People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"Go to sleep."

These two simple words contained the magic of the sheep and instantly invaded Inès's mind.

His eyes lost focus instantly, and his tall body fell into the arms of Hedley who was leaning over.

"She'll probably sleep for about eight hours. The gentle sheep will soothe her wounded soul and help her forget what she just saw. Remember to prepare some easy-to-eat food, preferably..."

boom!

He raised his foot from behind and kicked W, who was approaching for a sneak attack, back into the snow. The blue-purple magic power expanded and hit her back. The next moment, W was floating in the air. No matter how she struggled, she could not touch the ground. In the end, she could only curse at Fang Zhou in the air.

"It's best to eat something that doesn't require much chewing, such as boiled potatoes. Of course, meat porridge is the best."

Looking back at Hedley, Fang Ark took out the "Demon's Advent Calendar" from his coat again and held it in his arms, like a devout Lateran holding a scripture.

"Also, please don't ask her what she saw. I believe you know what you should know and what you shouldn't know, right, Hedley."

After a few words, Hedley, who had confirmed the other party's identity, nodded with difficulty, and then looked at W who was still flying in the air.

"As for this little girl, I will teach her how to control her temper. Don't worry, I won't hurt her. I promise you that she will return to your camp intact in the end."

After watching Hedley leave, Fang Ark sighed as too many infected people gathered around to watch the fun, and then returned to Bozhukas to stand in front of them.

"How about we go somewhere quiet first? There are too many people here, Bodracasti. I understand you have questions, and I'll answer them. But I didn't expect to run into an old friend here."

"Who the hell is your old friend? Damn it, let me go... Wuuuuuuuu!"

Rocks and soil rose from the ground and turned into something like a muzzle to seal W's mouth, forcing the latter to stare at Fang Zhou angrily but only make low humming sounds.

"Although your outspokenness makes me feel that you are far superior to that old lynx, Miss Sarkaz, who has a rather tactless mouth, would be better off keeping quiet for a while. I want to finish my work first. After all, Miss Red Dragon's commission is only the last step away."

Chapter 11: Dark Magic

Back to the central tent, Alina's body was still lying there quietly.

W was bound by the rocks into a ball and flew in the sky, rolling here and there, but the murderous look he gave Fang Zhou never changed.

It's like the old metaphor, if looks could really hurt, Fang Zhou would have been chopped into pieces by now.

"Sure enough, we still need to consider repairing the body."

Looking at the missing hands and feet on Alina's body, Fang Zhou rubbed his chin.

"Can it be repaired?"

Alina floated beside the Ark, and Tallulah looked at Alina's mutilated body with a gloomy expression.

Frost Star looked at Alina's soul beside Fang Zhou with curiosity. When the chaos just ended, she had already smeared the so-called tears of the female beast of burden on her eyelids. The whole person looked like she had applied a layer of light blue eye shadow, adding a different layer of charm to Miss White Rabbit.

"If you want to use black magic to repair a damaged body, you need an equal sacrifice, which means exchanging your body for another."

As Fang Zhou spoke, he took out a jar containing blood-colored liquid and a jar containing silver-white liquid.

It was blood, and the bloody smell made Froststar and Tallulah frown.

"Black barking beast's (black dog's) blood and mercury, excellent magical materials. Wait a moment."

The blue-purple magic power carried the blood and mercury together, and then fell to the ground and began to draw a complicated magic circle. As the magic circle was drawn, Bozhukasti first felt something was wrong in the air.

An evil force is gathering. That force is sinister and dark, and the wind that rises when it surges is filled with the smell of decay.

That is undoubtedly evil, an inherently evil force.

The power gathered in the magic array, and the light red magic array began to glow. An indescribable power rose from the magic array. It was the power that had gathered in it before, but it seemed that after being filtered by the magic array, the evil feeling in it had disappeared a lot.

"The preliminary preparations have been completed. Now we need to repair the body. There's no way to find a sacrifice that matches Miss Alina right now, but there's no need to rush. Once we find one, we can repair it. I'll measure the size first and make a mechanical prosthesis for Miss Alina. Miss Alina should not mind me touching your limbs."

Having said that, Fang Zhou looked at Alina and shook his head, then stepped forward and gently lifted Alina's still intact arm, and then looked at the only remaining leg.

Red light overflowed from the fingers, turning into a fan-shaped beam that scanned every corner of Alina's body. It then generated Alina's body data and transmitted it into Ark's brain, generating the corresponding model parameters of the left hand and left leg based on this data.

The red light's diffusion range expanded, covering the entire palm from the fingers.

Fang Zhou sat cross-legged on the ground, red light in the form of lines constantly interweaving and flowing in his hands, and finally printed out of thin air mechanical legs and forearms covered with azure circuits.

"Sculpting and reconstruction techniques, so precise..."

Bozhukas marveled at the precision of the mechanical prosthesis in Fang Zhou's hand. He classified what Fang Zhou displayed as Originium skills. After all, even a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time would first turn to something he was familiar with when faced with a certain thing. He could not have imagined that there existed a void 3D printing in this world that was made of pure technology without the need for material materials.

"The next step is installation. This prosthesis is not difficult to install. Compared to previous generations, it doesn't even require manual intervention to connect the bones and nerves."

The severed limb, which no longer bleeds, is joined to the mechanical prosthesis, and the versatile product of nanomechanical technology begins to independently construct the connection between the machine and flesh.

Bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves... Even if the person in front of him is a corpse that will no longer be alive, the mechanical prosthesis still completes its task perfectly.

The arms and legs were replaced by machines, and then a white translucent sublimation key reappeared in Fang Ark's palm. The colorful patterns on it were difficult to see in the dim environment, but it could be vaguely distinguished that it was an Elafia woman.

"Alina!"

The sound of the sublimation key being activated woke up Frost Star and Tallulah, who were startled by the previous series of operations.

Then they saw Fang Ark attach the sublimation key to the mechanical prosthesis on the corpse. The flesh-colored skin covered the mechanical structure in an instant. In just a few seconds, the traces of the mechanical prosthesis disappeared. Alina's body became complete again, and there was no trace of the mechanical structure at all.

"That's good. Apparently, Alina's body won't show any signs of abnormality. The mechanical prosthesis won't affect your daily life. Based on the biological parameters in the Sublimation Key, your muscle strength will be exactly the same as your previous body. But if you're not satisfied, you can adjust it yourself later based on the data in the Sublimation Key and refit it."

Fang Zhou said this to Alina's soul, then resumed his cross-legged sitting position, his eyes locked on the magic circle below Alina. The corrupt wind in the air seemed to surge again and merge into the magic circle.

Seeing what Ark had just done and the hope in Talulah's eyes, W, who was still in the Void Cricket Pupa in the sky, seemed to realize what was about to happen here. His eyes widened and he stared at Alina in the center of the magic circle.

"Agamimu Agamichiwa, Agamimu Agamichiwa, Agamimu Agamichiwa."

An obscure spell flowed out of Fang Zhou's mouth and reached everyone's ears, accompanied by the flickering candlelight, the blood in the air, and the corpse in the center of the magic circle.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a cult sermon.

However, as Fang Zhou chanted the spell, the power that was initially absorbed in the magic array began to flow into Alina's body, and the power that flowed in later was also transformed into Alina's body. Alina's soul in mid-air began to feel a suction force coming from that body. It felt like the moment she had just died, when the strange black hole wanted to pull her away.

"Go back to your own body."

Fang Zhou looked at Alina and spoke, and the latter immediately followed the attraction and drilled into his body.

The originally lifeless body began to fill up visibly, and the face that barely avoided looking dead under the reflection of the blood began to come alive.

But the ceremony was not over yet, and the power had not stopped until nearly two minutes later, the air stirred by the power barely stabilized. W, who had been spinning in circles in the air for two minutes due to the turbulent gas flow, finally stopped at this time. The mosquito coils in his eyes disappeared along with the shaking of his head, and he looked intently at Alina in the center of the magic circle.

"Success?"

Tallulah asked.

"Don't say such uncertain things at this time. It's unlucky."

Fang Zhou stood up from the ground and looked at Alina who was still lying motionless on the blanket. He clapped his hands twice. The crisp sound was like an alarm clock in the early morning, clear and sharp, awakening people's attention.

"wake up."

The gray eyes opened the moment the last syllable fell, empty and lifeless, and then filled with emotion in an instant.

Alina rolled her eyes and looked at Ark and Tallulah standing in front of her.

“a~a~”

He opened his mouth to say something but only mumbled words came out.

"Don't worry, you just returned to your body and your body has just recovered. It still needs some time to adapt. I'll do it."

Stepping into the dim magic circle, Fang Zhou helped up Alina, whose body was still a little weak. The magic power of the dog and the sheep seeped into her body, and the body, which was still in the process of adapting to the soul, immediately became smooth. At the same time, Alina felt her body become full, and no longer felt weak as before.

"That's...that's good."

Alina slowly raised her hand and looked at her palm, her silver-gray eyes filled with surprise.

"Alina!"

Before the little deer could feel his body again, the red dragon pounced on him, hugged his best friend in a bear hug, and rubbed his face tightly against Alina's.

"Wait, Tallulah, Mr. Ark, Miss Froststar, and Mr. Bozhukas are still watching."

"Great, you're alive!"

"Don't cry, um, I'm alive now, so there's no need to cry. Oh, my nose is running."

Standing next to Bozhukas again, Fangzhou met Froststar's gaze.

"how did you do it?"

Although there was still a look of distrust in the white rabbit's eyes, curiosity now prevailed.

"There's no need to be so surprised, beautiful lady. It's just some simple, dark magic."

Black magic.

Frost Star muttered silently in her heart.

At the same time, W, who witnessed everything, was also repeating this term in his mind.

Chapter 12 Royal Chimera

Resurrection, for some Terrans who are still stuck in common sense, is a concept that only exists in fairy tales, myths or fantasy novels. How could there be a power in the real world that can awaken the dead?

However, only those who know the secrets understand that resurrection is not impossible on the continent of Terra.

Whether it is Draco's life fire that can make corpses stand up again, or some of Dayan's evil magic that can manipulate corpses, they can be regarded as semi-finished products of the resurrection method. They are already standing at the door of the resurrection method, but they do not have the stepping stone to completely complete this magic of reversing death.

That is the soul.

The concept of soul exists on Terra, which is an aggregate of the consciousness of living beings.

If the scattered soul cannot be placed back into the original container, then even if the corpse is restored and given life, it will ultimately be nothing more than a puppet that is easier to manipulate.

As far as Ark knows, the only one who can perfectly perform the art of resurrection and even operate on the soul level is the Absolver of Sakazili.

They resurrected Theresa's body and imprisoned her soul in the collective consciousness of the Sarkaz, allowing the collective consciousness of the Sarkaz to control the "Demon King" as the soul.

Alina's resurrection not only shocked Frost Star, but also shocked W who was still pretending to be an astronaut and flying in the sky.

I've memorized Ark's sequence of actions. Just following his instructions will revive me, right? Does that mean I can...

There was a glimmer of hope in W's eyes, a light he had never seen before.

"Give up that stupid idea of ​​yours, W."

Feeling the emotional fluctuations of the American cockroach in the sky, Fang Zhou had no idea what W was thinking after he had just witnessed a performance beyond ordinary people's cognition.

"What did you say, you son of a bitch."

"Your mouth is as foul as ever, but your straightforward nature is a rare virtue in this land."

"Huh? Are you crazy?"

With a wave of his hand, a large ball of earth wrapped with W fell from the sky.

As soon as Leng Ding landed on the ground, the round structure of the big earth ball made W become a Sarkaz tumbler, swinging back and forth on the ground. At the same time, the bumps also made W speak wittily and send constant greetings to Fang Zhou's family.

boom!

The heavy hand knife chopped down on W's head, and the force created a small hole in the ground to catch the dirt ball and stop it from swinging, and also temporarily quieted W's mouth. However, in order to prevent this guy from continuing to speak wittily after waking up, Fang Zhou used Di Kui's ability to control earth and rocks to put a new muzzle on W.

"Work is over, so now it's Q&A time. Feel free to ask any questions you have. My appearance was so sudden, and these things have, to some extent, exceeded your expectations. You must have a lot of questions in your mind. Ask them, and I will answer the ones I can. After all, winning you over is part of my plan."

Fang Ark made it very clear and also expressed his attitude towards the Integration Movement.

To win over means that he needs to change the attitude of the integration movement towards him from the current hostility, vigilance, coldness and neutrality to friendliness.

To a certain extent, he will definitely show goodwill to the integration movement and make his position clear.

"First of all, who are you?"

Bozhukas was the first to start. Now Talulah was still immersed in the joy of her friend's resurrection. Froststar was waiting for his attitude. If W woke up, he would probably still speak wittily, so he had to be the first to speak out.

"I'm sure W's previous words have made you, or rather you, Bodracasti, understand a little. Yes, I once served the former 'Demon Lord' Theresa, but I prefer to call it a partnership."

Fang Ark's words caused a commotion on Bozhukas' part.

Fang Zhou admitted that he had stayed with that prince, which meant that W's information was credible. So, the person W mentioned was the murderer who killed the prince a year ago...

"So you said you were looking for the 'Demon King'..."

Frost Star stood beside Bozhukas and looked at Fang Ark. Unfortunately, because of the mask, Frost Star could not see Fang Ark's expression and could not tell whether he was lying.

"Because Theresa is no longer the holder of the Demon King, at least not yet."

Bozhukas' eyes suddenly flickered.

He caught another layer of information in Fang Ark's words.
