Whispering Poems

Chapter 1733 Mermaid Oil Painting

"Of course it is, but it doesn't mean there are no other meanings. The blending of flesh and soul is extremely profound knowledge in alchemy. You should know that our [Rosicrucian Order] focuses on alchemy skills. I am reading the documents left by the religious order and When reading the materials, I have seen an alchemist from the fifth era comment on this sentence."

Ms. Hope spoke very slowly, so Shad heard clearly:

"Emotion is the rope that connects two different individuals. Although emotion itself is not an entity, neither is the soul. Enough deep emotion can make two souls bond across space, which is inseparable no matter how far away connect."

"Soul? I don't have much research on this. However, emotion does affect the effect of casting spells, which I know very well."

Shad said, Ms. Hope nodded:

"The alchemy notes even mentioned that she was researching a method for harmless short-term fusion of two souls, so that two people could become one."

"What? Did she succeed?"

"Of course it didn't work. According to the records of the sect, the master alchemist of the fifth era created a terrifying fusion of undead. The resulting disaster was finally suppressed and quelled by a witch emperor at that time. Come down. This matter can still be found in the Holy See library of the Church of the Sun and the Church of Peace, and our religious order left this dangerous information to warn the latecomers not to interfere with the soul at will. I think , This is probably why in our era, the Orthodox Church strictly prohibits any knowledge of soul selling and soul transformation."

After learning some knowledge about soul fusion from Ms. Hope, Shad took her approval slip and finally went to find Mr. Upton.

This gentleman was also evaluated as eccentric by the Forlan brothers, Ms. Hope and Mr. Richard, so Shad was also prepared to be made difficult.

After he adjusted his mood and let a formulaic smile appear on his face, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.After waiting for a long time, I heard footsteps coming from inside the door, and then the door was opened with a gap, but the anti-theft chain was not removed.

A half-white man with messy hair who looked like he was in his 50s asked impatiently through the crack of the door:
"who is it?"

This tone is very similar to Dorothy's reaction to being interrupted while writing.

"Friends of Brother Furren, I'm here"

"not see."

"and many more!"

Xia De hurriedly grabbed the door that was about to be closed, and the man inside the door pulled it hard again, but found that the door was still motionless.Realizing that Xia De's strength is far stronger than him, he took a deep breath and said:

"What did Eric and Charles ask you to do?"

"Can we go in and talk? I won't bother long. This is a note from Ms. Hope. I want to buy a knowledge."

The corner of Mr. Upton's mouth twitched, and he looked Shade up and down:
"Okay, but wait a minute, I'll clean up the room."

"no problem."

Shad let go of the door and let it close.Mr Upton's footsteps made his way into the room, but he returned within 30 seconds, this time disengaging the security chain and opening the door fully.

This room is located on the same floor as Ms. Hope's room, so the internal structure is basically similar.Originally, Shad thought that since Upton looked slovenly, the room would be messy, but in fact it was very tidy.

The furniture arrangement and the atmosphere of the room are normal, the only thing worth noting is the wooden easel in the living room.However, the drawing board on the easel was covered by the white cloth, so Xia De couldn't see what kind of oil painting it was.But when Mr. Upton said that he would go into the room to tidy up, he probably meant this painting.

Shad didn't feel any elements, so he didn't care, thinking it was Mr. Upton's privacy.

After the two parties were seated, Xia De also briefly explained his purpose of coming.Even though Mr. Upton was a little impatient with the divine arts that Shad wanted to acquire, he still listened to Shad's narration in detail, and asked quite seriously the reason why Shad wanted to learn the divine arts, emphasizing that Contraindications to using this spell:
"When your hand is holding another person's hand, you have to be in awe of this emotion. Whether it is love or other emotions, it is the most valuable power that our mortal souls can burst out. Don't Give up easily, any girl who is willing to hold hands with you. Young people, countless ring warlocks who have learned this magic, will regret it from the bottom of their hearts when they are forced or voluntarily watch that figure go away. I have experienced the feeling of soul touching each other through magic."

His expression is very serious:
"Are you sure you want to learn it?"

"No, I don't want to learn it for the time being. I want to buy this knowledge for a pair of twin girls."

Shad nodded affirmatively, and Mr. Upton nodded:
"Then the danger is not so great. But you have to sign an additional contract to ensure that the knowledge will not leak out."

"Of course, it makes sense."

After Xia De finished speaking, he asked curiously:
"Have you, like Ms. Hope, studied the knowledge of soul contact and even fusion?"

"No no, that's not what I'm studying. What I'm studying is"

Some slovenly men casually glanced at the covered oil painting:
"What I study is the relationship between the interaction between the body and the body under the influence of love."

Xia De blinked, the other party's statement was very strange, he suspected that he had guessed wrong:

"That's not what you said."

"Yes, have you heard of [Pink Book]? That's the kind of knowledge I study. Love is not pure spiritual communication. Young people like you should understand it better than me."

said Mr. Upton, shrugging his shoulders to Shad:

"But under the general social morality, it is not suitable to share this kind of knowledge with everyone. So I pretended to be eccentric, so that they would not bother me. Although this will make my reputation worse, at least it will avoid becoming worse."

Xia De nodded to show that he understood. He had also studied "The Pink Book", and he knew that the book with rich knowledge was indeed not suitable for discussing with too many people.

Now that Mr. Upton agreed for him to learn magic, he was ready to leave, went to Ms. Hope to pay the money, and then went upstairs to Mr. Richard to get the learning ritual of thaumaturgy.

However, when Shad got up, Mr. Upton signaled to Shad not to leave so soon.

"As for the proverb you mentioned, I actually have some ways of understanding it."

said Mr. Upton, and asked Shad a question:
"Do you believe that two different bodies can be fused into one person?"

Xia De thought for a while, then nodded decisively:

"Of course I do. For example, two girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old become one after fusion.

Mr. Upton nodded in surprise:
"I thought you would say that this does not conform to the theory of the ring warlock system. But that's okay, it seems that you still have some talent. My research direction is not the fusion of souls, but the use of [Pink Book] System, to study the moment of emotional outburst and physical pleasure, and the complex interaction between the body and the body."

He took a deep breath:

"In my opinion, the ultimate goal of this research is to realize two people becoming one from the material level."

Xia De frowned slightly, and said hesitantly:

"I don't know if you know that in Necromancy, many corpses can be stitched together to create something like 'Undead Stitcher'."

He always felt that there was something wrong with the spirit of the gentleman in front of him, and the other party seemed to be a little too excited.Therefore, Xia De was worried that the other party would eventually make a terrible monster.

"No no. You misunderstood me. I study living people, not corpses. This is completely different. Corpses have no feelings, no pleasure, they are meaningless."

Mr. Upton shook his head:
"And I won't immediately start experimenting with humans and humans. My current progress is just trying to get myself the power of animals through contact with animals. This is something that ancient druids can only learn after getting close to animal companions Mystery."

"That doesn't sound strange."

Shad commented with a smile, and Mr. Upton finally smiled:

"I knew that there would always be someone who would understand me."

He looked at the oil painting covered by the white cloth again, as if he had made up his mind:

"In fact, I got a very strange oil painting more than a year ago. It made me firm that my idea is absolutely correct. The purest emotion and the most extreme charm will burst out in the fusion of flesh and blood I want to invite you to take a look at this painting, which will let you know what I want to study."

He pointed to the white cloth, and Xia De asked:

"Who created this painting? What year is it?"

"Probably in the early Sixth Era, a painter who traveled far out to sea saw a very beautiful lady in the water in a fog one morning. He was stimulated by the beauty of that moment , to draw this painting. But then the artist went crazy, and other ordinary people who saw this painting also went crazy. I suspect that he had a glimpse of some kind of alien creature, such as a mermaid or something."

As he spoke, he stood up, and with a light tug, the canvas slid off.Xia De looked over subconsciously, and his first impression was that it was an oil painting with quite bright colors.

Although it depicts an underwater scene, the woman who occupies the main body of the picture has long orange-red hair floating in the water and her white skin that almost glows, making the underwater picture quite bright.She turned her face out of the screen, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked charming and lazy.

Surrounding the lady in the picture, various shellfish and fish form the background, while the underwater water flow is outlined with abstract lines by the brush, making the details of the picture more abundant and compact.

"It's beautiful."

This was an idea that immediately came to Xia De's mind, and then he said it out.

He smiled and looked at the painting, admiring the beauty of the underwater lady in the painting.She is almost in harmony with the underwater world, as if she should exist in the water herself.The perfect appearance just stopped at that second, but the beauty and charm were recorded for a long time.

"It's beautiful."

Xia De sighed again, staring at the painting and even feeling unwilling to look away.He even thought that the woman in this painting was more beautiful than the witches he knew
