Chapter 63: Necromancy (3)
Long Tianxiang pondered for a while, remembering that it let him tell the truth, so he said, "I don't know how much help it has. The implication is that as long as he helps enough, he is willing to learn necromantic magic.
The skeleton said, "Where the mage's spiritual power exists, the Royal Academy should have talked about it." ”
"It's in the head. ”
"Then you must have sung it over the stairs. How do you feel?"
"It's going to be like being burned. ”
"Why do you know that?"
"Spiritual power can't control all the elements well, and the elements regurgitate and disturb spiritual power.
"Where's the part?"
"Sometimes in the head, sometimes all over the body. ”
"Then let me ask you, since the spiritual power is in the head, why does the whole body also have a feeling of backlash?"
Long Tianxiang was silent. He had thought about it, but to no avail. Plus, it's not very important, so he didn't dig into it. Listening to the skeleton's meaning now, it seems to know the reason, Long Tianxiang became interested, and said, "Please advise." ”
The skeleton laughed a few times, took out a book, and threw it to Long Tianxiang. When he held it in his hand, it was a black-skinned thread-bound book, and on the upper right side of the cover, the words "Undead Studies" were written vertically.
If you open it, the first chapter is called Overview. The writing is beautifully and neatly written, and it's hard to believe that it's written by an ugly skeleton in front of you.
"As human beings, we have a wealth of emotions, complex consciousness, and our bodies can act according to their own consciousness," the review reads. This is the most common phenomenon, but it is also the most unusual miracle, because it is difficult to say what the principle is. Necromancy is a discipline created to make all of this clear.
Up to now, necromancy has solved many problems, only the subtleties remain, and there are still many questions. So to answer the above question about the current results, this is true.
Man is made up of two parts, the soul and the body. The two are inextricably linked. The body constitutes the whole of our matter, and the soul constitutes our consciousness and pervades all corners of the body. Because of this, we can control our bodies to do what we want.
It is worth mentioning that there is a concept of spirit in elemental magic. Here are some explanations of their differences.
In the knowledge of elemental magic, they let out their minds and control the elements for their own use. This is patently inaccurate. Where a person can control, only the soul exists, that is, the body.
If elemental magic controls something outside the body, that is, the element, then there must be the soul of the caster in that thing. Elemental magic says that spirits can control the elements, and that is impossible, unless, spirits and souls are one thing.
But this conclusion is also inappropriate, because ordinary people cannot release their souls to control external objects. But mages can. From here, it can be seen that psychic power is a concept that does exist. So, in connection with the knowledge of necromancy, the truly accurate definition of spirit is: the ability of the soul to be released.
If the ability is strong and the soul is easy to release, it is easy to control the magic element, and if the ability is weak, it is difficult to control the magic element. This is consistent with the theory of elemental magic.
In particular, the soul is a mysterious thing, and its essence cannot be fully explained even now, let alone impose on it our understanding of ordinary things.
Therefore, it is obviously not right to think that elemental magic needs to release souls, and the souls will gradually be exhausted, and then people will die.
In fact, the soul produces thoughts, such as eating and sleeping, perhaps the more popular name of the mind is thoughts, thoughts, concerns, emotions, etc., but it can be understood that they can be continuously produced by the soul, and no one will say that the thought of eating three times a day will consume the soul, and if it is exhausted, it will die.
And what is released through the spirit is the mind, the mind that wants to control the elements. The only difference is that the mind works outside of the physical body. ......”
Seeing this, Long Tianxiang suddenly understood. If it is not the so-called spirit but the soul that actually controls the elements, it is reasonable to feel pain in any place when chanting magic, because the soul is all over the body.
To be honest, just in black and white, it is necessary to overturn the conclusion that has been believed for a long time, and it is easy for others not to believe it, but Long Tianxiang believes it. Not only did it explain the questions that he had doubted in the past, but it was also an intuition that made him feel that what he said in this book was right.
It is like the definition of spiritual power "the ability to release the soul", which is really concise and accurate for Long Tianxiang, and the problems that he could vaguely feel in the past suddenly became clear because of this sentence.
The skeleton said at this point, "What, do you get an answer?"
"Got it. ”
"Want to know anything else that necromancy can do?"
Necromancy. It was not within the scope of what Sister Tina had shown him. But now he's genuinely interested in it.
In fact, the reason why he is so obsessed with elemental magic is not only to gain a sense of security, but also to be one of the driving forces of human development - the desire to learn. People always want to understand the truth of the world, and Long Tianxiang's desire is still very strong, perhaps because he is withdrawn and autistic, and he can only use this to fill his empty heart.
It cannot be denied that no matter what the disadvantages of necromancy are, it is also something that explores the truth of the world, and Long Tianxiang has no reason to refuse. So he said, "Yes." ”
"In general, necromancy is the study of life and the application of it," said the skeleton. Posture, illness, gender, anatomy, emotion, consciousness, soul, memory, and personality are all within the scope of his research.
In practice, necromancers can give simple souls to the dead, make them mobile, retrieve the memories of others, prolong their lives, and so on. By the way, if you're a mage, you probably want to reduce your chanting time as much as possible. You can look at page forty-three, and there is a way to do this in an instant. ”
Long Tianxiang turned to page forty-three, and to be honest, he couldn't wait in his heart. When he got there, he was stunned. He was very familiar with the spell symbol on it, and it was the content of "Instant Magic"!
He couldn't help but become more and more convinced of the skeleton in front of him. Of course, the question arises: "My lord, why can't I read the mantra even if it has no effect?"
The skeleton felt as if he hadn't tried it at all, but said, "Similar to elemental magic, necromancy has spells and requires chanting. But the difference is that necromancy has much more detailed requirements for soul release. And in a very different way. ”
"My lord, how can I learn this?"
"You need one thing first. ”
"What is it?" Long Tianxiang was really in a hurry.
"Corpses. ”
When the skeleton said this word, although it had no expression, just from the tone, it could still feel the endless vicissitudes in it.
