Chapter 161: A Preliminary Study of Illusion (Part II)
"Hallucinogen", "Primary Illusion"!
Ronin admits that the two concepts do have similarities. But one was a mutant aphrodisiac, and the other was a new class of skills that he hadn't even been exposed to, which made it difficult for Ronin to compare them.
However, Maggie's mentor did just that. She put down the textbook and introduced the contents of page 607 with ease: "More precisely, elementary illusions are a common category of several different illusions. The illusion recorded on this page is called 'Spring Shade', and it is a relatively common elementary illusion. Let me show you the effect of this illusion. ”
With that, Mentor Maggie used her wand to volley nine glowing pale gold magic spells in front of her chest, chanting in one breath the lengthy spell that took up a third of the page. At the same time as the last spell fell, Mentor Maggie tapped his wand on the centered spell, only to see a flash of light, and the nine pale golden spells scattered into countless points of light with a "swish", turning into a sky of streamers and flying to all corners of the classroom.
"Hmm, it's such a subtle fluctuation of magic power, it's like detection magic, and it's like mirroring!" Luo Ning pondered the principle of this illusion, and couldn't help but glance at the magic pattern recorded in the textbook a few more times.
But soon his thoughts were interrupted by Karen. The girl mage grabbed Luo Ning's arm, and said in a surprised and excited tone: "Luo Ning, look! look!" Luo Ning didn't want to disobey, and when he turned his head to look, his eyes lit up. I saw that the original white and flawless walls disappeared, and turned into a green forest with bright light edges under the golden warm sun. Luo Ning lowered his head, only to see that the hard floor had turned into green grass, emitting a faint fragrance. Above the forest, the sky was clear, the clouds were like veil, and even the huge chandelier that originally hung above everyone's heads turned into a round of tomorrow printed in the sky, sending out bursts of spring warmth.
Luo Ning was surprised when he suddenly heard a crisp birdsong. I saw a bright yellow shadow flying out of the forest, and a group of golden-horned larks with golden feathers on their heads upside down and three slender feathers behind their backs flew down from mid-air, stopping on the shoulders of the students, and rubbing their heads back and forth on everyone's faces from time to time.
The Golden-horned Skylark is a two-star magical beast unique to the Morrowind Kingdom, and belongs to a valuable ornamental bird. In the traditional culture of Morrowind, this bird symbolizes peace and happiness. It was because everyone, including Karen, saw these golden-horned larks perched on their shoulders and behaved so closely, and they all smiled happily.
Ronin, however, noticed more. For example, before the appearance of the Golden Horn Lark, Maggie's mentor on the stage coincidentally spilled the bottle of hallucinogenic potion on the ground, causing it to quickly evaporate in this phantom territory. And more importantly, if his guess is correct, then the only thing that can affect everyone's sense of touch, that is, "hurt everyone", is the group of golden-horned larks produced by the effect of hallucinogenic drugs.
Luo Ning looked at the textbook with speculation, and sure enough, in the effect section of the primary illusion, he found the description "It cannot affect the sense of touch, and everything in the environment has a chance to dissipate after touching". To verify this, Luo Ning crouched down and reached over the grass. Sure enough, the blades of grass he touched came to naught, then returned to their original shape after his fingers left, continuing to sway gently with the breeze that his skin could not feel.
"As you can see," Mentor Maggie put down the empty flask and chanted a spell to dispel the illusion effect. The forest and the birds disappeared in an instant, and the surroundings returned to their original classrooms, and everyone only listened to Tutor Maggie continue, "After I add hallucinogenic potions, the presence in the illusion will have a practical effect on those in the illusion. In a sense, this brings the illusion infinitely closer to reality!"
In other words, can hallucinogenic potions allow people in the illusion to touch the existence in the illusion, creating a realistic effect similar to that of a 4D movie in the previous life? That means that it will have an effect on the object of the illusion...... Even if it's death!" Luo Ning was startled, Huo Ran raised his head, and happened to meet Mentor McGee's gaze.
Mentor Maggie seemed to see something, nodded slightly at Luo Ning, and then admonished everyone: "So I must remind you: everything in the illusion is determined by the inner fantasy of the caster! Okay, let's move on to the lesson, and I'll explain the reasons for choosing these seven materials......"
The content of Tutor Maggie's teaching, Luo Ning had already heard about it in the black market. He didn't listen to it, but pondered the sentence "The human heart is an extremely dangerous existence" throughout the whole process. This sounds a bit middle two at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is similar to the sentence in the book of the previous life, "The most powerful trick in the world is not in martial arts, but in conspiracy and traps". Luo Ning thought of Princess Lina who had changed her attitude for a while, and then thought of Whitney, who had seriously injured the old dean, and her thoughts continued to fluctuate, gradually forgetting about everything else, until a sense of crisis suddenly hit him, making him subconsciously get up and dodge.
"Mr. Ronin Campbell, this is the second time you've deserted in my class!" said Tutor Maggie's voice trembled slightly, apparently repressing the anger in her heart. Luo Ning turned his head to look at the bench that had been poked with a hole, and said in his heart that this time Mentor Maggie was really ruthless, it seems that he was really angry!
He smiled apologetically at Mentor Maggie and honestly admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mentor Maggie!
"If punishing you is useful, why am I still talking nonsense with you?!You do what I say now, mix up the hallucinogenic potion, and then sprinkle it into the primary illusion world to give an example to the other students!"
"This ......" Luo Ning hesitated a little, worried that some strange creatures would appear in his illusion. After all, he is not a sunny boy with love and peace in his heart.
Mentor Maggie raised her voice, "What, could it be that you have the ability to evade my magic, but you don't have the ability to master the primary illusion?!"
"Of course not! I'll do it!" Luo Ning didn't dare to continue procrastinating, and quickly memorized all the contents of page 607 with the help of his memory far beyond ordinary people, and then chanted a spell in a hurry, preparing to activate the primary illusion called "Spring Shade".
However, it backfired, and the more Luo Ning was afraid of something, the more he became more and more. Although he had memorized the entire mantra, he had forgotten to chant it in the tone of Mentor Maggie, thus omitting the pronunciation of three mantras that required rapid chanting with legato technique. As a result, the blue sky and green grass did not appear just now, and after the nine golden spells exploded, Luo Ning's eyes flickered, and then he was completely dumbfounded, realizing that he was surrounded by a circle of high-rise buildings—his spell actually brought everyone to a very prosperous commercial street in his previous life.
