Act VII: William Coulter's Quest (3)

While Frick is reluctant to think so, perhaps this is the case, and the mage has a deeper understanding of the development and practice of certain special "talents". They www.biquge.info theorize these abilities with an understanding of their role, so they can control these forces more effectively.

The street they saw now was entirely dreamed of the untapped abilities that lurked within him, but Dr. Kurt understood the magic that constructed this "dream" better than he did, and could even teach him how to immerse himself more fully into the dream world.

But in essence, this training on visual illusions was certainly not a gratuitous help from William Coulter as an elder. He's a knowledge-hungry sorcerer, and Flick's abilities are exactly what he needs to make the next step in his exploration.

In a mutually beneficial deal between the two, he teaches Frick how to use his ability to receive information to delve into his dreams, and Frick helps him build a bridge between the physical and the spiritual with his own abilities, allowing him to explore the truths hidden in the depths of the spiritual world.

He assures that the matter is not "too dangerous", and promises that the knowledge he is teaching now will be enough for Frick's ability to control the vision of his own will. These problems are ultimately problems with anomalous magical powers, and training in the wizard way is more effective than a scribe.

"As you may know, modern magical theories call this ability 'dreaming', but its essence is to allow us to enter the spiritual world. ”

While teaching Frick how to adjust the connection between consciousness and spirit, he also did not forget to talk about the knowledge of these techniques: "There is no way to confirm this with our current research, but the hypothesis has existed for many years - in the deepest part of the purely spiritual world, all souls are actually connected. In past religions, there were also names such as 'the deep waters' and 'the underworld', and the souls of all living beings have a similar nature, and with the help of dreams as a bridge, we can get a glimpse of them. ”

This involves not only the doctrine and spirituality of religion, but also the sophistication of theosophy theory, which is almost impossible to generalize into a whole system. Although he talked a lot, Frick was still in a state of not understanding

In Dr. Coulter's mouth, he likened the being of all the souls to one as some kind of colossus lying still outside the continuity of time and space, an existence that can be seen as almost the most mysterious force in the world, connecting everything in the world, in every corner of time and space.

And it is precisely because it is widely connected to all things in the world, so as long as someone can successfully get there, then he can have a clearer insight into everything that people call "reality", hidden in the past and the future...... Even the supreme wisdom beyond this is in his grasp.

The only problem is that the soul of a human being, or some other intelligent being, is at best a fragment of it, an insignificant fragment. With the ability of mortal things, there is no way to truly perceive its existence at present, and it is even more unattainable to enter the "world" in which it exists.

Wizards around the world have been studying it for a long time, and using dreams as a bridge is now considered a relatively safe and easy avenue. Some of the magicians with the skill of dreaming were hit and studied with the assistance of the Central Demon Academy.

-- But the results are not outstanding.

Because of the difficulty of exploring the deep spiritual world, many theories have not yet been proven, and it is impossible for a magician with special talents to force them to enter the spiritual realm when something goes wrong. What's more, this aspect belongs to the category of magic theory, and it is difficult to achieve anything in the short term, although a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in research, but there are no practical results.

In addition to the Central Academy of Magic, there are also some mages who study this direction, such as William Kurt, one of these people, and the spice of "experiencing the content of the book" that Frick experimented with last time seems to be a common sense that he is trying to put the relevant research into practice.

In this direction alone, he was already ahead of many people, and Flick's presence convinced him that he had a chance to push the limits of what he could do. In order to catch up with other researchers who have invested in this area, he has even decided to use all possible powers to explore the realm of the deep spirit.

Including a variety of precious spices and alchemy potions that use a lot of rare materials, even ancient spells that are considered "heretical" by the mainstream of the academic world have been used. By the time he realized that these efforts were still lacking, he had already looked beyond the ocean to the world beyond.

"In contrast to the theoretically existing neighboring nations, the philosophers of the eastern continent may have surpassed us hundreds of years ago. ”

Seeing the subtle expression on Frick's face, he added unhurriedly: "I know what you want to say, they are certainly inferior to us in terms of achievements in engineering research and practical magic, but we can't ignore their achievements in other areas because of this. Just as the magicians in history who have become legends have acquired technology that transcends their time, there are even a few of the mages in the east who have already glimpsed the face of 'that being'. ”

Passing through the vast expanse of the eastern side of the empire, full of archipelagos and empty islands, you can reach another continent to the east, which was considered the direction of the rising sun in ancient times, so it was called "Sasasia", and now it has become the way the nations call that continent.

William Coulter was inspired by the ancient texts he collected from various sources to decipher the techniques and potions used by the different peoples of the eastern continent. He must admit that these scattered experiences and techniques are still very valuable for reference today.

He learned some techniques that were different from the existing spell systems, and the Red Liquid Imitation used by the Fried to overcome it also came from this knowledge. However, the part that attracted him the most was a few people who were called "sages" by the authors of those ancient texts.

The ancient texts he had in his hands were from different eras and regions, but these authors were convinced that there were several sages before their time. They have the power to understand knowledge that is beyond the reach of the human intellect, and ultimately create amazing things.

Among the many sages, one of them set foot in the depths of the spiritual world - he created a special medicine that freed the soul from the bondage of matter, transcended the continuity of time and space, and finally set foot in the sacred realm isolated from time and space.

During that dreamlike journey, he exercised his extraordinary sense of perception and wandered through the history where the past and the future were all ambiguous. At the end of his journey, he learns a secret that no ordinary person can know for the rest of his life, and becomes a powerful sorcerer that no one else can match.

"What we're seeing now isn't even a ten-thousandth of what he's seen, but that's amazing enough, isn't it?" he motioned to Flick to look out the window, the people who didn't know it was about to go about their daily lives.

Little did they know that it wouldn't be long before the moon hanging above their heads would crumble under the force of their power, and their cities and their civilization would be reduced to ashes. It may not be an ancient and uncivilized civilization, but the past of the gods still can't stop itself from coming to an end.

This is the last memory of the city, and after the terrible catastrophe finally wiped out everything on the earth, the remaining races struggled to build a new civilization from the ruins. It wasn't until thousands of years after their civilization had passed away that a new city called the Gate of the End of the North towered over it.

Frick couldn't help but take a deep breath to settle the box's beating mind - he found himself inexplicably looking forward to witnessing the coming end.

How would he feel if there really was some kind of sage who used unknown technology to learn about the past and future of this planet?

Before civilization has developed, and even before life is born, will there be inexplicable creatures who stride among the stars and sow the seeds of life? And in the distant future, when everything is shattered and the last star is extinguished, will there be any existence that does not care about reincarnating everything again?

With his new awakening abilities, they were able to witness the eve of the extinction of their last civilization with the few remnants of their thoughts left in the land. And if you want to go further and get a glimpse of the reality outside this universe, I am afraid that it can only be said that "greed is not enough to swallow elephants".

"Don't go too far, there are dangers lurking in the spiritual world that we don't know about, and if you can't suppress your soul that has lost the restraints of your body and is extremely activated, then you may get lost in this boundless dream. Sensing that Frick's spirit was becoming a little unsettled, Dr. Coulter immediately reminded him.

The state they are in now is very delicate, and relying on dreams to go deep into the spiritual world cannot be achieved overnight, but needs to be deepened layer by layer. Considering that Flick has only recently mastered the ability to fall asleep, he needs to stabilize his mind so that he will not fall into this world too quickly.

Everyone's soul is just a fragment of the "source", and the closer you get to it, the more likely it is to be sucked into it, and then there is no way to leave it as it was. In other words, even if you can see deeper knowledge just by stretching your neck, you have to rely on your own willpower to stop it.

In order to avoid the worst, he must carefully teach Frick how to channel his consciousness so that he can better use his magic to dive into the world of dreams.
