Then Richard discovered that something like a transparent belt was emerging from the back of his conscious neck and connected to his body, as if forming some kind of connection.
Richard tried to stay away from his body, and the transparent belt behind him automatically stretched. No matter how far away he was, it would not be limited by the length. It seemed that the length was infinite.
Richard tried to walk to the study room on the side, and then thought about it and wanted to return to his body. The transparent belt on the back of his neck immediately felt a strong pulling force, pulling his conscious body back to his body as if teleporting. On the sides and in the middle, as if to shorten the distance, the consciousness penetrates directly from the wall.
So Richard discovered that his consciousness could ignore any tangible matter and could easily penetrate walls.
The next moment, with a thought, the entire conscious body floated down from the bed, towards the bedroom door, easily penetrated the wooden door, and appeared in the corridor outside. Then Richard turned around, dragging a long transparent belt behind him, and floated along the wooden stairs towards the hall on the first floor. Soon, the scene of the hall appeared in front of him.
Although it was already night, many candles and oil lamps were lit in the palace hall, and the lights were bright, so doing things in it was not affected. At this time, many maids were busy at their work tables, preparing different experimental materials according to the prescribed methods, some were dilute hydrochloric acid, some were alcohol, and some were deionized water...
At the entrance of the palace, several guardsmen stood upright, guarding vigilantly. As the captain of the personal guard, Edward was much lazier. He was leaning against a wall, squinting at a palm-sized book by the light in the palace. While watching, I was very careful, raising my head from time to time to scan around, then lowering my head to continue watching.
Richard controlled his consciousness to get closer, and Edward didn't notice it. Then Richard saw the palm-sized book in the other person's hand, which was written with extremely lewd words for the current world: Countess Elizabeth gently took off her white clothes. She took off her dress, took off her pink underwear, walked to the bed, smiled charmingly at her male lover, then slowly sat down and let out a moan of relief...
"Oh, it really is this kind of book." Richard thought to himself, shaking his head in boredom, not interested in continuing to read with Edward, and turned around to a maid who was working.
It was a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, her name was An Qi. She looked pretty good, but the few freckles on her face made her look pale. But ignoring her appearance, An Qi is actually the smartest among all the maids in the palace. Basically, she can learn everything she is taught once.
Sometimes Richard even tried to train the other person to be his real assistant to help him manage the other maids. However, due to time reasons, it has not been implemented.
At this time, the other party was meticulously preparing the sodium hydroxide standard solution according to the task assigned to her.
The first step the other party did was to use a balance to weigh a fixed weight of solid sodium hydroxide. Because Richard had reminded him before, the other party was very smart and did not use papyrus to put the sodium hydroxide on the balance tray for weighing, because the sodium hydroxide was easy to deliquesce and would corrode the paper. The other party put the sodium hydroxide into the beaker, weighed it with the beaker, and then deducted the weight of the beaker to obtain the true mass of the sodium hydroxide.
Then the second step…
third step…
Seeing An Qi's meticulous work without making any mistakes, Richard nodded slightly satisfied. Suddenly something occurred to me, and I reached out to touch the other person's work table.
There is no doubt that the palm penetrates the tabletop with ease.
Richard frowned. The next moment he concentrated his energy and felt that the "hands" of his consciousness were a little solid. He lightly touched the beaker on the table.
Suddenly, the beaker shook violently and almost fell off the table and broke into pieces.
An Qi, who was working, was startled and quickly took out her hand to support her. Then she frowned slightly and looked at the palace door in confusion. She found that there was no wind blowing in. She couldn't help but said to herself: "What's going on?"
Richard couldn't answer the other party, but through his actions just now, he already knew what he could do now: he could affect the real world through his current consciousness, but it would be very laborious and weak.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Richard thought, a huge pulling force was felt on his neck from behind, and he flew towards the bedroom quickly. In just an instant, it penetrated the ground on the second floor and several walls, and returned to the bed in the bedroom.
…
On the soft velvet bed, Richard's body continued to sit cross-legged, motionless, his chest rising and falling slowly, maintaining normal breathing.
Richard's conscious body stopped on one side of his body. The next moment, he floated down from the bed and floated to the wall closest to him. He concentrated all his mental power and carefully drew a pattern on the wall with the "nails" of his conscious body. Come.
Looking at the pattern and nodding, Richard then remembered the main purpose of this test - astral projection.
The separation of the conscious body from the physical body is obviously one of the functions of astral projection, but it is not a central part. According to the records in "The Chapter of Monroe", the main reason why astral projection is called this name is because...
Richard looked up and looked up. The next moment he thought, his whole body quickly floated up, quickly passed through the roof, passed through the roof of the palace, and landed on the palace.
Outside the palace, the night was already dark, and the deep night covered the entire world like a dome. It was quiet all around, there was no sound, not even the wind existed, as if time had stopped.
But Richard knew that this was just an illusion. Not uneasy because it was too quiet, he controlled his conscious body to continue to float upwards, floating higher and higher, reaching a height of a hundred meters.
Looking down from a height of 100 meters, the entire Blue Lion City can be seen.
It can be seen that the current world similar to the Middle Ages is not as prosperous as the modern earth. Due to the expensive lighting materials, except for the royal palace, most of the entire Blue Lion City is plunged into darkness at night, with a few bright lights occasionally. It was revealed that those were also the locations of noble mansions.
Richard watched quietly, feeling a little strange when he saw the entire Blue Lion City below.
"The power of a wizard?"
At this time, the sound of "puff, plop, plop" sounded, and a black bird flew over from a distance. It looked similar to a crow, but was larger than ordinary crows. Richard recognized it as a raven.
The raven flew quickly. When it passed by Richard, it seemed to have noticed something. It twisted its neck and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing. Finally, it flapped its wings and flew away.
Seeing the raven's figure blending into the darkness in the distance, Richard withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and looked up.
At this time, I saw that the dome-like night sky was actually shining with dense and countless light spots. They were not stars, but the energy transmitted by the stars in the form of light, which is the so-called astral projection.
Astral projection!
Richard opened his arms and used his mental power to try to absorb energy into his body according to the method recorded in "The Chapter of Monroe". For a moment, it was like the sun was shining on the body, and the entire consciousness suddenly warmed up. A large amount of energy poured in quickly and continuously, and then was transmitted through the transparent back of the neck to the body sitting cross-legged.
But all the energy that enters the body is like a passer-by. It does not stay after entering and quickly passes away. Therefore, although energy continued to pour in, none of it was stored. This is precisely because the body lacks a special structure that can store energy - source of energy. And how to construct the source of law is the second issue of life reshaping.
The first life reshaping is responsible for separating the conscious body from the body, practicing astral projection, and strengthening spiritual power. The second life remodeling allows the energy of the universe to be stored in the body. The third life reshaping allows the stored energy to be turned into mana, which can be used to release spells.
Thinking about the contents of "Chapter of Monroe" like this, Richard stretched out his consciousness in the night sky and let the energy continue to pour in. At this moment, I feel like I am soaking in a hot spring. Although I gain any energy, my mental strength is continuously strengthened.
In this way, a consciousness floated above the Blue Lion City, feeling like a king the vast energy projected by the stars in the night, until...
