Chapter 101 Equivalent to Grass Talent

"Pain from nowhere?"

In Ji Lian's room, she asked with a frown while copying the latest materials brought by Ke Lin.

It was evening, and after reporting home from the seminary, Ke Lin came to Ji Lian's house again.As usual, he put down the agreed materials and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered another thing.

That was the feeling he felt at the last moment before rushing into the pile of wind blades when fighting in the underground bar.

Intense intentions were focused into the vajra ritual, and as more and more psychic essence surged through his aether, there was a sharp pain spreading like a blood vessel from nowhere.

"It sounds strange. It's like there is pain all over the body. If you pay special attention, it seems that there is no pain anywhere." Colin said.

Because this feeling was too weird, and it happened at the critical moment of the operation, so he didn't dare to completely ignore it.

Listening to what Ke Lin said, Ji Lian's expression became serious, and she stopped the pen in her hand.

"When we were still in church school, the teacher warned us more than once." She recalled:
"If you don't know where it hurts in your body...

"That means the spirit element has overflowed from your aether."

"Overflow...?" Colin thought, that didn't sound like a good thing.

It is easy to understand literally.As a medium, ether can accommodate a limited flow of spiritual essence.When the flow exceeds the upper limit, Lingsu will overflow like a river overflowing a dam.

However, something seems amiss.

"Wait a minute, how much spiritual essence can be driven by a small ceremony drawn with red graphite water?"

Just this bit of spiritual essence, let the flow in the ether exceed the upper limit?

Colin frowned and asked:
"You mean to say that the width of the ether channel on my body is roughly equivalent to three or four grams of redstone?"

How ridiculous.

"That's why I also feel... a bit weird." Ji Lian couldn't help but put her thumb to her mouth. When she was contemplating, she would do something like this:
"But those teachers warned that if there is an overflow of spiritual essence in a person, that means."

She hesitated for a moment, then said carefully:
"It means that he needs to consider whether his career as a wizard has come to an end."

Colin almost thought he had heard something wrong.

It was obviously the first time he used a small non-universal spell, so he needed to start thinking about whether he had reached the end of his wizarding career?
He suddenly felt that he was also a talent on another level.

"But that can only happen after a stable connection with the outside world has been established." Ji Li'an said in confusion.

After the consciousness is connected to an extremely wide astral ether, or a high-level spiritual body, the surging spiritual flow will overflow the river bank.

"In any case, the ether channel of the human body still has a certain width, and the flow of spiritual essence in a small ceremony should be far from..."

Colin didn't listen to what she said, but stood up directly and opened the secret door where the ceremony was placed.

It's just a waste of time to simply confuse and speculate here.Knowing that the problem might be a bit serious, Colin was going to try again the all-intention focused Vajra Technique.

"If the spirit essence is allowed to overflow, what will be the consequences?" Colin asked while adjusting the main body of the ceremony.

"The overflowing free spirit element will find a new descending channel by itself." Ji Li'an said:
"In most cases, it will pass through your body..."

Unlike those described in the novels of the previous life, the spirit element is not only useless to the material body, but harmful.

After all, all material things do not originally exist to contain spiritual essence.

The idea of ​​relying on spiritual essence to improve the body is probably similar to wanting to drink nuclear waste for health care.

After concentrating on the vajra technique, the stabbing pain from nowhere reappeared.Ke Lin bit and endured silently, waiting for the red graphite water to evaporate.

Three minutes later, Ji Lian tested Ke Lin's body with pure salt, and found the existence of free spirit element.It means that all worries have become reality.

"However, it is unrealistic for the spiritual essence flow guided by three or four grams of red stone to overflow the ether of the human body." Ji Lian still couldn't believe this fact:

"Even if it's the ether channel of a grass, it's more than that wide."

Maybe extraordinary talent is not as good as a blade of grass, Ke Lin thought silently, thinking that Ji Lian's analogy was somewhat humorous.

"No, compared to the width of the ether channel itself, I think it's better to suspect another possibility." She thought about it and said:
"A part of the consciousness also uses the etheric channel as a carrier. Could it be that part is occupying too much space...?"

"..."

Following her words, Colin finally remembered something.

For example, the abundance of life that was divided into [-] shares.

Or the "teacher" imprisoned in consciousness.

Perhaps they are all blocked together in their own etheric channels.Only then did the other somewhat large-scale spiritual flow be forced to overflow and flow roughly through the body.

"But even so." Ji Lian continued to mutter to herself, "I still think it's impossible."

"Is it possible for consciousness to expand to this extent before the shell of the heart opens?"

Colin was silent.Because of his situation, only he himself knows.

Obviously the heart shell is intact, so why does the "teacher" appear directly in the heart shell?Why is the abundance of life able to reach such a scale?

These seemingly contradictory situations in ordinary people can actually be perfectly explained.

That is, in the past, he had somehow entered the transcendent.

Then, the shell of the heart was repaired and closed.

A few days ago, the cracks left by the Shuttle Demon's roar on the shell of the heart were slowly closing again.

He didn't know whether it was the memory seal that was constantly repairing the cracks, or the cracks caused by external shocks, which were difficult to sustain in the first place.

When the rift is completely closed as in the past, Colin's intentions radiating outward will be cut off by the heart shell again, and he will no longer be able to focus on the ceremony.

He will become like Giovanni and ordinary people again, unable to use witchcraft other than universal magic.

Even the object-finding technique and diamond technique will not be able to be performed.

He had thought it was tricky enough.But now it seems that the obstacle left by the caster is far more than a heart shell without leaving a single gap.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, even his ether width was blocked...

Even worse than a grass.

Colin asked:

"If Lingsu is allowed to flow through the body like this, what will be the consequences?"

As if she had expected that Ke Lin would ask such a question, Ji Lian replied directly:
"Don't think about it, you will die."

Death can be divided into speed and slowness.

"If the power of perception and connection determines the growth rate of a wizard."

"Then the width of the ether channel, as well as the body's affinity for spirit elements, determine the limit of the wizard's ascension."

Ji Lian repeated what the teachers taught her.

"When the spiritual essence starts to overflow, it means that you have reached the end, you are already 'full', you should not connect more power, and let the spiritual essence flow rise again."

Colin thought about his situation:

"'Shouldn't' do it, not 'can't' do it. That means it's all a choice."

"Yes..." Ji Lian replied.

No matter what the consequences, the choice is always in front of the wizard's eyes, but this is also the most cruel place.

"Of course you can let the rising spiritual essence overflow from the ether and continue to pursue power."

Strength, how many people can withstand this temptation.Or, there is no helplessness of having to improve strength.

"Ether is the first reservoir, and the influx of spiritual elements into the body will not directly cause consequences. Because the living body has a natural affinity for spiritual elements, it is the last reservoir."

"When the affinity of the flesh also reaches its limit, the 'severe pain of unknown origin' will begin."

Exactly what happened to Colin at the moment.

It seems that in terms of Lingsu affinity, I am almost on the order of a grass.

Uncle's student Heine got the test result of "all bad" at the Holy One Seminary, which is not wrong.

Colin thought to himself mockingly.

"That's the warning of spiritual rejection." Ji Li'an said, "Crystalization will begin in your body..."

"If you don't stop at this point, how long will it be before you die?" Ke Lin asked.

Ji Lian was startled and said:

"If it's two months fast, it won't be more than a year if it's slow."

"That's just right," said Colin. "We were going to settle the matter in December. Isn't it?"

"Why don't you understand at this point..." Ji Lian said puzzledly:

"Not everyone can be a wizard, and not everyone has to be a wizard."

But everyone has their own difficulties.

Colin met Giovanni again when he left the seminary, and he only gave himself two messages.

One, Giulio's performance was not good, and it did not arouse obvious repercussions among Capello's leaders.

Second, all the bodies that died in the underground bar incident have been handed over to Aresio.

Including, the gunman who had just finished his funeral.

It's not good news either way.The most unoptimistic thing is that Aresio's threat to himself is slowly but unstoppably solidifying.

It's not known how much evidence he's already got, whether it's about suspicions of witchcraft or bootlegging.

Or something else.

time is limited.

"Actually, the right to choose has never been in my hands." Colin said with a smile.

There seems to be a choice between two dead ends, but you can only choose the one with a small probability of survival.

Or some things, even if you die, you must do it.

"I got some good things recently, and I may need your help." Ke Lin said to Ji Lian, and walked to Ji Lian's workbench:
"I know I'm doing something stupid in your eyes, but I'm sure you won't reject me."

After all, this is the agreement between them.

Colin puts The Slave King's Wedding Ring on her workbench:
"Check for me to see if there is any problem." He said:
"Or after a while, help me look behind."

……

……

The content in "The Wedding Ring" mainly revolves around how to form a hearth in consciousness, and the main material for building the hearth is actually the cracked and peeled shell of the heart.

After this project is completed, the way for the devil to return to the imaginary world will be blocked, and the spells in the first covenant will always take effect in the hearth.

At that time, the imprisoned devil will only be able to move within the owner's ether.Until the death of the master, it can only be used as the core of the spirit body on the hearth, and is forced to give up its power.

The author also described in "The Wedding Ring" that in the era of Gloria, the slave king, humans and demons were connected together in this form.

This may not be the real history, and if this is the so-called "wedding ring", Colin thought, it would sound too wicked.

The Heart Shell can indeed hold spirits... and the first prisoner in it is its owner's own soul.

According to the preamble.The design of the prison and the hearth was inspired by himself.

And the so-called "hearth" probably takes advantage of such characteristics of the heart shell.

In addition, "The Wedding Ring of the Slave King" also describes how to find, capture and isolate the tricks from the devil.

There should be a lot of gaps in the heart shell of the wizard "Horst".It's a dangerous talent, meaning he was born with the gift of being a wizard.The result was that the foreign wind demon parasitized in his consciousness, eating away his guilt for a long time.

After that, he made his own parasitic spirit directly into the hearth.

So where should I catch the devil?

Ke Lin took out seven dried laurel leaves, and gently stroked the incantation written on the leaves with his fingers, the name of the monarch of District 32: "Ixion, the Wheel of Burning Stakes".

In the past few days, Colin has suppressed all thoughts about the "shuttle demon" in his mind through repeated practice of meditation.

So sometimes inadvertently, he would be confused when he touched a stack of leaves in his pocket, and couldn't remember why he was carrying these things.

But immediately afterward, Colin would recall that he was avoiding the image of a certain devil, thus suppressing related thoughts again.

And now, is it time to actively recall its image and bring it into reality?
