Chapter 1378 The Rhapsody of Salein

The latest station name: Mubi Pavilion The latest website:

Kane didn't know much about Salaine.

Before being regarded as a special race, Salein was first an organization established by Arthas, the chief filial son of Azeroth after becoming the Lich King.

The main material source of Salayne is the Quel'dorei elves.

Some of them were collected when Alsace led his army to attack Silvermoon City, and some were collected when Alsace returned to defend the Frozen Throne and fought with the Illidan army who tried to use the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the Icecrown Citadel Gained. At that time, the Quel'dorei elves headed by Kael'thas had changed their name to Sin'dorei, and followed Illidan, trying to solve the problem of magic addiction caused by the destruction of the Sunwell.

As an organization, Saraine played an important role in the Scourge.

The main reason is that the Scourge Legion is essentially an upstart military group that uses undead as cannon fodder. It has no background, and it can even be said that it is seriously lacking in organizational and military talents.

As for the predecessors of the Saleins, just because one of them lived long enough gave them an advantage over ordinary short-lived species in terms of knowledge and experience.

It can even be said that even if the major is not suitable, its theoretical and practical level is much higher than that of returned corpses of other races.

That's right, reanimated corpses, this is Kane's characterization of the Salein.

From an extraordinary academic point of view, reanimated corpses belong to the category of undead and psychic.

From the point of view of characteristics, it belongs to the ghost spirit among dark creatures.

There is a movie called {Back to Life} in the original world, which coincidentally highlights the characteristics of the reincarnated corpse.

The general flow of the movie is that a small scientific research team invented a potion to bring the dead back to life, experimented on dogs, and succeeded.

So they quickly made a decision to repeat this success to prove that the drug was indeed effective, and at the same time use the whole video as one of the evidences of this invention.

As a result, extreme joy gave birth to sorrow. A female doctor in the small team died due to a low-level mistake.

The female doctor's husband, who was also a member of the small team, tried his best to inject the female doctor with the medicine to bring the dead back to life, and then the female doctor really revived like a corpse.

Not only is he alive, but his brain has also been developed, and he even possesses superpowers such as mind power and mind reading.

But the corresponding price is that everything is remembered in every detail, especially those things that make her feel self-blame, guilty, and regretful, which are infinitely magnified and repeated frequently, tormenting her and destroying her.

From the perspective of outsiders, the female doctor is falling into a state similar to sleepwalking more and more frequently, and it is still a nightmare. The temperament also changes gradually, at the beginning it was only irritable and irritable, and later it can be called blackening.

This is the basic characteristic of a reincarnated corpse. To put it bluntly, it means going through hell and turning your personality into a devil. But to use the magical version of the scientific explanation, it is that the soul is eroded and blackened by negative energy.

Because it is inextricably linked with the power of darkness, Kane naturally has quite in-depth research on this.

As for the conclusion of the research, Kane believes that the most critical point here is the curse of the law.

To be more specific, this law refers to the laws of nature and the laws of heaven.

The reincarnation of life and death is in order, and death and resurrection is inverse. If you operate in reverse, you must bear the curse of the law.

This also includes a key point, which is the 'ritual feature'.

In the extraordinary realm, there are many ways to prolong life, one of which is to blur the boundary between life and death. It is difficult to define whether it counts as life or death. The essence of this operation is to avoid the curse of the law by removing the "ceremonial characteristics".

And most deaths have clear 'ceremonial characteristics', and the reincarnated corpse is under the background of carrying the curse of the law to live, so it is classified as the undead type.

Although it is undead, it is not as muddled as low-level undead like zombies, nor is it reawakened on the basis of immortality like high-level undead. It's the cursed soul, re-manipulating the body, just like a living person.

Revenant corpses are also divided into grades and categories.

The lowest-level reincarnation is actually trash + monster.

It is said to be a waste because although it has wisdom, it has fallen into a state of personality disorder due to the curse of the law. This kind of mental instability makes it difficult to be competent no matter what it does.

The monster understands it better. Its personal consciousness quickly collapses due to the curse of the law, and it loses its rationality and has many illusions. It seems to be suffering in hell. It's not uncommon for something terrible to happen.

And if there is a low level, there will naturally be a high level. It can even be said that the reincarnated corpse is an important genre used by extraordinary people to avoid death, and the lich is a branch developed on the basis of it.

Looking at the specific gameplay of the Lich, it regards the body as a tool, and even many transcendents who walk the path of the Lich do not pay attention to the original body of the body, but collect the body with a high degree of potential development or high blood potential as a consciousness. habitat.

Note that it is the habitat of the consciousness, not the soul. The soul of the lich is sealed in the soul box, so that there is no need to go through hell, or in other words, the inevitable path for the soul to go to the underworld after death is changed from passive to active.

I took the initiative to plan a death, actively arrange the inevitable journey of the soul to the underworld after death, and then find a way to add fuel, not to enter the reincarnation, but to hide in the soul box, and then play consciousness projection, so as to achieve the goal of continuing activities in the material world Purpose.

The consciousness projection here is somewhat similar to the thought body and echo, but it is different.

Kane is now playing an advanced version of this kind of trick. He has projected his main consciousness into the current body of Warcraft Cosmic Wave, just like a person lying in the game cabin to play VR games. His main consciousness is in the virtual world. But if you prick it with a needle in reality, you will feel and respond.

Undoubtedly, this is a profound gameplay that requires powerful thoughts to build a stable imitation soul to replace the soul.

There are also some liches who are taking another path, that is, turning the soul box into a receiver with the priority of the law, and then perform the operation of class seizing.

Once died due to various reasons, the soul box will be superior to the laws of heaven, and the soul will be taken away, so that it will not enter the underworld or reincarnation.

No matter which one it is, due to factors including technology and other objective conditions, there are differences between high and low. The high one will naturally have a very low loss, and a new round of seizure operations will be carried out soon, and the low one is the vitality. A serious injury, or a wisp of remnant soul, takes a long time to recover, or even permanent damage, which cannot be recovered.

In short, the series of Resurrected Corpse really cares about it, and it is quite delicate.

Take the Scourge created by the Lich King of the Universe of Warcraft as an example. There are at least three types of mid-level and above applications of reanimated corpses.

The first category is the famous Knights of the Ebon Blade, Death Knights.

The Lich King highlighted the 'restriction' feature in the use of this kind of reincarnated corpse technology.

The memories of the death knights are basically suppressed, but the personality is still the original personality, and then the Lich King brainwashed + awakened, the former is to instill a new set of cognition, so that the death knight becomes the ultimate natural disaster, the ultimate Lich King's high The latter is to selectively activate some deep memories related to professional abilities, and even muscle memory.

This is why death knights are mostly high-level fighters and knights.

This kind of gameplay naturally has great hidden dangers. After all, deep memory is not only professional, but also involves more life and emotions.

Still the same sentence, even Kane, the Creator, can't keep the memories he wants, and completely erase the ones he doesn't want. Such a subtle super operation for the soul, the Lich King and his ilk are even worse Far.

Moreover, suppression and containment will cause accumulation, and it is only a matter of time before the outbreak occurs.

The Lich King obviously understood this too, so while he was still under control, he ordered the Black Wind Knights to attack the Holy Light's Hope Chapel.

This operation can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. It consumes the high-level cannon fodder that is about to get out of control, inflicts heavy damage on the enemy, completes the blasphemy ritual, draws out the important figures of the enemy to kill them, and collects more remains of the holy knights to concoct a new batch of death knights... …Look, just count them at random.

The second category of high-end operations of the Scourge's reanimated corpses, Scourge researchers, acolytes, and psychic mages.

The main characteristic of this category is faith.

Needless to say, acolytes and psychic masters are mostly greedy and self-willed to degenerate.

As far as natural disaster researchers are concerned, it is not difficult to see from their fanatical research attitudes that these are extreme beliefs and beliefs, fanatics who distort the concept of right and wrong.

This kind of people who went on evil paths before they died resisted the curse of the law through their strong obsessions that were strengthened by various manipulations. They were as smelly and hard as toilet stones in the soul world. The curse of the law is added to the body, and it is overshadowed. It's already scum, and they don't care if it's a little more scum.

The third type of high-end operation of the Scourge's reanimated corpse is Salein.

Kane believes that this is also the most technically compelling type of reincarnated corpse of the Scourge. It can even be said that its technical force is a bit super-class.

Does Ner'zhul, the Lich King, have such abilities?

Does the Nathrezim have such abilities?

Sargeras, Kil'jaeden, and Archimonde of the Burning Legion's Big Three have this ability?

Why do you say that?

Because looking at the past and present of the Burning Legion and even the Lich King, they have always been in an embarrassing state of insufficient talent. And the reincarnated corpse technology involved in the creation of Salein is another technology that can greatly improve this predicament. Therefore, this contradiction appears to be very inconsistent.

Let’s talk about Sargeras first. In order to attract Kil’jaeden and Archimonde, he did a lot of tricks, and he did fulfill a considerable part of his promise.

And behind this, isn't it because the Eredars have accumulated tens of thousands of years of magical civilization?

The Eredars can be said to be the core race of the entire Burning Legion, none of them. The key positions in various fields are all controlled by the Eredars.

Going down, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden were already leaders of Eredar before joining the Burning Legion, but they were repeatedly defeated in Azeroth. One important reason is the lack of qualified internal support. .

The Lich King's sense of disobedience in this regard has reached its peak. Since Kel'Thuzad has such amazing technology, let Kel'Thuzad dig his grave. Azeroth has been stronger than Alsace in history. If it is to deal with Nathrezim's supervision, it can also be a bright line and N dark lines.

Using the technique of returning soul corpses from Salein to take all kinds of strong men for his own use, why did Illidan force him to rely on Alsace's Wanli to rescue him?

Anyway, Kane doesn't think it's inappropriate to have a good sense of independence, and there is no good in insisting on 'weareone' with others. Not to mention the risks involved, the difference in thinking is also a gap between the two, Ner'zhul is an orc after all.

To put it more bluntly, no matter how strong Alsace is, he is just a death knight with the title of Prince of Lordaeron. Can his professional ability be better than Mograine? And even if he is the No. 1 death knight with good luck, the half body of the death knight is just one of the many types of servants concocted by the Lich King. People who love dogs and fit with dogs are probably two different things, right?

It can only be said that the Lich King at that time had no other tricks. The Frozen Throne had been cracked. In order to save itself, it bestowed a lot of power on Alsace. Commander, if the Lich King doesn't weare one with Alsace while he still has some control, he will be killed by Alsace without waiting for Alsace to wake up like Mograine later. You must know that evil groups don't have such a thing as monarchs, virtuous officials and loyal ministers. They lose authority because they lose power, and normal ones can no longer be normal.

Then let's look at the characteristics of Salein. The main characteristic of Salein is rationality.

Fanatics with strong obsessions are basically equated with neuropathy. This kind of stuff engages in research and development, and can produce something eye-catching with passion. I dare not even think about it.

Memory suppressors are dangerous products. No one can accurately know whether they have awakened their memories during their lifetime, or to what extent they have awakened.

Such a type of person is obviously not a suitable candidate to hold power for a long time. It is a more appropriate choice to let them form an army alone and operate under surveillance. The Lich King did the same.

And Salein became the least bad choice. Including Alsace after the integration, it also reuses Salayne, either the senior generals and staff of the Scourge, or the guards, such as the Blood Council headed by the Blood Queen Lannathel, which is the last obstacle to the Ice Crown Throne. It can be seen that the Lich King relies heavily on it.

So, Salain is so easy to use, why is there only such a rational reincarnated corpse based on the Quel'dorei elves?

Kane believes that unless the rational reanimation technology represented by Salain is not in the hands of the Lich King at all.

Kane analyzed further.

He didn't have a living body of Selain to dissect, and he didn't observe the whole process, including the transformation process, the character differences before and after the transformation, and other information one by one for comparative analysis.

He just conducts a comprehensive analysis from the perspective of the technology he has mastered.

The key point is how to bypass the curse of law and how to guarantee loyalty.

To be more specific, he believes that the curse of the law has not been completely bypassed in the process of Sarain's concocting. It even took advantage of some of the characteristics of the curse of the law. This line of thought alone is superior to the general resistance line of thought.

As for the basis for the curse of the law, it is the blackening of the target person.

Although the Quel'dorei elves are arrogant, most of the three views are normal, which can be seen from the universal morality of their civilization.

But those of the Lich King family are typical anti-humanity and anti-life.

From being normal in three views to anti-humanity and anti-life, the Salaines have obviously experienced a considerable degree of blackening during the process of returning to their souls.

And the first characteristic that Salein showed was 'rationality'.

This means that blackening is moderate, and exceeding the limit will cause the consciousness and personality to collapse and become a lunatic or a monster.

The grasp of scale is the embodiment of technical force.

Moreover, not only should the blackening be moderate, but also the sequelae should be low.

After all, the Salaines have been in power for a long time, and their spirits are not stable enough, so it is definitely not acceptable to suffer from seizures from time to time.

There is no doubt that it is also a manifestation of technical force.

On the contrary, it is loyalty control. In Kane's view, if the first two technical difficulties can be overcome well, this one is not a technical difficulty.

Because blackening itself represents a kind of cognitive closeness. The Lich King himself is anti-human and anti-life. Blackening in the general sense refers to no lower limit, no integrity, distortion of three views, etc., so blackening is It is barely equivalent to becoming the same kind of cognitive intelligent creature as the Lich King, and the basis for like to flock together is just like this.

On this basis, with control similar to voting certificate + contract, loyalty is basically there.

The so-called vote of honor, at this time, naturally refers to "the person who knows the current affairs is a hero". You have become so hacked, you have long been out of tolerance by the mainstream society, and you have done bad things again, and your reputation is stinky. Don't join us. I'm afraid it's hard to survive.

The contract refers to "eating people with short mouths and soft hands". In the process of manufacturing Salain, it is normal to set up restrictions like "Three Corpse Brain Pills". In short, it is reasonable to be controlled by others and work hard for them .

Of course, there has never been true loyalty in Xie Xi's camp. If you have strength and grasp the opponent's fatal weakness, you will gain allegiance.

So Alsace was very relieved to use Sallein. He knew that as long as he had the strength and grasped the handle of Sallein, these guys who knew the time would be able to perform their duties, even work hard, and they would be on the same boat.

Kane even believed that the shells of the Saleins were also a very important part, not only a special protective shell for the cursed soul, but also a prison.

It is the coexistence of these two characteristics that ensures the stability of the Salein. Correspondingly, feeding on blood naturally has something to say.

It is precisely because of such a detailed estimation analysis that Kane gave this set of reincarnated corpse technology a high score, and believes that this set of technology is used well, which is very promising. Many blackened celebrities and heroes can Returned to the account.

After the talents are abundant, spread the officers to the grassroots of the Scourge, and control the undead who are absolutely obedient, then the combat effectiveness of the entire Scourge may be able to rise several steps, pushing Azeroth flat is not a dream.

However, in reality, it is quite the opposite. With the fall of heroic units and high-level commanders, the Scourge has an absolute numerical advantage, but has become a rabble for pros and cons.

In the end, it was Bovar who put on the Ice Crown and used the spiritual power increase and special suppression features provided by the magic weapon to prevent hundreds of thousands of natural disasters from flooding and wreaking havoc everywhere.

In the same way, the Burning Legion also lacks qualified middle and low-level officers. Many of the high-level officers replaced by hero units are actually reckless with a bit of extraordinary brute force, like Gul'dan's wild way, but at least some brains. There are only a handful of them, and with the defeat of such characters, the demons of the Burning Legion have also become the targets of the heroes, but they are only at the cosmic level, which is more compelling.

So there is such a great technology, but it is not used, which is very inconsistent, unless it does not really exist.

This level leads to a very interesting possibility. The true source of Sallein is someone else, and at least in some technical fields, he is no worse than the Big Three of the Burning Legion.
