What is less common is the operating table on the west wall and the various human organs and specimens of fish carcasses placed in the closet.

Shade frowned and looked at the human fingers sewn onto the fish in the antiseptic liquid:

"Among the ring magicians I know, very few are good at undead abilities. Do all such ring magicians like to do such disgusting experiments?"

"There are only a few members. It seems that he is conducting experiments to artificially create specific water ghosts."

Megan flipped through the experimental records on the table, and then checked the densely marked books on the side. Ring magicians themselves are like scholars, so even cultists must have undergone various trainings:

"It turned out to be the idea of ​​grafting organs and limbs. This experimental idea was abandoned by the [Truth Society] more than thirty years ago. However, the Truth Society wanted to use experiments to graft organs from heterogeneous organisms into the human body, thereby trying to make human beings

He has the natural racial talent of alien creatures, and Barry wants to make the resurrected corpse more powerful... He still has some ideas of his own, but unfortunately not many. But considering that he is only of a low level, this talent is enough

Praise."

Although she didn't like this kind of experiment as much as Shade, she still looked through other records on the desk:

"The following are...oh? I see, they are made from the human body..."

"What?"

Xia De turned his head abruptly:

"Is that what I understand it to mean? Create life? He is just a low-level warlock, how can he do it?"

Although the highest masterpiece of alchemy is the "Philosopher's Stone", creating life through alchemy is actually the highest goal pursued by alchemy. There is even a saying that the Philosopher's Stone itself is the most basic form of life, because it is truly

The elixir of immortality configured with the Philosopher's Stone can repair defects in the soul and body at the same time.

There are even manuscripts written by ancient alchemists that indicate that the Philosopher's Stone can be directly integrated with the human body in a specific way and become a part of the human body in a very harmonious way - this is somewhat similar to Shade's thaumaturgy of "active clay"

.However, this characteristic was not recognized in the Sixth Age, because no one could reproduce the phenomena recorded in those materials.

"Barry is not creating life completely, it is very low-level. He uses living life forms to infect the corpses of the dead to form living undead. This is a strictly prohibited experiment. It does not look like a low-level warlock.

Can it be made...Huh? What is this?"

Amidst the sound of rain outside the window, she broke the padlock of the desk drawer and took out a document bag. After taking out the documents inside, she turned the pages faster and faster:

"Come here, look at this. The human body is made!"

"You've already said this once."

Shade walked over, but the witch shook her head, with a serious expression this time:

"It's not a rudimentary technique for sewing corpses. What I have in my hand is a real attempt to create life. This material is very simple. I can tell that it was given to Bad Eyed Barry by someone else to help him.

The one who completed the undead experiment. In other words, behind Bad-Eyed Barry, there is an extremely skilled alchemist. Although I don’t believe that the other person can really create life, he has definitely reached the forefront."

Shade frowned slightly:

"Is there such a powerful person in the Order of the Drowned?"

When he came into contact with the Three Cults of the Ocean in Coldwater Port, he had never heard that the Order of the Drowned was so powerful. Their level should be similar to that of the Scarlet Order, which had fallen into decline. The two had been fighting evenly for many years.

"No, it shouldn't be the Order of the Drowned that gave him this information."

The witch said with a somewhat ugly expression, twirled the paper, and then looked at the text in the manuscript:

"This special manuscript paper is commonly used in our family. Many of the family's past letters left by my father are on this manuscript paper. I have never seen similar paper other than this. This kind of handwriting is also used by my father.

I have seen it on the book below. Someone wrote down their thoughts on reading in this handwriting. This information on human body refining comes from the Edwards family. These information perfectly fit Barry's research, and it is impossible for him to pick it up when he landed on the island.

"

"this......"

This was information that he had never thought of. Shade looked at the lady in front of him in surprise:

"In other words, we have been able to confirm that the cultists appearing locally are really related to your family. Wait, one of your ancestors may be artificial humans?"

"Oh, of course it's impossible. To truly create life from scratch is the authority of the gods. Even the most brilliant alchemist can only use human models as a model and make certain additions and deletions. I suspect that one of my

Our ancestors were refined through the human body, so the prophecy that everyone will return circulates in our blood."

The witch gave the most likely guess, and Shade frowned and thought for a moment:

"Wait a minute, isn't your father Alphonse Edwards an adopted son?"

"It is suspected that he is an adopted child. No one can be sure about this. Moreover, the mysterious Edwards family suddenly adopted a child. Is this normal?"

The witch asked back, but she thought of more things:

"When my father was alive, he rarely talked about family matters. I originally thought he was an illegitimate son adopted as an adopted son, but in fact he is still of Edwards' blood. Now that I think about it..."

Her lips were pursed, and her face looked a little ugly:

"Father, could he also be a so-called experimental subject?"

"Ma'am, we don't have any evidence now, so don't make random guesses."

Shade comforted him and then made suggestions:

"If you believe me, when we separate at night, you give me some of your blood and I will verify your bloodline."

There are relics in the Fort that verify bloodlines. The relics have verified bloodlines for both Shade and Mia. But blood is also the best medium for curses, especially blood that is voluntarily donated. Therefore, you must be very cautious when giving your own blood to others.

.

This is a more dangerous move than giving the keys to your home to someone else.

Audrey nodded slightly:

"We'll talk about it in the evening and then look around to see what else is here."

She took away the information on human body refinement, which was also one of Edwards' relics. Then, she continued to check the desk and the bookshelf with various documents and materials beside it, while Shade checked other items in the laboratory.

part.

The items on the surface are all ordinary goods. A few potion materials may be valuable, but they have nothing to do with their goal this time.

Shade tried to find out more about the connection between Bad-Eye Barry, the Edwards family, and the religious order he belonged to, but he could only occasionally see prayers carved with sharp blades on the walls and experimental tables.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]

But Shade's excellent perception still showed its effect. When he pressed against the wall and touched every inch of the wall with his hands, "she" in his ear suddenly reminded:

【Underfoot.】

Shade's current location was the southeast corner of the room, so he bent down and knocked on the solid stone floor, and said to the witch who was rummaging through the documents:

"There are defense measures here, I can't untie them."

Of course violence can solve the problem, but Shade is worried that it will trigger the vigilance of Bad-eyed Barry.

"Look, there are things you can't do."

The witch came over and knocked on the floor a few times like Shade. After confirming the traces of elements, she took out a bottle of black magic potion from her bag and poured it into the palm of her left hand. Then she dipped some of it with her right index finger and applied it like ink.

The potion was smeared on the floor.

Soon, the black ritual matrix was outlined:

"Use fossils to make mud on the ground on the side, and then dig out a hole from the side. Be careful not to damage the floor area where I draw the ceremony."

Shade did as he was told and quickly took out a small safe from under the floor.

There were also traces of ritual processing on the safe, so the witch once again used her knowledge and experience to crack it. In just over ten minutes, the safe was opened.

In the safe, the pale heart is placed in a glass jar. The solution in the container is pale yellow, and small bubbles are constantly popping up around the pale heart. It is alive, and liquid is constantly being absorbed by the heart into the ventricle.

Then it was sprayed out from the other end. The liquid formed a circulation like blood. This scene looked extremely weird.
