Chapter 351: Speculation about Lilia's form
For Lilia, a half-flame elemental, Caroline spent more than an hour studying her inside and out with soul scanning, and she could barely find some of the reasons why Lilia was in this state.
Through her own research and Lilia's brainstorming recollections, Caroline believes that the reason why Lilia was able to become this state of being neither a complete ordinary human nor an outright flame elemental was because of the summoning magic she had performed at that time: although the magic guide book and the book with the relevant understanding were completely reduced to ashes and there was no way to find a basis, with her extremely rich experience in using magic, Caroline thought that some of the materials prepared by Lilia at that time must still have some mistakes, and the steps she used at that time were definitely incorrect, so that summoning magic was supposed to condense a large number of fire elements from the air to form the most ordinary fire element creature, but it was forced by Lilia to summon a fire elemental out of thin air without knowing what happened, God knows where it jumped out of nowhere
Different from the magic that had already formed a complete system during the Teutonic Empire, the use of magic in human civilization in this era is quite straightforward and coarse, and the classification and use of the method are also quite confusing: take summoning magic as an example, if the magicians of the Teutonic Empire used summoning magic to summon elemental creatures, they all condensed and combined the corresponding puppet elemental creatures without self-awareness and wisdom through the various elements existing in the surrounding environmentHowever, the summoning magic used by mages in this era is very different, and they prefer to summon elemental creatures from the so-called other worlds, because they have created a set of summoning rules without a teacher. The summoning magic in this era of human civilization is created, improved and passed down by countless magicians, magicians, witches and wizards, and this summoning magic itself is engraved with the coordinates of some different planes; This is the fundamental reason why Lilia would summon one of the most advanced fire elemental creatures out of thin air - the summoning magic itself inscribed with the precise coordinates of an abyssal plane. And Lilia, who didn't know much about magic at the time, didn't know how to choose what she wanted to summon, and as a result, when she summoned a fire elemental and didn't obey the summoner's orders and began to go berserk, Lilia was completely stupid
"Caroline, how did Lao Xie become like this?" After listening to Caroline's detailed explanation, Feng Longde glanced at Weisk and Richard, who were already dizzy, and Lilia, who was completely confused, and asked his old sister: "At most, you analyzed why Lao Xie's tossing summoning magic caused such a big mess, but you didn't explain why Lao Xie could transform into a fire skeleton as needed, so what's going on?"
"Exactly what's going on. I don't know. Caroline replied lightly, retracting the water mirror, "I only have some highly probable speculations, but since there are no hard arguments, I can't be sure that is why." β
"Sister, you're really cautious, but if you don't think the evidence is enough, you'll take it with reservations," Feng Longde shrugged, "Can't you just go and search for Lao Xie's memories for a specific period of time?
"I've tried this before, my brother. "For my brother's proposal. Caroline still shook her head slightly, "If the person himself can't remember." Even if I tried to search for the relevant memories, it was useless, the only thing I could find was that the flame elemental body must have merged with Lilia, otherwise she would not have such a strange body that was prone to rejection, and most importantly, she still maintained her original intact self-consciousness and memory, and did not have any soul level damage, but inherited the elemental core of the fire elemental and replaced it to make her soul stronger, even if I could know the detailed process. It can't be recreated on anyone else - Lilia's situation is too coincidental, accidental and lucky, there is no way to replicate it, and if you take the same steps by someone else or at another time, you will either be killed by the fire elemental when you come up, or you can't bear it when you fuse and die or your soul is taken away, Lilia can be said to be truly unique. β
"I'll you. Lao Xie can be said to have walked around on the edge of death and actually came back unharmed, with a superpower" Feng Longde raised his forehead, "Caroline, do you think she still has a chance to turn back into a complete ordinary human?"
"That fire element core has been completely integrated with her in her skull, in other words, no matter what form she is in now, her brain is the fire element core, but the fire element core in human form is just the appearance of a human brain, and if you act rashly, it will cause the consequences of destroying the soul and soul, and it can be said that there is no hope of recovery. Caroline replied indifferently, not caring at all about Lilia's face starting to become a little ugly. The main reason is that Lilia has been transforming into this form for a long time, and if it was at the beginning, I might have been able to get rid of this form, but now that this has lasted for at least three years, Lilia has perfectly matched the form of the Flame Elemental with her ordinary human form and can send and receive it freely to a certain extent, which is impossible to start, and this is the first special existence of the Half-Human Half-Flame Elemental Envoy that I know of, without any precedent. β
"In other words, I have no chance of returning to my original mortal human being at all?" Before Feng Longde could speak, Lilia opened her mouth to ask Caroline first, "From now on, I can only maintain this existence form in which humans are not human beings, and flame elementals are not flame elementals?"
"Yes, because the summoning magic you cast, the fire elemental summoned from some of the abyssal planes, caused you to merge with you by extreme surprise. And it's been so long that it's become a part of you so much that there's no way to get rid of it. Caroline nodded, "But Lilia you are different from ordinary fire elementals: you still retain your original self-awareness, self-knowledge, and memories, and you are free to move back and forth between ordinary humans and fire skeletons, which is the most fortunate thing about your current unfortunate situation." It can be said that as long as you relax and don't transform much, the only difference between you and ordinary humans is that you have a very high affinity for the fire element, and congratulations, Lilia, your lifespan is no longer dozens of ordinary humans, at most more than a hundred years, but close to the immortality of the deceased, but it is just close, and your lifespan still has an end, but it is too long, and it is almost the same as eternal life. β
"Can I or for a long time?" Lilia was stunned when she heard Caroline's last words; Even Weisk and Richard, who listened with their ears stunned throughout the whole process, and even Feng Longde were stunned.
"Caroline, you said that Lao Xie can live for a long time, I believe, I remember that elemental creatures are basically immortal species, and Lao Xie is estimated to be unable to run away from this half-person" After sorting out the clue, Feng Longde asked Caroline suspiciously: "But why do you say that Lao Xie can live for a long time but cannot be as eternal as the deceased? Is it only Lao Xie who is like this, or is it that all elemental creatures will be like this?"
"All elemental creatures live a long life, but they still can't escape death. Lilia is no exception. Caroline replied, presumably seeing that everyone, including her brother, was in a state of confusion. So I began to popularize the simple common sense of elemental creatures.
Life races have their own lifespan categories, and elemental creatures are no exception: all kinds of magical elements have a decline period just like the chemical elements in nature, but the time is too long, and the decline period is millions or even tens of millions of years, and this process is also reversible, as long as it is handled properly. It is not impossible for elemental beings to reach the point of immortality.
However, since there is a time limit, there will always be an end of time even if it is tens of millions of years - if an elemental creature fails to reverse the process of its own decline in this life course, such as the rebirth of the immortal bird phoenix, then it will face the complete failure of its body, which is the end of the life journey that no elemental creature can escape.
In fact, the deceased also face this kind of problem. It's just that they rely on steadily replenishing enough soul energy and maintaining the fresh state of their bodies through various means, and once they enter the category of the upper deceased, their own powerful souls will imperceptibly strengthen and repair their bodies anytime and anywhere, so they are not as worried about this as elemental creatures, time is not a particularly cherished thing for the deceased, but they are basically reincarnated from ordinary humans, and they still retain the unique concept of time when they are humansγ
After talking about the question of lifespan, Caroline began to talk about the possibility and speculation of why she thought that the flame elemental made it merge with Lilia, and this involved the issue of inheritance.
Whether it is a life race, an elemental creature, or a deceased, all intelligent beings are born with the instinct of inheritance: because of their limited lifespan, the living race will give birth to the next generation to pass on their knowledge and bloodline, so that even if they die, their children and grandchildren can still enjoy the knowledge and wealth they have created and accumulated; In terms of learning methods and comprehension, human beings need to be systematically educated.
Since the Undead Flame is mentioned here, I have to say a few more words- The Sacred Flame of the Dead is a mass of soul energy composed of the spiritual imprints released by countless deceased, as long as a certain amount of soul energy and dark elements are replenished regularly, it can burn forever;
According to the massive amount of information transmitted by Caroline, von Longde learned that in the heyday of the Teutonic Empire, there were as many undead flames in the entire empire as there were ordinary libraries, which shows how many people died at that time, and how strong the Teutonic Empire was.
To get back to the point, according to Caroline's guess, the flame elemental envoy summoned by Lilia at that time must have come to the end of the lamp, otherwise if she had summoned an ordinary flame elemental envoy, then Lilia would have been burned to slag, so the flame elemental envoy who was about to die of exhaustion had made a fuss because he had come to a strange environment that was completely different from the place he was familiar with, and he had set his sights on Lylia, the initiator who summoned it.
The way for elemental creatures to inherit the next generation is to give birth to a new individual from themselves, so that the next generation of elemental creatures can directly inherit the attributes of the previous generation. Strength and knowledge, as soon as they are born, they have a unique talent: ordinary elemental creatures born from the natural environment are generally the lowest level when they are born, but this new elemental creature born from elemental creatures is the highest level from the beginning, and with the combat experience and experience knowledge accumulated by the previous generation for a long time, they are born with strong combat effectiveness, and the growth space is much larger than that of ordinary elemental creatures; γ
Lilia is obviously the successor chosen by the flame elemental envoy who was about to be exhausted: according to Caroline's speculation, the flame elemental envoy is likely to have been depleted to the extent that she can't even give birth to a new individual, so she hurriedly transferred the fire elemental core that carried her consciousness to Lilia, who had passed out, in an attempt to use Lilia's body to be reborn; , causing the flame elemental to completely disappear due to the loss of control of the carrier carrier, and gradually became Lilia's current state.
It can be said that the behavior of the flame element is completely cheap for Lilia, a Russian female man who died, so that she inherited her excellent attributes and powers, but she did not inherit the memories that will definitely affect her self-perception, except for the slight regret that she also did not inherit the corresponding knowledge, it was completely a pie that smashed on Lilia's head, and smashed her happily (to be continued). )
