Chapter 895
"Your name," the Monarch asked.
"Laise."
Laise's story is quite cliché. She was originally the daughter of a small landlord, with dozens of acres of land at home. She fell in love with a farmer who came to help at home. Her parents didn't agree, so they met privately, she got pregnant, her father was angered to death, and her younger brother inherited the family business and drove her away.
Her husband, who was a farmer, left his hometown and found it difficult to make a living. His temper grew worse, he drank and beat her, and even wanted to sell her. In a fit of anger, she hit her husband with two hammers. She didn't know if she had knocked him dead or not, so she ran out.
On the way, she moved the fetus and fainted from abdominal pain. When she woke up, she found herself here. She was saved by a group of homeless children living in the mass grave. Since then, she has lived with them.
Laise didn't understand what had happened to her, only knowing that her belly had no movement, but except for her belly being a bit big, she had no discomfort.
But even if she was very uncomfortable, she had no way. She had no money to find a mage for treatment, and it was impossible to go back to her original home.
Even if her younger brother who inherited the family business didn't throw her out, he would likely only find a remote room to settle her, give her some food, and as long as she didn't starve to death, it would be no different from being here.
The ones who saved her were a group of orphans. These children couldn't even feed themselves, but they still kindly helped her, and even gave her a portion of their already not-so-rich food, and it was the largest portion, because she was a pregnant woman.
After Laise recovered, she also tried very hard to feed herself, but with a big belly, she couldn't do anything. Begging in the city is not allowed and would get her thrown into a slave camp.
Seeing that she was about to eat up all the food of these orphans, Laise picked the fruits in the corner of the tomb chamber and was about to stuff them into her mouth.
The orphans stopped her: "These are dead man's fruits. Living people can't eat them. If you eat too many, you will become a dead person."
Laise, who already didn't want to live, heard this and bit into them even more: "Dying is just right, I don't want to live."
The taste of the fruit was quite good. Laise ate three in a row, thinking that dying quickly was quite good. Who knew that after eating for four or five days, not only did she not die, but she gained some weight.
And after eating the fruit, she felt that her belly began to have a trace of very weak movement, which instantly ignited her hope.
In the following days, she survived on these fruits commonly known as dead man's fruits. She also discovered one thing: as long as she sucked hard, the dead man's fruit would become a fruit that ordinary people could eat.
And every time she took a suck, the fetus in her belly would grow stronger.
Actually, by this time, she had already realized that the fetus in her belly might no longer be a normal fetus, but she stubbornly believed that it was her child. No matter what it became, it was her child.
With these unwanted dead man's fruits, she and these orphans in the cemetery survived. One winter passed, and miraculously, not a single one was lost. In a normal year, it wouldn't be strange for half of these homeless children to die in winter.
However, with the arrival of winter and the decrease of dead man's fruits, Laise had to find a way to plant them. She discovered that they could grow in the dark tomb chamber, so she transplanted the fruit trees she found outside to the warm tomb chamber.
Originally they were planted in the soil, but the tomb chamber was too damp, and the fruit trees were prone to root rot, so she used moss as a culture medium.
After using moss as a culture medium, the fruit trees didn't grow well, but the fruit trees near the accumulated water pit in the corner grew well, so she tried to use the water in the accumulated water pit to water them, and finally found that overnight accumulated water was the best.
Just like this, Laise solved part of the food, and the homeless orphans solved the rest with their own methods. Everyone survived two winters tenaciously. Now it is the third year since Laise came here. The biggest regret is that her child still hasn't come out.
The Monarch heard her story and was a bit surprised: "You mean this is the third year here, which means you've only been here for two years. In two years, a newborn soul condensed into a Soul Heart? So fast?"
In the Undead Empire, a Soul Heart already belongs to a high-level undead creature. Golden skeletons, iron-skinned zombies, undead saints, black warrior emperors, etc., these top-level undead creatures only have Soul Hearts.
Of course, Soul Hearts also have strengths and weaknesses, but no matter how weak a Soul Heart is, it's impossible to condense it in just two years.
Laise nodded: "It's really only two years. This year is the third year I've been here, and it's about this season."
Laise spoke very cooperatively. The experiences of these years had already made her grow a lot. She was no longer the naive farm girl she used to be, and had long learned to observe words and expressions.
The majestic "man" in front of her focused on the soul and had no reaction to her experience, clearly not caring about her affairs at all, just to understand information.
Therefore, the other party's help might really just be an exchange. Don't have the idea of acting pitiful to win sympathy. With this realization, Laise became very cooperative.
However, after Ang brought the tools he needed, Laise still couldn't cooperate and said in a panic: "You... what do you want to do?"
Because the tools Ang brought included a bright dagger. In the past, Ang didn't need a knife to open a belly, but now it wouldn't work. If he didn't control it well, he would cut it in half. His Beauty Cleansing Art couldn't be used as casually as before, so it's better to save some.
Ang explained the steps: "Cut open, take out, treat, activate, rebirth."
"Cut open? Can I still live after cutting open? Can my child still live? No, no, I thought you could let me give birth. I don't want to be cut open." Laise jumped up in fright. She had never heard of anyone living after their belly was cut open.
Unfortunately, since she had already agreed, it wasn't a matter of saying no. Ang grabbed her, pinched her unconscious, cut open her belly, took out the stone fetus, then pinched the belly skin together, and cast the Beauty Cleansing Art.
The belly skin healed quickly, and even the stretch marks disappeared without a trace due to the Beauty Cleansing Art. It is estimated that when she wakes up, she will have to doubt whether she was ever pregnant.
After dealing with her, Ang turned to the stone fetus, first digging out the Soul Heart on it and handing it to the Monarch.
This soul was bred from the fetus, not the fetus itself, just an undead creature. Because of its existence, Laise could absorb the death aura on the fruit.
After the soul was dug out, the remaining stone fetus was the most difficult to deal with. In essence, it was already an undead corpse. To activate and resurrect the corpse, the best thing is insect ash liquid.
But Ang doesn't have insect ash liquid now, so he can only use the World Tree's strong life force, combined with the Beauty Cleansing Art, to barely activate it halfway. The other half has to rely on itself. It was originally a premature fetus and could continue to grow.
If it weren't for this, Ang wouldn't dare to say he could resurrect it. Now he has no materials on hand.
Ang punched it in the heart—Rebirth Art, and then immediately cast the Beauty Cleansing Art. The premature fetus grew rapidly, from seven months, eight months, nine months, and finally cried out with a "wa."
The dazzling operation made the Monarch dumbfounded. He had experience in cutting people, but saving people? He wasn't familiar with it. Could it be done like this?
"You resurrected a toughened corpse and gave it a consciousness? Didn't you say consciousness cannot be created?" the Monarch said in shock.
Ang said: "I am, a Law-Reverser."
The Monarch suddenly remembered. Ang, this Law-Reverser, reverses the first law of the void—consciousness cannot be created. Creating new consciousness is exactly Ang's ability.
