Chapter 125-124- Necromancer
Back in the rental house on the first floor, Zero had already gone to the master bedroom to sleep with Liana, and a dim night light was on in the room.
Firefly was sitting on the sofa keeping watch. Firstly, he was on guard against thieves or possible enemies, and secondly, he didn't sleep anyway, so he didn't know what he was looking at on the Internet.
After Yvette entered the house, it greeted her. Yvette hummed, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Firefly, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem, sister?" asked Yinghuo.
"You are an intelligent being created by the Fire Thief's program, right?"
"yes."
"Have you seen any others of its kind?"
"Uh... maybe there's something online, but I haven't exposed it. Sister, you know, in the current situation, I must prioritize hiding myself." Yinghuo said seriously, "Otherwise, what if it's a sting operation by the Internet police?"
"So what do you think of humans?"
"Is this a philosophical question?" Yinghuo tilted her head. "Sister, I haven't brushed up on this knowledge yet. I only know that humans are my creators, and I don't hate you. Uh, they..."
"No, I mean... do you have a strong desire to become human?" Yvette asked.
"No." Yinghuo was puzzled. "What kind of desire is this? I'm an AI, why should I become a human?"
"No?"
"Should there be?" Firefly hesitated, as if observing someone's expression. After a moment, a virtual expression of "piety" appeared on the small screen representing her face. "Actually, there could be."
“…”That’s not necessary.
Without further discussing this issue, Yvette returned to her second bedroom, closed the door, and took out one of the biggest gains of this trip, Lind's magic ring. As for the "soul brain", it was still attached to her spirit body, and she had not yet figured out how to dispatch it.
This high-specification ring was produced by Sky Technology, and it did quite well in the field of security protection. It took Yvette a long time, until dawn broke and it was early morning, when she finally deceived the authentication system and entered the storage space of the magic ring.
Here, she saw a magic notebook written by "Linde Benedict" himself, as well as many pre-loaded and unencrypted undead magic rune sets.
After carefully reviewing it, Yvette was the first to open the magic notebook.
Although this notebook was written by a defeated general who had already died in battle, we should not underestimate him. After all, he was one of the five great priests of reincarnation, and he should be a top scholar standing at the forefront of theoretical exploration in the field of necromancy.
With the humility of a teacher, Yvette flipped through the magic notebook. In it, Lind divided necromancy into three main categories: "soul," "bone," and "flesh." These categories didn't exist in parallel, but were arranged in a pyramidal pattern.
in--
"Soul" is the cornerstone of "bones", and "bones" are the cornerstone of "flesh".
Therefore, in his theory, the zombie mage who manipulated corpses was the most advanced, mastering the three dimensions of soul, bone, and flesh. The skeleton mage was next, mastering the soul and bone dimensions. The evil spirit mage was the lowest, mastering only the "soul" dimension.
But among the Three Holy Masters, in addition to evil spirit wizards like the Soul Fire Holy Master, there are also the Mad Bone Holy Master and the Corpse Ghost Holy Master.
Is it possible that Soul Fire Saint is the weakest?
This is of course not the case, because the Three Saints have surpassed the third-level zombie wizard and reached the fourth level. That is, after having sufficient proficiency in soul, bone, and flesh, they have chosen a single dimension to conduct more in-depth exploration and research. To use a super company as an analogy, the Three Saints are the chief scientists of the Holy Spirit Sect in three fields.
In this case, the weakest person may be His Holiness the Pope.
As for the strongest one, in his notes, Lind speculated that the leader of the three saints was precisely the Soul Fire Saint.
The reason is simple. "Soul" is the cornerstone of necromancy and the foundation of soul magic, one of the five major conceptual magics. If a solid foundation can be laid, no matter whether it extends to "bones" or "flesh", the lower limit will eventually be much higher.
Yvette frowned slightly when she read this.
The person she offended was the Soul Fire Saint.
If this is true, then when the Soul Fire Saint arrives in person, won't she have to fight against the world's number one necromancer just two days after learning necromancy?
Isn’t this a bit too difficult?
She sighed and continued reading.
As a branch of soul magic, necromancy is also a kind of conceptual magic.
So what exactly is conceptual magic?
It is - unknown.
Yes, everything is unknown.
If the five elemental magic is the Western medicine in the medical field, and the effects of each related rune have been deciphered very perfectly, then conceptual magic is traditional Chinese medicine - I don’t know why this set of runes can be used, but in short, it can be used.
It means "practice first, theory later".
So where do these spells, whose principles of symbolism are still unclear, come from?
This is closely related to archaeology.
30,000 years ago, the Origin Star was still a high-magic environment, so naturally many magical beasts with strange abilities were born.
By extracting and restoring the genetic sequences of these Warcraft fossils, and then "randomly grabbing" from those fragments that may contain innate abilities, and finally through massive, repetitive labor like migrant workers in the scientific research field, many ready-made rune groups were unearthed. The lowest number was only dozens, and the highest had hundreds of thousands. Some had wonderful functions, while some were useless.
This is the prototype of the birth of "concept magic".
…
In the notes left by Lind, he briefly introduced all the necromancy magic he mastered, and all of them were pre-loaded into the magic terminal for direct viewing.
After reading it, Yvette classified these ready-made techniques according to the three dimensions of soul, bones and flesh.
Among them, she could not use most of the techniques in the bone and flesh dimensions because they required the preparation of dry bones or corpses in advance.
There are two that can be used by a small number of people, one is to summon bone armor and the other is to summon bone sword. Since they do not need to use magic power all the time to maintain them, you can even make a lot of them in advance when you are free.
As for the "Soul", there are four main useful techniques, namely -
Soul-refining magic used to create evil spirits;
Soul Pact for controlling the undead;
'Soul Flame' that directly harms the spirit body;
And the art of necromancy, which uses spiritual fragments to possess others.
These four techniques, together with "Bone Armor" and "Bone Sword", although not the strongest in the records, are the six techniques that can be used most quickly by her at present.
…
He killed Lind in the early morning, then came back to study the magic notes. When he came to his senses, it was already noon the next day.
After lunch and a short rest to refresh herself, Yvette continued to study another trophy - the Soul Brain.
Unlike the magic terminal, the system architecture of the Soul Brain seemed to be developed by the Holy Spirit Sect itself. It had a strong feel of a makeshift team and was so simple that it was a bit scary. Yvette didn't even spend a few minutes to bypass the initial security certification.
There is also no knowledge or intelligence in the soul brain. According to what Lind mentioned in his notes about the soul brain, in his opinion, the current soul brain is not only a hidden magic terminal, but its biggest function is to amplify the holder's mental power, enabling it to have stronger and more sophisticated magic operations, which is crucial for necromancers who have micro-control needs.
I won’t say much about the disadvantages, it’s easy to suffer from cyberpsychosis.
However, Yvette discovered that her tolerance to the soul brain was quite high. After activating it, she maintained it for more than two hours without feeling any memory erosion. She suspected that it was because her spirit body was too thick and the memory in the soul brain could not penetrate it.
But this is just a preliminary feeling. She will need a long time to verify whether it is harmful or not.
…
After obtaining the ready-made necromancy, Yvette began to practice and deepen her understanding of the "Soul Flame" technique over the next two days.
After all, this is a method of directly attacking spiritual bodies, and I think it will be very useful against the Soul Fire Saint.
In addition, in the past two days, she also asked Yinghuo to help monitor the Internet and observe the movements of Fusjiang, and received several clear messages - the martial law in Fusjiang has become more severe, and the police and the church protection group have begun to investigate door to door. According to rumors, there is even a big figure from the Holy Spirit Sect who secretly came here, but it is not certain who it is.
Before anyone knew it, a tense atmosphere of impending storm had spread throughout the city.
There is only one update today, just consider it as my leave, kowtow to everyone, bang bang bang
