"Cuckoo?"
"correct!"
Hitzfeld suddenly slapped his forehead and quickly stood up to look for potion ingredients.
That was the potion she used to endow the gray pigeon with mystical powers. She named it "Spiritual Potion No. 1" and noted it as "Special Edition for Pets". As the name suggests, it is best used only on animals. Depending on the animal species involved, the materials used must also be fine-tuned.
This medicine has been proven to be effective and has no pollution. She plans to share this achievement with Xia and give her some materials for her to try herself.
If the mixture is effective after adding Xia's blood.
What she meant was that she could give it to other Borean sea eagles to try. If they didn't die and could be tamed and controlled, then she could give it to the black owl.
In this way, when Black Owl comes next time, he will already be endowed with mystery. She may be able to communicate with Black Owl through the privileges of the "Lord of Mystery" and let Xia Yibing activate the "same view" function at that time - in this way, he can see her through Black Owl's eyes!
What a genius I am!
Hitzfeld was very excited. She made the materials she found into small packages, each of which was separated into a separate bag, and then exchanged them for a larger bag for Black Owl.
The Borean Sea Eagle couldn't help sweating.
So I have to work overtime to get a meal from you, right?
If I had known this would happen, I would have not eaten it and just gone out hunting.
……
After sending the Black Owl away, Hitzfeld ultimately did not take action against the two sparrows.
She didn't want to break the tacit understanding - she hadn't even touched Lily yet, and she wanted to let some things take their own course.
As usual, she studied and read until dawn. The next day, she asked Hu Tao to call a carriage into the mountains. She took the carriage to the address: No. 72 Nandou Street, where she received the things that Nian Lun sent to her.
When I came back, I saw that they were all controlled materials.
well.
She was gearing up.
The transformation of the White Whale can be completed this afternoon.

Chapter 19: New White Whale
There are two key factors in the transformation of the white whale. One is that Hitzfeld herself must have "excellent skills", which means that she must have all the qualities that an excellent craftsman must possess.
For example, you need to be able to swing a hammer, know how to operate a machine tool, and have rich experience in making metal parts into the same size as marked on the drawing - in short, you need to have accumulated experience and hands-on ability.
She has basically solved this problem. She has rich knowledge in the "craftsman" and "research" departments, and she has made up for the lack of hands-on practice by working in the tool room during this period of time.
Now she can operate the small machine tool with ease. She has made molds for most of the parts needed by the white whale, measured all the dimensions, and even copied the drawings.
But this alone is not enough. If this is all she has to do, the most she can do is to recast the White Whale. The new gun will at most eliminate some of the wear and tear, and it is not certain whether the overall performance will be improved.
There is also something called ghost grass. Grind its powder into a juice in a special proportion and blend it into various materials. There is a chance that it will enhance the toughness of the material.
The reason why she wanted to recast the White Whale was that she hoped the toughness of the gun could be improved so that it would be qualified to carry the fire of death.
Dead Fire... This is the core of the Dead Bone Ice Needle. To be frank, very few nightmare manifestations of extraordinary people can make this thing, which is definitely a big advantage of Hitzfeld, and she hopes to make good use of it.
[The texts that occasionally mention this say that 'only very few people, and those who have come into close contact with death, can bring back the dead fire from there.']
After lunch, Hitzfeld sat at his desk and wrote furiously.
She wasn't in a particular hurry. It was a rare vacation when she didn't have to deal with any cases. She planned to imitate those real researchers and take notes on every step of the experiment.
[But the dead fire is too special. Although the existence of "God" has been discovered in Namibia, a series of secrets learned later all point to the possibility that "God" is just a powerful person.]
[So do the 'hell' and 'underworld' in mythology exist? Can the so-called 'dead fire' and 'dead spirits' really be considered real?]
[I personally tend to think that these mythological worlds are all God's Secret Realm - either they are God's Secret Realm, or they are not even God's Secret Realm, that is, there is no "Underworld" at all, and there is no place in the world that is specifically used to collect dead souls.]
When writing this passage, Hitzfeld actually hesitated.
From an emotional point of view, she hopes there is an underworld.
Because in this way, the souls of all the dead creatures can rest in the underworld, and perhaps after her death she can go to that place and reunite with them, and death will no longer be a purely sad thing.
But she has at least... at least experienced the baptism and torture of modern science and values, so such mythical things can only be thought of in dreams.
[Nothing is left after death.] She continued.
[The body turns to ash, the spirit is annihilated. The so-called will is something that cannot be seen or touched. Even if there is an heir, after a hundred years, there will be nothing left.]
Therefore, she was more inclined to believe that the two things, the undead fire and the undead, were special phenomena caused by the dream world and the influence of the gray fog.
It is known that humans have a chance to hatch nightmare seeds when they have nightmares. In the initial stage of this process, the nightmare exists in the form of a pupa, and the pupa sheath is the person himself.
When the nightmare intensifies its stimulation and its mental will collapses completely, the mystery in the void will be injected into its body. The monster will break out of its cocoon and instantly drain all the life essence from the human body.
That also includes the spirit. To some extent, it can be said that the Nightmare Evil Seed is another form of the human spirit that was hatched and born with the help of human flesh and blood after returning from the gray fog journey.
It is very terrifying to understand nightmares from this perspective, because they can be completely regarded as human beings themselves - the spirit is still the same spirit, and the life, flesh and blood essence also come from themselves, but the sanity is gone, and they only remember the deepest nightmares.
[Nightmare is a phenomenon that is the product of human spiritual pollution. Similarly, I guess the dead spirits are spirits captured by the gray fog.]
With great caution and with great force pressing down on the tip of the pen, Hitzfeld wrote down these words firmly.
[There are some people whose souls will dissipate when they die. However, it may be during the Eternal Night, when the dream world is closest to the earth. Their souls are captured by some phenomenon, which may be a natural phenomenon or a man-made phenomenon like the "Black Snake". They are brought into the dream world and become wandering spirits in the gray fog. On this basis, the fire of the dead souls is ignited...]
The blue flame appears to be burning, but its properties and physical phenomena are actually 'icy cold', which is the opposite of reality.
[At present, I still don’t know the principle of the generation of the dead fire. I am still exploring. There are still secrets hidden in it...]
"okay."
Throwing away the pen, Hitzfeld stretched.
This was enough for the notes. She couldn't continue writing because she really didn't know where the undead fire came from.
But she had a direction - she had some doubts about the legend being inaccurate, that is, if one wanted to ignite and bring back the fire of death, it was not enough to have a close contact with death, one needed to actually die.
This is because she could find two examples so far: Lendis and herself had such experiences.
She herself had died before. She was used as a carrier for a ritual and slept in a coffin for forty years. When she woke up, she had a completely different body. The past her was equivalent to being dead.
Coldis had died as well. He was actually a person from the Earth hundreds of years ago. His heart was dug out by the Secret Keeper, and time stopped flowing in his body. In addition, he later transformed himself, so he might be seen as a pure dead man by the gray fog or the mystical laws of Namiia.
They have all died, so they can handle this new energy.
Where does this energy come from?
She felt that this thing had nothing to do with the evil god, but was related to the mystery of Namiia itself and those extinct mythological particles.
It must be mentioned here that the Dead Bone Ice Needle is a very special spirit, and its ability to interfere with reality is stronger than Changxia.
Such a thing, even if it is not a flame of icy nature, but just an ordinary flame that can burn objects in reality, is exaggerated in this era when mystery has drastically receded.
Is there... an original mystery, some kind of rule, or some kind of object, artifact... has it been preserved?
The power of the artifact allows this mystery to continue to operate, so the dead fire can exist in the world.
If so, it's hidden really deeply.
That artifact, the carrier of the dead fire, may be hidden in a corner of the earth... It is very likely to be conscious and even dream. The mysterious rules involved in the dead fire are its projection in the dream world.
Leaning back in his chair in a daze, Hitzfeld suddenly thought of his resurrection from the dead.
The reason why Coldis hated the goddess and the keeper of secrets after that incident, and even gave up looking for Mansura... that is, Laurel in Namiia without being sure whether she was alive or dead, was largely because he thought she was dead.
Similarly, the reason why he threw himself, as the carrier of the ritual, into the coffin and buried him with the other people who died at the time was because he thought she was dead.
He must know the technique, so he made this judgment.
Then why didn't I die...
Not only did he not die, he was resurrected and even transformed into another gender...
Life and Death…
The mystery of the two sexes...
The properties of dead fire are opposite to those of normal fire...
They are all opposite and relative, just like the world in a mirror, which is the inside and outside of each other. Is there any connection between them?
"Could it be that the thing was right next to me at the time?"
This thought popped into her mind, and she was quickly shocked by her own boldness.
But it is possible - when you have no evidence that it is wrong, you can't deny it completely.
"If all of this was influenced by that thing, then my resurrection and my transformation can all be explained..."
She couldn't sit still, so she stood up and walked around the room, her eyes fixed on the wood grain on the floor and the patterns on the carpet, her thoughts already drifting into the long river of time.
But if such an object does exist, what would it be?
Where is it hidden?
Reaching down to her neck, the girl gently stroked the collar.
The collar my mother left behind can only protect my body below the neck. It cannot resurrect the dead. It cannot do that.
The only suspect is...
The past scenes flashed back before her eyes, and she activated her divine eyes to produce projections. Before she returned to the ritual, she once again witnessed how she once again took the wooden box off the platform.
Freeze frame, the texture of the wooden box continued to magnify in her eyes.
What’s the point of me thinking about this now?
With a sigh, he relaxed his control over the Divine Eye and tore the projection into pieces. Then Hitzfeld lost his strength and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes and beginning to doze off.
"but……"
After a while, her response came from the room.
"If this is Mother's intention, she wants to send the last keeper back to Namiia, and then let her die to get rid of their pursuit..."
There was darkness in his vision. Hitzfeld vaguely saw the woman again. Her exposed chin was bloody and mangled, as if a large piece of skin had been peeled off.
……
In the afternoon, she officially began to recast the White Whale.
This was definitely the most difficult work she had undertaken so far - this route alone, because the material of the white whale itself was very unusual, it might have come from an artifact.
That broken sword, maybe it is really a fragment of a divine weapon.
In short, she had to be extremely alert, as any mistake in any step would lead to failure.
Before working, let the ice needles circle the tool room, leaving a cold breath, so that small animals including Lily will not dare to come.
She didn't want to be interrupted during the process, nor did she want to hurt them by accident.
Then they began to disassemble the beluga whale, breaking it into 41 parts, taking photos of each part, and then placing them in a special high-temperature furnace in order.
Ordinary stoves are not enough. Don't forget that white whales have the property of absorbing heat. The upper limit is very amazing. A fire at normal temperature must burn for a long time to soften the metal.
This continued for several hours, with Hitzfeld watching closely to make sure the first piece of material had softened.
She took out the container, picked up the prepared medicine from the side, and added ghost grass powder to it and sprinkled it on it.
Chi chi chi——
A puff of white smoke rose from the metal surface, and it was an extremely strong smell of burning. The girl couldn't help but pinch her nose and waved her hand to disperse the smoke.
But he did not dare to relax at all, and kept his eyes on the molten material. He put it back into the furnace to roast it, and then gave the containers for other parts a set of ghost grass sets in turn.
We keep tinkering like this until it gets dark, and then we need to turn on the lights to ensure lighting, and the first step is completed.
Hitzfeld was sweating from working by the stove, so she simply took off her work top and stood there in just trousers and a vest apron, operating the tools and starting to forge and shape.
There was a sudden clanging noise in the tool shed, mixed with sparks and crackling sounds, which scared Lily on the other side and made her scream.
"Mysterious knowledge says that parts are most malleable at this time. If you want to use them to carry certain chemical agents in the future, such as corpse fluid warheads, it is best to start using objects of that nature to contact them now, and then repeatedly forge them until they are completely adapted..."
Hitzfeld was thinking about the key points of knowledge in his mind, but his hands did not slow down at all. He summoned ice needles and tapped each part.
