Chapter 244:114. Legacy of the Black Bone_2

Translator: 549690339

They were attempting to tame mutants, transforming these freakish monsters into their own pets!

This plan was extremely dangerous, but the illegal forces of Dark City had already achieved some success.

The aberrations that showed up in the Food Storage of the Third Underground Level were a prime example.

Blackbone Hermit Kodar and his alchemy slaves were responsible for spreading the aberration disaster in the underground area of Sector 7.

They manually transported aberration eggs, placing them on various underground levels, periodically patrolling and monitoring breeding data, like raising aberrations, and this Fissure Corridor was their pasture in their eyes.

Noland Lee had caused quite a commotion when he was clearing the food warehouse before, alerting Kodar and causing the earlier battle.

As for why Kodar was not hostile to aberrations, and how he transported the eggs of aberrations and other details, Noland Lee found the answer in his memory fragments and panel information.

All these operations were achieved through Living Alchemy.

Modified by Living Alchemy, Kodar and his alchemy slaves would release the same smell as the aberrations.

When aberrations saw them, it was like seeing their own kind, and naturally, they would not regard them as attack targets.

Regrettably, Noland didn’t find any related alchemy information in Kodar’s

memory.

It was estimated that Kodar’s modification by Living Alchemy took place a long time ago, which didn’t appear in the more important “recent” memory fragments.

Noland didn’t feel too much regret about this.

It’s just aberrations, he’d kill one when he encountered one, without considering making friends with them.

Noland chuckled, deftly tidying up the spoils of war in front of him.

He opened his backpack, took out a clean cloth, wiped off the stains on the Black Bone Fragments and placed them in his backpack.

All 10 black bone pieces were collected by him without exception.

Elemental Judgement was looking for clues about the Blackbone Hermit, right?

Noland decided to give a small portion of the Black Bone Fragments to

Elemental Judgement and see how much remuneration they would offer.

If the remuneration was generous enough and sincere, Noland wouldn’t mind killing a few more Blackbone Hermits to help boost Elemental Judgement’s morale.

After properly handling the Black Bone Fragments, next was the Insect Flute for controlling Alchemy Beetles.

This small gadget had been blown into three sections by the Evil Blast.

Noland pieced together the broken flute, barely gathering the real appearance of the Insect Flute.

About the size of a little finger, it was a hollow bone with several holes on its surface.

By blowing it like an accordion, airflow would be sent to the holes, and a unique melody for controlling alchemy beetles would be played.

Evil Blast had killed many types of alchemy beetles, and Kodar’s memory also contained knowledge of playing the Insect Flute.

There was too much related panel information and knowledge for Noland to look over at once, so he simply set them all aside to look through slowly back at the dormitory.

Wrapping the broken flute in a towel and placing it in his backpack, Noland picked up a deformed metal box.

This metal box was the size of a palm, painted all black with unknown material, and barely withstood the impact of the Evil Blast, causing it to become twisted.

After confirming that there were no traps, Noland opened the metal box.

A row of needle-thin injector syringes and a row of unknown-purpose elixirs appeared inside the box.

Noland quickly searched through Kodar’s memory and nodded slowly, closing the metal box and putting it into his backpack.

The hair-thin injector was an alchemy tool used exclusively for Living Alchemy.

The accompanying elixirs included various psychotropic drugs, hormone potions, concentrated alchemy compounds, and so on.

After losing most of their physiological functions, living alchemists regularly injected themselves to stabilize their physical condition and mental state, otherwise they could easily go insane.

Noland wouldn’t need these injectors and elixirs.

He planned to keep a few as samples, and give the rest to Elemental Judgement to see if they wanted them.

Standing up, he scanned around, his gaze and Deconstruction technique double-checking the nearby ground.

“I should have picked up everything by now…”

Noland concentrated, checked once more, and snapped his fingers, commanding the Aberration Undead under his control to jump into the vertical shaft.

The entire food warehouse and corridor suddenly became quiet and empty.

All traces related to “Enslavement of the Deceased” and “Evil Blast” had been erased.

Noland thought about it, turned around, went to the Vertical Shaft, and lifted the Gatling Shot Metal Chain.

After a round of firepower output, the four metal chains suspending the lifting platform were shot through by bullets, and the lifting platform below entered free fall.

Noland silently counted for more than ten seconds, hearing a faint collision sound coming from the distant underground.

“Clang… ”

“Very well, the lifting platform has landed. It would take quite some effort for the illegal forces of Dark City to return to the Third Underground Level in a short period. Or, they could only take the vertical shafts from other sectors.” Noland didn’t linger any longer.

He tightened the straps of his backpack, stepped on the ground covered in filthy blood and slime, and quickly ran towards the staircase leading to the ground level.

“Eh? Right, should I go look for Fars and Kent’s whereabouts?”

Noland slapped his forehead, slowed down his pace, and pondered in silence.

“Kodar and his two alchemy slaves came up from the 9th Underground Layer in Sector 7, They did not encounter Fars and Kent before boarding the lifting platform of the vertical shaft. This means that Fars and Kent did not run to

Underground Layer 9….”
