Xia Duo did not deny the existence of miracles, but he believed in the miracle of man's victory over heaven.

It's just that in his consistent cognition, the earth universe has always been a material universe, and there should be no will of civilization or planet.

Therefore, doubt is just doubt, and even if it is true, Xia Duo has his own will and will not succumb to the instinct of the bloodline.

……

On this day, Xia Duo and Nia were carrying out the adaptation exercise of "wanting to refuse and welcome", when news suddenly came from Severnton, and Iolem personally informed:

"Let's rest for a few more days and come back, the project can be finished."

When he received this news, Xia Duo was still a little incredulous, could it be that the elf's monitoring magic was just like that? It's only been solved in a few days?

"Teacher, is there a problem with the elven magic over there?" Xia Duo hurriedly asked.

"Of course it can't be so smooth, but I thought of a trick, it's okay to use it in an emergency, but it's not worth promoting."

"What is the method? Is it to go to the secondary plane? Or something else? ”

Xia Duo had also considered how to deal with the elves' monitoring magic before, but there was actually no better way than to avoid it.

According to his calculations, even if a simple and easy response is found in the future, the cost will not be small, so it is said that Comanso's proposal is a conspiracy.

However, in the arraignment, Iolem did not reveal the specific way of tricking, but just asked the Chado territory to hurry back to Severton after he was done.

Xia Duo didn't continue to ask about this, but mentioned another thing: "By the way, teacher, I sent a message to ask about the [Mechanical Mind] spell before, did you receive it?" ”

"Rogered, I'll have someone send a study scroll to the Tower of Time later, you pay attention to it. Also, don't forget to take care of your territory before coming to Severton. ”

"yes, got it."

Xia Duo finally responded, but his heart was actually a little empty, and his current state was not suitable for contact with other people.

He was sure that Iolem wouldn't have any special thoughts about his bloodline, but using the prestige itself would also cause inconvenience to others, and if it interfered with the end of the project, it was not what Xodor wanted to see.

In fact, the end of the project has no impact on him, and the final stage is more to test the stability of the device, as well as optimize some details in the process of production, installation, commissioning and use.

As far as Xia Duo himself is concerned, of course, he would like to participate in the final stage, but only if he can minimize the explicit influence of the bloodline, if not, it may be more appropriate not to participate.

"Come on, Nia, let's keep practicing!"

"Wait, I just received an urgent letter from the Arcane Federation, marked confidential, the recipient is you, is it the [mechanical mind] you mentioned earlier?"

"I guess so, you send the letter over and take a look at it!"

"Hmm."

Nia did so, sending a thin booklet from the communication room that radiated a strong magical aura, with a plain cover, no text patterns, and what appeared to be exactly the same material as the inside pages.

If it weren't for the magical aura emitted on it, it might have been used as a stack of new paper that hadn't been used yet.

In the process of removing protection and encryption, Xia Duo did it very easily, and after a while, the thin booklet lost most of its magical aura, and at the same time, it also turned into a pile of scattered papers, on which words and graphics appeared.

There were three copies of the study scrolls, not the one that Iolum had just mentioned, and the rest were scribbled handwritten notes, which, judging by the traces, did not seem to have been written at the same time. valley

Seeing these notes, Xia Duo's heart was quite moved, he just asked casually, and Iolem even had the notes ready.

"Niya, I'll take one copy of the study scroll, and I'll give you the rest."

"Well, thank you, Shado."

"What else do we say thank you for!"

Next, Xia Duo and Nia continued to practice adaptation, and of course, now there is another project, which is to learn [Mechanical Mind].

For Nia, [Mechanical Mind] is a pure mind spell, but for Xia Duo, this is not just a spell, but also a subconscious training method.

It is difficult for ordinary people to reach the subconscious realm on their own, but Xia Duo can!

The [Mechanical Mind] provided by Eolam essentially flips the subconscious mind with the surface consciousness, allowing the subconscious mind to dominate, leaving the caster in a state of almost absolute sanity.

But at the same time, the surface consciousness has not completely "melted" in the huge ocean of the subconscious, and can still have a certain degree of independence, and provide a leading role in the general direction of the subconscious judgment.

This is simply similar to the unification latent and surface consciousness that Xia Duo envisioned before, but Xia Duo's idea is more advanced and more complete.

The reason why it is said to be mechanical is that the behavior of the subconscious mind has a relatively fixed pattern, and the caster's own apparent consciousness cannot control everything.

If the unfortunate enemy finds out and takes advantage of it, it may be better to deal with it than not to use the [Mechanical Mind].

But for Xia Duo at this stage, the complete integration of the latent and the apparent consciousness is far away, and it is okay to use this "flat replacement" first.

What's more, compared to the average caster who can only use spells mechanically, he can control more, and after the spell is over, he can still imitate it to a certain extent.

In other words, as long as he learns from the [Mechanical Mind], Xia Duo will eventually be able to obtain the passive effect of weakened Absolute Reason and Immunity to Psychic Spells.

Of course, what is more important is that the process of learning and imitating the [mechanical mind] is actually the training of integrating the latent and surface consciousness.

Even, it is not completely impossible to conclude a set of training methods suitable for ordinary people.

……

The next day.

Although the casting process was not very smooth, Xia Duo finally completed the first full cast of [Machine Mind].

When the spell was completed, Xia Duo felt that all his seven emotions and six desires had disappeared without a trace, but if he felt it carefully, he could actually find some clues.

Not to disappear, but to suppress.

The process of representation of consciousness is dominated by the huge subconscious, and the expressive consciousness that originally contains the self and is full of emotions is hidden in the ocean of the subconscious.

Xia Duo felt that he was still able to decide what his body did, but there were some behaviors that were clearly "resisted", such as unnecessary movements, or actions that would hurt him.

If you do it forcibly, you can do it, but it will greatly reduce the duration of the [Mechanical Mind] state.

In addition, if there is no continuous command, the body will remain motionless, and in terms of control, it will be very inhumane.
