Chapter 11: Meditation
Flipping through the meditation book that had been sent, Daniel took a closer look. Meditation is first introduced.
The Beginner Meditation Method, as the name suggests, is a meditation method for wizard apprentices. After all these years of revision, it has reached the point where it is almost flawless, and the elementary meditation methods of each academy are all about the same content.
Specifically, it is a visualization similar to a past life. Boost your mental power by outlining meditation runes in your mind. The more complex the runes are outlined, the faster the mental power will increase.
There are a total of 24 runes written on the Beginner Meditation Method. Ranked from easy to difficult.
For wizard apprentices, it can probably be divided into three stages, Level 1 Apprentice, Level 2 Apprentice, and Level 3 Apprentice.
The runes of the meditation method also correspond to these stages. The first four runes are foundational, and you can succeed as long as you learn them for a while.
The next four runes are much more difficult, and it is difficult for ordinary people to conceive. Suitable for Level 1 apprentices.
The next nine to twelve runes, more difficult, are for second-level apprentices. The thirteenth to sixteenth are for Level 3 apprentices.
As for the last eight, most people don't need to think about it, and even in meditation, it's only listed as the twentieth. The remaining four, which did not appear on it. It seems that other conditions are required to get it.
But according to the book, this is enough. 99% of the apprentices, even at the end, had difficulty meditating on the seventeenth rune.
Daniel probably flipped it over, and it was really difficult. This rune is required to be precise and consists of a thin line that must be completed in one go from beginning to end. It's hard to get it out in your head.
The first four runes are just flat figures, and although it is difficult to sketch them, practice makes perfect, and you can always succeed if you practice them over and over again.
After the fifth rune, it turned out to be a three-dimensional shape, and it became more and more complex.
Without that ability, often the front begins to outline, and without taking two steps, the back has disappeared. It is very difficult to sketch out the three-dimensional runes in your mind.
After a little try, he couldn't even succeed in the first rune. It is a rune similar to a six-pointed star, which seems simple but is difficult to express in the mind.
"Chip assisted, painting. ”
As Daniel gave the command, a red dot of light appeared in his mind, and then moved slowly, sketching a pattern of a six-pointed star in his mind. And over and over again.
Daniel concentrated on moving with the point of light, and soon his spirit sank inside, outlining the pattern of the six-pointed star in its entirety.
After a moment, Daniel let out a long breath and stopped meditating. According to the meditation method, being able to meditate on the first rune in two days is considered a genius.
I can meditate successfully after a while, and I am not a genius among geniuses! Although I am a pseudo-genius assisted by a chip, I am also a genius!
Continuing his efforts, he began to meditate on the second rune. With the assistance of the chip, it took Daniel almost half a day to master it completely.
Seeing that the time was not early, Daniel went out to meet with Vernal and a few people, and before Daniel could speak, Caroline had already spoken.
"What a broken academy actually made me squeeze together with other people. Do you say they don't even have a place to sleep, and they want a dormitory for two people. ”
Vernal similarly complained. "The wizard has a lot of private secrets, and I don't know what the academy thinks, so it allows two people to share a dormitory. And there is only a dozen square meters of space, and there is nothing to spare when you put two beds. Daniel, what about you, how are you there, you should be better than us. ”
"It's okay, I'm alone in a dormitory. ”
Daniel didn't say much, if they knew that they lived alone in a house of sixty or seventy square meters, with a living room and dining room, and even a small study, it would be strange if they didn't envy death.
"I'm really envious, it's good to have a mentor. It's a pity that I don't know when I'll be able to get my mentor to take a fancy to me. ”
Fortunately, they complained, and Vernal proposed, "Let's go and choose an owl together!"
"What are you choosing an owl for?"
"Don't you know! Wizard apprentices don't have enough magic, so it's best to use pets if they want to send messages. Among the pets, owls are the most noble and the most popular, they can not only help their owners deliver letters, but are also a veritable postman. And it can understand human feelings and language, and is a pet with intelligence.
I've heard that owls have the ability to evade magical tracking, are good at flying, and are good at memorizing spells, so they're perfect for being wizards' messengers. ”
It was the first time Daniel had heard about it, so he followed Vernal to the mission area. This is where the entire academy issues quests and apprentices trade.
Daniel had just come to the academy and was not yet familiar with the environment of the academy, so he didn't expect Vernal to have almost inquired about the situation of the academy. Explain it carefully to them on the way.
The mission area is located at the rear of the academy and is a large area, in addition to the mission area in the middle, there is also a demarcated trading area.
All along the way were bustling apprentices, selling everything, Daniel looked at it casually. Some of the stalls are placed directly on the ground, like small vendors in the previous life, which looks very dirty.
The items on the stalls were weapons such as bows and arrows, darts, or biological materials such as fur, huge eyes, teeth, and heads, some of which even had blood stains on them, apparently having just been hunted.
But there are very few people who sell demonized items, and the only fat man with a demonized item is surrounded by a group of apprentices. And the stall owner had a gloomy face, arrogantly disdainful of the others.
Even so, there are still many people who bargain and want to buy, but the stall owner puts on a posture of whether you like to buy or not, and ignores them at all. Make Daniel fully aware of the preciousness of demonized items.
A few people strode into a store filled with countless pets. Owls, parrots, toads, seven-colored birds, and all sorts of other strange pets are countless.
The beautiful beauty clerk walked over, her long ponytail flicking behind her, which was eye-catching, and she knew by the wizarding robe she was wearing that she was also an apprentice of the academy. "It's a new junior, what pets do you want to buy?"
Several people looked at each other, and Vernal said, "We want to buy owls for communication." ”
"It turns out that you want to buy a communication pet, so you don't have to buy an owl! The golden bullfrog jumps fast, and although the transmission distance is close, it can quickly deliver information at close range. The Hercules is almost twice as fast as an owl, and nothing is more suitable. ”
Hearing him say this, several people looked at Daniel and wanted him to give his opinion. This made Daniel complain, he hadn't heard of the owl messenger before he came, how could he know what kind of pet is good.
The library on board is also not introduced. No, it can't be said that there is no introduction, Daniel suddenly remembered that there was a book that mentioned the golden bullfrog.
"Brother, look at how beautiful the pet I bought, golden, and with beautiful patterns on its back, it feels slippery to the touch. The little girl happily showed off to her brother.
At this time, her brother was already full of black lines. "What's the use of being beautiful, the golden bullfrog is an amphibian, and it can't be used without water at ordinary times, and it can't be used at a distance. Or the owl's favorite food. I'm asking you to buy a pet for the owl, you're looking for food for the owl. It's better to keep it in a box and keep it for fun. ”
The little girl was said to be crying wow.
Another book mentions: "Little Jack, be careful when buying owls, and don't forget to buy a few golden bullfrogs, which are owls' favorite food." Feeding the golden bullfrog will enhance your bond with the owl. ”
Daniel was quite speechless, looking at this senior sister very beautiful, I didn't expect her heart to be so black, and she introduced pets to them indiscriminately, which is the rhythm of a pit. Then he asked, "How many magic stones are there for the golden bullfrog?" ”
"This one is very cheap, just a magic stone. And the owl wants three magic stones!"
Daniel smiled and looked at her without speaking. You're really going to trick people, although the book he looked for didn't mention how much the golden bullfrog was worth. However, there is a book that mentions experiments with the breeding of golden bullfrogs.
Abigailti writes about his experiments. "I used utensils to grow the larvae of the golden bullfrog, and after observation, I found that the golden bullfrog is resistant to hunger and thirst, high temperature, and cold, and is very easy to breed. As long as there is enough food, it can grow quickly.
...... Maybe I can find a place to keep golden bullfrogs, so that my owls don't have to run out of food and can sell them. ”
It can be seen from this that the price of the golden bullfrog is not expensive, and it is impossible to reach the price of a magic stone.
Seeing that Daniel didn't mean much interest in the golden bullfrog, the other party began to sell the bull again. "If you don't like the golden bullfrog, you can also choose the Mighty Bull for only two magic stones. Twice as fast as an owl without any drawbacks?"
"How's it going to be at night?"
"At night, flying slower at night is not bad!"
The beautiful clerk listened to his inquiry, her face turned red, but she still said strongly. She can't always tell the truth, like birds, the mighty longhorn rests at night, and has no ability to see at night. At night, he was purely blind.
"Forget it, let's buy a few owls. By the way, the golden bullfrog with two magic stones, doesn't it say that feeding the golden bullfrog for the first time can enhance the relationship?"
"Yes, yes, if you don't say I forgot, there are owls here, you can choose whatever you want. ”
The Fernal people couldn't see that the other party was cheating on them. It's just that they have just arrived at the academy and are not familiar with the situation, so they can only pretend not to know. Anyway, Daniel's help didn't suffer.
