Chapter 26 Secondary Mental Shock (Please Read On)

After returning to the dormitory, Richard immediately took out the half-burned "Rodrigue Meditation Method" from the drawer of the desk and began to read it carefully.

After a few hours, Richard had basically finished reading the meditation method in his hand.

At first glance, the apprentice stage Rodrigo Meditation Method actually requires seven runes to circulate in one cycle, which is two more runes than the Ignis School Basic Meditation Method mentioned in the official wizard lecture in the public course.

But is the difficulty only this?

No!

The key to the difficulty lies in the last two runes in this meditation method, which are top-level elementary runes with difficulty close to medium runes. For a first-level wizard apprentice, it is extremely difficult to outline them, and it is very difficult for a second-level wizard apprentice to practice.

But every effort pays off. The effect of Rodrigo Meditation Method in the apprentice stage after completing a large cycle is also quite special. After practicing it, in addition to quickly increasing the total amount of mental power during daily meditation, it can also enhance the concentration of mental power, which is something that ordinary meditation methods such as the school's basic meditation method do not have.

In addition to the above special effects, are there any other advantages?

Yes!

When the mental power can flow through all seven runes at once, that is, when the big cycle is successful, a strand of particularly condensed mental power can be automatically produced in the spiritual sea, and a special zero-level witchcraft - [Secondary Mental Shock] is attached.

This is a zero-level spiritual witchcraft that only third-level wizard apprentices with a total mental power of more than 20 standard units are qualified to learn.

Therefore, Ceres's evaluation is very pertinent. This is a meditation method that Richard can use until the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice without changing it, but unfortunately, when Ceres explored the ruins to obtain it, it was already incomplete!

However, from another perspective, if the Rodrigo Meditation Method is complete, then Ceres would never give it to Richard.

Because a meditation method that can directly reach the wizard level is taboo knowledge, no wizard will teach you without paying the corresponding price.

Richard exhaled deeply, his face was stern, and he began to practice the first rune of "Rodriguez Meditation Method".

A figure that looks like "ζ" from the front with a horizontal line in the middle. This figure is not two-dimensional, but three-dimensional. You need to draw the exact shape of this figure in your mind. If it is not accurate, it will quickly dissipate and be very unstable.

After trying several times, Richard failed to successfully draw the first rune in his mind, but all this was within Richard's expectations.

[Discover that the host is practicing Rodrigo Meditation, yes/no to consume energy and get inspiration to practice Rodrigo Meditation? ]

This time, looking at the numbers 1 and 2805 at both ends of the slider, Richard thought for a moment and decided to do something big. Good steel is used on the blade, and now is the blade moment.

He immediately dragged the slider to 805 and selected "Yes!"

Instantly, Richard came to an illusory dream like a soul leaving his body. The scene in this dream was in a deep cave, with several fire pots burning around the cave, and he was attached to a tall figure sitting cross-legged.

Once possessed, Richard and the tall figure were indistinguishable from each other. The first rune was slowly outlined in his mind by his mental power, but soon, it failed.

He tried again, and failed again.

But failure is the mother of success. As the number of failures accumulated, Richard was inspired. Soon, the outline of the first rune in his mind dissipated from the beginning, to more than half, and then to the unstable dissipation after barely finishing the outline, until the last one-time outline was successful!

After hundreds and thousands of attempts, the first rune was quickly outlined by Richard, and he continued to outline the second rune in his mind.

The second rune was after the first rune, and then a three-dimensional pattern similar to "ξ" was outlined in his mind.

But after successfully outlining a rune, it is much more difficult to outline another rune continuously. This is like running 10,000 meters and then running another 10,000 meters immediately.

In other words, the difficulty of outlining two runes in a row is not 1+1=2, but close to 3!

Although the difficulty increased linearly, Richard's progress increased at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye with the blessing of a large amount of inspiration.

Because once he failed, Richard would have a flash of inspiration and immediately find out where the problem was. Then he could learn from experience and avoid previous mistakes the next time he sketched, thus making progress!

Similarly, the second rune disappeared after being outlined halfway, then disappeared after being outlined more than halfway, then completely outlined but the rune was unstable, until the final almost perfect outline!

In this way, repeated trial and error, fortunately in the dream, each failed sketch almost did not consume Richard's mental power. If it were in reality, it would probably consume more than half of his mental power after a few attempts.

After the second rune was successfully sketched, Richard continued to sketch the third rune.

The fourth rune.

The fifth rune.

The sixth rune.

When Richard initially sketched the prototype of the sixth rune, suddenly, the whole person trembled slightly, and his soul returned to his body!

Richard opened his tightly closed eyes and checked the panel. He was delighted and saw the following display in the witchcraft column:

[Witchcraft]: Rodrigo Meditation (83% beginner), Skeleton Control (16% proficient)

Richard was surprised and shocked. He had spent 805 energy points to trigger inspiration, but Rodrigo Meditation was still at the entry level. This had never happened when he was practicing other witchcraft or skills!

"No wonder Master Ceres had such an expression when he heard that I chose Rodrigo Meditation. He must have thought that I didn't know myself!" Richard thought to himself.

Richard once again practiced the meditation method. Since he had already mastered the key points of the first five runes, he moved on to the sixth rune very smoothly.

[Discover that the host is practicing Rodrigo Meditation. Do you consume energy to get inspiration for practicing Rodrigo Meditation? ]

The prompt text appeared again.

After thinking about it carefully, Richard decided to just start the meditation method, considering that he would have a duel in the afternoon. So he dragged the slider to 500 and chose "Yes!"

In an instant, Richard came to the dream cave again, possessed by a tall figure, and began to use his mental power to continue to outline the sixth rune in his mind. .

However, the sixth rune was extremely difficult, and it was indeed a top-level elementary rune with a difficulty close to that of a medium rune. Richard found that he failed more times than the first five runes, but fortunately, after each failure, he would trigger all kinds of inspiration and wonderful ideas.

Finally, the sixth rune was successfully drawn!

Now, only the seventh rune, the last rune, remained undrawn.
