Chapter 7 Meditation
Following the flash of thought in his mind, Rod quickly climbed up a big tree by the exit of the tomb. The branches of the tree are so strong that Rod can easily stand on it.
Standing on the branches of the tree, Rod found a place that seemed to him to be dense and conducive to concealment, while observing the ground from a good angle.
Luo Luo looked down, and he could have a panoramic view over the range of tens of meters on the surface. With the Eagle Eye technique he had learned, he could even see the position of every fallen leaf on the ground clearly. Farther away, it is impossible to see clearly due to the occlusion of branches and leaves.
“This location… seems to be easy to spot…”
Yes, Lord did not intend to escape when he judged that the Necromancer apprentice was about to return, but planned to stay and try to assassinate him.
Due to the characteristics of the undead creatures, for Rhode, he lost the control of the necromancer, and no matter how many undead creatures were just cannon fodder for fighting by instinct.
In other words, as long as Rhode can successfully assassinate the necromancer, the group of undead creatures originally controlled by the necromancer cannot pose a threat to Rhodes, and Rhode can turn them into his own experience points.
This is a good opportunity for the current Rhode to improve his strength, but there is a little risk, Rhode must successfully assassinate the returned Necromancer. Otherwise, under the control of the Necromancer, a group of undead creatures with tactics and cooperation can not be easily solved.
According to Rhode’s idea, in order to find the opportunity for an assassination, there are only two places suitable for hiding. One is in the tomb. The apprentice of the Necromancer will definitely enter the tomb after discovering that someone has come. When he enters, he can find a chance to assassinate him.
However, the Necromancer’s vigilance when entering the tomb will surely increase to the highest level, and the risk of assassination failure is too great. If it is found in the tomb, it is impossible to escape.
Another suitable place to hide is in the tree where Rhodes is currently. Due to the limitations of human vision, as long as no abnormality is found at first sight in places like branches and leaves on trees, they will basically be ignored.
This is why Rod chose the tree as a hiding place. However, Lord’s current position is not particularly concealed. The branches and leaves can hardly cover the specific figure. Standing at the exit of the tomb and looking up, the abnormality can be found.
Due to the overlapping of branches and leaves, the higher the selected location from the ground, the harder it is to find. But if the position chosen on the tree trunk is too high, once the assassination fails in the first time, it is very likely that he will break his leg.
Since there is no blessing of relevant special skills, it is difficult for Rod himself to choose the best hiding position in a short time.
Without hesitation, in order to increase the success rate of a little bit of assassination, Rhode chose to use a little skill point and learn primary reconnaissance.
(Elementary reconnaissance skills: Through continuous practice, your reconnaissance ability has been improved. You have learned to judge the enemy’s movements through various residual traces. At the same time, you have a certain degree of how to safely observe the enemy without being discovered. Experience. Detection range +2, perception +1.)
After learning elementary reconnaissance skills, Rod felt that he had gained an indescribable improvement, instead of directly injecting some knowledge into his mind. For his improvement, it was more like some experience, an instinct. .
The previously selected location seems to have a lot of loopholes in Rohde’s current situation. Not to mention that you can see it when you look up on the ground, and you can even find yourself at a slightly further distance.
Rod hurriedly changed to another position. The new position is higher than the previous position, and the field of view better covers all the directions to be observed. The surrounding branches and leaves are lush, and not far away is the trunk of the tree. If necessary, you can use the trunk to hide itself. Generally speaking, it is more hidden than the location just now.
Perhaps it is because of the perception bonus brought by the learning of the reconnaissance post. After sitting in the selected position on the trunk, Rod is not willing to let time pass in vain. Rod is prepared to be in the period before the return of the necromancer. Do meditation.
Meditation is the basis for the release of magic, and is the first step for every spellcaster in learning spells.
Meditation can increase the mana of the caster. Whether it is an orthodox spellcaster, a enchanter, or a necromancer, it takes mana to release magic. And meditation is the way to increase mana.
For players, the maximum mana that can be achieved by meditation is generally the knowledge of the character’s attributes*10. Certain treasures and special skills can also increase the maximum mana value.
Before meditation, the maximum mana value of ordinary casters is 0, but there are also some people who are born with mana, such as heroes of the mana system, and some mutant monsters.
For monsters, the release of magic is more like their natural instincts, instead of relying on meditation to increase mana like the caster.
Rod sat on the tree trunk, ready to enter the meditation phase.
Meditation does not require a specific environment and posture, but for beginners of meditation, they need to improve the quality of their meditation through some external factors. For example, in a quiet room must be more arousing people’s attention than in a noisy environment, and sitting cross-legged is also more concentrating than other postures.
Since he had meditated countless times in his previous life, meditation was not an unfamiliar behavior for Rhodes. The increased perception ability also allowed Rhode to end the meditation as soon as the necromancer apprentice returned.
Rod closed his eyes and sat motionless on the tree. From a distance, you can only see the chest rise and fall slightly with breathing. Apart from that, there was no other movement, and the whole person seemed to be still. Even if a few leaves floated on Rod, Rod did not respond.
As time passed slowly, Rod’s thinking focused on his perception of himself. All the wind around him and the sounds of various creatures seemed to be gone, leaving only his spiritual center.
This is different from the decline in perception of the outside world caused by mental dissipatedness when people are drowsy, but the decrease in perception of the outside world that occurs naturally after concentrating all the attention on the inside.
Even though the environment in the surrounding forest was still noisy, Rhode quickly entered a calm state.
For the first meditation, the experience of the previous life is not very useful. Previous life experience is more about ways to improve the quality of meditation, as well as some tips for deep meditation. Being able to enter the state of concentration so quickly is more dependent on Rhode’s own will.
After entering the state of meditation, Rhode began to perceive magic elements one by one in his consciousness. Next, what Rhode has to do is the most important point in the meditation process, allowing his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the magical elements until he can accept them.
As time slowly passed, the meditating Rod gradually frowned. As Rhode’s current body has no magic talents, he is not sensitive to the magic elements around him, and has been unable to absorb magic elements effectively, which makes Rhode a little irritable.
Fortunately, at this time, the experience of many meditations in the previous life is reflected. The more you are at this time, the less you can be anxious. After realizing that his heart was not at peace, Rod slowed down his inner emotions in time, even if he could not absorb magic elements temporarily, Rod was no longer impatient.
Finally, with Rhode’s unremitting efforts, Rhode’s spirit began to establish contact with the surrounding magic elements, and the magic elements began to move closer to Rhodes.
At this point, if Rod sees the attribute panel, he will find that his mana has changed from 00 to 11.
