Chapter 174: High imitations drive original manufacturers

to death Just do it.

Thor inflicted a fourth wound on himself and collected a little blood and muscle tissue.

Then he prepared the basic materials for making candles, added the juice of companion flowers, flesh and blood, and a little bit of cut candles, and remade a complete new candle.

The appearance of this candle is similar to the candle on the candlestick, but because of the addition of flesh and blood tissue, the candle turns from white to red.

"I've diluted it as much as I can, but it's still so red. Should I extract serum or some other colorless tissue?"

Although there was a problem with the color of the first finished product, Thor still planned to try it first.

He fixed the candle on the table and threw a small flame at the wick.

But after the small flame passed over the candle wick, it failed to ignite it.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the material of the candle that affects its flammability? Wait!"

Thor took out the lamp lighter again, stood up and walked away for a distance, aiming the nozzle at the candle wick.

“Swish!”

This time, the red candle was lit successfully, and the wick burned with a pale flame! "Is it exactly the same as the flame on the candlestick?" Thor carefully compared it with the candlelight above his head and smiled in surprise.

"I succeeded in one try? Am I such a genius?"

After a brief moment of joy, Thor calmed himself down again.

"After all, the main ingredients are substitutes, and the accompanying flower juice does not meet the requirements, so the actual efficacy may be much worse..."

Suddenly, Thor shuddered and goose bumps appeared all over his body as if they had their own consciousness.

He turned around in shock and saw that the shelves behind him were full of people! They were all the corpses outside! These guys moved behind Thor without knowing when. Some of them squeezed into the corridor between the shelves, while some did not squeeze into the corridor and could only stand behind the shelves, "watching" Thor through the gaps between the goods.

But Thor had a hunch that they were staring at the candle in his hand.

Just a moment of distraction, the swarm of zombies seemed to be closer to him.

Thor acted decisively, picked up the knife on the table and extinguished the candle.

As a wisp of green smoke rose from the burnt candle wick, the strange feeling of being stabbed in the back gradually disappeared.

Thor looked back again and keenly noticed that the corpses were getting closer to him.

Although their faces were still expressionless and their eyes were closed, Thor could sense a sense of disappointment from them.

Although Thor was certain that they did have some consciousness in the past, he had never seen them move on their own initiative.

Unexpectedly, he was exposed because of the red candle.

Thor looked at the candle in his hand and thought to himself, "Could I have come up with something extraordinary?"

"What???"

A female voice suddenly sounded above Thor's head.

He looked up and saw a black shadow emerging from the roof little by little, and a woman's figure gradually extended from the sticky water droplet shape.

Finally, the black shadow completely broke free from the roof and fell to the ground, almost overlapping with Thor when landing.

"Mrs. Euler?"

"Don't call me Youla, call me Winnie!" The shadow said unhappily, but she quickly passed over the matter and sniffed left and right with her face whose features could not be seen clearly, "Where did the smell just now go?"

smell?

Thor looked down at the red candle beside him, he didn't smell anything.

The black shadow immediately noticed that Thor's gaze had shifted, and followed his gaze, seeing a red candle.

"This is... you who did it?"

Winnie's shadow came closer, and she squatted down, folded her hands on the table, and let herself look at the candle level.

"I feel its smell is calming." The shadow seemed to raise his head, "Can you light it again?"

"calm?"

Strange, Thor didn't add anything to soothe the soul's emotions.

Even the companion flower juice that the white candle might have originally possessed to stabilize its spiritual body was diluted several times by Thor.

Logically speaking, the effect should be worse than the original candle.

But Winnie showed no reaction to the other lit candles in the warehouse.

"Vinnie, these guys will come rushing up when I light the candle."

Thor pointed at the group of zombies still "wandering" around the shelves behind him.

The shadow looked back and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, they came here just because they feel comfortable. As long as you don't break the taboo, they won't hurt you. Hurry up, hurry up..."

Hearing Winnie's assurance, Thor picked up the lamplighter and relit the red candle.

A ray of white light lit up faintly.

The warehouse became quiet.

Both the living and the dead stared at the candlelight in a daze.

Thor didn't smell anything, nor did he feel very calm. He looked around and found that the group of corpses didn't come closer, but each of them was facing the red candle, with a little less gloomy and a little more intoxicated on their faces.

"We can't let them know that the raw material is part of my blood." Thor raised his hand and pressed it on the wound covered by his sleeve with some uneasiness. "They didn't react much to my wound, but they were very concerned about the red candle. This should be some kind of witchcraft reaction that caused a qualitative change."

"But why can my blood trigger this effect? ​​My left eye can heal automatically. Is it also related to this change in my body?"

The only change in Thor's memory related to his entire body was the experience of his entire body melting unconsciously after he defeated the evil spirit Morton.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Senior Byron told him about this afterwards. Otherwise, Thor himself would still be unaware of the melting.

Later, when Senior Byron examined him, he did not find the reason for the body's fusion and recovery. There might have been pursuers behind the sailboat at the time, so this matter had to be put aside for the time being.

After returning to the wizard tower, Thor did not find anything abnormal in his body, but now it seems that the experience still had a significant impact on him. It is just that it is not known whether it is good or bad, and whether there are other disadvantages.

Thor was worried about the changes in his body, but Winnie was staring at the red candle obsessively. She even sat on the ground with her arms on the table and her head resting on her arms.

He looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"Why can you make candles like this, but Gorza can only make smelly white wax? I say, he doesn't understand the soul at all."

Faced with Winnie's complaints about the tower master, Thor could only rub his nose and pretend he heard nothing.

But Winnie continued, even introducing Gorsa's life.

"Gorza had just built the Wizard Tower not long ago. The situation in the western continent was complicated. People who escaped from the No Man's Land established the Baidong Academy on the coast. With their backs to the sea, they ignored the Western Treaty and always secretly bullied the Principality of Kerma, wanting to further expand the territory of their academy..."

In order to avoid the loss of territory and the tragic end of national destruction, the then king of Kerma sent people to inquire about the backgrounds of the wizards who had newly entered the western continent, hoping to find a reliable force to form an alliance with.

Who would have thought that as soon as the news was released, the newly moved in wizard tower master Gorsa came to the door and took the initiative to ask for an alliance.

At that time, many forces settled in the Western Continent. Gorza settled there alone, but he carved up a large piece of territory.

It is said that his family is quite powerful in another continent, so the forces that settled in the western continent together do not dare to actively fight with him.

"The people of the Kema Empire must have been deceived by him back then." Winnie tilted her head, a little indignant in her tone, "Gorza must have been exiled by his family. No one from other forces has come to look for him for so many years. He felt guilty, so he sought an alliance with Kema."

"So that's why the tower master married Lady Youla at that time?"

“…That’s not the case.”

King Kma, who had been downgraded to a principality, took the initiative to lower his profile in order to form an alliance with Gorza, who seemed to have a powerful background.

In addition to providing supplies to the Wizard Tower every year, they also want to carry out the most common marriage between nobles.

But Gorsa refused the marriage and asked the principality to send people to help him manage his territory, as long as tribute was paid on time every year.

Thor was a little surprised, but then he felt that it was something the tower master could do.

If Gorza was really alone when he came to the western region, he certainly would not have the energy or mind to deal with any internal affairs of the territory.

But Thor didn't expect that he was unwilling to even find an agent and directly returned the large tracts of territory to the original owner.

The Principality of Kerma must be delighted.

Even if he only manages part of the territory, the profits can help the Principality of Kerma recover.

"Then how did Lady Yula marry the Tower Master?" Thor was not really gossiping, but Lady Yula's death was obviously related to Gorsa's real purpose.

Is it a study to resurrect a loved one, or an experiment to fight pollution?

Only by clarifying the content and purpose of the research can the experimental process be planned correctly.

"At that time, Youla was already a first-level official wizard, majoring in dark elements and obsessed with soul research." Winnie's face was always facing the red candle, as if she was fascinated. "And Gorza majored in light elements. As soon as they met, they quarreled over a topic."

Thor pricked up his ears immediately, "What topic?"

"Can the soul... exist independently of the body?"
