There is no one better to be Emily's examiner than Kamel. After touching every brick, every beam, and every gully in the fortress of disobedience, and studying every mystery and detail of his own body, this ancient arcane master once said:
"As a researcher, I have extensive experience both in researching and being researched."
Emily's situation is not exactly the same as his, but at least the essence of "energy creature" is still common. Based on his own research results, Kamel knows how to start when facing another energy creature.
After some tentative negotiations, Kamel first confirmed Emily's current state of mind: "Her thinking ability is sound, but the way of perception and feedback is a bit chaotic. This should be a dislocation caused by a sudden change in life form. So now she's acting a little...unlike ordinary people."
Gawain nodded, watching the little girl Emily who was floating around the amber seemed to be curious about every stranger in front of her, and she was in contact with everyone on the scene with the mentality of "researching new things" , but during this process, she did not have much effective communication with others. She seemed to be immersed in her own spiritual world, and only accepted the limited interference of the real material world, which made her action mode somewhat weird.
According to Kamel, when a human being suddenly transforms into an energy body creature, the world in his eyes will be "overlapping" and "illusory" in a short period of time, just like observing a group of people through layers of curtains. It is as elusive as a flame, and the transformer's own mind will also change during this process to match this physical mutation. This dislocation is not permanent, and Emily is clearly in the middle of this change now The only thing to be happy about is that the little girl seems to be adapting well.
"Does she still have her own memory?" Wright next to him couldn't help asking curiously, "I mean... is she still Emily?"
"Basically it's going to stay, just like me, but the way she treats these memories is hard to say, it depends on her later mental remodeling," Kamel said, "But she is still her anyway. , being able to retain ourselves is also the biggest difference between energy creatures like us and undead."
While speaking, Kamel felt a little bit emotional: "This child must have a very special talent for the affinity of the Holy Light... This talent should have been manifested before she was alive."
"She once said that she saw a circle of light around me..." There was a gleam in Wright's eyes, and he suddenly remembered the forgotten details of that night, "I thought she mistook the light of the campfire for something else …”
"What she saw might be the holy light surging around you. Those holy lights have never left you, but you can't perceive them, so they can only wander around," Gawain guessed, "and I remember you said , the person who adopted Emily said that the child is 'not quite in the right mind'?"
Wright nodded: "Yes, they say that Emily has weird ideas since she was a child, and she often has hallucinations, and sometimes scares adults."
Pittman was full of emotion: "A gifted poor girl, although this kind of thing has not happened, but compared with those rich children who can receive a good education and develop healthily, this kind of thing often only exists. In the imagination of the poor... it can only be said that all this is a coincidence."
"No, I don't think it's a coincidence," Wright shook his head suddenly, he looked at Emily with some inexplicable light in his eyes, "I think it's the guidance of the Holy Light... to guide me, a stupid The Holy Light arranged for me to meet Emily."
Emily heard Wright's voice, she giggled, landed lightly behind Wright, grabbed the latter's shoulder with her hands, and slowly fell there like a veil, then tilted her head without knowing it After thinking about something, she suddenly waved her arms at Kamel again, and her whole body glowed warmly and brightly.
Kamel froze for a moment, then smiled softly, raised his arms, and responded with a pleasant light blue glow.
Amber stared blankly at the side, and couldn't help poking Gao Wen's arm after a while: "Hey, can you understand what they are doing?"
Gao Wen couldn't understand the communication mode of the two luminous creatures, he could only analyze randomly: "...Maybe they can resonate and communicate after being transformed into energy bodies?"
At this time, Kamel floated over: "I don't know what she means, so I will flash twice."
Gao Wen & Amber: "..."
Kamel looked at the bewildered faces of Gawain and Amber, and suddenly felt a little at a loss: "No, you can forget about it, Amber. Lord, didn't you tease children when you were young?"
Gao Wen: "..."
How does this make him answer? It is true that he has a memory of teasing children, but who can make such a big turn in this situation!
"I want to know how I'm going to take care of her," Wright said, worrying about something else. "I've never had that experience."
When Pittman heard this, he immediately leaned forward with a smile on his face: "Then you have found the right person when you find me. I used to take care of children with someone..."
Before the little old man finished speaking, Gawain interrupted loudly: "Wright, think about it clearly, what Pittman brought out back then was amber..."
Amber was still following Pittman with a smiley face a second ago, but now she stared: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?!"
"Don't make any trouble, Emily is just a child." Gawain glanced at Pittman and Amber imposingly, staring back at the shame of the old and young's territory, and then looked at Kamel, " Or tell me Emily is no longer a normal human child, what does she need for her growth and development?"
Kamel nodded, and said to Wright: "It's good to let this child live by your side temporarily. According to my observation, she can already sustain herself, but she still needs a small amount of holy light from you as a supplement. Besides energy, She doesn't need to drink or eat. In addition, she needs to have proper contact with other people, which will help her rebuild her mind as soon as possible and reduce her anxiety. Finally, you have to observe her state at any time, when her When the energy body is unstable and suddenly extremely agitated, you should use your own power of holy light to comfort her, or check whether there is too strong energy source interfering around. If you encounter a situation that cannot be resolved, come to me. "
Wright carefully wrote down these precautions, and only after remembering them all, he raised his head, exhaled softly, and turned his face to look at Emily who was still lying on his shoulder: "You Don't worry, I will protect you this time."
Gawain also smiled. He walked forward slowly and extended a hand to the little girl: "Son, welcome to Cecil."
…
After leaving the church, Gawain did not return to the Lord's Mansion, but brought Amber to the White Water River.
It's getting to midsummer, but Ansu, as a northern country, has always had a cool climate, especially beside the Baishui River. Even at noon in summer, there is often a cool breeze. Gawain stood on the bank of the river on a high On the concrete platform, while blowing the cool breeze, while looking at the direction of the mechanical bridge.
The huge mechanical bridge connects the two banks of the Baishui River. On the opposite side of the mechanical bridge, the farmland in the North Bank development area is covered with waves of wheat. It can be vaguely seen that there are pipelines extending from the river to the bank farther away. Wen knew that was where the pumps for the North Shore Frontier were located.
With the manufacture of various magical machines, advanced mechanical pumps have long replaced the earliest waterwheel devices in the territory, but to this day, there is still a waterwheel running in the western part of the south bank, that is for Remembrance of the earliest difficult days of the Frontiers.
"Aren't you going home to look at the wheat?" Although Amber obediently fulfilled her duties as a guard and followed Gawain to the river, her mouth could not rest at all, and she stood by the side for a while. , she couldn't help muttering.
"It helps me think." Gao Wen said casually.
Emily appeared in his mind.
Whether Emily is now "resurrected from the dead", Gao Wen couldn't figure it out for a while, whether it was the guidance of the Holy Light or a pure coincidence, he was not interested either, he was just seeing Emily's soul After changing the body shape, I couldn't help but feel a little confused, so I just wanted to find a place to think quietly.
Soul, entity, spirit... Where is the boundary between these
If counting from the age of satellites, Gawain may have been in this world for a million years. If counting from the time when the coffin was uncovered, he has also been active in this world for more than a year. Despite the constraints of thinking in the previous life, the weird or "unreasonable" things in this world still bother him from time to time.
Kamel, who was once a human, became a magical creature after receiving the energy infusion from the giant deer Amon. Ninety percent of his body is composed of so-called "arcane energy". Emily, who was once a human, After being affected by Wright's holy light, the soul survived independently and became a spirit creature. The whole body was formed by the holy light, and what made up their bodies was "energy".
Can energy have form and quality? Can energy be seen and touched? Can the boundary between energy and matter be so blurred
The concept of the previous life told Gao Wen that energy is invisible and intangible. It exists, but human beings can only confirm its existence through various phenomena produced by energy. It can be transformed into matter, but that is an extremely difficult task. But in this world, everything is completely different.
In the realm of magic, the boundaries of the material world are so blurred... How did those unimaginable changes come about
Gao Wen's eyes fell on the wheat waves in the distance, those wheat waves, those flowing water, those soils, those things that actually exist, can they suddenly change their forms, and they don't have to follow e=m2
The foundation of this world... How is it formed
While thinking, Gao Wen suddenly thought of the magic tide, the substances that transformed in the magic tide, and the magical environment that changed after the magic tide passed.
Is the magic tide... the moment when the boundary between energy and matter is the most blurred
He doesn't know how to explain the confusion and thinking in his mind to the native creatures of this world. Even a top scholar like Kamel may not be able to understand what is going on with the other world view in his mind, but He indeed found a little bit of clues in the difficult friction between the two worldviews, a little bit of clues that might be related to the essence of this world, and he instinctively felt that the changes that happened to Kamel and Emily could not be simple. Just cover it up with the words "all of this is due to magic", behind these changes... maybe the most essential secret of this world is hidden.
Amber was standing by the side, looking at Gawain's pensive look, she keenly felt that Gawain was getting agitated on a problem that was almost a dead end, she didn't know what the problem was, but she still said: "Amy Li is alive, all in all this is a good thing, right?"
Gao Wen woke up from those difficult problems that are impossible to get the answer at present. He froze for a moment, then laughed and looked at Amber: "It's really rare that you can speak clearly. Yes, it's always a good thing no matter what. .” m.
