The Dean Has Arrived

Chapter 166 Franken · Stan

w In the end, Sevi accepted the surrender of Skeleton.

Although from the exchange diary written by Sophia, this product seems to have killed a lot of the Kate, but this has nothing to do with Xiwei. The only reason for his hostility with this skeleton is because it attacked his own students.On this point, Xiwei has already taught it well.

In addition, Xiwei also has a lot of interest in this skeleton that can cast spells so flexibly, so he signed a master-servant contract with the skeleton.

After scouring some of the more valuable items from the skeleton’s castle, Xiwei gave it a homecoming crystal and told it to return to the floating island first, while he killed two snow monsters who could not fight back. , Reported to Alyssa and the others that the effect of [Savior Bond] ended, and returned to the sky island-but after so much time, the deficit of the magic pool in the academy panel has been huge enough to make Sivi embarrassed. To the point.

If it wasn't for the cost of demolishing the building, it might be more cost-effective to just demolish and rebuild.

Once back to the empty island, Xiwei saw the bone frame lying in the fountain, seeming to be studying the working principle of the fountain of sacred chanting...

Because Xiwei felt that there were only a few little dwarfs besides himself on such a large empty island, he felt too lifeless, so he bought some small ornamental fish fry and sprinkled them in the river and fountain ponds.In order to prevent these fish from falling off the island with the water, he deliberately set up several interception nets in the river.

At this time, there are many small fishes curiously pecking at the bone racks that are like dead creatures lying in the fountain, which looks particularly strange.

"What are you doing?" Xiwei looked at the scene silently.Asked after a while.

However, because most of the body was immersed in the water, the skeleton's usual technique of manipulating the wind element to speak was not working anymore, only a series of grunting sounds and bubbles were heard.

Xiwei sighed, and the mage took the skeleton out of the fountain and put it aside, and then threw a few small fish that had fallen out of the skeleton's chest cavity and skull back into the pool.

The wet skeleton scratched his skull with his finger bones, making a crunching sound.

"This place is really amazing." It said, looking around with its hollow eye sockets.

Although Xiwei knew that it should be a sigh from the heart, but the feeling of no tone fluctuation is like a crappy actor following the script of the line.Si Wei was slightly unhappy.

"From today you will stay in this magical place for a long time. So don't worry, you will have a lot of time to study this place." Xiwei manipulated the hand of the mage to face the holy destination. Shi's eager skeleton pulled back to the original place: "Before this, I must have a full understanding of you."

Although it is still early.But Xiwei had to accompany or monitor the vampire girl in the afternoon, so the initial handling and arrangement of the skeletons must be completed before noon.

"I know everything, my master." Skeleton cooperated very well.

"First is the most basic. Name, age, gender."

"My name is Franken, Franken Stein. Please forgive the skull and skull. I can't remember how many years I have spent since becoming a skeleton, especially since my concept of time has become increasingly blurred recently. "Skull and crossbones spread their hands, saying that he has no impression of age at all: "Of course, I think I will not be a skeleton for more than ten years at most."

"I think that's because you are always the same... The relationship between the skeletons in the dark castle, whether it is loneliness or indulging in their own interests, will make it difficult to grasp the changes of time, but the former is becoming longer and the latter is Shorten." Xiwei said casually: "Then do you remember how old you were before you died?"

"Of course I remember that I was only twenty years old at that time, and it was the moment when I was full of confidence and vision for the future." Skull said.Although the content seems very romantic, it is a bit ironic when it is said in a feelingless tone: "As for gender, it is a male before death, but a skeleton after death. Are you satisfied with this answer, I Master."

"Very satisfied." Sivi touched his chin.Nodded.

In fact, Xiwei has learned more important things than the other's name and age.

For example, this skeleton should be the abnormal skeleton mentioned by the Necromancers.

According to the study of the undead by the necromancers, the skeletons are completely monsters formed by the transformation of the corpse under the strong breath of death after the human corpse is received by the plane of the undead.

The flesh is completely decayed, and only the bones are left. They shouldn't have any memories of their lives-in fact, most of the skeletons look so dull because of this.After all, even the soul has been lost.

However, there are always accidents in everything.

About a hundred years ago, a necromancer claimed that his skeleton had memories of his life and maintained a normal level of consciousness.This incident caused an uproar in the world of Necromancers, and many Necromancers who were positive about this incident began to examine the skeletons under their hands.As a result, other self-conscious skeletons were discovered one after another.

Of course, the number of such skeletons is extremely rare in comparison with the huge number of skeletons themselves, so far, many necromancers still regard self-conscious skeletons as a fantasy-here Previously, the Necromancer world generally believed that only when the skeleton evolves into a skeleton lord or a skeleton-type monster of the same level, the magic element core will replace the soul to make the skeleton self-conscious.

Skeletons that can carry memories of their own lives and retain their self-awareness are collectively referred to as metamorphic skeletons. There is no convincing statement about the reason for their birth.But for all necromancers who believe in the existence of metamorphic skeletons, one thing is beyond doubt-this kind of self-contained, um...I mean skeletons with self-consciousness can definitely be used as a key training object, at least in advanced skeletons. Before the lord, they tended to be much better than their stupid kind.

"The next question... let's go to the castle and discuss it slowly." Seeing Franken who seemed to want to go to study the hot spring again, Sivi sighed.A hand of the mage carried it into the castle.

"Although it may be inconvenient for you, I still hope you can explain to me the'must do' that you said before." On the way to the dean's room, Xiwei confronted the skeleton swaying behind him. Asked.

Xiwei is not laissez-faire, he always likes to collect as much information as possible so that he can always grasp the situation and trend of the situation.It was the same at this time, in order to prevent accidents that might be detrimental to the college, he wanted to know what the other party was going to do, after all, for this purpose.Franken did not hesitate to conduct various experiments and gave up when the situation was unfavorable.

But to his surprise.Franken didn't show any eloquence about this, and quickly told Sivi all his purpose.

Franken was originally just a magician who lived in a small village similar to the former Siwei and liked to study all kinds of magic.It is different from Xiwei.At that time, Franken got along well with the villagers. He even found a lover in the village and gave birth to a lovely boy with her.

Although he is already twenty years old but still a junior magician, Franken has extremely unique research and insights into the structure of magic.The Qi Yao mage tower in the nearby big city even took a fancy to his research ability and sent him an invitation.

However, Franken, who was newly married at that time, immediately rejected this invitation that would make him promising, just to have more time with his family.

By setting up a small classroom similar to a private school to teach the children in the village to learn to read and understand some common sense of magic, and to collect tuition, plus the manuscript fee for submitting to the newspaper, Franken’s life is not as good as the rich and wealthy nobles A noble enshrined mage, but compared to the average person, it's a very good life.

Except for class and writing magic manuscripts, Franken's remaining time was divided into two parts.Accompany your family and conduct magic research.He likes this kind of day very much, and sincerely hopes that this kind of day can continue.

But the god of fate likes to joke with people.Just when Franken's son had just turned one year old, he suddenly found traces of necromancers near the village.

Franken didn't take this to heart at the beginning. After all, although the church and the Qi Yao Mage Association always shouted and screamed at the Necromancer, in general, as long as the other party did not appear in the city in an upright manner.They didn't do anything extraordinarily traumatic, and they wouldn't really fight against a Necromancer who is likely to cause huge losses to them.

And the reclusive traveler like Franken would not take the initiative to provoke these perverse necromancers.

Because the village where Franken lived in seclusion was not far from the city with the Qi Yao Mage Tower, he didn't think that the other party would die to such a place to do things, thinking that the necromancer was just passing by.

But a week later, when Franken found the trace of the Necromancer again, he felt something was wrong-how could it take so long to pass by?

At the same time, the villagers in the village showed signs of being infected with the plague.Even Franken’s one-year-old is no exception.

Realizing that this might be the ghost of the Necromancer, Franken decisively informed the Seven Luminar Tower of the incident.Subsequently, the Mage Association also rounded up the Necromancer, but unfortunately there was no result.

After inspecting the patients, the pastor of the church confirmed that the villagers had a very contagious plague that was difficult to cure, but the mortality rate was not too high.This plague was the first time that the priests and priests could not find similar diseases in the classics, and the source of the plague could not be confirmed. However, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, the village must be isolated.

As a result, the people in the village were forcibly deported to a remote corner. In addition, the isolation status could not be used for business, and until the new round of crops matured, they could only rely on a small amount of food subsidized by the city.

There was not enough food, and soon some people in the village began to die because of the plague and hunger. Even Franken's children became scrawny and dying.

Franken, who believed that the plague must come from the curse magic of the Necromancer, ignored the prohibition issued by the Mage Association and the church, and angrily found the Necromancer who was still wandering not far from the city.And had a fight with each other.

However, the opponent was already a senior mid-level, and Franken, who was still a beginner, was defeated. He was directly killed by the opponent and re-summoned as a skeleton through the skeleton revival. After the enemy was killed, his body would be killed. Being enslaved by one's own subordinates for a lifetime, this is a common hobby of many necromancers.

However, what the Necromancer didn't expect was that for some reason Franken's memory and consciousness had not been lost, but instead relied on the skeleton.So when the other party was not paying attention, Franken shot and killed the necromancer in a sneak attack, and found a notebook from him.

"He is a genius." Franken sat on the sofa.Recalling the scene at the time, he said that his bones were very light, and he would not feel sinking when sitting on the sofa: "He actually used the cloud of plague and the curse of plague as a blueprint. He wrote a new curse magic. He seems to Called the magic'source of plague', people who died after being infected with this plague will have a cloud of plague on their body when they are revived with a skeleton, which is much stronger than ordinary skeletons. His purpose is to wait until isolation After all people are suffering from the plague, they will kill them to enrich their skeletons. You know, the Qi Yao Mage Association will not die for a few plague patients and a necromancer who is about to enter a higher level. Just verbal sanctions."

"The source of the plague was released in the water that the people in the village drank. Because of its invisibility, even the priest did not find it. Although there were not many people who had the plague at the time, in fact all people had already bear the curse. Sooner or later. You’ll get the plague too.” Franken paused for a while before continuing: “Moreover, what’s even more frightening is that the water in our village and the city are the same, and the residents in the city should gradually begin to experience this plague. Although I secretly reminded the Holy See that there was a problem with the water source. To be honest, I had no hope that they would pay attention to this reminder. But at the time I had nothing to do with the source of the plague, and I didn’t want to My lover and son saw me like this, so I finally ran away with the Necromancer's notes. For so many years I have been studying necromantic magic and other magic, trying to crack the effect of the plague source, but it is a pity I haven't been able to succeed so far..."

"Wait...If I'm not mistaken, could it be that the city you are talking about is Morag?" Xiwei, who heard half of it, suddenly interrupted.

"Yes. Master, do you know?" Skeleton raised his head, staring at Xiwei with hollow eyes.

"It may be because you have been in a remote place so you don't know." Sivi thought about it, and finally decided to tell him: "Morag has now become a famous plague cage."

In fact, shortly after Franken left there, a large-scale plague broke out immediately. In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the nearby lords finally organized a large number of earth elemental masters and joined forces to kill Morag It sank nearly a hundred meters and became a huge pothole city, and lava was arranged on the periphery to prevent the people inside from escaping.

Of course, the magicians inside were taken out and received various treatments.

It didn't take long for that area to introduce new penalties for crimes-for those who are not guilty of death, but cannot be released, they will be directly exiled to Morag and let them fend for themselves.

It is precisely because of this that Morag was called a plague cage.

"There is only one thing I want to do. Solve the source of the plague over there. I can let you send it at other times, but you must leave me enough time for experimentation." Skeleton has no eyeballs, but Xiwei However, he was still a little bit psychologically fluffy by the other side.

"This request of yours does not conflict with the philosophy of our college, and I can agree to it."

Xiwei nodded and agreed to the other party's request, and then he shook his hands with ten fingers crossed, propped his chin and stared at the skull and said, "But don't rest assured that it is too early. I have other things to ask you before then."

"No problem, please just ask."

"Your research on magic is indeed very good..." Because he has seen some of its research results in the other party’s castle, Sevi still believes in the level of Franken’s research: "But your own magic knowledge is again How?"

"Are you going to test me, my master," Franken asked calmly.

Xiwei shrugged noncommittal, and then began to randomly pick out questions from his own knowledge to ask Skeleton.

Skeleton will answer honestly.

Soon Sivi grasped the opponent's current level-Franken's knowledge of magic can only be said to be fairly good, at least one or two of the more partial questions in the Sivi exam can be answered.

In addition, for the university subject of alchemy, Franken’s knowledge in pharmacy was so poor that Sevi could not help but sigh, but it has a very good foundation for enchanting and magical studies, even in rune literature. It's just a little worse than Sevi.

In the examination school, Franken performed best in the field of magic tectonics.

In fact, magical tectonics is also a university subject, divided into many subjects such as curse literature, magic deduction, law-casting, etc. However, Franken is completely unwilling to come. Regarding Xiwei’s problems, no matter from which aspect Can answer more detailed things, and even think of something that Xiwei could not even think of by analogy.

And what Franken admired most is that it has very good innovation and imagination no matter what.

Xiwei’s knowledge of magic, alchemy, etc., except for a little bit left over from the initial predecessor, most of it is instilled by the system. In a sense, this knowledge is for Xiwei It's more like an encyclopedia that can be searched in an instant—it can answer Sivi's questions, but it can never create new things by itself.

Even the magic like Hui Yao Liebo that appeared to be original by Xiwei, is actually only the magic he combined with Hui Yao flame and flame, not original in the true sense.

It was precisely because of this that, when Franken's talents were revealed, Xi Wei felt that he had found the treasure.

"Very well, starting from today, you will be our academy's teacher of magical structure." Xiwei nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the bald bone frame: "But before that, I have to get you a skin... …" (Your support is welcome, it is my greatest motivation.) m
