Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Seeing that Cecilia did not immediately agree to his request to apply for the Morpheus Laboratory, Lynn spoke up again.

"Well..." he hesitated before speaking.

"Could you transfer the contribution points from Morpheus's nameplate to me first? After all, it belonged to him, and now that he's dead, the nameplate is in my hands. According to the rules..."

This was also Lynn's true purpose; in fact, when he obtained the Morpheus badge, he could have directly transferred the contribution points to himself.

However, he did not do that. In order to show his respect for the college system, he voluntarily handed over the nameplate for the college to arrange.

As for whether Cersei will refuse...

Cersei glanced at him but didn't say anything.

This request is not unreasonable; Lynn could transfer without the college's permission.

The fact that they are willing to hand it over voluntarily and let the academy decide is already quite a show of respect.

Moreover, she had just rejected Lynn's request for a lab, and to refuse again would seem too harsh.

She raised her hand, and Morpheus's nameplate flew into her palm, her mental energy probing into it.

A moment later, a large sum of money appeared on Lynn's nameplate.

"A total of 173,000 contribution points, enough for you to splurge for a while."

Lynn felt the numbers on the nameplate surge and finally a genuine smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Master's wife."

170,000 contribution points isn't much, which is less than 20,000 magic stones.

However, most wizards don't keep too many contribution points in the nameplate; instead, they choose to exchange them for magic stones or materials.

Simply put, physical objects are safer.

Cersei did not respond, but simply repeated her instructions:

"Don't cause trouble these next few days. Cooperate with the investigation, think carefully about how to answer, and don't be ambiguous or contradictory."

"Yes, disciple understands." Lynn bowed.

Cersei nodded; she believed the rascal knew his limits.

"Alright, there's nothing else here. Go back and get some rest."

"This disciple takes his leave."

After saying that, Lynn turned and left.

Only after his figure disappeared outside the door did Cersei withdraw her gaze, lower her eyes to look at Morpheus's nameplate and the apprentice souls on the table, her brows furrowing slightly.

Is this kid really that honest?

A freshman who had been enrolled for several years killed a veteran second-tier instructor without leaving her any clues.

It doesn't look normal at all; it's like an act.

But Lynn reported it promptly, gave a good reason, and was extremely respectful. He even handed over the nameplate, looking like he had a clear conscience.

But the more she felt this way, the more uneasy she felt.

Knowing this kid's personality, he would never be so honest!

However... Lynn is an interesting kid, and she doesn't want to make things difficult for him.

Let's see if this kid can get through this.

...

Lynn returned to his small cubicle in Gregor's lab, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.

There shouldn't be any problems.

With 170,000 contribution points deposited into his account, Morpheus's research results were all lying in the Memory Library, and his third main soul and those rare materials were safely in his hands.

As for review?

He reviewed every detail of his account to make sure there were no loopholes.

Morpheus deliberately laid an ambush; he acted in self-defense. After the kill, he immediately reported it, handed over the nameplate, and cooperated with the investigation.

As for how much stuff was missing from the lab, that was something that happened after the academy sealed it away; what did it have to do with him?

He leaned back in his chair and finally revealed a relaxed smile.

With a major threat eliminated and the inheritance secured, the word "satisfaction" hardly does it justice.

For the next two days, Lynn stayed obediently in Gregor's laboratory and did not leave the room for two whole days.

Morpheus's legacy was much richer than he had anticipated.

He first counted the magic stones—132,000 in total, neatly stacked in the corner of the Undead Ring.

With this money, plus the 170,000 contribution points that Cersei transferred earlier, they won't have to worry about resources for the foreseeable future.

It's true that killing and robbing is the fastest way to make money. If you just honestly do missions, how many years would it take to save up this much?

The amount of materials looted from the laboratory was astonishing.

High-level Soul Crystals, Soul Dust Essence, Void Dust, Holy Soul Fragments...

Morpheus's wealth accumulated over decades is now all in Lynn's collection, which is worth at least hundreds of thousands.

He selected a few urgently needed items for the upcoming experiments, and sorted and stored the rest away for later use.

They also made significant gains in the area of ​​magical artifacts.

Lynn disassembled Morpheus's soul shield generator and studied it.

It turned out to be a level three defensive artifact, capable of automatically withstanding three fatal soul attacks as long as the wearer has sufficient mental strength.

He wore it without any hesitation.

There is also a soul tracking ring, which can track the aura of marked souls within a range of 100 miles.

Morpheus had previously used this very thing to pinpoint his location in the Abyss of Decay.

Lynn studied it and kept it safe, thinking he might need it later.

There were still some disposable magical artifacts left, capable of instantly activating first and second-level magic, which were better than nothing for Lynn.

It's possible to sell them and make a small profit.

The following evening, Lynn finally had time to begin analyzing Morpheus's soul research data.

In the [Memory Library], knowledge about the crafting of the main soul, the construction of the substitute death contract, and the technology of separating the soul from the body was retrieved one by one and spread out in Lynn's sea of ​​consciousness.

He spent six full hourglasses reviewing all the data and using the "analysis" function to break down the core principles.

The core of refining the main soul is to find a sufficiently powerful soul as the base.

Ideally, it should be a powerful dragon soul, demon lord soul, or something of the same level.

Then, using special techniques, the impurities are removed, while a pure soul is continuously fed to it, allowing it to gradually develop a self-awareness that obeys the refiner.

The final step is the branding contract, which deeply binds the main soul to one's own soul. From then on, the main soul is not only an independent combat unit, but also the refiner's second life.

Morpheus's third main soul, which is made primarily of dragon soul, has completed the first two steps and is only missing the final contract imprint.

The principle behind the substitution of the main soul is even more ingenious.

The refiner needs to pre-embed multiple soul coordinates and life imprints within the main soul body.

When the physical body suffers fatal damage, the consciousness will instantly transfer to the main soul through coordinates, and at the same time detonate the pre-stored life energy to reshape the physical body.

In theory, the number of lives one can have depends on the number of main souls one creates.

Lynn remained silent for a long time after reading it.

If this technology were to spread, it would be enough to drive countless wizards mad.

This is real witchcraft that brings the dead back to life!

However, it also has fatal limitations.

Each transfer causes irreversible damage to the soul, and the main soul must be kept within a certain distance from the body for it to take effect.

Morpheus's life force was greatly weakened after dying twice, precisely because of this kind of depletion.

Even so, this is the ultimate means of survival.

Lynn decided to refine the third main soul into his own substitute main soul as soon as he had gathered all the materials.
