3. Mental deviance
The air is hot and sultry, the air is surging, the sun over the continent is unusually hot at this time, and unlike the seasonal climate on the earth, the summer in this world is very dangerous, and the temperature can even reach the boiling point of water in some special places.
Looking up, a large gray tower sits in the middle of the wizarding school, and the scorching sunlight and elements are gathered at the top of the tower by enchanted items, which regulate the temperature of the school complex as a clean energy source.
Contrary to common knowledge on Earth, thirteen months of the year in this world are divided equally by the seasons, and it is now the 'middle of summer' in August on the continent, which is the time of summer vacation for wizarding schools.
Holidays are better than classes, this is a common understanding of all wizard apprentices, nearly two months of vacation are all used to cope with school tasks and accumulate resources, many apprentices who are close to graduation even need to rely on magic potions to maintain a long night stay.
"Is the wizard's magic regulated? The temperature and sunlight inside and outside the room can vary greatly enough, and there is no sunlight regulation on Earth. ”
Jack squinted and walked out of the dormitory of the wizarding school, surrounded by many apprentices running back and forth, and even in the sky there were many old apprentices flying in and out of strange creatures.
"Squeak ......"
A black ant the size of a horse pulled a wooden cart and stopped in front of the school dormitory, a native creature of the continent, the 'pack ant', because of its great strength and docile nature, many places use it as a means of transportation.
"Central Hall, thank you!"
Jack stepped onto the wooden cart, and after much deliberation in the room, he had picked out a few black tasks that paid well, and was now about to go to the school hall to complete the formalities of submission.
"Well, this junior, there is some trouble over there now, several factions among the old students of the school are causing trouble and confrontation in order to compete for the task, I don't dare to run over there now, I advise you not to go over there yet. ”
A tall, beautiful woman turned her head and smiled bitterly at the young man, she was a wizard apprentice driving this wooden cart, and it seemed that she was supposed to take advantage of the holidays to attract people to make a little money.
"Competing for a task? There shouldn't be any good goods on today's task documents?"
Frowning slightly, Jack knew that some noble apprentices who had reached the wizard level would form forces to compete for rewarding tasks, and it would be very miserable to be involved in their fight for no reason.
"The temporary task issued by the school tutor is said to be rewarded with a grimace flower that can improve the efficiency of meditation, and several old students who are ready to attack the wizard level are going crazy because of this. ”
The tall woman smashed her mouth greedily, the wizards of this era basically rely on meditation to break through the realm, and resources like grimace flowers that can improve the efficiency of meditation are all rare goods.
"Grimace Flower, these guys are probably going to make trouble for a long time, senior sister, take me to the meditation tower in the Southern District!"
Jack thought for a moment before making a decision, and the tall woman was slightly stunned when she heard his words, as if she was a little surprised that the boy didn't ask about the impromptu task.
"Okay, Southside Meditation Tower, right? ”
Nodding slightly, the ant cart moved forward, the tall woman quickly returned to normal and neatly controlled the 'pack ant' forward, and from time to time she also chatted with Jack about interesting things about school, and the two talked happily along the way.
"Jack, what are you going to do later? I can also introduce people here, and it won't be difficult to find a few freshmen with good mental strength. ”
The tall woman smiled brightly, she had a good impression of this steady black-haired junior, and at this time she was thinking about pulling him into her small team, and even the fare on the way was generously waived by her.
"Exterminating giant insects and taking care of the magic grass are very tiring tasks, and it would be great if Senior Sister Rose could find someone to help. ”
Jack smiled and nodded, just like those old students who hit the wizard level, ordinary wizard apprentices will also complete tasks in groups, and this tall woman named Rose is a member of a small team.
"Well, I can probably find eight people to help you, we can get together and finish it quickly, although the money will be less, but it's much better than doing it alone, and we also have a black hunting mission, you can follow along if you are interested. ”
After hearing what this senior sister said, Jack readily agreed, it would be great to find a small team to join, so that the efficiency of completing the task would be greatly improved, and after leaving contact information, Jack said goodbye to this senior sister Rose and began to go to the meditation tower.
"Southside Meditation Tower, built by elite wizard Wendy Garonca, a gift to his alma mater, Continental 2001. ”
With a little emotion, Jack stood in front of a tall white tower and began to look up at the black inscription on it, which was the goal of his efforts for the soul in his body who was obsessed with enchanted objects.
Amazingly, this towering white tower is a huge and precious enchanted object that helps wizard apprentices complete their meditations through the modulation of elemental and psychic powers, and it is also a precious gift from an elite wizard to his alma mater.
"I don't know when I will be able to create such a magical building!"
Jack sighed softly and walked up the meditation tower, where five large skeleton statues clinged to the tower and began to approach it, as the magic puppets protecting the meditation tower were verifying Jack's identity.
Jack Brans, Foundation 1993. ”
Jack exhaled softly after hearing the familiar old voice, and the nearly four-meter skeleton statue made him feel slightly depressed and nervous, knowing that these behemoths could kill his own weak wizard apprentice at will.
"The school values this meditation tower very much, in addition to these magic golems, it has also domesticated many powerful undead creatures, many of which are guards who have reached the official wizard level. ”
Jack reminisced as he walked into the white tower, which looked like a giant beehive, filled with hexagonal meditation rooms, and from time to time a few brightly dressed wizard apprentices came and went.
Jack, who had just completed a red mission yesterday, had almost consumed his mental power, and he originally planned to come here after taking over the task, but who would have thought that those apprentice factions would make trouble and block the way, so he had to change his plan temporarily.
"The high-level meditation room rental is not cheap, not to mention that I still applied temporarily, I want to use magic potions to assist in meditation, but considering the fusion of my soul, it is better to be cautious to come here for a meditation. ”
The environment on the continent is different now than in ancient times, because of the thousand-year war of ancient wizards, the elements of radiation and chaos are filled in this continent, and wizard apprentices cannot meditate as freely as before, and it has become very difficult to obtain and improve their strength.
Unlike wizards who are skilled in meditation and magic, it is difficult for apprentices to meditate on their own, and they basically rely on drugs and special environments to create the conditions for their meditation, and this tower is the place to assist the apprentices in meditation.
Because of this, the apprentice promotion in this era is much more difficult than in ancient times, and only by being able to complete meditation without adding foreign objects can he be regarded as having the basic qualification to impact the wizard, under this premise, if the apprentice's meditation efficiency can break through the boundary, he can sublimate his spiritual power to become a powerful wizard.
"I hope that the spiritual power will not decline, after all, it is the fusion of two souls, if the spiritual power is damaged and decreased, it will be miserable. ”
Slightly uneasy, Jack began to adjust his state of mind after renting a standard meditation room, and maintaining a calm mind is also a must for wizard apprentices before meditating.
Taking a deep breath and frowning and closing his eyes, Jack summoned his mental strength to meditate, and in the narrow hexagonal room, faint arcs and sparks began to spread all over the walls, the meditation tower was helping Jack filter the radiant and chaotic elements of the environment.
"Oh my God, this is, a spirit bubble, my mental power has grown so much!?"
Jack's body shook violently, and after entering the meditative state, he sensed a crystal 'bubble' in his brain, which was also the embodiment of the apprentice's spiritual power, and at this time, the 'bubble' in his mind was more than a full circle larger than what he remembered.
"Is it because of the fusion of souls? My spiritual power has more than doubled!"
Jack's face began to flush with excitement, you must know that the growth of mental power can only be slowly improved by long-term exercise, but now he has saved several years of hard work!
The room shook, and just as Jack was in ecstasy, the meditation room he was in trembled a few times, and soon the head of a hideous-looking girl emerged from the white wall......
