When Christina woke up again from the nightmare she had quickly forgotten, she was afraid to open her eyes for a while.
Because she was a little afraid that as soon as she opened her eyes, she would see something terrifying that she shouldn't see...
Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, knowing that the atmosphere of the Ziggurat must be quite the underworld - but this was too underworld!
【Really useless】
The little girl's sarcastic voice sounded faintly in her heart with the sound of wind and echo:
[To be so scared by something like this...]
It's obviously the voice of a little girl, but her tone is as mature as an adult's.
"——What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? If you show this to ordinary people, at least eight or nine out of ten people will be scared!"
Christina argued in her heart.
After becoming familiar with Alice, she was no longer so afraid of him.
[So, do you think you are an ordinary person? 】
Alice's laughter was like a silver bell: [Do you... want to be an ordinary person? 】
For a moment, Christina was silent.
I don't.
She said in her heart.
Then she suddenly opened her eyes with the mental preparation of "opening her eyes to see a ghost"——
As a result, Christina unexpectedly saw the room decoration in a girlish style.
Purple gauze that reminds people of grapes is decorated in the corner to block the view. The curtains are decorated with many winding green vines, and there are many silver wind chimes hanging from the ceiling. And she is lying on the soft bed,
It was not a horrifying dismemberment table stained with blood and oil. On her body was a huge brown bear-shaped stuffed doll that was almost as tall as herself. This might be the source of her suffocation and nightmares.
Suddenly, Christina suddenly felt a lightness on her body, and suddenly she felt like she could breathe freely - it was the stuffed bear being taken away.
"She's awake."
Aurora's cold and emotionless voice sounded slowly.
She was the one who took away the teddy bear - judging from the color of her pajamas and the curtains in her room, this may be her bedroom. In the same way, she may have been the one who covered her with the teddy bear before...
Aurora was a student tutor assigned to the Ziggurat. Christina still remembered this very cute but cold girl. It was said that she was a fourth-level genius... and she looked even younger than herself. This
Let Christina envy and respect her.
Christina has been at the Ziggurat for just over a day, and she didn't sleep well at all last night.
Logically speaking, with Alice inside her body to protect her, she shouldn't be so scared. But not long after she arrived, several little girl-like ghosts floated over, took Alice away from her body, and went out to play.
After all, she was just a little girl less than half the height of an adult. It was rare that she met her own kind... Although she was a fifth-level evil spirit, she was taken out to play by other ghosts and came back at dawn.
.
——How irresponsible!
Christina said fiercely in her heart.
Alice snorted a little guiltily and did not dare to respond.
And since her soul was photographed, Christina has gained complete psychic vision - she can easily see a ghost coming through the wall and looking at her curiously from time to time, which makes her always feel as if she is being watched.
Same thing.
Christina is still new to living with ghosts.
If she could regard these ghosts as something that exists objectively, just like the free-range wild "seniors" in other schools, rather than some terrifying spirits that cannot be contacted, she would not be so scared.
, she can even chat and play with these friendly ghosts for a while. But she obviously can't...because when she sees these ghosts approaching her, she will get all hairy, frightened, and then scream.
But at the same time, she couldn't completely regard them as illusory things, so she always felt as if she was being spied on, and "people" would break into her dormitory all the time... But at this moment, they were in her heart
It seems to be real.
I feel that they exist, but also feel that they don't exist. While I fear them as ghosts, I also fear them as humans.
This made Christina feel creepy all night long... It was rare to be frightened into a coma, but she could take the opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, but she was already hungry.
but……
Christina looked at Aurora who effortlessly carried away the giant stuffed bear, and was a little confused for a moment. She always felt that something was a bit inconsistent...
"--Hello."
At this time, a calm young man's voice sounded. As soon as Christina heard this voice, she knew that it was the voice of a very standard "good boy" and "excellent student"... As soon as she heard it, she knew that his brain should be very good.
This was the last sound she heard before she passed out.
However, the one who made the sound was no longer a dead head, but a handsome young man wearing a dark mage robe, with a gentle and calm demeanor. He perfectly fit the image of a "handsome necromancer" in Christina's imagination - handsome.
At the same time, he has a frigid temperament, and his well-shaped dark circles and pale face look like a dark, smoky beauty...
You even have dark circles under your eyes, are you a genius?
Christina sighed in her heart.
Because she was mentally prepared this time - and Alice's courage, Christina was not so afraid.
In fact, she fainted before, mainly because she was too fragile after being watched by ghosts all night. Mainly because when she was eating breakfast, Aurora came over and gave her a finger and asked her to finish it.
Fan followed...but she didn't recognize the signs on the wall at all and walked in without any mental preparation.
Now that I think about it, it should be a laboratory or some kind of classroom. It shouldn't be surprising to a necromancer to have so many limbs...
...Not surprising, probably.
"Hello," Christina responded hesitantly, "Excuse me, was it because I was dazzled before..."
"No, that was just an accident."
The young man with a dead look on his face replied: "I'm very sorry about this."
That's what you said, but your expression didn't look like you were sorry... but rather proud. Do you want me to praise you?
Christina thought to herself.
"...That's really awesome, that thing."
She laughed along with him and praised vaguely.
Just for the sake of your handsomeness, let me praise you...
"Right!"
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke quickly: "I made many prototypes at first, from the humanoid undead with six arms, to the one with hands on its head, and then the one with legs.
I started to do it. Then I wanted to plant them in the ground and raise them as flowers... This idea actually felt good, I took notes, and maybe I can reuse them later. One of the main reasons why I didn't proceed was that the "cluster of hands" actually
I won't be able to grow a few arms, and they will block the sunlight from the leaves when they grow up. However, if the parts that absorb sunlight are concentrated on the skin, there may be unknown risks when transplanted to the human body. Maybe a botanist can cooperate with me.
, we can study the plan of growing entrails on trees... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Albert Lorey, you may have heard of my name."
...What are you talking about? It seems very powerful, but also very perverted...
Christina was a little dizzy when she heard it. Her brain filtered out the part where she felt something was not right, but her intuition told her not to continue asking. But she obviously heard and understood the last sentence.
"You're the Albert Lorre!"
She was immediately shocked.
The young master of the Lore family can be said to be the biggest star in the world - especially in Leipzig!
At the age of ten, before entering the supernatural realm, he could spontaneously summon the dead with his cries; at the age of sixteen, he had just become a transcendent for more than two years, and he could repair and transform the spirit body without the use of tools; at the age of eighteen,
, has independently created thirty-six unprecedented new types of stitched corpses, eight of which are still too advanced to be released publicly; at the age of twenty-five, he reached the fourth energy level of the dual path... It can be said that...
There is a chance to reach the fifth energy level before the age of thirty, and a "born big shot" who can double the path to the fifth energy level before the age of forty.
There is no doubt that he is the most powerful candidate to be the next Prime Minister!
When he first entered college, he was personally awarded the Order of Honor, territory and estate by the king for his contribution to the field of suturing corpses. He was publicly commended by the Secretary of War and awarded the rank of lieutenant by the Minister of War without even having been on the battlefield for a day. Now he is in college
Before graduation, he joined the "Star Antimony Laboratory", a national-level alchemy workshop, in advance and served as the leader...
In order to protect him, the specific appearance of this genius necromancer was not reported. There are no private photos or personal information about him, and they cannot even be purchased on the black market.
If it weren't for the Aiwass of Avalon who has now become the eternal pope... many people in Star Antimony think that Albert Lorey is better than the Aiwass Moriarty of Avalon.
, is the strongest and most talented transcendent of the younger generation! He is also the so-called "Star Antimony's future"!
——Shouldn’t he be working on the research and development of confidential projects in the “Star Antimony Laboratory” now?
One of Christina's seniors once said to her ostentatiously, "Albert Lorey's ongoing project can reverse the current situation where Star Antimony is unilaterally suppressed by Avalon. If it goes well, Star Antimony will have the opportunity to challenge Avalon."
"Avalon launched an extremely fierce counterattack". His family is engaged in the smuggling business to Avalon, so the information in this regard should be accurate.
But...why has he returned to the Ziggurat? Has that project gone bankrupt now?
etc--
Christina suddenly remembered that her "student mentor" Aurora held Lore's head very affectionately yesterday. If we exclude some horror stories such as "leading the charge", then they...could it be that kind of relationship?
My mentor actually knows that kind of legendary person?!
Christina was immediately overjoyed.
In her opinion, genius Lore is undoubtedly a big shot at the same level as Count Dawn. Although he is not yet at the fifth level, that is only temporary. He will definitely surpass him in the future...
And she almost sold herself to Earl Daun for a month for a little money - she was even afraid that she would sell her soul in the end. And she was not even a person in front of Earl Daun.
Now she has the opportunity to be related to this kind of shocking star antimony, who will definitely take power in the future, and even have the opportunity to ascend to the dream world and become a god. This is really thanks to Miss Aleister!
Just as Christina was thinking this, Albert asked softly with some hesitation: "I heard... you are from Aleister?"
"……Why?"
She was stunned for a moment: "Do you also... know my mentor?"
Even a big shot like Albert knows that respected gentleman?
Who is she?
"tutor?"
Hearing this, Albert was shocked.
He quickly looked at Aurora, and then understood something: "Were you resurrected by her personally?"
——Can you even tell that I was resurrected?!
Christina was immediately shocked.
Resurrection...she thought it was some kind of unspeakable taboo.
But at this moment, Christina felt her body suddenly become cold and her skin became tight. This was a sign that Alice in her body was controlling her body.
When Alice got up, her pupils were suddenly covered in dim yellow and became dull.
"——When you were unconscious in the morning, I controlled your body and sent you here. Otherwise, do you want to be carried over by a bloody stitched corpse?"
Alice said softly: "At that time, they already knew that you were a resurrected corpse... But then again."
"Christina" frowned slightly and looked at Albert: "I seem to have seen you before. Are you the one with the 'ban'..."
"'Stranger', my lord. 'Ban' is the Count of Leipzig..."
Christina watched helplessly as Albert put his right hand on his chest and bowed to her very seriously: "I am honored to see you again."
--What?
Is my tutor so respectable?
Christina, who had no idea who "Aleister" was, was stunned.
