Arcane Lord

In layman's terms, Shado provides Atwood with knowledge about magic, thereby affecting his cognition, and then checks the new natural response through the spiritual link.

Compare the difference between the two before and after to judge the impact of personal cognition on perceived feedback.

In order to reduce variables as much as possible, this kind of thing must not be known to Atwood, so Shado really treated this matter as urging the other party to learn magic.

Of course, experiments can’t be forgotten either.

"Elder Atwood, you have been studying magic these past few days and haven't you forgotten about the Druid thing?"

"Sir, how could it be possible? However, if you want to truly perceive the Holy Power, you may need a little luck. This is not something I can control. I only study magic in my spare time."

"That's good. I also want to experience the natural response again. Can Elder Atwood give me this convenience?"

"No problem, please cast spells as you like, sir!"

There had been a shared perception before, and there were no problems. This time, Atwood agreed very readily.

Upon seeing this, Xia Duo no longer delayed, and immediately used [Psychic Link] to link the two people again, and then a steady stream of consciousness information from others began to emerge.

In this regard, Xia Duo did not make a specific distinction, but made a vague perception as a whole. To be honest, Xia Duo was already somewhat resistant to prying into other people's psychological states.

Although it seems quite harmless, and he can regulate his consciousness during daily meditation, the behavior itself is very addictive.

The desire for voyeurism is indeed a human instinct, but if you do not restrain yourself and instead indulge in addiction, you may not have any good results. Naturally, you need to avoid it in advance as much as possible.

Of course, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is also a consideration.

Therefore, except when it is really necessary, Xia Duo will not use magic to actively pry into other people's specific thoughts and psychology.

As for what you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, or what you passively guess or infer through other perceptions, then treat it as something that others actively displayed and has nothing to do with you.

Now, although Atwood has no awareness of confidentiality regarding the spiritual link, Shado doesn't want to pry too much. He just immerses himself in his subconscious and lets his subconscious analyze it automatically.

Wait until a natural response appears, then take the initiative to check.

Having had previous experiences, Xia Duo waited with peace of mind. It wasn't until a huge surge of consciousness information suddenly poured in that he really took action.

The last time the two shared perceptions, the information fed back to Atwood by natural will has been preserved in Shado's memory.

This so-called natural response is actually Atwood’s entire understanding of nature in the [New Natural Concept], or more directly, Atwood’s worldview.

Although I don't know what the specific feedback mechanism is, it doesn't prevent Xia Duo from conducting some simple experiments on this.

If you want to influence a person's worldview, you naturally have to show him something real, or at least make him think it is real.

The core of the worldview is of course the nature of the world, including various origins and various laws, but Shado himself has not been able to figure it out yet, so how can he convince Atwood!

Forcible persuasion is counterproductive.

The fastest way that Shado can think of is magic. As long as Atwood learns magic, he will naturally accept the knowledge related to magic.

This method works even better when Atwood knows almost nothing about magic before!

Because, to a large extent, this is not a change, but a filling!

Therefore, during this sharing of perception, Shado focused on checking Atwood's knowledge of magic. It was difficult for other knowledge to change in a short period of time.

——Magic, magic network, world!

This time, the natural response really had more content. Compared with the vague knowledge of magic in the past, this time it almost copied the entire content of Chateau's "Principles" book.

This made Xia Duo feel very familiar and made the inspection more convenient!

…

Taking a deep breath, Xia Duo disconnected the link with a shocked look on his face, but the relevant memory would not disappear. At this moment, his mind still maintained the information he was just checking.

The information was so amazing that it gave him an unreal feeling again, but that feeling quickly disappeared. Xia Duo knew that he had probably come up with something amazing!

While he was thinking about the information just now, and thinking about the impact this matter would have, he glanced at Atwood who was still kneeling on one knee in front of the desk, and Shado immediately woke him up.

"Elder Atwood, I have sensed it, you can leave!"

"yes!"

Atwood said nothing more, bowed, and left quickly.

…

The study room with only one person left suddenly became quiet and seemed a little deserted, but in Xia Duo's heart, it was not peaceful at all.

The natural response just obtained through Atwood's shared perception does include the knowledge about magic from the "Principles" book, but——

When seeing those contents, Xia Duo felt that it was based on "Principles" but higher than "Principles"!

In addition, there is a more macroscopic view, similar to a comprehensive perception of the entire Magic Network system when exposed to the deeper layers of the Magic Network.

If we say the former, it is also possible that Atwood's extraordinary talent has supplemented and surpassed the understanding of magic in the "Principles" book.

What about the one at the back?

Does Atwood still have a comprehensive perception of the entire Magic Network system in his worldview?

It’s impossible even if you think about it!

Even a mage can only take a peek at the deeper levels of the magic network in a very short time. How can Atwood, a former druid, have such a permanent state of perception?

Then we have to introduce a conjecture, that is -

It is very likely that when it comes to certain facts that are very close to reality, natural will will correct and compensate for the believer's cognition to a certain extent when giving sensory feedback to the believer.

If this speculation is true, it would be amazing.

That means that Shaduo can collect deep information about the entire magic network system at the macro level by sharing the perception of the natural druid.

This information may not be available in a short period of time, but in the long run, it is of extremely far-reaching significance for understanding the nature of the magic network.

You must know that the arcanist's arcane fire is a convergent and curled-up miniature magic network. If you can use that information to actively adjust your own micro magic network, it may play a huge role in promoting the growth of the micro magic network.

Of course, this is just a speculation by Xia Duo.

But even if it cannot be applied to your own miniature magic network, knowing more information about the nature of the magic network will help establish a more complete magical world view.

In this world, the Magic Network is the source of all magic. Knowing more about the Magic Network will only be beneficial, not harmful.
