111 Professor Cao's Lecture

Professor Cao stood like an iron tower on the side, his gaze deep as he watched them.

"Remember, the moment a wizard becomes a lich, everything about that person disappears! The moment a witch-hunting knight turns into a Stone Treasure statue, everything about that person also vanishes!"

"That's why we strip the skin off a lich to craft armor."

"That's why we also take the antlers from the heads of witch-hunting knights, to pass on to the next generation."

"In the transcendent world, everyone is desperately struggling. If someone can grab a lifeline, they will grasp it, and it's utterly primitive."

"Everyone yearns to establish civilization and order in this wild land, but despair shrouds everything, forcing people to revert to the most primitive form of natural selection."

"We won't investigate who was the first to tear out the core of a witch-hunting knight's furnace and implant it into their own body in an attempt to obtain the other's power."
