Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 625 - 623 Resurrection... Disaster

Somewhere on the East Coast, a secret base, an underground hall. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

In the hall, Muse still wore the clothes she had fought in earlier, much of it shredded and stained with the blood of enemies and her own, looking utterly miserable.

Yet Muse stood quietly, scanning the people in the hall with her remaining right eye, her aura still overwhelmingly strong—showing no signs of weakness even after killing more than twenty powerful wizards. This made everyone in the hall dare not breathe heavily and they kept their heads down as they busied themselves with their tasks—with the first phase of the plan unfolding, there was even more work than before, leaving almost no one idle.

At that moment, with a creak, the doors of the hall opened and Franklin entered with a group of people.

Seeing Muse, Franklin bowed his head and respectfully said, "Muse Housekeeper."

"Is the lakeside matter settled?" Muse glanced at Franklin with one eye and asked.

"All settled," Franklin quickly replied.

"Good, go and resurrect the fallen personnel. There’s more to come, and we are too few in number to handle it all," Muse said.

"Yes," Franklin nodded, turned around, and was about to leave to carry out the order, but then he seemed to remember something, looked at Muse, and spoke in a low voice, "Muse Housekeeper, the materials for resurrection... it seems we don’t have much left. Even with the batch from Deep Blue Castle, the quality is not very good, and the quantity... it’s not enough to resurrect all the fallen members, you see..."

"Foolish!" Muse coldly snorted, "Then why didn’t you prioritize resurrecting the important personnel first? Do I need to spoon-feed you such trivial matters!"

Franklin’s body trembled, not daring to retort but quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I’ll do it right away."

"Right!" Muse suddenly remembered something, raised her hand, and added, "Resurrect Tu Ke first. Once he is resurrected, I want to cast Prediction Magic on him to figure out exactly what happened by the lake."

"Understood..." Franklin said and with a creak, pushed the door open and left the council hall, quickly taking his people to get it done.

After leaving the council hall, Franklin let out a long sigh before hurrying with his subordinates to the warehouse. They fetched the many materials needed for resurrection and headed to the Resurrection Stone Chamber.

The Resurrection Stone Chamber was as before: nearly ten meters high and twenty meters in length and width, built from thousands of square, black giant stones, intricately carved with Magic Runes both inside and out, mysterious and eerie.

In the center of the chamber’s floor was a depression, two meters long and wide, and several dozen centimeters deep, resembling a pool. At that moment, it was hollow and empty.

Led by Franklin, his subordinates walked to the door. With a wave of his hand, two subordinates carrying a frozen naked wizard’s corpse walked into the chamber and gently placed it inside the pool.

Franklin waved again, and the other subordinates entered, each holding a Magic Rune-carved Stone Altar. They opened the sealed lids and began to pour various liquids from the altars into the pool.

Each Stone Altar contained a different liquid: some red like blood, some milky white like milk, some pitch black like a poison, and some deep green like plant juice.

As these liquids continuously poured in, the pool slowly filled up with a colorful mixture. Finally, as the last deep purple liquid emitting a pungent odor was added, an amazing transformation occurred.

The pool’s liquid touched the deep purple liquid and rapidly turned crystal clear, with the previous strange smells gone, emitting a faint, clean fragrance.

Having completed this step, all the subordinates exited the stone chamber, looking to Franklin.

Under his subordinates’ gaze, Franklin took a deep breath and flipped his hand, a wooden box appearing in it.

Opening the wooden box, it contained several crystal rods, each about the thickness of a finger and several centimeters long.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Franklin stepped up to the doorway of the stone chamber, placing his hand on a black giant stone at the door’s edge, channeling Mana into it, activating the Magic Runes. Several areas suddenly depressed, revealing slots just suited for inserting the crystal rods.

"Click, click, click..."

Without any further ado, Franklin inserted all the rods from the box into the slots and again channeled Mana into the wall, activating the entire Resurrection Stone Chamber and performing the necessary controls.

Soon, Franklin saw magic runes inside the chamber light up one by one, following a certain pattern while flashing continuously and emitting a "buzzing" sound.

Franklin glanced at the liquid in the pool and noticed bubbles rising from the bottom. He breathed a sigh of relief but did not take his hands off the wall; instead, he continued to operate.

"Gurgle gurgle!"

The liquid in the pool started boiling, thawing the body and emitting a large amount of white steam, while the rumbling coming from the chamber grew louder.

At this point, Muse, who seemed a bit impatient in the conference hall, walked out and came near the Resurrection Stone Chamber. He glanced at Franklin and frowned, "Isn’t it done yet, why are you so slow?"

Franklin shivered, sweat seeping out of his face, repeatedly saying, "Just a moment, just a moment." As he spoke, he accelerated the pace of operation, frantically injecting mana into the wall.

"Gurgle gurgle!"

Instantly, the boiling of the liquid in the pool became violent, with the chamber rumbling incessantly.

After a while, suddenly all noise ceased; the rumbling disappeared, and the boiling liquid returned to calm, only a large cloud of white mist lingered in the chamber.

Then, with a "splash," the body in the pool sat up.

Franklin looked at Muse and cautiously said, "Muse Housekeeper, the resurrection was successful."

"Hmm," Muse replied indifferently, his eyes turned toward the person in the pool and called out, "Tu Ke!"

Hearing his name, the person in the pool reacted; with a "splash," the body stood up, seemingly ready to walk out of the pool and the chamber.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

"Ah!"

The person in the pool screamed from his throat, his eyes bulging wide, one hand uncontrollably grabbed his own neck while the other flailed wildly in mid-air.

"Ah! Crack! Ah!"

The person in the pool kept screaming; with a "snap," he fell down and then began convulsing. During the convulsions, a large amount of fresh blood seeped out from his body, quickly staining the remaining liquid in the pool red.

"Splash splash!"

The sound of water continued, everyone’s eyes widened.

After a long while, the person in the pool calmed down, floating motionless in the water, and turned back into a corpse. Everyone was stunned, having never encountered such a situation before.

Franklin reacted the most intensely, his face turning pale in an instant as he looked at Muse, swallowing nervously, his voice trembling, "Muse Housekeeper, this... this is not my fault, I... I assure you I followed all the procedures. It must be the materials, there must be something wrong with the body, I... Let’s replace the body and resurrect again, it will definitely succeed..."

His voice suddenly vanished mid-sentence, his eyes wide open; the expressions of those around him weren’t any better, their faces showing sheer shock.

Then a "crack" was heard, a fissure alarmingly appeared on the outer wall of the Resurrection Stone Chamber, then the crack quickly spread, with "crack crack crack" sounds, rapidly making the entire chamber, inside and out, look like a spider web.

"This this this!"

Franklin disbelievingly reached out to touch the stone wall, and just as his arm was about to touch the wall, with a "whoosh," the entire stone chamber thunderously collapsed.

This!

Franklin was stunned, as quiet as a chicken.
