The Divine Hunter Chapter 12: Case sealing technique

The palace garden was once a temple garden, but the previous kings of Kairak had already expanded it and built many stone pillar corridors and arch halls. There are several pavilions among the buildings shaded by trees, where princes often take shelter from the sun.

King Veraxus of Kairak stood in the middle of the garden. He was wearing black clothes decorated with many gold and silver embroideries, and an ermine hat on his head.

Black hair, black eyes, a high nose bridge, and dark skin. Compared to the aborigines of the coastal country, he looks more like he comes from the Zerikan Desert.

The slender and beautiful blonde woman next to her was wearing a simple white dress decorated with diamonds, which was dazzling; she had a mink cloak on her shoulders, and her big blue eyes glanced at the king beside her from time to time. Flashing admiration.

When he glanced at the other woman in front of him, he saw undisguised hostility and disdain.

Rita Nieder wore a turquoise crepe gown today, with a unique butterfly embroidered on the chest and decorated with small sparkling sequins.

There is a circle of pleats at the lower end of the skirt. Although this was a trend ten years ago, on Rita, the skirt pleats and other elements complement each other, making her more attractive.

There is a necklace around the sorceress's neck, with exquisite emeralds on it. Each one is as big as an almond, and one of them is particularly bright.

Her red hair burned like a wildfire.

"Ms. Rita Nied, I have clearly informed you that Kailac no longer needs a magic consultant." The man's voice was deep and powerful, "If you want to continue to stay, you must purchase a license. Then I will generously allow you to practice medicine properly in Kairak, but the tax will be 10% higher than that of your non-magical counterparts."

"And you are not allowed to participate in politics, either directly or indirectly."

After the king finished speaking, he affectionately stroked the hair of the woman next to him, his black eyes full of obsession.

The woman seemed very satisfied with his performance and held his arm affectionately.

"Dear Majesty Veraxus, Queen Ardiko, please give me some more time. I have to get rid of that villa...I still have some finishing work to complete in Kairak." Rita Nieder Sincerely.

"How much longer will it take? Please tell me a specific time," Queen Aldike asked loudly, a trace of pleasure flashed in her bright eyes, and her pretty face shone brightly. "Your Majesty's patience is limited, don't try to delay time with your sweet words. , fool us."

What about graduating from Aretousa?

I still can’t compare to myself, an undergraduate.

Now I am the high and mighty queen.

And you can only act based on my expression!

"One week..." Rita Nied said in a deep voice, "Please give me another week. I promise to disappear from Kailac and never come back to hinder your eyes."

After speaking, the corner of her mouth suddenly curved, as if she felt something strange.

"Ms. Rita Nied, if you have nothing to report, please go down quickly!" Veraxus continued to play with his wife's hair and waved without looking back.

……

Under the bright magic crystal lamp, two more stone sculptures appeared on a flat table.

A green jade statue of a woman, and a basalt stone carving of a man.

The sculpture is lifelike, like a real person, even a small freckle on the face is extremely clear.

A slender palm held up the jade stone sculpture. Rita Nied rubbed it and looked at it. Small dimples appeared on her cheeks, flushing with excitement.

"Yes, it's them, Aldike's treasure! They hide the queen's most important secret!" She put down the statue and hugged the demon hunter next to her with rare excitement.

"Little rascal, you have never let me down."

"Uh-"

Another coral-colored lip mark appeared on the witcher's cheek.

"Wait a few more days, wait until I get my revenge and make that hateful woman pay compensation, and then I will go back to Nuo City with you and participate in the formula improvement of the Demon Hunter Brotherhood."

Roy Dark Gold's pupils glanced at the two statues, and the magical elements and weak vitality were about to come out.

"Coral, is this not an ordinary stone sculpture?"

"You feel it, and you are right. The little villain is so smart and has all kinds of incredible abilities, such as predicting the future. I must have heard of it." She pursed her lips and said one word,

"The art of sealing the vessel..."

"It is also called human body compression..." the sorceress explained with a smile, "a unique spell that can wrap the subject in a jade or stone shell and shrink it to the size of a palm."

The demon hunter had a look of surprise on his face. He had heard of this famous spell. As far as he knew, Coral was also good at this spell and loved to use it to tease people who offended her.

A statue of a noble and a statue of a soldier were born.

According to the original trajectory of this world, Triss Merigold and Yennefer will also enjoy "compressed treatment."

"So these two statues are two living people, compressed by Queen Aldike's magic?"

"They can still breathe now."

Roy nodded. No wonder he couldn't put the statue into the space on his way back.

"No need to eat after being compressed?"

Coral explained patiently, "The subject is in a state of stasis, or suspended animation, with minimal need for food and no awareness of the surrounding environment and what is happening. They can even survive for a few years at most. ."

“But the longer it is compressed, the more likely it is to have side effects such as organ damage and memory confusion after recovery.”

"I have already studied Aldiko's spell frequency. I have to unlock them quickly." Coral said, "Ask the secrets they hold!"

……

On the second floor of the villa, there is a spacious and empty room with a five-pointed star pattern carved on the ground.

The pattern is dotted with eight magical symbols, three of which represent May Day, Harvest Festival, and Halloween.

Rita Nied lit three black candles and placed candlesticks equipped with parabolic mirrors above the three magic symbols.

I checked it several times to make sure there was no mistake.

Roy crossed his arms at the door and watched quietly.

After a while.

The sorceress took a deep breath, placed the two stone sculptures in the center of the five-pointed star, raised her hands, and recited a rapid spell.

The candle gave off a dazzling light, and the parabolic mirror on the candlestick lit up, reflecting beams of light and converging towards the two stone sculptures in the center of the array.

The color changes rapidly from green and black to gold ~IndoMTL.com~ and then back to transparent.

The air is filled with brilliant magical energy.

The witcher pressed the pendant around his neck and held his breath.

The sorceress's spell came to a high pitched end.

A candlestick reflected the firelight, casting shadows onto the floor of the room. The three symbols of the magic circle seemed to come alive, constantly changing.

In the colorful light, the two small statues quickly grew in size, throbbed, trembled, and their structural shapes changed at the same time, like a thick smoke spreading on the floor.

After a while, the smoke cleared.

The mana fluctuation disappears.

Two human bodies appeared in the center of the magic circle.

A yellow-haired woman and a gray-haired man fell limply to the ground.

They clutched their chests and gasped and coughed violently!
