Chapter 1217: Astral Projection

After Lucius, who had never drunk carbonated drinks, was so angry that he left with a little uncivilized burping, and the temple was now left with the two young wizards who had just played a prank.

"Then now there's finally no one. Alan looked at the high platform, "This altar doesn't feel like a fake guy to me... Some don't belong to the wizard's power, but they don't belong to you and Helbo either. ”

Because it's true. Luna drew a circle with her hand around her, "I made everything but this room, and I wrapped it up." ”

"If you need to, you don't have to go around in such a big circle, you don't have to worry about it so much... Besides, it looks like no one died this time, which is not bad. Alan found a reason, and then nodded affirmatively, "Criminals with magical powers are indeed not as easy to get as many as Muggles, and it is not easy to deal with them by themselves..."

Luna raised her hand softly and pointed to the statue of Vicna, who had been blown to pieces in the battle.

Alan was surprised and asked, "Vicna, he is dead, isn't he, how can he still accept the sacrifice?"

"It is not easy for a god to truly disappear, and it will only really disappear when everything in the world is forgotten. Luna's voice was eerie in the dark, bloody temple, "but it's also dead, its consciousness and memories have been transformed into rocks and islands by the astral plane, and in this form they will be forced to float in the astral plane as if they were hibernating." ”

With his study of the Nether Scrolls, Alan had some initial knowledge of the place.

The astral plane is the space between the planes, it is everywhere, everywhere, and it is probably the most unique place, it is a completely spiritual world, where the spiritual power constitutes everything, it is also called the land of the mind, strictly speaking, it is not a specific space, so it is not appropriate to call it a plane - this is a matter of philosophy, your spirit witnesses the distance here, feels the space, and then you take it for granted that this is an independent world.

In fact, it is not, it has no space, it is separated from space and plane, it is a void sandwiched between the so-called real existence, some wizards and scholars think that the astral plane is just the superfluous part of the world after picking up, thinking that they are the ether, and some of the silent people of the Department of Mysteries believe that they are the background programs of the whole world similar to the operating system through the study of the stars, and they are not specific substances but affect each world.

Regardless of which argument is correct, in short, the astral plane is a link between all the world's planes. Whether it's the Otherworldly Oath that summons demons, or the Otherworldly Gate, which is the essence of a powerful teleportation spell even if it is summoned, it is all about allowing creatures to enter it for a short time and then use it as a transit station to achieve the purpose of fast travel, although this does not make him feel like he is really in the astral plane. And the principle of the Room of Demand is also through it to realize this independent space that is beyond the original world.

"The existence of divine power is essentially the embodiment of thinking, such as concepts, opinions, and the most important thing for ordinary gods - faith, faith is its power, unlike now, once the true gods lose this power, they will return to the astral spiritual realm where everything is thinking, and they will float quietly here, becoming almost forgotten memories, becoming an empty shell that once possessed terrible power, so dying is not the end of life in the mortal sense. Luna stroked her belly and said, "They were once great beings who ruled the world, but now they have fallen here..."

"So... What does this sacrifice have to do with how you become a true god?" Alan asked softly, "So that means if this concept and belief are reactivated, and there is a faith, such as Vic, then it may return to the human world... It doesn't sound too bad. ”

"Maybe you can't be this kind of true god?Maybe you can become this kind of true god?Maybe you can't be nothing?" Luna's expression changed back to a trance, "This form is not very reliable, and Helmo is hardly Helbo anymore, so I have to take a closer look at the real guys myself, why are the gods who escaped from this world unaffected?"

"With this altar to learn the secret from Vikna?" "Alan cleared some of the context after learning the information, looking at the severed hands and eyeballs on the ground, "We sometimes think of the mind as an unstoppable weapon, and sometimes it is a curse that we can't escape. ”

"Yes, this kind of discovery of God's truth... It seems that it is a forbidden thing for the god of death, and something that has a lot to do with a true god will be sensed by him, so he came over without preparation. Luna's long golden curls dangled behind her, and she reached for Alan's waist bag, "But I wasn't prepared, I was going to wait until you all left, so I didn't have time to get the bag, you should have it in the bag." ”

With that, Luna simply poked her head and upper body into her fanny bag and rummaged through it, and soon she had a silver stirring stick in her hand that she used to stir some special herbs in her Potions class, and then selected the Hufflepuff gem printed with thirty-seven cow pills from Alan's gem pile, which was actually an Iostone.

"Astral Projection, follow the altar that is still connected to the dead Vicna," Eren understood Luna's plan in an instant, "I'll have someone come and guard it, or I'll go and see?, I haven't really been to that place." ”

"I'll have to see for myself, we can't go both... You can fight against the Grim Reaper Incarnation, but they can't, and if they can, we don't have to protect it. Luna shook her head, "I've been there myself, where there's no gravity, no up and down, no left and right. Except for the occasional change in gravity in position, almost all areas are gravity-free. It's very easy to change positions there, you can move by thinking about it, even if you only have half of your brain left, you can move there quickly, there is no air, you don't have to breathe or eat. Luna took the potion stirrer and gestured at the back of her head, looked at Allen's expression and said softly, "Don't worry about me, that is the world of thinking, your intelligence perception will replace your strength and agility, that is the world of thinking, and it can be regarded as my home field..."

Without a defense, Alan simply asked for details: "How long will it take?"

"It won't be long. Luna responded, "Actually, there is no real time in the astral plane, just as it does not have a real spatial existence, and the passage of time is felt in it, but in fact it is only an illusion, and no matter how long you stay there, there is nothing old and decaying, because time does not really pass." Luna said ethereally, "But once the Astral Traveler leaves the Astral Plane, similar to the result of a normal time turner going back in time for too long, all the lost time will immediately haunt him, I will stay in it for thirty years and I will still be the same as I am now, but when I come back I will instantly age into my forties... Because in other worlds, at least most of the worlds, the rules of time passage are normal and cannot be escaped... But the regenerative ability of creatures like trolls won't trigger, but luckily healing magic is still useful..."Luna touched Allen's cheek, "So don't worry, the two of us are on different paths to the power we are seeking, and we both need to keep moving." ”

Seeing that Luna patiently explained to herself, knowing that she wanted her peace of mind, Alan didn't ask but changed her words, "I won't let anything break the silver thread." ”

"Luckily, there are very few things that can break this silver thread. Luna nodded, put the silver rod in her ear, and flipped her wrist, the red zircon held in her slender white palm.

Then, Luna's long hair rose without wind, and a red glow emanated from the red zircon. The silver rod seemed to be attracted to Luna's hair, and it was tangled in the hair and came to the back of her head, and then the silver rod quickly lengthened, gradually turning into a thin silver thread, connecting to the center of Luna's butterfly bone.

It was also the first time that Eren had seen the astral projection cast in person, and although he also used this spell but he didn't usually have the opportunity to use it, it was more of a common spell used by powerful wizards in ancient times at the beginning of their journey to death, and it was recorded in some travelogue biographies.

Astral projection is the ability to project Luna's soul from her physical body by freeing her from her physical body, which then allows her to fully project an astral body on another plane. Then she projected her astral self onto the astral realm, and her original physical body remained in the original world. When Luna was in the Astral Plane, her Astral Body was always connected to her original body by a silvery cord. If this silver wire breaks, your astral form and body will be killed. Theoretically, she could travel through the astral plane indefinitely, and her body would be in suspended animation until she decided to return her soul to her body.

Or until it is terminated by other external factors—such as the severance of the silver thread or the destruction of Luna's body.

Luna opened her arms and made a gesture of begging for Alan to face her, and Alan quickly stretched out her arms and opened them, but she didn't let herself touch the other party for the time being—otherwise, if she touched the other party before she entered, his soul might be brought in together.

"I'm ready, don't worry about the kid, it'll continue to be in my belly over there, but I've been to the astral boundary in advance..."As she spoke, Luna's big-bellied soul flew out of her flesh and body, and her originally warm body was in a state of suspended animation, and she began to fall forward and be hugged by Alan.

Alan was a little shy at this time, of course, not because he was holding the old husband and wife, but because he had been thinking about the child and his daughter before, and ignored the fact that the soul of the child itself would also be taken by his daughter and horse.

He grabbed Luna's warm body and held her tenderly in his arms.

At this time, the soul state Luna also had a silver wire behind her back that was connected to the silver wire behind her original body, and she flew directly to the huge Vikana mark on the high platform, and then suddenly opened a portal similar to the Otherworld, but the edge was just a portal composed of mist.

The astral scene that flashed out temporarily, Alan noticed the infinite vastness of the void in front of him, and it seemed to be expanding, it looked like a spider web with shining dew drops or a silver void, like a silver point of light in the cosmic starry sky, but in fact they could be the same thing as the glowing chunks of suspended matter near the portal, scattered randomly in the sky.

Luna's soul was sucked in in an instant, and the portal shrank so that it almost disappeared and could not see anything, except for the thickness of the silver thread, which was also taut like flying a kite.
