Something's wrong with my undead

After ending the call, Luo Xian carefully put away the bronze mirror, and only after confirming again and again that there was no death energy in the air did he put away all his disguises.

The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.

He paced back and forth in the tent, with many thoughts tangled in his mind, like a storm or an undercurrent surging under the water.

Suddenly, a subtle detail was pulled out from the rising sediment.

Three days ago, when he passed through Ventus, he heard this piece of news:

The Windtalker, Lord Tillemans, had been away for a while not long ago, and the reason for her departure was the visit of the Third Princess Renee.

At that time, Venus experienced some violent fluctuations, as if caused by the arrival of His Highness.

Coincidentally, Melvin had set out three days ago...as if he knew he was coming.

——Could it be that she is also connected to the elves of Ventus?

Luo Xian felt that he had found a breakthrough in the problem.

He knew that Melvin had always been interested in the spirits of nature. As an expert in studying the void, some of her actions were inevitably instigated by Veritas.

Of the two battle mages accompanying him, Derek was more technically inclined.

During a conversation, the other party told him that the spirit of nature was related to clearing the redundant information of the magic network.

Therefore, since Melvin was able to set up a layout in the city of Nibra, he might have already extended his tentacles here.

Thinking of this, he took out his magic wand and waved it gently. Two translucent secret notes flew out from the gap like butterflies and flew straight to Calvin and Derek's tent.

A few minutes later, two people appeared in front of him out of thin air.

"What's wrong?" Calvin asked.

"If it's Melvin Cummings, is it possible that she temporarily hibernates the communication station in Whispering Forest and instead leaves herself a dedicated communication line to keep in touch with Ventus?" he asked straight to the point.

Calvin's face hardened and he looked at Derek, who was much better at this than he was.

Finally, the professional spoke up, "I've said before that the root cause of the paralysis of the magic network is that the accumulation of garbage exceeds its own purification speed. But if it's the Queen of Opry, who has studied the void field, she might be able to let some nodes bear more garbage and leave a gap for her own use.

"But since the magic network in Mercury Forest is normal, she must encrypt the nodes so that she can use them here without being noticed... Considering that Dusk Valley is the intersection of the two, if she really wants to deploy nodes, it can only be near here."

Luo Xian asked hurriedly: "Is there any way to verify it?"

"can."

Derek nodded and took out a silvery metal disc.

When he activated the detector, a blinding golden color appeared on it.

Derek frowned, "No, the interference here is too strong. We need to stay away from those holy light cans."

"I'll figure it out."

Lothian walked out of the tent.

A few minutes later, the three people who were allowed to leave the camp, searched in Dusk Valley, and actually found a special area on a hill ten kilometers north of the camp.

"Anti-detection, anti-interference, and shielding against magical beast perception..."

Even without digging it up, Derek was sure this was what he was looking for.

"And there is a special kind of 'repulsion' here, which is completely different from the common detection interference."

Derek was a little surprised. He was a member of the Institute of Truth and was armed to the teeth, including his mind - he possessed the most advanced knowledge in the world about the void and the magic network.

He didn't expect that Opry's node technology had advanced to the point where he couldn't understand it...

How could he know that these were the nodes that Tillemans had arranged along the way with the equipment given by Ian.

It would be impossible for him to understand the combination of Yuanling technology and the dwarf's totem technique.

But from some perspectives, he was right.

This is indeed encrypted, and there is indeed only one communication line.

The premonition was confirmed, and Luo Xian's face did not look good.

He looked at the two moons setting on the top of the mountain, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.

He estimated that Melvin's men would arrive by dawn at the latest, and they would most likely be coming for him.

"Let's withdraw from that camp and return to Mercury Forest first!"

Calvin and Derek looked at each other. Although they were surprised, they didn't ask any more questions.

After all, they have been working together for so long, and they know Luo Xian's strength. Since the other party has made the decision, they can just execute it. Anyway, he will be responsible if there is any problem.

Soon, under Alpite's cold gaze, the group left the camp and returned to the Mercury Forest along the same path.

After a night of hard work, the others were already exhausted.

After they all fell asleep, Luo Xian cast a powerful invisibility spell on himself and secretly left the camp.

He returned along the same route and came to a cave somewhere in the middle of the two camps.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the second line of insurance.

Here he could observe the situations of the two camps at the same time. If the mystic team was attacked, he would immediately find Albite and tell her that Gawain was not dead, and that Melvin had contacts with Gawain and Macara, and they might be planning a blasphemous act.

This way he would have a greater chance of surviving, and could also involve Eternal Dawn and raise the severity of the matter to a higher level.

Only in this way could he avoid fleeing in disgrace to the Ash Front, where he lived as a necromancer.

Otherwise, even if he could successfully return to Veritas with the truth, he would still face endless pursuit and blockade from giants like Opry Corporation and the Basque Chamber of Commerce.

He had already experienced this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen from a renowned senior battle mage to his current state.

Leaning against the cold stone wall, memories of the past came to Luo Xian's mind. The deeply suppressed despair and dissatisfaction were like poison, nourishing his corrupt soul and making him move forward on the path of being an enemy of the living.

...

High in the sky, beside the guardrail of the "Fire Copper" McFlurry, Melvin used his farsighted eyes to see the signal sent by the agent below.

"It's unbelievable... they actually separated on their own initiative?" She was stunned and said, "Is this some kind of conspiracy?"

In fact, the airship arrived here before the two teams met for the first time.

With the help of Aphrodite's special perception, they were the first to discover that the people of Eternal Dawn were camped ahead.

But after weighing the power gap between the two sides, they did not act rashly, but planned to wait for the other party to leave.

But then the two teams met up.

This stumped the group, and even their sheep hunters couldn't think of a good solution.

If all the brothers are here, there is still room for fighting.

But with the number of people we have now, it is enough to launch a sneak attack on a mage camp, but adding paladins is far from enough.

But who knew that an unexpected change would occur immediately afterwards——

They disbanded the group!

why?

"Could it be because the Lothians and the Luku people don't get along?" asked Zhuoyang.

He is not Huihui, and he doesn't know much about Fox Shadow. Even if the mission of this mage NPC involves some spellcasting techniques exclusively for mages, it has nothing to do with him as a paladin.

“The possibility is too low.”

Melvin shook his head and said, "Since we can merge into one camp, there is no chance that Luoxian will cause any other trouble. After provoking Pavel Fedorov, his caution has almost seeped into his bones. He will never make such a low-level mistake."

"How did he offend Keywest security?"

The sheep catcher asked curiously.

Even someone as strong as Sister Hui only knew the general idea, so now that she had the chance, she wanted to eat the whole thing.

"It's just a little man's dream."

Melvin smiled disdainfully and then simply told the story.

The matter is not complicated. As players know, Lothian has always been the darling of the arena because of his 100% winning rate in duels. In addition, he is good at hype and has a humorous personality. Therefore, he has many fans in Veritas, a place with highly developed media.

In other words, he gradually became an "idol-like figure" and used his influence to make a lot of money and gain a certain social status, which gave him the idea of ​​continuing to climb up.

But unfortunately, the Veritas people who have operated on the island for more than 700 years have long formed a stable upper class around the six-member parliament and the elected house.

Luo Xian, a popular celebrity in the last 80 islands, is like a performing animal in the real aristocratic circle and has never been taken seriously.

This kind of heartfelt contempt and disdain is hidden beneath a friendly smile and elegant manner, and is only revealed inadvertently.

Luo Xian, who had just entered this level, did not notice it and thought he had really become friends with these people.

So, at a dinner party, after Pavel from Keywest Security made a joke about him, Loshian responded with a joke of the same level. The result was that no one else laughed out loud, but looked at him with a compassionate smile.

At that moment, Luo Xian finally saw clearly who were around him.

Too late.

Even though Pavel said nothing, the dinner went on as usual, but soon after that, Loxian was expelled from the arena.

After that, all his job applications were in vain. No one hired him and he had no exposure. He lost his source of income and his friends left him one after another. He disappeared from the public eye like a shooting star.

When the rent of the place he rented increased for no reason, he was forced to move to an island with a lower ranking and worse security.

Then there were frequent harassment, thefts at home, and disputes...

Each little thing was as light and ordinary as a piece of toilet paper, but when they overlapped layer by layer, they formed a thick cocoon that almost suffocated him.

Over time, no matter how slow he was, he knew that this was a punishment for himself and would continue until he disappeared completely.

In the end, Lothian turned to Lion King Trading Company.

This was the only place he could think of that would not scare Pavel.

The latter had extended an olive branch to him a few years ago, but he flatly rejected it at that time.

At this point, his treatment would naturally not be the same as before, so in his first year in the Lion King, he was sent to Naldelai, a place only slightly better than Macala.

You know, Macara is where third-level mages like Naga come from, but he is a sixth-level mage...

The meaning of "exile" is obvious.

Hearing this, the sheep-catcher's expression became strange - if he had one.

He didn't expect that Fox Shadow Luo Xian had such a past.

And these experiences are very similar to one person...

At the time when Huihui traveled through time, President Shin Sa launched an unprecedented sneak attack, directly mobilizing two Deep Water Wolves inside the Institute of Truth and having them summon Hades Guards in the Library of Truth to indiscriminately kill the core researchers.

The two people were Collins and Hilda.

Among them, Collins, like Lothian, came from a poor family, had great ambitions, and also offended the wrong people.

And a single glance from those in a higher position is enough to make them sink to the bottom of the abyss, never to be able to rise again.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Collins was recruited by the Archlich Vega when he was at rock bottom.

And Luo Xian is now in his most miserable time - in the game, he later turned things around because of the players, but this time there are no players.

So will he...

"Do you have a way to detect special nodes like the magic network communication station?" he asked.

After a slight hesitation, Melvin took out a silver-white metal disc.

"What are you going to do?"

"Look for a node nearby."

...

A few minutes later, on the hilltop that Luo Xian and his three companions had explored, Zhuoyang contacted Heine through the node.

Just one sentence "I lied to him" is enough to explain everything.

The only person who could chat with Heine from such a distance could be a traitor.

The only person who could be deceived by Heine was Melvin's intention.

Luo Xian was definitely overthinking it, which was why he moved out of the Luku camp as soon as possible.

"I will go to the Luku camp alone, and you take the others to attack the mystic team."

"what?"

Melvin turned his gaze away from the node device and widened his eyes.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Loshian has learned of your return, so he won't stay in any camp. Our attack on any of them will cause him to flee to another place immediately. This is the best solution."

"But……"

"If you don't have confidence in your fighting ability, I'll teach you a method to complete the task 100%."

"what?"

"Let McFlurry crash directly into the mage's camp, and then lead the men to guard the perimeter."

Melvin was shocked. Is it really that serious?

"This is an airship!"

"Do you think this method is stable?"

"I……"

Melvin was speechless for a moment, but she soon realized that she had been distracted by the other party's outrageous suggestion.

The crux of the problem is not here at all!

"Let's not talk about this for now. Do you want to deal with the entire Luku camp by yourself?"

Zhuoyang: "Don't worry about that. The fewer people there are, the stronger I am. Without you, I am invincible."

Melvin was speechless for a moment.

She once suspected that there was something wrong with the other person's soul and that he was talking nonsense.

She understood neither of these two arrangements.

But before setting off, the dwarf named Red emphasized that they must listen to the skeleton.

Fine.

Anyway, it wasn't her boat that was hit.

...

Five minutes later, the "Fire Bronze" McFlurry crashed into the camp of the Mystic Mage Corps.

Not only that, Melvin also detonated the disintegration array that was set up on the hull in advance.

As the decks corroded by the withering energy were completely destroyed, the magical wooden boards full of vitality and the light blue falcon eye stones carrying wind energy were completely liberated.

They were like dead branches and catkins, and as the flames shot up into the sky, they spread the heat waves to a range of nearly a thousand meters around the landing point.

No matter how fully armed and careful Calvin and Derek were, they could not guard against such a devastating blow.

Melvin also experienced what "saturation fire attack" means.

Everything is just like what Catching Sheep emphasizes——

"I'm glad everyone is alright."

He was referring, of course, to the Macalla people.

At this moment, she wrapped the sea of ​​fire with her perception and calmly watched for the survivors to come out.

——If any.

And the McCalla agents around her were not at all surprised by this outrageous order.

No, they don't think it's outrageous at all.

This was probably a huge shock to McCalla.

This was Melvin's first experience with the Macalla people's style of doing things and their way of thinking.

At this moment, a dazzling golden beam of light pierced the western sky, completely obscuring the Luku people's holy light beacon.

The faint light in the sky at this time seemed so dim in contrast.

Melvin was shocked:

"That is... the Court of Holy Light!?"
