Chapter 183: Cloning! The trump card of resurrection

The souls from other worlds all possess extraordinary talents.

It is not known whether it is because they absorbed the remaining soul power of the indigenous people, or whether the two souls merged into one, and finally the souls from the other world that were resurrected from the dead possessed powerful spiritual attributes.

Simply put, the physical quality of the souls from another world is related to the body at the time of resurrection, that is, the three attributes of strength, agility and constitution, while their inner spirit often shows extraordinary talents in intelligence, perception and charm because of the fusion of soul power or the digestion of another soul.

Even if the soul from another world was a warrior in the previous life, after resurrection from the dead, they can have the potential to become an advanced spellcaster.

If we use a gaming analogy, most of the souls from other worlds are hero templates, rare cards, they have at least one attribute of 16 points, there are even geniuses with one attribute reaching 18 points, if they were a mythical race in the previous life, they can even reach a basic attribute of 20 points.

There is no doubt that the Paffer in front of him has a talent similar to that of Sean. His perception attribute is most likely to be 18 points naturally.

"Your Excellency the Bishop."

After wearing the confusion given by Sean, Pav obviously felt much better. His expression was full of fear and awe. He bowed his head respectfully and said, "Can you take me back to Sigil?"

Although I don't know why a wizard would be called a bishop, such a powerful spellcaster must know the existence of Sigil.

Xiao En was a little surprised when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are from Sigil City?"

"Yes." Pafu said carefully: "My master is Zedara, a Titan."

"I don't know why I unexpectedly came back to life here."

"Where is this?"

Xiao En sat down calmly and said calmly: "Holy Terra, the weird country."

"A planet in the distant universe."

"I'm afraid you can't go back."

The residents of Sigil are different from other people. They are born knowing more about other crystal wall systems. They are no longer ordinary space creatures. The people of Sigil are accustomed to seeing creatures from other planes, from the holy angels on Mount Heaven to the Tanar'ri demons in the Abyss. The traces of these powerful creatures can be seen in Sigil.

Pafo said that his master was a Titan. Titans were rare in Sigil. Sean seemed to have a little impression of them. After all, few people could kill such powerful creatures. They were also hard to die of old age, so there were some corresponding records in the alien creatures. Zedara was a female Titan who was quite famous in Sigil. She was considered a big boss. The name of this Titan was recorded in the travel notes of some astral mages.

"A distant country?"

Pafu seemed to have thought of something. He was shocked and said with a hint of fear, "The legendary country of madness? The place where even gods can be contaminated by madness?"

The people in Sigil City have a high starting point and even know something about the other universe.

Xiao En nodded calmly and said, "That's right."

"Since you are here, make the best of it. I suggest you get a good night's sleep first. Your soul fusion is not yet stable, and the negative state of soul weakness is still there."

"When you wake up, I will arrange for someone to tell you everything about this world."

Xiao En has too many things to deal with now. He can't spend several months training a soul from another world like the butcher did. Although he has considered taking him as his disciple, he is still unclear about Pavel's talent. If it is perception, he will have to consider the path of promotion to a priest.

Otherworldly souls are extremely rare.

Although there are more and more alien souls in the weird kingdom in recent years, this is the first time that it has fallen into Sean's hands. The alien souls in the past were basically divided up by other forces. If Sean had not secretly controlled the ring city with the support of Ms. Hecate, this alien soul would probably not have fallen into his hands. Once discovered, it would likely be recruited by other people in the Path of Death.

Souls from other worlds have many special uses. Even if they cannot be recruited, they are the best ritual sacrifices.

Of course, Xiao En would not do this. He values ​​talents very much. As long as he can master them, it is worthwhile to spend a little effort to cultivate them. If Pav's memory is well preserved, he should have a lot of knowledge in his mind that Xiao En does not know. A lot of knowledge in Ms. Hecate's spiritual library is obtained from the souls of other worlds.

Of course, there are many people who are kind to the souls from other worlds, but there are even more people who are malicious to them. "Soul searching" is not difficult in the weird kingdom, and some souls from other worlds have disappeared before they can rise.

There is no real security when the weird kingdom is weak, and the souls from other worlds are sometimes just meat on the chopping board.

Pavlov was clearly a smart man.

After listening to Xiao En's words, he nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Sean waved his hand calmly and continued to train his clone, and soon Yvonne Tanner left with the alien soul.

After sending Paver away, Xiao En said to the shadow in the corner, "If he wants to escape."

"No need to stop him, just let him go out and take a look."

"Give up your worries sooner and get down to business sooner."

The shadows in the corner gathered into a human outline, which leaned forward and nodded respectfully, then quickly disappeared from the spot.

Xiao En looked calmly at himself in the crystal culture tank. After nearly six months and expending countless efforts, he finally created a perfect clone of himself.

This is actually his spare body.

Clone (8th-level spell) (Necromancy): This spell creates a lifeless copy of a creature. If the original creature is killed, its soul immediately transfers to its copy and begins to move again. The original remains, but is inert and cannot receive souls. If the original body dies of natural causes, the copy has no effect.

When making a replica, you must take a piece of flesh from the living body (hair, nails, scales, etc. are not allowed). After the spell is completed, the replica must be kept in the laboratory for 2-8 months.

When the clone is complete, if the original body has died, the soul will immediately enter the clone.

While the original body is still alive, or when the soul cannot return, the replica will grow accordingly, but this body will only become a soulless body, and it will rot if not properly preserved. "

A clone has no soul, only a body.

As long as Sean can maintain the nutrients in the culture tank, this clone can be preserved for a long time.

"There must be a battle for Candlekeep."

"Teacher is also planning to join forces with other demigods to defeat the Lord of the Swamp. With this clone, I have one more trump card."

Xiao En arranged 1 spells of protection in the laboratory, and with the No. seal inside the wizard tower - the mechanical brain, he could ensure that the clones were safe. Normally, no one would easily invade the demiplane of a powerful wizard, but Xiao En was still well prepared.

"The mechanical brain."

"Is there a way to test the innate attributes of that alien soul?"

Xiao En gently raised a finger, and the anti-gravity magic ring automatically floated in front of his eyes. On the other side of the laboratory was a huge mechanical armor, a bit like the power armor in science fiction movies, except that the circuit was replaced by rune engravings, and the mechanical structure used activation spells. To some extent, this equipment was a special living thing, similar to artificial intelligence, and more like an activated alchemical construct.

In fact, in the world of Catastrophe Sunset, during the heyday of Halfling civilization, the Halflings of the Blue Age created a large number of animated equipment, and even a ship was a living creature.

There is a hole in the center of the magic power armor, which is the part that Sean has not completed yet.

Energy source.

In other words, only nuclear power can drive it. Xiao En's research on element fission is very slow. Even with the support of the Guardian of Time and Space, he must reach the corresponding strength to create a small element furnace.

The technical difficulty involved is very high, which is equivalent to opening a small element pool in a power armor. As long as the elemental plane is not exhausted, it has an almost endless source of energy.

Sealed Artifact No. 1 - Mechanical Brain said calmly: "It's difficult."

“Unless you condense the laws of the divine nature and analyze everything in a digital way, you can only calculate the approximate attributes and talents.” Xiao En wanted a system.

But he had to rely on himself to create a system. Before he condensed the laws of the divine nature, he could only calculate the approximate attributes and abilities.

Xiao En said calmly: "Then train him as a pastor first."

"Find a way to guide him to convert to Holy Terra."

Xiao En entered the six-meter-high power armor. His ideal was to create a space warrior-like armor, but it was very difficult to shrink the armor to that size. It was easy for him to create a giant construct, but it was difficult to shrink it to the size of Iron Man. A large number of construct parts needed to be scaled down proportionally, which involved materials science and the operating power of the internal rune engravings. Unless he used expensive materials such as mithril and adamantium, he would not be able to afford it.

The value of one gram of Mithril is approximately equal to one Soul Stone. Even if you turn the entire Holy Terra upside down, you won't find too much Mithril.

"Test machine No. 1 is started!"

As Sean injected magical energy, the entire power armor began to assemble automatically. Its design adopted the concept of activated machinery. It was more of an automatic combat unit than a vehicle, but its intelligence level could only provide relatively simple combat plans.

"--Construct Enlightenment (9th-level spell): This spell can awaken a humanoid construct creature, giving it a certain level of intelligence. The awakened construct creature gains the corresponding inherent attributes, and gains 3d6 basic attributes in intelligence, perception, and charm.

Materials: Humanoid brain, which must not have been dead for more than 8 hours.

brain.

Or should we say 'wetware', which is the key factor in activating this magic power armor. Sean restricted its mechanized mind, which was equivalent to setting up an artificial intelligence auxiliary system inside the power armor. As long as the psychic power and neural bundle transformation surgery is carried out later, the artificial intelligence inside the magic power armor can be directly linked with consciousness.

The effect of this 9th-level spell is similar to the Druid's "Enlightenment".

The difference is that an enlightened construct and an enlightened plant or animal both consume soul power. To cast a spell, you must prepare five large soul crystals. (About 5000 soul power.)
As for the brains that serve as spellcasting materials, Sean saved some some time ago.

"Without an elemental furnace, only I can use this magical power armor, but it will affect my spell transmission, unless I replace all of it with rare materials to reduce the chance of arcane spell failure to zero."

This is Sean's first legendary work, and the cost is about 50 million dinars, which is equivalent to 500,000 gold dollars, or 50,000 soul stones.

Not counting labor costs and the cost of casting spells, it is just pure cost expenditure.

"Even if I concentrate all my financial resources, I can only form a combat team of twelve people at most."

Xiao En suddenly thought of a sentence from his previous life about building aircraft carriers.

——I need the State Planning Commission, the Military Industrial Commission and nine defense industry ministries, 600 related majors, and 8000 supporting manufacturers. In short, I need a great country to accomplish it.

This is just a set of magic-powered armor with cross-dimensional combat capabilities, but it has already consumed Sean's huge wealth and resources.

It is hard to imagine how much resources he would need to build floating fortresses and interstellar battleships. This is simply not something that can be accomplished by one person.

"If I become a Destiny Legend this year."

"Then I will study the legendary spell [Mountain Movement of Proktif] next, which will be another huge expense."

With the help of Seal No. 1 and Seal No. 0, it is not difficult for Xiao En to study legendary spells, but studying each legendary spell requires a huge amount of materials, which can be converted into wealth of at least millions of Golders.

Just for the 'Proktiv Mountain Move', if Sean wants to flatten a mountain and turn it into a floating island, he will need at least three million Kindlers.

——"Mountain Move of Proktiv [Legendary Spell]: You cut off a mountain, causing it to float in the air and flip it over to create a floating island. The great arcanists of ancient Netheril used this spell to create their famous floating cities."

To be honest, after realizing how much resources a legendary wizard consumes, Xiao En wanted to rob him.

But the reality is that it is useless for him to grab some dinars. Gold is only part of the material needed for the ritual. Soul stones are a substitute for soul power. Although they have a wide range of uses, they are mainly used to start the ritual. In a word, in the weird country, money may not be enough to buy what Xiao En needs.

Resources are the real strategic materials, and money is just the currency in circulation.

"Sunset City."

Xiao En frowned slightly and looked into the distance. He needed external help, and cooperation with Canyang City was a beginning.

With the help of Terra's will, Sean can discover most of the planet's mineral resources, but how to mine them is also a problem. He does not have the conditions to eat alone, so he must give out a part of the cake to attract the indigenous forces.

Currently, Sean's golem factory is only one-third complete. Even if the golem factory is fully operational in the future, constructed puppets cannot completely replace human resources.

"I need the teacher's support to take down the entire Dagon!"

The entire Dagon region has a population of about 36 million. At Sean's current snowballing rate, at least hundreds of thousands of extraordinary people will be promoted in the future. Even if only 1% of these people grow up, it can speed up Sean's expansion in the material plane.

"College..."

Xiao En closed his eyes, and in the resonance of the ritual, his mind connected with Ms. Hecate, and he said in a deep voice: "Teacher, about my idea of ​​establishing the academy."

"When do you think is a good time?"

After an unknown amount of time, Ms. Hecate responded softly, "If you want to establish an academy, you need to at least get support from the Path of Death, the Tower of Knowledge, the Ring of Nature, Baiyujing, and the City of Canyang."

"Now is not the time. Your reputation is not enough to support this."

Xiao En was silent for a moment and said, "What about the alchemical path?"

Ms. Hecate seemed to be pondering. She said calmly, "I can lend you a group of alchemists first."

Xiao En took a deep breath and said, "I plan to go to Candlekeep next month."

Lady Hecate was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Be careful."

Candlekeep was not under her protection.

The fledgling will eventually spread its wings and fly. If Sean wants to visit the realm of knowledge, he cannot bypass Candlekeep because it stores too much knowledge from other worlds.

And it is the distortion of the laws of knowledge that makes Candle Castle a landmark in the spiritual world.

I don’t know how long it took.

Lady Hecate whispered darkly, "Let the butcher go with you."

"Your iron golems are no match for the monsters of Candlekeep."

Obviously, Ms. Hecate didn't know that Sean had already prepared a clone. If he died in Candlekeep, there would be no way to reverse his death. He could still be resurrected at the cost of lowering his extraordinary level.

The teacher asked the butcher to act together, which was undoubtedly an extra insurance.

Xiao En nodded silently.

In fact, he has already prepared a legendary combat team, but with the addition of the Butcher, he probably won't have to worry about the meat shields in the front row.
