Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 26: Extraordinary
The noise of the sea tide came from outside the window.
Because there are few people cleaning, the small wooden house near the sea is full of dust.
But Hilliard and Ian didn't care, they sat cross-legged on the bed, facing each other.
"How much do you know about Ascendants?" asked the old knight.
"I only know that there are sublimators." Ian replied simply: "And psionic power."
"At least I can spell the words correctly." Hilliard didn't think Ian would understand much, he nodded slightly and said, "So do you know Alien and Warcraft?"
"I know." Ian naturally knew: "I have seen it before."
How could it be possible for immigrants living in Nanling not to know about strange beasts? Those powerful creatures who are born with psychic powers and roam the wild mountains are legends among all populations.
It is said that some of the totems worshiped by the aborigines are powerful monsters who are kind to humans. Their protection caused the imperial army to return without success, and they had to recognize the autonomy of the aboriginals in the redwood forest.
The strange beasts in the sea are more common.
In Ian's memory, when he was four or five years old, he was at the port with his mother, watching the fishermen teaming up to drive away a huge sea snake from afar.
The blue-black sea snake is more than thirty meters long, its scales are stronger than steel, and its long tail flicks, even creating eddies in the sea to help it devour fish schools.
Neither the harpoon nor the crossbow could harm it. In the end, it was driven away by the big ship of the Chamber of Commerce under the Viscount's command at the risk of sinking.
"All living things come from the same source, and they are all descendants of the sun. No matter plants or animals, monsters or aliens, or even us humans, all need to bathe in the brilliance of the sun, so all creatures are brothers and sisters."
"However, with the passage of time, all things have differentiated, with different talents and abilities."
Hilliard turned his head sideways, but the sunlight passing through the curtains and windows seemed quiet. He stretched out his hand and let the sunlight shine on his palm, dyeing it with a layer of gold.
The old knight said calmly: "In ancient mythology, the ancestors of many intelligent life, such as humans, elves, and dwarves, obtained the fruit of wisdom, and then possessed wisdom."
"And the ancestors of the beasts, those ancestors of alien monsters with strong bodies and even various supernatural powers, got the fruit of life, so they have extraordinary power."
Turning back, the knight looked at Ian, and said seriously: "The combination of wisdom and life force is 'sublimation', and those who sublimate are walkers on the road of sublimation, chasing the ultimate promotion."
"Simply put, a sublimator is an existence that, through wisdom, enables him to obtain power comparable to or even surpassing that of alien beasts."
- Myth? sun worship. Unexpected science.
Ian did not fail his culture and history class. He knew very well that what Hilliard described was only a small part of the complete mythology system, and the inheritance of the ascendant was inextricably linked to it.
Sun worship is not uncommon. Rather, the position of the sun is very important in any myths and legends.
And from the perspective of energy transmission, the sun is indeed the source of all living beings, and all living things are also brothers and sisters under the sun, a loving father and mother.
As for the keywords of Wisdom Fruit and Life Fruit, Ian will write it down for now and plan to ask for advice in the future.
Because now, he has another question to ask.
"Teacher."
Ian frowned suspiciously, and he asked softly, "How do you combine wisdom and the power of life?"
"Eat."
Hilliard said succinctly: "This is the true meaning of the cultivation of the sublimated."
"The alien beast itself contains the power of the fruit of life. Through wisdom, its elements are refined, its essence is extracted, and the materials of the alien beast are used to make potions and supplements with alchemy techniques, so that humans can also absorb life The power of the fruit, and gradually raise your own rank on the road to sublimation."
"As for the effect, Ian, you can touch my arm."
Hilliard raised his hand and showed his arm to Ian: "I am the knight of a certain big man, I used to be a high-level sublimator, but in the past battles, I was almost destroyed by the source plasm epidemic poison. All sublimated organs, even higher-level sublimated structures such as the 'phase nervous system' built in the body, have been completely ablated."
"In other words, I am basically a mortal, and I no longer have the divine power of a high-level ascendant."
"But even so."
Clenching his fists and puffing up his muscles, the old man emphasized at this moment: "The essence of my life has also been transformed, far stronger than ordinary people, and even some low-level sublimated people."
At this moment, Hilliard's face at this moment has returned to its real face, and it is no longer the appearance of Oceana.
He is not as handsome and handsome as an elf, but he can also be said to have a good appearance. The man has a straight nose, long gray-brown hair slightly curly, and a calm and solemn military temperament on his body. It seems too old, just to engrave the majesty of time for the knight.
"Okay, teacher."
Promising to speak out, Ian stretched out his hand without hesitation and touched Hilliard's arm.
——He wanted to touch it a long time ago, the body of the sublime person in this world must be extraordinary!
However, when Ian really touched it, he realized that the 'skin' he touched only looked like skin.
"This kind of touch" the boy couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It was layer after layer of fine smooth scales, layers of crystallized carapace, strong and flexible, no matter whether it was water or fire, it seemed to be difficult to invade, it could be said to be a layer of chain mail.
Under the skin, it is not flesh and blood in the traditional sense, but an extremely soft or extremely hard non-Newtonian fluid. Ian even had the illusion that he was touching a humanoid crane. Healy When Yade exerted his power in his heyday, he might easily blow up a house, or even far more than that.
Raising his head, Ian and Hilliard looked at each other. The brown eyes of the old knight looked ordinary at first glance, but Ian was keenly aware that the pupils of the other party would follow the surrounding light all the time to observe the target. Shrink and zoom in from far and near, and adjust the angle, just like a high-precision surveillance camera, covering everything in the field of vision in every detail.
With this kind of strength, Ian's breathing was a little short for a moment.
This unprecedented possibility
It is exactly what he has been pursuing and exploring!
Noticing the boy's gaze mixed with expectation and longing, Hilliard nodded in satisfaction.
Obviously, the clever boy in front of him has already noticed the key.
"The teacher's body is very special."
Let go of your hands and calm down, Ian concluded seriously: "Although it looks like ordinary skin, muscles and eyes, they all have abilities beyond ordinary people."
"Under the seemingly human body, there is an extraordinary power hidden."
