On the outer walls of the Undead King's city, swarms of bats flew about, but all the undead were busy taking refuge and avoiding the wrath of the Bone Lord, so none of them noticed this strange cloud of bats.
The bats lingered for a long time, as if waiting or observing something.
The bat cloud finally descended when the 'Bone Lord's' clones surrounded the city lord's mansion, creating a terrifying scene resembling a zombie siege.
They disappeared into a dark alley, and soon after, an exceptionally handsome vampire emerged from it.
The vampire gazed in the direction of the city lord's mansion for a long time, then rubbed his temples as if in despair.
"That's all the tricks that little liar has, yet he dares to assassinate the King of the Dead? Really..."
He murmured to himself, but before he could finish speaking, he let out a deep sigh.
He then strode off towards the city lord's mansion.
At the same time, at the edge of the western continent, a figure in pure black appeared. He had a cold expression, sinister eyes, and a high nose bridge, making him look very unapproachable.
Is this the place?
The man raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the so-called barrier preventing contact between the dead and the living, and his brows furrowed slightly.
It seems like it's not going to be easy to solve.
However, he showed no intention of giving up. In just a moment, dense snake scales appeared at the corners of his eyes. The jet-black scales shone with a luster, and even his hair grew much longer.
If someone looked down his wide sleeves, they would see that his arms were also covered in snake scales.
He gathered his power at his fingertips, seemingly intending to break through the barrier directly.
Then a male voice, its tone completely flat and robotic, came from behind him.
Do you want to cause widespread death and destruction?
His voice somewhat stopped Perkin's movements. Perkin turned his head and saw a pair of very special eyes, as beautiful as glass, making one want to gouge them out.
Give it to Maggie as a gift for our next meeting.
Perkin thought to himself silently.
The thought arose, and then he looked at the man's face, and the... somewhat familiar faces following behind him.
Although he didn't care much about everyone Maggie saved, he remembered them to some extent, otherwise it would sometimes cause some trouble.
"I know how to get into the Western Continent."
Al was unaware of Perkin's thoughts; he simply stepped forward and stated in a calm tone what he was about to do.
"oh."
Perkin lowered his eyes, showing neither surprise nor refusal. Since there was a suitable way, he had no need to sabotage it.
Although he had indeed been thinking about seeing Maggie as soon as possible.
The two men didn't exchange many words, just a few short sentences. Perkin stood quietly to the side for the rest of the time, watching El use his angelic powers to open an opening in the barrier.
Angels have always been the rulers of this continent; it's just a barrier, and they can easily break through it if they want to.
Perkin glanced at Al briefly before looking away.
He took a step with a hint of impatience, not even checking whether El was following, and disappeared from Rabai and El's sight in an instant.
Labai was a little slow. He left the border city and followed El here, thinking it would be difficult to enter the Western Continent, but it turned out to be so simple.
He was curious about the background of the president of the Silver Wheel.
A guild that is simply a group of rare races banding together for survival should not have such a powerful guild leader, unless... he has other identities or other purposes.
However, he wasn't particularly concerned about these things; what he wanted to do more now was see Maggie.
Seeing Perkin leave, he stepped forward, but before entering, he politely nodded to Al.
Thank you.
Their agreement had only one thing to do: to find Maggie.
As for whether Maggie would cooperate with the Silver Wheel Guild Master's actions after being found, Labai never made any guarantees, but the guild master didn't seem worried about that issue.
Since the two parties shared the same goal, the deal was naturally reached.
"No need. Just remember to find her and tell her I want to see her."
El said that.
"Um."
Labai nodded, turned around and disappeared into the barrier. Then El closed the barrier and left the border of the Western Continent.
He had other things to do.
Regarding... the ruins that will appear soon.
It's a very ancient site; perhaps it contains something related to his memories.
He knew he had been alive for a very, very long time, but for some reason, his memories would periodically disappear, a problem he had never paid attention to before.
Whether or not someone has memories is not a very important thing for a maintainer of order.
But for some reason, after meeting Maggie that day, he suddenly had the idea of investigating the past. He wanted to know what was in the part of his lost memories.
And there's also the reason why his memories are periodically erased.
Because... he is the only angel who loses his memory every now and then, while the other angels have all their memories intact.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but as time went by, he became more and more concerned about it.
Now that he has the opportunity, he wants to try to find the truth.
The ancient ruins of the past might give him an unexpected answer.
With this thought in mind, El left the western continent and flew towards the so-called 'ruins'.
Meanwhile, as Perkin and Rabai entered the Western Continent, a teleportation array related to the undead lit up on the seabed, far away on the edge of the Eastern Continent.
"Sigh, you silly child, actually wanting to go to a place full of the dead just for some vague, unreal feeling... I really don't know what to say to you..."
The mermaid chieftain looked sorrowful. He didn't know where Xiu had gotten the teleportation array from, which could actually connect to the Western Continent.
That place is a forbidden zone for living beings; anyone who ventures there will be relentlessly hunted down by the undead.
They were completely irrational. The child they raised was going to such a dangerous place for a vague location, and they couldn't stop him.
As children grow up, they develop their own ideas and become stronger, making it difficult to stop them even if you want to.
"Grandpa, this is the last time. If I successfully bring the person back, I will come back to inherit your position."
Xiu said with a serious expression.
But as he said this, he silently added a sentence in his mind.
'If I could seize the position of Sea God and not die in the struggle for divinity, I would definitely lead the Merfolk back to their peak, and do even better than the previous Sea God.'
