"I didn't become a mage just to live such a life of no dignity and debt!" Theus said angrily: "We are mages, pioneers in exploring the mysteries and truths of the world. We discover them from the fragments of old volumes.
Uncovering the boundless power buried in the dust of history, we can change reality, turn stones into gold, distort time and space, and glimpse the future. We can master everything we know, and we will master everything unknown. We are mages!"
Titus squeezed the piece of baked snail until it was soft. Thinking of his two fellow mages, who were talking about their future aspirations and expectations, tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Especially for the young mage who was born into a noble family, his revival of family glory, his pursuit of arcane achievements, and his superior status were all corroded along with the bloody corpse, buried in the soil.
And the middle-aged mage, he is probably thinking about resigning in the near future and living a peaceful life with his lover's apprentice, right? Hahaha... Maybe the lover's apprentice heard the news of his death and followed him in the blink of an eye.
Other mages are sleeping, oh, how sad...
But what's the use of saying so much? Your own destiny is not under your control at this time.
Theus looked up and saw that Wolf had fallen asleep early. Along with his slow and long breathing, Theus noticed waves of tidal fluctuations coming from Wolf's body.
"Alas, this guy has Dr. Olenso as his backer, and he can sleep wherever he goes. And I don't know if I can please him and learn psychic powers. In the future... well, where will he be in the future?"
Theus just ate something indiscriminately and did not do any routine meditation. He got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
While half asleep, Theus saw many things. First, two fellow mages who looked like they were dead, calling for help. They could not get help, and they seemed to drag Theus into hell.
In the "hell", what he could see were densely packed large and small mushrooms, and they actually grew on his body. They were gathered together, like pomegranate seed follicles, and spread all over his skin like herpes, making him
It was extremely itchy. And the disgusting tentacles with eyeballs were climbing towards his body, and Ledertius couldn't breathe.
"Wake up, wake up! You sleepy long-legged creature!" The harsh and sharp voice of the snow goblin wizard woke up Sir Theus, and he was actually kicked several times by its dirty feet.
"What's the fuss about?!" Theus replied irritably. Seeing the sky was getting brighter, he didn't expect that he just had a brief nightmare and the night had already passed.
Akuma Matata said with a leader's air: "Hmph! You, a long-legged guy, are so lazy that you are worse than us brats."
Theus couldn't wait to blast all the spells in his spell slot on this dirty and smelly snow goblin to see what the use of the diligence of these inferior species is?!
"Hey, come and take a look!" Wolf had already stood outside the snow goblin's lair, looking at the large blue light radiating from it, as if there was a strong light source inside.
Theus did not feel any obvious spell fluctuations, so he cast a "detection magic". The blue light emitted from the snow goblin's lair was just pure natural light.
"Is this okay?" Theus rubbed his cheek, remembering that when Dr. Olanso was doing experiments before, he tried to inject psychic powers into various materials, which caused several explosions. He was not in any danger.
Instead of feeling ordinary, he was thinking and summarizing experiences.
"The doctor's big birdman is guarding inside. Nothing will happen to him." Wolf grabbed his beard and said, "But let's go in and have a look. Do you want to come?"
Akuma Matata couldn't understand the common language, but he understood what he meant. He walked straight to the lair and disappeared into a large blue light. Wolf also entered after him, leaving only Theus alone.
.
"Damn it, if anything happens, I'm going to run away!" Theus stamped his feet and had no choice but to bravely follow him in.
The blue light radiating in front of me did not hinder my vision, and I soon arrived at the deepest cave. Tsunemasuko was still standing guard, and the giant mushroom in the center changed its shape at this moment, as if it were a blue gemstone sculpture.
The disgusting carpets and fluid sacs around him disappeared, leaving only a solitary giant mushroom, emitting a bright blue light.
Wolf and the other three were stunned as they saw that the giant mushroom became more and more transparent and crystal clear, and gradually revealed a vague human figure inside, which was Xuan Weizi.
At this time, the giant mushroom was seen shaking slightly. It was no longer shaking like a living thing, but was shaking rapidly, with a cracking sound, like ice cracking, mountain peaks collapsing, and long-pressed energy flowing.
One breath bursts outward.
When the three of them saw this, they couldn't help but want to avoid it, but they suddenly felt that their hands and feet were completely out of control. They were actually controlled and restrained by invisible forces. It was like being hit by a "group immobilization spell", and they could not withstand any immunity!
"The nature returns to true tranquility, and the life returns to the true body. The mind and matter are one, whether there is any satisfaction or not!"
Accompanied by the clear sound, the blue light radiated to the extreme, collapsing inwards and rolling back, shaking the giant mushroom with an invisible impact, and the cracking sound became more intensive, one after another. With a clang, the entire giant mushroom melted and shattered, scattering into pieces all over the sky.
crystal.
Xuan Weizi was seen sitting cross-legged in the air, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes. He raised his hand to lead, and the scattered scattered crystals in the cave began to circle regularly, as if they were affected by psychic powers or indescribable forces.
Pulled by the miraculous power, they gather together and take shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What finally fell into Xuan Weizi's hands was a blue Ruyi, with a crank-handled sesame head and clouds rolling in the air. It seemed to be carved from one piece of gemstone. There was no impurity in it and it was very transparent. Just looking at the appearance, it was
A piece of exquisite craftsmanship.
Xuan Weizi's figure slowly fell to the ground, and the invisible restraint force suddenly disappeared. Only then could the three of Wolfe move again. When the previous scene came into their eyes, they all opened their mouths and were speechless.
Looking at the cirrus-shaped Ruyi in his hand, he saw that this thing was the product of the giant mushroom's biological properties that had been completely condensed. In addition to the real fire weapon refining method, Xuan Weizi also relied on his psychic powers to adjust it. As for why it turned into
Ruyi's shape may just fit the "everything goes well" characteristic of the psychic power. Xuan Weizi let nature take its course and named it "Biyun Ruyi", which can be regarded as the sustenance of "Maian"'s soul and heart after he was reborn.
"Doctor, you, you, you are so awesome!" Wolf couldn't hold back a good word for a long time, so he could only use country slang to praise Xuan Weizi.
Xuan Weizi flicked Biyun Ruyi, and gently knocked on Wolf's big bald forehead. "Dang-", a deafening bell sounded, echoing in the cave, shaking Wolf's body.
"People like you just lack a warning and should be beaten." Xuan Weizi held Biyun Ruyi in his arms. Although his words were serious, there was not much anger on his face.
Theus was also amazed. He had seen many scenes of making magic items. Most of the process was nothing more than lying next to the enchanting table, concentrating on processing various gems and magic materials, and also being careful to prevent the magic energy from getting out of control. A little capital
, will use the magic circle to guide a huge amount of magic energy. But seeing Xuan Weizi's method, it feels like it is to transform that giant mushroom into this strange-looking short staff, without the need for other materials and complicated assistance.
"You... how did you do this?" Theus said in a respectful tone. Compared with pure psychic skills, if you can also learn this set of manufacturing skills, wouldn't it be like a steady stream of wealth?
?
"This is the method of refining weapons...Actually, I am just lucky. This method still needs to be perfected."
Floating slowly away from the ground.
I saw the snow goblin wizard waving his arms and legs excitedly and flying at a slow speed. He screamed and sang goblin songs in excitement.
"Flying... No, this is more like 'Soaring into the Sky'." Titus quickly recognized that Xuan Wei Zi cast a "Soaring into the Sky" for Akuma Matata. The flying speed of this spell
It is not as good as the "Flying Technique", and its maneuverability is average, but it is more advantageous in that it lasts a long time, and can even be used to move and travel long distances.
However, the general "Soaring in the Sky" can only be cast on oneself, unless it is made into a scroll or magic equipment and given to other people. It cannot be used to let others obtain the spell effect with just a finger in the air with a staff.
"Could this magic item change the target of ordinary spells?" Theus asked directly.
Xuan Weizi secretly praised the mage's keen insight, nodded and said: "First of all, what I use is still psychic power. Secondly, what you said is indeed right, as long as it is within the range of my telepathy, I can
Blessed with psychic powers.”
One of the major shortcomings of psychic powers in the past was that a large number of buff effects could only be exerted on oneself. Although Xuan Weizi could transmit the effects of psychic powers by implanting astral bodies into others, preparations still had to be made in advance.
Moreover, if the astral body is stored in other people's bodies, the process of transmitting psychic powers will also consume the astral body. Even for Xuan Weizi, this consumption is not worth mentioning.
What's more, not everyone is happy with the act of implanting an astral body. If others are prepared in advance, they can use a Will save to resist. If the astral body wants to cause damage to the opponent's body, people can also use a Fortitude save to resist.
It is not a panacea.
Now that Xuan Weizi uses Biyun Ruyi to display his spiritual powers, he no longer needs to deliberately use astral transmission. Because when controlling the weapon, the physical and mental energy and the magical function of the magical weapon are integrated, and the category of "self" is extended. As long as it is
Within the sensing range of Xuanweizi Yuanshen, psychic powers can take effect directly.
The reason why Xuan Weizi said that it still needs to be improved is actually because this ability can only be used by Biyun Ruyi, and it is not entirely Xuan Weizi's own ability.
"Is this magic item made of that giant mushroom?" Theus asked in surprise: "Does it have any special crystals in its body? I heard that some magical beasts' brains or vital organs have
It is crystallized and is a very rare magic material."
"You're wrong! This is Ma'ang, that giant mushroom!" Xuan Weizi played with Biyun Ruyi and said with a smile: "It's not dead yet. It can hear everything you say clearly."
Theus suddenly remembered the disgusting scene he had seen before and the nightmare last night, and asked with a chill: "Is this thing alive?"
"How about you try it yourself?" When Xuan Weizi said this, he directly put Biyun Ruyi into Titus's hand.
Theus held this magic weapon, which was comparable to an exquisite craft, in both hands. He was stunned on the spot and hadn't spoken yet when he heard a faint voice in his mind:
"Is there anything you need help from Myon?"
Hearing this sound, Titus was so frightened that his hands softened, and Biyun Ruyi fell directly down. Xuan Weizi took a photo from the air, took back the magic weapon, and said with a smile: "If you don't like it, don't throw it away...
Do you understand? Not everyone can use this magic item. If you can control it, it belongs to you; if you cannot control it, you belong to it."
"What do you mean?" Theus rubbed his palms, always worried that something dirty would get stuck on him.
Xuan Weizi said: "It can barely be regarded as a scepter, but to use it, you need to form a close and inseparable connection with your mind. But it is also a powerful living body with psychic powers. If you use it,
If you are negligent at times, it will interfere with your own mind. At that time, you will not be able to tell which one is you and which one is Myon. But it is not a psychic holding a spiritual staff, but a spiritual staff.
There is a living carrier."
Theus has heard of some ancient magic items that have curses or ancient souls attached to them. The users are either cursed and unable to escape the bad luck caused by the magic items for the rest of their lives, or the ancient souls directly take over their bodies and become
Nervous, crazy and crazy.
"Doctor Olanso, you, are you okay?" Theus has really taken Xuanwei Zi, and even if he does some experiments that will hurt himself, he will actually use the scepter that harms the mind and soul. This
What kind of thinking mode is it?
Xuan Weizi said: "I'm different. I don't use it like a general scepter. Just like refining a weapon, the corresponding one is a royal weapon."
Theus smiled and wiped his sweat: "The vocabulary of all your psions is so... inscrutable, it doesn't sound like a common language."
Xuan Weizi explained: "Let me ask you, have you ever had the experience of perceiving each other with external objects? An inanimate dead object seems to have consciousness. For example, when you are admiring a statue, you feel as if it is also conscious.
Looking at you, it's not that it has consciousness, but that your consciousness is given to an external object and looks at itself from its perspective... I understand, I'm not talking about activation spells. Being conscious and being able to move are not the same thing.
.”
"This...do all psychics think like this? These words seem like something only an artist would say." Theus was a little confused.
Xuan Weizi actually nodded seriously and said: "If you have studied art, you might be able to better understand what I just said. Because artistic creation itself is not only the creator's observation of the outside world, but also the creator's observation of the outside world.
It is also the process of showing the influence of the outside world on oneself.”
Speaking of this, Xuan Weizi suddenly understood why the "Heaven and Earth Great Weapon" exercise had this name. Since the imperial weapon is one body and mind and an external object, then what external object is integrated with the body and mind at all times?
