Chapter 859: Link Test, Open-Mindedness

"Mage Xia Duo, what should we do next? We will all cooperate with you!"

"Before the Elf launch their next sneak attack, we must link all joint operation personnel into a Mind Network so that we can communicate in time, react quickly, and coordinate tacitly!"

After speaking, Xia Duo explained the Principles, effects, and how to psychologically accept it without resistance of the 【Mind Link】 once again.

Do not be fooled by the fact that these people have verbally agreed; if they harbor resistance in their hearts, they still cannot join the link, and if the number of linked people is too small, then this alliance is completely unnecessary.

Therefore, Xia Duo explained it repeatedly without getting tired of it, just to make them lower their defensive psychology as much as possible.

……

After nearly half of the Advanced Mage arrived at the scorched earth area where Mailin and the others were attacked, Xia Duo began to link everyone's minds.

Currently, Xia Duo has reached the Seventh Layer of the Magic Net, and the total spell rings he can store in the Magic Net are 7*7*2=98; that is to say, if he stores only 7th Ring Spell, he can store 14 of them.

Of course, it is impossible for him to store all spell slots as 7th Ring 【Mind Link】; after all, storing spells is nearly instantaneous, and some spells used for instant Protection and escaping are also indispensable.

But even so, Xia Duo still stored 7 【Mind Link】, and having used it twice for his own team before, there are seven left now.

It is enough to cope with today's battle.

As for his own Spellcasting, he had only researched this spell a few days ago; he had previous experience in Spellcasting and was still quite proficient, but he had to cast it in front of everyone, and even without considering the risk of leaking secrets, if he failed, it would definitely be a huge blow to morale.

Having promised to link minds to defeat the Elf, if the spell failed during the preliminary preparation stage, how could others believe that you could lead everyone to victory!

……

Soon, the first link here began; different from the experience when there was no link, Xia Duo himself was now in a Mind Link with Niya and the others.

After this spell appeared, it did not project Xia Duo's consciousness again, but merely enveloped the thirty or forty Advanced Mage present, taking their consciousness projections to that unknown place of shared consciousness.

It was just that what disappointed Xia Duo was that out of thirty or forty people, only a mere eleven did not resist and joined the Mind Link.

As for the others, let alone joining the link, they did not even generate a consciousness projection; they were simply resistant, not at all as straightforward as they had promised with their mouths.

Even among the eleven who newly joined, most were people from Xia Duo's original support team; fortunately, the addition of Angelin made him feel a bit comforted, otherwise he would really have a headache!

——Someone else joined? Huh! It's Beilaila! - This is Niya's inner voice.

——Niya, is it really you? Is this a Mind Link? - Beilaila quickly learned to speak in the Mind Link.

——Mage Xia Duo, I see ourselves! - Angelin suddenly spoke.

Communication in a Mind Link does not actually involve real language or sound, but is merely a mapping in consciousness; the information contained within it is extremely vast, virtually a small part of one's thinking.

It is just that it is difficult for ordinary people to parse the various information behind this, unless they can clearly mobilize their Subconscious to analyze and obtain it.

But even if one can only "hear" the superficial sounds, it will still have an effect on the Subconscious, the most direct manifestation of which is the improvement of intuition.

This is for ordinary people, and Xia Duo is no longer an ordinary person; although he has not yet been able to fully integrate his Subconscious and Conscious Mind, it is not difficult to obtain Subconscious Information.

Through Angelin's statement, Xia Duo's Conscious Mind issued an instruction to let the Subconscious trace the source of the information, and it was easy to know that the other party had obtained the Perception information of the Scrying spell shared by Niya from the Mind Link.

After this information link was returned to the Conscious Mind, Xia Duo knew.

——Mage Angelin, this is the Perception sharing I mentioned; do you want to try the effect of tacit cooperation as if you were one person next?

——I can!

——Lord Xia Duo, I will try it too!

Seemingly to adapt to the Mind Link state as quickly as possible so as to strike the Elf as soon as possible, Mage Mailin also proposed to give it a try.

Xia Duo was very happy that someone was willing to try it voluntarily; the more people there were, the better the effect would certainly be. Next, two more people learned to speak in the Mind Link and also proposed that they were willing to try.

So, in the Mind Link, a (intuitive, superficial) "sound" was issued—

——Everyone who wants to try Coordinated Casting can open their Magic Net Perception information in the Mind Link, and then leave it to me; everyone just needs to act according to their intuition!

Although he had long expected that he would open part of his privacy to others, the request to open Magic Net Perception information right from the start caused four or five people to disappear from the Mind Link in an instant.

Xia Duo could only smile bitterly at this; the Magic Net Perception information itself is not much, after all, the Magic Net is placed there, and anyone can perceive it at will.

The information perceived is also relatively objective to a large extent, after all, the Magic Net objectively exists, but the problem is—

The moment it is perceived, the consciousness will inevitably react, and this reaction is the most direct thinking process, which embodies everyone's unique understanding of Magic.

It even includes the cognitive process of other aspects, which could not be more private.

Although Xia Duo repeatedly emphasized that he would not pry into everyone's privacy, in this Mind Link led by Xia Duo, it is almost impossible to pry into no privacy at all.

For many Mage, the mere risk of leaking secrets is almost unacceptable.

Sure enough, in terms of Joint Casting, even taking shortcuts is not easy at all!

……

Some people left, and some were willing to accept, perhaps because they did not realize the risk of leaking secrets at all, or perhaps they did not care at all.

In short, there were two more people than the four who wanted to try at the beginning; a total of six people opened their Perception information in the Mind Link!

Of course, what Xia Duo did not say was that except for Arcanist who had already perceived their own Soul, ordinary Advanced Mage would passively share part of their Perception information as long as they joined the Mind Link.

It is just that compared to the Intermediate Mage in Xia Duo's team, these Advanced Mage of the Seven Towers mostly have an Arcanist's heart.

Even if they have not started to advance, or have missed the best time to advance to Arcanist, they have more or less undergone higher-level Focus Training.

Even if they failed to perceive the Soul, they can to a certain extent reduce the outflow of Perception information in the Mind Link.

……

With the active sharing of six Advanced Mage and the passive sharing of other Advanced Mage in the Mind Link, the information Xia Duo could receive was enormous.

It is just that he himself could not fully analyze this information, or more accurately, his Conscious Mind could not finish analyzing this information in a very short time and could only leave it to the more powerful Subconscious to do.

He only needed to receive the final result; as for the process, it would not be too late to trace it one by one when he had plenty of time in the future.

In fact, he would trace it tomorrow!
