Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 324 Resting in the Forest
The former site of the burial ground.

Since that disaster, there has never been a visitor to this inaccessible place.

Perhaps only the two survivors would think of revisiting their old place.

Heine and Siara walked up the hillside to the west of the burial ground, sat on a stone, and looked into the distance.

The deep pit of the river pond that was evaporated is like a blackened scar, but after being covered by rain and snow and moistened for more than half a year, it has become slightly green again in early spring in March.

"It's rare to have time to relax, but I dragged you here. Wouldn't you have any objections?" Siara asked.

"Of course I don't have any objection. It's the same thing wherever you go."

Heine smiled.

After returning from the east, he did not rush back to the Lord's Mansion, but spent half a day with Siara.

Indeed, as she said, it was rare for her to have time to relax.

As a rookie teacher, her way of teaching was to read from the notes she had taken.

"the first lesson……"

As the last shackles in his heart were released, his tense nerves that had been tense since the arrival of the player finally relaxed completely, and he fell into a soft embrace and fell into a deep sleep.

"This reminds me of that reunion at the manor. I mentioned steamed buns and wontons, and your face turned pale because of nervousness."

So, after listening to it for five minutes, he slapped his ass and left.

Heine: "Hmm... Come to think of it, I don't seem to be very polite."

“But what surprises me more is that you’re wary of them.

"You have said before that 'slang' is an informal and stereotyped spoken expression, so you can tell from my expression that I am not a native of McCalla. In addition, many of his remarks while in Vilitas His behavior showed his position, and I couldn't help but start thinking about your relationship. It wasn't until I learned that he was the undead you summoned that I suddenly understood."

Siara: "That's the point. When I found you, I found you making steamed buns, so I took a bite. It turned out to be the spicy steamed buns you specially made, so I threw them on the ground - I still remember what you said at the time What?"

...

The other person also stared at him, his smile calm and beautiful, but with a hint of success.

too suddenly.

Siara: “Do you still remember the first lesson I gave you?”

He later learned that it was Siara’s first formal class as a teacher.

boom--

For a moment, there was a slight buzzing in Heine's ears, as if his whole body had been hit hard on the temple with a heavy hammer.

Heine was slightly in a trance.

Ah this...

Heine curled his lips and said, "No wonder you came directly to my dormitory on that prayer day. It turned out to be a test result."

He stared directly at Siara.

He may even think about how to silence him.

He thought it was a waste of precious time.

Hearing what he said, Siara pursed her lips and smiled.

But facing this face and the gentle gaze in her eyes, Heine only felt relaxed.

If someone else had said this, Heine would probably be nervous and sweating profusely by now.

Was it so exposed?
"Of course, your similarities don't end there."

"I noticed an interesting detail. When your magical undead are present, you will be extra careful when speaking, as if you are afraid of revealing your specialness.

Heine said blankly: "Where do I remember this? It was probably...'Waste is shameful'?"

"Yeah, I almost went to the principal to complain against you." Siara smiled and said with emotion: "You will never attend my class for the next month, and I almost forgot about you as a problem student, but It wasn’t until you got full marks on that test that I realized you were not that simple.”

Siara continued: "You were a very interesting little adult when you were in college. You often used some weird words - such as 'skipping class', 'pressing the road', 'failing', etc., combinations of these words It's novel, and I couldn't understand it when I first came across it, but after the explanation, I felt it was appropriate and vivid. I also heard a similar combination from Naga.

Siara: "Yes, you also said, 'You can still eat it if you pick it up within three seconds after it falls on the ground.' I have never heard such a novel statement before, and this is not McCalla's slang, but then I learned from Na Garner heard almost the same statement.”

At that time, Heine had just come into contact with extraordinary knowledge, and he wished he could split a second into two petals, becoming a complete scroll king.

Suddenly, she asked: "Are you and your undead the same kind of people?"

Siara stopped her soothing spell, hugged him, and gently stroked his fluffy blond hair.

Although she said this in a gentle voice, every word was precise.

At this point, she paused slightly and changed the subject.

Sure enough, there are some things that you can't hide from the people closest to you.

Heine did not refute, but asked: "Why do you say that?"

After dealing with the chain of forgiveness, he took advantage of this time to fill in Siara's stories other than the trip to Yati Town, including the development of the territory during this period.

Before, her function was more like a psychological counselor, occasionally purifying those unlucky ghosts who were haunted by wandering spirits.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, you must have been having a hard time during this period..."

When Heine woke up, he felt relaxed all over, as if he had also taken a bath in the fish pond.

Only at this time will he notice a hint of fear——

If the nerves continue to be tense, they will eventually break, right?
"Are you awake?" Siara asked.

"woke up."

Heine looked away from the sky and sat up from her lap.

At this time, the sun was setting and the chill was coming.

Although it has no effect on Heine, who has a physique close to that of a fourth-level warrior, the time has come.

"Are you leaving?" Heine asked.

"Yeah." Siara nodded.

She is about to return to Godero City to receive her promotion.

She will go to a higher-level city and gain greater say.

Just like her mentor Catherine back then.

This is naturally very dangerous, but the help it can provide Heine will also increase.

Take the incident in Yati Town half a month ago as an example. Without the network of relationships in Godero City, this incident would not have been possible at all.

Now, McCalla is about to cooperate with the Shadow Temple, and her role is self-evident.

Heine thought about persuading her, but he also knew that she would not be able to stay with him in McCalla, so he did not do so.

Sometimes being too tacit is not a good thing.

Instead of going through the process, it’s better to look forward to the next time we meet.

As for that question...

No answer is the best answer.

"Then let's go."

Heine summoned the ghost horse and stretched out his hand to Shia.

The latter got on his horse with a smile, and the two rode together all the way west to the north intersection.

Siara's two attendants, Shadow and Ya, are waiting for her at the intersection.

The attendant's valet is also a position dedicated to life, although in principle they are loyal to the Shadow Temple first and then to the attendant.

But actually it's always the other way around.

So there was no need to worry about them leaking what they saw during this trip, not to mention they didn't see anything blasphemous.

——At least no one in Heine’s territory painted a trophy on the statue of Ms. Deathspeaker...

But after landing, Heine couldn't help but joke:

"After you advance to level five, McCalla will no longer welcome you."

Teeth showed an awkward smile.

Watching the carriage heading north and completely disappearing from sight, Heine felt a sense of loss.

He rubbed his face and calmed himself down again.

Siara was right, he could only relax when he was alone with her.

At other times, I was nervous, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

He has been meditating instead of sleeping for half a year, partly to avoid talking in his sleep.

He also once asked himself, if they are all mixed up like this, can they show off their cards?

But the answer is the same every time.

Even if there was only a 0.01% chance of causing a rift in the relationship between the two parties, he couldn't afford to gamble.

In this case, it is better to play this role until the end of the world, until the end of the game.

After you clear the level, spread your hands again.

"I won't pretend anymore, my brother is from Earth too."

The thought of the joy of that scene filled him with strength.

……

When Heine returned to the Lord's Mansion, the two visitors had not yet left the other world.

However, Megumin found him immediately and relayed Renee's story.

"So it was her father who took Lou Dun to the Northland?"

Heine said in surprise.

"This is just a guess, but it won't be too far off." Megumin explained: "The currently known clues are: Her Highness Renee's father took a quarter of the ancestral tree roots to the Northland, and from his Judging from the situation of future generations, this is not regarded as disobedience and betrayal.

"So it's not difficult to judge that this is a means of self-rescue for the Mercury royal family. And besides the part of the root that was taken away by him, they should still have a section."

Heine's eyes widened when he heard this: "How many of the ancestral trees in Mourning Wood City are left?"

Megumin: "A conservative estimate is that there is still a quarter left, but I am more inclined to...none. The ancestral wood in Mourning City is probably just a fake, an illusion, and an empty shell.

"So I came up with another inference: that is, each of the elf families who fled the city took a part of Zumu with them.

“In other words, this may be compensation for the departure of the Silver People, or it may be the concession made by the Wood Elves in order to gain the right to rule the Mourning Wood Forest.

“And the bloody purge that the Sighing Wind family encountered after returning to the Mourning Wood Forest may have been a real betrayal.

"The Council of Elders found that sending away a group of compatriots could not alleviate the withering, so they broke the covenant and wanted to get the lost ancestral trees back. Unfortunately, they lost both their men and their wealth. Instead, they used the death of the Sighing Wind family to make other families see them clearly. This is how the Mercury Royal Family was established.”

Heine strongly suspected that this was the standard answer. Even if it wasn't, it was not far from the answer.

He remembered Zhuoyang saying that there was a task of "restoring historical collections" in Mingmu Valley, and many of the contents had been tampered with.

Originally, he thought it was the intervention of people from Eternal Dawn, or the work of people from Velitas.

Now it seems that the elf himself has a lot of troubles.

"If that's the case..." Heine held his chin and thought: "Then the possibility of us cooperating with the Mercurial Royal Family is very high. Has Her Royal Highness the Queen's opinion of us changed?"

"of course."

Huihui couldn't help but smile: "Not only has she changed her mind, she now firmly believes that only we can save the future of the elves... And there is also good news. Mr. Dylan has made a new discovery, which is definitely more beneficial to us. Negotiate with the Mercury Royal Family."

Heine was stunned: "What did Dylan find?"

Megumin: "He improved the art of transformation, making the Tree Shepherd's School of Transformation truly a self-consistent school!"
