Chapter 119: The Cause of the Resentful Spirit
A sword stabbed him, and the boss, who was still struggling just now, suddenly stopped moving. Then, with a terrible and desperate scream, it turned into a puff of black gas. But it was not able to reunite, but it dispersed, leaving only a cloud of dust to fall.
As the black gas dissipated, countless monsters around them also fell one after another, turning into dust.
Only then did the panda stand up, laugh twice, and say, "It's finally solved!"
"yes!" Naikhart sighed, "To be honest, this boss is not very strong, but it is really difficult to deal with!"
"The main thing is that we don't have the means to effectively restrain it. If you hadn't managed to provoke it, I'm afraid it would have dragged on for a long time. Raisa said.
Reas pushed his round glasses: "Summing up the experience or something, I'll talk about it later." Don't you think there's another big thing to do?"
"What's the matter?"
"Look what the boss drops!"
Crainn cheered, ran out of an afterimage, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the panda's side, staring at the dust left after the death of the puppet girl Ilu: "Let me see, what exploded!
The panda shook his head helplessly, not competing with him for this opportunity to "open the treasure chest".
Probably because of the white color of the coat, similar to the European species, Correen really turned out a lot of good things from the pile of ashes. A few copies of "Magic Metal", a number of "Metal Pieces of Wraith", three copies of "Tears of Sighing", a pair of "Sharp Knives of Resentment", and two "Magic Cogears...... The most valuable thing is a "Wraith Doll Making Handbook", which describes how to make a "Wraith Doll".
The panda flipped through the manual, shook his head, and said, "This thing is really not ordinary evil! first find a child with excellent spiritual qualifications, then brutally torture him to death, seal the soul for a period of time, feed it with human blood to make it stronger, and finally put its remains into a magic puppet...... In other words, isn't the person who engages in this thing afraid that the evil spirits will kill him in turn?"
"Maybe he has some way to restrain the spirits. Reas said, "Look at it, did it say anything later?"
Panda opened the manual again, looked at it carefully, shook his head, and handed it to him: "Anyway, I didn't find it, you can look for it yourself." ”
Reas also searched for a while, and wondered: "It's strange! There is no way to restrain it, what is the difference between creating a resentful spirit and looking for death? What does this person think?"
"God knows! people in this world are a little bit out of their minds. Panda sighed, "Just like a sorcerer, the higher the level, the more likely it is to have problems in the brain." ”
Next, they carefully examined the mines and mining areas, and found bits and pieces of loot - not ore, of course, although they did find a lot of ore, but ore obviously could not be used as trophies.
The bulk of the loot is some "natural metal", that is, naturally occurring copper and iron. This kind of thing is rare in reality, but there are still some in the wizarding world. They are no better than artificially refined metals, but they have a special use in fields like magic - ordinary metals block out magic, but they are in a much better condition. If it is specially processed, it can be used to make magic golems, which can partially replace precious materials such as Mithril and greatly reduce costs.
The discovery of these trophies allowed the pandas to roughly speculate about the cause of the tragedy.
A sorcerer came to the mine, and when he discovered that the mine produced natural metals, he set out to make a magic golem. But for some reason, instead of choosing to create an ordinary magic golem, he created a dangerous wraith golem.
In order to create this wraith puppet, he killed the talented girl Iru and tortured her into a wraith. But he doesn't have the means to control the Wraith Doll, or his means of control are ineffective. So when the Wraith Doll was completed, Iru launched a frenzied revenge, and the entire mine was in a bloody storm, except for a few lucky ones who escaped, everyone else died at her hands, and the Warlock was no exception.
Why were they sure that the Warlock himself was dead? Because they found this guy's lab.
The laboratory built underground is a mess, with visible signs of destruction. The bones of an adult man were scattered throughout the laboratory, apparently dismembered before his death. Through the verification of the spell, this skeleton has a strong evil residue, and it must have been a fierce person in his lifetime - who else could it be besides the sorcerer himself?
Pandas: They carefully inspected the lab and found the remnants of the Sorcerer's Day inside.
The journal had apparently been destroyed by Iru as well, and only a few fragments remained. Through the bits and pieces of text on these fragments, everyone verified their conjectures.
Although the diary does not contain the details of the process of making a wraith doll, words such as "I succeeded", "What a perfect masterpiece", and "It must be useful" can be called confessions. There were also some fragments of natural metal in the laboratory, and the resentment on these fragments was the same as the fragments left behind by Iru's death, but the concentration was much lower.
"This guy is really hurting others!" Raisa frowned, looking at the skeleton that they had roughly put together, "He should have been burned to death!"
"He also ended badly. Panda sighed, "When he was alive, he was torn apart by Ilu, and after he died, his soul was tortured...... It may even have been devoured and digested by Iro. He had committed a serious sin, and he had been punished enough for it, and there was no need to worry about him anymore. ”
"If he had met me while he was alive, I would have killed him with an arrow!" said Naikhart, indignantly, "for the sake of a crazy experiment, so many people have been killed!"
"Of course, isn't it a matter of course to kill a sorcerer when he encounters it?" Panda asked with a smile.
Everyone thought about it and laughed.
That's right, for the traversers, if they encounter an evil sorcerer, who cares if he is engaged in an evil experiment or not?
Anyway, except for these freaks who can rely on experience points to improve their level and skills, other evil warlocks in this world have grown up by harming talents, and the low-level ones may be able to save it, and the level must be full of blood debts, one kills the other, and there are no unjust, false and wrongful convictions!
After packing up all the loot, the other teams finally got good news.
The western and northern lines have converged, and under their joint attack, the "tree man Udier" of the ancient forest has also been eliminated, and the four bosses in the southeast and northwest of Raccoon Town have all been ambushed here!
