Chapter 141 (2/2)

”I don't know if you can read, but if you don't understand, you can come to me. I can't. So can Bucher Zhao Mai put away his umbrella and exposed himself to the hot sun. Then he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

He's learning psychic powers.

There's nothing we can do about it. Atas's natural force is too weak. Only when the wizard King controls the city can he cast his magic without restriction. Moreover, as long as he casts a spell, he will absorb the vitality around him. From the beginning of vegetation, all living things will be affected until the extinction, and continue to destroy the vitality of the planet itself.

Some mages can realize the harm brought by their casting, and then consciously control to avoid irrecoverable damage. They are called guardians. However, even the guardian may cause irrecoverable permanent damage to the environment due to emergency or some kind of out of control, thus becoming a blasphemer. Once he becomes a blasphemer, atas's planetary will will invade this person, even if he wants to regain control and become a guardian.

Zhao Mai's own magic ability is relatively weak and won't cause great damage. However, he draws the force but doesn't cast his magic. He hasn't been infected by the will of the planet yet. But even if you carefully control the scale of casting, over time, the forest will turn into a desert, and the green will turn into yellow, and that's how the sand sea of atas came into being. It's all the arcane user's fault, but now even the Druids are involved. Now the ecology of the planet is irrecoverable. Even the most careful Druids, even the Druids who follow the guardian's code of conduct, can only cause damage.

Magic is evil and becomes truth in this extreme environment.

But life always finds a way out, and psychic powers are the way out. In addition, Zhao Mai needs to preserve his physical strength to cope with the harsh natural environment, so he doesn't need to use the natural force. Learning spiritual powers becomes his best choice to pass the time.According to the psychic Manual of the halfling, the limits of the physical senses contribute to the creation of psychic powers, while the sun - though brutal - is the source of all the energy of atas. Zhao Mai exposed himself to the scorching sun and began to look inside and meditate. The unbearable pain challenged his physical limit and caused his internal strength to fight back. Before learning psychic powers, this power is a pure natural force, his own desire to survive. But now, another force is growing. It's the power that comes out of his spirit and soul.

How does this energy come into being? Why can it come into being now instead of before? These are things Zhao Mai can't understand. When learning the natural force, he also had similar questions: where does life come from, why there is life, and what is the essence of the force? These questions are just like the mage thinking about the source of magic and the priest pursuing the original intention of God; just like the philosophers on earth constantly asking: ”who am I”, ”where am I from”, ”where am I going”.

There will always be problems, but we can't ignore the reality because of the problems, and we can't stop. The reality is that with the psychic powers, Zhao Mai can better protect himself, at least not so painful under the scorching sun. Moreover, he is also consciously guiding the natural force and psychic powers to start a preliminary cooperation. Both of them have the same purpose. They need to protect Zhao Mai from the severe environment, so there is a basis for cooperation.

The idea of survival is quite strong. Does it come from the body's innate intuition of danger, or from the spiritual and spiritual fear of death? Anyway, Zhao Mai doesn't know. A phenomenon will lead to a series of problems, which will only bring one result in the end, that is, to urge human beings to make progress in the process of continuous exploration.

Whenever the power of the mind increases, unimaginable pleasure lingers in the heart; whenever the natural force increases, his body becomes strong and free. Because of these two feelings, he was able to resist the persecution of desert environment and persist in meditation for a long time.

However, being able to persist does not mean being able to ignore. The meditation is always over, because Zhao Mai needs to drink and eat to make up for his body consumption and avoid death. A strong Druid can use the natural force to stop his aging process; a strong psychic can let the spirit get rid of the bondage of the body and fly freely between heaven and earth. Zhao Mai is too far away from such a realm, but he is marching in that direction step by step.

Similarly, their team is constantly moving towards tyre.
