Act 272. The brutal truth
Eiffel!!!
While others marveled at the wisdom of the sea wolf's words, Reiner's heart stirred up a storm.
Because he learned from the mouth of that child, Brighton, that the last child who died of Osborne Carala's disease was named Eiffel!
Of course, Baptiste could well say that it was in honor of the dead child that the newborn sea wolf was given the same name, and no one thought of anything else.
But Reiner doesn't think so.
He had a vague feeling that Baptiste had a deeper connection with the children, and in order to avoid the worst he could guess, Reiner told Baptiste about his speculation about the theory of evolution, hoping to make him understand what he was doing.
Unexpectedly, things have come to this point.
Reiner didn't speak, he was thinking about what to do next.
Baptiste made the sea wolf speak some basic sentences, which were slurred and slow, but it was true that, with practice, the sea wolf would soon be able to master the human way of speaking.
It's incredible.
Everyone was extremely shocked, although it was not enough to shake their cognition, but it still had a great impact on their original thoughts.
Reiner noticed that Jane was motionless, her face was pale, and she seemed to have been hit hard, and she took two steps back, leaning against the wall, looking extremely weak.
Arimia instinctively felt a wave of nausea.
Not because of something in mind, but because when a creature that was originally known suddenly appears in a human manner, humans will have a strong sense of resistance to it.
Baptiste's introduction ended quickly, and he left the lab with the group.
As the group was about to go back to their rooms to rest, Reiner stopped Edgar and Agnes.
"Both, and Mr. Baptiste, I have some questions I want to discuss with you."
Reiner said, Edgar raised an eyebrow, but didn't explicitly refuse, and Agnes seemed to be still immersed in what she had just seen, nodding slightly.
Baptiste squinted and looked at Reiner.
"Mr. Baptiste, the sea wolf I saw just now does have a high level of intelligence and learning ability, but I have a question."
Reiner kept his distance from Baptiste and said.
"The name of this sea wolf is Eiffel, and from Brighton's mouth, I learned that there was also a child in the research institute, whose name was also Eiffel, but that Eiffel child has passed away due to illness, I don't know what is the connection between the two?"
Reiner's words made Edgar's eyes widen slightly, and he stared at Baptiste, waiting for an answer.
“...... Three, please come with me. ”
Baptiste was silent for a moment, and instead of explaining, he said so.
Reiner touched his Hohenheim Gold Cup ring and followed Baptiste's footsteps.
The four of them made their way through the research area to the fourth building, where Reiner smelled the smell of disinfectant water, which, if he guessed correctly, was supposed to be the area where Osborne Carrall's disease was studied.
At the same time, it is also the last place for children who are sick.
Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Baptiste opened the door to a patient room.
It can be seen that a child is lying on the hospital bed in the middle of the room, and when Reiner investigates slightly, he finds that he has no breathing and no heartbeat, but his body is still a little warm, obviously, he has just died.
"It's ......"
Edgar didn't understand, and he looked at Baptiste.
"This is Eiffel, the child that Mr. Ian Gray is talking about."
Baptiste came to the bedside and gently raised his hand to caress the other's cheek, which had become cold.
"Eiffel's favorite thing to eat is gingerbread, and he likes to read Roland. Phil's adventure legend, he said that he had a sister, he hoped that all the ills could stay on him, and let his sister grow up healthy, before he died, Eiffel held my hand tightly, and he said that he had lived a very happy life. ”
As if muttering to himself, Baptiste said.
"Jack, he always likes to be strong, he is the eldest among the children, once, it was obvious that someone else broke the teacup, but Jack still stood up and admitted his mistake, he has a very good imagination, often tells the children who don't know how to read the stories he has seen in books, he was extremely painful when he was sick, the pain made his whole body convuls, but this child, until he died, did not shed a single tear because of this."
"Rose is a girl who loves beauty, always dresses herself up beautifully, she is good at handicraft, she will mend clothes for other children, her father is a tailor, but after Rose was born, he abandoned her to the hospital ward, when Rose became ill, her body was already extremely weak, so she left on the third day of the disease, and when she left peacefully, as if she was asleep."
"Ral was a mischievous man, he often broke things, he was a picky eater when he ate, but he always saved the good food for the younger children, and he once said that he would become a mage in the future, a mage who could bring hope to others, but he was also the youngest child to die, and he died at the age of ten."
Baptiste spoke several things about children that Reiner had not heard, and his words were so sincere that there was no false emotion, and he did remember all the things about each child.
"What is the relationship between these children and those animals?"
Edgar questioned at this point, he had guessed probably, but was still waiting for an answer.
"I watched them die, and then, I extracted their souls and transplanted them into animals through an ingenious magic."
Baptiste said, his tone indifferent, as if what he was doing was normal.
"Of course, the initial attempt was a failure, many animals were unable to combine with human souls, especially the souls of humans who had just died, and those creatures had strong resistance and eventually died violently, in fact, it was only in the last year that this magic was able to stabilize the soul on the body of the sea wolf."
"This is a serious violation of the rules of the Magic Association!"
Edgar couldn't sit still at this time, the Magic Association strictly forbade these ancient necromantic magic, including the manipulation and transfer of souls, the creation of the human body, etc., just Baptiste extracted the souls of the dead children, enough to sentence him to death five times!
"Of course I know it's against the rules of the Magical Society, Edgar."
Baptiste said coldly, but then, with a gloomy expression.
"But I have no other way to save these children."
