Pastor's Tantra

Professor Laxmi sighed again.

He never thought that he, a professor of the Spirit Tower, would be arrested for stealing corpses one day...

——As a "walker in the underworld", his professional ability cannot be used directly in the promotion ceremony. Because this place is a dream world, he cannot gain an advantage by entering dreams.

Then he can only use the basic profession, that is, the extraordinary skills of the necromancer to fight.

As a necromancer, what should he do?

That is naturally to turn over some corpses...

... What else? Just rely on the preservation and petrification skills, which are only auxiliary abilities, to fight?

However, this city with advanced technology has a very complete funeral tradition.

Professor Laxmi used the soul-seeking technique to search for a long time, but he didn't find any wild spirits or corpses that were buried without a funeral.

——He probably realized that this was not a fictitious city.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the "future" of Avalon. Among human countries, only Avalon could have such a density of bishops, and people on the street basically spoke in an Avalonian way.

He had no choice but to go to the hospital to find some fresh corpses.

If you want to know where in the city there must be fresh corpses that have just died and have not yet been buried, just go to the hospital with the largest flow of people.

So Professor Laxmi sneaked into the largest hospital in the city.

Perhaps because the population in this city is too large - it is even more than the population of Leipzig - the hospital is also full of people. After all, the number of bishops stationed in this city alone, the mana they recover every day is not enough to cure everyone.

Professor Laxmi found a large number of corpses in the morgue, and was immediately shocked.

Sure enough, there is always a way out!

He used necromancy to extract the souls from those corpses and turned them into his own spiritual body guards.

But when Professor Laxmi was only the sixth one, he was suddenly caught.

The team that captured him was extremely large in scale.

There were at least six fourth-level arbitrators alone. Judging from their formation, there was at least one big shot who was present at the scene, and even a cardinal was guarding him. There were at least twenty fourth-level law masters escorting him throughout the process. His spellcasting ability was sealed as soon as he met him, and his body was covered with silver runes.

Professor Laxmi didn't even resist the whole time.

His first reaction was - could this identity I used be a wanted criminal?

... Didn't I just steal a few ordinary people's bodies?

Is this a violation of some heavenly law?

Professor Laxmi dared to swear that among the bodies he transformed, there was not even a body of a transcendent!

They were able to transform into spiritual guards because he gave them the power of dusk.

-Even if I committed the crime of stealing corpses, this scale is too outrageous!

He was not even detained in the interrogation room of the Supervisory Bureau.

Instead, he was directly imprisoned in the Inspectorate. He was transferred and escorted by heavy troops, and even missed several choices.

Although he didn't know much about Avalon, Professor Laxmi still knew... The Inspectorate was not a regular security department. It was similar to the "Secret Room" of Xingti, and belonged to a spy and counter-espionage department.

... How did I become a spy?

Professor Laxmi was a little dissatisfied.

But when he was interrogated, he suddenly understood-

"Under the gaze of the Silver Crown Dragon, all the lies you said will be exposed. Odval Laxmi, who instructed you to desecrate the body of the former Minister of Finance? What do you want to do by stealing his body?"

The silver-white fire of truth has been lit, and the majestic guardian asked with a serious expression.

At that moment, Professor Laxmi couldn't hold it back.

"-Why is your minister an ordinary person? Why is his body in the hospital?"

You are poisonous!

Shouldn't such a big man die in his own mansion or church? !

What a hammer the hospital can use!

"Don't answer questions with questions! Answer honestly - why did you use necromancy to desecrate the body of the former Minister of Finance? What do you want to do by stealing his body?"

"I don't know where he is, I just want to do some necromancy to protect myself... and no one instructed me..."

Professor Laxmi didn't know the true fire, but guessed the purpose of the light, so he said honestly: "I didn't even touch the body of the extraordinary, I just planned to find a few civilian bodies... I don't even know this Minister of Finance... I just can't find the body, thinking that there may be a body in the hospital..."

The true fire showed that all his words were true.

At that moment, the harsh atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, even the interrogating guardian breathed a sigh of relief, and his body couldn't help but relax and lean back.

Obviously, stealing a body and trying to manipulate a minister - even the body of the Minister of Finance, are two completely different concepts.

"Are you from the psychic tower?"

The great guardian softened his tone and looked up and down at Professor Laxmi: "Teacher of the psychic tower?"

... psychic tower?

Avalon also has a Ziggurat?

Or has the Ziggurat moved to Avalon?

"Yes, Professor."

Laxmi was a little surprised, but still emphasized: "I didn't know... there was the minister's body in there. I am willing to apologize and compensate, so can you let me go first? I have something else to do..."

"I'm afraid not, Professor Laxmi."

The Great Guardian shook his head regretfully: "We still need further examination - judging from your accent, are you from the Red Castle?"

...The Red Keep?

Hearing this, Laxmi was startled and realized something.

For a moment, his expression twitched. He wanted to laugh a little, but also wanted to cry a little.

His facial features were distorted like a clown, but eventually they gradually returned to calm.

Laxmi shook her head and emphasized: "I am a Star Antimony person."

"oh……"

The Great Guardian nodded thoughtfully and motioned to the secretary beside him to write down these words: "So you came to Camelot in the hope of restoring the former star Antimony?"

"……No."

Professor Laxmi was silent for a while: "Since Star Antimony has perished... then so be it.

“I may be able to make a dead body move again, but I cannot bring a dead country back to life.”

There was nothing unusual about the real fire in front of him.

"Understood."

The Great Guardian nodded and then stood up: "Just in case, we need to do a test on you later - we cannot accept blood slaves staying in the country for a long time, please cooperate. As for the issue of corpses, we treat them as The crime of corpse theft. The ticket will then be sent to the Ziggurat, and Principal Luo Lei will decide whether to impose corresponding administrative penalties on you after reviewing it.

"By the way, I hope you can apologize to the family after this incident."

"Okay. No problem."

Professor Laxmi nodded and watched the Great Guardian leave with the Fire of Truth.

The Great Guardian was at the door and turned around: "Oh, by the way...

"I know that the ration of corpses in the ziggurat is indeed low. But please understand - there are not many enthusiastic citizens who can accept the donation of corpses after death. I can understand your behavior, but your behavior itself will make people You are more resistant to the Necromancer. You cultivate your reputation, right?"

After saying that, the great guardian opened the door and left.

Then everyone else left one after another, and when the last person left, he got him a glass of warm water and put it on the table.

Professor Laxmi stared at the glass of water and was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, he felt the whole world shaking——

——There was an earthquake?

No, that's not right...

He realized that his dreams were becoming thinner.

My promotion ceremony is no longer stable - I am being awakened from the outside!

So Professor Laxmi, who was well prepared, immediately raised his cuffed hands and said loudly: "I surrender, I abstain!"

About two or three seconds later, a childish voice sounded in his ear: "Okay, I accept it."

The next moment, his dream finally collapsed.

He suddenly woke up from reality, his body tense.

Blood Coral is sitting on the edge of the bed, using a needle to pierce deeply into the nail seam of his little finger - this is the fastest way to wake up while causing minimal damage to the body.

"how?"

Blood Coral frowned and put down his hand: "I hope the news from you is not going well——"

"Indeed, indeed..."

Professor Laxmi spoke slowly, feeling strong nausea and vomiting coming over him.

Then there was severe, heartbreaking pain!

It is better to voluntarily admit defeat from the promotion ceremony than to forcefully escape from the dream. If the latter does not have special countermeasures, he will at least be seriously injured at the beginning, and may even die as a result.

However, it is not easy to accept the punishment for failure——

Amidst the heart-rending screams, his skin suddenly bulged. Small tents like pointed cones were formed one after another, as if there was an invisible awl piercing out of it!

His skin was broken and bleeding, and his more fragile eyes, nostrils, and ears began to bleed.

There seemed to be worms crawling in the muscles in his body, and the flesh and blood of his body could be seen squirming with the naked eye.

At this time, Blood Coral fed him a bottle of potion, then forced him to raise his head, bit his neck, and forced him to take the medicine.

Professor Laxmi quickly calmed down under the treatment of that bottle of medicine and the analgesic effect on his neck.

He seemed to be seriously ill and had lost at least two laps of weight. There was visible fatigue in his eyes... but at least he survived.

"I have set up a silent barrier, so it won't attract pursuers."

Blood Coral comforted him: "The pursuers may arrive in another hour or two, and I have to wake you up. Fortunately, we have prepared a resurrecting potion. It's just a pity...that precious reviving potion was wasted."

...Actually, if I had two more hours, maybe I would have succeeded.

Originally Professor Laxmi wanted to say this.

But after thinking about his points, he decided not to brag.

——This promotion is very risky, because the pursuers may find their traces at any time.

But there is nothing we can do.

Everyone is at the fourth level, so there is no way to widen the gap... not to mention the large number of people on the other side. Only when one of them is promoted can they be completely out of danger.

Fortunately, Blood Coral brought a precious bottle of Resurrection Mixture with him when he left. It can be specially used to treat the damage caused to the soul when he is forced to wake up from the promotion ceremony, or when promotion fails but he does not die.

That was Hong Xiang's private collection, originally intended to be used when sniping old Meg in Avalon, but it was not used. So it was left with her - and when running away, of course, all valuable things should be taken with them.

Although this bottle of medicine can save lives in the five-to-six ceremony, they are too late.

The pursuers will arrive at any time, and Professor Laxmi can only try to force the promotion - if it is too late and must be forcibly awakened, or if it is in time but will lose, at least the medicine can save a life. Once successful, they have a fifth-level extraordinary person, and they can immediately turn back and kill those fourth-level Moon Son pursuers.

"At least it's better than being killed in my sleep and finding out I'm dead at the end of the promotion ceremony..."

Professor Laxmi sighed: "Thank you, Blood Coral. You actually know how to use it for me..."

"...After all, if you die, I have to die too."

Blood Coral was a little helpless: "The Moon Sons can't move freely on the sea...You can only rely on you to pierce their ships."

"Well, leave it to me. You just need to protect our ship."

Professor Laxmi nodded.

It's just a pity...

"...I want to see that future again."

Professor Laxmi always feels that the future is very important.

But it's too late...

He gritted his teeth and grabbed Blood Coral's arm: "Listen, I may forget what happened in the dream at any time. You prepare the ceremony first, and I will tell you what I remember, and you just listen..."
