Something's wrong with my undead

Teacher Xia looked up at the loli in the black skirt who was standing with her hands behind her back and her head tilted.

She was staring at the evil spirit Roman trapped in the cage, with Dmitri, who looked as pale as death, standing beside him.

"So what's the situation now?" asked Teacher Xia.

Wei Dianyuan: "Didn't I just ask you? Not long after you came down, there was a big commotion underground. We wanted to come down but couldn't find the way. We were struggling, and then someone came and brought us down together."

President Sa: "What's this? Is Jitile going to rebel? Should we fight or not?"

Da Huang: "What the hell, this is their home turf. The best case scenario is that I take you guys away and leave Dylan here as a hostage."

At this time, Teacher Xia saw the loli stretch out her hand, with a light blue ball of light in her palm.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurried over and asked:

"What is this?"

Nikis looked at him with a strange expression.

"What should I call you? A strong man who does good things without leaving his name? Oh no, you left your name. You told us to go to Macara to find Heine if we have anything to do."

--ah? ? ?

Teacher Xia was stunned at first, and then his ears buzzed.

Wei Dianyuan: "What the hell is going on?"

Da Huang: "What did you do?"

President Sa: "You secretly helped Heine gain reputation without telling your brothers, right?"

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Teacher Xia quickly told them what was going on inside and asked Nikis:

"You were the one who lifted Dylan's 'Promotion Trial'?"

"You can say that, but in essence you helped him refuse the 'promotion'. You said that he didn't need the promotion, so those shadows who obeyed you retreated."

At this moment, Nikis's face had a kind of playfulness that was appropriate for her age (appearance age).

This has never been seen on the face of the "bad woman" before - that dark loli who is as ruthless as a snake and scorpion and will do anything for the Shadow Temple always has a sullen face, how could she be so relaxed?

"Thanks to you - or the Macara people's overt and covert 'destruction' of the order in the North over the past period of time, as well as a certain existence that spread from Macara, the restraint of the shadow has now weakened a lot, so weak that I can talk to you about this matter without worrying about causing chaos.

"So, after you 'refuse to join' on his behalf, this trial can end safely, and this thing does not cause my anger - I don't think the Gitlers betrayed me. They are also victims in this matter."

She raised her hand and threw the thing over.

Teacher Xia quickly caught it, but was immediately sucked into the dagger.

"What on earth is this?"

"I don't know, but you know it clearly in your hearts, so I won't ask any more questions."

Nikis looked at Dylan. "The more you know, the more you have to manage, and the more you are offended. I can tolerate betrayal that I don't know about, but once it is exposed, I must make corresponding arrangements. Do you understand?"

Understand!

This matter doesn't count!

This time all four players present understood.

The most discussed feature of Nikis among players in the forum is that even the smallest matters have to be weighed.

At that time, the faith of Shadow had already reached the point where it existed in name only. The infiltration and high pressure from outside made the believers of the Temple look like heretics to everyone.

This seems quite sad now.

But when playing games, who cares about this...just treat it as fun. The more she cares, the louder the players laugh.

After all, she is a bad woman.

Teacher Xia: “I understand.”

"Then I'll take this thing away, and you can handle the rest by yourselves."

She imprisoned the evil spirit Roman in the cage, packed it up and prepared to take it away. Before leaving, she said again: "I know about Delmines. Thank you."

"Wait a minute!"

Teacher Xia quickly flashed in front of the other person.

"I mentioned Heine's name in it, what will happen?"

He asked somewhat nervously.

He was just talking nonsense in that space, but if the name "Heine" was really written into the collective will of the people of Nice as some kind of brand, God knows whether it would be good or bad.

"Lady Death Speaker, are you still nervous?"

Nikis seemed to see the sun rising from the west and couldn't help laughing a few times.

But then she waved her hand indifferently:

"There is influence, but not much. It is probably equivalent to his popularity in Godro City. Some people will suddenly find this name very pleasant to the ear. He represents trust, prestige, reliance, etc. He is someone they can rely on and turn to for help. Then, after dinner, they will spread this cognition, arouse discussions among others, and either strengthen or weaken it, and eventually it will become different opinions among different people."

Oh, that's alright...

Teacher Xia was immediately relieved.

It just had to be the hatred lock he imagined.

"…But if one day, he does not respond to this expectation, those who have high expectations of him will become a clown to be laughed at by others, and he himself will be hated by these people, and the hatred will be doubled."

Nikis added: "Even though he didn't know about it from the beginning to the end, this is the price."

After saying that, she left, leaving cleanly and neatly, leaving Teacher Xia standing there in a daze.

At this time, he had just finished telling his brothers about what happened in the spiritual space and happened to respond to Nikis's last words.

President Sa: "So did you get the reputation or not? Why does it sound like it's better not to get it?"

Da Huang: "I can only say that if Heine wants to come to the Shadow Temple as a regional representative to help his servant teacher, it will definitely be useful, but the problem is that he can't do that. But if this place collapses in the future, those fleeing Nice people will remember that there was such a person who promised something. If you don't fulfill your promise, they will instantly turn from friends to enemies and fight with you, which is equivalent to losing your reputation."

Teacher Xia: "No way, I just drove the Gundam for a few minutes, is the price so high? And this reward is too bad, isn't it?"

Da Huang: "That may not be the case. I suspect that you have missed out on all the real benefits. Apart from the thing in your dagger, your reputation may have also gone up, but you left Heine's name on it, so all the good things belong to you, and all the bad things are Heine's fault. Hey, he really loves you well."

President Sa: "My goodness, Xia, you are the one who is really cheating me. After all this fuss, you are the one who really wants to divide the luggage!"

Teacher Xia: "?? It's none of my business. I'm here to save Dylan!"

Oh yeah, Dylan.

Several people quickly surrounded the two Gittiers.

Demetri watched as the circle went out and Roman was taken away.

Even though he had experienced many ups and downs, his expression was a little confused now, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Fortunately, Dylan was awake by then.

He looked slightly tired, but much better than his half and half look before.

After drinking a bottle of sedative and sobering potion, Dylan glanced at the magic circle, and finally looked at everyone.

"Let's go up and talk."

...

The players came from Delmines, carrying information about "a mole in Gittier".

Dylan had just experienced a thrilling ceremony and vaguely sensed that something was wrong inside Gittier.

As the two sides shared information, especially after the forgotten stories about the Solace Empire were revealed, things gradually became clear.

They did not avoid Dmitri, because half of the old man's body was buried in the ground. Ordinary people like him were not directly affected by the shadow will, but were constrained by public opinion from above.

Similarly, what he knows and what he thinks will not directly penetrate into his will.

So Dylan asked him immediately:

"When did Roman decide to make me the clan leader ahead of time?"

Dmitri thought for a moment and said, "It seems like he suddenly found me half a month ago."

"That's no problem."

Dylan nodded. "The 'eternal spell' used by Mr. Solace when he was still an emperor is very similar to the existence of 'gods' to some extent, but he does not have a broad base of believers. Instead, he lets a few powerful individuals pass on their soul roots as strong believers. In addition, he has his own sound independent consciousness, so he can maintain 'eternity'.

"However, Macara has isolated the gods from their gaze. Since the gods from the outside world cannot see there, if a god enters there, even if it is a 'god-like being', the connection between him and his strong believers will be cut off. Therefore, the soul root here is only an empty shell, which gives certain wills an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Teacher Xia suddenly realized: "So that's why you mentioned two shadow wills?"

"Yes." Dylan nodded and said, "The blue giant you see is actually the shadow will that has been 'captured' by this soul source - it has been purified, separated from the collective, and exists as an individual.

"However, it has already lost its self when it merges into the group, so the new 'self' is completely given by the soul root.

"It thinks it is Solace, but in fact it is nothing. It doesn't even know who Solace is, or what 'untouchables' are.

“Those are the information left in the roots, that is, the earliest information passed down from the ancestor Alan Jitile. They do not have detailed content, only simple knowledge of names and titles.

"Even after four thousand years, even if only instinct remains in his soul, he can still control and block the pollution from faith..."

Having said this, he looked back at Dmitri.

"Then, a new question arises. What did Alan Gitile, who arrived in the North four thousand years ago, leave behind in Delmines? I know that Gitile has some underground businesses, but I never thought that they would be related to the Cave of a Thousand Souls and the Ghost Lord."
