Yaleriga couldn't find much useful content from the information about Prenci. She began to change her mind and tried to start from the perspective of the "Magic Eye". There is much more information about this word than just one legendary cat hero. There are countless stories about the magic eye in her head, and the encyclopedia also has a list of more than 400 pages of academic research documents, more than 90% of which come from the White Tower mage.
Mages have always been obsessed with the Eye. This is of course related to the wonderful talents often shown by the ancient laws, but it is also related to the White Tower's own theoretical path - the "visual device" is a natural magic device. How living things perceive changes in light and transform them into pictures. This subtle, changeable yet universal structure gives great inspiration to seekers. They believe that since some "scopes" can capture light or sound waveforms, more special structures will enable them to capture more elements. "Future Eye" and "clairvoyance" capture the ether. What kind of materials can reflect the ether? What structure can translate and interpret it? That is the basic theory called "modern clairvoyance" and "spiritual diagram structure" by the mages.
These two subjects are no stranger to Yaleriga. She even knows how to grind a rough and simple ether lens to observe stronger ether phenomena. But for exploring the secret of the magic eye, these two subjects are just the beginning.
Contradictions and problems always arise in the process of contact with ancient laws. When the mages conquered the magical eye, they quickly realized that it only accounted for a small part of the legend about the "magic eye". Eyes that can see ghosts, gods, or destiny (they reserve the last one) are not even considered dangerous by many evil eyes. Some eyes - more broadly and technically speaking, sights - can cause people to fall asleep, go crazy, forget the past, fall in love with their owner, or turn into a stone statue after looking at them. These are the eyes that appear in mainstream stories that the public loves, but mages actually discover more.
It's hard to come up with any general explanation for them, ranging from the most harmful, the Death Eye (which dissolves or petrifies), to the almost harmless, baffling Eye (which forces the creature looking at it to become incontinent, dance, perform A specific expression, or simply farting). Mages believe that the eyes are no longer just visual instruments. They themselves release fixed-shaped etheric kink, allowing the receiving object to react accordingly.
Many imitative spells were born as a result. Through some friendly pure observation, and in some cases the regrettable but necessary study of dissection and dissection, mages have learned many specific kink forms. They incorporated these structures into the existing material science framework to create a variety of magical props similar to the magic eye, most of which relied on the form of fire, water or light. The "Warm Candle" can cause the most beautiful hallucinations in those who watch it (but it consumes a lot of life force), while the "Fear Candle" makes every witness scream in terror.
That is the external viewing device called the "Magic Eye of True Seeing" by the mage. There are still many unknowns about their principles, but the mages believe that they will eventually overcome this challenge, especially after they successfully rely on generalized material science to independently characterize more convenient and reliable functions. The mainstream schools agree that they are truly Sooner or later, the exploration of the Demon Eye will be more successful than the Ancient Law.
But there is a "real problem," or as the new view suggests, those "oldest problems." There is a kind of evil eye that mages have known about since the Age of Chaos before the Camarilla was established, and are also deeply feared. In the hometown of mages (acclaimed by the Camarilla official), the ancient and mysterious Toriel Celestial Wall system, mages once suffered many invasions from other worlds. In those catastrophic attacks, the magic eyes of some strange beings almost left the mage helpless - they did not require eye contact, or any conscious response from other beings. Wherever it sees, the pure ether will turn into a rioting current, tearing apart the land and the ocean; the noticed life forms will immediately change, grow claws or become walking corpses; space and time will be distorted and deformed.
Nowadays, mages can often only find these records in ancient documents. Due to the anti-infinity nature of the cosmic censorship phenomenon and the strict monitoring of all historical changes by the Level 4 wishing machine in Central City, it seems difficult for the magic eye object capable of intervening in time and space to reappear in the world. The mages can safely examine this almost unrestricted "simulacra eye" - naturally, not the one that affects time and space or the gravity of the galaxy, but a relatively safer type. The mages have been vague about this, refusing to reveal what kind of eyes they have studied.
The answer they finally provided to the public was also very unsatisfactory: it was no longer a "visual device". The mages claimed that the "visual eye" functioned based on an as-yet-unidentified sense. The incomplete organs present in the ancient law are similar to vision or hearing instruments, used to reveal the shape of the moon - it sounds easy to be confused with basic clairvoyance, but in fact it is completely different. Because when the ether phenomenon penetrates deep into the moon realm, its effects will be infinitely equivalent to the description of a successful wishing machine. This means that the "pseudo-eye" must be transformed and mass-produced. Even if it is not hopeless in theory, at least it is completely uneconomical in terms of cost.
This organ is temporarily presumed to be formed in a twisted form, so its structure cannot be confirmed by any anatomy. It is also attached to the hearing and sight organs of the creature itself. This attachment in turn affects the original functions of the hearing and vision devices. Therefore, when the "Magic Eye" is in operation, the acquisition of other external information will become difficult and distorted. Under this assumption, creatures using "simulacra eyes" are always intermittently blind or tinnitus, unable to effectively communicate with the outside world, and it is difficult to imagine that they have discernible logic, usually called A "rational" way of thinking. In short, the simulacra is inevitably linked to madness - the classical school has always defined it this way, but now with the rise of anti-dualist perspectives, it is inevitably introduced into the most traditional magical theoretical fields. Some people have begun to question whether the word "crazy" is really appropriate. Assuming that everything is just a deviation caused by perspective and vision-then how can we say that the changers of the phenomenon are more wrong than the followers?
When Yaleriga saw this, Qiaoqiao Tianyi had already fallen asleep. She used her wings as a cushion and quilt while blowing the hair on her shoulders. Yaleriga did not intend to force her, because even though the Kingdom of Horses had many advanced technologies, the horned ones among them were still classified as a type of ancient law. They believe that their power is present in the horns and that its source comes from the heart. The combination of virtue and talent forms the harmony of harmony, helping them to defeat the most ancient and terrible chaos.
The simulacrum was not the trouble they encountered, Yaleriga thought. When the killer with the funny name confronted her, he had to use the bullets on his claws and the lenses on his leather armor to force her to look at him. Although its methods are difficult to deal with, if Yaleriga doesn't look at it, the magic pupil will not be able to pull her into that strange cosmic illusion. If we look at this according to the classification of the White Tower, those topaz-like eyes belong to the so-called "true seeing eyes".
She and her memory bank had run into trouble like this more than once. Whether it's psychic vision, true vision, or even the most difficult and obsessed of mages to conquer, simulacrum, it would be rash to assess their respective dangers according to such classifications. Nowadays, mages use true vision so frequently. Maybe they will use this trick every time they negotiate with buyers: a little hypnosis, increasing goodwill and devotion, reducing intelligence and price sensitivity, and temporary numerical cognition. disorders and operational dementia. These unfair business practices are so widespread that the regulatory authorities cannot completely eliminate them. They have no choice but to sell fully tax-deductible anti-control glasses to mainstream material suppliers, or advise them to use original letters to communicate with the Master - the latter is In order to try to prevent the Cyberwalkers from the four sects from tampering with any form of data on automated contracts and orders, some mages joked that the entire sect relied on this for a living.
She couldn't find anything related to the Catman Killer or the Cosmic Eye in the review. Although the encyclopedia lists a variety of evil eyes, some of them are similar to the visions she experienced: some victims lost physical consciousness and walked through a tunnel ten thousand times more intense than the light of a star; He fell into a horrific purgatory full of flames and knives, and retained all his wounds when he was awake; he was taken to the endless void by a comet shining with green light.
Yaleriga's attention stayed on the last record. It was still different from the encounter in her memory, but at least there were many elements in common. She started looking through the index for more information.
There is only one record, just like countless other ancient convention phenomena. A ectoplasmist discovers a wonderland while exploring the frontier, a kingdom that is completely disconnected from the outside universe. There, the houses have long wooden legs that are as long and narrow as birds, jumping and moving among the metal jungle with purple and black luster. The owners of the house are all shamans who never age, immersed in secretive and silent meditation all day long.
The most powerful one among them is said to have a lifespan as long as that of the metal jungle, but his appearance is as childish as a child. She entertained the ectoplasmologist kindly and showed him the great power of witches across life and death: the dead can be recalled immediately to feast and have fun with them; the living can also be killed at any time, as long as they are killed by her Take a gentle look. The magical secret art attracted the ectoplasmist, and he even wanted to invite witches to join the White Tower. However, the Witch King laughed at him mercilessly.
Regarding the origin of power, the Witch King said that it only lies in the two poles of chaos, the first origin and the final end. Everything is a tributary from the same source, and everything is a fallen leaf that belongs to the same land. The ectoplasmists, and all their kind, are obsessed with the construction of geometry, language, and concepts, which are but the waves stirred up in the pursuit of the turbulence of the stream, a weak and boring change of form.
Debate - The Witch-King repeated the word, seemingly not understanding it. The ectoplasmist explained to her how that was done. Under a set of mutually acquiesced rules, how to prove that your views are correct or that there is room for improvement. The Witch King laughed.
We have our own debate. she says. Then she opened her eyes to the ectoplasmist.
That was the ectoplasmist's last memory in the Witch Kingdom. He described how he saw eyes that burned with green light, was sucked into the unfathomable void within them, and was carried away by a fast-moving green comet into unknown realms beyond the comprehension of the mind. Even though he has always provided himself with protection against mental spells. When he woke up, he found that he was already in Mencheng and had been sleeping for half a year. And since then, he has never found the original path to the Witch Man Country. The Witch-King who drove him - whom he later called the Comet Witch - was never mentioned in the second sighting report.
This is all the information Yaleriga saw in the encyclopedia content she had downloaded. She wanted to find out if there was any other content on the Star Network, perhaps less reliable gossip, but they were trapped in a prison without Internet, and all they could do was wait. Just as she was thinking this and clicking on the search engine, she found that she had received more than a dozen of the latest Star Network messages.
