Chapter 40: Codex of the Dead
"The world of the living no longer cares for me, and the door of the dead has opened a crack in me, and inside the crack is eternity and hope. I am not willing to die like this, I want to pursue the glory of July, and wait for it to shine again in the world...... "- The Codex of the Dead".
Alan returned to the courtyard and began to study the harvest of Mambres Canyon this time.
The Necromancer's Codex was acquired by accident by a necromancer, and the text is entirely in an unknown language. After a long period of research, the necromancer summed up the characteristics of this language, and tried to translate the annotations in Tunguska, and many places have also verified and implemented, which can be regarded as a direct bargain for Allen.
As the necromancer had guessed, the Necromancer's Codex was written in the language of the necromancer, with a lot of blank space left behind, on which the necromancer went on to record what he had discovered.
The necromancer has only reached the level of a second-level wizard in his entire life, and he is unwilling to stop here after wasting his years. So, the necromancer came to Mambres Canyon to open a temporary cave, intending to use the cold aura of the canyon to transform into a lich. If you succeed, you will naturally get rid of the shackles of life, but if you fail, there is no possibility of survival, and even your soul will be lost.
Apparently the necromancer had failed, failed to transform into a lich, and his own soul had fallen into an evil spirit, completely lost.
Although the necromancer failed, the Necromancer Codex he left behind opened the door to a new world for Allen.
When it comes to the exploration of the mysteries of life and soul, Alan can't help but be interested. He has always been curious about this mysterious realm that even science cannot observe, especially after the crossing.
However, due to his own limited knowledge and ability, Alan can only learn about some simple experiments and general wizard apprentice-level witchcraft from the Necrogenomic Codex, and there are also first-level and second-level witchcraft, but it is not something that Alan can master.
"Soul Shock, Shadow Stealth, and Curse of Weakness are the three sorcery I can master at the moment, and they are also more practical. Star, build a mission, optimize the matrix model of Soul Shock, Shadow Stealth, and Curse of Weakness, and incorporate it into the deduction construction. ”
"Ding! ...... on a mission"
Alan continued to read the Codex of the Dead, not trying to understand much, just as an interesting read.
"On April 28, 725 in Ankara calendar, I found a very interesting experimental ......"
"On September 30, 725 in Ankara calendar, the experiment was not going well......"
"On May 12, 726 in Ankara calendar, the soul resonance said nothing, and the experiment that took more than a year was declared a failure......"
It turns out that necromancers believe that all living beings have souls, so does human reincarnation exist, and does human beings really reincarnate in animals and plants?
With this question in mind, the necromancer began a series of experiments.
First of all, by chance, he successfully captured the simple consciousness of a plant through the consciousness induction method. However, the consciousness is very fragile and cannot withstand the spiritual invasion of the wizard, and it will be shattered and disappear without a trace in an instant.
If plants are not good, he will put them aside for the time being, and he will turn to the study of animal consciousness.
The consciousness of animals is easy to deal with, not so fragile, but when he is almost done with it, he gets tired of it, and he can't help but be curious about human consciousness.
He began to hunt down the lonely, mentally torture them, and even explore the mysteries of the human brain as if he were dissecting small animals.
After a year of various research, he discovered the human soul particle. Just like the fallen leaves return to their roots, the human soul will return to the origin of the world when the soul is about to dissipate. As for the legendary reincarnation, it is probably the rebirth of the soul particle.
It's just that he has to wait until the soul particle is born again, but he doesn't know when he will go, and the soul particle is not something that a second-level necromancer can capture, and it is already an accident that he can discover the existence of the soul particle.
The necromancer's experiments have come to a standstill, and his attempts to illustrate the connection between the two souls through soul resonance have invariably failed. The soul realm is so esoteric that the necromancer has no choice but to declare the experiment a failure, and there is no need to continue exploring.
After all, strength is also a guarantee for wizards to explore the truth. Without the corresponding strength to study, after all, it is just a mirror, and you can't see the essence.
The necromancer's soul experiment turned out to be a bit inhumane later, and although it failed in the end, the experimental data he left behind was precious to the latecomer Allen. At least for now, Alan can't torture living people to do research, so these data have become the only reference source in Allen's hands.
The Codex of the Undead also mentions how to deal with ghost monsters such as ghosts, resentful spirits, evil spirits, and fierce spirits, and the most effective ones are direct means such as first-level witchcraft soul dementorship and soul suppression. If the strength is not good, then you have to use external objects, the soul bowl can collect ghosts and resentful spirits, and the soul killer can directly destroy ghosts, resentful spirits, and evil spirits, and it also has a certain restraint effect on fierce spirits.
Both the Soul Bowl and the Soul Exterminator require the support of alchemy or pharmaceutical technology, and it takes valuable materials to refine them, some of which Alan is unheard of, let alone made.
Luckily, there's the easiest way to do it, and that's the pollen from the sunflower. Ghosts are yin-type monsters, while sun pollen is yang-type crops that have a natural restraint effect on yin-type crops. Although the effect is far less than that of the Soul Gathering Bowl and the Soul Exterminator, it can still play a certain role.
It seems that sunflower is still a very common medicinal material, and it should not be difficult to get its pollen.
Alan directly asked the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to buy sunflower pollen, and by the way, he also sent Master Fang Yun's new masterpiece, a big knife whose quality and appearance are far better than ordinary weapons but are not magic weapons, and Allen has no intention of selling magic weapons for the time being.
After all, the impact of magic weapons is too great, and the auction five years ago was robbed of the magic weapon Slashing Flame Sword, and the sensation caused by it took a year or two to stop, and finally the gold coin chamber put the bounty on the shelf. There was no way, the middle-level knight seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he couldn't find any trace of it.
"Ding!The three sorcery matrices of Soul Shock, Shadow Stealth, and Debilitating Curse have been deduced, with a stability of 100% and a construction success rate: 98% of Soul Shock, 99% of Phantom Stealth, and 95% of Debilitating Curse. ”
"Well, the success rate is quite high, so let's build it as soon as possible. Alan went to the small courtyard to check the doors and windows, and after confirming that they were all closed, he thought about it, and hung a sign outside the gate that said, "The owner of the small courtyard is not away, please contact me another day if you have something", but he was worried that Jason or Miranda would come to the door.
Then Alan went straight to the basement and locked the stone door in the basement.
This kind of stone door was designed by Allen and can only be opened from the inside, and it is also to prevent accidents, after all, some of the wizards' experiments are very dangerous, and they are easily disturbed by the outside world, let alone the construction of the witchcraft matrix.
At this time, Alan is even more eager to have his own wizard tower. I once heard Anthony accidentally mention that official wizards can start building their own wizard towers.
In the wizard tower, the tower owner is the absolute master, even if he rashly suffers an attack one or two levels higher than the wizard, he can hold on for a long time, which is enough for the tower owner to deal with it calmly. Moreover, the wizard tower is extremely useful, and the high-level wizard tower is a movable battle fortress, which is better than the "Heavenly Palace" in the previous life.
This made Alan very yearning and envious.
