"So tell me, what should we do next?" Claire asked.
"It's very simple." Laurel looked at the body of the man in gray robe and said, "As long as I go back and report that the man in gray robe was killed by the hungry demon seed mother body, it just so happens that his current state is similar. This
This kind of thing happened from time to time before, and after this demon seed is full, it will hide in the void and will not appear again for a year or two. In other words, the 'Dark Cult' wants to confirm the situation.
At least a year later."
"Is it that simple?!" Lando was stunned.
Laurel looked at Lando and nodded silently.
Will you make me look stupid if you do this?! Speaking of which, being a demon seed breeder is really a high-risk profession!
"In that case, it's settled." After Claire finished speaking, she grabbed a small group of body fragments from the soul-chasing undead and threw them at Laurel. The latter was shocked, but he saw the gray-robed man being killed by the soul-chasing undead.
The whole process of devouring the undead, but fortunately there was no reaction after the body fragments entered his body.
"This is a little method I developed based on chasing souls and undead. As long as I think about it, it will start sucking the soul of the parasitized person. This process is quite painful. I think you are also a smart person, so you don't need me to let you feel it.
Alright."
Laurel's mouth twitched slightly and he quickly shook his head.
Next, the three of them walked back, and Laurel briefly told them about this secret realm.
This area is a secret realm belonging to the world of Astraea. The space is very vast, and the concentration of the power of death is very suitable for medium and low-level undead creatures, but it is also difficult to give birth to high-level undead creatures.
The mother body of the Demonic God's Seed is kept on the periphery of this secret space. It makes a living by sucking the soul fluctuations emitted by the undead creatures in the secret realm. However, generally speaking, this method can only maintain survival and cannot feed it.
Therefore, every time members of the 'Dark Cult' come to feed them, they will bring some middle- and low-level members with them. They kill the undead outside, and let the mother body of the Demon God's Seed order some snacks before the meal, so that they will not go crazy with hunger when they meet.
The state directly attacks the feeding personnel. Of course, this is where Laurel's confidence lies in covering up the true death of the gray-robed man.
The three of them simply unified their voices, of course, mainly Lando and Laurel. Claire could just pretend not to know anything, which was not his role in the first place.
When they rushed back to the secret room, Claire left directly with her own ability, and Lando also returned to his original post. When Laurel was the only one left in the secret room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After sitting blankly for a long time, Laurel gave a wry smile and began to send out summons signals as agreed.
After a while, the four people who were out killing monsters returned one by one, and Lando was among them.
The three of them couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that Laurel was in a bad state and he was the only one.
"Laurel, why are you alone? Where is the gray robe?"
Although Laurel is the back-up for the 'Controller', he is only a back-up. In fact, he is at the same level as the other three, so when the three ask questions, they all use normal tones and do not appear to be respectful.
In response to the three people's questions, Laurel did not respond directly, but said: "The mission has been completed, but some accidents occurred during the process. We will return to the academy immediately, and I will explain to the superiors then."
The three of them frowned a little, but since Laurel told him to explain (resisting the responsibility), they didn't say anything more.
Laurel took out the black gem from the man in gray robe. His strength was not enough to directly activate the aura in the black gem, so he needed to take it out every time he used it.
The teleportation array flashed, and the five people returned to the residence with the teleportation array again. The old man sat on the bed and looked at them. When he saw that only five people returned, and the man in gray robe disappeared, his eyes suddenly shrank, and then slowly recovered.
Normal, just a silent sigh.
Laurel bowed respectfully to the old man and left in a hurry with the four of them.
Back at the academy, it was still dark before dawn. Laurel directly asked a few people to disperse. Before leaving, he nodded to Lando, and his attitude was no different from before.
After Lando said goodbye to the other three people with a smile on his face, he also left without caring about the three people who were worried.
After returning to the dormitory, Lando had no intention of going back to sleep. He was waiting for the arrival of the promised person.
After a while, there was a slight fluctuation in the space in Lando's dormitory, and Claire stepped directly out of the void.
Lando took out the tea that he had taken out from the magic tower in advance.
The gray bone dragon had now returned to the size of a palm, crawling around on Claire's shoulders, looking at Lando curiously.
Lando and the gray skeletal dragon looked at each other for a while. The gray skeletal dragon took the lead and turned its head coldly. Lando thought it was quite fun, so he took out a cup and poured some nectar from the Flower of Fresen for it.
The guy's eyes suddenly lit up, he immediately rushed over and plunged his head into the cup, and occasionally let out a cry of satisfaction.
Lando was very interested in this kind of ferocious and cute pet. He couldn't help but look at his left hand, which looked smooth and clean. In fact, there was a little guy belonging to him being gestated here, but he didn't know that after the birth of this crystal life
What will it be like? Is it like its relatives? Or is it a completely new life form?
Seeing Lando playing with Xiao Hui, and Xiao Hui actually looking very happy, Claire couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and interrupted directly: "Stop playing around, let's get down to business first!"
Cute animals are so fun.
Lando reluctantly withdrew his attention.
"That Laurel is quite trustworthy. He didn't do anything unnecessary after we all left the secret room. He just woke up the sleeping Prince Giger and reported what happened in the secret realm. It was just as we agreed, and nothing happened.
To be superfluous, as for whether there are any secret words between them, I still can’t tell at the moment.”
With the convenience of the soul-chasing undead ghost, Claire can monitor Laurel in real time, which is why Lando is waiting for Claire in the dormitory.
Once Laurel chooses to die together and expose the two of them, they will run away directly. After all, this is the core of the Imperial Court. Whether they can fight is one thing, and whether it is cost-effective is another.
Lando simply saw Claire's relaxed expression and roughly guessed that Laurel had not exposed the two of them, so he played there with the little gray bone dragon safely.
"Since there is no need to run away, I will leave first. We will discuss the next action plan tomorrow."
After saying that, he would pick up the small gray bone dragon and leave.
Lando tried to persuade him: "Why are you so anxious? I'm just playing for a while!"
Claire's face darkened, and she disappeared in a flash.
How stingy!(.?`ω′?)
PS: I have been busy at work all day. After dinner, I started typing until now. I really can’t hold on anymore and my brain is dizzy. It’s only the second update today. Brothers, I’m going to bed first!
