Chapter 844 7 Rings, Distinguishing Between Friends and Foes
Just when Xia Duo was trying to get familiar with this state, he suddenly heard several exclamations. The five consciousness projections that were still overlapping were instantly reduced to three!
He could clearly tell that the other two were Nia and Vincent.
——As expected! The milder [Psychic Link] is easily interrupted due to psychological resistance! - Sha Duo thought to himself.
——Is this a spiritual link? It’s amazing! Vincent was unabashedly amazed.
——Are those people not here because they were resisting? - Niya asked doubtfully.
Sha Duo did not answer directly, but instead projected his consciousness out of the overlapping state. The link center was gone, and the links to other people were immediately disconnected.
Of course, as long as the spell has not completely expired, this state can be converted into a link state at any time, but those who resist leaving will not be able to join the link.
"Vinson, Grannar, put away the [Pioneer Scepter]. With it, the psychic link will not take effect!
"There are others. By staying focused, you can block the sharing of most of your own thinking information. There is no need to panic or resist. This spell is just a tactical aid, not to pry into your souls."
Sha Duo once again explained the effective scope of [Psychic Link].
In fact, if a person can completely integrate the subconscious and conscious, then even those sensory information can be shielded from sharing.
However, even Xia Duo failed to fully integrate the subconscious and superficial consciousness, let alone others. Those passive sensory information controlled by the subconscious are almost unblockable in the state of spiritual link.
Of course, there are some things that Xia Duo still hasn't made clear, that is -
In this spiritual link state, as the leader of the spell and the center of the link, he can influence other people's subconscious minds to a certain extent, making others more obedient to his command.
This is the true role of spiritual linking!
Merely sharing sensory information and even some thoughts was not enough for Shado to rack his brains to create, or to integrate and upgrade this 7-level spell from the original judgment spell.
So far, except for the [Mage Armor] that was used to upgrade the level, which has reached level 7, his other spells have not been updated and upgraded!
Just for this 7-ring [Psychic Link]!
Is it just for sharing some information or even ideas?
Certainly not!
If the spiritual link resists, the link will be broken, and the link can be better directed, so it can be more convenient to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
If someone really causes trouble, once evil thoughts arise in their heart, they will inevitably be reflected in the state of spiritual connection. At that time, Xia Duo will directly sense it and eliminate accidents.
In fact, if someone really has malicious intentions, they don't need to wait until they go to the battlefield to find out. It will be difficult to hide it during the last three days of running-in.
Because, as long as he resists the link, Xia Duo will directly believe that there is something wrong with him!
Whether it's substituting someone or just kicking the opponent off, it's all within the scope of the high-level mage's authority!
…
So how many of these people have evil intentions in their hearts?
As of now, there is none!
After several times of guidance from Xia Duo, everyone completed their psychological construction and successfully joined the spiritual link with Xia Duo as the core.
Of course, it's just a relatively shallow link. As he said before, this kind of link is not for prying into privacy, but for tactical considerations.
A deeper link is not impossible, but that kind of sharing that is almost full of senses and full of thinking, without reservation, not to mention other people, even Xia Duo himself cannot accept it.
The realm of the Star Spirit is really not something that ordinary people can achieve.
That's enough, but not too tight, just right!
…
After several practices, in just one day, everyone got used to the spiritual link state.
The reason why it goes so smoothly is mainly because the more people there are, the more information is shared, and complex information will interfere with the caster's judgment.
However, as long as you stay focused, you can not only block the outflow of most of your own thinking information, but also block the inflow of most of the sensory information shared by other people.
In other words, as long as Xia Duo, the commander, does not have any problems, others do not need to think too much. As long as they obey the command and be a good tool, it is enough!
After several rounds of running-in and previous contacts, the others had an understanding of Xia Duo's strength and character. Coupled with the pressure of the situation, they easily made the decision to entrust themselves to Xia Duo.
So will Shado himself have problems?
If he had never been to the [Projection Plane·Dark Realm], he would probably have problems, but he had been to that projection plane and had gone through hundreds of years of memory and thought torture by the drow "Brandon".
Xia Duo already has enough experience in integrating sensory information and even thinking patterns and thinking about information to be able to cope with today's small scenes.
Of course, these can only be considered as hardware running-in before the battle. Only with these foundations can we talk about other things.
The software aspect is specific, strategies and tactics for dealing with elves.
With the guidance of Archmage Fulstrom who came a few days in advance, and the "Combat Manual" that was later distributed to everyone, Shado did not think that his team would have any major problems.
If even his team can't successfully complete the mission and survive, it will be even harder for other teams!
While still remaining cautious, Xia Duo's mentality has improved significantly from the previous few days.
…
Two days passed quickly, and the time came to the start date of the operation that Fulstem had mentioned three days ago.
By this day, the atmosphere in the entire camp had become increasingly tense.
In the early morning, everyone was called to gather in the square where the portal was located, but except for the orc slaves in the distance who didn't know the reason for the war, the dwarf craftsmen were still making noises.
There was almost silence on this side of the square, with some tension, some fear, some excitement, or some fanaticism spreading.
The team of Xia Duo and others were inconspicuous among the crowd, but he had no extra emotions to vent at this time. His eyes were attracted by the two teams of battle mages on the edge of the square.
Including Turner, whom I had met before, there were twenty people in total, but unlike the crowd at Chateau's side, all of those twenty people had calm faces and no emotion at all.
Looking at it from a distance, it gives people an unfathomable feeling.
Of course, Xia Duo knew that if nothing unexpected happened, those people were all high-level mages. It was no secret that only high-level mages would appear in this war.
This is a tacit agreement reached between the superiors and the elves. Even though the conflict has become more explicit, both parties still maintain a certain degree of restraint.
…
There were hundreds of high-level mages, arcanists, and an unknown number of archmages or senior arcanists who were still prepared even though they did not need to participate in the battle.
Under such circumstances, even the great arcanist would find it difficult to put on any airs!
As Xia Duo expected, not long after everyone arrived, Grand Arcanist Badigal appeared in the square.
