Chapter 64: Necromancy (4)
Long Tianxiang was silent. He remembered that the book said that necromancers often killed in large numbers and fought for the resurrection of corpses. But now it seems that there should be a deeper reason for this.
The skeleton continued: "The spirit and the flesh are intimately connected. The body is the basis for the existence of the soul, and the soul adjusts the body to make it orderly. Necromancy is also performed with the release of the soul mind, which is no different from elemental magic. The difference is that necromancy does not control the elements, but other souls, and thus the body. It is impossible to achieve this without understanding the structure of the body and its relationship to the details of the soul.
If you become a corpse, your soul will be destroyed, but it will have more or less remnants. Because of this, necromancers need corpses, lots of corpses. Without a corpse, a necromancer can barely learn any magic, let alone conduct soul or physical research."
Long Tianxiang said: "Is there a corpse here?"
The green light in the skeleton's eyes lit up. For Long Tianxiang has no aversion to the dissection of corpses, it cares a little, but it has to continue to observe. It raised its hand slightly, and a yin wind blew in from the entrance, bringing with it the black-eyed four. The black eyes that had fainted were falling at Long Tianxiang's feet.
The skeleton said, "Kill him." Then read the book on human anatomy and dissect him. Necromancy that allows you to instantaneously perform elemental magic is relatively advanced, and you can't learn it in a short period of time, so let's start with the basics. With that, he took out a scalpel from the space ring on his left hand and threw it to Long Tianxiang.
Long Tianxiang had already been aroused by the undead magic, so how could he hesitate at this time? However, he looked at the black eyes, but did not start, but picked up the book first and read it.
Skull Heart said: Although I have already had killing intent, if I want to dissect it, I still can't do it? But Long Tianxiang's next question dispelled such thoughts.
He read the book for a while and asked, "Why can't we dissect it while he is alive, in that case, the soul has not disappeared, and it is not more conducive to research?"
Anyone can figure out how vivisection can be extremely painful. But Long Tianxiang hadn't started yet, but thinking about such a thing, the skeleton's heart sank.
It wanted to ask Long Tianxiang if he knew how cruel it would be, but it didn't want to show that it was a compassionate skeleton so quickly, so it said: "When vivisection, people will struggle, and you are the first time, which is not conducive to you to see the structure of the flesh clearly." โ
Long Tianxiang said: "It is written in the book that people need muscles to control their bodies, and they need to destroy them first, so he should not be able to move." โ
The skeleton couldn't help but say, "Then haven't you thought about how much pain this will cause him?"
Long Tianxiang was stunned, and then looked at the skeleton with a strange face.
The skeleton suddenly realized that he had just tempted him to use undead magic to gather an army of the undead, and now he was concerned about how individual beings felt, which was indeed a bit schizophrenic. But it's good that it has no expression, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassed.
After a while, the skeleton coughed a few times and said, "Anyway, you kill him first and then dissect him." โ
"Yes. Although Long Tianxiang has some ideas, he will not go against the meaning of the skeleton.
Long Tianxiang compared the knife first, but he felt that it was not easy to do anything, so he put down the knife, and gathered the ice element in his right hand to become an ice knife. Compared to the real sword, with the excellent elemental knife he controlled, he would be more comfortable.
After cutting off the throat of the black eye first, Long Tianxiang began to dissect it according to the steps of the book. The bloody mess did make him a little uncomfortable, but thinking about the wonder of undead magic, this feeling was not unbearable.
But as the dissection progressed, Long Tianxiang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as he found that the black-eyed flesh seemed to be very different from the general structure of the people written in the book.
This is, of course, the reason why the skeleton casts a sclerotic effect on the black eye. Originally, it also wanted to use this to give Long Tianxiang a question to see how talented he was in necromancy.
Long Tianxiang carefully compared the difference between the black-eyed body and what was written in the book, but he didn't know what the reason was. But when it comes to research, he's quite experienced. He got up and walked over to the corpse and began to dissect him.
This material choice made the skeleton nod secretly. The poisonous corpse is the least physically altered of the four, and starting with him is indeed the best order.
Through the comparison of the two in the same position, he gradually discovered how the black-eyed body had changed. He realized that this change should be the effect of necromancy.
He flipped through the book again to see the spells of necromancy. After reading dozens of them, he had a sense of the basic function of each spell. Maybe it's talent, he put his hand on Blackeye and began to groan.
His hand finally emitted a faint green glow. And wherever Long Tianxiang went, the black-eyed knotted muscles and hardened veins began to gradually recover. His mood at this moment was similar to the one when Sister Tina showed him the six elements. This was the beginning of a new world.
The skeleton was shocked, he had planned to ask what had changed in the black-eyed body, and if Long Tianxiang could answer, then he would be very satisfied. But Long Tianxiang had already preliminarily mastered the use of undead magic and recovered the black-eyed body, and it was in such a short period of time.
Such a talent is not much more than himself. It has mixed feelings. Originally, seeing that Long Tianxiang had no compassion, and was still thinking about vivisection, he didn't want to teach him undead magic. But now that he is so talented, how can the skeleton who is bent on finding a disciple bear to give up.
The skeleton coughed, but Long Tianxiang still lowered his head and dissected it, but he didn't hear it. It had no choice but to call his name.
When Long Tianxiang looked up, the skeleton was stunned, the excitement and obsession in his eyes were really familiarโhow similar it was to his original self.
Its hesitation disappeared in an instant. If you have learned necromancy yourself, why should you use your own judgment to deprive others who are also obsessed with necromancy the right to learn it?
It stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Long Tianxiang." Looks like you've developed an interest in necromancy. โ
"Yes, my lord, I am willing to learn it. โ
"Necromancy requires corpses, whether unleashed or studied. The higher the level, the more corpses are consumed. And even now, there are only four corpses you have now. I ask you, if these four are used up, how are you going to continue to learn necromancy, that is, to get corpses?"
Long Tianxiang was silent. The excitement faded away. Indeed, he had not thought about it before. But let him stop studying, of course, that is impossible. He thought for a moment and asked, "If you dissect it, it must be a human corpse?"
"Not necessarily. But human corpses work best, that's for sure. As the learning progresses, only the use of animal corpses will add a lot of difficulty to learning. โ
Long Tianxiang hesitated several times, but finally said, "My lord, I don't know. โ
