Chapter 977: Chapter 334 Does My Mentor Have Such Prestige?_2
In fact, she had passed out before, mainly because she was surrounded by spirits coming and going all night, making her mentally fragile. It mainly started when she was having breakfast and Aurora came over to give her a finger, telling her to follow after finishing her meal… but she didn’t recognize any of the signs on the walls and came in without any mental preparation.
Now that she thought about it, that must have been a laboratory or some classroom. Having so many limbs wouldn’t be strange for a Necromancer…
…Not strange, probably.
“Hello,” Christina hesitantly responded, “Did I see things earlier…?”
“No, it was just an accident.”
The young man with a deathly aura responded, “I’m very sorry about that.”

You say that, but your expression doesn’t seem very apologetic… rather it’s quite proud. Want me to compliment you?
Christina muttered inwardly.
“…That’s really impressive, that thing.”
She forced a smile, offering vague praise.
I’ll compliment you since you’re good-looking…
“Right!”
The young man’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he spoke faster: “I made many prototypes at first, from humanoid spirits with six arms to ones with hands for heads, and then ones with hands on their legs. Then I thought about planting them in the ground, like flowers… This idea felt quite good, I took notes, and it might later be useful for recycling. One main reason I didn’t continue was that ‘a cluster of hands’ actually doesn’t grow many arms, they block the sunlight from the leaves once they grow, but if we could cluster the light-absorbing part on the skin, then transplanting it into a body might pose unknown risks. Perhaps if I collaborate with a botanist, we could explore the plan of growing organs on trees… Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Albert Lorey, you might have heard my name.”
…What are you talking about? It sounds impressive, yet also kind of twisted…
Christina felt a bit dizzy listening and her brain automatically filtered out the parts she felt were a bit off, but her intuition told her it was best not to continue asking. Yet, she clearly heard and understood the last sentence.
“You are that Albert Lorey!”
She was suddenly shocked.
That young master of the Lorey family, especially in Leipzig City, could be said to be the biggest star of all!
At the age of ten, before even entering the Transcendent realm, he could spontaneously summon the dead just by crying; at sixteen, just over two years after becoming a Transcendent, he could repair and modify spiritual bodies without tools; by eighteen, he already independently created thirty-six unprecedented types of stitched corpses, eight of which are still not publicly released due to being too advanced; by twenty-five, he reached the Fourth Level of dual Paths… It can be said that being able to reach the Fifth Power Level before thirty and dual Paths Fifth Power Level before forty makes him a “natural great figure.”
Undoubtedly, he is the strongest candidate for the next Black Chancellor!
When he first entered university, he was personally awarded an honorary lordship medal, including a territory and manor by the King, because of his contributions in the field of stitched corpses; he was publicly commended and granted the rank of lieutenant by the Army Minister without spending a day on the battlefield. Now, before even graduating, he joined Stibium Laboratory, a national level alchemical workshop, taking on a leadership role…
To protect him, this genius Necromancer’s specific appearance wasn’t reported. There are no photos or personal information about him in public, and even from the black market, nothing could be bought.
If it weren’t for the fact that Aiwass from Avalon is now the Eternal Pope… Many within Stibium believe that Albert Lorey surpasses Aiwass Moriarty from Avalon as the strongest, most talented young Transcendent! Moreover, he is considered the “Future of Stibium”!
—Shouldn’t he be at the “Stibium Laboratory” currently, working on confidential projects?
One of Christina’s senior classmates had once boastfully told her, “The project Albert Lorey is working on could completely reverse the current situation where Stibium is unilaterally suppressed by Avalon, and Stibium could launch an extremely fierce counterattack against Avalon if it goes well.” His family is involved in smuggling to Avalon, so this information should be accurate.
But… how has he already returned to the Spirit Summoning Tower? Has that project already failed?
Wait—
Christina suddenly remembered, yesterday her “mentor” Aurora had been intimately holding Lorey’s head. If she dismissed any terrifying stories like “taking the lead in the charge,” could it be that they… were in that kind of relationship?
My mentor, actually acquainted with such a legendary figure?!
Christina was immediately overjoyed.
In her eyes, the genius Lorey was undeniably a great figure on the same level as Count Dorn. Although he was not yet at the Fifth Power Level, that was only temporary; in the future, he would certainly surpass his rival…
And yet she had almost sold herself to Count Dorn for mere money—for a month, and maybe even her soul in the end. In front of Count Dorn, she wasn’t even considered a person.
But now, she had the opportunity to connect with such a figure who would definitely wield power and possibly ascend to become a deity in the Dream Realm in the future. All thanks to Miss Aleister’s blessing!
While Christina was pondering this, Albert hesitantly asked in a soft voice, “I heard… you belong to Aleister?”
“…Huh?”
She was stunned for a moment: “You know my mentor as well?”
Even a significant figure like Albert knew that respected person?
Who exactly is she?
“Mentor?”
Hearing this, Albert was greatly surprised.
He swiftly exchanged a glance with Aurora, then seemed to understand something: “Were you personally resurrected by her?”
—Can he even tell that I was resurrected by someone?!
Christina was extremely shocked.
Resurrection… she thought it was some sort of unspeakable taboo.
But at that moment, Christina felt her body suddenly turn cold and her skin tighten. This was a sign that Alice inside her was taking control of her body.
When Alice took over, her pupils suddenly became covered with a dull yellow hue, looking lifeless.
“—When you fainted this morning, it was I who controlled your body and brought you here. Otherwise, would you have preferred to be carried over by a bloody stitched-up corpse?”
Alice spoke softly, “At that time, they already knew you were a resurrected corpse… But, speaking of which.”
“Christina” frowned slightly, sizing up Albert: “I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before. Are you with that ‘Prohibition’…?”
“‘Stranger,’ my lord. ‘Prohibition’ is Count Leipzig…”
Christina watched as Albert placed his right hand on his chest, bowed deeply to her with utmost seriousness: “I am very honored to meet you again.”
—What?
My mentor is that influential?
Christina, who knew nothing about “Aleister,” was completely stunned.
