Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 414 He still has to thank us

Although the three players wanted to explore this place thoroughly, this behavior of scraping the ground was obviously not appropriate, so they had no choice but to follow them to the living room.

Although the host and guest talked happily, under the friendly surface, the temptation between the two sides never stopped.

Issyk wanted to know what his Highness had been through in the six months since the disaster and why he had come here.

Renee, on the other hand, wanted to ask about the big tree outside the castle that anyone with a discerning eye could tell was wrong.

And, the excessively “natural” ecological decoration in this manor.

Especially when you come to the living room, whether it is the grass-scented soil under everyone's feet or the vines on the ceiling, they all exude an incredible breath of life.

Is this right?
Of course this is not right!
Why is it that your home is so full of life when everything is lifeless outside?

As an elf who had stayed in McCalla for three months, Renee could now easily tell the difference between the two.

But this also puzzled her even more - if this was what Issek had done, then he would have mastered the method to solve the blight.

Renee: "This is..."

Even if it doesn't solve everything, it can at least improve it.

The ugly scar stretched from the top of his head to just below his neck, hidden by his collar.

"...The magic network should have been paralyzed when His Highness left Velitas. I'm afraid he suffered a lot along the way, right?"

"Is this okay?" Gould asked with a smile.

Issek immediately and heartbrokenly told the story of several paladins fighting in the city, tracking down the necromancer, and then people in the city being controlled by strange beasts one after another.

"It's just some unspeakable family ills."

The guest of honor sat down, and after some more useless polite words, a man covered in a black hood came in from the side door and stood behind Issyk.

Taking advantage of the third princess's delay, the three people quickly discussed the plan:

Megumin: "Both of them are old foxes. They can't say anything in front of them. It's better to go back and generate a copy and type it again."

Renee's thoughts raced - this Mr. Gould gave her a bad feeling.

Renee was also shocked.

As he spoke, he took off his hood, revealing a head that looked like a dehydrated braised egg and the surface of the moon.

"I just look terrible, and I'm worried about scaring His Highness... Since you insist on seeing..."

"Nothing, it's my honor to satisfy your curiosity."

Megumin: "Hiss...he is like the son of Deadpool and Voldemort."

"Gould was first hit by the necromancy spell, and then hit the holy fire head-on. Fortunately, my tree shepherd consultants included healers from the Dream School, and we were able to save him."

Mr. Sa: "This guy looks so unique, he must be new, right?"

Zhu Sheep: "I also think that if it were before, you wouldn't have given him a name."

However, the master and servant exchanged glances, and instead of refusing, Gould forced out a hoarse laugh.

It's like a blocked window that only needs a few nails to be hammered in.

After he finished speaking, he changed the subject without leaving a trace.

The picture frame was made of fine Aldes wood, but there was no inlay painting inside. Instead, the wall was hastily blocked up with parchment scrolls.

"yes……"

"What was this place originally?" she asked curiously.

"I don't know what kind of disease it is?" She asked pretending to be curious, and she was ready with the excuse for the other party's rejection.

It’s not easy for Renee to ask too many questions.

While showing an admiring look, Renee cast her gaze on a bare picture frame.

There's an ugly "X" stuck in the expensive frame.

"Your Highness, you don't know something. This matter goes back more than a month ago..."

...

This is obviously unreasonable.

Renee calmed down and apologized: "I'm very sorry. I don't know how Mr. Gould's injury was caused?"

But the city of Nebula has always been unknown in the past, and its city owner is just an unknown person among the elven nobles.

Renee sighed and began to tell the story she had made up along the way.

There is not a hair on his head, no eyebrows, beard, nose hair... He doesn't even have a nose!

"My staff, Mr. Gould." Isek introduced: "He suffers from a skin disease, so he cannot show his true face. Please forgive me."

Zhu Sheep: "You are definitely influenced by Anala. The sinister sister in the past would not be able to say such things."

Issik waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say more.

"Feel sorry……"

Guld pulled up his hood and continued to stand quietly behind Issek.

Megumin: "? Was I so cowardly before?"

Mr. Sa: "How are you talking? Is it that my sister Hui is cowardly? That is cautious! Cautious!"

Megumin: "Don't be impatient. Ask the agents in the city if they have any clues about Gould and Isek, and then compile the update patch. I think this trip is over."

Mr. Sa: “Okay!”

Lavan had previously told Berio's location in the communication, so the three of them knew that the latter was blocked in the wall.

However, Ravan did not tell them how "smart" the tree was.

So as Mr. Sa sent the communication request to Berio, before he could think about how to "pay the phone bill", he heard a "puff" sound.

A branch pierced the parchment and came out of the frame.

"Hello you guys!"

Berio excitedly greeted the two skeletons.

He couldn't explain why, but he felt that the two of them were very close.

He is kinder than the sweet and bright brother before!
This is a surprise to it, but it is pure shock to others!

Renee exclaimed instantly, and four guards, including Caleas, immediately protected her in the middle.

Issek and Gould were both shocked before they had time to feel nervous about the change——

The branches are shaking desperately at Mr. Sa and Zhuyang!

The leaves and fruits above were clattering as if they were being electrocuted.

Under the quiet surface, Berio shouted excitedly:

"Why don't you say anything? Please pay attention to me. Don't you want me to help you convey the message? I'm very familiar with it!"

Mr. Sa: "Doesn't it have the function of...saving historical records? Didn't it recognize that we were the party that just received the information?"

Zhu Sheep: "You shouldn't think about this now, right? The city lord's expression is not right. Is he already counting down?"

Issik's expression was indeed strange.

Surprised, gloomy, hesitant, and even moving in a dangerous direction.

The phenomenon he had originally hoped would happen to Lavan happened at this moment.

but……

Why now?

The atmosphere was strangely stagnant, like a powder keg ready to explode, and a battle could break out at any time.

At the critical moment, Huihui stood up!
I saw the silver wings on her back flapping lightly, and her whole body moved close to the wall like a gust of wind, forcefully pushing the branches back, and then smoothed the parchment.

"I didn't expect there was a curse here."

She said it calmly, acting like a fierce female warrior who didn't say much.

However, in reality, Berio is being warned secretly:

"Hold back obediently! Don't come out, otherwise I will drag you out, burn you to ashes, and scatter them into the sea!"

Berio had no choice but to shrink back aggrievedly.

The atmosphere relaxed a lot because of her action, and Issek also looked surprised and said:
"this……"

"Her name is Anara," Renee added.

"Ms. Anara, have you seen this curse?" Isek asked, with even a hint of expectation in his tone.

"Yes, I've seen it."

Megumin nodded.

Mr. Sa: "What's going on, Sister Hui? Why is it a curse?"

Megumin: "I suddenly remembered that it was like what was written in "Liao Zhai". A beautiful man was out of place in the great Rakshasa country where ugliness was respected, and was even regarded as a monster. So the 'vitality' shown by Berio For an elf like Issek, does it also mean that he is alien? "In his opinion, the corpse-like giant tree outside the castle is the real 'force of nature', and this section is from the wall. The branches that popped out could only be dirt, so they had to be covered up so that the Third Princess wouldn't see them. Now that the dirty thing has taken the initiative to find us, it is natural that we have to distance ourselves from each other. "

Catching Sheep: "Are the elves so prejudiced? Can't they even distinguish between the most basic life and withering?"

Huihui: “I used to think so too, but after reading through the memories of several aborigines, I realized that it is their normal state to know and understand what is right, but to make completely opposite choices based on personal likes and dislikes... …It’s like cheating to be able to combine knowledge and action like the people of McCalla.”

While the three of them were talking, Issek had already exchanged glances with Gould.

Although Gould was trying to persuade the former not to act rashly, Issek couldn't bear it anymore.

His attitude was very resolute and he took the initiative to walk up to Renee:
"Your Highness, could you please let me talk to this lady Anara?"

"If she wishes, but please remain graceful."

Renee wished he would say that, but she still smiled very reservedly.

She is not Heine, and she will only feel endless pressure when staying with players.

Because no one knows what the players will do or say in the next second, or how bizarre things will happen to them - just like just now.

Why does a branch suddenly go crazy towards two skeletons?

Issek strode up to Anala without caring about Gould's glaring gaze.

"Madam, can you tell us more about this 'curse'?"

Megumin looked to Renee for advice, and after receiving the latter's permission, she crossed her arms and spoke slowly:
"Of course, this is actually a mutated force of nature..."

She re-translated blight using the academic terms of the Velitas people, pretending to be very knowledgeable while writing perfunctorily to Berio behind his back:

"Berio, why are you locked up?"

Berio said honestly: "The people here don't seem to like me. As long as there are guests, they will seal me up. As long as I stick out, they will cut off my body. So after a long time, I understand You cannot probe anywhere that is sealed with parchment."

Megumin: "Then why didn't you hold back this time?"

Berio: "You are here! You are shining friends!"

Huihui was speechless. It was really difficult to communicate with this guy.

"So where are the frames?" she asked.

Berio: "The living room, the study, the cellar. Oh yes, there is also a corridor leading to the meditation room. There are picture frames all the way. He couldn't stop me, so he simply blocked it all, even the lights. None."

Megumin thought thoughtfully: "So you are bound by Aldesmu?"

Berio: "Oh my god you're so smart! How do you know that?"

Megumin: "Don't worry so much, have you been active recently? I mean, have you appeared under his nose a lot?"

Berio: "Yes, more than before, because I feel like I am slowly getting smarter and stronger, as if something great is coming from the west! That's right, are you from there?"

West?

Huihui's heart moved.

It was indeed McCalla's influence.

Although it is not yet known what happened to Berio, what is certain is that its existence had a great impact on Issek, so much so that he had to use Aldes wood, a material for making staffs. The purpose of making a "portable magic circle" is to seal the opponent in a specific area.

Normally, he would not attack Berio who poked his head out.

But on this occasion of receiving distinguished guests, the two parties reached a tacit understanding.

This kind of tacit understanding is really... sad.

After getting enough information, Huihui looked around deliberately, frowned slightly, and pretended to say something casually:

"...Speaking of which, the curse here must have become more 'active' recently, right?"

"This……"

Issik was shocked!
He immediately looked at Gould and found that the latter also looked horrified.

Both of them were surprised - how did she know! ?

"You...how did you know?"

Issyk asked, unable to help using honorifics.

"Because the power from the void is nourishing it, just like what happened in my hometown."

Megumin pretended to sigh: "You seem to have used some means to restrict its activities within a certain range, but this cannot effectively weaken it, but instead makes its power more concentrated..."

She looked at the two skeletons and said: "As for the strangeness just now, it is a manifestation of this 'concentration'. It smelled the strong soul power of my companions and couldn't help but want to take it as its own. This shows that it His perception and desire for power have reached a level that Aldesmu cannot suppress."

Huihui was talking nonsense, but Issek was stunned for a moment.

exactly!
He has long discovered that the evil branches are like whack-a-mole. The more areas he seals, the stronger the opponent will show up.

It turned out that the power hidden deep in the depths was driven to other places by him...

only……

Issek frowned and looked at the two skeletons.

Why do these two guards exude soul power that makes this cursed creature coveted?

Megumin: "Why are you standing there, take off your hood!"

Mr. Sa: "Take it off, I'll take it off right now!"

Zhu Sheep: "It's broken, Sister Hui is really happy this time..."

The two puppets reluctantly took off their hoods, revealing two dazzling soul fires, one green and one gold.

"Undead creatures!?"

Issik’s expression is even more exciting!
"No, no, these are not undead creatures. They don't have any death energy on their bodies. Instead, they are pure wind and holy light... How is this done?"

"This is a new kind of soul fire, a new thing made by the damn Yankees after they stole the spirits of our ancestors."

Megumin pretended to be disdainful and said: "The Nice people are a bunch of shameful thieves. The soul hunters stole, the attendants stole, and now they don't even let go of our ancestors' spirits!"

Issik suddenly realized it, and at the same time he was convinced of it.

He also shared the same hatred: "Yes, they still call themselves snow elves, which is really disgusting."

Unknowingly, he was already impressed by this Zanluo man who was as strong as himself.

This was no savage, but a learned lady.

Huihui asked at the right time: "But I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it?"

Issyk: "Please speak."

Megumin: "According to my understanding, such a powerful and active curse does not have only such a sealing window... Its body must be extremely large, and it requires a lot of power to seal it.

"But we didn't see any other magic circles made by Aldesmu along the way just now... If you can let me have a look, I might be able to find a way to help you control it better."

"You are truly a rigorous scholar!"

Issik couldn't help but admire, and at the same time felt a little guilty.

"To be honest, its body is indeed very large, so I can only seal it below. Please take a rest here, and I will have someone open the lock below and take you to see the complete seal."

He turned around in a hurry and took Gould with him.

Watching the two of them walk away, Zhuoyang couldn't help but sigh: "I admire you. I really don't accept it. Is this the hard power of the plot party? It's terrible."

Mr. Sa: “It’s really an honor for me, Mr. Sa, to be mentioned by Sister Hui!”

Hui Hui: "Stop licking, quickly find Berio and contact other people to find out the origin of Gould."

...

In the corridor, Gould suddenly stopped.

"Sir, do you really want to take her down there?"

Issek frowned: "Why, can't you?"

Gould was at a loss for words, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "She is a Zanluo person, and those two are also undead. This is not safe..."

Issik: "Dear Gould, why did you seem to be a changed person after that incident? Are you scared to death? You were not like this before. You are braver than me. More reckless than me."

Gould said indifferently: "If you had gone through this like me, you would be so cautious."

With him being so negative, Issek sighed and said helplessly: "Believe me, Gould, I will never make a mistake. That Ms. Anara's understanding of the curse is definitely better than ours. She can't be Ordinary Zanluo people.

"Do you still remember the professor from the Institute of Truth who came here three years ago? That lady named Melvin Cummings. To be honest, I saw in Anara's eyes the same confidence and rigor as hers, This is the sense of belief that knowledge gives them.”

Seeing that he could not convince the other party, Gould had no choice but to nod.

"But my lord, how much do you intend for them to see?"

"All."

Issik said firmly: "I want to solve this problem once and for all, and I can't let it grow any longer."

Gould said nothing and followed him silently.

What the Lord City Lord didn't notice was that under the hood, a flash of ridicule and contempt flashed in the eyes of the staff.
