Upon hearing the word 'resurrection', Hoffa's ears immediately perked up. Suddenly, he forgot about the big explosion and saving the world.
"What? You can resurrect? "
"Yes."
Nicole Lemay took out the necklace. "I've been looking for this for many years, but there are still some things missing. I can only rely on you to make up for these things."
He waved at Hoffa with a trembling hand. "Come and see."
After that, he took out an old key from a bottle and walked to the wall. He inserted the key into an inconspicuous hole in the wall and turned it with a click.
The wall rumbled and opened to reveal a dark blue wall of ice behind it. Suddenly, the room was filled with cold air.
Hoffa scratched his head. There was ice behind the wall. What was this guy up to?
Nicole Lemay tightened her robe, took out her wand, and tapped the ice wall. A pair of light blue eyes opened on the wall. The blue eyes looked at Nicole Lemay and then at Hoffa. Then, they opened like a mouth, and the light blue ice bricks were its teeth.
Nicole Lemay waved at Hoffa, and then slowly walked down the light blue ice mouth.
Hoffa frowned and walked behind her. "What is this?"
"An ice fairy. She helps me guard the treasury."
With that, Nicole Lemay shivered. She tapped herself with her wand, and a puff of green smoke came out, dispersing the dense ice on her body.
As the two walked down, the water vapor they exhaled turned into ice in the blink of an eye.
The temperature was getting lower and lower, gradually dropping to negative 100 degrees Celsius, and it was still dropping. Even at night, Huo Fa felt that his body couldn't take it anymore. His blood felt like it was about to freeze to death. He could feel that his lungs were rapidly freezing and healing. It was extremely painful, but for the sake of the word "resurrection", he endured it and didn't utter a single word.
When they reached the bottom of the ice tunnel, a pure steel door appeared in front of them. It was densely covered with chains and keyholes. It was like the vault lock of a Swiss bank.
Just as Hoffa was wondering what Nicole Lemay was hiding and why the security was so tight,
Nicole Lemay said, "Don't touch that iron door. It's an explosive lock. As long as someone touches it, there will be a big explosion."
After that, the old man turned a corner and knocked on the most inconspicuous ice wall behind the steel door with his wand. The ice surface parted to the left and right again, revealing a hidden staircase that led downwards.
Hoffa exhaled a white breath, thinking that this old man was really sneaky. He used the steel door as a smokescreen. If someone came down to steal something, they would definitely subconsciously think that the treasure was hidden behind the iron door. If they touched it, they would definitely be blown to death.
But he was curious. What was it that Nicole Lemay valued so much? Could it be the legendary Magic Stone?
With this doubt, the two walked down the deep stairs together.
The temperature was lower, and the color was darker.
At the bottom, Nicole Lemay waved her wand. "Fluttering Fluorescent Light."
Countless silver light spots flew out from the wand, illuminating the ice basement that wasn't too big.
Hoffa's expression did not change. The darkness did not affect his vision. He had already seen the furnishings of the basement. There were only two things in the basement.
One was a freezer, and the other was an iron box on the table.
"What did you want me to see?" he asked.
Nicole Lemay raised her wand and tapped it on the wall.
On the frost-covered wall, there was a huge picture.
It was a simple picture of a trinity, with three elements surrounding a single point.
"I don't know if you've heard of blood, flesh, bones, and soul," Nicole Lemay said slowly. "The four substances that make up the human body."
Hoffa looked at the triangle on the wall and nodded slowly.
"Among these four substances, apart from the soul which cannot be replaced, the body is something that can be replaced. Many Magi have realized this since ancient times."
Nicole Lemay raised the necklace in her hand and whispered, "This is why I have to protect Chloe's soul no matter what. If her soul is sent to the Secret Realm of Death, it will be almost impossible to get it back."
Hoffa exhaled a white breath and thought of something. He couldn't help but clench his fists.
"I want to resurrect her." Nicole Lemay said, "But it's not as simple as blood, flesh, and bones. The conditions are very harsh …"
"I know." Hoffa interrupted him. "The bones of a father, the blood of an enemy, and the flesh of a servant. Am I right? "
"Hiss!"
Nico Lemay gasped, a hint of astonishment flashing through her eyes. She asked in a low voice, "You know? You've studied it? "
Hoffa shook his head and looked at the necklace in the old man's hand. He whispered, "I've only heard about it, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. Have you collected all the elements?"
Nico Lemay nodded. She walked to the metal box on the table and opened it with a click. Huo Fa stuck his head out to take a look. It was a bright red bone, as if it had just been removed from a human body.
"This is Chloe's father's bone." Nicole Lemay said, "It's also the bone of my great-great-great-grandson. He lost his right leg in a car accident."
Car accident?
Hoffa thought for a moment. "Since the father's bone is here, what about the servant's flesh? Do you need me to contribute a piece?"
"It's great that you think this way."
Nicole Lemay smiled. "If we can use your flesh to resurrect her, that would be great. But if you don't want to, we can find other servants. This condition is not too harsh."
"But, the blood of an enemy …"
Hoffa immediately frowned and realized where the problem was. Chloe was a peaceful nun who spent the first half of her life in the convent. How could she have enemies? Even if she had enemies, it would probably be the natives who destroyed the convent.
But fifty years had passed. Her body had long turned to ash. Where could they find the blood of an enemy?
Nicole Lemay saw Hoffa's worry and laughed. "Do you think I didn't do anything in the past fifty years, Bach?"
He walked to the only freezer in the room and said proudly, "This is the reason why I built this freezer. For fifty years, to preserve a portion of blood without damaging it."
With that, he pulled open the freezer's door.
White cold air blew against his face, and when the ice fog dissipated.
When the fog dissipated, Hoffa saw a black, wrinkled body lying in the freezer. He was leaning against the freezer. He was as thin as a monkey. His strange face covered in frost was filled with confusion and confusion.
Recognizing his identity, Hoffa's eyes widened. He couldn't help but take a step back. His hand subconsciously pressed on the scar on his chest.
Manse!!
The only person Chloe had killed in her life. Her only enemy.
He actually appeared in front of him again after fifty years. He even maintained the same posture as when he died.
At this moment, his breathing stopped.
Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. It was as if he had finally succeeded in chasing a girl after years of hard work. This made him feel the kindness of the world again.
Nicole Lemay laughed. "Everything that you experienced in Bournemouth was under my observation. A few minutes after you left, I took back his body. For the past fifty years, I have carefully cared for this body, regardless of the cost. I promise you that the blood of this body will be fresh and usable."
"Then revive her. What are you waiting for?"
Hoffa grabbed the old man's shoulder. "Blood, bones, flesh. You have all the conditions. Hurry up and revive her."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch …"
Probably because he was too excited, Nicole Lemay's shoulder was almost broken by him.
Hoffa realized that he had lost his composure and quickly let go of his hand.
"You think too much. It's not that simple. Although I'm good at alchemy, I'm not good enough to refine a human body." Nicole Lemay sighed. "Legend has it that many years ago, the second of the three great alchemists, Pévlier Pévlier, lost his lover. He was obsessed with the research of resurrection. Not only did he develop the resurrection stone to preserve a person's soul, he also developed the secret technique of refining a human body.
Although in the end, he was unable to truly revive his lover. But he left behind this secret technique. The secret technique of refining a human body is the best alchemy technique in the Sorcerer World. It is also one of the most forbidden magic. "
After a pause, he smiled bitterly. "Although I know that the three most important materials are the bones of a father, the blood of an enemy, and the flesh of a servant. But this doesn't mean that I can just throw these three materials into a pot and refine a body. This kind of ability that involves the creation of life must be extremely precise and complicated. "
After a pause, he said, "I need the real formula, the original formula with the real details. And this formula is only known by one person in the world."
Hoffa's eyes widened, as if he had guessed something. "Could … could it be …"
Nicole Lemay looked at him, her eyes flashing with the fanaticism of an alchemist. Hoffa had seen this fanaticism in Norbert's eyes before. "That's right. The only person who knows the real details of this secret technique, the only remaining descendant of Cadmus Pévlier, is also your classmate.
Tom Marvolo Liddell. "
