Chapter 123: Undead Disaster!
"Scalpel...... Tweezers!"
Outside the mansion, Lighthouse Officer Mason leads the remaining soldiers to keep guard, and inside the mansion, Charlotte and her disciples are dissecting the remaining living walking corpses.
The multiverse defines a mage as a scholar, a researcher, a frontier explorer, a seeker of truth, and a wielder of power. They wield transcendent powers through the pursuit of truth, the nature of magical powers and phenomena, and the study of changes in the relationship between all things, and among them, mages who master necromancy and spells are the most sophisticated biologists among them.
Because of Sylvia, Charlotte currently specializes in illusion and mind spells, but in addition, because he has studied memory processing, he and Claire have also studied necromancy and spells together.
Because of this, he also has a good understanding of anatomy. At this time, he carried out the dissection, he held the knife very steadily, and his strong arithmetic and memory skills allowed him to cut through the muscles of the walking corpse with one hand, cut off part of the gallbladder, and at the same time took the tweezers handed by Vivian and removed the gallbladder.
Throughout the process, the walking corpse remained active, and Charlotte's dissection technique was not as delicate and stable as Claire's, but it was second to none in Icewind Castle.
Vivien and Lolita have great admiration for their teacher, and no matter how much the two girls catch up, they always find that there is still a big gap between them and the teacher. Charlotte has a wide range of subjects, not only specializing in illusion and mind, but also in various categories such as time and space, destruction, necromancy, spells, change, protection, enchantment, prophecy, and more.
Even if he doesn't dabble in the prophecy and enchantment categories that are a little deeper, in fact, he is not much better than the average mage of the same level.
Memory processing has given him all-round abilities, which is why he was once called the 'Mobile Library'.
The gallbladder is placed in a petri dish and Charlotte takes a break. Taking advantage of this time, Vivien and Lolita placed the petri dish on the research table and activated the circle on it. The circle with the property of accelerating cultivation was running rapidly, and after a while, the petri dish was filled with pale green mist.
Vivien and Lolita watched through a special instrument for a while, and the two women exchanged views with each other for a while, and neither of them looked very optimistic.
"Teacher?" Vivien looked at Charlotte uneasily, "Lolita and I finished observing......"
"What is the result?" Charlotte asked, rubbing her eyebrows and stepping forward, adjusting the observation instrument that resembled a microscope.
"To be honest, the results are not too promising. ”
"Vivien and I both believe that it is likely to be the Undead Scourge, these plague viruses are extremely contagious and lethal, and indeed have strange magical powers. ”
Vivien finally added, "There is a strange anger in the lifelessness, just like the book describes." ”
Charlotte was noncommittal, and he began to carefully observe the germs in the petri dish. As Vivien and Lolita said, it wasn't your average plague. Under the influence of strange forces, the germs multiply at an incredible rate, and Charlotte tries to kill them with medicine, but with little success.
They are initially killed by the drug, but are soon able to reproduce again and eat the drug back. Charlotte felt the strange power, just as Vivien had judged in the end, but with a strange and pure anger in the dead air. That is the power of death, representing reincarnation, the mystery of the dead.
Charlotte wiped the sweat from her forehead, her crimson pupils solemn.
"This is truly a scourge of the dead. ”
At this time, Vivian and Lolita's nervousness was gone, and the two girls were strangely relieved. Now they don't need to wait anxiously for the results, they just need to think about how to solve the problem under the teacher's arrangement.
"What are we going to do next?" asked Lolita, "Do you want to contact Icewind Castle? Need Icewind Castle support?"
"Don't think about it, this is the Lighthouse's sphere of influence, and Icewind Castle has no excuse or reason to support. Charlotte shook her head in disapproval, "Unless I rush back to Icewind Castle now to take over my own mage tower, and recruit people who are willing to work for me, and then do it in my personal name." But by then, the daylilies were cold. ”
"I think there is something in mind about setting up the Scourge of the Dead in this place, right?" Vivien said, "This is the northernmost part of the lighthouse, and although it seems to be bordering the Duchy of Durally, it is actually separated from the Duchy of Durali by the large, medium, and small aristocratic forces of the central and northern parts of the original empire. In this land, the forces of all parties are entangled, the three parties contain each other, and the control forces of each party are not very strong. Not to mention Icewind Castle, even the close Archduke Durally is not willing to easily wade into this troubled water before the situation is clear, right? Doesn't it mean that Archduke Durally is now leading the noble group in the middle of the empire to confront Archduke Lawrence?"
Born into a noble family of squires, Vivien was more sensitive to politics.
As Vivien analyzed, the madman who set up the undead scourge here did calculate the minds of all forces. The lighthouse has just been established, and the domestic situation is not stable; Durally is in a tense confrontation with Erosa, where will he foolishly provoke the great enemy of the lighthouse; and the small and medium-sized aristocratic forces, they are just the power barrier of Durally to defend against the lighthouse, if the lighthouse takes the initiative to attack, it will be fine, but as the leader of the alliance, the Grand Duke of Durally will never allow this group of nobles to take the initiative to provoke the lighthouse.
As for the rest of the forces that have the strength to meddle in this area...... What are you kidding, who would do such a thankless job by beating cattle across the mountains. And if you make a rash move, you will only be regarded as enemies by the three forces and rejected by all of them, right?
Although Charlotte is the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, the powerful political system of Icewind Castle is not as strong as that of Erosa, and his power is even more different from that of Aven, who is also the Grand Duke. Coupled with the fact that he has been absent from the country for many years, his influence on the inner ring council of Icewind Castle is even more dispensable.
Now that Sylvia is far away from the Outlands, the two sisters Dema and Dinah, who are the main sisters of Icewind Castle, are foolish and loyal. If you want to get support from your homeland, you can't help but contact Sylvia and ask her to give her orders.
Charlotte fears that the undead scourge is the origin of Winter, and after a little thought, he immediately uses the teleportation badge to try to send a signal to Sylvia. But it's a pity that I don't know if my sister has gone to a universe that is even farther away from the world of Steeu, and the distance between the walls of multiple worlds makes the signal of the communication badge extremely weak.
"There's no way, it seems that I can only come by myself. Charlotte shook her head, "No, it's not right. At least we can't just worry about this, and I'm sure that no matter how stupid the lighthouse is, it knows what to expect. ”
"That's probably the best thing to do, don't let those nasty guys watch the show!" Lolita had no objection to that.
"Besides, it would be nice to find a way to get in touch with Grand Duke Durally. Vivien suggested.
"But how do we get in touch?" Lolita was a little distressed, "The teacher's father is fighting with the Grand Duke of Durally to the death, and if we rush over, won't we become prisoners sent to the door?"
Charlotte didn't care about this, "It's okay, just leave these political problems to the lighthouse to worry about." As a technician, you only have to think about the technical issues!"
With that, he asked Vivien to call Mason in.
