Chapter 1147 Meditation Crystal, Shocking the Soul

"When the Ellan elves taught us magic, they brought a meditation crystal that could help beginners quickly connect with the magic network.

“But that kind of crystal would have an impact on people’s temperament and make them become extreme, so we quickly abandoned it.

"Of course, if you only use it temporarily, it won't cause too serious consequences. If you need it, I have one here!

"The other thing is the legendary initiation ceremony, but I can't help you in this regard. Even in the Elf Kingdom, this spell has long been lost."

Iolum's reply provided two methods, one of which was the "enlightenment ceremony" mentioned by President Jenna. Of course, Shado knew that this probably referred to the "master-disciple ceremony" when the elf mage entered school.

As for the meditation crystal, Xia Duo also had an impression, but for the elf mage, it was more of an auxiliary accessory to soothe the mind during dormancy.

Due to the natural differences between races, elves do not need to sleep like humans, but they will also rest, which is called "meditation", "meditation" or "trance".

However, in this state, as long as the elf undergoes certain training and familiarity, it can maintain a clear self-awareness, and can perform all activities except physical movement in this state.

It is very common to study magic, or study poetry and literature.

The meditation crystal is a precious gem created by an elf mage. It can emit a special radiation field, allowing the elf in it to rest more fully, similar to the "sleeping pill" in Xia Duo's understanding.

It was the first time today that he heard the saying that meditation crystals, "elf sleeping pills", would make human temperaments become extreme, but he did not think that Iolum was fooling him.

Perhaps it is due to the different body structures of the two races that they have different reactions to meditation crystals.

Most of the knowledge about elves and elven magic in Sha Duo's memory comes from the projection plane, especially the [Sword of Dominance] in [The Birth of Cormanthor in the Projection Plane].

But the timeline of the projection plane lags far behind the main plane, and the elves at that time had little interaction with humans.

Except for [Arcane Empire], [Birth of Cormanthor] is the projection plane closest to the timeline of the current main plane, but it is at least nearly a thousand years apart.

It was built more than a hundred years before Netheril was founded, and the knowledge Shado obtained at that time, although not necessarily backward, certainly does not have any content related to the current Netherese people and Netherese magic.

Just like the different effects of meditation crystals on elves and humans, and a ceremonial ritual spell turned into a so-called "enlightenment ritual" with miraculous effects on humans.

Sha Duo suddenly felt that he might be able to use [True·Advanced Knowledge of Ancient Elves] to exchange with the elven kingdoms their knowledge and research data on Nese people and Nese magic based on the [Lost Modern Elves’ Backward Knowledge] in the current era. .

Of course, doing so would be somewhat suspected of capitalizing on the enemy. Xia Duo still needs to think carefully to see if it is worth it.

…

Communication with the elves on the current timeline of the main plane is still a bit far away for Xia Duo. What he wants to complete most at the moment is the trial production of the demon-slaying arrow.

Since the teacher could provide help, Shado would definitely not refuse. He personally went to Iolum and got a piece of meditation crystal with a light yellow glow.

After returning to the laboratory, he did not directly use the meditation crystal to adjust his mental state and actively integrate with the magic network, but used it as a backup option.

The master-disciple ritual is not a very complicated spell. After all, it is just a ceremonial ritual spell. It pays more attention to the elven cultural significance it represents rather than the spell itself.

In fact, this spell itself has almost no special effect on the elves, at least in the eyes of the high-ranking mages who inject knowledge and experience into the [Sword of Dominance].

For Xia Duo, even if the ritual process of master and apprentice jointly casting spells is abandoned, the complexity of casting this spell alone is less than one-tenth of the process of creating and casting the demon-slaying arrow.

In other words, the actual casting time only takes about 30 seconds.

For Xia Duo, the success rate of casting an elf spell of this length is close to 100%. As long as the casting process is correct, there is no need to try luck at all. (It takes more than four minutes to kill the demon arrow)

…

Recalling all the details of this spell from his memory, Sha Duo practiced for a while in the laboratory and quickly successfully cast the spell.

The moment the spell took effect, Xia Duo felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. This feeling was difficult to describe in words, as if he had reached a peak and his mind suddenly opened up.

It is also like falling into the deep sea and endless loneliness flooding into my heart, or being with my family and feeling extremely warm.

The intertwining of all these things shocked Xia Duo deeply. Until the effect of the spell completely disappeared, he was still recalling it in his memory.

When he came back to his senses, Xia Duo realized that he had been in a daze for nearly a minute!

So, he immediately entered a state of extreme concentration and sensed his soul. Soon, he discovered the changes around his soul.

The mysterious glow originally inspired by the power of faith hitting the surface of the soul has become even larger now!

But this is not because the power of faith has increased. The power of faith has not changed significantly. It is more like the efficiency of some kind of feedback mechanism has become higher.

For a moment, Xia Duo couldn't figure out what was going on. He knew too little about the soul.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Xia Duo felt that he was a little too reckless. He was too concerned about the help of this spell in the trial production of the Demon Slayer Arrow. The same spell may have completely different effects on elves and humans.

As the saying goes, "one man's honey is my poison", it is important to be careful.

Of course, it was also because Jenna and Iolum mentioned the "initiation ceremony" that Xia Duo subconsciously ignored the possible risks.

...

Then Xia Duo carefully sensed the state of the soul itself, but he did not find any obvious changes in the soul from the last time he sensed it.

But the glow around the soul should be a product of the power of faith through a certain feedback mechanism of the soul. It has changed. Excluding the factor of the power of faith, the soul must have undergone some subtle changes.

For now, such a change is still positive.

But in the long run, that is not necessarily the case.

Of course, if this change is negative, then the power of faith is completely negative.
