Nephnis thought so in her heart, recalling the scene of negotiation with the Order of the Underworld on the hill. She was still a little frightened at this moment. Although she knew that Dorothy was assisting her in secret, she could not help but feel nervous.
At this moment, Nephnis suddenly felt a familiar touch from the mark on her body. This was the reminder signal Dorothy sent when she contacted her.
Nephnis was slightly stunned by this signal, thinking that she seemed to have not brought any contact information with her. At this moment, the corpse-drawn driver of the carriage she was riding in suddenly broke away from her control and spoke.
"Senior Neveu, how are you doing? You don't feel anything wrong with your body, right?"
Hearing the coachman's tone, Nephnis immediately understood who was abusing him, and she answered with a sigh of relief.
"Phew... It's OK. I didn't feel anything unusual. Miss Dorothy, I think I completed my mission successfully."
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to you, Senior Neveu. Without you, I would have no way to deal with this group of guys. As a prior agreement, I will give you part of the rewards."
Using the coachman's corpse puppet's mouth, Dorothy communicated with Nephthys. Since Nephthys had helped her this time, she had to reward her. According to the previous agreement, Nephthys could get 1,000 pounds out of the 6,000 pounds in cash, and she could take one of the three biographies to study and extract spirituality. After she finished reading it, she would get the remaining two. These three biographies were all "silent", which would be of great help to her promotion.
"Thank you Miss Dorothy... You have helped me so many times, it is only right for me to repay you today. In fact, there is no need for any reward." Nephnesse said to Dorothy with gratitude. In Nephnesse's eyes, Dorothy not only rescued her and her students from the poisonous control of the Eight-Pointed Nest, but also helped her become a Beyonder and helped her family fight against the curse of the ancient undead. It was only right for her to lend a hand. When Dorothy asked her for help, she agreed without much thought.
"No, you still have to accept this reward. In this case, you are essentially taking a risk for me. Although I have made a lot of emergency preparations, the risks of this case itself cannot be ignored. Facing those dangerous guys... there is a possibility of accidents.
"To be honest, I was worried that you, Senior Neveu, might not be able to handle the pressure and something might happen. But fortunately, you performed better than I expected, and our plan went smoothly."
Dorothy continued to talk to Nefernis, and Nefernis smiled and answered Dorothy's words.
"It's a rare feeling to be praised by Miss Dorothy... I've experienced this kind of scene before, so I'm still a little surprised."
Nevonis looked at Dorothy and responded, saying that when the Tonzhi Academy was controlled by the thorns, Nevonis, as the only sober person who was not controlled by the poison, had to learn every day to hide her uniqueness in the abnormal academy, disguise herself in front of the thorns and infected students, pretending to be the same as other academy members, and even looked for opportunities to fight back against the thorns and save the students.
So Nefernis's ability to withstand pressure is actually very strong. Although she was nervous when facing the Order of the Underworld, she did not show it at all. She was able to follow Dorothy's inner instructions and present the image of a cunning thief in front of the Underworld Order and others. This is indeed her achievement.
"Okay... Let's talk about the rest after we meet in Zone 3. You still need to leave here quickly. Time is running out. It would be bad if you get affected."
At this time, the coachman corpse continued to speak to Nefernis, who paused slightly after listening and then nodded.
"I see. See you in the area, Miss Dorothy."
After saying that, the coachman's corpse stopped talking, and Nephnis felt that she had regained control. She then looked out the window at the hills in the distance, then controlled the carriage to move quickly towards the surrounding area.
…
At this time on the top of the hill, Larina and others were just about to start loading. It took more than ten minutes, and their horse-drawn freight carriage that was originally parked at the foot of the hill was now being driven up. The Skeleton and his men were ready at this moment, ready to load the goods and leave.
Larina, who had just been attacked by the backlash, was sitting on a stone to rest. Kale was taking care of her. Countless ghosts were wandering on the hill and its surroundings, guarding against any possible attacking enemies. Larina's expression was also tense. She was worried that the thieves would take advantage of her weakness after the backlash to launch a surprise attack. She was worried that the backlash was a planned trap.
Fortunately, it has been a while since Larina was attacked, and the ghosts patrolling the area have not found any signs of anyone around approaching a surprise attack. The thief did not come back after he left, and it seems that she is unaware of the problem on her side.
"It seems... the backlash of my curse was not a trap they set up..."
Larina breathed a sigh of relief and said this. Seeing that no one took advantage of the situation to attack her, she relaxed a lot. Then she turned her head to look at the carriage that had just been driven up the hill, and the pile of wooden boxes piled up in the distance.
Although they failed to find the trouble with those thieves, at least all the things were redeemed. These forty boxes of spirits are in the hands of the new answer. For Larina, at least there will be more things to hand over.
"Hurry up and load the car! We'll leave immediately after loading..."
Larina gave the order, and then her men and the skeletons all began to carry the piled wooden boxes onto their own carriages. The repeated labor began, but no one noticed that in the middle of the pile of wooden boxes, something was slowly throbbing in the dark, approaching a critical point.
At the innermost of the pile of wooden boxes, inside the largest wooden box containing the iron coffin, under the iron coffin, there was a narrow compartment with extremely exquisite workmanship.
In this mezzanine that is invisible to everyone, countless tiny cylinders are arranged in clusters. These cylinders slowly fill the entire mezzanine. Countless wires connect the cylinders in the center of the mezzanine, where there is a mechanical device wrapped in thick cloth to soundproof it. In this mechanical device, a built-in clock is running slowly.
With a tiny ticking sound imperceptible to the outside world, the hands of the clock were gradually approaching destruction. The moment the hands overlapped with the red line drawn on the standard configuration, the preset mechanical structure began to operate, the detonator was triggered, and the explosives covering the entire interlayer were instantly detonated.
"boom!!!!"
At a moment no one expected, a powerful impact and blazing flames quickly erupted from the interlayer of the wooden box. The dazzling flames quickly expanded, engulfing the entire pile of wooden boxes and the surrounding skeletons and people. A huge noise erupted from this inconspicuous hill, spreading rapidly in all directions.
A few seconds later, the soldiers patrolling in the distant Gale Fortress were startled by the sudden loud noise and went on alert.
In a corridor somewhere in the fortress, the garrison captain Edmund was walking and talking with a slightly fat man with a mustache. After feeling the noise, they frowned and looked out the window at the dusty hills in the distance.
