Soul echo

Chapter 274 'Daily'

The flame in the fire jumped up angrily from the dripping fat, and slapped the piece of meat above it, but the three people sitting around the fire didn't care, they were still talking.

"This meat is so tough." Lily Lieber said with a frown.

You have to chew hard to break up the pieces of meat in your mouth. In addition, the meat itself is not delicious, which makes Lily, who grew up in a rich and well-equipped environment, feel very uncomfortable.

But it was just that she was not used to it. After complaining, Lily didn't say anything.

——As early as when she made up her mind to leave the palace, she was mentally prepared.

She cannot be used by others, but as long as she does not get married for a day, she will be an 'usable' target in the eyes of those great nobles.

Therefore, Lily Lieber chose to escape from that annoying upper class.

Since she chooses to escape, it means that she has abandoned her status as a 'princess', and naturally she no longer has rich clothes and fine food.

The adventurous life was far less interesting than she had imagined. Today they walked all day. Although they were sitting in the carriage and there was a stove, they would not feel cold. However, the stove can dispel the cold, but it cannot dispel the boredom.

In particular, she felt that Zhong Ye's students seemed to repel her a little, and they didn't get along very well with her.

"Is this how you adventurers usually live?"

After eating the piece of meat in her hand, Lili felt that she should rest her masticatory muscles and tongue, so she turned to look at Zhong Ye and Lilian.

The teacher and the student looked at each other, then Zhong Ye shook his head, "Other adventurers are not like this, our experience cannot be compared to ordinary adventurers... Let's put it this way, I have an ability, other than being infected by the abyss Besides, when any living creature saw me for the first time, it would not be hostile to me, and this became more obvious after I became an extraordinary person and my soul and body were completely fused.

"However, what is certain is that even this ability of mine cannot overwhelm the physiological reaction. For example, if a beast is extremely hungry, when it faces me, this ability of mine will not take effect."

Lilian suddenly realized, "It turns out that the reason why we didn't encounter wild beast attacks along the way is because of your ability, teacher?"

"That is to say, if you talk to strangers, they will subconsciously believe you?" Lily thought of another usage.

This is a magical skill for ordinary adventurers, after all, the identity of an 'adventurer' will bring negative effects.

But with Zhong Ye's appearance, even without this ability, ordinary people would still be willing to answer his questions.

Zhong Ye nodded, "Besides, it is easier for people who already have a good impression of me to increase their good opinion of me."

Lilian and Lily Liber's expressions froze, and they looked at Zhong Ye dully.

The barrage in front of Lilian's eyes also exploded, and everyone was posting the same barrage - [Isn't this the ability of the GAL hero? 】

"...No! You are very attractive!" Lily Lieber shook her head and threw out her mixed thoughts, "I have a crush on you because I have plans for you. And the 'having a good impression' you said definitely doesn't just refer to love."

"Yes." Zhong Ye nodded, suddenly grabbed a lump of snow beside him, rubbed his hands, then stood up with a long knife, lifted the thick cloth of the shed, and walked out.

They looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled, and followed out.

It was pitch black outside, at least with their eyesight, if the thick cloth was completely put down, they would not be able to see what it was like outside.

Standing outside the shed, feeling the cold wind blowing straight, they suddenly felt a little cold, so they shrank back.

"Chong, what's going on outside?"

"If it doesn't feel wrong, it should be the undead."

"Undead?"

Lily Lieber lifted the thick cloth and walked out. After walking a few steps, she went back and dragged her weapon out.

Before that, Lilian had already picked up the weapon, and put the bottle filled with holy water in the pocket of the jacket, using her own body temperature to keep it warm, so as not to be unable to pour it out when needed.

In addition, she did not forget to take out a torch and borrowed a flame from the fire.

The adventurous life of the past few months has made her a real adventurer, and she has her own coping plan in the face of emergencies.

For example, fighting at night, Zhong Ye can see everything clearly without flames, but she can't, she has to rely on torches, fires, and moonlight to see what the enemy looks like.

Behind Lilian, Lily Lieber also came out dragging her ax and spear.

"How can there be undead here?"

She glanced worriedly at Lilian's torch planted on the ground. The wildly dancing cold wind kept pulling the flames. Fortunately, the torch was an alchemy item, so the flames were not blown out by the strong wind.

"Is it the middle of the month today?" Lily took a deep breath, letting the cold fill her chest, and looked at Zhong Ye suspiciously.

"No." Zhong Ye also frowned.

This is the 'Kingdom Avenue', the road most commonly used by travelers between cities.

Logically speaking, since it was not the time of the blood moon, and it was close to a place where crowds gathered, there should not be undead.

As he and Lilian did before, it is not surprising to meet some undead who have not collapsed due to loss of power after the blood moon. However, this is not a remote place.

Hearing this, Lily frowned even deeper, bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

"...they must be returned to death."

As a princess, she cannot afford to turn her back on the future of the kingdom.

"I want to find out why."

Lily just opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she was stunned when she heard Zhong Ye say this.

Am I a princess or are you a princess?Why did you say what I said first?

"...Yes." Lily nodded, she knew that Zhong Ye was asking for her opinion.

At this time, Zhong Ye's eyes slanted, "Here we come."

Not long after the words fell, two ethereal ghosts flew out from the nearby woods, their shrieks merged with the cold wind, hitting the eardrums of the three of them.

Lilian had the quickest reaction. She immediately took out the holy water bottle from her clothes, flicked off the cork, and sprinkled the holy water on the light sword she had just drawn out.

Not long after the holy water fell on the sword, it was dried and frozen.

The ghosts rushed over, Zhong Ye brazenly drew his sword, and the 'Qi' transmitted to the blade easily melted one of the ghosts.

Another undead flew past him and rushed towards Lilian and the others.

Lilian didn't get a chance to make a shot. She saw Lily Lieber slide her hands on the handle of the ax gun, and the ax lit up with flames.

Then, Lily Lieber let out a long breath, swung the ax and spear, and smashed at the attacking ghost.

The flaming ax blade tore the ghost in half with relative ease, and the remaining ectoplasm was blown away in the wind amidst screams.

Those two ghosts were just the vanguard. Behind them, there were noisy footsteps in the woods, and there were some sounds of bones bumping in between.

Lily Lieber was breathing. It didn't take her much energy to kill the ghost just now, but she was extremely surprised that there were other undead behind them.

Tonight is not the night of the blood moon. Why do those different types of undead creatures gather together?
After a while, some figures came out of the woods. Looking at them, Lily Lieber only felt her scalp go numb.

——There shouldn't be so many undead here!
What happened to her country?Why did these unexpected situations happen just after the evil god descended?
Just when Lily was in shock, Zhong Ye and Lilian rushed forward.

The cold stiffens and slows the movements of the living, but it does the same for the undead—as long as they have bodies.

The blade easily split those corpses, and the undead couldn't make any effective counterattacks, so they were killed by Zhong Ye and Lilian.

When Lily wanted to step forward and rush into the battlefield, all the undead returned to death under the tacit cooperation of Zhong Ye and Lilian.

Pieces of meat and broken bones were scattered in the snow, even if she could only see a little bit, Lily was extremely surprised.

Zhong Ye walked back to the place where he was standing, pulled out the scabbard that was inserted into the ground, and put the long knife back into the sheath, "It's getting late, rest this morning, and go to the woods tomorrow to see if we can find any clues."

Lilian also came back after him, her expression normal, as if she had just done something ordinary.

For her it was true, but for Lily Lieber...

"……it is good."

The 'former' princess walked back with a complicated expression. Before she lifted the thick cloth and entered the shed, she couldn't help but glance back, and then took a light breath.

——Is this Zhong Ye's 'daily life'?
