Sixty-two
Guderian was in the process of bunching his mental power into a small bundle and following the blood around his body to verify the conclusion described in Fortan Julilis's notes that human blood is composed of tiny cells, when he suddenly felt that his consciousness was being pulled and vibrated by an inexplicable force, and Guderian lost all consciousness before he could react. Maybe a year later, maybe just a moment, when Guderian regained consciousness, he found himself in a void and dark space again, and a female voice of "Guderian ......" kept calling Guderian.
In Guderian's perception, this was the second time he had come to this strange space, the last time was underground. Guderian suppressed the doubts and uneasiness in his heart, and followed the voice in this void and dark space.
Guderian felt like he was walking in the void, with no solid ground under his feet. Guderian tried to touch himself, but found that he was not a physical entity. Guderian concentrated, trying to perceive the world and himself, and finally saw himself as he was—a pale blue orb with a tail. Guderian remembered the scene he saw when Fortan Ullis fused his personality, could it be his own soul form?
"Guderian......" The ethereal female voice gradually became clear as Guderian kept moving. Suddenly, this void and dark world shone a huge beam of light from the depths of nothingness, and Guderian himself was sucked in by this light in his perception.
The female voice of "Guderian ......" seemed to be in his ears, but Guderian's perception was empty in the bright beam.
"Who are you, what is this place?" said Guderian calmly, letting the beam of light pull him.
No one answered Guderian's question, and the space fell silent. I don't know how long it took, the bright beam of light spread out like an open folding fan, filling the entire space, and the power that pulled Guderian disappeared. In Guderian's perception, a pink sphere with a tail was quietly suspended more than ten meters away from him. The shape of the pink orb is unstable, flickering and flickering, as if it will collapse at any moment.
"Hello, Guderian. "A young and pleasant female voice with a strange tone. Guderian couldn't say what the strangeness was, only intuitively felt strange.
"Who are you, what is this place?" Guderian did not know what he was talking about. Although he sensed his own form, he did not find eyes, mouth, arms, or anything like that......
"Hello Guderian. My name is Alice. This is the depths of your sea of consciousness. The female voice said unhurriedly.
"The depths of my consciousness, Alice?" Guderian wondered.
"Yes. This is a technology that your world does not understand for the time being. Well, in the understanding of your world, it can also be called a spell. Alice said.
"Our World?...... You're not from this world?" Guderian wondered, curious.
"Time is limited, so I'll cut it short. My companion and I came from a planet called Earth in the depths of the distant starry sky. Our fleet is running out of energy, and we are being chased by some powerful enemies, and we need to land on your planet to resupply it. But your planet is protected by an unknown barrier, and we have no way to cross it. Therefore, we use the technique of soul projection resonance to project onto you to communicate with you, hoping that through you we can learn about the barrier and land on your planet through the barrier. Alice said.
"......" Guderian couldn't digest too many new words and information for a while, and fell into silence.
The pink ball of light that Alice is representing is still flickering, and it may go out at any moment.
"I have injected some basic information of our earthlings into your sea of consciousness, and when you leave the sea of consciousness space to regain your physical consciousness, you will understand what I said. Alice couldn't wait for Guderian's self-understanding, and said a little eagerly.
“...... What are your intentions?" said Guderian. At this time, the battle with the underground races on the continent is in full swing, and there is another enemy beyond the starry sky......
"Rest assured, we have no ill will. Moreover, I have learned about the history of human beings on your continent from your horizon, and it is possible that we are still of the same roots. Alice explained.
“...... My horizon is the same as the same origin?" Guderian wondered.
"The technique of soul projection resonance makes me feel like I am leaning over you and experiencing some of the things you have experienced together. Rest assured, this technology isn't strong enough for me to control you. It's just a projection on you, a vision of you. Alice said.
“...... You were calling me before, too?" asked Guderian.
"Yes, but because of the thickness of the earth's crust and other reasons, that communication with you was not successful. This soul projection resonance technology requires a huge amount of energy to communicate with the target, and if we don't communicate with you successfully this time, our fleet can only support one communication at most. Alice said.
“...... Now that you have my horizon, you should know the current state of the continent. Where can we help you?"
"Don't worry, we don't need you to help us defend against the enemies who are chasing us, we just need to know the barrier through you. After the barrier is broken, we will not be against you, we will only need to replenish some energy. Alice explained with the utmost kindness.
"Moreover, we can provide you with some technical support so that you can have more force to defeat the enemies who invade you. Alice threw the bait.
"Technical support, do you have information about 'technology'?" Guderian asked.
"We have technology that you can't imagine. For example, the "flying machines" you hear can be seen everywhere in our fleet. I have injected these basic information into your sea of consciousness as well. Later you will understand when you leave the sea of consciousness. Alice said.
"So, how can I help? I'm just an ordinary soldier, I'm not one of those powerful and profound mages. Guderian said.
"You just need to gather the basics of spells and the detailed history of what happened on the continent thousands of years ago. Through the combination of historical fragments and some scientific information that you have learned from your vision, we speculate that there should have been no such barrier outside the planet thousands of years ago before the elves and dwarves left the continent of Lordaeron. Because in those legends, the origin of human beings was to come to the continent in a steel machine. So figuring out what happened during that period of time and figuring out where the barrier came from is the key to cracking. Alice said.
“...... That's it?" Guderian was a little incredulous.
"Yes. Isn't there an end of spells on your continent? perhaps, it has something to do with this barrier. Isn't your wife an archmage, don't you want her to break through the spell end to reach a higher level?" Alice said. When she said this, the images that flashed through her consciousness were actually the textbook teaching images of Guderian and Natasha, and even the images of Guderian and Freya, the leader of the spider-men, flashed to her. If she is in a human state, she can't say ...... Now I am ashamed of myself.
“...... You...... You say you have my vision...... So, isn't my every move in your eyes......" Guderian finally realized this, and every move of himself and Natasha was in the eyes of the woman in front of him who called herself Alice...... What is the difference between this and being in Spring Lake at that time and Natasha being looked at by those spider-men.
“...... Yes. Once the projection is carried out, it is impossible to disconnect the horizon for less than a certain period of time. Alice wanted to lie, but a strange feeling swelled up in her heart for some reason.
"When did the projection begin?" Guderian didn't dwell on the question of being seen all over, and that was it anyway.
"From the time you woke up injured and amnesia in the plains of Asgar. Because your head is wounded, there is a gap in the self-defense of consciousness, and we can project successfully. We had other target candidates, but they all failed, and you were the only one who succeeded. Alice said.
“...... From the plains of Asgard...... Is this soul projection resonance technique projecting alone or is there someone else besides you?" asked Guderian.
“...... It is a one-to-one projection, and the conditions for achieving projection are very demanding, and not everyone can use this technology. I am the only one in the fleet who has a certain fit with your soul. Alice said, she knew what Guderian was thinking. At the same time, when she said this, the strangeness in Alice's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Okay. I will do my best to gather information about the history of the continent. As for whether I can learn the source of the barrier you mentioned, I can't guarantee it. Guderian breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Thank you, Guderian. In exchange, we will also provide you with a certain amount of knowledge. Alice said.
“...... Knowledge?Through my vision, you should know that I need knowledge about the anatomy of the human body and the soul now, I wonder if you have any research?" Guderian was expecting. In the understanding that Alice said, the technology that these humans who claim to be from Earth should be able to master may be able to help him.
"When it comes to soul research, we are no better than your necromancers. But for the understanding of the human body, it is not beyond their reach. Of course, some of their spells are not beyond our comprehension. For example, when you were struck by lightning before, I thought you would die, but the potions that Lord Douglas gave you to instantly regenerate and heal your muscles, bones, and even internal organs are difficult to do with our technology. I will inject the knowledge we have about life into your consciousness, and it is up to you whether you can understand and master it. Or you can ask me about it the next time we communicate. Alice said.
"Next communication?" Guderian wondered, didn't he say that the fleet was running out of energy?
"After this successful communication, it doesn't need much energy to maintain the communication channel. Because my soul and yours have formed a state of symbiosis, in your understanding, well......" Alice's voice suddenly became a little shy.
“...... Symbiosis ......" Guderian remembered, and it was said in Fortan Ullis's notes that soul symbiosis could only be done by a magical contract. It was a long period of dynastic history when elves and humans fell in love, but because of the problem of lifespan, elves signed a symbiotic contract with humans, so that the vitality could be shared through the fusion and connection of souls...... But this contract has become a legend, and now the mages on the continent are no longer able to master this magic. I didn't expect that Alice's soul projection technology would form such an effect...... This symbiotic effect, according to the record, not only shares the life force, but also allows two people to maintain a certain amount of communication with a certain amount of magical power as long as they are at a certain distance.
Guderian was a little embarrassed at this thought...... I somehow signed a symbiotic contract with a strange woman? What is this......
What Guderian didn't know was that his relationship with Freya, the leader of the spider-men, was inexplicable. It's just that Guderian hasn't discovered it yet......
“...... Guderian, the time for communication is coming. The first successful communication of the projection machine, it takes about a month to cool your surface before the next communication, and it will not be so long in the future, as long as your soul strength and physical strength allow, you can communicate at any time. If, of course, there are no other surprises in the fleet. Alice said.
“...... What are the planets and the starry sky like?" Guderian asked suddenly, an irrepressible curiosity surging in his heart.
"The planets are round, and the starry sky is full of endless planets...... Well, when the normal communication is in the future, I'll take you to see it. Alice was suddenly a little playful, and instead of describing the starry sky, she planted a stronger desire for Guderian to explore.
“...... Round?...... All right. Guderian couldn't get enough of it.
"I'm gone, Guderian. Successful communication will leave no after-effects on your body. The last communication failure was that I was too eager, sorry. Your wife is worried about where you're standing, and my time is up. Goodbye, Guderian. As Alice finished speaking, her flickering pink ball of light gradually dimmed, and the light around her gradually dimmed, until the space returned to nothingness and darkness again. Alice doesn't have a high-speed Guderian, even if there is no communication interface, she still has Guderian's vision......
It was only after Guderian returned to nothingness and darkness that he remembered that he had not asked Alice how to leave. So Guderian drifted wildly in the darkness and nothingness, and it was his own sea of consciousness anyway......
