Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 23 An accident occurred during the peeling operation

Reiner held up his arms and activated the sharp metal probe mounted on the tool slot, powered by magic.

Follow the points marked on amber in advance by Harvey, slowly pierce the inside of the crystal.

This amber ore that looks extremely hard unexpectedly penetrates the probe without any obstacles, and does not break directly.

"It's like a piece of jelly covered with a fragile shell." Harvey closely followed Reiner's movements, reminding him to adjust the angle of the piercing at any time.

The probe penetrated deep into the crystal, directly contacted the upper arm of the amber, and then plunged into his body without pause.

The amber man's closed eyelids trembled slightly, as if he could tolerate this level of sting.

"Okay, enough blood has been taken."

Harvey took out the contract that was drafted in advance and showed it to the Amberman without reservation after it was unfolded.

"So, now you can tell me your name."

"My name is...Asdaren."

Harvey was about to sign the contract and paused, but the other party had no last name, which was very strange.

However, only the real name can be in line with my own blood, and the magic contract will take effect.

So he was not worried that the other party would randomly arrange a pseudonym to deceive himself, which was completely meaningless.

As the blood dripped on the parchment merged with the name, the magic contract emitted a slight energy fluctuation, and the text written on it solidified on the surface like an engraving and could no longer be applied and modified.

Harvey put away the contract and easily patted the amber crystal.

"Happy cooperation! Uh, Mr. Asdaren."

He then pointed to Reiner beside him and introduced seriously: "Next, my assistant, Mr. Reiner, and I will start trying to peel you out of the crystal."

Asdaren blinked, "Then... let's start."

"I know you're in a hurry, but please give us some time to tell you the specific process of the divestiture."

Harvey explained gently: "This is what you should have, uh, the right to know about the surgery."

"I will let Reiner use scorching rays to cut and melt the surface of the crystal first." Harvey pointed to the welding gun installed on Reiner's arm and introduced to Asdaren.

"But the rays are extremely hot, and the parts close to your body cannot be cut, which will cause harm to you." He turned around and picked up a fine metal wire like a horse's hair from the lab table.

"So, I'll use a magic-powered, uh, this metal wire saw inside the crystal to cut."

Harvey nodded to Reiner, signaling that he could start the operation. "Don't worry, Reiner's hands are very stable."

“We will start peeling from the head position.”

...

As the welding gun in Reiner's hand touched the surface of the crystal, people inside and outside the amber seemed to hold their breath.

A faint yellow blue smoke rose from the contact area, without any strange smell.

The flame gradually embedded in the crystal.

One piece of fist-sized amber crystal was neatly cut and separated and dropped on the ground.

Harvey's expected explosion and disintegration did not happen, and the external crystal was peeled off quickly, revealing a more fragile crystal core inside.

It is less than half the depth of Asdaren's body.

Reiner took off the welding gun and replaced it with Harvey's new wire saw, which drives magic to activate it, allowing the wire saw to move back and forth at high speed, making a buzzing sound.

The blue soul fire in the metal skull's eye sockets narrowed and gathered like pupils, which is a typical manifestation of Reiner's extreme concentration.

When all the crystals wrapped around Asdaren's shoulders were peeled off, the person sealed in it finally opened his bloody eyes as if he was reborn.

"Thank you...I don't know how long it took for me to smell the scent of the air."

This time he finally spoke, with a hint of trance on his pale and handsome face.

Seeing that he was in a good condition, Harvey did not have any terrible changes because he suddenly exposed to the air.

"How are you feeling now?"

Asdaren turned his neck, which seemed to have been rusted for a long time, and smiled bitterly when he saw his shoulders still wrapped in the thick amber crystal.

"I can't feel like I can't move now."

This guy who is suspected to be an ancient man has a sense of humor.

Harvey complained silently, signaling Reiner to continue to peel off other parts, and he tried to communicate with him for a while, which would also distract him.

"I'm curious, Asdarren, how did you get sealed into this amber mine?"

A confused look appeared in Asdaren's eyes, "I, I don't remember it..."

He paused, "When I woke up, I was sealed into this crystal. As for how long it had passed, I couldn't remember it. Most of the time, I was sleeping."

Harvey said in surprise: "Then how did you send a distress signal? And how did you find that we entered the collapsed stone tower?"

Asdaren smiled bitterly and said, "I was awakened by the earthquake. As for the distress signal..." He looked down at the position of his neck, "The magical jewelry I wear allows me to perceive the surroundings through my thoughts and communicate with others. ”

That's what the magical jewelry manipulated by mental power is.

"Then do you have anything you want to know from me?" Harvey felt that letting the other party quickly become a good way to get closer to each other's relationship.

Asdaren was silent for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Which year is it now?"

"Glorious calendar, 581." Harvey replied calmly, "Four hundred years have passed since the Dragon War."

No mistakes!

"Glorious calendar? Dragon War... four hundred years..." Asdaren murmured in a low voice, still confused.

He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, looked at Harvey eagerly, and asked with trembling lips: "Do you know the Kingdom of Eternal Night? And, there is the Holy Blood Knights."

Harvey shook his head, "As far as I know, there is no Kingdom of Eternal Night among the seven existing wizard kingdoms on the continent."

"As for the alien races and demons in the north, it seems that their tribes do not regard themselves as a political system like a country."

"As for the Knights you mentioned, I have lived in the border areas for a long time, and I don't know how many war group titles there are. I'm sorry."

Harvey had a vague premonition that the pale man without a surname in front of him might have lived in an era that was no longer in the historical process he knew.

Asdalen calmed down and said lightly: "If the dragon war you are talking about is the same historical event as the glorious war I know..."

"I am afraid that I have been trapped in this amber ore for more than five hundred years..."

Harvey saw that he was getting more and more depressed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

If Asdalen is indeed a human, then being trapped in the amber ore for five hundred years means that all his relatives, friends, and lovers have disappeared in the long river of time, leaving only him alone.

This situation, for some reason, gave Harvey an illusion of empathy.

"Are you a spellcaster, Asdalen?"

"Spellcaster?" Asdalen frowned, a little unsure. "If you mean a wizard, yes, I am."

It turns out that in ancient times, spellcasters were called wizards.

Wait! Then female spellcasters are called witches? Why are spellcasters divided by gender? Instead of by the type of spellcasting.

Asdalen, who claimed to be a wizard, glanced at Harvey, "Why? Are you going to report me to the church?"

In his memory, in that familiar era, wizards did suffer a lot of prejudice and hostility. The witch hunters of the church hunted or expelled them at will on the grounds of blasphemy.

Harvey was stunned for a moment, "What? Why should I report you? I am also a spellcaster, uh, a wizard."

Asdalen slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you are very good at hiding yourself and avoiding hunting."

He lowered his head and glanced at the alchemical creature who was bending over and cutting the crystal seriously, and couldn't help but praise it.

"Your alchemical servant is also very... uh, ah!" He said halfway, suddenly frowned and cried out in pain, "Ah! It hurts, stop! Stop!"

Reiner was frightened and raised the wire saw that had been cut to the waist position, looking at Harvey blankly.

Asdalen finally recovered his breath, his pale face showing a grayish color, and his lips trembled slightly because of the severe pain.

"What's going on?" Harvey was also shocked, and hurriedly looked down to observe the position where Reiner cut, and found that it did not touch Asdalen's body.

Asdalen took two deep breaths, looked down at his waist and below, as if he understood something, and smiled bitterly.

"Haha, no wonder I felt that the strange saw seemed to be cutting on my body." He looked up at Harvey, with a look of despair and self-mockery on his face.

"My body, I'm afraid, has merged with this amber ore..."
