Something's wrong with my undead

"This is it."

Issik personally led everyone to the corridor leading to the meditation room.

There was no magic lamp in front, so it should have been pitch black, but there was an Aldes wood picture frame nailed every one meter on the walls on both sides, with branches sticking out from it, as if two rows of soldiers were fighting each other, with branches growing thickly.

The pale golden fruit hanging above emits a faint light, making this scene a bit strange.

Previously, Mr. Sa sent out a group message seeking information, and at this time he had already received replies from Aurora, Todd, and Lavan.

The existence of Berio means that the message does not need to run from Nibra back to McCalla, and then be transmitted from the node there to here. Instead, it is transmitted directly in the "local area network" of this city, and the loss is reduced by more than 90%. Therefore, it is very useful to be able to barely communicate with local plants even though they are half-dead.

The information obtained from the Wilderness House pointed out that Gould did not appear out of thin air, but was an indigenous spirit from Nibra with a well-established background.

As early as fifteen years ago, he was Issik's staff and also the lord's magic advisor.

Issek did not lie. In the battle to purify the undead not long ago, Gould was indeed washed by Collins's Hellfire and Paladin Elian's Holy Flame. If the Lord of the City hadn't saved him at all costs, I'm afraid Gould is gone now.

However, although people survived, they also turned into this ugly appearance.

It is said that he used to be handsome and had a very sexy voice. He was the object of desire of many women in Nibra City.

The disfigurement and voice loss were a huge blow. Gould was depressed for half a month before he recovered.

If it were just this information, it would seem that the matter was very simple - Gould was completely despondent and was simply the perfect host to be parasitized by strange beasts.

But the information from Gray Swan Tavern and Lavan said otherwise.

The former pointed out that there had never been any rumors about Gould's affair with any woman in the city - he was not suspected of being straight.

The latter said that Nibra's "sister gang" headed by Abram also had nothing to do with this handsome boy - he was not suspected to be a crook.

Generally speaking, this guy is not close to either sex.

Mr. Sa: "I know, this guy's xp is a strange beast, so it's a perfect fusion."

Catching Sheep: "What does this have to do with …”

Gould was standing next to Issek, with Berio's branches one meter away, nothing unusual.

Capture the Sheep: "None of this is true. Either the strange beast parasitizing him is stronger than Berio - then let's just forget about it - or he is not controlled at all."

Megumin: "Indeed, I don't think it's right. Even if a strange beast takes advantage of the situation, it's impossible to perfectly play a person in such a short time. If Gould really has been with Issek for fifteen years , the latter should be very familiar with him and can easily detect the wrong details. "

Mr. Sa: "Sister Hui, to be honest, have you fallen into trouble again?"

Hui Hui: "Yes, yes, I will knock anyone who I catch, even you and Zhu Yang."

Mr. Sa: "vocal, what a sharp counterattack!"

Zhu Sheep: "Look, I asked you to stop talking, now she will understand."

Mr. Sa: "My, my, my, I didn't expect that someone like me, Mr. Sa, would become the experience package of the sinister sister..."

While chatting with the two of them, Megumin pretended to be an expert and stepped forward to check Berio's branches.

At the same time, he also asked behind the scenes:

"Berio, why do you have to stick out these branches?"

"Because it feels comfortable this way."

Comfortable?

Megumin's heart moved: "You mean there is something inside the castle walls that makes you resist?"

Berio thought for a few seconds: "Yes! The further you go outside, the more uncomfortable it becomes."

Megumin suddenly thought of the huge lifeless tree outside.

It seems that the tree is like the undead body of Quelkus, carrying most of the black mud from the magic network for it, so it became like that.

Although the trees here are not the center for receiving information from the Magic Network, they are inevitably contaminated.

So Berio spontaneously understood this method of self-rescue - using the castle as a boundary, cutting off most of his body, and desperately retracting himself into his shell.

Is this some kind of memory engraved in the bones?

"So most of your body is hidden in the meditation room?" she asked again.

Berio: "Yes, the place was crowded about three thousand days and nights ago, so I came out."

Megumin: "No room left at all?"

Berio: "It's rotten wood! That door is made of Aldes wood! There is no gap at all!"

Megumin couldn't help but take a second look - the outside of the door was decorated, and the material could not be seen at all.

Presumably, this lord is also afraid that others will discover the abnormality here.

What a risk, I almost got scammed.

"ok, I get it."

Since the other party said so, she also believed that the tree would not lie.

So, she pointed to the meditation room and asked Issyk:

"That door is actually Aldes wood, right? If my calculations are correct, it couldn't be opened at least ten years ago."

"This……"

Issyk was shocked again!

The learned Zan Luo man deduced this fact just by looking back and forth in the corridor...

No, it’s not an inference, it’s a rigorous calculation! Sure enough, I read that right!

"Did I guess wrong?" Huihui frowned deliberately.

"No, your guess is absolutely correct! The meditation room was occupied a long time ago." Issik said ashamedly: "That door is indeed Aldes wood, and the time is correct. I successfully blocked it eleven years ago. As for it, most of the changes started half a year ago... How did you know?"

"It's easy and just requires some basic common sense to calculate."

Huihui waved her hand:

"If it was just a guess before, now I can basically confirm that this tree is controlled by a strange beast.

“It went from an ancient tree that never lied to a monster with extraordinary sanity, so it turned that place into its base camp.

"Taking extreme measures now will inevitably cause it to resist. Maybe the entire castle, including the tree outside, will be demolished. There is only one way to solve the problem."

Issik hurriedly asked: "What?"

Megumin: "Let's go back to the Blight Scar and replace it with professional equipment. Only then can we solve the problem without damaging the structure of the castle."

When Renee told the story, she emphasized that this "special investigation team" was specifically designed to solve the blight. There were several powerful experts in the team, and their base was set up at the cleaned blight scar.

Because there are famous archaeologists like Ian Hodel involved, and the construction is led by the Velitas, and with the addition of the Nice people, even Issyk, who looks down on the Yankees and dwarves, has to admit that , compared to the so-called "McCarra is the savior", this group is more authoritative.

After all, it is Velitas, the Academy of Truth!

"Then how long will it take for you to come back?" he asked.

"Two days." Megumin said: "But it depends on Your Highness Renee... Can you take a step to speak?"

Issik was stunned: "Of course."

The two walked aside and lowered their voices.

——The reason why no soundproofing measures were used was purely out of etiquette and just for show.

The elves present were all very perceptive, and as Renee's guard, Megumin shouldn't be flirting with other lords.

"You must have heard of the Harmonic Meter invented by Professor Melvin Cummings, right?" Huihui asked.

Although Issek didn't know what a Harmonizer was, he knew that Melvin was an incredible professor, and he immediately nodded with great conviction.

"His Highness brought this equipment from Velitas. It is the key to fighting against the void and strange beasts, and it is also the key to solving this problem, but..." Megumin sighed: "That thing is very expensive, very expensive."

Issik said solemnly: "I understand, how can I let His Highness waste his efforts in vain! How many gold coins are needed?"

"No, gold coins are not the key." Huihui shook her head: "The key is the charging stone."

Issik suddenly understood.

"Use the charging stone to settle, no problem!"
