Chapter 791 Spiritual Baptism
Thor sits inside a huge hourglass.
The entire hourglass is made of brass mixed with mithril and magic mirror, and is hollowed out and carved with many nebula patterns, allowing air and sunlight to penetrate into the interior of the hourglass, while ensuring that the situation inside the hourglass cannot be seen from the outside.
The hourglass was originally used for telling time. When it lost the ability to see the sand inside, the ability to tell time was naturally lost.
Thor is currently located in a large experimental cabin in the Sky City Practice Institute.
Some time ago, Ophelia personally gave orders to the Academy of Knowledge and the Academy of Practice to help Thor improve his magic and mental strength as quickly as possible.
The improvement of magic power has been initially completed. Thor himself is a third-level wizard, and the means for others to help him improve his magic power are limited.
After taking some potions and doing several enhancement experiments, the Practice Institute finally took out their ultimate weapon for improving personal mental strength.
It is the giant hourglass where Thor is currently located - the Blood-Sand Hourglass.
It took two weeks of preparation before Thor was called over.
From the distressed look on the face of Shaquille, the Dean of the Practice Institute, it can be seen that their resource pool has really been bleeding heavily in order to prepare for this experiment.
“Boom boom boom.”
Someone outside was tapping the hourglass gently, and the echo reverberated inside.
"Sir Thor, we are going to release the sand. Please sit in the center axis and don't move."
"Okay, I'm done."
After Thor came in, he sat in the central position and did not move while the others were preparing.
"Okay," Shaquille finally instructed, "When the blood sand completely covers your head, you can start meditating. Don't use your magic during this time, otherwise the hourglass will stop immediately and the entire experiment will not be able to continue. In the short term, the amount of blood sand we have left is not enough for a second experiment."
"I understand." Thor's voice was steady.
Shaquille retreated all the way to the outside of the experimental cabin and ordered his men to seal the entire cabin.
This is to prevent other people's magic power from entering the experimental chamber and forcing the instrument to stop operating.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment, the wizard sitting inside the hourglass should be given a magic lock ring. But Thor was a third-level wizard after all, and a distinguished guest of Lord Ophelia, so no one dared to mention this before the experiment.
Even if a lot of blood sand is wasted in the end, it is better than being hated by a powerful third-level wizard.
When the experimental chamber was sealed, Shaquille directed his wizards to operate a huge metal rod and open the valve to release the sand.
As the metal rod was pulled down, a pipe above the metal hourglass inside the experimental cabin was opened.
Fine, crystal red sand fell from the pipe into the upper part of the hourglass.
When the upper part is almost filled, the pipe stops falling sand.
Then, a huge robotic arm moved over, grabbed the upper part of the hourglass cover with its robotic claws, and gently put it down.
The lid and the hourglass fit together tightly and are finally fixed with screws.
When everything is done, sand starts to fall from inside the hourglass.
“Rustle, rustle…”
A large amount of blood sand fell from the hole in the middle of the sand mouth, directly falling on Thor's head, and then rolled down his lapels to the ground.
Every grain of sand that fell and hit Thor's head was like a small hammer hitting directly into Thor's soul.
Although he was meditating, the world in his mind had changed from pitch black to a sea of red.
And he himself became a small boat struggling to survive in the huge waves.
As the blood sand covered Thor's body, the boat was hit head-on by the huge waves and sank beneath the sea.
My body seemed to be falling apart, and the fishy and salty sea water poured into my body, blocking the air.
Thor, who had experienced many illusions and mental attacks, was not panicked. He calmly adjusted his spiritual body and did not resist the huge waves. Instead, he turned himself into a small fish. Even if he was swept by the huge waves and rolled continuously in the sea, he would not suffocate.
Once he regains his balance, he can swim freely in the sea.
At this time, the blood-red sand in the hourglass had not yet passed Thor's head.
Shaquille, who had been watching carefully from outside, immediately ordered, "Turn the hourglass upside down!"
Several strong wizard apprentices struggled to pull up the two brass chains.
The chain made a "clattering" sound, driving the gears above the head to rotate continuously.
The huge hourglass in the experimental chamber slowly turned over.
Finally, it turned upside down and Thor moved from the bottom of the hourglass to the top of the hourglass.
However, a magical scene happened.
Although no magic was used and there were no fixed facilities, Thor still sat in his original position, and even though he was upside down, he did not fall down.
The sand covering him fell downwards according to gravity.
As the sand on his body peeled off bit by bit, Thor felt like an onion, having its skin peeled off layer by layer.
In the end, he was no longer a small fish in the deep sea, but himself, completely and clean.
There were no huge red waves around.
There is only a quiet time and space left.
There is no gravity, no sound, and it seems that there is no concept of space and time.
Thor was floating quietly in this clean world, and he didn't even feel the loneliness in the extreme silence.
"It turns out that this step is the most important step in this blood sand hourglass, and the one that can best enhance one's spiritual power."
This thought flashed through Thor's mind, but he quickly let it go.
This was a rare experience to purify his spirit. He had to cherish every minute and every second, as thinking too much would affect the effect.
It is better to let yourself return to being a little baby, think about nothing, completely empty your mind, and accept the complete baptism.
The hourglass experiment lasted five days, far exceeding Shaquille's initial plan of one to a day and a half.
Almost all wizards in the practice academy suspended their original work because of this experiment.
But seeing that Thor was taking a long time to come out, Shaquille couldn't let the entire practice institute just sit there waiting, so in the evening of the next day, he asked everyone else to go back, and he himself, as the organizer of the experiment, personally guarded outside the experimental cabin.
It was not until the fifth night that Thor came out of the hourglass.
Because all the blood sand has been fully utilized and turned into black sand, Thor no longer has to worry about the rule that he cannot use magic. He just teleports from the hourglass to the outside.
How to teleport?
Naturally, he would release the Nightmare Butterfly first, and then go outside to become his location coordinates.
Because of the powerful magical fluctuations, the gravel that had turned into black sand suddenly crackled one by one.
As Thor's figure appeared outside the hourglass, the inside of the hourglass rumbled as if thousands of firecrackers were lit at the same time.
"My hourglass!" The corners of Shaquille's mouth twitched and his heart was bleeding.
Although he knew this step would happen before the experiment, he still couldn't help but feel sad when the hourglass was actually worn out.
Thor walked out of the experimental chamber, feeling refreshed, his spiritual and physical magic power had reached a new balance. It seemed that all the hidden dangers caused by the previous pollution had been cleared.
At the same time, long periods of solitude also gave Thor a deeper understanding of his own strength.
In short, his gains, like the time he spent using the blood-sand hourglass, far exceeded those of others.
But no one knew this except himself.
Looking up at Shaquille with a distorted face, Thor smiled apologetically, but he quickly put away his smile and said seriously to the dean in front of him who was also a third-level wizard: "Dean Shaquille, please tell Lord Ophelia that I will go to find her in three days."
I promised my group friends to update more, although I am half a month late, I still did it! (End of this chapter)
