Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1281 Resurrection Related Soul Traction
After verifying the magic imprint, Xia Duo finally entered the library he was thinking of. Although it is underground, except for the smaller internal space, the overall layout of the library is not much different from the academy library on the ground.

In addition, the most important thing is that you only need to confirm your identity when you enter the door. After you enter, there are no restrictions on all the books and materials inside.

At least, Xia Duo passed by two or three rows of bookshelves one after another, but he didn't find any books he couldn't afford.

At the same time, he also discovered that most of the books included here are the collated materials of various research projects within the research institute, and there are relatively few materials outside of specific projects.

But thanks to the more reasonable classification of books, Xia Duo still easily found a lot of information related to resurrection spells in the realm of life and soul.

The situation that he was worried about not being able to find the information did not appear, but most of these information belonged to the branch technology of the resurrection spell, or in other words-support technology.

For example, human tissue repair, vitality recovery, soul traction, soul summoning, etc.

And from these materials, Xia Duo also sorted out the restoration and development of the resurrection spell by the survivors of the empire, and yes, there is also technical restoration.

In the past empire period, the resurrection did not necessarily require the resurrection target's body, or a part of the body, but in today's era, the resurrection spell cannot reach the level of the past, and a certain amount of living body tissue must be preserved.

Blood or flesh will do.

The current researchers have conducted a lot of research, and even after excavating the remains of the Resurrection Division, they still have not been able to restore the original resurrection technique.

But in the process, a large number of intermediate spells were also invented, such as more efficient healing and even human cloning.

However, today's era is not without achievements beyond the past, the most typical of which are spells related to soul pulling and soul summoning.

……

In the empire period, if you want to resurrect a dead person, although you don't need a corpse, you must need a soul, and obtaining a soul is quite troublesome.

Either the death scene intercepted the soul that disappeared quickly, or the deceased carried the [Soul Amulet] when he died.

For the former, if there is someone on the scene who can intercept the soul, it will not be difficult to save the person concerned, and there is no need to wait for him to die before resurrecting.

As for the latter, [Soul Amulet] is essentially a high-quality magic item. For insurance, it even needs to add a teleportation function.

Even in the heyday of the empire, a high-quality magic item was not easily accessible to most people.

This is also an important reason why resurrection was not popularized at that time.

Of course, Xia Duo does not rule out that there are a few vested interests who artificially set up obstacles for the technological breakthrough of the resurrection spell to demonstrate their privileges.

But now, with fewer people and fewer high-level mages, the higher-ups only hope that the resurrection spell will develop rapidly, not hinder it.

Before "Mecade" left the survival base, a small bottle of blood was collected for resurrection, and a very crucial point, the first resurrection of all high-level mages is now completely free.

This is due to the emergence of soul summoning and soul pulling related spells.

For high-level mages who died outside and had a chance to be resurrected, as long as someone inside reported them, the rear base would immediately activate the summoning circle, summon their souls, and then resurrect them. The cost was more than one notch lower than in the past.

Of course, if no one reports, as long as the time exceeds a certain limit, it will never be resurrected.

As for soul traction, it is usually arranged temporarily when there is a major action. It does not need to be reported and then summoned, but it has a traction effect with it. Once a person dies, the soul will go back and be resurrected immediately.

Like Elise said before that she has a mission to go out, Xia Duo is sure that she must have blessed the soul pulling effect first, otherwise a senior arcanist, such a precious human resource, will not be wasted at will.

……

In the library of the Institute.

Xia Duo almost greedily flipped through the materials related to the resurrection, but after looking at it, he found a problem, and it was still a very important problem.

In all the materials, there are a lot about soul summoning and soul pulling, but there are only descriptions of effects, without details of technical implementation.

There is even the last step of resurrection, but the part of how to obtain the soul is missing.

There is another one, Xia Duo also suspects that it was deliberately hidden, and that is the technology about soul healing.

In the memory of "Mecade", Comanthor has many special means to restrain the resurrection of the remnants of the empire, such as the [negative energy erosion] he suffered before.

People who died of being eroded by negative energy cannot be resurrected because their souls are polluted, so they need a means to heal their souls, and accordingly, there will be continued restraint on Comanzo's side.

In addition, there may be restraint of soul summoning, or even restraint of soul pulling.

From this point of view, the research institute hides relevant technical details, perhaps to prevent Cormanso from knowing it.

However, on the research institute side, once you join, you cannot leave the survival base. Could it be that there is still some trick to keep the enemy at the heart of the empire?
If there is such a spy, then Comanso may have already swept the ground and wiped out the remnants of the empire.

But no matter what, leaving aside some small thoughts about getting long and hopeful, Xia Duo's mission to enter the projection plane this time can be said to have been completed!

……

The so-called resurrection spell, the real technical key points probably have three parts——

One is how to restore the body and keep it active;
One is how to collect souls and keep them intact;
The above two points, Netheril on the main plane can almost do it, it is nothing more than a question of how high the degree of completion is, this has solved the problem from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 100, there is not much in essence. Great difficulty.

The last one is the most difficult to solve, that is, if the soul is put back into the body, it can return to normal.

Under normal circumstances, after the soul leaves the body, the connection with the body is broken. In this case, even if the soul is inserted back, the dead will not be resurrected.

It is similar to taking out the heart and putting it back in, which breaks the original normal state of the human body, even if it is put back, it is still a corpse.

How to reconstruct the link between the soul and the body is the absolute key to the resurrection spell!

Xia Duo entered [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] before. At that time, he did not understand the development history of the resurrection spell.

But now, he knew that the initial research on the resurrection spell was to put the living into the dying state in various ways again and again, and summed up the law of the connection between the soul and the body, and reversing this process was resurrection.

The more perfect the connection between the reconstructed soul and the body, the fewer sequelae after resurrection.
