Chapter 82: Knowledge? Monster?

Chapter 82 Knowledge? Monster?

Luckily, later on, Mentor Monica still gave the crowd a detailed explanation of how semi-immersive meditation works.

Even Saul, a newcomer who had learned semi-immersive meditation on his own, had gained a lot of insight from it.

When he used to enter the semi-immersive style, it was always used to observe contamination and anomalies. However, in Mentor Monica’s explanation, semi-immersive meditation was actually a temporary means of stabilizing the mental body and urgently replenishing magic power.

When Saul was in distress in Mentor Katz’s laboratory, he was using semi-immersive meditation to stabilize his mental body.

However, after that, he had almost always used meditation on discovering alienated materials, and was about to forget its original purpose.

Saul’s magic power had increased significantly from three months ago, and now he could no longer quickly regain his full magic power using fully immersive meditation, let alone semi-immersive.

However, the advantage of semi-immersion was the quick start, and the magic power recovered in a short time was instead higher than immersion meditation.

However, this type of meditation that relied solely on oneself and did not utilize aids was not that easy to master.

It required the apprentice to be familiar enough with their meditation chart and skilled enough in the use of spiritual power.

If every time you meditate, you just follow the pattern of the picture and run your spiritual energy, you will immediately fall into the labyrinth of memory of “it seems to be like this, but it seems not to be” after you put down the book.

After most of the new apprentices began to try the semi-immersive meditation, Monica wandered around the classroom with nothing to do.

Occasionally an old apprentice would ask a question.

Some she answered, others she just smiled and didn’t say anything.

When Monica was walking by, Saul raised his hand to ask a question as well.

“Mentor Monica, are the meditation charts for Level 1 Apprentices and Level 2 Apprentices different? Or do you need to familiarize yourself with a different meditation chart for each stage.”

“Second level apprentices have already learned at least one 1st level sorcery, their mental body is strong enough to withstand more dangerous meditation charts, and they can choose to change their meditation charts” Monica faced Saul once again, and had already resumed her original smiling demeanor, “But you won’t be able to use the meditation charts when you enter the 3rd level apprenticeship. ”

“Can’t use it anymore?” Saul was stunned, but he quickly reacted, “Locator?”

Monica raised an eyebrow, “Looks like you’ve really been learning a lot ahead of your time. This is good, but it’s also dangerous.”

Monica stretched out a finger and gently tapped it on Saul’s forehead.

“Splat!”

An arc of electricity flashed.

Sol was startled and immediately dodged backwards, but there was still a pain on his forehead.

“Learning too much knowledge that is beyond your current ability, be prepared to take the corresponding risks behind the knowledge.”

After saying that, Monica carried her hands behind her back and continued to walk forward, leaving Saul to cover his forehead and ponder alone.

Almost all of the seniors and mentors had mentioned that wizards would encounter unknown dangers on their way to pursuing knowledge.

At first, Saul thought that it was the brain, or rather the mental body, that would collapse from vertigo due to complex and profound knowledge when learning complex knowledge.

But now that he thought about it, it seemed to be more than that simple.

It gave him the illusion that knowledge was actually a monster.

Unfortunately, there was no one to answer that question.

All the way through class, lunch, and to the second floor of the East Tower, Saul pondered the question.

However, before entering the corpse room, he met Mentor Katz once again.

“Mentor?” Saul was a bit strange, normally Mentor Katz wouldn’t appear so frequently.

Lately he had been seeing his mentor a bit more frequently.

“As the first place winner of the test, you can pick a companion flower, I will take you there.” After Katz finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Sol to reply, turned his back and left.

Saul followed headlong.

The reward of a companion flower was initially brought up by Senior Rokai.

Because the other party was the dominant party in the Mutual Aid Society, Saul didn’t want to cross paths with him too much, and thus didn’t put the Companion Flower on his mind.

Instead, he didn’t expect that his mentor would personally take him to pick the companion flower.

While following behind Mentor Katz, Saul took out the Basic Cognition of Everything from his backpack and searched in the Plants chapter.

Companion Flower: It can establish a bloodline connection with a living being and die after bearing fruit. The fruits it bears are of various types and serve different purposes, with the main ones being boosting slightly magical power and stabilizing spiritual power.

The few introductory sentences gave Saul something to look forward to about Companion Flowers.

Boosting the value of magic power, this would probably become a topic that Sol would study forever.

Sol then found himself and Mentor Kaz turning onto an unseen passageway.

This seemed to be the fifth floor of the East Tower, which belonged to the warehouse and was not a place that apprentices could enter at will.

After following Kaz and turning in, Saul passed by the warehouse gate and continued on, turning into another intersection, and as he walked, the road actually began to slope downwards. This time they went down for a long time.

Saul shoved the books haphazardly back into his backpack and looked forward curiously.

The gray stone tiles were becoming dusty, and the candle lights on either side were becoming sparse and old.

One lampstand was surprisingly broken, dangling diagonally from the wall.

This was a situation that had never occurred in the tower before.

As far as he could remember, the Wizard’s Tower had always been clean and well-organized, and someone was always taking meticulous care of everything inside.

Saul began to guess where the Companion Flower actually was.

After all, they were plants that still lived mostly in the soil.

And the land within the wizard tower is limited …… companion flowers, will it be outside?
Saul a heart gradually lifted up, and expect, and afraid to expect.

Fear of finally waiting for the disappointment.

But this time life finally did not let him disappointed.

After descending some distance, Saul saw a wooden, metal-framed door, wide open to the outside.

None of the nearby candle lamps were lit, but the place was also half dim.

There was an extremely bright but gentle glow coming in through the door, contrasting sharply with the bleak white candlelight.

Mentor Kaz walked here, paused for a moment, and turned back to Saul, who had already stretched his neck and started to look around, and said, “Calm down, don’t act like an unseen monkey.”

Sol immediately scrunched his neck.

But his eyes were still sparkling.

“Mentor, are we leaving the tower?”

“Don’t make a fuss, when you reach the second level, there will be many opportunities to leave the tower. The reason we don’t let you go out of the tower now is because we don’t want all of your hearts to be stirred up by the outside world and you won’t study properly.”

Kaz glared at Sol, always feeling that this little apprentice would disgrace him.

As he got closer and closer to the door to leave the tower, Saul’s mind recalled an image.

It was the gruesome scene that he had seen at Mentor Rum’s place: scorched earth, bubbling mud, scattered corpses, and black unknown tentacles ……

Would that be the scene at the bottom of the tower? A place like purgatory.

Mentor Kaz’s figure had disappeared behind the gate, and Sol took a deep breath and took a step outside.

Even if it was scary, it was still mesmerizing.

However ……

A fresh breeze was first on his face, bringing with it the scent of damp grass.

Behind the gate of the Sorcerer’s Tower, there was surprisingly a flat piece of land.

There was no dark slush, only light yellow soil.

Underneath their feet were purposely groomed roads that extended in all directions to facilitate travel.

Overhead is still the turquoise blue sky, the distance is still green mountains and dense forests, everything did not transition into hell on earth in the near distance.

Not far from the road was a garden, simply separated by a wooden fence. At the entrance of the garden, a small wooden house was built, and one could vaguely see a person sitting inside.

Through the fence you could see inside the garden, many colorful flower branches swinging in the wind. It just looked a little messy, not like it was carefully arranged.

The sound of a horse’s hooves accompanied by the sound of wheels rang out.

Saul looked sideways, and saw a two-rider carriage quickly approaching from afar, coming down another avenue.

That main road led to the Sorcerer’s Tower from the other direction.

The carriage was quickly obscured by the high walls of the Sorcerer’s Tower and disappeared behind it.

“Over there is the entrance to the vehicles.” Kaz saw Saul stopping to look away and explained in passing.

Saul nodded and his sight shifted as the surrounding scenery came into view.

The Sorcerer’s Tower stood on a wild plain that was nowhere to be seen, and there were shadows of other villages only a long way away, and it was unknown if they had purposely driven away the commoners.

But although there weren’t many people here, it wasn’t as scary as in the visions, just slightly more silent.

Sol couldn’t help but speculate, “Was the scene I saw in the beginning, was Mentor Rum scaring me, or was it just my fantasy?”
