Chapter 138: To Each His Own (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
As the "Frost Duke" Memphlast walked into the tavern, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, without a trace of lifeless quiet, like the frozen plains covered by a blizzard outside, dead and cold, eternal and unchanging.
"Thirty years is better than thirty thousand years?" The old man, who was probably a legendary magician in the soul realm, sneered, obviously thinking that the "Lord of Mystery" Memphices was once again exerting its devilish characteristics, deceiving others with exaggerated words that contained some truths, and it was not credible, "In the past ten years, you have rarely walked out of the 'Silent Iceberg', which makes me suspect that you have quietly descended to the Lord Material World, why did you come to my tavern today?"
He was reminding Lucien that the "Lord of Mysteries" was probably planning some kind of grand conspiracy involving the main physical world in the past ten years, so don't be deceived by him.
Memphel Haruha laughed, then walked to the front of the bar, sat down next to Lucien, reached out and took a bottle of "Flame Wine" and a bottle of "Water Soul Wine", and began to mix the flavors it liked: "Whether my words are exaggerated or not, you can tell Evans if you ask him, and even his own existence is the most powerful evidence." β
It looks like it's self-cooked.
Who would have thought that three legends, one bartending at the back of the bar and two sitting on high chairs at the front of the bar, with wine, glasses and dim candlelight, look no different from the scene of a normal pub?
"Huh?" the old man heard Memphhisto's repetition and began to face his words, "In the first 30,000 years of the ancient magic empire, there were legendary magic that came out one after another, and there was a complete division of factions. With a rudimentary magic system, basic knowledge of mathematics and astrology, attempts at various alchemical items, and the synthesis of bloodlines, can this be done in thirty years?"
Born in the post-glory stage of the ancient magic empire, he is like an old nobleman, nostalgic for the glory of the past, so although he is more concerned about the magic council and the development of the arcane, he does not join it. The same. It is also unacceptable that the ancient magic empire only took the first 30,000 years to complete, and the "arcane" only needs thirty years.
"Duke Frost" glanced at Lucien, who was quietly listening, as if he had nothing to do with him, and chuckled: "These thirty years. In the big picture. Insight into the mystery of gravity. Found the sun......"
It's not an Arcanist, and of course the wording won't be rigorous, if it's Lucien. It will certainly only be said that there has been a preliminary study and harvest of the nature of gravity.
"What, found the sun?" the old man interrupted Memphister as he wiped the dry fur off his glass, his eyes full of shock as he looked at it and Lucian.
The position of the sun, the existence of the sun, is a difficult problem that has plagued the empire for tens of thousands of years, and no magician does not want to crack this secret, and he is no exception, but even if he is a genius like the "Sun King" His Excellency Tanos, good at astrological prophecy such as Mr. Maskelin, and strong enough to be close to a god-like such as the "Star Master" - the first legendary peak of the Magic Empire, they have to bow their noble heads in front of this question, admitting that they are still far from the essence of the world.
And now, the sun has been discovered?
The "Duke of Frost" did not mention his purpose at all, as if he had come to admire the old man's shock, and he pointed at Lucien with a smile and said, "Of course, this is the discoverer, the creator of the system of relativity. β
"The sun you discovered?relativity system?" The old man asked hurriedly, what is the relativistic system? When he left the main material world, the magic council should not have a "noun" in this regard, but after a "short" period of thirty years, this world world became so unfamiliar?
Lucien didn't answer directly, and said with the rigor of an arcane master: "Strictly speaking, the main reason for the discovery of the sun is not the relativistic system, it is only one of the secondary factors. β
I don't know much about arcane arts, don't lie to me...... The old man said this spontaneously in his heart, and quickly took out the crystal ball that was covered with no knowledge of how much dust was covered in the road, and began to divination.
Since it was in the "Silent Hell", the effect of divination was very limited, but at this time, the "Frost Duke" knocked on the table and let go of the suppression of the plane, so the old man came to a conclusion: "I really found the sun...... What the hell is going on in this world......"
The sun has a special place in the astrological system and is also a special symbol in the realm of the soul.
"I don't know what happened to the world of Lu Dao, but a legendary peak has entered the 'Silent Hell', I should always come over and take a look, lest the 'Silent Iceberg' be besieged one day, I won't know what is going on with the Dao. "The Lord of Mystery" said with a warm smile, not like he had come to check on the situation, but as if he had come to complete a business deal with Lucian.
"Legendary Peak?" the old man glared at Lucien again, although he couldn't know all the high-level magicians and archmages of the council, but the members of the Supreme Council still knew the truth, thirty years ago, this young man definitely didn't enter the legendary realm, and in just thirty years, he became a legend and broke through to the peak?
"As far as I know, Evans has only been studying magic for fifteen or sixteen years, well, the year my predecessor has fallen completely, and he has only officially become a magician. "Duke Frost" added deliberately, and then said with a smile in the old man's shocked expression, "Now is not an ancient magic empire, after living in seclusion for dozens or hundreds of years, he can still become a big man who turns the situation around, at present, if anyone is in seclusion and does not care about the development of arcane, then maybe ten or twenty years, he will be completely outdated, unable to keep up with the times, not only can he not become the mastermind behind the scenes or the key force, but also will be crushed by the wheels of the times." β
He seemed to be laughing at the old man's confusion when he found that the world had changed greatly after thirty years of seclusion.
"Fifteen or sixteen years...... the old man can no longer express his thoughts in words, what can he do in fifteen or sixteen years?
After he used the crystal ball again to confirm the information that Lucian had not concealed, he let out a long sigh: "Your existence alone can indeed show how terrifying the rapid development of arcane art has been in the past few decades. β
After sighing, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he stared at Lucien deadly: "You just said that the Magic Council is only close to making a breakthrough in the progress of soul research?"
"Theoretically, so. Lucien didn't understand why the "Duke of Ice" wanted to help him win the trust of the old man, so he was a little cautious, "Old man, I don't know what your opinion on the nature of the soul is?" For example, if a soul has no memories of the past, and can never recover, and has no way of thinking and personality that it developed before, and even the fluctuations of spiritual power and breath have changed, can we say that this soul is the same as the soul in the past?"
"This ......," the old man mused, he hadn't thought about it without thinking, and the lady next to him was a stark but not extreme example of thisβhis special marking method kept the fluctuations of the soul unchanged.
But this question, which is both philosophical and difficult in the realm of the soul, is obviously difficult to answer, and the old man said after a long time: "I don't think so, the five main characteristics of the soul have changed, and it is equivalent to a new soul." β
"Then if we instill this soul with memories of the past, cultivate its past way of thinking and character, and use spells to permanently change its spiritual power fluctuations and breath, will it become its original soul again? Breath, but retains the original memory, so is it equal to the current soul?"
"For example, if the Duke of Memphresther occupies your wife's soul and simulates her memories and other characteristics, is it equivalent to your wife?
The old man looked at the "Madame" next to him, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was difficult to answer, while the "Duke of Ice and Snow" next to him deliberately "enlivened" the atmosphere: "In fact, for me, the most basic characteristic of the soul is the devil's core. β
"I wonder what you think, Mr. Evans, on this matter?" the old man looked at Lucien earnestly and expectantly.
Lucien thought for a moment and said, "I once went to the Necronomicon and saw the soul fireplace. β
"Necromantic Realm?Soul Fireplace?" The old man felt more and more that he had been abandoned by the times.
Lucien gave a brief introduction to the necromantic realm and the soul hearth, and then did not talk about his core research, but said abstractly: "I think that the soul should have a higher level and more essential characteristic, which is closely related to the 'soul hearth', and the specific situation can only wait for me to return from the ancient hell and then publish a paper to discuss with the arcanists." β
The old man looked at the "Flame Wine" in front of him silently, and then said, "I have some research on souls, and I hope to exchange views with you. β
As a legendary magician, Lucien smiled with satisfaction, and made a fair and just exchange with the old man about his current knowledge of the soul (which does not include the part that implicates other arcane knowledge and a certain model, because it still needs to be verified this time).
The soul information provided by the old man is very detailed, including his various studies on souls and two soul legendary spells, some of which are very cruel experiments that Lucien is unwilling to complete, and are looking for other ways to verify them, and now he has obtained information from here, and the old man has also provided him with information about the ancient ruins in the depths of hell, which makes Lucian more sure in his heart.
The old man also looked at the information provided by Lucien contemplatively, and kept rubbing his forehead, as if this subverted part of his past cognition, and said to himself inwardly: "...... In this way, the resurrection, the Lich's lifebox, the effect of the Sword of Truth, etc., can be explained in a self-consistent way......"
Beside him, the expression of the "Frost Duke", who had been smiling, became serious, and he looked at Lucien and said, "I came here today to ask Evans for a favor, and I will provide you with more detailed information about the ancient hell." β
Lucien clasped his hands and did not answer immediately, is this his attitude, or the attitude of the "Lord of Hell"? (To be continued......
