Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 26 I’m also very troubled
half an hour.

In just half an hour, Heine witnessed the reddish-brown soil of the haunted farm turn into an earthy yellow.

Just as the gentle holy light spread, the fertile fields turned into withered, yellow, lumpy, cracked earth, which felt warm when stepped on.

He also had a deeper understanding of the tyranny of the Holy Light.

Even so gentle, wait until the holy light from the three energy storage wells is released together...

No wonder this area later became the "Scorching Valley".

The only good news is that the soldiers who were harmed by phantom spells and undead magic have all woken up.

They emerged from the mine or other places, and there were nearly twenty people left. The leader was the one who kissed the air before.

He seemed to have retained part of the memory of when he was cursed, and took the initiative to come to Heine with an embarrassed expression.

"It was...your Excellency who saved us?"

Heine nodded: "Yes, I am the lord's magic advisor Heine. Sorry, I was going to set off with you, but my carriage broke down halfway, so I was late."

The soldier heard the teasing in his tone, and it was obvious that he was criticizing Arthur.

But he didn't dare to say much, so he could only keep his smile.

"No, no, no, it's not too late at all. Thanks to you, our brothers won't have to confess here, as well as Lord Arthur."

"What's your name?"

"Jalen Bender, my lord."

Jaylen stood at attention and saluted: "I am the captain of this operation and a second-level soldier."

"Hello, Jaylen."

Heine almost said out of habit, oh, that's good, but he remembered that he was an aborigine, so he suppressed it.

However, the three skeletons behind him did not express any opinions on this name.

It seems that Jay Chou has become a thing of the past in their era, or it is simply a parallel world where this person does not exist.

A total of 24 people from Jaylen and the others came, five of them died, and everyone else was injured.

This group of people's fighting ability is quite good, and they are basically not inferior to the blood servants transformed from serfs.

Coupled with the warrior's resilience and resistance to beatings, as well as the diffusion of holy light that purifies the remaining energy in their bodies, most people retain complete mobility.

Without Heine's command, they loaded their companion's body and their chief, Arthur, into the car.

Heine's carriage followed them, and together they set off on their way home.

Jiang Lu and three skeletons were in the same carriage, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet.

Mr. Sa: "Teacher Xia, why does she keep staring at you?"

"Maybe it's because my red turban looks more handsome."

Capture the Sheep: "You're so handsome, you're like a landmine thief."

Teacher Xia: "Ah, yes, yes, you have faith and blessing now, everything you say is right."

Mr. Sa: "Look at your face, you are ready to give up anything for DPS."

Catching Sheep: "Don't be too superstitious about this buff that says 'all attacks within three seconds will be critical hits'. This is not a game, it's reality, and the effects are different."

Teacher Xia: "It's indeed different. I clearly saw that Heine's electric shock staff exploded. This buff is much stronger than in the game. By the way, is there any consumption?"

Zhuoyang thought for a few seconds: "It seems that there is no consumption, but the cooling time does exist, just like when the muscles are tired, they have an estimate of the next movement, and showing off will lead to movement deformation.

"Speaking of this, I suddenly want to be more serious. We are skeletons now. We don't need to eat but we are tireless. So what is the energy that drives us? If it is soul fire, what is it that supports its burning?"

Teacher Xia couldn't help but complain: "You are worthy of graduating from hatching eggs, why are you still obsessed with this?"

Mr. Sa exclaimed: "Brother Yang is a top student. I thought top students like you didn't play games."

"Don't go off topic, Mr. Sa, think about my problem seriously. The main reason is that I have absorbed so much Holy Light, and I have no news at all. Now I am panicking. And I think thinking about this clearly can solve the problem that we have always had. Legal skills' question."

Neither of them had any good opinions, but Heine's thoughts were racing.

The suspicion of catching sheep is correct, they are undead creatures, powered by soul fire.

But they are not dead souls and do not need to counteract the attraction from the underworld.

Generally, when a necromancer summons a wandering soul to attach to him, he must first pay a portion of his spiritual power as "rent."

Every time you issue an order after that, your energy will also be consumed, similar to a "usage fee."

This is one of the reasons why most undead minions are dull and goofy, namely energy-saving mode.

But he never had this problem. After the three of them were summoned, they became independent individuals.

So what supports their actions?
At the same time, Jiang Lu was also puzzled.

She observed the entire journey, but could not detect any "strong" aura from the skeleton in front of her or Heine outside the car...

The strength of any powerful undead creature can be judged by the intensity of its soul fire.

So are they good at hiding it, or are they not aware enough and have been completely deceived?

The carriage was filled with distressed people.

It sailed back to Ebony in distress.

……

Heine did not expect that little George would come to greet him in person and accompany him all the way to the study.

in the study.

Heine briefly described the battle he saw and the results of his conversation with Dylan Gitiller.

George was satisfied.

He expressed high appreciation for Heine's attitude of neither being humble nor being arrogant and his always taking the initiative, and patted Heine's shoulder hard.

"Good job!"

But he soon frowned.

long silence.

"You mean that Kitile was deceived?" "Yes, he may have been deceived by the elf and Donald."

Heine then expressed his speculation:
“The mine is actually a device that absorbs and stores holy light, which indeed reduces the concentration of holy light around the haunted farm to a certain extent.

"I originally just wanted to save Mr. Arthur and didn't think much about it. But when I asked the other party angrily, the two Kittys actually looked shocked, so I guess they might have been deceived. .

"As for more details, maybe you can wait until Mr. Arthur wakes up and ask him. I don't recommend that you ask that Kitty in person. This is tantamount to directly calling him stupid."

George sneered: "I still have to worry about his face?"

Heine did not respond.

Both Dylan and George are obsessed with saving face.

What he said was inappropriate, and it would be better to wait for their emotions to calm down naturally.

George thought for a few seconds and suddenly said: "Donald ran away, and there are only a few unsuspecting servants left in his house."

Heine was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right. Where did he go?"

"Probably the south. He is originally a mountain man from the south. When I was young, he helped my father handle the trade between the mountain people and the dwarves. By the way, your losses this time are not small, right?"

George looked at him: "I heard that you even lost your carriage, and you went to the Silver Market to buy a lot of things in the morning."

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your sharp eyes."

"Don't be poor, go to my housekeeper to reimburse me." George patted him on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile: "You can reimburse more appropriately, but don't make me poor."

"Yes, lord."

"Just stay here with me for the next two days. Your home may not be safe."

"……it is good."

Heine thought to himself, "You are just afraid of death, so you want me to be your guard for free. No wonder you were showing your kindness and bleeding profusely."

The two chatted some more about the situation around the territory, and George popularized some regional cultural knowledge for Heine.

Before leaving, Heine deliberately asked: "What about... the prisoners?"

George was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"The rules of hunting are whoever catches the hunt gets it."

……

After dinner, Heine bought a carriage for free and replenished all the arrows consumed during the trip at the Silver Market.

As night fell, he returned to his room.

At this time, the highlight of the day came.

"Ms. Jianglu, have you eaten?"

The elf was tied tightly and looked at him expressionlessly.

"It looks like he ate it." Heine said to himself.

Three skeletons filed in and stood against the wall.

All that was left was to give them a stick and shout "Might - Wu -" to create an atmosphere.

Jianglu saw President Sa's bulging quiver and sneered:

"You took my dagger and sold it again?"

"That's not it."

Heine placed the willow leaf-shaped dagger on the table.

He originally planned to sell it, but he heard Teacher Xia wailing, "No, I might have to learn skills too."

So he gave up.

Indeed, it’s time to consider learning skills.

Isn’t there a ready-made mentor in front of me?

"Let's talk about the money you owe me."

Jiang Lu frowned: "When did I owe you money?"

"This morning I lost a carriage because of your commission."

"Ah……"

Jiang Lu smiled disdainfully.

How much is a carriage worth?

Heine: "This carriage will be credited with 15 gold coins."

"?? What broken carriage is worth 15 gold coins!?"

“It’s not about the material or the type of horse, it’s about the emotion.”

Heine nodded his chest, looking serious.

“I have a relationship with that horse, and this money is just a small amount to compensate for my emotional trauma.

"Then there are some battle losses that are not worth mentioning, including but not limited to one air-piercing arrow and three magic-breaking arrows, which will cost you 20 gold coins in total."

Once you accept the setting of 15 gold coins for the carriage, let’s look at the battle losses priced at 20 gold coins...

It’s actually a good deal?

No, what a bargain!

Jiang Lu reacted quickly and was about to refute when she suddenly heard the other party continue:
"The last and most critical item is the hush money."

Jianglu's body sat up straight for no reason.

The elf's ears also twitched.

"She was nervous."

Teacher Xia on the side commented sharply.
