Chapter 534 Deep Death
Under the yellowish light of the kerosene lamp, Lumian looked at the notes Boorman had written because of his unstable mental state and his memory was often in a trance:
"After all people die, spirits return to the spirit world, except in special circumstances!
"If I can design a summoning spell that is accurate enough, then I can rely on the ability of the 'Necromancer' to summon Helen's spirit to reality.
"This is the first step to bring her back to life."
Seeing this, Lumian shook his head invisibly.
It would be nice if resurrection was that simple......
He turned to the next page:
"Newly acquired occult knowledge:
"In ancient times, wise creatures entered the underworld after death, and those who were particularly devout in faith or had made outstanding contributions could return to the heavenly kingdom corresponding to the gods, but in the fifth age, a large number of undead lingered outside the underworld.
"I'm not sure if Helen's spirit has entered the underworld or simply returned to the spirit world.
"Although the sea monster is very powerful, it does not have the ability to imprison souls, and there is no similar phenomenon in that sea area, so there is no need to consider special circumstances for the time being, and Helen is not a devout believer in the 'Eternal Sun'."
……
"I saw Helen again.
"But she has completely forgotten me.
"Her appearance, her body are blurring little by little, and in a few years, she will become like other undead.
"I won't have more than five years left.
"What can I do to awaken her consciousness and retrieve her memories, simply giving her a body that can carry the dead seems not enough."
……
"Don't forget the moonlight and waves of the lighthouse outside the city, which witnessed my proposal and Helen's nod."
……
"Don't forget the gasparo paella, Helen's favorite food, and every time we end our adventure and return to Port Farin, she will offer to eat it."
……
"Don't forget the sunset on Mount Andatna, where we met and promised each other to see it often in the future, even if we have become old men and ladies, we must not forget that romantic ......."
……
"Don't forget...... Don't forget ...... Don't forget ......"
……
"My head hurts."
……
"I destroyed a town and let two or three hundred people die.
"I didn't feel happy to see those couples, those parents, those children die.
"My heart is like sinking into darkness.
"I know this is my sin, I know that this is a mistake that can never be repaired, and I know that I am no longer the Boorman you like.
"But I don't regret it."
……
"Liar, damn it!
"Killing these liars made me feel happy after a long time."
……
"Helen, if you were still alive, we should have our own children now, right?
"Why do those evil wizards always like to use babies, children and their corpses to invent witchcraft and serve as key materials?
"I am more evil than them......"
……
"Helen, I can't find my way, all my attempts have failed."
……
"Helen, I want to collect the magic potion recipe and materials for 'Reaper' pathway sequence 5."
……
"Helen, Fidel stopped me, saying that it would cause me to completely turn into a monster and lose my original memory.
"Helen, I don't want to forget you.
"Helen, please forgive me for my cowardice."
……
"Helen, I actually met the islanders of Resurrection Island!
"There really is such an island!
"Harrison defeated me, but he didn't kill me, and he asked me why I was forcibly moving to the 'Reaper' path.
"He told me that all my previous attempts were wrong, and that the real resurrection was not that simple.
"He said that in the depths of death, there is a mark of each person, and only by bringing the corresponding mark to reality and reconstructing the spirit and flesh based on it can we achieve true resurrection, with the original cognition and complete memory.
"Helen, I'm so glad that I see hope of resurrecting you again."
……
"Harrison taught me some knowledge of the 'Grim Reaper' realm, and it was with this knowledge that he and his people mastered it and took back their own marks, so that they could die again and again and be resurrected, never die, never old.
"They rarely leave Easter Island, but not absolutely, in the previous years, there were islanders who liked to travel everywhere like Harrison to go to different countries, leaving the legend of Easter Island in the memory of a few humans, and people with ulterior motives compiled charts to Easter Island.
"The treasure map that Mark sold us is fake, but part of it comes from the real map, Harrison left Easter Island this time in order to destroy the real map and kill everyone who knows how to get to that sea area and how to find Easter Island.
"Helen, based on the knowledge provided by Harrison, I tried to summon the spirit of the depths of death, and I succeeded, I summoned an evil spirit called 'Arden', it was very weak, I easily destroyed it, collected its blood, and prepared for the subsequent ritual."
……
"Helen, I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions.
"Since meeting Harrison and gaining the knowledge that can truly revive you, I have become more and more impatient, impatient, and unable to control my emotions.
"Those archipelago people are all liars, they all deserve to die, I killed one liar, there are many more liars, I don't want to waste any more time, I started that ritual in advance.
"Helen, I'm sorry, I failed again, I wasn't prepared enough."
……
"Helen, am I completely crazy? Fidel just refuted me, and I lost my mind and killed everyone in the room.
"He must die too, the one who wants to threaten me and Fidel!"
……
"Helen, I failed, I haven't been hurt so badly in a long time.
"Most of my body is already undead, and such injuries are not fatal, but I have no collaborators.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
……
"Helen, I miss you again."
Lumian saw the end of this dark softshell note in one breath, stared at the sentence, and did not move for a long time.
He seems to have turned into a statue.
Several minutes passed, and Lumian couldn't help but raise his right hand and rub his temples.
The mark of the depths of death, Resurrection Island, Harrison, these contents flooded into his mind in a mess, making him suddenly regret not asking Franka for help.
In order to let Boorman die cleanly, he had no intention of communicating with the spirit of this "devil wizard" from the beginning, so there was no need to go back to Trier and bring Franka over.
But now, he instinctively wanted to have a deeper understanding of the resurrection method provided by Harrison, to understand the island where the inhabitants died again and again.
Shout...... Lumian closed his notes, exhaled, and struggled to recall the occult knowledge he had mastered about death.
If the words "death" and "mark" are put together, he has heard of it:
When Ms. "Magician" answered what Tudor's figure in the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain" was, she mentioned the term "mark of death"!
"Is this a concept that is different from remnants and brands, and is related to resurrection?
"From the depths of death...... What is the depths of death......
"What I know now that is clearly related to death is the underworld, the Samaritan Spring, the Styx that runs through the two worlds......
"It's a pity, I don't know what that Harrison from Easter Island looks like......
"The knowledge recorded by Boorman is also very messy, it seems that he writes whatever comes to mind, not himself, and it is difficult to sort out the complete resurrection ritual and corresponding principles from it......
"No, it's not difficult, it's impossible, Boorman only recorded the ones he thought he would forget, and the rest of the knowledge was not written at all......" Lumian rubbed the corner of his forehead again, unfolded the fake treasure map, and observed it carefully for a while, unable to confirm which part was true and which part was fake.
He plans to send the picture to Franka and Jane after dawn so that they can try to distinguish it using occult methods.
…………
Early the next morning, Lumian wiped his mouth with a napkin and watched Ludwig continue to fight those breakfasts.
With a bang, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Lumian motioned for Lugano to open the door.
Do you really think of me as a servant? Okay, you pay, you are the boss...... Lugano scolded a couple of words, left the dining table, and opened the door.
Outside is Philip.
Philip walked into the room and said to Lumian with a smile:
"In another two and a half hours, we will set sail, and if you have any special products you want to buy, you have to do it as soon as possible."
"No." Lumian stood up and replied with a smile.
Philip looked out the window and said:
"By the way, you may not know yet, that 'devil wizard' has been caught."
"Really?" Lugano looked surprised.
In the past few days, the hottest topic when the passengers on the ship chatted was the "devil wizard" Boorman who caused them to stay in the port of Faring.
Seeing that Lumian also raised his eyebrows and inquired, Philip said with a relaxed expression:
"Boorman was not only arrested, but also in a dead state."
"Who did it?" Lumian inquired with interest.
Philip shook his head:
"It's not clear, I only know that it is closely related to the Church of Fools, well, the great adventurer Gelman. Sparrow is said to be the messenger of God of the Church of Fools."
"It won't be the big adventurer who took action himself, right?" Lugano asked excitedly.
When he arrived at sea, he naturally heard about the belief of the "fool" and had no doubts about it.
– The sailor will tell him, the passenger will tell him, and the porter at the dock will tell him the same.
"Who knows? Anyway, the only one who can kill the 'devil wizard' is at least a strong man of the level of the pirate general." Philip sighed sincerely.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the gangway, and the passengers who were scheduled to board the ship in the port of Farin were finally allowed to take the "Asuka".
Lumian walked to the window and saw an acquaintance.
Butna. Kong Tai!
He climbed onto the deck side by side with the cute and good-looking female adventurer.
Lumian pushed open the window and shouted loudly:
"Butna, are you going to Santa Harbor too?"
Butner looked up in astonishment and followed the sound to the row of rooms on the highest floor.
Recognize Louis. After Berry, he laughed and shouted:
"Yes, go see the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Harbor!"
