Chapter 31: Steadfast Sanders

"What the hell?" said Leo, breathlessly.

Sanders stared at Leo for a moment and asked, "How did you get to do this?

Psychedelia is a plant that is not uncommon and is the raw material for many kinds of medicines, including anesthetics and painkillers. However, Leo knows that this plant can cause strong hallucinations and pleasure when eaten without any treatment, so many people are willing to come to it, but its sequelae are also very obvious, that is, weakness, extreme weakness, and strong addiction.

Even if he didn't have to look at it, Leo knew very well that his face must be ugly and scary now. Not only his face, but he now felt unusually uncomfortable both physically and mentally, although it was not like the weakness after taking psychedelic grass, but the pain was far more than that.

It was a very strange feeling, like a person who was very sleepy, and his eyelids were abnormally heavy, but he was very mentally awake, and he was highly active, and he did not feel the slightest drowsiness. And the physical feeling is very similar to the mental one.

In fact, he didn't do any strenuous activity at all, but it was as if all his physical strength had been drained, and he even had some difficulty walking.

It started two hours ago.

At that time, Doria had just explained his practical idea to Leo.

Because demons and ghosts belong to a special advanced body, they are extremely rare, and there is no way to capture them. Therefore, in order to develop the Demon Touch, Doria must let multiple ghouls devour each other, and those who survive in the end have a high probability of becoming a demon and use it as real material.

In the process, Leo finally learns why ghouls have the perverse habit of never devouring their own kind.

According to general belief, low-level necromantic creatures have no intelligence, or possess very little intelligence. They instinctively hate positive energy. Hatred of the life that is born of the real also leads most of them to be aggressive.

The second instinct of necromantic creatures is to constantly strengthen themselves, constantly advance through the ranks, and obtain larger territories, more food, and stronger strength. This is a very common thing, such as skeletons, which can be promoted all the way up to Skeleton Lord, or even Skeletron, and Ghosts can be promoted to Shadow Lord. Eventually become a powerful creature with the combat power and intelligence that is not lost to the legendary powerhouse.

Reputedly. Once upon a time, there was a true god with the priesthood of death, who grew up from an ordinary little skeleton and finally possessed incomparable extraordinary powers.

Of course, for low-level necromantic creatures, I'm afraid they will never know the point of doing this, but this is instinct, the negative energy instinct that comes from the deepest depths of the darkness.

There are always exceptions, and ghouls are a very strange and unique species, but completely contrary to the characteristics of ordinary necromantic creatures. This is a question that has plagued necromancers for many years. It's just that there are too many low-level of them, and not many necromancers are willing to waste time researching them.

Leo didn't know why Doria chose this topic, so he could only guess if there was someone important to him. Becoming a ghoul, he focused most of his work on studying ghouls.

After a long period of observation, analysis, and realization, after "consuming" an unknown number of "real materials" materials. Doria finally finds out what the problem is, and when he uncovers the mystery, Leo is also surprised. I never thought it would be like this.

In fact, since recognizing ghouls as creatures, mages have made a crucial mistake - treating them as complete necromantic creatures.

According to Doria's research, ghouls are indeed disturbed by negative energy after the death of intelligent beings, and the "resurrected" life form should look similar to skeletons, no longer relying on life force activities, but driven by another negative energy called "death energy".

But this is not the case, compared to skeletons with only bones left, ghouls still retain most of their flesh and blood, even some of their physiology, which directly leads to the fact that on the one hand, they hate the living, and on the other hand, they envy the living. Although they are intellectually low, their primitive instincts still let them know that they must not devour their own kind, otherwise, the true "life" they crave will be farther and farther away from them.

This is the biggest difference between them and other necromantic creatures, as they retain some of the signs of the living, and when combined with the necromantic signs, they eventually develop their strange-looking behavioral traits.

Doria also redefined the classification of ghouls - "half-undead creatures".

In Leo's vision, this discovery, absolutely extraordinarily groundbreaking, is more than enough to be announced at the annual meeting forum.

But he could also see that Doria was very ambitious, and he was not satisfied with such a simple discovery, but hoped to use a new magic to make himself the only protagonist at the annual meeting, after all, mages must be more concerned with magic than the problem of biological habits.

Therefore, he needs to create more demons, and Leo's job is to help with the preparation of potions, statistics, and calculations.

As for Doria's thoughts, Leo can also understand that as a dark elf, Doria must make a difference, and it is difficult for most people to accept it without receiving this dazzling honor.

But I don't know if this professor has ever thought that as a minority, if he rushes forward, he may not get respect, but is likely to be hostile.

Leo deeply understands what it means to be profound, so he doesn't say this idea. And soon, he didn't want to talk about it even more.

Because after the introduction, Doria did not immediately arrange for Leo to work, but taught him a special technique based on the meditation method of the soul plane.

After a short attempt, Leo quickly mastered this special skill, which is not a rare one.

Its specific form is the spiritual power that runs in a special route within the soul. And these routes, apparently the best solutions found after countless years of adjustment, have increased the consumption of spiritual power by at least three times compared to ordinary operation methods!

In other words, Leo's mental power will be exhausted extremely quickly, and then he will enter a state of weakness. And after that, something magical happened.

Leo found that his soul was stimulated, and his mental strength was much faster than before. He has to admit that this technique is very special and useful, and if you continue to practice, it can indeed effectively increase the speed of meditation.

It's a joyful thing, except for its after-effects and drawbacks, which are Leo's current state of pain.

Doria, on the other hand, vowed that constantly stimulating the soul can significantly increase the speed of mental recovery and overall strength, which is of great benefit to meditation. And this method, known as the Dark Elf Extreme Exercise, is a fairly high-end method that will not be taught to others.

According to the tradition of the Dark Elves, everyone must constantly search for strong enemies and then fight to the death. If you are lucky enough to escape death and regain your health, your combat effectiveness will increase dramatically.

So this method is also known by another name: "NDE Resolve".

Now, Leo didn't want to care about what combat effectiveness was or not, he just wanted to rest for a while, even if he couldn't fall asleep, then it was better to close his eyes and be quiet, so he replied: "How is it possible, I won't get into psychedelic grass, let's not talk about it, I have to go back and lie down for a while." ”

Sanders obviously couldn't accept such a perfunctory answer, and said loudly: "You're in a very bad state right now! As your friend, I think I have the right to know what's going on!"

After more than half a year of getting along, Leo already knows the little fat man very well and knows that he is a warm-hearted good boy who is worthy of in-depth dating. At this moment, seeing that the other party was unrelenting, he had to push open the door and say, "Okay, I'll sue you when you enter the house, don't shout in the corridor." ”

............

A few minutes later, Sanders, who had learned the general situation, said with a surprised face: "You...... You're going to ......"

Leo leaned on the side of the bed, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, I want to release a result at the annual meeting." ”

The little fat man rubbed his fat chin and wondered, "Then you don't want to be low-key?"

Leo smiled weakly: "People can't always keep a low profile, I think I've figured something out recently." ”

didn't ask what he had figured out, Sanders patted Leo directly on the shoulder: "Well, I knew that someone as smart as you would definitely be able to figure it out, come on." ”

After saying that, he clearly wanted to continue talking, but he became hesitant again.

Leo, of course, could see what was going on and asked, "Say whatever you want." ”

Sanders finally couldn't hold back and said, "That...... Your research ...... Can you take it with you?"

Then he was afraid that Leo would misunderstand, so he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I don't want to share your results, and I don't want to sign it, I just want to see how you do it! ”

Leo didn't answer immediately, but frowned and thought about it.

Sanders misunderstood, his face turned red, and he asked, "Don't you believe in my character?"

Leo shook his head and said, "How can I doubt your character, but that place is not very pleasant."

"It's okay! trust me!" Sanders said with determination.

Since Leo was able to sue Saunders, that is, he had completely trusted him, and at this moment suddenly felt that it was not good to have a helper, so he agreed: "Okay, I can take you, but you have to promise not to sue SΓΉ anyone else." ”

Sanders slapped himself on the chest: "I promise in the name of my family and ancestors that I will never talk about this to anyone." ”

"Don't be so strict. Leo smiled, "I'm going to start today, there is no class at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and after lunch, we will meet at the door of the Desway room." ”

"Desvid, you mean......" Sanders naturally knew the prestige of this terrible room, and when he saw Leo nodding, he couldn't help but touch the sweat oozing from his head. Soon, he clenched his fists again and said, "Okay! I will be there on time!" (to be continued......)
