Chapter 208: Chapter 7: Evil Dragon_2
The more of the corpse’s soul mory that remains, the higher the level the corpse can potentially reach after cultivation, and of course, the greater the difficulty of cultivation. Since Kor’s corpse was instantly hit by the Divine Sappan Wood Arrow and its paralytic toxicity paralyzed the corpse’s body in an extre mont, including the brain, it could be said to be a remarkably well-preserved corpse. Kor also used the Cosmic Bag to preserve this body perfectly, and with the body’s excellent abilities in life, it beca an exceptional material for cultivation. However, precisely because this material was too good, to successfully cultivate this corpse, the energy required and the demands for Necromancy as well as so auxiliary materials were quite high. This compelled Kor to continuously delve into Necromancy while finding ways to procure so auxiliary materials to enhance his communication with the corpse. It seems the resentful spirit energy that Kor once felt inside the Damarlinsk Castle was one of the best-suited auxiliary materials.
“Hmm, Lord, there’s no doubt that there are many undead creatures here, and according to what Mr. Rebry said, there should also be intangible wronged souls or wraiths beneath the castle, what we in the magic community commonly refer to as ghosts or charming spirits, and what laypeople call phantoms,” said the Thin and Dry Magician, shrugging and showing off his knowledge sowhat boastfully. “This phenonon occurs when the human body dies under extrely special circumstances, and these ghosts or phantoms can’t yet be called undead creatures since they have lost their hosts. They only exist in this world due to certain specific circumstances. These things might be a scourge for most people, but for a Necromancer with superior magic skills, they are rare specins for experintation.”
The Thin and Dry Magician’s words struck right at the heart of Kor’s interest. In fact, Kor had also guessed that there must be creatures different from ordinary undead beneath Damarlinsk Castle, because the cold sensation brought to his own soul when confronting them outside the castle was definitely not sothing ordinary zombies or skeletons could induce. These creatures were quite cunning, hiding when the situation turned adverse, much stronger than those unintelligent skeletons and zombies by countless tis. Moreover, it appeared that the undead creatures hiding beneath the castle were also being controlled by these ghosts or charming spirits. The Thief Zombie he controlled, although greatly improved through his training, still required constant ntal direction for adjusting its attack thods in practical use. They might possess subconscious or mory-residual instinctual responses, but they could not truly possess intelligence and judgnt. If he could capture and subdue these ghosts or charming spirits to integrate with his zombie, that would be a real innovation in the magic world. Kor was already envisioning this slightly distant future. Of course, this plan was still just an idea, and even Kor was not sure if it was feasible, but it certainly was a worthwhile direction to strive for.
“Hehe, Lord, you seem quite interested in undead creatures, how about we exchange insights soti?” the Slender Mage said, hearing Kor inquire about the undead inside the castle, his green eyes suddenly sparkling with interest at the topic.
“Mr. Mihailovich, I’ve heard you have a deep understanding of illusory magic and necromantic manipulation. I would also like to discuss these topics with you, but I’ve indeed been too busy recently, as you know. However, I think we have plenty of ti. Damarlinsk Castle has plenty of secrets waiting for us to explore. Maybe we can even go to the eastern Nether Sea to look for the treasure of the Wicked Dragon, or visit the Volt Mountain Range to see the wonders left behind by the dwarfs. What do you think?” Kor was eager to firmly tie these wandering mages to Caucasus, for they represented a third force that belonged neither to the Church of Light nor the Sacred Wings Magic Guild. Although they were scattered across the Continent with little interaction among themselves, they had few entanglents with the politics of the Continent’s countries and forces. They were the ideal subjects for Kor to recruit and win over. Since Mr. Rebry had brought them to Caucasus, how could Kor pass up this opportunity?
“Hehe, Lord, the Wicked Dragon’s treasure is just sothing that ordinary people pursue. I’m not an adventurer and have no great interest in it. Of course, the goods on the Wicked Dragon indeed are necessary for refining many treasures. However, although Mihailovich is arrogant, he isn’t so reckless as to have a life-and-death struggle with the Wicked Dragon. The formidable strength of the Wicked Dragon cannot be dealt with by three or five mages. Without a comprehensive and feasible plan, any rash action is courting death. As for those wonders left behind by the dwarfs, if they are real, that might be interesting. The dwarfs certainly created many wonders during their heyday and left behind much material and immaterial wealth. Especially their forging and slting techniques—many of which are now lost—if we could uncover them, it would greatly enhance the current slting and forging technologies. For us, it would be very helpful for refining special weapons and protective equipnt, as well as various magical instrunts.”
