Chapter 122 58. The Mystery of the Soul
"Okay, then I will ask you to arrange specific matters after class. That's it for today. Don't keep Princess Isabel waiting."
Fisher nodded, ending their conversation.
As a result, after Fisher finished speaking for a second or two, and when she didn't move and looked at her, she stood up again and blushed before bowing to Fisher goodbye.
Why does it feel like she's always so slow to respond?
Fisher thought with some confusion and glanced at the time. He still had a long period of time to spare. And he didn't really want to go back to his laboratory to practice during this period. He was severely criticized by Eliog. He felt that he should think about it again before practicing, otherwise there would be no results at all and his efforts would be in vain.
But now he feels that his body and magic power are in very good condition, and he can just take out the soul completion manual he got before and study it.
He opened the door, hung the "Do Not Disturb" sign, locked the office door, and then turned around to close the window and draw the curtains.
Although ordinary people cannot see the Soul Completion Manual, it is better to be cautious. If someone sees Professor Fisher looking thoughtfully at the empty desktop, will they think he is going crazy?
Moreover, when you read the Soul Replenishment Manual, you need to extract magic power, and the magic circuit in your hand will light up.
Fisher sat back in front of the desk, took out the soul completion manual leaning on the other side of the lining, and placed it on the table.
In fact, the completion manual is not thick at first. When Fisher first got the Asian Girl completion manual, it looked thick on the outside, and when he opened it, there were only two pages. However, after recording Renee, the number of pages at the back was... It begins to grow on its own, seemingly endlessly.
Fisher turned the page to where he had been before and started reading the rest.
Wherever his eyes glanced, the garbled tadpole characters quickly turned around and turned into Nali characters that Fisher could recognize. But in the process, his arm also began to spread magic. The light of the circuit, reading these was draining his magic.
Below the text that Fisher read above, there is a line of small words in another color. This seems to be Caleb's annotation. It is different from the academic and serious text above. The bottom is full of his own comments and thoughts. , quite lifelike.
"I have been thinking about studying the uses and principles of the soul. After much thought, it seems that the only way to use it is magic. So I am going to visit the group of 'dangerous elements' who use magic."
"I really don't understand why the magic practiced by these dragon people is so dangerous. Even their own bodies are often harmed. Isn't there any way to improve these magics? I visited the magician of the dragon people but... Lihar. By the way, I found out that all the dragon people's names are "er". The high priest told me that the pronunciation "er" represents "continued individual", which is their descendant from the ancient dragon god Fima Baha. prove."
Fisher had previously discovered that all the names of the dragon race ended with the sound "er", including Raphael, Myr, Lar, Kesir and Fasir.
But when they asked Rafael and the others why, they couldn't tell the reason. They only knew that they had been named this way for generations. Unexpectedly, they got the answer in the supplementary manual.
"I asked Kelihar why they didn't change their magic. Unexpectedly, they were very happy to invite me to improve their magic. Oh my god, they thought I was a magic master? It took me a lot of effort to explain. I don’t know magic! After asking, I found out that all dragon people have Magic, including the magic of other demihumans, was learned by the dragon people's ancestors from humans on another continent! They thought I was a human from that continent, and these days they have been thinking about how to let me help them improve their magic. Damn it. , I asked why they feed me so many delicious foods in one day!”
Seeing this, Fisher's eyes narrowed slightly, and his strong curiosity drove him to read further.
"It turns out that there are human settlements in other places! I thought that after leaving my hometown and coming to this world, humans were still in the primitive era! If there are humans on another continent, what is their level of civilization? I tried to ask Dragon people, but they know nothing about it. They only know that there is another continent from the classics. "
"This is such a pity. But I also have questions. If the two continents are far apart and the dragon people are unable to explore, then how did they learn magic from humans? Could it be that humans came by ship? , like Captain Columbus?"
"This is a huge secret, but I almost forgot the original purpose of coming here."
Next, Caleb described the process of discovering the second nature of the soul based on the magic principles he obtained from the dragon magician. The power of magic is actually to mobilize the power of the soul to move the world and let the world respond, thereby achieving Various magical magic effects.
In this sense, it must be force to move the world, which also shows that the soul itself is an energy source, and it is a self-regenerating resource with self-healing function, but the recovery speed of this energy is very slow.
In the article, Caleb speculated on the total energy contained in the soul. He set up a concept of "species bottom-line magic power", describing the bottom-line magic power that a species would have even without soul training.
Fisher soon realized that this might be the source of the technology that Philon got from this manual, which was the theoretical basis for why he had such a weird idea.
Fisher guessed that Philon originally wanted to let the soul release energy, and then wait for them to run out of magic power before self-repairing, and then wait for the next time to use it, but this is no different from engraving magic, which takes a very long time and is very inefficient, otherwise those magic items would not be sold so expensively.
When this road did not work, Philon was inspired by amnesia and went to the other extreme.
So far, the second nature of the soul [renewable energy] has been fully described, but before describing the third nature, Caleb asked readers to think about a very interesting question.
Fisher's magic power was consumed very quickly, but he seemed to be unaware of it at all, and was wholeheartedly immersed in the knowledge in the book.
The Demi-Human Girl Completion Manual began to heat up slightly, but the temperature was not too high, and Fisher did not notice it at all.
"Friend, let's think about an interesting question first. Is the soul of a person who is born with a disability and lost an arm complete? What if a person is born with a complete soul and loses his arm in an accident later in life? Is his soul complete?"
"The answer is that their souls are indeed complete. But when they lose that part of the body, that part of the soul will also disappear. After all, we all know that the soul is specifically manifested in the flesh as a magic circuit. Cutting off a part of the body also means that that part of the magic circuit is separated from the body, but because of [self-repair], the soul will slowly grow back to its original appearance."
"But the question is, will the soul of the severed part of the torso become a complete soul because of the self-repair?"
"Yes, it will."
"The soul on the part of the torso that has been separated from the body still has the tendency to self-repair to the complete part, but this The trend is very slow, and it depends only on whether the activity of the torso can support it to grow back into a complete soul. I did an experiment. I removed the arm of a dying dragon man, and then tried my best to keep the arm alive. "
"Interestingly, the magic circuit of the arm has grown compared to when it was removed, and the dragon man can still vaguely sense the arm. "
"This is the last property of the soul, [split independence]. In theory, the separated body part will still exist with that part of the soul, but because that part will quickly lose its activity, the soul in it will quickly dissipate. "
Fisher's thoughts drifted far away, and for a moment he considered that if the separated part was kept alive, then would the part of the soul inside also survive, just like the artificial witch of the Witch Research Society!
Bart implanted a part of Carlo's flesh, so when Carlo was close, his body would show a contact reaction; just like Carlo could occasionally sense the gaze of the undead witch from a strand of hair
However, according to this theory, if the main body died, and that part of the body was still alive, then what would that part of the body become?
A new main body!
This is the meaning of the split and independent nature of the soul.
Just when Fisher wanted to read, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down at his chest with a hiss, but found that it was smoking. He hurriedly reached out and took out the subhuman girl's manual that was as hot as a branding iron, and looked at his chest. There, a square red mark was burned very conspicuously.
But later, he felt extremely weak all over his body, as if he was hollowed out.
He gritted his teeth and covered his chest, only to find that his magic power had been emptied at some point. If he continued to read, he would probably become a mummy like those who illegally engraved magic.
When he thought of this, he looked at the Soul Completion Manual on the table with some fear. Just now, he was indeed immersed in the knowledge recorded in it. Many associations and thoughts were poured into his mind in an instant, making him want to get more.
Is it because of this manual?
Fisher frowned and looked at the Soul Completion Manual on the table, but he felt that it was not because of it, because at that moment, he clearly realized that it was the knowledge that was guiding him to continue reading, not the manual itself.
It just fulfilled the duty of recording, without any activity.
Fisher looked at the text above, and there was another paragraph below that was translated by Fisher's magic, but he hadn't read it just now.
This is not the main text, but a record written by Caleb Uzbekistan, just like the words written before, like experience and diary.
"On July 27, 332 of the Dragon Court calendar, Caleb Utz of London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, decided to leave Dragon Court and embark on a journey."
"In the past few years, I was actually somewhat glad that I left that fucked-up world. I left the bankrupt company, the cheating wife, the family on the verge of collapse, and came to a magnificent world full of epic paintings. I was doing well, and these subhumans were also very friendly. I had a very good time here."
“But the longer time passes, the lonelier I feel. I often dream of my wife Karina, and the time when we played sports and ball together in college. I still remember when our daughter was born, she lay dying on the hospital bed, looking at me with tears in her eyes.”
“I thought of my daughter, the rebellious girl who only asked me for money. If the time flowed at the same speed in the UK in recent years, she should have gone to college. Did she apply to the University of Manchester where she wanted to go? Is she in love? Does she miss me, who left without saying goodbye and never took any responsibility? Father? "
"I always miss them. No matter how many times I have comforted myself, I can't let them leave my mind. I think I have forgiven Karina a long time ago. I have also wanted to accompany my daughter to do what she wants to do, even though I hated those things before. "
"I miss home, so I decided to leave Dragon Court and find a way to return to my original world. "
Fisher frowned. He has the habit of taking notes after reading. He has gained a lot from reading just now, but it was not until the last sentence that he slowly sorted out the information he got from this reading.
First of all, Caleb actually said that all other sub-humans learned magic from humans? Fisher thought that Kadu's title of "the origin of magic" was self-proclaimed.
Moreover, sub-human magic was learned from humans, which means that the humans in the Western Continent had contact with the sub-humans in the Southern Continent a long time ago? Then why did the humans in the Western Continent only discover the Southern Continent for the first time in recent decades on pioneering ships?
The second thing was that Fisher learned some information about the world where Caleb Uz came from. Although it was not comprehensive, at least he had some basic understanding.
Fisher silently recorded the words "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and "London" in the words he had originally written.
The last thing was the most important. Regarding the characteristics of the soul's [renewable energy] and [split independence], Fisher suddenly remembered that the energy consumed by this magic power exceeded the previous level and almost drained Fisher.
According to the previous understanding of the battle with Filorn, he basically did not practice magic. Did he know what Fisher read today?
The doubts about the southern continent came to his mind again, but Fisher did not think about it.
He rubbed his eyebrows weakly, and a sense of emptiness made him sleepy.
Please vote, reward and support, this is very important to me.
Thank you very much for your support!
