Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1818 Pruning and maintenance of the field of life
Soon, through repeated experience of the external "sound" perception process, Xia Duo successfully unlocked the touch of Schilling's body and "natural perception".

The former allows Xia Duo to feel the existence of Schilling's body instead of nothingness like before. In addition, he also has the perception of the outside breeze, soil nutrients, etc., collectively referred to as "touch".

As for "natural perception", it is also a special perception named after Xia Duo's own summary.

With the help of Schilling's special treant body, Xia Duo can perceive the life around him and even the flow of natural forces. This is somewhat similar to drow's radiation perception, or the shimmer perception that is more sensitive than humans.

Schilling's natural perception cannot see the specific appearance of creatures, but can perceive the vitality of life inside the creatures. As for the "force of nature", it is more like a special field jointly constructed between life and life.

As a human being, it is difficult for Xia Duo to fully fit into the perspective of this non-human race. Various novel experiences beyond his previous cognition made him very interesting.

Even if none of the planned tasks were completed this trip, Xia Duo felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The tree man's perspective has greatly expanded Xia Duo's vision. Now countless sparks of inspiration have emerged in his mind, and at the same time he has a new understanding of elf magic.

In the past, he still couldn't understand why the elves developed such a magic system that was close to the classical idea of ​​the unity of man and nature. It stands to reason that magic, a more technical theory, should be based on practicality.

Just like Nether magic, Nether mages gave up elf magic easily. Not only did it take longer to learn elf magic, but also the practical principle of Nether magic itself.

Isn't it more convenient to directly control the magic net than to go out of your way to match the magic net?
Xia Duo thought so in the past, and of course he does now, but after experiencing the tree-man's perspective now, he suddenly felt that the elves' approach might not be without merit.

More importantly, he guessed the origin of elven magic, not like the Nethers who suddenly came into contact with a mature magic system, and then created the current Nether magic system (Australian fire system).

Xia Duo guessed that elf magic might have been born from the naturally awakened treants in the forest. Of course, it could also be that the elves and treants slowly explored the most primitive method of manipulating the vitality of life and the power of nature during their long-term relationship with each other.

After a long period of development and perfection, it became the elf magic system that Xia Duo is familiar with today.

……

In this way, while exploring himself, he tried his best to perceive the outside world. Before he knew it, it was time for the "pruning and maintenance" that the elf said before.

"Elder Schilling, Alvin offended."

A respectful male elf voice awakened Xia Duo from his deep perception, and made him notice that more than a dozen special fields full of vitality appeared around him.

The speaking elf's life field is somewhat declining, as if he is getting old, the other five are in the most perfect and strong state, and the remaining three or four reveal a sense of growth as the rising sun.

If there is no accident, the "gardening team" that the elf mentioned before should be headed by the middle-aged elf Alvin, with five young elves as the core. As for the three or four obviously children, they probably came to play.

Relying on the characteristics of tree people, Xia Duo didn't reply at all, but like the previous elf, Alvin's team seemed to be accustomed to this. After greeting, he greeted the team members and started their work immediately.

On the contrary, those elf children jumped up and down, and took away many leaves that still had perception from Xia Duo, and this scene also allowed Xia Duo to unlock part of Schilling's memory again.

It's about Alvin.

I don't know how many years ago, when Alvin was a child, the other party also did this kind of thing, and was brought to Schilling by his parents and spanked.

Later, it was Xilin who begged for help, so that the beating was avoided. As for why these children picked up Xilin's leaves, it was entirely because Xilin's body was a weir tree that was very rare even in the elf country .

The leaves of the weir tree can be used not only as spell-casting materials, but also as a long-lasting text carrier, and even as a material for magic scrolls.

Under normal circumstances, without Schilling's permission, ordinary elves cannot approach Schilling's body. If leaves are needed, Schilling's gardening team will collect the naturally fallen leaves.

But the elf children don't care about these things, they will come over to grab a few times when they have the opportunity, and the best opportunity is undoubtedly the annual pruning and maintenance time.

Schilling's body is very tall and has many branches. At the same time, there are only six members of the gardening team, which makes the annual pruning and maintenance last for about ten days.

So some children took advantage of the slack management during this period to follow up and take some leaves back home to subsidize their families. This was actually acquiesced by Schilling, otherwise it would not have become a tradition that lasted for hundreds of years.

Of course, in the eyes of children, maybe they are also helping Schilling take care of him.

From time to time, Xia Duo could still hear these children say innocently in their immature voices: "Grandpa Xilin, let me squeeze your arms for you."

Now Schilling has changed internally, but Xia Duo doesn't want to bother with those children. They are just a few leaves, without complex perception, let alone pain, and the most important thing is that compared to the huge body of the body, These are completely negligible.

In fact, even the pruning and maintenance of Alvin's team will cut off some normal branches. Xia Duo is not very familiar with gardening, but from the changes before and after the life field, this kind of pruning and maintenance is beneficial to Schilling's body .

In fact, Xia Duo himself really likes these children crawling on him. In addition to reminding him of the happy memories of running wild everywhere when he was a child, these elf children who almost never stop chattering also help him unlock more Schilling memory.

Compared with these noisy children, the adult elves of Alvin's team are undoubtedly much quieter. Although they are doing the most professional things, they are hard to please Xia Duo.

Now in front of Xia Duo, there is basically no problem with perception and cognition, and the rest is the ability to cast spells.

If he couldn't get the ability to cast spells, even if he had such a novel and interesting experience as an incarnation tree man, he would have to return early.

As for how to cast the spell, there happened to be an elf kid, and he was going to try the bloodline ability first.

When entering the projection plane several times before, Xia Duo has discovered that with the higher degree of bloodline awakening, even in the projection plane, not his own body, he can still retain a certain amount of bloodline ability.

This is actually easy to understand. Xia Duo's awakened bloodline is awakened through the soul's stimulation of the power of faith. His bloodline is not limited to the body, but also lies in the soul.

Astral projection brings a bit of soul essence, and under normal circumstances, a certain amount of bloodline ability should be retained, but before the bloodline awakens to a certain level, the bloodline ability of projecting the body is more like a hidden talent, which is difficult to show.

　The power of nature perceived by tree people is different from the holy power of nature. The former is the law and phenomenon of life field communication and interference between different lives, not a specific power.

The natural sacred power is related to gods, or it is related to some kind of conceptual entity related to nature. It is a specific and real power, or energy can also be used.
