Chapter 37: The Depths of Death

Under the yellowish light of the kerosene lamp, Lumian looked through the notes that Bourman had written because of his unstable mental state and frequent trance-like memories: "After all people die, the spirit will return to the spirit world, except in special circumstances!"

"If I can design a summoning spell that is accurate enough, then I can rely on the ability of the 'Necromantic Master' to summon Helen's spirit to reality."

"This is the first step in resurrecting her."

Seeing this, Lumian shook his head imperceptibly.

If only the resurrection had been that simple......

He flipped to the next page:

Newly Acquired Occult Knowledge:

In ancient times, wise beings died and entered the underworld, among which those who were particularly religious in their beliefs or who had made outstanding contributions could return to the heavenly kingdom of the corresponding gods, but in the Fifth Age, a large number of undead wandered outside the underworld.

I'm not sure if Helen's spirit went into the underworld or simply returned to the spirit world, and the two situations should be treated separately when summoned, and they should not be mixed together, otherwise they will fail.

"Although the sea monster is very powerful, it does not have the ability to imprison souls, and there is no similar phenomenon in that sea area, so there is no need to consider special circumstances for the time being, and Helen is not a devout believer in the 'Eternal Sun'."

"I see Helen again."

"But she's completely forgotten about me."

"Her looks, her body is blurring little by little, and in a few years, she will become like any other undead."

"I won't have more than five years left."

"What can I do to awaken her consciousness and retrieve her memories, it doesn't seem like enough to just give her a body that can carry the undead."

"Don't forget the moonlight and waves of the lighthouse outside the city, which bear witness to my proposal and Helen's nod."

"Don't forget the Gasparo paella, that was Helen's favorite food, and every time we returned to Port Fallin from our adventure, she would propose to eat it."

"Don't forget the sunset over the Andatna volcano, where we met and promised each other to see it more often in the future, even if we have become old men and old women, we can't forget that romantic ......"

"Don't forget...... Don't forget...... Don't forget ......"

"My head hurts."

......

"I ruined a town and let two or three hundred people die."

"I didn't feel happy to see those couples, those parents, those children die."

"My heart is like sinking in darkness."

"I know it's my sin, I know it's a mistake that can never be remedied, and I know that I'm no longer the Bourman you like."

"But I don't regret it."

"Liar, damn it!"

"Killing these crooks made me feel a joy that I hadn't seen in a long time."

"Helen, if you're still alive, we should have children of our own by now, right?"

"Why do those evil wizards always like to use babies, small children and their corpses to invent witchcraft as key material?

"I'm more evil than they ......"

.....

"Helen, I can't find my way, all attempts have failed."

.....

"Helen, I'd like to collect potion recipes and materials for Sequence 5 of the 'Reaper' pathway."

"Helen, Fidel stopped me, saying that it would turn me into a monster and no longer have my original memories.

"Helen, I don't want to forget you."

"Helen, please forgive me for my cowardice."

"Helen, I actually met that Easter Islander!"

"There really is such an island!

"Harrison beat me, but he didn't kill me, and he asked me why I was forced to go to the 'Grim Reaper' path."

"He told me that my previous attempts were wrong, and that the real resurrection was not that simple."

"He said that in the depths of death, there is the mark of each person, and only by bringing the corresponding mark to reality and reconstructing the spirit and flesh on the basis of it can the true resurrection, the resurrection of the original cognition and complete memory."

"Helen, I am so glad that I see the hope of resurrecting you again."

......

"Harrison taught me some knowledge in the realm of the 'Grim Reaper', and it was with this knowledge that he and his people mastered and took back their own imprint, so that they could die again and again, never die, never grow old."

"They rarely leave Easter Island, but not absolutely, in the years before, there were also islanders who liked to travel as much as Harrison to different countries, leaving the legend of Easter Island in the memory of a few people, and people with ulterior motives sorted out the charts to go to Easter Island."

"The treasure map that Mark sold us is fake, but part of it comes from the real map, and Harrison left Easter Island this time in order to destroy the real map and kill everyone who knows how to get to that area and how to find Easter Island."

"Helen, based on the knowledge provided by Harrison, I tried to summon a spirit from the depths of death, and I succeeded, I summoned an evil spirit called 'Arden', it was very weak, I easily destroyed it, collected its blood, and prepared it for the subsequent ritual."

"Helen, I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions."

"Since meeting Harrison and gaining the knowledge that can truly resurrect you, I have become more and more impatient, impatient, and unable to control my emotions."

"Those archipelags are all liars, damn it, I killed a liar, and there are many liars, I don't want to waste any more time, I started that ritual in advance."

"Helen, I'm sorry, I've failed again, I'm not prepared enough."

......

"Helen, am I completely insane? Fidel only retorted to me, and I lost my mind and killed everyone in the room. “

"He's going to die, the guy who tried to threaten me and Fidel!"

"Helen, I've failed, it's been a long time since I've been hurt so badly."

"I already have most of my body as an undead creature, and such injuries are not fatal, but I don't have any collaborators."

"Damn, damn, damn!"

......

"Helen, I miss you again."

Lumian saw the end of this dark soft-shell notebook in one breath, stared at the sentence, and did not move for a long time.

It was as if he had been transformed into a statue.

As the minutes passed, Lumian couldn't help but raise his right hand and rub his temple.

The marks of the depths of death, Easter Island, Harrison, these contents flooded into his mind in a mess, and he suddenly regretted that he didn't ask Franca for help.

In order to make Bourman's death clean, he had no intention of communicating with the spirit of this "devil wizard" from the beginning, so there was no need to go back to Trier and bring Franka over.

But now, he instinctively wanted to know more about the resurrection method offered by Harrison, about the island where the inhabitants died and came back to life again and again.

Call...... Lumian closed his notes and exhaled, struggling to recall what he had learned about the occult of death.

If the words "death" and "mark" were put together, he had heard that the term "mark of death" had been mentioned by the "magician" lady when she asked what the figure of Tudor in the "Samaritan Woman's Spring" was!

"Is this a different concept from the remnant, the brand, and related to the resurrection?"

"From the depths of death.... What is in the depths of death......"

"What I know now, that is clearly related to death, is the underworld, the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring,' the river Styx that runs between the two worlds......"

"It's a pity, I don't know what that Harrison from Easter Island looks like......"

"The knowledge recorded by Bourman is also very messy, and it seems that he writes whatever comes to mind, not himself, and it is difficult to sort out the complete resurrection ritual and correspondence principle from it."

"No, it's not difficult, it's impossible, Bulman only recorded the ones he thought he would forget, and the rest of the knowledge was not written .........at all" Lumian rubbed his forehead again, unfolded the fake treasure map, and looked at it carefully for a while, unable to confirm which part was true and which part was fake.

He planned to send it to Franca and Janna after dawn, so that they could try to tell the difference using occult methods.

The next morning, Lumian wiped his mouth with a napkin and watched as Ludwig continued to fight those breakfasts.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Lumien motioned for Lugano to open the door.

Do you really think I'm a servant? Well, you pay, you're the boss...... Lugano sneered, left the table, and opened the door.

Outside is Philip.

Philip walked into the room and said to Lumien with a smile: "In two and a half hours, we will set sail, and if you have any special goods to buy, you have to do it as soon as possible."

"Nope." Lumian stood up and replied with a smile.

Philip looked out the window and said, "By the way, you may not know that the 'devil wizard' has been caught."

"Really?" Lugano looked surprised.

These days, the hottest topic of small talk among the passengers on board the ship is the "devil wizard" Bulman who caused them to be stranded in Farin Harbor.

Seeing that Luminian also raised his eyebrows and inquired, Philip said with a relaxed expression: "Bulman is not only captured, but also in the state of a dead body."

"Who did it?" Lumian inquired with interest.

Philip shook his head: "It's not clear, only that it's closely related to the Church of the Fools, well, the adventurer Gelman. Sparrow is said to be the messenger of God in the Church of the Fool. ”

"It can't be the adventurer himself, right?" Lugano asked excitedly.

When he got to sea, he naturally heard about the beliefs of the "fools" and had no doubts about it.

- The sailors will tell him, the passengers will tell him, and the porters at the docks will tell him the same.

"Who knows? Anyway, the one who can kill the 'devil wizard' is at least a strong person at the level of a pirate general. ”

Lip said with heartfelt emotion.

Just then, there was a commotion from the gangway, and the passengers who were scheduled to board the ship in Farin Harbor were finally allowed to board the Asuka.

Lumian went to the window and saw an acquaintance.

Batner. Comté!

He stepped onto the deck side by side with the cute-looking female adventurer.

Lumian pushed open the window and shouted, "Patna, you're going to Santa Port too?"

Butner looked up in amazement, and followed the prestige to the row of rooms on the top floor.

Recognize Louie. After Berry, he smiled and shouted, "Yes, go see the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Harbor!"
