The cool medicine seeped into Raschel's back wound, but it brought a burning pain.
Raschel grinned in pain, "Damn, what are you using for me?" β
"Pain is a good thing, it means that the effect of the medicine is working, I have never seen a person so cruel to himself, before you I thought that only I could do such a desperate thing. Huey crouched behind Raschel with a small bowl of green mucus, and kept filling Raschel's back with drugs: "You almost broke your spine. β
"I did, but the pain diminished my strength a lot, and the damage of the Life Link took away some of my strength. Raschel replied. For the sake of Nicholas, Raschel really intends to fill in his own life.
"Why do you have to do this?" asked Huey.
"If you've lived alone for more than forty years, with no family, no wife, no children, and only one friend you can trust, then you know how important that friend is to you. β
Xiu Yi was silent, he thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand." β
He stood up, put the medicine bowl away, and leaned over to look at Midori's injuries.
"Is that good?" Raschel was a little surprised.
"Okay, I'll change your medication every day for the next three days. If you can wake up on the morning of the third day, then congratulations, you have a brush with death. β
Raschel muttered, "It's much simpler than I thought." β
Xiu Yi chuckled, "The process is much more complicated than you think, you have to be glad that you met me, and I have the recipe for this medicine in my hand." β
Saying that, Huey spread his hands, "So now, welcome to my lab, Mr. Raschel." Whatever you think, I still hope you can be my friend. β
Raschel gave Huey a deep look, taking in where he was.
With some difficulty, he stood up and came to the window, from which he could see the panoramic view of the Foggy Castle.
"If I'm right, this should be the Alchemy Tower?"
"That's right. Huey nodded.
"Only the students of Electra can inherit his legacy. Raschel muttered, "I'm not surprised at all. Ever since I knew you were Siser Dardaniel, I knew that sooner or later, you would crack the secrets here, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. β
At the moment, only Huey and Raschel were talking, and Avril was greatly stimulated one after another today, and had already fallen asleep under Huey's comfort.
Lying next to her were Red and Green, who seemed intimate.
Xiu Yi beckoned to Raschel and pointed at the Dream Crystal, "Come and see, I hope your spine doesn't affect your brain, I need your keen observation skills to help me make an analysis." β
Raschel staggered over, "What is this?"
Huey explained it roughly. When he heard that Electra was even able to reveal a pure energy body, Raschel couldn't help but admire that this legendary great alchemist was really omnipotent.
Playing the battle image on the Hidden Moon Peak again, Xiu Yi told him the secret about the Sanctuary that Isadore Nepper had told him, and then said, "I was too focused during the battle, I thought too much about it infinitely, and now that I think about it, there is a big problem with Nicholas's static realm." β
"What's the problem?"
"Powerful, too powerful!" Xiu Yi said very seriously, "Don't you think that his static realm is very similar to the forbidden demon realm and the forbidden martial realm?"
Raschel frowned, "Indeed, very much. However, according to you, the amount of power required to maintain such a realm is ridiculously large, and the realm caster himself cannot use any magic or fighting energy. β
"So Nicholas's still realm is definitely not the forbidden realm, there must be some kind of key that allows people to use magic, but we don't know. And now what we have to do is to find out this key, only in this way, can we continue to have the ability to resist under his realm!" Xiu Yi replied very seriously.
"It wasn't easy. Raschel watched the picture closely. Although these images have long been deeply imprinted in his mind, they have not been seen more clearly and intuitively in person. He asked Huey, "Do you have anything to show up?"
Xiui replied, "When I fell from the sky, I tried to use a wind spell, but it didn't work at all. According to Nicholas, everything in the realm of rest is stationary, and the wind is caused by the movement of air, and when the air is not flowing, the wind cannot be generated. So the magic elements still exist, but they no longer have the ability to respond to calls and react, as if they have entered a state of sleep, so I can't sense their presence. β
"But Nicholas was able to use lightning spells as usual. β
"This shows that there is something wrong with this. Xiuyi's face was very serious: "It is likely that what we see and feel is all an illusion. β
"Illusion?" Raschel's eyes narrowed. Those who knew him well knew that this action meant that Raschel was in a state of extreme thought and reminiscence. He thought for a moment, then said to Huey, "Let's see how Nicholas casts the spell." β
Huey spun the Dream Crystal, and the screen kept jumping, and the moment Nicholas cast the spell, Raschel shouted, "Stop!"
The picture stopped, and the thunder and lightning on Nicholas's body seemed to be fixed, and under the action of pure energy, it became a static picture.
"Here!" Raschel pointed to Nicholas's figure, "see his posture?"
"Yes. β
"From the release of the still realm to the end, he has not changed. Raschel affirmed: "Look at it again, his back is bleeding profusely from my attack." What is the instinctive reaction of a person when he is hurting?"
"Cover your wounds!" replied Huey.
Raschel gestured, and the picture moved again, but slowly, and Raschel kept pointing to various positions of Nicholas: "He has a hole in his back, a hole in his left hand, a hole in his left leg, and a hole in his right leg, and he is blind in his right eye, but he only screams in pain, but he never touches it." β
Xiu Yi also showed this abnormal reaction: "You're right, what do you think this means?"
"He can't move!" Raschel replied very seriously, "that's why he had to disarm the Static Realm in order to take out the Light Orb to untie the Life Link." In the stationary realm, he can't move! he moves once, and the magic disappears!"
"How so?" Xiu Yi frowned, "The still realm is a two-way existence, it seems to lower the flow of time, allowing time to ...... at many fractions of normality"
"Not true. Raschel immediately shook his head: "If time slows down, then we won't notice it at all, everything that should be born will still be born, magic will be released, and fighting energy will not be unable to gather." The reason why everything in the realm of stillness is slow is because our consciousness still retains its original degree, so it feels very slow. β
As he spoke, Raschel pointed to his eyes, ears, and nose: "Our facial features are all at a normal level, so we can see, hear, and speak, but we can't move normally, and we can't use the power of magic." But Nicholas, on the other hand, is immobile, but can invoke the power of magic to attack anyone in his realm. You say that domains are bound in both directions, so what do you think that means?"
Xiuy's eyes lit up: "It's not that he can't move, but because that's why he can release magic!"
The answer is out.
But how did Nicholas do it? The most important answer is still unanswered.
Huey and Raschel observe, study and speculate on the possibilities around the picture made of the dreamy crystal. But there is no possible explanation for Nicholas's release of magic.
"Is this guy really going to be out of the rules as long as his body doesn't move?, what kind of rules can get him out of the **?" exclaimed Huey with some distress.
At this time, suddenly a voice came.
"The meaning of the existence of rules is to bind everyone, but often the ones who are really constrained are those who do not understand the rules. So for the emperor, law, morality, are just a tool, a deceptive existence. β
Huey and Raschel looked over at the same time, only to see Avril with Green in her arms, talking in a daze. Although the little girl is rude, she usually contacts her father and brother, and has heard a lot of education about the emperor's art, and at this moment she took Xiuyi's words in confusion.
After saying this, Avril woke up a little, she opened her eyes, and saw two people looking at her blankly, startling her: "You guys...... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Huey suddenly rushed over and hugged Avril and kissed her fiercely on the cheek: "That's a great point, Avril, you helped me solve a big problem! Oh my God, Avril Lavigne, I love you to death!"
Avril stared blankly at Huey, who was so sleepy by the sudden kiss that she stammered, "You mean...... I helped you?"
"Yes!" Huey replied affirmatively.
Avril's face flushed, and she stuck out her tongue lightly, looking very cute, and said in a low mosquito-like voice, "Oh, that'...... So you go ahead...... I...... I continued to sleep ......"
Said to be sleeping, lying on the floor Avril Avril's mind was full of the words that Huey had just said: he said he loved me...... He said he loved me...... Oh my god, I've finally waited......
Her whole person was going to be * off with excitement.
**βAvril is still basking in Huey's inadvertent shock, and Raschel asks Huey, "What are you doing?"
Xiu Yi gritted his teeth: "Damn Nicholas, he lied to us, this is not a static realm at all!
"Add a field?" Raschel didn't understand.
Xiu Yi immediately said: "Whether it is slowing down the flow of time, or banning demons and martial arts in all directions, it is a huge rule change, and it will consume a lot of domain power, which is something that no holy domain is willing to do." Only maximizing one's strengths is the best choice for the Sanctuary. What were Nicholas's strengths before using the field?"
"Instantaneous power spells. Raschel replied.
"That's right!" Huey snapped his fingers, "The use of magic is a very esoteric science, and the existence of each spell has its own special meaning. We use the army as an analogy, the magician is the commander of the army, and those magical elements are the soldiers, who change their formation according to the commander's orders, so as to form a variety of different magical effects. Without a spell, there is no order, and the troops cannot act. So under what circumstances can troops be allowed to move without issuing orders?"
Without waiting for Raschel to reply, Huey himself said, "There are many ways to do this, such as using flags and trumpets instead of spoken commands, such as pre-setting mission orders, or replacing everything with the simplest command in battle, which is to rush forward. β
Raschel understood: "Replacing this situation with magic, all instantaneous spells still can't escape the process of delivering orders, except that Nicholas uses not spells to cast them, but in other ways. But what does this have to do with the field?"
"It has a lot to do with it!" Xiu Yi Zhengse said: "This bastard, he deliberately called his realm the realm of stillness in order to deceive everyone, in fact, it is not everything in the space around stillness at all, but adds the reactivity of our five senses." That's why everything is slowing down, but our senses of sight, hearing, and smell aren't affected in the slightest!
"I see!" Raschel suddenly realized, "so we didn't slow down, but the feeling was many times faster, and everything around us slowed down." β
"That's right!"
"But if that's the case, why can't you use magic?"
"Because the spell is not working as well as it should, every word of the spell should have a precise and clear pronunciation, with a special meaning, so that the command can be conveyed clearly. When I thought I was chanting a mantra in a normal degree, in fact, the sound I was making was so fast that it was a dull sound that only those who had added the same facial features could understand it. It's like if you listen to a language from another country, you can't even understand a word, you just feel that they speak very fast, and it is completely normal for them to speak. Nicholas made me think that the elemental flow was slowing down and I couldn't respond to my spells, but it wasn't them who were wrong, it was us, and it was my spells that weren't working as well as they should. Actually, as long as I lower the level of the mantra, it will work!" At this, Xiui almost shouted.
"And what about vindictiveness?
"It's the same thing!" replied Xiuyi, "The static realm adds to our senses, but it makes the fighting qi in the body function normally. When I invoke power, I also have to direct the operation of the fighting spirit. But the vindictive spirit could not keep up with the rhythm of our instructions, resulting in confusion and making me mistakenly believe that I could not invoke the power of the vindictive spirit...... Coupled with the fact that Nicholas was laughing arrogantly over there, triumphant, and thundering in the air, it dealt us a major psychological blow, as if the whole world really belonged to him alone. Not really......" Huey looked at Raschel and said seriously, "Remember how I blinded you?" Nicholas panicked and slashed my sword with lightning. With the degree of sword I felt at the time, it was so slow that it could even make a snail crawl over my back, and I hadn't stabbed you yet. But what happened? I almost killed you. What does that mean?"
"It means that your degree is not slow, and his magic is not so fast. Raschel replied.
"That's right. Xiu Yi smiled, "Look, this is this damn still realm. It makes us think we're slow, but it's not. Nicholas was able to spell instantly, which meant he had a better way of giving orders. So he can bypass the spell barrier problem!"
"So when you meet him again, are you sure you'll be able to cast your magic?"
Xiuyi's face turned gloomy: "No, I'm still not sure. Know that I can use magic by lowering words, but I don't know how much I have to lower......"
Raschel immediately understood.
They finally reveal the secret of the still realm, only to realize that the secret is not as critical as they thought.
Nicholas is indeed a brilliant character, and by adding the five senses to create the illusion of stillness around him, even if you reveal this secret, you can't break through it immediately. The reason lies in the mastery of the rhythm. You don't know how many times you've been boosted, or how many degrees you'll need to slow down to get used to the chanting of the magic spell. You can feel it, but magic requires precision. If your five senses are increased tenfold, but you chant the mantra nine times as much, the result is the same and it doesn't work. Even if you chant a spell at a lower than normal level, the magic elemental will not react at all. You must know that magic is a very strict thing, whether it is spells, words, pronunciation, rhythm, there are strict requirements, and it cannot be arbitrarily modified.
If he can cultivate in this state for a long time, Xiu Yi believes that he can solve this problem. But apart from the static realm, where do Xiu Yi have the opportunity to adapt?
On the contrary, Nicholas himself can do it.
Because he has his own secret method, he doesn't need to chant spells to use magic, so there is almost zero resistance to his use of magic in this still realm. And it doesn't matter if you want to use magic that requires spells, because he can control the rhythm.
This is the biggest advantage of the domain creators, they can take advantage of the same rules, and even if others show up, they can only stare dryly. Because when they set the rules, they set them according to their own strengths and abilities.
They make the rules, they use the rules!
"In other words, unless you are also able to instantaneously spell, or you can cultivate in the state of the still realm for a long time, you will never be able to use magic in the still realm, right?"
"Yes, but it's good that you can wield the power of fighting energy, but you can't use combat skills, and the feeling in battle will be very bad. I will always feel that I am slow and full, and I will never be able to fight calmly, so I will not be able to control the rhythm of the battle. Huey's voice was full of regret.
This realm of Nicholas is indeed terrifying, it not only closes the combat skills of high-level warriors, but also seals the magic abilities of magicians. The only way to win against him may be to use human lives.
Tens of millions of soldiers to storm Nicholas until he runs out of power is the best way to do it.
Regardless, this answer was frustrating for both men.
Sometimes the most frustrating thing in the world is not that you can't find your opponent's secret, but that you can't use it if you find it.
At this moment, Raschel suddenly said, "If that's the case, then why did Nicholas still release magic through his static state in the realm?"
Xiuyi's eyes lit up: "What do you mean ......?"
Raschel hurried to the picture of the Dream Crystal, pointed to Nicholas's right hand and said, "Look here." β
Following Raschel's gesture, Huey saw Nicholas flex a little finger, an action that was so subtle that it was impossible to see without paying attention.
Corresponding to it, an electric current from Nicholas's body went straight to his little finger.
Xiu Yi immediately turned his face again. When Nicholas stopped casting the spell again, Raschel pointed at Nicholas: "This time it's the ring finger." β
The same faint electric current, flowing from Nicholas's body through his ring finger, flashed like a spark.
"What does this mean?" Raschel asked Huey, who was clearly far inferior to Huey in his understanding of magic.
"It's not clear yet, but it looks like it has something to do with Nicholas's instantaneous spell. As I said, a spell is a command, and a spell can be omitted, but a command cannot be dispensed with. So Nicholas must have some way to replace the spell to give instructions, so as to achieve the effect of using magic faster, and he can also ignore the five senses in the still realm. β
Huey stared at Nicholas's every movement, the picture was played by him over and over again, even his mournful wailing did not let go, when Nicholas finally angrily lifted the field, connected the dots with his fingers, and then a large number of thunderbolts traveled all over his body to repair his body, Huey suddenly remembered something: "Raschel, when have you ever heard that thunder spells have a recovery spell?"
"Never heard of it. Raschel replied.
On the screen, Nicholas's body is rapidly recovering from the thunderstorm, and his eyes are flashing with lightning, as bright as stars at night.
Xiu Yi looked at Nicholas's eyes in a daze, looked at his wandering electric light, and suddenly realized in his heart, he shouted: "Look at his eyes, his body is filled with a lot of thunder elements, I understand! This guy has turned his body into a magic knot! He is using his body to release magic, he is no longer human, he is a half-human, half-elemental monster!"
