Chapter 455: Great Fire of London

When seeing the six-pointed star drawn by Cromwell, Charlotte realized what kind of spell Jack the Ripper used in the East End of London in 1888.

This is the extraction of ground veins!

In fact, he extracted the power of the veins in an area centered on the Whitechapel in the East End of London as the energy for him to integrate ancient ghosts.

This kind of magic to extract earth veins is very dangerous.

Because in the process of extracting the earth veins, the vitality of living people in a large area nearby will be extracted together.

The degree of this kind of extraction is random. The light one is only easier to fatigue for a period of time, while the heavy one is life-threatening.

Although it is not like the ghost tiger that Charlotte encountered in the first place, it can directly drain the vitality of a person and make people die immediately, but the person who is drawn more vitality can actually not live long.

——They will soon lose too much vitality and die under the invasion of various diseases.

As for why Charlotte is so clear, it is because there was a similar record in the knowledge that the old ghost taught him.

However, it was a spell named "Slaying Dragon Technique", which was also aimed at dragons in the veins of the earth.

That kind of magic can be directly extracted from the earth veins together with the dragon inside by the way of living sacrifices, and transformed into pure magical energy.

——This kind of spell, as its name suggests, was first invented, but it was actually used to deal with the violent dragons in the veins.

However, later, the casters discovered that this kind of spell would not only cause huge collateral damage, cost the lives of people living near the veins, but also make the caster himself half-human, half-ghost, and debilitating.

After all, how could Tu Long not pay the price?

Therefore, the later spellcasters in China have banned this spell.

——Like Charlotte, when he dealt with the dragon in the Malcolm Nursing Home, he didn't even think about this kind of spell.

Look at the explanation given by Cromwell, Jack the Ripper should have used this kind of spell.

——Of course, it may be a variant.

"Could it be that the dragon slaying forbidden technique was spread abroad?"

Charlotte thought to herself.

This possibility is not non-existent-

Just as the ancient Chinese and Western technological inventions will slowly spread through Central Asia, so will spells and even ghosts gradually spread.

——Don’t say anything else, isn’t Xu Fu a typical example?

So, Charlotte is not particularly strange.

He was only a little speechless about the obsessive-compulsive disorder of Western spellcasters who had to gather a six-pointed star.

——Use a five-pointed star if you have the ability!

Although the original dragon slaying forbidden technique did require Liuqi living sacrifices, it was actually the meaning of "Liuhe"...

but--

"If Jack the Ripper was drawing a six-pointed star with the Whitechapel in the East End of London as the center, why hasn't anyone noticed it for so long?"

Charlotte, who didn't know much about the details of Jack the Ripper's case, was a little strange.

You know, although there have never been many people who know spells in this world, people's imagination is still very powerful.

At least, Charlotte felt that those historians who used criminal cartography to study the Jack the Ripper case should be aware of the existence of this six-pointed star.

Cromwell gave a gloomy smile to Charlotte’s question.

"The real location of the attack, the six-pointed star's six-pointed star is—I told you?"

"I see!"

Charlotte nodded.

Indeed, with the level of forensic science of that era, it was difficult for the police in Scotland Yard to accurately distinguish the scene of the assault from the scene of the removal.

This makes the scene of the murder known to the world completely different from what Cromwell told Charlotte.

However, this also shows that Cromwell probably has been paying attention to Jack the Ripper since 1888...

************

In short, Jack the Ripper should have used this kind of dragon-slaying forbidden technique that originated from the east and can extract the power of the earth veins, and therefore—

"Is there a dragon hidden beneath the Whitechapel in the East End of London?"

Charlotte asked Cromwell.

"It does exist, the dragon you said!"

Cromwell said solemnly.

"That was a dragon that was born in the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was forcibly sealed by me to the underground of Whitechapel in the East End of London-that was the first enemy I faced as a ghost!"

"A fire dragon born in the Great Fire of London?"

Charlotte nodded.

It is normal for a fire dragon to be born in a fire of that scale.

——You must know that in the Great Fire of London in 1666, 80% of London was burnt down, and there were countless casualties.

In that case, the remnants of a large number of dead souls poured into the ground. Together with the people's fear of flames at that time, combined with the ground power accumulated by London as an ancient city, it was enough to give birth to a dragon.

——That can even be said to be a sacrifice that happened by coincidence.

"Anyway, Oliver, you surrendered the dragon and sealed it underground in the Whitechapel, didn't you? Then Jack the Ripper extracted it in 1888—that’s why you noticed it. That guy exists, doesn't it?"

"Yes!"

"That said, Jack the Ripper actually not only swallowed an ancient ghost~lightnovelpub.net~, but also took the opportunity to swallow a fire dragon. This guy is even more powerful than Xu Fu!"

Charlotte sighed.

"He also swallowed ghosts and turned into a ghost, so he is not afraid of the power backlash or curse brought about by the dragon slaying-the calculation is really smart!"

"And now, he intends to do it again, right?"

Charlotte asked Cromwell with a gloomy face.

"If the thing under your castle is really that!"

In Cromwell's words, there was a taste of gloat.

This made Alexis on one side a little puzzled. She looked at Charlotte, who squeezed a few words between her teeth--

"Francis Farmer!"

"what!!!"

Alexis suddenly understood--

Although he has been completely separated from the dragon in Malcolm Nursing Home, Francis Farmer, as a ghost, has characteristics that are undoubtedly very similar to dragons.

Especially when she was sleeping underground, it seemed to someone who was unfamiliar—such as Cromwell or Jack the Ripper—that it was a gestating dragon.

And Jack the Ripper was originally the power obtained through the dragon slaying technique. After discovering a new "dragon", he was delighted by the hunt and wanted to copy it again. It was reasonable...

"So, Jack the Ripper was actually looking at Ms. Francis!? No wonder this case happened near our "Hogwarts" studio..."

Alexis looked at his director with some worry,

"Charlotte, what should we do?"

"How to do!?"

Charlotte snorted coldly.

"Of course it was to kill Jack the Ripper!-Oliver, you told me this was for this purpose, right?"

Charlotte looked at Cromwell.
