Chapter 1750 Mage and Beetle

Compared with the construction craft, the mythical enchanting craft does not have strict requirements on the type of soul. The mythical element spirit is of course very good. If there is no such thing, the souls of other mythical creatures can still be used.

Joan was very excited to rediscover this long-lost craft, and two thoughts came to mind at the same time.

The first is to write a thesis that comprehensively introduces the craft of mythological enchantment, and to make at least one mythological magic tool by oneself to provide solid data support for the thesis. Since the content of the thesis involves the power of mythology, and Qiao An does not want to disclose that he has the power of mythology yet, so whether to publish it publicly still needs to be carefully considered.

The second is to use this kind of craftsmanship to make those more important magic tools on your body, such as "storage bag", "portable dimension hole", "high-end gorgeous belt", "diamond belt buckle" and "prosthetic eye", etc. , one by one, enchant the mythical ability "Spirit Transformation", so that these magic tools can be switched to "spiritual weapons" when necessary, and they will take effect normally in the "anti-magic field". It will not be scrapped on the spot.

To complete this big project, Joan had to collect more souls of mythical creatures. Considering the scarcity of mythical creatures, this step was precisely the most difficult part of the mythical enchantment process.

Joan used to hunt and kill mythical creatures just to complete the trial. The moment the trial was completed, the soul of the mythical creature was also absorbed by the "Tears of God". Now there is no ready-made mythical soul available.

"It seems that we will be more active in collecting information on mythical creatures in the future. Even those low-level mythical creatures that cannot be used for 'myth trials' can at least be used to refine mythical magic tools."

Joan muttered to himself.

In a flash, he suddenly remembered that there are many mythical owl bears and mythical griffins raised in the manor in Yunzhong City. They are all second-level mythical creatures. Is it settled?

However, after careful consideration, Qiao An finally dismissed the idea.

Both the Mythical Owl Bear and Mythical Griffin are the guards of Cloud Manor. If you kill them and leave, what if someone climbs up the magic bean vine in the future?

For the sake of maintaining the safety of the manor, Joan felt that it was better not to kill those cute owl bears and griffins.

Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to make a mythical magic tool right now, at best, I’ll spend some time improving the 4th ring “Secondary Alien Oath Binding” to “Mythical Secondary Alien Oath Binding”, and just call the “Mythical Elements” to act as the spirit of the weapon. .

Putting away the pen and notebook, Joan woke up the Enlightenment Beetle and asked it what its plans were next.

"Master doesn't want to take me on a trip together?" the beetle asked expectantly, "When the journey is boring, I can sing to cheer you up."

"Oh, it's the singing that makes the giant cloud giant unable to concentrate on writing, and casts a spell to petrify you in a rage?" Joan asked casually.

The Enlightenment Beetle fell silent.

It seems to find that the owner is a "chat ghost", which caused a great mental shock to it.

"Where did you live before you were petrified?" Joan asked.

"The fruit forest outside the window."

The spiritual fluctuations of the Enlightenment Beetle reveal the nostalgia for the good life in the past.

Joan nodded and said to it: "I'm sorry, I have a weird temper and don't keep pets. You'd better go back to live in the fruit forest."

"I'm completely at the master's disposal. It would be even better if you can take a walk in the fruit forest once in a while." The Enlightenment Beetle said quietly.

Qiao An felt a little sore in his heart.

Ever since he acquired the powerful supernatural ability of "Insect Enlightenment", he imagined more than once that if he catches a few insects every day to enlighten him, and persists for ten or eight years, he will have a huge army of insect races, all of whom have Comparable to the wisdom of human beings, and he is loyal to himself and obeys his orders. Couldn't he be able to lead the enlightened swarm to be invincible?

The brief contact and communication with the Enlightenment Beetle prompted Joan's mentality to change.

He is indeed capable of amassing a huge swarm of servants, but to train the swarm into an army, one must not just "enlighten" them, but must continue to invest energy in management and training, and communicate with them emotionally. And these things are exactly what he doesn't like and is not good at.

Without strict training and proper management, even 10,000 elite soldiers would not be able to unite around the commander and form a high-quality force, let alone a group of insects whose intelligence reached human level but lacked cultural traditions and social consensus.

In fact, from the perspective of controlling insect swarms, enlightenment insects with high IQ are not a good choice. The more intelligent insects have more ideas and stronger personalities, it is difficult to manage them. Instead, they are low-intelligence like bee colonies or ant colonies. Insects that lack personality are easier to manipulate.

Anyway, they are only used as cannon fodder and puppets, and obedience is enough. They don't need to be too smart, let alone have any "free will" or "independent opinions".

Sighing lightly, Joan said to the Enlightenment Beetle: "I'll open the window and let you go back to live in the fruit forest... Some words may make you unhappy, but I still have to tell the truth."

"Although you are still the body of a beetle, your mind is far from comparable to that of the same kind. When you go back to the previous living environment and meet those beetles that look the same as you but cannot communicate with you, you may have doubts—are you really one of them? Can one of them go back to their previous life?"

"You need to face this objective difference and choose to actively integrate into the swarm, or live alone and become a lonely beast... No matter what you decide in the end, I hope you can enjoy life and don't ask about the meaning of life. will make you unhappy."

"It's not your fault that you're in this situation, it's my fault that I turned you from a rock back into a beetle and gave you intelligence beyond what a beetle should have without asking your permission."

"When you look up and see the wider starry sky, you gain wisdom, but at the same time you will breed endless troubles, and your kind of beetles, who are not as smart as you, are more likely to be happy. I dare not say which kind of life It's more worth living."

"If one day, you are disappointed with your situation, regret turning into an enlightened beetle, and would rather give up all your wisdom, just want to be as simple and happy as other individuals in the swarm, you can go back to the castle, Just wait for me on this desk."

Joan finally made a promise to the Enlightenment Beetle.

"If I can come back here and meet you again, I will know what choice you have to make, and I will cast a spell to change you back to your original form."
