The magic system of this world is very complicated. In addition to being divided according to the elements such as gold, wood, water, and fire... no, it's flame, running water, earth, thunder, etc., there is also the school of thought that Nancy introduced to Lu Cheng before, which distinguishes magic based on its effects.
The thirteen magicians of the Secret Society each performed their duties and demonstrated to the researchers the magic they were good at, which basically included all systems of magic.
Among them, Lu Cheng is most interested in... necromancy.
"Well, Nancy, aren't you going to introduce me to someone else? And Charlotte... aren't you also good at necromancy?"
Lu Cheng felt a little heavy on his back, because Princess Nancy from Xiu Enzhe had huddled behind him, holding the corner of Lu Cheng's clothes tightly with her hands and unwilling to let go.
Charlotte was also hiding on the other side of Lu Cheng and holding the corner of Lu Cheng's clothes with her hand.
Nuoyi walked around Lu Cheng and found that there was no room behind him, so he had to hug Lu Cheng's left thigh with both hands.
This made Lu Cheng unable to move at all, and the reason for all this was all because of a puppy that was barking non-stop in front of Lu Cheng. This dog had no flesh and skin on its body, only bones.
Its barking sound is not a "barking woof woof" sound, but the sound when the bones of the upper and lower jaw collide.
"How does it move?"
Elena was much bolder than the other three members of the study group. She half-knelt in front of the puppy and reached out to touch its forehead.
As a result, while touching, Elena inexplicably broke off someone's ribs.
Elena held the puppy's rib in her hand and wanted to put it back when no one was around, but the puppy actually wagged its tail at its ribs.
At this moment, Elena understood what the puppy meant and threw the rib in her hand away. The puppy immediately ran to where the rib fell.
"magic."
The owner of this skeleton puppy is the girl named Kaifu who had previously dissected the corpse with Dr. Akiyama.
But judging from Nancy's respectful attitude towards the girl, she was much older than she looked.
"I used magic to seal its soul inside its bones. It survived in this form and maintained its consciousness." Kaif waved and called over the puppy whose ribs Elena had broken. She picked up the ribs it had broken and put them back on.
"Soul, Ms. Kaf, can you show us what kind of existence the soul is?"
Lu Cheng believed that all magic could be explained by science in theory, but this kind of undead magic that could revive the dead and turn them into skeletons or even ghosts still made Lu Cheng unable to think of how to explain it scientifically.
"No... no problem. Is it okay to just... show it here?"
When talking to Lu Cheng, Kaif seemed very timid and afraid, and her fear appeared very abruptly.
Lu Cheng guessed that this necromancer was the type who was afraid of communicating with others.
"Are you really scared?"
Lu Cheng turned around following Kaf's gaze. Nancy and Charlotte had already loosened the corners of Lu Cheng's clothes. Nancy's hands were clasped tightly and hung down under her body, and the thumbs of both hands were spinning in circles restlessly.
"I had some trauma when I was a child." Nancy kept her head down while speaking. Lu Cheng could see through her glasses that her eyes looked very uneasy.
"Well, Charlotte, you should know necromancy, so there's no reason to be afraid of ghosts or skeletons."
The reason why Lucheng brought Charlotte to this exchange meeting is...Charlotte has mastered almost most of the magic in the world.
The magical talent of the Crystal Girl is so overbearing that Charlotte doesn't even need to understand the principles of this magic. She can release the magic she wants with the thought of "I think it will work if I chant the spell like this".
Of course, this kind of talent is not enough to make your wishes come true. For example, Charlotte recently invented a magic trick that can turn one hamburger into two hamburgers. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she could only produce one more slice of bread, and that slice of bread tasted like sand.
"I... I'm not afraid of ordinary undead. I'm just afraid of those... things that jump." Charlotte said as she hugged her left arm tightly with her right hand, her eyes fixed on her toes without looking at Lu Cheng.
"Something that jumps?"
Lu Cheng's doubts were quickly answered by Nuoyi beside him.
"Zombie, we watched a movie called Mr. Zombie yesterday." Nuoyi said as she flipped through her notebook. On the next page of her notebook was a picture of a peach charm. She showed the picture to Lu Cheng and flipped through the pages again.
"Will this mark work on zombies? And the peach wood sword?"
"Noi, Charlotte, zombies are virtual..." Lu Cheng was halfway through his speech when he saw Elena playing the rib-throwing and rib-catching game with the skeleton puppy.
Lu Cheng swallowed back the word "fiction" that was originally in his mouth.
Magic, the undead, skeleton dogs and other things have all appeared, so how can zombies be far behind
"It should be useful." Lu Cheng immediately changed his words.
"Should?!" Charlotte felt even more unsure after hearing Lu Cheng's uncertain answer. Even though she had learned how to use the Internet, she still lacked the judgment of modern people.
For example, Charlotte had no way of telling what was true and what was false in the movie.
"It's okay! If there really is a monster like that, I should be able to kill it with my wooden sword." Elena comforted Charlotte in the gap between throwing the ribs.
After being comforted by Elena, Charlotte was no longer afraid. Although the relationship between Charlotte and Elena was similar to that between a cat and its owner, she still felt safe with Elena staying in the dormitory.
"Ms. Kaf, please start your demonstration."
After Lu Cheng comforted the girls behind him, he turned around and spoke to the necromancer again.
"You... don't you have any taboos about undead magic here?" Kaf was obviously not considering Nancy and Charlotte behind Lu Cheng.
The existence of necromancers is unwelcome in any world.
"Power itself is innocent. As long as Miss Kaf doesn't do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth, we won't mind. Of course, digging up someone else's body is considered to be against the will of heaven and earth in our opinion."
When Lu Cheng mentioned this, Kaf nodded slightly. It seemed that she had never done such a wicked thing as digging up someone else's body.
"I only have one undead soul that I am signing a contract with now. Lord Lu Cheng, please step back a little."
When Kaf saw that Lu Cheng had made enough space, dark purple inscriptions appeared beside her.
Cold mist spread around and frost condensed on the ground. When all the inscriptions beside Kaf broke, a huge shadow appeared behind her.
The phantom had a pale face, and looked a bit like the legendary snow girl. She also exuded a cold aura. After she appeared behind Kaf, her eyes moved around, and she obviously had her own consciousness.
"What's the matter with waking me up so early in the morning? Is Kafu the man you said you wanted to capture as your husband?"
The cold figure floated in front of Lu Cheng, pinched her chin and looked at Lu Cheng for a long time, but before she could get close to take a closer look at Lu Cheng's appearance, a peach charm appeared in front of her.
Nuoyi held up his notebook, and because of his short height, he stood on tiptoe to block Lu Cheng. Judging from Nuoyi's posture, it seemed that he would say "Monsters, please go away" in the next second.
"I am not the man your master likes." Lu Cheng held Nuoyi's arm with his injured right hand, while the holy crystal in his left hand emitted a holy light.
The moment the ghost felt the light from the holy crystal, he retreated back to Kaf's side somewhat uncomfortably.
Lu Cheng's talent for magic is the same as Charlotte's. He can master one or two not-too-complicated magics without much trouble.
"I am very sorry, Lord Lu Cheng, she is my mother." Kaif kept apologizing to Lu Cheng for her mother's reckless behavior.
"Mother? Your mother has been with you...for how long?"
From the brief contact just now, Lu Cheng could judge that this ghost's cognition was very complete. She not only had the memories of when she was alive, but she could even think like when she was alive.
If humans had mastered this kind of undead magic in the last century, Lu Cheng felt that human technology would have made countless leaps forward by now.
