Chapter 188: Ultramarine
Lizzie is on fire.
Although Curt didn't know what she was angry about, there was no doubt that there was a flash of "anger" in those lifeless eyes that had not appeared for a long time. It's been a long time since I've seen her show her feelings so explicitly, compared to it, playing petty from time to time is simply a pediatric Cheng dù.
Soon after seeing Curt, she dispersed the dangerous spell in her hand, and the air around her surging became stable in that instant, and even the room temperature dropped by several degrees. The irascible magic slowly became stable, which showed that her mood was gradually calming down.
"So, why?"
So Curt asks Lizzie what happened to him that made her so angry. Ticking the clock a bit, she was thundering in this lab at the same time as Curt and the Wizards were confronting the Chimera Soldiers in the hallway she had walked.
Curt didn't forget it, she also divided some spirit to judge those "soldiers", and by the way, she also told Curt that those enemies were just some half-finished products. At that time, she had already invaded here, and she also knew the information about the Chimera soldiers here.
"That's a good question. ”
A mocking smile appeared on Lizzie's face, not knowing whether she was satirizing the souls of the dead who had died at her hands or laughing at her out-of-control self: "But good questions often mean a whole bunch of explanations - Curt, guess what the people in this lab are working on?"
Guess what this facility is working on...... Curt glanced at Lizzie quizzically—a somewhat abrupt question, but it was undoubtedly the one who angered Lizzie. Probably because of the disgust of the same race. It is difficult for mages to understand each other, especially if one party's research touches the other's bottom line.
The purpose of those who built the underpass of the college was definitely not just to build an unknown place in the place where it was to be compared. A floor plan posted on the wall not far away apparently tells Sù Curt that he had visited less than a tenth of the labyrinth.
He silently glanced around. This laboratory-like underground facility, which connects to the ground level of the academy through a complex passageway, is believed to have been in use until recently. There was even a reagent that had just been prepared in the instrument on the table.
If you just look at what is placed here, it is difficult for Curt to think of the research project here. However, if it is a study that can make Lizzie kill researchers for its sake, then the answers to choose from become scarce. Ten is still related to the old man's research.
"I guess it must have something to do with that old man, right?" Curt looked at Lizzie calmly, and the girl opposite just fell silent, "What he studied was 'artificial lifeforms'. I've seen so much of the product that his research has now shifted to either 'soul' or 'spirit'. ”
- Right?
It's a question, but Curt is almost sure of the answer. Living with Lizzie for so long. He also knows a little bit about this girl's likes and dislikes. She hardly cared about any research done by her peers, even if the other party's actions were desecrating life.
But she could not tolerate contempt for soul and spirit, perhaps because it was a subject to which she devoted a great deal of energy to her research. Just as a warrior boasts of his victories and victories in battle, a mage has a pride of his own. It is because of the importance of one's own research. So it's even more intolerable to see it as an inconsequential thing and dismiss it.
When glory is despised. When Pride is Offended...... Sometimes the other person is greeted not necessarily with anger, but more often with relentless retaliation.
"Bingo. ”
Guessed correctly - the corners of Liqi's mouth crooked, and her smile was like a crescent moon hanging in the sky: "Well, it's you, even if you just look at these things, you can guess the reason." So it's easy to say, do you remember those shoddy semi-finished products? Those things are the products of the 'artificial life' that have not yet been fully successful. If we give the stinky old man some more time, he will probably be able to scrape together a 'finished product'. ”
As if to make it easier to explain, Lizzie sent a large number of fragments of memories directly into Curt's head. Efficient means of storytelling. It's just that as the recipient's side, Curt suffered the expected shock. The strange tinnitus made him feel as if his head was about to crack.
These "fragments" are not Liki's memories, but he has not bothered to investigate how Liqi got his hands on them, and the constantly flashing fragments of thought make Curt have no time to care. Yan's rejection made him have to desperately control his own "thinking" so as not to confuse the two.
Thinking and memory are both important parts of the soul, and the process of accumulation of the two is the process of constructing the "self" part of the soul as a living being. Dabbling in the memories that belong to others is bound to have an indelible effect on one's own soul.
Without Lizzie's deterioration, Curt would not be willing to touch other people's souls, let alone forcibly convert other people's memories into his own knowledge. But he must admit that it was an excellent means of obtaining information, and that it could make it easier to convey information that would have to be conveyed in a lot of words.
On the other side of the soul connection, Lizzie controlled the transmission of information, and the vision that appeared in Curt's mind was undoubtedly the process of producing those chimeras. The owner of the field of vision is constantly dissecting the living creatures that are used as materials in this underground research laboratory, and then sewing together the parts that can be used.
The first step is to build a body, and even if it is a mass-produced product, it must have a quality that can compete with ordinary people. The second step is to inject magic, living beings need energy to maintain the movement of the body, and synthetic chimeras naturally need similar substitutes to ensure sufficient mobility.
The most important step is to give the creature a "soul".
They are not stunned flesh and blood puppets, but artificial lifeforms that are countless times better. But there is no way to synthesize "souls" in this world, and instead of being put into the bodies of those chimeras, there are glittering lapis lazuli - in each ultramarine gem, there is a trace of imprisoned bleak souls screaming helplessly.
I see, what is the strange feeling - if you can't produce it with your own hands, you can get it in another way. A soul is a soul after all, whether it is a beast or a human or something else, there will be a soul in the body, and the old man obviously chose to use the means of "finished product".
But this is not right, this is not creating artificial lifeforms, I don't know if the old man himself has noticed, he has already taken a different path in the process of research. The creatures produced by his hands, or chimeras, have an even more disgusting name.
Soul Bound Corpse, a corpse weapon that uses magic to bind the soul to a modified corpse, and then uses magic to drive it to continue the battle. In the last war, this kind of monster made of spells was widely active on the battlefield, and on several occasions it became a key point in turning the tide.
But the organization that used these monsters as weapons has been completely defeated, and the methods used to produce them have long since been burned, and these things should have been buried in the darkness of history long ago. But now, they have suddenly appeared in the Dominion of Osattaria, far from the battlefield.
Why the soulbound corpses appear here is secondary, the most important thing is - Lizzie has a deep dislike for these weapons, not only for how they are produced and how they work, but even for the mere appearance of them in front of her eyes, which will cause her to be devastated.
So when I saw what they were doing, I got angry. If you want to ask how angry he was, it was probably Cheng Dù when he saw a certain noisy crow being shot to death. She put her hand on the side of her head in the shape of a mechanic's gun, and then pretended to pull the trigger on herself, "And you should know exactly who this kind of 'soul' side door technique comes from, right?"
Naturally, the ultramarines are the valve.
Use spells without any scruples, use your skills to grab money by various means, and then invest the money in the cause of spell research, so that you can snowball bigger and bigger. Whether it's imprisoning souls with lapis lazuli and embedding them in puppets, or using the remains and souls of the dead to create horrific attacks on enemies, these "sideways" have all been demonstrated in the last war.
This group had already been defeated in the last war, and with the remnants of the manpower, they could no longer organize the same forces as before. After a series of previous investigations, Curt had already ruled the group out of the incident...... In other words, he wanted to be able to eliminate their suspicion as much as possible.
It's a pity that reality has pushed a qiē to the front of the stage - lapis lazuli that is used a lot to bind souls, and soul-binding corpses that have no other branches. Standing across from them was not only the "True Eye", but also the Ultramarine Sect who he thought had become settled.
There are many things in life, most of which don't go the way he wants them to - Curt thinks it's a little funny, he thinks he can break with his past life by hiding overseas, but the damn "facts" are always unwilling to let him and Lizzie go.
"If it's a joke, it's a little uncomfortable. ”
Unfortunately, this is not a joke, Curt smiled wryly and glanced at Lizzie. The "True Eye" alone was troublesome enough, and now it was necessary to add an even more tricky name to the list, and both of them had a look of inability to smile on their faces.
But now that this is the case, what can Curt and Lizzie do? If those guys want war, then they can only give them war. (To be continued!)
