Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 457 Changes in the North

Saint-Sitin, Nigoleather.

Even though the chief was too short and liked to sit in high places, everyone had to crane their necks to talk to her, and few people could stand here with their heads held high and talk to Nikis.

The point is still this damn pressure.

As the spokesperson of God, she has an aura that makes mortals bow their heads involuntarily.

Except Veronica.

In addition to the fact that she is an eighth-level warlock, she is also the previous chief priest and mentor of Nikis, and is one of the key figures guarding the ruins of Delmines.

Although she aged rapidly after leaving office, and now had silver hair and wrinkles on her face, her back was still straight, and she was staring at Nikis with a pair of sapphire eyes.

"You are totally kidding! How can you trust two undead creatures whose origins you haven't even figured out? And you even created a whole new term for them, calling them 'Legend'. Do you know what that means?!"

"I have my own judgment, teacher."

There were only two people in the room, and Nikis rarely let go of her airs as the chief.

She sat on the high back of the chair, swinging her legs, totally oblivious to the old man in front of her who was as angry as a white lioness.

"On the contrary, you, Buzina has not returned yet, and you left Delmines. What if the evil spirit there escapes? Nigelaiser can't stand a second terrible sneak attack."

"Don't change the subject, Nikis. Don't think I didn't notice the belt-shaped detection network you set up around Niggles. Evil spirits can't penetrate here at all."

"Really?" Nikis showed a cunning smile, showing that her plan had succeeded. "But what if I tell you that the two undead creatures passed through the belt detection network without anyone noticing?"

Veronica immediately frowned and said, “This is impossible!”

"I don't need to lie to you, teacher. They did pass with the strength of only level 6 and level 5. And the one at level 6 has a transformation skill that even Buzina was shocked by. This is why she was willing to abandon Delmines and go to Macara herself."

Veronica's expression changed slightly.

"But if they were able to infiltrate here, how did you find out?"

"Because I guessed they would come that day." Nikis said, "I controlled a dark blood bat to squat right above Nigelather all day, and finally when I was about to fall asleep, I witnessed them using a nearly acrobatic method to perfectly pass through the belt detection network.

“There are some details that I still don’t fully understand, just like I don’t understand where their spellcasting skills come from.

"Even I, who designed the detection network myself, cannot achieve such perfection. In my opinion, only after countless rehearsals can one achieve this level... So do you still think they are just ordinary undead?"

Veronica pursed her lips. Although there was still anger in her eyes, it was gradually fading.

"Then you have to investigate this matter, such as extracting their soul fire and finding the secret hidden in it. Even if you can't find it, you have to prevent them from becoming slaves of false gods instead of messing around like this!"

"Your desire for control is still so strong, teacher."

Nikis said helplessly: "I don't want to get into a big fight every time I modify the program. I don't want to see a tragedy like Buzzina happen again."

When Buzzina was mentioned, a trace of sadness flashed across Veronica's face.

This Buchina is not the Buchina who turned into a dragon, but a former servant.

In her time, Veronica was the chief priestess, and the servants at that time were synonymous with absolute conservatism and oppression.

They are not allowed to open their hearts to anyone other than the Death Speaker Lady, and physical chastity is strictly required.

The servants are the spiritual totems of a region, so this twisted, painful and repressed emotion affects every city in the north like a brand.

People affected by it not only suppress themselves painfully, but also denounce all unclean and dirty desires in a self-abuse manner, and torture each other with red eyes.

As Veronica's student, Buzina naturally received the highest level of attention.

So, even though her mentor had allowed her to leave with her lover, Mr. Pump, after she stepped down, the latter was sent to the street and burned alive by the boiling mob late one night because he had corrupted the holy servant.

Dissatisfaction with the procedure eventually turned into a flame, igniting desire and burning Buzina's reason.

The corrupted Buzina not only caused casualties in half of the city, but also affected the ruins of Delmines, causing the souls there to devour and merge with each other, transforming into a behemoth that invaded Nigolais.

The matter was finally resolved with the secret intervention of a giant dragon. Dragon Island also allowed a newly-adult female dragon to purify and merge Buchina's soul, and from then on had her appearance.

This is also the reason why Buzina stayed in the North.

Because of the integration of Buzina, emotionally speaking, the Northland is also her second home.

The impact of this incident is not just that the temple and the people tacitly approved of the servants finding lovers.

It has also changed the conservative atmosphere in the North to a certain extent.

To this day, many women in the north only talk to their husbands after marriage, and have to rely on their husbands to convey messages when facing outsiders. This is a tradition left over from that time.

Of course, it also indirectly led to Veronica's resignation.

The departure of every chief priest is accompanied by intense self-reflection and guilt, and she is no exception.

Veronica seemed to be reminded of this incident and was a little depressed.

But she was finally convinced.

"I got some feedback from the people," the old woman said. "Rumors about the dead are spreading everywhere, and it seems you are not going to deal with it."

"People have an answer in their hearts, or they expect something to happen. Even if the temple does not guide them, they will think so. What we need to do is not to stop them, but to make a final decision when the time is right."

Nikis explained: "In this way, a mild reform has come to an end. In Fyodor's words, times are changing, and we should adapt to the changes instead of always remaining the same."

Staring blankly at her former apprentice, Veronica felt mixed emotions.

"Nickys, you seem to be more deeply bound to the 'chain'."

Nikis was slightly stunned: "Really?"

"You used to be like a pufferfish that could get angry at any time. Words like 'gentle' and 'change' would never come out of your mouth."

Veronica said with emotion and a complicated expression: "But now, you speak these words very clearly, and you seem to have really changed."

She didn't continue because she didn't know whether it was good or bad.

The chief priest is a collection of servants, and her emotions to some extent represent the group portrait of Shadow believers.

In the past, she was stubborn, conservative, extreme and irritable.

Now it is gradually developing in the direction of flexibility and adaptability.

She couldn't say it was a bad thing, but it was definitely not entirely a good thing.

On the one hand, it illustrates how the entire Northland is changing—seemingly simply because of contact with Macalla.

The latter is like a catfish, revitalizing this stagnant pool of water in the north.

On the other hand, Nikis was not like this before.

She was a stubborn and determined girl.

She couldn't tell whether this was Nikis's growth or she was forced to grow up.

"There have been changes after all, haven't there?"

Nikis replied, with no joy or sadness on her face.

"So what are you going to do with Gittielle from McCalla?" Veronica asked.

"You shouldn't ask me this, but ask our Gittier." Nikis curled her lips and said, "As long as I don't trap that guy, he will definitely hold lectures one after another with the help of the Gittiers and accelerate the reform, so I can only lock him up."

Veronica also looked a bit troubled when it came to the Gittiers in the temple.

"But what if someone from Macara comes? I came to ask you for Buzzina. Something happened to Delmines, but you said she also went to Macara. If we need to negotiate with the Macara people, then..."

"No one has arrived yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Nikis said nonchalantly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Nikis's expression changed. Could it be that...

After letting the maid in, she stared at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Feodor requests an audience."

Nikis breathed a sigh of relief: "Let him in."

Not long after, the seventh-level warlock Feodor walked in.

He first bowed to the chief and the former chief, then said, "Sir, according to reliable information, Mr. Heine, the staff member from Macara, arrived in Godro City yesterday, and one of the two legends, Mr. Da Huang, has gone to pick him up. Considering that the establishment of the 'Strange Beast Research Institute' requires the cooperation of the legendary Mr. V, I would like to ask whether we should be prepared to meet and negotiate with him?"

The corners of Nikis' mouth twitched a few times.

"Get ready."

……

At noon that day, Da Huang carried Wei Dianyuan all the way to Godro City at lightning speed.

Da Huang: "You're just running away like this, aren't you afraid of losing your reputation?"

Wei Dianyuan: "Don't be afraid, brother, I'm a master of skills now, they are licking me, why should I lose reputation? Besides, we are going to pick up Heine, we have to be careful, I have to make it clear to him that Dylan's matter has nothing to do with us! Also, let him help me level up to level 6, I should have accumulated a lot of combat experience, this is my exclusive experience, don't let him explode."

Da Huang: "What, there is combat experience? How come I don't know about it?"

Wei Dianyuan: "You'd be surprised if you knew that. It's the experience gained by educating NPCs to upgrade their skills. Are you going to Dragon Island to teach Transfiguration?"

Da Huang: "Fuck, I'm so jealous. You're giving a lecture in a theater, and the audience are all level 5 to 7 warlocks. They should have a lot of combat experience to upgrade their skills, right?"

Wei Dianyuan: "Of course not. This thing is linked to the change of skill level. I'm waiting for this!"

The message was sent by Ciara, who contacted Andre, who then passed it on to Da Huang.

Thanks to the special connection between the two, Da Huang easily located and connected with Heine.

Watching the latter kiss Siara goodbye, Da Huang couldn’t help but utter the elegant voice of the capital:

"Fuck, this young man is so brave!"

Compared to him, Wei Dian Yuan was more concerned about the sight of the surrounding NPCs.

What surprised him was that, unlike the NPCs in Godro City in the game, they would make sharp comments such as "shameful", "improper" and "debauched" when players hugged, held hands and kissed in the street.

The indigenous people today are actually clapping and cheering, and even whistling...

Why are the natives of Godro City so open-minded?

Is it because of Heine’s special status, or is the city changing?
When Heine sat in the floating city and was about to speak, Da Huang suddenly said:
"Please hold on tight, I'm about to transform!"

"What? Shit—"

Amid Heine's exclamation, the interior decoration of Dahuang was instantly transformed.

In the past, there were wooden stools that hurt your butt, but now they have been replaced with soft leather sofas. Next to them are mahogany tables, chairs and cabinets, and there is even red wine on the table.

The middle area was surrounded by a windproof barrier to prevent the strong wind from the terrace from ruining this beautiful scene.

As he accelerated, the shell gradually became transparent.

This is obviously the case after a new module is loaded. Combined with the interior decoration, it is not difficult to judge that Dahuang has learned a new skill.

Maybe it has something to do with the "Void Bag" he brought with him, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the extra things he had.

Heine couldn't help but ask: "Da Huang, what did you do?"

Da Huang: "As you can see, I have made a series of necessary equipment updates, which will help improve the passenger experience. Of course, you may have to be prepared to pay for me."

Heine fell silent for a moment.

Da Huang: "Haha, just tell me how awesome this surprise was! He must have been scared! Look, his lips are all white, hahaha!"

Wei Dian Yuan: "Boss Yu, you are the one who makes me happy!"

...

Your fucking dogs...

Heine complained in his heart and finally sighed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked these things before, and McCla couldn't satisfy your needs... It really makes you suffer to follow me."

...

Dahuang's laughter stopped abruptly.

It was replaced by the Northeastern people's laughter.

"I'll let you show off! Ouch, now slap yourself in the face!"

...

Da Huang: "This is an immature joke. These things are all from generous sponsors. McCalla doesn't need to pay any extra money, and you don't need to feel guilty. My pursuit has always been stronger hardware parameters and faster speeds. These are just meaningless decorations."

"Really?" Heine pretended to be puzzled: "Are you trying to comfort me?"

...

Da Huang: "Damn, I've never been so attentive when coaxing my sister!"

"This is of course my true personal feeling. I think you are a wise leader."

"That's why you can safely throw this trouble of Buzina to me." Heine said helplessly.

"No, she's not a problem. Based on my data, I think you prefer mature women like this."

"That's true, but there's no room for another woman in my heart." Heine joked, "Not to mention she's a dragon."

"I hope she didn't cause you any trouble."

"It's not a problem. On the contrary, she helped a lot. Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about you. I saw the news about Transfiguration in the newspaper of Nibra City. Buzina said that Dylan was locked up. What good things have you done here?"

Although Ciara told him part of it, as usual, he still had to communicate with the players and look at the problem from a more comprehensive perspective.

As he said this, he threw all his cold and hot experiences to Wei Dianyuan, allowing him to reach level six.

Most of it is the combat experience that this guy has been providing recently.

Teacher Xia had been upgraded before, and now, except for Duoduo who was far away in Veritas, all the players had reached level six.

“Here’s what happened.”

Wei Dianyuan took over the conversation and began to tell about their experiences during this period.

Even though Heine had expected this, he remained silent after hearing it.

My goodness, if this were made into a replica, it could be used to make a TV series...

"The Necromancer's Speech", "The Armory Heist", "The Underworld of Helgeland City", "The Famous V and His Intelligent Vehicle".

And the highlight "It's over, I sneaked into Nigolese and was caught by a bad woman."

"We were just unlucky to meet the chief priest that day, otherwise we wouldn't have been caught."

Wei Dian Yuan concluded.

"Perhaps she was just waiting for you." Heine said, "Don't you think the process of becoming a 'legend' was too smooth? Rather than saying that you turned the tide, it's better to say that you performed a play under the watchful eyes and acquiescence of the spokesperson. There was no rehearsal or discussion, everything was improvised, but the result was already determined."

Both of them were stunned.

Da Huang: "Fuck, is this possible? The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case. We have been tricked by the bad woman!"

Wei Dianyuan: "I thought the bad woman hadn't evolved yet, why did she start to become bad now?"

Da Huang couldn't help but ask: "When did she become bad?"

Wei Dian Yuan: "I thought you knew..."

Da Huang: "I used to think she was called a bad woman because of the dark color scheme. How exciting."

Wei Dianyuan: "You are really good at thinking... Let me think, it seems that after the Void Disaster ended, when the Eternal Dawn was separated, the soul storm swept through Nigolaiser, and a lot of NPCs died, including Andre. After that, the thinking of these NPCs was not right. At that time, the closer to Saint Xiting, the more tasks of "eliminating traitors" there were, and all the people killed were rebellious believers.

"When the Black Vortex incident broke out, Shadow Temple was completely rotten, and the bad women started to become perverted, opening up all kinds of strange beasts, necromancy spells, curses, and the like. Then the highlight came! The epic nerf of Rift! The summoned strange beast has a 30% chance to devour its master, but the bull ones don't have this debuff! Hahahaha, at that time, a lot of noobs were trying to score points by catching Rift in JJC. My buddy could catch Rift and burn these melee fighters fiercely. I won!"

The topic quickly went off track, and Brother Wei started bragging about his winning streak in the arena, completely ignoring the plot.

Sometimes Heine really wanted to get involved and tell him, "Stop bragging, brother, talk about something I want to hear, please."

Fortunately he held back.

However, this information was enough to basically confirm his, or Ciara's, guess.
