Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 306 Dark History and Prelude
Push time forward a little.

On a tree on the west side of the Blight Mark, the shade of the tree covers two elves.

When the airship of the investigation team passed by slowly, Jiang Lu and Hui Yue raised their heads in unison.

When the airship disappeared from sight, they escaped from natural concealment.

Also appearing with them was Teacher Xia, who had always been sneaking.

There is no way, he wants to speak, but the words he types will sneak up with him.

Hui Yue: "The target has been reached, we can arrange manpower to set up defenses here."

Jiang Lu nodded and suddenly looked at Teacher Xia:

"Do you still remember your dream when you were a child?"

Naturally, I didn't say this to Teacher Xia.

Dai Lin appeared like a paper figure, waving her hands nervously.

"I don't remember! You'd better not say anything!"

The two sisters had already met, but the scene was not as warm as everyone imagined.

I don’t know if Delin is missing something in her brain due to her special form of existence, or if it’s just her nature.

In short, she seems to be allergic to warmth. When she sees Jiang Lu showing memories and nostalgia, she will fly like a wild bee in embarrassment.

This is so kind to Teacher Xia.

This is simply a different world.

So he asked:

"What a dream?"

I don’t mean anything else, I’m just curious about this dark history.

"Ahhh, shut up!" Delin glared at him: "Why are you causing trouble!"

Before Teacher Xia could reply, Jiang Lu started.

"You kid, how can you talk to others?"

Her eyebrows furrowed: "You were clearly crying and shouting, 'I am willing to practice three thousand dark attacks in exchange for seeing that beautiful third princess.' How could you still forget it? Tell the truth, Are there signs of becoming undead?"

This is what Jiang Lu has been most worried about.

She was afraid that her sister would start to forget like an undead, and eventually turn into the soul on a weapon.

After all, her current body can be blown away by a gust of wind, so it's hard to say how many memories it can hold.

But when she said this, Dailin held her head and rolled in the air in pain, as if her whole body was about to explode.

The worry in Jiang Lu's eyes became more intense.

"Do you still remember how you used to secretly cut curtains to make dresses of the same style as the three princesses? You also imitated her in braiding her hair but tangled it into one piece, imitated her in raising foxes but was chased and bitten by the phantom fox, and..."

She seemed to be lost in memories again, her eyes became softer, and her words contained some nostalgia for the past.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I remembered it all!"

Delin stepped forward to stop her sister: "Sister, I'm fine, I'm fine. I remember all these things clearly, and thank you for remembering them so clearly."

"Really?" Jiang Lu asked suspiciously.

"Really, absolutely true!"

"Ok."

Jiang Lu sighed and forced a smile: "As long as you're fine, let's go back quickly."

Teacher Xia: "You go ahead, I will protect Heine."

Dai Lin was shocked. She wanted to open this guy's head to see what he was thinking.

But Jiang Lu and Hui Yue had no objection to this and left alone.

After the two left, Dai Lin put her hands on her hips and asked:
"What do you mean?"

Teacher Xia: "Please call me Angel of Dreams."

Delin: "Huh?"

Teacher Xia ignored her and walked forward.

Dailin also quickly retracted her dagger.

But she still reached out and asked:

"Did you really do this just to let me see Renee?"

"of course not"

"You can't lie to me!"

The skeleton ignored her and made a silencing gesture.

When he got close to the airship and saw the light emitted by the Harmonic Instrument, Teacher Xia suddenly stopped.

It’s broken, why do you still have this thing?

"What's wrong?" Dailin asked.

"My stealth will be detected by this thing"

He scratched his head.

Dai Lin was surprised. This was the first time she saw this guy deflated and showing such a distressed "look".

"But your stealth has almost no flaws, how could you be detected?"

"This is a soul protective shield. I can't hide the soul fluctuations."

Dai Lin was even more surprised: "Isn't hiding soul fluctuations a skill that needs to be mastered from the beginning?"

Teacher Xia wants to say that it is really not the case.

The attributes of elves are all low-status - attributes steadily increase based on talent.

Although it does not develop into a hexagonal warrior, the points are distributed relatively evenly.

The player's attribute map is like Mao Lilan's hair, a pillar holding the sky.

Practice whatever your career requires.

Therefore, controlling soul fluctuations, something that sounds like an intellectual profession, will have to wait until later.

To upgrade the stealth skill from level 6 to level 7, you need to complete a special soul disguise task to unlock this thing.

When his proficiency was maxed out, he was wanted by the Shadow Temple and completely ignored the mission.

Later, I had time and no need for it, and then I simply didn’t bother to do it.

Strictly speaking, if you don't consider covering up the soul fluctuations, his stealth can be regarded as level seven.

After all, the realism of "AGE" is that as long as you don't stop practicing, your proficiency will continue to increase, and there is no such thing as "stuck".

And some skill levels are like Michelin stars. The system has one set of standards, but the players have another set of standards.

Delin: "Isn't it because you are lazy?"

Teacher Xia was stunned: "You scold me again."

Dai Lin floated around him and said with a smile, "Then I'll teach you, it's very simple!"

Only then did Teacher Xia remember that this guy seemed to be a wanderer too.

Moreover, Jianglu's stealth has level 5 but she only has level 3. It is said that Dailin Chenxi's talent is better than hers...

……

……

"Why are you here?" Heine asked.

Teacher Xia: "I'm really worried about your safety."

——At least half of the reason is that I am worried about your safety!
He added mentally.

Heine asked suspiciously: "Did you hold it in for too long?"

Teacher Xia was surprised. As expected of Heine, his guess was accurate.

"It makes me sad to think that way," he said. Heine was shocked, is this guy addicted to drama?

"When did you come?" he asked.

Teacher Xia: "I've been following you since you two got off the airship."

Heine was shocked: "Ah? Can you even avoid the mental protection of the Harmony Instrument?"

If the protective barrier could be sneaked into casually, it would have been infiltrated into a sieve by the sneaking beasts.

Teacher Xia: "My stealth has been upgraded. It is now level seven, and I can evade that kind of magical equipment."

No wonder...

Heine finally understood why he hadn't noticed the other party.

I could still feel it before, but this time it really felt like a ghost.

But then he asked curiously: "How did you upgrade? Did Lou Dun make a new 'skill stone' in the other world?"

Teacher Xia: "No, it depends on my day and night practice and outstanding understanding."

I believe you as a ghost...

Heine believed the first half of the sentence. After all, Teacher Xia had been using it day and night for half a year since he learned how to sneak.

And since "the promotion ceremony is an extremely efficient training room" is established, it means that their skill upgrades always follow the principle of "practice makes perfect" and have no strong binding relationship with themselves as the instructor.

As for the second half of the sentence...

He knew how shameless this guy was, so he might as well forget it.

"Then will you come on board the ship with me?" Heine asked.

Teacher Xia: "Of course, I am here to protect you personally."

Most likely it has other purposes, Heine thought.

But he still said: "If nothing else happens, I will return to the magic tent located in the slit of space at night. Is this okay with you?"

Teacher Xia: "Don't worry, it's no problem."

After repeated confirmation, Heine gave up his worries.

Just come, he can feel more at ease with this guy here.

Anyway, Teacher Xia, who has level 7 stealth, is like air, and Ian can't detect anything.

Just when he was thinking this, Ian turned back.

Heine suffered a cardiac arrest!

"What kind of plants were here before?" Ian asked.

Heine breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "A huge withered piranha. This place used to be called a flower disaster area. All the plants were almost integrated. The flower ran as fast as a beast."

"What happened next? How did you deal with those plants?"

"We can't solve it. We can only wait for them to return to nature." Heine shook his head and said: "After the wither here was solved, the wither beasts fled in all directions, but the withered plants in the flower-stricken area could not plunder enough vitality and died one after another. As for now, they are all bare... …It should be integrated into the earth.”

Ian sighed.

"People always feel that the earth can accommodate everything."

Heine: "So isn't it?"

"I do not know."

Ian stared at the dark soil under his feet, and then looked at the distorted sky in the distance.

"But I don't think it's that simple."

...

From beginning to end, Ian didn't notice that the two-person party had turned into a three-person party, and it was the same when they returned to the airship.

No one noticed anything strange until the magic tent was set up again and Heine brought Teacher Xia back to the room.

Simon was initially shocked by the appearance of Teacher Xia, but then he was relieved and happily greeted "Dear Xia".

He worked with Teacher Xia for a period of time in the Zanluo Plateau, and the two were considered old partners.

"By the way, sir." Simon said, "I think something is not quite right."

Heine: "What's wrong?"

Simon hesitated for a few seconds, and then said as if he had made up his mind:
"Let me declare first that I am absolutely loyal to McCalla, to the lord, and to you. This..."

"Okay, you are also a person with a name, so there is no need to say this." Heine waved his hand: "Let's just get to the point."

"Yes."

Simon nodded and said: "Throughout the whole day today, I have ten times more thoughts of 'rebellion' than before..."

Listening to his story, Heine's face gradually became serious.

……

The "apprentice" sits in the sterilization room.

In front of him was a slightly chilly white light, which stung his eyes.

His brain was in a trance, and the stinging pain of mental exhaustion was like a needle prick, causing his body to convulse slightly.

At the same time, a burning pain was emerging throughout his body.

These days, he's been "cleaning" the Power Stone at Collins' request.

Although the airship is pulled by pilots, the Harmonic Instrument is slowly consuming everyone's mental energy.

But there are still some magic instruments that require the use of charging stones.

There are two types of charging stones on the airship, one is pale, and the other is slightly softer in color after cleaning.

He is responsible for the former.

He needs to stay in a closed dark room and wrap those charging stones with his own perception.

Although this would make his thoughts confused, as if he had a bizarre nightmare.

In the dream, someone was tied hand and foot to the operating table, and screams were heard one after another next to him. The blurred purple light enveloped his head, as if something was being taken away from it.

Someone's head was uncovered, and what was inside was not brains, but a wriggling transparent octopus.

Some people even had magic wands pressed against their heads by several people in white robes, and the turbid smoke was directly extracted from them...

These people died in various ways, but without exception they were full of despair and pain.

His nightmare was to feel them and wake up from the dream when his mental energy was exhausted.

At this point the "cleaning" is over.

The glow of the Charged Stone is slightly muted, and while it still emits a chill, it's nowhere near as repulsive as it originally was.

There is obviously a price to pay for this.

After each work, he would come to the disinfection room, soak in the white light, and feel the burning pain.

Every time at this time, he could feel a part of himself being burned, falling off, turning into dust and disappearing.

His memory also became blurry, as if he was forgetting something.

But this time it was different from before. After the burning sensation reached its limit, he suddenly stopped feeling pain.

The pain seemed to go away in an instant, and he felt that his body was light and airy.

It was as if he too had become part of the white light.

He came to the ceiling, saw himself sitting quietly, and saw the small house.

He didn't notice anything wrong with this scene, he was still floating upwards.

He flew out of the disinfection room and found himself in deep darkness.

In the darkness, the glowing enclosed spaces looked like a row of square lamps, and he was the flying insect that was attracted to them.

He couldn't help but move closer to the nearest one.

As he got closer, an extremely clear voice came out across the space.

"Why...why did he gain the favor of the attendant just by looking at him?"
