Chapter 26: Mage's Armor

"The idea of ​​meditation has an extremely important position in the plane of the wizard in ancient times. As we all know, spiritual power is the power of the soul, and the soul is the foundation of most wizards carrying magic power. In that era, due to the fierce internal fighting of the wizards, there was almost no knowledge As it progresses, magic can't even talk about innovation. The power of magic often depends on the total amount of the wizard's spiritual power, so meditation has become the core secret of every wizard."
James lowered his head and glanced at the information, and then said: "In ancient times, a kind of meditation was a school of wizards. The wizards carefully practiced according to the meditation ideas. Very few people tried to innovate. This also caused the ancient wizards to be extremely weak. , If you divide it according to the standards at that time, I am already an official mage."
"In the civilized era, this situation has changed drastically. The old and backward meditation ideas were completely overthrown. When the masters tried to innovate and were good at innovating, the meditation ideas played down the genre. Everyone’s meditation ideas almost All are different."
　　 James took out the substantive content after the introduction, he tapped on the podium, a light rose, and there was no energy fluctuation in it. It should be an alchemy product similar to a 3D projector.
　　 As expected, a group of nine runes appeared in the light.
　　James stepped aside, pointed to the first one in the rune group and said to the apprentices: "Before you came to the academy, you should have successfully constructed a mental strength curing rune, and that's it."
　　 The apprentices all nodded.
"It, together with the other eight runes, form the foundation of all current thoughts on the plane of the wizard. The holy tower of the first element is free and open to all wizards. Prometheus True Spirit Archmage created it during the apprenticeship stage. The strongest meditation thought."
　　 James manipulates the light curtain, and the nine runes are combined in order, changing from a single plane structure to a slightly complicated three-dimensional structure, which looks a bit like a sheet of armor?
"The current name of this set of meditations is the basic meditations, but it had another name before-Prometheus's Mage Armor. Its function is to build a set of armor outside of the soul, and every time it successfully builds a complete After the rune group, you can add a page of nails. When the nails completely envelop the soul, this set of meditation ideas is initially completed. The next practice is to make the nails more and more dense, and more and more natural. This kind of practice has no limits, regardless of level, and even the true spirit masters are still continuing."
　　 "The biggest benefit of the basic meditation idea is compatibility. When you accumulate more and more knowledge and have your own unique mental power solidification rune group, you can transform it without any adverse reactions."
"Because of the age of time, its main function now is to familiarize apprentices with rune construction. But don't underestimate it. The reason why the mages can resist the pressure of time and space shuttle and the rejection of the will of the alien world to carry out plane wars. So it’s not as afraid of curses as in ancient times because of the invention of the basic meditation. No matter what kind of knowledge you use in the future to create your own meditation, you must follow its thinking to form a wizard's armor."
　　 "It can be said that the armor of the master is the cornerstone of the civilization of the wizard."
Adam kept the shape of these nine runes firmly in mind. He couldn't help but admire the inventor of this meditation, the Archmage Prometheus True Spirit. He pioneered the path of civilization among the blue wisps and barbaric ignorance. What a great wisdom.
James paused briefly, waiting for the apprentices to digest the information just now, and then spoke again after ten minutes: "The rune knowledge course for the first year is mainly to guide you to build your own meditation ideas. I will not provide you with directions. There is no homework. If there is a problem with the rune you built, you can choose to consult me. Of course, I will at most give you some help in terms of stability."
　　 "Each of you has the opportunity to apply for guidance for free once a month, which means that you will be charged if you apply for multiple times."
　　 James finally said: "There is only one rune knowledge course per week, but the optical projection will remain here, do you have any application for separate instruction?"
　　 James just asked about it as usual. He didn't think there would be any problems with this group of rookies who were mostly new to the idea of ​​Mage's Armor.
However, Adam is no longer among them. Just in the process of listening to the class, he has successfully constructed a few pages of "A film" perfectly. He is now very interested in another important message in James’ words, so he did not hesitate. I used the only free consultation opportunity this month.
　　 "I apply for separate guidance, Mr. James." Adam stood up and said.
　　 "Are you sure?" James looked at Adam suspiciously. He thought that Adam was really sensational. He hadn't even tried the most basic constructions. What's the problem?
　　 It's not just James, almost everyone thinks so. They made a strange noise of disdain and looked at Adam contemptuously.
　　 Several people on the desert island whispered, Randy said to everyone: "Look, life on the boat makes him arrogant and stupid, and sooner or later he will pay for it."
　　Ophelia frowned. Although she and Adam had disagreements, she had known each other for a long time and came to the Mage Mainland together. She didn't want Adam to ruin her future because of her arrogance.
　　Perhaps the only person present who believes that Adam really has a question to ask is Kristel. She talked to the companions who were sitting together, but after all, she said nothing.
　　 "Yes, I'm sure." Adam ignored all the discussion and said to James.
"Well, you come with me." James has no reason to refuse. The teaching is a task he has taken. After a year, he can get a fairly generous payment, and he has a lot of questions in teaching. The collision of thoughts among his apprentices is also of great benefit to his own mage path.
"Of course, except for stupid questions." James thought in his heart. He made up his mind. If Adam asked any stupid question, he would publish it to the public, not to humiliate Adam, but to hope other apprentices would not Feel free to waste his time.
Leaving the classroom, Adam followed James to another building where James had his own laboratory. After the two entered, James motioned Adam to sit down at will, and then asked: "So, now You can tell me your problem."
　　 Master’s time is precious. There is very little extra nonsense in the communication. This is also the same as Adam’s style, so he has no politeness and directly said: "What is the use of your own knowledge to construct a meditation idea?"
　　 James said unexpectedly: "This question is not stupid, but it is not something you have to understand at this stage. You must know that you have not even successfully constructed a basic meditation idea."
　　 Adam knows that any explanation is not as intuitive as action, so he directly penetrated his mental power, constructed a complete page of nails, and put it into his body.
Now James was shocked. It was not as easy as Adam’s performance to substantive mental power and construct rune groups outside of the body. This is something that even many senior apprentices who are not excellent in mental power cannot do. But now there is actually a rookie who did such a thing in front of him?
　　 He jumped up from his seat all of a sudden, stared at Adam and asked, "How long did it take you to fill the crystal ball during the aptitude test? Have a tendency to reveal your soul?"
　　 Adam didn't know what he meant by asking this, but Adam felt the urgency in James' words, but this was not something worth keeping secret, Adam didn't mean to hide it.
　　 Before Adam could say anything, James patted his forehead and then turned and walked towards another room. Then he walked back quickly with a crystal ball in his hand: "Come on, try it!"
　　 Adam didn’t know why he didn’t say anything. James explained,
Don’t worry, it’s not bad for you, it might be good for you. Try it, just like you did.

　　 Adam did not doubt James, and in accordance with the basic principles of openness and fairness of the wizards ~EbookFREE.me~ and the unexpected adherence to the spirit of the contract, he believed that James would not harm him.
　　 Adam put his hands on the crystal ball. Unlike during the aptitude test, this crystal ball does not require him to actively input mental power, but generates a weak suction force that introduces mental power into it.
　　 still lit up instantly, and the light was even more dazzling than it was then. Adam noticed that there was a numerical display on the surface of the crystal ball, continuously climbing, and finally staying at 100+.
　　 James' gaze kept sweeping between Adam and the crystal ball, and his mouth excitedly said: "Okay, you can stop, it's amazing, it's amazing!"
　　 Adam let go, then said, "Mr. James, this is?"
James came back to his senses and looked at Adam as if he was looking at a rare treasure. He said in a slightly sharp tone: "100+, my God, I can't believe it, do you know what this means? ?"
　　 Adam was very calm: "Sir, obviously I don't know."
James picked up the crystal ball: "This thing is an advanced product of the talent tester. Its function is to accurately observe the total amount of mental power. The value of each unit represents the initial mental power of an apprentice with the most basic mage qualifications. In total, its detection limit is one hundred, my God, praise all the great true spirit mages, praise the world of mages, you actually have an initial mental power that exceeds its upper limit! It's incredible!"
Adam was not surprised after hearing James’ introduction. If mental power is the power of the soul, then he had wiped out 10 billion souls before, even if the quality of each soul is far from being comparable to human beings in the wizard world. , Even if only a tiny bit that is too weak to calculate is absorbed by him, after multiplying by the value of tens of billions, it will accumulate into an astonishing total.
