"Your Highness, are you really going back like this?"
As Rilisa watched Baixi return towards the City of the Dead, she couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, we can't let that strange Bone Lord get away."
Bai Xi shrugged. Originally it was for Nesser, but the reason for returning was not limited to that.
The main reason is that I feel that the Bone Lord is a bit like a cult, spreading some strange ideas. Although the undead are not good, he is obviously more terrifying than the other undead.
She listened to the entire bizarre speech, which incited the dead to invade the living; it was very persuasive.
I feel that if we let this kind of guy continue to exist, something terrible will happen.
After all, he had tried to activate the undead teleportation array before, and almost succeeded. No matter how you look at it, he was a terrible guy.
"Her Highness is truly... merciful."
After listening to Bai Xi's matter-of-fact words, Rilisa hesitated for a long time before praising him sincerely.
It seems that Her Highness the Holy Maiden is completely unaware that she is also an undead. In comparison, she cares more about the human race. From the perspective of the human race, this is certainly good, but from Her Highness the Holy Maiden's point of view, doesn't she find it strange?
Rilisa's expression was a little strange, but she still didn't really say what she was thinking.
"No, it's not exactly kindness, it's just..."
Bai Xi instinctively retorted, but when she needed to find specific reasons to explain her actions, she was at a loss for words.
"never mind."
She generally disliked thinking about things that yielded no results, and as was her usual practice, Bai Xi didn't continue the conversation but instead abandoned the topic.
"It's alright, you're a bit crazy, but you're still pretty normal."
The little ghost floated to the side, easily seeing through Bai Xi's kindness hidden beneath her indifference. It crossed its arms and looked at Bai Xi with an expression that said, "That's more like it," while nodding in satisfaction.
"...."
Bai Xi didn't say anything, but rolled her eyes at him.
Ever since scaring Rilisa last time, Bai Xi has tried to avoid talking to Roy and the others in front of her, mainly because it's difficult to explain the situation of the elemental spirits.
Talking about this topic would take too long, and she... was too lazy.
"See? Bai Xi is a very kind little girl. Only you think she's an evil, bad woman."
Roy strutted around in front of the little ghost with a smug look on his face, so naive that he directly saw through the little ghost's unspoken meaning, causing Bai Xi to pause strangely upon hearing this.
The topic ended there, and Bai Xi, alone with a human slave, gradually approached the outskirts of the Necromancer's City, unaware that something completely unexpected was happening inside the Necromancer's City.
...
"It seems that vampires really can't survive, so they've come to the land of the dead to seek refuge."
The Bone Lord's banquet had just been turned upside down, with the high-ranking undead who were on the verge of exploding leaving in a chaotic mess. He himself was also furious.
Before they could even catch the troublesome spirit, they had to deal with a bunch of other problems, and their temper was about to explode.
At this moment, some inhuman, ghostly creature actually came to visit—a vampire who had absolutely no connection with the dead. Anyone would be furious.
His words were naturally filled with harshness and sarcasm, and the way he looked down at the vampire was more like looking at a stray dog.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. I remember your ancestor seems to have woken up. I suppose your days have been quite difficult."
As he spoke, the Bone Lord seemed to suddenly remember something, his words filled with sarcasm.
Below the city lord's seat, several disheveled vampires stood in the hall, heads bowed, listening silently to the Bone Lord's mockery, for what he said was indeed true.
Their situation was even worse than the Bone Lord had imagined.
Ever since the Vampire Duke was killed by the Progenitor, these remnants who followed the traitor have been hunted down by the Progenitor every day, and even begging for mercy is useless.
Moreover, as the progenitor reclaimed more and more 'Blood of the Night,' his strength grew stronger and stronger.
Their survival is becoming increasingly difficult, leaving them with no choice but to come to this godforsaken place to survive, even though it can't even guarantee them basic food and clothing.
Without living beings, there is no blood, and they cannot even get a bite to eat.
As time goes on, they will likely be driven mad by hunger.
But there was no other way; this was the safest place they could think of, the territory of the fleeing undead, which meant there was a high chance they could escape the Ancestor's pursuit.
Even the progenitors probably never imagined they would come here.
But rather than wandering this desolate wasteland, it would be better to find a lord to rely on, so that there's a chance to obtain the blood they depend on for survival.
After all, some royal cities still have living beings.
They just didn't expect that they arrived at the worst possible time, right when Bai Xi caused a ruckus at the banquet and released most of the creatures. Their so-called request for protection might not have been a big deal under normal circumstances.
But in today's context...
That would be stepping directly into the Bone Lord's minefield.
It's like dancing in his minefield.
“Lord City Lord, things are indeed as you described, but we are also powerful vampires with the ability to travel between the Western Continent and other continents.”
Finally, one of the vampires couldn't hold back any longer. He couldn't listen to the Bone Lord's continuous barrage of words any longer and chose to speak up to defend himself, or rather, to demonstrate his worth.
"Our existence can completely help you realize your ambition of recreating the Cataclysm of the Undead."
He said this.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the skeleton of the Bone Lord trembled with rage, making a creaking sound as the bones rubbed against each other.
It sounds like something that makes your teeth ache.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings with nowhere to run, and you say you can help me? I've never seen guys like you before, you're truly an eye-opener."
The Bone Lord stood up, his bones suddenly bulging out bone spikes that stretched directly in front of the vampires, radiating intense killing intent.
"Get out of here and never show your face in front of me again."
The vampires' faces instantly turned extremely ugly, but there was nothing they could do; even if they were treated like this, they couldn't get angry.
This is the territory of the Bone Lords. They are just outsiders seeking refuge. Killing them would be an easy task.
The Bone Lord is simply driving them away; that's already more than enough.
With no other option, the vampires gritted their teeth, gave up seeking refuge from the Bone Lord, and turned to walk outside.
