Chapter 180: The Underworld Calls for the Dead! The Digger!



After Levi finished his work, he went to Teacher Meilin's room.

"Teacher, I'm going on a long trip and may not be able to teach in the next two or three months." Li Wei said.

"Are we going to the Loess Continent you mentioned before?" Meilin asked softly while looking down at a book.

"Yes, teacher. I have a friend over there. I'm going to meet him and do some things there."

Mai Lin raised her head and asked, "I see. By the way, the tower master has come out of retreat and is looking for you. Go check it out."

Levi nodded when he arrived at the seventh floor of the White Tower.

The tower owner was fiddling with a small box that looked a bit like the black box on an airplane.

Levi knew that the tower master seemed to be studying some kind of soul transplantation technology from the School of Death. He wanted to upload the soul into a life box similar to that of a lich. Through this method, he could become a complete alchemical creature and completely abandon the human brain.

This is definitely a dangerous attempt, but the tower master is extremely stubborn and cannot be persuaded no matter what. Perhaps it has something to do with the person hidden deep in his memory.

"Levi, how have you been doing with alchemy and magic arrays recently?" asked the tower master.

"Tower Master, I have already mastered all those first-ring alchemy and alchemical runes you gave me before. As for magic arrays, I can only refine some zero-ring magic arrays now." Levi told the truth.

"Yes, you did a great job with the magic array. I also heard that you installed a magic array in the small garden in the tower. You did a great job. After you advance to a first-ring magic array wizard, you can help refine and set up some useful first-ring magic arrays in the tower. By then, your reward will not be less." said the tower master.

"Okay, Tower Master." Levi said.

Although he has been busy with breathing and meditation techniques in recent years, the speed at which he gains experience in magic arrays has slowed down a lot.

However, his magic array skill is only one or two thousand levels away from the fourth level of proficiency. Basically, he can reach the fourth level by the end of this year or early next year. By then, he can become a genuine first-level magic array wizard and learn several key magic arrays, such as the "Shadowless Trace Magic Array" that can ambush enemies and evade tracking.

"But I asked you to come this time because I heard that you were going to the Loess Continent. I would like to ask you to do me a favor while you are there." said the tower master.

"Master, please tell me. I will do my best within my ability," said Li Wei.

In the Gray Tower, the tower master is the absolute authority, and Levi has no right to refuse. Moreover, the tower master treats Levi well, so Levi can't refuse.

But if it is beyond his ability, he naturally cannot make blind promises.

"My wife is from the Loess Continent. Her family is a local wizard family with some power. I met her when I was still a wizard apprentice. However, her family disagreed with us being together. They believed that there was no future for her to be with me, and they wanted to marry her to the Yanwang Aisidi family, one of the three major families in the Loess Continent.

Eventually, my wife betrayed her family for me and broke off relations with her clan. Until her death, she never returned to her family in the Loess Continent.

Later I heard that the family my wife belonged to had fallen into decline due to some changes. Their family used to be a second-ring wizard organization with a second-ring wizard in charge, but now there may not even be a first-ring wizard. Perhaps it won’t be long before this family will perish.

I don’t care whether they perish or not, but I learned from my wife that although their family is small, they secretly control the entrance coordinates of a small secret realm of resources, which opens once every two hundred years.

The last time it was opened, she had gone in with her tribesmen, but they were attacked by supernatural creatures, so she and her tribesmen separated and fled. Acting alone, she accidentally discovered an extremely rare [Seven-Day Resurrection Grass] in a cold pond in a deep valley of the secret realm. It was a seven-ring herb and a real treasure that would drive high-level wizards crazy upon seeing it.

Unfortunately, the [Seven Days Resurrection Grass] was not mature at that time. Now, two hundred years have passed, the grass should have grown, and the door to the secret realm will be opened in three months. When you go to the Loess Continent, you can also visit the Kelin family where my wife is. Whether it is coercion or inducement, you must enter the secret realm and take out the [Seven Days Resurrection Grass]. "

After hearing this, Levi's expression changed. He asked, "Tower Master, do you want this to revive your...lover?"

As a pharmacist, Levi had naturally heard of the legendary Seven-Day Resurrection Grass. This was a magical plant that almost only existed in legends. No one expected that it would actually grow in a small secret realm.

This seven-ring herb is more precious than many eight-ring or even nine-ring herbs because it has a legendary function, which is... bringing the dead back to life.

So the first thing Levi thought about was what the tower master was going to do.

The tower master nodded: "That's right."

"Tower Master, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this task is too difficult. For such an important matter, it would be more appropriate for you to go by yourself. After all, you are a three-ring being, and I am only a one-ring wizard..." Levi said with some embarrassment.

After all, if he failed to do it, wouldn't it mean that it was because of his incompetence that the tower master failed to resurrect his lover?

Levi cannot bear such consequences.

Even if the tower master does not blame him, Levi will still feel guilty if he fails.

The tower master seemed to have expected Levi to say this: "The Seven-Day Resurrection Grass only increases my chances of resurrecting my wife. It is not absolutely useful, nor is it necessary. Don't have too much psychological burden. Besides, it is unknown whether there is still Seven-Day Resurrection Grass in the secret realm. After all, two hundred years have passed. It is possible that it has been eaten by some extraordinary creatures in the secret realm.

I have another more important thing to do. During these years of seclusion, I have been studying the inheritance of the death faction I got from Harant. Just a few days ago, I have mastered the method of entering the hell plane.

This is why I came out of retreat recently. I will enter the Hell Plane soon to look for another thing, the [Soul-Calling Flower of the Other Shore]. With this thing, I have a greater chance of summoning my wife's soul from the legendary underworld with the knowledge I have learned from the major factions in the past two hundred years.

I have already prepared an alchemical body for her, and a soul box to carry her soul. As long as I call her soul from the underworld, we can be reunited!"

The tower master became more and more excited as he spoke. His body rolled on the ground and circled around Levi. Then he showed Levi the alchemical body he had made for his wife.

It was another ball...but it was much smaller. It was next to the tower master, like the moon orbiting the earth.

Li Wei thought to himself, "Master, why is your aesthetic so different from others? Do you like being a ball so much?"

Even if the Tower Master's wife was resurrected, she would probably not be satisfied with the body that the Tower Master had created...

But no matter what, the tower master has said this, and Levi can't refuse.

"After resurrecting my wife, I may go to the Sea of ​​Stars with her. Then it's okay for you to be the tower master, hehe." The tower master said with a smile.

"No, no, no, Tower Master, don't joke around. I'm not fit to be the Tower Master." Li Wei thought to himself that he would not take on such a heavy burden.

But he still had a question in his mind, so he asked.

"Tower Master, summoning souls back from the underworld may not be possible even for high-level wizards. This may be a field that only great wizards or even legendary wizards can get involved in. Are you sure?" Levi asked, very skeptical.

The tower master said, "I definitely can't do a normal underworld soul summoning. The underworld in the legend is a place on the same level as the astral world. The powerful beings there are no weaker than the gods. With my meager knowledge and realm, how can I summon my wife from the endless [Netherworld Mother River] in the underworld? Even with the [Seven Days Soul-Returning Grass] and [Other Shore Soul-Recalling Flower], it won't work. But my wife's soul is different."

The tower master didn't know when he took out a broken brain from his chest where his heart was, which looked like it was sealed in amber.

When Levi looked at it, this brain... was still trembling slightly, which was extremely weird.

"This is my wife's brain. After she was killed, I picked up her head that was cut off by the enemy, collected the only piece of brain lobe left, and sealed it in a container made of special materials. I originally just wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but many years later, I found that this brain was still trembling slightly... I was shocked that the brain of a person who had died long ago was still moving after so many years.

After in-depth research, I discovered that there was actually a remnant of my wife's soul left in this brain. According to the definition of many scholars in the School of Death, as long as the soul is not dead, the person is not dead, so to some extent, my wife is not dead, and she still has a trace of soul left in the world.

After a hundred years of observation, I found that the soul fluctuations that remained in this brain were becoming weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

If this remnant soul is extinguished, then unless I become a legendary wizard, have the qualifications and power to communicate with the beings in the underworld, enter the underworld openly, and find my wife's confused soul on the [Mother River of the Underworld], otherwise, no one can summon it.

So, I can't wait any longer, I have to give it a try whether I can succeed or not.

Now I have clues about the Seven-Day Soul-Returning Grass and the Other Shore Soul-Recalling Flower. With these two rare things from heaven and earth, plus the help of my most respected teacher Salman, I don't think it is impossible to succeed.

It is extremely rare for such a person to have a residual soul left in the human world after death. Before becoming a high-level wizard and before the birth of a Yuanhun, the death of the body means that the soul will leave the human world and enter the underworld.

The soul can stay in the world for only seven minutes. I think my wife may have some undiscovered second talent or special physique, otherwise this situation would not be possible, and no one can force the soul of the dead to stay in the world.

Therefore, others cannot summon spirits, but perhaps with the right time, right place, and right people, I can do it!"

The tower master said excitedly, the whole sphere was shaking and making a buzzing sound of steam. He had been preparing for this day for too long.

Levi pondered inwardly, and he felt that there was something that could keep the soul in the world in another form.

That is... the sacred scorpion.

This is a kind of alien insect that can devour souls.

In the legends of some civilizations, the sacred scorpion is closely related to the legendary scarab beetle in the underworld.

However, it is obvious that although the souls devoured by the sacred armor scorpion remain in the human world, it is better for them to return to the underworld, because their souls have become the nourishment for the sacred armor scorpion's evolution, and there is no possibility of resurrection.

In the end, Levi could only say: "Tower Master, I will try my best to complete the mission successfully this time! I also hope that you will return triumphantly from the Hell Plane!"

With the power of the tower master, he could only go to the third level of hell at most. The soul-calling flower on the other side sounded like a very precious thing, and it was not necessarily found in a place like the third level of hell. Of course, the tower master must have found some clues if he dared to go in, otherwise he would not take such a risk.

Levi could also see that the reason why the tower master was so eager to improve his strength and even turned into an alchemical creature was because he wanted to resurrect his wife before her remaining soul disappeared.

It is hard to imagine that there is such persistent love in the wizarding world. This is something Levi cannot understand at this stage.

What he considered to be a weakness seemed to be regarded as the most precious thing by the tower master...

Maybe this is love.

Helplessly, Levi left the Gray Tower. Before leaving, the tower master gave Levi an extremely precious alchemical creature blueprint as a reward for Levi's action.

When Levi saw the introduction to this alchemical creature drawing, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"The first-ring alchemical creature, the Corpse Digger. It is the strongest first-ring alchemical creature. There is a record of a first-ring wizard from the alchemical school using the Corpse Digger to kill a second-ring wizard."

"The main materials needed for refining are: corpses of powerful humanoid creatures, preferably giants or trolls; a large amount of mithril and azure, and the higher the proportion of azure, the better; in addition, three different types of first-ring alchemical formula combinations are needed, one for defense, one for speed, and one for attack, as well as a number of first-ring alchemical artillery..."

Levi looked at the final design of the alchemical creature on the alchemical drawing.

It was an alchemical creature that was over five meters tall and weighed over fifty tons. It held a giant axe in its right hand and a giant round shield in its left hand. Its body was covered with bloodstained plate armor and hideous metal spikes, revealing a savage and bloodthirsty aura.

It is said that during the Civilization War, these alchemical creatures would be placed on the battlefield to collect the bodies of the enemy... hence the name "Corpse Diggers". They would capture the enemy, impale them on their spikes one by one, and nail them to death. Then, with the bodies all over their bodies, they would fight on the battlefield without any resistance.

The moment he saw the appearance of this alchemical creature, Levi knew that this was the alchemical creature he wanted!

This rough, terrifying and hideous style of the painting is like a Warhammer 40k mecha. Levi can imagine the scene after he makes it, where this big guy tears apart a first-ring wizard with his bare hands and fights against a second-ring wizard.

Equivalent to another...monster Levi.

"I'll start refining it after I come back from the Loess Continent. I'll have this thing guarding Black Fire Island in the future, and I'll kill anyone who comes. And I can also innovate and try to condense the rune words of [Power] and [Hermit] into this big guy, so that this big guy can gain even more terrifying power increase and invisibility talent. It's so cool."

Levi took the newly acquired drawings, said goodbye to Teacher Malin, and hurried back to Blackfire Island.

But just after returning to Black Fire Island, before Levi even got on the island, when he was about ten kilometers away from the island, he felt something was wrong, within the perception range of his Black Snake Letter.

There was a familiar aura lingering in his cave.

Levi's memory suddenly went back to two years ago.

When he was in Hot Wind City, he remembered that there was an aura between the first and second rings beside Doge, which gave him a strong sense of danger. It was suspected to be a second-ring wizard. At that time, Levi waited until the other party left before taking action.

Now I didn’t expect that this person would actually run into my cave?

"The opponent might be a second-ring existence. Although my strength has increased dramatically now, I'd better not confront him head-on before my breathing method reaches the twelfth level or the second-ring."

Reason told Levi that there was only one life and there was no resurrection after death. Reality was not an online novel. Even if he had many trump cards, he should leave the challenge of higher-level opponents to the protagonists in the novels.

He has someone behind him, and with the Gray Tower, he can easily mobilize people.

No, it's shaking the snake!

"I'll go find Yorman right now! If you have the guts, just stay in my house and don't run away!"

Levi hid in a faraway place, speechless. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation, but fortunately he went out, otherwise he would have to fight with Erhuan, and his life might be in danger.

Just like that, Levi left the gray tower and ran back in a hurry.

The tower master looked at Li Wei who had returned, his little head full of doubts: "Why are you back again?"

Levi said helplessly: "Tower Master, I want to borrow Yorman to help me fight. Don't worry, it will definitely be a winnable battle, and Yorman will not be hurt."

"What enemy?" asked the tower master.

"A dark wizard, possibly a second-ring being. I can't defeat him by myself, so I want Yorman to help me." Levi said.

"Do you need me to ask Mylene to help?"

"No need, Yorman is enough."

"Okay, go ask Yorman if he agrees. I can't make the decision for him." The tower master said with a smile.

"Okay."

Levi hurried to the first floor and patted the head of the resting Yorman. Yorman opened his eyes, stared at Levi with a pair of light golden vertical pupils, and spit out his tongue.

"Yorman, it must be boring staying in here every day." Levi squinted and smiled.

Yorman nodded his snake head in agreement.

"Then I'll take you to kill someone."

Levi grinned, spit out his snake tongue, and his voice was cold and cruel.
