Chapter 12: Name the Screaming Lady

Lulunaka finally jumped off the roof of the carriage shed and stood on the ground. With a basket of flowers in her arms and a wooden cane in her hand, she looked like an innocent girl who had strayed into the killing zone. "Is anyone still standing?" she said as she walked over to Pattin.

Now Patin was half-kneeling with his eyes closed, his sword resting on the ground, and his expression was rather painful. But his situation had already been calculated, and the knights around him who were still standing had already fallen to the ground, bleeding from their eyes, mouth and nose, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Leo behind him didn't look much better, with a nosebleed that landed in his mouth and ran down his lower lip. Leo didn't have the strength to wipe his nosebleed, his hands propped up on the ground, his ears still ringing, and his vision went blank.

Olga was on the edge of the sound wave propping up her upper body, and he was in the same situation as Pattin, his eyes closed, his brow furrowed, and he didn't look much better than Pattin. Underneath him, Romeona and Julius escaped the mortal danger of direct contact with the sound waves, but both were pale and did not look completely fine.

"What's that......" Julius slipped out from under Olga, crawling on his hands and feet, his eyes shining, and his expression of disgust. Now in his eyes, everything is ghosted, and everything is not real. Romeona covered her ears with her hands, her eyes closed, her mouth and ears trembling, unable to utter anything.

It is as if the living have suffered a catastrophe, and the dead are not immune to the consequences of destruction. In the circle centered on the bead, everything moved outward for several points, as if it had been pushed by an invisible hand, leaving obvious trails of dragging. The blood and dirt on the ground mixed together, and the edges of the sound formed a circle of small mounds that looked like some suspicious sacrifice, and the dead bodies around them were sacrifices.

"A piece of ghostly fish bone grinded into powder, two mandrakes, and the dew of the flowers growing in the graveyard were mashed into a pulp—the Forest of the Dead was a huge graveyard, all it was necessary to find the place where the ancient bones were buried—and, a nucleus of a harpy. Ghost fish are found in the sea to the east, mandrakes and dew from the graveyard are the specialties of the forest of the dead, and the nucleus of the harpy is more difficult to find, and it is only in the mountains that the bird-man habitat is found. Lulunaka spoke, as she walked. No one asked her any questions, but she spoke with gusto, as if she were introducing her favorite toy.

Olga's face changed dramatically when she heard these things. Lulunaka is not talking about ordinary things, these things are not mentioned whether they can be bought outside, even if they are favored court mages, some things are rare. In the depths of the Sea of Darkness, the Ghost Fish is 100 meters long and has a terrifying appearance, and the Harpy Banshee lives in a group high on the high mountains, and the scream can shock the weak Black Iron Class warriors to death. Everything else was easy to say, as Lulunaka had said, something that was already in the Forest of the Dead, easier to find, and if she had really lived here for a while, it would not be strange to be familiar with such things as mandrakes. But the bones of the ghost fish and the nucleus of the harpy are not things that can be found if you want to. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to get these things, and even a mage who spends a lot of money has to weigh whether it is worth it.

Olga felt more and more that Lulunaka was unfathomable. How did this girl get these things, or was she just deceiving people, and she didn't really use these rare and precious materials at all?

"It's all something precious, isn't it?" Lulunaka continued, "but there's nothing to show off. Fishbones, grass, and hedron are all good materials, but making a screaming bomb out of them doesn't make me feel much proud or satisfied. Through a very primitive grinding and squeezing technique, these materials are made into powder and pulp, mixed together, and dried into powder, as if preparing gunpowder, and the characteristics of the material are fully brought into play. By some special and secret means, the screams and screams of the ghost fish and the harpy were mixed together to form a cry that was even more impressive than their ordinary cry - their bones and hedrons could record this sound in a wonderful way. It's a lot of trouble, the ghost calls the fish has no intelligence, and it took me a lot of effort to make it feel like it's a scary thing to die, and the harpy is much easier to do, just smash their eggs one by one, and then kill them. Mandrakes are relatively light-hearted, with an intellect that understands what fear is, and a desire to survive - the process of mashing them is itself destroying one's own ears, and the sound is so ugly that it makes people feel palpitations, as if they were really grinding a child. ”

Lulunaka walked slowly, uttering words that were horrifying and frightening to those who heard them. Let the monsters scream, just to save their last dying and desperate sound...... What a terrible means.

Monsters are not creatures to be sympathized with, with ghostly fish devouring unlucky fishermen's boats, and harpies often attacking passing travelers. The more they die, the safer civilians and travelers will be.

But that doesn't mean Lulunaka will make a good impression on others. She spoke creepy things casually, and seemed quite comfortable with how to make the beast's death painful. Not everyone can use Warcraft to vent their anger, and those who can deal with Warcraft will not have the leisure to torture them, at most, they will let the poor civilians use the corpse of Warcraft to vent their anger and calm the grief of losing relatives and friends - before that, they have to take out valuable parts and crystals.

This girl is different, she seems to have done incredible things in order to get quality materials. Not only is she anomalous, but she is also cruel.

"These materials are not very good for the ear, and I think you have tested them yourself. Lulunaka laughed, "And the dew on the flowers that bloom in the cemetery, this is not a very rare thing, but this water droplet has the ghost of the undead, and it is also the ghost of the soldiers of the Double Eagle Empire who have been dead for a hundred years - this resentment is a terrible thing, it can make the sound more charming." It's a pity, it's been a hundred years, and the resentment of those soldiers who died because of civil strife has almost dissipated. ”

Lulunaka finally walked up to Pattin. Padin was half-kneeling, and Leo was on his knees, his hands on the ground. It's as if the two of them are meeting their esteemed master, and their master is Lulunaka.

"None of this is something to be proud of. What makes me happy and proud is the glass beads that wrap around the screams of surprise. Lulunaka stood two paces away from Pattin, looking down at the knight with his eyes closed. "That's the perfect embodiment of alchemy. Throw the crystals of the ghost fish into the alchemy kettle and boil them, boil the crystals with the flame of the upper spirit, remove the impurities, pour the semi-solidified crystals into a bead-shaped mold, and pour the powder into the powder with a clear and fresh scream...... A bomb is ready. Why use the crystals of the ghost fish to make beads? because this keeps the scream within the range of the bomb and avoids unnecessary damage, and the scream is enclosed in a small area, and the impact will be stronger. You can't play with fire in the forest, but if you play with sound, it's a good choice. ”

By this time Olga had stood up and helped Julius and Romeona to their feet. He didn't want to hear Lulunaka's rhetoric, her treatment of living beings was even more disgusting than that of witches. "Oh my God...... You use the souls of the dead in the forest as firewood?" Olga's expression became a little sinister as he looked at Lulunaka, who considered himself not a good person, and had killed innocent people on impulse when he was younger...... But Lulunaka's approach still makes him extremely uncomfortable - it is a blasphemy against the dead.

"It's just some soul dregs, and besides, I didn't say it's a human soul. Lulunaka said to Olga, "Do you think of something not so good? ”

Olga snorted and didn't answer.

Lulunaka turned her head and continued to look at Pattin. "Mr. Edgar, you are the closest person to this bomb, how do you feel now? Is it the howl of a ghost and a fish, or the scream of a harpy, or the scream of a soldier? Or is it all three?"

Pattin's eyes were closed, her eyelashes and ears twitching slightly. It took a long time for Lulunaka to ask, "I've never seen such a strange bomb...... Maybe the mage will have something more curiosity, but this one ...... Unheard-of. ”

"Of course. Lulunaka clapped her hands proudly, with a smile on her face, "This is my newly developed product, pure natural and pollution-free, as long as there are materials, then it can be made, there is no need to carve a stone tablet like those astrologers to choose a good day and auspicious day, and it is not like those enchanted items that are difficult to get started to have various restrictions and conditions of use...... As long as you can endure those screams, coupled with skillful skills, you can make a quality bomb. Ordinary people can also use it easily, without any foundation, just throw it out. ”

You also have to be able to get these materials. Whether it's a ghost calling a fish or a harpy, it's something that ordinary people can't get at all. Even the softer mandrakes and graveyard dewdrops may cause indelible damage to ordinary people—the cries of the roots of mandrakes can burst eardrums, and the cold of the dewdrops with hoarfrost on the graveyard can seep into the internal organs and bones.

Speaking of which, Lulunaka thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, this bomb hasn't been named yet. What do you think is the right name? A good product can't do without a good name, otherwise it won't sell. ”

There was no one to answer her question.

Lulunaka looked distressed, as if the issue was very important to her. "It's boring that no one talks to me...... It's okay to scream the screaming lady. ”

She haphazardly gave her elaborate bomb a strange name.

With a happy expression, Lulunaka begins to circle around Paddy and Leo. "Mr. Edgar, I know you still have the strength to wield the last sword, and I think it's better for you to give up. With your cautious nature, this sword is certainly not coming at me, for you don't know what else will be on me, what if I have screaming ladies on me, what if I have several screaming ladies on me? And Ward is near me. Is your sword fast, or Ward's sword fast? ”

Ward was still on the roof of the carriage, curled up in a circle, looking like he was tired and sleeping.

"Actually, you don't need to think about it so much, your choice is just that. Lulunaka played with her cane, then pointed it at Romeona. The body of Romeona, who was pointed at by her, was shocked, and then she was protected by Olga, "Miss Romeona is still the most important target, even if there is a sacrifice, including yourself, you can make sacrifices...... That's what you think, don't you?"

Patin was silent. Leo behind him barely came to his senses, holding his sword in both hands, and when he tried to stand up, he fell to the ground again and continued to kneel in front of Lulunaka.

"This Mr. Knight has a lot of potential, doesn't he?" Lulunaka laughed, "I'm about to touch the edge of the Silver Rank, but this position doesn't make him any better." ”

Leo couldn't respond, only lowered his head, nosebleeds dripping on the ground.

Patin spoke, "You said a lot, and even explained how you destroyed it all...... Why? Because you're already on the fence, do you have this margin?"

"Isn't it too much to say that I destroyed it all?" Lulunaka chuckled, "Aren't you the ones who ruined it all in the first place? so many people died and so much blood was shed...... And you're saying that I destroyed it all?" Lulunaka tapped herself on the head with her cane, "Of course you think so, because I did ruin it all—ruined your shameful murder, and only one of the twelve loyal and trustworthy knights with their mouths died...... In the end, who will be responsible?"

"Me. "So many people have died, and I can't even touch Miss Romeona's hand." I didn't finish my task, my job ...... I was remiss in my duty. ”

Patin thought that if he had known this, he should have taken advantage of Olga's unpreparedness and stabbed Romeona to death with a sword. But what has already happened, there is no such thing as if, time will not be turned back, and there is a reason why people cannot be resurrected after death.

"It's about why I've said so much. Lulunaka continued, "I feel compelled to let you know that alchemy is a rigorous, sophisticated, and delicate craft. It wasn't a witch's crude and poisonous potion, nor was it a mage's item that would be difficult to work without magic. It's a wonderful technique, and with ideas and materials, you can make all sorts of strange things – useful tools and decorations. ”

Lulunaka said this, leaning down and bowing her head in a thoughtful manner, "I'll say it again." I'm Lulunaka, an alchemist. ”
