Chapter 20: Testing in Progress
"Blair was still able to see seven hundred and twenty-one when he finally fell unconscious. This number is much earlier than Yang. Oh, Yang is the high-level mage who woke up from the breath of destruction, and he is only over three hundred. Sean said to Douglas.
"What is the principle of this panel based on, and what does the measured value reflect?" Douglas asked, puzzled.
"Basically, the higher the value you see, the stronger and more sober you are. It's not an exact arithmetic relationship, and we haven't studied the breath of perdition that deeply. Sean said with a shrug.
"So what are we going to do to know if Blair will wake up?" Douglas continued.
"Monitoring Blair's consciousness waves, when the consciousness waves show a certain pattern, it means that he is likely to wake up. But when you wake up is not guaranteed. Yang's consciousness showed regularity, and he woke up two weeks later. Sean continued.
Douglas is still communicating with Sean, who has been busy forming alliances with major forces or moving elemental life out of the elemental plane, and his research on Breath of Perdition is only a follow-up through Dawn.
Douglas was about to say something when Sean interrupted him with an exclamation.
"It only took 10′32", and Blair must have discovered something. It took Yang two full days to reach his state. Sean said excitedly: "So far, Blair is making good progress, maybe we won't be able to hear Blair's arguments soon." ”
"Your Excellency, you see, the breath of perdition is not entirely unanimous. Under certain conditions, they will show a familiar and regular side. Sean said to Douglas.
"Let's wait for Blair to wake up, now is not the time to celebrate." Douglas was also pleased, and showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time. No amount of difficulty can make it impossible for the Arcanist to start.
Half a month later, Blair woke up.
Receiving the news that Blair had woken up, Douglas came to visit him again.
"Blair, tell me about what happened to you in the Breath of Perdition." When Douglas arrived at his resting place, Sean was talking to Blair.
"When my consciousness was blurred when I took the Breath of Dying, I saw that there was also a Breath of Sinkfall underneath Ryan. The difference is that Ryan's Sinking Breath will have a layer of fluorescence, and at this time, if you probe your consciousness into Ryan's Sinking Breath, you will be able to enter the illusion we thought before. But now I'm more inclined to be a kind of space-time fragment. Blair said.
"You're saying that it is the Breath of Sinking that has awakened us from the madness of the Breath of Perdition? This is unprecedented information, tell me what you think. Sean said.
"The Breath of Perdition may be something that every world has always had, and they belong to the other side of the world. But it's not the soul plane or the shadow realm, it's not a different timeline. They are like metabolites of a kind of world that we didn't know before. Blair said slowly.
"The breath of destruction that now permeates Ryan is the precipitation after the death of other worlds. And Ryan's own breath of destruction is also different after the death of the world. I can feel that Ryan's Breath of Sinking still has some connection to Ryan. The rest of the Breath of Destruction is a complete silence in comparison. ”
"I'll tell you another interesting thing. I saw that mark of Young, and there was a hole near that marker, and the breath of destruction near the hole was filling the hole, whether it was Ryan's or other worlds, and the hole was not refused. The hole was almost filled when I left, but I left a hole there myself. I guess that's a good thing. Blair said.
"How so, and on what basis do you judge?" Douglas asked excitedly, this is a matter of life and death for Ryan.
"This may be the method of transforming the Breath of Perdition as described by the Council Institute and the gods. The world metabolizes the breath of destruction, but the world itself absorbs and transforms it, and the Arcanists can speed up this process through their wisdom. I'll show you another good thing. Blair said as he let go of his clenched hand, and there was a small piece of obsidian inside.
"It's a philosopher's stone, where did this philosopher's stone come from? I remember Ryan hadn't produced Philosopher's Stones for a long time. Sean said.
"Don't underestimate it, if my judgment is correct, the energy contained in this philosopher's stone is almost as large as a hundredth of an energy core. It is almost a hundred times higher than the last production of the Third Arcane Empire, the Starlight Type VI. Obviously this is no ordinary philosopher's stone. Blair said.
"You know what, I've been farther than Young. I went to ancient times before the gods. At that time, the gods did not come to Ryan, and the people did not know magic, let alone arcane research. I was there to help them build calendars and homes, and teach the gifted people some spells. You know, as I was about to leave, I even felt the power of faith lingering around me. Those three years were a lot of fun. Blair sat up excitedly and waved his hands.
"Three years? You've been there longer than Yang, and Yang says he's only been there for a little over a year before he feels like he's waking up. Sean said as he wrote, "Tell me how you got this Philosopher's Stone." ”
"I didn't care when one of the elders over there gave me this philosopher's stone, because it looked like an ordinary obsidian. But then the elders insisted that it was a magical stone. I had to take the stone to put him at ease. Blair paused and continued, "As I left there, the stone began to glow, and I saw the breath of perdition coming towards the stone, whether it was Ryan's or the rest of the world, swallowed up by the magic stone. Eventually, the Philosopher's Stone grew brighter and brighter, and I couldn't even look at it, and I woke up when I felt a tipping point. Blair said.
"Blair, your words have transformed the Breath of Sinking from a catastrophe to a new field of study." Douglas said.
"Then according to your words, Yang should also have something that absorbed the breath of destruction and left a void. I'll ask him later. Sean kept his pen in his hand and said, "Now let's give you a test." The old way, the seven-ring true vision. ”
"Now it's a lot easier to use than before, and I feel like I've been able to play seventy or eighty percent of my strength." Blair said lightly.
"Two thousand and seventeen, that's an incredible number. Just over the two thousand and six of His Excellency the Speaker. Sean said while taking a pen to record: "Yang is not as eye-catching as you, and the test after he wakes up is not as good as the first test before taking it." ”
"And one last question, how did you see it when you took the Breath of Perdition? Is there a lot of Breath of Destruction that surrounds Ryan? How much of the Breath of Perdition can be absorbed by the void you leave behind? Douglas finally asked.
"It's not ideal from my point of view." The excitement on Blair's face began to fade as he said this: "There are so many breaths of sinking around that it's overwhelming. Ryan is like a little sampan in the ocean, no, like a little broken house in a storm. In one corner of the wall you can shelter from the wind and rain, but in other places you will inevitably be flooded with strong winds and cold rain. All we could do was make the cottage as shabby as possible. ”
"I know Blair, don't be depressed. It's better to have a way than no way, isn't it? I'll put you in touch with the Institute of Parliamentary Research, and your findings are their greatest encouragement. Douglas reassured.
