58. The mystery of the soul
"Okay, then I'll arrange specific things with you after class, and I'll stop here today, don't let Princess Yin Sabel wait."
Fisher nodded, ending their conversation.
As a result, when Fisher had finished speaking for a second or two, and seeing that she was still looking at her, she stood up again and bowed goodbye to Fisher with a blushing face.
Why does it feel like she's always half a beat slower?
Fisher thought with some confusion, and glanced at the time, now he still has a long time to play. And he didn't really want to go back to his laboratory to practice during this time, he was criticized by Elliog harshly, he felt that he should think about it again and practice again, otherwise it would be useless at all.
But now that he feels that his body and magic are in a very good state, he can take out the soul supplement manual he got before and study it.
He opened the door, hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign, locked the office door, and then turned the window back and closed the curtains.
Although ordinary people can't see the Soul Completion Manual, it is better to be cautious, and if anyone sees Professor Fisher looking thoughtfully at the empty table, will they think he is going crazy?
And after reading the soul supplement manual, you need to extract mana, and the mana circuit in your hand will light up.
Fisher sat back down at his desk, took out the Soul Completion Manual that was leaning against the other side of the lining, and placed it on the table.
In fact, the manual was not thick originally, and at the beginning Fisher looked thick on the outside when he got the manual to be filled by Yaren Niang, and there were only two pages when he opened it, but after recording Renee, the number of pages in the back began to grow on its own, as if it were endless.
Fisher flipped the page to where he had read and began to read the rest of the story.
As his gaze scanned, the gibberish tadpole text quickly twisted into Nari script that Fisher could recognize, but in the process, his arms began to glow with a magical circuit, and reading them was draining his mana.
Below the text that Fisher had read above, there was a line of small text in a different color, which seemed to be Caleb's annotation, which was different from the academic text above, and the following was full of his own comments and thoughts, which was quite life-like.
"I've been thinking about the usefulness and principle of the soul, and when I think about it, it seems that there is only one way to use magic... So I'm going to pay a visit to the 'dangerous people' who use magic. ”
"I really don't understand why the magic practiced by these dragonmen is so dangerous, and even their own bodies are constantly harmed, isn't there any way to improve it? I visited the dragonman's magician, Klihul... By the way, I found out what the names of all the dragonmen were, and the high priest told me that the pronunciation of 'er' means 'continuous individual', which is a testament to their status as descendants of the ancient dragon god Femabaha. ”
Fisher had discovered before that all the names of the dragon race ended with the pronunciation of "Er", Rafael, Mill, Lal, Koshir, and Fasher...
However, when they asked Rafael why, they couldn't tell why, only that they had been named like this for generations, and they didn't expect to get an answer in the complete manual.
"I asked Klihull why they didn't change their magic, but they happily invited me to improve their magic... Oh my God, they thought I was a master magician? It took me a long time to explain that I couldn't do magic! After asking, I learned that all the magic of the dragonmen, including the magic of other subhumans, was learned by the ancestors of the dragonmen from humans on another continent! They thought I was a human from that continent, and these days they're thinking about how I can help them improve their magic... Damn, I'll just say why they feed me so many good foods a day! ”
Seeing this, Fisher's gaze shrank slightly, and a strong curiosity drove him down
"It turns out that there are human settlements in other places! I thought that after leaving my hometown and coming to this world, human beings were still in a primitive age! If there are humans on another continent, what is their level of civilization? I tried to ask the Dragonmen, but they didn't know anything about it, and they only knew from the texts that there was another continent. ”
"It's a shame... But I also wondered how the two continents learned magic from humans if they were so far apart that the dragonmen didn't have the ability to explore? Could it be that humans came by boat, like Captain Columbus? ”
"It's a big secret, but I've almost forgotten what I came here for..."
Next, Caleb describes the process of discovering the second nature of the soul through the principles of magic he received from the dragonman magician, and the power of magic is actually to mobilize the power of the soul to pry the world and make the world respond, so as to achieve various magical effects.
In this sense, it must be used to pry the world with force, which also shows that the soul itself is an energy source, and it is a self-regenerating resource with a self-healing function, but the speed of recovery of this energy is very slow.
In the text, Caleb speculated about all the energy contained in the soul, and he set up a concept of "the demonic power of the species", describing the demonic power of the bottom line that a species would have even if it had not been trained by the soul.
Fisher soon realized that this might be the source of the technique that Filone had obtained from the manual, which was the rationale for his strange thoughts.
Fisher guessed that Filon had originally wanted to let the souls release energy, and then wait for them to use up their mana before repairing themselves, and then wait for the next time to use it, but this would be no different from engraving magic, which took a long time and was very inefficient, otherwise those magic items would not be sold so expensive.
When this path did not work, Philon was inspired by Soul Loss and went to the other extreme.
At this point, the second nature of the soul [regenerative energy] is all said and done, but before talking about the third nature, Caleb asks the reader to think about a very interesting question.
Fisher's magic drained quickly, but he didn't seem to realize it at all, and was fully absorbed in the knowledge in the books.
Yaren Niang began to feel slightly hot after finishing the manual, but the temperature was not too high, and Fisher did not notice it at all.
"Friend, let's start with an interesting question. A person who was born with a disability and lost his arm, is his soul intact? What if a person was born with a full soul and lost his arm in an accident the day after tomorrow? Is his soul whole? ”
The answer is that their souls are indeed whole. But when they lose that part of their body, that part of their soul will also disappear, after all, we all know that the soul is specifically manifested as a magic circuit in the body, and cutting off a part of the body also means that part of the magic circuit is separated from the body, but because of [self-generation repair], the soul will slowly grow into its original appearance. ”
"But the question is, will the soul of the severed part of the torso become a complete soul because of its self-generated restoration?"
"Yes, it will."
"The soul on the part of the torso that is out of the body still has a tendency to regenerate itself into a complete part, but this tendency is very slow, and it only depends on whether the activity of the torso can support it to grow back into a full soul. I did an experiment where I took the arm of a dying drake, and did everything I could to keep that arm alive. ”
"Interestingly, the mana circuit of that arm has grown compared to when it was removed, and the dragonman can still vaguely sense that arm."
This is the last nature of the soul, Split Independence. Theoretically, the separated part of the body will still carry that part of the soul, but since that part will quickly become inactive, the soul that exists in it will quickly dissipate. ”
Fisher's mind drifted far away, and for a moment he thought about whether the part that had been separated would have been alive, and the part of the soul inside would have survived, just like the artificial witches of the Witch Society!
Bart implanted a portion of Caro's flesh, so when Carlo got closer, his body reacted with a connection; It's like Carlo can occasionally detect the gaze of an undead witch from a hair...
However, according to this theory, if the ontology dies and that part of the body is still alive, then what will become of that part of the body?
A new ontology!
This is the meaning of the split independent nature of the soul.
Just when Fisher was still trying to read, there was a sharp pain in his chest, he "hissed" and looked down at his chest, but found that there was smoke, he reached out in a panic and took out the manual that was as hot as a soldering iron, and looked at his chest, where a square red mark was burned extremely eye-catching.
But in hindsight, he was extremely weak from top to bottom, as if he had been hollowed out.
He gritted his teeth and covered his chest, only to realize that his magic had been hollowed out at some point, and if he continued to read, he would probably become a dry corpse like those who illegally engraved magic.
As soon as he thought of this, he looked with some trepidation at the Soul Completion Manual that was spread out on the table. At that moment just now, he was indeed immersed in the knowledge recorded in it, and a lot of associations and thoughts were poured into her brain in an instant, making her want to get more very much...
Is it because of this manual?
Fisher frowned and looked at the Soul Completion Handbook on the table, but he didn't think it was because of it, because at that moment, he clearly realized that it was the knowledge that was guiding him to continue reading, not the manual itself.
It only performs the duty of recording and does not have any activity.
Fisher looked at the text above, and there was a passage below that had been translated by Fisher's magic, but he hadn't yet
This is not the main text, but a record written by Caleb Uzi himself, just like the words written before like a diary and a diary.
"On July 27, 332 A.D., Caleb Uzi of London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, decided to leave the Ryothine and embark on a journey."
"In the past few years, I was actually a little glad that I left the world of cao, I was far away from bankrupt companies, cheating wives, and families on the verge of collapse, and came to a magnificent world full of epic pictures. I'm doing well, the people are friendly, and I've had a really good time here. ”
"But the more time passed, the more lonely I felt. I often dream of my wife, Karina, of playing sports and ball together in college, and I remember when our daughter was born, she was lying in a hospital bed with tears in her eyes. ”
"I thought of my daughter, the rebellious girl who would only ask me for money... If time had been flowing at the same rate in the UK over the past few years, she should have gone to university... Did she apply to the University of Manchester? Is she in love at all? Does she want me, a father who has never said goodbye and has not paid his responsibilities? ”
"I've always thought about them, and no matter how many times I've been through self-comfort, I can't get them out of my mind, and I think I've forgiven Karina a long time ago, and I've wanted to accompany my daughter to do what she wants to do, even if I hated those things before."
"I was homesick, so I decided to leave the Dragon Court and find a way to return to my original world."
Fisher frowned, he had a habit of taking notes after reading, and he had learned a lot from reading just now, but it was not until the last sentence that he slowly sorted out the information he had obtained after this reading.
First of all, Caleb actually said that all the other subhuman magic was learned from humans? Fisher thought that Kado's title of "Land of the Origin of Magic" was self-proclaimed.
Moreover, the magic of the subcontinent was learned from humans, which means that the humans of the Western Continent have been in contact with the subhumans of the Southern Continent for a long time? So why is it only in recent decades that humans in the Western Continent have discovered the Southern Continent for the first time on a pioneering ship?
The second thing is that Fisher has learned some information about Caleb Uzita's world, although it is not comprehensive, but at least there is some basic understanding.
Fisher silently wrote down the words "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and "London" in the words he had originally written.
The last thing is the most important, regarding the characteristics of the soul [renewable energy] and [split independence], Fisher suddenly remembered that the energy consumed by the magic this time was beyond the previous level, and he almost didn't squeeze Fisher dry.
And based on what he knew about Philoon during the battle, he basically didn't practice magic, so did he know what Fisher was reading today?
The suspicions of the Southern Continent hit his heart again, but Fisher didn't think about it anymore.
He rubbed his brow weakly, a hollowed-out feeling of nothingness that made him sleepy.
