Arcane Journey

Chapter 171 Mood Plane
The next day, Brian woke up from the fluffy pillow.

Soft lace curtains hung on the comfortable bed, and the leaking morning light lightly touched his sleepy eyes.

He was a little unaccustomed to such a place, even more unaccustomed than sleeping directly in the wilderness.

He didn't have the habit of staying in bed. After getting dressed, he went out.

Just as Brian walked out of the room, a crystal ball the size of a ping-pong ball emitting a light blue halo seemed to have been waiting for a long time, "Mr. Brian, the master asked me to take you to the bathroom."

The sound from the crystal ball was crisp and sweet, it sounded like two crystals colliding together and shattering lightly, with a faint hum echoing.

There is no doubt that this crystal ball is one of Helisite's six psicrystal minions.

Looking at Hellist's psicrystal, and recalling his little guy who could only moan without illness, he didn't want to let it out casually. He suddenly realized the gap, and felt that he must take care of it when he had time. Tune in and act as your right-hand man.

He didn't speak, just nodded slightly at it.

"Please follow me." The floating psicrystal guided him towards the upper level of the Moon Shield Tower.

Brian followed the psicrystal to another room in the tower.

There is no doorknob in this room, and a mysterious magic rune is engraved in the middle of the door, which obviously belongs to a relatively private place.

The psicrystal wrapped in a light blue halo flew to the door, and then tapped lightly on the rune mark of the door.

A light blue aura emerged, and the mysterious runes on the door also lit up and opened automatically.

Then everything inside appeared in Brian's sight.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a very special fragrance.

Like the essence of black lotus in the dark area, if there is nothing, it smells refreshing, and even a refreshing fragrance can be detected.

If it wasn't for the overpowering smell, he would even have thought Hellist herself was standing in front of him.

"Please." The psicrystal floated in front of him and flew towards another door on the side.

Brian followed closely. After entering the room, he saw a large bathtub inside, but this was not the most critical part.

What caught his attention was a large magic circle under the bath. As a spellcaster, he naturally saw through the mystery at a glance.

The function of this magic circle is to gather the free magic elements in the air, more like a weakened version of the element pool.

With a thought, a ball of water condensed in the bath and appeared in his palm, making him feel a very soft elemental energy.

Feeling the rich elemental energy, he recalled the information of the Supreme Palace.

In the Supreme Palace, there are a total of five mage towers. In addition to the moon shield tower where he is located, there are four mage towers guarded by the silver moon mage in the four corners of the southeast, north, and south.

These mage towers are not decorations, but strategic fortresses in the true sense. The protective barrier of the entire Silvermoon City is supported by these five mage towers.

It is said that the five mage towers and the enchantment formation were jointly completed by the goddess of magic, Mystra, and her god-supreme Azuth when the supreme lady Alastriel became the leader of Silvermoon City.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a professional living in Silvermoon City, they must obtain the enchantment mark that symbolizes their status before they can walk freely in this city.

Those new players who chose to be born in Silvermoon City would receive a unicorn mark of the lowest level as a reward and proof of identity.

For outsiders like Bryan, it is not that simple. In addition to passing layers of inspections at the gate of the city, they also have to complete a designated task.

Most importantly, Silvermoon City cannot tolerate even a trace of evil.

All professionals of the evil camp, whether they are players or original residents, will be stopped by the "disgust spell" attached to the enchantment if they trespass into Silvermoon City without permission.

In addition, spells such as detection detection, elimination of invisibility, protection from negative energy, and protection from evil are all constant on the protective barrier of Silvermoon City, which is enough to kill the dark side of the city to the greatest extent.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be called 'The Jewel of the North'.

In fact, this is just a constant passive spell. Any professional or commoner who holds a mid-level diamond chest badge, as long as they are within the range of the enchantment of Silvermoon City, they can choose three enchantment spells to serve themselves every day.

For example: Walk in the Air, Bless Weapon, Brute Strength, Lightness, Dispel Chaos, Dispel Evil, Feather Fall, Lesser Iron Guard, Magic Missile, Fire Extinguish, Remove Curse, Remove Paralysis, Defense Bio-field, shield, electric claw, silence, tongues, and more.

These spells are also called vanguard spells. If a major crisis is encountered, all those who hold intermediate enchantment markers, even ordinary people, can activate these spells to deal with the enemy.

This kind of advanced and perfect fan lock, the Floating Void City in the Netheril period did not enjoy this kind of treatment.

There is no doubt that Brian will definitely use the convenience of Hellist's status as the lord of the city to learn the knowledge of these myths, and lay a solid foundation for his future establishment of the floating city.

Of course, in order to support the protective barrier of the entire Silver Moon City, a device similar to an element pool is naturally needed to provide a steady stream of magical energy for the entire barrier circle.

Therefore, seeing this bath, Brian guessed that the entire mage tower and enchantment in Silvermoon City were all supported by an elemental pool.

As for the location of the element pool, he can know from here that it is definitely in the Moon Shield Tower.

"What did you bring me here for?" Brian looked away from the magic circle in the bath, and said to the psicrystal floating in front of him, "Don't tell me, it's just for taking a bath."

"The master said that the ritual of awakening psionic talents is in this pool." The psicrystal said, "You just need to soak in it, and it will automatically awaken."

"It's that simple?" Brian wasn't worried that Helliste would harm him, so he prepared to take off his clothes and take a bath.

He just took off his coat, but suddenly found that the psicrystal wrapped in a light blue halo was floating in front of him, making him feel like he was being stared at by a pair of straight eyes.

"You don't need to avoid it?" Thinking of the link between Psicrystal and Master, even a thick-skinned person like him suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Helliste made him feel cold and rational. To be honest, being stared at by this kind of woman's eyes that seemed to see through the world would make him feel uncomfortable.

"I need to stay here to help you activate the energy in the pool and assist you in the awakening of your psionic talent." The psicrystal said in a serious tone, with a clear and sweet voice, without any emotional fluctuations.

Bryan is not a coy person. Hearing this, he could only bite the bullet and take off the clothes on his body under the gaze of the psicrystal, and then entered the pool naked.

He guessed that the reason why Helisite let the psicrystal come over was probably also to avoid such an embarrassing scene.

As for whether she was secretly observing through the psicrystal's perspective, he thought it was very likely.

After all, he accepted a ceremony for the awakening of psionic talents. Although it was different from this time, she led the whole process.

She once also said that this kind of ritual is very dangerous, and there will be fatal danger if you are not careful.

A cool breath permeated the body.

Brian, who got into the bathtub, felt in an instant, as if all the physical and mental exhaustion he had always thought had been washed away.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that the water in the pool suddenly became active, like boiling water.

At the same time, on the side wall of the bath, faint magic energy also emerged, as if some special magic circle had been activated.

This cool and refreshing breath lasted for about half an hour, and Brian suddenly sensed a surge of special energy, which gradually penetrated into his body from the surface.

For a split second, his whole body immediately flowed away due to the surge of energy in his body, and it became painful like a knife piercing a needle.

With the surge of energy, this pain is also increasing.

Brian clearly felt that his body had been ruptured by this special energy, his blood vessels burst, and his whole body was in a mountain of knives. He couldn't help but want to cry out in pain.

However, he couldn't make the slightest sound. He wanted to struggle, but it was as if he had been hit by a hold spell, and he couldn't move his whole body.

He clearly and deeply felt that his blood vessels seemed to be forcibly drained in an instant, and in the infiltration of the light green energy overflowing from the pool, new blood was spawned at an extremely fast speed.

He finally realized that this so-called complete awakening of Atas's psychic bloodline was more like a ritual of overpowering seedlings.

In this situation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the pain.

I don't know how long it took, Brian felt as if a year had passed, he suddenly felt his body loosen, his blood became unimpeded, all the pain disappeared in an instant, and there was an indescribable sweetness in his body, Very comfortable.

At this moment, the psicrystal floated in front of him.

He mobilized the pool water through telekinesis to wipe the cold sweat off his face, then raised his head with difficulty, looking at the psicrystal slowly turning in the light blue halo.

He saw the dancing magical light reflected on the surface of the psicrystal, turning into thousands of perfect star reflections, dancing endlessly.

With so many reflections, no crystal can have so many facets so small and flawless.

This is not a miracle that can be achieved by a gemstone craftsman's carving knife at all. The exquisiteness of the psicrystal far exceeds the level that all tools can create. This is an ingenious design.

But it wasn't these things that attracted him, he saw countless starlight transforming into a vortex, attracting him to the depths of the psicrystal's starlight.

Looking at the slowly turning, incomparably miraculous and profound psionic servant, he was gradually captured by the crystal clear light, as if he had fallen into a short-term hypnotic state.

In a trance, Brian came to a void space as if his soul had gone out of his body.

The starry sky is vast, boundless, dotted with stars, endless.

He felt that the moment his soul touched the illusory stars, his mental power was like a string being struck, and it swayed violently, driving his soul to vibrate.

Brian understood the whole process half-comprehensively. He instinctively extended his mental power to stabilize those mental power lines that fluctuated so much that they were almost disconnected.

As he extended and manipulated these threads of spiritual power, they were gradually stained with a layer of bright starlight, and gradually became stable.

Immediately afterwards, Brian obviously felt his soul shake, and there was a reflection of a star inside.

Connected to the star reflection, the star-like spiritual power line seems to be greedily absorbing a special energy from the vast, star-studded void to grow and nourish the star reflection in the soul.

Gradually, with the absorption of energy, Brian sensed that in the reflection of this star, in addition to the psychic energy necessary for psionic professionals, the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire are also lingering.

These energies are perfectly integrated, tirelessly tempering the strength of his soul and mental power.

And the reflection of the star that appeared in his soul also made him seem to have an illusion that it was becoming solidified at an undetectable speed.

When Brian felt a sense of fullness in his soul and spiritual power, he ended this meditation and opened his eyes.

Unknown to him, the moment he opened his eyes, two imperceptible starbursts flashed away from his deep black pupils.

Naturally, Brian didn't notice this situation. He saw that the psicrystal floating in front of him became dim, wobbly, as if it would fall to the ground at any moment, and flew behind him.

He got up from the bath and turned to check.

When he saw a figure floating behind him like a ghost, he immediately stretched out his finger, and through telekinesis, put the clothes on his body as quickly as possible.

"In Mokou Town, we are all used to knock on the door before entering other people's rooms." In order to resolve the embarrassment, he jokingly said to Helisite who suddenly appeared.

Then, as he walked, he brushed his damp hair back and performed a simple trick to dry it.

"I've already knocked." Helisite stretched out her white palm, caught the flying psicrystal, took it back to the star world to restore energy, and said calmly, "You should be intoxicated by the warm bath. so I didn't hear it."

Speaking of the warm bath, Brian immediately recalled the pain he had just suffered.

He was about to ask the specific reason, but Helisite said it first, "During the ceremony just now, when you released your mental power, what did you sense?"

"The vast starry sky." Brian replied without thinking.

"Even in a normal state, I can sense the reflection of a star in my soul." After thinking for a while, he then added:
"If I concentrate, I can even vaguely sense that there is a star in the distant void that has a mysterious connection with me. If I want, I can even borrow a little of its power."

After listening to his own analysis, he noticed the relieved expression on Helisite's peaceful face, and then muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that in your state of mind, what appeared was the reflection of the starry sky. "

"What's going on here?" Hearing her whisper, Brian couldn't help asking.

Then, he suddenly remembered that during the ceremony just now, he heard the prompt from the system,

So he quickly called up the system bar to check the records just now.

"Complete the baptism of Atas spiritual energy blood!"

Seeing this, Brian's expression moved. He looked at Helliste, waiting for her to give him a reasonable explanation about the state of mind.
