Chapter 39: Doubts
Is this science?
As a mage, Harvey found it incredible. Jiwen didn't chant any spells, didn't take the trouble to concentrate his mental power, didn't prepare any spell casting materials, and only used two props to achieve the attack and defense of the lightning system. Judging by his effortless movements, it seemed that anyone with no sorcery education could complete both demos. If these items were more elaborate, they could even achieve more complex magic, which is not good news for mages.
Quintus the Birdman was also shocked, and he was surprised by Given's mind. When he first came into contact with Given, he thought that Gilvin was just an ordinary alien warrior, but then he showed the talent of a craftsman, and now this guy shows out of thin air is more like the sages of his tribe studying. In this world of distinct professions, Quintus has never found a person as strange as Gilvin to exist.
Looking at the reaction of these two guys, Givens was very proud. This time, as an earthling, he finally felt an eyebrow raised. If it weren't for the preparation time, he also had a few examples to demonstrate, such as the surface hardening of large metal parts, the hot forging of large metal parts, the anti-penetration effect of simple composite armor, and so on.
These are the crystallization of science and technology that have been repeatedly tested by human beings in the long course of history, and they are something that is unfamiliar to the creatures of this world. The creatures of this world are too powerful in their spells and miss out on many opportunities to discover their mysteries. Just like the elves who could easily use magic to make a tree five or six stories tall form a treehouse, they would never waste hundreds of years researching the technology to build a skyscraper from scratch.
Not only that, but Govern now had a vague feeling that the crystal disks used by those hedron warriors seemed to be more akin to otherworldly technology than some kind of magic. The crystal disc seems to be the same as the earth's technological artifact, as long as you follow the right method, anyone can use it. If you can understand the technology used in the crystal disk according to the scientific method and integrate it into the world, you will be able to make your own crystal disk.
Ji Wen suddenly felt that his magic zero-order body was not so terrifying, with his brute strength and resistance, according to the science and technology in his memory, with the help of various magic crystals with different attributes, he might not be able to make a big killing weapon.
If you have a way to use something like a hedron to cause the isotopes of this world to continue to fuse, then you can probably be rated as a forbidden spell summoner.
Just as Given's triumphant thoughts, Quintus finally came back to his senses in shock. He muttered to himself, "Science is really magical, but the device is too complicated to use spells. ”
"No, it's not complicated at all!" the old goblin Harvey burst out of his merchant nature at this time, and his face was now excited, "Jiwen, you hurry up and make a few more pairs of armor that weakens thunder and lightning, this thing can definitely be sold for a good price!"
"Wait!" Quintus interrupted Harvey abruptly
Harvey turned his head and looked at Quintus the Birdman and asked, "Quintus, are you so afraid of this armor? Don't worry, I won't sell it to your enemy." ”
"No, I didn't care about that. Quintus looked proud, "I just want to practice martial arts with Jivin." ”
This time it was Given's turn to be stunned, he didn't understand why Quintus would suddenly make such a request.
Although Harvey was a little dissatisfied, he finally agreed to Quintus. So Quintus led Givens to a small rock mound not far from the goblin second-hand shop.
"Quintus, why did you suddenly think of practicing martial arts with me?" asked Given, puzzled.
"No, practicing martial arts is just an excuse, I'm just trying to confirm one thing. The birdman's expression was serious.
"What's the matter?" said Given, who became more and more confused.
Quintus suddenly asked, "Given, please tell me the truth." Do you have the power and the spirit to come after you summon it?"
Givens was stunned, he didn't know how Quintus knew the secret.
Looking at Given's expression, Quintus knew he had guessed correctly, and he laughed slyly.
"When I was watching you perform just now, I suddenly thought of it. If you were born with such a strong constitution, I don't think you would have thought about anything called science. ”
Quintus himself was a natural warrior, so he didn't know anything about what the craftsmen and sages were thinking. So he thinks that Jiwen should be no exception. Not only that, but Quintus has another piece of evidence.
"Other than that, I've fought with you. I feel like you're not familiar with your body yet, and you can't use it to your full strength. The last time you fought back, you fought back against my punch at a much faster speed than you normally would, and I think that's the true strength of your body. ”
Jiwen suddenly understood that all the neural reflex memories in his body came from his time when he was an ordinary earthling, and the way the cerebellum manipulated the body had not completely departed from the imprint of that era. If, as Quintus said, the two have not yet been run-in, then there is still room for improvement.
Givenn nodded, acquiescing to Quintus's statement, and then asked, "Yes, you're right!
"Don't panic, you have another thing to think about first. Quintus poured cold water on Given's head.
"What's the matter?"
"Jiwen, have you ever wondered why you, as a spirit, can you hit someone?"
Quintus's question sent Givens into deep thought again.
Yes, if you are truly a complete spirit, you should not be able to touch anything, not even be limited by ground and physical barriers. However, it is impossible to attack any other provoking fur except when casting. But every time, he used his brute force to hit the opponent with physical touch. What the hell is going on?
At this time, Quintus reminded Jiwen again: "I have seen eighth-order spirit creatures fighting, and they have one thing in common with you. ”
"Which point?" Given's never seen any other spirit creatures, and he didn't know how they controlled their bodies.
"They can also touch their opponents with physical attacks. And they can change between the spirit and the real body at will. Quintus spoke directly of that mysterious detail.
"How did they do it?" asked Jiwen, if he could switch at will, then the spirit characteristics would be even more powerful.
But Quintus shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I'm a warrior and not a sage, but it looks like you can solve this problem yourself, for example, what kind of science do you say." ”
Hearing this, Givens stretched out his palm, looked at it carefully, and then recalled the scenes when he was fighting.
Indeed, as Quintus said, the moment he punched, the fist should be real, and it also gave the effect of force. Not only that, but their own armor and weapons directly held can maintain their spirit state, and at the moment of attack, they have the same lethality as actual objects.
Jiwen suddenly discovered that his body, his body and the space around him would actually change shape with his thoughts.
He couldn't help but wonder if this was a special change in the state of matter, or a special field action, or a switch in parallel space.
But this kind of difficult problem is beyond Given's poor physics ability, and he is even a little annoyed, why he didn't travel through a digital library, maybe he can figure it out completely.
Givens fell into deep thought, and Quintus, uncharacteristically, waited silently until Govin himself sighed and looked up again. The birdman then asked, "Jiwen, have you figured it out?"
Jiwen shook his head: "It's still early, but at least I know what the problem is, and I'll figure it out one day." ”
Quintus fluttered his wings and patted Given's shoulder.
"Now that you've tried to understand your body, let's train, it's not easy to control your body. ”
From Quintus's expression, Given's sense that this training might be beyond his imagination, and he asked, "How?"
Quintus pointed to the sky and said casually, "Jump down from the sky." ”
