Lord of Arcane

Chapter 737 Cloud Qi Conjectures Soul Mutation
While thinking about the changes brought about by the communication magic weapon to Netheril, and what the Tower of Time can gain from these changes, Xia Duo and Director Saitos of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce determined the general transaction framework between the two parties.

As for the specific details of the transaction, we still need to wait for the appraiser from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to come to continue the negotiation, but then there is no need for Xia Duo to come forward in person.

In terms of business negotiations, no matter whether it is Derrick, the special business director of the Savile Land, or Eberke, who has been the material director of the Tower of Time in the past, they are more experienced than him!

……

Back at the Tower of Time, Xia Duo took out the magic scroll printing machine that had only been used once since it was manufactured, and printed a batch of quasi-magic scrolls with 2 rings [simplified version of the magic net background communication], and handed them over to Ganal before returning to the Tower of Time. own residence.

Behind the desk, Xia Duo subconsciously took out the spell note and put it on the table, but his eyes were not there. His mind had already flown to the vision of the statue he just saw in Savile Town.

In the past, the statue of Savile in the center of the central square of Savile Town did not have any peculiar charm, at least Xia Duo had never found it before today.

He guessed that what was wrapped around it might be the legendary "power of faith".

In this world, there is no doubt that belief or belief has real power, and even Xia Duo is a beneficiary of this power.

In the past, every time he awakened his bloodline, it was almost always after a group event and cheers from the crowd, but of course it wasn't this time recently.

But before that time, he had a small reputation in Severnton and even the whole of Netheril. Not to mention anything else, but the name of the creator of [Arcane Puzzle] can bring him countless——

According to his speculation, the power of faith that can awaken the blood!

Ever since he speculated about the power of faith, after the recent awakening of his bloodline, Xia Duo has deliberately observed whether he is absorbing mysterious power.

The latest time he discovered visions that were different from the previous ones, but considering the new ability after awakening [Soaring Clouds and Riding Mist], he just regarded those visions as "clouds".

After all, the old saying in my hometown, "The wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon", can control Fengshui, soar through the clouds and ride the fog, and it seems normal to be a little cloudy.

And when he discovered the vision on the statue of Savile in the central square of Savile Town, Xia Duo felt that his previous guess might be wrong, maybe the "cloud" he observed on himself before was not cloud, but the power of faith .

But this thing is really very similar to clouds, like light, like fog, ethereal, invisible, only when you don't pay attention to it, you can see a little.

Behind the desk, Xia Duo changed his previous focus and put himself in a state of relaxation and trance. He didn't deliberately think about the vision on his body, but recalled the strange vision that he had just seen on the statue of Savile.

In a daze, he seemed to see a wisp of "cloud air" suddenly appearing near the skin on the back of his hand hanging on his knee, but just when Xia Duo wanted to observe, it disappeared instantly.

Although it was only for a moment, he still saw what he wanted to see, and it was indeed somewhat similar to the strange charm entwined on the statue of Savile.

But the strange thing is that at that moment, he was very sure that the "cloud" on his body and the vision on the statue of Savile were definitely not the same thing!
For the power of belief or the power of belief, Xia Duo did not do any research, everything is based on assumptions, guesses and intuition.

This time, he guessed that maybe the power of belief directed at different people is completely different, which makes him feel paradoxical.

However, the premise of all his current guesses is that what is wrapped around him and the statue of Savile is the power of faith or the power of faith.

Xia Duo couldn't figure out the difference between the two for the time being. He could only say that it might be a special power produced by intelligent creatures.

……

After observing for a while, Xia Duo couldn't find any more useful information. This kind of mysterious and mysterious thing was giving him a headache.

But he also knows that existence is reasonable, and there must be a set of standardized operating rules behind this thing, but he hasn't discovered it yet.

"Is it related to the soul?" Xia Duo naturally made a guess.

With this thought, he acted immediately. One of the conditions for becoming an arcanist is to actively perceive the soul.

Because will is another side of the soul besides consciousness, Austrian fire needs to be combined with will to exist stably for a long time, otherwise it will be assimilated and absorbed by the outside magic net environment.

After all, the essence of Austrian Fire is a special creation made of the strings of the magic net torn from the outside magic net and re-woven.

The combination of Austrian fire and will requires the caster to actively perceive the will and infiltrate the Austrian fire with the will, but ordinary people can only passively perceive and apply the will, and cannot achieve this operation at all.

Xia Duo is already an arcanist, and it is effortless to re-perceive the soul, just go up directly along the consciousness or will.

It's just that the perception of the soul needs to be in a state of extreme concentration, even far beyond the concentration when casting a spell. Without long-term concentration training, it is impossible to achieve.

In the past, Xia Duo had wondered whether it was because of extreme concentration that the soul was born.

Of course, this is an error without verification.

It is already a certainty that ordinary people in this world also have souls, so how can it be possible that only quasi-arcanists have souls!

……

The soul has no form, or it is detached from form, but it is a real and concrete existence, not a virtual existence that only exists in imagination.

Sensing the soul again, Xia Duo still couldn't help but want to complain.

When other arcanists just perceive the soul, although they don't have a form, they will immediately transform into a form similar to the body based on their own cognition.

But Xia Duo is still in an indeterminate form. Although he can become the appearance of the main body under the restraint of the self, once he leaves it alone, he will return to his original state.

What's more, He has no original shape at all, and is always changing.

It is difficult for Xia Duo to accept that his soul is like this, so he can only comfort himself by saying that he is an Earthling, after all, he can't be something indescribable!
That would make it harder for him to accept!

But this time, the situation seems to have changed slightly.

Although the soul was still indescribable when it was first perceived, but when Xia Duo tried to shape it again with the attitude of giving it a try.

Accidentally appeared——

Even if Xia Duo stopped paying attention to him, he didn't return to his original state. He just existed stably, and even emitted a trace of light, reflecting a small space around him.

"Sea of ​​Consciousness? Sea of ​​Spirit? Purple Mansion? Shrine? Lingtai?"

Xia Duo was stunned immediately, and at the same time withdrew from the state of extreme concentration, his consciousness returned to himself, and his body was still sitting safely behind the desk.

"How is this possible?" Xia Duo couldn't help asking in his soul.

Other arcanists in Netheril are not in a situation like him. The soul is the soul, in a very high position in perception, and there is no other existence around, only that lonely soul.

Xia Duo was also in the same situation when he advanced to the level of an arcanist. After the level, although he usually does not use the soul, he occasionally perceives it. There has never been a situation where the soul glows and reflects a piece of space!

He doesn't know whether this situation is good or bad, but he knows that being special will definitely attract malicious eyes!
