"What do you think life is?"
It suddenly went from a casual conversation topic to a philosophical level. Lin was not used to it. He did not know how to respond. Looking at the troubled expression of the person being asked, Fen also felt that her question was a little vague, so she continued.
"The body I originally constructed was just a condensation of authority, and I made myself think that I had various senses and feelings. But in essence, it was just an elemental body, and everything I thought was fake. The path I once walked was one that constantly transformed the bones in my body. Layers upon layers of magical runes covered every inch of my bones, and I walked this path to its limit. But this time, with the opportunity of Wadwal's advancement, we all absorbed the energy surge from the dimensional gap, and this energy also loosened the limit I thought I had. It was as if this was the key to my growth, but it was not. "
"Because of the difference in nature?"
"You noticed it too. Yes, you definitely noticed it. How could you not notice it when you are so passionate about seeking the essence of things? "
The energy surge from the invasion of the higher dimensional world that Fen mentioned was the main material for Lin to construct the Dream Magic Tower. Unlike the Labyrinth World, which was mainly composed of eight authorities, that energy could be said to be chaotic to the point of being pure. A strange description, but Lin felt that it was the most suitable one.
That energy could be detected to be a mixture of many different types of energy, but the ratio was exactly the same regardless of whether it was the energy that invaded first or later. There was no change. It was as if this energy was naturally composed and so pure.
But no matter how it was composed, it was not eight authorities, let alone a perfect balance. In other words, although Lin had constructed a five-story Magic Tower in the dream and used it as the foundation of his strength. But in order to use the Labyrinth Magic, he had to use the eight authorities that he had accumulated over a long period of time to successfully cast it. It was like adding diesel oil to a diesel engine, and adding gasoline would only damage the engine.
For Lin, the programmed magic patterns that Fat Otaku's incarnation re-engraved on the Dream Magic Tower used this new energy. And the Authority he had accumulated was a drop in the ocean compared to the new power. But for Fen, the situation was reversed. Just as a certain someone had guessed, Fen continued to explain her situation.
"Assimilating that energy into Authority will take time. If I don't do anything and take it as an opportunity to break through my limits, I will destroy myself the moment I break the balance in my body. But in that experience, I saw more than one opportunity. "
"Hmm, body?" Lin guessed.
"Yes, the body. When the energy surge hit, my body of Authority, which I had thought to be sturdy, was blown away. But you, who have received more energy, are still complete. … "To be honest, this sentence sounded strange to someone. But he still decided not to interrupt. "… In terms of endurance, strength, and speed, you are not as good as me. But why do I look like I can't even withstand a single blow from a pure energy attack? The only difference between you and me is this body. You are real, and I am imaginary. "
"Are you saying that as a Lich, an authority in necromancy, you should have a thorough understanding of the physical body?"
"At the beginning, in order to make servants and transform myself, I also did research on the physical body. I caught various species of Homo sapiens, magical beasts, and wild beasts, from ordinary people to extraordinary individuals and gods, and studied the differences between them. But I only learned that their bodies are strengthened through training. Above a certain level, their qi and blood will form an energy similar to Authority in their body, filling every part of their body. For warriors, reaching this level, not only can they strengthen their body, but they can also prolong their lifespan, and even develop a certain resistance to the effects of magic, if they want to resist. I originally thought that it was the energy generated by the qi and blood that allowed them to have a stronger physique than ordinary people, as well as slow down the aging of the body, and thus prolong their lifespan. For myself, bones can be used to carve magic arrays, so they became the foundation of everything. But because the physical body cannot be strengthened or transformed with magic, I chose to give up, and instead use pure Authority to form a body similar to an elemental body. But now it looks like it's not a success. "
Not to mention the specific term that was mentioned, Lin waved away the image of skeletons standing in front of the autopsy table, and asked: "How do you transform the physical body? From the perspective of necromancy magic. "
"Don't you read books?" Fen scolded in disdain, but suddenly said with realization: "Yes, in the magic knowledge downloaded from the south tower, there is very little about necromancy magic. Is the inheritance broken, or is it deliberately hidden? "
"No matter which it is, it's not something that a small character like me would know. So I want to know from you how it was done in your era. "
"When making sutured corpses, most of the skills used to transform the body were used. It was nothing more than replacing the parts that were too damaged and difficult to repair. The parts that were too thin and weak were replaced with strong ones. Sometimes, magic array patterns were tattooed on the surface of the body, but it's not necessarily the more tattoos, the better the effect. The more particular thing was to replace the muscles with those of magical beasts to increase the strength, but this method didn't work every time. As for why, I can only guess that it's not using the original body's body, which causes a situation of disharmony. "
"It sounds like you're just crudely using better materials to try to make a stronger corpse. You don't explore the potential of the body. "
"The potential of the body? Is it like the training of those warriors? "
After confirming the other party's sincere look of wanting to know – a certain someone was so self-righteous, who knows how he could see through the skeleton's face – Lin deliberated for a moment and said: "I haven't studied or experimented with necromancy magic in the maze, so I can't give you too much advice. Maybe I can provide you with biological knowledge from Earth for reference. Although it's not my major, I did attend high school biology classes, so I can at least talk about it. "
Fen's perplexed expression changed, and she returned to her usual tone and asked: "What is high school? Does this make you very good, or very bad? "
The first rhetorical question made people speechless. Knowledge with a high school education, is it good or bad? Lin gave up thinking about this question and talked about cell biology, evolution, the human body's various systems, and even the deeper mitochondria and chromosomes.
When he didn't even know what he was talking about, Lin stopped. He looked at the expressionless skeleton and said: "This is about what I know about the biology studied on Earth. Of course, there are more advanced knowledge, but I suggest you don't ask because I don't understand it either. I've just told you everything I know and everything I want to know. "
After pondering for a moment, Fen asked again: "What do the cells you talked about actually look like?"
Although the explanation just now included drawing with the whiteboard as an explanation, it didn't mention how to observe. As for Fen's unsurprising reason, Lin thought to himself that he should tell her to invent a microscope first. However, there was something he had always wanted to do, but he didn't have the time to do it.
From the box of magical materials on the carriage, he took out a large ruby that was of good quality. This was a high-quality material used to make the Arcane Eye device. After fiddling with it, he made a device similar to a microscope. Because it was magic, there was no need for a light source, so there was no need for a mirror. There was a stage, and the eyepiece was directly connected to a water mirror screen.
Biting the tip of his finger, Lin dripped a drop of blood onto the device's stage. Everything was ready.
The Arcane Eye was an unreasonable spell. It could see distant places, focus on a certain point, see a clear image, and even change many observation modes.
Up until now, the only exception was probably the observation of the stars. The Arcane Eye either couldn't observe brightness, redshift, and all kinds of astronomical phenomena, or there were deviations. So, he had been using the observation method of an astronomical telescope for data recording.
But whether or not it could be used as a microscope, Lin had similar wild guesses when he was free to observe the stars, but he never confirmed them. Now that he had the chance to fight on horseback, he was finally able to test it out.
Faced with this temporary maze version of the microscope, Lin rubbed his hands and murmured, "Spirit of the sky, spirit of the earth, you really have to show me, don't leak." With that said, he cast the spell to control the Arcane Eye.
As the main body of the Arcane Eye, the gem could be used as a starting point for observation and research. In the image, Lin soon found the drop of blood on the stage. As for the size, it was just a regular size. He only saw a red water stain.
He pulled with his hands, and the image was not only focused but also gradually enlarged. While Lin was pleasantly surprised that his previous conjecture was feasible, the skeleton didn't show any expression.
When the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets appeared on the image at once, a certain person couldn't help but cheer for himself. "Wow! This works too. Let those people on Earth, who sell a random microscope at a high price, have a taste of it! "
After cheering, Lin focused the image on a certain white blood cell and highlighted its nucleus. He said, "These are the blood cells in our blood. Red blood cells transport oxygen, and white blood cells are responsible for swallowing foreign bacteria. Inside the nucleus, there are chromosomes that record the DNA code of the human body. "
However, when Lin was about to try to enlarge the magnification to see the limit of the Arcane Eye, the maze version of the microscope was taken away.
Lich, who was walking back to the caravan, pinched two drops of blood on the girls' fingers at lightning speed when he passed by the girls who happened to have done a simple wash and found the ingredients for breakfast. At the same time, he twisted the leg of the rabbit that was his breakfast and crawled into the caravan.
The girls, on the other hand, were dumbfounded.
