"And your ghost friend, she's at least a high-level undead."
The little ghost seemed very unhappy about Maggie's collaboration with 'Miss Ghost', deliberately emphasizing her words and sounding angry if you listened carefully.
Roy looked at her with a worried expression.
"Without her help, I couldn't have dealt with Bella on my own."
Maggie was well aware of her own strength. Even with the dark magic she had recently learned, she couldn't harm Bella in the slightest. Apart from outsmarting her, she had no other choice.
In terms of combat strength, there are Harlen and 'Miss Ghost', although they are only one level lower than Bella, but...
Fighting opponents of a higher level is only possible for the protagonists in novels; we need to find other ways.
"Roy and I are just lower-level elves now, so we can't help you much. If it were before, I..."
The little ghost sighed in a human-like manner, his bean-like eyes drooping slightly, looking both sad and adorable. His tone was melancholy, but halfway through his sentence, he seemed to realize something and suddenly shut his mouth.
Maggie keenly noticed the little ghost's unusual behavior, but remained calm and showed no sign of doubt or abnormality.
She had long realized that Little Ghost and Roy were fundamentally different.
Although they are both elemental spirits, the little ghost is clearly more mature. To put it bluntly, Roy should have evolved from an unowned spirit into a level two spirit not long ago, but the little ghost has obviously lived for countless years.
It has been tens of thousands of years since the time of the Tabernacle Sages.
Moreover, his words just now revealed even more information; perhaps the little ghost was once a high-ranking elf.
However, since he was unwilling to talk about it or admit it, Maggie wouldn't want to upset him unnecessarily, as it wouldn't do her any good.
Despite the turmoil in her mind, Maggie simply smiled faintly and thanked him softly.
"You have already helped me a lot."
As he spoke, images of the Abyss Soul Stone from the comics flashed through his mind.
Compared to those mindless undead lords who just stand by the Soul Stone, Maggie thinks Bella would be easier to deal with, since this courtyard is an illusion formed based on the Abyss Soul Stone.
It's highly likely that it's hidden somewhere deep inside this building. According to Harlen, given Bella's personality, the Abyss Soul Stone might be with Elwin's corpse.
Bella undoubtedly harbored malice towards them; there was no other reason she might want to kill them.
wrong!
Maggie caught a glimpse of the vengeful spirit of the Saka planted by the door, and the clues in her mind suddenly became clear.
"The vengeful spirit of Shahua..."
She muttered to herself that the flower had another use besides being pretty, but she hadn't realized it for a moment, or rather, she only made the connection after hearing about Elwin's story.
"Perhaps we're wrong. The spirits in this villa are probably being used by Bella to grow flowers."
Maggie raised her head and said in a leisurely tone.
"The vengeful spirit Shahua?"
The little ghost seemed to recall the scene it had just witnessed in the garden, rubbing its short little hands together incessantly, before finally revealing an expression of sudden realization.
"The vengeful spirit Saka is said to be able to transform into the ghost of someone who has already died. Generally, only abnormal mad magicians would cultivate such a thing."
Whether from excitement or shock, bursts of will-o'-the-wisp shot from the little ghost's head, as if it completely failed to understand Bella's behavior.
No spirit with even a modicum of intelligence would go so far as to exchange thousands of ghosts for a ghost that isn't even its original form.
"Are there really spirits that would actively capture their own kind to cultivate vengeful spirit flowers?!"
Maggie didn't quite understand either, but her intuition told her that things were as she thought.
"Bella wouldn't want to resurrect the dead Erwin, would she?"
Roy was also surprised.
"She killed Elwin with her own hands, yet now she still wants to see his soul again..."
Roy looked confused.
"She must be too lonely."
Maggie's lips twitched. Although she didn't understand the madwoman's thought process, she thought about how she had become an undead since the time of the Scourge and had spent tens of thousands of years here alone.
Given her intense love and hate for Erwin before her death, it's not just possible, it's highly likely she wanted to see Erwin again.
Although it's highly likely that what we'll see is a cloned sheep, the presence of a corpse means it retains memories, so it's roughly equivalent to Erwin himself.
As for resurrection?
That's absolutely impossible. Resurrection is a non-existent option on the continent of Coral. Even gods and demon kings don't have that ability, and it's impossible no matter the cost.
Currently, the concept of resurrection on the continent of Coral is simply turning the dead into spirits.
Fresh ones will become liches, stale ones will become mindless skeletons, and those filled with obsession and resentment will become ghosts and vengeful spirits.
However, even if the ghost and the body are both there, there is no possibility of resurrection.
Even on the continent of Coral, there is not a single legend about turning the dead back into humans.
Otherwise, the Scourge of the Undead would not be feared by all races on the continent of Coral.
"If that's the case, then she let us in because she thought we were spare fertilizer."
Maggie was both amused and exasperated. Why did they all seem to love growing flowers so much? Even the last vampire queen loved growing roses.
Unfortunately, he still died at her hands.
so....
Bella will have the same fate as the Queen, and can only have the same fate.
Maggie's gaze fell on the direction of the room's window, and she could vaguely sense that she was staring at a monster through the wall.
And that was exactly what happened. Bella, who was leisurely watering the plants in the garden, was looking up at Maggie's room on the second floor, with an elegant and gentle smile on her lips, but a bloodthirsty excitement gleaming in her eyes.
Perhaps it's the joy of seeing a beloved person resurrected, or perhaps it's the thrill of slaughtering living beings.
Just as the little ghost said, the dead and the living are forever at odds. They hate all living creatures because the living possess the life they dream of.
Even if one's emotions in life can temporarily suppress the desire to kill living beings, it is nothing more than a fleeting moment.
Maggie looked away. Even though she knew Bella was after her life, she couldn't be afraid.
She can't afford to be distracted by external things right now; she needs to come up with a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible. She doesn't want to become fertilizer for the plants.
"We can only start dealing with Bella if we find the Abyss Soul Stone first, otherwise she will keep absorbing the power of the Soul Stone and we will never be able to kill her."
Maggie said as she analyzed the situation.
"But Bella certainly won't let us move around the house freely to investigate."
She's not capable enough to participate in this task, so the investigation can only be left to Harlen.
If he can't even do this task well, then he doesn't deserve to be her teammate.
