Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 244: A Thousand Miles Victory

No matter what Ian thought, Simon was really relieved.

He didn't expect the dwarf to be so decisive.

Fortunately, there is this guy...

He couldn't help but look at Teacher Xia.

Once upon a time, he thought Heine's skeleton was the scariest thing in the world, but now it actually looked a little cute.

At this time, a bright elf face suddenly appeared in front of him, and Simon was startled.

He took two steps back, and then he saw clearly that the ghostly elf lady was floating sideways in front of him.

"Miss, can you stop being so mysterious..."

Dailin drew a figure in the air like a fish.

"No, my teacher said that I am as restless as a little bee. By the way, what are you looking at the back of his head? Is there anything interesting? Why are you getting together with the dwarves? You are not in Velitas Is it? Is it being eroded by the void over there?"

Including but not limited to four dwarf camps were destroyed by strange beasts, and then they relied on Jayne to enter here.

If Teacher Xia hadn't appeared out of thin air, he would have faced a huge strange beast that had been fed by nearly a hundred people into a monster when he got out.

But he still took several people away from the sarcophagus prepared for Simon and came to an uninhabited land.

She seemed to be holding back her nerves, and Simon was bombarded with a series of questions that for a moment he didn't know which one to answer first.

"Thank you for your help. Although things are slightly different from what I thought, the results are the same. It's just that the people above took more radical measures."

Here, Delin quickly introduced what she and Teacher Xia had seen outside.

Delin wrinkled her nose at him.

An undead spirit that has no energy of death and can still hear words popping out of its head...

What is this all about?

There is also a guy who is more undead than undead, but lives in a dagger.

She added.

Undead...

Dai Lin was speechless for a while.

The undead souls without death...

"You are so lazy. You need to practice more to improve. Look at that one of yours called Sheep Catcher, how smoothly he communicates with others."

Although Ian Hodel is well-informed, he can't help but be confused after seeing this style of painting too much.

"Oh, by the way, the guy named One-Eyed Jayne is the only survivor and 'witness'. We brought him in and hid him at the entrance."

"I just suck"

Teacher Xia pointed his thumb up and gave himself a thumbs up:

Ian nodded slightly.

Before he could answer, Teacher Xia flicked the dagger and signaled her to get down to business:

"Tell them about the situation outside."

He was confident that there would be no problem in escaping, but most of his archaeological team were ordinary people, so they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"Did you guys gain anything?" Ian asked.

Teacher Xia did not answer, but looked at Dai Lin.

The latter spoke for him:

"Tell me first why you took the initiative to contact the Splittoe clan, and what is the meaning of the few gold bars sent?"

Ian smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"If my guess is correct, you are the mysterious third party in the Yingzhi Mountain incident. Jinya's wealth was not buried in the mountain and melted by the death energy and holy light, but was secretly taken away.

"Looking at the entire southern mountainous area, he is the only one who has been abandoned by fashion and trends and is still keen on melting gold into gold bars, so when it appeared, I noticed it immediately."

Simon was stunned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was also involved in that matter, I..."

"Did you participate as a lackey of the Velitas?" Ian sneered.

"No, I was someone else's lackey at that time."

Simon said seriously.

Really good...

Teacher Xia couldn't help but look at him twice.

No wonder this guy, an ordinary person, can survive today... He didn't even draft this nonsense.

That day in the prison of Eagle Wing City, he was clearly fooled by Heine, and now he suddenly became one of his own.

As expected, Ian became interested and asked doubtfully: "You mean, you stopped working for Lion Trading House at that time?"

Simon showed a mysterious smile: "No, until now, I have been working for Lion Trading House, at least on the surface. Taking this operation as an example, my mission is clear and official.

"The 'Blight Investigation Special Action Team' jointly formed by the three races is about to take action. On behalf of the newly formed Basque consortium, I invite 'Master Hargen' to join."

Simon's wording was so literal that Teacher Xia scratched her head, and Dai Lin had to translate it into vernacular for him.

Ian frowned.

Simon did say this, and he also knew Basque.

However, he always thought that his compatriots had become pawns for the Velitas to embezzle the dwarves' wealth. But if Simon is really as he said, ostensibly working for the Institute of Truth, but secretly changing his master long ago, wouldn't that mean...

Ian raised his brows slightly: "The Basque Consortium was not established by the Velitas people? Is the person behind it also related to the Eagle Mountain incident?"

"Yes."

Simon nodded.

He was also surprised by the guy's quick reaction.

In Huihui's words, the first impression Ian Hodel leaves on people is that he is "hard-fledged".

He has supported the Shuojin Alliance alone for so many years, escaping countless assassinations and conspiracies, and he often leads the group to wander around in the ruins outside...

Ten lives might not be enough for someone else, but he is still alive and well.

But if you think about it carefully, is life tough enough?

Obviously, his intelligence cannot be underestimated.

But he is very good at disguising his wisdom as luck, making others feel as if this little old man who loves adventure has been lucky all his life, so they will despise him.

Such as this time.

"He and I," Simon pointed at Teacher Xia, "we are all loyal to Lord George and his staff in the McCalla Mountains."

"Staff..."

Ian's heart moved, he probably knew who it was.

That mystery man: Rick Eisley.

After the Yingxian Mountain incident, he paid attention to the "gold bars" on the market.

In the end, only this guy named Rick Eisley secretly shot a batch, and then disappeared without a trace.

Even if he deliberately investigates the other party's accounts, he can't find any clues - there are losses and gains, but the total property is always stuck below the investigation line of the Ministry of Secrets.

Even if he wanted to investigate, there was no reason to do anything...

That is the Lion King's trade network after all.

But Ian didn't ask any further questions.

"What about Basque? Is he your puppet?" he said.

Simon: "No, no, no, all our actions in Velitas are legal and reasonable. Mr. Basque is the person who will run for parliament on behalf of the dwarves in the future. How could the Ministry of Secrets allow someone behind him, and this person is not Velita?" Sri Lankan?"

Ian sneered: "What's the difference? That useless guy from Basque is not a candidate for politics at all. You guys must be the ones behind it to succeed so smoothly.

"Besides, according to the laws of Vilitas, once a consortium owner like him enters the political arena, he must hand over his property to someone else to take care of it. You must have already decided on this person.

"So, once he becomes a member of Parliament, his wealth and reputation can be used by you. However, he himself thinks that he has reached the peak of his life. Is there any better puppet than this?"

"You see clearly."

Simon praised.

Indeed, as the other party said, this is the conspiracy of Duoduo and Huihui.

As a dwarf, Basque has a lot of wealth and natural racial advantages, but he knows nothing about either.

What's this?

Innate Puppet Holy Body!

As a participant in this plan, Simon watched with his own eyes as the two men transformed Basque from a rustic into a politician with long sleeves and good dancing.

Now he once again believed what Heine said:

Even if he told Scrooge Darhk all this, or told any member of the Council of Six face to face, no one would believe him.

This is a miracle.

And now, Megumin has announced that she will bring Ian Hodel, the stubborn force among the dwarves, into the camp.

He came without hesitation.

Simon: "If Mr. Basque had half your eyesight, he wouldn't still not understand his situation to this day."

"He deserves his wealth and status because of his ignorance."

Although Ian's tone was sarcastic, it seemed more like he was laughing at himself.

Laugh at yourself for seeing clearly.

what's the point?

The clearer I see, the more I feel my own powerlessness.

There is nothing sadder than watching things slowly turn out to be as bad as you expected.

Now that things have happened, he actually envies Basque.

Just be a happy fool, and wealth and status are at your fingertips.

...

Under Dai Lin's explanation, Teacher Xia gradually understood.

What a puppet? Isn’t this just a puppet? ?

The black-bellied sister really has something!

Except for Heine, who can't mention others, he is really accurate in mentioning others.

Seeing that Simon had dispelled Ian's hostility, Teacher Xia unwrapped himself.

Inside is a large lump of quicklime-like material, roughly the size of a human head, which is emitting a pale light.
