"Hey, I'm a necromancer, and as I said before, necromancers are the foundation of everything. So only those who have experienced 'death' can understand necromancers and become 'necromancers'."
"So, all the deaths I experienced in that dream were for the purpose of awakening the necromancer?"
"You can understand it that way, but in reality, not everyone can awaken and become a 'necromancer' after experiencing death. However, because you are the anchor point, you are 100% guaranteed to become a necromancer."
...
Ouyang Qianjin remained silent.
So, in my past life, I was eaten to death by wolves just so I could experience the 'feeling of death' and become a necromancer?
The key is to listen to what the other party means. Since I am the anchor point, it seems... it's possible that I can change jobs without going through these processes?
Damn, is this some kind of rip-off?!
"Can I burn you one more time?"
The young lady of the Ouyang family, who was a little 'poor in blood and qi circulation', looked at Hillman with an unprecedentedly serious expression.
"If possible, I think it's unnecessary."
"Bone-scorching phosphorescent fire!"
"Aww—"
Asking is 'polite', but that doesn't mean that Ouyang Qianjin won't take action after the other party says 'NO'.
Thus, Hillman, who had once again broken Ouyang Qianjin's defenses, was 'successfully' burned by Ouyang Qianjin again.
It's still the same [Bone-Scorching Phosphorescent Fire], still the same 'familiar recipe', still half a minute.
Half a minute later, Hillman cautiously sat back down on his stool.
"Then what is the reason for choosing me?"
"Because you are the anchor point, the first and initial person chosen. Without you, how could this hypnosis be radiated outwards?"
Oh, you're right.
If you are the anchor point, then naturally you will be the first to try anything.
What should I do if I suddenly feel like burning it again?
Ouyang Qianjin sighed.
"Now let's talk about souls. Can I get my soul back like you did, or is there a way to make my soul whole again?"
After holding back, Ouyang Qianjin did not make a move.
It was simply a matter of re-examining the nature of one's soul.
After all, it concerns whether or not one can walk.
Nobody wants to spend their whole life sitting in a wheelchair.
Therefore, Miss Ouyang is quite concerned about this.
"It's probably impossible, because your soul has already been used as a sacrifice. It wasn't completely sacrificed on the spot, but was slowly eroded. This is the best result I can achieve."
Although he knew his answer might offend Miss Ouyang.
But no matter what, I was in the wrong first.
Without warning, they directly sacrificed the other party's soul.
So Hillman's answer in this regard was quite honest.
"Does that mean there's no chance of getting my soul back?"
Ouyang Qianjin was already bothered by the fact that her own soul was used as an anchor point, but now the other party is telling her that her soul has actually been sacrificed.
How could this not make her clench her fists?
"To be honest, even someone like me who has studied the soul for so many years cannot say that I understand it 100%."
"After all, the soul is such an abstract thing."
"Even if one condenses their soul into a soul gem, it's merely their understanding of the gem, not the soul itself."
"What exactly is the human soul? Even with the necromancer's Soul Eye, we can only observe within the scope of our own understanding."
"For example, ghosts. Why can a person become a ghost after death, or why would a ghost still wear the clothes they wore before death when they used a skill to become a ghost?"
"Could it be that the clothes 'died' along with it?"
"Don't even mention you, I don't know either, and I haven't even been able to find a suitable starting point for research."
No one can say for sure what the human soul is like.
Even in other worlds where people possess extraordinary powers and the study of the soul has never ceased, we cannot say that we fully understand it.
Therefore, Hillman could not give Ouyang Qianjin a definite answer.
However, Ouyang Qianjin had her own explanation.
Let's look back on the past year or so, almost two years.
The first and most suspicious period is the first three months after the arrival of the Buddha.
The so-called three-month experience is probably just using the external force of 'profession' to strengthen the souls of people here who have never mastered mysticism.
The reason is that those who didn't change jobs became zombies.
After all, according to Hillman's previous statement, if a person only has power but no knowledge, then he will become a monster.
At that time, the body was able to be strengthened to the point that it could resist those bacteria.
So it makes sense that it can strengthen the soul.
The main reason is that you will gain access to magic after changing jobs.
Whether it's mentioned in passing or something that can be noticed.
In Ouyang Qianjin's view, all of these involve 'knowledge' that strengthens one's soul.
Those who did not change jobs, that is, those who did not gain 'knowledge', eventually turned into zombies with immense strength after three days, and could only be killed by destroying their brains.
In this respect, it is similar to the situation where the soul's 'knowledge' cannot keep up after the body is modified by magic.
However, those who switch careers to become professionals don't actually have it easy either.
The five-level skills seem to have gaps in between.
However, given the level of progression in the early stages, as long as you put in the effort, you can quickly reach level 19 and get stuck there.
That is, three skills plus one initial general skill.
The 'knowledge' of the four magical skills is more than enough for a person's soul to slowly digest.
That's right.
The so-called "Eye of Discrimination" general skill, and the skill that can be selected at level one, are nothing more than a "safety net skill".
Skills that allow you to acquire 'knowledge' without corrupting your soul.
The subsequent 'three-month' level cap was designed to allow those who leveled up quickly to solidify their souls.
According to Hillman...
Leveling up can be fast or slow, but those who have obtained the 'rebirth' qualification will undoubtedly be able to rush out at the fastest speed.
However, this would result in a break in the band.
A phenomenon where the soul cannot keep up.
Therefore, it is necessary to solidify the soul steadily and surely.
Especially for professions like Ouyang Qianjin's, which involve the soul and death, time is needed to solidify one's soul.
The evidence supporting this conjecture is the dragon people created by the vampire girls and Ouyang Qianjin using the alchemical technology of artificial humans.
