After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

There are all kinds of magic in this world, but resurrecting the dead is still an absolute forbidden zone and a difficult problem, often accompanied by very terrible side effects.

The Lich, currently one of the thirteen leaders, and the undead clan he commands are said to be the product of a serious failure in a resurrection ritual.

And like what the butler Rufus did in the previous incident, turning the corpse into a puppet and then calling back the soul of the deceased to possess it is a borderline act and is not a true resurrection.

Of course Aize knew all this.

So he considered another possibility:

"So, is there a possibility that she wasn't dead from the beginning?"

The witch crossed her arms and tilted her head:

"Not dead?"

"Well, she's not dead, but something happened to her. For example, the doctor lied and said that resuscitation was ineffective, but in fact, he took her while she was dying and conducted experiments on her, transforming her into her current state."

Such speculation is obviously more in line with the reality of this world than the resurrection of the dead.

That's why Aize asked for information about the clinic at the end of the conversation so that he could take further action.

But speculation is just speculation after all and must be verified.

Therefore, Aize immediately sent Constantine to the Adventurer's Cemetery to check the situation.

As long as no relevant burial traces are found there, the suspicion of the clinic can be confirmed, and all the mysteries of the royal capital incident will disappear.

Thinking of this, Aize sighed softly and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

At this moment, the door of the workshop was pushed open and Constantine came back in a hurry.

Aize was so anxious that he rushed over to meet him:

"How is it? Have you found any clues?"

"Have!"

The gray-haired mercenary nodded vigorously.

This made Aize's expression freeze instantly:

"...Tell me again, do you have any clues?"

"Yes, there is!"

The gray-haired mercenary nodded again and took out a ledger:

"This is the account book of the gravekeeper at the Adventurer's Cemetery. According to the records above, a female adventurer was indeed buried during those days. I checked the corresponding tomb and found signs of secondary excavation. It must have been dug up after the burial."

"...Isn't that possible?"

After taking the account book and checking it repeatedly to make sure it was correct, Aize muttered in a daze.

There are indeed records of burials.

This means that this girl really died once.

Aize's guess was overturned.

Doesn't that mean that, as a half-blood, she performed a true and uncompromising resurrection of the dead, a feat perhaps unprecedented in the history of this world?

Chapter 101 Thinking too much

According to Charlotte's previous inference, the reason why this adventurer girl became a half-vampire today was due to the blood plague that is now raging in the royal capital.

Although vampires have super regenerative abilities, that is due to their extremely special life form, which makes it difficult for them to die completely, and they do not have the ability to be resurrected in the true sense.

Not to mention converting dead humans into half-bloods and then resurrecting them, such examples are unheard of in history.

Is it possible that this is similar to the technology used by the witch clan, and it is not a true resurrection, but a phenomenon similar to resurrection?

Aize cast a questioning look at Villian, who understood what he meant and immediately began the spell, carefully examining the corpse in front of her again.

After a moment, the witch raised her head, spread her hands, and her face was full of helplessness.

It seems that there is no harvest.

The atmosphere in the workshop also fell into silence.

After a while of hesitation, Aize raised his head first, breaking the silence in the room:

"It's better not to jump to conclusions. After all, the cemetery records could be forged. Just to be safe, let's do some more research."

"what do you mean?"

"Constantine, go to the cemetery and search it carefully to see if there are any other clues. I will take people to search the clinic to see if anyone has tampered with it."

"As you command!"

The gray-haired knight nodded and left the workshop.

Adventurer's Cemetery, located outside the city.

For this investigation mission, Constantine not only had to pass through the dangerous infected area, but also had to carefully avoid the surveillance and interference of part of the Duke's troops.

Fortunately, Constantine's hiding ability is enough to deal with it, but it will take a lot of time, so he must set off quickly.

Villian took a deep breath and slapped her cheeks hard, recovering from the shock of the resurrection.

"Then, while you guys go investigate, I'll examine the body again to see if there are any other signs of the technique."

"Okay, please."

The action begins again.

Aize led a team of knights to surround the target clinic and conducted a thorough search. Everyone, including the doctor who treated the adventurer, was strictly questioned.

But still no clues were found.

This means that the theory that the clinic faked the death has failed.

The doctor's testimony also confirmed that the adventurer girl had indeed died once.

There was no gain, so I had to return to the workshop empty-handed.

Villian, who stayed there, spent several more hours, exhausting her rich knowledge as a great witch, trying to find something useful.

However, contrary to expectations, no trace of any pseudo-resurrection ritual was confirmed.

Constantine came back later and did not find anything new after an investigation.

Even when he was sneaking, he was scratched by a blood slave hiding in the dark and suffered some minor injuries. Aize sent him for treatment.

Anyway, after most of the day's trouble, the outrageous situation of resurrection from the dead was completely confirmed, and there was no room for doubt.

This also brought the investigation back into a dead end.

"By the way..."

After staring at each other for a few minutes, Aize suddenly remembered something and asked:

"In the existing magical system, there is no technique that can truly resurrect the dead. Is this certain?"

"Absolutely sure."

Miss Witch nodded.

"Then, is there a possibility that what resurrected her was something that doesn't exist in the modern magic system?"

As Aize spoke, he leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice a few degrees:

"For example, the ancient ritual recorded on that damaged stone tablet, the so-called healing, isn't actually a cure, but a resurrection that's similar to a cure. Is that possible?"

Aize's inference came from his common sense.

In various games, novels, and other fictional works that we encounter in the original world, resurrection-related skills are often tied to professions or roles such as healers and priests.

After all, there are similarities in nature.

Is it possible that the situation is the same in this world?

This inference made Villian's eyes light up.

"The ultimate form of healing is resurrection—something like that was popular for a while, and witches a hundred years ago also conducted research in this area."

"The results of it?"

"It failed, and the theory was deemed false and sealed, with no further development. Current research on resurrection techniques focuses primarily on concepts related to resurrection, or directly affecting the soul. I've also attempted related research before... No, sorry."

Realizing she had strayed from the topic, Violet quickly stopped talking and looked away a little embarrassedly.

一

I get excited when talking about academic topics, and then I can't help but show off and go into details.

Although she is a fake tool, her performance is like that of a real witch.

"In short, what you said is indeed a possibility, but I can't guarantee it. Moreover, if it is really the effect of the ancient magic, that magic has been combined with the blood plague. Why didn't the blood slaves who were killed be resurrected?"

Indeed, this still cannot explain what is happening in the capital right now.

Moreover, after confirming that the technique has the ability to resurrect, the motives of the mastermind behind it are even more worthy of vigilance.

The girl in front of him was just a new adventurer whose name was not even remembered. She couldn't possibly be the other party's main target of resurrection.

It looks like an experiment no matter how you look at it.

If she's not the real target of the resurrection, then who is?

Furthermore, since she was indeed resurrected, it meant the experiment was successful. Why didn't we see the person who went to so much trouble to resurrect her?

Makes no sense.

Aize fell into thought again.

But soon, he realized that he could not come to any conclusion in a short time, so he interrupted his thoughts and looked out the window.

Outside, the sun was setting. I had been busy for almost the entire day since I came back in the morning.

The harvest has been great, there is no need to rush to draw conclusions at this moment.

After all, there was still an agreed task waiting for him to do.

----------

After Aize left in the morning and Charlotte arranged everything, she stood in front of the half-ruined mansion with her arms folded and a serious face.

Just to wait for Aize to send someone to pick him up as soon as possible.

For this, he didn't even get any sleep, which was almost like staying up all night for the vampires who were active at night and dormant during the day.

As a result, from morning to noon, noon to afternoon, and afternoon to the sun gradually setting.

As a vampire, Charlotte had been exposed to the sun for a whole day. Her brain and blood were almost boiling and even carbonized, but the person she was waiting for did not show up.

"So slow, so slow! What on earth is that guy doing? Making me wait for so long!"

The vampire girl became more and more irritable, and her toes kept tapping the ground.

Even his lips were bitten by the canine teeth and bled - although they healed almost instantly.

The housekeeper dressed Laura and stood beside her with a parasol.

The helpless expression on his face grew almost in sync with his master's irritability.

"Master, Master Aize said he would come pick you up once everything was arranged, but he didn't say it had to be today?"

"Woo..."

Charlotte's expression twitched.

This is the truth, and Miss True Ancestor herself is of course well aware of it.

But how to say it.

Just... even though I know rationally that this is unnecessary, emotionally I just feel that even if it's just one second earlier, I can't help but wait here.

I am embarrassed to say this out loud.

I could only say stubbornly with cold sweat:

"It doesn't matter when he comes! No matter when he comes, as long as he comes to greet me, I have to wait. Otherwise, wouldn't that be too rude?"

What the hell, this is bullshit—of course Laura didn't dare to really show this attitude.

I could only wipe the cold sweat silently, speechless, and change direction:
