Chapter 1247 Meditation crystal shocks the soul
"When the Yeerlan elves taught us magic, they brought a kind of meditation crystal, which can help beginners quickly integrate with the magic net.

"But that kind of crystal can affect people's temperament, make people become extreme, and it was quickly abandoned by us.

"Of course, if it is only used temporarily, it will not cause too serious consequences. If you need it, I have one here!
"The other is the legendary enlightenment ceremony, but I can't help you in this regard. Even in the kingdom of elves, this spell has long been lost."

Iolum's reply provided two methods, one of which was the "enlightenment ceremony" mentioned by Chairman Jenna, of course Xia Duo knew that this probably referred to the "master-apprentice ceremony" when the elf mages entered school.

As for the meditation crystal, Xia Duo also had an impression, but it was more of an auxiliary accessory for calming the mind and dormancy in the eyes of the elf mage.

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".

It's just that in this state, as long as the elves have undergone certain training and familiarity, they can maintain a clear self-consciousness, and in this state, they can perform all activities except body movement.

Studying magic, or studying poetry and literature are common.

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

Today was the first time he had heard the saying that the meditation crystal, the "sleeping drug of elves", would make human temperament extreme, but he didn't think that Iolum was fooling him.

Perhaps it was due to the differences in the physical structures of the two races that they reacted differently to the meditation crystals.

Most of the knowledge about elves and elf magic in Xia Duo's memory comes from the projection plane, especially the [Sword of Ruler] in [Projection Plane Birth of Comanthor].

However, the timeline of the projected plane is too far behind the main plane, and the elves at that time hardly had much communication with humans.

Apart from [Arcane Empire], [The 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 away.

It has been more than 100 years since the establishment of Netheril. Although Xia Duo obtained the knowledge at that time, although it is not necessarily backward, there must be no relevant content related to the current Netherese and Netherian magic.

It's like the meditation crystal has different effects on the existence of elves and humans, and a ritual ritual spell has turned into a so-called "enlightenment ceremony" with miraculous effects on the human side.

Xia Duo suddenly felt that it might be possible to use [True Advanced Knowledge of Ancient Elves] to exchange knowledge and research materials on Nether people and Nether magic in the current era with the elven kingdoms based on [Lost Modern Elves' Backward Knowledge]. .

Of course, doing so is somewhat suspected of being an enemy. Xia Duo still needs to think about it carefully to see if it is worthwhile to do so.

……

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

Since the teacher was able to provide help, Xia Duo would definitely not refuse. He personally went to Iolum to get a 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 to actively fit the magic net, but used it as a backup option.

The master-apprentice ceremony is not a very complicated spell. After all, it is just a ritual ritual spell, and more attention is paid to the elf cultural significance it represents, rather than the spell itself.

In fact, this spell itself has almost no special effects for elves, at least for those high-level mages who have injected knowledge and experience into [Sword of Ruler], this is indeed the case.

As for Xia Duo, even if the ritual process of master-student joint casting is abandoned, the complexity of casting this spell by a single person is less than one-tenth of the process of making the magic-slaying arrow.

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

For Xia Duo, the casting success rate of this kind of elf spell is close to 100%. As long as the casting process is correct, there is no need to try luck at all. (The Demon Slaying Arrow takes more than four minutes)
……

Calling up all the details of this spell from memory, Xia Duo practiced in the laboratory for a while, and quickly cast the spell successfully.

And at the moment when the spell took effect, Xia Duo felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. This feeling is hard to describe in words, as if he had climbed to a peak and his heart suddenly opened up.

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

All of these, intertwined, shocked Xia Duo deeply, until the effect of the spell completely disappeared, he still kept reminiscing about 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, perceiving his own soul, and soon, he discovered the changes around his soul.

The mysterious radiance originally inspired by the power of faith hitting the surface of the soul has become even larger at this moment!

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 while, Xia Duo couldn't think of any reason. He really 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, and cared too much about the help of this spell in the trial production of the demon-slaying arrow. The same spell may have completely different effects on elves and humans.

As the saying goes, "the other's honey is my poison", we must pay attention to it.

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

……

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

But the glow around the soul should be some kind of product produced by the power of faith through a certain feedback mechanism of the soul. It has changed. If the power of faith is excluded, it must be a subtle change in the soul .

For now, such changes are still positive.

But in the long run, that's not necessarily the case.

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