Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 472 Dragon Hunter

Coincidentally, these guests arrived in McCalla at about the same time.

But before receiving Her Highness Renee's "Observation Report on High-level Supernatural Beings Who Spontaneously Liberated Their Faith", Heine had already observed this phenomenon in Veronica.

Although the aunt swore to return to Macala with him under the influence of sedatives, the changes in the local people after arriving in Godro City had already dispelled Veronica's concerns.

Using color as an example, if my aunt is dark blue, she will be naturally averse to white and will become alert and anxious when she sees pure white.

Then, after seeing the city of Godro diluted from white to light blue, this vigilance turned into a trend of identification.

Once a trend is established, the subsequent purification becomes much milder.

Because McCullagh's "white" is not actually painted on, it is not a covering of faith.

It is a rinsing, a fading.

Eventually, a person's mind returns to its original state where it is not bound by faith.

In this case, she could have countless possibilities of faith, naturally including shadow.

Therefore, Veronica's acceptance of McCalla is the highest among these foreign players.

Tillemans came second.

After President Sa threw her to Saberia and Nobita who were in charge of reception, and ran off to have a short-distance flying race with Da Huang, the Windtalkers also completed the purification painlessly under the guidance of the Jungle Wind.

So the problem focused on Olaf.

His arrival went uncharacteristically smoothly.

As soon as Teacher Xia returned to McCalla, he submitted the task report to Loudon.

According to his description, Olaf never made a fuss during the entire journey and was so well-behaved that it seemed like a different person. This made Ian suspect that it was a side effect of the sedative, so he never gave him any sedatives later.

Later, Olaf remained well-behaved, even after entering Macala, as if he had no objection to coming here at all.

However, after seeing Buzina, he instantly went berserk.

Buzina wanted to use teleportation to send herself away, but something went wrong with the spell.

As a high-level spiritual technique, teleportation has strict requirements on the ability of the basic unit, the spirit.

The abilities of the elemental spirits are tied to the level of "collective education" of the local creatures.

For example, the mastery of the runic foundation of the Macara spirit depends on the runic foundation of the Macara people.

If Mackala's soul is an elementary school student, then the higher education-educated Dragon Island soul is more like a high school student.

So when the teleportation spell was used on Macara, the pupil's elemental spirit was not accurate enough, so Buzina teleported Olaf away along with herself.

If she can suppress the opponent, then there will be no problem in teleporting one more person.

But now the problem is...

She can't beat it.

Olaf's equipment seemed to be designed specifically for fighting dragons, especially intelligence dragons like Buzzina.

The latter initially wanted to hold back and not hurt McCalla's guests.

But later when he was suppressed by Olaf, he didn't care about these at all.

Fortunately, the two men fought in an open space on the western outskirts of Panshi Town, and no innocent people were affected.

As for being teleported to the proper western suburbs and rescued by Arthur, that was another emergency escape for Buzzina when she was desperate.

This time, Yuan Ling once again chose to teleport one man and one dragon simultaneously.

Heine noticed the anomaly when Buzina teleported for the first time.

Quirkus said someone was using a spell it didn't understand, but because the other party's authority was "higher than that of a visitor," it temporarily allowed it.

Although Heine made a decision immediately and rushed to the battlefield with the two people who were able to log in to the other world and Ian in the form of a soul, they still came up empty-handed and had to change routes halfway before reaching the destination of the second teleportation.

He could indeed revoke Buzzina's permission to use necromancy midway, but if he did that, Olaf would probably have already succeeded in slaying the dragon.

Buzina will also exist in Macala in the form of a soul at that time.

It seems that it is not a bad deal...

But considering that Quilkus was still young and shouldn't have seen how dark adults were so early, Heine ultimately did not choose to do so.

But he also has a way to cover for Buzina -

If Arthur and the player fail to stop Olaf, he will allow Quelkus to attack Olaf.

The latter's "faith pollution" is no worse than that of mainstream fanatics, so they will immediately fall into a coma.

But this is just a backup measure, and no one can guarantee that such a strong purification will not completely destroy Olaf's already not very bright brain.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Heine's players took action. Just as Zhuo Yang always trusted his brothers, Heine also trusted them.

...

Heine divided the reasons into several versions according to whether it could be said and whether it should be told, and explained them to everyone one by one.

What the brothers knew was naturally the complete version. Of course, it was mainly Huihui who was listening and explaining, and the brothers' attention was all on Olaf's fighting ability.

As a dragon hunter who has never hunted a dragon in his life, the name Olaf is often equated with "paper talk".

Even the book "Guan Long Bai Wen" which indeed provided countless information was jokingly called "Guan Long Bai Wen".

However, some players still conducted cyber battles based on the speculated Olaf template and skill list, and believed that he would have no problem confronting an adult dragon head-on, but every discussion would end with "What's the point of discussing a clown?"

Now the question has an answer.

can.

Quite capable!
But the question is, why did Heine say that?
By the time they returned to the lord's mansion, everything had been basically explained, and Heine and the others no longer used their soul bodies, but appeared in person.

Buzina finally asked this question.

"Why do you say he is a 'victim'?"

"I suppose you have also come into contact with Lakaz?" Heine asked.

"The dwarf craftsman who is said to be older than Senior Cayetano?" Buzina nodded. "Yes, I have had contact with him, but he doesn't seem to like me. Are you saying that Olaf's attitude towards me has something to do with him?"

"Well, that's okay. He treated you badly because..."

Heine looked at Mr. Sa.

Mr. Sa: “Why is he looking at us?”

Catching the Sheep: "It's because you broke Lakaz's defense."

...

"...In short, Lakaz believes that although dragon materials are excellent, they are difficult to control and mass-produce, and their lead over natural materials is not that great. There are even superior substitutes, so they cannot be considered 'unique top-level materials'. Similarly, whether or not a craftsman has used dragon materials cannot be used to judge whether he is good enough."

Heine explained: "At first we all thought that he was just saying the grapes were sour because he couldn't get them, but in later contacts, we gradually realized that... this was a consensus at the time."

"Consensus?" Buzina frowned slightly.

"Yes, consensus. As for the consensus of what era, we have no way of knowing. Because neither you, nor the databases of the Shadow Temple, the dwarves, and the elves know about it. The history that can be traced back is only after the Veritas people modified the ancient "Ten Thousand Year Clock Calendar", that is, in the past 773 years.

"Stories before this are all based on vague oral accounts by some undead souls, but they were also affected by various factors... I say this without any other meaning, but if Dragon Island can do something about it——"

"Impossible." Buzina flatly rejected him.

Although she herself did not know this history, it did not affect her rejection of Heine's request.

She would not break taboos on behalf of the other party.

"Okay, okay." Heine was not too disappointed and continued, "Going back to what we just said, what we can confirm is that the era of this 'consensus' was much earlier than 2600 years ago, because Sabella has no impression of it.

"In other words, the consensus that 'dragon material is top quality' has been gradually built up over the years, or more than 700 years to be exact."

Buqina frowned even more: "So this has something to do with Dragon Island——"

"It matters a lot." Heine interrupted her questioning: "No one can hunt dragons, and you also said that the dragon materials are traded by Dragon Island through the hands of the Veritas people. In other words, all the story marketing about 'dragons' is carried out by the Veritas people at the instruction of your Dragon Island.

"The story of the dragon slayer, the wealth of the dragon, the dragon's entire body is a treasure... All of these things make the price of dragon materials far greater than their value as materials. It is a luxury among forging materials, representing strength, wealth, and status."

The corners of Buzina's mouth twitched slightly.

She couldn't deny it.

"But what has all this got to do with Olaf?" she asked.

Heine sighed: "Thanks to this successful marketing, your materials are selling very well, and the wealth of Dragon Island must have been concentrated in this way. But also thanks to this marketing, the dwarf society has been seriously affected.

"The Veritas people made up touching stories for each batch of dragon materials, and while selling them at high prices, they created a series of non-existent 'wealth myths'.

“This has led to countless people yearning for this kind of overnight wealth to happen to them, so that they can enter the upper class of Veritas and become a member of it.

"At the same time, due to the widespread popularity of magic guns and muskets, as well as the unimpeded flow of technological products related to the magic industry in the dwarf world, the dwarves have a wrong understanding of their own strength - they always think they are very strong.

"So, there are more and more people like Olaf who want to become 'dragon hunters'. Some of them are born rich and fight for this honor, while others are born poor and struggle for this wealth. In short, they all believe in this artificial lie and have been intoxicated for too long, so that it has formed a conceptual 'religion'.

"You could even call it the 'Dragon Hunting Church'.

"And Olaf himself, who nearly killed you, was the best of them, or rather... the 'Pope'.

"So I say, in a way, he is also a victim."
