Alka came to Sofia with a puzzled look on his face and frowned.
Looking at Er on Sofia's shoulder.
At this time, Er was holding Sofia's hair and looking at Alka next to him. She turned her head and stared at him.
She tilted her head and smiled, not like Jason approached, and moved back in disgust.
"Why don't you dislike Alka?" Jason couldn't help asking.
Julia next to him looked at him and said, "Maybe Alka is her creator."
She didn't actually want to say this reason. After all, if the doll was similar to Sofia, then there would be other reasons.
Alka reached out, and Er seemed to understand what he meant and jumped directly into his hand.
She was very cooperative and fully demonstrated her more spiritual behavior.
"Don't use magic, just stand there and relax while I check." Alka said to Er in his hand.
Er nodded: "Okay."
A precision hand appeared on Alka's right hand, and then a pair of glasses appeared in his hand. There was an extra lens in front of the lens of the right eye, which seemed to be able to magnify.
Put the glasses on your eyes and overlap the extra lenses in front of the right lens.
Using the precision hand, he began to control her hair carefully, and the magic light screen kept scanning Er's hair like a scan.
He wanted to see if there was really hair inside, and at the same time wanted to see if the hair had any strange effect.
After more than 20 minutes, Alka's head was sweating, and he lifted the glasses up.
He exhaled.
Put Er on the deck.
"How is it? Did you check it out?" Sofia asked curiously beside him.
Alka's eyes were full of confusion at this time.
"Why? It's really the hair that caused the change, but why? It's just hair, just a few strands of hair, not even the material?"
Repeating, Alka sat on the edge of the garden, propping up his head and puzzled.
"It's not scientific at all, not logical at all."
Listening to Alka's strange words, Lucilia sat next to him and replied: "That can't be said. In many stories and records, isn't it said? Pulling out the enemy's hair to curse or something like that, maybe the hair has a strange symbol, or even connects the soul of the person."
Hearing Lucilia's words, Alka turned his head and looked at her. It seems that there is such a possibility.
Although it is unscientific, it is very magical and very consistent with mysticism.
After all, in magic mysticism, hair generally has a strange function, with strange references and intentions.
It is indeed as Lucilia said, some curses can be activated by hair, and most of these curses have a certain relationship with the soul.
Otherwise it is difficult to explain why just a few strands of hair can make Er produce such a big change, and obviously lean towards Sofia's transformation.
"Anyway, this is a good thing, isn't it?" Sofia looked at Er sitting on his lap and said with a smile.
Alka nodded. This is indeed an unexpected discovery. As for whether it is a good thing... it is still uncertain.
"Then do you want to make one with my hair?"
Jason asked expectantly.
Before Alka refused, Lucilia stood up with her hands on her waist and said: "No, my puppet army must be all female, and must be puppet girls, so that they are handsome, not male."
After all, this is the puppet army that Lucilia promoted with treasures, and the puppets are not divided by gender, and there is no difference in strength.
The all-female puppet knights do look more interesting.
Arka shrugged at Jason when he heard this, indicating that it was not up to him to decide.
After all, he was just a basic maker.
When making puppets, Arka did not deliberately make them look like men or women.
Whether the appearance is more like women depends more on other factors, including materials, including Lucelia's inspiration.
And Lucelia's ideas.
After all, normal puppets are more like Lucelia, not to mention gender, they are definitely female.
"Okay." Jason shrugged and said.
He didn't have to, he just suggested it, and he thought it was interesting.
"Then make one with my hair?" Julia said with a smile.
Lucilia nodded: "No problem."
However, Alka said: "Don't worry, the materials are consumed faster than I thought. The next doll may have to wait until we reach the Infinite Sea to make it."
"And I can't be sure it's really a good thing. I have to observe Er carefully before I can draw a conclusion."
Although Er's changes are really very gratifying, whether it brings benefits or disadvantages can only be verified by time and more detailed observation.
After all, Alka knows very little about this aspect, and has no idea whether such a symbol is a good thing or a bad thing.
Thinking about it, Alka turned to look at Lusilia and said: "Let Er follow Sofia for the time being and see what specific effects it will produce, how about it?"
Lucilia had no opinion on this and nodded: "No problem."
Then Alka looked at Sofia and waited for her answer.
Sofia turned her head and looked at Er who jumped onto her shoulder again and nodded with a smile. She was of course very happy.
"Okay, that's decided."
In this way, Er's fate was temporarily left to Sofia to take care of, and Sofia would observe Er at any time and record it.
Alka would also observe and record in daily life, and often study her.
…
It was another night, and since Alka was not on duty, she fell asleep early.
After sinking into the dream.
Looking at the transparent crystal floating in the center of the entire dream world.
At this time, inside the crystal, you can see the stars like fireflies flying around inside.
Each starlight is a bit of dream energy, which comes from Alka's hunting in this dream during the months in the outside world.
In addition to these dream energies, there are still some practical spoils around, which have not been consumed by Alka and turned into energy.
Because the dream here is desolate and monsters are rare, most of the spoils are some interesting materials.
These materials are between virtual and real, and such characteristics can make strange equipment in reality.
But except for these materials, other things cannot be brought into reality unless a lot of dream energy is spent.
If you want enough dream energy, you have to accumulate it day by day.
You can't squander it at will to avoid waste.
However, Alka sank into the dream tonight because he had something to do.
First of all, it was a routine observation.
A huge mirror appeared in front of him, and the picture in the mirror was the dream god of death being observed.
Every time Alka came in, he would first take a look at what the dream god of death was doing and do some peeping activities.
If she was sleeping, he would ignore her. If she was moving, he would observe carefully, and think and record while observing.
So that Lucilia could compile it into a book and write it into the illustration.
This kind of observation would continue until the dream god of death found the mirror fragments attached to his body, or the mirror fragments on his body fell off for some reason.
At this time, the dream god of death was resting in a spherical shape. After Alka took a look, he shrunk the mirror and made it float beside him.
Once there was movement, the mirror would remind himself.
Then he floated out of his dream bubble, fell downwards, and entered Lucilia's dream.
He reached out and touched Lucilia to wake her up.
Because she was used to it, Lucilia would no longer be confused intermittently, but would be clear-headed directly.
Seeing Lucilia waving her hand and preparing to change the dream, Alka immediately said: "Don't rush to change it. Draw a small territory for me in your dream and put the books you have read in it in different categories."
"Read books? What information do you want to check?"
Lucilia looked at Alka and asked doubtfully. If there is anything she doesn't understand or needs to check, just ask her directly.
If it is something she has read, she can naturally recall it.
Alka shook her head: "I don't know what I need to read, but the changes today let me know that the materials of spells and the knowledge of mysticism and magic are not enough."
But the problem is that most of the relevant books in the home are not deep enough. The slightly advanced knowledge mostly comes from the packaged information obtained from the wise man before.
Naturally, the books they obtained from the home sea are not of much benefit. They can only think about whether they can find more useful books here in Lucilia.
But if you ask him what kind of books and knowledge it is, he certainly can't tell you.
After all, he is just working hard to learn in this direction.
Lucylia nodded, and roughly knew what Alka was thinking.
Waving his hand, a huge library appeared in the air.
This library occupies 1/5 of the area of the entire dream sky, floating in the center, causing them to be shrouded in the largest shadow.
"Such a big library?" Alka looked at the huge library above his head and was shocked.
How many books are there in such a big library?
"How many books have you read?" He couldn't help asking.
Hearing Alka's words, Lucia smiled disdainfully.
"These are just books related to the ones you just mentioned. I haven't extracted more books."
?
Alka looked down at Lucylia.
"So how old were you when you were alive? How long have you lived?"
Hearing this, Lucilia clenched her fist and punched Alka several times.
"Don't ask, don't ask, go read your books."
After saying that, she teleported Alka directly into the library.
Watching the scene around him change, Alka shrugged and didn't care. Instead, he focused all his attention on the scene in the library.
The entire library is circular, with round wooden tables in the center. These wooden tables seem to be tied to the entire library, like branches growing out of the ground and growing into tables and chairs.
The bookshelves are circular, neatly stacked around, with a total of 6 rows, and there are movable slides around like ladders for taking books.
This is much better than what Alka imagined, which was filled with bookcases and shelves.
But the number is also amazing enough.
"Turtle, are these all?"
If these are all, how long will it take me to read?
Arka walked over and looked carefully.
Then he saw that these books were classified into categories.
They are roughly divided into ancient epics and ancient myths, various historical talks and historical research, magic and mystery research, spells and treasure research, and geological environment and material research.
These are all books related to the extraordinary world, and do not include larger categories, not including extraordinary universal books.
The last three categories are the focus of Arka's research.
When he came to the area where these three categories were stored, Arka found that many books above were emitting a faint golden light.
It was as if he was reminding him that these books should be read first.
It should be Lucilia's special annotation. After all, Lucilia has done research with Alka, and she probably knows what kind of knowledge Alka needs.
First, Alka took a few research books related to mystery and magic, and took them to the table and chair next to him to start reading.
The three books were actually written in three different languages.
I am really impressed.
Fortunately, Alka has not been doing nothing in the past few years since he entered the extraordinary world.
The boring activities on the sea made Alka learn various languages and characters with Lucilia from time to time.
After all, if you really want to continue in this line of work, you must have a lot of languages and characters, and they will often deal with these things.
Otherwise, when looking for treasures, you may not even be able to see the information, so how can you talk about treasure hunting?
Perhaps the information about the treasure is hidden in those information, but your own people don't know, which is too aggrieved.
In addition to myself, Sofia and the others also had to study from time to time in Lusilia's small classroom.
If I had this enthusiasm for learning in my previous life... Forget it, don't think about it.
Calming down, Alka began to read quietly.
It seems that in order to facilitate Alka's reading, Lusilia made the entire dream world very quiet. The open-air library, outside is the starry sky, but the library is unusually bright.
The first book Alka read was the symbolism used in ancient sacrifices and the construction of spells with materials.
Especially in the sacrifice to gods, symbolism is most widely used.
The strange materials contain deeper symbols corresponding to some phenomena and elements of nature, as well as natural laws, and even the rules controlled by gods.
In the past, it must have been superstition, even Alka didn't care much about it before.
He was more concerned about the magic flow of materials, and how to refine materials and carve spells to achieve the desired effect.
He never thought about the symbolism of materials. Every material that Alka used for refining and carving had its essential meaning.
There was never anything useless, but it had symbolic meaning.
For example, on the brightest night of the summer moon, in the garden where the moonlight shines directly, the first blue flower was picked.
It symbolizes the bright moon and perfection.
What the hell does it mean?
Seeing this, Alka was still confused, it was too abstract.
But after all, he was in a learning mentality, so he kept steady and continued to read.
Finally, there is a more logical explanation below.
This kind of flower is not limited to a certain type of flower, but as long as the flowers meet the conditions, they can be called full moon blue light.
The actual effect represented by its symbolic meaning is related to the attributes of the moon night.
Adding this material to any moon-related ritual can greatly increase success and effectiveness.
Adding it to other crafting materials or spell carvings may enhance the night or strengthen the moonlight.
Of course, some rituals must be used.
After a quick look at the book, Alka had a general understanding.
Things and materials with symbolic meanings are difficult to obtain and need to be collected deliberately.
And the effect achieved is also very vague. If you want to achieve the effect you want, you must have enough experience.
This is similar to an empirical science.
But it is really interesting. Alka saw several symbolic images related to hair in it.
Pulled out in different situations, stimulated and used in different situations all symbolize different images.
Gradually indulged in learning.
…
Almost every night since then, Alka would sink into Lucilia's dream bubble in his dreams and study in the library.
During the day, he shifted his focus to other places, such as a more detailed observation and research of Er.
Alka had a more interesting discovery about Er.
The reason why Er became different from other puppet girls is not only because of the symbolic meaning of hair, but also because of other reasons.
That is, hair is actually part of the flesh and blood. It is counted as the flesh and blood material of the puppet and is activated when the scarlet flag is activated.
In addition, a large amount of magic power is poured in, which forcibly lifts its strength into the second spiral, and also further activates the hair.
Under the intersection of various reasons, such effects as Er are produced.
Such effects are not impossible to replicate, but are absolutely replicable.
And it is not necessary to use hair, perhaps blood and flesh can be used to achieve it.
What makes Alka happy is that he has studied why this situation occurs, which gives him more experience and ideas in subsequent production.
And Alka is more and more happy with his observation of Er.
Because of Er's emotions and the stimulation of her soul, she is more like a human being in her daily actions and communication, rather than a rigid puppet.
The most important change comes from the fact that, because of her appearance, Zero and One also show obvious fluency and agility under her leadership.
No longer as rigid as before.
She is bringing her good side to other puppet girls, because of the conductivity of the treasure between them, such changes are very rapid and almost visible to the naked eye.
The specific reason is strongly related to the treasure, but Alka has not yet fully studied the more detailed reasons.
Although these puppet girls were born from his hands, Alka's understanding of them is getting less and less.
Instead, he has to rely on studying his own creations to obtain more interesting techniques and knowledge.
