Invincible Hero of Necromancer Chapter 7: Meditation
Following the thoughts that flashed in his mind, Rhode quickly climbed up to a big tree by the exit of the tomb. The branches of the tree were thick and strong, and Rhode could easily stand on it.
Standing on the branch of the tree, Rhode found a position with dense foliage, good for concealment, and a good angle to observe the ground in his opinion.
When Rhode looked down, he could see all the dozens of meters above the ground. With the eagle eye technique he had learned, he could even see clearly the position of every fallen leaf on the ground. 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, Rhodes did not plan to escape when he judged that the necromancer apprentice was about to return, but planned to stay and find a way to assassinate him.
Due to the characteristics of undead creatures, for Rhodes, without the control of the necromancer, no amount of undead creatures are just cannon fodder for fighting by instinct.
In other words, as long as Rhodes can successfully assassinate the Necromancer, a group of undead creatures originally controlled by the Necromancer cannot pose a threat to Rhodes, and Rhodes can turn them all into his own experience points.
This is a good opportunity for the current Rhodes to improve his strength, but there is a little risk, Rhodes must successfully assassinate the returning necromancer. Otherwise, under the control of the necromancer, a group of undead creatures with tactics and mutual cooperation cannot be easily solved.
According to Rhode's idea, in order to find the opportunity to assassinate, there are only two suitable places to hide. One is in the tomb, and the apprentice of the necromancer will definitely enter the tomb after discovering that someone has come, and when he enters, he can find an opportunity to assassinate.
However, the necromancer's vigilance must be raised to the highest level when entering the tomb, and the risk of unsuccessful assassination is too great. If they were found in the tomb, they would not be able to escape.
Another suitable place to hide is in the tree where Rhodes is currently standing. Due to the limitations of human vision, the branches and leaves on the tree are basically ignored as long as there is no abnormality at first sight.
This is why Rhodes chose the tree as a hiding place. However, Rhode's current location is not particularly hidden, and it is difficult for the branches and leaves to cover up the specific figure. Standing at the exit of the tomb and looking up, you can find the abnormality.
Due to the superposition of foliage and foliage, the higher the selected location from the ground, the harder it is to be found. But if you choose a position too high on the trunk, once you fail to jump out and assassinate at the first time, you are likely to break your leg.
Due to the lack of the blessing of relevant special skills, it is difficult for Rhodes to choose the best hiding position in a short period of time.
Without hesitating for a long time, in order to increase the success rate of assassination, Rhodes chose to use a little skill point to learn primary reconnaissance.
(Primary reconnaissance: 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 good understanding of how to observe the enemy safely without being discovered. I also have some experience. Detection range +2, perception ability +1.)
After learning the primary reconnaissance technique, Rhode felt that he had gained an indescribable improvement. He did not directly inject some knowledge into his mind. For his own improvement, it was more like some experience. an instinct.
The previously chosen location seems to have quite a few loopholes in Rhodes at present, not to mention that he can see it at a glance on the ground, and he can even find himself in a slightly farther position.
Rhode hurried to another location. The new position is higher than the previous position, and the field of vision is better covering all the directions to be observed. The surrounding branches and leaves are lush, and the trunk of the tree is not far away. If necessary, you can use the trunk to hide yourself. Generally speaking, it is more hidden than the previous position.
Perhaps it was the perception bonus brought by the acquisition of reconnaissance. After sitting in the selected position on the tree trunk, Rhode was unwilling to let time pass by in vain. Meditate for a while.
Meditation is the foundation of unleashing magic, the first step in every spellcaster's learning of spells.
Meditation increases the caster's mana. Whether it is an orthodox spellcaster, a sorcerer, 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 in the character attribute * 10. Certain treasures and special skills can also increase maximum mana.
Before meditating, the maximum mana of ordinary spellcasters is 0, but there are also some who are born with mana, such as mana heroes and some mutant monsters.
For monsters, casting magic is more like their natural instinct, rather than relying on meditation to increase mana like a spellcaster.
Rhodes sat cross-legged on a tree trunk, ready to enter the meditation stage.
Meditation does not require a specific environment and posture, but for beginners of meditation, it is necessary to improve the quality of their meditation through some external factors. For example, a quiet room can definitely stimulate people's attention more than a noisy environment, and sitting cross-legged is more concentrated than other postures.
Meditation is not an unfamiliar act to Rhodes due to numerous meditations in previous lives. The improvement in perception ability also allows Rhodes to end his meditation as soon as the necromancer apprentice returns.
Rod closed his eyes and sat motionless in the tree. Looking from a distance, I can only see that my chest rises and falls slightly with my breathing. Apart from that, there was no other movement, and the whole person seemed to be still. Even if a few leaves floated on Rhodes, Rhodes did not respond.
Time passes slowly~IndoMTL.com~ Rhode's thinking focused on his own perception. All the wind around him and the chirping of various creatures seemed to go away, leaving only the center of his spirit.
This is different from the decrease in perception of the outside world caused by mental distraction when people are drowsy, but a natural decrease in perception of the outside world after focusing all their attention on the inside.
Even though the environment in the surrounding forest was still noisy, Rhodes quickly entered a state of meditation.
For the beginning of meditation, the experience of the past life is not very useful. Past life experiences are more about ways to improve the quality of meditation, and some tips for deep meditation. Being able to enter the state of meditation so quickly is more dependent on Rhodes' own will.
After entering the state of meditation, Rhodes began to perceive magical elements one by one in his consciousness. Next, what Rhode needs to do is the most important point in the meditation process, let his spiritual consciousness communicate with the magic element until he can accept it.
As time passed slowly, Rhodes frowned in meditation. Since Rhode's current body has no magical talent, he is not sensitive to the surrounding magical elements, and has been unable to effectively absorb the magical elements, which makes Rhodes a little irritable.
Fortunately, at this time, the experience of meditating many times in the past life is reflected. The more this time is, the less anxious it is. After realizing that his heart was not calm, Rhodes slowed down his inner emotions in time. Even if he could not absorb the magic element temporarily, Rhodes was no longer impatient.
Finally, with Rhode's unremitting efforts, Rhode's spirit began to establish a connection with the surrounding magic elements, and the magic elements began to move closer to Rhode.
At this time, if Rhodes sees the attribute panel, he will find that his mana has changed from 0/0 to 1/1.
