Chapter 249: Selling This Corpse to Me for Dissection?
“The judging panel was really tough.”
After another hour of bickering, both parties walked out of the conference room. Gretel touched the back of his neck, his palms were wet, and he was obviously sweating profusely.
Of course, this intensity of negotiation—or argument—is still very fruitful. He got a laboratory, no, a mage tower!
The Magic Council funded and helped him rebuild the P4 laboratory according to his request! The drawings Grete produced this time are for a 4-story laboratory including a sewage treatment layer, an operation layer, a pipeline layer and an air filtration layer!
Moreover, since it has been determined that it will be built to the fourth level, and it will also come with magic defense and magic control, the review meeting will simply decide to build him a mage tower. As for the cost of building the energy pool of the mage tower itself and the tower spirit enlightenment outside the laboratory, we owe it first, and we are allowed to use the mage tower as a mortgage and pay in installments...
And the Magic Council was not without gains. Within half a year, Gretel was obliged to explain the documents he delivered, teach and guide the personnel sent by the Magic Council, and train and assess them. Of course, the parliament can send no more than 30 students...
If the parliament establishes a second P4 laboratory, Grete has the obligation and authority to conduct inspection and acceptance. If the inspection fails, the laboratory is not allowed to operate.
The remuneration for the above work is included in the construction cost of the laboratory, no, the magic tower, and will not be paid separately.
Ah... selling an aircraft carrier for 1 billion U.S. dollars, followed by subsequent modification, maintenance, personnel training, and weapons equipment, totaling 6 billion U.S. dollars. The wisdom of fighting nations in previous lives is still useful... Grete crossed his arms happily and hummed softly. Started singing.
Well, next, let’s wait for them to release the drawings of the mage tower!
"This little guy is really tough to deal with."
The two great magicians from the School of Protection and the School of Transformation smiled bitterly at each other. After the round of negotiations just now, they had a hard time, and they were also wet and sweating profusely.
Gretel refused to give in, and even dared to slam the table in front of a group of great magicians like them, throwing out words one after another that he didn't understand. It sounds reasonable, but the consequences are terrible and shocking...
"Don't say that. The rabbit will bite when it's anxious!"
The one from the prophecy department smiled and shook his head, his eyes soft. The black-robed mage frowned:
"Isn't it bad for us to do this? Logically speaking...he should be rewarded for the incident in Glory City, but all of them are withheld like this?"
"Are you stupid?" Old Sam suddenly turned his head and glared at him. His eyes were sharp, and from the depths of his pupils, lightning and sparks were almost erupting:
"Little Gretel is a healer! A healer!!! Which healer can still be happy when he hears that hundreds of thousands of people died from the plague he created? How anxious and busy was he when the plague was leaked a few days ago? Didn't you see that? You're not trying to reward him, you're trying to kill him!
Do you think he is your Necromancer? ——I put this sentence here, even if he made these plague seeds, it was not to harm people, it was definitely to save people! "
Gretel, who was "in order to save people", was respectfully invited to the mage tower next to him as soon as he left the Tower of Babel. Led by Archmage Edgar, the mentor of Master Lin En who he had dealt with before, a group of necromancers accompanied him inside:
"Little Gretel, what should we do with the spy who escaped from your laboratory?"
"Mr. Nordmark, the Prophecy School has dealt with the spy, and we have taken out everything we should. What should we do next?"
"Can I be summoned directly as a skeleton soldier?"
"Or become a zombie?"
The auxiliary tower in Black Crow Swamp is made in the shape of a pyramid, covering an area wider than the other towers, and the bottom is also particularly deep - the top is a straight pyramid, and the bottom is an inverted pyramid. Gretel was surrounded by the crowd and walked all the way down the sloping corridor, feeling quite like being buried in a tomb.
Walking into the hinterland of the pyramid, taking the elevator down to more than ten floors, we entered the tomb - or in other words, entered the special layer where corpses are preserved. The temperature on the entire floor was extremely low. Grete shuddered and immediately handed over a badge:
"Positive energy talisman. Every grid here is soaked with negative energy. You can't stop it with [cold and heat resistance] alone. You have to use this."
The badge in his hand was a golden circle in the shape of a sun. Gretel strongly suspected that it was stolen from the Church of Radiance. He put on the badge as instructed, felt warm all over, and breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. Although at the same time, the necromancers next to them all took two steps away...
Gretel followed the necromancers deep into the tomb. The tomb looked clean. There was nothing special about it except that the walls were not made of bricks and stones, but were made of dry thigh bones and skulls. The necromancer who led the way looked at him frequently, but Grete kept his expression unchanged and walked forward in stride.
The spy who committed suicide was sealed in a giant piece of ice. Inside the ice, there was a slight gap in the part that was in contact with the corpse. It was definitely not a lie to say that the Necromancer faction had "taken out what needed to be taken out". Grete looked around the body, then looked around again, and finally let out a long breath:
"Have you ever opened this ice coffin?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Archmage Edgar hurriedly assured. Behind him, two black-robed mages shook their heads frequently, almost becoming phantoms. Further back, two skeletons clicked and really shook their heads off...
Gretel was relieved. God knows how many deadly bacteria were on this corpse. It would have been better if the ice coffin had been sealed, but it would have been fatal if it had not been sealed. He pondered for a moment:
"It's okay to make a skeleton soldier, but it's best not to use zombies... After all, there are too many pathogenic bacteria in the skin and muscles, which are easy to spread. The skeleton soldiers can also be soaked with disinfectant water. But..."
He looked at Archmage Edgar expectantly:
"Can you sell this body to me? I have cash! 100, no, 200 contribution points!"
Edgar: "..."
He heard about what happened at the judging panel! Gretel started haggling, which is called being careless, but which is called refusing to give in! But now, 200 contribution points are spent casually without batting an eye!
You know, 200 contribution points is almost the annual income of a level 2 mage!
"The corpse of a level 7 thief, the official price is 500 contribution points." He answered flatly. Grete didn't even think about it: "Deal!"
Corpse!
It’s been a while since I’ve done an anatomy!
And it was a corpse infected with multiple infectious diseases!
What’s wrong with 500 contribution points? It’s not like we can’t afford it!
Archmage Edgar originally wanted to say, "If you give two lectures, we will waive the bill." But now he is too embarrassed to mention it. He moved out of the way, motioned to the two skeletons to move forward to move the ice coffin, and asked Gretel:
"Are you doing the dissection here?"
"Absolutely not! - This needs to be dissected in my laboratory! Otherwise the plague will be leaked and it will be over!"
"Okay, I'll help you transport it there. Can you watch the dissection?"
"sure!"
Then, Gretel made the first cut with full confidence in front of the dissecting table in the laboratory.
...can't cut it.
(I’m so tired. Let’s update the two thousand in the morning...)
