Chapter 214: The Second Mutation
As Hug continues to explore the part of his memory that hides important information, some secrets that exceed his expectations are finally successfully unearthed.
Xiuge was surprised to find that during the long period of existence of the Black Sun Society, these scholars and mages who believed in the ancient lost gods had actually found some "treasures" about ancient times through continuous "archaeology".
The abyssal power that the mage had previously displayed using general magic did not come from his own magical powers.
In the whole of Vann, there are very few people who can directly "mutate" at the level of magic like Xiuge, and those who can directly apply this mutation to magic are still at the stage of pure theory.
However, this method mastered within the Black Sun Society is beyond the traditional structure of magic and magic.
Unable to effectively interfere with the nature of the magic, the Black Sun Society has developed a strange but very reasonable method for the families who have received the favor of the gods.
The magicians in the association believe that humans and other intelligent beings that have survived to this day are in fact "defective" creatures of ancient times, and because of the betrayal of the true gods, today's humans, dwarves, goblins, and other creatures have lost the basis for receiving favors and blessings from the gods—physical and mental disabilities make it impossible for the power of the gods to remain in their bodies for a long time.
Based on this point of view, the association began a long time ago on a long-term experiment that would be extremely terrifying to ordinary people.
That is, the use of magical rituals to transform the human body itself.
The underlying theory of this transformation stems from Merlinler and the manufacturing process of the "Sword Hermit", who and the Dharma, by making the sword-wielding hermit take a large amount of potion and undergo a mild surgical modification to change their physique, so that they can further adapt to magic and even develop sufficient resistance to magic on a physical level.
The Black Sun Society goes one step further on this foundation.
"They're trying...... Use surgery to complete the inscription of rituals and magic?"
When Shuge found these in the memories of the mage of the association, his expression became strange.
Even in another world that Shug is familiar with, which is completely different from Vann, similar practices and ideas will definitely be divided into those advanced realms, and of course, those constraints based on ethics, morality, and the logic of social normalcy will naturally have no effect on the Black Sun Society.
When they realized the possibility, they immediately set out to try.
The mage's position within the Society was relatively limited, so he didn't have the means to know too much detail, nor did he have the authority to know about the history of this surgical experiment, but he did have some knowledge of how it worked.
The Black Sun Society has come to a bold conclusion by decomposing and studying the remains of a specific family member.
They believe that those who were active in ancient times and who were able to connect closely with the gods and receive favors and blessings actually possessed a certain affinity for power.
If it is placed in the current magical environment, it can be assumed that the ancient clans were able to absorb more "magic" and use it more smoothly - the magic circuits and the rituals used to operate the magic are naturally present in their bodies, so that they can permanently retain the power given by the gods and make it truly manifest through their bodies.
Based on this discovery, the scholars of the Black Sun Society conducted a series of studies and deductions, and finally concluded that the fundamental reason why the races that rule over the world today cannot receive the blessings of the gods is that the bodies of these beings no longer have the conditions of the past.
In order to restore the powers that belonged to the gods of the past, it is necessary to reshape the weak bodies of today.
"Bold indeed...... If the Legislative Committee had detected these signs earlier, perhaps the Black Sun Society would never have been removed from their blacklist."
Shug shook his head, then turned his attention to the mage's "transformation"
experience.
The mage obviously didn't know much about the process of this kind of magical surgery, but after going through a series of "surgeries", he was able to clearly perceive the huge changes that had taken place in his body - although the stock of magic power had not changed substantially, the way and process of operation were completely different from usual.
Before the magic officially pushes a magic to work, it seems to have undergone a special ritual transformation and transformation, and after this special transformation, the final magic has the same qualities that Xiuge had seen before.
Within the Black Sun Society and the Abyss Historical Society, they refer to this change and trait as the "Court's Gift".
"Fun ......"
Shuge finished reading this memory, he sat up, and asked the Mirror Messenger in the spirit world, who was busy "carrying" the spoils of war, "Since I can simulate my face, body, and memories as someone else, can the details inside my body be simulated together?"
The wisdom of the messenger in the mirror was naturally not comparable to that of the Running Mouse, and it nodded quickly, and at the same time conveyed a message to Xiuge, "You can try as much as you want", and it seemed that it was still a little impatient because of Xiuge's question.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiuge immediately calmed down, and the abyssal mist once again emerged from within his body, and this time, what these mists changed was no longer the appearance of his body, but directly affected his muscles, bones, and internal organs.
Severe pain was felt.
As he simulated the kind of "surgery" that the mage had undergone, he felt as if his body was being cut by a sharp blade and a carving knife, and the pain was so specific and detailed that he could even feel something cut across his bones, leaving a series of fine lines.
After a few moments, the full-scale simulation was over, and Xiuge's close-fitting clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but instead of becoming weak, he felt a strange sense of euphoria.
He felt that the flow of magic in his body seemed to become smoother, and the rotation of the metal disc seemed to be much smoother.
When Hug set his eyes on the huge metal disk, he was surprised to find that the lines that had previously stretched out from the center of the disk and connected the emissary in the mirror, the court hound, and the related derived grooves now had a specific color.
It was as if the mist of the Abyssal Court had been transformed into solid oil paint or liquid, dripping into the fine lines on the surface of the metal disc and dyeing it.
The court hound, which had been slowly tearing and sucking its own food, seemed to notice this subtle change, and it circled around its "room" twice, but found nothing special.
However, from the point of view of Xiuge, this part of the grain and groove has been successfully "divided" from the disk, like some kind of coloring game, and these areas have been successfully dyed with the color peculiar to the court of the Abyss.
"What is this? Do you want to switch skill specializations?"
Hug laughed and teased, instinctively using the game terminology he was more familiar with.
Then, he will be separated from the spiritual world, and raised his palm, with the mobilization of magic power, the fine magic pattern immediately formed next to his fingertips, and this time, under the influence of those "surgical transformations" in his body, the magic flame that emerged from Xiuge's fingertips actually changed into a form similar to the fog of the abyss, although faint, but this beating black flame is definitely completely different from ordinary flame tricks.
Sugg was amazed, and he immediately began a series of experiments, and then he discovered that almost all the magic he had cast with his own hands could be fundamentally transformed in nature according to the changes in his body.
In the light of the crystallized lamp, Xiuge summoned the hand of his mage, who had turned into a state of mist, and after successfully getting a cup not far away, he performed another trick of "Demonic Clear Water".
However, even he didn't dare to drink the things he made.
Because that looks like a ball in a cup no
Tumbling black silt, or rather, viscous dark ink.
Although there is no pungent smell, the visuals are simply too shocking and intimidating.
What surprised Xiuge even more was the chain changes that had taken place in the rest of the ancient creations under the magic of this mutation.
When Shug summoned a Callon Touch, he was surprised to find that the tentacles that were supposed to be in an entity state had now turned into that thick fog state, and under Xiuge's manipulation, these Calron Touches were able to easily switch between physical and semi-physical states, and Xiug was even able to use them to penetrate the door of the wardrobe and successfully tear apart the clothes placed inside.
Snikki, the Ramping Rat, has also undergone a new change under the influence of this mutant magic.
The abyssal mist wrapped around its body, although it did not change its size and shape, but it inexplicably gave it a sense of drifting like mist, and under the influence of this abyssal power, the eyes of the running rat also revealed a red light and shadow that was extremely similar to that of the court hound.
Snicky was not resistant to the change, and was even in the mood to comb and fiddle with his strange hair and tail.
"It seems that the discovery of the Black Sun Society is actually quite remarkable...... It's no wonder they've been able to keep acquiring new spellcaster members while the Legitrcy is in control of the mage resources."
Shuge raised his hand and took off the mask from his face, revealing his original body and appearance, and the ritual engraved in his body based on the "simulation" naturally dissipated.
"These magical abilities still need to be further investigated and verified, so let's find some live targets to try out during the day......
Thinking so, Shuge turned and fell onto the bed, and under the protection of the protective ritual, he quickly fell asleep with peace of mind.
At this time, on the front of Black Forest Town, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment, which had endured several rounds of ferocious attacks in a row, finally got a valuable opportunity to rotate and recuperate.
Meyer felt like he hadn't slept for a long time, his eyes were a little dark, but his mind was always clear and his spirit was in a state of euphoria.
After handing over the two soldiers wounded by the shelling to the military physician who had come to replace him, Meyer finally got a chance, so he washed the blood from his hands, took off his apron, put on his coat again, and walked outside with the letters in his pockets.
Luckily for him, it was time for the Chasseur garrison to perform routine magical ritual maintenance, so Mayer quickly waited for Verine Ernst to finish her work.
"Professor? You're looking for me?"
Verin, who saw Meyer, was also a little surprised.
After going through that series of battles, this female mage, who had always exuded a strong scholarly temperament all over her body, also had a little more temperament that she didn't have in the past, and her long hair, which had been burned off in the previous battles, was now only shoulder-length.
Meyer nodded, he and Wei Lin glanced at each other, sighed for the dark circles under the other party's "same style" as himself, and then said, "Sorry to bother you at this time, Ms. Wei Lin...... I need your help."
Wei Lin's brow furrowed slightly, then she nodded, pointing to the shadow behind a wounded tent, and signaling that she could go there and talk.
Soon, the two came to a hidden place, and Meyer directly said what he meant.
"At the request of Mr. Schugg, I wrote this article for him...... But I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to get this article out successfully."
Instead of immediately acceding to Meyer's request, Vicin held out her hand, "Can I take a look?"
Mayer nodded heavily, then he took out his notebook and took out a few folded pages from it.
Wei Lin took the page, pinched out a ball of magic light for lighting, narrowed her eyes slightly behind the lenses, and began to read at a very fast speed.
After a moment of silence, she raised her head, her face becoming serious and deep: "Professor Mayer, this article ...... it."
"I'll write two articles
Together, one is what Mr. Hugg wants me to write, and the other is what the "grown-ups" in Bolden demanded...... Based on our previous interviews with the refugees in Brownhill, I think this will maximize the usefulness of this article." Z.br>
"You want me to help you get this article out?"
Mayer nodded, a smile on his face, "It would be better if Lady Verin was willing to give some advice!"
Wei Lin didn't pay attention to Meyer's light-hearted joke, but asked solemnly, "Professor, there is a good chance that this article will bring you great danger and trouble...... Do you understand?"
