will continue to corrode the bearer's physical abilities - even if they are placed in a dimensional pouch, they will not be able to prevent this effect. So after Rufa carried the earrings for a while, he simply handed them over to Venia for safekeeping. Anyway, as long as the female druid doesn't die, Rufa doesn't care about her suffering.
After walking for a while, Rufa finally couldn't hold on anymore and stopped. His expression looked even more painful than that of Venya, who was constantly enduring the erosion of the evil power of the Destiny Earrings.
"Damn, that monster is really evil, I can't help it!" Rufa remembered the scene when he encountered the Seven Sins Monster before, his eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a low roar. (To be continued......)
