Chapter 47 Meditation Rune Construction and Brainstorming

The weekend is here.

Two days of rest are extremely important for the new recruits who have just finished a highly intense practical exam.

For Link, whether he rests or not is irrelevant.

As long as the body is not tired, mental/psychological fatigue can be regulated by using "brain lockout technique".

On Saturday morning, unusually, he didn't go directly to the library to study, but instead went to the student services building to look for equipment as planned.

Enrique's self-destructing fire bomb inspired Link.

The nature of a gentleman is not different, and he is good at things.

Since he could think of buying a magic-breaking crossbow for self-defense, why didn't he think of buying a few high-burst weapons similar to self-destructing fire grenades when he bought a vest, boots, and cloak after obtaining magic stones?

It is powerful, portable, and easy to use.

What a perfect offensive weapon!

Perhaps the long periods of peaceful life in his two lifetimes unconsciously reduced his aggression.

They only thought about concealment, retreat, and defense, forgetting that offense is the best defense.

If we just kill all the enemies, won't everything be fine?

Killing Enrique had a huge impact on Link's mentality.

A door was pushed open.

After searching for a long time, Link finally spent seven standard level one magic stones.

Two self-destructing fire grenades cost four magic stones;

A net gun, costing one and a half magic stones, can fire a capture net with a diameter of three meters. The net has a magic-suppressing function, which can temporarily suppress magical activity within the coverage area.

Three incendiary bombs, costing one and a half magic stones, can generate magical flames that ignite extraordinary plants, regardless of whether they are dry or wet.

Self-destructing fire mines are used for firepower output, net guns provide control, and incendiary grenades clear the field for large-scale attacks.

The combination isn't perfect, given the limited funds.

Adjustments may be made as needed.

Back in his dorm, Link devised several plans for using his abilities and equipment in different scenarios and practiced them one by one.

Throughout the process, we repeatedly scrutinized the details and made continuous adjustments in an effort to perfect the product.

After much effort, Link finally had a general idea of ​​what was going on and stopped.

After a short rest, with nothing else to do, Link began to ponder the third level of the "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method".

As an apprentice-level meditation method suitable for those with affinity to both the water and wood elements, the "Water-Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method" is divided into four levels, progressing step by step.

Upon completing the first level, one is promoted from a mortal to a first-class wizard apprentice, and the meditation rune structure is an equilateral triangle.

Upon completing the second level, one will be promoted from a first-class wizard apprentice to a second-class wizard apprentice. The meditation rune structure is a hexagon with its circumcircle.

A hexagon is composed of two equilateral triangles that are upside down.

Upon completing the third level, one will be promoted from a second-class wizard apprentice to a third-class wizard apprentice.

Once the fourth level is reached, one can imprint their innate witchcraft in their sea of ​​consciousness and complete a life leap, thus advancing from a third-class witchcraft apprentice to a formal witchcraft master (first-class witchcraft master).

Linke meditates daily using the second level of meditation to increase and refine his mental strength in preparation for practicing the third level.

The third level of meditation requires the construction of nine runes, which is much more difficult than the first and second levels.

Of the nine runes, six are located at the six intersections of an equilateral triangle.

左边三个交点从上到下，标记为左1、左2、左3，右边三个交点标记为右1、右2、右3。

The rune located 1st from the left is the elemental rune "Water Element Convergence", the rune located 2nd from the left is the elemental rune "Water Element Amplification", and the rune located 3rd from the left is the elemental rune "Water Element Purity".

The rune on the right is the elemental rune "Wood Element Convergence", the rune on the right is the elemental rune "Wood Element Amplification", and the rune on the right is the elemental rune "Wood Element Extraction".

The other three runes are located on a straight line perpendicular to the center of the hexagon's circumcircle.

From highest to lowest, they are labeled as Rune A, Rune B, and Rune C.

Rune B is located at the center of the circumcircle of the hexagon. It is the will rune "Sublimation". Its function is to improve the quality of spiritual power, similar to turning frivolous energy into light energy, or turning iron into steel/alloy.

The distance between Rune A and Rune B is equal to the radius of the circumcircle of the hexagon, which is the "derivation" of the Will Rune.

The distance between Rune C and Rune B is also equal to the radius of the circumcircle of the hexagon, which is the "refinement" of the Will Rune.

Once all nine runes were successfully constructed, the third level of the "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method" was completed.

Of these nine runes, only the "Water Element Amplification", "Wood Element Amplification", and the Will Rune "Sublimation" are unfamiliar.

Link had an idea: could he use the construction method of the sorcery model to familiarize himself with the structure of these three runes in advance, and then directly construct the runes once his mental power had grown sufficiently, saving time?

Considering the importance of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, Link did not dare to try it casually.

He took out his personal smart device and first searched for relevant clues on the "forum".

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

Link then left the dormitory and went to the library.

In the reading room.

Link used his personal AI to access the advanced literature database and look up relevant literature on meditation techniques.

The wizarding world has a long history, and the Rivosos Biological and Medical Academy was established nearly 1800 years ago. Its exploration of meditation has never stopped, and it has yielded numerous results.

Link's idea was similar to that of many predecessors who had conducted various experiments.

Aside from some documents that only had a table of contents and no text available, Link carefully read all the other documents that were related to that idea.

The harvest was enormous!

While elemental runes are common to both meditation and sorcery models, their construction methods differ fundamentally when meditating and casting spells (constructing sorcery models).

As is well known, meditation is divided into two types: deep meditation and shallow meditation.

Shallow meditation can only restore consumed mental and magical energy, but it has no effect on increasing or refining mental and magical energy.

Deep meditation is the only harmless way for wizard apprentices/wizards to increase and hone their mental and magical abilities.

What makes it special is that when a wizard apprentice/wizard enters a deep meditation, the "dazed and confused" state that is extremely unique, is when the formless and intangible spiritual power is most concentrated.

The sea of ​​consciousness is likened to a stone tablet, and the runes to calligraphy and paintings.

So,

Deep meditation is like carving, permanently etching words and images onto a stone tablet.

Shallow meditation is like copying, smearing or tracing the marks and lines on a stone tablet.

The technique involves writing on a stone tablet with a brush dipped in water; once the water dries, the writing disappears.

Link could have easily used the construction method of the sorcery model to familiarize himself with the structure of the three unfamiliar runes in advance.

Based on this, Link recalled his idea of ​​further developing and utilizing his unique sea of ​​consciousness. (See Chapter 20)

Could he leave the magic model beneath the lake's surface, and then move it to the surface when needed to perform the spell, thus completing the transformation between reality and illusion?

Just like words can be written or printed.

This allows you to unleash skills while playing the game.

It can be used with a simple click, without the need to build a witchcraft model on the spot.

"This has potential!"

Link became more and more excited as he thought about it.

If he succeeds, wouldn't he be able to have several more pseudo-natal spells than others?
