Hytrus. Osht was a Nether Arcanist, so it was only natural that he should be resurrected - no matter how unreliable the "little one's" plan was, at least if it was to achieve it, it would require a body that was also an Arcanist.
So here's the problem.
The Magic Empire of Netherduran has been destroyed for a century, and the class of arcanists who once ruled the entire main material realm has also disappeared. Even if it's like Asaph. The arcanist who has lived to this day like Augustus is not the second personality of this artificial intelligence in the floating city, and he can easily find it.
Although Gordon is not an Arcanist, his spellcasting system looks very similar to that of an Arcanist. The origin of Augustus, and his spell-casting methods also have some shadows of Nether, so it is not to blame that the "little guy" mistook it. The other party had been trapped in this mysterious space for so long before he discovered that he was such an "arcane master", so he immediately carefully planned to lure him to the Floating City, and then arrest him as materials to resurrect his master.
"And if you - well, the ridiculous part of your second personality plan, if it gets my body, then what is going to happen to your master's soul?" Gordon asked again.
Isn't it just an inflatable doll if you have a body and no soul to fill it?
The big guy said in a tone completely different from his other personality, "In the mage tower, there is a storage of the master's consciousness and wisdom. Once I was ready to get an Arcanist's body, I injected this backup of consciousness into it and resurrected it. ”
Can't find Heteras. Osht's remains. So he grabbed another arcanist and made do with his body.
Can't find Heteras. The soul of Osht. So it was directly replaced by its consciousness and intelligence.
In Gordon's view, the resurrection plan was really hasty and full of mistakes. For a paranoid, though. I'm afraid I don't care about that.
The body can't be found, so it's not too much of a problem to make up the number with the bodies of other arcanists, after all, it's just a skin. But the question of the soul is not just a matter of improvisation.
Although Gordon does not have a deep understanding of the so-called "consciousness and intelligence", he also has some dabbling. This is a special object created by Arcanists who used mind spells to copy their memories and personalities during the Magic Empire of Netherduran. Basically. If the human brain is compared to a computer, then "consciousness and intelligence" is a mobile hard disk that copies all the computer numbers.
Although it has all the memories and personality traits of its owner, the "Consciousness Spirit" is not a living being, and it has nothing to do with the "Spirit" at all. It doesn't actively learn and can only respond to preset requirements. Basically, it's a rigid piece of information and numbers.
"Integrating the master's 'consciousness and intelligence' into the body of any arcanist, what is cobbled together is definitely not the master." The big guy continued, "But it doesn't think so. The 'little one' insists on being a creature that has been resurrected through his own plan. It is the resurrected master and the most suitable heir to this floating city. ”
After listening to the big guy's story, Gordon finally understood what his other personality was planning.
Since the big guy and the little guy are one and the same duo. Therefore, although two people have independent personalities, their memories and experiences can be shared. Earlier, in the teleportation station, Gordon blasted the "little guy" away with a storm of missiles. Its body collapsed, but its spirit body channeled through the ubiquitous energy channels of the floating city. Returned to the hub of the Floating City.
And in the stage when the second personality is in an extremely debilitating stage, the "big guy" is the first personality. took the opportunity to break through the opponent's will defense line and learned the opponent's memories and experiences. So I also learned about Gordon's storage zài.
"Gordon. Master Freeman, I need a favor from you. ”
After the conversation, Gordon felt that the other personality of the artificial intelligence in the floating city had the possibility of further negotiation, and was about to talk to it, but who knew that the other party offered to ask him for help. Since it's helping, you have to be paid......
Gordon nodded, motioning for the big guy to continue.
"Because that unknown energy barrier suddenly disappeared, a large number of outsiders suddenly invaded the floating city. What they're trying to do, I think you know very well. ”
Gordon nodded silently. Whether it was the Northumbrårds, the Red Dragon Titanis, or the Golden Dragon Loloados, it was not difficult to guess what they had in mind in the face of such a well-functioning Nesser Floating City. Even Gordon himself had the same purpose as them - to get the floating city.
And the big guy, who is the manager of the floating city, definitely wants to protect this Hetrus. Osht's legacy, then all the other invaders must be driven out.
"Floating City isn't in great shape right now. Because it's not just me who can manage such a big city and run it perfectly. In these long years, the servants, technicians, and guards who originally lived in the floating city died one after another, and the magic guide devices in the city were not repaired and maintained. I was able to remotely control the magic crystal cannon to bombard the energy barrier from afar, but I couldn't pick up the tools to replace a crystal for the flawed magic guide device. What's more, now that the Temple of Power is under the control of the 'little guy', even if I want to repel those uninvited guests, there is nothing I can do......"
Gordon really wanted to make a sad face. I didn't expect that the artificial intelligence of the floating city was not only split in personality, but also in its "sphere of influence", which I really didn't expect.
The big guy now controls the Temple of Truth and part of the core center of the Floating City, while the little guy can freely control the defense force of the Floating City, so it can be said that they have their own advantages.
But now, if you want to repel the two Dragonborn legions that are fighting over the city, I am afraid you can't rely on these treasured books in the library. It is necessary to regain control of the Temple of Power in order to keep the Floating City.
And the big guy asked Gordon to help, which was to defeat the little guy and help him regain control of all the protection systems in the floating city.
"Mage, I'll take you to meet Atlas first."
"Atlas?"
"It's the master's consciousness and psionic energy." The big guy explained.
Although Gordon didn't know the other party's intentions, he didn't refuse. Because although the consciousness and spiritual energy do not have the agency of his own, the knowledge and information it possesses are still very worthy of his exploration. (To be continued......)
