There were several giant glass tanks lined up in the away basement of the Agwinas family, once a room where large quantities of potions were stored.
"Is this the 'black new drug' ……"
Jack Nielenberg snaps uncomfortably.
In the corner of the room are the Agwinas technicians who were involved in the manufacture of new drugs. Their faces were tired without falling eyes, characteristic of those who had been pushing and killing emotions all along, but the slightly legible remains of emotions also seemed reassuring when they were finally liberated.
************************************************************
Lois Agwinas, a former head of the Agwinas family who regained his sanity, was cooperative in his investigation of the Labyrinth Crusader Army. Understanding from Royce's statement that the matter included many top-secret matters, Weishardt came to the hearing of the situation only with his credible belly. The report on 'New Black Drugs', based on statements by Royce and the technicians of the Agwinas family, was said to have begun with the following sentence:
"New Black Medicine" is a spell medicine for damage transfer that applies the secret art of "Sacrifice Clan".
A clan of sacrifices is a clan that is a substitute for the catastrophe that befalls an emperor and other extremely high figures.
In ancient times, it was said that receiving the "curse" or the "evil" that preceded it was the role of a generation (catashiro) mimicking the shape of a person. If it is an "evil" gathering of evil and obscenity that does not lead to a curse, it may be a form without flesh, and in the ancient times when a group called the sacrificial clan was formed, it was the family's business to transfer and purify the evil to a form made of paper, trees, and soil.
But as man's world shifted, and small nations grew into empires, and at the same time witchcraft and technology developed, man's evils became more complex and more massively solidified, and the art of the clan that paid for it also turned into something more effective and ugly.
They began to use humans in their shapes.
No one can be a substitute. Firstly, it is compatible with the subject being escorted. If it is for a moment or a certain period of time that you will suffer, you may activate the procedure at that moment. But the air in the swamp was constantly starving and humid, but it needed to be born compatible with the shapeless malice and evil that constantly drifted and accumulated around the subject and tried to make his destiny hang in the wrong way.
Although human beings who could be shaped are limited, non-shaped clans were therefore also required to clear the evil minds to which the shapes were subjected. Because there are not dozens of people for one surgeon, such as the right person, we need to keep the human being in shape for a long time.
Historical emperors all visited the sacrificial clan to make a "sacrificial covenant" with the shapes adjusted over time, and since then, the shapes have received all of the scourge of resentment directed against the emperor. At times, even the murder blade of the thief who planned to take it was replaced, he said. The sacrificial clan has supported the Emperor from the shadows by healing, protecting, and purifying tragedies.
Up to this point, it was a story we would have heard if we were a limited number of superior nobles like Weishardt and the others.
Even when Leonhardt's skills were revealed, there was talk of targeting the Sacrifice Clan. Leonhardt did not enter into a "sacrifice contract" because he was incompatible and unlikely to keep it in a curse-specific form because of the amount of physical damage he would take in a labyrinth crusade, and because he strongly opposed it based on the Schusenwald family's teaching that "the next generation will inherit the will".
The truth about the secret art of the sacrificial clan was in the past.
Children chosen for their shapes can change their bodies from an early age with medicines and magic to make them more compatible with the surgeon. Replacing all the blood, etc. is a prelude, divided many times to open the body and engrave the spell mark directly on the bone. Previously on the right arm, this time separated between the left leg and the place, the flesh, the skin, the fat, is soaked in a special magic fluid to denature before being recreated into its original form with healing magic again.
It seems that those who are not compatible with the surgeon may also replace them with cultured artificial tissue.
The flesh thus created can take on the disaster suffered by the surgeon with high efficiency.
But there is no way that we can live normally in a flesh that has been altered by such an evil law. The altered flesh does not move as the owner thinks, but becomes painful simply by touching the light, the air. Such as those replaced by artificial tissue will no longer even come out of the medicine tank. But that is not a problem for the sacrificial clan.
Because the flesh of the shape-shaped does not belong to the person who became the shape-shaped, but to another subject of escort who becomes the subject of the surgery.
The shape-shape only unilaterally receives the disaster of the surgeon. Neither the pain nor the suffering felt by the shape-shifters can be transmitted to the surgeon. No matter how painful the shapes may be, they are also temporary until they are completed as shapes.
Lewis learned the secret art of the sacrificial clan that connects the surgeon to his generation. The sacrificial clan disclosed everything to Lewis as promised when he received him. Lewis put his whole spirit into deciphering secrets and developing applied techniques.
I knew what would happen to me when I was finished as a shape-shaper.
In ancient times, puppets shaped like humans were used.
Shapes are the other body of the surgeon. You don't need the will of the shapes there.
Only slightly earlier than Lewis' flesh was completed as a shape-shaper, Lewis' research was fortunate. He sent a spell drug created using every conceivable method to his twin brother, Royce Agwinas.
The obstruction of the sacrificial clan was expected. They have no intention of divulging secrets from the beginning. He revealed his secret art to Lewis because he knew that if Lewis became a shape-shifter, he would be unable to do anything. Lewis, who is on the verge of being shaped, cannot leave the interior. No matter how much Lewis learns about the secrets of the sacrificial clan, the secrets will never be known outside as long as they are censored for letters and deliveries.
Lewis didn't do it because he wrote the secret. I can't get it to Royce in such a tight way.
Even just one of the more than a hundred magic pills Lewis sent to Royce, and if Royce had drunk it for me, it would have been Lewis' win. Lewis and Royce are twins who make ex alike. Nothing more than compatibility. Lewis gambled that he should be able to come to Royce without any kind of surgical treatment.
Lewis thus won the bet, and Lewis was granted to dwell in Lewis' flesh just before he was destroyed with his completion as a shape-shaper. Instead of applying the contract of the shapes and unilaterally sending disaster from the surgeon to the shapes, he transferred the soul of Lewis, the shapes, to Lewis, who was hit by the surgeon with the activation of the spell medicine.
Lewis chose the method of communicating directly to Royce and Robert, giving himself up to the little bottle of his pinky finger, because he could not convey it in writing or anything else that stood out. Lewis said he appeared while Royce was unconscious and taught Robert the secrets of the clan directly.
Lewis' only miscalculation would have been that he had been deprived of his original flesh and continued to feel the pain that the flesh would suffer.
Full of hatred and malice directed at the emperor, he caused the flesh of Lewis, who had become a shape-shaper, and continued to inflict pain and suffering on Lewis even though it was in Lewis' body.
Whenever he tries to escape the pain, Lewis erodes Royce. Royce's flesh is provisional for Lewis. If Royce had strongly rejected Lewis, he might have been able to stop Lewis from eroding. But I was supposed to go to adopt him. Lewis' pain and suffering is what he was supposed to suffer.
Royce chose to accept Lewis, suffering with Lewis and losing his sanity a little bit.
The "black new drug" is a magic drug created based on the secret tricks Lewis told us.
Curse medicine that shifts the damage of the person who used it to a shape.
There are three conditions for shaping.
One, qualities as shapes. Compatibility can be greatly alleviated unless disaster is constantly replaced by shoulder. Enough to be able to cope with a generic shape that has modified the adult flesh.
Two, a contract that shapes the surgeon. This was accomplished through Lewis' applied research. The surgeon can temporarily create a contractual state by taking in part of the flesh of the shapes. If they are as compatible as Lewis and Royce, they will stay connected for a long time, but in a generic form that has transformed an adult human being, they will run out in a small amount of time transferring damage. It was more convenient for Robert to use the potion as an alternative.
And the third. Being an unconscious meat doll --.
************************************************************
"Hih, hih! Oh, my God, what's with the soitula! I don't like it, I need your help. I'll do anything!
The Labyrinth Crusaders were crusading against the King of the Cursed Snake (King Basilisk). Exactly then, one of the criminal slaves brought into the Agwinas family, the bandit who woke up from Robert's Sleeping Orders, shouted so when he saw the shapes sleeping in the tank. He is a bandit who jumped at Jack Nielenberg on Robert's orders.
"Anything? That's right, we don't have enough people at home for the rough stuff. If you plan well, don't use it as an ingredient."
Bandits follow Robert's suggestion with all the help of heaven.
The huge tank lined up in the black room had a pattern all over his body, a human, no meat doll, that had produced several tubes. Their heads are exposed. It must be to remove the skull. The scalp peeled like the skin of a fruit was dripping in front of him, covering his face like a blindfold.
Bandits who have killed many people have seen what is going on in human heads. So I know. A piece of the brain had been removed from the cradleless meat doll floating in the tank.
Govoli and tank meat dolls spew blood bubbles and tremble.
The meat doll shouldn't have been under any attack at the next moment, but his stomach broke and his arm snapped with his leg making a beckoning noise.
The black room has become so hasty that the healing wizard-like humans treat the meat dolls, and the other technicians are manipulating the magic props beside them to send something through the tube to the meat dolls and adjust the water tank's medication.
"Silly, too rough to use. This won't last."
The next moment Robert shrugged, the technologists' efforts turned black and the body of the meat doll collapsed blurry like a slice of rotten meat.
************************************************************
Upon hearing Weishardt's report, Leonhardt sighed deeply.
"Is that what we were using………"
I don't think it's an evil law to spit on. However, it is also true that without new drugs, we could not reach the 53 tiers.
"So who were gathered as ingredients?
"Only half of Red woke up."
The other half took his breath as it was when he removed the tube. I guess they kept taking drugs that would force them to connect the rest of their lives and turn them into blood.
"I wonder if those who wake up with high doses of Demon Stone will still have some kind of disorder. All of them, identities are criminal slaves and lifelong slaves. It seems that people with physical deficiencies have been preferentially turned around to" red "materials, and less satisfied people are difficult to handle after treatment."
Labyrinth cities are not always understaffed, but there are not many jobs that can also be done for disabled or defective slaves, etc. It could just be a load of eating up the assets of the Agwinas family who lost their source of income saying they were selling new drugs.
"What about 'black'?
To Leonhardt's question, Weishardt shakes his head quietly.
"The Nielenberg Therapeutic Technician put an end to it."
"Is that so............. Also, you made me do an unpleasant job......"
It can be said that the disturbance over the Agwinas family ended without progressing and causing damage as Weishardt thought. But the fact that it came out bright left a lump in the hearts of the brothers of the Schusenwald family.
Because they couldn't deny the last word Robert said, "Without an alchemist, you would have known 'ingredients' and continued to use new drugs."
************************************************************
Nielenberg hurries home on fresh snow.
By the time I had finished my work and instructed my subsequent men who had arrived at the Agwinas family to work, the night had completely dawned.
The snow has stopped at some point and the completely white stained city seems like a place I don't even know where.
Approaching the house, one snowball flew in.
I know who did it. Dark hair is slightly visible from the stone walls of a slightly hidden bend. I take it lightly by hand without avoiding it.
"Welcome home, Dad! It's late, Snowman. I made it so much."
Turning the corner in the direction of the house, Sherry, wearing a yarn hat deep in his eyes, points to the snowman's lined tip.
Her skin is as white and beautiful as snow on her right and left.
Dark hair is burnt down and hasn't grown yet, but the season is just winter, so you can hide it enough with your hat, and it will stretch quickly to bring out her face.
The snow that had fallen was sparkling and brilliant reflecting the morning sun, announcing to Nielenberg a new day's visit.
