Chapter 36: The Legend of Mind Magic
"Odath, how much do you know about psychic magic?" Xing Tianyu asked at the crowd watching the excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Psychic magic? It was the most primitive and powerful magic, in the world of Atlantis, psychic magic used to be synonymous with magic, because its door bar is not high, as long as there is enough mental power and intention to learn, so it has been widely spread, and has given rise to many legendary stories.
The beautiful witch resurrected the dead prince with the kiss of true love, the heroic knight severed the dragon's neck with the blade of courage, and the bard lifted the curse of the Winter Kingdom with a song of happiness.
But that's a thing of the past, now that mind magic has declined, in the world of Atlantis, arcane magic has become mainstream, and there are people who practice shadow magic, soul magic, blood magic, chaos magic, or all kinds of strange magical skills named after magic, and mind magic is rarely used as a practical magic. ”
Xing Tianyu was surprised for a while, "Why did it decline?" Isn't it true that psychic magic is the most powerful magic? Xing Tianyu asked, but he actually had some guesses.
"The reason for the decline of psychic magic is very simple, the power of psychic magic comes from emotion, the stronger the emotion, the more powerful the magic, but the problem is that not everyone can maintain that strong emotion, there is no doubt that this makes the use of psychic magic extremely harsh, often misleading, and the mood is also difficult to stabilize, maybe you are angry at one moment, but the next moment your heart is like water, and the so-called most powerful magic, is only theoretical, because human emotions are indeed not measured by numerical values, So theoretically, a person's certain emotions can be improved without limit, but in fact, very few people can really reach that level.
In addition, there is a big problem with psychic magic, that is, it is easy to cheat, because mental power and intention power are not very easy to test, and the trigger conditions of psychic magic are extremely harsh, so many people think that they have learned psychic magic, but in fact he does not, and there are even some people who have learned a psychic magic, but they have not been able to use it for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the magic of the mind gradually declined, and was replaced by more practical and stable magic.
However, psychic magic has not disappeared, and in the post-magical era, some psychic magic is still circulating, but it often does not produce very good results.
For example, in some parts of the Southern Kingdom, there is a tradition that when a couple gets married, they will learn the magic of true love kiss to each other, so that when one spouse dies, the other can resurrect him, but this magic rarely works, people often lose their love for each other very quickly after marriage, and may not even love each other before marriage, as a result, many brides and husbands have to kiss a cold corpse with force, And after the failure, he was pointed out by the spouse's family and had no feelings for the spouse at all.
Some of the berserkers of the north would learn the fire of rage, believing that it would maximize their fury abilities, and they did succeed, burning their rage in battle, charging into enemy positions in a rage, a move that usually worked at first, the Flame Fury became the most fearsome presence on the battlefield, but these mad barbarians were often unable to control their anger and eventually burned to death by their own rage.
There are also scholars who learn the magic of the shield of perseverance, believing that their powerful minds can protect themselves from any danger when attacked, but when they are faced with a terrifying sight, they often suddenly find that they are not as resolute and resolute as they imagined.
Of course, the blade of courage is also indispensable, there was a time when the knights of the Western kingdom used the blade of courage instead of the real sword, because they thought that their courage was better than steel, which was naturally no problem when they duel each other for the favor of the lady, and also avoided many senseless casualties, but when they brought this habit to the battlefield, their blade of courage was cut off by the axe of the barbarian, or smashed on the armor of the dwarves, which caused a large number of casualties, Since then, few knights have come to battle with the blade of courage.
And the most widely used is the magic of the arrow of hatred, probably because the emotion of hatred is always the easiest to accumulate, and although the arrow of hatred can cause great pain, it will not cause real harm, and it will not cause legal disputes, so many people who do not have the ability to fight like to use this trick against anyone they hate.
Xing Tianyu listened to the introduction of Odas's head, and said in his heart, it was really an eye-opener.
"Are there any techniques that can better harness the power of mind magic? I used the Blade of Courage once just now, but it didn't work at all, how did those knights of the Western Kingdom do it? ”
"Of course, although it doesn't always work, although the wizards of the Eastern Kingdom have gradually abandoned psychic magic in favor of more practical arcane magic, there is still a school of psychic magic in the Academy of Magic, and it has achieved certain results.
Psychic magic comes from emotions, so it's easier to use it if you find a way to control it.
The first technique is called self-hypnosis, which I am not familiar with, but I know a little bit about the second technique, and the second technique is called memory regression.
The way this technique is used is to recall an event that happened in your mind and bring yourself into it, immerse yourself in a memory of the past, and activate a certain emotion.
In fact, this technique was originally invented by scholars, who often use the method of memory backtracking to review the knowledge and spells they have learned, and I can teach you if you want to learn it. ”
This is an unexpected joy, Xing Tianyu listened carefully to Odas's explanation of memory backtracking, this skill is not very difficult.
Xing Tianyu first chose an event that had happened in the past, and he was going to test the Blade of Courage first, so he chose an event that happened when he was in the sixth grade of elementary school.
At that time, he was deeply affected by martial arts novels, and he longed for such things as drawing swords to help each other when he saw injustice, and once on his way to school, he saw two ruffians blocking a student in the same class to ask for money, and he rushed up like adrenaline - and then was beaten by the two ruffians.
Although the ending was not good, he did remember that he was taken aback by his courage at the time.
He recalled every detail of that memory, perhaps because of the relationship that his brain had been strengthened, or maybe it was a side effect of the increase in mental power, and he remembered the details of that past vividly.
He seemed to be walking down the street where he went to school as a child, he seemed to be able to feel the morning sun and the scent of the wild flowers by the roadside, he seemed to be able to hear the aroma of bread in the roadside shop, he seemed to see the two ruffians again, and saw their pimple-riddled faces and their dirty leather jackets, and he felt a sudden surge of courage in his heart, and—
"Blade of Courage!" Two white blades of light suddenly appeared in his hand, Xing Tianyu was happy in his heart, these two blades of light were composed of pure white light, there was no sword jaw, only two slender blades, like white glass in his hand.
So light, no weight at all.
"Ah, the white blade of courage, I'm afraid this is the lowest, the blade of courage usually gets deeper and deeper as the courage increases, it is divided into five levels according to the color, white, light yellow, golden yellow, orange, and red, the red blade of courage is considered the most powerful blade of courage, it is said to be indestructible, it can cut everything, but few people can reach it, the blade of courage that can reach gold is already very powerful, it can cut through steel, the orange blade of courage is enough to pierce the dragon scales, In addition, the shape of the Blade of Courage can also be changed at will. ”
(I see, but what about the power of the white blade of courage?) Xing Tianyu slashed out with a sword, easily cutting a delivery cardboard box in half.
It's sharp, but what about the strength? Then he took out another steel sword that he had ordered online to practice the elven sword dance, slashed it out, and then snapped, and the blade of courage shattered like glass and dissipated without a trace, but the steel sword did not even have a gap.
Well, the power of this white sword is really useless, and it can't be compared to the real sword at all.
The next thing to experiment with was the fire of anger, and Xing Tianyu's mind once again retraced a memory that had happened in the past.
This time, he recalled an experience in high school, during a period of time, he was addicted to a very popular online game, compared to the boring study life, the world of the game is undoubtedly wonderful and fascinating, he collected a top equipment in the game, and the level is also considered the first echelon, for which he almost gave up his high school studies.
Until one day, someone stole his account and stripped his character to the brim.
Xing Tianyu still clearly remembers how strong the anger in his heart was when he looked at his character who only had a small pants left in the computer that morning.
Feeling the trace of anger in his body, Xing Tianyu let out a low roar, ahhh "Flames of Fury!" He raised his hand suddenly, and a flame suddenly ignited in the hand of his right hand.
Looking at the flame Odas commented again, "Not bad, you still learn very quickly, the fire of anger is the fire of emotions generated by emotions, so it is not a real flame, its temperature is completely determined by the strength of the caster's emotions, the easiest way to test is to use objects with different ignition points to test whether it can ignite it, the most powerful fire of anger can burn everything, and the weakest fire of anger can't even light a haystack."
Xing Tianyu picked up a piece of paper and put it on the flame in his hand, fortunately, this flame was at least able to ignite the paper, and then he burned it against the chair again, but it was roasted for more than a minute, and the chair did not pick up any sparks, but the flame extinguished itself.
Miserable, Xing Tianyu suspected that the temperature of this fire might not even be 300 degrees.
Next up is the Fortitude Shield.
Xing Tianyu once again retraced in his mind a memory that happened in the past, which was also a memory that happened when he was a child.
It was when he was in the second year of junior high school, a football game with the school, when the game was halfway through, it suddenly rained heavily, the heavy rain soon turned into a torrential rain, and the torrential rain turned into hail, and the players on both sides fled the field one by one, and finally only Xing Tianyu and a thin and tall man with glasses from the opposite school were left, and the two staged a 1V1 football match on the hail field, and finally Xing Tianyu defeated the opponent with a score of 9:2 - although the game was deemed invalid afterwards, However, Xing Tianyu still clearly remembers the resolute emotion he felt when he was determined to defeat his opponent in hail.
Fortitude Shield! Around him, a spherical translucent shell-like thing suddenly appeared, glowing with a faint white light, as if a huge glass ball had enveloped his entire body inside.
Xing Tianyu took two steps, and the invisible barrier also moved with him, he stretched out his hand, and his hand easily passed through the barrier, making him almost feel that the barrier didn't exist at all, but when Xing Tianyu slammed into the wall, the resolute shield produced a huge reaction force, making him almost fall under the rebound.
Xing Tianyu suddenly felt that this thing was very magical, it was completely different from the ghost armor, but it was a bit like the feeling of an AT force field.
Xing Tianyu continued to ram the surrounding area with increasing intensity, and when he rushed towards the wall for the fifth time, the resolute shield suddenly flashed and disappeared violently.
Duang's head suddenly hit the wall, and suddenly his eyes were full of stars, severe pain, and even a nosebleed came out, but fortunately he retracted his strength at the last moment, otherwise it is estimated that even if he does not open the scoop, it will be a concussion.
Lying down on the sofa with his head covered, Xing Tianyu groaned in pain while thinking that the strength of this thing is almost the same as that of tempered glass, and it seems to be more flexible than tempered glass.
"Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, even if memory regression is used, the power of psychic magic is usually very average, because memories are only memories after all, and emotions will only suddenly explode when encountering a real event and triggering a certain stimulus.
For example, if a person dies to protect his lover, then the true kiss of his lover can easily come into play.
If a person witnesses the death of a loved one, his heart will erupt with a strong anger, and those legends related to psychic magic are often born from this. ”
"So this thing is completely dependent on explosive seeds?" Xing Tianyu asked helplessly.
"Pretty much."
