Chapter 849 Professor Laxmi who left the show early
Professor Laxmi sighed again.
He never expected that his dignified professor from the Ziggurat would one day be arrested for stealing corpses...
——As a "Walker of the Underworld", his professional abilities cannot be used directly during the promotion ceremony. Because this is the dream world itself, he cannot gain an advantage by entering a dream.
Then he can only use the basic profession, that is, the extraordinary skills of the Necromancer, to fight.
As a necromancer, what should he do?
Then of course we need to dig through the corpses...
...What if? Just rely on the preservation and petrification techniques, which only have auxiliary functions, to fight?
However, in this technologically advanced city, the funeral tradition is also quite complete.
Professor Laxmi searched for a long time using spirit-seeking techniques, but was surprised to find no wild spirits or corpses buried without a funeral.
——He probably realized that this was not some made-up city.
If nothing else, this should be the "future" of Avalon. Among human countries, only Avalon can have such a density of bishops, and people on the street basically talk a little bit like Avalon.
taste.
He had no choice but to go to the hospital to find some fresh corpses.
If there are fresh corpses somewhere in this city that have just died and have not yet had a funeral, just go directly to the hospital with the highest traffic volume.
So Professor Laxmi sneaked into the largest hospital in the city.
Perhaps it's because there are too many people in this city - it's even more populous than Leipzig - so the hospital is full of people. After all, based on the number of bishops stationed in this city, they can't recover enough mana every day.
to heal everyone.
Professor Laxmi found a large number of corpses in the morgue and was immediately shocked.
Sure enough, there is no perfect path!
He used necromancy to extract the souls from those corpses and turned them into his own spiritual bodyguards.
But when Professor Laxmi reached the sixth position, he was suddenly caught.
The size of the team that captured him was extremely shocking——
At least six fourth-level arbitrators were dispatched. Judging from their formation, at least one big shot with a "big letter" came to the scene in person, and there was even a red archbishop watching over him. There were others outside.
At least twenty fourth-level legal masters escorted him throughout the entire journey - his spellcasting ability was tightly sealed upon meeting him, and his body was covered with silver runes.
Professor Laxmi didn't even resist at all.
His first reaction was - could the identity I used be that of a wanted criminal?
…Shouldn’t I just steal the bodies of a few ordinary people?
Is this a violation of some laws of nature?
Professor Laxmi could swear that among the corpses he transformed, there was not even a corpse of an extraordinary person!
They were able to turn into spiritual bodyguards entirely because he gave the opponent the power of dusk.
——Even if I am guilty of stealing a corpse, isn’t this scale too outrageous!
He was not even detained in the interrogation room of the Supervisory Bureau.
Instead, he was imprisoned directly in the Inspectorate. There were many transfers and escorts in the process, and he even missed several choices.
Although he doesn't know much about Avalon, Professor Laxmi still knows... The Inspectorate is not a regular security department. It is similar to Star Antimony's "secret room" and belongs to a spy and counter-espionage department.
...How did I become a spy?
Professor Laxmi was very dissatisfied.
But when he was interrogated, he suddenly understood——
"Under the watchful eye of the Silver Crowned Dragon, all the lies you tell will be revealed. Odwar Rashmi, who instructed you to desecrate the body of the former Finance Minister? You stole his body to
do what?"
The silver-white flame of truth was already lit, and the majestic-looking Great Guardian asked with a serious expression.
At that moment, Professor Laxmi couldn't hold himself any longer.
"——Why is your minister an ordinary person? Why is his body in the hospital?"
You are poisonous!
Shouldn't such a big man die in his own house or church?!
The hospital could use a hammer!
"Don't answer questions with questions! Answer honestly - why did you use necromancy to desecrate the body of your former finance minister? What was your purpose in stealing his body?"
"I don't know where he is. I just want to do some undead self-defense... and no one instructs me..."
Professor Laxmi didn't know the real fire, but he guessed the function of the light, so he said honestly: "I didn't even touch the corpses of extraordinary people, I just planned to find the corpses of a few civilians... I even
I don’t know the Finance Minister... I just can’t find the body, thinking there might be one in the hospital..."
The Fire of Truth shows that all of his words are true.
At that moment, the harsh atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Even the interrogating Great Guardian breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but lean back in relaxation.
Obviously, stealing a body and trying to manipulate the body of a minister - or even the minister of finance, are two completely different concepts.
"Are you from the Ziggurat?"
The Great Guardian spoke softly and looked Professor Laxmi up and down: "Teacher of the Ziggurat?"
... Ziggurat?
Avalon also has a ziggurat?
Or is the ziggurat moved to Avalon?
"Yes, Professor."
Laxmi was a little surprised, but still emphasized: "I don't know... there is the minister's body in there. I am willing to apologize and compensate, so can you let me go first? I have something else to do..."
"I'm afraid not, Professor Laxmi."
The Great Guardian shook his head regretfully: "We still need further examination - judging from your accent, are you from the Red Castle?"
...Red Fort?
Hearing this, Laxmi was startled and realized something.
For a moment, his expression twitched. He wanted to laugh, but also wanted to cry.
His facial features were distorted like a clown, but eventually they gradually returned to calm.
Laxmi shook his head and emphasized: "I am a Star Antimony person."
"oh……"
The Great Guardian nodded thoughtfully and motioned to the secretary beside him to write down these words: "So you came to Camelot in the hope of restoring the former planet Antimony?"
"……No."
Professor Laxmi was silent for a while: "Since Star Antimony has perished... then so be it.
"I may be able to make a dead body move again, but I cannot bring a dead country back to life."
There was nothing abnormal about the real fire in front of him.
"Understood."
The Great Guardian nodded, then stood up: "Just in case, we need to do a test on you later - we cannot accept blood slaves staying in the country for a long time, please cooperate. As for the issue of corpses, we treat them as
The crime of corpse theft. The ticket will then be sent to the ziggurat. Principal Luo Lei will review it and decide whether to impose corresponding administrative penalties on you.
"By the way, I hope you can apologize to the family after this incident."
"Okay. No problem."
Professor Laxmi nodded and watched the Great Guardian leave with the Fire of Truth.
The Great Guardian was at the door and turned around: "Oh, by the way...
"I know that the ration of corpses in the ziggurat is indeed low. But please understand - there are not many enthusiastic citizens who can accept the donation of corpses after death. I can understand your behavior, but your behavior itself will make people
Even more resistant to necromancers. Reputation is cultivated by oneself, are you right?"
After saying that, the great guardian opened the door and left.
Then everyone else left one after another, and when the last person left, he got him a glass of warm water and put it in front of the table.
Professor Laxmi stared at the glass of water and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he felt that the whole world was shaking——
——There was an earthquake?
No, that's not right...
He realized that his dreams were becoming thinner.
My promotion ceremony is no longer stable - I am being awakened from the outside!
So Professor Laxmi, who was well prepared, immediately raised his handcuffed hands and said loudly: "I surrender, I abstain!"
About two or three seconds later, a young voice sounded in his ear: "Okay, I accept it."
The next moment, his dream finally collapsed and disintegrated.
He suddenly woke up from reality, his body tense.
Blood Coral was sitting by the bed, using a needle to pierce deeply into the nail seam of his little finger - this was the fastest way to wake up while causing minimal damage to the body.
"how?"
Blood Coral frowned and put down his hand: "I hope the news from you is not going well -"
"Indeed, indeed..."
Professor Laxmi spoke slowly, feeling strong nausea and vomiting coming over him.
Then there was severe, heartbreaking pain!
It is better to voluntarily admit defeat from the promotion ceremony than to forcefully escape from the dream. Without special countermeasures, the latter will at least start with serious injuries, and may even lead to death.
However, it is not easy to accept the punishment for failure——
Amidst the heart-rending screams, his skin suddenly bulged, forming small cone-like tents one after another, as if an invisible awl was piercing out of it!
His skin was broken and oozing blood, and his more fragile eyes, nostrils, and ears began to bleed.
There seemed to be worms crawling among the muscles in his body, and the flesh and blood of his body could be seen squirming with the naked eye.
At this time, Blood Coral fed him a bottle of potion, then forced him to raise his head, bit his neck, and forced him to take the medicine.
With the treatment of that bottle of medicine and the analgesic effect on his neck, Professor Laxmi quickly calmed down.
He seemed to have been seriously ill, and he had lost at least two laps of weight. There was visible fatigue in his eyes... but at least he survived.
"I have set up a silent barrier so it won't attract pursuers."
Blood Coral comforted him: "The pursuers may arrive in another hour or two, and I have to wake you up. Fortunately, we have prepared a resurrecting potion. It's just a pity...that precious reviving potion was wasted."
...Actually, if I had two more hours, maybe I would have succeeded.
Originally Professor Laxmi wanted to say this.
But after thinking about his points, he decided not to brag.
——This promotion is very risky, because the pursuers may find their traces at any time.
But there is nothing we can do.
Everyone is at the fourth level, so there is no gap at all... not to mention the large number of people on the other side. Only one of them can be completely out of danger if one of them is promoted.
Fortunately, Blood Coral brought a precious bottle of Resurrection Mixture with him when he left. It can be specially used to treat the damage caused to the soul when someone is forced to wake up from the promotion ceremony, or when promotion fails but there is no death.
It was Hong Xiang's private possession. It was originally intended to be used when sniping old Meg in Avalon, but it turned out that it was not used. So it was left with her - and when running away, of course, she had to take the valuables with her.
Bring everything with you.
Although this bottle of medicine could save lives during the five-liter-six ritual, they were already too late.
The pursuers will arrive at any time, and Professor Laxmi can only try to force promotion - if it is too late and must be forcibly awakened, or if it is too late but loses, at least the medicine can save one's life. Once successful, they will have a fifth-level transcendent.
You can immediately turn around and kill those fourth-level Moonchild pursuers.
"At least it's better than being killed in your sleep and finding out you're dead when the promotion ceremony is over..."
Professor Laxmi sighed: "Thank you, Blood Coral. You actually used it for me..."
"...After all, if you die, I will die too."
Blood Coral was a little helpless: "The Children of the Moon cannot move freely on the sea... I have to rely on you to pierce their ship."
"Well, leave it to me. Just protect our ship."
Professor Laxmi nodded.
It's just a pity...
"...I still want to see that future one again."
Professor Rashmi always feels that the future is very important.
But it's too late...
He gritted his teeth and grabbed Blood Coral's arm: "Listen, I may forget what happened in the dream at any time. You prepare the ceremony first, and I will tell you what I remember. Just listen...
