Chapter 135: Taboo Human Alchemy
"What happened?"
Hearing Ye Tong's sound from the castle was a little strange. Xingsha and the others looked at each other, their eyes flashing with a suspicious color. Xingsha's face even had a faint look of fear, and they leaned against Mumi.
At this moment, the sky to the west had turned into a deep dark red condensed by blood. Although the entire castle was shining with the light of elemental flames, the strong contrast between the colors inside and outside the huge stone windows gave the atmosphere a strange smell.
Lin Fan was also worried that Ye Tong had encountered any danger, so he said to the people in the warehouse: "You stay here, Tarr, you can sort out the things in the warehouse, bring the valuables with you first, and wait for us to leave here."
"Sir Lin Fan, don't worry."
Taal's dark face still had an excitement blush. He glanced at the stuffed warehouse and looked at Lin Fan, with a bright smile on his face: "I just found more than a dozen wild beasts behind the castle. We can move everything in the warehouse back to the village."
“This is the best.”
Lin Fan didn't want to leave the things here for the werewolf. After giving a few instructions, the worried voice of Jaime and the others turned around and walked towards the direction where Ye Tong's voice came.
Blood Tooth Castle has three floors in total, and there is a spiral staircase paved with cyan rocks in the middle of the hall.
Although the first floor of the castle was brightly lit, the second and third floors were pitch black. Lin Fan stood in the hall on the first floor, looked up at the rotating stone staircase extending into the darkness. The moment he stepped on the stone staircase with his right foot, two orange-red elemental flames immediately jumped around him.
Da da...
The deep sound of footsteps falling on the rocks kept echoing in the empty castle, and the atmosphere made people feel a little weird.
Lin Fan used his mental power to feel the surrounding environment, and with the light of elemental flames, he soon arrived at the second floor of the castle. On both sides were pitch-black corridors, and a serene sound came from the end of the corridor on the left.
"Yetong?"
Lin Fan asked in the direction where the voice came.
"I'm here, brother-in-law. Come quickly!"
Ye Tong's cheerful voice floated over, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the corridor on the left.
There are many large and small stone chambers on this floor. You can see the exquisite furnishings inside, but nothing valuable.
Lin Fan came all the way to the innermost stone room of the corridor on the left.
The iron-covered edge was covered with a heavy werewolf style, and Lin Fan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Um?"
As soon as his left foot stepped into the room, Lin Fan stopped, his pupils shrank, and his muscles were tense like steel.
Directly opposite the door, there was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with her flowing black hair and frost-like skin. She was wearing a white pleated floral dress and a flower headdress on her head. Her facial features were delicate, like blooming lilies...
At first glance, this is definitely a perfect girl, and there seems to be no flaw on her body, just like a porcelain doll placed in a shop window.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the child has slight stitching marks on his hands and feet. If you notice her pupils again, this picture that should be a beautiful scene will shatter! The cold air flows through the blood of the body!
The pupils in those beautiful big eyes are pure white with a breath of death!
And these strange eyes stared straight at Lin Fan!
Buzz!
A flash of fire. Lin Fan reflected and summoned a dark red fireball emitting hot and high temperature. If Ye Tong's voice had not sounded at the right time, Lin Fan would have thrown the fireball out.
"Brother-in-law, don't be nervous, there is no danger here."
As the two pupils, which were emitting glazed colors in the dark, Ye Tong jumped out of the dark room and walked directly to the strange girl with the breath of death. He reached out and picked up the girl's smooth chin. He looked back at Lin Fan and smiled with a prank, "I was shocked when I first came in. I didn't expect that the Blood-Tooth Baron had such an evil hobby."
Lin Fan was relieved when he saw Ye Tong's lively face. The moment he opened the door, he was really shocked.
The mental power told him that there were obviously no living creatures behind the stone gate, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw such a picture. He was already very calm when he didn't directly knock out the fireball.
"Evil hobby? What is that?" Lin Fan walked to Ye Tong and asked, looking at the girl doll next to him who looked like a real person.
He originally thought that the girl was just a very realistic doll, but after getting closer, he realized that this seemed to be the case.
Except for the slits and pure white pupils, the skin in the other parts was full of a strange texture, and the feeling was like... a real person!
Lin Fan shook his head, put aside this ridiculous idea, and smiled bitterly in his eyes. If this was a real person, wouldn’t it be a corpse standing here? Or an exaggeratedly beautiful corpse.
Lin Fan was denying his strange thoughts, but Ye Tong beside him thrust into the room next to him and said, "Brother-in-law, you'd better see for yourself."
Lin Fan frowned, summoned several elemental flames and flew to every corner of the room.
Gu Long.
The moment the entire room was illuminated by elemental flames, a sound of swallowing saliva was clearly heard in Lin Fan's throat.
"What's this……"
Lin Fan looked at the picture in front of him and said in a daze.
There were many dolls in the room like the little girls around me, many of which were young children of fifteen or sixteen, and they all looked very realistic. What made Lin Fan so stunned was not these dolls, but the huge stone platform in the center of the room.
The stone platform is three meters wide and ten meters long, with various cold utensils placed on it. In several transparent crystal containers, a few white things are soaked in the unknown light green liquid. When you look closely, they are all human hands and feet...
Lin Fan only took a look and then withdrew his gaze. Something seemed to be rolling in his heart.
Even though he had already solved so many werewolfs with his own hands, he still couldn't look at such a strange scene. Moreover, his steps were involuntarily away from the doll beside him.
If you guess well, these dolls...
Ye Tong's face became serious at this moment and said, "Brother-in-law has discovered it, these are not dolls, they were all living people! I'm afraid they were human children robbed from the nearby human village."
Lin Fan looked up at the pure white pupils. The already rigid beautiful face seemed to be smiling at him.
The muscles on the corner of Lin Fan's mouth hopped a few times, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did he do this!"
Ye Tong looked at Lin Fan, a hint of regret appeared in his amber pupils, and pondered: "In addition to the personal reasons of the Blood-Tooth Baron, I guess this may be related to alchemy."
"Alchemy?" Lin Fan looked at Ye Tong in shock. He couldn't imagine what the picture in front of him had to do with alchemy.
Ye Tong nodded, and a trace of solemnity appeared in the middle of his brow: "This is also my guess. Have you seen those solutions? It should be an ancient alchemy formula that can keep the flesh and blood from rotting and keep it alive. That's why these dolls are so realistic."
"When I was an adventurer, I once walked with an original sheep alchemist. He mentioned that alchemy can not only destroy, but also create. It gives ordinary people powerful abilities, and even directly creates powerful lives!"
"Because of its powerful power, human alchemy was extremely prosperous at that time, and even created many great alchemy formulas. Later, a genius alchemist wanted to resurrect his child who died by an accident. However, he failed and caused extremely serious consequences. This consequence even caused the destruction of two empires that were once prosperous. From then on, knowledge in this area was completely sealed and gradually forgotten in history. The alchemy about intelligent life itself also became a taboo technique. Only a very few people were still secretly continuing... I didn't expect to see it here today."
After Ye Tong finished speaking, she sighed, "It's a pity that I searched the entire castle, and there were no other clues except these things. I'm afraid the body of the Blood-Tooth Baron turned into ashes."
Lin Fan was already shocked and could not speak, even though this was a world with incredible magical power. The idea of resurrection was too crazy.
Even cloning in modern technology is just a physical copy, and the word resurrection involves a deeper soul!
If it weren't for the treatment of the blood-toothed Baron turned into ashes, Lin Fan would have really wanted to see this mysterious human alchemy.
Seeing Lin Fan silent, Ye Tong thought Lin Fan was still feeling depressed for these dolls, so she suddenly reached out and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't be unhappy, you have avenged them. Come here quickly, this may be helpful to us in the future."
Lin Fan looked at Ye Tong's cheerful back and didn't think about the alchemy of human body. He was careful not to meet those dolls, and followed Ye Tong to the wooden table in the innermost part of the room.
There was a piece of parchment full of words on the wooden table. Lin Fan swept the contents on the parchment and his eyes flashed.
The parchment was a letter written by Baron Blood Tooth, and it was written last night.
The content of the letter is that Blood Tooth Castle was threatened by a human mage. The Blood Tooth Baron seeks help from the brother Magic Tooth, the capital of the Luna Empire, Dark Blood City, and hopes that a fortune teller named Angeli will come to Blood Tooth Castle...
Needless to think about it, the human mage who threatened Blood Tooth Castle must be himself. According to the time when the letter was completed, it should be the night that Beth went to Blood Tooth Castle, so the letter was not sent out.
Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little glad when he looked at the contents of the letter.
The fortune teller is a special profession in the prophecy department. He can use special spells such as the Eye of Truth, Divination, and Exploration Touch to make predictions or explorations under specific conditions.
If the fortune teller named Angeli came to Blood Tooth Castle, he would definitely be able to find out himself through some clues! By then, the situation would definitely be much worse than today. Compared to the situation outside of his own control, Lin Fan prefers the feeling of everything under his own control.
"Ye Tong, it seems you have rescued me once this time." Lin Fan said withdrew his gaze.
Ye Tong's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Really? Brother-in-law, are you thanking me? Then I will have to eat hot pot when I go back! And I want three single-horned sheep, no! It's four!" Ye Tong raised four fingers and said seriously.
Lin Fan felt that he had done something wrong. He looked up and saw Ye Tong holding an animal skin that looked like a spell scroll in his hand. He changed the topic: "Ye Tong, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Is this?"
Ye Tong didn't notice that Lin Fan deliberately changed the subject, handed the animal skin to Lin Fan, revealing two small tiger teeth, and said excitedly: "This is the alchemy formula I found in the bedroom of the Blood-Tooth Baron. Brother-in-law, look at this." As he said that, Ye Tong handed the alchemy formula to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took the alchemy formula and frowned and looked at Ye Tong and said, "Baron Blood Tooth? Where did you find this thing?" He had been to Baron Blood Tooth's bedroom just now, and there was no valuable discovery.
Ye Tong said casually: "It's under the fourth blue stone brick on the left under his bed."
Lin Fan looked at Ye Tong, who looked for granted, and swallowed: "That kind of place? How did you find it?"
Ye Tong noticed the surprise in Lin Fan's eyes. A glass-like color bloomed in his amber pupils, and pointed to his nose proudly: "Gee, be surprised? Apart from being a shadow swordsman, my strongest ability is to find all kinds of hidden treasures. Speaking of which, I can find the silver coins hidden by Beth when I was a child, and then steal it..."
Looking at Ye Tong's proud self-narration, Lin Fan reminded himself in his heart that he must be careful to store his things in the future. Then, his eyes fell on the alchemy recipe in his hand.
Even the magic gold is placed casually in the warehouse, but this alchemy formula is carefully stored in the inconspicuous place under the bed. What kind of formula will it be?
With such expectations, Lin Fan began to read the introduction of the alchemy formula...
Chapter completed!
