Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1817 Projecting Elder Sharvin Again

At noon that day, Xia Duo and Niya had lunch at the lord's villa in Linshui Village as usual. Just halfway through the meal, the two stopped their chopsticks almost unanimously, and looked at each other:
"I found the projection plane!"*2
"Well, I'll go back first, come back after you finish eating!"

Time waits for no one. After Xia Duo finished speaking, he immediately teleported back to the Tower of Time, and then teleported to the plane exploration layer one after another. In this case, of course, Niya would not stay in Linshui Village. Xia Duo's side.

When Xia Duo activated the astral projection, he softly said "Be careful", but Xia Duo had no time to reply, and his spiritual consciousness was suddenly sucked into the light ball above the projection hall.

First there was a very short pause, followed by an extremely fast jump, this process Xia Duo had experienced many times before.

But I have to say that every time it left a very deep impact on him, including this time——

It's like the jump flight in science fiction movies on Earth, except that in the movie the jump is the spaceship, at this moment Xia Duo's jump is his consciousness!

On Earth, consciousness is usually described as the reflection of the human mind on the objective material world, which is the sum of various psychological processes such as feeling and thinking.

In other words, consciousness is just a metaphysical concept, not something concrete.

But in the magical world, there are always various experiences that can make people deeply feel the reality of consciousness and the reality of soul.

At this moment, his consciousness is like an elongated noodle, which is continuously elongated during the leap, until a silver void appears in front of his eyes.

Grand and vast.

But then, the silver void disappeared.In a trance, Xia Duo felt countless soft lights appearing around him. Although these lights were not stimulating, they still gave people a relaxed and pleasant feeling.

But such a scene inevitably reminded him of his previous experience in [Projected Plane Underdark]——

After entering the projection plane that time, there was also light around him. At that time, he turned into a drow who was extremely afraid of light. To him, the light was almost like a death penalty.

That experience left a deep impression on his heart, and it could even be called a "shadow".Entering the projection plane this time and encountering countless rays of light again, Xia Duo had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Letting go of his perception, Xia Duo wanted to see what the environment around him was like, and what race he had become this time.

But after several perceptions, there are still only countless lights around. As for himself, he feels that the race of this incarnation is very different from before, at least he has not yet perceived his own body.

Or he sensed it, but this body could not be controlled by him, as if imprisoned by some kind of force.

"How could this be?"

Xia Duo fell into a deep confusion at this time. Although he didn't feel any discomfort in terms of "body sensation", this feeling of being unable to control himself and his environment made him feel extremely uneasy.

"what is the problem?"

Despite being confused and disturbed, Xia Duo still did not give up, and was still trying to perceive himself. One thing he was sure of was——

Since it can be projected, no matter how special this body is, it is possible for him to control it.

Although there are many coincidences and randomness in entering the projection plane, there are still certain rules to follow. It is similar to throwing a glass ball with a flat bottom. It may not stop at a certain place, but there must be a pit where it stops. of.

This pit can be regarded as the fit between the consciousness of the projected traveler and the individual of the projected plane. Some pits are of appropriate size, some are slightly larger, and some are slightly smaller.

But in the end, there is a degree of fit, understandable and controllable.

Of course, having said that, Xia Duo also set a deadline for himself, if he could not successfully control the avatar's body and gain the ability to cast spells within one month, he would leave.

Being trapped in this body is not beneficial for him to explore planes, let alone use it to design mythal locks. One month is the limit he can accept. He doesn't want to waste any more, so he might as well go back and do it again.

If he is lucky, this projection plane can support him to project a few more times. Even if he is unlucky, there is still the last path of the Arcane Federation. Anyway, he can't spend it here all the time.

……

Due to the unfamiliarity of the body, although there is perception, but the perception is incomplete, Xia Duo's concept of time is very vague, and he only calculates it based on the time he perceives in his heart.

Almost two days later, of course, the actual time may be shorter. On this day, Xia Duo was a little irritated thinking about whether to return to the main plane in advance.

Although in the past two days, he has gained some gains, for example, the body he is incarnating now does not need to eat, nor will he feel weak.

There is also the light outside, there will be periodic light and dark changes, and so on.

But all these did not help him to control this body. On the contrary, during the long period of confinement, his patience was worn down very quickly. After only two days of perception in his heart, he could hardly hold on anymore.

One can imagine what kind of torment a month will be.

"Do you want to return early?"

Undoubtedly, once such a tempting thought arises, it will not disappear easily. Xia Duo's heart is constantly shaking, until he "hears" a voice in elf language that can be called heavenly——

"Elder Xi Lin, the pruning and maintenance for tomorrow afternoon has been arranged. Do you have any orders from the elder?"

"Elder Schilling" and "pruning and maintenance", as soon as these two concepts came out, Xia Duo immediately "unlocked" part of the memory of this body. It turned out that "he" was the elder of the Salvin Tree Council!
The so-called "trimming and maintenance" is naturally not the trimming of hair and nails as understood by ordinary people, but the dead branches and leaves of Xi Lin, a special elder.

Yes, the body of Xia Duo's incarnation this time turned out to be a tree, or more precisely, a treant!
He racked his brains and thought about it for a long time before, but he never thought of it. After all, in the main plane, although the existence of tree people is not a secret, the sense of existence is low enough, even so low that it is completely unexpected .

Xia Duo didn't answer the elf's question. On the one hand, he hadn't controlled the body yet, so he didn't know how to reply. On the other hand, he didn't want to communicate with the outside world until he had a general understanding of Schilling's memory.

Anyway, the current self is a tree, so it is normal not to reply.

Sure enough, when Xia Duo didn't respond, the other party still gave a reply of "Understood, I will arrange your gardening team to come over tomorrow".

After the elf's voice completely disappeared, Xia Duo's irritability accumulated in the past two days also disappeared. At this moment, he seemed to have just discovered a novel toy and was groping around.
