Benjamin returned to his room successfully.
When he came out, he hid a complete set of clothes in the abandoned winery. Therefore, after taking a bath with the water polo technique and taking off his beggar's attire, he transformed back into the aristocratic young master and returned to the Riise family safely and soundly, as if he was just hanging out this afternoon.
At this moment, he had finished his dinner and was sitting on his bed, looking at a small mirror in his hand.
After leaving the prison ruins, he did not go home immediately. Although I am worried about the church's attack, the church is in such a hurry right now that it will definitely not respond so quickly. Therefore, before the church began to search, he could act without so much worry.
So, he went to the "old place" that Michelle told him, found the third tree, and dug out Anne's belongings.
Yes, although Anne betrayed Michelle and the two of them had various false feelings, the words she said when saying goodbye were all true.
She actually left something for Michelle, but Michelle ignored it. Without Benjamin's obsession, perhaps these things would have been buried under that dead tree forever, with no chance of seeing the light of day again.
Fortunately, he went and gained something.
The mirror in his hand is the magic prop he found among Anne's relics.
However, for some reason, he felt that this mirror was different from other magic props.
For example, when he got closer to the rings and crosses he found from the priest, Benjamin could feel a faint magical aura from them. But this mirror was different. No matter how close he got, he couldn't feel anything.
Because of this, he almost mistook it for an ordinary mirror.
However, when he focused his mental energy on the mirror, the mirror would suddenly glow, and then a phantom that looked exactly like him would appear in front of him.
When he first saw the phantom, Benjamin was really frightened and felt as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime. However, after recovering from his shock, he suddenly discovered that he could use his mental power to control this phantom, making it jump up and down and make any vivid expression.
In addition to being unable to make sounds or be touched, this phantom is so amazingly real that it can even be deceived by magical elements. Even if Benjamin used the water element induction method to sense it, he couldn't find any flaws.
Not only that, he soon discovered that everything the phantom saw would be reflected in this mirror.
He immediately realized how valuable this small mirror was.
Not only can it confuse opponents and set up scams, but at certain special moments, the phantom it summons can also replace its master to explore dangerous places.
That's it. How did Annie get such a powerful thing
And what's even more strange is that she doesn't use it yet, but just buries it in the soil and says she will leave it to Michelle - what on earth is she thinking
Don't understand.
However, Annie was dead long ago, and even if Benjamin couldn't figure it out, no one could jump out and answer his doubts. Therefore, he quickly forgot these things and concentrated on studying the small mirror.
However, after several experiments, Benjamin discovered with some regret that the distance between this phantom and him could not exceed 500 meters. He could control the phantom to go exactly five hundred meters, but as long as the phantom took another step forward, it would immediately disappear without a trace.
Pity.
If the distance were further away, this thing could even be called an artifact.
But it’s not bad now, and Benjamin doesn’t plan to force anything anymore. Originally, he had no expectations for Anne's relics, but having produced something good already made him feel very satisfied.
People, don't be too greedy.
Apart from this mirror, there is nothing more valuable among Anne's belongings. Benjamin thought about small items such as combs and dolls, but decided not to throw them away. He planned to hand them over to Michelle one day when he had the opportunity. This was also the completion of Anne's parting words.
Thinking this way, Benjamin sat on the bed, looked at the mirror in his hand a few more times, and put it away. Then, he took out the three magic items he had collected from the priest.
He also figured out their respective uses.
The cross necklace, whose function is to enhance a person's affinity with the Holy Light, was of no use to Benjamin, so he had to collect dust at the bottom of the box.
As for these two rings…
After putting one of them on, Benjamin felt that his mental power was slightly enhanced, and he was naturally very happy. As for the other ring, after he put it on, he suddenly felt like his body became lighter, as if his movements became a little faster.
Is this still possible? He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He suddenly remembered that when he was fighting with the priest, the priest rolled around and avoided the reflection of the holy light. At the time, he was even a little surprised by the priest's quick reaction. Now that he thought about it, it was probably because of the ring.
Being able to move faster is a good help to the mage.
In this way, after studying these magic props, a ring with spirit +2, and a ring with agility +2, Benjamin put them away and put them on when he was ready to use them - after all, they were stolen goods, so he had to be careful when using them.
He quickly lay down on his bed, closed his eyes, entered the consciousness space, and continued his magic practice.
However, this time, he did not start meditating.
He wanted to start studying the so-called "mind casting".
The experience of using ice needles to sneak attack the Paladin reminded him and made him realize the lack of his sneak attack methods - not always have the time to run far away, use magic, summon the ice needles, and then run away. Come back and attack others. More often, he needs to condense the ice needles on the spot and pierce them into other people's arms without delay.
The previous sneak attack on Scar Man was successful because they were too close and Scar Man did not react. Without such perfect conditions, it would be very difficult to sneak attack others with ice needles.
Because of this, Benjamin thought of casting spells with his mind.
If he could use magic without chanting a spell, the success rate of the sneak attack would be higher.
He also remembered that "Introduction to Divine Art" said that the cultivation method of opening up the space of consciousness can be used to cast spells with the mind. Unfortunately, the book does not explain exactly how to do this. Therefore, he could only delve into it on his own.
After thinking about it, he first conducted experiments in the consciousness space.
He closed his eyes, felt the water elements around him, and silently recited the water polo spell in his heart, but the result was predictable—nothing happened. But soon, he realized that magic characters were the basis of everything, so he changed his strategy and began to feel the rune water while concentrating and silently reciting the water ball spell.
Unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, his eyes were still empty and nothing happened.
Benjamin felt a little defeated.
He knew very well that the release of magic was the vibration of characters guiding the surrounding water elements, ultimately forming magic. But if he couldn't recite the spell, how could he make the magic characters vibrate
Thinking like this, he walked to the front of the rune water and stared at the triangular characters suspended in mid-air with blue light.
Can only a water ball spell make it vibrate
But... the so-called mental spellcasting means that you can still release magic even if you don't recite the spell.
How can I do
He really had no idea, so he could only stare at the rune water and recite the spell silently in his heart over and over again.
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times... The situation seemed to be like the beginning again. He had not yet opened up his consciousness space and did not know how to learn magic. He could only repeat this short but profound water polo spell in an infinite loop.
Maybe, maybe what is needed to break his current impasse is such repeated hard work
He immediately made up his mind.
Isn't it just the water polo spell hundreds of thousands of times? What are you afraid of? He has already done it once. What will happen if he does it again? Anyway, I have a lot of time, so what if I don’t sleep tonight? He got into a fight with this thing!
So, he really stared at the triangle characters and started a single cycle in his mind.
