Chapter 939 Phlogiston
"Are you OK?"
"I have something to do"
[I can feel it too. Although I'm not the one who's tired, I can sense that his body seems to be hollowed out.]
Standing beside him with his hands on his hips, Phaethon asked, "Are you still okay?"
"Of course, how can you say no?"
"No, you see there are 199 more. Can you give me a definite answer?"
[You said this as if you wanted him to go and receive guests.]
"This is a war, not a dinner party." Phaethon said seriously, "The action has already begun. If he can go, he must go. If he can't go, he has to go even if he has to bite the bullet. Because this is his own business."
[Ah, this. The familiar feeling is back. This is the usual Phaethon. This is the usual her.]
"Needless to say, I will continue." Shang Luo looked up at her and said, "Give me a hand."
Shangluo stood up again, holding Phaethon's hand. As soon as he stood firm, his steps were a little unsteady, and Phaethon beside him supported him.
"Are you really drained?" He was so hollow that even Phaethon was surprised.
As a celestial being, Shang Luo's physical state was always energetic. Daily life did not cause any pressure to him at all. Even when he was driving the Colossus and punching Amon Zeus in New Antioch, he was not seen to be so tired.
It seems that what is lost is not just physical strength.
"It feels like my body is being hollowed out - that's the feeling, a very appropriate metaphor." He put one hand on Phaethon's shoulder and the other hand in front of his eyes to look. He even felt that his judgment of the distance was a little flawed.
"So it's not even a loss of strength?"
"I feel that my physical strength in a narrow sense has not changed." Shangluo replied, "I feel 'empty' mentally. It feels like I stayed in bed all night playing games."
After he said this, Phaethon understood.
“Staying up late and lying in bed playing games” contains two elements: staying up late playing games is consuming your energy; lying in bed means your physical strength is recovering.
"I probably know what's going on."
[Yes, I probably guessed it.]
"What?" Shangluo was a little confused because both of them knew about it, and it seemed that he was the only one who didn't know. Because usually, it should be Apollonia who didn't know, not him. "Let me put it this way." Phaethon thought for a while, "When you played Heroes' Tour, did you notice that the wizards in Heroes' Tour could only cast a limited number of spells between each rest?"
"Ah, I remember, it was called the phlogiston value."
"That's it. In fact, it's a necessary consumable for Roman mystics to cast spells. The amount of phlogiston that each person can provide is limited, so sometimes in order to provide the large amount of phlogiston required for a spell, it is necessary to gather a lot of people for group casting."
"Wait, how do we restore this phlogiston?"
[There is no way to recover.] Apollonia continued, [Only time - meaning, there is no way to instantly recover phlogiston through medicine or other means, you can only gradually increase it as time goes by. However, the recovery speed of phlogiston is controllable. Some people can recover like gallium nitride fast charging, while others can only recover at a trickle.]
"In other words, phlogiston is essentially transformed from the passage of time," Phaethon added. "Any other means that cannot replace the passage of time cannot replenish phlogiston."
"What's the principle?"
"Because of Taiyi. Taiyi God Kronos, the God of Time." Phaethon answered, "This is a supreme god deduced by the mystical school through theory - that is, the mystical school has not actually observed any signs of Taiyi's existence, but it should exist in theory."
"Like the way of heaven?"
"Completely. So alchemy and alchemy are very close in some ways. In the theory of mysticism, the god Kronos is the first driving force of everything and the father of the creator god Phanes."
【It is worth noting that the father-son relationship here is still a metaphor of relative position, not that mysticism really discovered such a father and son. The metaphor is that time is the first cause that drives everything. As time changes, as the years, months and days pass, many mysterious phenomena will be promoted. The most basic of these is the phlogiston value, which will recover with the passage of time. Some magic also needs the astronomical phenomena of the year, month and day to trigger, such as the previously mentioned 'Aotearoa (Mianmian Baiyun Township)', which needs to be aligned like a key at all times to unlock. 】
"Ah," Shang Luo covered his forehead, "So what this means is that if I want to use this magic, I need to restore my phlogiston through the passage of time? Then how fast can my phlogiston be restored?"
[I have recorded it for you. It was when I last examined you through the Lighthouse system. Your phlogiston recovery was at the level of an ordinary person.]
"What's the logic? I'm already in the foundation building stage, and I'm about to reach the golden elixir stage."
[The principles are different. This is something in two different systems - you have not been promoted in the system of mysticism, so the speed of phlogiston recovery has not changed. This does not even have anything to do with you being the King of Rome, because this is a completely personal matter. Even if it is Victoria, her phlogiston recovery speed will not be faster than that of a real magician. ]
Phaethon shook his head. "So this is the trouble with cross-system technology. You have to practice both to use it freely. But then again, 200 heavenly soldiers of this level are still a bit outrageous. Rome has accumulated so many astronauts for so long and has not accumulated many of them. You need 200 of them at once. It is indeed a bit tricky."
"So in this system, is there any way for me to cast the spell as quickly as possible?"
"Yes," Phaethon answered, "It's not that you just need to pay for the phlogiston. The so-called phlogiston, in the final analysis, is a permission - it comes from the spirit world, and is not made of earth, fire, water, and wind, but is made of ether. It must be invited by humans who possess phlogiston before it can obtain a form under the sun. This part is used in the magic, alchemy, and astrology. It is used especially in the magic, because phlogiston is needed to summon the devil."
[By the way, elves cannot use magical powers because they are not recognized by the world and do not have phlogiston value. So when Karin was in New Antioch before, although she could use the forbidden codex, the phlogiston she consumed was Phaethon's phlogiston.]
