Lucien looked around and found himself in the small wooden cabin where he found Elvis. Almost everything was the same as before. He was sitting on a wooden chair, and Elvis was sitting next to the fireplace on his left. There were noises coming from the adventurers' camp outside. The only difference was that the wooden spoon that should have been in Elvis' hand had fallen to the ground, and the brass soup pot was overturned on the fireplace. The bright red tomato soup was splashed on the fire, and the fire was sizzling.
As if something dawned on him, Lucien blurted out, "Your Excellency, the King of Nightmare?"
"Elvis" did not deny it. He calmed down and put on a gloomy face, "Are you really a middle-rank arcanist?"
Lucien remembered the math problems that appeared in his dream and grinned, "I've been working on my math foundation recently. I should be a senior-rank arcanist now, right?"
After a short pause, Lucien was confused and deliberately changed the topic, "Your Excellency, why did you put me in a dream? Also, am I really awake now? "
After waking up from the dream twice in a row, everything was so real that Lucien could not tell the difference between reality and dream. Even though he had secretly turned on the Library of the Soul, he still could not get rid of the confusion in his heart. Who knew if the Library of the Soul would appear in his dream?
This was the most mysterious spell that Lucien had ever seen!
Stanis, the former "Elvis" and the current King of Nightmare, said seriously, "I'm just following the request of an old friend. He thinks that your magic level does not match your arcana level, so he wants you to experience different things in the dream that I built, so that the potential of your soul can be fully developed. You can feel the strength of your soul now. "
Hearing the words of the King of Nightmare, Lucien directly entered the meditation environment. The familiar cognitive world made Lucien feel a bit "real". Then Lucien opened his eyes and said to himself in surprise, "My soul is indeed at the level of the fifth circle … Can the old witch's electric shock really strengthen the soul? That's not right. It should be that the activities of the dream are reflected on the soul, causing the soul to change. "
Lucien's soul was already at the level of a five-ring soul master, but the growth of his spiritual power was lagging behind.
Stanis, the King of Nightmares, nodded and said, "All dreams are based on your own cognition, mental activities, and past memories. Everything you experience in the dream will be reflected on your body and soul. But the feedback of normal dreams is very weak. In this world, only I can use it to fully develop the potential of the soul. Of course, it's just potential, and it won't exceed your own limits. If you want to continue growing, you'll have to meditate and temper yourself, take potions, and hold rituals. "
"So, it's based on my own cognition and memory. No wonder there are such weird coincidences as' electric shock stimulation 'and' mirror telling me '." Thinking about that, Lucien subconsciously asked, "Your Excellency, can 'electric shock' strengthen the soul?"
Stanis forced a smile. "What do you think?"
"Forget it," Lucien answered awkwardly. At this time, he had a lot of questions in his mind, but in the end, he still chose the one that almost made his head explode. "Your Excellency, how can I distinguish between dream and reality? How do I know if I'm still in a dream? "
Stanis was used to Lucien's confusion after experiencing the "real dream". He smiled like an old witch and said, "Why do you have to distinguish between dream and reality so clearly? What is reality? It's your brain's reaction to the outside world, and it's your soul's reaction to the outside world. As long as I can directly stimulate your brain and soul and make them have similar reactions, what's the difference between dream and reality? When I reach the end of my career, maybe I'll be creating a dream world. "
"That is to say, when my reaction to something in the outside world can't be simulated by the creator of the dream, I can completely distinguish between reality and dream." Lucien said thoughtfully. At the same time, he silently added, "When the projection of a certain theory in my cognitive world can explode the head of the creator of the dream, the dream will naturally be broken. Later, I'll secretly try the wave-particle duality of light and quantum stuff … "
Stanis, the King of Nightmare, appreciated Lucien's ability to get the answer from his description of the dream and reality, "Not bad. No wonder my old friend thinks highly of you. In fact, in the dream, I've been trying to avoid you from revealing the latest arcana research progress. In the maze, I also avoided other schools and chose the basics of mathematics. But … "Stanis' expression was a bit complicated.
"No wonder the old witch is not interested in arcana. Even the dream in the dream is only the result of application. It's contradictory to a lunatic's fearlessness! " Lucien was enlightened. He smiled and said, "So, the old witch is played by you, King of Nightmare. The madness is very real."
Stanis replied expressionlessly, "Strictly speaking, half of the old witch is the projection of something that you fear in your heart, and the other half is filled in by me. Only in this way can it be real. Also, Adam, Carina, Alva, Alfalia, and Bullard are all played by me in the same way. "
Lucien was a bit embarrassed. Was this the real version of "Although there are a lot of people talking to you, they're actually all my avatars?"?
To cover his embarrassment, Lucien hurried to ask another question, "Your Excellency, so you're saying that the purpose of this mission is to let me meet you and accept your training in the dream so that I can develop my own potential? Which one of you is doing this for me? " Lucien guessed that the old friend of Stanis, the King of Nightmare, was at least a legendary sorcerer.
Stanis said a bit gloomily, "It's also a test. If you can't deliver the letter here, there won't be any 'Real Dream'. As for my old friend, he probably likes your talent and wants you to be his disciple. You should've been tested before. "
"Was the weird summoning in the castle also a test?" Lucien suddenly recalled the incident. However, since 'Viken' was in touch with the missing legendary sorcerers such as Maskelyne that he knew, he did not seem to be a fake one. So, he asked again, "Who are you, sir?"
It seemed that the King of Nightmare did not want to mention the name of that person, "You'll know when you get back to the Congress. The letter you're carrying is actually a special magic scroll. When you're hit by a fatal attack, it will automatically trigger and bring you to a certain demiplane. If you want to save the time to go back to the Congress, you can activate it yourself. "
Such a special magic scroll should be at least a level nine item, right? Lucien wondered how many Quintal it could be exchanged for. Lucien suddenly felt like he had failed to recognize Mount Tai. He had been running around with such a high-rank item, but he did not know its value at all. What if he lost it?!
However, Lucien's resentment toward the Congress of Magic was also gone. They did not put him in danger by using the test.
Seeing that Lucien took out the letter and read it carefully, the King of Nightmare waved his hands and said, "You can leave now. I'm going back to the magic tower."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Lucien stood up and left.
Although Lucien's soul had just reached the threshold of the fifth circle, he was not worried that his arcana level could not catch up. The only problem was that he had to spend more time on the fields that he was not good at, such as illusion and transformation. At the very least, he had to have a solid foundation. Lucien was amazed by what the King of Nightmare was capable of. Even though he was not as good as the King of Nightmare, he should at least know a thing or two about the magic of the corresponding school.
Stepping out of the cabin, Lucien went back to the adventurers' camp, which was filled with the smell of liquor and lust. Lucien walked forward as if he had just finished his mission. Suddenly, Lucien remembered something. "Isn't the King of Nightmares an ancient sorcerer? Why would he be affected by my mathematical analysis exercises? He shouldn't be able to understand them. He should just let me interpret them in my dream!
…
Stanis, the King of Nightmares, didn't leave immediately. Instead, he muttered to himself:
Instead, he muttered to himself, "The enclosed land of demons and the confinement tower reflect the greatest fear in his heart. It seems to be a miniature of the whole world. But why does he feel like he's being sealed and imprisoned? "
"It's a good quality to be able to stay calm and observe in a dangerous environment. However, he did not speed up his escape until Alfalia died. From this, it can be seen that his family and friends, who once occupied an important position in his heart, were hurt or even killed, causing a great change in his mentality. At the same time, it left a deep psychological imprint. "
"Adam is probably the collective projection of all the male friends who helped him for whatever reason in the past. There's a sincere side to him, and there's also a side that makes use of him. But why is he called Adam? Carina also represents the female friends who he took care of and received help from, but there are no romantic feelings between them, which means that he is not sure about his own feelings, or he is deeply worried about his own feelings. "
"After becoming a prisoner, he has put some hope in the rescue of the legendary sorcerers of the Congress of Magic. From the side, we can see that he has received help from some powerful figures, and he has become somewhat dependent on them."
"The old witch is a crazy, smart, and powerful villain. This is a mixed projection of his enemies, including the Church, the ancient sorcerers, and the modern arcanists. But why is it a female?"
"What kind of psychological activities are 'electric shock stimulation' and 'mirror, mirror, mirror, tell me'?"
"In the face of danger, he can break his arm to escape, which reflects the fierceness and firmness in his heart, which is also a very good quality. After the series of battles, no one was injured. Even when facing the old witch, Adam was only on the verge of death, which means that he also has a soft side in his heart, and he values relationships and help more. "
"The existence of the underground relic means that he knows some unknown secret or location, which is probably a relic."
"Also, his unique spell is very interesting. The way to remove the magic circle and erase the spiritual mark is also very good."
On another wooden chair in front of Stanis, a figure slowly appeared. His white hair was mixed with black strands, and he was wearing a bright red robe. His red eyes were bright as he stared at the King of Nightmare, "The development of magic brought by arcana in the past hundreds of years has surpassed the development of the Magic Empire in thousands of years. Stanis, do you still want to go down the wrong path?"
After a short silence, Stanis said, "Give me more arcana books of a higher level. Right, don't read the books in that kid's dream. I can't take them … "
