Chapter 199: Sewage Room Campfire
"Oh my God! With Izaris on top, I knew it wouldn't be so easy to come out...... It hurts me. After using a spell attack, Lawrendis fell to the ground again, and the wound on his back was still gurgling and bleeding.
"I'm sorry, we should have been careful to clean this area thoroughly, your injuries look serious." Ciri is apologetic because she feels like she didn't spot the hidden enemies around her in time.
"It's not your fault, if you hadn't warned me that I would have died by now, of course I'd be lucky enough to wake up from the campfire. But I don't think any immortal likes to try the taste of death, after all, maybe next time he will become a living corpse...... Ahem, I can't die from this injury, but I guess it will take at least a day to get back into action, and the original bottle is empty......"
"Thank you, Mr. Spellcaster, for taking the time to explain so much to us. And then this one makes you feel better. Julia tossed him a small red glass bottle.
"What is this, huh...... It tastes like blood-red moss balls, and it's the first time I've tried it. Lawrendis apparently believed in them, and drank the blood-red potion in one go. Oh! Don't say it, it's great. Well...... I could feel the warmth of a strange power in my back, and the wound didn't hurt so much, and honestly, if it weren't for the red color of this thing, I would have thought it was an primordial bottle. ”
Lawrendis turned his head to see the wound on his back with his own eyes, and of course he couldn't, unless the undead's head could spin like an owl, so the way he looked now was a bit hilarious.
"Alright, Mr. Spellcaster, let me take care of your wounds. I'm still an alchemist, and I'm experienced in treating the wounded. Seeing this, Yulia stepped forward and began to help the sorcerer check for his injuries.
And this is also in order to collect and study the actual efficacy of the blood red potion, in fact, to her surprise in this regard, both the poisonous purple moss ball and the blood red moss ball can work on both humans and the undead. It's like magic can be cast by humans and the undead, and heal both humans and the undead.
So what exactly is the difference between the so-called undead and humans, or what are they the same? The undead were all human beings before they died, does this essentially mean that the physiological structure of the two is basically the same? Is the curse of the undead a kind of external force that causes the human soul to return to its original body again, or is the curse itself the essence of the human being?
In the past, human beings' birth, old age, sickness and death were only caused by the influence of a certain force, but now that force is gradually weakening, and the "nature" of human beings is exposed.
This idea is not out of nowhere, because there are only three known supreme god-kings in this world. God-King Gwen gives light to the world so that all things can grow; The witch of Izaris tried in vain to create flames and was eaten up by Chaos; Tomb King Nit...... He is just a king who only wants to stay underground and taste death and darkness, and it is not in his character to resurrect the dead.
None of them seem to be the real culprits of the curse...... But the most important point, and one that Yulia attaches more importance to, is that at the beginning of the flames, "they" rose from the darkness and gained strength from the flames.
And what about before the flames appeared? No matter what sect of myths and legends, "they" are not born from flames, and what is the true form of "them" in the dark?
Yulia tried not to think about it, although Orlan didn't tell her explicit at the beginning, but she knew that the flames were gradually "extinguished", and it happened to be the current situation of the gradual "birth" of the undead.
As for whether the undead were created to inherit the flame, or whether the undead were born because the flame was about to be extinguished...... This is the result that Yulia has always wanted to seek, thousands of miles away from a single step, and she needs to know more about the undead.
"My blood-red potion has been refined through the alchemy of campfires, and I wonder if the primordial vial in your undead mouth has the same effect. Now that the wound on your back is healing well, I think it won't be long before you'll be able to move freely. Julia said to Laurendis.
"Is alchemy so magical? I'm more or less a sorcerer, but the haughty mages are good at it. As for the primordial bottles, they are the things that the undead use to save their lives, and we can fill them from the campfire. You say that the healing effect is stronger than your potion, but the only downside is that it doesn't give me the symptoms of bleeding or poisoning. ”
Lawrendis reluctantly sat up, and then continued: "By the way, I'll take you to the campfire at the end of the passage not far away, which is the only safe place and can allow me to recover from my injuries in the shortest time." ”
The three of them rested in place, using a vial of Bloodred Elixir every hour in Lawrendis, and after drinking a total of three vials, he was finally able to stand up and move freely.
"Follow me, I know a safer passage, at least until I meet those two butchers." Led by Lawrendis, they returned from the pool to the butcher's chopping board. "Right here, you see the butcher must have blocked this secret passage again, and we need to move these chests."
Ciri stepped forward and drew his blade to split open the wooden box, but fortunately the effect of the pine resin had almost disappeared by this time, otherwise the wooden box would have burned again.
There was indeed a hole behind the wooden box, and Lawrendis was the first to go inside, and it seemed that he thought it was really safe inside. Yulia and Ciri followed. Their current position must be on the rocky shore on either side of a sewer cistern, and below the low rocky bank, there is an oversized rat staring at the three of them.
"Don't worry, this beast won't climb walls, as long as you don't jump. You see that there is an axe embedded in its left eye, and I have seen the owner of this axe, and I have advised him not to provoke this great beast. But it didn't take long for you to see it, and we could only find his axe. By the way, and his shield, which has been at the end of the sewer......"
They circled the cistern along the stone bank to the right, and then found the rusty staircase in front of them.
"Come with me, I'm glad you met me, and the campfire is in the sewage room. And I always carry the key to the sewage room. ”
Climbing the stairs and turning left, they finally saw a room with an iron door closed, and there seemed to be several living corpses holding torches on the right-hand side.
"Well, I'll open the door, you guys have dealt with the annoying living corpses in front of you, or they'll come knocking on the door at night!" ()
