The Witcher: Darkness Falls

At night, Leon roasted half a deer that he had hunted during the day, and sat aside to practice the wizard's meditation method.

After condensing the demon seed, he would perform this kind of practice every night.

It’s just that the practice now is not the same as before. Now the practice of wizard meditation has certain restrictions due to the emergence of demon species.

Time constraints.

In the Ring of Ether, Leon discovered that the magic book was actually the cultivation experience of the original owner of the ring!

It was packaged like a magic book and was simply ignored by Visenna at first.

It introduces in detail the precautions for condensing the demon seed and what preparations are needed.

Including auxiliary medicines, auxiliary magic arrays, and how to save life after failing to condense the demon seed.

In addition to these most basic ones, there are also many training experiences after becoming a formal wizard.

This book is written in great detail and covers all aspects. Leon guessed that this guy was planning to publish a book, imitating those great scholars in order to gain both fame and fortune.

It also had the wizard's name on it, Marion Lucius.

The book states that the so-called condensation of magic seeds is actually to use specific magic potions to change the body so that a thumb-sized small fleshy ball surrounded by dense nerves grows between the human brain.

The location is probably at the back of the brain, and in the anatomical diagram it is located in the lower area between the two halves of the brain.

Lyon looked at the picture in the book and thought it looked like a tumor caused by a mutation.

This tumor is connected to the brain nerves and can briefly stimulate the chaotic power in the human body, then communicate with a powerful being above the world and conclude a contract with this powerful being.

According to the book, humans are part of the world and naturally contain the power of air, water, earth, and fire, which is the power of chaos, chaotic energy, or "source power."

However, most people have very little of this energy in their bodies and need to be stimulated by potions.

However, a small number of people have a lot of chaotic power in their bodies. These people are natural wizards, also known as source sorcerers.

They do not need potions to stimulate them and can use magic after simple training.

But most of them need the stimulation of magic potions to stimulate the chaotic power in the body, then attract the attention of a powerful being in the dark, and then offer mental power to conclude a contract with it.

The demon seed is the contract.

If the contract is successfully concluded, it means that the wizard has obtained the recognition of this powerful being.

The powerful being grants the wizard the right to drive and use magic, and the wizard, through the magic seed, sends a portion of the spiritual power gained from hard training to this powerful being as food.

On the contrary, if the demon seed fails to condense, it means that the powerful being does not recognize the wizard, and may even become angry because of the wizard's interruption, and directly swallow up the spiritual power contributed by the wizard in one breath, thus seriously injuring the wizard.

It may even cause the tumor to rupture, directly leading to the wizard's death.

This process is very dangerous and requires adequate preparation.

When Lyon saw this, he touched the back of his head and felt relieved.

He made very little preparation, but luckily he succeeded in one try, otherwise he would have been disabled if not killed.

He also learned that the powerful being he contracted was called Ouroboros, also known as Ouroboros, and was said to be eternal and immortal, and extremely powerful.

Leon didn't know much about this, but he did remember that when he was condensing the demon seed, he did see a giant snake in a trance.

When he successfully condensed the demon seed, he practiced the wizard meditation method again and felt a unique energy in his body that was increasing little by little.

That's the magic.

The book also mentions the relationship between magic power and mental power.

According to the book, mental power is like a container, and magic power is the substance used to fill this container.

Therefore, practicing wizard meditation does not actually increase magic power directly, but rather strengthens mental strength and expands the capacity for magic power.

At the same time, mental power and magic power are too abstract, unlike substances such as water or soil, which can be directly measured.

Therefore, it cannot be measured using common units of volume or weight such as liters, ounces, and cubic meters.

But clever wizards still found a way to measure mental strength and magic power, and agreed on a more abstract unit of measurement, "unit".

Two magic circles are activated, one is activated only by mental power, and the other is activated only by magic power, and the number of activations is used to measure indirectly.

Continue to stimulate until exhaustion, but do not damage the root of the demon species, in order to measure the amount of mental strength and magic power.

For example, if you successfully activate it once, you will have one unit of mental power or magic power.

During this period, wizards also discovered that one unit of mental power could accommodate approximately ten units of magic power.

To put it simply, the conversion relationship between them is one unit of mental power is equal to ten units of magic power.

Magic power is not formed through wizard meditation, but is absorbed and transformed from nature by magic seeds, and then exists in mental power.

The amount of mental strength directly determines the amount of magic power stored.

The natural absorption of magic power is slow, and wizard meditation can speed up the process.

But drinking potions is faster, and most wizards replenish their magic power by drinking potions, and few use meditation to replenish it naturally.

And after becoming official wizards, they will also configure magic potions that permanently increase their mental power to expand the amount of their mental power.

The recipe for this kind of potion is also mentioned in this book, so if Leon wants to speed up the improvement of his mental power, he just needs to find the corresponding materials.

But at this stage, Leon only needs to practice the wizard meditation method. After all, he is just a low-level wizard.

Leon himself could also intuitively feel that when he first started practicing wizard meditation, his magic power increased extremely quickly.

Only after the swelling in his head disappeared did the rate of increase in magic power gradually slow down.

It was not until now, half a month later, that the growth rate began to slow down.

Perhaps, this is a manifestation of my mental strength being filled with magic power.

There was no one to guide wizard Lyon in practicing meditation, but fortunately there was Marion's notes.

It is written in great detail above. As long as you follow it, there won’t be any big problems.

The demon species itself also needs to consume mental energy to transform the power of chaos into magic power.

Therefore, it would be impossible for Lyon to become more energetic the more he practiced wizard meditation as he did before.

With his current level, he tried it and found that he could only practice the wizard meditation method for half an hour without affecting his activities.

If he continues to practice, he will become sleepy, which will cause his attention and reaction ability to decline.

Once he encounters danger, he is unable to respond quickly, which is a very dangerous behavior in the wilderness.

After figuring out all the basic knowledge of wizards, Leon calmed down and started practicing.

Graf the Gray Wolf is very smart. He can smell danger from a long distance and avoid it in advance.

Therefore, Leon walked leisurely along the way. The most battles were fought in cooperation with Graf, hunting prey such as deer. The man and the wolf cooperated well.

Therefore, Lyon never lacked meat along the way, and he was even rich enough to pick up and practice the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Leon also had a feeling that when he performed the wizard meditation method and the knight breathing method simultaneously, the two actually had a promoting effect!

“The wizard’s meditation method strengthens my mental strength, while the knight’s breathing method strengthens my physical strength. Without a strong body, no matter how strong the spirit is, it is useless and I will die quickly.

If the spirit is insufficient, the body will also be difficult to become strong... Hmm... Is this the reason why ancient humans passed these two together?" Leon thought, and felt that he understood the good intentions of the ancient humans.

Before this, he was either on a mission and had no time to practice the Knight's Breathing Technique, or he was unable to practice because there was not enough food around him.

Now, he had enough food and the journey was easy, and by chance, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"But... there is no record of this in Marion's notes. It seems that few wizards know this, or maybe even none of them." Leon thought.

Although he had not seen many wizards, they were all high-level wizards, including Stregobor and another friend of Sikori. If these two wizards did not use magic, any soldier could knock them down.

What's more, the sorceress Fringilla is even weaker physically.

He recalled the conversation he had had with Stregobor. The wizards had already discovered these inheritance tablets.

However, because there are too few stone tablets and they are very precious, they have been committed to deciphering the inscriptions on them, but have neglected the study of the magical power contained in the stone tablets.

After all, the magic inside cannot be replenished once it is lost. Once the magic is completely lost, the stone tablet will also be completely destroyed.

In the eyes of wizards, inscriptions are far more important than the magic above, so they will not use the magic above to change their bodies to adapt to the knight's breathing method.

Instead, Leon accidentally allowed the magical power in the inheritance stele to transform his body and learned the knight's breathing method.

After a day of practicing wizard meditation, Leon thought to himself with some pride, "Could I be a wizard who practices both magic and body at the same time?"
