Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 246 The Sunken Earth

Simon knew very well that the investigation was simply a pretense.

The elves' shepherds and the priests of the Eternal Dawn have been busy for so many years and have come up with nothing. How can a temporary group be formed to solve this problem?
He thought this might be Ian's tough talk to save his face.

So he said: "I understand your appeal. Of course you can engage in research in this area. We will not obstruct it..."

"Do not."

Ian knocked on the table.

“I mean, this group is going to fully cooperate with my research.

"If it were me in the past, I would never spend time on boring political shows. But now, the undercurrent behind this has seriously interfered with my research and life.

"So I think instead of wasting time trying to protect ourselves, it's better to take a stand and resolve the issue once and for all."

Simon's expression froze.

She knew this was the limit of the other party's concessions.

What kind of active publicity is needed?
The entire Velitas media will stick to them like candy bars for news!
Thinking of this, Simon suppressed the excitement in his heart.

At this time, Teacher Xia suddenly came over.

Even though he was relatively dull about politics and didn't want to think about it, he realized the information gap after having more information:

“I admit that your lord far exceeded my expectations.

This is why Ian suddenly decided to join.

"Is this what he meant?" he asked quietly.

This "he" obviously refers to Heine.

He realized that the problem was not that simple.

He looked at the dwarf, who also withdrew his gaze from Teacher Xia.

This guy is no longer content with withering, and has begun to study the ancestors of the Zanluo people!

But that's enough, because they can then loudly publicize the signal sent by this behavior and build momentum for the Basques.

The latter was startled and quickly pulled him aside.

The dwarves must have encountered similar troubles as Blight, otherwise Ian would not be active in the major ruins in the south, carrying out activities called archaeology that are actually "creating monsters" everywhere.

"And I will publicly declare my support for Basque's candidacy for parliament - you know what that means, right?"

He suddenly felt that he should go back to the McCalla Mountains in advance, which should have been done after the negotiation.

In this process, the Shining Gold Alliance, headed by Ian Hodel and his ancestors, has always been a huge obstacle standing in front of them.

The other party gave too much.

The black-bellied sister didn't know that Ian had researched on withering and the things behind it involving Yuanling.

Ian grinned and said: "High risk, high reward, you should understand this. My support is important political capital, and it is normal for the price to be high."

He patted Simon on the shoulder.

But now it's better, Ian plans to skip this step and directly support Basque!
Is he...is he crazy?
Since Vilitas established his own business empire relying on the magic network, he has never stopped "eroding" the dwarves.

He immediately began to think about how to get in touch with "above".

Simon nodded.

Simon's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

"right"

Not only can he now perform paternity tests for the Zanluo people, but he can also make a stand-in for Brother Warrior, which is terrifying!
"This condition is acceptable"

"A public statement?"

Ian continued: "Since you and the people behind you are from the McCalla Mountains, you must also understand how much Velitas values ​​this place.

However, neither group of people knew that Heine was now far ahead in research on blight.

"I understand that at this level, it is no longer a transaction that you can lead."

The magic network is paralyzed, and now information transmission is very troublesome.

There must be something wrong here.

With the help of Dai Lin, he understood the conversation between the two.

He was just staring at the words that popped up above his head when he was talking to Delin.

But now, Basque wants to gain support from the ultimate die-hard like Ian...

"This is very different from what we expected, so I can't make the decision." Simon replied thoughtfully.

“Out of respect for him, I would like to join you.

After thinking about it, Teacher Xia felt that it was too troublesome to explain.

“It’s a miracle that someone as courageous as him can be born in such a closed environment, and it’s even more of a miracle that he has taken advantage of this chaos to make some jaw-dropping achievements.

Even under Huihui's most optimistic estimate, Ian would only be in name.

He nodded.

Simon was relieved, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, the most ruthless one is Heine!

Maybe the long-term plan of "Naga" also came from Heine.

As expected of that guy...

While he was thinking about it, Teacher Xia looked at Ian.

"Can I ask a question?" Ian: "Okay."

"Why do you insist on studying blight? That is the matter of elves."

Ian was not surprised. He asked: "Do you know why there are various ancient ruins only in the mountains in the North and the South?"

Simon frowned and thought.

Teacher Xia looked at Dai Lin:
"So why"

Delin spread her hands: "How do I know?"

"You are a very old elf."

Dai Lin gave him a thumbs up gesture:
"I just suck!"

Teacher Xia regretted not learning Brother Wei's Question Mark Storm.

He really wanted to ask questions now.

Ian raised his eyebrows and explained before the atmosphere became too humorous:

“I have never been to the Northland, but it is said that due to the cold, most of the ruins there are underground laboratories and warehouses.

"The ruins we have here are mainly divided into two types, half are underground mausoleums, and half are former palaces and pavilions."

Dai Lin: "You really like digging holes. I can understand why mausoleums are built, but palaces and buildings are all built underground..."

Ian: "I thought so at first, but it wasn't until later that I realized that it was not the case. Those palaces... were slowly swallowed up by the earth."

He said things in a calm tone that made people think deeply.

The three looked at each other - if they could read a skeleton's expression.

Simon: "You mean...the earth is swallowing up the buildings on the surface?"

Ian nodded: "Yes, the earth seems to be a 'living creature', swallowing our buildings into its body.

"The mountain fortress Cangqiong City that you are familiar with once really stood on the top of the mountain, but now, it has sunk into the ground. This is a secret that the Shining Gold Alliance has always guarded.

“The reason why there are many hills and mountains in the south is because of the soil that is slowly discharged from the body of the ‘earth’.

"A similar situation may not occur in the Northland, because the soil there is cold and hard, and the terrain is vast, so the change is slow, but I guess it won't be too different."

After a pause, he sighed: "The world is actually already very sick, and different ethnic groups face different problems.

"What's even more sad is that almost everyone is aware of this, but not everyone has the courage to face it.

"So as long as I have the opportunity, I don't want to let it go. Even if I know that I will be used by you, as long as it can bring me closer to the answer, it is good."

Hearing this, Simon also had mixed feelings in his heart.

If it were him in the past, he would probably sneer at Ian's words.

But since becoming Heine's spy, he has been exposed to more and more secret content, and listened to more voices other than Velitas, the more he can understand Ian.

The world is indeed very sick.

The elves are facing withering, and the Northland is suffering from the undead.

The dwarves are being swallowed by the earth, and the Zanluo people are fighting among themselves.

Vilitas...

It was originally a paradise, but the outbreak of the void disaster put a question mark on everything.

How to look around...

Is the McCalla Mountains the safest? ? ?
...

After Teacher Xia made the decision, some details remained.

Simon and Ian quickly ended the discussion.

After all, although this trip is to "extensively" recruit dwarf totem masters into the group, they have to travel to a lot of places.

But this is Ian Hoddle.

Now that he's here, he doesn't care about the three melons and two dates.

The two parties agreed to meet east of Yingxian Mountain one month later.

The place has been washed by the holy light. Because it is too far from the sun, not a single blade of grass can grow, so there are no living creatures living there, so there are no cracks or strange beasts. It is very safe.

What will come then is the large force sent by Velitas.

"Are you going back to inform Heine?"

After seeing Ian off, Teacher Xia immediately asked Simon.

Simon nodded.

This is indeed what Megumin arranged. He was going to go back and tell Heine about the recent major events in Velitas, and ask him to restrain himself.

Logically speaking, this special operations team will not pass through the McCalla Mountains.

But we still need to take precautions before they happen, lest someone loses control of their legs and feet.

Teacher Xia: "Then you come with me to the Zanluo Plateau. I will go back soon."

Simon was stunned: "What should I do there?"

In fact, he wanted to ask from the beginning:
Why does Heine's skeleton come from the Zanluo Plateau?
Has he already sent someone to fight?

Teacher Xia: "When we do business with those barbarians, we need someone with brains."

Doing business with the Zanluo people?
Simon’s expression is wonderful.

This is a career plan he never imagined...
