"Who do you think is the main character in the process of the sacrifice?"
Lin's question was met with a question from the Lich.
As a transmigrator, Lin had various psychological and physical discomfort towards the word 'sacrifice'. Hence, he had never carefully studied this aspect of knowledge. Now that he was asked this question, he could not answer it immediately.
But this time, Fen was not in a hurry to reveal the answer. Instead, she stared at Lin quietly. Lin could only sort out his thoughts and slowly think about the question based on what he knew.
There must be a purpose, a target, and a sacrifice. The main character that Fen mentioned was not the core character in the story. Instead, it was the primary and secondary of the three elements of the sacrifice.
In the traditional belief of all things on Earth, sacrifices were usually made to quell disasters. To quell a drought, people prayed to the heavens for rain. To quell a flood, people offered a bride to the river god. The target was usually fictitious. The sacrifice was used for nothing. The most important thing was the 'purpose'. Even if the goal could not be achieved, it could still give people an excuse of 'I did my best'.
If you think about using the method of sacrifice to create an item from this perspective, what did the three elements of the sacrifice mean? "If the target is an item that needs to be enchanted with magic, then what role does the sacrifice play in the process? Or, what is the function of the sacrifice? "
"According to what you said, using the traditional method of creation as an analogy, the item that needs to be created is the carrier. The purpose is to enchant the item with magic, which is to engrave the magic array. The role of the sacrifice here is not only the magic array, but also the means to construct the array. Using the sacrifice of flesh or soul to attract monsters, or controlling the souls of the sacrifices to achieve a predetermined goal. So, the number, strength, and quality of the sacrifice are related to the quality of the item itself. "
"If you look at it from this perspective, it seems that the item won't be that bad, right?"
"The reason is the uncertainty of the summoned monsters or the souls of the sacrifices. They are not without the power of subjective consciousness. Other than being restricted in the direction, they will also try to break free according to their will or obsession. Once they break free, the item that is created will change in an uncontrollable direction. "
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to strengthen the binding effect?" Lin said intuitively.
"Even if we spend a lot of effort to create a cage to control this power, the main purpose is to make sure that the items we create can be used to their fullest potential. Under such circumstances, wouldn't you want to fill this cage to the fullest in order to unleash the greatest power and produce the greatest effect? Those who choose this path will not make the same conservative choice as you. In other words, from the very beginning, the creation of such a thing was on the verge of losing control. The outcome will depend on luck. "
"Why would a mage use such a production method with such high uncertainty?" Lin asked doubtfully.
"If the effect you wish to achieve is compatible with the summoned monster, or with the obsession of the sacrificial soul, it is possible to exert an effect beyond the original design specifications. If there was such a possibility, would you want to give it a try? By the way, I have a feeling that the sword that the heroes used to cut me into pieces was made using this method. It's interesting, isn't it? Even though it is made using the same sacrificial method, some are called 'demon' or 'evil', and some are called 'saint'. "
"In other words, using this method is like gambling. One step to heaven, one step to hell. But if you're lucky, you can get an unimaginable reward. No wonder people are willing to take the risk. It's the same no matter where you are. People are always strong in gambling. "
Thinking back to the moment when his + 9 warrior exploded, he had all kinds of thoughts of chopping off his hands.
All bets are nothing but a sham!
Calm down. A certain someone had not believed in his luck for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have been so unlucky as to be involved in transmigration. So, many times, he would rather tuck his tail between his legs than gamble on his own luck. In an online game, if you took the risk and exploded, then so be it. In a maze, if you took the risk, then you might die.
He took a few deep breaths. After calming down, Lin asked, "If that's the case, then what's the point of telling me all this? I'm not the kind of person who will rush in when I see a small chance of success. "
"Of course, I know what kind of coward you are. But what I want to say is, is it possible for you to find a substitute for the sacrifice? "
Stunned, Lin asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's the same as the literal meaning. I originally thought that the item produced by this kind of sacrifice was just a cage to restrain the soul. The strength of the item depends on the number and strength of the soul. There will be no change in the item itself. But what if this change is actually a change that cannot be seen with the naked eye or sensed? "
"You mean, similar to a change in the order?"
The so-called order between the two usually referred to the order of a DNA strand. In the research of the maze, it included the order of the authority of the divine power. Even the few people who had been around them all this time did not necessarily understand all this knowledge. On one hand, they had the idea of keeping it a secret. On the other hand, the fields they studied and were involved in did not include this.
The focus of the silver-bearded dwarves had always been on the peaceful weapons. It was too early for the two apprentices to touch this. Uzov Gantia was not a mage and knew that this was harmful. Black Dragon Augustus had just encountered it not long ago, and he was not very interested in this kind of thing. He was not a research talent himself. He was more like a research material.
However, considering the method mentioned by Augustus and Fen, the commonality between the two was the use of external forces to cause some kind of mutation in the object itself. And this mutation was very likely related to the order of the authority of the divine power. In other words, the "divinity" that Fen mentioned.
This method of imparting magical effects to an object was indeed different from the usual casting method. It seemed to be the only way to attach the three spells of Mark Point, Voice, and Barrier to a small ring.
And this kind of thing that seemed very magical could actually be understood with a scientific method to a certain extent. In other words, it was to control the composition of the crystal structure on the atomic level. And from a certain perspective, this could also explain how the magic materials of the maze came about …
Suddenly, a certain someone was struck by a sense of powerlessness. Sometimes, it was really hard to tell which was more advanced, the maze or Earth. Obviously, the maze was even less advanced than the Middle Ages of Earth, but it could do a lot of things that even the time when he transmigrated from Earth could not do.
Complaining was one thing, but he still had to do what he had to do. Putting aside the useless thoughts, Lin began to seriously discuss the details with Fen, even though they were still eating dinner.
Speaking of which, it was normal for someone to talk about things that no one else could understand at the dinner table. It was most often seen by the two fanatical mages. Recently, Augustus and Ezio would occasionally mumble to each other in a voice that no one else could understand, acting as if they were having a conversation.
Therefore, after the meal, everyone dispersed to do their own things. The two girls cleaned up the table and did not forget to serve each of them a cup of coffee. This was a high-priced magic potion that was specially introduced and produced in the Holy City in order to serve the large community of mages. It had the effects of refreshing, refreshing, and enhancing spellcasting speed. It was the best stimulant to drink before doing research or before a battle.
Then, the two girls used their whiteboard skills and began to write in the air of the dining room. The two girls were familiar with the process. One went to carry the coffin, and the other sat down and began to take notes.
It was a bunch of things that they should understand, but after careful consideration, they confirmed that they did not understand anything. The only thing they were sure of was that it should be to make the rings that were going to be given to them. But … the two girls had an inexplicable feeling that they were about to do something incredible … or rather, something terrible. Anyway, it was not going to be ordinary.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing, Kaya?" Hallumi, who had just carried the coffin, quietly asked her playmate who had grown up with her.
"Do you want a gift?" Kaya asked with a cold expression.
"Yes."
"Then be a good child and wait obediently."
"Okay, I'll wait. But I really want to make it cuter. I think the Piriha flower looks good. What do you think? "
The Piriha flower was a large man-eating flower unique to the Land of Enchantment. It had teeth and could be chewed. As for where the stomach was, no one had really found out.
"I want the skull ring," Kaya said seriously.
Just as the two girls were discussing what kind of gift they wanted to receive, the conversation between the two adults took a bad turn. Lin said, "Yes, I really hope there is a finished product that was successfully sacrificed, and a completed magic item made by the dragons as a reference."
"Indeed," Fen agreed.
"By the way, didn't you say that you made a scepter? Do you know where it fell? "
"I made a trap and blew it up very heroically, crippling an old god in the process. That was the most beautiful firework I've ever seen, accompanied by the flesh and blood of a god. Besides, even if it didn't blow up, what kind of reference value can a broken object have? "
"That's not what you said. If there is an object that can be tested, it can prove whether our guess is right or wrong, "Lin said regretfully.
"Indeed. I didn't think about that part. "Fen thought of the substitute and asked," Then what about the sword used by the hero? As I said, that was also a weapon made by sacrificing. Maybe it has a lot of reference value. "
"The holy sword Aix-kalibar? That sword was lost a long time ago. Even if it's still there, it's probably a treasure of some country. How can they just lend it to us for analysis? "
"You don't want to lend it? I don't think there's anything that we can't borrow if we want it. "
"Hey, hey, that's a dangerous sentence. I don't do that kind of thing that only thieves do. "
"It's not stealing! It's a necessary action in the process of learning. "
"That's a play on words. It's meaningless. Besides, we don't know where it is. We can't steal or borrow it, can we? "
"Do you think it's possible that it's buried with the hero? Maybe we can dig up the grave. I can resurrect him, say hello, kill him, and bury him. "
"Are you sure that you're not doing this for personal grudges, but purely for research?"
