Great, now we are dead!

"Hmm? Marushir... Marushir?"

"Ah...oh!"

The elven mage, no longer gloomy as before, nodded blankly: "You're right, that's indeed the case... Eh? What's with all this meat?"

Ye Shou countered, "As a gourmet, it's perfectly normal for me to carry some precious meat ingredients with me, isn't it?"

"That's true... umm... eh?"

Something just doesn't feel right!

Maruhiel looked at the meat lined up on the ground, then at Ye Shou, and tilted her head to the side.

Ye Shou didn't stop. He continued to take things out of his backpack, but this time the cooler contained packets of blood in some kind of transparent material.

"This is?"

"Blood."

Ye Shou said calmly, "Human blood."

"!"

"Could there be anything more suitable than this?"

Ye Shou smiled and explained, "Don't worry, this was obtained through legitimate channels. The blood donors were volunteers and are all alive and well. There's no need to worry about any soul fragments being mixed in."

"Oh……"

Now, not only Chilchuck, but even Leos and Sensi felt something was amiss.

Why would you put human blood in a backpack?

"As a gourmet...traveler, I'm worried about getting injured and losing too much blood. And since I don't know healing magic, it's normal for me to carry two blood packs with me, right?"

Is this normal?

The group exchanged glances. The medicine in this world was actually quite advanced, and they had even developed things like hallucinogens and anesthetics, but these were not things that most people could access, especially blood transfusions... People usually used healing magic and then ate something good to slowly replenish their bodies.

However, this was Ye Shou's good intention, and Leos decided not to investigate for his sister's sake.

Only Marushir rubbed her lips with her fingers, looking completely puzzled.

After looking at the meat on the ground several times, I finally couldn't help but ask.

"But you clearly have normal ingredients, so why are you eating..."

"Monster cooking is my hobby."

"oh oh"

Marushir touched her earlobe.

She didn't want to comment on other people's interests, but something still felt off...

"Huh? Then why didn't you tell me you had normal food? I could have exchanged it for money or something else!"

"..."

"But I ate monsters all the way... Huh?"

Marushir's eyes twitched as images of the various monsters she had eaten over the past few days flashed through her mind.

"You've forgotten, haven't you? Please tell me you've forgotten!"

"Um, I'm sorry..."

Ye Shou suddenly turned his head and chuckled.

"That's exactly the reaction I've been waiting for."

"..."

"Marshiel? Marshiel!"

"Ya Bai! He just stood there and lost consciousness!"

"Marshiel!!!"

Chapter 65 It's common knowledge that using psionic energy will cause freezing.

Okay, let's name her [Marusir]

What a great name...

……

"Malushil!"

"what?!"

Suddenly snapping out of her daze, the elven girl cupped her face in her hands, her gaze lost in thought: "Walk, a revolving lantern?!"

"Are you OK?"

"...Um, it's nothing."

Marushir blinked. "What... what's wrong with me?"

"Oh, that hurt just now!"

"cough!"

Chilchuck stepped on Leos's foot, then chuckled, trying to cover it up, "It's nothing. Listen carefully, Marushir. Don't ask anything, don't think about anything. The important thing is to revive Farin, understand?"

"Fallen...yes! Farlen! That child is in great danger!"

Marushir gripped her staff tightly, glanced at the corpse on the ground and the materials at Ye Shou's feet, and suddenly bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help!"

It seems a little off, but that doesn't matter—that's what Marushir thought.

Ye Shou readily agreed, ignoring the previous little incident: "No need to be so polite, let's begin the resurrection ceremony immediately."

"Ok!"

After calming herself down and thinking for a moment, Marushir made up her mind and said to everyone, "Ordinary resurrection magic is useless to Farin now, and I am not good at that kind of conventional magic... I'll tell you now, what I've been researching is ancient magic that has been lost and forbidden to be touched. It's probably the only thing that can save Farin."

"Ancient magic? Isn't that just dark magic!"

"Be careful! That's not a good thing."

Chilchuck and Sensi were both shocked – quite a few things had surprised them today.

The world's most skilled magic users are elves and goblins (dwarves), but the former are the truly dominant race, with only the dwarves once able to contend with them for supremacy.

"Black magic" is the definition given by the elves. They are very secretive about some of the magical research they conducted in ancient times, and they forbid anyone or any race from exploring it. Once discovered, they will be controlled (imprisoned).

Marushir is a half-elf who grew up with short-lived species, so her behavior is not much different from that of humans. However, this does not mean that all elves are easy to talk to.

The spirits in "Delicious in the Labyrinth" are not the kind of people who like to eat vegetables, are scantily clad, and are generally considered eccentric.

On the contrary, they are extremely skilled in combat, are racially discriminatory towards short-lived races, and show no mercy whatsoever!

Marushir had anticipated their reaction, but she had already been prepared when she chose dark magic, so she simply looked at Leos: "You are a relative of Farin... it's up to you to decide."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Marushir."

Without the slightest hesitation, Leos pleaded in a trembling voice, a rare occurrence for him, "Bring Farin back!"

"Ok!"

"...There's really no way around it."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Chilchuck had no choice but to say, "Since there's no escaping it anyway, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm going to draw a magic circle now. Everyone, thaw the meat and wipe it dry before putting it in to avoid affecting the pattern of the magic circle... Prioritize mammals, such as cows, sheep, pigs, whales... Pay attention to the quantity, don't put too much of any one kind."

There was also human blood… Farin was really lucky to find so much fresh human blood at a time like this.”

"it is good!"

"Shall we go to...Leos first?"

Seeing that he was staring blankly at Farine's skeleton, Ye Shou nudged him and asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"

“Oh, no… I was just thinking that after Farin’s resurrection, her body would be mainly composed of pork and beef and mutton…”

"Indeed, seeing your loved one like this must be heartbreaking—"

"It looks just like a dumpling."

"what?"

Ye Shou stopped. "What did you say?"

"When all the ingredients are mixed evenly together, isn't that just dumplings?"

"..."

"But thinking about it carefully, there would be human blood in it... If it were really dumplings, the filling would definitely taste terrible."

"smell?"

"After all, I have no interest in the smell of humans... Ye Shou?"

Leos blinked, then asked incredulously, "What's wrong?"

"……fine."

Ye Shou took a half step back, his smile unchanged: "Don't think too much, let's get to work."

Is it an "essential" abnormality?

Although they differ in direction and in the manner of expression from a particular psychologist...

Ye Shou tried his best to imitate Uncle Ba, but it was not as good as Leos's occasional genuine expression of emotion, and a huge sense of frustration arose spontaneously!

……

“Topiles, Lyfao, Kiljulonra…”

Marushir stood in the small circle outside the magic circle, resting her staff on the ground and chanting incantations.

Soon, the temperature in the entire space plummeted. The more sensitive Chilchak immediately hugged his arms, shivering as he looked around. Whether it was his imagination or not, it seemed as if dark shadows were flashing around, and the eerie and terrifying atmosphere was unbearable for the halfling.

"Is this going to freeze?" Chilchak instinctively grabbed Ye Shou's leg.

Ye Shou watched this scene intently, his brows furrowing slightly.

What he could learn from books were all conventional spells, and Marushir's dark magic was clearly not among them. Moreover, at his current level, he couldn't even analyze it... There was a huge gap between the two in terms of their overall systems.

Modern magic manipulates atmospheric spirits to create supernatural phenomena, while ancient black magic can affect much more than just the surrounding environment.

“Giotto! Luxlaa Angel…”

Marushir's staff is not made of metal, but woven from extremely precious "tree branches," which are alive in themselves and closely connected to Marushir's state.

Now its spirally woven staff has been unraveled, and the staff's tail, like tree roots, spreads outwards along the ground, firmly rooted in the magic circle.

Magic! An immense magical power, absolutely superior to any individual, flowed from the unknown space, surging and rushing along the lines!

Glug glug glug

Large amounts of flesh dissolved into liquid, churning like magma, engulfing Farin's remains...

hum!

Thin veins crawled across the stark white bones, then muscle fibers filled the gaps, internal organs rolled out of the blood, and the entire skeleton “expanded” at a visible speed, revealing a bloody and mangled human outline!

"Ijuras!"

A powerful surge of magical energy transformed into a fierce wind that swept across the surroundings. Marusir collapsed from exhaustion after finishing her incantation, and Ye Shou quickly stepped forward to support her shoulders.

"I'm fine... Farin, how is Farin?"

Leos immediately ran over and carefully pulled the girl, whose skin was covered in blood and whose original color was no longer visible, from a pool of blood.

"……cough!"

The girl coughed suddenly, like a newborn baby.

Leios was overjoyed at this reaction and quickly patted her back, causing the girl to cough up all the blood clots inside.

"Fallen! Do you remember me? Ah!"

"……Well"
