Chapter 18 The great magic goddess has a broad mind
"Do you remember everything I said?"
It was almost noon, and Alsace didn't plan to talk any more. The world of magic was endless, and step-by-step was the right way. He talked too much, and he might not be able to accept it.
"Yeah, remember."
Alsace nodded. He knew that Don Quixote's memory was very strong, so he said, "Remember what I'm talking about is only one aspect, the more important thing is to understand it."
"Teacher, I can understand most of what you said this morning. I can also understand the general meaning of what I can't understand. But I have a question that I still can't figure out! Why does meditation improve spiritual energy? Absorb pure
Material to supplement immaterial spiritual energy?”
"So what do you think psionics are made of?"
"Psychic power? It's just psychic power..."
"Wrong! The basic elements that make up spiritual energy are also basic elements. Basic elements constitute spiritual energy, and spiritual energy constitutes the soul."
"But teacher, the soul is not material. How can it be made of touchable elements?"
"Matter?" Alsace was very interested in the word Don Quixote proposed. "It's an interesting adjective. How do you view this world?"
"The world? In my opinion, basic elements make up all things, and all things in the world make up the world! These substances can be seen and touched, but the soul is not a substance, it is an aggregate of energy! It cannot be touched because it does not have the characteristics of matter.
The most basic feature is to occupy space!”
"Is this what your father told you?"
Don Quixote was stunned for a moment. When Alsace asked him, he subconsciously revealed his world view in his previous life, so now he could only climb up the bar, "Well, my understanding of the world is
He told me, but he didn't do much research on the soul. Maybe he did, but he didn't have time to tell me. I just guessed it myself."
"Your father must be a great alchemist. He has a very thorough understanding of the foundation of the world. What your father summarized may not be something many people would have thought of in their lifetime, and even if you tell them, they may not be able to understand it.
As for the soul, I think it may be a matter of the height your father is standing at. He is not a mage and has no way of contacting the soul."
"Is my guess correct?"
Alsace laughed a few times, "It's totally wrong! Just because you can't see or touch it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Everything in this world is made up of basic elements, and the soul is no exception. It's just that
, the structure of the soul is quite special, making you mistakenly think that it is not material! And the so-called meditation is to strip away basic elements from the world and add them to your own soul to make it stronger. Now you understand."
"learn."
"Very good, you can sense the Magic Network through prayer in the afternoon and evening. Your soul is too weak now. Extracting your spiritual energy will cause harm to your soul! Only when you can connect your soul with the Magic Network
, only then can you use meditation to strengthen your soul.”
“Why can’t we just meditate?”
"Because your soul attribute does not include basic element affinity. There are too few such people, and there may not be even one among hundreds of thousands of people. So you know the role of the Magic Network for mages."
"I see.."
"I'm going to continue an experiment in the afternoon, so you can go find a place to pray in the woods behind the villa later."
"What does your experiment have to do with praying to me?"
"When I first sensed the magic net, I was most afraid of interference. Whether it was the noise or spell fluctuations produced during my most experimental experiments, it would all interfere with your prayers."
"Teacher, what experiment are you going to do?"
"Pah!" Alsace gave Don Quixote a kick with a strange look on his face, "Go and pray for me quickly. Why are you asking for nothing..."
The silent grove, with its thick roots and branches, blocked most of the sunlight and looked very strange. However, Don Quixote was not affected at all. He even laughed a little at himself. In terms of weirdness, there are still zombies.
Are you weird? He walked a little staggeringly as he walked deeper. Because the life box was in the villa, he was not afraid of getting lost.
After becoming a lich, although only one day had passed, he found that many things he had once taken for granted had changed. When a lich chooses a corpse, the soul will attach to that body, composed of countless spiritual energies.
Tiny tentacles will be intertwined within the body, like neurons, to control the body.
Although the body seems to be alive and can blink and breathe, in fact, without the cleaning effect of tears, the eyes will soon become unusable, so the lich relies on psychic energy most of the time.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Liches do not need to breathe, but if you want to speak, you must breathe and use airflow to hit the vocal cords. However, once the lungs rot and the vocal cords rot, you lose the ability to speak. Similarly, there are other sensory abilities such as hearing.
Eventually, the lich will lose all sensory abilities and can only rely on spiritual energy to perceive the world and communicate with other beings. When the body also decays, it must get a new body, and then the process starts over again.
Most people who transform themselves into lichs are very high-level mages. They can use various spells to delay this cycle. For them, as long as they are carefully maintained, a body can be used for a long time! Of course
, and there are some more extreme lichs who will use spells to drain most of the water from the body and remove their own internal organs to fight against decay!
As for Don Quixote, there is almost certainly no case of transforming an ordinary person into a lich. For an ordinary person to invest such a huge amount and face the risk of death, basically no one would be so stupid.
Do. The only good thing about Don Quixote is that this body was treated by Alsace and the decay rate is very slow.
"Just here," Don Quixote stopped. Although he didn't leave the villa too far, the many trees absorbed the sound completely. It was already very quiet here!
His stiff body made him choose the most comfortable position, lying down and praying. As for praying, Alsace did not tell him exactly how to do it, he just said that he had to be pious!
So Don Quixote, who was lying on the ground, thought for a moment and began to pray slowly, "Her Highness Mythra, the great goddess of magic, your subject Don Quixote offers you the most devout faith! In exchange for it,
The right to use the magic net! You are the combination of beauty and wisdom, the embodiment of hero and justice. No one in the whole world does not respect and love you. The flowers in winter will bloom for you when they see you. The birds flying high are attracted by your
Impressed by your beauty, I stopped flying to appreciate your appearance. The fish in the water felt inferior because of your beauty and sank to the bottom of the water. When the moon saw you, it hid in the clouds because of its inferiority. When the flowers saw you, they were so shy that they stopped opening.
.”
Just when Don Quixote was about to continue speaking, a feeling of sleepiness came over him and he closed his eyes involuntarily. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was back in the sea of consciousness, still in the familiar place.
The night sky, the familiar water-like ground, and the sofa! And a few cigarette butts on the ground.
At this time, a light spot appeared in the endless night sky. It became brighter and brighter. When it got closer, Don Quixote could see it clearly. At this time, there was a channel composed of starlight. Finally, the channel connected to Don Quixote.
The ground that Virtue steps on is like water!
"This is?"
Just when Don Quixote was guessing what it was, a thought appeared directly in his mind, "I am the goddess of magic, Mythra, and I accept your prayer. The contract is established!"
"So, is this the so-called magic network?" Then came the basic elements that surged through the channel, filling the entire sea of consciousness...
"Damn it, what's the problem?" Seeing that the corpse he finally dug up was once again destroyed by the magic circle and turned into a human shape, Arthas was a little annoyed, "Is it because of the selection of materials?
It seems that we need to change a batch of materials for testing!"
"Huh?" Alsace suddenly raised his head, and then disappeared into the villa with a flash of blue light. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Don Quixote.
Alsace could feel that through the magic network, countless basic elements around him were being plundered and sent into Don Quixote's soul!
"This...what kind of trainee mage is this? Even a formal mage can't devour basic elements so fast when meditating!"
At this time, the spiritual energy content in Don Quixote's soul is increasing at a flying speed!
"Even if his soul attributes are special, there's no need to be so exaggerated..."
