Chapter 173: High imitation forced the original factory to death
Just do it.
Thor inflicted a fourth wound on himself, collecting a little blood and muscle tissue.
He then prepared the basic ingredients for making the candle, plus the juice of the accompanying flowers, flesh and blood, and a little bit of the cut candle to recreate a new candle in its entirety.
The candle is similar in appearance to the candlestick on the candlestick, but due to the addition of flesh, the candle has changed from white to red.
"I've diluted it as much as I can, but it's still so red. Should serum or other colorless tissue be extracted? ”
Although there was a problem with the color of the first finished product, Thor also planned to try it out first.
He fixed the candle on the table and threw a small flame into the center.
But when a small flame floated through the candle, it failed to light it.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the material of the candle that affects its flammability? Wait a minute! ”
Thor took out the lamplighter again, stood up and walked away from it, aiming the spout at the center of the candle.
"Phew!"
This time, the red candle was lit without incident, and the wick burned with a miserable white flame!
"Exactly like the flame on the candlestick?" Thor carefully compared the candlelight above his head and smiled in surprise.
"Actually succeeded once? Am I so genius? ”
After a brief moment of joy, Saul calmed himself again.
"After all, the main ingredients are substitutes, and the associated flower juice does not meet the requirements, so the actual efficacy may be much worse......"
Suddenly, Thor was excited, and goosebumps popped out all over his body as if he had his own consciousness.
He turned back in horror and saw that the shelves behind him were full of people!
It's all the corpses out there!
The guys didn't know when to move behind Thor. Some of them were crammed into the corridor between the shelves, and some of them did not squeeze into the corridor, so they could only stand behind the shelves and "watch" at Thor through the gaps between the goods.
But Thor intuitively felt that they were staring at the candle in his hand.
It's just a trance, and the corpses seem to be getting closer to themselves.
Thor immediately took the knife on the table and extinguished the candle.
As a puff of green smoke rose from the blackened candle center, the strange feeling of being on the back gradually disappeared.
Thor looked back again, keenly noticing that the corpses were getting closer to him a little more.
Though they were still expressionless and their eyes closed, Thor could sense a sense of disappointment in them.
In the past, Thor was sure that they did have some consciousness, but he had never seen them move.
Unexpectedly, it was exposed because of the red candle.
Thor looked at the candle in his palm and said to himself, "I can't have made something amazing, right?" ”
"What ????"
A female voice suddenly rang above Thor's head.
When he looked up, he saw a black shadow emanating from the roof, gradually extending from the sticky droplet shape to the shape of a woman.
In the end, the black shadow completely broke free from the roof and fell to the ground, almost ghosting Thor when he landed.
"Lady Yora?"
"Don't call me Yora, call me Winnie!" The black shadow said unhappily, but she quickly skipped the matter, sniffing left and right with the face that couldn't see clearly, "Where did the smell just go?" ”
Flavor?
Thor looked down at the red candle beside him, he didn't smell anything.
The dark shadow immediately noticed Thor's gaze shifting, and followed it, catching a red candle.
"It's ...... What did you do? ”
Winnie's dark shadow approached, and she crouched down, folded her hands on the table, allowing herself to look at the candle level.
"I feel the smell is calming." The shadow seemed to make a gesture of looking up, "Can you light it again?" ”
"Calm?"
Strangely, Thor didn't add anything to soothe the soul's emotions.
Even the flower juice that the white candle might have had to stabilize the spirit body had been diluted several times by Thor.
It stands to reason that the effect should not be as good as the original candle.
But Winnie didn't react at all to the other lit candles in the warehouse.
"Winnie, I'll light the candles and these guys will rush up."
Thor pointed to the group of corpses behind him that were still "hovering" around the shelves.
The black shadow glanced back and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, they also came here because they felt comfortable." As long as you don't break the taboo, they won't hurt you. Hurry up, hurry up ......"
Hearing Vinnie's assurance, Thor picked up the lamplighter and re-lit the red candle.
A white light lit up.
There was silence in the storeroom.
The living and the dead stared at the candlelight.
Thor didn't smell anything, and didn't feel much calm. He looked around and found that the corpses did not come any closer, but they were all facing the red candles, and their faces were less gloomy and a little more intoxicated.
"I can't let them know that raw materials are part of my blood." Thor raised his hand to press his hand to the wound hidden by his sleeve with some trepidation, "They don't react much to my wounds, but they are concerned about Red Candle. It was supposed to be some kind of witchcraft reaction that triggered the qualitative change. ”
"But why does my blood cause this effect? My left eye heals on its own, is it also related to this change in my body? ”
The changes in Thor's memory related to his whole body are the experiences of his unconscious melting after defeating the evil spirit Morton.
This incident was also told to him by Senior Byron afterwards. Otherwise, Thor himself was unaware of the melting.
Later, when Senior Byron examined him, he did not find the cause of the body's fusion and recovery, and there may have been pursuers behind the sailboat at that time, so this matter could only be put aside first.
Back at the Wizard's Tower, Thor didn't notice anything unusual in his body, but now it seems that the experience still had a big impact on him. It's just that it is not yet known whether it is good or bad, and whether there are other drawbacks.
Thor was worried about the changes in his body, but Winnie was obsessed with the red candle, and even sat on the ground, his arms on the table, his head resting on his arms.
It looks like he's about to fall asleep.
"Why can you make such a candle, but Gorsa can only make unpleasant white wax? I said he didn't understand the soul at all. ”
In the face of Winnie's complaint to the tower owner, Thor could only touch his nose when he didn't hear anything.
But Winnie continued, even introducing Gorsa's life.
"Not long after Gorsa established the Wizard Tower, the situation on the western continent was complicated, and the people who ran out of the borderlands established the Baidong Academy on the coast, backed by the sea and ignored the western treaty, and always secretly bullied the Principality of Kema, wanting to further expand the territory of their academy......"
In order to lose his land and avoid the tragic end of the country's destruction, the king of Kema at the time sent people to inquire about the background of the wizards who had newly entered the western continent, hoping to find a reliable force to form an alliance.
Who would have thought that as soon as the news was released, the newly moved wizard Tata Lord Gorsa came to the door and took the initiative to ask for an alliance.
At that time, there were many forces stationed in the western continent. Gorsa was stationed alone, but carved up a considerable part of the territory.
It is said that his family is quite powerful in another continent, so the forces that have settled in the western continent together do not dare to take the initiative to earn money with him.
"The people of the Kema Empire should have been deceived by him back then." Winnie tilted her head, a hint of indignation in her tone, "Gorsa must have been exiled by his family. For so many years, no one from other forces has gone to look for him. He himself was weak-hearted, so he sought an alliance with Kema. ”
"That's why the tower lord married Lady Yola at that time?"
“…… Not really. ”
King Kema, who has been reduced to a principality, also took the initiative to lower his stature in order to form an alliance with Gorsa, who seems to have a strong background.
In addition to providing the Wizard Tower with supplies every year, they also wanted to make the most common marriages among nobles.
However, Gorsa refused the marriage and asked the principality to send someone to help him manage the territory, as long as he paid the tribute on time every year.
Thor was a little surprised, but then he thought it was something that the tower master could do.
If Gorsa was really alone when he came to the western region, then he certainly didn't have the energy and mind to deal with the internal affairs of the territory.
But Thor didn't expect that he wouldn't even want to find an agent, and directly returned a large area of territory to the original owner to take care of.
The Principality of Kema must have been overjoyed.
Even if you only take control of a part of the territory, the proceeds from it can help restore the Principality of Kema.
"Then how did Lady Yola marry the Tower Master?" Thor is not really gossip, but Lady Eula's death is clearly related to Gorsa's true purpose.
Is it a resurrection lover or an experiment against pollution?
Only when the content and purpose of the research are clear can the flow of the experiment be properly planned.
"At that time, Yula was already a first-order official wizard, majoring in dark attribute elements, and was obsessed with soul research." Winnie's face kept facing the direction of the red candle, as if fascinated, "And Gorsa, who majored in light attributes, quarreled over a subject as soon as they met. ”
Solton pricked up his ears, "What subject?" ”
"Soul ...... Can it exist independently of the physical body? ”
