Dean Asamonsi and Immortal Wenger represent two extremes.
Asamounsi's soul is immortal, and Wenger's body will last forever.
It was hard to say that it was just a coincidence that they became the four major lords. When Lu Li briefly told the undead about the current progress, he said that he would be happy if Claire was here.
"It's impossible for the vice-chancellor to do that. No one loves the human race more than she does."
"But Asammonth said so."
Lu Li told the undead man what Asammonsi said about Chris coveting the guardian of the earth. Then the undead man, who was still questioning, changed his mind: "The vice-dean did have a premeditated plan..."
It’s no secret in Giant Tree Academy that Vice Principal Chris has always coveted the Guardian of the Earth.
But most professors disagree: devouring the Earth Guardian will certainly make Chris's strength go further, but without the restrictions of the Earth Guardian, the swamp beneath the Giant Tree Academy will fall out of control.
The professors were worried that Midnight City's power wouldn't be able to stop the Swamp, and they were right to worry.
Midnight City fell during the March Contest.
"I think maybe it was just an accident." The undead man said, "Otherwise, the Midnight Church would not let the vice president go."
The Undead is the third survivor of Midnight City to regain his memory. Unlike Margaret who is trapped in the underground city, Asammons, who has no memory of the illusion of Midnight City, knows many things about Midnight City and Giant Tree Academy.
And participate in the fantasy of Midnight City throughout the whole process.
Another example is who is more believable, Asammonth or Chris.
The undead's judgment here tends to be who stays awake and who is trustworthy, so he prefers Asammonth.
Wenger was resurrected by Chris's own sewing, and his choice speaks for itself.
"But you can ask some questions, and if it's the real Asammonth, he'll know the answers."
After entering immortality, Wenger is no longer the "bad-mouthed" image left in Lu Li's residual impression. Lu Li, who has lost the memory of immortal Wenger, is left with only the impressions of long-lasting illusions and the curse words that surfaced along the way.
The undead man told Lu Li a few questions that only the real Asammonth knew the answers to, and asked him to test the gardener, and then hoped that he could be quiet for a while: "I still have some personal things to do for the time being, such as getting rid of some parasites in my body. I need help.
Come to me anytime, I will help you no matter what you want to do."
Even if it means sacrifice.
The undead man released this emotion, and Lu Li was also keen to capture it.
"You'd better survive."
Not wanting the undead to become decadent, Lu Li took him into a dreamland, a place of hope and light.
"The land of light needs you."
"I'm already very tired..."
Even the sun couldn't motivate the Immortal, until he saw the Agate Lake Camp and he changed his mind: "But who can resist the temptation of enjoying sumptuous food if you work harder?"
What made him change his mind was not the power of the Agate Lake camp. The Land of Light was now even weaker than one of the five major knights.
It is the optimism and hope that the residents of Midnight City have never had at any time.
People here truly believe that despair will end with them, and are willing to do anything to do so.
Although what he saw before him was just a dream, the immortal did not feel that Lu Li was lying to him.
The undead summoned the lizard maid, and Margaret, who was waiting in the corridor, pushed the dining cart for cover-up, put down the supper prepared for the "gardener," and then headed to the back kitchen with the dining cart hidden in the plate cover.
Unfortunately, the chef was not here. Margaret, who had no suitable excuse, packed some pastries in the kitchen and took Lu Li back to the tower.
Putting the silver plate with pastries and Lu Li into the serving elevator, Margaret pulled the rope and sent the plate into the tower.
On the other side, Claire, who was lying on the bed, used the wind to hold them up and put them in front of him. He opened the lid of the dinner plate, revealing Lu Li curled up inside.
"It seems that the chef's work has improved." Claire joked and used a fork to comb the hair of Lu Li, who was stretching his body: "Good news or particularly good news?"
"Exceptionally good news."
Lu Li was not affected by his memory, the immortals regained their memories, and the Land of Light gained new members.
Now only the last chef is left among the four major lords.
Claire helped Lu Li think of an idea: "The lizard maid can only go near the kitchen when fetching dishes..."
"I'm pretending to be food for the cook to bring into the kitchen."
"It can't be done now. Your story put mother on guard. It is said that the cook cuts the meat into pieces when delivering the food, and there will be minced meat at the dinner party." Claire rubbed Lu Li's head, and the closet door suddenly opened, and the long-planned meat floated out.
A maid outfit: "But if you disguise yourself as a lizard maid, that's fine. No one can spot you if you put on a lizard head."
"No one can find me."
It's not suitable just for height.
"Bring Margaret up."
As the head maid, Claire controls all the lizard maids and is in charge of their life, death and whereabouts. However, Claire has already released his control over Margaret, but the other five Midnight City survivors are still under control. Before they regain their memories
, Claire will not let go of her grip.
Waiting for Margaret to arrive, Lu Li asked her about the process of finding the "Necronomicon".
Margaret sneaked into the castle and went straight to the library. While cleaning the dust with a wool duster, she was also looking at the books on the bookshelf, the "Necronomicon", and she found it in the process.
In addition to the "Necronomicon", Margaret also found many books that should have been stored in the Giant Tree Academy, but they were temporarily unable to help or were not worth the risk of taking away.
Margaret said that finding the Necronomicon was just a coincidence, but Lu Li didn't think so.
The True Seeing Eyes coincidentally can see the soul, the Crown of Knowledge coincidentally returns memories, the Necronomicon coincidentally finds memories, Asammonth coincidentally makes the soul immortal, and Wenger coincidentally makes the body immortal.
There are too many coincidences.
Ignoring the sense of déjà vu caused by the coincidence for the time being, Lu Li fell into sleep and went to the garden where the gardener was to wait for him to fall asleep.
Late at night, the gardener's mottled dream emerged, and Lu Li merged into the halo.
In the dream, Asamon was awake. When Lu Li asked the question given by the undead, Asamon
Relaxed and smiled: "You succeeded, right?"
Asammonth answered the question correctly, Asammonth is still Asammonth.
Lu Li told Asammonth about his communication with the non-human being, and he felt the same way: "Chris has a reason to do this, but she won't really do it unless something unexpected happens that we don't know about."
In Lu Li's memory, Chris in the fantasy never showed any regret or guilt. Either the murderer was not her, or she had another hidden agenda.
As both Asammonth and the Undead have thought, if Chris wants to destroy Midnight City, the Midnight Church will not tolerate her appearing in the illusion.
"In any case, our main enemy now should be the swamp, not Chris." Asammonth said.
