Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 45

Lumian had just made preliminary confirmation that Michel Garrigou had not been dragged into the water by Guillaume Bennet and others. He planned to visit the priest of the copy church late at night, but when he returned home, he heard his sister saying that there was a problem with the other party.

Aurore glanced at Lumian and laughed:

"When I found out he had a problem, your stupid brother was standing in front of him.

"It seems you didn't notice..."

She seemed so happy that she had to raise her right hand and half-cover her mouth. After all, her younger brother, who was clearly illiterate in mysticism, suddenly became an extraordinary person, mastered a lot of high-end knowledge, and sensed the power of Kordu Muramasa. She was in a time loop, and not only did her sister not play any role, but she was also outclassed in the field of mystical knowledge that she was best at, which inevitably made her a little unhappy.

Now, she has finally regained her sister's dignity.

Lumian looked at his sister's smile, nodded and said:

"I didn't find anything unusual in his behavior."

Aurore said "hmm":

"His astral body, how should I put it? In short, it is brighter than normal people. And he is not an extraordinary person, and he has not exercised his body systematically and for a long time."

"Maybe he is born with a good physique?" Lumian first guessed, then asked doubtfully, "What is an astral body?"

Aurore asked in shock:

"you do not know?"

"I don't know." Lumian shook his head.

Aurore smiled again and said in an incomprehensible tone:

"That lady taught you the 'Path of God', the 'Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics', and the 'Method of Acting', but she didn't tell you the most basic concepts of the astral body?"

"She is in a hurry, so she can only focus on the key points." Lumian made excuses for the mysterious lady.

Aurore smiled even more happily:

"It could also be that these basics of occultism are of little use to wild 'hunters', who just need to track, trap and fight."

She didn't know how to describe her brother's current state. She could say that he was illiterate in mysticism. He knew quite a lot, and each thing he mastered was more terrifying than the last. She said that his knowledge was already on top of most extraordinary people. Well, he doesn't even know what a star spirit body is.

Aurore took a breath and said seriously:

"Only I can complete your mystical enlightenment.

"Remember, in the field of occultism, the part outside the human body is divided into four layers. The innermost and core layer is the 'spiritual body'. It is almost equivalent to the concept of spirit, and it is the spirituality in which everything has spirituality. , is the spirituality that enhances spirituality, and can be said to be the origin of building the soul.

"For the secret peeper, the main thing that magic potion improves is the 'spiritual body'.

"The 'astral body' is located in the outer layer of the 'spiritual body' and is the manifestation of the latter in the real world and the spiritual world. It is also closely related to your own will and current emotions.

"So, do you understand? What I mean when I say that the priest's 'astral body' is brighter than normal people is that there is something wrong with his 'spiritual body', that is, his spirit, and this is reflected in the 'astral body' , it has nothing to do with whether he is born with a good physical constitution. Of course, it may be that he is born with strong spirituality.

"Through the 'astral body', we can also grasp the true emotions of the target. For example, red represents enthusiasm and excitement, orange represents warmth and contentment, yellow represents happiness and extroversion, green represents calmness and peace, blue represents calm thinking, and white represents light. Positive and uplifting, dark colors represent melancholy, sadness and silence, purple represents spiritual dominance, coldness and alienation...

"These colors are difficult to fake, but they are inherently general and do not allow us to distinguish subtle emotions and delicate feelings."

Lumian listened so attentively that he almost picked up a pen to take notes.

"Just listen to it now." Aurore was a little tired from talking and sat down at the dining table. "I will give you my first witchcraft notebook later. It contains this kind of basic knowledge."

"Yeah." Lumian sat down and nodded obediently, "Where is the 'Astral Spirit Body' outside?"

Aurore picked up her carved glass water glass and took a sip:

"It is the 'mental body', from which the spirit and body are united.

"The 'mental body' involves the mind, which is related to reasoning ability, thinking ability, insight ability and ability to understand things. Some potions mainly improve this, and there are also many spells targeting it.

"The outermost layer is the 'etheric body', which is the expression of life energy and physical state, so I can tell from it at a glance that your body has been greatly improved. Well, through the thickness of different parts of the 'etheric body', The brightness and color can also determine the health status of the target. As a Sequence 7 of the 'Peeper', I can even determine the life span of the target from the specific condition of the 'etheric body'.

"How to tell specifically? Look back at your notes."

Lumian suddenly realized:

"The 'Hunter' potion mainly targets the 'etheric body'?"

"You're saying the opposite. It's aimed at the physical body and life energy, and the 'etheric body' is the intuitive expression of these two." Aurore replied.

Lumian nodded and recalled, initially mastering this part of mystical knowledge.

He remembered what his sister had just said and asked curiously:

"Aurore, how did you observe the priest of the replica church? Why didn't I notice you were nearby at all?"

Aurore smiled:

"Actually, I have been at home, using the special ability of the 'Peeper' path."

"What's special?" Lumian asked with the attitude that it didn't matter if his sister didn't answer.

Aurore pointed to her eyes:

"The most distinctive ability of 'The Secret Peeper' is called the 'Eye of Secret Peeping'.

"Although I need to go to a higher sequence to open the complete 'Peeping Eye', so that it can not only work on me, but also be placed on the surface of other things to help me monitor remotely, this does not mean that here The eyes of the 'Peeper' didn't have anything special before.

"Starting from Sequence 9, the 'Secret Peeper' can see more than most extraordinary people of the same sequence. The simplest example is that the 'Hunter' cannot see anything until he reaches the stage of qualitative transformation with divinity. The 'etheric body', and still in a less subtle way, and I can now examine the various details of the 'astral body', and I can also see things around me that I can't normally see."

Having said this, Aurore glanced towards the kitchen.

This made Lumian inexplicably frightened.

There was obviously nothing in that direction, but he felt that there might be something invisible that he couldn't see!

Aurore continued

"Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing. It is very easy to get into trouble when you see something you shouldn't see. Therefore, I have always restrained myself and don't look at things I shouldn't see. But as the sequence increases, you don't have to look at it if you don't want to."

Lumian thought for a while and asked doubtfully:

"Didn't you say that the 'Peeping Eye' can only be released at a higher level?

"Why can you observe people in church from home?"

Aurore raised her right hand and made a pointing motion with her index finger:

"I keep telling you that knowledge equals power, but you still don't believe it!

"Under normal circumstances, I really can't observe things hundreds of meters away at home, but humans can use tools, and I have two 'assistants'."

As she spoke, she took out two things from different hidden pockets in her blue dress.

One is a brass-colored monocular telescope that can be retracted and extended, and the other is a pocket-sized version of a dark ink bottle------this is more like a child's toy.

"You see, a telescope can help me see people hundreds of meters away clearly. When the 'sight distance' is shortened, I can observe the target's astral body, etheric body and mental body state." Aurore laughed. "This is suitable for open areas without obstacles," he said.

Lumian was a little stunned.

Is this okay?

We were obviously discussing occultism, why did my sister take out a telescope?

"Where's this?" He pointed to the pocket ink bottle.

Aurore didn't answer, pinched her temples, and unscrewed the bottle cap.

Lumian suddenly felt a little cold, and a cool breeze seemed to blow in through the window.

"It is a unique spiritual creature." Aurore introduced.

"It? Where is it?" Lumian looked around.

Aurore was quite surprised:

"You still don't know how to open spiritual vision?

"But didn't you say you saw a lot of undead in that wilderness?"

Lumian had read the term "clairvoyance" in the magazine "Psychic" and knew what it meant. However, he was completely at a loss as to how to activate psychic vision.

He looked at his sister and shook his head slowly:

"don't know."

Then, he guessed:

"Maybe it's the so-called 'other world' where ordinary people can directly see ghosts and undead."

Aurore thought about it seriously and asked further:

"So, you don't understand Hermetic, Ancient Hermetic, Elvish, Draconic and Giant language either?"

"What are these?" Lumian fully demonstrated what it means to be illiterate in the field of mysticism.

Aurore couldn't help but hold her forehead:

"What did that lady teach you?"

"The law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics, the law of aggregation, the acting method, the path of gods, sequence 0, sealed objects..." Lumian answered honestly.

"..." Aurore felt like she was being shown off, "I think you want to be beaten!"

She sighed for a few seconds, regained her composure and said:

"Then I, as a contracted creature, will tell you how to open spiritual vision, how to perform ritual magic, and how to use languages with supernatural power.

"This is just a rough talk. If you really want to master those languages completely, it will take only one or two years. Of course, this also has a problem with your sequence path. The 'Hunter' should not have improved his learning ability. , and there is no bonus in mysticism. Your sister and I relied on hard work and indoctrination to get started in just half a year."

Her right hand gently touched the void in front of her, like touching a transparent kitten:

"For extraordinary people, opening spiritual vision is very simple, but it's not completely dark yet, so let's talk about other things first.

"I call it 'white paper'. It is a very weak spiritual creature. As long as you have an accurate description, you can perform a ritual to summon it in your own name.

"In addition to the difficult-to-see characteristics of the spiritual world creature itself, it has only one function, which is to carry some supernatural ability of the contractor, but it cannot be too complicated or too powerful."
