Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 551 Returning to the old place
"Do you know what this is?"

Xavier asked, pointing at the root in his hand.

Several people shook their heads.

"have no idea."

"This is divine power. Even though it is only a tiny bit, it is also the most precious thing that gods bestow upon believers. Of course, not all divine power comes from gods' gifts. It is also possible that believers have plundered it themselves."

...

Teacher Xia: "Damn, he doesn't seem to be planning to lie yet?"

Mr. Sa: "Of course. How can I get you to take the bait if I don't tell you something concrete first? Then it's time to talk nonsense."

Teacher Xia: "What's going on? Wow, is this girl crying?"

Da Huang: "That's too exaggerated. We are puppets, bots. There's nothing to be surprised about."

As he said this, an "oh" floated above his head.

Seeing his reaction, Savia couldn't help but feel a little bored.

After all, in his opinion, what he said was shocking.

But he immediately wondered in his heart why he was competing with the puppet.

Only at times like this did he feel that this group of people were not as interesting as real people.

He continued: "For example, this is what the Zanluo man just got from the God of War."

"How did you know?" Wei Dian Yuan asked.

"I just got most of his memories."

"In other words, you used some kind of vicious necromancy?" asked Teacher Xia.

...

Da Huang: "No, what are you going to do?"

Teacher Xia: "Don't panic. This is the right time to ask. We are puppets of the Shadow Temple. We must have a faction determination! He must know it clearly in his heart."

...

As Teacher Xia said, Savia was not surprised by this.

Instead, he glanced at the dagger that returned to Teacher Xia's hand.

Sure enough, some kind of judgment was triggered. If this conversation is not handled properly, these guys might really riot.

——Fortunately, I was one step ahead and made an excuse early on.

As he thought about it, he began to explain: "Remember the question I asked him, 'Do you know Savia?' I judged from his soul fluctuations that he was about to lie. And it was indeed the case. Not only did he know Savia, he also had a close relationship with him."

It was obvious that Savia was prepared to lie, and the protagonist of the lie was himself.

During these days of contact, the two sides gradually established initial trust, and he had also confirmed that the other party was from the Shadow Temple.

Moreover, the last intelligence about Gittier had already made the top leaders of the Temple suspicious of the Gittier family.

——Otherwise, the underground ruins that were originally cooperating with Gittier would not have stopped.

It is obvious that Gittier saw that the situation was not good and wanted to avoid the limelight first.

In fact, this is a play performed by Dylan, the new patriarch of Gittier, and the players, but it does not affect Savia's belief that Aaron, played by him, is currently in the camp of "jointly fighting against the regime of the Mad King of Ogas and Savia, the hidden man behind the scenes" with the Temple.

He can certainly throw dirty water on "Saviya".

Just like players can contact Dylan to act out a play, he can also perform his lies as best as possible outside.

In short, the Ghost Lord believes that everything is under control, and his desire to create is overflowing.

"I have heard of the 'Ghost Lord Saviya' you mentioned. It is a taboo word that cannot be mentioned in Ogas."

Savia said solemnly: "Savia was one of the rebels against the tyrannical rule of the tyrant. It is rumored that he gathered the power of tens of millions of ordinary people to oppose the Mad King, but was ruthlessly killed by the latter, and his soul was exiled to the underworld.

"After Dictatura was punished by God and trapped here, the Mad King suddenly realized that he could use this already rotten soul, so he asked him to guard the real plane of the Eternal Land to prevent explorers from approaching. However, Savia also gained the power to disobey the Mad King and coveted this place..."

...

After he finished telling this story, the four of them were dumbfounded.

It’s not because this unofficial history is wild enough, but because…

It's so real that it doesn't seem like wild history!

Every aspect of this history is very similar to what players know in the game, and it was written by the real Aaron.

The latter's delicate, sensitive and inaccessible otaku soul doesn't seem like someone who would make up such a story to fool people, right?
Teacher Xia: "Do you think he took the opportunity of lying to speak out his true feelings?"

Da Huang: "Considering that his goal is the same as ours for now, both are to enter the Heart of Ogas, and Savia's identity is not important, why not do it for real instead of lying?"

President Sa: "That's not right. Could it be that there is really a mad king here? Another soul source? It can't be the hunting captain who went to the forest, right?"

Da Huang: "I don't know. Just keep listening."

...

"...The Zanluo people have been trading with us for a long time. Their holy land, or spiritual plane, is connected as a whole. It is very vast and can resist the power of the law that absorbs souls from the Shadow Realm and the Underworld.

“So, even the souls that have just died in the southern part of the plateau can enter the holy land almost unscathed, and then be transported here. We will purify the souls and implant their wills, so that they can become staff members to maintain the magic circle.

"But soon, we discovered that there were 'impurities' in the souls that were transported. That's it."

He displayed the divine power in his hand: “There has never been a similar situation before. The souls they sent were mainly dwarves and Ness, and there were almost no orcs and Zanlo people themselves.

“But after a certain point, the souls of the latter two proliferated, and almost every one of them carried this trace of impurity.

"Although it is inconspicuous and weak like a grain of salt dissolved in a lake, it exists and cannot disappear. As time goes by, it becomes more and more, and finally has a terrible impact on the tyrant..."

——It would be nice if someone asked this question at this time.

Savia thought as he looked at the four skeletons that looked like wooden stakes.

Wei Dian Yuan: "What the hell is he waiting for, panting?"

Teacher Xia: "Maybe he's waiting for a supporting actor? How about I..."

Wei Dianyuan: "Forget it, don't let him get used to this habit."

...

After asking for trouble, Saviar continued: "He lost his mind, as if another self had appeared in his mind... He was sometimes calm, sometimes furious, and the entire Heart of Ogas was reverberating with his roar of confronting his 'self'...

"In the end, he defeated and sealed his other self, but he also sealed some of Ogas' functions. The staff who originally maintained those functions, such as me, were dismissed at that time...

"Without the support of Ogas, we can only drift aimlessly, waiting for the end of our lives. Most of my companions have lost themselves in this long wait, but fortunately I met you."

Da Huang: "Question, according to what you said, this trade ended at that time, why can we still encounter the ghost airships of the Zanluo people today? Also, what does this have to do with Savia?"

Savia was satisfied with his logic and replied, "Trade should indeed end, but in fact, the memory I got from this Zanluo man is not like this. There was a problem in the exchange between the two sides a long time ago. The trade was not "stopped", but "there is no problem as long as there is no trade."

"That is to say, as long as they come in with an 'empty ship' and don't unload cargo, they won't trigger Ogas's blockade.

“This is because the Zanluo people still need this trade.

"The Mad King shut down some functions of the control center and laid off our employees. He doesn't need more employees, but the Zanluo people who sell souls still need them, so the transaction is continuing. But who is the target of the transaction... It's obvious, and the Zanluo people don't mind changing the target."

…Da Huang: “What he made up is quite plausible. If I hadn’t talked to that parrot man, I would have believed it.”

Teacher Xia: "Parrot man? Oh, the goods were stopped by Sangji, right?"

Da Huang: "What else? How come your memory is only 7 seconds like a fish... The parrot man got anxious when he saw us, and he obviously knew that the goods were delivered to the Ash Front. And from the expression on Savia's face when he saw the ship, he didn't know about it, so the part about 'trade suspension' and 'continue trading with Savia' should be fake.

“However, regarding the accumulation of weak divinity and the deactivation of some functions of the Heart of Ogas, there should be no problem.

"I guess this is also the reason why trade is still maintained - they have lost the ability to actively 'stop trade', so the goods were transported to the east. Maybe the Zanluo people found the buyers themselves and regarded this place as a black market.

"Didn't Warrior Brother say that the energy stones on the Zanluo Plateau are very expensive, but the guy over there obviously has no shortage of them. He obviously needs this trade."

Mr. Sa: "What about the fox man? Why does he look like he has heard of Savia? Why?"

Wei Dian Yuan: "It's your turn to deliver the goods. You are told that there is a tough guy named Savia near the destination and you have to avoid him. You should have heard of him."

President Sa: "That makes sense... No wonder they sent the toughest ones here by pinching their necks. These are the elites who emerged from JJC."

As they were chatting, Savia suddenly changed the subject and talked about the highlight.

"Everyone, since you have seized this ship, it won't be that difficult to enter the Heart of Ogas. We can pretend to be the Zanluo people who have returned."

Da Huang: "But you said we don't have the identification code to enter."

Saviya: "Yeah, I don't have one either, but I can pretend to be a Zanro."

As he spoke, his soul suddenly transformed into the appearance of the fox man that had just been burned.

This is not a disguise, but he simply gave up the Aaron alias and changed his appearance.

"As for you... I have seen you all replenish your energy. At that time, your souls were completely motionless, like dead objects. They did not cause any feedback to the identification barrier. If you trust me, we can go in. Once we return to my workplace, I can find a way to resolve our identity crisis."

Saviya said earnestly.

He was also very nervous, worried that he had not "built up enough reputation".

Because he really needs the power of these skeletons.

Ogas' layers of defense were prepared for him. Before that, he couldn't even penetrate with the slightest consciousness.

But it’s different with this group of thugs. Not only can he get in, but he can also stir up trouble inside.

As long as the breakthrough is opened, the Ghost Lord Saviya himself can come to this fortress in person and take back his own power!

Under Savia's expectant gaze, a "good" appeared above Da Huang's head.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and these skull heads became even cuter in his eyes.

……

The dark green airship returned to the vicinity of the western sentry tower and approached the white fog that was flashing with electric light.

These protections act like electrified barbed wire, serving as the first line of defense in the core area while also checking for any intruders who do not have an identification code.

When they were about to come into contact with the white fog, Da Huang and the others who were flying against the boat went into hibernation mode.

Four balls of soul fire of different colors and without any fluctuations floated quietly in the air, like dead objects.

The body of the floating city is still there, and continues to move forward due to inertia.

Savia manually controlled the direction and plunged it into the fog.

Lightning crackled and struck the airship, and a layer of cold perception swept across Saviya's soul.

But then, everything went quiet.

"Good, I'm back."

Savia looked at the fog gradually dissipating outside the terrace, with a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a creature with huge white fleshy wings on its back and long arms and legs flew over and squatted on the terrace.

Judging from his hands and feet alone, he looks like a giant macaque, but his head is pointed on both sides, and his facial features on his white face are a little crowded, making him look more like an owl.

His head tilted at a scary angle like an owl, and he said, "Safety Owl Guard No. 875, check for abnormalities. The airship is located on the Zanluo Plateau. Tell me your number."

"0427W, from Sanguilande," Saviar replied.

No. 875's head turned and he blinked.

"0427W, you left 2.7 system hours ago. Why did you come back?"

Savia immediately said seriously, "I am here to report an improper transaction. The administrator of Resource Station W-4 secretly traded with 300W, Tuk Lakao Ramagani of Sanguilande, more than 0427 system years ago... In short, the leader who claimed to be a prophet. I am applying for the arbitration tribunal to intervene in this matter to investigate and collect evidence, and to provide me with protection at a security level of no less than level before the evidence is collected."

After taking in such fatal information all at once, No. 875's head started spinning like a windmill.

After turning around for who knows how many times, it finally stopped.

"Your request has been submitted to the confidential area for review. According to the instructions given by Ogas, I should assist you in completing the transfer. Please follow me."

It left the terrace and flew slowly in front of the airship.

After a series of complicated changes of direction, Saviya finally saw the scene he had dreamed of.

This is a dream world.

It was as if an eternal, blinding sun was pouring down from the sky, bathing everything in brightness and splendor.

Even without the holy and inviolable glow of the Holy Light, it is incompatible with the shadows of the North.

Hollow floating islands made of silver metal slowly float in the air. Winding and winding belt-like tracks connect the islands, dividing the sky into pieces.

Souls were dancing or running busy and orderly in the air. The white fragments of light scattered from them gathered into clouds like morning mist. Through the mist, one could barely make out the huge spherical building in the distance. Its complex surface was connected to countless pipes, and the air around it was twisted, as if it was contracting and expanding in an orderly manner, like both a heart and a brain.

However, all this busyness is immersed in an unreal silence.

There was no sound.

Even Savia was infected by the silence.

So when No. 875 spoke again, he felt as if he had suddenly woken up.

"We are about to enter the downtown area, please follow me closely."

"Okay, okay."

He said.

The wings of No. 875 were stained with a faint red color, like a warning light reminding the surrounding souls to stay away from him and the airship behind him.

Soon, the airship arrived at an island in the sky. From a distance, it looked like a small iron bag floating in the air, but when it got closer, it was as big as half a stadium.

The airship was scanned individually at the docking point, and Saviya himself left the airship and went to the safe house with No. 875.

He suddenly looked back at the airship and saw the scanning light covering the hull.

According to the original agreement, there was only one minute left for the puppets to "wake up".

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Savia thought to herself, and walked quickly into the safe house.

When he closed the door, a shrill alarm sounded outside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Unknown creatures are invading!"
