Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 7

Master Laurie circled around Alice, constantly amazed;
The female swordsman stood with a sword, with a somewhat embarrassed expression;
Xia Houyan on the side was holding his arms, his face was full of impatience.

"So, what do you think is going on?" Seeing Master Laurie stroked his beard and lost in thought, Xia Houyan asked, "Why did Captain Alice be resurrected like this?"

Master Laurie raised his head, looked at his lord solemnly, and solemnly replied:
"do not know."

What an ugly old face it was, Xia Houyan only felt the anger in his heart rise.

However, before the Lord Lord had an attack, Master Laurie pinched his chin and looked at Alice again, pondering:
"According to my judgment, there seems to be some deviation in your resurrection technique, so that Captain Comstock is now in a state between the living and the dead - look!
The old mage stretched out his dry branch-like hand and snapped his fingers crisply in front of Alice.

Under Xia Houyan's astonished gaze, a gray mist suddenly gushed out from Alice's facial features, and then gathered into a dangling body of mist around her cheeks.The female swordsman who didn't understand magic was a little scared at first, but she quickly calmed down when she saw that Elliot-sama didn't move.

"This is..." Xia Houyan frowned as he looked at the gray fog balloon.

"This is the magic power that I extracted from her body with the attributes of the nether." Master Laurie said solemnly, "The so-called necromantic magic, like any other magic, is a method of manipulating the magic power of specific attributes - and the necromancer The resurrection in the spell is essentially the infusion of ghostly magic into the corpse, thereby transforming the corpse into a 'zombie' driven by magic."

The old mage paused and continued cautiously:
"Lord Elliot, as you can see, Captain Alice has never had a heartbeat after being resurrected by you - this is impossible for a living person, because we always need the heart to pump blood and supply nutrients, So as to support the operation of the body. If I guess correctly, now, Captain Alice's body is not supported by the power of the heart pumping blood like a living person, but relies on another thing to drive the blood, muscles , and various functions of the body..."

"Netherworld magic?" Xia Houyan guessed the answer.

"Yes!" Master Laurie asserted, "At present, the reason why Captain Alice's body can continue to move is because her body has been infused with ghostly magic power by your resurrection technique! Her every move is not consumed by food. The nutrition she gets is magic power! From this point of view, her way of survival is no different from that of zombies, and the resurrection technique still has the theoretical effect!"

Master Laurie finished his conclusion in one breath, and immediately frowned again:
"But what I don't understand is... why does Captain Alice still have the same emotions, memories, and self-mobility as a normal human being? When a person dies, the soul dies completely, and magic works, at best. Manipulate the movement of human corpses, but it is impossible to restore the soul with self-consciousness..."

Master Laurie's self-talk made Alice dizzy—the captain of the female bodyguard, who has been practicing swordsmanship all her life, doesn't have the slightest understanding of these magical studies.

She looked at her lord as if asking for help, but found that Lord Elliot was lost in thought like the master.

These group of nerdy magicians... the female swordsmen rolled her eyes and groaned inwardly.

"And, apart from that, I have found a bigger doubt!" Master Laurie suddenly turned to Xia Houyan, staring at the Lord Lord with piercing eyes.

"Yes... what is it?" Xia Houyan felt a little guilty for no reason.

"When you were at the Mage Academy, what was the result of the last magic test?"

Magic test results?Xia Houyan retrieved Elliot Igor's memory, and soon recalled a strange scene:

——Elliot Igor stood in the center of a rotunda, surrounded by sorcerers in peaked hats and long robes.In front of Elliot, there was a blue crystal ball that was half a person high. The sphere was translucent, the smooth surface reflected the countless candles in the hall, and the interior of the sphere was full of criss-crossing crystal filaments.

Under the instruction of a Whitebeard mage, Elliot put his palm on the crystal ball; then, the filaments inside the crystal ball began to flicker.

When the flickering stopped, most of the crystal filaments were dimmed, but some crystal filaments showed a steady bright color, like strands of silver hair.

"One thousand and twenty-four pats!" The white-bearded mage counted the number of crystal filaments in the crystal ball, and announced to everyone, "Tier two!"

……

"I remember that I am a second-order mage." Xia Houyan recovered from his memory and answered Master Laurie's question.

"Look," Master Laurie said calmly, "the level of mages is divided into nine levels, and each time you cross a level, the magic power in your body will increase tenfold. You are now a second-level 'junior mage', And I'm a 'junior magister' of the fifth rank - but do you know how high the magic level is required for the 'top ten forbidden spells' represented by the resurrection technique?"

"Second-tier?" Xia Houyan felt that since he could use the resurrection technique, the requirements for this spell shouldn't be too high, right?

"It's the seventh order! The seventh order's 'senior magician'!" Master Laurie angrily compared the number seven with his fingers, "A magician below the seventh order cannot successfully cast a master-level magic like resurrection!"

A second-order mage opened his mouth: "But... I successfully resurrected a cockroach when I was in the academy before!"

"Do you think resurrecting bugs is the same as resurrecting humans?" Master Laurie squinted at Lord Lord.

Xia Houyan fell silent.

Indeed, according to Elliot Igor's memory, he was mostly idle and bored in the study of forbidden magic in school, and did not expect himself to be successful in this regard - one of the important reasons is that the casting of forbidden magic often requires extreme Elliot, who is supported by a large magic power, and whose magic power level is only second-order, obviously cannot meet this requirement.

Looking back now, when the cockroaches were resurrected, the magic power in Elliott's body was already emptied...

And when he used the resurrection technique on Alice just now, he went to the doctor with a desperate mentality. He didn't even remember it. This kind of taboo spell seems to have great requirements on magical power...

"Then..." He poked Master Laurie dully, "I am a second-tier junior mage, how did I resurrect Alice?"

Master Laurie stared at the Lord Lord with the eyes of monsters, and after a long time he answered solemnly:

"do not know!"

At that moment, Xia Houyan really wanted to completely expel the chief mage who asked three questions.

"However, I have already thought of how to study this mysterious phenomenon in depth!" Master Laurie's tone took a twist.

Xia Houyan and Alice looked at each other suspiciously.

"What method?" Xia Houyan asked.

"I have learned one thing from my long career as a magician!" Master Laurie smiled slyly, "that is 'practice makes true knowledge'! Only by witnessing your spell casting process can I judge that you have resurrected Ellie What happened when I was Captain Si! Lord Lord, if I remember correctly—Is there a few bodies of other guards in the camp?"

Alice on the side was stunned.

"You really are a talented person who studies forbidden magic!" Xia Houyan sincerely praised.

"A little bit, a little bit..." Master Laurie blushed.
