Lucien looked around and found himself in the cramped log cabin where Elvis had found him, almost everything was the same as before, sitting in a wooden chair with a wooden backrest, while Elvis was next to the fireplace in front of him on the left-hand side, and the noise of the adventurer's camp could be heard outside, the only difference was that the wooden spoon that should have been in Elvis's hand fell to the ground, the brass soup can toppled over the fire, and the bright red tomato soup was poured into flames.

As if understanding something, Lucien blurted out, "Your Excellency the Nightmare King?"

"Elvis" didn't deny it, his anger was contained, and his expression became gloomy: "Are you really a mid-level arcanist?"

Lucien remembered the mathematical analysis exercises that appeared in the dream at the last time, and bared his teeth: "I've been deepening my mathematical foundation recently, so I should have a high-level level, right?"

After a pause, Lucien changed the subject in confusion and deliberately, "Your Excellency the Nightmare King, why did you want me to fall into a dream?

Waking up from a dream twice in a row, everything is so real, Lucien is already a little unable to distinguish the difference between reality and dreams, even if he quietly opens the soul library, it can't dispel the confusion in his heart, who knows if the soul library will also appear in the dream realm!

This is the most mysterious magic Lucien has ever seen!

The original "Elvis", now the Nightmare King, said without a smile: "I just accepted the advice of an old friend. He doesn't think your magic level matches your arcane level, so he intends to let you experience different things in the dreams I've constructed. In this way, the potential of the soul is thoroughly developed. You can feel the strength of your soul right now. ”

After hearing the words of the Nightmare King, Lucien directly entered the meditation environment, and the familiar cognitive world realm made Lucien grasp a trace of "real" feeling, and then Lucien opened his eyes and said in surprise: "My soul does have the level of the five rings...... Could it be that the old witch's electric shock stimulates the soul? No, it should be that the activity of the dream is mapped to the soul, which causes the soul to change. ”

Lucian's soul already has the level of the five rings, but the growth of spiritual power will lag for a while.

The Nightmare King Stannis nodded lightly: "All dreams are based on your own cognitive foundation, mental activity, mapping of past memories, etc., everything you experience in the dream will be fed back to the body and soul, but the feedback from normal dreams is very slight. I am the only one in this world who can use it to fully develop the potential of my soul. Of course. It's just that the potential doesn't go beyond your own scope, and if you want to continue to grow, you have to meditate, take potions, and perform rituals. ”

"It turned out to be based on my own cognition and memory mapping, so it's no wonder that there are weird coincidences like 'electric shock stimulation' and 'magic mirror magic mirror tells me'. "Come to think of it. Lucien subconsciously asked, "Your Excellency the Nightmare King." Can 'electric shock stimulation' strengthen the soul?"

Stannis pulled out a smile: "What do you say?"

"When I didn't ask. Lucien replied awkwardly. At this time, he had a lot of questions in his heart. But in the end, he chose the thing that made his head explode: "Your Excellency the Nightmare King, how can you tell the difference between dreams and reality?

Stannis was accustomed to Lucian's dazed state after experiencing "real dreams", and smiled like an old witch: "Why should dreams and reality be so clearly distinguished? What is reality? is your brain's reaction to the outside world." It is your soul's reaction to the outside world. As long as I can directly stimulate your brain and soul to produce a similar response, what is the difference between dreams and reality? ”

In other words, when I react to something in the outside world that the dream creator can't simulate, I can completely distinguish between reality and dreams. Lucien said thoughtfully, and at the same time silently added in his heart, "When I realized that the projection of a certain theory in the world world could blow up the head of the dream creator, the dream was naturally shattered. Wait a minute, and quietly try the wave-particle duality and quantum aspects of light......"

The Nightmare King Stennis was a little appreciative of Lucian's ability to get answers directly from his own descriptions of dreams and realities: "Yes, a young man that my old friend has a crush on. In fact, in the dream, I was trying to avoid you from revealing the latest progress in arcane research, and when I was in the labyrinth, I also avoided other factions and chose the mathematical foundation, and the result was ......" His expression was slightly complicated.

"No wonder the old witch has never been interested in arcane arts, even if it is a dream within a dream, it is only the result of some application. This is contradictory to the madman's recklessness!" Lucien suddenly realized, and then laughed, "It turns out that the old witch is played by you as the Nightmare King, and that kind of madness is very real." ”

Stannis replied with a blank face, "Strictly speaking, half of the old witch is a projection of something fearful in your heart, and the other half is what I fill in and shape to give to the mind, so that it is real enough." In addition, I played Adam, Karina, Alva, Ophelia, Brad and others as well. ”

Lucien was immediately embarrassed, this is the real version of "Don't look at the many people here talking to you, it's actually all my vest"?

In order to hide his embarrassment, Lucien hurriedly asked another question: "Your Excellency the Nightmare King, that is to say, this mission is purely so that I can meet you, accept your dream tempering, and develop my own potential?

Stannis said a little gloomily: "At the same time, it is also a test. If you can't get the letter here, there's no such thing as a 'real dream'. As for my old friend, he probably took a fancy to your talent and potential and wanted you to become his disciple. You've probably been put to a similar test before. ”

"Could it be that the strange summoning incident encountered in the castle is also a test?" Lucien suddenly remembered the incident, but "Viken" had a connection with the missing legendary magicians such as Muskelin, whom he knew. It really didn't seem to be fake, so I asked again: "I don't know which of your Excellency?"

The Nightmare King seemed reluctant to mention that name: "You'll know when you return to the Magic Council." The letter on your body is actually a special magic scroll that automatically triggers when you receive a fatal attack, taking you to a certain half-plane, which you can activate yourself if you want to save time returning to the Magic Council. ”

This special magic scroll is at least a ninth-level item, right? I don't know how much gold can be exchanged for Lu Dao? Lucien suddenly had a kind of "grief and indignation" that "he has eyes but doesn't know Taishan", and he is running around with such a high-level item but he doesn't know its value at all, what should he do if he drops it!

However, this also made Lucien's little resentment about the Magic Council disappear, and they didn't use any tests to put themselves in real danger.

Seeing Lucien take out the letter and "look at it" carefully, the Nightmare King Stannis waved his hand: "You go out." I'm going back to the Magic Tower. ”

"It's good. Excellency. Lucien stood up and took his leave.

Although Lucien has only entered the threshold of the Five Rings with his soul, he is not worried that his arcane level will not be able to keep up, the only problem is to spend more time making up for illusions, transformations and other areas that he is not very good at, at least the foundation must be solid. There can't be anything missing—the Nightmare King's methods are breathtaking. Even if you can't reach this level yourself. When faced with the magic of the corresponding faction, it is impossible to be ignorant of it.

Step out of the cabin and return to the adventurer's camp filled with spirits and obscene smells. Lucien walked forward like a walk, with a sense of ease in completing the task, and as he walked, Lucien was suddenly stunned and remembered a detail: "Isn't the Nightmare King an ancient magician?

............

Inside the cabin, the Nightmare King Stannis did not leave immediately, but said to himself:

"The enclosed demon land, the imprisoned tower, reflects the greatest fear in his heart, which seems to be a microcosm of the entire world. But why does he feel that he is closed and imprisoned?"

"He can stay calm and observant in dangerous situations, not desperate or crazy, and has a good quality, but it was not until Ophelia's death that he sped up his escape maneuvers. This can be seen that there have been incidents in which relatives and friends who occupied an important position in his heart were hurt or even died, which made him have a great change in his mentality, and at the same time left a deep psychological imprint. ”

"Adam is probably a collective projection of the male friends who have helped him for whatever reason before, there is a sincere side, and there is also a side of utilization, but what would be called Adam? Karina also represents the female friends he has taken care of and have been helped by them, but there is less ambiguity and emotion, indicating that he is still uncertain about his inner feelings, or has deep worries. ”

"After becoming a prisoner, he pinned a little hope on the rescue of the legendary magician of the Magic Council, and it can be seen from the side that he once received help from some powerful people, and formed a certain dependence in his heart. ”

"The old witch is a mad, smart, powerful villain, this is a mixed projection of his enemies, there is a church, there are ancient magicians, there are modern arcanists, what can be a woman?"

"What are the manifestations of mental activity such as 'electric shock stimulation' and 'magic mirror magic mirror tells me'?"

"In the face of danger, being able to ruthlessly cut off his arm and escape from confinement reflects the fierceness and determination of his heart, which is also a very good quality. After that, there were no casualties in a series of battles, and even in the face of the old witch, Adam was only on the verge of death, indicating that he also had a soft side in his heart, and he attached more importance to feelings and help. ”

"The existence of underground ruins reflects that he knows some unknown secret or place, and it is probably a ruin. ”

"Also, his unique magic is very interesting, and the method of disarming the magic circle and erasing the spiritual imprint is also very good. ”

A figure slowly appeared on another wooden chair opposite Stannis, his white hair mixed with a lot of black threads, wearing a bright red robe, his appearance was half-old, clear and handsome, and a pair of red eyes looked at the Nightmare King brightly: "The development of magic brought by the arcane in the past few hundred years has been better than that of the Magic Empire for thousands of years, Stannis, do you still want to die on the wrong path and never look back?"

Stannis was silent for a moment before saying, "Give me another level of arcane books." By the way, I don't want those that appeared in that kid's dream, I can't bear it......"
