The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 85: Biphasic Potion


Noel looked at the players whispering below, completely oblivious to what they were talking about.

Originally, Xia Lin planned to send any merfolk over, but couldn't resist Noel's persistence and finally agreed to let Noel come personally.

And Noel came here just to see if there was any fighting to be had, her two major joys in life: eating delicious food and fighting.

When she used to stay in the underground cave, she often fought with other Merfolk Knights, beating them so that they would avoid her when they saw her, which made Noel quite frustrated.

Later, under Xia Lin's supervision, she barely managed to calm down, but that didn't mean she gave up her hobby of fighting.

Mage Fang Ka didn't allow them to interfere with Gana, which left Noel helpless, as Fang Ka controlled her food supply, and she didn't dare to defy Fang Ka.

This time, however, assisting the players seemed to present an opportunity for her.

In her view, if these subordinates of Fang Ka encountered danger, it would be reasonable to lend a helping hand, right? Not considered forced interference, right?

Perhaps Fang Ka should even add a little extra to her meals for her assistance?

With these little thoughts in mind, she pestered Xia Lin to take on this responsibility.

Only, after arriving here, she found that things seemed a bit different from what she had imagined.

Indeed, many of Fang Ka's subordinates were injured, with even two lying on makeshift stretchers, their bones covered in cracks.

But the problem was, there was no sign of any Gana threatening them, and there were piles of Gana corpses stacked like a small mountain in front of them.

She could no longer feel any Battle Energy presence from this Gana Forbidden Domain, which indicated that all the knights among the Gana had been taken care of by these subordinates of Fang Ka.

As for mages, although she, as a knight, couldn't sense magical auras, just looking at the pile of corpses in front of her one could guess.

Most likely, they were also buried by these subordinates of Fang Ka.

Her gaze lingered on these Gana corpses for a moment, Noel sighed slightly, and then swam out of the Forbidden Domain.

This time was a huge loss, a wasted trip.

The players stared at Noel's departing figure, someone curiously asked, "Did you guys see? Just now Noel seemed to sigh? Why do you think that is?"

A player immediately chimed in, "What else could it be? It's definitely because Mage Fang Ka didn't come along with her."

Iron Black Pot shook their head: "Mage Fang Ka is so busy, it's understandable he couldn't come along, it's just that the mermaid girl might be a bit unhappy."

Sea Flip glanced at Iron Black Pot: "Hmph, what do you know, there must be some big event among it all."

Iron Black Pot scrutinized Sea Flip for a while before speaking: "Big event? Everything becomes a big event with you, come on, analyze it for me."

Sea Flip puffed out their chest: "Let me analyze it for you."

"Surely it's because Mage Fang Ka arranged for other mermaids to come and receive us behind Noel's back."

"And Noel, after hearing about this, felt jealous because Mage Fang Ka entrusted such an important task to other mermaids, so she took on the task herself."

"And now the more she thinks about it, the more upset she gets, but she can't find a suitable reason to vent to Mage Fang Ka, hence the sigh."

Mr. Zhou curled up his fingers and flicked Sea Flip's forehead: "You're always so nosy, hurry up and tidy up the corpses, we're preparing to transport them to the Ancient Castle."

Sea Flip immediately collected their thoughts: "Oh, right, right, money first, let's get the corpses sent over for settlement."

The players began to move, starting to transport the bodies to the shore.

Once they had moved the Gana corpses to the shore, the players then began to transport the bodies to the Ancient Castle.

At this time, Fang Ka was sitting on a reclining chair in front of the Ancient Castle meditating, and about a dozen meters away, there was an adult Pink Merfolk sitting on the ground, looking idly and occasionally glancing at Fang Ka's side profile.

This was the merfolk Fang Ka requested from Xia Lin.

She would stay here during the time players traveled in and out of the Forbidden Domain and help Fang Ka with statistics after players transported the corpses over.

Fang Ka handed her an Alchemy Potion.

Just a drop on a corpse's head, if it was a mage with a Demon Source, the colorless transparent liquid would turn black.

If it was a knight with a Vital Acupoint, the colorless transparent liquid would turn golden.

This Alchemy Potion is called 'Biphasic Potion', a very easy to make basic potion.

Even those who have not cultivated Battle Energy or Magic Power, as long as they have a Demon Source or Vital Acupoint, will reveal the corresponding color.

It is generally used widely to distinguish whether a creature has a Demon Source or Vital Acupoint.

After all, if detected manually, only mages can detect the Demon Cave, and Vital Acupoints similarly have to be detected by knights, which is extremely troublesome.

It is worth mentioning that many people use this alchemy potion to detect the Demon Source or Vital Acupoint in newborn high-intelligence animal cubs.

If a Demon Source or Vital Acupoint is detected, they will be taken away to be raised from a young age, taught magic or Battle Energy.

These are generally referred to as Magic Pets.

Magic Pets can only choose high-intelligence animals, because even if low-intelligence ones have a Demon Source or Vital Acupoint, they cannot learn magic or cultivate Battle Energy.

Fang Ka once read in a book about a mage a thousand years ago who created a Contract Magic that worked on souls to replace the traditional way of nurturing emotions with Magic Pets from a young age.

Only, it was later directly hunted down by various forces, because these forces believed that if you can enslave animals with souls today, then tomorrow you'll be enslaving humans with souls.

No force was willing for other forces to control such magic.

After the incident, the various forces of the time held a meeting and passed the 'Human Rights Protection Accord'.

This directly defined such soul-type magic as a Dark Element that everyone wanted to eliminate.

Mages were strictly prohibited from conducting any research into this type of magic, and violators would be treated as Necromancers.

The 'Human Rights Protection Accord' has continued to this day, with all forces maintaining and adhering to it, and thus Magic Pets still rely on the traditional method of emotional nurturing.

Fang Ka once read these introductions in a book and curiously asked Kain.

What is the difference between this Soul Contract Magic and the Netherworld creature summoning magic that Kain performs?

Kain at that time simply told him that the Soul Contract Magic that directly affects the souls of creatures is fundamentally different from the magic of summoning Netherworld undead creatures and forming a Soul Contract.

Moreover, Kain at that time showed great disdain for such direct soul-enforcing Contract Magic and did not say much to Fang Ka.
