The rotten flesh on Hunter's body had all been burned out. His eyes were filled with pain, and he slowly crawled towards Kalie.
Lucien took out a glass tube filled with white powder from his pocket and put it in Kalie's hand. Then, he lifted Kalie's clothes and put her in front of Hunter.
"What's this?" Kalie's heart was pounding. A very familiar feeling came from the glass tube. It was the feeling that she had been dreaming about every night. She missed it so much that she almost cried!
Due to the experiment, Hunter's body was almost numb. Holding back the pain of the burning fire, he shouted with his instinct, "Is that … Mary's … ashes?!"
"Mary fell into the relic. Before she died, she asked me to send her home." Lucien did not tell the details, because it was too cruel for a little girl to spend the last period of her life in the World of Souls, which was black, white, and gray, lonely, hungry, and desperate.
Hunter suddenly burst into tears. Two lines of tears mixed with yellowish liquid flowed out, but they were quickly dried by the fire, "Is it because of that damn magic lock? Not only did it make me waste more than twenty years of my life, but it also made me lose little Mary. "Hunter's voice was no longer intermittent, but very clear.
"He knew it." Lucien murmured to himself.
Kalie burst into tears. She was full of pain and regret. The blood and tears on her face were mixed together. While shouting "little Mary", she opened the glass tube and poured the ashes into her mouth. Then, she threw herself on Hunter's body and was burned by the fire together with him.
"Mr. Evans, thank you so much for bringing us together before we die." Kalie held Hunter's head in her arms and kissed Hunter's face with Mary's ashes on her lips.
Lucien looked at the scene quietly. He had mixed feelings, but he still asked, "Mr. Hunter, are you not from Bonn?"
"My hometown is … the Duchy of Djibouti …" Hunter, who knew where his daughter was, did not have the will to continue. He hugged Kalie and "Mary" tightly, and it seemed that he was about to die.
"I don't care why you stayed in Bonn, and I don't care why you married me, but I've always loved you and our daughter," murmured Kaelyn, who had just been burned by the fire.
"Me … too …" Hunter's consciousness blurred. "I really regret … learning … magic …"
His voice stopped abruptly. Hunter was truly dead. Katherine hugged him tightly and ended her own life with the small dagger in her arms.
The flames grew bigger and bigger, and the two corpses slowly turned into ashes.
At this moment, a cold wind blew over and blew away the black and white ashes. Spots of white light appeared out of nowhere and gathered into the cute and transparent figure of Mary. Behind her were the blurry figures of Hunter and Kelly.
The little girl spoke silently, but her voice seemed to echo in Lucien's heart. "Thank you for sending me home, uncle. Hehe, I've finally waited for Daddy and Mommy … "
Most of the spots of light dissipated in the wind, but a small part of them wrapped around Lucien's left hand and turned into a pale white teardrop mark.
As soon as it appeared, Lucien found that his body was quite resistant to the necromancy and decaying gas even without the support of the divine spell to resist the undead creatures.
"Is this a permanent effect?"
Lucien did not expect that the consciousness of gratitude left by Hunter's family would have such a change. However, he did not know much about necromancy, so he had no idea what it was. "Maybe I can check Hunter's notes. He should know a lot about necromancy."
According to Kaelyn, Hunter's lab was in the graveyard, so Lucien did not wait for the fire to die down. He turned around and shouted to Betty, Simon and Joanna, "You guys take care of the rest of the zombies in the castle. I'm going to clean up this evil necromancer's lair." Lucien was quite far away from them, so he had to shout loudly to them.
"Yes, Lord Evans." Betty and the rest of them answered at the same time. In their eyes, Lucien was a powerful saint Knight with many extraordinary items.
After they arrived, Lucien only used Grease, Fireball, and Soul Deliverance to deal with them. Grease did not have any obvious effect, and it was so far away, so unless Betty and the rest of the apprentices were knights or sorcerers, they would not be able to tell that Grease was cast by Lucien himself. Also, Fireball was triggered by a magic item, so there was no need to worry about it.
Of course, Lucien would not take the risk. He would wait for a chance to verify with Charm Person one by one.
…
In the burning cemetery, the door of the laboratory was wide open. It seemed that Hunter could not wait to run out of the laboratory after the experiment was "successful".
Although Lucien was mentally prepared, he still felt disgusted when he walked into the laboratory. The place was like a slaughterhouse. Human bodies were everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the air. Most of the bodies were babies, children, and teenagers. They were cut into different parts, and their internal organs and facial organs were placed on different experiment tables.
Looking around carefully, Lucien found the main long table where Hunter did his experiments. On the long table, there was an inverted Tree of Life, the most famous necromancer in the school of Necromancy. The circle of the ten branches of the tree was empty, but there was a black coffin next to it.
After checking, Lucien opened the black coffin, and what he saw surprised him. Inside the coffin was Mary's body. She was about seven or eight years old, and her face was rosy as if she was sleeping. When Lucien poked the body with his finger, he could feel the elasticity of the body.
Lucien was sure that Mary's real body had been burned into bones by him. Lucien thought to himself, "Did Hunter collect so many bodies of children and babies to make a human body? But obviously, he failed … "
After looking around for a while, Lucien found two black books in the corner. One of them looked like a notebook, and the other one looked like Astrology and Elements. On the two books, there were three words written in the language of the ancient Magic Empire: Book of Necromancy.
Lucien quickly browsed through Book of Necromancy and Hunter's notes. After storing them in the Library of the Soul, Lucien started to read carefully.
According to the records in the magic tower, Bonn in the Duchy of Orvarit was a mysterious relic covered by a magic lock. It seemed to be related to the whereabouts of several ancient legendary sorcerers, including Maskelyne, the Prophet, who was a good friend of necromancer Wilfrid. The place must not be as barren as this magic tower. There must be a lot of magic items and treasures there! I'm going to look for them!
…
"Bonn is a beautiful place. The townspeople are simple and conservative. The girl named Kaelyn is really beautiful."
…
"Why can't I find any trace of a magic lock? What kind of magic lock is it? Was it set up by Maskelyne himself? "
…
"I can't find any clues from the background of the missing people. It seems that I have to give up. But I'm a bit reluctant to leave Bonn. Maybe I should tell her my real identity."
…
"Haha, I have a lovely daughter now! Kaelyn gave birth to a daughter for me. I want to call her Mary. Whatever. Necromancy, the mysterious experiments of the legendary sorcerers such as Wilfrid and Maskelyne, powerful magic items, and precious treasures are not as important as them! "
…
"Mary … Mary is gone! I should've killed all the beasts around here! Is it because of the magic lock? Or is it because of the kidnappers? "
…
"My dear little Mary, come home! Mom and dad miss you so much!"
…
"Kaelyn cries every day. I think we need a new place to live. I also need a good environment to study magic. Maybe I can find little Mary, or maybe I can bring her back to life?"
…
"Haha, in order to extend his life and recover his youth, Baron Habearo in the Foggy Town really killed his own son as I told him! With this dead body, he can maintain his youth for several years! And I can start my study now! "
…
"Why is my body rotting? Why am I smelling so bad? Is it the revenge of the necromancers? Their painful cries seem to be haunting my ears forever. No, I have to advance as soon as possible. As long as I become a middle-rank sorcerer, I can get rid of the pain! "
…
"There is no way for me to become a third-circle sorcerer … Do I have to watch my body rot? Maybe I should try the ritual of 'Sutured Corpse' in the Book of Necromancy, and I should start refining Mary's body. "
…
"Mary's body needs a lot of precious materials, and I've used up all my money. It seems that I have to pawn the only magic items I have. After all, after I turn into a 'Sutured Corpse', I'll be able to cast a third-circle spell!"
…
"A sorcerer I know sent me an invitation. Something about a feast of death? Something about the headquarters of the Continental Magic Congress? If I succeed, maybe I should go and take a look. But where is the Carendia Castle? I have to write a letter and ask. "
"The baron is getting greedier and greedier. He's attacking the minors in his territory more and more frequently. He also wants to find a minor Knight's body to replace his own rotten body. Is it so easy to find a minor Knight?! As long as the experiment succeeds, I'll leave with Kaelyn and Mary. My unrestrained demands will definitely attract the attention of the Church. Hehe, the probationary priest in Fog Town has been refined into a corpse puppet by me. What a unique corpse puppet … "
"The Carendia Castle is deep in the Arlong Mountain next to Korsor …"
Lucien did not expect that there would be such a pleasant surprise. Hunter had recorded the location of the Carendia Castle in his notes, and the invitation letter was also between the two pages.
The rest of the notes were mainly about the ritual of transformation and the refining of Mary's body. Whether Hunter succeeded or not, the valuable data and experience were invaluable treasures for sorcerers.
"It's a pity that Hunter spent all his money and items to refine Mary's body." Lucien put the notes on the table and browsed through the Book of Necromancy. It was a magic book left by the legendary sorcerer Wilfred's disciple, and it recorded most of the necromancy spells and rituals taught by Wilfred. However, Lucien did not find the way to advance into a legendary class, which made him feel quite regretful.
Lucien did not find anything else of value. Holding the invitation letter, he slowly walked out of the magic lab and guided the burning fire in the graveyard to spread over.
Looking at the "Mary" and the bloody corpses burning in the fire, Lucien slowly turned around and said, "What a pity.
"No wonder they used babies, children and teenagers. The ancient necromancers believed that human beings who died before adulthood had the most abundant and pure power of life and death, and they were the best materials for casting spells and rituals."
"Why would Maskelyne, a legendary sorcerer of the school of Astrology, do an experiment with Wilfred, the Lord of Paleness? Also, according to the words he left behind, this experiment is very mysterious and important! " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
