Arcane Lord

"How do you know? There was no high-level mage on the ship just now!" Niya frowned, looking a little confused.

If you only look at the differences between high-level mages and low-level mages, or even ordinary people, it is actually difficult to see the difference.

But from the perspective of demeanor, clothing, accessories, etc., we can still see the clues.

There were indeed mages on the ship just now, but Niya was very sure that there were definitely no high-level mages among those people, perhaps just those sent by the Seventon Chamber of Commerce to talk to the elves.

She told Xia Duo her opinions and judgments, and Xia Duo said with a smile: "You only pay attention to mages, but not ordinary people. Just now I saw Saitos from Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, facing an air Salute, and then take away the air. If it is not a high-level mage, will the average mage always maintain the spell to avoid detection? "

"Um?"

Niya tried hard to recall the disembarkation scene she had just seen from the projection, but she could not recall many details. She could only sigh secretly that the real-time projection information was not saved in time.

She wanted to peek again, but it seemed that the Tower of Time was rude, so Niya could only give up and said: "If it is really a high-level mage, then the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will pay great attention to the Tower of Time!"

"That's right. After all, you are still a student of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Xia Duo is quite open-minded about this. Although the person coming is a high-level mage, the Tower of Time may not have much room for bargaining, but facing a large chamber of commerce like the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, even if it is an ordinary person, Shi It is impossible for the tower to set the conditions too outrageously.

In addition, high-level mage is not a cabbage, he can appear anywhere, and he is also an appraiser. He will definitely have a certain say in the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, which may make the negotiations smoother.

Of course, no matter what the Tower of Time thinks, the people over there are coming, so we can’t let them go back the way they came!

The Tower of Time is now counting on using mass-produced communication tools to bring back a wave of blood!

While Sha Duo and Niya were chatting, news came from the Foreign Affairs Mage of the Tower of Time stationed in the East District, saying that he had received an official visit notice from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

The time is set for the afternoon.

Time is still a little tight? There are only a few hours left? So Sha Duo quickly notified Derrick and Aibo.

Derrick didn't care, he could call him over at any time. But what couldn't be done with Ai Bok? He had to notify him in advance, otherwise if he was busy with something at the last moment, Sha Duo would have to come forward in person.

It's just that Xia Duo can't spend as much money as a professional businessman.

Others, such as Niya, are not good at business; Depak may be good at it, but he is busy adapting to the new status of a high-level mage. He has already said hello and cannot leave.

The only person who can represent the Tower of Time is Eberk. As for letting a mid-level or low-level mage come forward? Sha Duo has never thought about it.

…

After lunch? Sha Duo and Niya returned to the study again, preparing to watch the discussions between Aiboike, Derrick and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

Although you may not be able to see the senior mage from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, you can also get a side view of it through the reactions of others.

And if etiquette is not considered at all, it is feasible to forcefully break through the opponent's avoidance detection spell. After all, how can an outside mage enter the Tower of Time to compete with the Tower of Time!

At this time, there was still a while before the discussion. Niya took out a book to read, while Xia Duo made a cup of tea for both of them, and then began to close their eyes and rest.

Of course, this is just an appearance? In fact, Xia Duo is also "reading".

Memory retrieval is indeed very useful, but if you use it too much, Xia Duo discovered that there is still a very short process involved. In other words, these memories seem to be completely remembered by him with "photographic memory", but in fact they are still Not entirely his.

Similar to an external database, whenever Xia Duo wants to find some information, the first step is always to search for relevant records and load them into the current consciousness before processing them.

It is conceivable that as he receives more and more memories, the search and loading process will become more and more time-consuming, so he must be able to directly process the memories.

Similar to integrating memory directly into the management of the processing system of consciousness.

Xia Duo is currently developing this aspect from two aspects at the same time. On the one hand, almost whenever he has free time, he will trace his memory and convert the memory that was originally similar to an external database into "in-memory memory".

On the other hand, the external database is just a metaphor after all. Those memories are still stored in his brain or soul, and his consciousness can definitely be processed directly.

So he picked up the [Meditation Training] that he had left behind after he advanced to Arcanist.

The "Imperial Meditation Method·Third Edition" obtained from [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire] played an important role in promoting Sha Duo's advancement as an arcanist in the past.

Although it is not impossible to advance without meditation, the time saved cannot be ignored.

The so-called meditation is actually a "weak spell-casting state" used to regularize and order the caster's subconscious mind to achieve the effect of improving concentration.

At the same time, it also has an effect that is difficult to achieve with other concentration training, which is to increase the lower limit of concentration.

Sha Duo speculated that the ultimate achievement of [Meditation] is to integrate the subconscious and the conscious mind, which is equivalent to an upgrade of consciousness. Perhaps by then his consciousness will be able to cover all memories, instead of having to go through a retroactive process when using it.

Moreover, with the experience of memory tracing, Shado even speculated that once someone can integrate the subconscious and conscious mind, he will also have the ability to trace memories.

And this ability is even stronger than retrospective memory. That is the true photographic memory!

Xia Duo's current memory recall is only equivalent to a low-end version, an ability to experience in advance brought by the new soul state. Of course, it will continue to be upgraded in the future.

It doesn’t take much effort to do both at the same time. It doesn’t require any special state to recall memories from time to time. It’s just a matter of using the time between resting, dazing, drinking tea, and walking to recall. It’s almost a perfect fit and makes full use of free time. pole.

As for [Meditation], he only performed it once after waking up, and only once. The impact on his daily life was minimal and almost unnoticeable.

…

Now what Sha Duo is recalling is his experience in [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire]. After all, he still cannot fully control all memories. There may be some key information that he has overlooked.

In recent times, in addition to revising and improving the "Principles" book, learning the relevant knowledge of plane scholars, and conducting plane exploration, what he has done most is to trace past memories.

Through repeated tracing, he did find a lot of information that had been ignored in the past, such as a conversation between passers-by on the street in the memory of the earth, a fleeting page when browsing the web, or a library The content of the book pages that you flip through at random.

Maybe he didn't hear, see, or even realize it at all at that time, so there would be almost no trace left in Xia Duo's subsequent memories. There is no such concept at all, and there is definitely no way to trace it back. .

Only by revisiting the past can we discover the overlooked information.

The only pity is that the memory on earth cannot be completely traced back. For example, some web pages that trace the past are blurry, but some can be seen clearly.

It's as if his memories on earth have solidified from the moment he traveled across time. Maybe he can only make a breakthrough after truly integrating his latent and explicit consciousness.
