Chapter 442: Concentrate on research
"Boom la la ......"
The water crashes against the reef, and the waves rush onto the beach before receding.
In the harbor of the Island of the Dead, the ghost ship moved, adjusted its sails and rudder in the sound of command, slowly turned, sailed out of the harbor, and headed towards the vast sea.
On the sea in the distance, on the line between the sea and the sky, the faint light of the dawn shines through, heralding the arrival of a new day.
Standing on a rock high above the Island of the Dead, Richard watched the ghost ship go away with a calm face.
Letting go of Captain Morgan and these people was not a whim for him, but to reduce distraction.
Now that the necromancer is dead, he has to spend a lot of time sorting out what the necromancer has studied. In the process, it is natural that there are fewer people on the island, the better.
Sure, he could have done the same thing by killing Captain Morgan and his group, but he wasn't a murderer. Maybe he doesn't think he's a good person, but he doesn't want to be a downright bad guy according to a certain standard - in a sense, it's sad to live a certain kind of person according to certain requirements.
He is himself, neither good nor bad, not bound by the shackles of morality, but also not by trampling on morality and taking the pleasure of taking innocent lives. For him, killing people is just a means, a way of dealing with things. He will analyze everything rationally, if he needs to kill someone, he won't blink an eye if he kills as many people as he wants, and if he doesn't need to kill, then he will naturally choose a more trouble-free way.
And letting go of Captain Morgan and his party is obviously more trouble-free than killing them, so at least he doesn't have to do anything, and he doesn't have to deal with a lot of corpses - just the many suture monster corpses on the island are enough for him to deal with for a while, and he really doesn't want to increase the workload.
It's nothing to let go of Captain Morgan and let the other party drive away the transport ghost ship.
The ghost ship is not the only ship in the island harbor, there are also several small sailing ships in the corner, which can fully meet his needs to leave the island.
In fact, since he is only one person, it is very difficult to really want to sail alone in a ghost ship, after all, a ghost ship is a sailboat, not a high-tech automated ship, and it requires the joint efforts of many people to operate. In this way, a small sailboat is more suitable for him.
With this in mind, Richard glanced at the surface of the sea and saw that the ghost ship had turned into a black dot. The next moment, he turned around and walked in the direction of the stone building.
......
In front of the stone building.
When Richard walked back, he saw Pandora still riding on the corpse of the Black Stitcher, and her fist continued to pound the head of the Black Stitch Monster for a while.
"Seventy-seven...... 77...... Seventy-seven ......" Pandora frowned, and kept making noises in her mouth, obviously still stuck.
An eyebrow furrowed, and Richard wondered if he was reminding Pandora.
At this moment, Pandora's eyes suddenly widened, and she shouted with a little excitement: "I remembered, yes, I remembered! Seventy-seven-forty-nine!"
As Pandora's words fell, a fist slammed down as if it were cathartic.
"Boom!"
There was only a muffled sound, and the entire head of the black stitch monster was brutally smashed into the dirt, completely disappearing from view.
Richard: "......"
Pandora didn't fail to see Richard's strange expression, jumped down from the corpse, looked at it with pride, and boasted: "Richard Richard, I've memorized it, I've memorized it! I've memorized the seven-character table, I've really memorized it! Do you believe it or not, if you don't believe it, I'll recite it to you?" The expression on his face almost wrote: Praise me, praise me!
Richard chuckled and said to Pandora, "Have you memorized it, it's very good." I believe you, no need to prove it. But...... Having said that, it's not over after memorizing the seven-character list, there are also eight-character tables and nine-character lists. ”
"Ahh It was like going through a lot of hard work to climb over a big mountain, and suddenly I found that there were two other higher mountains in front of me.
"And the eight-character list and the nine-character list!" Pandora cried out, "Yes, why don't I remember when you taught me before?" The expression on Pandora's face at this time seemed to be completely unwilling to accept all this.
"Absolutely. Richard spoke up and patted Pandora on the head, "So, you better go ahead and memorize it well." I'll give you a review first: 18 gets 8, 2816 ......"
"Eight out of eight, eight ......out of sixteen," Richard muttered, as Pandora muttered.
After a while, after Richard finished speaking, he walked into the stone building, and Pandora sat at the door of the stone building, reciting dejectedly: "One eighteen is eight, two eight and sixteen...... 38...... 38...... This one seems to be more difficult......"
......
In the days that followed, Richard was constantly busy.
First of all, the corpse of the stitching monster was disposed of, and then he continued to sort out and analyze the information left by the dead necromancer, trying to find out the knowledge he wanted from it and digest and absorb it.
The reason for this was that he didn't want to accept the Necromancer's research in its entirety. In his opinion, the cost of making a creature like a stitching monster is too low. With the time, energy, and dedication to creating Stitching Monsters, it's better to spend money on hiring a group of elite warriors who are more combat-ready and ...... Able to understand human speech.
As he continued to sort out and analyze the information, a few days passed, and Richard found that it was a wise decision not to choose to accept the Necromancer's research in its entirety. Because as the sorting and analysis work continued, he found that the cost performance of the so-called stitching monster may be lower than he expected.
The main point is that the stitching monster is not made, but transformed.
Yes, retrofit.
According to a series of materials and notes of the necromancer, the stitching monster is not made from a completely lifeless corpse, but with a living person as the core, constantly using strange means to add various foreign tissues to become a stitching monster.
In other words, each stitching monster is like a person wearing a monster's coat, and this coat is made from a large number of corpses.
And because of some force majeure reasons, this kind of transformation will damage the human brain, and the more it is transformed, the greater the damage. Therefore, the bigger and stronger the stitch monster, the sillier it looks.
In this way, in Richard's eyes, the status of the suture monster instantly fell from "cloned sheep 'Dolly'" to the level of "transplanted organ laboratory rats".
But in any case, a lot of the knowledge applied to the suture monster is still very useful, and Li has studied it thoroughly, which is definitely helpful for his own research.
As it turned out, he was right.
