Chapter 52: The Forbidden Resurrection Magic

As if I had seen the light of day, I hurriedly asked, "Tranquility Gem? Is it the gem on my stud earrings? Isn't it expensive......" I think I only have 10 gold coins, and I don't know if I can afford it.

"It's not expensive, it's rarer, and there are fewer super-superiors. Anyway, there's still hope for you."

I smiled, and I gladly accepted her obviously comforting words.

"That's right, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so take your time." I simply laughed.

"It's not to comfort you, although there are few such gems, it is not without them after all, but because this gem has no practical value, it is rare for magicians to do it."

"Doing?" What's going on? Is this gem still made?

"Well, yes, this gem is usually an assessment for some academies when they train magicians."

"Then, do we have such an academy in Huaying City?"

"Can I buy a few as an earl?" After all, it was a magician who did it.

"Hey—" Anna sighed helplessly, "You're really...... You are too naïve to think about it, the Tranquility Gem is a kind of magic crystallization, and it is also an extremely complex one. Usually there are no students in the academy who go back to study this gem because the chance of failure of this gem is too great, even if every step is done correctly, the failure rate is 98%. And even if someone makes it, it doesn't have any practical value. Because although this is a magic crystal, it can't store magic power at all, and can only suppress the holder's lust. So, how can there be a normal person who wants to suppress lust? Also, our Huaying City is in a military location, so there is no academy."

"So, sister, can't you do it?" I pretended to be pitiful and begged.

After listening to her story, I felt that this thing could still stump Anna who could resurrect me? She should be able to do it.

"What you can do is what you can do, what you bring now is what I made, two that I made when I was bored when I was in school."

"Isn't this a superordinate?"

"It's a shame that the two I made were from my superiors. Actually, I also want to be a super superior, but I've been doing it for more than ten years, and I still can't do it."

"Well, well, that's a ...... Hey......"

So what to do? Where can I get it?

"Well, in that case, if there are multiple high-level Tranquility Gems, will it have an effect?" I continued to ask.

"It's useless."

She rejected me directly, I was really a little disappointed in my heart, sure enough, this world can't make everything go well for me, I smiled bitterly, "Okay—I'll see you tomorrow, Anna."

I was a little desperate, and I turned around to leave the library.

"Eh—look at other people's protagonists, and then look at me, how can I become a demon if I'm impartial?"

"But the demon is also quite handsome......"

[Looking at Ninety-Nine's lost appearance, Anna couldn't bear it, she couldn't help but think of Yun Feibai's sister. 】

Anna answered, "Ninety-nine! Actually, I've asked the general to help you find it."

"Oh, Crab." I forced a cheerful reply and continued walking.

But suddenly another doubt came to my mind, and I casually asked, "By the way, sister." Can you raise the dead?"

Suddenly, her eyes changed, and she looked at me angrily, "You...... Why do you ask?"

I think I might be asking if something happened, is it taboo to resurrect the dead? Is it steeled?

"Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I, I just wonder if I can come back from the dead and lift this curse on me. I think a magician as powerful as you, sister, should ......," I replied in a panic.

"Hehehe." She smiled a little relieved, "I'm sorry, I seem to have misunderstood what you meant. You mean to say, you die first, and then let me resurrect you, and you think that then your curse will disappear."

"Well, yes, sister," I bowed my head and looked at my sister in fear, pretending to be cowardly.

"I see, but unfortunately, I don't. Even if I could, Rust syndrome," Anna said flatly.

"Oh I see, okay, hehe." I smiled again with relief, "That'...... Sister, what were you thinking just now?"

"Uh......" Anna hesitated suddenly, "Okay, I'll tell you about it. I don't know why, but I always want to say a few more words when I'm with you."

"Hey...... I laughed sheepishly.

"I thought you were talking about resurrection magic, a forbidden magic that manipulates dead people or corpses that have gone underground through dark magic."

"Oh, it's like an army of zombies?"

"Well, that's it...... Well...... Forget it."

Anna suddenly stopped talking about it in the middle of speaking, which made me even more curious about how a resurrection magic could be so mysterious.

"Don't, sister, what's wrong with the resurrection magic?" I stared at Anna with bullied eyes.

"Hey-well, then I'm going to say the next, you'd better not tell anyone."

[Anna said as she cast a 'silence' spell without Ninety-Nine noticing, and a colorless barrier enveloped Ninety-Nine and Anna. 】

"Well, okay, I won't say." I replied earnestly.

"You don't seem to know anything about magic, but you have a good brain, so I'm telling you about it, so you have to promise not to reveal what I've told anyone else!" Anna's serious expression and hoarse voice made me realize that I really said something that I shouldn't have said.

I nodded, "yes, I promise. Don't tell anyone."

So Anna began to say to me with a serious face, "Well, resurrection magic, as far as I know, there are only three kinds of resurrection magic, the first is to resurrect corpses, and in this way it is only corpses that are resurrected, and even if they have it, they have no way to control their own bodies."

"The second is the resurrection magic, which is a way to resurrect others, and it is necessary to find a substitute ghost of the same age and gender as the deceased, so that the dead can be resurrected and an innocent person die."

"The third is the least known, the magic of regeneration and resurrection. This magic can resurrect a person perfectly, with their own consciousness and no decay of their body's lifespan. It's a perfect resurrection magic without any side effects."

"Oh?!" Hearing this, I couldn't contain the surprise in my heart.

"Don't worry about this joy yet, these three spells all have common characteristics, they need to have a foundation of dark magic, and at the same time, they need a very large amount of dark elemental magic." When Anna speaks, she can emphasize the word 'very'. But I didn't pay much attention to this question, what I did care about was: why resurrection magic is dark magic!

Ahh

Well???

Instantly, a whole bunch of question marks popped up in my head.

Is this still resurrection magic? Why is such a sacred thing as resurrection a dark elemental magic magic?!

"Holy? The resurrection is a blasphemy against theocracy!" Anna looked at me angrily, and in the blink of an eye, she gave me a hesitant look.

I froze, frightened by Anna's hoarse rebuke.

Following Anna's gaze hesitantly left my gaze, she continued, "These three spells, no matter which one they are, are forbidden spells, so it's best not to mention them in front of others. Especially the third resurrection magic, it is impossible for ordinary humans, adventurers, or other races to know."

I nodded.

"So, you have to understand: 'It's not a serious magician who can use resurrection magic.'" Of course, there is an exception to this, and that is the secret method of the elves, a resurrection magic of the light element, which is also counted as a third resurrection magic, and is a perfect magic with no side effects. It's just that that magic is only passed down among the elven elders, and it will never be passed on."

"Huh? How do you know that, sister?"

"Huh." Anna smiled bitterly with helplessness in her eyes, "It's just a coincidence."

Anna was a little distracted when she spoke, and I understood that she didn't want to say it, so I didn't ask deeply, and changed the subject: "Then, may I ask my sister, just now you said that these magic spells all need to consume a lot of mana, so how much does the third resurrection magic cost?"

I smirked, "Hehe, I was resurrected four times when I was captured by the demon and interrogated. Hehehe......"

Just when I'm pretending to be stupid, smack! Anna frowned and gently smacked me with her super-thick book. Anna angrily accused, like her sister, "So! It's a miracle that you survive at the hands of demons!"

I think it was smashed gently, otherwise how could I still be standing here, I would definitely be stoned to death!

Anna glanced at me unhappily, then immediately closed her eyes, thought for a moment, rubbed the bridge of her nose and replied, "Hey-I don't know the specifics, but if it is the secret method of the elven clan, to resurrect the body of a child like yours, it is estimated that it will take at least 4 seventh-level elven clan elders to do it. And if it's magic used by demons...... I guess it's only a lot more mana consumed."

After listening to this, my eyes widened.

4 bits level 7?? Does it take so much mana to resurrect it?!

You must know that the races in this world have a level cap, like the Red Devil Clan, the highest can only reach level 5, but to resurrect a child as young as me actually needs 4 level 7 elf clan elders!? It's simply incomprehensible.

Then I remembered that Merck, who actually resurrected me four times in a row! Oh my God, how much magic does this PM2.5 have!

At the same time, I also understood why General Yun looked like that when he came out to save me. Obviously, the demon clan is so strong, but when the general saved me, none of them were gone...... Empty city plan? If it were me, I would definitely have palpitations.

Just as I was sorting out my thoughts alone, Anna's expression suddenly became serious. A murderous cold light instantly surged into her eyes, and Ling Lingshuang's aura was reflected in Anna's eyes: "Huh?! What did you just say?!"

"Sister...... How do I feel that you forcibly read my mind, didn't you say that you can't hear what I don't want you to know?" We, did I say the wrong thing again? No way.

"Huh...... I'm sorry...... Because, anyway, I'm still a little skeptical of what you're saying. Hey, hey." She smiled embarrassedly, but the murderous aura in her eyes did not fade.

"Hmm-I'm not going to be with you if you do this again! Why doubt me?" I pretended to be angry and deliberately sold cute.
