Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 196 Bad water is contagious

An alarm sound like some kind of shrill insect buzzed throughout the building instantly.

The wooden floors and stairs were activated one after another, and the tree men patrolling everywhere were immediately sent to Hui Yue's room like goods on a conveyor belt.

Renee was stunned for only a moment before reacting.

"You will regret this."

She looked at Hui Yue in disappointment, then jumped out of the window.

Hui Yue did not stop him, but watched the other party do this.

She was suddenly covered in a layer of silver-plated light armor while she was in mid-air, and then a crack opened in the space in front of her, and her whole body was sucked in.

"Are you okay?"

Security personnel rushed over.

Huiyue shook her head and pointed to the window.

"She escaped from here."

"As long as you're okay..."

The elf breathed a sigh of relief, then began to inquire and investigate, and finally placed Hui Yue in a nearby room, with security guards at the door and outside the window.

Not long after, Ryan Antlers left and returned.

It could be seen that the tree shepherd elder was a little angry, but the look he looked at Hui Yue was very pleased.

"You did a great job. What did the three princesses say to you?"

"She said some stupid things that didn't make sense."

Hui Yue snorted, as if she was very disdainful.

"She said that the Council of Elders wanted to imprison me in Mourning Wood City and make me a bouquet of flowers in a vase, a superficial hero.

"You also said that you should entrust the blight scars in the Whispering Forest to me as a territory, and then work with me to heal the blight there.

"This is simply more outrageous than a fairy tale to deceive children! Oh, by the way..."

Hui Yue added: "She seemed not to give up, saying that I would definitely regret it, and that my mind would definitely change the next time she sees me... I can't understand, are everyone in the royal family so arrogant?"

Ryan's expression was obviously stiff.

But his face was originally like tree bark, so there was nothing much to tell about it.

"Their arrogance is natural."

He spoke slowly:

"And unlike the royal family, which has close ties with the Golden People, her backer is the founder of the Magic Network, the mage of the Institute of Truth..."

"Mage? Did she disappear out of thin air by means of a mage?"

"Yes, that's the escape scroll."

"What is that?" Hui Yue asked curiously.

Ryan didn't want to explain these trivial things, but now he had to appease the important person in front of him.

So he patiently said: "It is an expensive space teleportation prop that is extremely harmful to itself, and the location must be anchored in advance and corresponding protective measures prepared."

In order to prevent the other party from continuing to speak, he simply said: "I have to search for their anchor point hidden in Mourning Wood City, so I can rest early."

"Can I go around the city?" Hui Yue asked, "This is my first time coming to Mourning Wood City. I promised my team members to bring them something back."

This question made Ryan silent for a while.

"I will let someone protect you secretly."

"Thank you very much."

Ryan saw nothing but genuine gratitude in her eyes.

He nodded, turned and left.

After closing the door, Huiyue stood for a while and then collapsed to the ground.

She gasped for air like a dehydrated fish, her chest heaving violently.

So exciting.

If it were her before, she might have followed Renee as soon as her brain got hot.

But after experiencing the night of the Blight Mark, Quelkus' memory was digested, and her mentality also changed faintly.

In comparison, Heine's way of talking is truly equal.

When he handed the blade of Quelkus to himself, he also advised himself not to believe others' "one-sided words".

This is sincerity.

Just like Renee said, they are indeed the same type of people, they only believe in themselves.

So this time Hui Yue still believed in herself.

She threw the question back to the Council of Elders, emphasizing that the royal family had not given up.

As a result, the council will re-evaluate her.

It would be great if the "scale of awards" given to her could be reduced.

She has nothing else to ask for now, she just wants to take people back to the Whispering Forest.

What a good life of eating five meals a day, let whoever loves it live it.

Judging from Ryan's final reaction, she clearly succeeded.

Even if the other party still has thoughts about you, they won't go too far.

Thinking of these and the secret that Renee said, she had mixed emotions for a while.

Once upon a time, the words Mourning Wood City and Council of Elders were extremely sacred in her mind.

I didn't expect this place to be so full of dirt and evil.

She couldn't help but think of Mr. Sa.

No wonder that senior wanted to take some people away from here by name...

Could it be that he had already seen through this?

"A living person is actually more pure than a dead heroic soul."

Hui Yue sighed, then quickly cheered up and left the room.

……

Late at night, in the heart of Oak Irukus.

A group of knob-like roots suddenly rose from the ground, and then turned into a human figure.

He walked to Ryan Antlers, who had his eyes closed:

"grown ups."

Ryan opened his eyes: "She went back?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Where has she gone?"

"She first went to Oak Square and then followed the Elders' Trail to Garden Market..."

Subordinates reported everything in detail.

Hui Yue's movements resembled a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.

But the difference is that she started wandering out from the inner city.

"...There are some little things during this period that you may be interested in."

"what's up?"

"She was particularly interested in some young children. For example, there was a juggler named Stellanis in the boulevard, and there was a little girl named Sanglaise in a restaurant. She asked about their ages. I wrote down their names and left some money with them, as if I wanted to win them over.”

Ryan was stunned for a few seconds: "Who are those people?"

"Unfashionable little characters. They are basically the children of mercenaries, single parents or even families without relatives. They are too old and powerful to register as mercenaries, so they can only make a living in this way. As far as I know, the people in Cuiye Court are basically She was screened like this, so she probably has an occupational disease."

Ryan was thoughtful and suddenly asked: "Are there many young people like them in the city?"

"There are more than a thousand such teenagers under the age of 50 in the Boulevard Alley. If you go further out, the number will be at least three times as high as in places like Youmu Bay and Nardolan Valley. Most of them are unregistered exiles. .”

"Have you ever done a qualification review?"

After a slight hesitation, the subordinate nodded and said: "This part of the city has basically been done. Those with outstanding qualifications have been absorbed by the Shade Guard. The population outside the city cannot be registered and it is difficult to carry out work, but talents are like buds that sprout from the ground. If it is covered up, there will generally be no mistakes.”

Rui En nodded slightly, pondered and then slowly said:

"Stop the awarding ceremony for now, cancel all official propaganda work, use the tree-lined alley as the boundary, let the news outside, and say that the blight of the Whispering Forest has been resolved, and the hero is in the city.

“If she plans to leave during this period, she will spread the word that the hero who defeated the withered hero will return to the battlefield.

“If there are many people following her by then, we will help her and grant her that area in the name of the Council of Elders.

"If there's no one around, let her go."

Subordinate: "Yes, sir. There is another thing. The sentinels discovered the invisible airship, but the ancient tree guards failed to keep it."

Ryan frowned: "Why?"

"We don't know either, but it did escape the attack. But thanks to the samples brought by Ms. Gray Moon this time, we found similar corrosion marks on the wreckage of the airship to those on the Hades' armor, so we can judge that they Applying phase technology to airships.”

"Have they already been able to do this?"

Ryan murmured, then waved his hand.

"Go back."

"Yes."

……

……

The western stronghold of Blightscar.

Huiyu fell from the sky, with a person on its back and two skeletons in its claws.

It was Mr. Sa and Mr. Xia who accompanied Heine to the Withering Scar to collect information.

Heine guessed that the Withered Trace would be visited repeatedly by many people in the near future, so every time he went there, he would take Teacher Xia with him and ask him to go around first to explore the reality before going to the ventricle himself.

The appointment time with Huihui was in the middle of the night, and choosing such a time in the underworld was also to prevent accidents in the middle.

As soon as he landed, Karl came up to him and said excitedly: "Is there anything going on today?"
