Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 440 Unlocking Memory
In the Yuanling River northwest of the Lord's Mansion, Loulton widened the river channel, and then put Cayetano's light red soul into it.

As soon as the dragon soaked in, the water level immediately rose a lot.

"Is this okay? 'Hey', how long will it take to wake up?"

asked Sanji, the bird sitting on Heine's shoulder.

Heine touched Sanji's head: "I don't know. We have a soul priest from Zanluo here who has not recovered after being soaked for half a year, but there is also a lich from the north who has become normal after only being soaked for two months. ”

"You have forgotten Gray." Loudon reminded: "The necromancer has been completely lost in McCalla and has become part of the experimental data."

"So have you reached a conclusion?" Heine asked.

"Milton said that it can be concluded for the time being that this treatment process has nothing to do with the individual's strength, but only depends on the strength of the 'obsession'."

"Obsession?"

Loulton: "Yes, stubborn hatred, belief, fanaticism, etc., anything related to 'wanting to live' are obsessions. Gray is obviously insufficient in this regard. Judging from what we know about his life, he The opportunity to become a necromancer was that he accidentally obtained Saberia's spell notes when he was seeking death, and then he was pushed forward by fate.

"He is only a fifth-level necromancer. After he came here, the pollution on his soul was quickly cleared. However, afterwards, his will showed signs of being assimilated by the Elemental Spirit. He even became dependent on the cleansing process and had a tendency to actively disintegrate himself.

"It is now basically confirmed that he gave up resistance and the idea of ​​continuing to live during this process, and his will was broken down into the most basic elemental spirit."

Hearing his description, Heine couldn't help but think of the sand in the Zanluo people's sanctuary.

Those gravels are also equivalent to the disintegrated ancestral spirits.

The only difference with Gray is that Gray really got his wish after choosing death and embraced peace.

Even if those ancestral spirits are disintegrated, they will be bound by the common "will to fight" and continue to be tied to the chariot.

Even the last remnants of their souls will become an accelerant for the militants, causing more ancestor spirits to suffer the same fate as themselves.

It's more like a curse.

The spirits falling into the endless hell are pulling and dragging each other. While they are not dying well, they also want to make their kindred spirits taste the feeling of being unable to sleep peacefully.

How unfortunate...

Lou Dun suddenly asked: "Don't you think this conclusion is terrible?"

Heine was stunned: "Terrible? Why?"

"Because it violates the laws of life and death, as a dying consciousness, he did not leave this world and go to the Shadow Realm or the Underworld."

After thinking for a moment, Heine shook his head.

"His consciousness was indeed disintegrated, but that happened in the other world, so does entering here from the real plane count as a kind of 'leaving'?"

Lou Dun was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Forget it."

Heine couldn't help but wonder: "Are you convinced by me now?"

Loulton: "I just asked Milton, and he said 'Forget it'."

"...don't you have your own opinion?"

"I get all my knowledge from him, so his conclusions are my conclusions."

"Good good."

Heine was too lazy to argue and continued to look at Cayetano who was soaking in the pool.

"When he wakes up, he can't say 'hello' anymore, he has his own name," he said to Sanchi.

"Then will he forget me?" Sanchi asked.

"I don't know, it depends on whether you impress him or not."

Sanchi's head shook a few times, then suddenly flapped his wings and flew above Cayetano, shouting repeatedly:
"'Hey'! You have to remember me! 'Hey, hey, hey'!"

Just when Heine was about to cover his face and sigh that this kid is so stupid, Cayetano suddenly moved!
It flapped its wings and flew up from the water, then looked at Sanji with a pair of bewildered eyes:

"What's up?"

"Great, you still remember me!"

Sanji danced happily around its head.

"Look, look, 'Hey' still remembers me! Still remembers me!"

Heine was shocked!

Lou Dun was also shocked!

It woke up, which meant that the cleaning was over—mostly due to the fact that the Thorin tree itself had already washed it.

But the problem is...

Why haven't the results come out?
It still looks like it only remembers saying "Hey".

Suddenly, Loulton turned his head and looked in the direction of the Lord's Mansion: "Lloyd's memory has recovered, and he said his name is Cayetano."

Heine: “What!?”…

When Heine rode a dragon and returned to the Lord's Mansion with Sanchi and Loulton, Lloyd was sitting face to face with Milton in the study.

The latter finished the examination for him, with a hint of curiosity on his ancestral poker face.

"There are indeed many things in your soul, but how did you hide your memories from Yuan Linghe?"

On the way here, Heine had learned about Lloyd's situation.

This "big boy of Barry", who had been directly purified to death by McCalla's Yuanling since he came here from the Split Toe Clan, has completely recovered his memory.

Heine still remembers when he was stripped from a corpse and only one head was left, just like Kitty, Tiger and other weapon spirits.

But as time passed, he was gradually repaired and had a sound body. Heine also learned soul disguise from him.

But right now, he was pretty sure that this Kitty was not the Lloyd he knew.

Although it is still the same soul body, the feeling is completely different.

He calls himself Cayetano, the dragon named "Hey."

This made Milton very curious - someone actually separated the soul into two parts, deceived Quelkus, deceived Roulton, and deceived him.

Seeing Heine's arrival, Cayetano nodded slightly, and then answered Milton's question:
"Because I store all my memories in the soul that has the vast majority of soul quality. You must have seen it before, that is the dragon. My memory has not been contaminated by the fighting spirit of the Holy Domain, so even if it is purified, it will not be polluted. It will be damaged, and what Lloyd has is just a key.”

"So... you are both Lloyd and Cayetano?" Heine asked.

The giant dragon nodded, his eyes slightly wandering.

"It's a long story."

...

Although he claims that he is also Lloyd, judging from his speaking habits and the fact that when he opens his mouth, he "follows the rules of Dragon Island", Cayetano's soul should be dominant.

The story is divided into two perspectives.

The first is Lloyd's perspective.

He did feel depressed for a while after Barry disappeared. Then he went to the Shadow Temple to ask for an explanation, but to no avail, so he went to the Zanluo Plateau alone.

According to him, necromancers at that time were not so street rats, and "necromancer" was still a respected profession.

The most important thing is that there are close exchanges between the various races, and there are also scholars from orcs, elves and Velitas who go to the Shadow Temple to give lectures.

So Lloyd planned to go to the orc priest to learn how to find the ancestors' spirits, so as to locate Barry and find his father's whereabouts.

But when he arrived at the Sanguy Plateau - the Zanluo Plateau at that time, he discovered something unusual here.

The so-called sanctuary is a soul shield buckled on the Zanluo Plateau, preventing all dead souls from leaving.

Regardless of the orcs or Zanluo people, they cannot stop fighting after death.

Even if you turn into gravel, you must use your remaining body to encourage others and make them more motivated to fight.

In the process, Lloyd discovered that the fanaticism of the sanctuary was contaminating his soul, which had been purified by McCalla.

In order to survive, he, like Heine, awakened the sand in the sanctuary, and thus disguised himself as a soul priest. While traveling among various orc tribes, he walked in the sand-filled sanctuary, looking for the clues and knowledge he needed.

Lloyd stayed here for ten years, found a way to track souls, and immediately returned to McCalla.

But when he arrived at the border, he discovered that McCalla's soul would attack him for no reason.

Only then did he realize that he had been contaminated for too long.

This put him in a dilemma——

Either use Kitile's ancestral soul analysis spell to remove the memories related to the Zanluo Plateau and complete self-purification.

Or turn around and leave.

But his original purpose of leaving home was to bring the technology back to McCalla and then find his father. If he forgot the spells he learned on the plateau, what was the use of returning home?

As a last resort, Lloyd had no choice but to return to the Zanluo Plateau and continue to lurk while thinking about countermeasures.

He soon realized that this was a path of no return.

The more he learns here, the more deeply his soul is tainted, the stronger the bond between the two, and the less likely he is to return to McCalla.

In other words, the "cost" of wanting to go home is higher.

He was completely trapped.

He stayed in the Zanluo Plateau like this until more than two hundred years later, the resentment between the Zanluo people and the orcs completely broke out.

"It was at this time that I traveled to the Zanluo Plateau."

Cayetano said, switching the perspective back to his side.
