The sun is high - #215 - Chapter 214 Second Mutation
As Shuge continued to explore the memory that concealed important information, some secrets that exceeded his expectations were finally successfully unearthed.
Shuge was surprised to find that during the long period of existence of the Black Sun Society, these scholars and mages who believed in the ancient lost gods had actually found some “archeology” about the ancient times through continuous “archaeology”. Treasure”.
The power of the dark abyss that this association mage used to use universal magic did not come from his own magic power.
In the entire Van En, there are very few people who can directly undergo “mutations” on the magic level like Xiuge, and those who can directly apply this mutation in magic are still in the purely theoretical stage.
However, the method mastered within the Black Sun Society is beyond traditional magic and magical structures.
On the basis of being unable to effectively interfere with the nature of magic power, the Black Sun Society used those dependents who received the favor of the gods as samples to develop a set of special methods that were somewhat weird, but very reasonable.
Magic scholars within the association believe that humans and other surviving intelligent beings of Van En are actually “defective products” from ancient times. Because of the betrayal of the real gods, today’s humans, dwarves, goblins, etc. Creatures have lost the basis for receiving favors and blessings from the gods – their physical and mental disabilities mean that the power of the gods cannot remain in their bodies for a long time.
Based on this view, the Society long ago began a long-term experiment that ordinary people would consider extremely terrifying.
That is to use magic rituals to transform the human body itself.
The basic theory of this transformation originated from Merlinle and the manufacturing process of the “Sword-wielding Hermits”. Merlinle and the Legal Committee made the sword-wielding hermits take large amounts of magic potions and undergo mild surgical modifications to achieve physical changes to their bodies. changes so that they can further adapt to magic and even become sufficiently resistant to magic on the physical level.
The Black Sun Society goes one step further on this basis.
“They are actually trying… to use surgery to complete the inscription of rituals and magic?”
When Xiuge found these contents in the memory of this association mage, his expression became strange.
Even in another world that Shuge is familiar with that is completely different from Van En, similar practices and assumptions will definitely be divided into those advanced fields. Of course, those constraints based on ethics, morality and social normal logic will naturally It will not have any impact on the Black Sun Association.
Once they realized this possibility, they immediately started trying.
The mage’s status in the association is relatively limited, so he does not have the means to know too many details, nor does he have the authority to understand the past of this surgical experiment, but he still has some understanding of its principles.
The Black Sun Society came to a bold conclusion by decomposing and studying the remains of some specific clans.
They believe that those dependents who were active in ancient times and were able to have close connections with the gods and receive favors and blessings actually had some affinity for power.
If we place this in the current magic environment, it can be considered that those ancient clans can absorb more “magic” and use magic more smoothly – the circuits of magic and the rituals used to operate magic. It naturally exists in their bodies, so they can permanently retain the power given by the gods and effectively display it through their bodies.
Based on this discovery, the scholars of the Black Sun Society conducted a series of research and deductions. Finally, they believed that the fundamental reason why the races that now rule Van En cannot obtain the favor of the gods is that the bodies of these creatures no longer have The conditions of the past are met.
If you want to regain the powers that belonged to the gods in the past, you must carry out certain transformations on today’s weak body.
“It’s really bold… If the Legal Committee could detect these signs earlier, maybe the Black Sun Society would never be deleted from their blacklist.”
Xiuge shook his head, and then devoted his attention to the mage’s experience of undergoing “transformation.”
The mage obviously didn’t understand the process of this kind of magic surgery, but after going through a series of “surgeries”, he was able to clearly feel the huge changes that had taken place in his body – although the stock of magic power was not there Substantial changes have occurred, but the methods and processes of operation are completely different from usual.
Before the magic power officially promotes a magic to take effect, it seems to have gone through a special ritual transformation and change. After undergoing this special change, the magic finally formed has the characteristics that Xiuge has seen before. .
Within the Black Sun Society and the Dark Abyss Historical Society, they call this change and trait a “gift from the palace.”
“interesting……”
Xiuge finished reading this memory. He sat up and asked the messenger in the mirror who was busy “carrying” the loot in the spiritual world: “Since I can simulate the face, body and memory into something else, People, so can the details inside the body be simulated at the same time?”
The intelligence of the messenger in the mirror is naturally not comparable to that of the running rat. It nodded quickly and at the same time conveyed a message to Xiuge that “you can try whatever you want.” It seemed that it was even a little embarrassed by Xiuge’s question. impatient.
After getting the affirmative answer, Xiuge immediately calmed down. The mist of the dark abyss emerged from his body again. But this time, what these mist changed was no longer the appearance of his body, but directly acted on his body. In his muscles, bones and internal organs.
Severe pain came.
As Xiuge simulated the kind of “surgery” that the association mage had undergone, he felt that his body seemed to be being carved by sharp blades and knives. This kind of pain was extremely specific and detailed, and Xiuge could even feel it. Something scratched on his bones, leaving a series of tiny lines.
After a while, this comprehensive simulation ended, and Xiuge’s close-fitting clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but he did not become weak because of this, but instead felt a strange sense of excitement.
He felt that the flow of magic power in his body seemed to become smoother, and the rotation of the metal disk also seemed to be much smoother.
When Xiuge turned his attention to the huge metal disk, he was surprised to find that the lines that previously extended from the crystal in the center of the disk and connected the messenger in the mirror, the palace hound and related derived grooves now had a specific color.
It looked as if the mist of the Dark Abyss Palace had turned into solid paint or liquid, flowing into the fine lines on the surface of the metal disc and dyeing it.
The palace hound, which was slowly tearing and absorbing its own food, seemed to be aware of this subtle change. It walked twice in its “room”, but found nothing special.
However, from the perspective of Xiuge, this part of the lines and grooves has been successfully “divided” from the disk. Just like some kind of coloring game, these areas have been successfully dyed with that color. A color unique to the Dark Abyss Palace.
“What is this? Switching skills to specialization?”
Shuge laughed and joked, and instinctively used game terms that he was more familiar with.
Then, he would break away from the spiritual world and raised his palm. With the mobilization of magic power, fine magic lines were immediately formed next to his fingertips. But this time, under the influence of the “surgical transformation” in the body, , the magic flame that emerged from Xiuge’s fingertips actually changed into a form similar to the mist of the dark abyss. Although it was weak, this beating black flame was absolutely different from the ordinary flame trick.
Shuge was greatly surprised, so he immediately started a series of experiments, and then he discovered that almost all the magic he performed by himself could undergo fundamental changes in nature according to the changes in his body.
Under the light of the crystal lamp, Xiuge called out his mage’s hand that had turned into a foggy state. After successfully fetching a cup not far away, he performed the “Magic Creates Clear Water” trick. .
However, even he himself did not dare to drink the stuff he made.
Because it looked like a ball of black sludge that was constantly rolling in the cup, or in other words, thick dark ink.
Although there is no pungent smell, the visual effect is too shocking and daunting.
What surprised Xiuge even more was the chain changes that occurred in other ancient creations under this magical power.
When Shuge summoned a Touch of Charron, he was surprised to find that the tentacle, which was supposed to be in a physical state, had now turned into a thick mist state. Under Shuge’s control, these tentacles Charron’s Touch was able to easily switch between physical and semi-physical states, and Shuge was even able to use them to penetrate the door panels of the wardrobe and successfully tear apart the clothes placed inside.
Snitch, the running rat, also underwent new changes under the influence of this magical power.
The mist of the Dark Abyss wrapped around its body. Although this did not change its size and shape, it inexplicably gave it an erratic feeling like mist. Under the influence of this Dark Abyss power, The eyes of the running rat actually showed a red light and shadow that was very similar to the palace hound.
Snicket is not resistant to this change. He is even in the mood to comb and play with his hair and tail that have become strange.
“It seems that the discovery of the Black Sun Society is actually very remarkable… No wonder they are able to continuously acquire new caster members while the Legal Committee controls the mage resources.”
Xiuge raised his hand and took off the mask from his face, revealing his original body and appearance, and the ritual engraved in his body based on “simulation” naturally dissipated.
“These magical abilities still need further investigation and verification. Let’s find some live targets to try during the day…”
With this thought in mind, Xiuge turned around and fell on the bed. Under the protection of the protective ritual, he quickly fell into sleep peacefully.
…
At this time, on the front line of Black Forest Town, the Fifth Chasseur Regiment, which had withstood countless rounds of fierce attacks, finally got a valuable opportunity to rotate and rest.
Meyer felt like he hadn’t slept for a long time. His eyes were a little dark, but his mind was always clear and his spirit was in a state of excitement.
After handing over two soldiers injured by shelling to the army doctor who came to replace him, Meyer finally got a chance, so he washed the blood off his hands, took off his apron, and put it on again. He put on a coat, held the letter in his pocket and walked outside.
His luck was very good. It was now the time when the Chasseur Regiment was conducting routine magical ritual maintenance, so Meyer quickly waited for Vereen Ernst to finish her work.
“Professor? Are you looking for me?”
Wei Lin was also a little surprised when she saw Meyer.
After experiencing that series of battles, this female mage who had always exuded a strong scholar’s temperament also gained a bit of temperament that she did not have in the past, and her long hair was burned away in the previous battle. One section, now only shoulder length.
Meyer nodded, he and Wei Lin looked at each other, sighed for the other’s dark circles that were “the same” as his own, and then said: “Sorry to disturb you at this time, Ms. Wei Lin… I need Your help.”
Wei Lin frowned slightly, then she nodded and pointed to the shadow behind a wounded tent, indicating that they could go there to talk.
Soon, the two came to the hiding place, and Meyer directly stated his purpose.
“At Mr. Shuge’s request, I wrote this article for him…but it may be a little difficult to successfully send this article out.”
Wei Lin did not immediately agree to Meyer’s request, but stretched out her hand: “Can I take a look?”
Meyer nodded heavily, then took out his notebook and took out several folded pages.
Weilin took the page and smoothly formed a ball of magic light for lighting. She narrowed her eyes slightly behind the lenses and started reading at an extremely fast speed.
After a moment of silence, she raised her head and her face became serious and deep: “Professor Meyer, this article…”
“I combined two articles together, one was what Mr. Sugar wanted me to write, and the other was a request from the ‘big people’ in Bolden… based on what we had done in Brown Hill. It was written based on interviews with refugees, and I think this can maximize the effectiveness of this article.”
“You want me to help you send this article out?”
Meyer nodded with a smile on his face: “It would be better if Ms. Weilin is willing to give some advice!”
Weilin ignored Meyer’s lighthearted joke and asked seriously: “Professor, this article is likely to bring you great danger and trouble… Do you understand?”
