Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

"Appearance and clothing can be disguised, behavior can be imitated, and the authority of the demon god can be taken away and given."

"As for the star of destiny shining in the sky... you and I both know that the entire sky is a false thing, just a reflection of the dreams of all living beings."

Famas seemed to know what Zhongli was thinking, and immediately denied all the examples of Heulia's resurrection.

The Emperor surprisingly did not refute. Although he did not approve of many of the boy's actions during the Demon God Battle Period, he also knew that what Famas said about the False Sky was indeed true.

"If this lady is not Heulia, then who could she be?"

Zhongli repeatedly replayed in his mind what he had seen and heard about Heulia in the Golden House, trying to find any flaws that contradicted the Salt Mother's behavior thousands of years ago.

The emperor at that time was shocked by the resurrection of the demon god and subconsciously ignored many details. Looking back now, Heulia's power is indeed weaker than before, and her life characteristics are also quite strange.

Compared to the Demon God, Heulia now gave Zhongli the feeling of being a monster in the wilderness. This illusion reached its peak when Heulia handed over the power of the Demon God. However, Zhongli did not think much about it at the time, and simply attributed it to the Demon God's weak period after his resurrection.

After all, when Famas escaped from the earth seal, he was just a weak fire slime.

"I'm not her father, how do I know who she is?"

Facing Zhongli's question, Famas stared at him with disdain as if he were a fool, then rejected the question in a matter-of-fact tone, and even imitated Tartaglia's way of trying to please Zhongli, and spread out his hands in a pretentious manner.

"you……!"

Zhongli had not expected this kind of reaction from Famas. He was about to criticize him for his crude language, but then he remembered that he still had to rely on Famas to explain the resurrection. The words were choked on his lips, and only a few syllables came out.

"What do you mean? Are you anxious? Are you broken?"

The corners of Famas' mouth curled up in a pleased tone. He walked to Zhongli's side with his hands behind his back, and even stood on tiptoe to put his smiling face in front of Zhongli to look him in the eye.

Zhongli turned his gaze away in disgust.

He would never get angry with some childish guy.

At this moment, Wendy also reached out and tugged at Famas' sleeve, signaling him not to make trouble.

"Well, this has to start with the principle of resurrection."

Seeing that Zhongli didn't respond, Famas, who had made himself look bored, regained his serious look and began to describe the resurrection process from the beginning.

"In the early days of Munata, there were two mainstream ways of resurrection. The first was to follow the laws of war. The losers returned to dust, and the winners gathered together and reignited. However, this method has many limitations, and I don't use it often."

"The second one was Rhinedot's ingenious idea, which was later named the [Resurrection Ceremony]."

Speaking of Rheindort, FAMAS seemed to be in a much better mood.

"Even during the Demon God War when many talented people emerged, Huang Jin was an absolute genius."

"Through the pinnacle of alchemy, we can extract the original materials and create a body that can accommodate the soul. Then, Buyer will extract the soul of the deceased from the World Tree and use my authority to complete the fusion of the soul and the body, thus achieving the goal of bringing the dead back to life."

"The process is clear, the effect is good, and it is very practical."

The young man talked eloquently, but the Traveler and Zhongli discovered at the same time that although FAMAS praised the resurrection method proposed by Rhinedot, there was not much appreciation and satisfaction in his blood-red eyes.

"After several years of practicing the Resurrection Ceremony, Gold, I, and Buyel proudly announced that the Alliance has usurped the power of death. As long as they do not take the initiative to end their lives, all Munatar people, even non-Munatar people, can live forever. After all, the World Tree records the past of everyone in Teyvat."

"This grand miracle lasted for hundreds of years, and no one ever raised any objection to the resurrection ceremony until a great magician of equal talent expressed a new point of view, and the carnival about resurrection gradually ceased." "The magician's name was Ansinio, and he later became the "Pope" of Munata. As for his life story... we will talk about it later."

"Ansinio published a paper called "On the Deconstruction of the Soul", which elaborated on the nature of the soul and its significance in alchemy. He believed that in the concept of alchemy, mercury, sulfur and salt are collectively called the three sacred elements."

"Mercury represents the human soul. From the perspective of alchemical philosophy, it is the rational soul in the alchemical view of the soul. Salt represents the body, the soul of desire. Sulfur represents the heart, the soul of will..."

Famas spoke enthusiastically, but it was difficult for the listeners to follow his thoughts, especially the foodies and entertainment experts led by Paimon, who just stared blankly in confusion.

"…In simple terms, Ansinio discovered the mutual influence between matter and soul, and thus came up with the theory that the nature of the soul can be changed without alchemical rituals or magic."

"This theory may not sound impressive, but you should know that soul strength is positively correlated with magical talent. A resilient soul is more likely to attract the attention of the gods and be granted external organs that can wield elemental forces."

"If Ansinio's theory is true, then the Research Institute can study what substance is affecting the soul, and find a low-cost, large-scale method to strengthen the strength of human souls. This will allow Munata to have more original gods and a complete army of magicians."

Everyone present was considered well-informed, but after hearing Famas's description, they couldn't help but marvel at the young man's grand ambition.

Not to mention forming a legion of magicians, even during the 3,700 years that Zhongli governed Liyue, the number of serious magicians with heritage and support that he had seen was no more than a hundred.

In the minds of the Traveler and Paimon, there are only a handful of people who can be called "magicians".

Although the continent of Teyvat is a world of magic and fantasy, and many original gods can use elemental forces at will to create magic-like effects, the true magic inheritance is extremely closed, and systematic magic knowledge is monopolized by a small number of people.

Except for the Xumi Academy where there are occasional mages recruiting magic apprentices, the rest of the magicians are inherited from their families or rely on fate to pass on knowledge through the master-apprentice system.

Miss Mona and her master Barbie Los are the most powerful examples.

After all, in the traditional magic world, it is normal for a powerful wizard who intends to pass on his power to look for a sole heir.

In the traditional relationship between wizards and apprentices in the magic world, the mentor has almost absolute control over the apprentice, and the master-apprentice contract is equivalent to a contract of selling one's body. There are also many kinds of punishments for apprentices. For example, the most famous one is to use magic to deprive the five senses, use drugs to sober up the mind, and make the recipient completely lose the perception of the world.

This form of punishment could cause irreversible damage to the apprentice's mental state, but judging from Mona's daily behavior, Barbiros was clearly a kind teacher.

Due to the closed nature of magic, many great inheritances have been cut off, and even more talented children will never receive proper instruction throughout their lives.

For those children born in ordinary families who want to learn knowledge, the luckiest ones can be taken away by scholars of the Xumi School of the Church to be trained, or receive an invitation to enter the school. As a holy place of knowledge, the library of the School of the Church ...

For example, Miss Lisa, the administrator of Mond Library.

If you are lucky again, you will be noticed by a magician who is looking for an heir and become a magic apprentice under a witch, or you will be taken away by the church and trained to become a salaried clergyman or church knight.

It's like using the wish magic Miss Barbara.

But there are always wizards who treat apprentices as some kind of cheap laborers. Among a group of apprentices, only a few can stand out and learn real knowledge. Especially the evil black magicians, they will even use apprentices as spell materials and experimental subjects.

The vast majority of the remaining children discovered their talents accidentally, stumbled into this world, were ignorant, deceived and exploited, and used the messy powers they figured out to make their way around.

They are either chosen by some organization to be subordinates and executives, or become third-rate bounty hunters, wild wizards or members of treasure-stealing groups, or simply targeted by some evil creatures to become supplements.

For these people, the continent of Teyvat, which belongs to magic and mystery, is extremely magnificent, but also extremely cruel.

Therefore, most magicians have strange temperaments and refuse to be managed.

Therefore, it is very difficult to form a magician army. It is probably equivalent to sneaking into the room while the Rock King is sleeping, pulling out one of his dragon whiskers without disturbing him, and then retreating safely. (End of this chapter)
