Vale sucked in a cold breath after hearing his words.
It seems the Headmaster''s collection that he was so proud of would really be mind-blowing with the way he speaks.
After a few breaths, Vale calmed his breathing and nodded to the Headmaster. "I''m ready, Headmaster. Whatever corpse collection you have, I''ll only be happy the rarer they are." Vale said like a real corpse enthusiast.
The Headmaster looked at Vale amusedly as he didn''t expect such a reply. He couldn''t help butugh as his mood had gone a lot better.
"Great! I''ve always wanted to show my collection to someone… I guess I really found the right person. Follow me!"
With that said, Headmaster Jean walked to the door of the cottage house and opened it. It seemed like it wasn''t locked but Vale noticed the fluctuation of energy as soon as the Headmaster touched the door knob.
There was definitely a high-level Formation Circle ced in this seemingly simple cottage house.
''Hmm?''
As soon as Vale entered, he saw a simple room with a clean bed, a study table, a rug made of bearskin, and a shelf.
Then, he saw the headmaster pulling the bearskin rug to reveal a secret door. It is quite a ssic hidden door that would lead to a secret basement…
He didn''t make anyment as he simply watched the Headmaster and followed him silently.
The wooden stair leading down was quite steep but there is a lighting from the room allowing him to see the stairs clearly so it was quite easy going down.
Soon, Vale seems to have entered another world!
What he was expecting to be a nasty basement with various mummified corpses, turned out to be like a modernboratory!
There seems to be a dozen of fluorescent bulb on the ceiling giving a different vibe in the room. He was already quite used to the dim yellow light brought by candles or fires after all.
Aside from that, the basement was made of steel and was emanating some fluctuation of energy. It was definitely enchanted or has been enhanced by Rune Arts!
Then, as Vale observed the brightly lit room, he found dozens of frozen corpses lying on white stone beds. There were probably only a few human-like corpses and the rest were creatures, or maybe evil creatures that has been frozen here for a very long time…
There is also a shelf where various human parts or creature parts or random items disyed… All of them are preserved in a mystical way.
Vale was extremely excited. Any corpses here are definitely valuable!
Headmaster Jean noticed Vale''s reaction and smiled.
"This isn''t all but these are the ones that would be rtively safe for you. Some corpses are too contaminated that they might kill you if you dare touch them. I can consider bringing you further down if you get stronger."
Headmaster Jean revealed leaving Vale speechless for a few seconds.
"There are still others?! Alright! I''ll do my best to get stronger, Headmaster!" Vale replied excitedly…
"Good… Now, you can try and check them out. I''m sure these bodies would garner your interest."
"Yes, Headmaster!"
Vale answered as he walked closer to the white stone beds.
As he was about to speak to Lotus, he suddenly heard her cold voice…
''I can''t replenish my energy from them.''
''Ah?'' Vale was stunned as soon as heard this. After all, he was worried that he can''t extract these corpses as well!
After realizing this, he immediately touched one of the human-looking corpses that were at the center of the steel room…
[ Celestial corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Whew~
Vale immediately sighed in relief after seeing a reaction from the system. It means that he can still extract them even if the Dark Spirit can''t use them.
This baffled him as he realized that his understanding of the energy being extracted is actually not what he had expected before… He had to make another theory about itter on once again.
"…"
As Vale calmed down, he soon realized that the notification has changed once again.
''What''s this?''
From Human Corpse to Monster Corpse, and now, it turned to Celestial Corpse!
Vale gasped in shock as he tried observing the human-looking corpse once again while circling the white stone table.
Headmaster Jean noticed Vale''s stunned expression… He had been observing him ever since he touched that corpse.
''He wasn''t repelled by the corpse after touching it! I''m right… He really is special! Good… Good…'' Headmaster Jean smiled from ear to ear after seeing this.
''Is it because he''s practicing the Malefic Branch? Can only those experimented on by Heinz could touch this thing? I wonder if it was as simple as that…''
As he thought of this, he saw Vale almost jump in joy just a few seconds after making a few observations at the Immortal Corpse…
''He really enjoys touching corpses… Very well, I should let him have his time… I hope he can answer my questions regarding these Immortal Corpsester on.''
"Vale, I''ll be staying outside… Make sure not to move the corpses from their beds or the seal would not work."
"Yes, Headmaster! I''ll be very careful and treat them with respect."
Headmaster Jean smiled as he actually thought that Vale would have plenty of questions about the corpses here. However, Vale seems to have other thoughts as he simply epted the weirdness of this ce…
He wasn''t sure what Vale was trying to do but he seem genuinely delighted seeing the corpses so he just decided to ask him about itter…
In the meantime, Vale still couldn''t believe the extraction he made just now.
[ Extraction sessful. Divinity +1.5 Vitality +0.5]
He didn''t get any Energy Points but he got Divinity Points!
This made him recall that his system isn''t a Corpse Extraction system after all!
In the end, he was stillcking some understanding of his system because of hisck of extraction samples and the fact that the system has no guide whatsoever.
''Divinity… I wonder what it does…''
As he thought of this, he checked his current attribute panel.
