The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 122 Soul Damage

With his personal issues resolved, Lee immediately turned his attention back to the prince.

During this period, Li seemed to be not doing his job properly, but in fact he was always thinking about the essence of the problem.

Now Lilith came to Li's side, and Li was ready for the next examination.

"Brother Li, what do you mean..."

"Tell me, what is the reason for a person to have lost part of his memory even though his body is fine?"

Everyone followed the line of thought given by Li, and Lilith, who was also a dark creature like Li, immediately gave the answer.

"There's something wrong with the soul!"

Hearing that it was a spiritual problem, Theresa stepped forward and interrupted the discussion.

"I have checked, and His Royal Highness's soul is intact, with no signs of damage."

Holy light can sense the integrity of a person's soul. If there is real soul damage, it is impossible for the prince to simply lose part of his memory.

Having a crooked mouth, squinting eyes, drooling and talking nonsense like Cotton is the normal reaction of a damaged soul.

"Maybe only a very small part was damaged?"

"No matter how much we discuss, there will be no results. Just check carefully~"

When it comes to a person's soul, ordinary means cannot detect it at all.

George gave Lee a puzzled look, so Lee had to explain further.

"The easiest way to check whether a person's soul is complete is to see his state after death."

"You don't want to do anything to the prince!"

By killing the prince and transforming him into an undead creature, the degree of integrity of his soul can be determined through the soul fire.

After Li explained this, George threw herself on Leon like an old hen.

"Don't even think about doing that. It's useless for the prince to have lost his memory. What's the point of just killing him?"

George's loyalty to Leon was special, and Lee had long understood that.

"Ahem~ That's why I've been waiting for Lilith to come. Lilith's power can ensure that Leon's body is still active after losing his soul."

Lilith grinned, using her vampire teeth to support Li's statement.

"My plan is to transform Prince Leon's soul into a ghost and extract it. After testing the soul, I will put it back. The above is the diagnostic process I specified~"

It sounds a bit weird, but George has personally experienced resurrection from the dead, and he knows that Li is a magician with special means.

"Then...will this have any adverse effects on His Highness Leon?"

George more or less remembered his duties as a servant and asked Li Duo a question.

Li sat casually on the sofa and informed George of the consequences of doing so.

"There are no serious consequences. The soul examination process is equivalent to Leon being stripped of his soul and possessed by a ghost creature. However, his ghost is still himself. At most, there will be some sequelae of soul separation in the future."

"Soul leaving the core? What is that?"

"Well... I get distracted from time to time, forget to breathe when I sleep, and my hands shake when I write, but these are not serious problems~"

What Li said was not serious scared George.

What should we do if His Royal Highness the Prince really has these symptoms?

"Why are you so anxious? You don't have these symptoms."

After Li said this, George's anxious mood was immediately interrupted.

George pondered over Li's words, and the more he thought about them, the more they made sense to him.

Seeing that George had stabilized, Lee stood up and walked directly to Leon.

Li winked at Lilith, and she did the same as Li, coming to the other side of Leon.

Poor Prince, he had no idea what was happening around him.

Two evil creatures that don't follow the rules are standing on both sides of him.

Li slapped Leon on the back of the head, and a cloud of air immediately emerged from Leon's body.

Li waved his hand, using the same gesture as sprinkling salt on barbecue, and scattered a cloud of magic dust.

Magic dust is harmless to humans, but it can stick to the surface of the soul.

A circle of outlines that was very similar to Leon appeared in front of everyone, outlined by the dust.

"Turn off the lights."

George quickly turned off the magic lamp. As an ordinary person, he had few opportunities to see the prince's soul. George focused all his attention on Leon's out-of-body soul.

The potion that Li gave Leon was very effective. Leon's soul was pulled out, but there was no reaction at all.

Everyone looked at Leon's soul shining in the darkness, and the next moment, they all found the problem.

"Look, there is a strange trace here!"

Li squatted down following everyone's gaze and carefully looked at the ankle of Leon's soul.

At this position, it looks generally intact, but if you look closely, you can find a strange crack on Leon's ankle.

This is like someone biting an apple, a small piece of soul is missing, and then another piece is added.

The place where the two parts of the soul are connected is like a broken mirror, with a very obvious crack.

If Leon's soul is not extracted, this gap may not be detected at all.

"Wow~ This is the first time I've seen something like this. This guy's craftsmanship is pretty good."

With Li's ability, it is not difficult to do something similar, but Leon's hands and feet were not done by Li.

According to Li's understanding, in this world, necromancy has long become a thing of the past, and people who understand the technology died out hundreds of years ago.

The sudden emergence of such a method immediately aroused Li's interest.

Lee knew that some people were hiding in the shadows, trying to use necromancy to achieve their own selfish ends.

The problems Leon faced were obviously created by these people.

The problem was found, and everyone ran over to check Leon's ankle.

George, who had nothing to do with supernatural powers, let out a sigh that confused everyone.

George tapped his palm.

"It turns out that the place where people remember things is the ankle! But those lame people don't seem to have any abnormalities?"

Li's eyebrows twitched and he resisted the urge to complain.

The relationship between the soul and memory is not something that most people understand, but Li does not intend to explain it in too much detail.

"Now that the problem has been found, what are you going to do, Brother Li?"

Someone had bitten off a piece of Leon's soul, and then replaced it with a fake one. No one else had ever encountered such a situation.

Everyone can only hope that Li can come up with a solution, otherwise Leon might lose this soul forever.

"Oh, it's not a big deal."

Li reached out and touched Leon's ankle, and the soul of the substitute was dug out by Li.

As the others stared in amazement, Lee stuffed Leon, whose ankle was missing, back into his body.

"Brother Li! Isn't there anything wrong with doing this?"

There was a piece of the soul missing. The person who tampered with it at least added a piece, but Li had it taken away.

"Don't worry, don't worry. This person deliberately added a fake piece so that we wouldn't notice. This thing has affected the prince's recovery. People lack a little soul, and self-repair is enough to slowly replenish it~"

It was clearly a serious matter involving the soul, but in Li's mouth it was as insignificant as a cold.

George stared at Lee, not sure whether he should believe this.

"As long as he gets a good night's sleep, he will be healthy again when he wakes up, and he will slowly remember what he has forgotten."

Lee patted Leon's head to put his soul in a right place.

When George saw this operation, his lips became crooked.

"Are you sure you can just get some sleep?"

"If the prince doesn't recover, I'll call you daddy!"

"That's okay."

After getting Li's promise, George was completely relieved.

After so many days of hard work, there is finally a result.

But Li, who was about to leave, turned around and said something.

"He may have to sleep for three days and three nights. Remember to feed him water and wipe his body."
