Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 20 Starry Sky Meditation Method

Herag suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Deep Blue, is there any magic in the pocket watch?"

"4% magic power is present, as indicated. Absorb?"

He was puzzled: "I remember absorbing the magic from the pocket watch, so why is there 4% left now?"

After the deep blue mark was activated, Hellagur saw countless small blue dots on the base of the pocket watch, and these dots were constantly changing and flashing.

"Deep Blue, record all the changes at these points and see if there are any patterns."

"Recording..."

Herag observed for a long time. There were a total of 1000 dots on the chassis. Each time it flashed, some dots had magic power and some did not, which formed a dot matrix pattern that was different each time.

"This must contain some hidden message..."

People from this world might find it hard to understand how information could be expressed in this way. But Hrag is highly educated; he studied computer cryptography in college.

An hour later.

"Dot matrix information has been recorded. There are 1000 dots and 1000 dot matrix patterns."

Deep Blue recorded every different dot pattern in its entirety. After these thousand dot patterns flashed once, they started flashing again from the first one.

In Hrag's field of vision, a thousand different dot patterns were arranged in sequence before him.

He observed these patterns, pondering, "What's the pattern...?"

"Deep Blue uses the rule of even numbers eliminating odd numbers to overlap these raster patterns."

The so-called "even disappears, odd does not disappear" means that all these dot grids are superimposed, and the number of magical dots on each dot is either even or odd.

If the number is even, the point is removed; if the number is odd, the point is retained. This will result in the final dot matrix image.

"Bitmap processing is complete." DeepBlue displayed the processed and synthesized bitmap.

Herag observed for a moment, then said, "Dark Blue, can these points form a single stroke?"

"Okay, draw it in one stroke as follows." Deep Blue demonstrated with an animation how to connect these points in one stroke.

"I understand, Deep Blue. Control the magic within me to connect the dots in the pocket watch along this one-stroke route."

Hellagur doesn't yet know how to use the magic within him, so he has to rely on Deep Blue to do it for him.

Deep Blue controlled the magic within his body and channeled it into the pocket watch. Starting from the first point, the magic transformed into a winding line, eventually forming a one-stroke drawing.

The moment the magic completed the drawing in one stroke, a stream of information entered Hellagur's mind.

"Congratulations on solving the little riddle I set! Your ability to solve it shows that you are observant, thoughtful, and have an excellent mind. We, the Sixth Ring Tower, welcome outstanding wizards like you to join us. You can join the Sixth Ring Tower with this pocket watch."

"At the same time, I will teach you the Starry Sky Meditation Method, which is unique to the Sixth Ring Tower. Of course, if you already have a better meditation method, you can use your own. The Starry Sky Meditation Method can be used as a reference. Excellent meditation methods always have their unique features."

"Nicholas Carlos Camby, Glory Year 1024".

The teaching of the Starry Sky Meditation Method is also conducted in the form of information flow. With the language barrier removed, Herag understood it much faster.

After receiving instruction in the Starry Sky Meditation Method, he gained a deeper understanding of wizards and meditation techniques.

The Starry Sky Meditation Method explains the practice of meditation and some basic common sense about wizards.

Before becoming a formal wizard, those who practice meditation are called wizard apprentices. Wizard apprentices are divided into first-class apprentices, second-class apprentices, and third-class apprentices, from lowest to highest level.

Each stage has precise and strict requirements for mental strength; only after meeting the required level of mental strength can one advance to the next stage through a ritual.

The second-level advancement ceremony for wizard apprentices usually involves taking some magical potions to help them break through.

There are many types of meditation, and the methods of meditation vary, but the principles are the same.

Through meditation, people can sense their surroundings, feel the free-flowing energy between heaven and earth, absorb it and transform it into their own magic, thereby enhancing their spiritual power.

Those who can sense free energy are those who possess the qualities of a wizard.

When Hellagur first came into contact with the "unknown radiation energy," Deep Blue had indicated that it was compatible with his constitution.

However, at the time, Hrag had no idea how to absorb and utilize this energy, so it was Deep Blue who handled it.

Wizards have varying levels of aptitude. The difference lies in the fact that those with higher aptitude absorb knowledge faster, utilize it more efficiently, and thus cultivate more quickly.

People with poor aptitude often remain at the first-class apprentice stage forever because their absorption and utilization efficiency is too low and their mental strength grows too slowly.

Herag was unaware of his own qualifications; he had no means of testing and no standard to refer to.

"There's no point in thinking about these things now. Let's try this stargazing meditation method first."

The method of stargazing meditation is quite special. The meditator needs to look up at the starry sky, find any star, and then observe and meditate on it, visualizing the star in their mind.

Once you complete the meditation on a single star, you've entered the beginner level and crossed the threshold of becoming a first-class apprentice.

The Starry Sky Meditation Method has an extremely high potential, theoretically with unlimited room for improvement.

The more stars you can meditate on, the stronger your mental power will be.

When the number of stars in meditation reaches a certain amount, the star chart formed by the stars will have additional effects, but that is not something that Helag needs to consider at the moment.

What Herag needs now is to complete the meditation on the first star, and then this star will become his source of magic, from which he can draw magic for his daily meditations.

"Hrag Merlin: Strength 2.0, Agility 1.6, Constitution 2.2, Spirit 2.5, Magic Power 55%."

Herag glanced at the attribute panel again, and now he finally understood the role of mental power.

If he himself is seen as a container of magic, then his mental strength determines the size of that container.

The higher one's mental strength, the more magic power one can store and use, which also affects casting speed, spell power, and so on.

"So, which star should we start with?"

Herag gazed at the starry sky, a sky full of countless stars. These stars were unlike any he had seen in his previous life, and he couldn't identify them.

He chose a brighter, larger-looking star and began to meditate.

Herag gazed intently at the star, observing it using the method of stargazing meditation, trying to imprint it in his mind.

A whole night passed, and when Herag opened his eyes, the faint image of that star already appeared in his mind, though he was still some distance from completing it.

"It's a pity we don't have Meteor Grass to help us, otherwise we could be faster," Herag sighed.

Most meditation methods have corresponding supplementary medications that can accelerate the meditator's meditation speed and improve efficiency.

The Starry Sky Meditation Method requires an herb called Meteorite Grass, which typically grows on fallen meteorites.
