Chapter 712 Professor Laxmi and Blood Coral

The sweet smell in the air gradually dissipated.

It was a scent that reminded Paul of lychees, burning pine resin, and warm rose wine.

When he gradually woke up from the psychedelic state, he felt that his body was extremely hot, as if he had a fever... In contrast, his body was so weak and his will was so clear.

His first reaction was to roll up his sleeves and look at his forearms.

The kiss marks that had been there for many years had disappeared without a trace.

——This symbolized that the enchantment curse that had been entangled in his body like a nightmare had now disappeared.

He was not a blood slave who escaped... In fact, he was still under the control of his master.

It was for this reason that his enchantment curse was actively suppressed - that was his master's method.

The young lady curled up quietly in a corner of the sofa, sucking on the glass of fruit juice with a high alcohol content.

The bright red shining in the depths of her pupils became more and more obvious, and therefore more and more charming.

But she was clearly tipsy... but the strange, irresistible charm of her like a succubus had dissipated.

"Are you calm now?"

The young lady made a lazy cat-like voice and looked at him from afar with her eyes that were obviously a little drunk.

Paul was a little confused: "You... won't you suck my blood?"

Even though he had seen many children of the moon, he couldn't help but have an almost non-existent possibility in his heart - maybe, this child of the moon is a good person?

However, the other party's words immediately broke his wish.

"Why, do you really want me to suck your blood?"

She sneered and said arrogantly: "Sorry, I am still very picky about the appearance of food. At least it has to be at the level of the Eternal Saint - or His Majesty the Pope."

Of course, no one would think that the "level of the Eternal Saint or the Eternal Pope" she said really refers to those two.

The implication is that she thinks she is ugly...

Paul was a little stunned at first - after all, his master still likes him very much. When he was seven or eight years old, his master would even share it with guests in a boastful way. At that time, he often fell into anemia, so his master would prepare a lot of rich and nutritious food for him.

But Paul immediately felt relaxed and enlightened, and a faint regret flashed through his heart.

This is the Moon Child I am familiar with.

As expected, there is no good person among the Moon Child...

At this moment, the light words of the black-haired lady made him stunned-

"Although you should be able to obey in the state of charm... But as a respect for your personality, I decided to wait until you regain consciousness before asking you questions."

She said so seriously: "It is best to say everything you should say honestly and don't waste everyone's time. You have experienced my charm ability, so it is best not to expect that you can resist that feeling."

-Respect for personality?

For a moment, Paul thought he had heard it wrong.

But looking at the other party's serious expression, he felt that she didn't seem to be lying. And she had indeed controlled both of them a long time ago... If she really wanted to ask something, there was no need to wait until they were completely out of control before asking. The waiting time in between was enough for her to ask for information and then throw them out of the ship through the window.

... Could it be the rare Son of the Moon of Hengwo?

Paul speculated in his heart. He subconsciously glanced at Dimit, who had just regained consciousness and was gasping for breath with his forehead covered, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

"I said she was a good person--"

The first sentence Dimit said after he recovered made Paul couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand.

... But it's okay. Anyway, they can't resist each other, making themselves look more stupid, maybe they have a chance to survive.

Paul is different from Dimit, his knowledge is even higher than many nobles.

It is precisely because Paul has experienced the "charm" lock of the fourth-level Son of the Moon... that he can clearly distinguish that this level of charm ability has far exceeded the fourth level.

- There is no doubt that it is the power of the fifth level.

This means that even if the other party is not a fifth-level strongman... he is at least closely related to a fifth-level strongman. No matter what the specific answer is, the other party is not something a homeless stray dog ​​like him can deal with.

"Your will."

Paul put his right hand on his chest, stepped back with his left foot, and bowed slightly: "I will answer everything I know, Miss."

He performed an imperial salute that is quite popular among the Moon Children to the young lady whose full name is still unknown.

Sure enough, the other party's attitude has obviously improved a little.

"You can call me Miss Crowley."

Aleister introduced himself intimately and confirmed the information that Paul overheard.

Then, "Miss Crowley" asked directly: "What is that chronic toxin that can transform living things into undead? Both of you talk about it and complement each other."

"It is a magic potion of the Dusk Path, invented by Professor Laxmi!"

Dimitri answered quickly: "But I remember it has been banned..."

"- It's called 'noose'."

Paul gave a more precise account: "It was not destroyed because the Admiralty thought it might have war value."

"……What?"

Dimit was stunned for a moment and looked at Paul in disbelief: "That's not what you told me!"

"Because if I tell you, you will definitely not be able to help saying it."

Paul replied calmly: "So the professor specifically told me not to tell you about the experiment. Because he doesn't want you to become our 'anatomy assistant'."

He watched as the gray-haired boy scratched his head and acquiesced, while Paul also shook his head slightly helplessly.

You should deny it...

"—anatomy assistant?"

Aleister straightened up with interest and asked curiously: "What is that?"

"In the Ziggurat, the 'teaching assistant' is actually a teaching tool. It is usually a punishment used by professors when they punish students who have not handed in their homework. Because necromancy is usually used for dead people, but dead people are not Can talk, so if a living person can withstand necromancy and give feedback, other students can understand the mystery of necromancy more deeply."

Paul explained: "In anatomy... you are dissecting yourself completely under the supervision of the professor. This process also requires constantly explaining each part to other students... Of course, the professor will put the students back together in the end. But I I have also heard of a fool who killed himself - the professor was a venomous person, and when he cursed, the students would get flustered and didn't know how to operate, and finally killed themselves on the spot.

"Among the 'Top Ten Unlucky Guys' who died last year, he died in the stupidest way."

"I'm not afraid of pain..."

Dimit emphasized this point first, as if he didn't want Aleister to look down on him.

Then he was silly and happy, and said with a smile: "But I have completely forgotten the class last semester!"

...I don’t know why he is so happy.

Paul sighed helplessly.

He and Dimit are considered the same age. It's just that their previous living environment was completely different.

Although Dimit is also a second-level transcendent... his profession is that of a "thief" who can be seen everywhere on the streets.

His best skill is stealing. Sneaking, stealing, lock-picking - the reason why he got to know Paul, who was a top student, was that during one of his thefts, he met Paul who also came to steal things, but was almost discovered because of his clumsiness.

As a necromancer of the Dusk Path, Dimit has not even touched the first level yet. However, he has a cheerful personality, and as a second-level transcendent who is adapted to the path, he is very dexterous, and at the same time, he is stronger than most necromancers. Therefore, he was also captured by his mentor as a coolie - his main responsibilities were cleaning and carrying things.

Unlike Dimit, Paul is a fraudster at the second level of the Path of Love - if his master hadn't been sucking the essence of his blood and preventing him from being promoted prematurely, Paul would have already entered the third level. .

Because before he came into contact with necromancy, he had already reached the limit of the second level of the path of love.

That was three years ago.

There is no doubt that his master is not just cultivating him as a blood bag - not only teaching him the common sense of aristocratic society, cultivating his various abilities and teaching him various knowledge...

This is all because Paul, who is also on the path of love, also has the possibility of being transformed into the path of love.

In order to be able to complete the transformation independently, Paul's path energy level must be lower than that of his master.

She hoped that Paul could be transformed when he was twenty years old, when he was at his most youthful and energetic, so she allowed him to go to school. If he was promoted to the third level at the age of fourteen, there was a real possibility that he would be able to go to school in his second year. Reach the fourth energy level before the age of ten.

——In that case, Paul would not be her "son" but could only be her "brother."

The three years of studying in the Ziggurat made Paul become a second-level necromancer.

Considering that he is still under eighteen years old, he is already considered to have outstanding talents.

Paul's current mentor, Professor Laxmi, relied on this reason to take Paul over from his master - since he can't move forward on the road of love, it's better to take a walk and see the twilight road first. .

Since Aleister asked him to say everything he needed to say, he did not hide it and told Aleister and Demit together.

As it happens, Dimit must have doubts in his heart. Why not take this opportunity to clarify his doubts.

Normally, due to his master's order, he could not reveal his identity to others - but his master also had another order, which was to surrender directly if he encountered an irresistible enemy.

If the other person wants to ask something, answer it, and give the other person what he wants. Show kindness to powerful enemies as much as possible, and never engage in any form of head-on confrontation - even if the other party asks for information about yourself, give it to him directly.

“…What a fun lady.”

The corners of Aleister's mouth raised slightly.

She had never seen an enemy with this level of knowledge in Avalon.

She had seen those who told her subordinates to fight the enemy to the death, and she had seen those who told their subordinates to keep absolute secrets or never betray... But this was the first time she saw this kind of "surrender immediately when you see an enemy who is stronger than you, you can do it at any time" Betrayal" genre.

But this can be considered a kind of wisdom.

For those who are passionate about the path of love, if they don't hold on for the sake of face, they can effectively avoid provoking people they can't afford to offend.

So Aleister asked: "Then if I want to ask you...about her weaknesses? Will you tell me directly?"

"My master never told me about that kind of thing."

Paul said frankly: "My master made in-depth contact with me on the assumption that I would betray her in the future. To this day, I don't know her real name - she said that she would wait until I turned into a moon. Son, she will tell me everything.”

"What about her appearance? There's no way she's wearing a mask to suck your blood, right?"

This sentence was not asked by Aleister, but by Dimitri.

Paul had already guessed that they would ask this question, so he answered directly: "The master has the ability to change her appearance, so she looks different every time she comes to see me. I only know that she seems to be at the fourth level. ...But even the mentor respects her.

"I remember my mentor called her...blood coral."

Following his master's orders, Paul sold his master without hesitation.

"...blood coral."

Aleister raised his eyebrows in surprise.

She really knows this code name.

This is one of the many daughters and lovers of the "Red Phase", and is closely related to the "Blood Diamond" who contacted Minister Drost... It is said that the two of them are biological sisters.

Aleister thought for a moment and took this piece of information to heart.

She continued to ask: "Then let's talk about the magic potion called 'Noose' - who is your professor, and why did he scatter this potion in the high seas? Why does the Navy Department think this potion has special significance? "

"This medicine can transform people into a 'living corpse' state similar to the undead... It was originally invented as a 'preservative'. Even if it is taken in normal doses, it will be excreted by the body, so it is It is a very safe preservative. If it is applied to a corpse, it can keep the corpse fresh for a long time. It was not until much later that it was discovered that it can be used as a special and quite hidden chronic poison as long as the concentration is increased. "

Paul is worthy of being a top student. He answered smoothly without hesitation: "During the poisoning, the poisoned person will gradually feel more and more intense suffocation. Therefore, when it is used as a poison, its name is called 'noose' - if it continues to accumulate Toxins, thinking will gradually stagnate. In this state, people will become stupid and irritable... and the children born at this time will also be naturally poisoned 'quiet children'.

"Because this medicine is too hidden and easy to obtain... many students will secretly sell the medicine, purify it themselves, and sell it outside. The ziggurat banned the synthesis of this poison. Later, the poison was destroyed intensively, and this year it will be completely destroyed. Preservatives as raw materials are also prohibited... Nowadays we are back to using formalin, which was invented by the director of formalin a long time ago.

"The research project of the military department wants us to study - if trace amounts of this unpurified 'non-toxic preservative' are dispersed and fed to marine organisms, and as the marine organisms prey on each other, Do they enrich upward and purify spontaneously, and if so, they could serve as a covert, undetectable weapon..."

After hearing Paul's words, Aleister narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression became serious.

A cold light flashed in her eyes, which made Paul shudder and suddenly stop narrating.

"What about your master?"

She opened her mouth and asked slowly and in a frighteningly calm tone: "In what capacity did she join this experiment?"

“…my master, she has provided us with the ship tickets and our mission to get here.

"But what she really wants is Professor Laxmi's handle."

Paul replied quietly.
