Dark, damp.

Droplets of water hit the glass windows, turning into a slanted line of water.

There are more and more waterlines, accompanied by a "crackling" sound, followed by a "bang-la-la-la".

The sound is getting louder and denser.

It's raining.

Heywood looked up from his desk and stared out the window at the gloomy sky and the strings of black raindrops beneath it.

The absorbent pen hanging in his hand was stained with ink, and at this time, due to gravity, it was rapidly condensing into a cloud of ink droplets, which were about to fall on the turmeric parchment.

"It's raining again. This year's rain has been a lot. ”

The ink finally couldn't stand it anymore and dripped from the tip of the pen.

"Huh!"

A long, slender black tongue suddenly stretched out, swept away the drop of ink, and retracted into a pitch-black face with no visible features at all.

"You're in a daze again."

The black shadow sat on the parchment she had just protected, not caring if the parchment would be crumpled by her.

"If there is more rain, what does it have to do with us? That's something that only the High Wizards of the Wall of Sighs need to think about. ”

When her sister Heidi blocked the parchment from writing, Heywood simply threw the absorbent pen back into the pen holder.

He leaned back and said helplessly, "Yes, no matter how much rain there is, it can't be solved by our two wizard apprentices. ”

It's been a few years since Heywood arrived at the Wall of Sighs, but Heywood still hasn't broken the line between apprentices and full-fledged wizards.

The only thing that has changed in him over the years is that his sister Heidi has been separated from him and transformed into a black silhouette in imitation of Lady Ula's former appearance.

Although she is still not exactly normal, Heidi has a short free time to move independently.

As long as she returns to her brother Heywood every once in a while to replenish the consumed mental power.

The two of them have come to terms with the fact that they cannot become official wizards, and they have been sheltered by Gorsa's mentor for a long time in this dangerous sea.

But Heywood has been restless lately.

I don't know why, since Gorsa came back from outside last year, he always felt that his peaceful days were coming to an end.

A month ago, Gorsa took a leave of absence from Wizard Murphy, the owner of the Wall of Sighs, and retreated to the lowest level of the wizard's tower to conduct experiments, even the latest Kuroshio Tide did not come out to fight.

Heywood knew that this time Mentor Gorsa was about to accomplish what he had served for years.

This time, no one else knew about the course of the experiment. Even Heywood, who had been following Gorsa, didn't know.

But what he knew was that Gorsa would no longer let anyone else get in the way of his experiments.

This time, Gorsa didn't ask a third person to help the whole time.

"Maybe this time, Lady Yola can really be resurrected." Heywood paused, looking at her black silhouette-like sister beside her, "Heidi, do you want to be resurrected?" ”

The black shadow without facial features let out bursts of sneers, which was enough to scare a few timid humans to death in the world of ordinary people.

"Hehehehe I'm fine now, why should I be resurrected? If I am a miserable person for the resurrection, then I would rather be a bitter spirit happily. ”

Heywood was stunned because he didn't have the power to resurrect Heidi. So he had never asked that question before.

And today, he was inexplicably moved, but he didn't expect Heidi to be this concept.

Even Heidi could see how painful Lady Eula was in constant resurrection experiments, and how could Mentor Gorsa not see it?

So, did Gurus Gorsa really choose to resurrect her because she loved her wife?

"Uhhhh!!!h

A painful, shrill cry came from underground.

Heywood and Heidi looked at each other, their whole bodies trembling slightly, and the fear accompanied by the scream just now, little by little, drilled into their veins.

Both men bowed their heads at the same time, as usual, pretending that they hadn't heard anything.

However, the screams, which usually lasted for a few minutes, rang out only once today.

Outside the Wall of Sighs, at the base of the Seventh Wizard's Tower.

Gorsa shook the test tube in his hand, then took the long dropper and dropped a drop of liquid from it on the forehead of the female body on the test table.

The colorless and transparent liquid instantly submerged under the white skin.

"Uhhhh!!!h

The woman struggled violently, but she couldn't even move her little finger while lying on the witchcraft circle.

Gorsa tilted her head and looked at the woman carefully, unwilling to miss the slightest change in her.

Strangely, today the female test subject only screamed, and then fell silent, and the whole person looked at the ceiling in a daze.

And this change also caught Gorsa's attention.

"Is it finally starting to merge?" A smile appeared on his face, he leaned over and lowered his head, his slender hands clasped the woman's pale cheeks, "Don't sleep, you have to be completely integrated to be considered a real resurrection." ”

The woman's eyes trembled and moved, and her purple lips made a faint breath sound.

"Resurrection?"

"Yes, the experiment has gone well so far. You'll be resurrected this time. Gorsa got up and went to check the woman's back.

On the skin of the fair, bare back, there is a brown branch that grows like a seedling breaking through the ground.

The shoots follow the hole in the bench and burrow into the square box below.

There is a gelatinous medium in the box. Black and red are mixed, exuding a melon and fruit fragrance.

If you look closely, you will see that the gum is trembling slightly at the rhythm of the heartbeat.

With each tremor, nourishment will be delivered into the woman's body along the branches, making it radiate vitality like a real living body.

Confirming that the medium was in good condition and that the energy was sufficient, Gorsa looked at the woman again and whispered encouragement.

"Yora, I know you're in pain right now, but success is within reach. As long as the fusion is complete, you are free. ”

"Freedom?"

This long-lost word gave the woman strength, and she stared at Gorsa with her eyes wide and fixed.

One second, two seconds...... One minute, two minutes......

The wind and rain outside the tower did not affect the two people in the basement in the slightest.

Finally!

A familiar fluctuation of spiritual power came from the woman.

Gorsa immediately stepped forward, pressed one hand on the woman's eyebrows, closed her eyes and felt the other person's condensed soul.

"Yes, yes, that's it. The body born through the combination of the Black Sea Tree Source and the Red Sea Tree Source is extremely inclusive, and there is almost no backlash against the soul entry. Plus it...... Quite a powerful, extremely domineering binder, your soul has completely merged with this sorcery creation. ”

He straightened up, his face full of sigh and relief.

"To put it simply, congratulations, you're alive."

The woman, or Yora, who had finally been resurrected, felt the power of her new body.

When her soul broke through the last obstacle and completely fused with the artificial body, the feeling of powerlessness just now was gone.

Instead, it is as if you have woken up full of energy after a good night's sleep.

With a little force, Yula sat up.

The branches behind him were elongated, but they did not break. The medium underneath was still trembling slightly, like her extracorporeal heart.

Although there was still a slight pain in various parts of her body, it could no longer affect Yula's joy.

Once, for the sake of witchcraft research, Yura easily gave up her life.

Later, when she suffered for her resurrection, she realized the preciousness of life.

Yura's eyes were hot and she felt liquid running down the corners of her eyes.

"Even, even tears?"

Yula wiped her fingertips from the corners of her eyes, then looked at the clear liquid on it, and for a moment shed more tears.

"I'm really alive."

Gorsa clasped his hands to his chest and smiled, "Okay, don't keep crying, or the culture fluid will come out of your eyes." ”

Yula was stunned for a moment, her movements frozen.

"After all, this body is not a real human body, and it is normal for some special reactions to occur. You can change your race when you are yourself. But you're still Yora. ”

Yula hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and for some reason her heart was empty.

This is obviously already a good ending.

Then she heard Gorsa's voice again.

Gentle, slow, firm.

"Now, you're free to leave."

She lifted her eyes, and there was confusion in them.

"What? Leave what? ”

Opposite, her lover during her lifetime, her enemy after her death repeats softly.

"Leave my Wizard's Tower, after all...... The experiment is over, isn't it? ”
