Chapter 17 Ruins (1)
In the room, Lynn was flipping through the sleeping spell magic book.
Maybe it was the stimulation of alcohol, but something that was originally obscure and difficult to understand now turned out to be analogous, which inspired him quite a bit.
Constructing the spell frame needs to be anchored first.
Treat the spiritual sea as a three-dimensional space, and anchoring is to turn the spiritual power into a nail in a special form to fix the nodes in this space.
Then connect the nodes to construct the corresponding spell frame model.
This is the basic requirement for constructing a spell frame.
And for beginners, anchoring is not easy.
It’s like the meditation in Zen. The reasoning is there, but there are only a few people who can really achieve meditation. Even professional monks need a long time to achieve this step from scratch.
Knowing and being able to do are always two different things.
However, Lin En is not completely without foundation. Meditation is the front. If you can meditate, you can enter the spiritual world.
Lin En has practiced meditation, and for most people, he already has a certain foundation.
At the beginning, Lynn considered other methods, such as using some tricks to avoid the anchoring step.
But after thinking about it later, I turned the mental power into a nail in a special form to fix the nodes in the space.
is essentially to make the spell framework more rigorous.
Lynn still understands the reason why a small difference is a thousand miles away.
A problem with one part of a precision machine may cause the entire machine to fail.
I am still an apprentice now, just follow the steps and follow the experience of the predecessors honestly. Creating new paths is not what I should do at this stage, and I don’t have to ruin my future just because I am greedy for temporary progress.
But how should we anchor? The spiritual sea is a three-dimensional space.
At least in Lynn's perception.
It’s not a two-dimensional painting, how can the mental power be turned into a nail to hold it firmly in three-dimensional space.
Lin En tried various methods, but none of them could shake the spiritual sea in the slightest.
But when he saw the earth ring slowly rotating in the center of the spiritual sea, Lin En suddenly had an idea in his head, and he practiced the sleeping spell. Essentially, the sleeping spell is a skill framework.
But according to what the teacher said, after the earth ring meditation is completed, a one-ring magic earth ring will be generated in the mind.
This ring of spells will never appear out of thin air! Then isn't the floating and rotating earth ring in my mind an unformed skill framework in an alternative sense?
Meditating on the earth ring by yourself is to condense the prototype of each ring in the earth ring in your mind, and then continuously compress, compress, and re-compress.
Through this condensation process, the soul debris in the surrounding air is attracted to form the earth ring.
Of course, there are some technical principles involved, but Lynn, who has been meditating for several months, has already grasped these technical principles thoroughly.
That is to say, there is no technical difficulty in implementing it.
It is recorded in the book that soul debris is a kind of energy that overflows into the air after the death of all things.
Essentially, it is a kind of actualization of spiritual power.
So, anchoring is to fix the mental power at the origin through this technique of compressing mental power?
Although I didn't try it, Lynn thinks it should be similar.
I have been obsessed with fixing my mental power into a nail shape before, and I was also influenced by empiricism.
The rings of the earth ring can be condensed in the spiritual sea, so you don’t need to condense into too complicated shapes when you anchor yourself, you only need to condense into the simplest circles.
Next, Lynn tried a bit, and quickly condensed the first anchor.
In the spiritual sea, a ring-shaped spiritual force is fixed in place.
Lin En looked left and right, no matter how ugly he looked, this anchor looked unorthodox.
The main reason is that he has only learned the meditation method of the earth ring, which can only compress the spiritual power of this shape.
Forget it, the basic problem has been solved, let’s improve the shape problem later.
Already know how to draw circles, draw triangles, positive directions, straight lines, points, is it still far away!
Boom boom boom.
The knock on the door woke Lynn from his meditation.
In the room, Lynn opened his eyes.
"Who?" Lynn frowned.
"It's me, master." Lauren's voice came from outside the door.
Lin En sensed it for a while, and through the spell controlled in his mind, he sensed that it was indeed Lauren outside the door, not someone else pretending to be it.
So Lynn went to open the door, Lynn stood sideways behind the door.
"Come in." As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn smelled a strange smell.
The source of this smell is the half of what Lauren is holding.
"What's this?" Lynn asked.
"Master, this is a good thing." Lauren walked in and closed the door.
Tell Lynn what happened to him just now.
"You mean, you saw some monsters in the mine, and then that lizard almost ate up all the monsters in the mine, leaving half of the corpse?"
Lynn looked at the half of the corpse that Lauren was holding.
It felt a little strange to him, the monster's head was extremely smooth, as if it had a metal film on it.
In addition, the body behind this monster is pink and tender, one section at a time, and there is a pale golden ring in the middle of each section. The external force forcibly bit it into two halves.
"Why is there still a metal-like shell, a bit like artificial traces." Lynn guessed in his heart.
This monster gave Lynn a very strange feeling, with an indescribably weird feeling.
"Did you not be seen by others when you came up?"
Lynn asked.
"No, I avoided the others," Lauren said.
He knows that he is not a human being now, rashly exposing himself to human sight can only cause panic, and he does not have the ability to hide from that lizard monster.
Lynn nodded when he heard the words, and then focused on the monster in Lauren's hand.
Maybe it’s because I’ve read too much of the teacher’s lab notes recently.
Lin En looked at the stump of the monster, and couldn't help but want to try it.
Where the back end of this monster was bitten open, the tender white meat was directly exposed.
There was no colored liquid coming out of the wound, the only thing coming out of the monster's body was a transparent viscous liquid, perhaps this was its blood.
Lynn took a little, and found out through testing that these liquids are not corrosive.
He tapped the monster's head again, the feeling was similar to that of metal.
At the top of the head, through inspection, Lynn found a chrysanthemum-shaped mouthpart that could be opened.
There are many silver-white high-hardness sharp teeth inside.
Then Lynn discovered an amazing fact, these silver-white sharp teeth are harder than iron!
Lin En looked at the button in his hand that was easily pierced by sharp teeth, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Lauren, who was squatting next to Lynn, looked at Lynn adoringly and earnestly in a professional inspection.
At this moment, it only feels that the corpse of the monster it brought back has given full play to its maximum value!
Eating it like that big lizard is the biggest waste.
"Master, I saw it get out of the soil and eat half a person in one bite." Lauren said, pointing to the monster's teeth.
"You mean it moves very fast in the soil?"
Lynn asked.
Lauren nodded impatiently.
Lynn rubbed his chin with his fingers, and he didn't know why.
It may be the effect of a certain spell, or it may be its skin or other reasons, just like the large lizard that can only be invisible.
Then Lynn continued to study the monster corpse for a while with a curious attitude.
But as he kept checking and groping, Lynn became more and more weird.
This earthworm-like monster really gave him an artificial trace, a bit like alchemy, but he hasn't seen alchemy, so he can't be sure.
He thought of the alchemy-related records mentioned in the notes, and tried to compare the knowledge in his mind with the reality.
It is said that some wizards study alchemy to transform monsters or magic equipment. I heard that some wizards specially create alchemy golems to protect the security of the wizard tower and prevent them from being disturbed by small thieves during experiments. It is said that there are wizards who will build laboratories next to some precious mineral deposits, so that they can directly obtain materials, and directly turn the raw ore into a steady stream of alchemy puppets.
Mine I heard that there is an iron mine near the town.
Could a wizard have done some sort of experiment here?
But this is just an iron mine. Building a laboratory in an iron mine is a bit shabby if it is really a wizard.
Of course, this is just Lynn's guess.
It is also possible that these monsters were originally living in the mine, and the workers accidentally dug into their lair to release these monsters.
But it can't explain the artificial traces on these monsters. Could it be that these monsters were sealed here and were accidentally released by workers?
Lin En's eyes kept flickering.
"Do you remember where that mine is?"
Lynn asked.
Lauren nodded.
"I remember."
"Take me over there, let's find that lizard brother first." Lynn added. Only myself and Lauren may be more dangerous, but if the lizard is willing to accompany it, the safety will be greatly improved. Although I don't know what level of monster this lizard is, I can be sure that the combat power is definitely stronger than myself and Lauren. Stand taller.
Lauren hesitated to speak.
That lizard seems to be female.
