Lord of Arcane

Chapter 191 Dao and Virtue

If not, it's actually not a loss, after all, it can be regarded as getting a new spell, so why don't you want to go back and talk to Griffiths about it?
Xia Duo could only comfort himself in this way. After returning to the Mage Tower, he immediately unfolded the scroll of the mind spell. Unlike when he was in the store just now, he can check it carefully.

It is indeed a new spell that is very different from all the spells he has been exposed to before, but whether it is a mind spell or not, Xia Duo is still unable to determine.

But with a new spell at the base, this deal is not a loss.

Xia Duo couldn't wait to take out his notes and start recording. The learning scroll has a limited time to unfold, and he must hurry up. If the recording is completed before the scroll expires, he can actually use the scroll to see what effect it has.

While recording, Xia Duo is also calculating and reconstructing this spell through arcane geometry, but the more it continues, the more Xia Duo feels that this spell may not be as simple as a mind spell.

He simply gave up understanding completely, and turned to concentrate on recording. The speed immediately increased, and it took two or three hours for Xia Duo to complete the recording.

Because written records are used, the description of the spellcasting details (the operation of the magic net) must be as precise as possible without any ambiguity.

Fortunately, mages have already formed a set of conventions about spell records, coupled with the scientific thinking brought from the earth, Xia Duo believes that his spell notes should be more accurate than ordinary people.

After recording, he reviewed it twice before putting away the notes and scrolls. Xia Duo didn't practice the spell immediately, but called the tower spirit.

"Taling, instruction: Ask, are there any humans in custody on the negative floor? Can it be used for magic experiments?"

"Master Xia Duo, there are currently 2 humans who can be used for experiments."

"I want to apply for one!"

"..."

Ta Ling's silence was expected by Xia Duo, and his current authority is not enough to directly book a live experiment from his residence.

……

When I came to the basement floor, I still felt the oppressive feeling. The roars and howls of various creatures could be heard endlessly. The last and only time I came here was with Mage Jose.

This time he came alone, and the experiment was naturally led by himself. The emotions in his heart were very complicated. The last time it was an orc, this time it was a human.

Although this is a Netherian and an outsider, the same hands, feet, and head still make him feel like an object hurts another.

The mage tower, which seems to be of high order, is real and realistic!
But emotion is emotion after all. When he was on Earth, Xia Duo had seen darker things than this, but when it was his turn, the long-standing sense of morality still bound him.

He feels that today will usher in a major breakthrough. No one can predict whether he will degenerate or reshape and sublimate when he turns over the past.

At this moment, Xia Duo suddenly had the urge to flee. Taking an unrelated human being as an experiment was completely different from killing Old Neil before. He felt at ease and enjoyed killing Old Neil, but now—

Uneasy, a little bit; afraid, a little bit, and even a hint of excitement hidden deep in his heart, Nether has no laws on earth, and the caster is above all.

Xia Duo didn't know how he applied with the mage on duty. He didn't come back to his senses until he came to a prison cell and looked at the cold and cold metal fence.

An unkempt middle-aged man was squatting in a corner, his clothes were torn, he was not wearing shackles, and there was no binding magic inside, he looked like an ordinary person.

Xia Duo took out the study scroll and slowly unfolded it, but he didn't get excited immediately, he was still hesitating, or he was looking for a psychological fulcrum for his behavior.

Whether it is self-deception or not, Xia Duo does not want to let himself become too fast. Although he knows how to do what is best for him, there is still a bottom line that should be there.

Maybe this is the so-called sense of moral superiority, but Xia Duo prefers to call it "personality perfection", or "spiritual civilization construction".

A mage holds powerful power. If there is no perfect personality to manipulate the power, the final outcome will be ruined.

In the past, Xia Duo still couldn't figure it out, but as the power he mastered gradually became stronger, the power itself would seduce him. After all, he could achieve his goal simply and rudely. Who would want to think too much?

Once such a trend is formed, it will be hard to return.In the game on Earth, that might be the case with Nether's Destruction.

Xia Duo never believed in invincible power, but he believed in infinite room for improvement.

Before the prison, words such as "harmony between man and nature" and "harmonious development" quickly flashed through Xia Duo's mind. There were ancient wisdom and exploration of modern people.

In an instant, countless ideas were stirring, colliding with a gradually mature personality.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo activated the scroll without hesitation.

Being in a big environment, his morality can only restrain the inside, but not the outside world. After clarifying his cognition, he will no longer be confused by these.

"A sage does not stay stuck in things, but moves with the world."

In today's world, only the strong can make the rules. If he is the strongest, then he can make the world run according to the rules he set.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt a little dangerous. Disputes involving ideas are often in the domain of gods. He is still just an insignificant low-level mage.

What a long way to go!

……

After the scroll was activated, Xia Duo only "saw" the magic net tumbling in front of him. He waited for a while, but in the end there was no magic effect!

And the ink marks on the activated scroll had disappeared, it seemed that the activation was successful, and the middle-aged man in the corner of the prison did not respond at all.

Xia Duo tentatively called out, "Stand up!"

The man tilted his head, but there would be no more, Xia Duo yelled two more times, but instead of standing up, the other party let out a weak sneer, "Master, you must be stupid when you play magic. Hurry up! Don't waste my time!"

"..."

Xia Duo was not sure whether the spell on the scroll was activated, but even if it was activated, it should not be the so-called [Charm Human].

That person showed no sign of being charmed at all!

Soon, the magic net in front of Xia Duo has subsided, which means that the unknown spell is completely over?Or is there no spell at all?
Can't judge!

"Did Griffiths lie to me? Or did I not control the scroll after I activated it?"

A big question mark appeared in Xia Duo's mind, ignoring the prisoners who were still calling, Xia Duo immediately returned to the sixth floor.

Now he can be regarded as a person with someone behind him, and when he encounters a problem, he should still ask.

……

　Human nature is complicated, and the author is actually hesitating whether to blacken the protagonist, but after all, a mage cannot play alone. If there is communication and contact, there will naturally be rules and a bottom line. For the time being, the bottom line of the protagonist is still high. Some, it will not be blackened~~!

But just as Chuci said, a sage does not stagnate in things, but can move with the world.Being in another world, the protagonist should kill what he should. After the various basic needs are met, the protagonist will also have spiritual pursuits, such as promoting a certain idea, or this is the only way to become stronger in an objective and idealistic world.

Thanks to [Floating Arcanist] for the 100 tip! !
