Dean brought Poland and Aisha back to the outer wall. Along the way they saw a large number of undeads wandering in the streets. The whole city was full of signs of desolation. There were survivors hiding in some houses. They seemed to be praying for help. However, from the situation on the street, it seemed that the army had not started their cleanup, or rather, the army had gone somewhere else.
From what he saw, Dean guessed that the army was protecting the nobles as they retreated.
It could be seen that the situation in the inner wall was not much different from the outer wall. The nobles occupied the absolute height while the life and death of the civilians were as cheap as grass and trees.
Dean didn't rescue the survivors. He didn't have the slightest sympathy. Good people were sheep, evil people were wolves. Whether they were wolves or sheep was their own choice. He had expected this phenomenon, but the reality was crueler than he had imagined. But he was more than happy to see such a situation. It would also become an explosive chess piece in his hands, paving the way for his revenge!
Dean found an unmanned horse for Poland to ride. He carried the bottle of God's marrow and the black slime creature named 'Hell' and ran at full speed. There was a glimmer of light in the horizon when they arrived at the giant wall. It was dawn.
The night was destined to be extremely long for the people of the inner wall.
"Are you from the outer wall?" Poland was surprised as he saw Dean standing in front of the giant wall.
Dean glanced at him: "What's the problem?"
Poland's face changed as he bowed his head in silence. In his mind, the outer wall had always been a barren area ruled by the Monster Research Institute. It would be good if he could reach the level of a senior hunter. But Dean's strength wasn't that of a senior hunter. Moreover he was able to repel the pioneers. This wasn't something a simple person from the outer wall could do!
He knew that he was involved in a huge conspiracy. Dean was likely to have a deal with a major force in the inner wall.
Dean didn't pay attention to Poland's thoughts. He flew Poland to the giant wall and returned to the ground. Then he took Poland along the giant wall passage to the outer wall area. An hour later he brought Poland back to Utopia Mountain. The first ray of light was shining from the edge of the giant wall. It was falling on the square of the Temple. Dean felt a trace of warmth as it brushed past his body.
"Young Master, you're back." Neuss was waiting at the door of the Temple. He didn't sleep at all. He was the first one to greet Dean.
Dean nodded and led Poland into the Temple.
Neuss handed a cup of hot tea to Dean: "Master, you have worked hard. Are you hurt?"
"No." Dean took a sip of hot tea to dispel some of the chill in his left hand. He looked at Poland: "How long does it take to make the magic tool?"
Poland was secretly awestruck as he saw the magnificent hall. Although he didn't know much about the matters of the outer wall but he knew that Dean's influence in the outer wall was extraordinary. It showed that Dean's power in the outer wall was monstrous. Plus his strength was comparable to that of the pioneers. It was estimated that the entire outer wall was in his hands.
He couldn't guess Dean's purpose: "It will take at least one month."
"One month?" Dean slightly frowned: "I can't wait that long. I'll give you at most half a month!"
Poland replied: "Absolutely not in half a month. If I'm not wrong then you don't have the equipment to make the magic tool. One month is very tight."
"I'll only give you half a month." Dean said in a cold voice: "You don't have to worry about the equipment. Tell me what you need and I'll send people to cooperate with you. If you can't make it in half a month then you don't need to breathe."
Poland was angry as he saw Dean was so overbearing: "The process of making the magic tool is complicated. Unless you can ask my former colleagues to help you, otherwise I won't be able to make it in half a month."
"I'll personally assist you. You don't need to talk about it anymore." Dean waved his hand: "Write a list of the materials and equipment you need. I'll ask someone to prepare them. Also tell me the process of making the magic tool."
Poland was annoyed as he thought: "What's the use of helping me? You're adding to my troubles!" But he knew that it was useless to say more. He could only rely on Dean. "To make the magic tool you need to cut off half of the Parasitic Soul Worm from the owner's body. This is the key to making the magic tool. Only in this way can the magic tool replace the mutation of the body. Moreover, the magic tool can only be used by the corresponding owner. If it falls into the hands of others then it's just an ordinary weapon."
Dean nodded slightly. He had learned from Aisha that cutting off half of the Parasitic Soul Worm was the most dangerous step in making the magic tool. The Parasitic Soul Worm would enter the body and form magic marks. It was the biggest weakness of the human body. Cutting off half of the magic marks was equivalent to cutting off half of the heart. If one wasn't careful then one would lose his life. So the general people who made the magic tool would do it before the magic marks were implanted into the body.
Such conditions could only be achieved by the Witcher family or the military. For example, Aisha's magic tool was made when she was very young. She had cut off the Parasitic Soul Worm and only implanted half of it into the body.
This harsh condition was a huge threshold for many pioneers who had evolved into pioneers through their own opportunities. After all, cutting off the magic marks was life-threatening. If it was light, they would be disabled, but if it was heavy, they would die. Not all pioneers dared to cut off the magic marks to make demon hunting tools. Therefore, most pioneers chose to abandon their own bodies, regardless of their image.
Most of these pioneers were sent outside the giant wall to guard the wasteland so as not to frighten the people.
"The process of cutting off the magic marks will be dangerous if I'm alone." Poland saw Dean's calm expression and thought that he didn't know the danger. He explained: "The probability of death is at least 50% and 70% is likely to cause disability. If you have the most advanced equipment in the institute and find two PhD's then the success rate will be much higher. At most there's only a 20% chance of failure."
Dean nodded slightly. The probability of 20% was not low. Not everyone dared to take such a risk.
"Isn't there another way?" Dean looked at him.
Poland was startled. He didn't expect Dean to know so much. He hesitated for a moment: "Indeed, there is another way. That is to find the same kind of Parasitic Soul Worm and cut off half of it to make the magic tool. The other half will be used as nutrients to integrate into the magic marks in the body. Then take a drop of blood from the magic marks.
Dean saw that he wasn't lying. He nodded slightly. This method was told to him by Aisha. But this method was rarely used. It was almost a forgotten method.
It should be known that only those who had evolved to the Limitless Realm would need a Demon Hunting Tool, and the production of a Demon Hunting Tool required enormous wealth and connections. Even in the Dragon Race, only core members of the clan or those with outstanding aptitude could receive the support of the clan and be given a Demon Hunting Tool. Ordinary members had no chance of applying for it. As for the core members, most of them would apply to make the magic tool from an early age. So there was no need to cut off the magic marks from the body.
Therefore, in addition to this kind of people, most of the people who didn't have a strong enough relationship with the family would apply to make the magic tool after they were promoted to pioneers.
