"I'm afraid I don't know. The medical skills I learned are still very rudimentary. I can't determine the reason why Her Royal Highness is in a coma, and naturally I don't know how long it will take for her to wake up."
Vanya continued to respond. Listening to her words, Dorothy controlled the puppet to turn around and look at the only survivor at the scene in front of Vanya, and then continued to let the puppet search around Barrett.
During the search, Dorothy found a snuff bottle-shaped, damaged and unknown extraordinary object. After examining it, she returned it. Finally, Dorothy asked the corpse bird to pick up a piece of clothing soaked in Barrett's blood and a broken pen, and gave it to the corpse bird on its shoulder, letting it grab it and fly to the exit.
"Vanya, the ordinary guards outside will be here soon. Remember, from now on you are the first person to discover this scene. It was you who rescued the princess from the critical situation and saved her from life-threatening danger. Do you understand?"
After releasing the corpse bird, Dorothy asked the guard corpse to turn around and say to Vanya that she had confirmed that everyone around was dead except Isabel. Dorothy used the puppet mark to confirm that Isabel was really unconscious, so she could directly arrange things for Vanya. Vanya on the other side was slightly stunned after hearing Dorothy's words, and then nodded.
"I am clear."
After hearing Vanya's words, Dorothy silently moved the guard corpse under her control to the side, then released the control, allowing it to return to its dead state and fall down.
…
Outside the Bishop's Square, in an alley opposite the Blue Street, Capac and Nephthys were standing inside. Capac looked around with a serious expression, while Nephthys was still wiping her mouth vigorously with her hand. Beside Nephthys, the Wilderness Soul Whiskers were floating leisurely.
In this dim alley, two "Silent" extraordinary people seemed to be waiting for something, and at this time there was a sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley. The two looked vigilantly, and saw a handsome young man wearing ordinary clothes, a short hat, and a scholarly look on his face. Seeing the appearance of this young man, Capac asked vigilantly.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Mr. Brandon?"
Before Capak could ask, Nephnesse at the side shouted to the blue-haired man in surprise that she had seen the blue-haired man before, and it was Dorothy's corpse doll Brandon.
"No, no, this is the bachelor's subordinate, one of us." Nephnis said to the vigilant Capac beside her, while Capac looked thoughtfully at the handsome young man walking towards him and couldn't help muttering.
"Mr. Bachelor's...subordinates?"
"You, the New World Shaman Apprentice who has come from afar, and Miss Thief, I am here to find you two on the orders of the Master. The Master has already made my purpose clear to you. We now need to perform a soul-summoning ritual to summon a soul. Mr. Shaman Apprentice, you know how to perform the soul-summoning ritual, right?"
Dorothy manipulated Brandon to look at Capac and speak, and Capac nodded in response.
“Yes, a shaman is a being that focuses on communicating with spirits. After I became a psychic, my teacher taught me how to summon spirits.
“For any spirit that has not yet completely returned to the Great Soul, I can try to summon it as long as there is a medium with a close enough connection.” Capac responded to Brandon. An ordinary summoning ceremony only required an apprentice-level "Silent" Extraordinary to perform it. Capac had a teacher who taught him step by step, so he knew the basics.
"This is the belongings of the soul I want to summon, as well as the pieces of clothing stained with his blood... These should be enough as a medium. He just died not long ago, so his spirit should not have returned to the Great Soul yet."
Brandon said this, and then took out a broken pen and a blood-stained piece of clothing from his pocket and gave them to Capac. Before, when Dorothy asked Capac about the key points of summoning the dead through the consultation channel, he mentioned that he needed a medium, so Dorothy found something on Barrett and gave it to Capac.
After receiving the medium from Brandon, Capak took it in his hands, examined it carefully for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"The blood of the newly dead can be said to be a very good medium. If a person's soul is not immediately buried after death, his soul will wander in confusion for a long time before reaching the great soul. If the person has just died, then the soul can definitely be summoned."
Capac said this. Listening to his words, Dorothy thought of the legend she had received from the Order of the Coffins before, which contained a description of the state of the soul after death.
'According to the legend of the Order of the Underworld, after a person dies, the soul will leave the body and enter a state they call 'seepage', gradually seeping into the inner world, and eventually completely leaving the real world and disappearing. In the shamanic theory of the soul, this process seems to be the process of returning to the great soul. After the soul returns to the body, it is equivalent to leaving the real world, and even summoning the soul becomes impossible.'
Dorothy thought with interest in her heart, and at the same time she manipulated Brandon to continue speaking to Capak.
"Now that you have a medium, you can now perform the spiritual ritual."
"Sir, we have the 'material medium', but we still lack the 'letter medium'."
To Dorothy's surprise, Capac continued to speak to Brandon. Dorothy was stunned listening to Capac's words.
"Letter media? What is that?"
"It requires the basic information of the soul being summoned, such as name, date and time of birth, place of birth, names of parents and even children and other close relatives. Generally, the more detailed the better.
"The role of the medium is to strengthen the connection between the spirit and the ritual. This requires not only objects but also information. Detailed information about the spirit before death is also an important part of the medium for summoning spirits."
Capac explained this to Brandon. Listening to Capac's words, Dorothy couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"Detailed information before death...name...birth time...relatives' names...shit...isn't this the same as asking for birth date? Does summoning spirits from another world also require this?"
"But I don't know this information about Barrett!? Although Barrett is a member of the royal family, this information should be public, but I don't have time to check it now!"
Dorothy thought about this. When she asked Capac what was needed for the necromancy, he only mentioned a medium. Dorothy thought that all she needed was the things on her body, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated.
"Is it okay if I just know the name?" Dorothy, who was a little embarrassed, asked Brandon to talk to Capak, and the other party frowned after hearing it.
"We only know the name... Tsk... This might be a bit difficult... Generally speaking, if we only know the name, the medium's connection might not be enough..."
Capac listened to Brandon's words with a puzzled tone. After thinking for a while without getting an answer, he spoke again.
"Mr. Brandon, please wait a moment. Let me ask my teacher first..."
As he spoke, Capac took out a short pipe from his pocket, lit it, took a deep puff, and exhaled a puff of white smoke, which then gradually condensed into a tangible object in the air.
