Chapter 205 A game of chess that has been planned for a thousand years
PS. First draft, wait a moment
This problem has actually been bothering Su Lun.
Why did the Isaacs choose to burn their most precious little daughter to death?
Ceria was not surprised at all when she heard that Su Lun would ask this question.
"It's been a thousand years, she must be very sad."
She sighed slightly and said, "Because only resentment can keep her soul from dissipating."
When Su Lun heard this, he suddenly woke up.
One of the prerequisites for forming a ghost or a wraith is to have some kind of strong obsession.
As soon as he heard the beginning, he guessed why the Isaacs did this a thousand years ago.
They want to save Pestoya's soul.
But why?
Seria's emotions became very complicated, including tenderness, love, guilt, sighs, and expectations, all of which were reflected in her twinkling eyes.
She told the secret that had been buried in the dust of history, "Although the god-level fallen angel was defeated, Isaac also paid a very heavy price. A large number of abyssal creatures invaded, and our Dawn City also paid a very heavy price.
The loss was heavy. He also tried to completely destroy the space seal and allow the abyss plane to invade. At the beginning, we did not think of a way to kill him. In order to prevent him from wreaking havoc after recovery, we chose to separate the divine body.
Come, separate the limbs, body, head, heart, and wings and seal them all over Dawn City. In this way, his divine power will not be concentrated in one place, and the threat will be greatly reduced."
Su Lun listened and realized that this was how the [Fallen Angel Heart] he got came from.
Then what is sealed in the white monastery is also one of the body parts of the god.
At this time, Ceria continued: "From the appearance point of view, the reason why gods are gods is because they understand the laws of high levels. But for us alchemists, we need to see the essence of things clearly through expressions.
.The laws are illusory and cannot be touched, but the body of God is real. And we have guarded this space passage for many years, and we have also discovered that the creatures in the abyss have very powerful physiques, and we have also studied some laws, so "
When Su Lun heard this, he finally understood what Sir Isaac was doing when he captured a god-level creature.
They "sliced and studied" this god-level creature.
Alchemists are scientists in this world, including the biological field, mechanical field, as well as mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering and other fields.
A thousand years ago, the group of great alchemists headed by Isaac were the top scientists in these fields. Their research on biological sciences had reached a level that even a time traveler like Su Lun could not believe.
Probably because Su Lun is her disciple, Serea said in detail, "Although we have obtained some knowledge describing the divine body from ancient books, this is the first time we have actually come into contact with a living body. We have studied this
From the blood and other body tissues of fallen angels, it was discovered at the microscopic level that God's gene chain is much higher than that of humans. He has forty genes. And Isaac, the strongest alchemist in the world, only has thirty-five. Non-professional
Ordinary human beings have only twenty-three."
When Su Lun heard this, he no longer knew how to describe it.
It turns out that the ancient alchemists a thousand years ago had already studied the genetic level so thoroughly.
He didn't know whether it was because Old Lingdun was a mine, which led to the abnormal development of some imitations, or whether the level of the outside world had not reached the level a thousand years ago. But in the knowledge he came into contact with, there was indeed no information about "gene chain".
"This statement.
However, Seria did not continue talking about the research problem, but turned back to the previous topic, "But during this research process, some accidents happened. Although we sealed the body of the fallen angel, we did not expect that
His soul actually escaped during a research accident. Then, he possessed Pestoya's body."
Hearing this, it seems that a crucial piece of the puzzle has been completed.
All the clues in Su Lun's mind were automatically connected, and he immediately understood the truth behind Pestoya's burning to death.
Saying this, Ceria stopped, seeming to recall a memory that she didn't want to recall.
After pondering for a moment, he added: "The fallen angel is very cunning. He knows that no matter where his soul escapes, he will be killed. So he chose Pestoya. By the time we found out, he had already communicated with Pestoya.
Ya's soul is completely entangled. If we kill him, we will definitely kill Pestoya. But if we don't deal with it in time, he will bring devastating disaster to our plane."
She didn't continue what she said, but Su Lun also understood it.
Therefore, they chose to burn Pestoya to death.
After hearing this story, Su Lun also vaguely understood what the secret was that looked like "???" on the butterfly brooch.
Eighty percent of it is the soul of the fallen angel!
Su Lun knew that things might not be that simple.
If you want to destroy it, then you will definitely not leave a soul behind.
Seria said: "I lost some memories and don't know what happened next. But you appeared, which means that Isaac's plan was successful."
Su Lun listened quietly. For a strong man like Isaac who has mastered [destiny], his methods will never be that simple.
He asked: "Teacher, do you keep Pestoya's soul to resurrect her?"
Ceria: "Yes. No parent in the world would be willing to watch their child being burned alive, but because of her enough resentment, she didn't tell her the truth. We arranged some more methods in Storm Manor.
Preserve her soul. But compared to a god, the human soul is too weak. The fallen angel has the ability to easily obliterate Pestoya's soul. Therefore, this plan will last at least a thousand years. When Pestoya's soul is enough
You can only take action when the two are completely inseparable."
Here again, her face revealed the cruelty of a mother who would harm her own child's enemy. "Humph, the so-called god only knows these despicable tricks in order to survive."
When Su Lun heard this, he completely understood what happened.
Things are far from being as simple as they seem.
But it's a big game of chess.
A game of chess that has been planned for thousands of years!
At the same time, an idea also came to his mind.
No wonder, on the title page of [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript], there is a sentence that sounds slightly emotional: God is just a higher-level material.
It turns out there is this layer of hatred inside.
And contempt!
A master of destiny, showing contempt for the powerful gods!
After hearing this explanation, Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, I can give Pestoya an answer next time I meet her.
Otherwise, I would still feel guilty if I always deceive other girls and fail to do so.
Su Lun asked again: "Teacher, everything Mr. Jing is doing now is for the soul of that god?"
Thinking about it this way, the purpose of Mr. Jing, who has lived for a thousand years, becomes clear.
Seria said: "Yes, but it's more than that. She survived firstly for the god in Pestoya's soul, and secondly for the inheritance of Dawn City. After all, the disaster has already happened since you showed up.
Auroville must also be destroyed."
Su Lun has also been curious about what problem led to the destruction of Auroville and Old Town.
He asked directly: "Teacher, what exactly was that disaster?"
"My memory is incomplete."
Seria shook her head and said that she didn't know, "I don't have Isaac's destiny talent, so I can't deduce what will happen in the future. But there is a high probability that there is something wrong with the abyss seal. According to what you are saying now, the plane is still
If it didn't fall, then Isaac must have prevented the disaster from getting worse. After all, the purpose of building the 'Black Tower' is as a last resort when things get out of control."
The Black Tower actually has this effect?
Su Lun was thoughtful as he listened.
Suddenly, he thought of the strong man who could hunt gods, and asked: "What about Master?"
"Him?"
Talking about her husband, Ceria showed a gentle smile again on her face and said: "Isaac once said that the laws of this plane are flawed. If you want to break through to the divine level, you have to go to a place with more perfect laws.
Plane. I think he probably went to the 'abyss'."
After a pause, his eyes were full of love, and he added: "He only has a dream. He wants to be like the great alchemists of the Dawn Era, traveling to various planes and exploring the ultimate secrets of alchemy."
Su Lun understood the truth of what happened back then, and all the doubts in his heart were almost solved.
The atmosphere of communication has also become very relaxed.
At this time, Su Lun looked at the classics on the bookshelf in the room and asked: "Teacher, can I take these classics away?"
He had been coveting these things here before, and this alchemy knowledge was truly priceless.
But he didn't dare to act rashly.
The plot in Cursed Space seems to be an infinite loop.
But the reality is that when something is taken away, part of the energy will be lost.
A few books may not have much impact, or they may change the entire plot of Cursed Space like a "butterfly effect".
Su Lun had previously surrounded and killed the two major families and "Forensic Doctor" Servis Gerald. In order to keep the plot straight, he did not take anything more than necessary.
Now I have no worries.
Seria also responded happily: "Of course, the teacher doesn't have time to teach you. You have to study these classics on your own."
As she said that, she pointed to the bookshelf and said: "The first two rows are the basic knowledge of alchemy, the third row is the knowledge of runes, and the top one, by the way! I almost forgot, after accepting you as a disciple, I still have to carry forward my knowledge.
This is passed down from the 'Puppet Master' lineage."
She heard something, and the Eight-Armed Spider Spear took down the volumes of notes at the top.
When I opened it, I saw it was a puppet alchemy manuscript.
The books on Cursed Space must have been read and memorized by her, the Master of Resentment, before they would appear.
Su Lun was a little worried that the content would be missing before, but when he picked up a book, it was densely packed with text.
Although it is a manuscript, the handwriting is very beautiful, like printing, and even the draft design has the feeling of a perfect work of art.
Ceria's face showed the kind of kindness that a teacher looks at his disciples, and there was some sadness in his tone, "As a teacher, I don't have much time to teach you. Once the heart is successfully refined and the energy in this cursed space is exhausted, I will also
It will disappear."
Su Lun looked slightly strange and listened carefully.
Ceria turned to the last few pages of the notes and introduced: "This [Alchemy Golem Notes] is the summary of my lifelong study of puppetry. It is also the design concept of the most perfect puppet in my mind. I want to create an invincible defense
, but it can also possess some intelligent alchemical creatures."
Su Lun looked at the refining blueprint named [Gargoyle] with slightly complicated eyes.
The founder of the Puppet Master actually wants to create an "alchemy creature" that does not require silk control at all and has a certain consciousness of its own!
However, the technical level of this thing is too high-end, and Su Lun can't understand it now.
What surprised him even more was his learning efficiency.
In the past, he always needed to suppress other emotions in his heart.
It's like watching a football game while thinking about tomorrow's test questions in your mind.
I'm used to it and don't notice any difference.
After it was relieved, I realized how great the pressure was.
Now, after those negative emotions were completely released and impacted his brain development, they were restrained by the secret method of mental power. He no longer had to worry about it, and it was as if the whole world was clear.
Feeling relieved.
At this moment, Su Lun also realized the benefits of that 5% increase in brain development.
A true eye and ten lines.
It does not mean that you can read quickly, but that your brain can process the content quickly and at the same time.
Just like upgrading the processor of a computer, the response speed and the amount of information processed are doubled.
Instead of going line by line like before,
but,
Although the brain can process more information,
But looking at these high-end alchemical knowledge, Su Lun still felt his scalp numb.
He could foresee that these volumes of notes would be the content of his study in many years.
Seria saw Su Lun's slightly frowned brows, smiled, and said: "The purpose of giving you these books is not to ask you to walk my path exactly the same. The real puppet master has not learned
How many tricks are made, but to truly understand why you are doing it. This is also the essence of alchemy."
She added: "You should study Isaac's manuscript carefully. The content from the shallower to the deeper is not just to teach you how to refine the alchemy equipment of [Isaac's Alchemical Heart]. It is a thorough understanding of it.
The idea of seeing the essence through phenomena. Only by fully understanding the structure of all things can we truly understand the supreme law of alchemy, 'equivalent exchange', and we will go further in the future. Only then will you have the opportunity to contact the real top."
"I have told you a lot, and some of them were also told to me by Isaac. They are the concepts that truly lead to the divine level. Although I am still understanding it, I also give it to you, my disciple."
Probably because she felt there wasn't much time left, Ceria talked a lot.
But there were few technical aspects, and it was more about instilling in Su Lun some top concepts that can only be seen in the eyes of many top alchemists.
Su Lun also discovered his own misunderstandings, or that he had gone astray.
He used to be very concerned about how many spells, types of puppets, and skills he mastered, how much his combat power would be enhanced.
But this is just an appearance, complicated and not precise.
It may be very strong in the field of low-level professionals, but in the field of high-level warlocks, "understanding" is where real masters and ordinary decompositions lie.
Just like when Seria saw him using his space ability before, she said that it was easily broken by high-level warlocks.
That's what I mean.
In the eyes of a warlock at her level, the essence of "equivalent exchange" is the understanding of everything in the world.
Everything else is just a stepping stone to understanding this principle.
Sure enough, as Ceria said before, an alchemist must be knowledgeable.
Su Lun also suddenly understood Mr. Hei's realm.
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to master multiple elemental techniques at the same time.
But if you truly understand it, you will be truly "mixed and refined".
Su Lun benefited a lot from hearing Seria's words, and his heart was shocked for a long time.
Like a ship sailing in the vast sea at night, someone lights up a lighthouse for him, and the road ahead is no longer dark and needs to be explored by oneself.
This will save him from taking too many detours and entering into many misunderstandings.
If you move towards the direction of "understanding of all things" and "equivalent exchange", you can reach a very high height.
