277: Chapter 139 Not Human at All_2 277: Chapter 139 Not Human at All_2 This guy had better be…

as expected.

Otherwise, I would…

Well, even if not, she didn’t have the heart to do anything, since, after all, he was essentially a good kid.

Just that, when it came to bullying girls, he was indeed a genuine scoundrel.

Setting aside her magic wand, Miss Lora reached out and pinched Leon’s earlobe, tugging hard.

This lecherous rogue, how could he come up with so many shameful antics to torment someone?

Poor Olivia for going along with it.

Was that last time he hugged me just an excuse to cop a feel?

“Ouch!

Hey…

that hurts!

You’re too strong, Lora, why the heck are you pulling my ear?

Did I offend you?…”

Only to receive a more ruthless ear-tugging punishment than when he had play-fought with Olivia, Leon opened his eyes and took in a sharp breath from the pain.

Facing his benefactor’s sudden move, he couldn’t fight back, and his heart filled with doubt, not understanding what he had done to offend Miss Mage, who was always gentle towards him.

Looking at his pained expression, Lora’s anger eased a bit.

“Li Ang, as I am now teaching you magic, consider me your instructor.

Isn’t it appropriate for a teacher to discipline her student a little?” Miss Mage gave a stern smile but lightened her grip slightly as a form of mild punishment.

“Not excessive at all, not excessive,” Leon said, tilting his head with his ear still in the grasp of his petite teacher and forcing a bitter smile.

“But may I ask, my teacher Lora, where has your student upset you?

Did I fail to enter with my right foot first?”

“I am…

upset by your laziness~!

You’re wasting your talent.

It’s been more than ten days since your initiation, and your magic power hasn’t improved at all.

Haven’t you even mastered the high-temperature adhesion technique I taught you?” Miss Mage questioned solemnly.

She knew all too well that he had been busy dealing with a conflict lately and had no time for practice.

But too embarrassed to reveal the true reason for her anger, Lora could only find a random excuse to vent.

“Let me explain, teacher Lora, I didn’t mean to slack off…”

Feeling his ear finally freed, Leon then covered his left ear, which felt as if clamped by iron pliers, and began to explain the recent events in a resigned manner.

Lora, already fully aware of his experiences, had no choice but to pretend ignorance and patiently listened from the beginning.

“So, do you have a way to resurrect Canis?” Leon finished telling his story and, rubbing his ear, asked.

“As long as the soul remains intact, in principle, resurrecting the dead is not difficult for me.

But do you know why most of the spells from the Necromancy Department in the magic guidebook I gave you are listed as forbidden to varying degrees?” Lora rested against the throne, her annoyance faded, as she rhetorically asked like a teacher in a lesson.

“Because summoning the dead violates the Life and Death Law created by the Dragon of the Dead Sea, ‘Yin Nie’,” Leon recalled the basic knowledge from the magic guidebook as he responded to Lora.

He wasn’t sure about the accuracy, but the magic science of Lorelette, written like genesis myths, stated the known world was born from a conflict erupted by three “Ancient Dragons” at the unfathomable edge of time.

The so-called Ancient Dragons were the ones governing the void, “Epedo,” governing all things, “Omlos,” and governing the Dead Sea, “Yin Nie.”

To Leon, if any of that was true, then these beings seemed more like “gods” as he understood them, rather than misconceptions passed down through history as Miss Lora suggested.

“That’s right, attempting to interfere with the laws of life and death will inevitably bring backlash from the Dead Sea.

Even the Great Magic of Aphrodite paid a heavy price for it,” Lora nodded affirmatively.

“Of course, if you use the common, non-taboo spells from the Necromancy or Summoning Department to call a soul back from the Dead Sea, as long as it’s done correctly, that inattentive ruler of the Dead Sea won’t specifically cast his gaze.

Because such temporary recalled wandering souls have not escaped the state of death, their memories and consciousness are confused, lacking reason and intelligence, and they can’t return to their former selves, like those ravenous, wild living corpses you’ve seen.

This is obviously not a true resurrection, and when the time comes, the souls drawn by the Life and Death Law must obediently plummet back to the Dead Sea.”

Leon shook his head; this was not the method he needed right now.

Merely turning that knight named Canis into a Corpse Ghost would not only fail to solve the problem but would also send his father into an even greater rage upon seeing it.

Miss Lola paused for a moment then continued, “Since you remember the warning from the book, what you really want to ask about is the power of the Netti Card, right?”

“Yes, I saw that Galron’s appearance and sanity are no different from the living.

If I could use the Netti Card to summon Canis’s soul back to this world, as long as communication is possible, I believe that even if we can’t fully resolve the conflict, there would be some room to maneuver with Baron Gunar.

At the very least, I could prove that the murderer of his eldest son is neither myself nor a member of the Thorny Flower Family.” Leon said, recalling the female assassin that Larian had repelled last night.

“It’s worth a try.

Although Aphrodite’s magic has made a pact with the Dead Sea, which can bring back the souls of the deceased relatively intact to the mortal world, unlike me and Galron, Canis was just an ordinary young man after all.

His death has left barely a trace in the River of Time.

The likelihood of accurately locating his soul among the countless deceased from ages past is quite high, and since he was your enemy in life, he may not even respond to your call, even if he feels it.

Furthermore, the storage in the tower lacks some core materials; we can only make one more of the original Black Cards which should be sufficient to house the soul of an ordinary person.

But if you have further needs in the future, remember to collect enough materials for me,” Lola said as she stood up and walked toward the upper levels.

Leon quickly followed her, “What do we need?”

“I’ll make a list for you in a moment, but a millennium has passed, and whether they still go by the same names in Felu Language is anyone’s guess.

I’ll do my best to describe the characteristics of each material,” Lola answered.

As they talked, Leon followed Miss Mage to the warehouse.

He took the materials needed to make the Netti Card as instructed and then helped her carry them to the top of the tower.

After setting down the materials, he didn’t disturb Lola as she cast her magic.

Instead, he stepped aside and watched silently in amazement as she constructed a complex array of Demon Runes.

Without any tools, in just about half an hour, the materials around her, whether melting, decomposing, or fusing, were reshaped in the streams of Lola’s controlled magic power.

The black Crystal Card condensed within the dazzling white light.

It gently fell into the hands of the silver-haired girl.

Lola turned around and handed over the Netti Card, “It’s done.

Here you go.”

Taking the card, Leon asked, “Speaking of which, do we have to summon the Wandering Souls within the tower?”

“There is no such restriction.

I perform rituals here because I can’t leave, but with your magic power, summoning the soul of an ordinary person independently shouldn’t be a problem.

Just remember the engraving technique for the summoning array and prepare the ritual materials.

You can perform the ritual anywhere with stable elemental conditions,” Lola replied.

“That’s good to hear.

I don’t want people I can’t trust to know about you and this tower,” Leon said, relieved.

Of course, whether he would be successful in bringing Canis’s soul over was another matter.

Tucking away his third Netti Card, Leon was not in a hurry to leave.

He wanted to spend some more time chatting with Lola, whom he hadn’t seen in a long while.

She stayed in the tower every day, and perhaps her unusual irritability upon their meeting was due to a lack of company.

Especially thinking of Larian and others he met yesterday, Leon asked the well-informed Holy Prophet, with a try-it-out attitude, “I’ve been too busy to bring it up, but do you remember, when you were with me, our visit to Dragon Throat City and the castle in the Western Port, where we saw Galliard?”

“I remember,” Lola said, embracing her Magic Wand and recalling the pretentious faux bard.

She nodded.

Reflecting on it, Leon said, “Thinking back now, Kovis mentioned that a Spellcaster had broken the Guardian Magic in the embassy.

Could it have been him?”

He continued, puzzled, “With your knowledge, can you discern the truth about that man?

Why would he go through such lengths to help a troubled couple and sufferers like Miss Elena?”

To Leon’s question, Lola shook her head.

“I don’t know his purpose, but I must correct you on one point.

That Galliard, he’s not human.”

Leon raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Not human?

You’re saying Galliard isn’t human?

Then what is he?”

Lola nonchalantly spread her hands and answered.

“A genuine Dragon, a fully grown…

giant dragon.”
