"Who do you think is the main character in the sacrifice?"

Lin's question was only exchanged for a rhetorical question from the lich.

Because as a traverser, he had various psychological and physical discomforts with the word 'sacrifice', so Lin did not carefully study this knowledge. Now that he is asked like this, someone can't answer for a while.

But this time, Fen didn't rush to reveal the answer, but stared at someone quietly. Lin Ye had to clarify his thoughts by himself, and slowly think about this question with what he knew now.

Sacrifices must have a purpose, an object, and sacrifices. The so-called protagonist in Fen's mouth should not refer to the core character in the story, such a statement; Rather, it is the primary and secondary of the three elements of sacrifice.

In traditional animistic beliefs on Earth, sacrifices are usually made to avert calamity. In order to calm the drought, pray to the heavens for rain; In order to calm the flood, the bride was offered to the river god. Objects are often fictitious, sacrifices are wasted, and what really matters is the 'purpose'. Even if you can't really achieve your goal, you can give people an excuse that 'I've done my best'.

If we consider the use of sacrificial techniques to make utensils from this perspective, what is the meaning of each of the three elements of sacrifice? "If the object is an item to be magically effected, with the purpose of attaching a specific magical effect, what is the role of the sacrifice in such a process? Or ask, what is the function of the sacrifice? ”

"According to what you said, to use the traditional production method as a metaphor, the purpose of the utensils to be made is to attach some magic, that is, what kind of magic array pattern is engraved. The role of the sacrifice here is not only a magic pattern, but also a means to construct the pattern. Use sacrificial flesh or souls to attract monsters, or control the souls that become sacrifices and manipulate them to achieve their desired goals. Therefore, the quantity, strength, and disadvantage of the sacrifices are all related to the quality of the utensils to be made. ”

"If you look at it from this angle, it doesn't feel like it's going to be that bad, right?"

"The reason is the uncertainty of the monster being summoned, or the soul being chosen as a sacrifice. They are not without the power of subjective consciousness, and in addition to the direction they are restricted, they will also try to break free according to their wishes or obsessions. Once it is freed, the crafted item will change in an uncontrollable direction. ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be nice to have the effect of strengthening the restraints?" Lin said intuitively.

"Even if you go to great lengths to create a cage to control this power, the main goal is to maximize the effectiveness of the items you make. Under such a premise, would you want to fill this cage to the fullest in order to exert maximum power and produce the strongest effect? People who choose this path, no one will make a conservative choice like you. In other words, from the very beginning, to make something like this is to wander on the edge of loss of control and control. The result but it depends on luck. ”

"With such a big deal of uncertainty, would a magician use it?" Lin wondered.

"If the effect you want to achieve is just right for the monster you are summoning, or if it matches the obsession of the soul of the sacrifice, it may be possible to exert an effect beyond the original design specifications. When this is possible, will you want to give it a try? By the way, the sword that the brave men who fought against me and dismembered my body had a feeling that it was a weapon made in this way. It's funny, it's obvious that they were made by the same sacrificial method, some of them were called 'demons' or 'evil', and some were called 'holy'. ”

That is to say, using this method is like gambling, one step to heaven and one step to hell. But if you're lucky, you can get rewards beyond your imagination, so it's no wonder that some people are willing to rush on a wave. It's the same no matter where you are, people, always gambling strongly. ”

Thinking back to the moment when the +9 samurai exploded in the past, it was all kinds of chopping thoughts.

All gambling is vain!

Peace of mind. Someone wouldn't have believed in their luck since a long time ago, or they wouldn't have been unlucky enough to cross this stall. So many times I would rather be a man with my tail between my legs than gamble on my character. Play online games, rush a wave, and explode when it explodes; In the maze, rush a wave, and it is very likely that you will die.

Take a few deep breaths. After calming down, Lin asked, "In that case, what's the use of you telling me this?" I'm not the kind of person who gets a head rush when I see the slightest chance of success. ”

"Of course I know what a coward you are. But what I'm trying to say is, is it possible for you to find a substitute for the sacrifice? ”

Stunned for a moment, Lin asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's literal. I had thought that the objects produced by such sacrifices were themselves just a prison for the soul. The strength of an item depends on the number and strength of the soul, and there will be no change in itself. But what if this change is actually a change that cannot be observed by the naked eye and imperceptible by perception? ”

"You mean, similar to the change in order?"

The so-called sequencing between two people usually refers to the sequencing of DNA strands. In the study of the Lost Land, the power of the divine power is ranked. Even a few people who have been by their side may not understand all of this knowledge. On the one hand, there is the idea of secrecy, and on the other hand, the fields they study and cover do not include these.

The focus of the silverbearded dwarves has always been on the peace armament; It was too early for the two apprentices to touch these; Uzov Gantia was not a magician, and knew that it was harmful; The black dragon Augustus had only been meeting for a short time, and he wasn't very interested in this kind of thing. He is not a research-oriented talent per se, but more like a material to be studied.

However, considering the methods mentioned by Augustus and Fin, the commonality between the two lies in the use of external forces to cause a certain variation of the object itself. And this mutation is likely to be related to the ranking of divine powers, that is, the 'divinity' mentioned by Fin.

This method of giving items a magical effect is really different from ordinary casting methods. It seems that the only way to attach the three magic spells of marking, pronunciation, and barrier to a small ring is to attach it to a small ring. Number Six

And this kind of thing that seems magical can actually be understood by the scientific method to some extent. That is, at the atomic level, to control the composition of the crystal structure. And this can also explain how the magic materials of the maze came from a certain angle......

Suddenly, someone is struck by a sense of powerlessness. Sometimes I really don't know which side of the earth is more advanced. It's obviously worse backward than the Middle Ages of the earth, but it can do a bunch of things that the earth can't do even in the era that you have traveled back to.

Spit and complain, what should be done still has to be done. Putting aside the thoughtless thoughts, Lin began to discuss the details with Fen very seriously, even though they were still having dinner.

Speaking of which, some people discuss things that no one else understands, which is also considered a daily routine at the dinner table. Most often seen with the two fanatical magicians, Augustus and Ezio have occasionally been muttering to each other lately, in voices that no one can understand, acting as if they were talking.

So after the meal, everyone dispersed and went their separate ways. After the two girls cleaned up the table, they did not forget to serve each of them a cup of coffee. This is a high-priced potion specially introduced and produced by the holy city of Estali in order to serve the vast group of magicians, which has the effect of refreshing, refreshing, and enhancing the casting speed, which can be called the best stimulant to drink before doing research or fighting.

Then I watched the two of them already use the whiteboard pen technique, and the dragon and phoenix danced in the air in the restaurant. The two girls knew each other well, one went to carry the coffin, and the other sat down and began to take notes.

It's a bunch of things that they seem to understand, but after thinking about it, they make sure they don't understand anything. The only thing that is certain is that it should be to make the ring that is going to be given to them. But...... The two girls inexplicably felt as if they were going to do something very extraordinary...... Or something terrible. Anyway, it's not ordinary.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Kaya. Halumi, who had just moved to the coffin, quietly asked her playmates who had grown up with.

"Want a gift?" Kaya asked with a grim face.

"I want to."

"That's like a good boy, just wait."

"Okay, I'll wait. But I wish I could make it cute. I think the shape of the Piriha flower is good, you say. ”

Piriha flower, a large man-eating flower endemic to Midi, has teeth and can chew. As for where the stomach is, no one has really figured it out yet.

"I want a skull ring." Kaya said seriously.

As the two girls discuss what kind of gift they would like to receive, the conversation between the two adults takes a not-so-good direction. Lin said: "Ah, I really hope that there can be a successful sacrifice of the finished product, and the magic prop finished product made by the dragon clan as a reference model." ”

"Indeed." Finn agreed.

"By the way, you didn't say you ever made a scepter. Do you know where it falls? ”

"I made a trap and blew it up heroically, destroying an old god by the way. It was the most beautiful fireworks I've ever seen, with the flesh and blood of the gods. Besides, even if it doesn't blow up, how much reference value can something be broken. ”

"That's not what I said. If there were physical objects that could be tested, it would prove whether our conjecture was right or wrong. Lin said regretfully.

"Definitely. I think less about this part. Fen remembered the substitute and asked, "And what about the sword that the brave man used in the first place?" As I said, it was also a sacrificial weapon. Maybe it's very informative. ”

"Holy Sword Aixcaliba, that sword has long been lost. Even if it's still there, it's a treasure of which country, where is it possible to borrow us for testing and analysis. ”

"Don't you borrow it. I don't think we can borrow what we want. ”

"Hey, you're dangerous. I don't do the kind of thing that only a thief does. ”

"It's not stealing! This is an action that is necessary in the process of academic research. ”

"It's a play on words, it doesn't make sense. Besides, we don't know where things are, so we can't borrow them if we want to, can we? ”

"Do you think it's possible to be buried with the brave man at the beginning? Maybe we can go dig graves. By the way, I resurrected him, said hello, slaughtered him, and buried him. ”

"Are you sure that you are really not doing this for personal vendettas, but simply doing research?"
