Tome of Blood

Nice shook his head blankly, with an innocent look on his face.

The girl glanced at it, and said lightly:

"To be honest, I don't care about your background, nor do I care about your teacher's succession."

"I heard that the mages of the Nicholas school have studied some forbidden spells very deeply, and even mastered the magic that can revive the dead..."

Having said that, the girl's eyes fell on Nice, her scarlet pupils were full of inquiry:

"I... am I right?"

Being watched by the girl's oppressive eyes, Nis couldn't help swallowing.

It shrank back subconsciously, then said boldly:

"Eh...Miss Eudocia, if you want to learn about undead magic, you may be looking for the wrong person. A cat like me who has only learned a little in books doesn't know much..."

"I think, compared to a half-baked guy like me, maybe you should ask your contract partner. After all...no one knows more about undead magic than the senior priest of the Blood Demon Cult."

Nice looked earnest and frank.

However, after hearing its words, the girl named Eudocia's expression sank.

Terrifying coercion erupted from her, and the power poured out like a mountain. Under the shocking impact, the spellcasters in the workshop almost fell to the ground at the same time, and fell to their knees in a big plop... …

The girl flashed in front of Nice in an instant, and lifted it up like a chicken.

Sensing the crazily killing intent emerging from the girl, Nisi quickly yelled in horror:

"You, you, you...! You can't kill me! I am the one appointed by your leader to stay alive!"

"I... I also have a contract partner! Kill me! My contract master will not forgive you! My master cough cough cough..."

The feeble threat did not dispel the killing intent on the girl.

Not only that, but after listening to Nice's words, the young girl's murderous intent seemed to grow stronger.

An unprecedented sense of crisis surged into Nice's heart, and he quickly changed his tune and shouted:

"Stop! Stop! I... I know the magic that can revive the dead! Stop! Stop! Cough cough cough..."

As soon as the words fell, the tide of killing intent quickly faded away.

The girl slowly put down the lifted Niss, her scarlet pupils stared at its slightly constricted pupils due to strong suffocation, and the already cold voice seemed even colder:

"Let me hear the title of contract partner again, and I will definitely kill you without hesitation."

Sensing the earnestness in the girl's words, Nice shivered subconsciously.

It swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva, glanced at the expressionless girl with its amber eyes, and then tentatively said:

"That...Miss Eudocia, did I offend you?"

"Could it be that I misunderstood, you didn't sign a contract with the priest of the Blood Demon Cult?"

After listening to Nice's words, the girl glanced at it lightly, and lifted the hand that had just been put down.

Seeing the murderous intent flashing across the opponent's scarlet pupils, Niss quickly shouted:

"Stop! Stop—! I won't ask! I really won't ask! Don't... don't be impulsive!"

The girl slowly retracted her gaze and looked at it calmly.

After a long time, he said:

"Say, magic that can revive the dead."

Nice sighed and said:

"Then there is only [Undead Resurrection], I know how to cast this kind of magic..."

"It's just that I really suggest to ask for help from you... well, the leader, the guy who is riding you... cough, no, um... the guy who attacked me with you."

"I don't know much about this aspect, but in Miria, no one has studied the magic of undead more deeply than the blood race of Shedet."

After hearing Nice's words, the girl fell silent.

After a while, she continued:

"I don't need the magic of reviving the undead."

"Huh? Don't need the magic of resurrecting the undead?"

Nice froze.

The girl is still expressionless:

"I want magic that can revive the dead."

Nice was stunned again, and then suddenly the corner of his eye twitched:

"The magic of reviving the dead? Isn't it the magic of reviving the undead?"

"Wait... Do you mean that you want to wake up those who have died and whose souls have completely disappeared in the world?!"

The girl still looked at it quietly, without denying it.

Nice swallowed hard, and then said embarrassingly:

"Miss Eudocia, with all due respect... the soul is the source of life, if the soul has dissipated, there is really nothing to do."

"But I heard that you Nicholas-sected esoteric mages have even more amazing resurrection techniques..."

The girl said calmly.

As she spoke, she took a deep look at Nice:

"Don't try to deny your identity, even if you become a cat, I can still smell your unique human scent..."

Nice: ...

After hesitating for a moment, it sighed and said:

"Miss Eudocia, I think...you may have misunderstood something."

"That's right, I do know some special resurrection techniques, but what you don't know is that the so-called more magical resurrection techniques are not about resurrecting those who have lost their souls and can't die again, but... Hehe , on the premise of not disturbing the gods, skillfully summon those souls who belong to the kingdom of God back!"

It seems to be talking about pride, and Nice's expression was full of complacency when he said this.

However, the girl named Eudocia's gaze became strange for the first time:

"Summon the soul that returns to the Kingdom of God?"

"It's no wonder that you esoteric mages of the Nicholas School are listed as targets of hunting by many churches, and all of you...are lunatics."

Nice is even more proud:

"Hey! This is called skill! So what about the investigation? As long as I want to, they will not be able to find out! Not to mention the investigation, I can still hang around under their noses...cough cough..."

As if realizing that he almost slipped his tongue, it coughed a few times, and stopped the topic quickly.

However, the girl didn't seem to care about what it said.

After sneaking a glance at the other party and finding that the other party did not pursue the question, Nice also felt relieved.

It cleared its throat and continued:

"In short... the soul is a necessary condition for the resurrection of the dead. If the soul is really dissipated, even if the gods come, I am afraid there is nothing they can do."

After hearing Nice's words, the girl fell silent.

After a long time, she continued to ask:

"Really...can't you?"

Nice shook his head:

"It's really too bad, even if you ask the gods, I'm afraid you will get the same answer."

The girl clenched her fist slightly and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, she stopped asking questions and turned to leave.

"Hey! Miss Eudocia! The person you want to revive is a werewolf miner in the Castel silver mine?"

Looking at the back of the girl leaving, Nisi asked quickly.

The girl paused slightly, but she didn't look back, nor did she answer.

It wasn't until the opponent's figure completely disappeared that Nis breathed a sigh of relief, and then murmured:

"So... she is really the black dragon in the Castel Mine back then."

"Strange, she doesn't seem to be controlled by the Gorefiend Sect, but seems to have come together with the Gorefiend Sect?"

"No, I have to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible. Being locked up all the time is not an option. I'm afraid that grumpy little female dragon has roughly guessed my identity..."

"Although the alchemists of the Legris family have a good attitude, they are just greedy for my knowledge. The real key is the Blood Demon Cult. If those lunatics know my identity, I'm afraid I'm doomed!"

"Niss, Niss, what do you think you are proud of? When you are proud, you get carried away, and when you get carried away, you become a fool!"

"From the very beginning, when you saw those alchemists making trouble, you shouldn't have shot!"

"Oh, no... You can't do it if you don't make a move. After all, you have to trade technology for something delicious... But you shouldn't use those technologies that are easy to see in the first place!"

"No...you have to escape! You have to find a way to escape!"

Niss said to himself, quickly made up his mind, and hurriedly searched for the dagger he had just knocked down.

However, when it looked around, it found that all the "tools" it could reach, which had the hope of finding a way to cut the chains around its neck while others were not paying attention, had just been taken away by Eudocia.

Nice: ...

"Shit! On purpose! She must have done it on purpose!"

Nice swears and swears.

The obese body slumped onto the chair, with a dejected look on its face:

"Nice, Nice, you said you did something wrong, why did you leave Beigang?"

"It's great now! Not only can't run away at all, but the old man is about to be picked out!"

"Oh... great Miss Charlotte, when will you wake up, if you don't wake up... your territory will be taken up, and your poor contracted servant will also change from a fat cat to a dead cat Wow!"

Nice was downcast and remorseful.

And at this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of its heart:

"It makes sense, and I'm also curious. You were clearly asked to stay in Beigang honestly, but why did you go to Caiyin City, and even in the name of inspection under my name."

Hearing this familiar voice, Nisi's body was shocked, and his worry turned into joy in an instant:

"Lord Charlotte! Oh no! Master! Are you... is that your voice?"

"You... woke up?!"
