high castle elves

So we started again.

The Silent Master remained silent, but in the world of the soul, he still spoke a lot, in addition to giving Alamir many tips on how to use and practice his spiritual powers.

Yes, Alamir discovered the differences between his own spiritual practice and mainstream spiritual practice.His spiritual power seems to have come from martial arts training. Apart from charm and suggestion, there is nothing special about him. Even if he awakens his piety, Alamir can use spiritual power to distort reality and deceive "himself" and " Reality", but it is still not as strong as its own force.

In Alamir's limited knowledge, psychic energy is also a mysterious and niche power, and it is not as good as magic, because there are countless methods of mental protection in other worlds. A mage can prevent and control mental protection. Deceiving Alamir's thinking probe and consciousness detection, not to mention the magician's protection and deception of the mind, is likely to allow you to get wrong information.

Even if you show your spiritual power, you can release fireballs and lightning like a magician, but it is also obtained by distorting reality. The power and difficulty of release are slightly inferior to spells of the same level.

In other words, if psychic power is really so terrifying in the Mind Flayer's Notes, the Mind Flayer has long since unified the universe, so it's not enough to be yelled at and beaten by everyone in the multiverse, and even if it's twisted and convulsed, it's not a practice. Arcane.

Psychic energy is energy that comes from the heart, or from the consciousness of the caster.Therefore, mages generally study the existing arcana as a science, while psychics go further on the path of idealism.

Psychic spells often do not involve spells, rituals, gestures, materials, etc.As long as the mind moves, it can be released. However, compared with the variety of spells, from home travel to killing, it has a wider range of uses. The effects of psychic energy focus more on the spiritual field, reality rewriting, precognition, supersensory, mind control, teleportation, and movement. Objects, time flow, etc.

Move objects with your mind, plant hints, charm, and interfere with reality. In Alamir's view, spiritual power is like a "special function" that depends on personal talent and is very "idealistic" - I think it should This is the case, so psychic magic realizes it.

Including the mind flayer's notes, this is also explained.

If magic is classical mysticism, the style of psychic energy is modern superpowers.

But from the understanding of the Silent Master, or the Githzerai, psychic power is a spiritual power hidden deep in everyone's heart, but the use of this power not only takes a lot of time, but also relies on personal talent. However, every intelligent creature has the potential to use spiritual energy, but it must constantly explore its infinite heart in order to cultivate a steady stream of spiritual energy.

There is quite a sense that Zen Buddhism opens the door to convenience, starts from the heart, seeks perfection "within", and cultivates an indestructible golden body.

In fact, Mengele, the lord of the Githzerai and the spiritual master who guided their practice, is now bound by powerful psychic energy, unable to move or die, making him a nearly immortal body.

Master Silence expressed great amazement that Alamir could cultivate psychic powers from a set of martial arts. He said that if this was true, the popularization of psychic powers could find a new path, and the scarcity of psychics might even be solved. Change from Alamir's side.

But after Alamir passed on part of the general outline of the Nine Yin Manual, Master Silence was silent for a long time.

"A completely different philosophy... It is worthy of the skill of a demigod, another great path." After a long time, Master Silence suddenly meditated and then spoke.

Then, he sighed with emotion.

In fact, even if Alamir tried his best to pass on the understanding of the Nine Yin Manual instead of the original text, the power of these two systems was not understandable by the other party, and it almost shook the other party's "cognition".

Tao cannot be Tao, and the existence of extraordinary names cannot be carried by simple words at all.

In other words, if the Nine Yin Manual is so easy to practice, then countless martial arts geniuses will not bow to it... Alamir has not fully understood it until now, not to mention that he has never been exposed to the Taoist ideological system. , an alien monk who practices according to Buddhist methods.

It would be great if it was Jiuyang. Maybe this monk can give me some advice, Alamir thought.

"What a wonderful existence. I can feel that your martial arts system comes from another great and exquisite ancient inheritance. The multiverse is so wonderful..." After a while, Master Silence opened his eyes and then spoke. .

Um... Hearing the other party's somewhat metallic tone, Alamir asked him a question curiously: "Master, you have spoken again, will it not have any impact on your spiritual practice?"

"In the Sea of ​​Chaos, words may be distorted by chaos. Only the voice of the heart can be conveyed correctly." Master Silence looked at him curiously.

Um...it turns out it's not a "closed mouth" that will cost you years of hard work as soon as you open your mouth.

Bai was moved.Realizing that the warrior monks in this world were not like Shaolin Temple's eminent monks' training system, Alamir stopped talking and continued walking forward.

Psychic communication and thinking can sometimes be completed in an instant. For example, the previous "transaction" between Alamir and the Silent Master sometimes seemed extremely long.

Before he felt anything, Alamir saw the "black circle" shrinking again, and a terrifying roar came from the distance. Accompanying the roar was a corrupt and evil energy field. There was no need to carefully perceive it. Alamir could feel the extreme anger and murderous intent outside the black circle.

The legendary corrupt spirit lord has woken up.

There is not much time left for them.

Along the way, Kashashan put away her smoky attitude and became honest and responsible. In addition to the force shown by Alamir just now, especially the Silent Master, Alamir's "change" made She also settled down.

Although I don’t know what agreement Master Silence reached with the “master”, I saw that the somewhat “arrogant” and “profound background” elf bowed respectfully to the master, and even he already had “allies” in the black prison. ", no longer an "evil elf" who can only rely on her to lead the way, the vampire has shown a submissive attitude of active service.

She no longer pretended to be "ignorant", but like an old horse who knew the way, she turned into a shrewd guide, avoiding many possible fighting areas, and some low-level and mid-level Dark Sun puppets were also powerfully beaten by her. Clear.

Of course, this is related to the fact that under the guidance of the Silent Master, Alamir's use of psychic powers has become more and more smooth and weird. Along the way, Alamir used the newly learned "skills" to sort out his own psychic powers. While conducting experiments with Kashashan, the second personality, as a natural training target: crazily using contracts to plant hints in her mind, or using thinking probes to probe her heart, or controlling her to perform a series of actions. .

Of course, because of the mind flayer's notebook, Alamir did not choose the concept of "leaving risks to oneself and trying not to let the caster be affected by the sequelae" advocated by the Silent Master. Instead, he chose the mind flayer. The method of completely disregarding the influence of the other party is a bit "evil"...

For example, without considering the endurance of the gray matter of the other party's brain, powerful psychic energy can instantly cover it, or plant a "seed" in her mind and rely on the other party's spiritual energy to grow, which is a bit like planting a demon in the heart.

The reason is also very simple. The other party is an evil creature. There is no moral justice in the world. Just say hello quickly.

As a weak second personality, no matter how mature she was, she was almost destroyed by Alamir's "methods"... You know, the mind flayer's methods are all based on torture, It is related to enslaving, distorting, and parasitizing the other person's personality.

"Here we are, my master." After just a short journey, Kashashan's attitude changed more and more subtly.

Really, Alamir's eyes flashed with spiritual energy, and the light blue spiritual energy turned into a touch of magical purple in Alamir's beautiful pupils, and then disappeared in a flash.

Kashashan has some doubts about her judgment of the "master's" camp tendency...

However, Alamir did not care about the feelings of a vampire's second personality who was destined to be "annihilated". Instead, he steadily observed the only "mountain" in front of him that seemed to be full of life and had normal trees.

A mountain that can almost be said to be sheltered under a huge "golden oak tree" and filled with the power of order.

"It's so big..." Alamir admired in a low voice.

Of course, we are not talking about mountains here, but also people.

Just at the bottom of the mountain, stood a huge woman. She was almost 6 meters tall. Even the tallest female barbarian only reached her thighs, and was even taller than some female giants.

Moreover, even if the proportions are exaggerated, even if they are scaled down, certain scales can only be matched by Senior Sister Honglong.

"Traveler from beyond the mists, I am Methna, and I offer you an agreement..."
