Star Antimony Kingdom, the capital is Lion Heart City.
Aurora woke up from her dream and gradually became conscious.
She endured the pain and completed the advancement, reaching the fourth level. Now she has become a true "disaster splicer".
Feeling her body gradually stiffen and then soften... Aurora slowly stood up and tilted her head, looking at herself in the mirror.
She had soft long platinum hair and a light purple nightgown. Her delicate and expressionless face had turned pale, as lifeless as a doll. She stretched out her hand and grasped it a few times, and then she felt something.
What.
She touched her heart.
——The heart has stopped beating. In other words, the heartbeat has slowed down to the point where it cannot be felt.
So Aurora tried to hold her head with both hands. She gently rotated it and twisted her head off.
She carefully held her head in her arms, but not a drop of blood flowed from her neck. The cross-section was as smooth as jade, shining with a warm oily sheen like the cut surface of a ham.
This is the special ability of the Disaster Splicer - every part of their body can be removed, replaced and upgraded at will, and can also be spliced to other corpses. From this point on, they no longer have weaknesses in the traditional sense.
, it is difficult to die from physical attacks.
Before she could sort out her harvest, she heard a shrill scream.
Aurora's heart tightened and she immediately put her head back on her neck.
She quickly walked to the door, opened it, and rushed to the ceremony room where her mentor was.
When Aurora walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
Their mentor, Little Fernando, was seen burning fiercely——
He rolled on the bed, scratching his skin with both hands. He kept making shrill, hysterical screams.
Little Fernando's body was dripping with blood, and his flesh was split... There was an endless flame exploding in the depths of his soul.
And Albert was waiting by his teacher's bedside, chanting spells in the hope of helping the teacher breathe a sigh of relief.
But it was little Fernando's soul that was ignited - it was the fatal injury brought out from the promotion ceremony, so Albert could not dispel the flames no matter how he tried to dispel it. Albert also tried using various mixtures, but nothing happened.
None of them had any effect. His hands had been severely burned...but despite all his efforts, he could only stop the flames from burning for a few seconds at most.
But he has tried his best.
If it weren't for Albert's efforts, little Fernando would have been burned to death in a few seconds. Aurora wouldn't have been able to hold on and come here now.
Aurora felt a little sorry for the senior who was rescuing her mentor.
So she quickly walked forward and pulled Albert away firmly, while whispering: "...let me try."
Albert turned back and whispered subconsciously: "Aurora..."
He is better at necromancy and alchemy, but is much worse than Aurora in terms of petrification and preservation talents.
So he took a few steps back trustingly and began to use alchemical mixture to treat his severely burned hands.
Aurora's pupils lit up with a dim yellow light.
She clasped her hands together and turned them into stone statues.
"Teacher... don't resist."
She said softly.
Then she stretched out her hands to touch little Fernando's body while chanting in a low voice.
The petrification began to spread rapidly, sealing the struggling little Fernando inside. His body was completely petrified, and the painful expression solidified, forming a lifelike sculpture of pain. It could almost be named "The Burnt"
"Dead people".
"...Let's do this for now."
Aurora pursed her lips and said softly.
Let’s petrify him and seal him away for now, and we’ll talk about it later if we have a solution.
Then she used the preservation technique to solidify the teacher's body again to prevent it from accidentally breaking during transportation.
She looked down at little Fernando with a sad expression.
At that moment, she thought of many things to say, but in the end she didn't say a word.
So she could only close her eyes and miss her silently in her heart.
"...Aurora."
Albert looked at her and called softly again.
"The teacher died for me."
She whispered sadly.
"The mentor is not dead yet."
Albert comforted somewhat feebly: "Maybe we will be able to save him in the future. Just extinguish the fire of his soul..."
Although the fifth energy level cannot be achieved...but maybe the legendary sixth energy level is possible?
So the next moment, the room fell into an embarrassing silence again. After a while, Albert was silent for more than a minute, and then he spoke again without having anything to say: "Do you remember what our mentor told us?"
Just tell me. Do you have a pen and paper to record it?"
"...I just woke up."
Aurora replied softly: "But I have been reading it silently in my heart."
She took out the paper and pen she had prepared in her nightgown pocket and started recording.
And Albert obviously woke up earlier than her.
He took out a small notebook that he had already written, and he had obviously memorized all the keywords that needed to be written down.
"Let's exchange ideas while we still have impressions... Do you know anything new that I don't know?"
"have."
Aurora replied briefly: "The teacher said, 'Don't be an enemy of Aiwass, he is the blessed person of the Twin Mirror'."
"...I only remember what the teacher told me. Aiwass and Queen Isabel are not the same. If the ziggurat is in danger, just go to Aiwass directly."
Albert flipped through his notebook: "Also, seriously investigate the Shadow of Avalon ritual..."
"I've already seen the last one."
Aurora added: "The ritual was real. Lancelot was indeed resurrected, and then he ate Aiwass. Then he went crazy... He was very powerful after going crazy. But Aiwass's soul
It seems to be in his body. I should have been saved by Aiwass. Otherwise, I would have died."
She honestly told her the last thing she remembered.
Although it was rare for Putao to say so many words in one breath, Albert still blinked in confusion.
——To be honest, he didn’t understand.
Aurora usually doesn't like to talk much and is a very quiet girl. She often sits in the corner of the classroom and quietly flips through textbooks. During the two practical classes of "Human Anatomy" and "Modification and Stitching" that other students are most looking forward to,
She always stood quietly on the outside of the crowd, never pushing past, and never snatching precious corpse materials from other students.
Every time the bodies were divided, she was left with only the parts that no one wanted.
Later, it was because she showed extremely strong talent in preservation that she was recruited by the teacher as an assistant. She was mainly responsible for preserving corpses - whether it was for the preservation of fresh corpses or the preservation of spliced corpses that had been spliced.
An assistant who is good at preservation. Aurora's talent for preservation is the best.
She and Albert were in the same laboratory at that time. Albert was carefully piecing together corpses, and she would either huddle in the corner and read a book, or stand far away and watch Albert stitch together corpses. She never spoke.
, and don’t bother him.
Sometimes Albert would still feel that she had left. But when he looked up, he realized that she had not left yet, and he was aware of his gaze and looked up at him in confusion.
...very cute.
Albert thought this way at the time and remembered this girl.
Later, they got to know each other well, and their tutor Fernando Jr. also realized this studious and talented student. On Albert's recommendation, he recruited her as his student. Although Aurora was not as capable as Albert
She directly helps her tutor with the assignments, but when her help is needed, she always fulfills her assistant's duties meticulously and conscientiously.
Unlike his harsh criticism of Albert, little Fernando still cared about Aurora.
Knowing that both Aurora's parents were dead, she didn't have much money. Not only would she bring her some snacks and drinks, but she would also invite Albert to treat her to dinner - when Albert himself was his student before, but
I have never been treated like this.
After Aurora got acquainted with them, she talked a little more. But it was a little more, but not a lot, and basically Albert always couldn't understand... The tutor was surprisingly able to understand.
——I can feel that she has tried hard to express it, but it always feels like she has omitted a lot of things.
It's like I said all the words in my heart, but didn't say them in my mouth.
...If it were a mentor, he would definitely understand what Aurora was talking about. Albert was a little frustrated.
Now that the mentor is gone... I have to take good care of Aurora.
Albert made up his mind.
After watching the final summary screen, he actually vaguely felt that...the instructor might have been deceived.
Because Albert finally saw everyone on the ship on the Great Guardian's Griffin. Almost everyone who had gathered at Moriarty Manor was here.
At that moment, Albert thought of a new possibility——
A very simple elimination method.
There are six settlement screens in total, and Grape is not among them. If the knight who died fighting in the Palace of Silver and Tin in the settlement screen at the beginning was a pirate...then the only people who did not appear clearly were the fox, the doctor, and Lulu,
Cheese.
But the "Fox" was the first among them all, and Albert first ruled out the possibility of him being laughed at and withdrawing. The mentor also said that Bishop Mathers should be the Fox... Considering Mathers' retrograde behavior at the time, in the end
It's possible that it was him who caused the explosion.
As for the remaining three people, they had never seen it from beginning to end, and the only empty scene was the flying ship. Among them was a person whose contribution was second only to his own.
Albert could only think of one person.
That is "Lulu". She is the third one and the path of beauty. At the same time, Princess Isabel is also the path of beauty.
——Is there a possibility that Princess Isabel is played by Lulu?
In this case, it can explain why Bishop Mathers said that "Aiwass and Isabel have a close relationship." This is information that only outsiders know.
And Albert thought of something else.
When they entered the venue, the little girl named Cheese who appeared last said something.
she says--
"Is it Sister Lulu? And Brother Fox - I'm Cheese, long time no see!"
In other words, Cheese was once in the same promotion ceremony with Fox and Lulu at the same time.
It is unlikely that there is such a coincidence that three people line up together in a row. So it is very possible that Fox and Lulu are together!
So the three of them were together, but the fox and Lulu robbed the meeting point. And if the fox and Lulu were together, the second "pirate" must also be with them. Considering that the pirates are most likely to be
If they are from the Avalon Oversight Bureau or the Inspection Council, Fox and Lulu must also be from Avalon.
——Could it be that Aiwass and Isabel are playing themselves?
Such inspiration suddenly appeared in Albert's mind.
No, not likely.
He dispelled this ridiculous suspicion.
If Lulu was really Her Majesty the Queen, how could the pirates dare to treat her like that? And in that case, the person who came in to accompany her in the advancement was too weak... and died at the beginning.
And since it is certain that "Isabel" was played by a promoted person, then the information obtained by the tutor is most likely inaccurate. Because it is very likely that "Isabel" has long seen through that he is not Sherlock and performed an impromptu performance to mislead him.
.
……but.
The stranger pondered for a long time, but still chose to swallow the secret.
If the information brought by the mentor is false, what is the worst that can happen?
That is, the intelligence is counter-intuitive - Aiwass and Queen Isabel are a group of people, and if the Ziggurat is in danger, we cannot directly defect to Aiwass.
...However, he really wants to defect to Aiwass now.
In other words, Aiwass doesn't care...
But he has some longing for the great guardian.
[——There is no reason, because you are a commoner. Because I am a knight—I am a knight bestowed with honor by Her Majesty the Queen, and I will protect her honor until death.]
[——It has nothing to do with your origin, nationality or willingness. If you did not participate in this war, you are not a soldier. You are a civilian. ]
[——Whether you are a Star Antimony or an Iris, as long as you are not a giant, I will protect you! I can protect you! 】
...Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes and longing for it.
Hearty, tenacious and straightforward——
This is a man! This is a knight!
The phrase "If you are not involved in this war, you are not a soldier" undoubtedly saved the somewhat depressed Albert. Although even if he escapes from Star Antimony, armed gargoyles may still be developed... but the result will be different from him.
personal wishes have nothing to do with it.
Now he wants to go to Avalon himself. And his mentor's "last words" are undoubtedly a powerful excuse to persuade others to come together.
Although Star Antimony now pays more attention and respect to technical personnel than Avalon, that respect comes from interests. It is precisely because their results will be converted into interests that their wisdom has value. And this kind of interests, but
at the expense of other people's happiness.
For a moment, Albert could not think of... any research that would definitely help others.
——He remembered that Master Hei Xiang said something shocking to the students at the opening ceremony.
Necromancy, from the very beginning, did not appear for the purpose of war or killing.
"That's the technology that allows the dead to return to the world. It's a miracle that reverses life and death and creates eternity! It's to turn the decay into immortality, to make the incomplete become complete, to reunite the separated people, and to allow the people in the past to be able to
Meeting people from the future - a skill that exists to obtain infinite time in a finite destiny!"
The black phase's speech gave Albert his belief and pride in necromancy.
It once made Albert doubt himself, but now it has become a new goal in his heart.
"Let the decay become immortal, let the incomplete become complete, let the separation reunite again, let the people in the past reach the future..."
Albert murmured, a dim yellow light slowly shining in his pupils.
His life is undoubtedly happy.
Unlike Aurora, he has no one in particular that he wants to resurrect, and no memories worth remembering.
But now, as he looked at his petrified mentor, he felt pain and nostalgia for the first time.
He seemed to understand Lord Black Phase's philosophy.
——For people in the past to reach the future.
The Doom Splicer has the possibility to create a complete body without a soul, while the Amber Craftsman can stuff one person's soul into another person's body. When the two are combined, isn't that a kind of resurrection?
New research, let’s start with… prosthetics.
"——Let the incomplete become complete first."
On this day, a boy who was ignorant of the world became a young man with his own ideals.
