Chapter 86: Deep into the mystery of death (1)
The Snake School psychic deduction method is often used by Mellen as a "search engine".
But in fact, the role of this psychic method is not limited to exploring some of the things that have happened in this world.
"Search" corresponds to "communication" with the world, and then "persuasion" through various reasons, so that the world can tell you what happened to someone and a certain place.
Ordinary psychics are obviously unable to communicate with the world, so from this point of view, it can be found that the snake sect psychic deduction method is a very advanced psychic technique.
Since it is very advanced, it of course also includes the traditional functions of low-level spiritism.
That is, it is possible to communicate with the dead.
So, when Mellon found out that the magician was dead, he immediately began to channel the young man named Garcia Parker.
However, the result, just like his psychic Winnie Kate, was fruitless.
Merlen frowned.
To channel the dead is not to communicate with the souls of the dead.
In fact, after the death of a normal person, there is no way for the soul to remain in this world.
Except for a few, similar to those ghosts in the eyes of wizards, or some ferocious ghosts and evil spirits that are frequently born when the tide of magic prevails.
The soul of most people after death will dissipate.
There is currently no place like the underworld to attract dead souls in this world, so dead souls cannot be used as psychic objects at all.
But after a person dies, as long as his body has not rotted into bones, there will always be spiritual remnants in his body, or soul fragments.
Conversation with the dead in traditional channeling corresponds to this.
But at the moment, Meren could not find the remaining spirituality of the other party.
With the inheritance of the potions professor, Meren is of course different from the previous Xiaobai.
After thinking for a while, he understood that the target could not be found now. There may be two reasons.
One is that the opponent's body has been completely rotted, or burned to ashes, and the residual spirituality has been completely wiped away, so naturally he cannot channel.
But cremation is not popular in the country under my feet, so there is a high probability that it may be the second case.
There are wizards who cast some spell on the dead man, and even cover the corpse within the level limit, so that the apprentice Melen cannot be channeled.
"Reanimated corpses? Made ghouls? Or used for bloodline curses?"
A large number of magical memories related to the corpse surfaced one after another as Meren encountered this incident.
But there is so little information that Melon can't tell which one it is for the time being.
So he thought about it, and simply said goodbye to his brother at home and went to find the magician's parents who were still alive.
Possessing spiritism, he easily found them in a shop on a commercial street in Graham City.
"Garcia's friend?"
The magician's father was a bald middle-aged man in a neat tuxedo, smoking a pipe, and staring at a group of workers renovating a shop.
Hearing that Merron was looking for his son, he didn't doubt anything, and simply told what he knew.
"Garcia and his fiancee went out fishing, what are you doing to him?"
"fiancée?"
Melon's mind moved when he heard the words, thinking of his actions of pimping, and half-jokingly said:
"He and Miss Kate are progressing so fast, it won't be long before a baby is born, right?"
"Don't give birth now."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Obesity is hereditary. If she wants to have a child, she must lose the fat on her body anyway."
"You seem to be able to manage people."
Before Melon could speak, a middle-aged woman who was equally well-dressed continued with a displeased expression, as if she was blaming her husband for not saying anything.
"It's not bad for a child born in a wealthy family to see your son, and you still want to point fingers at others?"
This sentence focuses on wealthy families.
She obviously didn't want Melon, her son's friend, to treat her son's fiancee as a simple fat man.
"Since you're going to marry into our Parker family."
The bald middle-aged man didn't think about it that much, and still had a straight face.
"Then she is part of the Parker family. Of course, she has to listen to her elders. This is a tradition."
"Come on."
The woman sneered when she heard the words, "Think about how your shop came to be, and think about it again, we were all so poor that we went to the new world a while ago, who is..."
The two seemed to be about to quarrel, but they didn't know that their soon-to-be-married son was actually dead.
Mellon silently turned to leave.
"The magician is dead, but Winnie Kate used a spell to keep him alive... It's not easy to stay alive, and it's even harder to hide from others."
"What's the use of deactivating an ordinary person's corpse with great effort?
"Being a doll?"
This is obviously a puzzling question.
But compared to this question, Meren was actually more concerned about why the magician died.
Judging from the current situation, the murderer can't escape the Winnie Kate.
And the magician knew Winnie Kate because of himself.
Originally, his fate was not like this...
After frowning for a while, Meren took out the book of secret words, asked a few words from the short wizard who had dueled him before, and then rushed towards the opponent's location.
…
"I was going to get out of Graham City on a flying broom, but this thing was dangerous. I hit a bird on the way and almost fell off the broom."
The short wizard Mike was staying in a hotel, and he was still very enthusiastic after seeing Melun.
It wasn't because Meren was in the sight of the Minister for Magic.
In fact, after Melun said a few days ago that he did not want to leave the Mixed-Blood Association, this one always advised him to think carefully, instead of hiding away or taking a cold attitude.
Of course, this is because Mellon "speaks of loyalty" and helped him.
On the other hand, he mainly wanted to introduce Mellen to his teacher, a chief dueling master who seemed to be well-known.
"After that, I received an invitation from Miss Kate, so I simply didn't leave."
"You have a good relationship?" Merron raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.
"I like her."
The short wizard said calmly: "I came to Graham this time for this, but I was called by Jim to a duel with you in the middle."
"Unfortunately, I learned later that she already has a fiancé, and it is said that she is still an ordinary person."
Saying so, he sighed regretfully.
"Of course I don't want to be a third party, so I had planned to leave. But since Miss Kate invited me, I think..."
This guy is obviously a thief.
Merlen groaned.
Although I didn't pay much attention, the fat Winnie Kate was not a "fat beauty", but had a small nose and small eyes, without any sense of beauty.
Such a person can be liked to the point of being willing to be a third party, obviously it cannot be purely based on appearance.
"Is she a kind-hearted person?" Mellen asked, "or is she smart?"
"Uh... it should be, I don't know."
Mike said a little embarrassedly: "Speaking of which, I don't know much about Miss Kate. You can think of this as love at first sight."
Mellon was stunned.
