Chapter 35: Science and Sorcery

  He casually flipped through a few pages of "The Book of Gradual Death", but Rovi still didn't see the expected flash of Salo's memory fragments, so he could only go back and carefully flip through from page one again.

  "The Book of Gradual Death" contains line after line of experimental data filled with profound implications, using various numerical symbols that Rovin doesn't recognize, as well as all sorts of strange and unusual magical arrays.

  The only things Luo Wei could recognize were some insights and experimental conclusions of the magician Salo, who was inserted between the experimental data and the magic array, as well as the names of various casting materials scattered among the experimental data.

  It seems that the failure to revive his beloved wife who died of a split leg has left the magician Salo very disappointed with the "Book of Gradual Death" which records various data, so he chose to thoroughly forget it.

  Fortunately, although those experimental conclusions were written like a prescription by a Chinese doctor, and also like the murmurs of a madman, confusing and unclear, Luo Wei was able to read and understand them with ease.

  So, Rovin seemed to have seen a dark science freak who tried to prove his own eccentric ideas with rigorous magical scientific research and bloody human experiments.

  The first thirty pages, the research direction of the magician Salo, seemed to be still within the normal category of necromancy, but when Luo Wei flipped to the thirtieth page, he discovered unexpected content, because he saw such a passage -

  "By relying on necromancy, it is impossible to slow down the physical decay and death of a dying body. I must find another way to counteract it. Through experimentation, I found that the raw materials preserved by the Ice Magic are fresher than those not preserved, and freshness seems to be able to delay the arrival of death, perhaps this is a solution?"

  After reading this passage, Luo Wei nodded in agreement, because he was very clear that low-temperature freezing was indeed a way out, although low-temperature freezing had a hard wound.

  As he turned the page of "The Book of Gradual Death", Luo Wei saw another insight from the magician Salo: "No, the cold ice magic can only temporarily stop the pendulum of life, but it cannot delay the flow of life for even one second. This is fundamentally unable to maintain the gradually dying body until the child in Sarisa's belly is born! A new method must be found!"

  After this insightful experience, it was all sorts of experimental data and magic arrays. To save time, I chose to temporarily skip over the Luo Wei and flipped through three pages before finally seeing the next useful text.

  "I've found it! I've found it!! It turns out that the secret to the gradual death of the body is that the gradually dying flesh and blood cannot allow the smallest life particles that make up the body to continue splitting, while the young and vibrant living being's life particles will continuously split to fill in the positions left vacant by the old and dead life particles..."

  Vital particles?

  Luovi's eyes widened because based on his knowledge, the "life particles" that magician Salo was talking about were clearly human cells.

  This is unscientific...

  Sorcerer Salo, how did you discover living human body cells?

  Wasn't he the one who invented the microscope?

  This is simply Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's rhythm, the pioneer of microscopy and microbiology!

  With this doubt, Luo Wei hurriedly flipped back to look at Magician Salo's research records. Unfortunately, from the first few pages of flower magic array diagrams, there was nothing unusual.

  Helpless, Luo Wei could only muster up his spirits and carefully examine the records of two major discoveries from magician Salo: the discovery of human cells and the discovery that cell division keeps people young.

  Perhaps because he finally found the direction, magician Salo left more magical array diagrams on "The Book of Gradual Death", as well as records of various minerals, plants and living organ uses that match the magical array diagrams for magical experiments.

  "Test number 309 has proven effective! By adding the spellcasting material extracted from Salisa's skin, I have successfully induced slow but ultimately successful fission activity in those life particles that were previously unable to split! Now the only problem is that there is only one source of raw materials left - I must venture deep into the Emerald Forest to capture a sufficient number of unicorns with blood rich in magical and vital energy!"

  Test 309?

  Luo Wei pressed the diagram and found the magic circle diagram of Experiment No. 309 in "The Book of Gradual Death", as well as the casting materials that matched the magic circle diagram.

  "Flash Gold Magic Spring Water, Blood Essence of Beast Heart, New Leaf of the Tree of Life (Third Generation), Green Radiance Stone Core, Unicorn Blood..."

  Senkin Wizard Spring is one of the three divine springs with the most magical effects in the possession of the Hot Spring Sect. Long-term consumption can significantly prolong life, so its price is staggering.

  The source of the Blood Essence Beast's Heart is naturally the Blood Essence Beast. This magical demon beast can manipulate blood, and once its skin is broken and fresh blood flows out, it basically becomes a dry corpse.

  The area where the Blood Beasts roam is forbidden to humans. Even the young beasts' strength can compare to that of a human Silver Rank, and even if a group of Golden Rank swordsmen were to team up to hunt them down, they would still struggle to withstand the Blood Beasts' attacks, which wield fresh blood as their weapons. Traps and snares are nothing but a joke to these highly intelligent creatures.

  So the rarity of the Blood Essence Beast's heart can be imagined.

  The Tree of Life has new leaves, not to mention that the Tree of Life, revered as a sacred tree by the tree spirits, is only owned and protected by a small number of large tree spirit tribes. Which of these large tree spirit tribes does not have ten or eight golden arrow hands?

  According to legend, the Tree of Life only grows up to fifty new leaves every year. When it has grown a total of ten thousand leaves, the Tree of Life will have matured into a sacred tree for the Treant tribe, equivalent to having free priests and sterile hospitals.

  So wanting to get the new leaves of the Tree of Life is how difficult?

  The green jade core is even more unattainable. In each precious obsidian ore vein, at most only one or two green jade cores can be found.

  In the dwarven clan's legend, the green glowstone core is one of the three most beloved among the thirty-three precious stones cherished by Durin's Folk, and most especially loved by Kragnir.

  Unlike black onyx, which can be crafted into anti-magic performance excellent mage soldiers, green jadeite has an extremely close relationship with magic. The most amazing thing is that as long as a sufficient amount of magic power is input into the green jadeite, it will automatically convert any form of input magic power into natural spells that can heal wounds, "Nature's Touch".

  Thus, the value of the Green Luminous Stone Core also reached a level where it was hard to come by even with 100,000 gold.

  The last unicorn blood, as the descendant of the sacred unicorn loved by the goddess of dawn, capturing and collecting unicorn blood will be jointly pursued to death by the Tree Spirit Clan and the Holy Church of Radiance!

  So seeing this, Luo Wei basically also gave up, where could he get the above rare materials now?

  And even if it is obtained, in the end it can only prolong a dying body for a few more months, what's the point?

  Can't just honestly think of a way, become an undead overlord?

  Luoyi's mood was slightly depressed, and he put "The Book of Gradual Death" back beside the unconscious Xinxia.

  According to the intelligence already in Luo Wei's possession, Nai Se Re mining village had been swept clean by Hua Huang Qi Shi A Zhi Sha, who took a full three days to do it. Without Nai Se Re mining village, that zombie den, where else could they find the lair of the undead overlord to upgrade their zombie lord step by step?
