Chapter 865: Artificial Soul, Alchemy Life (I)
After acquiring the Voynich manuscript, Sivi did not continue to wander around, but navigated the road, and wandered through a labyrinth of alleyways to a small cul-de-sac. =
At the bottom of the cul-de-sac is a somewhat shabby-looking wall, with a large patch of lime peeling off from the wall, revealing the cyan bricks inside.
Although there is nothing strange at first glance, if you are more delicate, you should notice that something is wrong - Stein City is a city built out of thin air by humans to fight against the demons of the abyss.
From construction to commissioning, it has never been more than a month. Why is there a city that can be considered new, but why are there walls that look so old that they can even be called mottled?
The reason is simple, because this wall is just a small illusion barrier.
After tapping on the exposed bricks of the wall one by one as if he had entered a password with a keyboard, the wall still looked the same, but Sivi easily passed through it and came to the building behind the wall.
This is Dawn's current stronghold in Stein. Location provided by Aesop.
"You're back," St. George, who was sitting on the sand looking through some book, greeted him, "His face looks worse and worse, is it really okay?" ”
"Don't worry, it's still going to hold on."
Xiwei waved his hand, and a confident smile appeared on his slightly pale face: "Anyway, I'm also a legend, not as fragile as you think." ”
"If only that were the case."
Sandler, who was sitting by the fire and tending to the Divine Bow and Bird of Paradise, raised his head and said, "Your face has never been better since that girl disappeared......
Sivi didn't tell them what happened that day. Anyway, now Robert. Velen had been thrown behind the Gate of Truth by him, and had been assimilated by Tungsten Ramo, no different from dead, even if it meant nothing more than to add to their troubles.
Except for the young Giraud, who had asked once, the other members of Dawn did not take the initiative to ask Xiwei about their natural life, but they were also experienced heroes, so it was better to understand that there were some things that they didn't want to know.
"If you really can't, you can stay here and rest first."
St. George snapped the book shut, and Sivi saw that the title of the book on the cover was "The Knight's Self-Cultivation": "It doesn't matter if you leave their negotiations with Junes to me, although the strength is not as good as yours." But I still have some experience with stealth...... Once to rescue the kidnapped son of a grand duke. I've infiltrated a thief's camp and not been revealed. ”
"Don't worry, I can handle it...... Although I want to say this, I have to say that you are just right to mention yì. ”
Sivi looked at the first best friend he had made in this era: "For the next period of time, I need to conduct an alchemy experiment. I really can't spare much time to continue negotiating with them. The dawn will only trouble you. ”
"No problem. Keeping one's word is also one of the virtues of a knight. ”
St. George agreed without hesitation.
This building was the residence provided by Aesop, and the abode prepared by Aesop, who was an academic magician, naturally also had its own alchemical room.
Although, due to the difficulty of preservation, there are almost no useful magic materials. But it's well equipped.
After greeting the others, Sivi plunged headlong into the alchemy room, and while reading the Voynich Manuscript, he prepared for the alchemy experiment.
The content of the test is naturally to create alchemy life.
The earliest days of alchemical life were put forward by the magicians of Endymion, and the theory was perfected through guò practice.
Ordinary life is generally made up of two parts, the soul and **.
The soul is the core, and ** is the carrier that carries this core.
If it is alchemy life, the ** as a carrier can be realized in various forms - such as a living building or something......
The key is the soul. Since the time of Endymion, there have been two ways to solve the problem of the soul of alchemical life.
One is to use a ready-made soul, after a certain process of transformation, into the body of alchemical life. It's just that the purest souls only exist in the soul realm, so the souls used in that era were basically just the souls of ordinary creatures.
And the alchemy life created by this method can easily collapse in the end because it can't withstand too much mental pressure, or even turn into a monster.
In addition, the inhumane act of transforming the soul was not commendable, so Endymion later banned the creation of this alchemical creature.
The second method is to create an artificial soul from scratch, imitating the composition of the soul.
The soul is the most wonderful creature of the world, the authority of the true gods, and each soul is unique, and although it can be divided, even after it is divided, it is still unified.
Even the strongest magicians can't create a true soul, and all they can do is imitate the composition of the soul as best they can.
Even the work alone was so difficult that no magician ever succeeded in reproducing this technique from the end of the mythological age until later generations. Even in later generations, alchemical life was once thought to be just a rumor.
Even if Sivi hadn't had bought the Voynich manuscript and found a lot of information and technology in it that had plagued him for a long time, it would have been very difficult to do such a thing.
"Originally is the core of the soul, the source of the will, the source of what is called self-consciousness."
The magicians of Endymion believed that the soul was divided into three layers, and that the central place was called the 'self-fire', which was the most crucial place for living beings to be self-aware and distinguish them from those with mutilated souls.
This was one of the most important steps that had previously plagued Sivi, but with the help of the Voynich manuscripts, this original problem was solved.
"I see, what matters is not how to 'generate consciousness', but how to 'know oneself', and only by knowing oneself can one distinguish oneself from external objects...... Oh, that's a whimsical idea! ”
While sighing something, Xiwei's hands did not stop at all.
In fact, addicted to alchemy, he was not even aware of the passage of time.
If there had been a window in the alchemy room, the time would have already changed from afternoon to midnight when the moon traveled to midnight. (To be continued!)
