The so-called projection refers to the shadow formed by an object under sunlight.
The projection King Arthur refers to is not a projection in nature, but a magical term.
This is a source of magic similar to the principle of idols but not the same.
For example, the Holy Sword Dawn used by William is a sacred weapon that has been canonized by the church and has the spiritual status of a saint. Its mere existence means that the Holy Sword itself is equal to Joan of Arc, St. Patrick, and King St. Edward. exist.
In a cross religion centered on one God, these angels and saints are essentially equivalent to the gods in polytheistic religions.
Saints are representatives of the human world. They can perform holy miracles, and their holy relics also have the power to protect living people and provide efficacious effects.
Being a king also means that one has the spiritual status of a saint and has the same authority as a saint, but this is only limited to one's lifetime.
Just like the pope can canonize saints, it does not mean that the pope is above the saints. This power is not privately owned by the pope, but delegated by the pope.
Therefore, as long as a replica of the Holy Sword of Dawn is legally authorized by the church or the King of France, the personality and power of the original Holy Sword can be reproduced.
Even if the power of the replica is only less than oooooooo1% of the real thing, as long as it is one hundredth, one ten thousandth, it is enough to shock the world and be able to slay dragons.
The prerequisite for this kind of borrowing power is that the saint is willing to borrow, and the saint really exists in heaven, and the huge phase gap between the two worlds can be used to borrow.
To explain it in scientific terms, the saint is the sun, and the magical power borrowed from idol worship is actually borrowed from solar panels.
Projection is actually a copy of something that originally existed, which is equivalent to the shadow of the original existence. The giant dragons responded to the dragon covenant and came to join the war. It was the projection body.
The main body and the projected body can exist at the same time, just like the main body and the shadow. One existence can even correspond to multiple mirrors, just like shopping in a shopping mall. Countless selves are reflected in the mirrors. However, if you want to turn the shadow into an entity, just A steady supply of magic is needed to supply existence.
The shadow is originally nothingness and exists only by relying on the body.
The more powerful the projection body is, the more powerful it needs to be maintained. The fifteen-minute battle condition proposed by the dragon to William is not because the dragon is stingy, but because the dragon, an extraordinary fantasy creature species, only exists in the human world. Existing and maintaining this existence requires the consumption of huge amounts of power, and these powers are invested by the dragon itself.
If it just maintains its existence, it can last for a relatively long time, but fighting with all its strength will only last for fifteen minutes at best.
"I can't!"
William said with a wry smile that if he only projected a weapon or other artifact, he could do it, but it was really impossible for everyone to complete the projection body.
There is such a fairy tale in Andersen's fairy tale. The little girl's magic match can project quite a lot of things, not only warm coal fire, delicious food, but even her dead grandma can be called to her.
In fact, these illusions are just mirage-like projections. When William lived in the Norman palace, Dr. Andersen used matches to summon the image of his biological mother, but it was just a phantom with a similar appearance.
William's mother is a fairy, and even if she uses magic matches to create a projection, it's just a fake that can be seen at a glance.
"Isn't it possible?" King Arthur showed a confused expression, "The imperial sister said that this kind of magic is actually very simple, and Merlin has also used it before."
William was instantly choked by King Arthur's words. He indeed had no magical talent, but even the most talented people could not compare with Merlin and Morgan.
"No. I can only create dead objects. Even if I create a phantom for a short time, it is like a lit match. It will burn out and disappear at any time due to wind or time. Don't say such things without common sense, projection Yi also needs energy to survive, and I can't give it this energy."
William said helplessly that although he did not have the talent for magic, King Arthur obviously did not have it, and he actually asked such a novice question.
"Is it difficult? How did the dragons do it?" King Arthur showed a confused expression. In her knowledge, almost everyone can use this kind of projection magic and can use it.
"The projection body created by the giant dragon is actually an accumulation of magic power. It has only a false body. As soon as the magic power is used up, the body will collapse and disappear, and the wisdom of the projection body is not complete. If the dragon is equivalent to a human Supercomputer, then the projection body of the dragon is actually an intelligent AI that is divided into part of the calculation data. The computing power of the dragon is limited. The more projection bodies, the less computing power each one can be allocated. The projection body The stronger it is, the computing power of the main body will also be weakened because it is occupied by the projection body."
William explained that the projection body is a projection body, and the clone is a clone. The two are very close, but not exactly the same. He himself does not know this kind of brilliant magic, let alone a group of mortals like them.
"Isn't there a better one?" King Arthur asked.
"Indeed, it is the world of Holy Seal Wars." William replied.
If anyone in this world has the most advanced projection magic, or where it is, it is undoubtedly the world where William once stayed.
Although that world is not strong in terms of force, the water behind it is quite deep, no less than the fairy tale world where William lives.
There is one of the battlefields where chaos and order battle. Gods, demons, heroes, monsters and even mortals in many worlds, as long as their existence is observed, then a projection body is the same as the original body, possessing the original body, memory, emotion and power. will be born, and the person involved may even directly think that time travel has occurred, instead of thinking that he is a projection body born by chaos observation.
The bronze dragon that William defeated was a member of the Legion of Azeroth. Although it was a projection, when Chaos observed the bronze dragon, it copied everything about it.
The bronze dragon is proud, and even the projection body adheres to its honor and fulfills its duties.
"But there is a problem with this, because it is too real, so it is difficult to say that it is a projection body, but it should be another self. For example, in the world I live in, I fell in love with a fairy, and my chaotic projection body fell in love with a fairy. A human being, both of us are William, but our personalities and hobbies will be different due to the environment, and our families are different, just like King Arthur in different worlds, similar but different, even if the essence is the same, we cannot be considered the same person."
William said in a deep voice, although the projection body of that world has the memory of the main body, the main body does not have the memory of the projection body. It is purely a means of chaos control.
For example, if William, as a red dragon, is summoned by magic by people in that world, the projected body will inherit William's memory of that moment, and that's the end of it.
When the projection body naturally dies or is destroyed, as long as William's body is still there, the magicians can rely on this connection to summon his projection body again.
The summoned projection body will inherit the memory of the last time it was a projection body, but will not have the new memory of the original body, and the original body will not receive the corresponding memory.
This reminded him of a story in Indian mythology about the sun god Surya.
In Indian mythology, the son of the sun god has always played an important role in the mythology, including not only the hero Karna in the epic, Manu, the ancestor of mankind, Yama, the god of death, etc.
If Karna is just the child of the sun god Surya and the mortal woman Kunti, then the sun god Surya and her official wife Saraniyu, the god of clouds, have a quite bloody story.
The goddess of clouds and clouds, Shang Jina, is the daughter of Vishukama, the god of craftsmen. Because of her father's order, she married the sun god Surya. However, the goddess Shang Jina did not like her husband, so she gave birth to the sun god Surya. After giving birth to her son Yama and daughter Yama Mi, she let her shadow take on the responsibilities of wife and mother for her, while she returned home.
Jaya Jaya has the appearance, glory, brilliance, memory and identity of a goddess. The sun god Surya did not notice that his wife had changed. Instead, he gave birth to the ancestor of mankind, Manu, and the future god of Saturn, Soni. .
Although the two goddesses are essentially the same person, as mothers they love their children more.
This behavior led to the tragedy that the two goddesses came from the same origin, but were hostile to each other and even harmed each other's children.
The goddess Shanjana broke the legs of Sani, the son of Jaya Jaya, and Jaya Jaya cursed Yama, the son of the goddess Shanjana, giving him a lifetime of headaches and becoming the first death in the world. people.
No god can avoid this kind of tragedy. If William uses the power of chaos to create a projection body, it may cause a lot of trouble. Unless the memories of the main body and the projected body are shared, the projected body will always return to the main body.
"How about using the power of time? In the same world, there are different you at different times. You can also use this technology on the projection." King Arthur said seriously.
"Changing Erica and the others into two is equivalent to me having more fiancées. It's not a loss in calculation. I've made a profit. But once I use the power of time, my existence will also increase, and I will also have more fiancées." I know how to fight. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow I appear at the same time, all wanting to sleep with my wife. There is no way we can sleep together. Even if the wife is the same, I don’t agree. The me at different times are all my wife’s legal Husband, isn’t this just greening yourself?”
William said bitterly, describing this ethical contradiction, and then he became alert, and the previously forbidden memories suddenly emerged. They were memories of the past, present and future, and at the same time there was another memory of William.
