As "Frost Duke" Memphis walked into the tavern, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, without a trace of lifeless silence, like a frozen plain covered by a snowstorm outside, dead and cold, eternally unchanged.
"Thirty years is better than thirty thousand years?" It is likely that the old man, who is a legendary magician in the soul realm, sneered, obviously thinking that the "Lord of Mystery" Memphis was using his demonic characteristics again, deceiving others with exaggerated words that contained some truth, and it was not credible, "In the past ten years, you have rarely stepped out of the 'silent iceberg', which makes me suspect that you have quietly descended to the main material world, why are you coming to my tavern today?"
He was reminding Lucian that the "Lord of Mystery" was likely plotting some big conspiracy involving the Lord's material world in the past ten years, so don't be deceived by him.
Memphis laughed, then walked to the front of the bar, sat down next to Lucian, reached out and ingested a bottle of "Flame Wine" and a bottle of "Water Soul Wine", and began to mix it with the mixed flavor it liked: "Are my words exaggerated, just ask Evans, and even his own existence is the strongest evidence."
It looks like it's cooked.
Three legends, one is bartending behind the bar, two are sitting on high chairs in front of the bar, and the bar is filled with fine wine, wine glasses and dim candlelight, which looks no different from the scene of an ordinary tavern, who would have thought that these are the three legends?
"Huh?" The old man heard Memphis repeat and began to face up to his words, "In the first 30,000 years of the ancient magic empire, legendary magic came out one after another, with a complete faction division, a preliminary magic system, basic mathematical and astrological knowledge, various alchemy attempts, and the synthesis of bloodlines, can these be done in thirty years?"
Born in the last glorious stage of the ancient magic empire, he is like an old nobleman, reluctant to forget the glory of the past, so although he pays more attention to the development of the magic council and arcane, he did not join in, and similarly, he could not accept that the ancient magic empire only completed in the first 30,000 years, and the "arcane" only took thirty years.
"Duke Frost" glanced at Lucian, who was quietly listening, as if it had nothing to do with him, and chuckled: "In the past thirty years, in the grand scheme of things, I have gained insight into the mystery of gravity and found the ...... of the sun."
It is not an arcanist, of course the words will not be rigorous, if it were Lucian, it would definitely only say that there is preliminary research and gain on the nature of gravity.
"What, found the sun?" The old man wiped the dry fur of the wine glass and fell off, interrupting Memphis to speak, his eyes looking at it and Lucian in shock.
The position of the sun, the existence of the sun, is a difficult problem that has plagued the empire for tens of thousands of years, no magician does not want to crack this secret, and he is no exception, but even geniuses such as the "Sun King" His Excellency Thanos, who is good at astrological predictions such as Mr. Maskelin, are so powerful that they are close to gods such as the "Star Mentor" - the first legendary peak of the Magic Empire, they have to bow their noble heads in front of this problem and admit that they are still far from the essence of the world.
And now, the sun has been discovered?
"Frost Duke" didn't mention his intention at all, it seemed to be specifically to appreciate the old man's shock, and he pointed at Lucian with a smile and said, "Of course, this is the discoverer, the creator of the relativity system."
"The sun you found? Relativity system?" The old man asked urgently, what is the relativistic system? When I left the main material world, the Magic Council probably didn't have a "noun" for this, but after thirty years of "short" time, this world became so strange?
Lucian did not answer directly, but said with the rigor of an arcanist: "Strictly speaking, the main reason for discovering the sun is not the relativistic system, it is only one of the secondary factors."
I know little about arcane, don't lie to me...... The old man said this sentence spontaneously in his heart, and quickly took out a crystal ball that he didn't know how much dust was stained and began to perform divination.
Since it was in the "Silent Hell", the effect of divination was very limited, but at this time, the "Frost Duke" knocked on the table and let go of the suppression of the plane, so the old man came to the conclusion: "I really found the sun...... What is wrong with this world......"
The sun has a special place in the galaxy and is also a special symbol in the soul realm.
"I don't know what's going on in this world, but a legendary peak has entered the 'Silent Hell', I should always come over and take a look, lest one day the 'Silent Iceberg' be besieged and don't know what's going on." The "Lord of Mystery" said with a gentle smile, not as if he was here to check the situation, but as if he had come to complete a business deal with Lucian.
"The peak of legends?" The old man glared at Lucian again, although he couldn't know all the high-level magicians and archmages of the council, but the members of the Supreme Council still knew, thirty years ago, this young man definitely didn't enter the legendary realm, and in just thirty years, he became a legend and broke through to the top? Even more exaggerated than Brooke!
"As far as I know, Evans only learned magic for fifteen or sixteen years, uh, that was the year my predecessor completely fell, and he officially became a magician." "Frost Duke" deliberately added, and then smiled in the old man's shocked expression, "Now is not an ancient magic empire, after living in seclusion for dozens or hundreds of years, you can still become a big man who can turn the tide of the situation, at present, if anyone lives in seclusion and doesn't care about the development of arcane, then maybe ten or twenty years, he will be completely outdated and unable to keep up with the times, not only will he not be able to become the mastermind or key force behind the scenes, but he will also be crushed by the wheel of the times."
He seemed to be laughing at the old man's confusion when he found that the world had changed drastically after living in seclusion for thirty years.
"Fifteen or sixteen years...... The old man can no longer express his feelings in words, what can he do in fifteen or sixteen years? Since he learned magic by himself, he has been a five-ring mage for fifteen or sixteen years.
After he used the crystal ball to confirm the information that Lucian had not concealed, he let out a long sigh: "Your existence alone can indeed show how terrifying the rapid development of arcane has been in recent decades."
After sighing, his eyes suddenly became hot, staring at Lucian: "You just said that the Magic Council is only close to making breakthrough progress in soul research?"
"Theoretically, that's the case." Lucian didn't understand why the "Ice and Snow Duke" wanted to help himself gain the trust of the old man, so he was a little cautious, "Old sir, I don't know what your opinion on the essence of the soul is? For example, a soul has no past memories and can never be recovered, and there is no way of thinking and character that was developed before, and even the fluctuations of mental power and breath have changed, so can we say that this soul is the same as the soul in the past?"
"This ......" The old man pondered, it was not that he hadn't thought about this question, the lady next to him was a vivid but not extreme example - his special marking method kept the fluctuations of the soul unchanged.
But this question, which is both a philosophy and a difficult question in the soul realm, is obviously difficult to answer, and the old man said after a long time: "I don't think so, the five main characteristics of the soul have changed, which is equivalent to a new soul."
"Then if we instill memories of the past in this soul, cultivate its previous way of thinking and character, and use spells to permanently change its spiritual power fluctuations and breath, then will it change back to its original soul? Is the soul innate, higher than society, or social, and can it be artificially 'nurtured'?" Lucian asked sharply, "And in another situation, a separate soul merges with this soul, inheriting its memory, thinking, personality, fluctuating frequency, and breath, but retains the original memory, so is it the same as the current soul?"
"For example, if the Duke of Memphis occupies your wife's soul and simulates her memories and other characteristics, is it equivalent to your wife? What is the most basic characteristic of the soul, or the most essential thing?"
The old man looked at the "Madam" next to him, his face was gloomy, and it was difficult to answer, while the "Ice and Snow Duke" next to him deliberately "livened" the atmosphere: "In fact, for me, the most basic feature of the soul is the devil core."
"I don't know Mr. Evans, what do you think about this issue?" The old man looked at Lucian earnestly and expectantly.
Lucian thought for a moment and said, "I once went to the Necromancer and saw the Soul Hearth."
"Necromancer? Soul hearth?" The old man felt more and more that he had been abandoned by the times.
Lucian gave a general introduction to the necromancer and the soul hearth, and then did not talk about his core research, but said abstractly: "I think the soul should have a higher level, more essential characteristic, which is closely related to the 'soul hearth'.
The old man looked at the "Flame Wine" in front of him in silence, and after a while he said: "I have some research on souls of my own, and I hope to exchange each other's views with you."
As expected of a legendary magician, he immediately understood what I was saying, Lucian smiled with satisfaction, and made a fair and just exchange of his current knowledge about souls (not including the part that implicates other arcane knowledge and a certain model, because it still needs to be verified this time).
The soul information provided by the old man was very detailed, including his various studies on souls and two soul-type legendary spells, some of which were very cruel experiments that Lucian was unwilling to complete, and was looking for other ways to verify them, and now he got the information from here, and the old man also provided his information about the ancient ruins in the depths of hell, so that Lucian was more confident.
The old man also looked at the information provided by Lucian contemplatively, constantly rubbing his forehead, as if this had subverted some of his past cognition, and said to himself: "...... In this way, the effects of the resurrection, the Lich Life Box, the Sword of Truth, etc., can all be explained in a self-consistent way......"
Next to him, the expression of the "Frost Duke" who had been smiling became serious, looking at Lucian and saying, "I am here today to ask Evans for your help, and I will provide you with more detailed information about the ancient hell."
Lucian clasped his hands and didn't answer immediately, was this his attitude, or the attitude of the "Lord of Hell"?
