The most fundamental reason why Raymond insists on developing this "Turn Around" skill is that the essence of this spell is "to use small things to make big things happen".
If this spell can resurrect the dead strong men as he imagined, then he feels that he really has a super powerful means to fight against the World Headquarters.
Raymond's extraordinary level is not yet high. When talking about the world structure with top-level bosses such as Capone and Third Uncle, they would always keep it secret for fear of affecting Raymond's determination to become stronger. .
But now came the adventure of "Elven Secret Realm". Raymond came into contact with the high elves and demons from the ancient mythology period, and touched some secrets. He also vaguely guessed what the big guys were avoiding talking about. .
The world is huge, and the more you explore it, the more you will feel humbled and helpless about your own insignificance.
It's like no matter how hard you try, you're always stuck in a corner, unable to jump out of a certain "ceiling"... This is a despairing understanding of the world.
Just like what General Meng Ge said before...if this world is a cemetery, all living creatures are low-level creatures buried with the ancient gods. Do you still feel proud because you are a transcendent?
But if you want to really come into contact with the ultimate truth of the world and break this pattern, you must stand in the current position of the "Twelve Sages" and see the world.
Last time in the country of giants, Raymond met with Roland and talked about some topics.
Only then did he realize that the task he had accepted to "expose the hypocrisy of the Twelve Sages" was a task that could be completed alone.
The World Headquarters may be okay...both the navy and CP9 are in the open. But the "Twelve Sage Families" controlled by them are the truly terrifying existence.
Lorraine is a descendant of the Great Prophet Mass family, and she is very aware of the underlying strength of the "Twelve Sages Family". In her more reserved words, even the original Pirate King Delos was not strong enough to shake the foundation of the Twelve Sages. the point.
What the world has seen is just the tip of the iceberg revealed by the "Twelve Sage Families".
Moreover, it was only after she "awakened" that she discovered...among the top leaders of their Twelve Sages, there might be a more terrifying force secretly influencing certain decisions.
This world is far from as simple as it seems.
Therefore, Raymond needs a "lever" to leverage the world structure that has been controlled by the "Twelve Sages" for a thousand years.
The technique of "turning around in dirty soil" is a good "leverage".
...
The exchange of fire at "Moon Spring Fortress" did not last long before the city gate was breached.
During this time, Queen Isa was killing everyone in the city. The top masters of the demon clan had long been killed and fled.
Working together inside and outside, it didn't take long for the elves' army to break through the demons' defense line and rush into the fortress.
The friends of the "Ghost Group" also met Raymond, who had been practicing here for almost two months at Moon Spring.
"Is everyone here?"
Raymond looked at Anna and the others, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been practicing for almost two months.
And he was pleasantly surprised to find that his friends had changed a lot because of the baptism of war.
In the past, everyone was like a sharp sword hidden in a sheath, but now its sharp edge is exposed, and everyone's momentum reveals a fierceness.
"Little Titan" Thor, this warlike giant, always goes to the front line in fierce battles. At this moment, he has many scars on his body, but they have left a mark on him.
Sha Mao got himself a suit of lightning half-armor. Looking at the marks on it, he probably wasn't lazy.
Colin and Nicole have not changed much, but the mechanical battle suits they wear are much more sophisticated than before. High-level runes can support stronger and stronger external mechanical skeletons...the ones in their hands
The "Magic Annihilation" weapon gives people a "very dangerous" feeling.
The one who has changed the most is Anna.
She still looked hot and sexy, with a carefree look, but Raymond saw a "confidence" in her eyes that he didn't have before.
This has never happened before.
At the beginning, even though she had taken the most powerful devil fruit [Sea Fruit], which is known as the most powerful in the world of navigation, and she was the sailing priest of the ancient sea god "Tiaz"... But because of her rank and strength, she was in the "Ghost Group"
"Zhong has never been very strong in combat.
Anna does not lack background, but what she lacks is practical experience.
This time, General Mengge, the top mage of the elves, taught Anna step by step the fighting skills and taught her many of the spellcasting tips of the elemental mage.
This makes her a super-powerful spellcaster who can truly stand up to high-level supernatural beings.
After everyone chatted for a while, everyone naturally discovered that their captain had advanced.
Sha Mao looked at Raymond and said with joy: "I thought we had worked hard to become stronger... I didn't expect that the captain was even more powerful and had already advanced to Sequence 3."
Thor also stared at Raymond with a faint look on his face, slightly discouraged, "I thought I had become stronger, and now I might be able to beat you, Captain. Now it seems... it seems that the gap has widened again.
Already."
"Huh..."
Lulu stared at Raymond's face carefully, doubts in her eyes.
He seemed to have discovered something, and said slightly worriedly: "But, Captain, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Is there something wrong with the advancement? Do you want me to check it for you?"
As soon as the big-headed son said this, everyone in the "ghost group" focused their eyes on Raymond's face, staring at him until his scalp went numb.
"Ah? I...I'm fine..."
Hearing this, a flash of embarrassment flashed in Raymond's eyes.
These days, he hangs out with Queen Isa every chance he gets. How can he not have dark circles under his eyes?
Moisturized by the spring rain, the Queen became more and more beautiful, and he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
Color is like a bone-scraping steel knife... No matter how high the extraordinary level is, this is a wise saying.
"Ouch..."
A woman's intuition is really terrifying. When Anna saw Raymond's expression, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed into a foxy smile, and she joked faintly: "Our captain, it seems that he has been working very hard on his practice recently..."
"Captain, according to the witch doctors of our pure-hair tribe, Captain, you seem to have 'kidney deficiency'."
Sha Mao doesn't think it's a big deal and he's serious about popularizing science.
After a pause, the idiot continued: "This is a small problem, and it can be solved with food supplements. I know that the 'Ten Whip Wine' secretly brewed by Third Uncle is very effective. Do you want to give the captain a pair?"
Thor winked and said with a mischievous smile: "The voodoo secret recipe of our giant clan is also pretty good..."
Nicole pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.
"..."
Raymond was so irritated by the sight of several people. Except for Lulu, these guys really didn't understand, and the other guys were just making fun of him.
There was a sense of joking in everyone's eyes... How could they not guess what happened?
The captain and the queen went deep into the demon clan and lived together alone for two months...Looking at the situation, Raymond must have lost his kidney with the queen.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous, and the fire of gossip burned brightly in everyone's eyes.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being his own captain, and he even managed to defeat the demigod-level Elf Queen?
The ultimate...awesome!
To overthrow the Queen... This is something that many people dare not even think about!
Not to mention the identity of the female elf queen Isa, her semi-god-level strength makes almost all men flinch. She has peerless beauty, respected status, and the strength of the first echelon in the world. It can be said that this world
No one in the world can match her!
Captain Raymond...actually gave her a haute couture?!
"Ouch... Captain, why don't you look so good?"
"..."
Being stared at by everyone with "malicious intentions", even though Raymond had a shameless face, he was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Colin resolved Raymond's embarrassment.
...
"That...captain..."
Colin rolled his eyes and changed the topic directly, saying: "We have found another 'mythical instrument'. This is very similar to the instrument we found in the Jaffatron Dungeon..."
"oh?"
Raymond was granted amnesty and said quickly: "Take it out and have a look."
"This is it..."
Colin took out a rectangular biological instrument and said: "When the elf warriors invaded the 'Rosei Volcano', most of the instruments for cultivating the demons had been destroyed... We only found a few of them from the ruins.
The 'cultivation cabin' is still in good condition..."
This "culture chamber" seems to be made of some unknown material that looks like wood or stone. There are some red and blue blood vessel-like connecting pipes on it, and ancient runes in devil's language are engraved all over it.
Looking at his appearance, Raymond's face looked a little strange.
Isn't this rectangular box a coffin?
The maritime world is full of sea burials, so there is no such thing as a coffin.
"It's really another biological instrument..."
Raymond glanced at the name of the instrument, and the words "Demon God Gethos's Life Culture Cabin (Broken)" appeared unexpectedly.
This is clearly another component of the war artifact [War Factory] of the ancient "Fire Demon Gethos".
"We have roughly tested these 'culture chambers', and they have some very strange functions."
Colin explained as he opened the lid: "It can revitalize corpses whose cells have not completely died. It can also cultivate a complete organism from fragments of biological tissue, and can even fuse multiple organisms without any loss of life."
Genetic rejection of xenobiotics..."
After a pause, he continued: "For example... throw in half a fresh tiger carcass and half a lion carcass. This 'culture chamber' can cultivate them into a hybrid animal with the common characteristics of a liger and a tiger. Although
The cell is alive, but it does not possess physiological 'life'!"
"That's it..."
When Raymond heard this, he immediately realized where those demon orcs came from.
Humanoid creatures mixed with various Warcraft cells were originally mass-produced using the fusion of these ancient instruments.
Instilled with demonic energy, he becomes an orc with low intelligence.
Lulu also jumped in and said: "As far as the function of restoring cell activity is concerned, this 'culture chamber' is perfect for healing injuries. It can quickly heal limb wounds."
Colin nodded and continued: "Lulu and I speculated that with this kind of 'culture cabin', combined with the 'soul displacer' we got before, maybe... it can resurrect the dead. However,
After testing, we discovered some technical problems that cannot be solved for the time being..."
Colin and the others implanted the "ghosts" previously captured in the dungeon into fresh demon corpses, and discovered two fatal problems.
First: the corpse will repel the soul.
Even if the soul is forcibly transplanted using instruments, the two will be separated immediately once they leave the "culture chamber".
Second: The "resurrected" demons are like zombies without any intelligence at all. They have not inherited any instinctive memory from "ghosts" or orcs.
The scientific community has almost zero research on the soul. Even though Colin and Lulu are both top scientists in their respective fields, they don't know how the soul actually works on the corpse.
These two problems directly put them into an insurmountable dilemma in studying the topic of "resurrection of the dead".
After describing the difficulties he encountered, Colin said with a little disappointment: "It should be that part of the instrument is missing, so it failed. But even so, the possibility of 'resurrection of the dead' is not high. There is no soul.
Memory will eventually create some low-earth intelligent creatures like half-orcs..."
"Resurrection from the dead" is a legendary "miracle" that only gods can accomplish. For mortals to achieve this step, it is like a fantasy.
...
"Have you researched this far?"
After listening to Colin's narration, Raymond was indeed a little surprised.
In such a short period of time, they figured out the general function of this instrument without being prompted by the system?
Moreover, the idea of ​​resurrecting the dead is also the core technology of his "reincarnation from dirty land".
There are scientists in the group, which really saves Raymond a lot of trouble. If he wants to figure out the functions of these instruments by himself, he doesn't know how much time it will take.
As for the difficulties that Colin and the others had researched, Raymond also had some thoughts of his own.
Hayings's notes clearly expressed a point of view. The body is only the carrier of the soul, but the two complement each other. Only the body when the soul is born is the only carrier with 100% compatibility.
The two problems Colin and the others encountered were that the first one might be able to use the original soul of the corpse to reduce the repellency.
But this method can only be tried by Raymond, a person who has mastered the secret method of the soul. The specific results will not be known until he tests it.
If that doesn't work, wait until you get out of the secret realm and ask his cheap senior brother who has a thorough study of undead magic. You will definitely be able to get some help.
As for the second problem, Raymond has now solved it.
[Soul Enlightenment] This skill is to restore the mind of the dead...
...
All members of the "Ghost Group" reunited, and everyone didn't just chatter about a few instruments.
The experiment of "dirty soil reincarnation" still needs a lot of time to verify and solve the problems, and it won't happen overnight.
Several people were chatting and sharing some of their experiences and gains on the battlefield in the past two months, and the atmosphere was very lively.
And at this moment, a certain naughty monkey suddenly jumped on a green puppet and screamed "squeak", as if it had discovered a novel toy, and showed it to everyone with a grin.
"Hey...Captain, what is that? It looks a bit like your 'sacred wood puppet'?"
Lulu and this puppet stayed in the same room all year round. He was very familiar with it. The puppet responsible for refining medicine should be Raymond's sacred wooden puppet.
But looking at it, I felt a little confused.
The previous "sacred wood puppet" was shiny and shiny, like a puppet with pulp on its plate, and was completely dead. But the wooden puppet in front of me is full of life, with some new green branches growing all over its body, like sprouts.
of tree species.
Everyone looked in the direction of Lulu's finger and naturally saw the green wooden puppet.
"Oh...you said this, it is the sacred wood puppet."
Raymond's expression was slightly different, and he explained: "'Moon Spring' has a powerful birth-inducing effect. I took out the puppet, but I didn't expect it to sprout on its own..."
The "Sacred Wood Puppet" is still a treasure obtained when we were in the Black Sea, and it is indestructible.
But as Raymond's extraordinary level increased, the puppet also withdrew from the battle order, and could only do odd jobs and practice medicine on weekdays.
Queen Isa told him before that this floating island is actually the place where the "Sacred Tree of Life" was born, and the "Moon Spring" is the spring that watered the Sacred Tree. Unfortunately, the Sacred Tree of Life had been destroyed as early as the mythical period, and had long been destroyed.
No trace can be found.
An idea flashed in Raymond's mind, thinking that the puppet was a product of branches of the Divine Tree of Life, and the contact between the two might trigger some special situation.
This time you try it, you will see the effect before your eyes.
The sacred wood puppet... actually sprouted!
I don't know if it's good or bad...
After listening to Raymond's narration, Lulu became more interested in the spring water of "Moon Spring".
He wanted to collect some samples for research. No matter what kind of container they were stored in, they would be completely corroded when they entered the water.
Raymond spread his hands and said: "Lulu, if you want to get water, you can only use mithril vessels. You can also only hold the spring water flowing out of the cliff so that it will not be corroded... However, the spring water there is better than
The efficacy of this pool is gone..."
Don't ask Raymond why he knew this, because this guy had already planned to take some "Moon Spring" water with him.
This is the conclusion he came to after trying it.
"oh..."
Although he couldn't take it away, it didn't stop Big Tou's son from being interested in the spring water. He just squatted by the pool and began to study it.
...
The happiest thing about regaining the lost land "Moon Spring" is the warriors of the elves. This is the holy land of their clan, the sacred place legendary by their ancestors. After being occupied by the demons for hundreds of years, they finally set foot on this sacred land again.
In the land, the faces of the elven warriors were filled with excited smiles.
In the past two months, the entire floating island has become lush, with flowers and green grass everywhere, the sun is shining brightly, and it is a scene full of spring.
This is the most beautiful "big garden" Raymond has ever seen.
As night fell, after a day of fierce fighting, the demons in the fortress had been cleared.
Bonfires were lit up everywhere in the city to celebrate victory. The boys and girls who had defeated the elves in the war sang beautiful poems and danced cheerfully. Many of them even took off their armors and jumped into the spring.
Take a bath and swim happily in the flowing river, hoping to wash away the fatigue caused by the war...
The location of the "Moon Spring" castle is at the highest point of the entire floating island, with a panoramic view of all the scenery in the city.
It is common for men and women to bathe together among the elves, but for humans like Raymond, it is a bit too strange.
Raymond stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the scenery, his thoughts a little far away.
At some point, Anna also came over. She watched with Raymond generously, occasionally pointing and commenting on which elf girl had a good figure, which one had tall breasts, which one had a perky butt...
This carefree red-haired lady often made surprising remarks, "Elf men are handsome, but they are a little slender and far less powerful than you, Captain..."
"Oh, these elf girls are much worse in stature than the Queen... Don't you think so, Captain?"
"Ah? Probably so..."
"Probably?"
"..."
The more Anna teased him, the more Raymond felt the wind chilling his spine.
Sure enough, he couldn't learn from those stern-faced responses in the dramas about scumbag men in his previous life.
