Chapter 779: Undead Creature

The people who returned to the main plane were very secretive about what happened after the group of people hurriedly flashed away.

Fasheng Mahatab Youfen personally intervened. After a secret conversation that was unknown to outsiders, one of the most powerful men in the Holy City chose to stand firmly behind the two magicians. In addition to Finn already holding the title of Grand Mage of the Fest District, the Priest also changed his stance and became the one who supported Gaybrash Tripwood to take the title of Grand Mage.

In terms of conferring titles, except for the tower owner of Tower I, who occasionally expresses his opinion because he is also the president of the Fest District District, the tower owners of the other five core towers of the Holy City will not express any opinions to highlight their transcendent status. But today, Mahatab's behavior of breaking the convention again also caused her to be questioned a lot, and then ...... No then.

The people who can sit in that position, whether they are men or women, are strong-willed people. Unless there is room for ambiguity in the matter itself, it will change due to different positions, and it has no stake in these bigwigs. Of course, they know how to protect themselves wisely and stand in a detached position. But as long as it is something they have identified, the level of stubbornness is that the ten-headed dragon can't pull it back.

Coercion by force? Who is impatient to coerce the Dharma Saint who lives in a five-story magic tower by force? The other tower owners didn't dare to be so arrogant.

But after all, it is just an opinion, and Fasheng Mahatab has not yet made a decision. So this wave of turmoil quickly ended, and then it was forgotten. Just like the gossip and gossip on the earth, it is difficult for the heat to exceed three days, after which no one cares.

The disturbances of the outside world, as always, did not affect a certain magician who traveled through the crowd and the people he regarded as family. Their lives have not changed much except for one more big living person.

On the contrary, this new member made a lot of jokes in the first few days. Hunger, thirst to the point of dehydration, drowsiness at night, and even wetting pants and diarrhea in pants, all kinds of strange conditions are endless. Although two young girls help with the aftermath, Stone is still as if he has no shame.

In the end, Fen couldn't stand it and came forward to teach his subordinates a lesson. "Your body is different from what it used to be, it needs to eat, drink, rest, and even excrete, you have to learn it yourself and get used to it. And in terms of efficiency, it's much easier to get things done before you reach your own limits than it is to clean up after the fact. This kind of thing, don't let me see it a second time. ”

"Yes, master."

Anyone who can't teach it, a certain lich will come forward and do it. Fen's previous evaluation of this guy was stubborn and brainless, but Lin Ke can be regarded as having seen it. However, this also made someone wonder, and asked: "Doesn't Stone even have any memories of the past and when he was a human?" These trivial things in life, as long as you have been a human being, it is impossible not to have any impression at all. ”

"Who told you he used to be a man?" A certain lich, who was eating dessert after dinner, said vaguely as he bit down on the spoon.

Lin was surprised: "He's not human? So what is he? ”

"Well, I can probably guess you have some misconceptions about undead creatures. So I'm going to be very merciful and help you popularize science. ——”

Even so, Fen was still careless, eating slowly and methodically, spoonful by spoonful, red bean dumplings, a dessert made by Harumi. Eating this stuff in this kind of winter is really heartwarming. While speaking,

"β€”Undead creatures As the name suggests, they are things that have been resurrected from the dead and regained most of their biological properties. It retains some of the habits of life, but it is also different from the things of life. To be more accurate, all living beings possess two parts, the soul and the body, and it is only complete to have both parts. When any part of it is lost, it can be called death. ——”

Although he was eating dessert, Fen still imitated someone, using a whiteboard pen to draw some diagrams in mid-air, and even with simple annotations. In short, it is explained in an illustrated way.

Most of the forms of death are the dissipation of the soul, the decay of the body, and then the complete disappearance of the body from this world. If the body has been destroyed due to an accident and the soul has not dissipated, the soul is called a ghost, which is a large type of undead creature. It is difficult for these spirits to be artificially created, and most of them are born naturally by chance, and then the necromancer uses various methods to restrain them, enslave them, or shelter them. ——”

Fen showed a range of ghost types in her memory, from the weak to the powerful. They have the same characteristic, that is, all of their faces are full of hatred and bitterness.

The other is that the soul has dissipated, and the body that was left behind has been used by the necromancer to resuscitate as a ghoul. Or pick the parts that are still intact and sew them together, and then cast a spell to revive them. This type is called suture cadaver. The most common type of bone that has been revived is the Skeleton Soldier. ——”

Finn exhibits three basic types of undead forms,

These undead creatures have one thing in common, that is, they only have instinct, not intelligence, because they do not have a soul in their body, just an empty shell. Ghouls are driven by their hunger instincts, devouring all flesh and blood they see. The Stitched Corpse and Skeleton Soldier are puppets whose bodies may remember how to move, but they don't move when they don't give the order. ”

"What about the wise undead? Do they have souls? Since there is a soul and a body, why is it classified as an undead creature? Lin asked.

"That's a good place to start. - "Fen complimented, "-intelligent undead creatures, they must have experienced death once." Sometimes it is the obsessive ghost who finds his physical body and regains control over a body. The representative creature of this type is the Lich. It's just that for the lich, death is deliberately pursued. Sometimes ghosts find empty bodies, or ghouls, stitched corpses, or skeletons that are strong enough to be stuffed with souls, and these undead creatures have the same intelligence as that soul. Sapient undead creatures are usually classified as high-level undead. ”

Fen also showed a number of schematic diagrams of undead creatures. It's just that these creatures not only look stronger, but also look like humans, know how to use equipment, props, and dress up. But Fen relegated a creature that clearly looked like a vampire to the very edge, clearly distinguishing it from other undead creatures. At the same time, he said:

"Incidentally, vampires are not strictly undead creatures. It's just that its fear of sunlight is the same as that of most undead creatures, especially ghosts; Coupled with the fact that they belong to the chaotic and evil faction, vampires are often grouped with the undead. But vampires can be considered evil creatures, but they shouldn't be classified as undead creatures. ”

Fen disgusted, punched the vampire image with a big cross and threw it out.

Lin thought suspiciously, and muttered, "Is there only these kinds?" ”

"Of course not, there is a very special type of high-level undead. Those low-level undead who rely only on instinct or instructions to act, and have no intelligence, when they have experienced enough battles and grown to a strong enough level, will accumulate experience to form an instinct that can be called wisdom. In other words, undead creatures can learn, but the learning cycle is longer than that of Homo sapiens. But don't expect this undead to be smart, he's just a little more autonomous than his unintelligent counterparts. Basically, it's still okay to think of them as stupid. ”

When Fen said these words, his eyes never took off Stone, and the meaning was quite obvious.

"So, these kinds of undead have no experience of being human, so they don't understand these things of life?" Lin Shunkou asked.

"Not necessarily. The trait of this type of undead is that they know how to learn. If they deliberately learn and imitate human behavior, they will be able to imitate similar behaviors even if they don't understand those things. But there will also be the kind of stupid undead who disdain those actions and still live like in the past. ”

The sharp words of a certain lich, pointing at a guy who had just received a new body. I don't know if Stone really doesn't understand, or if he doesn't care, anyway, this thing is expressionless and stands quietly aside.

If Stone was just a stitched corpse like in the past, Fen wouldn't think anything. But now that this thing is a living person, she still has such an attitude, which can't help but make her angry, who is the owner.

"Stone!" Fen suddenly shouted.

Called this familiar name again, Stone just tilted his head and looked at the master who spoke, just as he had done a thousand years ago. Not much to say.

The reason why Fen called him was because he remembered a very important thing that he had to be reminded of, and said: "You are different now than in the past, there are no parts in your body that can be replaced, just like that." If you lose a lot of blood, it can lead to a decline in physical function and even death. No matter what kind of injury you have to repair, it's not that easy, so the most important thing you need to do now is to protect yourself first. If you have the strength to protect others, you know? ”

"Protection? Others? "In Stone's memory, the only order given by this majesty was to annihilate or kill anyone. It's the first time I've heard of such a word as 'protection'.

How could Fen not hear the questioning tone of his old subordinate, so he said bluntly: "In this era, I don't have anyone who has to take revenge, so I don't need you to kill outside." I'm just used to getting along with the people here, and if there is no one here, I'll feel sorry. So do your best, stone. ”

"Yes, my lord." Stone bowed down in response.

"Okay, I'm done." After speaking, Fen, who also finished eating red bean dumplings, sat back on the sofa. Bent the pair of big white long legs and put them at his side, rubbing them by himself, and a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at someone. It can be seen that Lin Du thinks that this sister does not mean that at night. I heard her suddenly ask: "I've said so much, it's time to change it." Tell me what a lightsaber is. ”

"Poof!" Where did someone squirt out of his mouth with a sip of coffee, where did this completely wrong style of painting come from?
