The Death List Novel - Chapter 197
Chapter 197 Resurrection
“Is there only a one-third chance of resurrection?” Qin Lun was slightly regretful, but he still firmly chose to resurrect Frank.
Qin Lun rarely did things that he wasn’t confident about. Before he entered Nars World, he had actually tried to revive Frank. But when he gathered some information about this, he found that he was taking it for granted.
It was not uncommon for the apostolic guild to want to resurrect their companions. In every mission world, many apostles would perish. There were always apostles who wanted to resurrect their companions, friends, wives, brothers, and so on.
No matter what level of apostle’s body collapsed, the apostle’s soul imprint would basically shatter. The Apostle Soul Seal is different from ordinary souls. It is a unique container for storing the Apostle Soul in the shattered starry sky. Once it was shattered, apart from the special “parts” of certain high-level creatures, even the shattered starry sky would no longer be able to preserve the souls of the apostles, and they could only allow them to dissipate.
Exclude the special souls of the apostles. If, like Qin Lun, he brings in an ordinary soul from the mission world and wants to resurrect them in the shattered starry sky. Then two conditions must be met. One is that the soul has the ability to travel through space and time, and the other is to find a suitable body.
Qin Lun had tried to buy a Native American who had shattered the starry sky, turning it into a walking corpse in a vegetative or soulless state, and then possessing Frank’s soul. From the information obtained by the mercenaries, it was clear that many of the apostles had tried this method. But by far the most successful examples are those where the soul has been possessed for several months, and then the soul and the body decay at the same time.
Of all the information about the resurrection of the apostles, there are only two rumors that are slightly more reliable.
One was to hunt down a superior creature. The body of a superior creature with infinite energy to suppress this rate of decay was basically to replenish the soul energy with the energy of the body so that it could be balanced to a certain extent. However, high-ranking creatures were powerful and rarely seen even in the High Demon World. This was not a solution that Qin Lun could handle.
The other method was to exchange his life for his own. While not destroying the body of Laws, he would shatter an apostle’s soul imprint and then merge Frank’s soul into it. This method was still very difficult, and the success rate of possession was also very low.
In fact, if it weren’t for the appearance of the Guardian, Qin Lun’s intended target would have been Sass.
[Apostle 70053, you have confirmed that a human soul has been incorporated into the Law Body of Apostle 49031. The Law Body of Apostle 49031 will begin to reconstruct … Whether Apostle 70053 is willing to pay for this reconstitution, you can choose to pay it on credit and settle it together upon return. At that time, the shortage will be offset by the Apostle Equipment …]
Qin Lun was speechless. In the end, he could only accept the blackmail from the Shattered Star System and begin to transfuse blood to the corpse.
[Apostle 49031’s Laws Body has lost its Apostle Soul Seal, its original fusion skill has disappeared … its original combat profession has been erased …]
“… The original bloodline of the Laws Body has decayed. Due to the influence of the Laws of the Undead in the Narse World, the current bloodline of the Undead remains …”
[… I have detected that the newly incorporated soul has a high proficiency in hand axes. The long-hilt weapon of the Law Body is proficient in [Intermediate Skill], converted into [Intermediate Skill], Basic Shield Mastery (Basic Skill)] …]
‘”The Law Body has been reconstructed. It retains 80% of its HP and 30% of its mana. It retains 65% of its original basic attributes.”
‘”The human soul has successfully transformed into a new Apostle Soul Seal. According to the terms of the Apostle Contract, Apostle 70053 is required to share 50 Longevity Soul Points. The current Longevity Soul Points is 50/50″
[Note: The new apostle number is still 49031. The cost of reconstruction is 32,000 broken crystals. Its individual attributes are as follows:
Name: Frank Stan; Apostle No.: 49031
Bloodline: Basic necromancy; Title: None; Longevity Soul: 50/50
HP 780, Energy 225, Explosive Power 35, Agility 12, Constitution 30, Perception 7
Bloodline Ability: Cold Will, Zombie Body
Tips: Axe Skill Proficiency (Intermediate Skill), Basic Shield Mastery (Basic Skill); Skill column: None
[New Apostle Trial Mission: Source of Strength (Same as Master)]
“The price is a little high!” Looking at the information on the death list, Qin Lun let out a light breath.
This apostle’s corpse could have provided him with one bloodline item or two skill scrolls. In addition to the cost of reconstructing his Laws Body, he had spent more than 130,000 crystals, basically two Hellfire Devilhounds.
Looking at the 50/65 lifespan limit, Qin Lun smiled bitterly. Shattering the crystal was still a small matter, but the lifespan limit could not be raised. If it weren’t for the fact that he had just obtained the 10 Longevity Soul Limit, he would only have 55 points left. If he hadn’t completed one mission, he would have returned to dust.
Now that Qin Lun had realized the effect of the upper limit of his longevity soul, he had a little guess about the upper limit of his longevity soul from the point of view of resurrecting Frank.
Perhaps the higher apostles would also have to pay the price of the upper limit of their lifespans if they recruited the apostle’s servants. The higher the apostle level, the more difficult the mission would be, and the higher the lifespan limit might be.
Fortunately, he was only an apostle of the second rank, and the mission he received was basically to deduct 50 Longevity Soul Points. By the time his apostle level reached the third level, Frank would have been able to share hundreds of Longevity Soul Points in the resurrection.
Although the price he paid was a little unimaginable, Qin Lun felt relieved. He finally succeeded in reviving Frank.
‘”Oh ~ ~” Lying on the ground, “The Body of the Apostle” took a long breath and straightened its upper body, looking around blankly.
“Frank!” Qin Lun smiled and hugged the stinky body. He looked up at Hill and the others and said, “Guys, give me five minutes!”
“Of course!” Hill and the others tactfully retreated a distance, leaving Qin Lun alone with the newly revived Frank.
“Where is this place? I” Frank looked at Qin Lun blankly.
“Frank, do you remember anything else?” Qin Lun carefully observed his former servant, wanting to confirm if he still had any memories of the past.
“Frank? I’m … Frank! I remember …” Frank ripped off the mask on his face and hugged his head as he pondered bitterly.
“Wei … Young Master Wellington!” Frank suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked around in panic, “Young Master Wellington …”
“Frank, it’s me, Wellington!” Qin Lun’s eyes revealed a trace of relief. He stood up and pulled Frank, “Listen to me. Frank …”
After more than ten minutes, Frank finally calmed down. He reached out and caressed Qin Lun’s face, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. “You don’t look like … Young Master Wellington!”
“Frank, the body is just a skin pouch. The soul is the essence. I am Wellington Stan, your brother.” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed, “Shine a light on the lake. You’re not like Frank anymore!”
“Who is this? I…” Frank leaned down to the lake. A pale, bloodless, stiff face appeared in the lake. Some of the skin on his cheeks loosened and peeled off, revealing rotten muscles that had shrunk like rotten wood. However, no matter what, this was not his previous appearance.
“Frank, think about what I told you. There are some things that only you and I know, aren’t there?” Qin Lun squatted beside Frank and guided him in a soft voice.
“In that case, you really are Young Master Wellington!” Frank raised his head and slowly focused his gaze on Qin Lun’s face. “Young Master, that witch … are we … already dead?”
“Yes, to some extent, the original us is already dead!” Qin Lun smiled and patted Frank on the shoulder. “Let’s go. I’ll tell you something else later!”
Seeing Qin Lun and Frank walking towards the crowd, Hill and Hansen exchanged a glance. An undetectable light flashed in the depths of their pupils. From Hill and Hansen’s point of view, Qin Lun had revived a loyal servant, clearly one step ahead of them. This was even more worrying than the Dark Gold equipment he had obtained.
‘”Congratulations, Qin Lun! Then what should we do now?” Cora asked with a smile.
“We don’t need to do anything. Just wait here!” After pondering for a moment, Qin Lun replied, “Our main mission is unknown. We need a certain mission environment. However, I believe that through the teleportation array, we should be able to trigger some signals from the Narsley world. Perhaps someone will come looking for us soon!”
“Do you think … there will be danger?” Sass asked worriedly.
“There shouldn’t be any danger to his life!” Hill smiled and interrupted, “If the storyline character who sealed the teleportation formation wanted to completely seal off the inner world, then he wouldn’t have set a sacrifice requirement.”
“Hill is right, but we need to make some preparations now. The mages who set the sacrificial requirements shouldn’t be considered worthy men and women!” Hansen added with a cold smile.
“By the way, Sir Qin Lun, there’s still one thing I can’t figure out about the previous guidance mission!” Kora frowned and asked, “Our current quest is 65%, and every child we find next increases by 10% by 95%. Haven’t we done it perfectly yet?”
“Haha, Mrs. Cora, your requirements are really high!” Qin Lun laughed out loud. “Nothing can be perfect! As for the remaining 5% progress of the guidance mission, I believe it should be related to that troll Fink! We couldn’t find out why it was stuck in the Crystal Lake campsite. This should be on me. If I had searched its underground nest a bit longer, I might have found out the reason!”
“I was thinking too much!” Cora smiled bitterly. At that time, everyone was on high alert. Accidents happened one after another. It was hard for Qin Lun to stay in the underground nest and search.
“Hey, guys, look to the east. It seems like our men are here!” Just as everyone was discussing, Hansen, who was the most vigilant, suddenly reminded them.
