Night Raven Master

Chapter 167 Into the Soul
"Another blizzard."

In the temporary cave, Art and a group of crows hid in it to rest.

Shaking his head, he settled down and tried to observe his soul again.

Consciousness descended into the spiritual sea again, trying to pass through the majestic spiritual vortex that was spinning and never stopping.

Much smaller than the spiritual vortex, the dark spiritual energy vortex floats on it, and several thin black lines connect the two together.

If you want to observe your own soul, you need to pass your consciousness across this spiritual bridge and observe the soul hidden on the other side of your body.

According to Prome's explanation, the position of the soul is as follows:

"How should I put it, Master, look, this is a line, right? This is a hard rectangle."

Prome drew a horizontal line and a square on the ground.

"If this line segment is a living thing, then it can only understand the direction in which it extends, that is, the front and rear directions, but it cannot understand its up and down positions, or they only have the two concepts of front and back, not up and down."

"As for this rigid quadrilateral, it has the concept of up, down, left, and right, but it cannot understand the existence of height."

It draws something that approximates a coordinate system.

"And this is" Promi used the pseudomorph to form a cone, "this cone has three concepts: up, down, left, right, and height."

Following Prome's narration, a concept emerged in Art's mind—dimension.

One-dimensional lines.

two-dimensional faces.

three-dimensional body.

"Let's not talk about the method of twisting the structure."

"To form a line segment, at least two points are required."

"To form a planar pattern, at least three line segments are required."

"If you want to form a three-dimensional thing, you need at least four plane figures."

"If there are five solids, a four-dimensional body can be formed."

"I remember that the powerhouse at the fourth level of Tianqi, whose body and soul are completely assimilated, needs to carry out a savings and breakthrough called "overlapping"."

Arthur nodded. He had heard about this knowledge from the Duke of Mercury, his mentor. This was also one of the reasons why he felt that the civilization and technology of this world would be stronger than the original world.

This world has the means to upgrade itself - overlapping and twisting.

Overlapping—by superimposing matter, it makes itself look like a line segment superimposed into a plane pattern, from three-dimensional superposition to a four-dimensional creature.

Distortion——Through distortion, make yourself distort like a line segment into a circle, or a circle into a sphere, without superposition, from three-dimensional to four-dimensional creatures.

A powerhouse above Level [-] of Apocalypse is a four-dimensional creature.

It's not Minkowski's four-dimensional space-time concept—Minkowski's four-dimensional space-time concept is a four-dimensional space plus time.

The four-dimensional here refers to the four-dimensional space.

In his original world, although the technology is powerful and he knows the concept of dimensions, he has not touched the dimension upgrade yet.

"But what does this have to do with the soul?" Although he knew this, he didn't understand what the soul had to do with it.

Prome scratched his head with his wings: "This overlapping process is centered on the soul. The center of the five overlapping bodies is where the soul is, and the body is the body. One, so, it can also be said that the soul is on the other side of the body. And the spiritual vortex leads to this side"

It is also a little distressed, it doesn't know what language to use to explain, and it speaks intermittently and organized language.

Hearing its words, Art also reacted.

As three-dimensional creatures, they have the concept of length, width and height, that is, the xyz axis, so they can understand the length, width and height in a way that is compared with reality. If they are two-dimensional creatures, they can only have the physical concept of xy two coordinates. The z-axis does not exist, and even though they can understand three dimensions mathematically, they cannot actually observe three dimensions.

And one-dimensional, there is no y-axis and z-axis, and it is impossible to understand two-dimensional let alone three-dimensional through actual comparison.

As a three-dimensional creature, although it can be understood that there is a fourth coordinate axis, because there is no real four-dimensional body, it is impossible to carry out an actual comparison to understand the four-dimensional body.

So, for this concept, even by imagination, it is difficult to understand.

Fortunately, because as long as you pass through the spiritual bridge, you can reach the soul.

But with Prome's guidance, Art's understanding of the soul is also stronger.

"The other side of the body. The other side."

The concept was a bit abstract, but after he visualized it carefully, his consciousness also slowly passed through the spiritual vortex, carefully passing through the middle, without touching the spiritual vortex, and without feeling the blocking feeling before .

When he touches the spiritual vortex, his consciousness will be drawn to other places and appear in other parts of the body, sometimes even outside the body.

But this time, his consciousness finally passed through the vortex and saw the soul.

It was a faint blue, a blurry figure, like a mist surrounding it.

The moment Art's consciousness came here, the soul opened its eyes, and looked at him with empty eyes.

This action scared Arter almost out of his meditation state.

Later, he discovered that this seemed to be an instinctive reaction of the soul.

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he even thought of the original owner of this body, the young man named Yate.

Afterwards, Art carefully observed the image of the soul——

Because it is impossible to measure it accurately, but proportionally speaking, my soul is about the same height as my previous life, which is the level of ordinary people.

The appearance is the same as the self in the previous life, not a high nose and deep eyes, but a broad face, prominent cheekbones and flattened cheekbones, a medium nasal root, and a not protruding nose, typical Asian features.

Because the whole body is blue and reveals a sense of darkness similar to psionic power, the hair is also the same color-the eyeballs are missing in the eye sockets, there are only two holes, so there is no such thing as black hair and black eyes.

And
On his forehead, there is also an extra eye, and other parts of the body, there are also thin lines.

With the crystal clear and gloomy pupils, a name immediately appeared in Yate - Phantom Eyes.

Has it extended to the soul?
Frowning slightly, Art looked around his soul.

Around the misty phantom, there is a tiny blue color like a planetary belt.

Some of them are crumbs——Yate suddenly remembered that he had seen these crumbs when he just passed through—

This is the soul of the predecessor.

The rest are 47 light spots.

One is spherical, like a marble-like ball, brighter than the other light spots.

35 of them are in the form of vague blue crows.

The remaining eleven are in the form of a red crow, the color of lava, and one of them is so blurry that even the form of a crow is vague, and it can only be seen as a bird.

The number and color of the demonic crows made Art think of the demonic crows, and that bright ball was Promea.

That fuzzy red, if correct, is the demonized crow that died in the hunter's village last time.

So--

Art's eyes swept to the blue crow spot.

Among the many crows, a crow with the most vague form, together with other crows, was flying around Art's soul.

"Glora."

Art was silent for a moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't touch the soul of Glora.

Shaking his head, Art's consciousness touched his soul.

In an instant, consciousness and soul are joined together.

In the empty eye sockets of the soul, a look appeared.

Art felt a strange lightness, an urge to float.

But he controlled the urge.

He did not forget that Prome said that the spiritual bridge is very powerful, but it is also very fragile. There is no special spell, and if the soul is moved casually, it is easy to cause the spiritual bridge to collapse.

At that time, it's not that the soul is out of the body, it's really dead.

Prome on the side also looked at Art who was meditating with some concern.

Most of the monsters use the power of the flesh and blood, and the power comes from the blood of the flesh.

Necromancers use the power of the soul after being infected by negative energy, and the soul is the blood bar and the blue bar.

Whether it is a necromancer or a wizard or other spellcasters, they use the power of the spirit, which is a derivative of the soul, which is originally fragile.

But also because of this, the spiritual bridge is extremely important to the caster.

The spirit of the dead has abandoned the body, and the bridge of the spirit does not exist at all. The spiritual power derived from the soul and infected with negative energy is the energy source.

Some monsters don't even need souls and spirits. Even if the bridge of spirits breaks and loses their souls, they can continue to survive.

The next moment, Prome saw his master opened his eyes.

Promi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yate's next words made his face bitter:
"Prome, how much summoning knowledge do you know?"

"call?"

Arthur nodded. Now his upper limit of crow servants has reached 100, but the current number of crow servants is only 45.

In the case of keeping two shares, he also needs 53 crow minions.

After the last incident in the hunter's village, he had the idea of ​​summoning creatures from other planes.

Moreover, with some operations, he can gain a lot.

Taking advantage of the time when you can't act because of the blizzard, you can think carefully.

Among them, the help of Promi is needed.

Seeing Att's familiar gaze, Prome swallowed the non-existent saliva:
"I know some summoning rituals, but most of them are for summoning undead. Master, master, no, there is no danger, right?"

Its stuttering voice just brought a smile to Art's face:
"How can there be danger? You are my faithful and reliable servant."
