The people who returned to the main plane were very secretive about what happened after a group of people left in a flash.
Dharma Saint Mahtab Chuyufen came forward in person. After a secret conversation unknown to outsiders, one of the most powerful people in the Holy City chose to stand firmly behind the two magicians. In addition to Fen already possessing the title of Grand Magician of the First District, the Master of Magic also changed his position and became a supporter of Guybrash Tripwood's acquisition of the title of Grand Magician.
In terms of granting titles, except for the tower owner of Tower I who occasionally expresses his opinions because he is the president of the First District Chapter, the tower owners of the other five core towers of the Holy City will not express any opinions. , to highlight its transcendent status. But today, Mahatab once again broke the rules, which also caused her to attract a lot of doubts, and then...nothing.
Anyone who can sit in that position, whether male or female, is a determined person. Unless there is some ambiguity in the matter itself, it will change due to different positions, and it has no stake in these big guys. Of course they know how to protect themselves wisely and maintain a transcendent status. But as long as it is something they have decided on, their stubbornness is beyond the reach of ten dragons.
Forced coercion? Who is so impatient that they would use force to coerce the Dharma Saint who lives in a five-story magic tower? Other tower owners did not dare to be so arrogant.
But after all, it is just an opinion, and Dharma Saint Mahtab has not yet made the decision. So this incident ended quickly and was forgotten. Just like the earth's gossip, it rarely lasts more than three days, and no one cares about it after that.
The disturbances from the outside world, as always, have no effect on a time-traveling magician and the people he regards as family. Their lives have not changed much except that they have one more living person.
On the contrary, this new member made a lot of jokes in the first few days. Starving, being thirsty to the point of dehydration, being drowsy at night, even peeing or having diarrhea in your pants are all kinds of strange situations that arise one after another. Although two girls helped to deal with the aftermath, Stone remained the same as if he had no shame.
In the end, Fen couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to teach his subordinates a lesson. "Your body is different now. It needs food, water, rest, and even excretion. You have to learn it yourself and get used to it. And in terms of efficiency, you have to do things before you face the limit. It's much easier to handle it well than to clean it up afterwards. Don't let me see this kind of thing a second time."
"Yes Master."
No one can teach this guy, but a certain lich can do it with just a few words. Fen used to evaluate this guy as stubborn and stubborn, but Lin Ke has seen it now. However, this also made someone have doubts and asked: "Does Stone not even have any memory of the past when he was a human being? It is impossible for these trivial things in life to have no impression at all as long as he has been a human being. Bar."
"Who told you that he was once a human being?" A certain lich who was eating dessert said vaguely while biting the spoon.
Lin was surprised and said: "He is not a human being? Then what is he?"
"Well, I can probably guess what misunderstanding you have about undead creatures. So I am compassionate and help you learn more about it.——"
Even so, Fen still casually ate the red bean glutinous rice balls, a dessert carefully made by Halloumi, one spoon at a time. Eating this thing in this winter is really heart-warming. While talking,
"——Undead creatures, as the name suggests, they are things that resurrect from the dead and regain most of their biological characteristics. They retain some of their habits in life, but they are also different from those in life. To be more precise, all creatures have spirits. The two parts of the body, the soul and the body, are complete only if they have both parts at the same time. When either part is lost, it is called death. -"
Although he was eating dessert, Fen still imitated someone and used the whiteboard technique to draw some schematic diagrams in mid-air, even with simple annotations. In short, it is explained with pictures and texts.
"——Most forms of death are that the soul dissipates first, the body slowly decays, and then the spirit and body completely disappear from this world. If someone dies due to an accident, the body has been destroyed, but the soul has not dissipated. In this case, the soul is called a ghost, which is a major category of undead creatures. It is difficult to artificially create this kind of undead. Most of them are naturally born due to chance, and then the necromancer uses various methods to create them. A way to restrain, enslave, or protect them.——"
Fen showed a series of ghost types in her memory, from weak to powerful. They have one thing in common, that is, they all look like they are filled with hatred and bitterness.
"——The other is that the soul has dissipated, and the remaining body is used by the necromancer to resurrect into a ghoul. Or the parts that are still intact are sewn together and then resurrected by casting a spell. This type is called stitching the corpse .The most common type is the bones that are most difficult to decay, and that is skeleton soldiers.——"
Fen shows the three basic types of undead forms,
"——This kind of undead creatures have one thing in common, that is, they only have instincts and no wisdom, because there is no so-called soul in their bodies, just an empty body. Ghouls will be driven by the instinct of hunger and devour All the flesh and blood they see. The stitched corpses and skeleton soldiers are just puppets. Their bodies may still remember the method of action, but they will not move when no instructions are given. "
"So what about the intelligent undead? Do they have souls? Since they have souls and bodies, why are they classified as undead creatures?" Lin asked.
"This question is a good entry point. -" Fen praised, "-intelligent undead creatures, they must have experienced death once. Sometimes it is a ghost full of obsession that retrieves his body and controls it again. Body. The representative creature of this type is the lich. But for the lich, death is deliberately pursued. Sometimes ghosts find free bodies, or those ghouls, stitched corpses, and skeleton soldiers whose bodies are strong enough With souls stuffed into them, these undead creatures have wisdom similar to that soul. Intelligent undead creatures are usually classified as high-level undead."
Fin showed many diagrams of undead creatures. It's just that these creatures not only look more powerful, but also look like humans. They know how to use equipment, props, and dress up. But Fen placed a creature that clearly looked like a vampire at the very edge, clearly distinguishing it from other undead creatures. At the same time he said:
"By the way, strictly speaking, vampires are not undead creatures. However, their fear of sunlight is the same as that of most undead creatures, especially ghosts. In addition, they belong to the chaotic evil camp, so vampires are often compared with the undead. Classified into one category. But in fact, vampires can be regarded as evil creatures, but they should not be classified as undead creatures."
Fen put a big X on the image of the vampire with disgust and threw it away.
Lin was thinking doubtfully and murmured: "Are these the only ones?"
"Of course not. There is also a very special type of high-level undead. Those low-level undead who only rely on instinct or instructions to act without wisdom. When they have experienced enough battles and grown to a strong enough level, they have accumulated The experience will form an instinct that is enough to be called wisdom. In other words, undead creatures can learn, but the learning cycle is longer than that of Homo sapiens. But don’t expect this kind of undead to be very smart, he is just better than those Those without intelligence just show a little more autonomy. Basically, they can still be regarded as fools."
When Fen said these words, his eyes never left Stone, and the meaning was quite obvious.
"So, these kinds of undead have no experience of being human, so they don't understand the daily necessities of life?" Lin asked smoothly.
"That's not necessarily true. The characteristic of these undead is that they know how to learn. If they deliberately learn and imitate human actions, they can imitate similar behaviors even if they don't understand those things. But they will also have the kind of disdain for those actions. , the stupid undead still living like the past.”
The sharp words of a certain lich were pointed at a guy who had just received a new body. I don’t know whether Shi Dong really didn’t understand or didn’t care. Anyway, this guy just stood there quietly with no expression on his face.
If Stone was just a stitched corpse like before, Fen wouldn't think anything of it. But now that this guy is considered a living person, he still has such an attitude, which makes her, the master, so angry that her teeth itch.
"Stone!" Fen suddenly shouted.
When he was called this familiar name again, Shi Dong just tilted his head and looked at the speaker as he had done thousands of years ago. Not much is said.
The reason why Fen called him was because he remembered something very important and needed to be reminded, and said: "You are different now from the past. There are no replaceable parts in your body, just this one. If you lose a lot of blood, your body will be damaged." Function decline, or even death. No matter what kind of injury it is, it is not that easy to repair, so the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself first. If you have enough energy to spare, then protect others, understand?"
"Protect? Others?" In Shi Dong's memory, the order given by His Majesty was always to annihilate or kill anyone. This is the first time I have heard the word 'protect'.
How could Fen not hear the questioning tone of his old subordinates, so he said bluntly: "In this era, I don't have anyone to take revenge on, so there is no need for you to go out to kill. I am just used to getting along with the people here. , if anyone is missing, I will feel it is a pity. So do your best, Stone."
"Yes, my lord." Shi Dong bowed and agreed.
"Okay, I'm done." After finishing speaking, Fen, who also finished her red bean glutinous rice balls, sat back on the sofa. He bent his long white legs to his side and was rubbing them by himself while his beautiful eyes glanced at someone. Lin thought that this sister had that intention at night. I just heard her suddenly ask: "I've said so much, it's time for you to say it. Come on, tell me, what is a lightsaber?"
"Pfft!" Someone spit out a sip of coffee from his mouth. Where did this completely inappropriate word come from?
