Chapter 514: Everyone Must Learn Magic

It was torture to bring Hum on board.

Once they had returned from the northern part of the Walled Mountains in a sea ship together, the orcs had always behaved well, and there was never any sign of seasickness. But on the Xingsuo, he was dizzy, and even vomited. "It must be the height. Hum argued. But he has a completely windowless room, and he can't see the outside at all, how can he know the height?

Quan Dang comforted him, the Xingsuo lowered its altitude, and basically flew close to the sea level, but he didn't expect Hum Ke to be better. He regained his vitality and was even able to enjoy the scenery from the deck, completely without the symptoms he had before.

"Is this the so-called orcs can't go to heaven?" Siegel couldn't figure out what was going on, because there was something more mysterious than Hum's illness that needed to be studied:

Xingsuo actually learned a magic!

Siegel knew she loved to read—second only to flying in the sky, her second hobby—but she didn't expect her to learn magic on her own. As a magical spaceship, Starrope is capable of casting several fixed spells, which were planned by Siegel at the beginning of his design and construction, and are entirely prepared for flight and combat. This feature comes from the Lamp God Core, which was originally designed to perform magic.

Different lamp gods can perform different spells, depending on the maker. Some lamp gods can also use magic items, such as spell staffs, but have never heard of a lamp god who can learn magic on his own. Although Singso has only learned the simplest and most basic spell of "reading magic", it also marks her qualification to become a true spellcaster.

So Siegel began to teach her the basics of the spell to build a solid foundation for her. Joining Xingsuo in the lecture was Humke. He'll also have a simple spell or two now. Because only the Siegel family and Raven Baron knew that the ship was intelligent. So Hum didn't know about the existence of Xingsuo. He thought it was a special lesson for him, so he listened very carefully.

If Xingsuo can continue to learn spells, then she will become incredibly powerful. Unlike other spellcasters, Myr Cores are part of Astral's body, her heart, and provide her with elemental support without any sluggishness, an efficiency that even a magical dragon can't match.

The only problem that exists is the spell casting gesture, and the star rope has no hands. Therefore, there is a certain disadvantage when constructing magic spells, resulting in slow spell casting and very easy to fail. Casting spells without gestures is a special skill that is usually only learned after becoming a full-fledged mage, and Xingsuo has to exercise this ability from the beginning.

Soon, Siegel discovered that Xingsuo had a unique advantage: he used the core and subbrain to take turns meditating. When the Core is meditating, the entire ship must be controlled by Siegel, and nothing can be done without orders. However, it is also possible to use more than 70 subbrains for coordination, and meditation is also possible. At this time, the main brain of Xingsuo can still maintain stable flight with the remaining secondary brain, which is equivalent to the ability to use two minds.

As a result, progress is delayed due to the lack of a cast gesture. He was chased back with the help of parabrain meditation. She learns at about the same rate as the average human mage apprentice. In this regard, she certainly can't compare to a "genius" like Siegel. But she never had the competitive spirit to compete with her master.

There are many ships on the sea, and the Star Rope is flying close to the water, so you can encounter these ships all day long. Compared to the magic ship, the three- and four-masted cargo ships are like kittens, and they can only crouch to the side. The flag of the Marquis of Heim flew high on the bow of the ship, and the captains who saw this scene hurriedly saluted the ship. When they saw the magic spaceship, they couldn't help but envy it, and fantasized that if one day they could own a spaceship, it would be called real grandeur.

If flying at full speed, the Star Rope would be able to approach the speed of sound, and would be able to complete the entire voyage in a day or two, or even faster with Siegel's help. But in order to allow time for the letter to Evan, she had to press her pace. If Evan didn't reply and agreed, Siegel would rush to the royal capital with a magic spaceship, which would be a big disrespect, and even a rebellion.

If it weren't for the transcontinental teleportation array, the speed of communication would be even slower. At this time, Siegel misses the goblin's mobile phone a little, and the function of global direct calls is indeed powerful. But he doesn't have time to do that right now, and his own energy is occupied by another study.

Even in the middle of his travels, Siegel did not forget to carry out his experiments. The cloth-covered thing was also transported to the ship, and Siegel would mix potions and cast spells every day. The star rope has a global vision, and the same is true for the interior, so the shielding cloth has been removed. As Janet had guessed, there was indeed a coffin underneath.

The coffin made of crystal exudes a slight chill, and in it lies a "body", which vaguely has the appearance of Siegel. The reason why it is not called a corpse is because it is still alive. Even though it doesn't breathe and doesn't need to eat, its heart does beat a little bit every day. Siegel used various alchemical potions to promote its growth, allowing him to gradually approach his adult state.

It was cultivated with a small piece of flesh on his own hip, using a great deal of knowledge of necromancy. Necromancy spells can create ghosts, demon corpses, mummies, and the like. Siegel has his own Elemental Legion, which is better command than the Necromancy, so he rarely uses this spell in normal times. He had only learned the spell, but had not studied it in depth. It's just recently that two things plus one technology caught his attention.

Edith, the half-elven mage "Traitor", left him a vial of the "Elixir of Life" and told him that it was a specialty of the Mage Guild and could only be obtained by those who were faithful to the service. Siegel only thinks that it is some kind of precious alchemical product, using various animals and plants to extract life force elixirs that can prolong life. Later, on Earth, he obtained the complete manufacturing method of the "Elixir of Youth", and only then did he discover that there was a subtle connection between the two. There are many traces of necromancy, spell, and change spells in the life potion, and the youth elixir is a complete life force refinement. The latter needs a living body to refine a non-renewable anti-aging ingredient, and only what is obtained from intelligent life can act on intelligent life, and Siegel will certainly not kill others to satisfy himself.

How to make the life potion of the Mage Guild has not been able to be deduced, but the elf elixir of youth has given him great inspiration. In addition, the goblins have a technique of cultivating an entire body from part of their flesh, and although it is still experimental, it can already be realized in Siegel's hands with the help of magic.

Siegel cultivated a self and called the spell "cloning" in the language of the goblins. Combined with the idea of astral projection, if one's own body dies unexpectedly, then the spirit and soul will come to the clone and stand up again.

The cultivation of clones takes two to four months and can be expensive, but if the spell works, then it's all worth it. This is the second life, and even if you can afford the price and time, you can have a third or fourth life.

Since clones are not sapient in the first place, they can be kept young forever with a youth potion extracted from non-sapient life. That's why the clone's heart rate can be so slow that by the time Siegel is old, he's still a young man.

Time and lifespan have always been the most troublesome problems for mages, and elves have a natural advantage in this regard. Mages of other races have to make a choice as they approach the end of their lives, whether to die or find a way to deceive the Grim Reaper. Most of those who are able to do so choose to turn themselves into lichs, or travel to outer planes with plenty of positive energy in order to extend their lifespans - that's fine, at least the autonomy is still in their hands. There are also some mages who choose to sign a contract with the devil in exchange for a longer lifespan through service.

Only a handful of mages have earned money in the process, and the vast majority of the rest have lost their souls and free will. Mages have been warned in this regard, but warnings are not necessarily useful when it comes to life and death decisions.

The Life Elixir of the Mage Guild is also a way out, but at the same time it is also a means of control, and it is difficult to say that Edith's "betrayal" was not affected by the Life Elixir. Perhaps from the very beginning, Edith was a staunch supporter of the Mage Guild, and no matter how good the Federation was to him, it could not remove the bond with the Mage Guild brought to him by the Life Elixir.

Now the situation will change. As long as Siegel's cloning is successfully developed, then it should be possible to win many mages from the Mage Association to join the Federation, or to come to Siegel's hands. Prolonging life is more likely to be preferred to the latter than to keeping your youth forever and having one more life. The rest is to weigh the cost of reaping the benefits.

This would be an even more influential spell invention than Myr's core, and the spell would even be named after Siegel. It's called Siegel cloning? might as well be called squid cloning, he thought to himself.

Now the only question is how to experiment with this spell. Only by killing the main body can the effect of the spell be verified. It was difficult for Siegel to do anything to himself, after all, if the spell failed, he would really die. There are not no ways to reverse death, such as the high priest who can perform resurrection. Resurrection comes at a cost, depending on whether the person trying to resurrect is a believer. No matter how devout an elven priest is, it is impossible to resurrect an orc dead - the war between the orcs and elves has basically not stopped since the beginning of the world.

Only a few of the major religions in the Kingdom of Stars have high-ranking priests who can perform resurrection, and Siegel decides to let them help. But another problem arises. As the owner of the dice, Siegel does not receive a response from the gods, and whether he can be resurrected is a big question mark. After a few trade-offs, Siegel decided to go to the Starry Kingdom to find another volunteer and contact the High Priest to prevent the spell from going wrong before he could actually start experimenting.

For now, though, he was still carefully cultivating his clone and planning to create another one based on his previous experience. Two to be exact, the second clone of himself and the first clone of Humke. The orcs don't care much about having a small piece of flesh taken from their bodies, anyway, they can slowly grow back after a few days, which is the problem of leaving a small scar.

Clones of orcs grow much faster than humans, and perhaps this difference will also be reflected in other races such as dwarves and elves. What will happen to the dragons? Siegel didn't dare to think about it for a moment. If you think about it carefully, maybe it's better not to tell the dragons about it. (To be continued.) )
