Chapter 6: Creation (4)
"I thought you wouldn't come looking for me," Willy sobbed, leaning against Rhaegar as if she were afraid that she would disappear if she left a little bit, "why didn't you come to me earlier?"
Reaching out to hug the crying 'female' warrior and gently patting her on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, Rhaegar turned her gaze to the rest of her companions.
"I'm so glad to see you again," he said with a smile, "and you can see that you've all made great progress." β
"Only the unenterprising will stand still," said Heim calmly, "and that would mean self-destruction." A sincere smile appeared on his calm face, and the 'spirit' strode up to Rhaegar and shook hands with the other party.
"We've traveled a lot," said Nack, who followed the spirit, "and I wish you could be with us." β
"We're together again, aren't we?" said Regar gently, then looking at the tomahawk who was still muttering quietly, "I've got some good things for you, and if you're still there complaining, I'll have to share fifty years of fiery wine with the others." β
For the dwarves, this phrase is more useful than any comfort, "I will not be obsessed with a little thing!" he proclaimed, "All dwarves are people with big hearts. β
"How did you find us?" asked Heim at night, slowly sipping the wine that Rhaegar had brought, "You know, this place is at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from your mage tower. β
"It's just a few small spells," Rhaegar added a piece of firewood to the fire, "Don't forget, you're in front of a forbidden mage, at least on this continent, I haven't heard of a few people who are stronger than me." β
"You didn't come just to see an old friend, or to bring us these drinks," Heim said, "What's wrong?"
"Little things," Rhaegar said, "but among the people I know, only you can help." β
"What's that?" Rhaegar said to get the tomahawk in high spirits, "Demons, monsters, or angels?" he waved his arms aggressively, "Whoever your enemies are, my axe is getting impatient now." β
For a dwarf, there is nothing that excites him more than fighting a powerful opponent, and in his opinion, an existence that can force Rhaegar to ask for help will undoubtedly greatly satisfy his fight***.
Willy didn't speakβthe 'female' warrior rarely expressed her opinion in Rhaeggar's presenceβshe just grabbed Rhaeggar's hand lightly as a way to show her decision.
"No, it's not that serious," reassured Rhaegar with the concern and support of his friends, and he hurriedly explained, "I didn't encounter any enemies, it was really a small thing, but it meant a lot to me. He looked around at his companions sitting around the fire, "I'm afraid you'll have to stop your expedition, because you'll probably have to stay in the same place for a long time." β
"This is the place you are talking about?" Haim, who came out of the long-distance magic teleportation array, looked at the 'hole' and 'hole' in front of him, and his eyes 'revealed' with a shock that could not be concealed - although he did not understand magic, the 'spirit' spirit knew very well what kind of knowledge and power it needed to create life. At this moment, he suddenly realized that although he and the others had also made great progress, the gap between them and Rhaegar was not getting smaller and smaller, but getting bigger and bigger.
"You can go to the pool over there and take a dip, it will do you good. Rhaegar said to the pale Tomahawk and Nack, "Don't worry, it's normal, many people feel dizzy and uncomfortable the first time they pass through the long-distance magic teleportation array, and it will be fine soon." β
"One of my soul fragments built this place," Rhaegar said, turning back to the 'spirit'. He briefly explained the origin of the place, and then stated his purpose: "I want you to help me take care of them. With a wave of his hand, a curtain of light appeared before everyone's eyes, and a scene in a pool filled with water of life appeared in front of them.
"Undead!" Everyone immediately recognized the translucent figures suspended in the water, but only the battle axe reacted the most 'fiercely', "Don't worry, my Kroll axe happens to have one of the effects against the undead, I only have a part of it, but I believe it is enough for them......"
A massive slap on the head interrupted him, and Nack's reminder made Tomahawk quickly realize his mistake, and even the dwarf, who had always been unscrupulous, felt more embarrassed than ever before, and his face turned red for the first time.
"You know, I didn't mean that," he stammered to Rhaegar "they're undead, they shouldn't be in this world, I'm just ......"
"I think the dwarves are just too nervous," Willy grabbed Rhaeggar's arm without a trace, and at the same time raised her head, her face filled with a smile that was brighter than the 'spring' light, "you just said that we should take care of them, what do we need to do?"
"These geists can ignore most of the obstacles in this world," Rhaegar said, "and they will be my most powerful tool for finding soul fragments, but they must first be enlightened." Rhaegar looked at his companions, "Creatures with flesh and blood and bodies can naturally develop wisdom in the process of gestation, unlike geyrs, who can only gain wisdom through another path. β
He paused slightly, then continued: "I need some people with strong willpower, under the effect of my magic, their 'spirit' divine power will continuously impact these geists, and when the impact reaches a certain level, they can be made to have consciousness and wisdom due to the stinging of the outside world. β
"It should be noted that this impact does not destroy them, but can leave traces deep enough in them that these traces bear the imprint of some of the impactor's experiences so that, while gaining consciousness, they will share certain memories and opinions of the impactor. Rhaegar continued, "Because of this, I can't find anyone else to do this work - I don't know anyone else in this world who will never betray me but you. β
Everyone fell silent, they were not afraid of any powerful enemy, they could give their lives for the sake of their partners, but sharing memories with a group of geists was another matter, even dwarves had their own secrets, and no one wanted to let these secrets *** in front of anyone else's eyes.
"Is it just to share certain experiences?" Willy asked, after a moment, "instead of taking these things away from our memories?"
Rhaegar nodded, "No one can deprive another person of their memories, not even the gods, the most they can do is cover them up and make them inaccessible. In addition to this, it is also an excellent cultivation for you - you must know that for the warriors, the powerful 'spirit' divine power will allow them to have more control over their body and strength, and this impact can increase your 'essence' divine power. β
"I agree," before Rhaegar could finish speaking, Willy said without hesitation, "I'll help you with this experiment, no matter how long it takes." β
"I agree," said Nack, "I think my greatest secret is already known to you, and I have nothing to worry about." β
"I hate those geists," muttered the dwarf, "it's not easy," he looked at Rhaeggar, "and you'll have to treat me to a drink as compensation." β
"There are at least a hundred kinds of wine stored in the god of storms," Rhaegar said calmly, "and the least of them is fifty years old. β
All eyes turned to Haim, the 'elf' spirit remained silent.
"I think the 'spirit' power of three people is enough," Willy said, "we need to be guarded." β
"Actually, I need a helper," Rhaegar said, "and in my plan, the 'elf' spirit has a bigger role - his dexterity and ability to control subtle movements will be an important aid to my experiments, you know, it's a 'fine' job, and none of you can help me in this matter except Heim." β
"But I prefer to do it with other people," Heim said to Rhaegar suddenly, "As you said, this is a great workout opportunity, and I don't want to miss it." A smile appeared on his face, "As a forbidden mage, I'm sure you'll have a way to solve the problem. β
Rhaegar laughed too, he knew very well what kind of secret Haim was hiding in his heart, and he understood the other party's hesitation, which was why he didn't intend to force the 'elf' spirit to participate in the activity, but apparently, he guessed wrongβand it made him happy.
"You can take a break," Rhaegar said, "and we'll start experimenting tomorrow." β
In the huge magic circle, the members of the team sat cross-legged in four directions, and among them, Rega meditated in the same posture. A huge crystal hovered over his head, and the 'spirit' divine power from the team members was continuously injected into this crystal under the effect of the magic array, and then surged to the geyers who were inside the crystal under the guidance of Rhaegar - for these disembodied beings, the size is not a problem, they can grow to a dozen meters high, or they can shrink to only a point.
Generally speaking, even a low-level mage has much more 'spirit' divine power than a good warrior, but the members of the squad are not among them: after nearly ten years of training in that mysterious space, coupled with the power gained from their respective artifacts, although they cannot perform magic like the mages, in terms of 'spirit' divine power, they are by no means below a seventh-order mage. More importantly, in terms of loyalty, they are far more reliable than anyone under Rhaegar despite their lack of oath, and for those who have received the impact, this view of the future rider is likely to be shared, which is why Rhaegar chose these companions.
The experiment went well, and over the course of nearly a year, Rhaegar and his allies had given hundreds of geists their initial intelligence, and after being branded with a servile contract, these awakened geists were endowed with a certain amount of attack power, and now, these geists, known as the Explorers, are rushing to all corners of the mortal world in search of the soul fragments of the God of Judgment.
