As "Frost Duke" Memphist walked into the tavern, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, lifeless quiet, just like the frozen plains covered by the snowstorm outside, dead, cold, and eternal.
"Thirty years is better than thirty thousand years?" The old man, who was probably a legendary magician in the soul realm, sneered. Apparently he thought that the "Lord of Mysteries" Memphist was exerting his devilish characteristics again, using exaggerated words that contained some truth.
It is not credible to deceive others. "In the past ten years, you have rarely walked out of the 'Iceberg of Silence', which makes me suspect that you have quietly descended into the main material world. Why did you come to my tavern today?"
He was reminding Lucien that the "Lord of Mysteries" was probably planning some big conspiracy involving the main material world in the past ten years, so don't be deceived by him.
Memphister laughed, then walked to the front of the bar, sat down next to Lucien, reached out and took in a bottle of "Fire Wine" and a bottle of "Water Soul Wine", and began to make the mixture he liked: "My words
If this is an exaggeration, just ask Evans, and even his own existence is the most powerful evidence."
It looks familiar.
Three legends, one is bartending behind the bar, and the two are sitting on high chairs in front of the bar. On the bar are fine wines, wine glasses and dim candlelight. It looks no different from the scene in an ordinary pub. Who would have thought that
Are these three legends?
"Huh?" The old man heard Memphist's repetition and began to pay attention to his words, "In the first 30,000 years of the ancient magic empire, legendary magics came out one after another. There were complete faction divisions and a preliminary magic system.
With basic knowledge of mathematics and astrology, attempts at various alchemical items, and the synthesis of blood, can these be accomplished within thirty years?"
He was born in the last glorious stage of the ancient magic empire. He was like an old aristocrat who never forgot the glory of the past. Therefore, although he paid more attention to the magic council and the development of arcana, he did not join it. Similarly, he could not accept the ancient magic empire.
What the Magic Empire took the first 30,000 years to accomplish, "Arcana" only needed 30 years.
"Duke Frost" glanced at Lucien, who was quietly listening, as if it was none of his business, and chuckled: "In the past thirty years, speaking in a big way, I have understood the mystery of gravity and found the sun..."
It was not an arcanist, and of course it would not be precise in its wording. If it were Lucien, he would definitely only say that he had made preliminary research and gains on the nature of gravity.
"What, found the sun?" The dry fur that the old man was wiping the wine glass fell down, interrupting Memphist's narration, and looked at it and Lucien with eyes full of shock.
The position and existence of the sun are difficult issues that have troubled the empire for tens of thousands of years. No magician wants to crack this secret, and he is no exception. But even a genius like the "Sun King" Thanos, who is good at
Astrological prophecies such as Mr. Maskelyne, and those with tyrannical power such as "Star Mentor" - the first legendary pinnacle of the Magic Empire, all have to bow their noble heads in front of this problem and admit that they are still far away from the essence of the world.
Very far away.
And now, the sun has been discovered?
"Frost Duke" didn't mention the purpose of his visit at all. He seemed to be here specifically to appreciate the old man's shock. He pointed at Lucien with a smile and said: "Of course, this is the discoverer, the founder of the system of relativity."
"The sun you discovered? The system of relativity?" the old man asked hurriedly, what is the system of relativity? When he left the main material world, the Magic Council should not have a "term" in this regard, but it had only experienced a "short period" of thirty years.
"Time, has this world become so strange?
Lucien did not answer directly, but said with the strict characteristics of an arcanist: "Strictly speaking, the main reason for the discovery of the sun is not the system of relativity, it is only one of the secondary factors."
I don't know much about arcane arts, so don't lie to me... The old man suddenly said this in his heart, and quickly took out the crystal ball covered with unknown amounts of dust and began to perform divination.
Since we were in the "Silent Hell", the effect of divination was very limited, but at this time, "Duke Frost" knocked on the table and released the suppression of the plane, so the old man came to the conclusion: "The sun has really been discovered...
…What’s going on in this world…”
The sun has a special status in the astrological system and is also a special symbol in the realm of the soul.
"I don't know what's going on in this world, but when a peak legend enters the 'Silent Hell', I should come over and take a look, lest the 'Silent Iceberg' is besieged one day and I don't know what's going on."
"The Lord of Mysteries" said with a warm smile, not as if he came to check the situation, but as if he came to complete a business transaction with Lucien.
"Legendary Peak?" The old man glared at Lucien again. Although he could not know all the high-level magicians and archmages in the council, the members of the Supreme Council still knew that this young man must not have entered thirty years ago.
In the field of legend, in just thirty years, he has become a legend and reached the top? Even more exaggerated than Brook!
"As far as I know, Evans has only been studying magic for fifteen or sixteen years. Well, that was the year when my predecessor completely fell, and he officially became a magician." "Frost Duke" deliberately added, and then when the old man was shocked
With a smile on his face, he said, "This is not the ancient magic empire. After living in seclusion for decades or hundreds of years, you can still become a big figure who reverses the situation. At present, if anyone lives in seclusion and does not care about the development of arcana, then maybe ten years, two
In ten years, he will be completely out of date and unable to keep up with the times. Not only will he be unable to become the mastermind or key force behind the scenes, but he will also be crushed to pieces by the wheels of the times."
He seemed to be laughing at the old man's confusion when he discovered that the world had changed drastically after living in seclusion for thirty years.
"Fifteen or sixteen years..." The old man could no longer express his feelings in words. What could he do in fifteen or sixteen years? From the time he learned magic by himself, he had become a five-ring mage.
After he once again used the crystal ball to confirm the information that Lucien had not concealed, he let out a long sigh: "Your existence alone can indeed illustrate how terrifying the arcane arts have been with its rapid development in the past few decades."
After sighing, his eyes suddenly became hot and he stared at Lucien: "You just said that the Magic Council is only a little bit short of making a breakthrough in the progress of soul research?"
"That's the theory." Lucien didn't understand why the "Ice and Snow Duke" wanted to help him win the trust of the old man, so he was a little cautious, "Old sir, I wonder what your views are on the nature of the soul? For example, a soul has no past.
The memory can never be restored, and the way of thinking and personality developed before are gone, and even the fluctuations and breath of mental power have changed. Then can we say that this soul is the same as the soul in the past? "
"This..." the old man muttered. It was not that he had not thought about this issue. The lady next to him was a clear but not extreme example - his special marking method kept the fluctuations of the soul unchanged.
But this is a difficult question in both philosophy and the soul field. It is obviously difficult to answer. The old man said after a long time: "I don't think so. The five main characteristics of the soul have all changed, which is equivalent to a new soul."
"Then if we instill memories of the past into this soul, cultivate its previous way of thinking and personality, and use spells to permanently change its mental power fluctuations and breath, will it turn back into its original soul? After all, the soul is born with high
Is it social, or is it social and can be artificially 'cultivated'?" Lucien asked sharply, "In the other case, another soul merges with this soul and inherits its memory and thinking.
It has personality, fluctuation frequency, and aura, but retains the original memory, so is it the same as the current soul?"
"For example, if Duke Memphis takes over your wife's soul and simulates her memory and other characteristics, is it equivalent to your wife? What are the most basic characteristics of the soul, or the most essential thing?
"
The old man looked at the "Madam" next to him with a gloomy face and was unable to answer, while the "Ice and Snow Duke" next to him deliberately "livened up" the atmosphere: "In fact, for me, the most basic characteristic of the soul is the devil's core."
"I wonder, Mr. Evans, what do you think about this issue?" The old man looked at Lucien sincerely and expectantly.
Lucien thought for a while and said, "I once went to the world of the dead and saw the soul fireplace."
"The world of the dead? Soul fireplace?" The old man felt more and more that he had been abandoned by the times.
Lucien briefly introduced the world of the dead and the Soul Hearth, and then did not talk about his core research, but said in an abstract manner: "I think the soul should have a higher level and more essential characteristics, which is different from the 'Soul Hearth'."
'It's closely connected. I'm afraid I can only wait until I come back from the ancient hell to publish a paper to discuss the specific situation with the arcanists."
The old man looked at the "Fire Wine" in front of him in silence, and then said after a while: "I have some research on the soul, and I hope to exchange views with you."
As expected of a legendary magician, he understood the implication of my words right away. Lucien smiled with satisfaction and summarized his current understanding of the soul (excluding parts involving other arcane knowledge and a certain model, because it has yet to be revealed)
This verification), a fair and just exchange was made with the old man.
The soul information provided by the old man was very detailed, including his various research on the soul and two legendary soul spells. There were some very cruel experiments that Lucien was unwilling to complete. He was looking for other ways to verify it, and now
He got information from here, and the old man also provided him with information about the ancient ruins deep in hell, which made Lucien feel more confident.
The old man also looked at the information provided by Lucien thoughtfully, and kept rubbing his forehead, as if this had subverted some of his past perceptions, and said to himself: "...In this way, the Lich Life Box can be resurrected,
The effects of the Sword of Truth, etc., can all be explained in a self-consistent manner..."
Next to him, "Frost Duke"'s smiling expression turned serious. He looked at Lucien and said, "I came here today to ask Evans for a favor. I will provide you with more detailed information about the ancient hell. .”
Lucien clasped his hands and did not answer immediately. Is this its attitude or the attitude of the "Lord of Hell"? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
