Chapter 82 Knowledge? monster?
Fortunately, instructor Monica later explained the semi-immersive meditation method to everyone in detail.
Even Sol, a newcomer who learned semi-immersive meditation on his own, gained a lot of insights from it.
When he entered semi-immersion before, he always used it to observe contamination and anomalies. But according to Instructor Monica's explanation, semi-immersive meditation is actually a temporary means to stabilize the mental body and urgently replenish magic power.
When Thor was in danger in Mentor Kaz's laboratory, he used semi-immersive meditation to stabilize his mental body.
But after that, he almost exclusively used his meditation to discover alienated materials, almost forgetting its original purpose.
Thor's magic power has been significantly improved compared to three months ago. Now it is no longer possible to restore all magic power quickly using full immersion meditation, let alone semi-immersion meditation.
However, the advantage of semi-immersion is that it starts quickly, and the magic power recovered in a short period of time is higher than that of immersive meditation.
But this kind of meditation method that relies on itself and does not use auxiliary tools is not so easy to master.
It requires the apprentice to be familiar enough with his own meditation chart and to be proficient in using his mental power.
If every time you meditate, you just run your mental power according to the lines of the picture, you will immediately fall into the memory maze of "it seems like this, but it doesn't seem like it" after putting down the book.
After most of the new apprentices began experimenting with semi-immersive meditation, Monica wandered around the classroom doing nothing.
Occasionally an old apprentice would ask some questions.
Some of them she answered, and some of them she just smiled and said nothing.
When Monica walked by, Sol also raised his hand and asked a question.
"Teacher Monica, are the meditation charts for first-level apprentices and second-level apprentices different? Or do you need to be familiar with different meditation charts at each stage?"
"Second-level apprentices have learned at least one level 1 witchcraft. Their mental bodies are strong enough to withstand more dangerous meditation diagrams. They can choose to change meditation diagrams." Monica faced Thor again and had restored her original smile, " But when you enter the third-class apprenticeship, you won't need the meditation chart."
"No need?" Thor was stunned, but he quickly reacted, "Locator?"
Monica raised her eyebrows, "It seems You have really learned a lot of advanced knowledge. This is good, but it is also dangerous."
Monica stretched out a finger and lightly tapped Sol's forehead.
"Bang!"
An electric arc flashed.
Thor was startled and immediately dodged back, but there was still a pain on his forehead.
"If you learn too much knowledge beyond your current abilities, you must be prepared to bear the corresponding risks behind the knowledge."
After saying that, Monica put her hands behind her back and continued to move forward, leaving Sol holding his forehead and thinking alone.
Almost all seniors and mentors have mentioned that wizards will encounter unknown dangers in their pursuit of knowledge.
At first, Thor thought that when learning complex knowledge, the brain, or the spiritual body, would become dizzy and collapse due to the complex and profound knowledge.
But now that I think about it, it seems more than that.
This gave him the illusion that knowledge was actually a monster.
Unfortunately, no one answered this question.
Sol was thinking about this issue until after class, lunch, and arriving on the second floor of the East Tower.
However, before entering the corpse room, he met Mentor Kaz again.
"Mentor?" Sol was a little surprised. Normally, Mentor Kaz would not appear so frequently.
He's been seeing his mentor a little too frequently lately.
"As the first place in the test, you can choose a companion flower, and I will take you there." After Kaz finished speaking, before Thor could answer, he put his hands behind his back and left.
Thor followed confused.
The reward of companion flowers was first mentioned by senior Luo Kai.
Because the other party was the apparent leader of the mutual aid association, Sol didn't want to have much interaction with him, so he didn't take the companion flower to heart.
Unexpectedly, the instructor would take him to pick companion flowers himself.
While following Tutor Kaz, Sol took out "Basic Cognition of All Things" from his backpack and searched for it in the Plants chapter.
Companion flower: It can establish a blood connection with a living body and die after bearing fruit. There are many kinds of fruits with different functions, mainly improving a little magic power and stabilizing spiritual power.
A few words of introduction gave Sol some expectations for the companion flowers.
Increasing the magic value may become a subject that Thor will study forever.
Then, Thor found himself and Mentor Kaz turning into an unseen passage.
This seems to be the fifth floor of the East Tower. It is a warehouse and is not a place where apprentices can enter at will.
After Sol followed Kaz and turned in, he passed by the warehouse gate and continued to move forward. Then he turned into an intersection. As he walked, the road began to slope downwards.
This time they walked down for a long time.
Thor stuffed the books haphazardly back into his backpack and looked forward curiously.
The gray stone bricks are gradually covered with dust, and the candlelights on both sides are becoming more and more sparse and old.
One of the lampstands was damaged and was hanging diagonally on the wall.
This has never happened before in the tower.
In his impression, the Wizard Tower was always clean and orderly, and there was always someone taking good care of everything in the tower.
Thor began to wonder where the companion flowers were.
After all, they are plants, and most of them still live in the soil.
And the land in the Wizard Tower is limited... Will the accompanying flowers be outside?
Sol's heart gradually rose, and he was looking forward to it, but also afraid of looking forward to it.
I'm afraid I'll be disappointed in the end.
But this time life finally did not disappoint him.
After descending some distance, Thor saw a wooden door with a metal frame, which opened wide.
None of the nearby candles were lit, but it wasn't dark at all.
An extremely bright but gentle light shone in from outside the door, forming a strong contrast with the pale candlelight.
Teacher Kaz came here, paused, turned back to Sol, who had stretched his neck and started to look around, and said: "Calm down, don't act like an ignorant monkey." Sol immediately shrank his neck
.
But his eyes were still shining.
"Teacher, are we going to leave the tower?"
"Don't make a fuss. When you reach level two, you will have many opportunities to leave the tower. I don't let you leave the tower now because I don't want your minds to be disturbed by the outside world and not study hard. Yeah."
Kaz glared at Thor, always feeling that this young apprentice would embarrass him.
As he got closer and closer to the door out of the tower, a picture came back to Sol's mind.
That was the horrific scene I saw at Instructor Rum: charred earth, bubbling mud, scattered corpses, and unknown black tentacles... Could
that be the scene at the bottom of the tower? A place like purgatory.
Mentor Kaz's figure had disappeared behind the door. Thor took a deep breath and took a step outside.
Even if it's scary, it's still fascinating.
However...
a breeze blew over my face first, bringing with it the smell of moist grass.
Behind the gate of the Wizard Tower is a flat land.
There is no dark mud, only light yellow soil.
Underfoot are specially built roads that extend in all directions to facilitate people's travel.
There is still a blue sky above the head, and there are still green mountains and dense forests in the distance. Everything has not transformed into a hell on earth in the near distance.
A short distance up the road is a garden, simply separated by a wooden fence. A small wooden house was built at the entrance of the garden, and a person could be vaguely seen sitting inside.
Through the fence, you can see inside the garden, where many colorful flower branches are swaying in the wind. It just looks a little messy and doesn't look like it's been carefully arranged.
There was a sound of horse hooves accompanied by the sound of wheels.
Saul turned his head to look and saw a two-man carriage approaching quickly from far away and approaching along another avenue.
The road leads from the other direction to the Wizard's Tower.
The carriage was quickly obscured by the high walls of the Wizard Tower and disappeared behind the tower.
"That's the entrance to the vehicle over there." Kaz explained smoothly when he saw Sol stop and look into the distance.
Sol nodded, shifted his gaze, and the surrounding scenery came into view.
The wizard's tower stands in an uninhabited wilderness, and there are only shadows of other villages far away. I wonder if ordinary people were deliberately driven away.
But although there is no one here, it is not as scary as in the illusion, just a little lonely.
Saul couldn't help but guess, "The scene I saw back then, was Master Rum trying to scare me, or was it my fantasy?"
