Chapter 408 The Definition of Life and Death
No one can say for sure about matters of the soul.
What is the definition of undead? Where is the line between life and death?
Few people can explain this clearly.
After all, the legendary necromancy belongs to a taboo area. If you want to find out what is in this area, you have to go and see it yourself.
“Logically speaking, after the body dies, the soul will also die, right?” Caesar frowned and thought, his hands moving subconsciously.
This was his instinctive action. He had to put his hands in the most comfortable position before thinking.
It's similar to how a man would unconsciously tuck his hands inside the bed when he's alone at night in cold weather.
It’s just that there is a better place to put it now, so there is no need to put yourself in a difficult position.
Just enough to warm your hands.
Fudan originally wanted to just let it go and let him hold her.
But the hand stopped at that position, which made her very uncomfortable, but Caesar had imprisoned her and she could not escape.
But seeing that he was thinking, she didn't want to interrupt him.
"This is determined by the nature of the soul. In the world of the soul, everything is more inclined towards idealism."
"When the body is damaged, the soul cannot tell the difference and will think that its soul has also been damaged. This is caused by the pain transmitted from the nerves in the body."
Logically speaking, since the physical bodies of these people no longer exist, their souls should also be shattered. At the very least, only souls that have reached the Emerald Stage have the ability to continue to exist for a period of time after leaving the physical body.
But the fact is not like this now. Xi Ze felt that the soul in the necklace was intact. Either it was forcibly extracted by someone, or someone protected their souls to prevent them from breaking shortly after their physical bodies died.
Based on the facts, it should be the latter now.
To achieve the latter point, the Necromancer must take action.
"Where's the necromancer?"
Caesar asked.
"That necromancer was Funis's former teammate. He is in our caravan right now and should be outside the city at this moment."
Fudan said so.
Qi Qi, the necromancer in Funis's team, was currently at their caravan's camp outside the city.
Since her appearance as a ghost was not very pleasant to be seen by others, she did not enter the city. It would be difficult to deal with if her identity as a ghost was discovered by others.
"I see." Caesar understood roughly.
"I think there should still be hope." Caesar made a judgment.
"She must have forcibly extracted the souls from her teammates' bodies and preserved them when their bodies were in danger and about to die."
"Because at that time, their bodies had not yet died, and their souls themselves would not feel that they had passed away. It can be seen that there was no dead air in their souls, and not even many broken parts."
"So, these are undoubtedly living souls. As long as their bodies are rebuilt, they can regain life."
"So, there is hope?" Fudan asked.
"Yes, there is help."
Caesar nodded, confirming Fudan's words.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Having promised her sister, Fudan had to do it quickly. She looked like she was ready to take action immediately: "Let's go, let's go find Nellie and ask her for help."
"Etc., etc."
Caesar tightened his arms and didn't let her go.
"what?"
"There is another problem." Caesar asked her to be patient.
"what is the problem?"
"Logically speaking, if Fenice and her team encountered such a dangerous situation, it would be difficult for the necromancer in their team to survive alone, right?"
"Yeah." Fudan nodded: "Qi Qi also died in the end, but she was a necromancer, so she was able to preserve her soul. It was also because of her that her teammates had the chance to survive."
"That's where the problem lies." Caesar said with a frown.
Although Necromancers are more knowledgeable about souls than other professionals, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want with souls. If the body containing the soul is broken, it is not like you can just find a box to preserve it. Do you think it is meat in the refrigerator?
Just put it in the fresh-keeping layer and you don’t have to worry.
"Although they are necromancers, after their bodies are broken, low-level necromancers have no way of preserving their souls intact. After all, souls are subject to so-called [wear and tear]."
"It would be fine if they had never moved, but the souls preserved in this necklace are like these. Since they have been sleeping, their souls show no signs of movement, so they can be preserved intact."
"But that mage is obviously different, isn't she? Her body has long been broken, like a kettle full of holes, and her soul is the liquid inside."
"A sleeping soul is like a block of ice, a solid solid, so even if the kettle is full of holes, it will not leak out."
"And the souls in motion..." Caesar didn't say anything else, but Fudan probably understood what he meant.
"Even if that little wizard is at the gold level, the soul of a gold level is still too fragile, and there is no way to ensure that his soul will not dissipate. Generally speaking, his soul will dissipate within a month, and there will be no trace of him in this world from then on."
"Think carefully about the liches among the undead creatures that we have conquered before." Caesar reminded.
In the dungeons that were conquered in the past, there would often be undead creatures that had lived for thousands of years wandering around in the dungeons. They were ghosts that were reluctant to leave the human world and stayed in this world in a special way.
"They are at least at the Emerald Level, right?"
"Now that you mention it..." Fudan also felt that Caesar was right.
"So what's going on now?" If Qi Qi's soul should have disappeared long ago, then what's her situation now? It's been several months since they left their hometown.
“The law I just mentioned is the iron law of the soul. Unless you have a special treasure, you cannot violate it.” Caesar said with certainty.
"Then there is only one explanation."
"That Qi Qi's soul has long since dissipated, a long time ago."
"The one still wandering there is just a creature created by a necromancer using his own soul..."
"Undead."
"But she behaved very normally." Fudan recalled Qi Qi's performance. The last time she saw her was on the way to Ornn. She was helping the caravan at that time. Thanks to her care, she was able to rest in the carriage and avoid exposing her identity.
"Who knows?" Caesar shrugged. "I don't know much about this part of necromancy. For details, I still need to ask professionals."
Speaking of professionals, a candidate came to Caesar's mind.
I don’t know what that guy [Musician] is doing now.
When it comes to necromancy, he is probably the one who knows the most. He can even split the soul and put it back together.
Although Caesar could also do it, that was only after he cheated with his own power. However, this guy could accomplish such an outrageous thing directly by relying on his understanding of necromancy.
Regarding this guy, although he seems to be very honest in the capital, he is the black finger of the Black Death Cult after all, so we cannot take him lightly.
Speaking of which, the Black Death cult guys seem to be keeping a low profile recently.
Obviously, before this, they were still very arrogant and carried out a large number of operations throughout the territory of Ornn, with various mazes emerging one after another.
I don't know where they got so many substitutes for the [Heart of the Labyrinth] from, and then they started to mass-produce labyrinths in Ornn.
However, I received news recently that they have basically withdrawn from Ornn, and the others have also gone into hiding. I don't know what the situation is.
Bring your thoughts back to the present.
"However, if you don't think too much, it's still very simple to just save her teammates."
Caesar spoke up.
