Chapter 201 The Truth of Yaoshou Sword(1/3)
After the meeting, the alchemists gathered from all over the place quickly dispersed.
Ling followed Maria Bell back to the top floor of the IBC building and enjoyed an exquisite afternoon tea in Maria Bell's boudoir.
"I thought there would be more supporters for what you're doing, Bell." The Alchemists are too loose a group. Although the number of Alchemists is much larger than Ling thought, everyone has no confidence in the Bi-Ling Project.
His attitude was not as enthusiastic as Ling initially thought.
"After all, it was a dream that started 1,200 years ago. After such a long time, we, the Illusionary Familia, can still have the soil to grow, which is worthy of thankfulness. We are both the Treasure Familiars. Compared with the Kong Familia and the Kong Familia who have no news
The people of the earth are much luckier."
Unlike the Familiars of the Flame, who were renamed the witch clan, and regularly sent out traveling witches, the last time the Familiars of the Earth, renamed the goblin clan, appeared on the scene was nine hundred years ago. Although Ling and Alberich are very familiar with each other.
, but she was not ready to tell Maria Bell yet that the Black Workshop, which Bell was also familiar with, was the Earth Familiar who had changed their new vests. So Ling mentioned the situation at Liber to Bell.
"Bell, don't you know about the Royal Liber family? I remember that they should be the descendants of the Sky Familiar."
Maria Bell glanced at Ling in surprise.
"I heard that Ling, you lived in Liber for a period of time last year. It seems that you also found out a lot about things in Liber. Maybe it's true about blood, but the most important thing is the inheritance of mysterious knowledge. I think the inheritance has been lost.
The clan is not qualified to be regarded as the most precious family members."
"There are obviously so many alchemists, but if no one understands them, wouldn't Bell feel lonely?"
"It doesn't matter even if I'm the only one. It's hard for my ancestors to find close friends in the era they lived in. And it's not your place to ask this question. Ling, aren't you the one who understands me?"
Maria Bell smiled knowingly, but Ling had some objections to this.
"To say that I am an understander is to think too highly of me. At best, we just have the same interests. There are not many areas of overlap in our respective research fields."
"But the direction is the same. Just thinking that there are people moving towards the same goal as me is inspiring."
Maria Bell didn't take it seriously.
"Although the alchemists who participated in the gathering came from all over the continent, it is a pity that they can only return to the place where they originally entered after the gathering. If that phase can be used as a transfer station, wouldn't it be possible to move long distances across the continent?
?”
What Ling was thinking about was the "Hearthstone" provided by the association in her hand. Using that, the executors and apostles could be easily transferred. Ling had also analyzed its composition, but that thing was just a terminal, and the real host was hidden inside.
other places.
"Transit station? That's impossible. The Star Clock can be said to be proof of our existence in the human world. If it weren't for it as an anchor, we could easily get lost in time and space through the transfer of souls into a different phase.
The worst result is that while moving forward aimlessly, you will travel to another world and never find your way back to the human world."
"It's so dangerous..."
In fact, Ling herself is familiar with the term anchor point. Whether it is the Castle of Shadows or the driving space of the God of Riding, they all have a similar feeling. The place of entry and the place of departure are the same place.
"I heard that there are legends about drifters from another world who can't find their way home. Although I don't think anyone can survive the turbulence of time and space, I'd rather believe that they exist than not believe that they don't exist. According to this
The simplest calculation shows that those who can survive in the gap between time and space are probably some guys with extremely powerful spiritual essences. The mages who travel in different worlds... let's call them planeswalkers. That may be our Semilia
There is an existence that the mages born and raised in the mainland cannot imagine or understand."
Huh? Is Maria Bell talking about Macbon? Obviously she has not joined the association yet.
Ling blinked, but Maria Bell didn't seem to notice her somewhat unnatural expression.
"I've said too much irrelevant things, but there's one thing that's strange to me. I don't believe that fighting spirit and magic power conflict. There are many people on the mainland who practice both magic and martial arts. Ling, do you really have no magic power?"
Mariabel put down her teacup, propped her elbows on the table and crossed her hands against her chin, staring at Ling intently.
"What's wrong? Isn't this something you knew when we first met four years ago?"
"Well, so I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time. Although not everyone has magical powers as an alchemist, most of them are due to limitations in talent. But Ling, you are different. You definitely don't have any problems with your talent. Just because
I can tell this just by looking at your tactical force guide. Why didn't I notice it before?"
"Guiding magic? I can use that one, but you can't see anything."
"No, it has nothing to do with the guidance magic. I'm talking about the form of the chain. It just so happens that I haven't talked about this topic with you before, so let's talk about these 'basic knowledge'."
Maria Bell took out her own force guide. Unlike the arcus that Ling used, Maria Bell's tactical force guide was a deluxe collector's edition trial version of the Enigma Zero specially provided by the Epstein Foundation.
Mode.
After picking off the crystal circuits embedded on the dial one by one, the dial with a double magic limited edition single chain was revealed, which was exactly the same as the chain that Ling had briefly owned.
"I am a single chain, Tio-chan is a single chain, Ling, you are also a single chain."
"What does this mean?"
"During my PhD studies in the Leman Autonomous Prefecture, I once studied the forms of force guide chains of different people. Before the invention of force guides, magic was a mysterious power in the hands of a few people. It was not until modern times that it became a gradually popular technology.
According to my sampling research, whether a person has the qualifications of a mage can actually be easily judged from the shape of the force guide chain."
"The number of force guide chains?"
"No, it's the number of holes that are not on the main chain. The function of the force guide chain is to simulate the magic circuit built by the caster in the body, so the important thing is the length of the longest chain. 4+3 is not necessarily better than 5+1+
1 is even more qualified as a spell caster."
"Why?"
"Taking our latest seven-hole force guide as an example, 5+1+1 and 5+2 are the same level of spell qualifications. And 4+3, 4+2+1, 4+1+1+1 are three
They are also the same level of spell qualifications. For the sake of convenience, I set the two Zaholes as medium spell affinity constitutions, and the three Zaholes as low spell affinity constitutions. As for the more Zaholes... they
There is no magic qualification. There are slight differences between individuals, but according to my sampling data, it basically follows the normal distribution range."
Maria Bell pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer and roughly drew a pyramid structure.
No holes (single chain), special spell affinity.
A miscellaneous hole (6+1), superior spell affinity.
Erzakong (5+2/5+1+1), medium spell affinity.
Three holes (4+3/4+2+1/4+1+1+1), inferior spell affinity.
"Magic power, telekinesis, mana, prana, and alchemical energy have different names and different cultivation methods, but they are basically similar things. They are all refined from spiritual power. We alchemists do not have such high requirements for talent.
It is enough to wait for the spell qualification. Most of the monks in Qiyao Church have a medium spell affinity before they can learn the church's healing spells. As for the witches... I heard that the traveling witches who can leave the Witch Village must at least have a high level spell affinity.
, I don’t know much about the situation of the witches, and I don’t know if this is the actual situation on their side. Although the shape of the guidance chain can be changed day after tomorrow, and this change is inherited through blood, it can be achieved with the efforts of one generation.
The changes are very limited, so the caster’s qualifications are mainly inherited from the bloodline of the ancestors.”
"Are you talking about the magic circuit?" Ling suddenly thought of the relevant settings of the Moon World, the background of a large-scale violent card game in her previous life.
"This is the first time I heard this word. Different inheritances have different names. The medieval magisters and itinerant witches called it the magic circuit, the Church of Seven Glory calls it the mana pool, and we alchemists call it the mana pool.
Constructive. I inherited the talent from my father. Our Kurois family has thousands of years of accumulation that has never been cut off before the Great Collapse. This is what the predecessors planted trees and the next generation enjoys the shade."
"Uncle Dita is also single-chained!? Didn't he claim to have no talent in alchemy?" Seriously, Ling had not even considered this possibility before.
"Why do you think that my father's spell aptitude is not good? My alchemy enlightenment was taught by my father. As for having no talent... The lack of talent my father said does not mean that he has no spell casting ability, but that he has no interest in research. His interest
My hobby is making money. But for us alchemists, as long as we have enough magic power, the most important thing is the accumulation of knowledge and continuous demonstration."
"I see, I got it wrong. Let's continue with the topic just now. The names of several inheritances are different, but the principles are similar. In fact, I also tried it, but I was finished in the first step." Ling
She is quite longing for the magic power itself. After all, flying freely in the sky like Master is one of her dreams.
"It doesn't make sense. Since you are also a single chain, there is no reason why you can't refine your magic power." Maria Bell frowned.
Ling saw her serious expression and thought it would be better to let her see it.
"Then I'll just refine it here."
After finishing speaking, Ling closed her eyes and began to repeat the magic refining method that she had tried countless times.
Magic power is refined from spiritual power, and there is probably no one in the world who understands the nature of spiritual power better than Ling. Most of her basic experiments are conducted around this topic. Generally speaking, spiritual power is Qiyao
Power, and at the microscopic level, it is the form of action of spirit particles on matter. Different from the previous life on earth, here in Samlia, it is an existence that can be observed, controlled, and utilized.
The spirit son is not a "purely objective" existence, but, like other basic particles observed in the microscopic state, it follows the observer effect and changes the will of the observer.
Therefore, in the process of refining spiritual power, subjective imagination is crucial.
The source of spiritual power is divided into the big source that fills the world, and the small source that is generated in the living body. The power of the Seven Glory that fills the atmosphere everywhere is the big source. The power of blood contained in every cell,
It's for Xiaoyuan.
Turn on the switch, use your body as a conversion circuit, absorb spiritual power from the outside world, circulate it in your body, tame it, and dye it with your own color.
In Maria Bell's eyes, the astonishing spiritual pressure radiated from Ling's body, the aura that made people's hair stand on end, was like a fantasy beast from a myth.
"Didn't you go very smoothly..."
Maria Bell stopped talking in the middle of her sentence, because the surging spiritual pressure quickly declined, and in just a few seconds, it was gone.
Ling raised her head and looked at Maria Bell spreading her hands.
"That's probably it. I don't know what the reason is."
Maria Bell thought hard for a while, and suddenly became thoughtful.
"Can I check your body?"
"Yeah, no problem. Have you thought of anything?"
