Chapter Seventy-Eight: Soul Control
"What do you think is the basis of the ruler's rule?" That's what the lich asked me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Absolute power!" I replied crisply, without any thought.
"Sure enough, talking to an undead creature like you about human domination won't lead to anything!" The lich preached helplessly.
"It seems that human beings do not rely on their great individual strength to dominate the vast territory and the people below," I thought about and said to myself.
"The ruler of mankind, although the basis of his rule is also power, but it is not an absolute factor, the absolute factor is that the people under his rule, the people support him, he will have a steady stream of money, food, and most importantly, it will have a steady stream of soldiers!
Although this world is a world of extreme power, for this kind of individual power, the power that determines the victory or defeat of the country and the pattern of the world is still these human beings who seem to us to be as weak as ants.
Even if you have the whole world, how can you be the king without a single person under your rule, even if a single magic can kill 100,000 people and destroy a medium-sized city, what impact will it have on the billions of humans in the entire world. Therefore, ordinary extreme forces will not change the general change of royal power, but can only affect part of the change of royal power.
But necromancers are different, a necromancer in its heyday is equivalent to an all-powerful army, this army is tireless, there is no fear, and there is not even battle damage.
Because as long as there are necromancers, there will be a continuous replenishment of living power, although this power is limited to all kinds of skeleton armies.
But enough for the flesh and blood of humans and the cowardly soul.
By the time the necromancer's army grew to the point of attracting the attention of the powerful nations of the world at the time, it was too late.
When they discovered that their so-called invincible army had been defeated in this sea of undead skeletons, and had been transformed into an army of skeletons, they panicked. After mastering this powerful power, necromancers have no scruples to conquer continents to satisfy their personal desires.
But at that time, they were not far enough to see the impact of this power on the living beings of this world, and the strength of the undead meant that the range of living beings was retreating, which was undoubtedly essentially damaging to this world based on living beings.
So I don't know when this world began to appear quietly, and the power of living beings opposite to the power of the undead was concerned and supported by all the countries and people under their rule as soon as they appeared.
After that, there was the appearance and rapid strength of the Cult of Life God, and I guess that the appearance of the life force is the choice of the will of this world, of course, this is just my personal speculation, and there is no evidence to support it.
Now to answer your previous question, the essence of necromancy lies in the control of souls, and controlling a soul is equivalent to controlling a skeleton warrior or skeleton mage, and after controlling a large number of them, an army is formed.
Absolutely carrying out orders, without any strength and room for resistance, without any opinions, without fatigue, without the influence of terrain and circumstances, such an army is a nightmare for every country. Everything is based on this step, the control of the soul. "The Lich exudes something called pride at this time.
"Oh, you think I want to conquer the world?" I asked the lich.
"I don't have this expectation from you, it's just that, as a necromancer, you don't even know the skills of a necromancer, and it will be a shame to go up and fight by yourself." Said the lich.
"I love the feeling of fighting in person," I said.
"Oh, what if you fight a human or a monster that is stronger than you? What if a crowd besieges you? What if An Ling goes to war with you? Do you have so much confidence that you can protect An Ling in the chaos of the army? "The Lich has several questions in a row that cut straight to the point.
Well, I probably can't do what the lich says, so I'll just follow him.
"Very good, let's go down, in fact, there are no necromancers in this world, summoning this kind of human bones to resurrect as skeleton warriors, this kind of thing they basically won't do." The lich said as he took me down.
"Oh? Why?" I asked.
"Because, this kind of skeleton is too weak, and the human necromancer has already had a better way to strengthen himself." Said the lich.
I didn't speak, and the lich will say it himself.
"A long time ago, the necromancer found a world full of undead breath and undead, where there were no humans, and soon after this world was discovered, the spatial coordinates of this world were slowly known by all the necromancers, so more and more necromancers went to that world.
That world is called the Undead World by the necromancer! It's the world you are.
When the necromancer exists in that world, it is in a rare soul state in that world, and the ghosts in that world are very imaginary, not as obvious as the undead in our world.
Soon after exploring, a necromancer forcibly invaded the souls of the lower undead in that world, thus controlling them.
Here I have to say that human beings are really a race that is good at using rules, and the undead in the undead world cannot be brought back to our world, but the necromancer lets the undead under his control sign a contract with himself, and with the help of the power of the contract, he summons these undead who exist in the undead world back to this world.
So there are two kinds of necromancer's essence undead summoning.
One is what I'm going to teach you, to control souls from dead bodies and resurrect their bones.
Another is to enter the realm of the undead to control the undead and summon them back with a contract. Although the undead in the undead world are difficult to control in the will of that world, as long as they are brought back to this world, they are much more powerful than the ordinary resurrected skeletons in this world.
Now that necromancers are in decline, the undead summoning of the latter necromancer has basically become the mainstream.
Although there are not enough of them, their strength is strong enough, which is suitable for a necromancer like this now. It's a pity that I've told you the coordinates of your original world, and you haven't dared to try to go back, otherwise I wouldn't have taken you to this kind of place to learn how to control souls and resurrect their bones. ”
The lich said a lot, but this information was very useful to me, because I didn't know the information of my own world, and even places like the Sea of Bones were told to me by Berkitt, the soul of the Holy See of Light, although I still don't know why Burkitt, as a soul of the Holy See of Light, knows about the things of the undead world.
I haven't asked him, and I haven't paid attention to them in my soul for a long time.
When we landed in the middle of the battlefield, no human beings noticed us, not even the magicians in the sky who passed us when we fell.
When we arrived at the battlefield, the lich had already released the high-level water magic of the Phantom Water Curtain around us at some point, hiding our figures, and on such a battlefield, there were not even magicians who were two or three levels lower than the lich's strength, let alone see through the lich's magic.
The Lich floated in the air on the battlefield where we fell, and except when he was in his own castle, when I saw him actually stomping on the ground, the rest of the time he was usually floating not too high above the ground.
I stepped directly into a pool of blood, the feeling of viscous blood, and the rich vitality and death aura floating around me, made my soul suddenly feel a sense of excitement, unfortunately, these people were not killed by me, and I don't know how to absorb these lives scattered in the air.
"Don't think about it, the wandering life force is not allowed to be absorbed in the will of this world, this is the choice of the will of the world after the undead invade this world, don't ask me how I know, the will of the world told me when I transformed myself into a lich."
I nodded, and the lich began to teach me about it. Soul information is much more convenient than ordinary human language, and it directly transmits all relevant things to me in an instant, fast and convenient.
After the soul sea quickly deciphered this information, I almost understood the necromancer's method of manipulating the soul, which was actually not very difficult, and I had even practiced something related to it before.
It is when I am trapped in the soul sea, I want to improve my soul energy to fuse the soul origin to break through the blockade of the soul sea, inject my will into the other idle souls around me, control them and absorb them into my own soul energy.
In fact, it's similar to this, but unlike those idle souls, the souls floating on the battlefield here have their own will, and after their physical death, their souls leave the body, but because of the huge resentment and killing intent in the will, they can't leave this world for the time being, and linger in this place where they lose their lives for a long time.
The first thing necromancers need to do is to use their spiritual power to erase the will that exists in these souls, leaving only their instincts and the basic skills and reflexes they have learned during their lifetime.
I found a very weak soul as the object of my first attempt, and the lich sneered disdainfully.
I closed my eyes and slowly mobilized my spiritual energy to leave my body, as if I opened the feeling of soul perception, although it was much smaller than the scope of soul perception, but it was much more detailed than what was in soul perception, all the existence in this range, including bacteria and dust, was clearly reflected in my soul sea, this feeling was really wonderful.
"Hurry up" The lich is urging me outside, I guess he can feel the range of my spiritual power, really, there is no privacy at all, you can also feel it, and there is any power that you can't feel.
Even though I thought so, I quietly brought my spiritual power closer to the soul I had chosen.
