From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 287 Loopholes in the rules and general changes inside and outside

‘Try it quickly! Try the ‘unity of soul and body’ you mentioned!” Azshara said with some anticipation.

'All right.'

Their communication no longer seemed to need to be mediated by sound. The two consciousnesses completed the communication only by relying on the connection between cells, and then started new attempts.

At this time, the mixing at the cellular level is more uniform than before, which provides them with a more efficient bonding experience;

Therefore, in the active "change" between the two groups, the two groups of cells let go of their independence and tried to incorporate each other into the same system;

As a result, the level of the visualization body gradually changed. Although each other could not 'see' the other, with the combination of the cell groups, both began to vaguely feel the 'existence' of the other.

However, the changes seemed to stop here, and no matter how hard they tried in the future, they could not achieve true 'spiritual unity'.

After many attempts to no avail, the two discussed each other's risk analysis, and with enough backup, they made a more radical attempt, but it was not without room for turning back.

At this time, the visualization bodies of Nesta and Azshara collapsed, scattering into firefly-like light spots in the meditation space;

In the real world, that 'two-in-one' body also fell apart.

This is the first time Nesta has made such an attempt after achieving unification. He has even prepared to temporarily stop thinking, and since he has follow-up remedial measures, he is not too worried about the outcome.

But the 'worst' situation did not occur. Even though he took the initiative to interrupt the unity of consciousness, he unexpectedly and unreasonably retained a strange 'self'.

Nesta fell into a special state as a result. He seemed not to exist in this world, nor in the 'other world' (referring to the pseudo-world of meditation space), but was 'looking down' at everything with an almost detached attitude.

At this time, his thinking was sluggish, his perspective was mysterious, and his 'self' seemed to be tightly wrapped by a large number of strings and endless places;

These 'strings' and 'fields' seem to come from this world, from his body, from the surrounding materials. They are like reflections of reality, and they also seem to be the essence of matter, and they appear in a kind of world that cannot be called 'visual'

, nor is it 'seen' by Nesta through any other senses that can act on reality.

However, just by "looking" at it, his thinking began to stagnate as if it had been filled with endless garbage data, as if an ancient computer was asked to drive an extremely complex software;

Fortunately, this feeling goes as quickly as it comes. If this 'vision' also has the concept of time and space, then maybe a minute in the outside world is a part of a second after being divided infinitely;

This 'share' ended with changes in the outside world. When the new body began to take shape, Nesta's thinking also fell back from 'transcendence'

In the 'outside world', after the cells of Azshara and Nesta were disbanded, they immediately restructured their integration from zero according to the established rules;

The consciousness of each cell exudes microscopic links, starting from the foundation to establish a set of operating logic that is not superimposed or assisted, but truly combined;

On the material level, they gathered sand to form a tower, building their common body inch by inch and forming the necessary internal organ groups;

At the level of meditation, the cell consciousnesses form from points to bodies, blending with each other and starting a common meditation, connecting the two minds into the 'same' meditation space;

Afterwards, a set of digital elves formed by quadrillion times quadrillion calculation floating points were formed according to the shaping pattern of the visualization body, completing the integration of the consciousness of all cells in the body.

When all this is completed, a strange life is born

On the physical level, it is ‘one’ composed of two ‘ten thousand’;

At the level of consciousness, it also seems to be an undisputed complete entity

Logically speaking, with such a situation of "oneness" both inside and outside, it would not be surprising even if a brand new, real life individual appears;

Nesta's so-called 'backhand' actually focused on this issue. Once the guess comes true, the 'code trap' at the bottom of the visualization body will be activated and the separation program will be executed.

However, now this 'backup' is ineffective, or there is no need to appear at all;

Because what is ‘above’ this ‘consciousness’ is ‘outside’. Or is it ‘inside’?

In short, in a place, perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as "another dimension", there are two other independent "selves" that exist above;

They belong to two individuals, Nesta and Azshara respectively, and it is unknown whether it is due to the influence of their existence that the 'consciousness' of the body has fallen into a state similar to that of a 'mechanical', and the operating mode seems a bit rigid and established.

This description does not refer to its external actions, but to its internal logic;

How to put it specifically? It may not be accurate, but it is like a biological machine?

For the time being, my gaze returns to those two ‘selves’.

Nesta's feeling at this time is somewhat similar to the previous "transcendence", except that there are no "strings" and "fields" around it, but a sense of occlusion and chaos. If I want to express myself, it is like being in a reality.

and the 'half-way' state of transcendence;

At the same time, he vaguely felt the existence of some kind of 'channel', and 'slid' into it with his thoughts.

What followed was the return of physical sensation, and he opened his eyes at this time.

This is a new body. It has unparalleled physical strength and amazing thinking speed.

However, there was no presence of Azshara in Nesta's perception, so he fell into panic, fearing that the other party's consciousness would be completely swallowed by himself.

Fortunately, the panic only lasted for a moment, and his previous feelings gave him a glimmer of doubt and a glimmer of hope.

Maybe your partner is also 'trapped' in some strange chaos somewhere?

After calming down, the perception that was far beyond what I had before began to spread, not to the outside world or the material world, but to the 'inside', looking for the 'holes' like before.

And he did find it, and the moment he sensed its 'existence', he entered it again, returning to the inexplicable chaos again.

However, in the material world, the body's eyes opened again the moment Nesta's consciousness 'left';

And from his eyes, there was also worry and anxiety.

‘Niesta! Where are you? Answer me, where are you?’

In a panic, Azshara's consciousness suddenly felt the flow of body energy, and it came without warning or reason. It was like there was a bottomless black hole of energy. It was not fast, but it was real.

Absorbing it out of thin air.

'this'

Azshara calmed down instantly and began to analyze the possible situation at the moment based on her own 'encounter'.

‘Endless mystery, then the chaos of nothingness, then mystery again, and finally I returned to my body’

'So, is there any correlation between the changes between mystery and chaos, the return of my consciousness, and the flow of energy at this time?'

‘Is Nesta also affected by this connection in some form? For example, ‘a body’ can only have one consciousness at the same time? That’s the best!’

With this in mind, Azshara decided to split herself to see if the change in quantity could bring back her partner's consciousness.

In a very rapid process, Nessalata's body was split into two, and another body appeared between the beds, but she discovered that it was still 'self', and Nessaratha did not appear because of this.

'No, maybe the visualization body, body, and consciousness are all separated before they can be considered two real individuals?'

She subconsciously wanted to completely stop the combination of the cell groups and restore it to its original appearance from the inside out, but she stopped when the situation came to pass.

Because she was afraid, afraid that the part of the cells that belonged to Nesta after division would be reduced to a piece of scattered sand due to the lack of integration consciousness;

Or, if Nesta's consciousness fails to be recovered, will the new body form a brand new mind and completely replace his partner?

Thinking of this possibility, she decided to find another way

Azshara first used a spell to leave a line of words on the bed, and then began to use her senses to find the 'hole' that she didn't know existed before;

Then, coincidentally, the moment she actually felt it, she inexplicably 'slipped' into it.

~~~~~

In the deep and nihilistic chaos, Nesta slowly realized everything. The flow of time seemed to be stretched to an extremely long time, but also seemed to be extremely short. His brain could not turn around, and he had no time to think about any ideas he had. He even felt it.

The speed seemed extremely slow.

And in this helplessness, the chaos suddenly dissipated, and the strings and fields reappeared. But before he could confirm what these things were in his stagnant thinking again, Nesta felt a familiar feeling.

In the feeling, it 'slips' into some kind of sensory hole.

Opening his eyes again, a familiar room, familiar bed, and familiar handwriting came into view, and at the same time there was an unfamiliar sense of energy loss;

He ignored the latter, but immediately looked at the writing that was deeply engraved on the bed.

'Damn you bastard! Leave a message if you see it!!!'

"Haha, what a cute guy."

With a smile on his face, he also left a line of words at this time as he had some guesses about the current situation,

'I am here, and after returning, I will disintegrate and then flocculate again.'

Sensing, finding holes, leaving the body behind, Azshara then returned again and dissolved the 'two-in-one' state out of trust.

During the purple flow, she became an independent body, and Nesta's cells were formed almost at the same time.

She rushed forward to hug and bite her lightly, and scolded in fear,

"I won't listen to your blind ideas anymore!"

"Haha~ Isn't this all good? And it's very rewarding!"

"What can be gained? A bunch of inexplicable things. My mind is still confused."

"Nonsense, where did you get your brain now?"

"you!"

She obviously wanted to curse, but Azshara realized that what her partner said seemed to be right, so she shut her mouth and punched her twice angrily.

"Okay, let me talk about 'harvest'."

"you say!"

"Did you feel like you were being left with a 'mark' when you were promoted?"

Azshara's thoughts were spinning, and then she nodded thoughtfully and responded,

"I can't say exactly. But it seems like this is the feeling."

"That's right."

"To what?"

"Although it is just a guess, is there such a possibility? That is, after a living body reaches a certain state, there may be some special connection between it and the world;"

"Like 'only', or 'recorded'."

"There are many possibilities. It is even possible that this 'special' has always existed, but we just happened to reach a special node that can be discovered, and then, like cheating, we found a way to 'can barely use it'."

"Use? What did we use?"

"What I saw can be described as the chaos of nothingness, and the endless 'strings' and 'fields'. The former was unclear and only left me with a very distorted feeling, while the latter was unclear.

A strong sense of shock, which may represent something more essential;"

"And that kind of 'vision' should not be something we can really come into contact with now. Perhaps we can only perceive it briefly when we advance due to the need to be 'recorded' or for other reasons;"

"However, by mistake, we took advantage of some unknown rules that may exist and took advantage of the loopholes to achieve the 'seeing' at this moment;"

"As for what kind of rule loopholes were exploited, if we can infer from our previous status."

"Perhaps it's like 'a body can only contain one thinking individual like you and me'? Moreover, I just tried it again, and now this body does seem to have lost the ability it just had."

"That makes sense, so... what can we gain by exploiting this vulnerability?"

"have no idea."

"ah?"

"But you can always give it a try, right? It doesn't seem to be dangerous anyway."

“Just in case”

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I will take you to see different scenery."

"Where are you going?"

"Fly~"

"No, you liar!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Damn the fusion of soul and body! I didn't experience any of the feelings you mentioned, it's just a controlled body!"

"Well, I thought I could have some kind of enjoyment beyond the physical body. How can I compensate you?"

Azshara's eyes flickered when she heard this, and then a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She turned her head slightly, her eyes moved, and at the same time, strange changes occurred inside and outside her body;

Several abyss-like narrow holes are opening and closing slightly in the misty and moist purple rhyme.

~~~~~~

More than 150 light hours later, Azshara packed up and returned to work, while Nesta stayed in the tree house, preparing to stay there for a while.

At this time, he had the experience to notice the changes in his headquarters, and the starting point was from his own home.

He was sitting lazily on the sofa. There was a strange cubic box not far in front of him. Just looking at the appearance, Nesta didn't understand what it was. But when he felt deeply inside, he nodded thoughtfully.

head, showing an interesting look.

Following a vague connection, he turned his gaze to one side and saw an instrument the size of a palm, casually placed on the other end of the sofa;

He did not get up, but instead controlled a vine to disintegrate from the sofa with his thoughts, then extended it to the instrument, rolled it up, and delivered it to his hand.

In a very short period of time, Nesta understood the function of this thing, and based on the analysis results, he pressed his finger on a totem and activated its built-in function;

After he pressed the button, there was an inconspicuous movement, and light and shadow began to flicker inside the cube not far away, and then two elves, one male and one female, appeared in it, with their mouths opening and closing.

say something.

He fumbled and pressed the totem button that controlled the volume, and finally there was sound coming from all directions.

"Hello, viewers, it's 0:30 on July 34, 1990 in the rune calendar. Today we will be broadcasting the morning news for you."

'Good guy, it's still stereo' Nesta thought.

“First the domestic part”

"It is reported that the Speaker of the Parliament, Ms. Azshara, ended her leave last night and returned to her post again;"

"There is news from the Parliament Office that the lady has been successfully promoted to the fifth level under the guidance of the pioneers, and the remaining fourth-level wizards who have reached the critical level are also expected to complete their promotions within a period of time;"

"The spokesperson of the General Office pointed out that the planned capture of high-level monsters will be advanced as a result. It is scheduled to launch an operation against three targets at the same time in three months, and it will take up to two years to complete the capture plan for all scheduled targets;

"

"If this plan is carried out smoothly and successfully achieved, it will have the largest boost to date in increasing the number of citizens in the Republic."

"Here's another piece of news."

"Last night at 17:00, Lieutenant Colonel Quinates of the intelligence force led a team to transport back 120,000 fourth-class tribal individuals from the mainland. They will be placed in the Northeast Plateau No. 03 and establish themselves with the help of the Republic.

city-state;"

"According to the status report from the vassal ministry, after this round of plateau filling plan is completed, the number of subjects of the Republic will officially exceed 5 million;"

“The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock pointed out that this will greatly enhance our economic vitality and technological update;

"The ruling government is discussing accelerating the replacement of totem equipment. It is expected that the old totem products from the second- and third-level eras will be provided to the subordinate states to replace the first-generation products they are using at this time."

"There are also objections. Scholar Ms. Sinovites believes that now is not the time to significantly improve the productivity of the country, and that second-generation machinery should be launched after the fifth-generation products appear."

"In terms of scientific research, the Supersonic Vehicle Research Institute received good news yesterday afternoon. The new generation of manual verification aircraft reached 4 times the speed of sound in experiments;"

“In addition, the ‘Warrior’s Path’ project of the Cultivation Research Institute has also achieved results, and it seems that it is expected to complete the formal research on the second-level upgrade to the third-level part next year;”

"Director Lenista believes that once this breakthrough is achieved, the soldiers will be able to use more powerful armored suits, and the expanded totems may increase the base value by a hundred times."

"The following is domestic news"

"The deep-sea exploration submarine completed its circumnavigation last week, and the information collected along the way has been analyzed and confirmed;"

"The exploration submarine discovered hundreds of easy-to-exploit mineral deposits and more in an area with the equator as the central axis and spanning thousands of kilometers from north to south."

"A built-in liquid fuel aircraft of the Aerospace Laboratory successfully broke through an altitude of 1.5 million meters and returned smoothly. The detection device carried by the aircraft brought back a large amount of important scientific research data such as the air pressure environment. The laboratory plans to expand the 2 million-meter airspace next Exploration within;”

"The Microscopic Laboratory of the Central School has recently used physical methods to observe the molecular structure of the atmosphere for the first time, and has promulgated more than 12 gas molecular models;"

"The Council has launched a molecular determination project and plans to establish a model related to magic and physics, with the intention of explaining the connection between the two perspectives of the microscopic world."

"Next is the report from mainland China"

"Yesterday, the Mammoth Kings met with the incoming Governor of the Southern Sanctuary and encouraged him. This is already the third Governor of the Southern Sanctuary in five years;"

"The name of the new governor is ***. He is 113 years old now. He is a middle-aged and elderly mammoth who comes from the aristocracy. He is known for his crisp and neat style of acting. He has served successively in his early years. The two mammoth kings hope that he can end the chaos in the south as soon as possible; "

"However, our Minister of External Exploration is not optimistic about this appointment and believes that it will not be able to quell the phenomenon known as the 'wolf plague' in the north."

"As for the Kingdom of Rhine, the new king intends to patrol the country's borders, and it is expected that 123 clan matrons will accompany him."

"The Queen of the Fang Kingdom was recently assassinated by her lover No. 23, and as a result, more than a thousand people involved in the case were executed at home and abroad. However, the third princess who planned the operation escaped detection."

"In addition, the second-class tribes in the mainland have recently launched secret discussions to unite and establish a country. This project was secretly instigated by the seven tribes that had previously withdrawn from the Rhine border, and was recognized by the high-ranking nobles of the tribes;"

"But the shaman altar has remained silent for the time being. We guess that they are waiting for the approval of their respective secondary gods."

"If this move becomes a conclusion and survives the first round of intervention by the three powers, then the pattern of the northern continent will change again;"

"Once the second-class tribe completes the federation, its foundation in secular power will surpass the three powerful tribes and become the number one in the north. However, at the near-god level, the conclusion is unknown due to lack of data."

As the two announcers narrated sentence after sentence, the fifteen minutes of news time passed quickly. In the process, Nesta also gained a general understanding of the recent internal and external situations, and more detailed content would depend on the follow-up. Just check the files.

While he was enjoying his long-lost leisure, other programs appeared one after another inside the cube, such as musical instrument performances, stage play performances, poetry recitations, etc.

Among them, the stage play and poetry recitation did not mention much about Nesta's nature. On the contrary, the musical instrument performance gave him a feeling of "eye-opening".

In this world, the special hearing range of the elves determines the huge gap between the development direction of music in the Republic and the previous life;

A large number of vibrations in the non-identifiable wavebands of ultrasonic and infrasound to humans in previous lives, and even to other races in this area, can become beautiful music in the ears of elves;

When productivity was liberated to the maximum extent and the popularization of knowledge became effective, a large number of special musical instruments and unique music were born one after another in their spare time, greatly enriching citizens' spare time life.

In addition, they also added the power of totem magic to the music. The melody of the sound is no longer just a pure vibration, each melody is endowed with emotional power;

They are born because of the melody and fall because of the melody. After combining with the charm of the music itself, they produce a more powerful rendering power.

Moreover, out of this concept, a relatively partial warrior school was born.
