Lost Narrative Poetry

Soft voice technique.

Like other spell scrolls purchased by Xia Ran, they all come from the magic in a very classic game "The Elder Scrolls 5". Although they are the most basic entry-level spells, they are classified as illusions.

Xia Ran was deeply impressed by this, because this game exists in the real dimension. Although it is an old game many years ago, from today's perspective, there are many shortcomings.

But after all, it is a precious memory of his past, and it was indeed very popular back then. As soon as it was released, "Paladin, Paladin, let his blood and soul scatter on the ground! What is pain? What is difficulty? Throw it into the sea and rivers!" The song was all the rage.

To this day, Xia Ran still remembers how much energy he put into that game, but because he really has no talent in the game, he has always been a genre that uses the most powerful violence and is boring.

It can be said that illusion and stealth are almost mandatory, so he naturally remembers the significance of the soft voice technique for the introduction to the illusion system.

However, that is the setting of the game after all, and it is not clear whether it can still be based on strategy experience in reality. Even though the power of the laws of white space ensures the versatility of related spell abilities, it is impossible to copy even the game mechanics.

Although it is the most basic entry-level magic, it is still magic after all. It is an extraordinary skill and is no longer an ordinary skill at the mortal level. Therefore, Xia Ran spent more time learning this time than before.

By the time the skill scroll recording the soft voice technique suddenly shattered, scattered into a blur of light particles, and disappeared, it was already early morning.

Xia Ran sat in front of the desk and stayed for a while, then shook his head. The next moment, he suddenly felt waves of dizziness coming from his brain, but this feeling came and went away quickly.

Only then did he realize that he had been studying attentively for more than three hours. During this period, his concentration was highly concentrated and tightly tense, and he never relaxed for even a second.

"It's really profound..." He muttered and raised his fingers to rub the center of his eyebrows. It took a while before he felt that the bulging feeling caused by receiving a large amount of information in a short period of time was relieved.

Because of the impression left by the game, he certainly knew that the so-called illusion system was not a blind trick in a simple sense, nor was it a trick such as performing magic, but magic that could affect the target's sensory thinking and spiritual mind.

The specific application seems to be to control or harm the target object through forced orders, demoralization, silence or paralysis, or to improve the target's fighting spirit and make the target calm or united.

Illusion can also give the target subject substantial abilities such as invisibility, night vision, translucency... and so on.

Or to put it more simply, it's like the soft voice technique that he has just acquired and mastered——

Its effect is to eliminate the sound caused by the user's own movements.

Of course, you can also put it in another well-founded way. It does not eliminate the voice of the caster, but affects the mental thinking of everyone around him, including the caster himself, making them unable to hear the voice.

So, in theory, this should be a principle mechanism that directly affects the spiritual level and interferes with others? Moreover, the usage requirements of the skill scrolls he purchased first required mental attributes, followed by intelligence attributes and perception attributes.

The requirements for the former generally reach more than 10 points, and different spells have different deviations, but the requirements for the latter two only require a standard value of no less than 5 points.

This can also prove that illusion magic is a spiritual ability in a broad sense.

However, according to what Xia Ran just learned, a more accurate explanation is that illusion can change the world around the caster and interfere with certain physical laws. This system is sometimes confused with the change system. The main reason is that both systems interfere with the original nature of things. of rules.

However, the illusion system is not bound to the laws of nature like the change system. The power of the change system comes from nature, and its effects also exist from the perspective of the objective world. However, the illusion system is only effective on the caster and the target. It can change the visibility of the target, generate or erase light, generate or erase sound...

Etc., etc.

"By manipulating light, everything that the light hits is affected, because "light" itself is the purest magical energy, and it is also an existence equivalent to the soul... Therefore, with the development of this kind of knowledge, illusions can not only affect the senses of the subject , and can also directly affect the mind of the affected person by distorting the soul receiving end..."

Talking to himself about the magic theory he had just learned, Xia Ran felt like he had some understanding, but seemed to not understand it at all.

But this is normal. He has just started to learn illusion magic, so he doesn't need to force it too much. It doesn't matter if he knows it but doesn't know why. After all, it is like a baby that has just started to grow. It should be at the stage of just learning to "crawl".

There is still a gap between "standing" and "running" or even "flying".

Xia Ran didn't think too much. Xia Ran was very self-aware and just took out the next skill scroll... Just when he was about to calm down and read, he found that it might be that his mind was too consumed before, and it is difficult to concentrate now. Time is concentrated.

He had no choice but to continue to practice meditation, tempering his spiritual essence and restoring his mental state at the same time. He planned to cycle like this and learn another illusion magic near the early morning...and then wait until tomorrow night to continue. If so, it would take three days. I can finish learning everything.

Even through the acquisition of skill scrolls, it is like using causal crystals to lock the future. The relevant abilities will directly reach the level of mastery once mastered, but the process itself is also time-consuming.

After all, no matter how you put it, it is already the threshold of magic, involving a larger amount of profound theoretical knowledge, which is very mysterious and wonderful.

Even if it was a low-level entry-level magic, it would take more than three hours to learn one. Xia Ran felt that he had better seize the time. The remaining four skill scrolls added together would take at least twelve hours.

Moreover, he couldn't spend half a day in one breath, and his mental state didn't allow it, so he could only divide it up and arrange it this way.

Different from the soft voice spell, the remaining four illusion magics are more advanced. They not only affect the senses of the subject, but also can affect the mind. They can make people violent or calm, improve or eliminate the target's fighting spirit... …

Depending on the magic, the effects vary.

Courage can make the most cowardly coward stand up and join the battle; Fear can break the courage of strong warriors; Anger can arouse the irritability deep in the enemy's heart, drastically reduce their endurance, and even make enemies fight among themselves. Fight.

The calming technique can greatly reduce the target's aggression, allowing it to think more calmly and rationally, and not be easily blinded by negative emotions such as anger, hatred, and violence.

It can be said that although these four illusion magics are basic, if used well, they can cope with most situations and enemies.

——As long as his mental power is strong enough compared to the target object he wants to influence, or he does not encounter non-biological enemies like robots without mental thinking.

Taking into account the rules and regulations of the white space, perhaps in the world of the alien dimension that he can currently enter, he can really walk sideways.

It is worth mentioning that, obviously, they are all illusion magic that affects thinking and emotions. The learning requirements of Calmness are the highest compared to the other three. It seems to induce strong emotions, which is better than letting people escape from strong emotions. Exiting is much easier.

But after thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was indeed true——

Even if you don't use illusion magic, a mysterious power that begins to be otherworldly, it is easy to anger a person and make him crazy, but for a person who is furious and crazy, it is very difficult to calm him down.

…

…

When she walked out of the house the next day, Xia Ran stretched hard and felt in a good mood.

It seems that after a night of repeated consumption, recovery and tempering, the mental power has finally grown. Although the mental attributes themselves have not increased, the growth coefficient has increased a bit -

Because White Space did not digitize the values ​​in this area, he could not see his health bar or his blue bar, but he knew that the upper limit of mental power was higher than before.

Well, it shouldn’t be considered a blue bar, right? The real blue bar should be special energy like "spiritual power" and "magic power" that have been further refined and transformed.

But that's it for the time being. The most important thing is that Xia Ran feels that she has found the right way to exercise. Maybe improving your mental power is like building your body. It doesn't mean you are at your best when you are at full strength, but you need to constantly consume and recover, and the cycle repeats.

Muscles are also in constant use. Through repeated muscle strength exercises, muscle volume increases and muscle strength is enhanced. And if you haven't put in much effort, then you definitely won't be promoted for no reason.

In order to verify this truth, Xia Ran planned to maintain the release of the soft voice technique as much as possible today - practicing illusions and tempering mental power can be done simultaneously in a certain sense without wasting time.

Not long after leaving the house, Xia Ran discovered... using extraordinary spells is really a wonderful feeling.

No matter whether it is walking, running or one's own breathing, it is completely inaudible and has been eliminated by the soft sound technique...

Even though in theory the so-called sound cancellation is just an artificial illusion, the effect is the same. However, through experiments, he also discovered the limitations of this illusion magic, or rather his own limitations.

That is, the range of effect currently seems to be only forty or fifty meters.

If the sound he makes cannot be heard forty or fifty meters away, then it is perfect. People within the range of the soft sound spell ignore the sound, and people outside the range cannot hear the sound.

But if the sound is louder, it will cause an embarrassing contradiction. People close by do not hear the sound, but people far away hear it...

——Of course, maybe in some situations, this characteristic is actually very useful, such as pretending to be a ghost or something.
