Chapter 1063 285: The Senior's Second Confession and the Night of Dancing, The Whereabouts of Ophie's Body (10K)_6
Kael snapped back to reality, nodded, and seriously gave his promise, saying: "Mm."
Then Kael ran towards the door, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Senior Sister Lily shout at him from afar:
"Kael..."
When called, Kael turned around to see Lily facing his direction out of the corner of her eye, she cupped her hands around her mouth like a little megaphone, and shouted loudly towards him:
"You big scumbag!"
"Don't mimic the speech of those Undead!" Kael laughed back, scolding: "Anyway, don't think you can escape."
...
Leaving the dance scene, the smile on Kael's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a profound look in his eyes.
He muttered to himself: "With this, the final preparations are complete, and I can finally... settle the final score with you all."
Soon, he arrived at the side of the carriage delivering urgent packages. After receiving the relevant information from Lancaster Territory from the staff, he frowned slightly as he looked at the details recorded in the letter.
"This group of people, they just never stop, do they!"
A trace of a cold smile flashed in Kael's eyes.
The message in the letter was about the information relayed from the former War Mage Academy in Lancaster Territory.
Kael's student, who had been transferred from the Secret Scroll Mage Academy to the War Mage Academy, had been following his senior student Anderson and suddenly disappeared into the vast forest, and his whereabouts hadn't been found a day later.
Kael pondered for a moment, then contacted Old White who was still guarding the territory. When the Communication Crystal lit up, he asked:
"Grandpa White, what's going on here? I remember I reminded the academy long ago to be sure to tell the students not to leave Titan City due to recent events. Even if they must go out, it should only be after prior notification and with a complete team, right?"
Old White heard this, showing a helpless expression, and said: "Young master, the academy had already informed the teachers and students about this a long time ago, but some unexpected situations still occurred."
"What situation?"
Old White said in a deep voice: "A message came from Miss Ophie on the side of the forest; the patrolling Ranger found news of something suspected to be Miss Ophie's corpse."
Kael furrowed his brow and said: "Suspected?"
A hint of malice flashed in Old White's eyes, his voice becoming significantly colder as he said in a deep voice: "When Miss Ophie was found, her body was incomplete, with her entire head missing. Judging by the remaining traces, the place where Miss Ophie's body was found might not even be the primary scene of the murder."
"The head is missing?"
Kael instinctively furrowed his brow, then continued to ask: "Did you bring the body back?"
Old White nodded, then showed a puzzled expression on his face: "What's particularly strange to us is why take off Ophie's head."
Kael said in a deep voice: "It's probably because of me, right? Given the characteristics of the Incubus race, it's not difficult for a Necromancer to extract and condense Ophie's soul. What they want is to prevent me from identifying their true identity after finding Ophie's head. No, there's probably an element of provocation, after all, some people now don't dare to stand out openly, so they can only hide in the dark and play some tricks, right?"
"That is indeed possible." Old White sighed and said: "After Miss Ophie was found, her entire state was very strange."
"Strange?"
"Yes, for some unknown reason, the enemy directly stitched a wooden horse head onto Miss Ophie's neck. If it weren't for someone in the group recognizing Miss Ophie's outfit, they wouldn't even know who the deceased was."
Kael paused for a moment, squinting his eyes and then said:
"Is Anderson trying to go to the site of Ophie's body to see the situation?"
Old White, seeing the young master's expression like this, couldn't help but realize that the young master was now angry, he lowered his head slightly and said:
"Hard to say."
"Anderson stole your collection from the academy."
"My collection in the academy should only consist of books, right?" Kael furrowed his brow.
"Yes, Anderson stole the 'Annotated Book of the Dead · Selection 13' by Necromancy Monarch Rudelson, which you bought at a high price."
This time, Kael's expression really began to change: "That's a forbidden book; there's no way to obtain resurrection and immortality through the normal way outlined in the 'Annotated Book of the Dead."
The 'Book of the Dead' is a work by the master of the Necromancy School, Sandrew, also the first book Kael came into contact with while studying Necromancy.
Comparatively, the 'Book of the Dead' is a proper entry-level textbook for Necromancers. Its detailed and progressive explanations are among the best Kael had seen across various Magic Schools' textbooks.
It can be said that the deeper one goes into the field of Necromancy, the more one will understand why people say Sandrew is the eternal master of the Necromancy School.
Truly laying down a theoretical foundation.
And the Necromancy Monarch Rudelson, was an infamous magic monarch from hundreds of years ago, who could do anything in his quest to study the true essence of the Undead and used various forbidden spells countless times.
Later, for reasons unknown to anyone, the Necromancy Monarch Rudelson began a frenzy known as the {Undead Catastrophe}, where countless Undead creatures formed a roaming dead army.
This situation continued until several churches participated in the extermination of Rudelson, marking his soul with the fire of soul draining, hanging him on the Wall of the Betrayer in the Kingdom of the Death God, blowing the Death Storm for 1000 years to destroy his soul, finally bringing an end to this episode.
Although Rudelson's deeds were incredibly insane, from the perspective of posterity, Rudelson acquired a large number of corpses and amassed a full range of research materials in Necromancy in the shortest time. In the years of the Undead Catastrophe outbreak, he delved frighteningly deep into the field of Necromancy.
So much so that...
Even the hand-copied edition he left behind, 'Annotated Book of the Dead · Selection 1-13', became the focus of all Necromancers.
And Selection 13 talked about...
Resurrection, and Immortality!
