Arcane Lord

After verifying the magic mark, Xia Duo finally entered the library he had longed for. Although it was underground, except that the internal space was smaller, the overall layout of the library was not much different from the college library on the ground.

The most important thing is that you only need to confirm your identity when entering. After entering, there are no restrictions on all the books and materials inside.

At least, Xia Duo passed by two or three rows of bookshelves one after another, but he didn't find any books that he couldn't pick up.

At the same time, he also discovered that most of the books collected here were compiled materials from various research projects within the institute, and there were relatively few materials outside of specific projects.

However, thanks to the more reasonable book classification method, Xia Duo could easily find a large amount of information related to resurrection spells in the life and soul fields.

The situation he was worried about before about not being able to find the information did not appear, but most of the information belonged to branch technologies of resurrection spells, or in other words - support technologies.

For example, human tissue repair, vitality resuscitation, soul pulling, soul summoning, etc.

And from these materials, Shado also sorted out the restoration and development of resurrection spells by the imperial survivors, and yes, there were also technical repairs.

In the past empire days, resurrection did not necessarily require the body or part of the body of the resurrected object, but in today's era, resurrection spells cannot reach the level of the past, and a certain amount of active body tissue must be preserved.

Blood or flesh will do.

Current researchers have conducted a lot of research, and despite excavating the remains of the Resurrection Department, they still have not been able to restore the original resurrection technique.

But in this process, a large number of intermediate spells that did not exist in the past were also invented, such as more efficient healing techniques and even human cloning.

However, the current era is not without achievements that surpass those of the past, the most typical of which are spells related to soul pulling and soul summoning.

…

During the empire, if you wanted to resurrect a dead person, although you didn't need a body, you definitely needed a soul, and obtaining the soul was quite troublesome.

Either the soul was intercepted at the death scene and disappeared quickly, or the deceased was carrying a [Soul Amulet] when he died.

In the former case, if there is someone at the scene who can intercept the soul, it will not be difficult to save the person involved. There is no need to wait for him to die and then resurrect.

As for the latter, [Soul Amulet] is essentially a high-quality magic item. For insurance purposes, it even needs to have a teleportation function.

Even in the heyday of the empire, a fine magic item was not easily available to most people.

This was also an important reason why resurrection was not popularized at that time.

Of course, Xia Duo did not rule out the possibility that a few vested interests would artificially set up obstacles for technological breakthroughs in resurrection spells in order to demonstrate their privileges.

But now, there are fewer people, and there are even fewer high-level mages. The higher-ups only hope that the resurrection spell will develop quickly, rather than hinder it.

Before "McCard" left the survival base, a small bottle of blood was collected for the purpose of resurrection. And the most important point is that the first resurrection of all high-level mages is now completely free.

This is due to the emergence of soul summoning and soul pulling related spells.

For high-level mages who died outside and still have a chance of resurrection, as long as someone with knowledge of the matter reports it, the rear base will immediately activate the summoning circle to summon their souls and then resurrect them. The cost is more than one level lower than in the past.

Of course, if no one reports it, as long as the time exceeds a certain limit, it will never be resurrected.

As for soul pulling, it is usually temporarily arranged when there is a major operation. It does not need to be reported and summoned, but it has a pulling effect with it. As soon as the person dies, the soul will immediately go back and be resurrected.

As Elise said before that she had a mission to go out, Sha Duo was sure that she must have been blessed with the soul pulling effect first. Otherwise, such a senior arcanist, such a precious human resource, would not be wasted casually.

…

Inside the institute library.

Sha Duo almost greedily flipped through the information related to resurrection, but as he looked at it, he discovered a problem, and it was a very important problem.

In all the information, there is a lot about soul summoning and soul pulling, but all of them only describe the effects, without the details of technical implementation.

Even the final step of resurrection is available, but the part of how to obtain the soul is missing.

There is another one that Xia Duo also suspects was deliberately hidden, and that is about soul healing technology.

In the memory of "Mecard", Cormanthor has many special means to restrain the resurrection of the empire's remnants, such as the [negative energy erosion] he suffered before.

People who die from being corroded by negative energy cannot be resurrected because their souls are contaminated, so they need ways to heal their souls. Correspondingly, there will also be those on Cormanso's side who continue to restrain themselves.

In addition, there may be ways to restrain soul summoning or even soul pulling.

From this perspective, the institute may have hidden relevant technical details to prevent Comanso from learning about them.

However, as for the institute, once you join, you cannot leave the survival base. Is there any other trick the enemy can play at the heart of the empire?

If there really was such a spy, then Cormanthor might have plowed the streets and cleared out all the remnants of the empire.

But in any case, aside from some of Delong Wangshu's little thoughts, Xia Duo's mission of entering the projection plane this time can be said to have been completed!

…

The so-called resurrection spell has roughly three key technical points -

One is how to restore the body and maintain its activity;

One is how to collect souls and keep them intact;

The above two points can be almost achieved by Netheril in the main plane. It is just a matter of how high the degree of completion is. This has solved the problem of going from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 100. Essentially, there is not much Great difficulty.

The last one is the most difficult to solve, that is, if the soul is put back into the body, it can still return to normal.

Under normal circumstances, after the soul leaves the body, the connection with the body is interrupted. In this case, even if the soul is stuffed back, the dead will not be resurrected.

It is similar to taking out the heart and putting it back again, breaking the original normal state of the human body. Even if it is put back, it will still be a corpse.

How to reconstruct the connection between the soul and the body is the absolute key to the resurrection spell!

Sha Duo entered [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire] before. At that time, he did not understand the development history of resurrection spell.

But now, he knows that the initial research on resurrection spells was to put living people into the dying state in various ways again and again, and to summarize the rules of the connection between the soul and the body. Reversing this process is resurrection.

The more perfect the connection between the soul and the body is reconstructed, the fewer the sequelae after resurrection will be.
