Chapter 12: Death's Commendation

In the room, Lawson certainly didn't sleep.

At an age when your energy is exploding, you are full of food and drink, and you are warm, and you only paint a few pictures, how can you be tired?

Lying on the carpet, after a little concentration, summon the desktop, open "Lawson's Spell Book", turn to the first page of resting meditation, and click Run.

In the next moment, the noise in his ears subsided, and he entered a deep meditation state again.

This time, no one bothered, and he was able to meditate wholeheartedly.

At first, I felt that the warmth in my body became stronger little by little, and my mood was very happy.

But gradually, a doubt emerged in Rosen's mind.

'According to common sense, the deeper the mana, the better. Then since resting meditation can increase mana, isn't it true that the longer you meditate, the deeper your mana will be. ’

However, Cyrus did not seem to do this, but ran around all day. ’

Is there a limit to rest meditation, and isn't it better to meditate longer? ’

Thinking like this, Rosen's heart shook slightly, and he retreated from the deep meditation state.

As soon as he quit, he felt that something was not quite right.

The brain was unusually excited, and all kinds of thoughts came and went, and I couldn't suppress it.

It felt like consciousness was like a pot of boiling water, bubbling wildly.

That's not a good thing.

Lawson felt a dull pain in his brain, his heart was beating violently, and his breathing became very short.

His body was desperately trying to provide energy to his extremely excited brain, and he seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

He was taken aback, but fortunately he had had a similar experience in his previous life.

When the brain is used excessively, all kinds of thoughts come and go, and the brain is so excited that it can't sleep all night.

The way to deal with this is to empty your mind and let the thoughts pop up, but never think deeply to strengthen the thoughts, but let the thoughts fade away.

I don't know if it works, but it's the only thing he can do at the moment.

He struggled to empty his mind.

Gradually, it really worked.

The boiling water cooled little by little, the turmoil in the sea of consciousness gradually subsided, and the internal organs that provided energy to the restless brain gradually quieted down.

'Whew~~~'

Rosen let out a long breath and said secretly in his heart: "In ordinary meditation, there is such a risk hidden. ”

He felt that if he continued to meditate regardless of it, he might not be greeted by a pot of 'boiling water', but a 'burning flame'.

At that time, his body may stop working directly because he can't withstand the huge pressure, and he will die suddenly.

But why is that? ’

Lawson couldn't help but ask.

There is no answer, and no one will give him an answer.

But it doesn't matter, he can find the answer on his own.

Summoning the desktop again, he opened Rosen's Adventure Journal, and located the moment when he copied the portrait of Cyrus yesterday afternoon.

At that moment, Cyrus was flipping through his spell notes, and Lawson focused his perspective on Cyrus's spell notes.

Soon, Rosen saw what was in the note.

"The primary standard spell 'Missile Triple Strike'? It was supposed to be the dark red ball of light that blew up Wald's hands and feet that night. ”

"Spell structure, mana route, spell points...... Why are there so many wacky symbols? I can't understand it at all, wow! ”

This page of formal spells is very cumbersome.

Lawson's feeling is like that elementary school students can recognize Chinese characters when they read advanced mathematics, but there are many proper nouns with unknown meanings, and special symbols that do not know the specific meaning.

It's like a book from heaven.

After watching it for a long time, Rosen had to give up reading the content of the 'Missile Triple Strike'.

A single missile can blow off your hands and feet, and if you mess around without understanding it, I'm afraid you'll be the ones who will break your hands and feet.

He didn't want to be crippled for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, although Cyrus had been working on the Arcane Missile, when he first turned the page, the early part of the note flashed quickly.

If you don't pause, you won't be able to see the words on the page, but the adventure log can pause, and you can freely change angles, and even zoom in and out to a certain extent.

After some attempts, Rosen finally read the contents of the previous pages.

Title: "Meditation-related knowledge and points".

It was the knowledge that Rosen wanted most at the moment, and his breathing thickened with excitement, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and he couldn't help but pray secretly.

"Sanqing Buddha Haotian God, the god of all earths, bless and bless the prodigal son who has crossed the other world! This time, be blunt, and don't mess with the symbols! ”

After some prayer, he continued to look down.

See the first sentence.

"Meditation is a basic lesson for mages, and it is the only way to increase mana. A strong mage must have profound mana and a solid foundation in meditation. ”

"Well, okay, I can understand that."

This is followed by the second sentence.

'There are three basic quantities of mana. The first is the total amount. The second is intensity. The third is polarity. ’

For Rosen, who graduated from science, this sentence is simple and straightforward, and it is easy to understand.

Next to the third sentence.

'Spells are powered by mana. The power of a given spell is closely related to the amount of mana consumed, and there is a very strict quantitative relationship between them. ’

Seeing this, Rosen's scalp was a little numb, and he had a bad premonition: "Don't come to the symbol!" ”

Let's look at the next sentence.

'As far as low-tier spells are concerned, their power basically follows the following formula. That is, mana power = mana constant * mana consumption * strength ² * standard polarity value ³. ’

There are a lot of strange symbols in this sentence, and Lawson couldn't understand it at first, but after careful scrutiny and research, he actually understood it.

Although the manifestation is different from that of the earth, this should be a mathematical formula.

Although I understood it, my scalp was a little numb.

"It's square and cube, and there's a mana constant. No wonder Cyrus would say that sorcery is the power of rigor. ”

This is so closely integrated with mathematics, can it not be rigorous?

After seeing this information, Rosen's heart was first amazed, then joyful.

Why?

Because he was also a hot-blooded teenager in his previous life, he wanted to become a scientist.

For this dream, he studied the unpopular major of mathematics and physics basic science in college, and his grades were quite good, and he almost passed the bachelor's, master's and doctor's degrees.

It's a pity that there was an accident in the family later, and in order to make money, I had to go to the sea to do business.

I think back to learning all kinds of knowledge in college, such as mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, analytic geometry, real variable functions, complex variable functions, and so on.

Rosen felt a little tingling in his head, and at the same time there was a deep fluke.

After more than 20 years in business, he has almost forgotten the specific knowledge, but fortunately, the adventure journal can see all the experiences of his past life, so that he can relive his college days.

He moved on to the next sentence.

'For beginner apprentices, resting meditation is the foundation, but resting meditation can only increase the total amount of mana, and the increase in mana strength and polarity is minimal. ’

I can understand this sentence, so read on.

So, on the basis of resting meditation, the sages explored a higher form of meditation, which is visualization. ’

'Visualization, guided by concrete imagery, can simultaneously increase the three basic quantities of mana. But there are two things to be aware of. ”

First, visualization can give mana special polarity, but there may be unexpected conflicts between different mana polarities. So, be extremely careful when choosing specific visualization images! ’

Second, the stronger the visualization image, the closer it is to the origin of the world, the faster the mana increases, but at the same time, the more dangerous it becomes. For the sake of life safety, it is necessary to choose the visualization image carefully. ’

These are also easy to understand, and Lawson continued to look down.

"The imagery is different, and the polarity of mana is also different. Theoretically, there is no such thing as a mana with the same polarity.

According to the method of distinguishing imaginary images, mana can be divided into two main categories. One kind of view, one kind of view of gods. The former becomes a mage, and the latter is a divine servant. ”

This is very detailed, and Lawson looks more and more attentive.

"The sun, the source of the flames, is me, Cyrus. Gorril's visual imagery.

'After years of cultivation, I have developed a flame polarity, and when I drive a fire spell, I can get the maximum bonus to the power of my spells. It's a pity that my talent is not good, I don't have many resources, and my mana growth has stagnated in recent years, so I have to choose another ....... Hey~~~~"

At this point, this page of notes is over.

Lawson subconsciously flipped back, but found that several pages were turned over together, and naturally he couldn't see the content. By the time I can see the content, it's already a book from heaven.

I had no choice but to exit the adventure log.

He opened his eyes, staring blankly at the flames jumping in the furnace beside him, and asked himself.

"So, what is my visualization?"

Cyrus said that the stronger the image, the closer it is to the source, the faster the mana increases, but also the more dangerous it is.

He was not afraid of danger, because he was already in danger.

He needs strength!

So what is the most powerful, the closest to the source?

Sun?

For mortals, it is indeed strong and boundless, and it can be called the source of flames.

But for Rosen, a traveler who has experienced the baptism of science, the sun is just an ordinary yellow dwarf.

In front of the Milky Way and even the universe, it is a great exaggeration to say that Niu Jiuyi is a hair, and a drop in the ocean is a big lift.

'That'...... Supernova explosion? ’

'Black hole at the center of the Milky Way? ’

'Home Cluster? ’

No, no, no, none of this is enough. If you want to come, just come to the big one, and I'll directly visualize the creation singularity of the Big Bang! ’

In the void where there is no meaning, there is an infinite and tiny point, but it contains the energy of the entire universe.

Because of some slight disturbance, this singularity exploded in a very short moment, creating an entire universe!

It was only after that moment of creation that time, space, energy, laws, and all that so on all had meaning.

In the moment after the creation of the universe, the extreme heat erupted, so that the atoms could not exist, and the entire universe was a pot of quark soup condensed to the extreme.

Tens of billions of years after the Big Bang, the reverberations of the Big Bang are still reverberating in every corner of the universe.

Everything created by the Big Bang turned into stars, radiating an almost eternal brilliance in the night sky.

There is no more concrete, more powerful, and more primordial existence than the creation singularity that Rosen can imagine.

But that's not enough!

In order to be more concrete, more precise, and more in-depth to assist his imagination, Rosen opened the adventure diary, watched the memories of his past life, and watched the moment of the creation of the universe described by mathematical logic.

As he struggled to imagine the creation singularity in his mind, a stream of information flowed through his mind.

Is it based on the creation singularity as a visual image? ’

"Yes!"

'Rosen's Book of Spells has been included in Meditation: The Singularity of Creation. ’

Lawson immediately condensed on the desktop, opened the corresponding page in the spell book, stared at the page for 2 seconds, and popped up the run option.

'Is it running?' ’

"Yes!"

After a moment, Rosen felt the existence of an extremely small to extreme but extremely bright, extremely hot, and extremely dense origin in his mind.

After another moment, he felt the faint warmth in his body grow at an incredible speed, and became extremely hot, as if it was about to burn his body to ashes!

After less than 1 breath and less than 2 seconds before and after, Lawson felt unable to stay up and desperately retreated from the meditation state.

In a short time, he was panting like a cow, his heart was beating like a drum, his whole body was hot, and he was sweating profusely, so that white water vapor rose from his head.

What's even more terrifying is that his consciousness has once again become boiling water.

No, this time it's bursting magma!

Rosen had a splitting headache, and every sudden thought was like a sharp knife condensed by flames, piercing his brain fiercely.

He clasped his head tightly with his hands, trying to empty his mind and calm his thoughts.

It's very, very difficult, many times more difficult than the last time.

At many moments, Rosen almost thought he was going to die.

But in the end, he survived!

When the volcano in his mind stopped erupting, when everything returned to calm, Rosen clearly felt a condensed warmth welling up in his body.

The mana has really improved.

It's many times stronger than before meditation!

Hovering several times on the edge of life and death, his courage was 'rewarded' by the Grim Reaper.
