Chapter 188 (1/2)
No color, monotony, nothingness, and blank.
After Ayn Rand guided him to complete his meditation for the first time, Loren experienced this strange feeling again, as if all the messages around him had been transformed into simple messages and symbols. It was clear that there was darkness in front of him, but he could still ”see” and feel it.
The process of building the magic array is similar to rebuilding one's own spiritual Palace - this time, it is not spiritual consciousness, but in the real world, guiding the forces of the void to ”distort” the surroundings and fabricate a ”range” that should not exist at all.
It was already late at night outside. Only the cold moonlight penetrated into the room through the gap of the window. The sea breeze of the port was whistling outside the window, howling like a fierce ghost, and fleeting.
Standing in the middle of the room, Loren closed his eyes and gently raised his left hand. The dark ”caster” was invisible in the dimly lit room. He could only vaguely see the red lines above.
Loren has never used it since he came to eboden. After all, the ”caster” is almost the symbol of the night watchman - but the black haired wizard is more familiar with it than the ”tree heart” given to him by the small wizard.
The torrent of consciousness surged back and forth at the two levels of the spiritual palace and the body. The black haired wizard slowly opened his eyes to calm his restless heart. In the face of emptiness, any negligence and excitement may kill yourself.
A good swimmer must be careful even if he drowns a thousand times. With consistent patience, Loren gently opened his left hand, and a faint blue Rune appeared in the middle of his palm.
The next moment, the runes dropped like drops of water and opened ”ripples” at Loren's feet. The liquid emitting gray and blue light slowly condensed into the pattern of nine awn star as if it had life.
Choosing the nine pointed star as the magic array is not accidental. Just like the nine pointed star wizard tower, it is not just because it is beautiful or has any special hobbies that it takes it as the symbol of a wizard.
”Nine” is the limit of change. The nine awned star composed of three triangles implies endless changes and dynamics. It is indescribable, indescribable, unexplainable and unexplainable. This is the essence of emptiness.
The circle around the nine pointed star represents the existence of ”matter” - not a linear advance, but an alternation of rings. Everything has its time, and the revival and decline are the same again and again.
Therefore, the nine mans chart itself is the perfect interpretation of the existence of ”Wizard”, which connects spirit and material, and applies knowledge and power to itself.
Here, Loren made a ”small” change to the nine pointed star. In short, a second ring was added outside the original nine pointed star ring, making the whole pattern seem to be set in the center by a hollow circle.
The dark haired wizard gently recited the obscure spell, and the complex runes were like lit candles. One by one, they appeared in the center of the two-layer ring, and the void power turned into gray blue light gradually condensed, and even could clearly feel the rhythm.
”Turin fire --!”
The golden red flame gushed from the nine awned star under his feet, gathered in his palm like a flowing liquid, condensed into the shape of a fireball, and then the gray blue magic array disappeared.
HMM... this casting method can really greatly reduce the erosion of void on the body, and the consumption of energy has not increased significantly. At the same time, it has improved the power of high-level magic spells. The only regret may be that the casting time is a little long.
However, as long as you use it skillfully, it's not a problem to shorten the time - more importantly, this new way can directly use those high-level spells you haven't memorized, which is a great blessing for the caster! This is really
”I have a little question.”
The boy who was always watching suddenly tilted his head in confusion, his right hand on his chin, and his Ruby like eyes blinked: ”Why are there two rings, just to put the condensed spell in it?”
”This is... A small change for me.” Lauren said ”tut tut” disapprovingly and shrugged his shoulders: ”you should know that human beings are different from you. A certain degree of rules can ensure that our rationality will not be eroded by emptiness...”
”My dear Lauren, don't explain.” the boy suddenly looked at him with very ”compassionate” eyes: ”you just had an obsessive-compulsive disorder, didn't you?”
“……”
”Or is it a special hobby that makes you excited to see something regular?”
”... well, this is obsessive-compulsive disorder.”
