Chapter 355: -108- Black Cat and Black Dragon

Nisi shook her head blankly, her face a picture of innocence.

The girl glanced at her and spoke indifferently,

"To be honest, I’m not concerned about your origins, nor am I interested in who taught you."

"I’ve heard that the Mages of the Nicholas School delve deeply into certain Taboo Spells and even possess Magic that can resurrect the dead..."

At this point, the girl’s gaze fell upon Nisi, and her crimson pupils were full of inquiry:

"Am I...correct?"

Being scrutinized by the girl’s daunting gaze, Nisi couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

She instinctively shrank back and then, mustering her courage, said,

"Uh...Miss Odosia, if you want to learn about Undead Magic, I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong person. I’m just a cat who’s learned a tiny bit from books...I don’t know much..."

"I think, rather than me, who’s not very skilled, you might want to ask your Contracted Servant instead, after all...no one knows more about Undead Magic than a senior Priest of the Blood Demon Church."

Nisi appeared earnest and honest in her demeanor.

However, upon hearing her words, the girl named Odosia’s expression darkened.

A terrifying pressure burst from her, as the power of a mountain poured out, and under that intimidating force, the Spellcasters in the workshop almost simultaneously fell to the ground, tumbling and kneeling en masse...

In an instant, the girl teleported in front of Nisi and, as easily as picking up a chick, she lifted her up.

Feeling the girl’s surge of murderous intent, Nisi quickly cried out in alarm:

"You...you...! You can’t kill me! I am the survivor that your leader specified to be spared!"

"I...I have a Contract too! If you kill me! My master will not forgive you! My Lord cough cough cough..."

The pale and feeble threat did not dissipate the murderous intent emanating from the girl.

On the contrary, after hearing Nisi’s words, the girl’s emerging intent to kill seemed to intensify even further.

An unprecedented sense of crisis flooded Nisi’s mind, and she quickly changed her tune, yelling:

"Stop! Stop! I...I know the Magic that can resurrect the dead! Stop, please! cough cough cough..."

No sooner did the words leave her mouth than the tide of murderous intent swiftly receded.

The girl slowly let go of Nisi and stared intently at her now slightly constricted pupils due to intense choking, her voice even colder than before:

"If I hear the term ’Contracted Servant’ again, I will not hesitate to kill you."

Feeling the seriousness in the girl’s words, Nisi shivered involuntarily.

She swallowed a non-existent gulp of saliva, her amber eyes glancing at the expressionless girl, and then cautiously probed:

"That...Miss Odosia, have I offended you in some way?"

"Could it be that I misunderstood, and you have not made a Contract with a Priest of the Blood Demon Church?"

After hearing Nisi’s words, the girl gave her a brief glance and once again raised her hand.

Seeing the flash of murderous intent in those crimson pupils, Nisi yelled out in a hurry:

"Stop! Stop—! I won’t ask anymore! Really, I won’t! Don’t...don’t be rash!"

The girl slowly withdrew her gaze, staring calmly at her.

After a long while, she finally said:

"Speak, the Magic that can resurrect the dead."

Nisi sighed and responded:

"That would only be the ’Undead Revival’ then, a type of Magic I do know how to perform..."

"But honestly, I suggest you seek help from your...um, leader, the one who rode with you...cough, no, um...the one who attacked with you."

"Actually, I don’t have an in-depth knowledge of this area, and in Mireya, no one is more deeply researched in Undead Magic than the Bloodline of Shedite."

After hearing Nisi’s statement, the girl fell silent.

Moments later, she continued:

"I do not need the Magic for ’Undead Revival’."

"Ah? You don’t need the Magic for ’Undead Revival’?"

Nisi was stunned.

The girl remained expressionless:

"I want the Magic that can resurrect the dead."

Nisi was taken aback again, then suddenly her eyes twitched:

"Magic that resurrects the dead? Not ’Undead Revival’ Magic?"

"Wait...are you suggesting that you want to awaken those who have died and whose souls have completely dissipated into the ether?!"

The girl continued to look at her calmly, neither confirming nor denying.

Nisi swallowed hard and then said with difficulty:

"Miss Odosia, forgive me for being blunt...a soul is the essence of life, if the soul has dissipated, then truly nothing can be done."

"Yet, I’ve heard that you Esoteric Mages of the Nicholas Sect possess even more miraculous Resurrection Techniques..."

The girl spoke calmly.

Looking deeply at Nisi, she said,

"Don’t try to deny your identity, even if you’ve become a cat, I can still smell that scent unique to humans on you..."

Nisi: ...

After hesitating for a moment, it sighed and said,

"Miss Odosia, I think... you might be misunderstanding something."

"Yes, I do know some special resurrection techniques. However, what you don’t know is that the so-called more wondrous resurrection techniques aren’t about reviving those who have lost even their souls, who are as dead as one can be. Instead... heh heh, it’s about subtly summoning back those souls that have returned to the Divine Country without alarming the deities!"

It seemed proud when talking about this, and Nisi’s expression was full of self-satisfaction at this point.

However, the girl named Odosia showed a weird look in her eyes for the first time:

"Summoning back the souls that have returned to the Divine Country?"

"No wonder you Esoteric Mages of the Nicholas School are being hunted by so many Churches, every one of you... are madmen."

Nisi grew even more smug:

"Hey! That’s skill! What about being pursued? They can’t find me if I do not wish it! Not just that, I can mix in right under their noses and... cough cough..."

Realizing it was about to say too much, it coughed a few times and hurriedly stopped that line of conversation.

However, it seemed like the girl wasn’t interested in what it was saying.

Glancing at her and seeing she didn’t press the matter, Nisi relaxed.

Clearing its throat, it continued,

"In any case... a soul is a necessary condition for the undead’s revival. If the soul has dissipated, even if a deity came, I’m afraid there would be nothing they could do."

After hearing Nisi’s words, the girl fell silent.

It was a long while before she continued to ask,

"Really... it’s impossible?"

Nisi shook its head:

"It really is impossible. Even if you were to ask a god, you would likely get the same answer."

The girl clenched her fist slightly, silent for a long time.

Moments later, she stopped asking questions and turned to leave.

"Wait! Miss Odosia! Is the person you want to revive a werewolf miner from the Castel silver mine?"

Watching the girl’s retreating figure, Nisi quickly asked.

The girl paused in her steps, yet did not turn around or answer.

It wasn’t until her figure had completely disappeared that Nisi let out a sigh of relief and then muttered,

"So that means... she really is that Black Dragon from the Castel mine from before."

"Strange, she doesn’t seem to be under the control of the Blood Demon Church, but rather as if she willingly joined them?"

"No good, I must find a way to escape from here as soon as possible. Always being locked up isn’t right; that hot-tempered little dragoness probably has guessed my identity by now..."

"The Alchemists of the Legris Family treat me well enough, but they’re just after my knowledge. The real key is the Blood Demon Church; if that bunch of crazies find out my identity, I’m finished!"

"Nisi, oh Nisi, what are you so proud of? As soon as you’re proud, you lose your shape, when you lose shape, you do silly things!"

"From the moment you saw those Alchemists in trouble, you should not have stepped in!"

"Oh, no... not intervening wouldn’t work either, after all, I needed to trade techniques for something good to eat and drink... but you shouldn’t have used those techniques that could be easily recognized from the start!"

"No... I must escape! I must find a way to escape!"

Nisi talked to itself and quickly made up its mind, hastily searching for the dagger it had just dropped.

However, after looking around, it realized that all the "tools" within its reach that could have been used to try cutting the chain on its neck while others weren’t paying attention had been taken away by Odosia.

Nisi: ...

"Damn it! On purpose! She must have done it on purpose!"

Nisi cursed under its breath.

Its corpulent body slumped into the chair, its face full of despair:

"Nisi, oh Nisi, why leave North Port, what could be worse?"

"And now, great! Not only am I completely stuck, but my secrets are about to be completely exposed!"

"Sigh... Lord Charlotte, when will you awaken? If you do not awaken soon... your domain will be occupied by others, and your poor Contracted Servant will go from a fat cat to a dead cat!"

Nisi was disheartened and full of regret.

Just then, a pleasant voice suddenly rose in its heart:

"That makes sense, and I’m curious too. You were supposed to stay quietly in North Port; how come you ran off to Silver Mining City, and under the pretense of my name for an inspection?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Nisi’s body jolted, instantly turning from worry to joy:

"Lord Charlotte! No! Master! Is that... is it your voice?"

"You... have you woken up?!"
