Chapter 273 Bloody Dipping
Walking in this stronghold belonging to the Eye of True Vision, Curt felt that there was always a strong smell of blood lingering beside him. He had not seen corpses piled up in mountains in the past, but he had never felt such a formidable blood in any building.
No one would like to live in a house filled with the flesh and blood of the dead - except for some crazy guys. Obviously, as a sufficiently "duty-governed" spell researchers, the spells of True-eyed Eye do not care about being companion of flesh and blood... After all, these are the products of their experiments.
The corpses that they dissected with cruel methods were discarded everywhere, and those who used the research here seemed to be not planning to organize them at all. Some strange potions were placed on the nearby wooden stand, and several pots with faint green fluorescence were still soaked in some biological samples.
This is simply a madman's underground research room, showing a sense of irreconcilableness everywhere. Originally, Curt felt that the strange spell products in Liqi's research room were incredible enough, but he didn't expect that there was a group of such crazy researchers so close.
Most of the spells advocate the product of reason, because almost all the research and use of spells comes from the knowledge obtained through reason. However, a few heretics believe that spells are not simply knowledge and technology, and they are gifted even think that this is an innate talent.
What is spell and where is its source?
The dispute over similar topics has lasted for a long time between various magician camps, and thus many philosophers have emerged. But for some pretentious guys, no matter what the final result of the dispute will affect their attitude towards people other than themselves.
I am the chosen one. Therefore, I can ignore the existence of others. Some geniuses... can almost be said to be so-called sorcerers who are born with unique powers. Perhaps it is precisely because of this sense of superiority that they will do many outrageous behaviors.
The Eye of True View - or the Ultramarines - is not short of talented magicians. Their abilities are probably hard to match even Cruise François. But perhaps it is precisely because of this that they don’t care whether there will be corpses everywhere on their way forward.
"Strange...what is this?"
The solid brick and stone floor is covered with stains. Many of them look like dry stains formed after blood cools down. They flow across the ground, leaving strange patterns, and some translucent tiny crystals are scattered in some blood that have not been cleaned.
The crystals looked like red crystals ground into pieces, scattered irregularly in the pool of cooled blood. These cold crystals were not very similar to experimental supplies that the magicians had accidentally dropped on the ground, but rather they were a bit like they were directly condensed from the blood.
Clusters of pyramid-shaped polyhedrons are closely connected at the roots, and their appearance looks like a series of crystal clear dark red ice flowers. If they were not in a pool of dried blood, perhaps Curt would be more interested in observing their appearance.
He leaned closer to observe the dark red crystal fragments and asked Liqi with some confusion: "Liqi, have you seen such things? Why do I think they are not very similar to those crystals mined from mines. Instead, they condensed from the blood after being affected by some force..."
The fine crystals were almost completely submerged in the blood, and the red liquid that contained them was completely solidified before the two arrived. The cold crystals still had thin blood vaguely left on the surface, and it was obvious that they had appeared long before the blood dried up.
Without exception, these crystals are located in the central part of a large area of blood stains. The connected crystals form one ring after another. The polygonal roots appear to have signs of being damaged, irregular cuts are scattered on the crystal surface, and many scattered powders are left behind.
"I don't know, I've never seen such crystals in the past." Liqi shook her head gently, but she seemed to have the same idea as Curt. "But it is indeed possible that they are something that grows out of the blood-and the most important part has been taken not long ago."
Obviously, the existence of this kind of thing has surpassed the knowledge she has. Liqi curiously used her hand to twist some fine crystals from the pool of blood. The fine crystal chips slowly decompose into "fine sand" with red brilliance on her fingertips, dyeing her fingertips a little dark red.
"It's not just that they look like. They have a pus-bloody smell on them-even if it turns out, the pungent smell hasn't subsided at all."
As if it was stained with a sticky and dirty blood, a few drops of blood-like droplets oozed out from Liqi's fingertips. She put them on the tip of her nose and sniffed them. Then she put a bored face - it seemed that these crystals all had an unpleasant smell, just like their appearance.
The ground was covered with black blood marks, and the crystals that condensed from the dead blood could be seen everywhere. Originally, Curt did not pay attention to the stains left on the ground, but when he was careful to observe, he found that the traces left by these crystals could be seen anywhere.
In the years of "experiment" of the True Vision Eye, these black stone bricks absorbed the blood of the victims. Only by allowing countless victims to go back and forth through these corridors will there be a smell of flesh and blood in every corner of the building.
Following Liqi's instructions, he left the deepest dungeon, and Curt originally thought he would be ambushed by the already prepared enemy. However, the fact once again disappointed his expectations. After leaving the worst dungeon in the environment, a huge laboratory was still waiting for them.
All you can smell in the nasal cavity is the smell of flesh and blood and the smell of some unknown drugs. The indigestive stench makes Curt feel that his nose is about to melt. Even Liqi, who is often soaked in the pile of potions, frowned, obviously not like the environment here.
Compared with the cell area at the bottom of the abyss, this research room is much better - although you can still see stains and garbage everywhere. The research equipment scattered all over the ground is all broken, not even as good as the equipment provided by the academy for apprentices. I really didn't expect this to be something used by excellent magicians.
There are differences in levels between the upper and lower in all groups, and the True Vision Eye is no exception. I am afraid that not all of this group are so-called "genius" excellent magicians, and most of the researchers are just ordinary people...Their status in this group will not be too high.
"Tsk, this feels really bad."
Curt looked around the surrounding space unhappily. The walls of this laboratory were still made of black stone bricks. The enclosed space felt inexplicably depressing. The equipment everywhere was also a bit old. To put it nicely, it was "historical charm", but to put it bluntly, it was dilapidated... In this era, even the poorest magicians would not choose to use these tools because they were too old.
A large number of ancient spell tools are piled up on racks in a corner of the room, but these tools are also broken, as if they will be damaged after a while. The Eye of True Vision seems to attach great importance to the use of ancient spells, but these unstable spells often avoid using old tools - because they lack the necessary stability, and if they are not done well, they will become out of control.
"Well...what is this?" After continuing to walk forward and pushing open a closed round arched wooden door, Curt suddenly muttered and stopped, "So...Is this why I think this is too quiet? If it's really because of this, I really can't laugh."
Originally, he felt a stronger trace of blood coming out from behind the closed door, which made Curt's brow frown unconsciously. When he pushed open the door, he saw a red sea without surprise, and only the stench of flesh and blood made him pause for half a step.
The spreading blood color is more dazzling than the execution ground under the dungeon, and it is fresher than the things piled up on the ground - the fragmented pieces of meat and internal organs make people feel nauseous. The damp and warm smell of blood licks Curt's skin like a tongue, which is the piece of meat that has just become a corpse.
It was as if a huge monster had raged in this room. There was no way to find even a complete thing in the huge room. Whether it was people, things, or other fragments... they were all torn into pieces and then thrown into the room at will.
It is impossible to expect it to show mercy - just as no one can stop the disaster by praying. What destroys here is a complete and cruel violence, which rolls everything it can destroy, and then destroys them like a toy.
The ruthless attitude of the destroyer is similar to the prisoner in the anatomy prison, but the rough methods shown are completely opposite to the careful and sophisticated skills. What happens here is an absolute conflict between strength and skill, but only violence wins in the end.
Simple and crude, but it works.
"Are these people members of the True Eye?"
Liqi followed Curt into the room without changing her face, and said in a cold tone without emotion: "The murderer will be killed - although this sentence is just a word used by a certain charlatan to fool people, I think they should have been awakened to being killed long ago."
Since they chose to take this path, they must be prepared to be taken away sooner or later. Curt is not sure whether the spells who died here have already become aware of death, but they are indeed not qualified to complain that fate has allowed themselves to die.
The black old robe is gradually dyed with bright blood, and the overflowing blood makes the entire laboratory full of a pungent smell. The once warm blood gradually loses its temperature. In the gradually condensed blood stains, several clusters of translucent crystals are slowly growing. (To be continued, please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
