Arcane Lord

Of course, the dark stone is not the most expensive item in this shop. The most expensive item is a sword hanging from the vine holder in the shop!

The hilt of the sword is blue-grey, and the sword body is translucent, like a crystal with extremely high permeability. The tip of the sword is downward, and you can even see the sword body slightly shrinking and extending, as if a living creature is breathing. .

Seeing this sword, Xia Duo immediately thought of the psionic master who had just seen Zamdas from the south in Dawn Square. He seemed to wear a long sword in this shape around his waist.

It's just that the oppressive feeling given to him was too strong at the time, and he couldn't observe it carefully. Now, looking back and comparing that sword with the current one, it really seems to be carved out of a mold.

The value of the Psionic Master’s sword in Chardonnay is not clear, but in this shop, the price of this similar sword is as high as 600,000, and it must be settled with Komanso gold coins (Shirmel).

It is a magic gold coin that has been spelled by a high-level wizard. It can not be cast privately by digging a little gold. It can be regarded as an anti-counterfeiting measure, and it can also be regarded as a kind of credit currency made of gold.

The black stone of 100,000 gold coins does not have this restriction, only gold coins that meet a certain standard can be used, such as the Mingshui gold coins currently used by Daxia Ling.

Even today when the Northland Alliance has been established, it is possible that the gold coin exchange voucher of the Netheril Offa Federation may work here.

It's just that the Komanzo gold coin, Xia Duo can't put out as much as 600,000 in a short time, otherwise he really wants to buy this sword and study it.

Although he had not been able to observe the magical aura on this sword, Xia Duo was sure that it must be extraordinary only with the sword body that stretched slightly like a living creature's breath.

After thinking about it, he came to the shopkeeper who was suspected to be exercising psionic energy and asked tentatively: "I have seen that sword. What use is it?"

"A powerful human guest! That sword may not be of much use to you. It is a focusing instrument used only by psionic masters. The one you see is just an imitation, not a genuine product from Zamdas."

It was still the sound that came from the void at the very beginning, but this time, under Xia Duo's careful observation, he finally found an abnormality that he hadn't noticed before—

The slight vibration of the magic net involves several combinations of strings of the magic net related to sound waves, but it is not directly operated by the caster, but more like being reversed by a sudden sound wave.

The creatures of the main plane live in the magic net environment. The magic net is not a mechanical and fixed specific creation, but more like a dynamic feedback mechanism that maintains the balance and stability of the elements.

The caster can manipulate the magic net to create various magical effects that affect reality, but conversely, if the reality changes out of thin air, this change will also have a counterproductive effect on the magic net environment.

To judge whether it is magic or not, the most fundamental point is whether the change of the magic net is in the magic system (in a broad sense, it refers to a system that conforms to the law of energy operation and transformation). If it is not, it is not magic.

At this moment, Xia Duo observed that the shock of magic involved several combinations of magic net strings related to sound waves, but they were not complete and could not constitute an energy flow process that conformed to objective laws.

Just a few casting element units, if they were replaced by Chardonnay, they would be able to produce noises that didn't have any practical significance at best, and it was impossible to form the effect of the shopkeeper's void sound transmission.

This means that the so-called psionic magic must contain elements that have nothing to do with objective laws, and there are quite a few, maybe even that is the key!

Perhaps that is the power of idealism!

Xia Duo thoughtfully continued to ask, "Boss, forgive me for my presumption. Are you practicing psionics?"

"Yes, I have been to Zamdas in the south, where I had a psychic enlightenment. After I was exposed to this power, I knew that this is the truth I have been pursuing so hard!"

"truth?"

Xia Duo's heart moved and he seemed to understand something. The store owner, feeling, was a non-mainstream before practising psychic energy. Generally speaking, the status of the mage in the elven society is the highest.

But what the wizard mage pursues is not truth, at least the mainstream is not the pursuit of truth, but the pursuit of the pinnacle of magical skills.

In layman's terms, it is to become a higher mage.

If this step is achieved, the next step may be to seek to leave its own mark on the mortal world, but this step is not necessarily related to magic. It is possible to establish a country and kill people.

The shop owner claims to be a truth seeker, isn't it a non-mainstream. Now that he is practicing psionics, it is even more non-mainstream.

Even in Netheril, there are very few mages dedicated to the pursuit of truth, and almost everyone is busy with the desires in this mundane world.

Becoming a mage is the best way to realize these desires.

To a certain extent, Xia Duo is also such a person, but his desire or ideal has long since broken away from the level of low-level interest and headed for a broader world.

Truth is what he pursues, but it is not the only one, and it is impossible to easily change the only one like this shopkeeper.

For a while, Xia Duo didn't know how to describe the other party. If he didn't insist, he didn't forget to practice even when he was receiving guests.

how to say?

This may be the complexity of intelligent creatures!

It's just that if you embark on the path of idealism, it's hard to say whether you can maintain the complexity of this human nature.

In this regard, Xia Duo was quite emotional.

…

In the process of the shopkeeper’s answer this time, he also observed the shock of the magic net again, and at the same time he also confirmed the speculation just now—

Psionic magic contains ingredients that have nothing to do with objective laws!

But if there is a part that conforms to the objective laws, it will lead to the passive shock of the magic net. This kind of shock has a certain delay and is not long, but it is really a critical moment of the battle, which is very likely to cause very fatal consequences.

Furthermore, Xia Duo also thought, if the power of psionic magic, which is determined by the heart, completely contradicts the objective laws? Will there be no signs at all? Finished the spell without a trace of movement?

Perhaps in the heart of Master Ilfaran, UU reading www. This is how uukanshu.com's impression of psionic magic comes from!

…

Just when Xia Duo was about to ask the shopkeeper for more information about psionics, the smart girl's voice appeared again outside the door—

"Guests here, guests! Welcome, the psionic hut of Kalishrei!"

Afterwards, the fair-skinned and graceful moon elf waitress Luna Heath walked in from outside, and after seeing Xia Duo, she walked straight over.

It's just that she didn't speak when she approached, and after a salute, she just stood quietly beside Xia Duo.

The arrival of Luna Hiss made Chateau’s original intention to say what he swallowed instantly. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he still didn’t want to let this elven aristocrat who was suspected of working for Evreska’s intelligence department know his thoughts and ideas. .

As for the other party's understanding from the shopkeeper, Xia Duo couldn't manage that much. Anyway, up to now, he has not asked any overly sensitive questions.

His performance is no different from a normal tourist.
