Chapter 38: Deep Meditation
Yusher was still vigilant about the necromancer in the carriage, and at this time, Rhodes in the carriage was obviously in another state.
Rod didn't know what was going on outside the carriage. At this time, although Rod was in a meditative state, he frowned, obviously the process was not smooth.
Rhodes tried to summon all the magic elements around him, but in Rhodes' perception, the surrounding magic elements seemed very indifferent, and few magic elements chose to respond to Rhodes' call.
For the current Rhodes, because there is no way to get a response from the magic element, let alone the consumption of mana to establish a connection with the magic element, if this continues, even the meditative state cannot be maintained.
Deep meditation is usually only fully mastered by a formal mage. Due to Rod's low mental attributes, although Rhodes has been trying to diverge mana, it has never worked.
Rod didn't expect that the deep meditation that he could easily enter in his previous life would be so difficult to achieve at this time.
After a series of failures, Rhodes had no choice but to change his plans.
Instead of calling on all the types of magical elements around him, Rhodes is basing on his existing rudimentary fire magic, trying to connect with the fire magic element.
At the beginning, the surrounding fire-based magic elements still did not respond to Rod, but at Rod's insistence, a very small number of fire-based magic elements around him began to respond to Rod's call.
The experience of his previous life taught Rod that he must not be in a hurry at this time. Instead of trying to summon more fire-based magic elements, Rhodes tried to release mana and deepen his connection with the surrounding fire-based magic elements.
Feeling the slow drop in mana, Rhodes knew that he had begun to connect with the fire-based magical elements around him.
Rhodes concentrated, focusing all his attention on this slight connection, not caring about anything around him. As Rhodes' spirit focused, everything around him began to blur, leaving only these fire-based magical elements around him.
As Rhodes' connection with these fire-based magical elements deepened, the rest of the surrounding fire-based magical elements began to take the initiative to respond to Rod's call and joined in this connection.
Rhodes' mana is being depleted at an accelerated rate, but it is still depleting at an extremely slow rate overall. At this time, all that Rhodes could perceive was a large number of fire-based magic elements, and the physical perception was completely far away.
Maintaining this connection with the magical elements is an extremely mentally draining process, once the mage is mentally distracted or sleepy, the effect of deep meditation will be greatly reduced, and even directly counterattacked, which is why Rod chose to sleep overnight, replenish his spirit, and then start deep meditation.
With the experience of his previous life, coupled with his own unremitting attempts, Rhodes successfully entered a state of deep meditation.
…………
On the side, the vampire, who had been absorbing the energy of death, seemed to sense something, quickly opened his eyes, stared at Rhodes for a few seconds, and then closed his eyes again.
…………
At this time, inside the carriage in the center of the caravan.
A blue-robed spellcaster seemed to sense something, and sighed softly. Then he put down the book he had been reading, pushed open the window next to the carriage, and looked in a direction not far away.
As far as the eye could see, it was the carriage where Rhodes was.
The blue-robed mage tapped twice on the edge of the window. On the side, Uther, who heard the voice, immediately came to the side of the carriage and looked inside the window.
The blue-robed mage whispered a few words to Yusher, and following the blue-robed mage's line of sight, Yusher also looked at the carriage where Rhodes was.
"You mean...... He's doing deep meditation? ”
Yusser's tone was full of doubt, as if he couldn't believe it at all.
Although he is not a mage, Yusher clearly knows a lot about the mage's practice, understands what deep meditation means to a mage, and knows how the mage will be reperverted if he fails deep meditation.
Seeing the blue-robed mage nodding, Yu Se was stunned for a moment.
Uther couldn't understand why the necromancer had chosen to meditate here.
Until now, Yusher had been speculating about the purpose of the necromancer's visit, and all kinds of speculations had flashed through Yusher's mind, but Yusher had never been able to confirm it.
At this time, seeing this move as if it was deliberately revealing a flaw, Yuser seemed to realize something, and this was finally confirmed. For this, Uther took a deep look in Rod's direction.
Inside the carriage, seeing that Yuser didn't reply for a long time, the blue-robed mage couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you want to take this opportunity to ......?"
As a spellcaster, the blue-robed mage understood the consequences of being interrupted in deep meditation, and he also knew what a good opportunity it was, so he proposed it to Uther.
Although the blue-robed mage did not finish his words, Yusher already understood the meaning of his words. Uther shook his head, still looking in the direction of Rhodes' carriage.
Seeing this, the blue-robed mage no longer insisted.
Although he was the identity of the spellcaster, the blue-robed mage knew in his heart that he could make suggestions to the group leader, but the real choice could only be made by the group leader.
The blue-robed mage knew that the head of the regiment must have had his own ideas when he made such a decision. The blue-robed mage can make suggestions, but cannot interfere too much with the leader's judgment.
Seeing that Yusher was still looking in the direction of Rhodes' carriage, the blue-robed mage closed the window, sat back in the carriage, and flipped through the books in his hand again.
Finally, Uther sighed deeply, and instead of looking in the direction of the necromancer, he looked at the front of the group, ready to go to the front to command.
Even at the front of the group, Uther was still thinking about the necromancer's actions before.
In Yusher's opinion, deep meditation should have been deliberately performed by a necromancer.
The necromancer did this in the hope of telling himself through the mouths of the mages in the merchant group that they had no ill intentions, but just wanted to use the caravan to go to the City of Sorrows.
Similarly, for the merchants, even though one of them is meditating deeply, it is not for security reasons to attack them without knowing their hole cards.
It is this kind of behavior that seems to show weakness, but it almost completely dissolves the previous behavior of forcibly becoming a merchant group of tourists, and makes the merchant group relax its vigilance. This couldn't help but make Yuser Gao glance at the necromancer.
Suddenly, a strange thought arose in Yusser's mind.
From the moment the necromancer entered the camp of the merchant group, all his actions were expected by the necromancer, and the necromancer guessed all his thoughts, from the goods he was transporting, until this time he would definitely not attack them.
Although he had not actually fought each other, through this series of judgments, Uther had already determined that the necromancer who spoke earlier would not be an idle person.
