The people who had returned to the Main Plane were secretive about what had happened after the group of people had left in a hurry.
The Warlock Saint Mahetab was led by Fen. After a secret discussion that was not known to outsiders, one of the most powerful people in the Holy City chose to stand firmly behind the two Mages. In addition to Fen, who already had the title of Great Mage in the Feist District, the Warlock Saint also changed his position and supported Gabrach Tripwood to obtain the title of Great Mage.
In the position of conferring titles, except for the Tower Master of the First Tower, who occasionally expressed his opinion because he was also the president of the Feist District branch, the other five Tower Masters of the Holy City's Core Towers would not express any opinions to highlight their superior positions. But today, Mahetab's behavior had once again broken the norm, which also caused her to be questioned a lot. Then … there was no then.
Those who could sit in that position, regardless of gender, were all strong-willed people. Unless the matter itself was vague and would change according to different standpoints, it had nothing to do with these big shots. Of course, they knew how to play it safe and stand in a superior position. But as long as they had decided on something, their stubbornness could not be changed even by ten dragons.
Coercion by force? Who was tired of living and would use force to coerce a Warlock Saint who lived in a five-story Magic Tower? The other Tower Masters did not dare to be so arrogant.
But in the end, it was just an opinion. The Warlock Saint Mahetab did not have the right to decide. Therefore, the commotion this time ended very quickly and was soon forgotten. Just like the gossip on Earth, it was difficult to be popular for more than three days. After that, no one cared.
The chaos of the outside world, as usual, did not affect a certain Mage who had transmigrated and the people he regarded as family. Their lives did not change much except that there was one more living person.
On the contrary, this new member caused a lot of trouble in the first few days. He fainted from hunger, dehydration from thirst, drowsiness at night, and even peed and pooped in his pants. All kinds of strange situations emerged one after another. Although there were two girls helping to clean up the mess, Shi Dong did not seem to have any sense of shame.
In the end, Fen could not stand it anymore and came out to teach her subordinate a lesson. "Your body is different from before. It needs to eat, drink, rest, and even excrete. You have to learn and get used to it. Moreover, in terms of efficiency, it was much easier to deal with things before you reached your limit than to clean up after the fact. Don't let me see such a thing a second time. "
"Yes, master."
A certain Lich only had to say a few words to fix a guy who couldn't be taught by anyone. Marco Lin had seen Fen's evaluation of this guy as stubborn and inflexible. However, this also made someone puzzled. He asked, "Could it be that Shi Dong doesn't even have any memories of his past as a human? As long as you were once a human, it's impossible for you not to have any impression of these trivial matters in life. "
"Who told you he was a human?" a certain Lich, who was eating dessert, mumbled as she chewed on her spoon.
Lin exclaimed, "He's not human? Then what is he? "
"Hmm, I can roughly guess that you have some misconceptions about undead creatures. Therefore, I will be merciful and help you popularize it. — — "
Although she said that, Fen was still careless. She slowly ate the dessert carefully made by Hallumi — red bean glutinous rice balls. Eating this in this kind of winter was really heartwarming. As she spoke,
"— — Undead creatures, as the name suggests, are things that revive from dead things and regain most of their biological characteristics. They retain some of their habits from when they were alive, but they also have things that are different from when they were alive. To be more precise, all creatures have two parts, the soul and the body, that is, the soul and the body. Only when you have these two parts at the same time can you be considered complete. When you lose either part, it can be called death. — — "
Although she was eating dessert, Fen imitated a certain someone and used a whiteboard to draw some diagrams in the air. She even made some simple annotations. In short, she used pictures and text to explain.
"— — Most forms of death are that the soul dissipates first, the body slowly decays, and then the soul and body completely disappear from this world. If there is an accident where the body has been destroyed, but the soul has not dissipated, the soul will be called a ghost. This is a large type of undead creature. It is more difficult to create this type of undead by human means. Most of them are born naturally by chance, and then necromancers use various methods to restrain, enslave, or protect them. — — "
Fen displayed the different types of ghosts in her memory, from the weak to the strong. They all have a common characteristic, which is that their faces are filled with deep hatred.
"— — The other type is that the soul has already dissipated, and the body left behind is used by necromancers to revive into ghouls. Or choose the parts that are still intact and sew them together before casting a spell to revive them. This type is called the Sewn Corpse. The most common type is the bones that are the hardest to rot to be revived, and that is the Skeleton Soldier. — — "
Fen showed three types of basic undead forms.
"— — These types of undead creatures have one thing in common, which is that they only have instincts and no intelligence, because there is no so-called soul in their bodies, only an empty shell. Ghouls are driven by their instincts of hunger, and devour all flesh and blood in sight. The stitched corpses and skeleton soldiers are just puppets. Their bodies may still remember how to move, but they won't move unless they are given an order. "
"Then, what's the deal with the intelligent undead? Do they have souls? If they have souls and bodies, why are they classified as undead creatures? "Lin asked.
"This is a good starting point. — — "Fen praised," — — Intelligent undead creatures must have experienced death once. Sometimes, it was a ghost that was full of obsession that found its own physical body and took control of a new body. The representative of this type of undead creature is the Lich. But for the Lich, death is something that is deliberately pursued. Sometimes, ghosts find an empty body, or ghouls, sewn corpses, or skeleton soldiers with strong enough bodies are stuffed with souls, and these undead creatures have the same intelligence as the souls. And intelligent undead creatures are usually classified as advanced undead. "
Fen showed many diagrams of the undead creatures. But these creatures not only looked strong, they also looked like humans in appearance. They knew how to use equipment, items, and disguise themselves. But Fen placed a creature that looked like a vampire at the very edge of the diagram, clearly separated from the rest of the undead creatures. At the same time, he said:
"By the way, strictly speaking, vampires are not considered undead creatures. It is just that they are afraid of sunlight, like most undead creatures, especially ghosts. Plus, they belong to the chaotic and evil faction, so vampires are often classified as undead. But vampires can be seen as evil creatures, but they should not be classified as undead creatures. "
Fen put a big cross on the image of the vampire in disdain and threw it out.
However, Lin was puzzled as he muttered, "Are there only these few types?"
"Of course not, there is also a very special type of advanced undead. Those are low-level undead creatures that only rely on their instincts or instructions to act without intelligence. When they experience enough battles and grow strong enough, their accumulated experience will form an instinct that can be called intelligence. In other words, undead creatures can learn, but the learning cycle is longer than that of Homo sapiens. But don't expect these undead to be very smart. They are just slightly more independent than their unintelligent counterparts. Basically, you can still treat them as idiots. "
Fen's eyes never left Shi Dong when he said these words. The meaning of his words was quite obvious.
"So, these undead creatures don't have the experience of being human, so they don't know how to eat, drink, and poop?" Lin asked casually.
"That is not necessarily the case. The characteristic of these undead is that they know how to learn. If they deliberately learn and imitate the actions of humans, even if they don't understand those things, they can imitate similar actions. But there are also stupid undead creatures that don't care about those things and still live like they used to. "
A certain Lich's sharp words were directed at a certain guy who had just received a new body. It was unknown whether Shi Dong really didn't understand or didn't care. In any case, this guy just stood there quietly with an expressionless face.
If Shi Dong was just a stitched up corpse like before, Fen wouldn't have thought much of it. But this guy was now considered a living person, and yet he still had such an attitude. As his master, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.
"Stone!" Fen suddenly shouted.
Being called this familiar name again, Shi Dong just tilted his head and looked at his master, just like a thousand years ago. He didn't do anything else.
Fen called him because she remembered something very important and had to remind him. "You are now different from before. There are no parts of your body that can be replaced, just this one. If you lose a lot of blood, it will cause your body's functions to decline, or even die. No matter what kind of injury it is, it won't be easy to heal. So, the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself. If you have the strength to spare, then protect others, understand? "
"Protect? Others? " In Shi Dong's memory, this emperor's orders had always been to destroy or kill someone. This was the first time he heard the word "protect".
How could Fen not notice the doubt in her old subordinate's voice? She said bluntly, "In this era, I don't have anyone I must take revenge on, so I don't need you to kill outside. I'm just used to interacting with the people here. If anyone is missing, I will feel that it's a pity. So, do your best, Stone. "
"Yes, my Lord." Shi Dong bowed and answered.
"Okay, I'm done." After speaking, Fen, who had finished eating the red bean glutinous rice balls, sat back on the sofa. She bent her long white legs and placed them by her side, rubbing them while her beautiful eyes glanced at a certain someone. Seeing this, Lin even thought that this sister had that kind of intention at night. She suddenly asked, "I've said so much, it's your turn to say something. Come, tell me, what is a lightsaber? "
"Pfft!" A certain someone spat out a mouthful of coffee. Where did this completely wrong word come from?
