Demon Sage

v3 Chapter 45: trail of destruction

The charred corpse fell into the melted snow, and the head, which had long been unrecognizable, was held up in the northwest direction, as if the lips had been pierced by iron wire and tried to open and close, and the body was constantly trembling without stopping. Although this struggle is gradually weakening, the strong visual impact still makes Donald and his party decide to stop and check this weird corpse.

"Lilo, did you just say he's not an undead?"

Donald looked at the guy on the ground. If this thing wasn't the undead... what could it be?

"Not the undead... There is no undead death."

Undead creatures generally have negative energy, and even the concentration of negative energy in some cases represents the rank of undead creatures, but there is no undead death energy on the corpse in front of him. Donald uses his own spirit. The same conclusion was reached after force perception.

"It can't be a living person, can it? It's burned like this, still not dead?"

Stephanie pointed to the corpse on the ground and said in surprise.

"The captain of the guard said just now that this guy is not a human being. I wonder if it could be some kind of humanoid monster. Because of its strong fire resistance, they thought it had been burned to death and left, but it was not actually burned to death. ...but soon."

Anthony put his right hand on the short knife at his waist, frowning and looking at the corpse on the ground that was almost completely inactive.

"No, you two didn't say too much. This guy is a corpse. It's just a processed corpse. Look."

When the spirit vision state was turned on, Donald's eyes focused on the head of the corpse, and he released a spirit razor technique.

Break open the charred flesh, exposing the inner brain.

Perhaps because of the incineration, this brain has a yellowish-brown appearance. About the back of the head, there is a plug-like being inserted obliquely deep into the brain, and some strange steel needles are scattered around it. , also penetrates the brain.

Donald knew that this was the reason why the corpse could still be active after being burned to such a degree, but he couldn't figure out the principle.

"Mechanical creation? With the human brain as a carrier... Never heard of this kind of technology."

Mental power controlled the object behind his head to pull out. Donald looked at the obvious signs of artificial creation and said with a little daze.

He was somewhat of a man who liked reading books, but in Demingham for so long, he was sure he had never seen any description of the technology in any newspaper.

"I think about it, I seem to have heard a little bit of intelligence on this, it was a year ago when I attended a science seminar in Demingham as a chef, and I was listening near the podium before dinner was made. Those scholars chatted to pass the time."

Anthony paused when he said this, sorted out the contents of his memories, and then said,

"Some people say that a corpse technology has appeared in the inland area, which can make corpses move. It is not a dark wizard's evil method, but a special corpse control technology... I can't remember exactly how. To be clear, there were too many professional words in their discussions at that time, and I, a chef, really couldn’t understand it.”

"Controlling corpses with mechanical instruments? Although it is not an undead creature, this method is obviously not welcome anywhere. No wonder those people want to burn the corpse here, and they also want to offer a high reward for that person."

The emergence of every emerging technology always faces criticism from the outside world, not to mention this technology with some taboo topics.

Manipulating corpses, no matter what benefits this technology can ultimately achieve, if it is in a religious area, it must be the strangulation of the apostles. They don’t care what contribution this technology can make to society. Desecrating corpses is a thing that is enough to shatter one’s bones. guilt.

It now appears that even in secular areas, this antisocial-sounding technology is still hostile.

"Stephanie, get a cloth, we're going to Renas."

"Are you going to put it away?"

Stephanie, who walked back to the carriage to get the cloth, had a strange expression.

This kind of thing taken out of the brain of a corpse is always not so comfortable.

"Well, it's not good to put the ring directly in the space, you still have to wrap it in cloth."

Donald didn't really want to do anything, just out of a wizard's curiosity, he wanted to put this thing away, ready to have a chance to study it again.

After taking the plug-in from the corpse's brain, the carriage hit the road again, and soon arrived at Renas City.

"This city is doing well."

Donald looked at the cars on the street and the buildings lined up along the road. Renas' urban construction can be said to be quite elegant. The infrastructure is complete, and the buildings are distributed in an orderly manner. There are still some works of art along the street from time to time, and the urban greening has not fallen. , Donald looked around and the surrounding environment was not inferior to the Tallinn district of Demingham.

"It's really good. At first glance, Renas has a much higher standard of living than Beluye and Delchimo, but what you just said, Donald, is wrong."

Stephanie lifted her chin and put on a "come and ask me why" look.

"Then ask this beautiful lady, what's wrong with my words?"

"Renas is not as good as you seem, but the location we came in happened to be in its affluent area."

Stephanie held a book full of introductions to inland cities, and then said,

"The book says that the gap between the rich and the poor in this city is so exaggerated that it is unimaginable. You don't look at the rich areas so beautiful and delicate. If you go to the poor areas, you will know how much dirt is hidden behind the city. It is all thanks to the ruler of Renas, the Talos family, a man praised to the sky by the rich and cast aside to the cesspools of the road by the poor..."

"Stop, the gap between the rich and the poor will exist in most cities in the Lane Empire, and the religious area may be smaller than the religious area, even in Demingham, which is called the Pearl of the Sea by the outside world, doesn't there exist a land area? , I don't find it strange that Renas also has this situation... Besides, you plagiarized the second half of the sentence from the book, right?"

To discuss the gap between the rich and the poor~lightnovelpub.net~ I don't think I can finish it for a few days or nights. Donald is not interested in discussing this aspect here.

"Why don't you go find a restaurant first, it's almost past lunch time, and then go out to buy what you need for your next trip."

Anthony was obviously more interested in food and forcibly changed the subject.

"I don't mind. I eat dried meat these days. I'll have to eat it later..."

Halfway through his words, Donald shuddered, suddenly stood up from the carriage and looked around.

"What's wrong?"

Stephanie was taken aback by his sudden movement.

"One of my two biggest enemies at the moment is nearby! I can vaguely feel the breath of that special power... the power of destruction!"

After a long time, Donald once again felt the irritable and crazy power full of it!
