Chapter 25 Mental Overdraft
As Ryan had expected, the lab was in shambles, and the choking smoke had not yet fully dispersed, so Ryan picked up his tools to clean up the room while scouting the lab bench. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Aside from last night's, two heavy books that Ryan had never seen before made his heart beat faster.
"Introduction to Mages", "Encyclopedia of Common Tricks".
Both books are almost the thickness of Ryan's palm, and even if Ryan has a knack for memorization, he can't read it in a while.
It seems that what Patrick said is indeed a rumor, and Lancedel is not an irresponsible mentor, and in the case of these basic books alone, without the permission of the tutor to enter the library, the other apprentices may have to go through a long period of life before they can have the opportunity to read.
With motivation, Ryan even sped up his cleaning movements, for fear of wasting time.
After a while, Ryan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat still on the floor, flipping through the parts he hadn't finished last night with relish. Greedy and chewy, this is the eternal truth, although the book that records the trick attracts him like a magnet, but he can't figure out whether he is connected to the magic net, to learn the 0 ring spell is simply asking for trouble.
Last night's meditation was supposed to be a mixed success, and the mage could have replaced sleep with meditation, but Ryan woke up this morning feeling as tired as if he hadn't slept all night, and there was definitely something wrong with him.
Reviewing his knowledge of meditation and the web, Ryan tried again. For some reason, Ryan's feelings this time were completely different from the last time.
Perhaps it was the benefit of high intelligence, Ryan soon felt that his mind was clearer than ever, the insect chirping outside the house seemed to be magnified countless times, Ryan could even clearly feel the trajectory of air flow, and the faint smell of herbs from the alchemy materials in the room became more obvious. With Ryan at the center, he seems to be able to 'see' everything around him, including magic!
It was still the only existence that emitted light in the boy's perception, and the blue streamer representing magic filled the whole world, as if he felt Ryan's tentative closeness, and the smoke-like blue streamer gradually hovered around him.
The moment Ryan's perception touched the magic, that indescribable strange message appeared again. Magic Web!
At this moment, Ryan's perception contracted involuntarily, and the reception of sounds, smells, and information from the outside world fell to a low point in an instant, only the magic became clearer and clearer in his perception range. The magnified blue light dots seemed to be active, and in Ryan's thoughts, they quickly gathered towards his chest, and the blue light became bigger and bigger, brighter and brighter!
Suddenly opening his eyes, Ryan looked at a faint magical aura on his chest, and his violent heartbeat made him almost shout!
It worked! Not only is he successfully connected to the magic web, but his intelligence stat of up to 17 points makes it easy for Ryan to manipulate the magic power even if he doesn't know the construction of spells. In other words, this is something that even the so-called magical geniuses can't necessarily do!
Ryan, who was originally devastated by Philip's questioning, was in high spirits for a while, and in addition to being excited, he continued to manipulate the magic power to condense and hover around him, and a beautiful light band like silk gradually wrapped him, although it had no other effect, but such a real contact with this mysterious power made Ryan, who had been specializing in mages for six years, once again recall the excitement of casting magic for the first time!
Everything seems so real! It's also real, and Ryan's mental power is consumed unconsciously.
"Uhh A violent tingling sensation suddenly came from the depths of his mind, as if he had been pierced by countless steel needles, Ryan's face was instantly distorted, and the light blue ** force around him also disappeared.
MD! Got carried away ...
Poof! The young man's tense body suddenly fell to the ground, and a trace of blood slowly spilled from his nostrils.
Although the fog surrounding Castle is impossible to see, around noon, the fog loses its function of shielding light, allowing sunlight to be ingested from the outside world, but even so, from the outside, there is still a thin film blocking the view.
The warm sunlight crept up the young man's pale cheeks little by little, as if feeling the gentle caress of the morning light, and the young man's closed eyes trembled slightly, and slowly opened.
Strange ceilings. Finally opening his eyes, Ryan looked at the dusty ceiling, and the long stagnation made him come to this conclusion. Feeling weak, as if he had just experienced a marathon, there was a tingling pain in his brain, like ten thousand needles running through.
Struggling to get out of bed, Ryan looked out the window, a dazzling golden sun hanging directly above the sky, and the sunlight covered the entire Shining Star Castle. Mages and apprentices weave through the green woodland, elves and humans sit on the ground, discussing spell puzzles with each other, and the peaceful scene fills Ryan's heart with peace.
"Are you awake?!" The boy's voice was a little hoarse, but the excitement in it did not falsify at all.
Turning his head and watching Patrice rush from the door, a faint smile appeared on Ryan's face, "Thank you." ”
The sun shone on the back of the half-elf, and although the delicate face was a little pale, under this light, there seemed to be a trace of golden streamer, and the shiny black hair fluttered gently in the breeze, exuding a mysterious and elegant charm.
Seeing that he was about to come to Ryan, Patrick suddenly stopped, stared blankly at the half-elf sitting on the bed, and with a clear swallowing sound, the young man's slightly immature cheeks turned a little red.
Ryan, who was holding Pattry grateful, was stunned for a moment, and saw something that made him creepy from the other party's eyes, and quickly cleared his throat to dispel the terrible atmosphere between the two!
"Well, thank you for getting me back to the dorm."
"Huh? No, no, no, I, I just came to have breakfast with you in the morning, and when I saw that your door was unlocked, I came in, and then I found that you had symptoms of mental exhaustion, and I didn't do anything! He shook his head vigorously, wondering if Patrick was saying no or trying to shatter the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.
"Not you? Who would that be? Ryan frowned, Patrick and the old man in charge of his dormitory knew, it wasn't Patrick who sent him back, could it be the lewd old man?
No! Definitely not! Learning from the boy's movements, Ryan shook his head fiercely, and a reliable possibility came to his mind. With the extraordinary ability of the legendary mage of Lancedel, knowing the location of his dormitory is probably easy, and even if he doesn't use it, a teleportation spell can easily bring him back here. After all, according to Ryan's speculation, his mentor is not as unkind as the rumors suggest.
In any case, it seems that yesterday's smugness did not cause any major damage. Empiricism kills people, and there was no such thing as mental power in the game. In Ariel, the caster's mental power is like the strength of a warrior wielding a weapon, the energy required to cast a spell, and if severely overdrawn, it can cause more serious problems than muscle strains.
And it will be more troublesome to recover, rubbing his swollen temples, Ryan knows that he may not be able to touch the spell for the time being in the past two days.
"Have you trained as a mage before?" Seeing Ryan fall silent, Patrick was very uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere in the room, hesitated for a moment, and was the first to speak to break the silence.
"Nope. Why do you ask? ”
"My mentor has been in the same situation as you before due to fatigue from casting spells." Pouting, Patri looked very cautious unlike yesterday, "Have you already learned spells?" ”
"No, it's just that there were some mistakes when connecting to the magic net."
"Connect to the magic web? Isn't your mentor by your side for such an important matter? ”
"Hmm."
"Ogma is above, I sympathize with what happened to you." With that, Patrick looked at Ryan silently with a look of pity. The latter was stunned for a moment, staring at Pattry's eyes tightly: "You are a nobleman, and you actually believe in gods?" ”
"Vassere has no restrictions on this, and even the people of our neighboring countries have the right to worship freely." Shrugging his shoulders, Patrick was clearly unconcerned about Ryan's questioning.
"Northland?" Hearing this familiar country, Ryan froze and threw the question at the other party.
"Does it seem familiar to you? Next time you come to Vassere, remember to come to me, I will definitely take you to eat and drink spicy food. Seeing that Ryan seemed to know something about his hometown, Pattry laughed and patted his chest and assured Ryan.
Ignoring Pattry's rambling stories about his hometown, Ryan was once again lost in thought. Vathel, due to its close proximity to the Bay of Sword, was originally just a city, but its great strength made it a country of its own, coupled with the endless ethnic strife in the Northland, and the fierce people, Vathel's military power can fight even in an ancient country like Cormier.
And more importantly, the temple of Mirkor's death was in the dark fields of Vartel, where Jerk greeted him, where he fell!
He didn't know if that virtual world would have an impact on Ariel, but after all, it was a rare place of memories, and Patrick's invitation, he didn't refuse.
"I'll definitely go when I have a chance, but for now you should go and get busy with yours, I want to rest for a while." Interrupting Patine's high-pitched talk, Ryan waved his hand wearily.
Seeing that the other party had given the eviction order, Patrick did not die in vain, closed his mouth and glanced at him resentfully, as if he was reluctant to leave Ryan's room slowly.
Perseverance is the basic condition for gaining great power, and now that he is connected to the magic web, how can Ryan waste precious time on sleep?
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the half-elf boy gradually cleared his mind, followed his memory, and found the trace of the magic net faster than before. This time, of course, he would not be as reckless as before, and his spirit was completely relaxed, as his perception spread out little by little, as if he had merged into the magic net. A feeling of comfort flooded him, the tingling in his brain seemed to fade away, and the swelling in his temples became less and less.
