Chapter 59 Illusion Department

Soft voice.

Like the other spell scrolls purchased by Xia Ran, they all come from the magic in a very classic game "The Elder Scrolls 5". Although it is the most basic entry-level spell, it is classified as an illusion.

Xia Ran was quite impressed by this, because this game existed in the dimension of reality.Although it is an old game many years ago, from the current point of view, there are many shortcomings.

But after all, it is his precious memory from the past, and it was indeed very popular back then. Once it was released, it was accompanied by "Paladin, Paladine, let his blood and soul scatter! What is suffering? What is difficulty? Throw it into the sea!" Song, all the rage.

Until now, Xia Ran still remembers how much energy he put into that game, but because he really has no talent in the game, he has always used the most powerful and boring genre.

It can be said that illusion and stealth are almost required to be practiced, so he naturally remembered the significance of soft voice for the entry into the illusion department.

However, that is the setting of the game after all, and it is not clear whether it can still be based on the strategy experience in reality.Even though the power of the law of white space ensures the versatility of related spell abilities, it will not even copy the game mechanics.

Although it is the most basic entry-level magic, it is magic after all. It is an extraordinary skill and is no longer an ordinary skill at the mortal level. Therefore, Xia Ran spent a lot of time learning this time than before.

It was already early morning when the skill scroll recording the soft voice technique suddenly shattered and scattered into a cloud of blurred light particles that disappeared.

Xia Ran, who was sitting in front of the desk, stayed for a while, then shook her head. The next moment, she suddenly felt a sense of dizziness in her brain, but this feeling came and went quickly.

Only then did he realize that he had been concentrating on studying for more than three hours. During this period, his attention was highly concentrated, and he was always tightly tensed, and he did not relax even for a second.

"It's really profound..." He muttered, raised his fingers and rubbed the center of his brows, and it took a while to feel the bulging feeling caused by receiving a lot of information in a short period of time eased.

Because of the impression left by the game, he certainly knows that the so-called illusion system is not simply a trick to deceive the eyes, nor is it a trick such as performing magic, but it should be magic that can affect the sensory thinking and spiritual mind of the target object.

The specific application seems to be to control or harm the target object through means such as coercive orders, demoralization, and silence or paralysis, or to improve the morale of the target and make the target calm or united.

Illusion can also allow the target to gain substantial abilities such as invisibility, night vision, translucency... and so on.

Or to put it more simply, it is like the soft voice technique that he has just learned and mastered——

Its effect is to eliminate the sound caused by the caster's own actions.

Of course, it can also be changed to another well-founded statement. It does not eliminate the voice of the caster himself, but affects the mental thinking of everyone around, including the caster himself, making them unable to hear the voice.

So, in theory, this should be a mechanism that acts directly on the spiritual level and interferes with others?Moreover, the requirements for the use of the skill scrolls he bought all require the spiritual attribute first, followed by the intelligence attribute and perception attribute.

The requirement for the former is generally above 10 points, and different spells have different deviations, but the requirements for the latter two only require a standard value of no less than 5 points.

This can also prove that illusion magic is a spiritual ability in a broad sense.

However, according to what Xia Ran just learned, it is more accurate to explain that illusion can change the world around the caster and interfere with certain physical laws. This department is sometimes confused with the transformation department. The main reason is that both departments interfere with the original rules.

But the illusion system is not bound to the laws of nature like the transformation system. The power of the transformation system comes from nature, and its effects also exist from the perspective of the objective world.But the illusion system is only effective on the caster and the target. It can change the visibility of the target, generate or erase light, generate or erase sound...

Etc., etc.

"By manipulating the light, it affects everything that the light hits, because "light" itself is the purest magical energy, and it is also an existence equivalent to the soul... So with the development of this kind of knowledge, illusion can not only affect the senses of the subject , and become able to directly affect the mind of the affected person by distorting the receiving end of the soul..."

Talking to himself about the magic theory he had just learned, Xia Ran felt as if he had realized something, but he seemed to be completely incomprehensible.

But this is also normal. He has just started learning illusion magic, so he doesn't have to force too much. It doesn't matter if he knows what he doesn't know.After all, it is like a baby that has just started to grow, and it should be the stage of just learning to "crawl".

There is still some distance from "standing", and we can't pursue "running" or even "flying" so high.

He didn't think too much, Xia Ran was very self-aware, but took out the next skill scroll... But when he was about to calm down and read it, he realized that it might be because his mind was too exhausted before, and now it's hard to keep his attention longer Time to concentrate.

He had no choice but to continue practicing meditation first, tempering his spiritual essence while recovering his mental state. He planned to cycle like this, and learn another illusion magic when it was close to the morning... and then wait until tomorrow night to continue. All can be learned.

Even through the acquisition of skill scrolls, it is the same as using karma crystals to lock the future, and the relevant abilities can directly reach the level of proficiency once mastered, but the process of getting started is also time-consuming.

After all, it is already the threshold of magic, and it involves a lot more and profound theoretical knowledge, which is very mysterious and wonderful.

Even if it is a low-level introductory magic, it takes more than three hours to learn one. Xia Ran thinks that she had better hurry up. The remaining four skill scrolls add up to at least twelve hours.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to spend half a day in one breath, and his mental state does not allow it, so he can only divide it and arrange it like this.

Unlike soft voice, the remaining four illusion spells are more advanced, not only affecting the senses of the subject, but also affecting the type of mind, can make people violent or calm, improve or eliminate the target's fighting spirit... …

Depending on the magic, the effect is also different.

Courage can make the most timid cowards stand up and join the battle; Fear can crush the courage of strong fighters; Wrath can even arouse the rage deep in the enemy's heart, reducing their endurance sharply, and even causing enemies to fight among themselves fight.

Tranquility can greatly reduce the aggression of the target, enabling them to think more calmly and rationally, and will not be easily blinded by negative emotions such as anger, hatred, and violence.

It can be said that although these four illusions are basic, if used well, they can deal with most situations and enemies.

——As long as his mental power is strong enough compared to the target he wants to influence, or he doesn't encounter non-biological enemies like robots that don't have mental thinking.

Considering the rules and regulations of the white space, perhaps in the world of different dimensions that he can currently enter, he can really walk sideways.

It is worth mentioning that, obviously, they are all illusion magics that exert influence on thinking and emotions. Compared with the other three, the learning requirements of calming spells are the highest. Getting out is much easier.

But after thinking about it for a while, there is indeed such a truth——

Even if you don't use the mysterious power of illusion and magic, it is very easy to provoke a person to go crazy, but it is very difficult to calm down a person who is furious and mad.

……

……

When she walked out of the house the next day, Xia Ran stretched vigorously and felt that she was in a good mood.

It seems that after a night of repeated consumption, recovery, and tempering, the mental power has finally grown. Although the mental attribute itself has not increased, the growth coefficient has increased a little——

Because the white space didn't digitize the values ​​in this area, he couldn't see his blood bar, nor his blue bar, but he knew that the upper limit of mental power had increased a little compared to before.

Well, it shouldn't be considered a blue bar, right?The real blue bar should be the special energy of "spiritual power" and "magic power" that has been further refined and transformed.

But that's it for the time being, the most important thing is that Xia Ran feels that he has found the right way to exercise.Perhaps improving the mental strength is like exercising the body. It is not the best to maintain a full state, but to constantly consume, recover, and repeat.

Muscles are also constantly being used, and through repeated muscle strength exercises, muscle volume increases and muscle strength increases.And if you don't contribute much all the time, then you will definitely not improve for no reason.

In order to verify this truth, Xia Ran intends to maintain the release of the soft voice technique as much as possible today-practicing illusion and tempering mental strength can be carried out simultaneously in a certain sense, without wasting time.

Not long after going out, Xia Ran discovered...it is really a wonderful feeling to use extraordinary spells.

Whether it was walking or running or his own breathing, he couldn't hear it at all, and it was eliminated by the soft voice technique...

Even though the so-called sound cancellation is theoretically an artificial illusion, the effect is the same.However, through experiments, he also discovered the limitations of this illusion magic, or his own limitations.

That is, the range of action seems to be only four to fifty meters at present.

If the sound he makes can't be heard four or fifty meters away, then it's just perfect. People within the range of the soft voice technique ignore the sound, and people outside the range can't hear the sound.

But if the sound is louder, it will cause an embarrassing contradiction. People in the short distance did not hear the sound, but people in the distance heard it...

——Of course, maybe in some occasions, this characteristic is actually very useful, for example, pretending to be a ghost or something.
