Chapter 2316

In fact, long ago, magic research related to spirituality was also popular for a time, and even has experienced more than one rise and decline since ancient times.

The specific number of ups and downs is probably unknown now, but there are traces to follow after all.

According to the research of makarenmon's guess, the initial beginning of soul research should be the discovery of soul perception skills. As a few wizards began to be able to relatively intuitively "observe" the existence of the soul, the exploration specifically for the soul itself naturally began gradually.

However, the first development of soul magic by human wizards can be said to be successful, but it can also be said to be a failure. It succeeded because at that time, all wizards who could master the perception ability of the soul were very powerful and wise wizards, so that in ancient times, some people broke the rule of direct contact with the soul, and even went further.

For example, the witch Kern is one of the best and luckiest strong men.

Unfortunately, it has always failed, and the failure lies in the popularization of advanced magic - it is inferred that until the soul research in the ancient magic world was completely lost, there are no more than ten wizards who specialize in it and make some achievements!

In this way, the soul study of the ancient magic world appeared for the first time, and it was empty for thousands of years. The ancient wizards who lacked effective observation means, even if there were occasional researchers who were unwilling to reach Baoshan at present, they all returned empty handed.

Until the middle ages, after a long period of accumulation of talents in the magic world, several talented people appeared to give new light to alchemy, a knowledge that has been depressed for many years. Through the "spiritual refining" system in alchemy, the breakthrough point of soul research is opened again from another angle.

Yes, Phillips hornheim, who made Sarah born in this world, was once the leader of that era. At the same time, he was also one of the several genius alchemies that pushed the wave of soul research to the peak again.

However, no matter how many times soul science has risen in the history of magic, if the research difficulty and research conditions of this discipline cannot be solved, it is doomed that the upsurge will eventually subside again.

Therefore, history has proved this fact.

It has to be said that starting with the discipline of alchemy, the adaptability of its observation means is actually much easier than that in ancient times.

However, it is a pity that after the advanced stage to the middle and late stage of alchemy, which is easy to learn but difficult to refine, the difficult knowledge is still too complicated for most wizards.

The first batch of talents produced by the blowout explosion gradually withered, and alchemy finally declined again, which indirectly led to the fact that soul science, which has not yet gained much, has once again left the vision of most new generation wizards.

There may be more relatively small ups and downs in history that have not been clearly recorded, but in general, these two eras should be the more traceable in the history of magic. In these two times, what is left to future generations is unwilling and regret.

But... Yes, although the research means are gone, most of the research records of that year would have been washed to pieces by time if they had not been completely understood. But those old research contents, in the end, there are still many scattered things as the "cold knowledge" of the magic world.

For example, Maka saw more than one magic book and personal notes related to spirituality in the forbidden book area of Hogwarts; For another example, there are a lot of messy materials in the brova's private library.

It must be said that although Willie's brain is not smart, her memory may not be very good. But the problem is that because of her own reasons, she has developed the habit of reading and planting flowers and grass since childhood. Even though she may not remember much in the book, she will never let go of anything about plants.

When the book came into use, facing the green flame that might be related to the soul rules, she almost quickly thought of a "cold knowledge" that was quite useless in ordinary times——

"Plants also have souls, but they have no self."

It is said that plants are different from animals. Their souls are extremely weak and useless. They were abandoned in the early stage of evolution. So even if the soul is removed, the plant can still survive normally.

Willie can't remember which book she saw this knowledge, perhaps in her own collection or in Hogwarts library, but it obviously doesn't matter.

At present, she just wants to confirm one thing - if the previous speculation that the green flame is related to the soul is correct, what is the state of the flowers, plants and trees wrapped in the green flame in the forest now?

Just now when we went to the forest to check our dead companions, everyone was only busy paying attention to the terrible harm of the green flame to people, so that even Willie forgot to observe the grass and trees everywhere. She only vaguely remembered that although the forest was surrounded and burned by green flames, there seemed to be no trace of damage.

"Well... Sure enough, isn't it?"

Without paying attention to the old housekeeper behind her, she called and chased. Willie only stopped at the edge of the forest, and then carefully looked at all kinds of plants that were also in the fire.

However, the trees and weeds were almost intact, just like the clothes of several dead people nearby. The strong corrosive effect on the human body seems to be nonexistent to them. At most, it will make some plants become listless.

There is no doubt that this must be an opportunity to break the game, at least for Willie, who is proficient in herbal medicine.

"Miss, we --"

"Don't talk, wait first."

The old housekeeper hurried to Willie's side and was about to say something, but Willie raised her hand and blocked her back. Willie knew that in order to rescue the trapped with the greatest possible probability, she had to grasp the possibility that might exist.

However, it seems that Willie soon found a seemingly effective breakthrough, but her fate doesn't seem to want to give her this opportunity.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was another explosion in front, and a green flame burst out from the depths of the forest, almost straight into the sky over the forest. Because it was too close to the edge of the forest, Willie and the old housekeeper were knocked down by a shock wave at the same time, and then hurried back.

At the next moment, a figure rushed out of the forest very quickly.

Willie, who had just got up, subconsciously put her hand into her arms.
