Seeing the silly faces of Wolf and Rosalian, one big and one small, Xuan Weizi said with a smile: "If you don't understand, don't force yourself. There will probably be some free time in the future. I advise you to practice hard and don't really do it."
It’s better to wait until a crisis comes before regretting it.”
As Xuan Weizi said, Chai Dui Town ushered in a period of stability and tranquility. Although for the original residents of Chai Dui Town, they actually had to listen to an indigenous matriarch to plant flowers and plants they had never seen before.
Fortunately, these things were needed by the "Mage Master" Theus, and he promised to pay wages, and there would be extra rewards for those who worked hard. No one could say much, and even the young attendant in the chapel did not object.
.
Tar Valon, who went out to assist in the battle, came back more than a month later. Looking at his satisfied look, you knew that the Green Ring must have gained another victory. And not long after, Shaw Dahn, a rider from the Pegasus tribe, led a group of scattered natives.
Came to the vicinity of Chaidui Town and settled here with the help of Sandori.
These scattered natives no longer have their own tribes and guardians. They are all the old, weak, women and children left after being dispersed and annexed by the powerful tribes of the Grand Alliance. Sandori took in all these people and regarded them as members of her own family.
Similarly, let them participate in various production tasks, and select appropriate candidates to teach spirit spells.
The riders of the Pegasus tribe were also very curious when they learned that Sanduoli had selflessly taught spirit magic. However, Sanduoli was not in a hurry to teach them, but instead brought them to Xuan Weizi for inspection.
These riders of the Pegasus tribe also master some spirit spells that do not require totem djinn, and their spellcasting abilities actually come from the two-winged Pegasus. When these riders ride on their animal companions, the souls of the two will have a special resonance, which means that the two wings
Pegasus actually replaces the totem djinn in some situations.
Despite this, the spellcasting ability of the Pegasus rider is still relatively weak. The average totem guardian at least has the number of natural recovery spells per day and the assistance of outside spirits, but the Pegasus rider still relies on magic to cast spells. If it is not assisted by the powerful double-winged Pegasus,
The rider alone cannot fight for a long time.
But Pegasus riders were famous for their bravery in combat a long time ago. Now that they have regressed to this extent, how can they not be tempted when they see a skill that can improve their abilities?
Xuan Weizi didn't teach them any additional skills. "Soul Refining and Spirit Refining" were basically the same as the soul magic.
The Pegasus riders who learned how to "refining souls and channeling gods" did not let the tribe members come to Woodpile Town en masse. This was actually what Sandori and Ta Valon meant. The Pegasus tribe is an important scout for the Aboriginal Alliance. If they rashly leave the Alliance,
An alliance is likely to arouse obvious hostility from the other party.
Xuan Weizi did not interfere too much in these matters. He was still focused on connecting the three functions of the internal organs, meridians, and muscles of the physical furnace. Occasionally, he went to the giant ruins and still found nothing new. Or he went to find Akuma.
·Matata, asked about the progress of cultivation.
As for the situation in the Underdark, they are still in the process of exploring downwards. You must know that Myon originally climbed dozens of miles underground in all directions. Some of the snow elves who explored the path accidentally disappeared and never returned. Aku
Ma Matata didn't dare to let her little cubs wander in.
The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce was established under Tius' plan. He had already met some businessmen in Huowu City. After several contacts and communications, business travelers finally came to Chaidui Town one after another.
Perhaps Sir Salemi disrupted the situation in Lagen City, and some chambers of commerce accustomed to dealing with mages also chose to do business in Woodpile Town. And the name of "Evergreen Clothes" gradually spread, and even attracted some
A team of adventurers came to Woodpile Town.
As a result, Chaidui Town will definitely need to build shops, taverns and many service places, which will cause the land prices in the newly expanded city to rise rapidly. While praising Xuan Weizi for his foresight, Tius lamented that there are still many buildings in Chaidui Town.
not big enough.
…
A communication crystal tower that looks like a cone stands in the open space, about thirty feet high. There are a large number of energy-conducting copper tubes densely arranged inside. Magic arrays are etched with alchemical potions, and various gems are inlaid at the nodes. The surface is then
It is covered with an enchanted metal plate. The top is a specially processed twenty-sided crystal.
When this communication crystal tower is activated, magic energy will flow, and complex circuits will appear on the surface, driving the crystal to rotate. The entire communication crystal tower will be connected to the arcane star map, and the "SMS" technique will be continuously obtained.
"Effect.
As one of the highest achievements of the Magic Council, the communication crystal tower can better demonstrate the prosperity of contemporary arcana than the mage tower. Because the communication crystal tower is connected to the arcane star map, it also combines multiple arcane spells to form a comprehensive communication effect, allowing mages to use
Communication crystal tower, able to communicate regardless of distance and geographical barriers.
Moreover, today's communication crystal towers, with the tireless improvements of mages, already have different styles. In addition to being used for general communication, they can also assist in the production of "SMS", "Wind Message" and other types of magic items; at the same time,
It can be used as a location for long-distance transmission of spells. After all, any communication crystal tower must be a place strictly protected by mages.
At the same time, due to the struggle between the Tower of Pentagram and the Eye of Mystery, both sides improved the communication crystal towers they controlled and began to set up unique communication "frequency bands." As a result, detection and counter-detection of communication spells also emerged.
Measurement methods, which also affected the construction of future communication crystal towers.
One of the reasons why the communication crystal tower in Huowu City is so tall and grand is to occupy enough "frequency bands". Within the vicinity of Huowu City, it can monitor the communication spells of other mages, and even block the transmission spells of other mages.
All communication spell effects except members of the Tower of Stars - although doing so is very expensive.
Listening to Titus' proud narration, Xuan Weizi squinted his eyes and looked at the communication crystal tower in front of him, and said: "In terms of in-depth development of specific spell effects, your mages are still better than druids."
"Of course!" Titus straightened his back. It took several months for the communication crystal tower in Chai Dui Town to be finally built, and his position as the mage advisor to Chai Dui Town became increasingly stable.
Xuan Weizi reminded: "Don't be too proud. I'm talking about the group of mages, not you. Groups often mean that positions are more important than people. The communication crystal tower is a typical achievement of collective wisdom, especially the universal one among them.
It’s adaptable and worth learning.”
Theus whispered: "Doctor, I have set up a separate frequency band for this communication crystal tower to communicate with Master Nelum. This one is a communication prop I made, and I will give it to you now."
What was handed to Xuan Weizi's hand was a ruby hexagonal prism, the thickness of a thumb, which resonated with the communication crystal tower.
"You are interested." Xuan Weizi put away the communication ruby with a smile and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Theus pondered his hands and said nervously: "Dr. Olanso, it's about psychic powers... It's been half a year since you taught me the 'Water and Fire Conception'. Why haven't I gained the power of the mind yet?"
What about psychic powers?”
Xuan Weizi thought for a while, then gently tapped Titus's forehead with his finger, then felt his pulse, and finally said: "Your mage's thinking habits are too stubborn, and the transformation at the soul level lacks internal motivation."
"You mean, I'm not suitable for learning psychic powers?" Theus asked.
Xuanweizi did not answer immediately, but motioned to Titus to come to an uninhabited city wall to talk - today's Chaidui Town has begun to take shape, and the outer city walls have been heightened and thickened in recent days. It can be seen that
It looks more like a town than a country village.
Xuan Weizi looked at the endless field scenery outside the city and said: "Psychic power is all the energy of consciousness. Do you remember the soul and body I mentioned before? In short, the soul is a category of consciousness, so all have souls.
energy potential.”
Theus asked: "Doctor, do you mean that we mages focus on spiritual consciousness and lack physical exercise? So we are unable to explore our own psychic talents?"
"Developing psychic powers directly from the body requires higher talent." Xuan Weizi said: "The soul I am talking about is actually the consciousness that ordinary people understand, but it is a superficial level of consciousness. You guys
A mage builds a spell slot at the soul level, touches the soul inward, and contacts the arcane star chart outward. Therefore, for a mage, the magic energy consumed when casting a spell almost entirely comes from the arcane star chart."
Theus was all too familiar with this and asked: "Since the soul has psychic potential and the mage also controls the soul, why can't I master psychic powers?"
"The forms are different." Xuan Weizi said: "I have probably figured it out over the past few days. The mage constructs spell slots at the level of the soul. If you compare it to an image, it is like freezing water into pieces of ice, and the form of the soul is fixed.
Come down. The psychic power is to develop the spiritual potential of the soul as a whole, so it remains in a flowing state."
Theus understood something: "In other words, psychic powers require the soul - that is, the thinking consciousness to be more flexible?"
"The term flexibility is too broad." Xuan Weizi added: "If I were to say it, I would say that I am better able to abandon old ideas, better able to focus on the details of my thinking, and better able to understand my own memories and habits, and my psychic abilities.
The more powerful it is. In fact, the potential and foundation of the soul are very vast. In my opinion, this is the basis for the continuous improvement of the mage's arcane ability."
Theus lay on the battlement and sighed: "Doctor, do you want me to continue on the path of a mage?"
"I can't decide your future. You have mastered the sixth-level arcana now, but I heard that it is expensive to be promoted to a senior mage, right?" Xuan Weizi asked.
Titus covered his head and said: "It costs about two hundred thousand gold sun coins... But the problem is that after spending so much money, even if you concentrate all your energy on studying, you may not be able to improve your arcane level. Doctor, have you recently
Aren’t you also researching alchemy potions? Are there any potions that can improve your intelligence?”
"Huh? What are you thinking here?" Xuan Weizi said: "After drinking the medicine in the stomach, there is a process of digestion and absorption, and how to fully exert the effect of the medicine involves the functions of the organs and meridians.
function, as well as the underlying consciousness function that fully mobilizes vitality - that is, the body. You haven't even mastered the soul, but you still want to reach the sky and train your body? Or do you want to work part-time as a warrior? "
"I don't want it!" Theus couldn't help but shuddered when he thought about how he had to sweat all over his body and endure the pain of muscle stretching in order to build muscles all over his body.
Besides, you are already a mage, why do you still need to work part-time as a warrior? Even the most inferior mage will not work part-time as a warrior. Because once you work as a warrior, it is tantamount to denying the dignity of the mage and arcana, and others will
How do you view yourself? If a warrior works hard to learn arcane arts, that is progress; if a mage works part-time as a warrior, that is self-destruction.
"Then I have an idea. I wonder if you are willing to take the risk." Xuan Weizi showed a sly smile.
"What?" Theus became interested.
"Since the spell slots are constructed at the level of the soul, let's deconstruct the spell slots." Xuan Weizi said astonishingly: "Your current situation is that the soul as a whole is not flexible enough, so it is better to take a step back, deconstruct some of the spell slots, and give
The opportunity to readjust your soul. Just like ice melting into water, stubbornness turning into softness, the possibility of change is even greater."
"Deconstruct the spell slot?" Theus was surprised and asked: "Doctor, do you want me to give up the spell slot?"
Xuan Weizi nodded and said: "Yes, one step back is to take two steps forward. Your spell slot now occupies the level of the soul, and you have no signs of improvement in ability. The soul has no more room for you to use, so it is better to give up some spells.
position, try to develop psychic abilities. And the higher the level of spell slots are discarded, the more room there will be for the soul to change."
"Is it possible that I have to give up the sixth-level spell slots?!" Theus couldn't accept it and waved his hands quickly: "No, no! I still need to rely on these spell slots to make magic items. This is my lifeblood!"
Xuan Weizi had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "Then I have no choice. The 'Water and Fire Impurity View' cannot improve your soul ability out of thin air, but can re-integrate your thinking consciousness. Since you can't be sure after watching for a long time, it means that based on your current situation,
The conditions are not suitable for such practice. If you continue to practice, you may be able to achieve a slight improvement in more than ten years, but are you willing to wait?"
Theus didn't want to wait until his hair was gray and his face was wrinkled to achieve such a little success, but giving up the spell slot was really too fatal for the mage, and he couldn't make up his mind at the moment.
At this moment, Xuan Weizi took out the communication ruby again. At this moment, the surface shone slightly. Xuan Weizi closed his eyes and rubbed the surface of the ruby. Theus asked: "Master Nelum is looking for you?"
Xuan Weizi opened his eyes and said: "The peace treaty has been signed. Huowu City will hold a grand triumphal ceremony. Master Nelum invited me to Huowu City."
"This is a good thing." Theus said: "There will be no more wars and no more deaths. Let's just start construction."
But I heard Xuan Weizi sneer and said: "Who said that if there is no war, people will die? Construction is just as deadly, and internal profit distribution and struggle are still naked life and death, but no one pays attention!"
Theus couldn't help being frightened when he heard this, and asked: "Doctor Olenso, are you going to accept the invitation to Fire Dance City?"
"Go, of course!" Xuan Weizi has been exposed to a lot of skills recently, but there has been little progress in alchemy practice or psychic abilities. There is no obvious benefit to staying in Chaidui Town. It is better to go out and see the world.
Change your mindset.
Tius was just about to say that they should go together when Xuan Weizi interrupted him: "Just stay in Pile Town. If you really want to give up some of your spell slots to practice psychic powers, this short period of peace is the most appropriate time.
