Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 579 Don't fire, they are friendly forces!
Regarding the name Desti, it was not Mr. Sa who claimed to be half-elf who thought of it, but Brother Yang.

When Bloody Dawn was first established, everything was in ruins and even the library had few books.

So a scholar wrote a list and asked players to donate, among which was a book called "Vision of Shining Nature".

The reward is great, but no one knows where it is.

After making inquiries from many sources, Zhuoyang finally locked onto the elite monster "Daisy" located at the Naldelai Rotten Branch Outpost.

By that time, the place had already been bombed, and the elite monsters had long been killed by the players who had pioneered the land. The withered land was slowly repairing with the help of the wizard, and even the withered beasts rarely spawned.

In this case, if you want to see the elite monsters of that year, you must use the "Restart Memory Plane" item to "go back to the past."

One prop corresponds to one "restart", and the elite has only one life.

But even after catching the sheep and using up all the props in his hand, he still couldn't get the book.

In a rage, he rushed to the other party's "refresh point" before the memory ended, stepped on the ground and planned to burn down the house.

However, at this moment, Desti's purified soul appeared and handed him the book that could not be destroyed even by the holy flame, and the mission was completed.

So he might forget the long and smelly names of other elves, but he would never forget this nightmare name.

At the same time, this will remind him that the tasks in the game are not all "kill and pick up", sometimes he has to use his brain more.

But now he is a little curious, what is the relationship between Elerius and Desty?
“Those two…” Boss Sa sighed, “They are so ridiculous. They both thought that their hidden vein identities would implicate the other party, so they kept it hidden. In the end, they both had hidden veins.”

Zhuoyang: "So there is no communication channel of its own within the Hidden Vein? Are they so good at preventing leaks?"

President Sa: "Yes, the hidden veins are really 'hidden'. After the battle of Mournwood Valley, the identities of many hidden veins were not discovered until people died. If I hadn't entered the dungeon, how could I have known that the steward of the royal court was also a traitor?"

Wei Dianyuan was surprised and asked, "So these equipments are all dropped from dungeons?"

President Sa: "What else? The quality, the special effects, the materials, these are all Veritas brand products, specially made by a master."

Wei Dian Yuan: "Wait a minute, you want to make this robe custom-made? Anything I can find from the armory is better than this!"

President Sa: "Oh, it's not the robe. That was bought in Mercury City. It's not Brother Wei. Think about it, a hunter like him, why would he need such a nice robe? He's just pretending."

Wei Dian Yuan: "Okay, okay! I have banned your right to use the Stone Whistle. You can find a place for Hui Yu to live."

President Sa: "Oh no, come on, Brother Wei, we have something to discuss!"

...

They chatted animatedly, while Elerith was lost in thought in silence.

The origins of these monsters, Naldelai's situation, and Desty's future, countless unknowns were like a tangled ball of thread, making it impossible for him to find a clue even if he wanted to sort out his thoughts.

Compared with this, the equipment accumulated over the years being "borrowed" is a small matter.

When he got close to the Rotten Branch sentry post, he finally couldn't help but speak:
"Will word of our escape from the Sanctum of Harmony not get here?"

President Sa: "The magic network has been restored, but the magic network of the Withered Scar has not been restored, so the news will not be transmitted here."

Eleris suddenly realized.

He also quickly recalled the news not long ago.

Those mystics who retreated to the safe zone as soon as the void disaster struck left as soon as the magic network was restored, and did not come to repair the magic network communications here. It must be because of this reason.

Perhaps that was when Nardele began to deteriorate.

"If Mercury City sends a messenger..."

"They won't do that," said Mr. Sa.

Elerith was stunned: "What?"

"This place has been abandoned."

"How is this possible? This is Nardele, once the most—"

"He's right."

A voice suddenly came from above the towering black trees ahead.

When he heard the voice, it was as if a firework exploded in Eleris' heart, and his whole body lit up for a moment.

But what followed was astonishment.

"Desty, why are you here?"

An agile figure fell from a great height. When about to hit the ground, it suddenly slid forward lightly and stopped just in front of everyone.

Daisy looked up and glanced at everyone, her gaze finally falling on Huiyu. Her light golden eyes stared at Niaotong, and then she stretched out her hand.

Huiyu subconsciously wanted to stimulate the holy light to resist, but the eyes of the person in front of him seemed to have some kind of magic, which cut off its connection with the holy light, causing Huiyu to be "silent" for a moment.

This moment naturally cannot escape the players' eyes.

Wei Dianyuan: "What the hell? She has the same special effects as your senior sister?"

The eldest sister refers to Ophrodite, the Blade of the Dawn, the future Paladin special attack killer who can silence with basic attacks.

Zhuoyang: "How should I know? I've only dealt with her corrupted version... Hiss, that's not right. It seems that her skills do have the effect of locking the Holy Light spell."

Wei Dian Yuan: "Then how did you fight?"

Zhuoyang: "I killed her with my shield. She couldn't disarm me."

The man from Northeast couldn't help but look at Daisy twice more.

This slender little body can be broken by just one shield strike, right?
...

"I spotted this Radiant Feather when it flew over the outpost. It looks like its owner has no intention of hiding."

Daisy stroked Huiyu's head while looking at Mr. Sa next to her and asked him back:

"So, how do you know this place has been abandoned? Are you a member of the royal family who died in a political struggle?"

President Sa folded his arms, leaned on Huiyu, and said calmly:

"you guess."

Desiree was stunned for a moment.

She had imagined many ways this conversation would unfold, but she hadn't guessed this.

But she reacted quickly and understood what the other party meant.

——I have shown my sincerity, not hidden my identity, and brought Elerith here directly. Now it's your turn.

"I understand."

She nodded:

"Let's go back to the outpost and talk slowly on the way."

...

Catch the Sheep: "Oh, Mr. Sa, you have learned to play dumb with the NPCs."

Wei Dianyuan: "Indeed, where did you learn this?"

President Sa chuckled and said, "It seems that you haven't been observing Heine seriously. This is the wisdom of the natives!"

In fact, he didn't know how to answer so he just typed two words randomly, but he didn't expect the other party to continue the conversation.

but--

No matter what the process is, the result is good!
On the way, Eleris told Desty what happened in the Sanctuary of Harmony and the recent situation of Princess Renee.

After hearing this, Desiree not only did not show any emotion or vigilance, but also made some sarcastic remarks about the royal family.

"It's normal for the Elf King who was able to abandon Nardele to not care about curing the withering."

"So when did it start?" Eleris couldn't help but ask.

He had served the royal family in Mercury City for so long and had never heard of the elves wanting to abandon this place.

"It started a long time ago. Material support and personnel rotation have been reduced year by year. The two outposts of Dusk Bay and Mirror Lake were abandoned 20 years ago. I think you are probably not aware of this information.

"In addition, the information sent back through the magic network fell on deaf ears, and those who returned to Mercury City never returned. I don't even know whether those elves deserted or died in the miasma. I dare not leave, for fear of ending up like them."

She smiled self-deprecatingly: "Since you said so, then I guess that except for not publicly declaring 'giving up' in name, they have actually done everything they should do and have long forgotten about this place... By the way, maybe this is good news for you?"

Desti smiled and said jokingly, "You are going to be wanted anyway, so why don't you just stay here with me? There is no way the royal family will come looking for you... But I still have to find you a bow that suits you."

Although she said it nonchalantly, Elerith nodded heavily:

"If that's what you want, I have no problem with that at all!"

Daisy suddenly stopped, a look of surprise appeared on her fair face.

"W-what?"

"I said I can stay here and accompany you for the rest of your life!" Eleris said seriously.

Once he learned that the other party also had a hidden vein, he completely understood why he had refused before.

Because he thought so too!
Desiree was stunned by this sudden and straightforward confession. She was no longer as cold and indifferent as before, and her words and actions revealed a sense of dead silence with no wishes.

Now, there was some panic and shyness on her face.

"You...you are not kidding?" "No, I'm not kidding!"

Elerith stepped forward and held her hand: "Actually, I... I also have a hidden vein!"

"What!!?"

Desti's voice suddenly rose a level, and this voice contained some kind of power that could cut off the holy light. The light on Huiyu's body dimmed for a second, and even Yang Ge's soul fire flashed.

Zhuoyang: "Fuck, her skills are a bit against me!"

President Sa: "Shh, stop arguing, it's a critical moment!"

...

"It's true, Desty."

Elerius reached out and held the other's shoulder, saying seriously:

"I am really a member of the Hidden Vein, and I know you are one too. Perhaps this identity has many constraints on us, but that was in the past. Now it doesn't matter!"

"Eleris, I..."

Desiree's face flushed red, as if she had lost the ability to speak and think, and she could only watch the other person getting closer and closer.

Just when the two were about to kiss, a question mark came in the way.

"?"

Not only did it interrupt the two people's intimate behavior, it also exploded into a ball of question marks, flying around the two of them.

They were awakened by then and realized that there was someone watching them!
Wei Dianyuan: "This really doesn't treat us as outsiders."

President Sa: "Does this count as a one-step increase in reputation?"

Wei Dian Yuan: "What's wrong with you understanding me like this?"

Just as Mr. Sa said, after this little episode, Desti's reputation suddenly rose from "vigilant" to friendly.

And most importantly, her temperament has also changed dramatically, like a dead tree coming back to life in spring, or a dried fish finding water.

Moisturized instantly!
So when she arrived at the Rotten Branch Outpost, she performed her unique skills for everyone.

"Arise, my servants!"

After the Necromancer uttered this meaningful line, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared around the watchtower built against the old tree.

Some of them broke out of the ground, some jumped down from trees, and some even came out of the air.

They look very mixed, like withered creatures, like undead, but more like plant puppets.

Although they were pitifully weak, with an average level of no more than level two, the strange thing was that even Wei Dianyuan's level six perception had not been able to detect them before.

There is only one explanation for this...

This is dead matter.

They are as inconspicuous as a dead tree on the roadside or a stone on the ground, so even if they are sensed, what is conveyed back is "landscape creation" rather than hostile creatures.

But now they are all "alive".

Elerius stared at these blankly, feeling sad for no reason:
"Are you the only one left here?"

"If I hadn't sent everyone else away, I wouldn't have dared to do this. This is a blasphemy against nature..."

Desti sighed and looked at the skeletons:
"You may have felt that these 'Withering Guards' are just like you. They don't have the death energy of undead creatures, but in fact they are genuine undead. It's just that the death energy from their souls has been neutralized, and their bodies are withered creatures. I guess the people who created your bodies can understand my approach."

The three of them looked at each other.

They could be sure that Heine absolutely did not understand this.

"What are they for? How did you do it?" asked Mr. Sa.

Daisy explained: "They can go deep into the miasma and bring back supplies and information for me. The withered beasts generally won't attack them, and the same goes for the undead inside. As for the method..."

She looked at Zhuoyang with a little doubt: "Aren't you the same?"

The sheep catcher was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly.

"You mean the Holy Light?"

"Yes." Desti nodded and said, "The holy light neutralized by nature can purify the evil spirits in the dead souls, making them easier to control. Otherwise, no dead soul would be willing to attach itself to a fake body, unless it is an evil spirit with high intelligence - but in that case, wouldn't it become a man-made lich?"

After she said this, the three of them understood.

The basic spell of a necromancer is to rent a soul from the underworld and attach it to a corpse.

The reason why the dead soul agreed to this is because it satisfied its obsession with resurrection.

This is also the origin of death.

A corpse always emits a strong smell of death.

But that's not the case with Desti's Withering Guard.

First of all, the souls of the dead are purified and not so stubborn.

Secondly, the "corpse" is also fake. The body made of withered plants can make low-level withered beasts and undead think that it is "one of their own".

From this perspective, the person who wrote "The Vision of Shining Nature" is truly a talent!

At this moment, Mr. Sa suddenly had an idea:
"In that case, can you equip the three of us with these things?"

Seeing this line of words, Daisy's eyes lit up.

Yes...

Since what we see before us are truly "harmless undead with advanced intelligence", why not try to turn them into the same?
……

The sky was dark, and the gray-green miasma glowed a faint green light at night.

Leaving Renee behind to receive treatment from Desty, the group entered this restricted area which was similar to the Withered Scar in the Whispering Woods. The three brothers did not need to be cautious this time and walked in with a bold and powerful pace without caring about their relatives.

The three people armed as "Wither Guards" by the latter found that the withered beasts and undead along the way really would not attack them.

Even if they were fighting each other, they wouldn't even look at them.

This is too cool!

There has never been a statement in "AGE" that high-level players will not be attacked by red-named monsters, and the latter's hatred range will not change depending on the strength of the target.

The only things that affect the so-called "hatred range" are things that can be seen at a glance, such as size and appearance, as well as the "deterrent aura" that all large monsters have.

The latter is actually a summary of biological characteristics and does not count as an additional skill.

The reason is very simple. Most of the Warcraft's perception that relies on the body cannot be projected externally, so they cannot judge whether the player in front of them is a newbie or a big shot, so they can only take a bite first.

Similarly, most of the Warcraft that can sense external signals or not-so-smart monsters cannot determine the level of the player they sense, and can only use a skill first.

They are simply not smart enough to go around the player.

To some extent, this is also the reason why Teacher Xia chose to remain invisible.

This can save a lot of trouble.

The same is true for the hunter's disguise.

But other professions are not so convenient.

Generally, when walking to a destination, players will choose to form a group, or hire a few hunters to drive the herd, or buy the "pheromones" of high-level monsters to drive away wild monsters.

Those experiences were never as great as they are now!
This directly changes the "camp"!
Soon, the three found a conspicuous building.

This place seemed to have been a small temple in the past, and the mottled fountain sculpture in front of the door was the embodiment of some natural force.

According to local customs, this is a mother leopard breastfeeding her cubs.

But now the statue has collapsed and is shrouded in green ghostly fire, making it look like a mother leopard being eaten by her cubs.

The stupid undead servants were lining up to carry the fresh remains of withered creatures into the temple, most of which were still bloody and steaming.

In the past, this would require detection, guessing, and finding ways to figure it out.

But now, don’t think about anything and just go in!

The three of them came to the edge of the temple and each snatched a bunch of things from the undead passing by along the way.

If any of the skeletons tried to resist, I would catch them and kick them to pieces.

Then they squeezed in, carrying their things.

Inside there was a corpse wizard with half of his face missing, who was concentrating on drawing a sacrificial array.

There were offerings all around it, and a ball of blue will-o'-the-wisp hung above its head. A cold and elegant female voice came from it, repeating the key points of the magic circle in the Elvish language, as if it had been recorded in advance.

As if he had noticed that the three figures were coming in at an unusual speed, the corpse wizard raised his waist and looked over in confusion with his only remaining eye.

"you……"

Before the dry voice could finish a whole sentence, the sole of a size 44 shoe kicked towards him.

Along with it came the dazzling holy light.
