Lucien looked around and found that he was in the narrow cabin filled with the strong smell of alcohol when he found Elvis. Almost everything was the same as the original scene. He was sitting on a wooden armchair, and
Elvis was located next to the fireplace on the left hand side in front, and the noisy sound of the adventurer camp came from outside. The only difference was that the wooden spoon that was supposed to be in Elvis's hand fell to the ground, and the brass soup can
Tumbled over on the fire, the bright red tomato soup poured over it making the flames sizzle.
As if he understood something, Lucien blurted out: "Your Excellency, the King of Nightmares?"
"Elvis" did not deny it. He stopped his anger and his expression became sinister: "Are you really an intermediate arcanist?"
Lucien thought of the mathematical analysis exercises that finally appeared in his dream, and gritted his teeth: "I've been deepening my mathematical foundation recently. I should be at an advanced level, right?"
After a pause, Lucien was confused and deliberately changed the subject: "Your Excellency, King of Nightmares, why did you let me fall into a dream? And, am I really awake now?"
After waking up from the dream twice in a row, everything was so real. Lucien could no longer distinguish the difference between reality and dreams. Even if he quietly opened the Soul Library, it still couldn't dispel the confusion in his heart. Who knows about dreams?
Will the Soul Library also appear here?
This is the most mysterious magic Lucien has ever seen so far!
The original "Elvis", now the King of Nightmares, Stannis said without a smile: "I just accepted the advice of an old friend. He thinks that your magic level cannot match your arcane level, so he plans to let you
I experience different things in the dreams I construct, thereby fully developing the potential of the soul. You can feel the strength of your soul now."
After hearing the words of the Nightmare King, Lucien directly entered the meditation environment. The familiar cognitive world allowed Lucien to grasp a sense of "reality". Then Lucien opened his eyes and said in surprise:
"My soul is indeed at the level of the fifth ring... Could it be that the old witch's electric shock stimulation can really strengthen the soul? No, it should be that the activities in the dream are mapped to the soul, thus causing changes in the soul."
Lucien's soul has reached the level of fifth ring, but the growth of mental power will lag behind for a while.
Stannis, the King of Nightmares, nodded slightly: "All dreams are based on your own cognitive foundation, psychological activities, and reflections of past memories. Everything experienced in the dream will be fed back to the body and soul.
, but the feedback from normal dreams is very slight. Only I in this world can use it to fully develop the soul's potential. Of course. It's just potential, which will not exceed your own scope. If you want to continue to grow, you must meditate, practice, and obey.
Take the potion and perform the ceremony."
"It turns out that it is based on my own cognition and memory mapping. No wonder there are weird coincidences such as 'electric shock stimulation' and 'mirror mirror telling me'." Thinking of this, Lucien subconsciously asked: "Nightmare
Your Majesty, can 'electric shock stimulation' strengthen the soul?"
Stannis smiled: "What do you think?"
"As if I haven't asked." Lucien replied awkwardly. At this time, he had a lot of questions in his mind. But in the end he chose the thing that made his head explode: "Your Majesty, King of Nightmares, how to distinguish between dreams and reality?
What? How do I know if I am still in a dream?"
Stannis was accustomed to Lucien falling into a state of confusion after experiencing "real dreams", and smiled like an old witch: "Why should dreams and reality be so clearly distinguished? What is reality? It is your brain's reaction to the outside world.
.It is the reaction of your soul to the outside world. As long as I can directly stimulate your brain and soul and make them have similar reactions, what is the difference between dreams and reality? When my career reaches the end, maybe I will create a dream world.
.”
"In other words, when my reaction to something in the outside world cannot be simulated by the creator of the dream, I can completely distinguish reality from the dream." Lucien said thoughtfully, while silently adding in his heart, "
When I understand that the projection of a certain theory in the world can explode the head of the creator of the dream, the dream will naturally be shattered. I will quietly try the wave-particle duality and quantum aspects of light later..."
Stannis, the King of Nightmares, quite appreciated Lucien's ability to get answers directly from his description of dreams and reality: "Yes, he is indeed the young man that my old friend likes. In fact, I try to avoid it in dreams.
You showed the latest progress in arcane research. You avoided other factions in the final maze and chose the mathematical basis. The result..." His expression was slightly complicated.
"No wonder the old witch has never been interested in arcane magic. Even if it is a dream within a dream, it is just some application results. This is contradictory to the lunatic's lack of scruples!" Lucien suddenly realized, and then laughed, "It turns out that the old witch
You play the King of Nightmares, and the crazy meaning is very real."
Stannis replied expressionlessly: "Strictly speaking, half of the old witch is the projection of a fearful thing in your heart, and the remaining half is what I fill in, shape and give to your thoughts, so that it is real enough. In addition, Adam, Kari
I also played Na, Alva, Ophelia, Brad and others in this way."
Lucien was immediately embarrassed. Is this the real version of "Although there are many people talking to you here, they are actually my vests"?
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Lucien quickly asked another question: "Your Excellency, the King of Nightmares, this means that this letter delivery mission is purely for me to see you, accept your dream training, and thus improve my own
To develop the potential? Whose kindness is this?" To be an old friend of Stannis, the King of Nightmares, Lucien guessed that he was at least a legendary magician.
Stannis said gloomily: "It is also a test. If you can't deliver the letter here, there will be no 'real dream'. As for my old friend, he probably took a fancy to your talent and potential, and wanted to
Let you become his disciple. You should have undergone similar tests before."
"Could it be that the strange summoning event encountered in the castle was also a test?" Lucien suddenly recalled this incident, but "Viken" was also connected to the missing legendary magicians such as Maskelyne that he knew. It was really not true.
It seemed fake, so I asked again: "Who is your Excellency?"
The Nightmare King seemed to want to avoid mentioning that person's name: "You will know when you return to the Magic Council. The letter on your body is actually a special magic scroll. When you receive a fatal attack, it will be automatically triggered and you will be killed.
Take it to a certain demiplane, and if you want to save time returning to the Magic Council, you can activate it yourself."
Is this special magic scroll at least a ninth-level item? I wonder how many golden talers it can be exchanged for? Lucien suddenly felt "sad and angry" that he was carrying such a high-level item everywhere.
I'm running around but I don't know the value at all. What should I do if I drop it?
But this also made Lucien's little complaint about the Magic Council disappear. They really put themselves in danger without any test.
Seeing Lucien take out the letter and "read" it carefully, the Nightmare King Stannis waved his hand: "You can get out. I'm going back to the Magic Tower."
"Okay, Your Excellency." Lucien stood up and said goodbye.
Although Lucien's soul has only entered the threshold of the fifth ring, he is not worried that his level of arcane magic cannot keep up. The only problem is that he has to spend more time perfecting illusions, transformation and other areas that he is not good at.
, at least the foundation must be solid. There must be no lack of the Nightmare King's methods that amaze Lucien. Even if he cannot reach this level, he must not be completely ignorant when facing the magic of the corresponding faction.
Stepping out of the cabin, he returned to the adventurer camp that was filled with strong alcohol and the smell of lasciviousness. Lucien walked forward like a walk, feeling as if he had completed a task. As he walked, Lucien suddenly froze and remembered something.
Details: "Isn't the King of Nightmares an ancient magician? Why is my mathematical analysis exercises counterattacked? He shouldn't be able to understand, so he should let my dreams perform on their own!"
…………
In the cabin, the Nightmare King Stannis did not leave immediately, but said to himself:
"The closed demon land and the imprisoned tower reflect his biggest fear. It seems to be a microcosm of the entire world. But why does he feel that he is closed and imprisoned?"
"He is able to remain calm and observant in dangerous environments, and is neither desperate nor crazy. He has a very good quality, but it was not until Ophelia died that he accelerated his escape. This shows that there was something important in his heart.
Incidents in which relatives and friends were hurt or even died caused a great change in his mentality and left a deep psychological imprint."
"Adam is probably a collection of male friends who have helped him for whatever reason. He has a sincere side and a using side, but why is he called Adam? Karina also represents the people he has taken care of and received from them.
A helpful female friend, but the lack of ambiguity and emotion shows that he is still unsure about his inner feelings, or has deep worries."
"After becoming a prisoner, he placed a little hope on the rescue of the legendary magician of the Magic Council. From the side, it can be seen that he has received help from some powerful people and has formed a certain degree of dependence in his heart."
"The old witch is a crazy, smart, and powerful villain. This is a mixed projection of his enemies, including the church, ancient magicians, and modern arcane masters. But why is she a woman?"
“What kind of psychological activities are ‘electric shock stimulation’ and ‘mirror mirror tell me’?”
"When faced with danger, he was able to break off his arms to escape imprisonment, which reflected his inner ferocity and determination, which is also a very good quality. There were no casualties in the subsequent series of battles, even when facing the old witch,
Adam is only on the verge of death, which shows that he also has a soft side in his heart and pays more attention to affection and help."
"The existence of underground ruins reflects that he knows some unknown secret or location. It is probably a ruin somewhere."
"Also, his unique magic is very interesting, and the method of dispelling the magic circle and erasing the spiritual mark is also very good."
A figure slowly appeared on another wooden chair opposite Stannis. He had white hair mixed with a lot of black silk. He was wearing a bright red robe. He had an almost old appearance, was handsome and handsome, and had a pair of bright red eyes.
The King of Nightmares said: "The hundreds of years of magical development brought about by arcana have surpassed the tens of thousands of years of the Magic Empire. Stannis, do you still want to stay on the wrong path and never look back?"
Stannis was silent for a while and then said: "Give me more arcane books of a higher level. By the way, if you don't want the ones that appeared in that boy's dream, I can't bear it..."
