This is very similar to the classic hypnotic magic on Earth, which tells the hypnotized person that a pencil is a red-hot iron. When the pencil is placed on the hypnotized person's skin, burn marks will appear, as if it was really hypnotized. Burned by red-hot iron. But in the Lost Lands, this kind of magic that changes cognition far exceeds what hypnosis on Earth can do.
An example other than the Light Object Technique is the magic on the four legs of the two big dogs that died in Wulian City, Gray Hooves and White Nose, that were tattooed on them - the magic of walking on flat ground. That magic does not change the direction of gravity of the entire world, but changes itself.
When you perform the "Walk on Flat Earth" technique and then stand on a wall or upside down on a ceiling, you will feel the same as standing on ordinary flat ground without any discomfort. Even the clothes, hair, and gravity direction of the body follow the caster.
But if there are other people clinging to them, their gravity direction will still be the original state. At this time, it is possible to fall in the original direction of gravity. He recalled his experience of falling from a height of three stories while climbing a wall while riding on Gray Hooves. Think about what it feels like to be riding a roller coaster, but halfway through the ride it turns into a high-altitude bouncing without a safety rope.
Fen, on the other hand, explains something deeper than this 'phenomenon'. Said: "You just said that with the help of the Dream Magic Tower, you can see what those high-dimensional worlds look like after dimensionality reduction. Have you ever thought about it, in fact, it is not just 'seeing', but from you There has been a change in my understanding.”
"You mean, this is like the magic that changes cognition, it changed mine. But that is magic, I am..." Thinking of the way in which my dimensionality reduction mathematical method was established, Someone had no choice but to admit: "This can be regarded as magic."
"You used magic to change your own cognition, so you can see the projection of the high-dimensional world after dimensionality reduction. But that is not that world after all, and the place you stay is not the real world. It can be said that you exist in two places at the same time. It’s a world, but it’s not between the worlds in the traditional sense. So you see, the place you go to is a brand new world that no one has ever seen.”
Lin was somewhat proud of the fact that he had done such an unprecedented feat in the mouth of this lich. However, when the conversation changed, Fen said: "But this is of no use at all."
"ah?"
"You can see that you can enter that world because the phenomenon of high-dimensional interference has occurred. Can you enter on your own initiative? Even if you enter, what can you do? If you just use that convenience to avoid attacks from that world , is there no other alternative method? And the last question, let’s not talk about combat effectiveness, will getting such an ability help your survival? Also, your method is not omnipotent, it may be a matter of duration. It may be a problem with the object of observation. You still have a limit. Otherwise, your facial features would not be bleeding at the end, and you would not have a headache like a grandson today, right?"
After asking several questions in a row, someone's mood is like falling from heaven to hell. Indeed, when such an ability is developed, it does feel cool and cool, but it is of no use...
Oops, headache!
Even though it was late summer, Lin still felt cold all over his body. Not interested in continuing the conversation, he found a blanket, wrapped himself in it and fell asleep directly.
The two girls who had filled all the water bags came back together at this time. Seeing his teacher wrapped in a blanket and curled up lying beside him gave people a feeling of loneliness.
Halumi asked worriedly: "What's wrong, teacher? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
Kaya, on the other hand, squatted aside in a daze, stretching out her fingers to poke someone in the blanket.
For a guy with a weak heart, Fen felt angry and amused. Facing the girl's question, she suppressed a smile and said, "I think he will be uncomfortable for a long time. Don't worry, it's not life-threatening anyway."
"oh."
The next period of time was spent in the wilderness. After all, the Basque Country is still a relatively desolate place in the entire Lost Continent, with sparsely populated areas, so it is impossible to find a gathering place for Homo sapiens to stay on the road.
The two girls, who had slept hard all day, regained their energy and took over the daily chores again. Because the carriage used four horses quite boldly, with only one more horse and a mule as backup, the girls no longer rode the horses around. Halumi sat in the driving seat, freed their sister, and returned to the caravan.
Kaya put most of her energy into sorting out the pile of map information. Lin originally wanted to help and change his mood, but he surrendered within a few moments. Because that is a jigsaw puzzle that is countless times more difficult than putting together the puzzle pieces on Earth before time travel.
The puzzle pieces of the earth, after all, have original patterns as reminders, and the joints of most puzzle pieces also have tight fitting patterns. But to connect countless large and small maps with different scales and different accuracy, which may overlap each other, and more likely one of them is included in other map information, and there is no regularity at all, into a world map, then It's simply inhuman work.
Especially when the box of original maps was delivered, it was not sorted into categories. It is not clear which region they belong to, or even which direction they belong to in the Midi Continent. They are completely mixed together. You have to rely on the brief text description on the map to identify and classify. This also resulted in a lot of maps, and I didn’t know which area or part they belonged to, so I had to put them aside temporarily.
But a certain scumbag guy didn't completely pretend to be dead. Lin still helped Kaya design a set of tools to fuzzy compare the route information on the map, and create keyword correlations based on the text on the map. At least some potentially relevant map information can be classified together in the early stage of screening.
After that, we can only manually screen the map and fill in every gap on the world map as accurately as possible.
So during this period of time, in addition to the tall beauty Fen, there was also a dark-haired and brown-skinned girl sitting next to the coffin.
A person who is in a state of failure has had his confidence almost completely lost. But in line with the principle that once your head is shaved, it can only be washed off. Lin still supplemented the dimensionality reduction methods described on the second floor of the Dream Magic Tower with several mathematical principles that he was familiar with and were different methods. And make automatic adjustment parameters, as well as transformation methods and compare the results.
The most important thing is what Fen has questioned, the limits of his own existence.
What to do if the computer instruction cycle is too slow? There are no more than two methods, upgrading hardware and optimizing software. Considering that he does not want to be reincarnated, someone can only make a series of improvements to the program carved on the dream magic tower. After all, it was done in a hurry before, and the program code cannot be called concise and clean. A bunch of unnecessary variables, a bunch of unknown loops, all of which need to be adjusted.
In addition to putting a good finishing touch on the second floor of the Dream Magic Tower, Fen's previous criticism is also a guide in the direction.
It explains that the ability that I have built now, and what I can do, will really help improve my strength. Instead of being reduced to the dragon-slaying skills mentioned in Zhuangzi's book, List of Imperial Bandits.
To use a more utilitarian statement, it is to combine theoretical science with applied science and find ways to obtain practical benefits from it.
Such a request is not excessive to be honest, and it is in line with the consistent principles of the magicians in the land. If you don't increase your strength, you may die at any time in this precarious world.
We are not afraid of nuclear bombs, but we are most afraid of nuclear bombs being fired in succession. If you are so strong that you can use nuclear bombs to wash other people's faces anytime and anywhere, then you can walk sideways in any world.
Just...how can this dimensionality reduction method be used? Someone is scratching their head.
Therefore, during this period of time, the place where Lin sat most often was at the entrance of the caravan, leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery along the road and the different world in his eyes.
Is there a higher-dimensional world, or is interference from higher dimensions rare? Not at all, although not to the point of flooding.
What I saw the most along the way was the existence of various 'spirits'. In earthly terms, it is like a 'ghost'.
But in the magic side of the world, ghosts exist as a kind of undead. So how can they be different from animal spirits or intelligence that cannot be seen in these normal three-dimensional worlds and can only be seen from their own special perspective? Are human race spirits involved?
Regarding such a question, of course, you should first ask the well-informed lich. Especially the undead clan belongs to her family.
Most of the causes of the undead, except those that transform autonomously like lichs, are after death, because an idea keeps their souls from returning to the underworld or dissipating, supporting the activities of the body that has lost signs of life. Call them the undead. The characteristic is that the body will not grow except for corruption, and has no needs for eating, excretion, etc., and of course it cannot mate or carry on the family line.
One of the more special ones is the ghost without body. Without the restraints of the body, ghosts are quite fragile, but at the same time quite elusive. There is a huge gap between strong and weak. There are even some ghosts that are so weak that they can be dispersed by the wind, and it is very difficult for them to maintain their own bodies.
But according to Fen, the authority of the undead tribe, a lich who is at the forefront of the world in wisdom and knowledge, spirits cannot be regarded as ghosts, and there is even no connection between the two. The appearance that Lin saw that resembled that of Homo sapiens or animals was actually just an instinctive imitation.
It may also be a suspected image obtained by oneself through dimensionality reduction method. That is to say, they are not like that, but if I think they are like that, they will become that way. It's a bit convoluted, but it's the most accurate statement.
