Duoduo had just finished speaking, and before Xiaya could speak, he heard Dora's strange voice in the back of his mind: "Yi? Life spell? It's actually a life spell? There are still human magicians practicing this. Department of magic."
Even the proud female dragon expressed surprise, Xiaya immediately moved, this life curse technique, I'm afraid it's not easy.
Then I heard Dora sneer in her mind: "This young magician of yours is too stupid, what kind of life curse, the real name of this kind of magic should be 'life curse'! It's not just a curse."
Duoduo's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were full of excitement. Looking at Xia Ya, he said with anticipation: "Master, can you give me these... these things? If they are in my hands, these things will all be given to me. You can exert real power! From now on... um, from now on, I can help you fight together, I don't have to hide behind you when you fight..."
Xia Ya smiled, but this smile tugged at the wound, and she couldn't help but gasp in pain, and then she said reluctantly: "Hmph, you guy, but tell me, what is this life curse technique? To be honest, No reservations allowed!"
Saying that, he glared at Dodoro fiercely.
Duoduo rolled his eyes and said cautiously, "Master Xia, you know that the world of magic has a long history and endless mysteries..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Talk about the key!" Xia snorted.
Dodoro shook his body and quickly said: "This... There are many kinds of magic power, most of which are driven by the magic power of the magician himself, uh... But there are some exceptions, in order to use the power of magic, The source of driving is not the magic power of the magician, because it is very difficult to improve the magic power, and it requires the diligence and tenacity of the magician himself, plus enough talent. You must spend a lot of time on meditation and penance, There must be some precious magic potions to improve the level of my spiritual power. In this way, a middle-level magician needs to spend half a lifetime... "
"However, in addition to magic, in the magic world, there are other ways to drive magic power and magic elements. This gives new hope to many magicians who are not very talented in magic. After all, not everyone who yearns for magic has an excellent spiritual talent. For example, I…”
When Dodoro said this, his face was a little gloomy.
"In addition to magic, the most common channel is undead magic, also known as dark magic. To use undead magic, the magic of the magician himself is not important, even if the magic is low, you can use Powerful undead magic, and the source of the power that drives the undead magic is no longer the magician's own magic power, but... the soul power of the undead! As long as enough souls can be collected, then these soul powers can be refined into pure 'spirits' If you store up your power, you can use spiritual power instead of magic power to cast a lot of powerful undead magic!"
"However, according to the laws of magic, the use of undead magic, that is, refining the soul to obtain spiritual power, itself will be cursed, so all magicians who practice undead magic are called black magicians. Although undead magic The power is powerful, but the magician himself will be unlucky because of being cursed. The most common is that because he is surrounded by undead all year round, his body will be very weak, and he will be cursed by gods at the same time, and he will always encounter bad luck... Even when using undead magic to summon some powerful dead creatures, the magician himself will be backlashed by power, and it will endanger life in serious cases..."
Duoduo said that the spit was flying, but Xiaya was a little impatient: "Does what you said have anything to do with the curse of life?"
"Uh..." Duo Duo Luo was stunned for a moment, hurriedly punched his mouth hard, and smirked: "Sorry, when I was studying magic theory, this part was the most familiar to me, um, except for undead magic, which uses spirit In addition to replacing the magic power of the magician, there is another channel that can replace the magician's own magic power, and still can display some powerful magic... This kind of power is called 'life magic', we call it Curse of Life!"
"Simply put... Ordinary magic is driven by magic power. Undead magic is driven by spiritual power. And life curse is driven by... the life force of the magician himself!!"
vitality? ! Xia was stunned.
"Yes, it's life force!" Duoduo sighed, and his face became a little strange: "In order to obtain powerful power, there are always people who are willing to pay a high price! Even if the power can only be obtained for a short time, but Once they taste the taste of power, people will be addicted to it, and even willing to pay more and bigger price! Curse of life is one of them. If it is dangerous, it is even more dangerous than forgetfulness magic! Ordinary The magic consumption of the magician is the magic power of the magician, and the consumption of magic power can be replenished through meditation and rest or some magic potions. Undead magic consumes spiritual power, and spiritual power can be replenished by collecting more undead.
However, life curse magic consumes life force! ! A person's vitality cannot be replenished! Use a little less! The direct side effect of casting life magic is that the magician himself will... Short-lived! In particular, the more powerful the life curse, the more life force it consumes. It is even possible that after a magic is cast, the magician himself will immediately exhaust his vitality and die on the spot! "
I rely on!
Xia was stunned.
What kind of magic is this? Power gained at the cost of one's own vitality... When the power runs out, he also dies? !
"According to ancient records, there are also some crazy people in history who pursued power and practiced this magic at any cost, but there is no magician who can live beyond the age of 30 with the curse of life..." Dodoro's tone was a little heavy: " Because the consumption of this life curse is really terrible. Almost all magicians think that this kind of magic has no meaning at all. No matter how powerful the power is, if you lose life, then everything will be empty. So... For a long time, the curse of life spell has been a very unpopular existence in the magic world, and even I only saw these things in the magic theory class."
"Then according to what you said, there is no cost to cultivate this kind of thing." Xia shook his head: "Once you use this kind of power, the magician himself will die soon."
"There are exceptions." Dodo Luo smiled and his face became sinister: "At least, there has been an exception in history! And this exception has opened a new door for all the magicians who practice the curse of life. !"
As he spoke, Dodoro's expression suddenly became extremely reverent, and in a sincere and fearful tone, he slowly reported a name: "Silafunkya!"
Just as Dodolo announced the name, Xiaya heard Dora humming heavily in her mind.
Later, Dodoro said something about the name...
※※※
Hilla Funkya.
The name belongs to a magician. Even though this magician was notorious after his death, in the history of magic in the mainland, this magician is still listed as the top ten among all magician geniuses in history! !
Not a contemporary ranking, but a ranking of all magical geniuses in history!
It is even said that some individual extreme magicians even believe that Shira Funkya is the most talented magician in history.
Shirafenkea was not a magician before, he was a priest of the church before the age of 30... Although priests are also a type of magicians, priests are only good at some auxiliary magic, such as blessing, terror dispelling, Spiritual strength such as courage and blessing. And the only more practical spell that can act on the human body itself is healing.
In addition, even simple power blessing, speed blessing these spells, priests can not complete.
Pastors are also one of the specialized forces that belong to the church.
Before the age of thirty, Sylafunka was said to be a priest in a local chapel, but he was indeed a genius in magic—a deformed genius. His magic power is not outstanding, it can even be said to be very low, so even as a priest, the level of his priest spells is also very low.
But the genius later turned to undead magic... This is not unusual, undead magic is not forbidden in the magic world, on the contrary, the pursuit of power by magicians is usually above the moral standards of the world.
Many magicians who are willing to rely on nobles or help the army fight are undead magicians, because on the battlefield, undead magicians can harvest more undead and improve their spiritual power.
Before the age of forty, Sylafunka became a famous necromancer on the continent, but this did not seem to satisfy his quest for power.
Undead magic is inherently subject to some restrictions, such as the collection of spiritual power, which is criticized by the world, feared and excluded by the world, and even the church has to make some restrictive clauses, restricting the necromancer from immorality. method to enhance spiritual power.
The real contribution of Syracuse to magic academics, that is, the reason why he truly became recognized as one of the top magic geniuses in history, was the curse of life he later converted to - this name did not exist at that time, and it was still used by him at that time. It's called "life magic".
The magician used to burn his own life force to drive powerful magical powers and magical elements, a price that was once thought to be a kind of piety and nobility that bordered on burial - but after Sylafunkia, this view was broken.
Because, after years of research, Shirafenkea finally found an exhaustion: the driving force of life magic is no longer the consumption of the magician's own vitality... but someone else's! ! !
To put it simply, Shirafenkea combined the undead magic she had learned with life magic, and finally developed a new method: using the magic of undead magic to extract spiritual power, and made some Change, you can devour and absorb the vitality of others, and then use the absorbed vitality of others as a driving force to launch more powerful magic.
In order to do this research at the earliest time, in order to find a powerful life medium, Sila Funkya needed to find some other creatures with particularly strong vitality to replace his own vitality consumption.
And what did he find
On this continent, it is recognized that among all creatures, what is the creature with the most vigorous vitality and the longest lifespan
Without a doubt... yes...
dragon!
※※※
Sylafunkia is a genius, a genius who will do anything in his quest for power - and understand that geniuses are often paranoid.
So this guy, in order to test his achievements, started to attack the dragons without hesitation!
At that time, this guy was already a powerful undead magician. It is said that he went north alone, went to the far north to find dragons, and then used many shameless and despicable means, including poisoning, sneak attacks, etc., to hunt and kill several people. A dragon, extracting enough vitality from the dragon's body.
It is also for this reason... The name Shirapunkya is notorious among the dragons, and because of this, after the era of Shirapunkya, all human necromancers have been blacklisted by the dragons.
Undead magic is at the top of the dragon's list of unwelcome enemies.
Even, in order to improve the fusion of undead magic and life magic, this guy actually found the holy tomb in the legend of the dragon family after hunting down a few dragons without knowing what he thought of it! !
The most legendary thing is that this guy came out alive after he went to the Dragon Sacred Tomb? !
And after he came out, he returned to the mainland, and soon, the things he worked hard on came to fruition.
After he successfully improved the life magic, it became the current "curse of life".
"In fact, all vitality can be transformed into the power of life magic! Not only the magician himself, but using my achievements, I can extract the vitality of all the creatures around! Humans, dwarves, dragons, elves... No no no, not only These advanced beings, even flowers and plants, trees, insects, snakes, ants, birds and beasts... can be absorbed!"
These words of Shirafenkia were written in the book of magic theory.
But this guy is a madman, an unscrupulous madman!
Legend has it that in order to gain abundant vitality, he created at least three plague disasters on the mainland! Legend has it that wherever he walks, no grass grows, and all life will wither!
And the power obtained by such a method is really unbelievable... Just when Shirafenkea was seventy years old, he finally suffered retribution.
Previously, because of his rebellious actions, the church had issued a wanted notice against him, and at least three saint-level magisters had hunted him down, but he escaped. In the end, he died at the hands of "God".
Legend has it that the gods could not tolerate him violating the laws of life and magic so many times. As a result, when he was seventy years old, because of the sufficient absorbed vitality, Sylafunkia still looked like thirty or forty years old. The middle-aged man, and in the end, the gods descended on thunder and skyfire, reducing him and his magic laboratory to ashes.
Although the guy died, the name remained the most controversial focus in the wizarding world for a hundred years after his death.
The important reason is that he once left a paragraph in the magic world.
"Why kill me? I'm just opening a new door to the path of power. Maybe it's the opening of this door that makes some 'beings' uneasy. Killing and death are not mine. The original intention, but, in order to open some new doors, then some costs must be paid. At least, life magic is not evil in my opinion. Magicians can use many methods to obtain vitality, not just slaughtering the same kind Or other higher beings. Even... pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, horses... can be the source of vitality. Don't we plunder life if we eat beef and mutton every day
Noble and mean, but a standard imposed on me that's all!
For me, I don't have to kill people, and even, as long as I bring a herd of sheep that is theoretically enough, I can challenge a holy-level magister! Although my real strength is much weaker than that of a magus.
All of me will be hunted down and excluded, precisely because of such an 'unfair' challenge!
Some 'existences' regard power as their own prohibition. When they found out that other people could use new methods to obtain the same amount of power as themselves, they were terrified!
The people above, in order to keep the position above - so, I must die. "
This passage was left by Hiera Funkya, who blatantly went to the church headquarters in Osgilia a year before his death. At that time, this guy appeared in the imperial capital Osgilia, which caused a big panic, but this guy who defied the sky just went around in a circle, left a few words and then left.
No one dared to fight him in Osgilia, because everyone knows that once an attack is launched against him, this genius madman, in order to protect himself, may cast life magic... And the entire human beings in Osgilia will become He draws the object of vitality!
Neither the emperor nor the leader of the church dared to let such a disaster happen before his eyes.
※※※
After listening to this Shirafenkea story, Char also sighed.
"Damn it! It's too good!" The turtle spat fiercely: "It's so arrogant."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Dodo Luo: "Are you sure that the guy I killed, he practiced the curse of life?"
Dodoro pointed to the rings that were ripped off from the dead magician's fingers: "I can feel the power fluctuations in this ring! It is not stored magic power, nor is it the spiritual energy of the undead magician, but... a kind of vitality! The life force extracted!"
