Chapter 44 Small talk magic
In the past two days, whenever Frederick was free, he took out a few wheat seeds for research.

When he left Chestnut Village, he asked for a handful of strengthened wheat seeds, observed them carefully, and even bit a few.

However, he has not been able to find any difference between these wheat seeds and ordinary wheat seeds, and they cannot be distinguished when they are mixed together, until he met an expert.

At this time, he was in a place called Oak Village, where the headquarters of the excavated canal was located.

There are civil engineers at the University of Wessenburg. They optimized the direction of the canal on the basis of Frederick's survey and design, shortened the length of the canal from 16 kilometers to less than 10 kilometers, and built a special commercial city in Oak Village. .

Although the distance is shorter, there are a few small hills to be dug, and the overall engineering volume has not changed much.

Craftsmen and workers from the Nuremberg Stonemasons' Guild began to arrive one after another after receiving a 30% advance payment. Frederick came this time to have a meeting with their great craftsman Edward to discuss construction matters.

The old civil engineering buddies of Wessenburg University are also working here, and the team is currently led by the vice president Manuai.

As soon as the necromancer saw the wheat seeds in Frederick's hand, he asked, "Principal, where did you find these wheat seeds with such strong vitality?"

"Oh?" Frederick asked him in surprise, "Can you see that?"

Manuai sat down on a chair beside him, took the wheat seeds from Frederick, looked at them and said: "We necromancers are evil people who can manipulate life force, so we are particularly sensitive to it. Just as a drunkard can smell which wine is stronger, a rider can tell which horse is better at a glance."

Frederick hadn't talked to him about necromancer magic yet, so he asked before leaving the project meeting, "I heard that you can also manipulate corpses?"

Manuai said: "Yes, but it must be a corpse that has just died a few days ago and still has muscles."

"The necromantic art of manipulating corpses, imbuing them with false life with a simulated life force, is like a marionette in our hands."

"Because of this, we are demons in the eyes of the common people, and some people will make us an important role in the conspiracy."

"For example, someone poisoned his father, and let the necromancer manipulate the corpse to act like a living person and declare that he would give all his property to the murderer."

"There are some more disgusting things, you will know when you grow up."

"We also show up on the battlefield and can make dead soldiers die a few more times."

"During the civil strife in Constantbul, a warlord asked us to hand over all the women in the university and library to his army."

"Let's just say let him and the officers come in and pick them out first, and then poison them all at the banquet."

"Later, I manipulated the corpse of the warlord to order to give way to the port, but I was seen through halfway, and my behavior was not the same as in the past. We had just retreated halfway, so we fought a battle."

"At that time, the top officers of the army were all dead, and I frightened them away by raising the dead soldiers again. In the end, we all fled to the ship and left Constantbul."

After hearing this, Frederick understood, but there is still a question: "Hey, didn't you say that necromancers can manipulate skeletons?"

Manuai shook his head and said, "That's necromancers, their professional direction is virtual souls, and the golem puppet control core researched by Ogilvy was developed from them."

"In our eyes, the necromancer and the golem puppeteer are actually different branches of the same magic system, both of which are based on the virtual soul, but the necromancer uses the magic element to control the bones, and the golem puppeteer is Make your own magical muscles and metal bones."

"But you can't say this to Ogilvy, they hate being compared with Necromancer very much."

Frederick understood, thinking that the magical world is really wonderful.

Pointing to the wheat seeds, he said, "This is the seed that Matthias has strengthened. It is said that it can increase the yield."

Suddenly, Manuai realized, and said, "So that's the case. No wonder, he asked me about life force before."

Frederick asked curiously: "So, the seeds are infused with the false vitality of necromancy?"

"No." Manuai shook his head. "The vitality of these wheat is real. I think he used some method to increase the vitality and make it more active."

"This kind of wheat is more lively and durable than ordinary wheat, and it is no problem to increase production."

"He is such a genius. This kind of thing only exists in theory, and he can actually achieve it through external control."

"Theoretically, if this method can be used on people, it can make people live forever."

Frederick was frightened by this kind of life-changing magic, and he wanted to ask Mathias if his QQ number was 337845818.

"But this is only theoretical." Manuai shrugged and returned the wheat seeds to Frederick, "The human body is like a colander, and its vitality is like water. As the body ages, more and more holes will leak out. Hurry up, the last amount of vitality is not enough."

"Currently there is no conclusion on how the vitality affects the body. The only consensus is that the false vitality that exceeds the limit of the human body will cause body mutation."

"It is also very important that whether the enhancement is controllable has not been conclusive in the past."

"My teacher's teacher once tried to strengthen his own life force with a false life force. He spent a lot of time perfecting the theory. Later... the sphincter became like wings."

"My teacher experimented with a chicken, and the chicken grew six wings and died not long after."

"I don't dare to follow their path anymore, and I don't let my students get involved in this field."

"Compared with humans and other animals, plants are much simpler and have a higher error tolerance rate for mutation."

"Mathias couldn't see the plants he cultivated before, and he was ridiculed for a long time. Now he should have found the law from countless failures."

"From my understanding, he has limitedly strengthened the earing part of the wheat, and it is estimated that the root system has also been strengthened."

Frederick entered a state of ignorance, and didn't understand the principle for a while, thinking it was the same as space radiation breeding.

"I'm very strange." He had a new question, "This magic is so powerful, why does the scene look ordinary?"

Manuai laughed, thinking that this is what a child should think, the more gorgeous the magic, the more powerful it is.

"Magic can't look at appearances." As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and after a few breaths, a black ball the size of a ping-pong ball appeared above his hand.

This black ball has no reflection at all, it looks like charcoal, and it looks ordinary.

He smiled and asked Frederick: "What do you think of this magic?"

Frederick looked left and right, but didn't see anything special.

"Is this magic powerful?" he asked.

Manuai did not answer, but raised his left hand, and condensed an identical black ball that looked ordinary, and then said, "Which of these two magics do you think can kill you at once?"

Frederick's expression became serious in an instant. He looked left and right, but he couldn't find the difference between the two magic black balls.

In the end, he could only shake his head and say, "I can't tell the difference."

Manuei motioned Frederick to go outside with him.

They came outside the village and found two big trees that were about to be cut down inside the red line of the canal. Manuai didn't move, and the two black balls flew towards the tree trunk respectively, and became bigger and bigger on the way.

When the tree trunk, which can only be hugged by two or three people, touched the black magic ball with a diameter of one meter, it was as if an ice cube met hot water, and it was corroded and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The corner of Frederick's mouth twitched, and he meowed, both of them could kill him.

Then he and Manuai ran away, and the tree fell towards him.

After running to a safe place, two magic black balls appeared in Manuai's hands. Frederick observed it carefully and found that it was the same as before.

Then Frederick was smeared, and nothing happened.

On the way back to the village, Manuai said to Frederick: "The effect and power of a magic can't just be seen on the outside. Magicians nowadays deliberately disguise powerful magic as simple magic."

"If you make a mistake in the magic battle, you will lose your sex, so you have to use every conceivable method."

"Extending from this, when magicians invent new magic, they will make some special designs on the appearance of magic, so that outsiders can't see the magic circle circuit of magic, but its interior is not ambiguous at all."

Frederick looked suddenly enlightened, thinking that there was another way to say this.
