Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1921 The Reality in the Illusion
If the methods of the elves are regarded as spiritual spells, then there are probably only two ways for Xia Duo to pass the invisible boundary.

One is to avoid being disturbed by psychic spells from oneself, and just step over the invisible boundary set by the elves.

The other is to find a way to reality in the illusion by observing the changes in the environment, even though the real way may seem very outrageous.

For Xia Duo, who has temporarily lost the ability to cast spells, the former is actually unreliable, because he has no way of confirming whether he has been or has not been interfered by spells.

Forcing a firm belief may be able to exempt from the influence of psychic spells, but this may not be a series of traps designed by the elves in advance.

As for the latter, the change in the environment may even follow the mind of the disturbed person and interact with the disturbed person's state of mind.

It is not very reliable to find a way to the truth from it.

But in comparison, the latter may be more reliable.

Without the ability to cast spells, it is almost impossible to fight against the spells of elves. Even Xia Duo has only a glimmer of hope. After all, the overwhelming advantage of spells is too obvious. A real ordinary person may not even have a glimmer of hope here.

However, compared to serious casters, Xia Duo has a huge advantage, that is, he can trace back his memory, as long as the scenes he observes are inconsistent, even if there is only a slight difference, he can detect it.

In other words, this is his greatest strength.

The elves may interfere with his perception and even the process of memory, but it is difficult to interfere with the established results without being discovered by him.

The so-called "interference" is essentially an attempt to change Xia Duo's cognition of reality, but reality is vast, great, complex and logical, and it is difficult to construct a perfect illusion of reality just by imagination.

Especially when there is an overly exaggerated scene like "ghost hitting the wall", as long as you dig deeper, you will definitely be full of loopholes, but the means that ordinary people can use to explore are limited, and the ability to analyze is also limited.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the means used by the elves are only mind spells. If it is a space-changing spell, then there is no way.

Because that kind of "ghost hitting the wall" itself is a reality, and an ordinary person who cannot cast spells, facing such a miraculous scene, even if he finds some abnormalities, what can he do except sigh?

……

Although Xia Duo thinks that firm belief is not reliable, even though he is physically and mentally exhausted and unbearable, he has not really given up on this attempt. What if it is all right?

Why don't you pass it straight away!

After a little thought, Xia Duo knew what to do next.

He first kept going, until a marked cycle appeared, he stopped temporarily, and then entered a state of concentration.

Before "Halal" actually crossed the threshold of casting spells, Xia Duo could not cast spells even in a state of concentration, otherwise there would be a strong conflict with the historical trajectory of the plane, and he would be directly kicked out of the projection plane.

But in a state of high concentration, Xia Duo's will was extremely concentrated, and for a moment, he could even be sure that he had not received any interference from psychic spells.

But that might just be an illusion created by magic.

In fact, Xia Duo's current situation is a bit like a brain in a vat. In this case, he can only trust his own thinking, as well as the complex and meticulous rules and logic of reality.

……

After entering the state of concentration, Xia Duo temporarily shielded the double exhaustion of his body and consciousness, and continued to walk forward with his spear, while watching the six directions and listening to all directions, trying not to miss any details.

Soon, he encountered the mark left before again. This time, his guess about the methods used by the elves included illusion, not just mind spells.

Illusion and psychic spells belong to different fields, but they are intertwined with each other. Xia Duo is still not sure what method the elves used.

But whether it is illusion or mind, he is not particularly worried. What he is really worried about is the space-changing spells, which are insurmountable obstacles for him in a short time.

Next, Xia Duo kept the previous state and walked again, and then sat down next to the big tree that he had left a mark on, and repeatedly compared in his consciousness the various experiences of "ghost hitting the wall" several times before. sensory information.

"The change of the smell is very coherent, as if in the same confined space, but it also shows a clear timing. At first, there was only the most primitive forest smell, and later I added my own smell. From the perspective of the smell distribution, I just The section of the road that has been traveled should be a continuous and straight space.

"There is no repetition of the sound, which means that it is less likely to be a pure psychic spell or a pure illusion. In order to test this, I can keep the same state and walk twice. If it is a pure illusion or a pure psychic spell, it should be It will also be the same or similar results.

"As for the scene, the timing changes are more obvious. Although the cycle on the forest scene is almost flawless, it is easy to find the flaw through the changes in light, shadow and time."

After a brief analysis, Xia Duo had a certain degree of confidence in how to break the situation. He continued to rest under the tree for a while before getting up and moving on.

When he came to a thick crooked-neck tree, Xia Duo stopped, instead of going around the tree as before, he walked straight towards the center of the tree trunk.

Just a few steps away from the original path, he felt something different under his feet. It was not anything else, but the ground was full of exposed roots of big trees that blocked the road. When he walked over, he felt like he was stepping on On thick moss, soft.

Whether it is illusion or space spells, this is a key scene change node.

As for what kind of spell it is, it depends on whether to enter a new scene or hit a head full of bags next.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo stopped hesitating, opened his eyes and slammed into the big tree. The next moment, the envisioned elf fell from the sky, or directly bumped into his head, but nothing happened.

Xia Duo successfully "unlocked" a new scene, a new forest that he had never been to before, and when he turned his head, not surprisingly, the crooked-neck tree that he "passed through" just now had disappeared.

But through the gaps in the forest obstructed by layers, Xia Duo can vaguely see the rear, which is indeed the cycle scene he has walked through many times.

……

Next, Xia Duo identified the direction and continued to head towards the direction of Evereska. On the way, he encountered "ghosts hitting the wall" twice, but they all crossed over smoothly.

Since then, Xia Duo has not encountered this situation again, and of course, no elves have appeared to arrest him.

Perhaps the elf is too conceited, or it may be that he has entered the vision of the elf observer, but the other party has not yet done anything.

No matter what, Xia Duo knew that he needed to speed up.
