unreliable adventure

Last time I talked about the survivors in the town—the group of brainless zombies ate most of my rotten meat, and now I urgently need to regroup, hopping on one foot and moving to the cemetery.Wayne came after me and asked what I was doing, he wanted to help.I stood there a little embarrassed.

"He wants to eat," Fierro said with a polymath's expression.

"Okay, I'll carry you there."

"You don't want to watch him eat, the undead will eat anything, including the Tin Woodman!"

"Uh," Wayne was taken aback for a moment, "Okay, I'll carry you to the door of the tomb."

The mayor succinctly added that on the left side of the second level of the crypt there were several fresh corpses, left by Confederate troops in the frontier conflict two weeks ago.

I am a little afraid that the knight will take the opportunity to attack me.I also feel that I am too stupid, he is obviously kind.But the knights say one thing and do another, who knows what his plan is... In short, Wayne didn't take the opportunity to attack me, but just put me in front of the stone gate of the tomb, and then said he had something to call him, and he waited at the door .

It is said to be eating, but it is actually more like mechanical repair.The dead searched for usable parts in the tomb, and sewed up the missing parts.Of course, the appearance of eating is ugly, cut and sewed, rotten meat flying everywhere, as well as adhesives and embalming fluids. I don't want to describe this kind of thing in too much detail, anyway, no one wants to see it.

The food was really good, strong and springy, not too fresh and bloody, not too ripe and smelly.As soon as possible, I repaired the muscles and bones that the townspeople had taken, and replaced the original broken and worn parts.

When I walked out of the mausoleum, Wayne was standing at the door leaning against a pillar. When he saw me coming out, he pretended to look away and whistled.Well, I know my new look is a little out of place.The soldiers' bodies were too thick to suit the slender and elegant style of the archmage, maybe it would be fine after some drying.

Fran was trying to get close to the mayor, but now he ran over and slowly circled me three times: "Heroes in epics look like this. I thought they would be taller and darker. , but he is quite handsome."

I originally planned to make up a joke to prevaricate it, but Glinda, who was covering her mouth and laughing just now, also panted, and skillfully made up the knife and said: "Damn Xiaohei, you still laugh at me for using the face-retaining technique all day long, why don't you do it now?" Are you learning to dress up?"

Nonsense, I don't have face-saving surgery, well, I did do a little surgery on the sutures to make them look like ordinary scars.But who stipulated that the dead must be dirty and smelly, so I should pay attention to the appearance, what happened?I'm not alone in the grave now, so of course I have to take care of the perception of my teammates, is there anything wrong with that?

Fierro didn't say anything kindly, but just held up his magic crystal to take a picture, take a picture?It is clearly intended to be shared on the gossip app of Golden Wing City!Damn, how can I have such a group of excellent teammates.

Just as he was scratching his head, suddenly the mayor's expression changed: "You guys, leave immediately." What happened?The mayor added in a low voice: "The dragon of Theda."

A long dragon chant came from afar in the north.The fluctuation of magic is also active.The all-encompassing spell Wayne had previously cast was noticed by the Queen of the North, and she sent her dragon to inspect it.

The mayor hastily stuffed a pile of dry food and pushed us out of the town.Not long after, the wind pressure suddenly became stronger, and Fierro called out to hide and disperse.I was still trying to figure out what to do when Wayne dragged me to hide under a sloping boulder.

Broken wings skimmed the spiky tops of the cedars, and the dead cedars shook and screamed.It was not a real dragon, but the skeleton of a great dragon bowed to Theta's will and flew back into the sky.Similarly, the entire Northland also succumbed to the shadow of Dragon Wing.

It took a long time for the huge shadow to dissipate, and Wayne's eyebrows and short hair were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.He let out a breath of white air, and put his arm on my chest in an overly heroic way.It was very inconvenient to take a shower in Beidi, and there was a moderate smell of bitter almonds under his shoulder armor.He seemed to have noticed my heart beating wildly, turned his head and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." It looked quite convincing.Well, if he is really willing to join forces with us, fighting a dragon is not a problem.But who can bear the responsibility of formally going to war with the kingdom of the dead?

The wind of the dragon was still circling nearby, and the muscles in Wayne's arms suddenly tensed up, and a shadow surged from under the boulder. I shook my head to signal Wayne not to move, it should be Glinda who was performing the spell.For a moment shadows fell over the shady side of the boulder.

"So the dragon can't see us?" Wayne asked cautiously.

I nodded.

Wayne put down his arm and heaved a sigh of relief, elbowed me again, and said, "It really works, the method you taught me! At that time, I really wanted to help those bereaved families, and then Holy Light really responded to me , Holy Light told me the solution, and there are so many lights coming together, it’s amazing.”

So he learned and sold his Great Universal Illumination Technique now?This explanation makes sense.But I don't quite trust the Knights to tell the truth.

Wayne went on to say: "Francis asked the mayor about it, and the mayor said that the resurrected skeletons may be fanatics—maybe people from the Knights. I don't believe it, but I also know, Regardless of the knight order or the bereaved family, there are good people and bad people everywhere. If someone from the knight order is really involved in this matter, I will definitely find him out.

"Hey, senior, you've been silent all this time, don't keep pretending to be mean and cool, Shengguang told me a long time ago that you have a heart that shines."

How can there be!Say something about a glowing heart, it sounds like a damsel.There was an awkward silence for a while.

"Hey, why do you think there is food in the villages and towns of the bereaved? It's pretty cheap, don't you guys not eat?"

"trading."

"Ok?"

"The preservatives needed by the dead, many herbs have to be imported from the trading post in the south. The survivors in the north are mostly farmers, and have no other skills except farming."

"I don't understand..."

"The plague happened 200 years ago. The land in the north can be cultivated after being burned by fire. As for sales, at the border trade station, the merchants in the south collected the grain, and after using light towers to gather energy and expose it to the sun, they packed it and mixed it into ordinary food. in the cargo to the South.”

"What a profiteer."

"I haven't heard of anyone getting sick from eating it."

"And I don't understand why the mayor can decide not to join the war. What if Queen Theda orders conscription?"

"The Kingdom of the Dead is the name given by the southerners. The Northland is just a group of surviving survivors. There is no country. Theda is a powerful warlord, and she has a dragon. Many cities on the northern border pay taxes to Theda every year in exchange for her protection of."

"Protection fee."

"Not the mafia, Theda's army helps save the survivor towns from the knights—from the living people in the south. The towns share the military expenses for Theda. She claims to be queen, but she has no real control. Further Going north, towns far from the border do not pay taxes to Theda because there is no real security threat."

I suddenly realized that I was talking too much.Looking at Wayne again, he pursed his lips and smiled sinisterly.Sure enough, the people from the Knights are all cunning and cunning, and he has already figured out my weakness as a teacher.I don't know if he asked the question knowingly, but this kid lied to me so much all at once!

"To be honest, I don't know what a hero in an epic is like. What you did just now is a great hero. It's just to help innocent strangers, and you don't even need your life."

No, if I don't give them food, they will eat it... I thought for a while and said, "I have died anyway, and the dead don't take these things lightly. Glinda has my bone box. Wait After she has been busy for a while, she will resurrect me."

Wayne was there looking at me again and grinning.Suddenly the shadow was dispelled.Glinda came over with a big face like a rotten girl: "Hey, the two handsome guys had a good chat, the dragon has already flown away, hurry up!"

Long Yin is still lingering in the distance.Theda didn't see us, but she clearly wasn't about to stop.If we continue north, we will inevitably run into Theda's blockade.Fierro suggested a detour to the west.How to go?Fierro said a place name, Midnight Garden.
