Chapter 1689 Out of Body (Ⅱ)

Qiao An listened fascinated, and thought for a long time before asking questions.

"Teacher, I still have two questions. First, if the shadow clone created by using the soul separation technique is killed by someone, will it endanger the life of the main body?"

"The phantom clone is just a tiny trace of the soul, even if it is eliminated, it will not endanger the life of the main body. Of course, it will still suffer some backlash damage, for example, it will cause a strong headache, and it cannot be used again within the day. technique to create a new shadow clone."

After hearing Professor Moriarty's answer, Joan was secretly relieved. Fortunately, the death of the shadow clone will not cause the death of the main body, otherwise this spell would be too dangerous, and it would be easy to kill yourself.

In a flash, he thought again that the "soul separation technique" was very similar to the "mosquito finger technique" in a sense, except that the former separated a trace of soul, while the latter separated a part of the body.

"Teacher, my second question is, when the ghost clone is separated from the main body, can it take the equipment and belongings of the main body by the way?"

Professor Moriarty was slightly taken aback, and answered frankly: "I haven't really thought about this question, but incorporeal creatures, including shadows, cannot normally wear physical equipment, nor can they pick up physical equipment. Objects created by magic, ghost clones created by magic, should not be able to violate this basic principle."

"This is a very serious defect." Joan solemnly reminded the instructor, "If the ghost clone cannot wear equipment, then compared with the main body, the combat effectiveness and survivability of the clone will be greatly reduced. What's more troublesome is that it cannot be used and Picking up items means that the ghost avatar cannot use a wand, cannot use a scroll to cast spells, and cannot bring back the loot after killing an enemy, so the value of this spell will be greatly reduced! Teacher, is there any way to improve the soul leaving technique? Make up for this deficiency?"

Professor Moriarty stroked his chin and thought for a long time, and finally nodded under Joan's expectant gaze.

"There is a third-level necromantic spell called 'Ghost Armor', which can be used on weapons to directly kill incorporeal souls, and on armor, which can prevent incorporeal souls from penetrating and function as a defense; at the same time, Incorporeal undead can also wear and use the equipment blessed with 'Ghost Armor' normally, as if they were still alive."

"According to what you said, the matter is simple. We only need to learn part of the spell configuration of the 'Nether Arms' and integrate it into the spell configuration of the 'Spiritual Ability', so that the ghost clone can use the equipment of the main body. Pick up loot as normal."

"This idea is feasible, but I'm worried that the magic power level of the 4th-level spell slot is too low to be compatible with the functions of 'Leaving Soul' and 'Ghost Armor'." Professor Moriarty frowned slightly.

Qiao An has also independently developed necromancy spells, including Level 2 "Aphasia", Level 3 "Insensitivity", and Level 4 "Mage Poison High Five". He knows how to solve the problem of insufficient magic power.

"If you don't want to upgrade the 'Leaving Soul Technique' to level 5, you might as well try adding some black agate as the material for casting the spell. If that doesn't work, you can only try other materials that are more compatible with negative energy."

"I'm also considering adding black agate. This method should work." Professor Moriarty reproduced a smile on his face, "Joan, your thinking is very flexible and has inspired me a lot."

"I'm just offering a little suggestion based on the idea you came up with, it's not a big deal."

Joan scratched his head in embarrassment, and then asked his instructor what the last original 4-level spell-"multi-armed spell" was useful for.

"The inspiration for 'Multiple Arms' came from an accident."

Professor Moriarty lit his pipe and took a long puff unhurriedly.

"Joan, do you still remember the 'Species Museum' in Fort Donning? There are many rare species collected and displayed, including 'Three-armed Giant', 'Four-armed Orangutan', 'Dark Tentacle Monster', and more Rare specimens of 'Beholder' and 'Serakin'...have you found them? The common feature of these creatures is that they have more abundant and diverse limbs than humans, and they are more flexible."

Joan nodded repeatedly.

The "Three-Armed Giant" is actually a mutant subspecies of giant, which looks like a hill giant with an extra arm growing out of its chest.

"Four-armed orangutan" is a relatively common magical beast in the southern jungles of the New World. When Joan went from his hometown of Delin Town to study in Leiden Port, he encountered a "four-armed orangutan" when he crossed the Yalf forest on the way. Except for its large size and an extra pair of arms, this monster has no obvious difference in intelligence and habits compared with ordinary apes.

"Dark tentacle monster", Joan saw it when he helped the boggards deal with the green hag in the Baden wetlands.

The beholder has never seen the real one, but he often turns into a subspecies of the beholder, the "seeing eye". The "limbs" mentioned by the instructor refer to the eye stems extending from the beholder's body, which are as flexible as arms.

As for the "six-armed snake demon", it is a high-level demon with only females. Its upper body is like a glamorous girl, and its lower body is like a python. It has six arms and holds a sharp sword in each hand. It is said that among the Tanari demon group in the bottomless abyss, the six-armed snake demon is second only to the "Baluoyan demon" in terms of fear.

"At that time, the Museum of Species held a special 'multi-armed creature exhibition'. Dinin and Betty invited me to participate in the exhibition. I still remember that the sideshow that day was to drive all kinds of multi-armed creatures to the same ring surrounded by iron fences. , Let them fight in the iron cage, and the last surviving creature can be free, Joan, guess who survived in the end?"

Professor Moriarty smiled mysteriously.

"It's either the 'six-armed snake demon' or the 'beholder'!" Joan said firmly.

"That's right, the last survivor was the six-armed snake wielding six swords, but she also paid a heavy price for killing the beholder, and she died before leaving the octagonal cage." Professor Moriarty said lightly. The words replaced the tragic gladiatorial fight, and then said, "I had an idea when I was watching the monsters fighting. It would be great if we humans can grow multiple arms, which can bring a lot to life and work. It is convenient, and you can hold multiple weapons at the same time when fighting."

"This is indeed a very interesting idea. What stage has your research and development progressed?" Joan asked.

"The spell configuration of 'Multiple Arms' is more mature than that of 'Corpse Explosion' and 'Soul Exodus', and it only needs to be optimized in some details. This spell is similar to 'Transfiguration', and it needs to be matched with multi-armed creatures. Organs and tissues are used as spell-casting materials, such as a small amount of hair from a four-armed orangutan." Professor Moriarty replied.
