Chapter 36 Learning Forbidden Art
"Mentor." Starr stroked Sadek's chest respectfully and shouted. Are you looking for me?
Sadek turned his head and stopped his life and looked over. A trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth quickly pulled up a smile. Cole followed behind him and closed the heavy door casually.
"Didn't you say that you were going to learn 'human body refining' with me today?" Sadek smiled cheerfully. Now that we're here, let's get started.
"Mentor..." Star doesn't know what to say. Cole is not..."
"Are you dead?" Sadek waved to Cole, who was standing in front of the door, and the dead body with the same face as Star's only friend came over. Yes, nothing wrong. He is indeed dead. This is the mystery of 'human body refining'. It can not only restore your lost arms, but also bring back to life your dead relatives.
Sadek smiled at Star's right hand huddled in his sleeve.
Resurrect people? Damn, you're obviously just making a corpse to fool others. Star cursed fiercely in his heart.
Sadek's words are okay to deceive the country bumpkin who have never seen the world, but there is no way to come to Meng Stana. Even if the person in front of him looks like Cole, it's just a piece of broken corpses.
Anger spreads in my heart.
"Are you very happy to see your old friend?" Sadek said with a smile, "This is my surprise for you. I hope you like it."
Star narrowed his eyes, and this butcher who wanted to play with other people's hearts was about to be cut off. But Star still pretended to be shocked, but quickly softened his face. Tutor, I thought he was just looking better. But I didn't expect that he was the product of 'human refining'! To be honest, when I saw him for the first time, I really thought it was Cole.
Star bit the two words to death heavily, with a look of regret on his face.
"After you learn the complete 'human refining technique', you can summon those who have died at any time. This is much better than undead magic. At least you won't talk to a bone.
"Complete? Isn't this a complete 'human refining technique'? Star frowned.
"An adult weighs 150 pounds. The body contains about 37 liters of water, 24 kilograms of toner, five liters of ammonia, three kilograms of lime and one kilogram of phosphorus. Sadek looked at Star with a happy smile, "including saltpeter, sulfur, fluorine, silicon, iron, and an appropriate amount of fifteen elements."
Star's eyes looked straight at Sadek's thumb, and his two eyes were like grasshoppers, biting the 'Sage Stone' made of spotted fingers on Sadek's hand. Sadek wore two wrenches on the thumb of his right hand, and there was a little white in the blood red, which looked like blood and jade, but there was an evil spirit all the time. There is no noble style, but there is a gloomy everywhere.
"Mentor, please forgive me for taking the liberty." Star couldn't help interrupting the complacent Sadek. Is human manufacturing so simple? If so, then refining the human body will not become a taboo. Although this is very in line with the 'equivalent exchange' principle of alchemy, I always feel that something is missing.
Star is very puzzled. The world is not as ignorant of the components of the human body as he imagined. For some elements that must be known by scientific means, alchemists can master these rare knowledge well. If this is the case, then it should have developed wildly when 'human refining' just emerged 300 years ago. Instead of being banned, even the alchemists involved in the forbidden spell will be slaughtered mercilessly!
"There is really nothing wrong with the composition of the human body. You don't even have a question about the amount of the dose. Instead, you ask another question." Sadek couldn't help nodding, "A good alchemist needs this determination to explore and question authority. You're right. It's just the amount needed by an adult's 'body structure'.
Sadek couldn't help but bite the words 'body structure'. Star couldn't help taking a cold breath. What are the raw materials needed for the human body to be refined?
"The soul!"
"The soul?" Star frowned.
"Remember when I told you, what is the most amazing thing in the world?" Sadek pretended to be profound and asked.
Star suddenly remembered that Sadek once told himself when he learned to make flesh and blood puppets a month ago. The most amazing thing in the world is life, which can also be said to be the soul. Even the omnipotent alchemist can't analyze his soul thoroughly.
I see, Star nodded. The materials that Sadek mentioned are just the weight needed to make an adult's body. Even if it is made, it is just an inanimate puppet. But in this way, I still can't explain my doubts. According to what Sadek said, he can't create a soul, so who is Cole standing in front of him?
"This is also the role of the 'stone of the sage'." Sadek proudly held the wrench in his hand. I don't know how many of the mansions in this world are real. But death does exist. After all people die, their souls will return to the arms of death.
Death! Star was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Death is a greedy mansion. When it comes to the soul in his arms, you can only exchange the things that Death has. The most common thing is to barter!" Sadek's scepter knocked on the floor, "But few people on this continent will exchange their souls for it in order to take their souls from death."
"Is that why there is the 'Sage' Stone'?" Star's heart jumped.
At first, Star was still doubting whether what Sadek said about death was true. But now it seems that there is such a thing. Is there really a death? Star squeezed his swollen temples doubtfully. However, the law of 'equivalence exchange' does not seem to be so groundless. Perhaps it has been rumored for more than a hundred years that will make this matter more rigid.
But who is the man who has the same name as Death?
He is familiar with the theory of the creation of the 'Sage Stone' and has an incomparable understanding of all kinds of knowledge of alchemy. What you say casually can also become the answer to the secret language of 'Hradak Magic Box'. If he is a Rhine running on the grassland, then Dihas is a deep and vast ocean for him. Without the ability to swim in the sea, you won't know the vastness of the ocean at all.
"Yes, the 'stone of the sage' exists for the law of 'equivalent exchange'." Sadek nodded, "But the law of exchange is limited to alchemists. Only alchemists can trade with Death through this law. But other religions on the mainland believe that trading with the mansion is a kind of blasphemy. That's why they crazily erase the existence of the 'Stone of the Sage'.
In this way, Star fully understood the role of the 'Sage Stone'. This stone was originally a melting pot made from human bodies and souls. It is still a loss-making business for alchemists to exchange it for death.
Star's mind moved and asked. Then mentors, undead magic and light magic all have magic that can bring people back to life. So why don't you let those believers go crazy?"
"Every soul of death will return to the arms of death. There are millions of human beings in the whole Skilia Empire. Can death manage so many souls? As long as all souls do not disappear, the use of magic can also bring people back to life. It's just that you don't have to say the same!" Sadek narrowed his eyes and said, "The card magician also has that kind of spell to resurrect, but it's so easy."
Star nodded. So if you want the human body to be refined, is it enough to meet these conditions?
"No, 'equivalence exchange' is not so easy. The depth of human refining is not so easy, so that all alchemists can become a divine mansion. We can't understand the broad essence of life. Even Glade Howard, who was the first to get the 'Sage' Stone', would not have such a profound theory. Sadek smiled and said, "Seven days later, I'm going to prepare a large-scale 'human refining' experiment. At that time, I will let all the servants in the castle come. Naturally, you will be an apprentice. At that time, you will understand how to carry out the experiment.
"Mentor, that's my pleasure!" Star said respectfully.
