Chapter 101: Mind Casting Spells
Benjamin returned to his room without incident. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he came out, he had hidden his clothes in the abandoned distillery before. So, having taken a bath with the help of water balloon, and taking off his beggar's clothes, he turned back into the noble young master, and returned to the Rieser family unharmed, as if he had only come out for a stroll that afternoon.
At this moment, he finished his dinner and was sitting on his bed, looking at a small mirror in his hand.
After leaving the prison ruins, he did not return home immediately. Although I am worried about the church's troubles, the church is in such a hurry now, and it will definitely not react so quickly. So, before the church began the search, he could act with less concern.
So, he went to the "old place" that Michelle had told him about, found the third tree, and dug up Anne's relics.
That's right, although Anne betrayed Michelle, and the two of them had all kinds of hypocrisy, but what she said when she said goodbye was true.
She really left something for Michelle, but Michelle ignored it. If it weren't for Benjamin's obsession, perhaps these things would have been buried forever under that dead tree, with no chance of seeing the light of day.
Fortunately, he went, and he also gained something.
The mirror in his hand was the magic prop he had found from Anne's relics.
However, for some reason, he felt that this mirror was different from other magic items.
Like the ring and cross he had found from the priest, as he approached, Benjamin could feel a faint aura of magic from them. But this mirror was different, no matter how close he came, he couldn't feel anything.
Because of this, he almost mistook it for an ordinary mirror.
However, when he focused his mental energy on the mirror, the mirror would suddenly glow, and then, an illusion that looked exactly like him would appear in front of him.
When he first saw the phantom, Benjamin was really startled, and he felt like he had seen a ghost in the daylight. However, recovering from his astonishment, he suddenly found that he could use his mental power to manipulate the phantom, making it jump up and down and make any vivid expression.
Aside from the fact that it can't make a sound or be touched, this apparition is so real that it can even trick the magical element. Even if Benjamin uses the water elemental sensing method to sense, he can't find the slightest flaw.
Not only that, but he soon discovered that everything the phantom saw would be all visible in this mirror.
He immediately realized how valuable this little mirror was.
Not only can it confuse its opponents and set up deceptions, but at certain special moments, the phantoms it summons can also take the place of its owner to probe dangerous places.
It's simply, how did Anne get such a powerful thing?
And what's even stranger is that she didn't use it yet, but just buried it in the dirt, saying that she was going to leave it to Michelle - what was she thinking?
I don't understand.
However, Anne is long dead, and even if Benjamin can't figure it out, no one can jump out to answer his doubts. Therefore, he quickly forgot about these things and concentrated on studying the little mirror.
However, after several experiments, Benjamin discovered with some regret that the distance between the apparition and him could not exceed five hundred meters. He could control the phantom to a distance of exactly five hundred meters, but if the phantom took one more step forward, it would immediately disappear without a trace.
It's a pity.
If it's a little farther away, this thing can even be called an artifact.
But it's not bad now, and Benjamin doesn't plan to force anything more. Originally, he didn't expect much from Anne's relics, but he was already very satisfied with the good thing.
People, don't be too greedy.
There was nothing more valuable in Anne's relics other than this mirror. Small objects such as combs and dolls, Benjamin thought about it, but still didn't throw them away, preparing to give them to Michelle when he had the chance, which can be regarded as completing Anne's farewell words.
With this in mind, Benjamin sat on the bed, looked at the mirror in his hand a few more times, and put it away. Then, he pulled out three magic items that he had scavenged from the priest.
He also figured out what they could be used for.
The cross necklace, its function is to enhance people's affinity for holy light, and it is naturally useless to Benjamin, so he has to press the bottom of the box to accumulate dust.
And as for these two rings......
After Benjamin put on one of them, he felt that his mental strength had increased slightly, and he was naturally very happy. As for the other ring, after he put it on, he suddenly felt that his body had become lighter, as if his movements had become a little faster.
Can it be? He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He suddenly remembered that during the battle with the priest, the priest rolled around with a lazy donkey, dodging the action of bouncing the light. He was a little surprised by the priest's quick response, but now that he thinks about it, he is probably the result of the ring.
Being able to move faster is also a good help for mages.
In this way, after studying these magic items, a ring with spirit +2 and a ring with agility +2, Benjamin put them away and put them on when he was ready to use them - after all, they are stolen goods, and they should be used carefully.
He quickly lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered the space of consciousness to continue his magical cultivation.
This time, however, he didn't start meditating.
He was going to start researching what was called "mind-casting spells".
The experience of sneaking up on a paladin with an ice needle reminded him of the lack of means to sneak up on him - it's not always the time to run away, use magic, summon ice needles, and then run back to attack someone else. More often than not, he needs to condense the ice needles on the spot and pierce them into other people's arms without delay.
The sneak attack on Scar Man was successful before because they were too close, and Scar Man didn't react. If you don't have such the right conditions, it is actually very difficult to sneak up on others with ice needles.
Because of this, Benjamin thought of casting spells in his heart.
If he could use his magic without chanting spells, the success rate of the sneak attack would be higher.
He also remembered that it was said in "Introduction to Divine Arts" that the cultivation method of opening up the consciousness space could be achieved by casting spells in the mind. Unfortunately, the book doesn't explain exactly how to do this. Therefore, he had to study on his own.
After thinking about it, he first started the experiment in the consciousness space.
He closed his eyes, felt the water elemental around him, and silently recited the spell of water polo in his heart, and the result was predictable - nothing happened. Soon, however, he realized that magical characters were the foundation of everything, so he changed his strategy and began to feel the rune water while concentrating and silently reciting the spell of the water polo technique.
Unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, it was still empty, and nothing had happened.
Benjamin felt a little frustrated.
He is well aware that the release of magic is the vibration of the characters to guide the surrounding water element, and finally form magic. But if he can't pronounce the spell, how can he make the magic characters vibrate?
With this in mind, he walked in front of the rune water and stared at the triangular characters that were suspended in mid-air and shimmered with blue light.
Can only the spell of water polo make it vibrate?
But...... The so-called mind casting spell means that you can still release magic without reciting spells.
What to do?
He really didn't have any ideas, so he could only stare at the rune water like this, silently reciting the incantation in his heart over and over again.
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times...... It seemed that the situation had changed again, he had not yet opened up the space of consciousness, did not know how to learn magic, and could only loop this short but profound water polo spell indefinitely.
Perhaps, perhaps, to break his current impasse, it will take such repeated hard labor?
He immediately made up his mind.
Isn't it just a water polo spell hundreds of thousands of times? What are you afraid of, he's been here all over again, what can he do again? Anyway, there is a lot of time, what if he doesn't sleep tonight, he has a relationship with this thing!
So, he really stared at the triangle characters and started the single cycle in his heart.
