Chapter 125: True Names and True Names Can't Be Catered Together

For the sake of his own safety, he still needs to be very cautious when using money bugs, so as not to be hacked to death by the legendary boss who fell from the sky.

However, by studying the influence of the White Dragon on its lair and surrounding territories, Chan and Lily were able to learn to further improve their dimensional attune to the Great River Territory.

After all, theoretically, Lily, who uses the same plane for the entire Great River Territory, regards almost all the areas covered and radiated by the Tree of Life as her own lair.

The area around the legendary dragon's lair is altered by the dragon's presence, which scholars often refer to as the "nest effect".

Take, for example, the unknown white dragon they faced.

The frost mountain where it lives has been winding and snowing since it woke up, and the snow around it has become thicker and thicker, but it has always maintained a certain height.

The excess snow has disappeared without a trace, and it is confusing.

In fact, it was the blizzard from the edge of the water and air elemental planes that appeared in this plane and disappeared again.

At the same time, the rivers within a few kilometers of it have been frozen, and all the new life forms born within a few kilometers - except for the Frost Giant, the ancient enemy, have a chance to become half-dragons.

Dragons don't necessarily need physical contact to spread their bloodline, magic is the essence of their true power.

These extra half-dragons are naturally affinity with the white dragon as the source, and they have undergone abnormal changes on both the physical and magical levels.

But correspondingly, its temperament will also begin to move closer to the source of the bloodline, and the white dragon will become suspicious, cunning, dull and stupid.

Besides.

Dragons can instantly recognize the death of any creature within 1 kilometer of their lair, and take their last sights.

Or enter the dream realm of any creature within 6 kilometers and act and transform as you like.

It can even sense anyone pronouncing its real name and hearing them communicate with people nearby for the next period of time.

"Isn't this already close to the gods? Try bombarding it with a DDOS attack? ”

Chen Zhou wanted to try this trick when he heard that the gods would sense other people's thoughts, but his strong desire to survive made him give up this act of death.

Now that he learned that the dragon in the lair had similar abilities, he couldn't bear it.

"It's just that we don't know exactly what its full name is......"

Chen remembers calling himself "David" when he was above the walls of Lionheart, but the dragon's full name is actually much longer than that, often complex and obscure, reflecting the grandeur of the dragon's ancient language.

"It's useless, it's not easy to call out the real names of dragons or various creatures."

Before Chen Xun could figure out how to find out the dragon's real name, the rat on the side struck.

"There are two kinds of real names, one is a sociological code name, and the other is a name in the original language of the multiverse."

Hearing this, Chen recalled the echo of creation in the mouth of the spotted cat.

"Could it be that a real name in the magical sense is something more special?"

"Of course, isn't it possible that a mortal can give himself a name that can be changed casually and still have magical powers?"

There are many people named Zhang San, but the name "Zhang San" does not have any effect on the magic level, and only the real name that can represent his ID number is absolutely unique and can represent a person from the underlying logic.

When you speak the original words of the universe, you are using the power of creation—because the power to describe things is the power to create things.

The real name encompasses everything in reality, everything in the present, past, and future in the world has a real name, but just writing it down has no special power.

Only by saying your real name out loud can you change everything in the world.

However, mantras are made up of hundreds of consonants and thousands of nuanced vowels, and they need to be spoken in great rhythm.

As a result, the chant needs a lot of pronunciation instruction, and a book can take several pages to describe a real name.

"True Name Chanting" is based on the knowledge developed by this technology.

"So isn't the ability 'Real Name Alert' completely meaningless?" Chen Zhou has fully understood the difficulty of DDOS attacks, "It is impossible for thousands of people to sing the real name of the target correctly at the same time, right?" ”

This is much more troublesome than mentioning God's name and being perceived by the other person.

"Still, if a dragon understands the magic of mantra, he can combine his real name with his name to a certain extent, so that others will react when they call out a specific name."

But even Lily doesn't know magic in the truth, and it is absolutely impossible for the white dragon to master this kind of high-end knowledge.

Hearing this, Chen Zhou was thoughtful, didn't this mean that as long as he learned the magic of mantra, he could also combine his real name with his name?

"Lily had heard of that ritual, it was very—troublesome, the chanting of her real name was even more difficult than casting magic, and the spirit of speech was even more complicated to the point that it became more and more difficult to use."

There are two types of real names:

The first is the generic real name, which is defined by the type of target creature and what it is doing, such as "the civet emissary who is fishing".

The second is a private real name, that is, a real name that belongs only to the individual, such as "XXX's XXX's XXX's son XXX's XXX".

Generally speaking, the more special a being's true name is, the more difficult it is to be sung, and many have speculated that this is because these people can achieve more, so the universe pays more attention to them.

As a result, the real names of these people have become more important to the universe and more difficult to pronounce.

From this point of view, it would be more difficult for Chen to correctly describe his real name than for him to do a handstand on the horizontal bar and have his finger check for a specific number of digits of pi while doing a full spin of Thomas.

"It's such a troublesome system, no wonder I've never seen a real famous teacher."

But on the other hand, a true master who has mastered the relevant skills can easily achieve feats that are difficult for even magic to achieve.

Some casters who have both cast and chant their real names can also chant their real names between spells when casting, making it harder for the target to resist their spell effects.

Even in the case of learning that a specific private real name exists, it is possible to ignore the direct threat of strength and even control the other party for their own use.

Because of this, many powerful beings such as Demon Lords and Devil Grand Dukes in the Outer Realm usually try their best to hide their true names.

Of course, first they have to figure out what their real names are.

Considering the difficulty of real name magic, Chen decisively gave up the operation of DDOS attacks...... Unless he has the courage to test the true God.

"But real name magic doesn't require any quality or talent, as long as it's smart enough and with constant practice, study, trial and error, and memorization, I might be able to try to study it."

Behind the Veil:

The root of the magic of the real name

The magical power of names is a perennial theme in fantasy literature, and there have been many previous attempts to add the theme to Dungeons & Dragons games, and the Magic Scroll represents a huge effort to make real names a complete set of rules. The main purpose of using this set of real name magic rules is to allow players to create and master characters who can use real names. From there, characters can learn the real names of certain things, gradually build their own thesaurus, and deepen their control over everything in the world through these real names; However, the literary origins of true name magic don't work well with role-playing games.

For example, a True Name Master who knows the true name of a goblin will be powerful when encountering a goblin, but the True Name Master may be weak when other creatures are fighting, making it no fun to venture outside of the goblin lair.

The rules of real-name magic need to move away from the original fantasy setting, and instead of making nouns (such as goblins' real names) the core power of real names, they make verbs the rare and powerful root of real names. This means that no matter if a real master encounters a goblin or a lizardman, he will have the power to fight, and like any other class, his attacks and abilities are full of variables.
