Scene 272. The cruel truth

Eiffel! ! !

While others marveled at the wisdom of this sea wolf's words, Reiner felt a turmoil in his heart.

Because he learned from that child, Brydon, that the last child who died of Osborne's disease was named Eiffel!

Of course, Baptiste could have said that it was to commemorate the dead child that he gave the new sea wolf the same name. No one would think of anything else.

But Reiner didn't think so.

He had a vague feeling before that there was a deeper connection between Baptiste and these children. In order to avoid the worst ending he could imagine, Reiner told Baptiste about his thoughts on evolution. Theoretical speculation, hoping to make him understand what he was doing.

Unexpectedly, things have reached this point.

Reiner didn't speak, he was thinking about what to do next.

Baptiste asked the sea wolf to speak some basic sentences. Although the words were vague and slow, it was true that if practiced, the sea wolf would soon be able to master human speech.

This is incredible.

Everyone was extremely shocked. Although it was not enough to shake their perceptions, it still had a great impact on their original thoughts.

Reiner noticed that Jane was motionless, her face was ashen, and she seemed to have been hit hard. She took two steps back, holding on to the wall, looking extremely weak.

Emilia also felt a sense of nausea instinctively.

It's not because of something that comes to mind, but because when a creature that was originally recognized suddenly behaves like a human being, humans will have a strong sense of resistance to it.

Baptiste's introduction ended quickly, and he led everyone out of the laboratory.

Everyone was about to go back to their rooms to rest, but Reiner stopped Edgar and Agnes.

"You two, and Mr. Baptiste, I have some questions I want to discuss with you."

Reiner said, Edgar raised his eyebrows, but did not refuse clearly. Agnes seemed to be still immersed in what she had just seen, and nodded slightly.

Baptiste narrowed his eyes and looked at Reiner.

"Mr. Baptiste, the sea wolf I just saw is indeed extremely intelligent and capable of learning, but I have a question."

Reiner said while keeping his distance from Baptiste.

"The name of this sea wolf is Eiffel, and from Brighton's mouth, I learned that there once was a child in the research institute, also named Eiffel, but that child Eiffel has passed away due to illness, and I don't know about the two. What’s the connection between them?”

Reiner's words made Edgar's eyes widen slightly. He stared at Baptiste, waiting for the answer.

"...You three, please follow me."

Baptiste was silent for a moment and said this without explaining.

Reiner touched his Hohenheim Gold Cup ring and followed Baptiste's footsteps.

The four of them walked through the research area and came to the fourth building. Reiner smelled the smell of disinfectant. If he guessed correctly, this should be the area where Osborn Kara syndrome is studied.

At the same time, it is also the last place for children who are sick.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Baptiste opened the door of a ward.

You can see a child lying on a hospital bed in the middle of the room. Reiner probed a little and found that he had no breathing and heartbeat, but his body was still warm. It was obvious that he had just died.

"This is......"

Edgar was a little confused and looked at Baptiste.

"This is Eiffel, the child Mr. Iain Gray speaks of."

Baptiste came to the bedside, gently raised his hand, and touched the other person's cheek, which had become cold.

"Eiffel's favorite thing to eat is gingerbread. He likes to read the adventure legends of Roland Fehr the most. He said that he has a sister and hopes that all the illnesses can stay with him and let his sister grow up healthy. , before he died, Eiffel held my hand tightly and said that he lived a happy life."

As if muttering to himself, Baptiste said.

"Jack, he always likes to show off and is the eldest among the children. Once, it was obvious that someone else broke the tea cup, but Jack still stood up and admitted his mistake. He has an excellent imagination and often gives gifts to those who do not know how to read. The children told the story they had read in the book. He was in great pain when he got sick, and the pain made his whole body twitch, but this child never shed a tear until he died."

"Rose is a girl who loves beauty and always dresses herself up beautifully. She is good at handicrafts and can repair clothes for other children. Her father is a tailor, but he abandoned Rose after she was born. In the hospital ward, Rose was already extremely weak when she became ill, so she left on the third day of the illness, very peacefully, as if she had fallen asleep."

"Lal is a naughty boy who often breaks things and is picky about food, but he always leaves delicious food to younger children. He once said that he would become a mage in the future and be able to give food to The Master who brought hope to others, but he was also the youngest child to develop the disease and died at the age of ten.”

Baptiste went on to talk about several children that Reiner had never heard of. His words were extremely sincere and there was no false emotion at all. He indeed remembered everything about each child.

"What is the relationship between these children and those animals?"

Edgar asked at this time. He had already guessed it, but was still waiting for an answer.

"I watched them die with my own eyes, and then extracted their souls and transplanted them into animals through an original magic."

Baptiste said, his tone was calm, as if what he was doing was ordinary.

"Of course, the initial attempt failed. Many animals were unable to combine with human souls, especially the souls of recently deceased humans. Those creatures showed strong resistance and eventually died violently. In fact, it was not until the past year that , this magic can stabilize the soul on the sea wolf's body."

"This is a serious violation of the rules of the Magic Association!"

Edgar couldn't sit still at this time. The Magic Association strictly prohibited these ancient necromantic magics, including the manipulation and transfer of souls, the creation of human bodies, etc. Only Baptiste extracted the souls of the dead children. This one item is enough to sentence him to death five times!

"Of course I know this is against the rules of the Magic Association, Lord Edgar."

Baptiste said coldly, but then he showed a gloomy expression.

"But I have no other choice. If I want to save these children, this is the only way."
