Chapter 221: Dissonance
Text-only online reading of the domain name of Biquge
One question - how do humans understand the phenomena they are exposed to?
For example, when a spark suddenly ignites, when the phenomenon is revealed to the observer, his first reaction is the heat emitted from its combustion...... Or is it its flickering light and shadow?
All the "elements" that make things concrete are the information they contain, and the mages store this information unconsciously. Understand what is contained in all kinds of things, interpret them in a personal way, and finally reconstruct the phenomenon in reality with your own will.
The reverse description means that the magicians knew exactly how to make the world aware of the form of "fire". When they want to construct the phenomenon of "flame", they only need to take out the information that they have in their impression of "flame" and cover the world with their own will.
As a result, it's not exactly comprehension that determines a sorcerer's talent - it's probably just the foundation of the basics. To be a good Wizard, a learner must possess excellent intelligence analysis skills and the ability to adapt to situations that are forced to change.
For a sorcerer, most of the known information has already been sorted in his mind, and as long as he sees it, he can compare it in his own database to find the most similar information. Conversely, if there is a discordant deviation in the given intelligence, they tend to get into a dilemma.
So......
"Damn...... What the hell is this!" a mage covered his head and groaned, and not only him, but also his companions around him showed unbearable expressions, "Is it a voice? or something...... No, how can such a thing be stored zài!"
They can't understand the syllables that should be understood, and they can't grasp its message when it comes to their ears without any mistakes. It is impossible to classify them. It wasn't just something out of the ordinary, they pressed their ears tightly, and a moan of confusion squeezed out between their teeth.
The strange scales gave the sorcerers a splitting headache, and they could barely maintain their balance, and could only hold on to the rocks around them one by one. Struggled in the wind and rain. Dissonance haunts them, a feeling that is even more unbearable than having an OCD person look at a subtly sloping landscape.
"Well, that's a good question. ”
Just as the guards were giving their comrades a headache, a dark figure appeared in front of them silently: "Although I would also like to know what this voice is...... But you don't seem to know what it is. ”
The strange light that enveloped his palms flashed in the darkness of the rainy night, and the sorcerer who was supposed to be guarding the gate with his life was subdued. They were so subjected to strange noises that they fell to the ground before they could even use a warning spell to warn their companions.
"Who knows?" Lizzie, who was also covering her ears, staggered behind Curt. He angrily kicked the guard who had fainted to the ground, and then complained, "No matter what the body of this 'voice' is, I dare say that the guys who control it are not well-intentioned. ”
Lizzie is more skilled in spells than she can almost exclusively use magic power, but that also means that she is more susceptible to the dissonance. Although she struggled to get used to the unpleasant sound. But the grotesque frequencies still threw her thinking into a tailspin.
These sounds have long since lost their harshness or not, after all, some composers especially express unpleasant sounds in their works in order to express their own ideas. But whatever the composers made this choice for, they probably couldn't accept it.
It's a deliberate halftone difference between two high notes at the same time, and if you hear it a little, you will notice the discomfort hidden in it.
"Something is wrong... It's ...... feeling," Lizzie said softly.
Sorcery is a technique that can influence the "principles" of the world with its own power, and the information gathered can interfere with the material world and produce a phenomenon that the caster needs. However, if a spell exhibits a phenomenon that is difficult for most wizards to understand, it is often not a "normal" spell either.
Involving the whole body, the slightest change in intelligence will spread out a very large anomalous effect. I'm afraid inside this rock colossus. A strange change is being staged unnoticed, and the process of its change has shaken even the magicians who have devoted themselves to studying the principles of the world.
It is the dream of every sorcerer to know the knowledge contained in all things in the world, but no one has yet been able to do so. Information that contradicts what I know appears in front of me. Most of the mage's first reaction is to look for the source of this phenomenon.
But what kind of phenomenon will appear in the source of this strange magic, I am afraid that no one but the initiator will be able to find out. The "knowledge" that can be manipulated by magic to transform the image is not at all something that people who do not understand its basic principles can easily associate with.
Behind the discordant door, I am afraid that it has turned into a space full of unknowns, and its influence is gradually expanding. It's like standing next to a pool of water that is gradually heating up, and the heat spreading around you can feel even those who haven't entered it.
"Damn...... Do you mean those guys...... Kurt. Slam the door!"
I don't know what I thought of, but Liqi, who was originally following Curt, suddenly gritted her teeth fiercely. Then swipe your finger hard in the empty air.
Ding――
A series of minor bells echoed through the void, disrupting subtle dissonances. Lizzie seemed to be deliberately trying to challenge the grotesque. Tune it with the same type of sound - as soon as the bell rings, the strange feeling that overflows the air is immediately diluted.
At the same time, Curt also rushed out, a shimmer of magic wrapped around the weapon in his hand, and slammed into the blue-gray metal door. With a low roar, the door made of special materials twisted in an instant, and Curt and Lizzie rushed out of the passage on the other side.
At this moment, the two of them saw an obviously "abnormal" scene—a strange scene that emerged in front of them along with the stale smoke.
The dusty passage was mottled with moss, the heavy stone and brick steps were full of broken marks, and even the dust scattered in the corners seemed to be full of traces of time—if there were only these, this would be a rare old passageway.
The problem is that the passage that should have been lifeless has a life here that should not have existed. The heavy walls seemed to turn into the organs of some kind of giant beast, like waves and slowly undulating, and the moss marks covering the walls were the blood vessels stirring inside the organs.
"Damn...... It made me almost blind. If I had known who had made it, I'd have to punish that bastard. ”
To be sure, this is a unique sight, but it doesn't seem to be the case in Lizzie's eyes: "One of the principles is probably the message that minerals have life - but choosing to use this method is definitely a matter of 'evil'." Even if a mage had ever tried to blow 'real' life into clay figurines with only human form, they wouldn't have intended to turn them into such monsters. ”
As she chattered, she immediately closed her left eye to endure the pain. The phrase "my eyes are going blind" just now is not a casual complaint, these information that forcibly distorts the principles of the world with personal will are indeed high-level spells, and just a little hearing about them makes people dizzy.
The moment she saw the dense magical structure, Lizzie only felt a sharp headache transmitted directly to the inside of the eye socket. The sharp pain was so intense that she could only force it with her eyes closed, and for more than ten seconds, she waited in silence for the pain to disappear.
"You're all right?" Curt paused and looked back at Lizzie, "There's no need to be reckless, after all, it's not a spell that needs to damage your body to decipher. ”
"There is no problem - the corresponding analysis is ongoing. The pain slowly disappeared, and Lizzie looked back at the space around her angrily, "Our enemy is likely to be a magician who plays with evil ways, and it is necessary to decipher his tricks first to solve him." ”
Under the spell control that she dismissed as "evil ways", the wall was still pulsating, and just looking at the surface, it could be seen that its interior was full of strange magic, and the reverberating dissonance was coming from it. And this series of fluctuations without exception came from the front of the channel.
On the staircase where the two of them walked, there were several sorcerers lying in a row, all of them lying in the corners of the passage in a dazed state, not even having the strength to move their fingers. It was as if the power in their bodies had been swallowed up by this wriggling channel, becoming the energy of its movement.
Ironically, however, these people don't know that they are being used by their peers, and they want to use every last bit of strength to hinder them.
"It's ridiculous, it looks like that guy even intends to use his own companions as food for this spell. Lizzie kicked the sorcerer's hand away disdainfully, "And these guys are really incredible, they have all been sold by their own people, and they want to help them calculate how much they have earned." ”
Who the hell are they—she muttered with a gloomy face.
Obviously, those who fell to the ground did not know how dangerous the spells used by their companions were. The dissonance of the bells that had been summoned by Lizzie became apparent again, and those affected by the spell became even more lifeless.
Every sign was that they were getting closer to the core of the current situation, so the further up the two of them went, the more obvious the anomaly caused by the spell became. (To be continued)
