Once in town, Benjamin hired some wagons and spent several days finally transporting all the harvest of his trip back to the college.

"This ...... What is this?"

In a secret laboratory, Maurice, the old man of the Potions Department, and several backbones of the Rune Research Group...... The researchers from all over the academy that Benjamin felt he could trust were all summoned here.

They looked at the boxes of wreckage piled up one by one, and they couldn't help but look surprised. The old man picked up a calf bone, picked it up in his hand, and asked the question just now, frowning.

Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"You may be very surprised by what I am going to tell you next. He said slowly, "Be mentally prepared first, this is definitely news that you have never heard of." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. may be thinking of Benjamin's usual unconventional style, and some people pinch a cold sweat in their hearts.

"Just say something, don't be verbose. The old man said impatiently.

Seeing this, Benjamin nodded. Then he spoke, from the secrets of the Scaiver Mountains, to the ghosts at the bottom of the abyss, to the world of the dead on the other side of the abyss...... He told everyone present in great detail what he had seen and heard along the way.

It was only when he retold it that he realized how bizarre his experience was.

The devil knows what's going on...... When he first set off, he thought he was going to participate in the rebellious plan of the Fur family!

On the other side, with Benjamin's narration, the expressions of everyone present gradually changed from confusion to astonishment. In the end, everyone's eyes widened, and that look of disbelief appeared on their faces, and they couldn't even speak for a while.

“...... After that, I returned to the academy with the remains of the undead. Benjamin ended his journey with these words, took a few steps back, and said, "And what you see before you is the corpse I have picked up." ”

Everyone took a deep breath in unison, and the eyes that looked at the wreckage became more and more solemn.

The abyss that divides the continent in two...... World of the Dead......

This is no small problem.

Some of them had already rushed forward to examine the fragmented remains with their professional research attitude. The old man even picked up the boiler equipment that came with the laboratory, picked up some wreckage and threw it into the alchemy furnace, which was filled with special potions and carefully boiled.

"That'...... What about the ghost?" Morris asked the question, thinking for a moment.

"Here it is. Benjamin put the parasitic bird on the table and said, "Don't underestimate it, now it's only weakened by circumstances." Once it regains its power, it creates enough illusions for all of us to indulge in and eat us all. ”

In fact, the ghost inside the bird has recovered a lot in these days. A large number of dark elements gathered inside the bird's body, making it a creature similar to a monster, but fortunately, it still did not appear to have any mutations.

Like the problem Benjamin thought about at the beginning, the ghost will control the bird's body after it recovers, and all kinds of chaos or something. This kind of thing didn't really happen.

The bird remained in a coma, and the ghost remained in its body, sucking the life force out of its body at a slow rate. Therefore, Benjamin did not change it with a parasite, but also wanted to see what would become of the bird if it continued to develop.

But...... This is indeed the most dangerous of all Benjamin's harvests, and it must be handled with great care.

"Didn't you say that its illusion is achieved through sound. "This is a gadget I made a long time ago, called the Silent Stake." As long as it is nailed to the ground, there will be no sound coming from the area it encloses. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows: "You want to release it?"

"If it is not released, it will stay in the body of such a small bird, and we will not be able to study it. Morris nodded and said.

"But it's not just about isolating sound. Benjamin said, "Its body is an illusory mental power that can travel between various objects at will, and we must make a cage that can really trap it before we can consider releasing it." ”

Not to mention creating an environment suitable for ghosts to live in.

At least for now, Benjamin hadn't thought about releasing the ghost.

"Trapping a spirit...... Think about it. Morris thought for a moment and said, "Actually, before, the church had some research on magic props that isolated mental power. I learned some of it, so I could try to make some samples out there. ”

"Then you can give it a try. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Also, how do you block out the light element and gather the dark element at the same time...... If we can't create such an environment, the ghosts won't be able to survive. ”

"It's simple. Morris said, "The church has done similar experiments before, but in reverse. I'll be able to get it out today. ”

“...... All right. ”

Benjamin scratched his head, feeling that the church had really done everything.

However, he suddenly remembered that he had met a few priests who could evade the induction and disguise themselves as ordinary people. That kind of means should be to isolate the spiritual power to a certain extent, so people can't find it, right?

Only, when it comes to the church......

Morris turned away and walked out of the lab, ready to go back and get the stuff out of what he had just said. Benjamin walked out with him, stopped him, and took a leaf out of his pocket.

"You've been in church for so long, do you know...... What's the deal with this secret door that the key can open?" he said, lowering his voice in a voice that only the other could hear.

Morris frowned: "This is ......"

He looked at the verdant ginkgo leaves in Benjamin's hand, wondered for a moment, and was suddenly stunned.

"The Church is a very precious key. Benjamin said slowly, "It was because of it that the Church sent unimaginable men to hunt me down, and I had to borrow the road from the Scaiver Mountains and finally discovered the world of the dead." ”

"This thing...... I've just heard some rumors. Morris took a deep breath and said, "Undercover mages like us who have been cultivated will not be trusted by the church in the first place, and it will be difficult for them to obtain such a core-level secret. But...... By chance, I overheard a conversation between a bishop and a paladin about keys and the divine realm. ”

Benjamin immediately asked, "What did they say?"

"They say that the power of successive popes will increase dramatically after they ascend to the throne, and a large part of it will come from the inheritance of the divine realm. Morris looked solemn and said, "And the key is the lifeblood of the church's heritage." ”
