Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 561 Mysterious Guest
Of course he had to renew the contract, so Heine obediently added an hour.

Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked.

Unlike the strict manner when he first taught him, Solace, who had received the money, was extra careful and patient in his teaching, and he also added more content on some minor details.

This also slowed down the pace of teaching, and the content that should have been covered in one class ended up taking two classes.

Fortunately, Solace was not shameless enough to ask for unlimited refills, or his dignity did not allow him to fill the class with water. In any case, by the time Teacher Xia recovered, he had already finished explaining all seven transformation structures of the rune and had nothing else to say.

Anything more is not what the customer specifically asked for.

This means that Heine has seven different options for modifying the nameplate, or disguising his identity - but in fact, he doesn't need so many options at all.

After several attempts to ensure that he would not be exposed, Heine dismissed Solace who was looking at him expectantly, and looked at Teacher Xia.

"Okay, now tell me what you've been through."

……

The next day, Delmines.

Ever since Teacher Xia abandoned his dagger and escaped yesterday, Da Huang decisively picked up the equipment and ran away, then told his aunt about the situation in the most exaggerated way possible.

After one night, the troops from the Shadow Temple filled the stronghold on the fourth floor.

Even the chief priestess Nice herself came.

Today, this stronghold has become the front line against the invasion of the underworld, and the temple attaches great importance to it.

The area around the stronghold was filled with warlocks wearing black-trimmed robes, numbering more than five hundred.

Some of them were nervously maintaining the detection barrier, some were meditating, and some were communicating with the strange beasts they controlled.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and there were countless soul hunters hiding there.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

In addition, there are at least fifty small floating cities patrolling along the circular corridors between the rock walls, looking after each other.

This is certainly not the full strength of the Temple, but it is all the troops that the nearby cities can mobilize in a short period of time without affecting the local guards.

In these floating cities, the most conspicuous one is Da Huang. He stopped in front of the crack of the fifth-layer rock wall, facing the Gate of the Underworld in the distance.

A loli in gorgeous black clothes stood on the terrace, looking into the distance, and finally retracted her gaze to the huge crack on the fifth-layer rock wall.

It is at least fifty meters wide, running the entire length of the rock wall, and the cut is so smooth as if it had been carefully polished.

Even she was frightened when she saw it.

"You said this place was also blown up by the other side?" she turned her head and asked.

She was worried that if the people in the underworld had such great power, then no matter how many people there were, they would not be enough.

Veronica glanced at Wei Dianyuan, who typed:

"Yes, but it's not a force they can control."

"When the Nether Dust Fortress was built, it emitted several waves of decay. There are three similar cracks in total. Judging from their arrangement, two waves were blocked by the Nether Gate behind the fortress, or absorbed, so there are two fewer cracks."

"This means that the lich who built the fortress was also invading for the first time and did not have much experience in building fortresses."

What he actually wanted to say was "This lich is a loser."

The two waves must have penetrated into the door and hit their own people.

Hearing this, Nice looked towards the Gate to the Underworld in the distance again.

The original vertical crack has been widened into a diamond shape, and the dazzling white light has been restrained, but gray-white ghost hands have appeared on the outline, firmly controlling the portal as if to reinforce it.

A black platform no smaller than that of Niggleser stood near the diamond-shaped portal, as if it had grown out of it.

After one night, not only did they mobilize their manpower, but the other side also built a solid fortress and completely removed their disguise.

Nikis shook her head, trying to dispel the thought of "If only I had attacked at all costs."

This is an escape thought that people often have when they are in a bad situation. To put it bluntly, it is shirking responsibility and transferring the pressure to Veronica who is stationed here.

Because reality is a river that flows straight forward, it is impossible to really go back to the past and compare what would have happened "if it had been", so such thoughts will always be invincible.

She shouldn't think like that.

Besides, Veronica's decision was based on the opinions of these three skeletons. Since she trusted them, there was no need for her to doubt the original decision.

"According to your predictions, what will happen next?"

She asked again, this time directly to Wei Dianyuan.

The Northeastern people took a little effort to modify the statement "These three mouths will spawn monsters, and their strengths are strong-medium-weak" into a reasonable guess and stated it.

Nikis couldn't help but frown: "Why would the strongest go to the battlefield first?"

——Of course it’s because the sooner you die, the sooner the CD will be! And a lot of people will die in the first wave of attacks, and it will be strange to pull up the dead!

Wei Dian Yuan:
"First, because they will be resurrected. Those who embrace death first will be the first to enter the resurrection queue."

"Secondly, because the death brought about initially will become the enemy that follows."

It turned out to be like this...

Nikis nodded slightly.

If I don't know this, I will probably suffer a great loss in the first fight.

The battle here is completely different from the battle on the Ash Front. After all, the opponents there are summoned creatures that are not afraid of death and humans who are afraid of death.

Unlike this time, the opponent is not afraid of death at all.

She couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It seems that you know a lot about the underworld." Then he asked, "But you just said that the other lich is inexperienced in this kind of thing, so will he still do this?"

Wei Dian Yuan: "The lich in charge of building the fortress will not be the battle commander."

Nikis was stunned: "What is that?"

Wei Dianyuan was about to answer but was stopped by Dahuang.

Da Huang: "You've said too much. The spoiler method is already outrageous. We can't open the illustrated guide for her alone, right? We have to let her figure it out herself."

Wei Dianyuan: "That's true. If I tell her my name, occupation, level and skills, no matter how much I trust her, she will look like a spy from the underworld, right?"

President Sa: "How can the bad woman be so stupid? She doesn't use her brain at all. She totally treats us as wheelchairs. She is really incomparable to Heine!"

Da Huang: "Please don't bother talking. Not everyone can react as quickly as Heine. Sometimes I doubt he can hear what we say."

President Sa: "You're overthinking this. If you could hear me, I wouldn't be here!"

The two talked about the earliest "dividing the luggage", and Wei Dianyuan typed:
"Lichs are not good at launching attacks, so the commander of the battle can only be someone else. In addition, the opponent's lich is obviously inexperienced, so it is even less likely that he is the commander."

Nikis nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made more and more sense.

"Then we'll just adapt to the situation."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the chain of forgiveness on her skirt emitted a burst of light, fell off the chain, jumped into the air, and pieced together into a strange rune, which split into two and hung in front of Wei Dian Yuan and Veronica respectively.

"You can use this mark to keep in touch with me. If you find anything new, just tell me or Teacher Veronica."

Wei Dianyuan studied the rune for a few seconds and found that it was equivalent to a communication tool that did not require a base station. He was suddenly shocked.

Isn’t this what Alan and Valasir were researching at the time?
Because they had retrieved the twin daggers of sin, the brothers planned to take Alan back to Macala, so they did not tell Nikis and the aunt in detail about the things in Orgas. They just said that everything inside was destroyed, and they did not seem to have much regret.

Now it seems that this decision was absolutely the right one!

The chief priest of the Shadow Temple is still using the technology passed down from the past, but he has never made it public, let alone spread the deeds of these people. This doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it, right?
Whether this was their original intention or a hidden danger left over from the past, it shows that similar things still face resistance in the North today.

But having resistance is one thing, and giving up what belongs to the Nice people is another.

So with these two souls and this technology, we players are crazy!
This is undoubtedly a happy ending, a world where no one gets hurt!
"Boss Yu, how about this for you?" Wei Dianyuan asked, "It can command those NPCs." Da Huang: "Take it and help me pass the message. It's hard for me to type."

Wei Dianyuan: "Who doesn't need to work hard? It would be great if Teacher Xia was here. He is the best at this job."

President Sa: "Stop talking, my Xia might have already gone offline... woooo..."

As he was humming, a dark blood bat flew from the direction of the stronghold and circled around Nikis several times.

"what?"

Nikis looked shocked and then cast incredulous looks at several people.

"Your companion...is back?"

...

"What the hell?" Mr. Sa was shocked: "Can I heal like this?"

Wei Dianyuan: "Good job, Mr. Sa!"

Da Huang quickly flew back with a few people, and then saw a "McFlurry" slowly floating out from the entrance.

The brand new Teacher Xia jumped down from it.

"Oh my god! You never expected that I'm back!"

Although he is so unrestrained, in the eyes of outsiders, he has a steady pace and the temperament of a master who is calm and relaxed.

Mr. Sa: "What's going on? Why did you show up here?"

Wei Dian Yuan: "Indeed, we thought you were offline."

Da Huang: "Weren't you sucked in? Did you come back to life in the resurrection pool of Heine's ancestral home after you died?? Shit, then aren't we invincible?"

Teacher Xia: "No, I was indeed sucked in, and guess what? I ran into Heine head-on! Then he took me back to Mackala from that place. Now it's fast to rebuild my body. If McFlurry hadn't flown slowly and he had asked me to shake people, I should have been back last night."

As he was speaking, Huiyue and Dylan jumped off the McFlurry.

Not only Teacher Xia came, but also McCalla's reinforcements.

As for Dylan, thanks to his good reputation along the way, the reinforcements were able to reach Delmines unimpeded.

In addition, here are the "authentic and legal hostile undead creatures" that he has been thinking about.

He missed this scene even in his dreams.

With the elder sister's presence, Teacher Xia didn't have to bother talking about trivial things and instead had a great chat with his brothers.

After a brief greeting, Huiyue introduced the situation in the underworld and McCalla's response.

"They not only built a fortress here, but also a corresponding stronghold on the other side of the portal, in the underworld."

Huiyue said solemnly, "Moreover, compared to this easily destroyed building, our people are currently unable to enter the underworld to destroy the stronghold. This means that if the rift is not completely resolved, the undead will continue to emerge from the door and consume the strength of the living."

Hearing this, Nikis's eyes also became solemn.

Combining intelligence from all sides, she had raised the severity of the matter by several levels, but she didn't expect it was still too low.

Nikis: "But we don't know how to close this door... No, it should be said that no one knows what to do at this stage."

Huiyue shook her head: "Yes, but I'd like you to come to our ship to discuss this matter."

Nikis was stunned: "Go to your ship?"

"Yes, come to us."

...

"What the hell is going on?" President Sa was impatient: "Is Heine going to trap the little girl? Doesn't he only like old things?"

Wei Dianyuan: "You think too much. Aren't bad women old? She is old enough, okay?"

Teacher Xia: "I'm not saying anything, let's have a serious negotiation! It's a surprise anyway, you'll know when you get there!"

Da Huang: "Why the hell are you keeping me in suspense?"

Teacher Xia: "Of course, how can I tell you that Brother Yang is here and not let me tell you about this?"

The three of them were stunned, and then they heard the sheep catcher's laughter and scolding from a little distance:
"I knew you were unreliable."

...

Only my aunt and Nikis were invited to board the airship, and the latter's face changed slightly since she got on.

Immersed in the light of the Harmony, she felt a strange emotion invading her mind, as if it wanted to make her calmer.

This would undoubtedly reduce her unconditional trust in Lady Death Speaker.

She instinctively resisted this situation, with a hint of uneasiness lingering between her brows.

Seeing her situation, several people were a little scared.

President Sa: "This is the first time I've met someone who can't calm down."

Wei Dian Yuan: "She is different from others. The rules of the village do not apply to her. Unless all the people of Nice become rational, she will change accordingly. To put it bluntly, she is just a chart. It is useless to change the numbers on the chart without changing the status quo."

Teacher Xia: "Fortunately, I didn't give her a sedative, otherwise she would have exploded."

...

Nikis was invited to the cabin, where not only was the light of the Instrument of Harmony the brightest, but there was also a standing cabinet.

The cabinet blocked my senses and was covered with a cloth, so I couldn't see what was underneath.

The chief priest became more and more confused.

At this time, Huiyue said: "There is a person in the cabinet. You will meet him next, but I hope you will not get too excited."

Nikis laughed: "How could I——"

Before he could finish his words, the tarpaulin was pulled down and a transparent cabinet appeared in front of him.

And in the cabinet was an old man with a hunched back.

"Arbitrator Alpite!"

Nikis's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

A fist-sized black vortex appeared in the air. The power of the shadows suddenly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, several mottled traces of annihilation appeared on the walls and the floor.

The famous Arbiter does more than just kill undead on the Ash Front.

He was also responsible for arbitrating heresy.

Although there has been no war on the continent for many years, the friction between the Shadow Temple and the Eternal Dawn has never stopped.

Every year, countless warlocks and researchers die in the Shadow Temple for no apparent reason, and they are all believers without exception.

At least half of them were captured by the Eternal Dawn outside the North, and then imprisoned or purged as heretics.

Regardless of the outcome, these people will not die, but the energy in their bodies will be purified, and because of the will in the extraordinary energy, they will be forcibly brainwashed and change their beliefs.

Therefore, this is not a war.

This is the "peaceful situation" led by Veritas.

Similarly, the Nice people can do the same to the Luku people.

However, this "offense" is not "equal" as the mages claim.

Because the death and shadows throughout the continent are always greater than the holy light, the people of Eternal Dawn have a larger range of activities and opportunities to attack.

Therefore, even though Alpite did not have a drop of Nice blood on his hands, he was still full of evil in the eyes of the Nice people.
