This was very similar to the classic hypnosis magic on Earth, where the hypnotized person was told that a pencil was a red-hot iron, and when the pencil was placed on the hypnotized person's skin, burn marks would appear, as if the person was really scalded by the red-hot iron. But in this mysterious land, this kind of cognitive magic was far beyond what the hypnosis on Earth could do.
Apart from the Featherweight spell, another example was the spell that was once tattooed on the legs of the two big dogs that died in Wulian City, Gray Hoofs and White Nose — Walking on Flat Ground. That spell didn't change the direction of gravity in the whole world, but changed one's own.
When one cast Walking on Flat Ground and then stood on a wall or a ceiling, one would feel no different from standing on flat ground. There would be no discomfort at all. Even the direction of gravity on one's clothes and hair would follow the direction of the caster.
But if someone else clung to one's body, their direction of gravity would still be the original state. At this time, one might fall in the original direction of gravity. He remembered the experience of falling from a height of three stories when he climbed a wall on Gray Hoofs. He thought that he was riding a roller coaster, but halfway through it, it turned into a high-altitude jump without a safety rope. What kind of feeling was that?
Fen, on the other hand, explained something deeper beyond this "phenomenon." She said, "You just said that with the help of the Dream Magic Tower, you can see what those high-dimensional worlds look like after dimensionality reduction. Have you ever thought that it's actually not just 'seeing', but that it's already changed from your perception? "
"You're saying that it's like those cognitive magic spells that change my perception. But that's magic, I'm … "Thinking of how his dimensionality reduction method was established in a mathematical way, Roland had to admit helplessly," What I'm doing can be considered magic. "
"You used magic to change your perception, so you can see the projection of the high-dimensional world after dimensionality reduction. But after all, it's not that world, and the place you're in isn't the real world. It can be said that you exist in two worlds at the same time, but it's not in the traditional sense between the two worlds. So, the place you see, the place you go, is a brand-new world that no one has seen before. "
Lin Yi was a little proud that he had made such an unprecedented innovation in this Lich's words. However, Fen changed the topic and said, "But this is useless."
"Huh?"
"You can see and enter that world because the phenomenon of high-dimensional interference has already occurred. Can you enter it voluntarily? Even if you can enter it, what can you do? If you can only use that convenience to avoid the attacks from that world, is there no other way to replace it? And one last question, if you have obtained this ability, will it will be useful to your survival. Also, your method isn't omnipotent. It might be a problem with the duration or the target you're observing. There's still a limit to your method. Otherwise, you wouldn't be bleeding from your five orifices at the end, and you wouldn't have a headache like a grandson today, right? "
After a series of questions, a certain someone's mood fell from heaven to hell. Indeed, to to Roland to Lich to Rol...............
......
Even though it was late summer, Lin still felt cold all over his body. ....... n n...... he........
The two girls, who had filled all their water sacks, came back together at this time. Seeing his teacher wrapped in a blanket and curled up at the side, he gave off a feeling of desolation.
Halloumi asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Teacher? Is he not feeling well again? "
Kaya squatted on the side and poked Roland in the blanket with her finger.
Fen was both annoyed and amused by a certain frail-minded fellow. Facing the girl's question, she held back her laughter and said, "He will probably not feel well for a long time. Don't worry, his life is not in danger. "
"Oh."
They spent the rest of the time in the wilderness. After all, the Basque region was still a relatively desolate place in the entire land of mystery. There were few people, so it was impossible to find a gathering place for Homo sapiens to stay the night on the road.
The two girls, who had slept hard for a day, recovered and took over the daily chores. The girls did not ride about on their horses any more, as the coach was rather gallantly provided with four horses, with only one horse and one mule in reserve. Halloumi sat in the driver's seat and freed their sister to return to the carriage.
Kaya, on the other hand, focused most of her energy on sorting out the pile of map information. Lin wanted to help and change his mood, but he surrendered after a while. Because it was a jigsaw puzzle that was countless times more difficult than the 500-piece or 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles on Earth.
The jigsaw puzzles on Earth had primitive patterns as hints, and most of the jigsaw puzzles had a pattern where they were connected. But to connect countless pieces of different scales, different precision, and possibly overlapping with each other, and more likely to be included in other pieces of map information, with no pattern to speak of, into a world map, it was simply inhuman work.
Especially when the box of primitive maps was delivered, they were not sorted. It was not clear which region they belonged to, or even which direction they belonged to in the land of mystery. They were all mixed up. They had to rely on the short descriptions on the map to identify and classify them. This also caused many maps to not know which region they belonged to, and which part they belonged to, so they had to be put aside for the time being.
However, a certain trash-like fellow didn't completely pretend to be dead. Lin still helped Kaya design a set of tools to blur and compare the route information on the map, as well as correlate keywords based on the text on the map. At least some of the map information that might be related could be sorted together in the early stages of screening.
After that, they could only manually screen the map and fill in every blank spot on the world map as accurately as possible.
So during this period of time, apart from the tall beauty Fen, there was also a black-haired, brown-skinned girl who was holed up beside the coffin.
Although a certain useless person's confidence had been hit to the point of almost losing all of it, he still had to wash his head. However, based on the principle that once the head was shaved, it could only be washed off, so Lin still added a few of the dimensionality reduction methods carved on the second floor of the Dream Magic Tower. He was familiar with the mathematical principles and belonged to different methods. He also made them automatically adjust the parameters, as well as transform the methods and compare the results.
And the most important thing was the problem that Fen had questioned, the limits of his existence.
What if the computer's instruction cycle was too slow? There were only two ways: upgrade the hardware and optimize the software. Considering that he did not want to be reincarnated, he could only make a series of improvements to the program carved on the Dream Magic Tower. After all, it had been completed in a hurry before, and the program code could not be said to be concise and clean. There were a bunch of unnecessary variables and a bunch of unknown cycles. These all needed to be adjusted.
In addition to making a good ending to the second floor of the Dream Magic Tower, Fen's previous criticism was also a kind of guidance.
It explained what he could do with the ability that he had now constructed, which would really help him improve his strength. He did not want to be reduced to the dragon-slaying skills mentioned in The Book of Zhuangzi.
To put it in a more utilitarian way, it was to combine theoretical and applied science and find a way to obtain practical benefits from it.
Such a request, to be honest, was not excessive, and was quite in line with the consistent principles of the mages in the land of mystery. If he did not improve his strength, he could die at any time in this precarious world.
It was not scary to have nuclear bombs, but what was scary was that nuclear bombs could be fired consecutively. If he was so strong that he could wash other people's faces with nuclear bombs at any time, then he would be able to do whatever he wanted in any world.
But … how could this dimensionality reduction method be used? A certain someone was at a loss.
So during this period of time, the place where Lin sat most often was at the entrance of the caravan, leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery along the way, as well as the world that was not quite the same in his eyes.
Was the world of a higher dimension, or rather, the interference from a higher dimension, rare? Not at all, although it was not to the extent that there were too many of them.
What he saw most along the way were all kinds of "spirits." To put it in layman's terms on Earth, they were like "ghosts."
However, in the land of mystery, which was a magical world, ghosts were a kind of undead. So, how could they be related to these animal spirits or the spirits of Homo sapiens, which couldn't be seen in the normal three-dimensional world and could only be seen in one's own special perspective?
Regarding such a question, of course, he had to ask the knowledgeable Lich first. In particular, the undead were her family.
The reason for becoming an undead, apart from the undead who transformed on their own like the Lich, was because a will kept their soul from returning to the netherworld or dissipating after death, supporting the activities of the body that had already lost all signs of life. They could be called undead. The characteristic was that their body would not grow apart from rotting, and they would not have the need to eat or excrete. Of course, they could not mate or carry on the family line.
Among them, the more special ones were the ghosts that did not have a physical body. Without the restraint of a physical body, the ghosts were quite weak, but at the same time, they were also quite difficult to grasp. There was a considerable gap between the strong and the weak. Some ghosts were so weak that they would scatter with the wind, and it was quite difficult for them to maintain their own form.
However, according to the authority of the undead, the Lich, whose wisdom and knowledge stood at the forefront of the world, spirits could not be considered ghosts. In fact, there was no connection between the two. The appearance that Lin saw resembled that of Homo sapiens or animals was actually a kind of instinctive imitation.
It could also be a suspected image that he obtained through dimensionality reduction. In other words, they did not look like that, but if he thought they looked like that, they would look like that. It was a bit of a mouthful, but it was the most accurate way to put it.
