Lily was sitting at the small table in the corner of the first floor of the hotel, eating her lunch somewhat depressedly. Surrounded by her were Aurelia, Alison, Ethela and her maid Ji Ye.
"I don't know why that guy Fan is sneaking around every day... He sneaks out early in the morning and comes back at midnight..." Lily boredly poked the unknown vegetables on the plate into puree, then dipped one in the puree and ate one
Bacon, "Uncle Bear and the others also go out early and come back late every day. I don't know what they are busy with..."
"Hey~ Lily, you care about Fan very much!" Alison automatically skipped the second half of Lily's words and teased with an ambiguous face, "You actually know when he leaves and when he comes back."
Lily rolled her eyes and said angrily: "What a coincidence, I usually don't sleep at night, so I don't care about that idiot! But speaking of...do you feel that something is wrong with Fan recently?"
Aisela nodded and said: "Maybe there is a girl you like, right? A secret tryst or something..."
"It's indeed very possible..." Lily touched her chin thoughtfully. Seeing this, Alison continued to tease Lily with a smile: "Hee hee~ He said he didn't care~ When he was in Harlai
, don’t you go to Fan’s room every night?”
"No! No!" Lily's face suddenly turned red. She did sneak over to suck blood while Fan was unconscious, but Alison said it without any clue...
"Eat well." Aurelia knocked Lily on the head, causing Lily, who was about to argue with Alison, to feel discouraged and fiddle with her lunch listlessly.
"The Dragon Spear side doesn't seem to count us as part of the team." The girls were silent for a while, and then Esera suddenly spoke, her voice a little lower than usual, as if she was afraid that someone would hear, "Why don't we just act separately from them?
Bar?"
"Hey? Why?" Alison seemed a little unhappy. She held the pendant hanging around her neck in her right hand and pouted, "Oli's injury hasn't healed yet. I can't just leave it alone."
"Not healed yet?" Lily didn't know how to answer - was Ollie's injury that serious? Van, who was almost sucked dry by himself, could still run and jump... There was definitely something wrong with the two of them.
Lily stared at Alison meaningfully, and Alison looked at Lily cutely, as if she didn't know what Lily wanted to express. She didn't know whether Alison was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, so Lily was annoyed and simply continued.
topic.
"Why does Ethela want us to act separately from Uncle Bear and the others?" Lily was a little confused. She originally just wanted to use the opportunity of joining the mercenary group to get rid of Alison's intention to retain her in Harlai. As a result,
Later, Alison not only followed, but she was also regarded as the mastermind behind the undead mutation and was forced to act together with Dragon Spear.
But thinking about it, Aisela seemed to be forced to act together by the Dragon Spear. During this period, the two of them were more or less monitored by the Dragon Spear. It was not until the giant snake incident a few days ago that the Dragon Spear
Only then did the mercenaries lower their vigilance and began to search for traces of the butcher all over Otez.
If we leave without saying goodbye now, it is indeed possible to get rid of the Dragon Spear mercenary group, but Lily does not have much dislike for the group of Dragon Spear mercenaries. To be precise, Lily's heartless character is not the best thing she has encountered so far.
Most people don't have much disgust at all, and even Hunter, who slaughtered slaves, doesn't have much disgust for her - the people who died were humans, and Lily was a vampire. Because of the different races, Lily didn't feel it.
A lot of the anger was just because I subjectively disliked the guy who slaughtered his own race.
Ethela licked the sauce at the corner of her mouth, looked at the guests around her carefully, and said to Lily and the others: "It's not that I hate those mercenaries, but they are too reckless. You haven't seen Dix."
The current situation may be unimaginable... The wave of undead that broke out in Dix is definitely not a simple thing. If they want to investigate the mastermind behind it, just one or two master-level experts will not be enough. I hear
Those who escaped from the north said that even the Alkari Council was captured by the undead, otherwise why do you think the Great Sage has not come forward until now?"
The Alkari Council symbolizes the highest authority of Garsain magic. It not only gathers magicians from all races, but also has great sages at the sanctuary level. Not only that, the Alkari Council also formulated and launched
Various standard systems are used across the Pan-Continent, such as chronology, currency standards, monster strength standards, etc. It can be said that Alkari is the embodiment of power and wisdom!
However, after the undead wave broke out in Dix, there seemed to be no movement in the Alkari Council. Lily only learned from Sophia that the Great Sage asked her to persuade all countries to unite to fight against the undead, but since then there has been no news about Alkari.
News of the Alkari Parliament came out... Is it true that the Alkari Parliament has fallen as Aisela said?
"So Aesera, what are you going to do?" Lily agreed with Aesera's statement, but it seemed more exciting to go on an adventure with the Dragon Spear... Lily was a little hard to make a decision for a while.
"We can go east to Blaeno." As soon as Ethera proposed, Lily immediately rejected it: "No, Van and I just came from Blaeno, and we heard that there was a coup in Blaeno. Now
The country will definitely not be too stable. Do you still remember the female knight riding a Pegasus who shot half of the giant snake to pieces a few days ago? She is an important figure in the Kingdom of Blaino, and she seems to have fled to the country due to the coup.
Here we come…”
Eisela doesn't think so: "No, you are thinking too much. First, you should not have much connection with Blaino's senior management, and even if there is a coup, you should not be able to find you. Secondly, even if Blaino
The country is unstable. We can also find a relatively remote mountain village in the south to hide and wait for the disaster to be over. Third, now that Otez City is only separated by a sea from Dix, the undead may come by sea...
...You have to know that those bones can float on the water. So the Orton Territory is actually very dangerous now. The fourth and most important point is that the masterminds behind the scenes seem to be targeting the Dragon Spear, although I don’t know what we are now
Are you also being targeted, but if we continue to act with these mercenaries, I'm afraid there will be more powerful undead appearing... With our current strength... I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."
"I didn't expect you to be so smart, Esera! When I first saw you, I thought you were just a little loli who didn't understand anything~" Lily looked at Esera in surprise, meeting Esera for the first time.
At that time, her soft and frail behavior looked no different from that of an ordinary little girl. Seeing her extremely alert appearance now, as if she was a little brat pretending to be an adult, Lily burst into laughter.
"I, I wasn't afraid that you would hurt me at the beginning..." Hearing Lily's words, Aisela's face turned red to her ears, lowered her head and complained softly, "At that time, you suddenly knocked me out, I thought it was an encounter.
I fell in love with a bad guy..."
"Hehe~ Little Essera is not afraid~ We are not bad people~" Alison stroked Essera's little head and said as if coaxing a child, "If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell your sister, sister
Help you...help you...help you bully you back."
Aisela burst out laughing and avoided Alison's smoothing hand: "I am not a child. Although I am shorter, I am indeed nineteen years old!"
"Oh~ touch it again, touch it again!" Alison was obviously dissatisfied with Aisela's behavior of avoiding her, so Aisela had to immediately change the topic: "Then what do you think?"
Lily was also a little unsure about paying attention. She turned her head and looked at Aurelia and Ji Ye, who had been eating silently. As a result, the answers given by the two were surprisingly consistent!
"I'll just follow you. I don't have anywhere I want to go right now."
"Master, wherever you go, I will go."
Lily couldn't help but sigh - why should I make the decision? After thinking about it, Lily finally made up her mind: "Even if we hide, where can we hide? I heard from Sister Sophia that this disaster may overturn the entire continent. Even if
You can't hide for a while, so it's better to face the difficulties openly! The mercenaries following the Dragon Spear might be able to find some clues about the mastermind behind the scenes."
In fact, Lily was thinking more. Her intuition told her that the black energy was definitely related to the mastermind behind the manipulation of the undead! The red Lily who appeared in the dream might have appeared because of the black energy... In short, we must unravel the black energy.
The secret behind the anger must be found first.
Esera did not show a surprised expression, and seemed to have expected Lily's decision: "In that case, let's continue to stay. However, can I ask you to do something?"
Lily tilted her head and asked curiously: "What happened? Did you find clues about the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Esera shook her head and said shyly: "Well... I am a necromancer, and most of my strength is actually reflected by my undead servants. My undead servants were all damaged when I fled, so...
...So I would like to ask you to do me a favor and help me find corpses that can be used to make undead servants..."
"I see. So you don't dare to go to the cemetery alone? Hehe~ Children are children!" Lily looked proud, but she didn't know that she was actually a little shorter than Aisela.
Ethera looked at Lily angrily, her gray eyes showing a look of shame and annoyance: "We are not going to the cemetery! If you steal the corpse, you will be sanctioned by Dix's law enforcement team. I am talking about the corpse of the monster.
...Although going to the cemetery alone is a bit... Anyway, in short, we necromancers are not allowed to use human bones to summon the undead, and the strength of ordinary human bones is not as high as that of monsters..."
"Are you going to capture monsters?" Lily immediately became excited. Speaking of another world, decisively fighting monsters to upgrade them is the right way! As a result, she came here to run around and fight bosses all day long.
I don’t have time to level up...how can I do this? How can I beat the boss if my attributes can’t keep up? I should definitely find time to level up. That’s the way to go!
Esera shook her head and said weakly: "Um... it shouldn't be possible for wild monsters to appear near Otez, right? Even if they did appear, they should have been cleared away by city guards and mercenaries long ago, and it would be difficult for us to find them.
Their...I mean...go to the market to see if there are any materials that can be used..."
When Lily heard that she was not going to fight monsters, she immediately withered. She put her head on the dining table and listlessly gave Aisela some ideas: "What do you think of the big bug next to Fan? I asked Fan to kill it.
I just have to be an undead servant for you... Really... Why does that guy Fan want to become a summoner? Does he want to collect six pets to fight the Four Heavenly Kings? I really can't figure it out..."
Seeing Lily's expression of no feeling, Aisela was too embarrassed to ask her to go to the market with her to pick out the corpses of monsters: "How about... let's go to the countryside and have a look? Maybe we will encounter monsters..."
"Okay!!!" Lily jumped up immediately, but Aurelia immediately pushed her back to the chair, "Fight the monster~Fight the monster~"
Seeing Lily looking so happy, Aisela smiled helplessly - who is the child...
After lunch, Ethela left Otez City through the west gate with the cheerful Lily, because Otez is surrounded by the sea to the east and north, and only when you go out to the west can you see the mountains and forests. But as Ethela said
In that way, all the monsters that are harmful to humans in the outer reaches of the mountain forest have been cleared away. This made Lily complain that there is no such thing as an animal protection association in this world. She has never seen a few decent monsters since she arrived in Gasaiin.
I didn’t even see a slime! Doesn’t this world know how to protect endangered creatures?!
"In other novels, the protagonist has defeated many monsters..." Lily muttered feebly as she wandered aimlessly in the forest. Although some wild beasts often appear here, most of them are herbivorous.
There is no harm to humans. Asera's ideal target is monsters or beasts with relatively strong physiques. After all, most corpses cannot use skills such as magic after being transformed into undead. They mainly rely on strong physiques and
Fight with immortality.
Just as Lily was complaining, a strange scream came from the sky. It sounded like it was some kind of bird, but the sound was too loud! It was obvious that the opponent was not small.
Lily raised her head and saw a big bird just flying through the sky...wait! Why does that bird have opal hair!
"What is that?" Lily asked, pointing to the strange bird that flew quickly over everyone's heads.
Others obviously also saw the strange bird with Oppai. Aurelia frowned and explained to Lily: "That's a harpy. There should be their settlements around. It's better for us to be careful. That group of
It’s not easy to deal with annoying guys either.”
"Hey? Hey? Harpy? Is it a monster?" Lily immediately became excited - after walking for so long, she finally saw the legendary monster! Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to jump out and fight to give away experience.
"Harpies are indeed monsters." Esera explained to Lily, "But most of the time we don't regard them as monsters, because their intelligence level is not much different from humans, and some harpies are also
They can speak human language. Although they occasionally go to nearby villages to catch some livestock to make food, they rarely attack humans, so we generally treat them as equally intelligent life forms - these are what the Monster Manual says
.Lily, are you trying to catch their attention?"
Lily put her hands on her hips and said nonchalantly: "Of course! It's so hard to encounter a monster, how can you let her go? At worst, just give her a good beating and then let her go..."
Asera couldn't help but feel ashamed - Aren't we here to find the materials to make undead servants? What's the point of beating them up and letting them run away...
"Well...I heard that harpies usually live in groups..." Aisela tried to dispel Lily's dangerous thoughts, but she obviously underestimated Lily's desire to seek death.
"That's nothing! If we can't beat him, we just run away!" Lily interrupted Ethera confidently, and ran happily towards the direction where the harpy disappeared. Aurelia sighed, shook her head, and followed.
