47. The Secret of the Soul

"Femabah, Femabah!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

Take your eyes off the distant and cold north for a while, and return to the southern continent, which straddles continents and oceans.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Red Dragon Court at the southern tip of the Southern Continent was hot, and in a corner of the country that was not very vast, countless Dragon Court paper bundles dyed by some kind of natural red dye were fluttering in the air in the breeze.

This is a certain sacrificial tradition inherited after the establishment of the Red Dragon Court, and this continued tradition helps to unify and make the Red Dragon Court more united.

Looking out of the window of Fisher's room, the surface of the dragon head floating in the sky was entwined with several transparent silk threads, and the other end was tied to the hands of many of the Dragon Court residents who were shouting in the street below.

It was the first time Fisher had seen such a scene, but it was not the first time he had participated in an event of the same nature as such a sacrifice, but it was only the first time that other events involving other gods were involved.

When he lived in the church as a child, Mother Teresa often took him to various services and festivals, and like many sub-races in the southern continent who naturally believe in Femabaha and the northern continent who believe in the frost phoenix, the faith in the western continent is also relatively simple, and because of different beliefs, its believers will also show completely different personality characteristics.

For example, Aragina of the single-faith frost phoenix, she is very lenient in accepting subhumans, focusing on the bonds of family, love, friendship and other feelings; At the same time, I don't know if the whale race has inherited the truest character of this god of all phases, so the character has become very indifferent, and they love to be rotten and lie flat in their lives (except for Xuanshen).

In the Southern Continent, although the process of believing in Femabaha was interrupted in the middle due to historical reasons, his character has a long history with the dragon court and the bloodline he left in the dragon race.

Femabah's beliefs gave Fisher a mixed feeling, more like "a tiger sniffing a rose", and this nature was particularly strong in Rafael.

Specifically, it looks savage and babbling on the surface, but on the inside, it is actually very delicate and gentle.

Thinking of these things, the magic circuit on Fisher, who was sitting in the room, dimmed a little, as if his thoughts were slowly calming down when he looked at the extremely lively scene outside.

At this moment, Fisher was sitting naked in front of his desk, and the windowsill was facing him very closely, revealing the bright morning sky outside.

The desk was placed in front of the windowsill, a habit that Fisher had had since the days of Saint-Nari, which helped him to think and refresh his mind, especially now, like that of a sage who has been famous in history.

On the bed next to her, the messy futon enveloped the somewhat tired Rafael's delicate body, and in the shadow of the morning sun on her back, there was a pair of slightly dim dragon horns and a sweet sleeping faceβ€”the two horns on her head, which were part of her soul, would change accordingly whenever she rested, as Fisher had come to after observing day and night.

Interestingly, she's been out and about these days because she's busy with the Dragon War, and that's been the case yesterday, until early in the morning when she came back and lay down beside Fisher.

According to Fisher's mental inertia, if you come back tired and rest, you should just go to sleep, but this doesn't seem to be the case for dragons.

Rafael asked for him first thing when he returned to Fisher every day, and he could do so several times, as if it were part of her decompression or rest.

And after "eating and drinking", she will fall into a deep sleep contentedly, and then only rest for a short period of time, and then be able to revive energetically and full of blood.

This is the living habits of the dragon race, which makes Fisher, a human, a little confused, but fortunately, he has reached the mythical level, and the reproduction level does not know where to go, so Rafael's needs are simply a drizzle for him, negligible.

It was the same today, when she had just finished her plea and fell into a deep sleep, leaving Fisher alone to enjoy the quiet morning.

Emhart was resting outside, and the other day Rafael had arranged a room for him to let him go to a room with a book, in order not to let this creature, who was particularly annoying at night, spoil her good deeds.

The idea probably came to him a few nights before, when Rafael had returned to Fisher's room from outside in high spirits to wash off his exhaustion, only to see Emhart sleeping on Fisher's body in the room.

But it's okay to do this, so that you can study it yourself and finish the manual.

At this moment, Fisher's brain was extremely clear, and after confirming that the Life Completion Manual could not be read, he temporarily set his eyes on the other Soul Completion Manual that he had.

He had read the manual before, but he hadn't finished it completely, and he had left some tails behind, because the quality of his soul at that time, or rather the rank, was not enough for him to continue reading what was going on, so he had left it for now.

He remembered the last time he had read that Caleb Uzi had the idea of going to the Red Dragon Court to enter the spirit realm, and it seemed that this place in the spirit realm was a destination for the members of the Creationist Society, who firmly believed that the exit to the home was somewhere in the spirit realm.

There wasn't much left, and Fisher was starting to think about a question before reading it, about his old profession of magic.

Previously, he had privately approached Jasmine to ask about the damage to the Fluid Sword, but she told herself that the damage to the Fluid Sword would need to be repaired by Ramastia's power, or that the power contained in the Fluid Sword would slowly recover

But Fisher, seeing that it is in such a weak state, it is estimated that it will not grow for a while.

Without the Fluid Sword, his combat methods would be very monotonous.

It is true that he is of the Mythic Rank, but it seems that compared to other innate Mythic species, he now seems to have a simple brute force that can be used. Moreover, according to the point of view of the Life Completion Manual, his current "human" form cannot fully exert the power of the mythical rank.

Other mythical species or beings who have entered the mythical rank have a deep understanding of the rules of this world, and Fisher is a myth that relies on chaos to enter, so does it mean that the power of his mythical rank must actually rely on chaos to exert its effect?

The power of life chaos may be used, and he can adjust the structure that suits his power by changing his appearance, but he can't change the structure that crosses the mythical rank without getting the treasure.

As a result, he had to think about another path related to chaos: magic.

In fact, both soul and magic are chaotic powers, but compared to the power of completing the manual, Fisher still subconsciously wants to consider magic as a means that he is very familiar with and sure is safe.

The highest power of magic is only the fourteenth rank, that is, the power that cannot cross the mythical rank, but this does not mean that magic cannot produce power comparable to the mythical rank.

There is only one known way for Fisher to increase the power of his magic, and that is to improve the quality of his magic by using multiple rings.

The problem arose, that is, the only known multi-ringed magic in the entire human wizarding world was the "Dragon Hunting Spear" created by Mr. Haythami.

Fisher didn't know the specific process of Haytham developing the double ring head magic, it could be a flash of inspiration caused by talent, or it could be a theoretical experiment that accumulated over time, this process Haytham did not disclose to the outside world, and even because Fisher was his student to know about the existence of this magic, he never announced this magic to the academic community.

But when he was in the Ideal Kingdom, Fisher had seen Asuka Karasawa create multi-ring magic with the chaos in her brain, and it wasn't any form he taught.

Asuka Karasawa is the current magician, and it is very likely that it is the true origin of magic in the world, it is not surprising that Fisher has such a talent that seems to cheat, as a student does not have to be inferior to a teacher, the question now is, how can he, a teacher, learn from his students, and master the method of creating multi-ring magic.

He narrowed his eyes and focused on the Soul Completion Manual in front of him.

He suddenly had an idea.

If the power of magic comes from the soul, then the ring head and the discovery of magic are actually a deconstruction of the rules that work in reality.

The nature of this theory determines two requirements for the creation of magic: one is a sufficiently strong magical power (soul mass), which can provide a source and sufficient cost of trial and error for Fisher to engrave magic; The second is a way and power that is enough to clearly deconstruct the rules of operation, which allows Fisher to observe the laws of magic that he had never obtained before.

And maybe Asuka Tang Ze can meet these two points at the same time, so he can have such an exaggerated magical talent.

But as it happens, Fisher now has one thing on hand that can meet both needs.

Soul Completion Manual.

He gently pinched the cover of the Soul Completion Handbook and opened it little by little. As before, the magic circuit on his body suddenly lit up, but the difference was that when his skin opened the supplement manual, an extremely strange feeling came to Fisher's heart.

He felt everything around him suddenly darken, as if everything around him was slowly disappearing, leaving only the endless darkness and the chair sitting below him, the finishing manual in front of him, and the wooden table beneath him.

Fisher didn't feel uncomfortable, he just frowned, and wanted to continue looking at the contents of the soul completion manual, but at that moment, opposite him, a pale male palm with a slight black body hair lightly clasped the page of the completion manual, interrupting his reading.

β€œ.”

Fisher looked up in silence, only to see a middle-aged man with sparse hair on his head and only a very light layer of hair on the back of his head on the other side of the table, looking at him expressionlessly.

His face was vicissitudes, his eyes were bruised, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had no energy at all. He was dressed in a simple pale red single coat with an extremely strong Southern Continent Dragon Court style, but the thin clothes highlighted his thin figure.

Meeting Fisher's gaze, he withdrew his palm that was buckled on the Soul Completion Manual little by little, and then, he clapped his hands slowly and dryly, and said to Fisher,

"Congratulations, after me, among those who have this completed manual, no one has reached the Mythical Rank for a long time, you are the first, and I'm afraid the last."

Caleb Uzi?"

Fisher had seen this man before, when he was hallucinating in his mind in the North.

The man in front of him nodded, and replied without much energy,

"Yes, it's me. Don't wonder why you're suddenly in here now, it's all set by me. Now that you've read most of the notes I've taken, there's only a very brief part that I wrote before I tried to enter the spirit realm, and by reading that section, you have inherited all the knowledge in my head. It's not a lot of it, but it's dangerous, so I need to make sure that the owner's soul is strong enough or twisted enough to be at least at the Mythic Rank.

"And before you start reading that part, I need to share something with you. Fill in some things that are not recorded in the manual. It's a little admonition, or experience sharing. Once you've listened to it, it's up to you to decide if you want to read that section or not. ”

Fisher didn't look at the pages of the manual on the table, but was preoccupied with the vicissitudes and exhaustion of the man in front of him, another transfer from outside the world.

He saw that the "Caleb Uzi" in front of him was not a living soul, but the content recorded in the completion manual, carrying the message that Caleb Uzi wanted to convey, but the means Fisher did not know, and with the intelligence of the shadow in front of him, it was difficult to say whether this was some kind of application of the knowledge of soul confusion.

He hesitated for a moment and asked,

What would you like to share with me?"

"A secret, a secret of the soul."

"Soul?"

"Well, although I haven't been in contact with many other owners of the completion manual, there is only one, and that is Destiny Qing, or the president she pretended to be. But in the course of my long research, I began to realize that the knowledge in my head was perhaps the most special of all the completion manuals. Not because of anything else, but because all of this knowledge is tied to a concept."

Caleb Uzi's pale face lowered a little, and then he rubbed his hands, and then said with some trembling and nervousness,

"You know what, outside of the world, where I used to live, Earth. Or what messes up other galaxies, universes. Anyway, in that place, the soul is not non-existent, or rather, it is not non-existent, but that no one, no being, knows that it exists. ”

Fisher frowned, after all, according to his worldview, the actual existence of the soul is common knowledge that almost everyone knows, even people who have not read books or studied magic know that it exists, which made him unable to understand Caleb Uzi's words for a while,

"What does this mean? That is, the soul is something peculiar to our world? ”

But when these words came out of his mouth, he immediately felt that something was wrong, because if this was the case, then it would be impossible for Asuka Tang Ze to have something like a magic circuit on his body that he was very familiar with.

Sure enough, Caleb Uzi quickly shook his head and said,

"On the contrary, the soul is the only rule that prevails between this world and the outside world, but few people realize this truth, and it is only because of the special knowledge of chaos that I am lucky enough to know this secret. You know, there's a disconnect in this kind of thing. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see. It is obvious that the more powerful and intelligent the Being, the more important it is to know more than the others.

"Zooming it in to the race, within our world, we know very little about the world beyond the celestial dome, and the same is true of the laws of how the world works; And there must be other more powerful and intelligent races than we know and can do more; And then, there must be a more powerful and intelligent race than this group that knows better. And so on and so forth, all the way upwards, to the point of resembling those powerful gods that exist in this world, Ramastia, Dallasgon, Ajibatos, Raven, and Oyun."

At this point, Caleb Uzi's expressionless face lifted little by little, looked at Fisher in front of him, and then he said,

"Then, according to the previous logic, if these gods have not yet attained the power and wisdom of omniscience and omnipotence, then there must be something above them that even they do not understand the principle, nature, and source. It's just that they, oh, have very little to know than the human beings we gave at the beginning, and they don't know less and less as they get stronger."

"You mean"

"Yes, such a thing is the soul and the most relevant thing of all the knowledge I have ever received"

Caleb Uzi smiled miserably, and then continued,

"In our world, the soul is completely ungraspable, it is like a fantasy concept, and it was not confirmed until I came to this world, it turns out that I have a soul like yours, it is real, but in your world, the soul is [shaped], which is completely contrary to the knowledge I have received. The sea of souls you have here is not normal, or very special, very. [Precious].

"Its cohesion is so tight that it can even restore the consciousness of [soul-like authority], those powerful beings who watch this world peacefully day and night, those stars are proof. Not only that, but there is also a huge gap between its soul strength and that of the outside world, which is why Ramastia was able to create such powerful demigods.

"No one knows where the manifest souls come from, and the gods have taken it as a gift from nature, but I am sure that those souls have masters, and their masters are the beings of the spirits whose rules and origin even the gods cannot understand. And then after completing the contents of the manual, I recorded a corner of His power displayed in the knowledge, so I said that my completion manual is the most special of all the manuals.

"If you decide to read on, you will witness the magnificence of the soul. You will feel the power that lies deep within you, and witness all the amazing sights that souls who have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, countless bodies, and infinite distances have seen. But you will also be in danger like never before, and your soul will first fall into chaos that the world cannot tolerate, and become a hungry predator.

"The soul is the source of consciousness, and the most direct authority of an unknown and powerful being, and the price of great power will be a madness unmatched by all other complete manuals. So, you need a clear goal that is enough to sustain you in the fight against this hunger in order to stay sane in the midst of such a struggle. Do you have such a goal? ”

Fisher was slightly stunned when he heard this, he had taken so much from Caleb Uzi's mouth at once, and before he could fully digest it, he heard his last question.

Thinking back to what he had recorded in his past in the completion manual, Fisher couldn't help but ask,

"Did you use this power to get home, to come home and see your wife and daughter?"

Caleb Uzi's tired face was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then an extremely faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,

"Yes, I miss them very much, they are the pillars of my journey, so I do not hesitate to use the power of knowledge."

Fisher didn't know the ins and outs, he only knew that in the end, Caleb Uzi failed, otherwise the completed manual would not have ended up in his hands.

But perhaps, like Fisher now, he also has the pain of having to do this.

"I see, thanks for sharing, Mr. Caleb Uzi."

Caleb Uzi smiled slightly, but did not say anything else, and then the darkness around him suddenly disappeared, and the handwriting on the desk became very clear.

Outside the window, the faucet of the paper-tied Famabaha floated somewhere, leaving only the extremely quiet morning sky.

Looking at the sky, pondering the information he had just received from Caleb Uzi, an inspiration, an idea of magic suddenly appeared in Fisher's mind.

"Hmm"

He was a little excited to try to put into practice this idea, which was closely related to the Soul Completion Manual, but at the same time, a disturbing murmur on the bed next to him suddenly interrupted all his thoughts.

He turned his head in a slight daze, but saw Rafael, who was resting in the futon at the moment, with his eyes closed, but his face was not very good-looking, as if he was having a terrible nightmare.

Fisher quickly stood up and crept to her side, only to find that her forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, sticking to her hair

"Black mud. Don't come over."

I got closer, but I heard her whispering something from her dream, describing the scene in the nightmare.
