Chapter 10 Hunter's Experiment
The rotten flesh, limbs and other inlaid on Hunter's body had been burned out, and his painful eyes had regained their intelligence and slowly crawled towards Karin.
Lucien took out a glass tube filled with white powder from his arms and stuffed it into Kalyn's hand, then held Kalyn's clothes and placed her in front of Hunter.
"Is this?" Kailin's heart was throbbing, and a very familiar feeling came from the glass tube. It was the feeling she dreamed of every night, and she often missed the feeling of crying!
As a result of conducting a transformation experiment on himself, Hunter's body sense of touch was almost numb. He resisted the pain of the burning of flames and shouted with the intuition of the necromancer's connection with blood: "That is...Little Mary's...ast?!"
"Mary is trapped in the remains. Please ask me to send her home before she dies." Lucien did not tell the specific story, because a little girl was lonely, hungry and painful in the black, white and gray necropolis world. She hoped and finally spent the last part of her life in despair. She was too cruel.
Hunter suddenly started to cry, and two lines of tears mixed with light yellow corpse liquid had just flowed out and were burned by the flames: "Is it that damn mysterious lock? It not only wastes me more than twenty years of life, but also makes me lose little Mary." The voice was no longer intermittent, and it was as clear as a return to the sky.
"He knew indeed." Lucien murmured to himself silently.
Kalyn cried, filled with heart-wrenching pain and regret, blood and tears mixed on her face, shouting "Little Mary", while opening the glass tube, pouring the ashes into her mouth, pouring it on her body, then pounced on Hunter, and receiving the burning of the flames with him.
"Mr. Evans, thank you for allowing us to reunite before death." Kalyn held Hunter's head and kept kissing his face with his lips with Mary's ashes.
Lucien looked at this scene quietly, feeling quite complicated, but he still asked: "Mr. Hunter, are you not from the small town of Bonn?"
"My hometown...is Djibouti...the Principality..." Hunter, who learned about his daughter's whereabouts, no longer had the will to hold on, hugged Kalyn and "Mary", as if he was about to take his last breath.
However, Kaylin, who was burned by the flames for a while, whispered to herself: "No matter why you stayed in the town of Bonn, no matter why you married me, I have always loved you so much and our daughter."
"I... too..." Hunter's mind became blurred, "I really regret... learning... demon..."
The voice came to an abrupt end, Hunter died, Kalyn held him firmly and ended his life with the small dagger in his arms.
The flames became bigger and bigger, and the two corpses slowly burned into ashes.
At this time, a cold wind blew away the black and white ash, and a little white light appeared out of thin air, gathering into the cute and transparent figure of the little girl Mary, behind her were the more blurry Hunter and Kalyn.
The little girl said silently, but the voice seemed to ring in Lucien's heart: "Thank you for sending me home, uncle. Haha, I finally waited for my father and mother..."
Most of the light spots dissipated in the wind, but a small part of them lingered on Lucien's left hand and eventually turned into a pale white tear mark.
As soon as it appeared, Lucien found that without the blessing of the magic of "resisting undead creatures", his body also had a good resistance to the surrounding undead environment and rotten corpse energy.
"Is it a constant effect?"
Lucien did not expect that the Hunt family's sense of gratitude would change in the end, but he didn't know much about the Necrotic Magic, but he didn't know what it was: "Maybe you can look for Hunt's magic notes to see, he should have a better understanding of Necrotic Things."
Hunter's laboratory was in the cemetery according to Kalyn, so Lucien did not wait for the flames to subside. He turned around and looked at the castle window. Simon and Joanna shouted loudly: "You guys deal with the remaining corpse puppets in the castle, and I'll clean up the nest of this evil necromancer." The distance is relatively far, and they need to shout loudly to hear it.
"Yes, Lord Evans." Betty and the others said in unison. In their eyes, Lucien was a powerful paladin with many extraordinary items.
After they arrived, Lucien only used three supernatural forces: "greasy technique", "fireball technique" and "salvation of the dead soul". Because the greasy technique does not have a conspicuous appearance effect and is so far away, Betty and the others cannot find that greasy technique is used by Lucien himself, and fireball technique is originally an inspiration of magical items, so there is no need to worry about "salvation of the dead soul".
Of course, Lucien would not take risks, so he naturally looked for opportunities one by one to "charm humans" and "verify".
…………
The door of the laboratory in the cemetery where the flames were burning was wide open, and Hunter seemed to have run out impatiently after the experiment was "successful".
When he walked into the door, Lucien couldn't help feeling nauseous even though he was mentally prepared, because it was like a slaughterhouse, where human corpses were placed everywhere, full of blood. Moreover, most of the corpses were from babies, children and teenagers, and they were cut into different parts, internal organs, facial features, etc. on different experimental tables.
After careful examination, Lucien found Hunter's main long table for the experiment, which was painted with an inverted life tree, the most famous inverted life tree in the Necrotic. The circle of ten branches of the tree was empty, but there was a black coffin next to it.
After checking, Lucien opened the black coffin and saw a scene that surprised him, because it was placed inside of Miss Mary's body, as if she was seven or eight years old, her face was rosy as if she was sleeping. She poked her fingers, which also showed obvious elasticity and touch of her body.
Lucien, who was sure that Mary's real body had turned into bones and was burned by herself, speculated in his heart: "Did Hunter collect so many children, and the baby's corpses were refined for the human body? But he obviously failed..."
After searching around for a while, Lucien found two black books in the corner, one with a notes and the other similar to "Book of Astrology and Elements", which were written in ancient magic empire text with three pale words "Book of the Dead".
After quickly reviewing the Book of the Necromancer and Hunter's magic notes and entering them into the Soul Library, Lucien started to read them seriously.
"According to the records obtained in the Magic Tower, the Bonn town of the Principal of Waorit is a mysterious ruin shrouded in mystery, which seems to be related to the whereabouts of several legendary magicians in ancient times, including the "Prophet" Muskirin, the friend of Wilfrid Necromancer. It is definitely not as barren as this Magic Tower, and it is likely that there are many magical items and treasures! I want to look for it!"
...
"Bonn Town is a beautiful place, the townspeople are simple and conservative, and the girl named Kaylene is so beautiful."
...
"Why is there no trace of the mysterious lock? What kind of mysterious lock is it? Could it be the prophet Muskirin personally arranged it?"
...
"I can't find clues from the background of the missing person. It seems that I can only give up, but I feel a little reluctant to leave Bonn town. Maybe I should tell her my true identity."
...
"Haha, I have a lovely daughter! Kalyn gave birth to a daughter for me, and I want to call her Mary. No matter what kind of necromancers, what mysterious experiments of legendary magicians such as Wilfried and the prophet "Maskillin", what powerful magic items, and what precious treasures are not as important as them!"
...
"Mary...Mary is gone! The nearby beasts should have been dealt with by me long ago! Could it be that Mika, or an outside kidnapper?!"
...
"My dear little Marie, come home quickly, dad and mom miss you so much!"
...
"Kelly cried bitterly every day. I think we need a brand new place to live, and I also need a good environment to study magic, to see if we can find Little Mary, or to resurrect her?"
...
"Haha, in order to continue life and restore youth, Baron Habero from Gray Mist Town actually killed his son as I said! With this blood-connected corpse, he can maintain his youth for several years! And I can also start researching!"
...
"Why is my body starting to rot? Why is my body full of stench? Is this avenge from the dead? Their pain and wailing seem to be entangled in my ears forever. No, I want to advance quickly. As long as I become a mid-level magician, I can get rid of the pain in my body!"
...
"I have no way to become a three-ring magician... can I just watch my body rot? Maybe I should try the transformation ceremony of "sewing the corpse" in "The Book of the Dead", and at the same time it is time to start refining Mary's body."
...
"Mary's body needs a lot of precious materials, and I have used up all my money. It seems that I have to mortgage the only magic items. Anyway, after I convert it into a 'sewn corpse', I can use the three-ring magic level higher than the level!"
...
"A magician I knew sent an invitation letter, what kind of death feast? What is the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council? If I transform and refine it successfully, maybe I should go and see it. But where is the Calendía Castle? I have to write a letter to ask."
"The baron is getting more and more greedy, and he is increasingly attacking minors in his territory, and he also wants to find a minor knight body to replace his decaying body. Is the minor knight so easy to encounter?! As long as the experiment is successful, I will take Kalyn and Mary away. Uncontrollable demands will inevitably bring the church's attention. Haha, the intern pastor of Gray Mist Town has been refined into a corpse puppet by me. It is such a unique corpse puppet..."
"The Carendia Castle turned out to be deep in the 'Yaron' Mountains next to the city of Coser..."
Seeing this, Lucien did not expect any unexpected surprises. Hunter recorded the location of the Carendia Castle in his magic notes, and the invitation letter was also sandwiched between two pages.
The content of the magic notes behind are mainly the transformation ritual and the records of refining Mary's body. Regardless of whether Hunter succeeds or not, those valuable data and experience are rare treasures for the magician.
"It's a pity that Hunter spent all his money and things to refine Mary's body." Lucien put the magic notes on the table, and then casually looked at the "Book of the Necromancer", which was a magic book left by the disciple of the legendary magician Wilfrid. It records most of the necromancer magic and rituals taught by Wilfrid, but there was no advanced method of the legendary profession of Wilfrid, which made Lucien quite regretful.
Lucien found no other valuable things, and took the invitation letter and slowly withdrew from the magic laboratory, guiding the burning flames of the cemetery to spread.
Seeing the refined "Mary" and the bloody corpse burning in the beating flames, Lucien slowly turned around:
"No wonder we need to use babies, children and teenagers. It turns out that ancient necromancers believe that humans who died before adulthood have the most abundant and pure life and power of death, and are the best spell casting and ritual materials."
"Why did Muskillin, the legendary magician of the astrology, do an experiment with Wilfried, the 'Pale Lord'? And looking at his words, this experiment is very mysterious and important!" (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
