Chapter 126: Chapter 113: We Might All Be Treated as Knife Wielders! (Please Subscribe)
Under Lynn’s not-so-impressive consolations, Bai Ge finally stopped crying and then looked at him eagerly, with a pitiful appearance.
“Let’s do this, don’t resist for now, I want to conduct a small experiment.” Lynn stepped closer, placed his hand on Bai Ge’s head, and then infiltrated her spiritual body with his spiritual power.
This was exactly the method of using Spiritual Witchcraft [Necromancy Control].
A terrified expression instantly appeared on the girl’s face, she could feel something seeping into her body, instinctively wanting to resist or flee, but remembering Lynn’s instructions, Bai Ge endured it, just closing her eyes in resignation to her fate.
This feeling… was very strange… Once the casting was completed, Lynn immediately discovered that he seemed to have gained another body that he could control at will.
With a thought, the ghostly girl beside him raised her hand and then spun around on the spot a few times…
At this moment, Bai Ge also realized she had lost control of her body. Having studied Spiritual Magic, she naturally understood what was happening and immediately stared at Lynn with a deeply resentful gaze, looking like she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Lynn, who had originally planned to weigh the girl’s spiritual body, had no choice but to stop. However, the moment he relinquished control, Bai Ge transformed into a faint blue light and shot directly into his body.
The intelligent brain system’s prompt tone rang out again.
[Special energy body absorbed, can be converted into 12% energy reserve. Use immediately?]
“No!” Lynn quickly replied, then couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the situation.
Bai Ge had chosen to return to the intelligent brain’s reserve quite to avoid his experiment, not realizing that it was the most dangerous place for her.
Does this mean the intelligent brain has become Bai Ge’s spiritual anchor?
Lynn immediately thought of this possibility, since soul bodies are not able to exist independently without a physical body, even a third-circle wizard like Radak had to create a soul container for himself.
But the current situation might be better described as bondage.
“Let’s name this energy Soul Power,” Lynn mused aloud.
[Information has been loaded into the database…]
Although the spiritual body experiment had just begun and already ended, Lynn still managed to obtain some information. Firstly, as Radak had guessed, the magic potion made with the Eye of Death could indeed turn someone into a spiritualist.
Secondly, Spiritual Magic, a power beyond his understanding, was very odd and strong, but also extremely dangerous to use.
For instance, while controlling a spiritual body, if Bai Ge made any resistant movements, he would have to use more Soul Power to suppress her; otherwise, he might lose control of the spiritual body, and he himself would suffer significant backlash.
This was probably the reason why Lakda didn’t dare to control too many Corpse Ghosts at once back in the secret chamber.
Therefore, compared to the ability to control the undead, Lynn was more interested in another usage of this spell: controlling creatures with weak Soul Power.
While at the port town, Bai Ge had once controlled a flock of gray crows to gather intelligence, which could be considered a bug-level ability for information gathering.
The only drawback was that controlling creatures also dispersed his own attention, somewhat like playing a game while controlling multiple units. Having too many would inevitably affect the control over each unit.
Lynn continued to flip through Radak’s notes. Although he had no intention of using some of the more harmful Spiritual Magic, only by fully understanding them could he know how to counter them when encountered.
…
In the following days, after completing his promotion, Lynn focused all his energy on solidifying spell slots, especially protective spells, to boost his strength as much as possible.
He had not forgotten that he previously promised to hand over the remaining “Magic Sources.”
Lynn certainly had no intention of keeping that promise, as they had yet to settle the score with the Sky Ship incident.
However, developments took an unexpected turn. Before he could do anything, Barbara and Hank had already come knocking on his door.
“Are you saying that North has been acting odd lately?” Inside Radak’s mansion, Lynn asked with surprise after listening to the two’s complaints.
Hank nodded, in line with what they had agreed upon before: after the hunting operation was over, North was supposed to pay him one thousand magic gold coins as a reward, along with a portion of the dissected tissue from the Corpse Ghost’s body.
It had nearly been three days, however, and there had been no action from the other side. The apprentice he sent to urge them even reported that North was nowhere to be found in the manor or the base outside Harbor Town.
This couldn’t help but lead him to some unpleasant speculation.
“North probably has no intention of paying us,” said Barbara angrily. In her view, it was certain that North had sustained heavy losses during the ‘Corpse Ghost’ hunt and decided to simply default by continuously dragging things out.
Their visit to Lynn this time was to unite their front and create trouble during the promotion ceremony of “Crimson Thorn” the day after tomorrow.
Lynn looked at the two in front of him with a bizarre expression.
He was quite worried when he first heard about this organization, given the sheer size of “Crimson Thorn” and the complex composition of its members. But now, it seems to be in complete disarray, with each member fending for themselves.
Of course, this might also be related to the unpleasantness of their hunt for the ‘Corpse Ghost.’
After North went to such lengths, he ended up with only the blown-to-pieces body of the ‘Corpse Ghost’ and was forced to part with some of the blood midway, no doubt harboring resentment.
Lynn was naturally pleased to see such a situation and would be even happier if they outright turned against each other.
With this in mind, Lynn began to fan the flames.
“The matter is probably not so simple. I think you all remember how much North valued that blood, going as far as to pay any price. He must be eager to use it for something, doing something behind all of our backs…”
“Perhaps from the start, he never planned to pay the so-called reward… We might have all been used as pawns!”
As he spoke, even Lynn himself paused, suddenly feeling doubtful.
Because he suddenly realized that his analysis seemed to make a lot of sense.
North was too generous, extravagant to an absurd degree.

For instance, North was willing to pay several times the market price to purchase the high-grade Magic Crystal Cannon that Barbara had acquired.
That was a total of four thousand magic gold coins—more than what many third-ring wizards had in their entire fortunes.
And about the Corpse Ghost’s spiritual essence, although Radak was the only one among them who knew how to create “Magic Sources,” once North handed it over, he didn’t show any further concern…
Barbara and Hank exchanged a glance, their pupils revealing an unsettled and suspicious look. To risk one’s entire fortune as a third-ring wizard, there could only be one thing!
