Chapter 415: Necromancy and Darkness
"Whew, you humans are probably the most enjoyable race on the ground. Neferna sighed at the hot springs.
"You can soak it for a while, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get into the water. Thor tilted his head and thought again.
Neferna, the goddess of shiitake mushrooms, clamored to experience the so-called hot springs, and Thor had no choice but to wrap the joints of the puppets in strips of cloth. Water ingress is inevitable, and with a little oil and a lot of activity after that, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Thor with his arm across the edge of the pool, the whole person was silent, Neferna turned her head and asked.
Thor opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't speak. In fact, there was a vague fear in his heart now, not because of anything specific, but if nothing else, it seemed that there was still more than a month, and he would be able to go home after opening the door of the secret realm.
Soon, I am about to see the nest of shiitake mushrooms at home that I am concerned about. That seems like good news, but Saul isn't sure. After being away from home for too long, he didn't know what was waiting for him when he went back, maybe it was the unbearable weight of life.
This is not pessimism, in fact, Saul knows very well that pessimism and optimism are meaningless in the face of reality. What it should be, what it is, is nothing more than a probability. Whether you are pessimistic or optimistic, things are never subject to human will.
Optimism is only a means of self-encouragement, and in the final analysis, it is only a temporary self-deception.
Stan with one hand, Diller with the loss of his beloved, a territory riddled with holes, and the deteriorating environment of the continent. Are the shiitake mushrooms at home doing well, who is still alive? Who is no longer there? There are too many questions to worry about, and the complexity and chaos linger in my heart.
In fact, Saul not only knows that there is no point in being optimistic and pessimistic, but it is also pointless to even think about it itself, because the result is there, and the only thing you can do is to see and suffer in silence. Whether it's heart-rending or joyful embrace.
Before, Thor chose to escape, just not thinking about it, but now that the return date is imminent, these things still jump out after all.
Because of the tight grip on the joints, Neferna was inflexible and could only swim awkwardly to Thor's side. So Neferna babbled beside her, and Thor listened absentmindedly with his head down, and time passed in silence.
It wasn't until Neferna suddenly said something that she forcibly pulled Thor back from all sorts of meaningless fantasies.
"Actually...... I haven't told you yet, but I still feel very shaken in my heart when I saw you in the Triston family that day, lifting the table with someone else for me......" Neferna looked a little ...... with her head half-bowed Shy?
Are you shocked?Thor 's eyes flashed.
"What are you doing?" said Neferna, as two evil claws covered her chest.
"Aren't you shaking, so how much do I feel it?" Thor whispered in her ear, making her shiver a little.
"You...... Rogue, let me go!" Neferna was a little speechless, it was supposed to be a sensational moment, why was she suddenly attacked. She wanted to wrap her arms around her chest, but she found that the joints couldn't bend, and she suddenly wondered if Thor had deliberately tied her so tightly.
"Little mushroom monster, didn't you notice that the small courtyard I cleaned up in advance is very clean at the moment? ”
"Is it true that when there is no concrete substance around for you to move around, and you come into contact with me, your ghost body will not be able to break away from the puppet, right? "Old Dog Thor is very sure.
"How do you know?" Neferna was a little shocked, she really couldn't get out of the puppet when the two souls sucked at each other.
"I've been working on this since the last time you got into my arms and suddenly got into the buttons of my coat. In fact, it is not profound, it is just some daily observation and speculation. The old dog of Thor stepped up and down and began to speed up his attack.
Thor judged that Neferna could not possess the earth or a large water source, and a cup of Neferna might be possible, but a pool of Neferna was obviously impossible.
"Hmm~,...... Villain, let me go, you're so boring, who's going to study that kind of boring question?" Neferna writhed.
"Pap~ Pap, you are usually so arrogant, I have been planning this day for a long time. Thor quickly slapped his little buttocks, which he cared about the most.
"Let go of me, I was wrong!" Neferna tried to run away with the ghost body, but was entangled by Thor's powerful soul.
"Hmm~mm~ah~ah!" Neferna squeezed the puppet's legs as she felt the Great Demon King's evil claws.
“...... Let go of me, scoundrel, you can't do that! you're blaspheming the Goddess!" Neferna shuddered.
"Fart goddess, resign yourself to your fate! little mushroom monster, you have nowhere to escape!"
The body structure of the puppet is actually similar to that of a human, and although there are no certain delicate parts, it does not affect Thor to judge the general direction. There was only a slick patch there, but soon Neferna groaned and collapsed into Thor's arms.
“...... Let me go, I'm so sad!" Neferna shuddered as she put her arm around Thor's neck.
"Oh, where are you sad?" laughed Thor.
"Badass!stinky rascal!hmm~" Neferna had never experienced this feeling, only felt groggy as a whole.
"You have to learn to face up to your desires, you see that I live a very real life. "Dog Thor continues to take advantage of rare opportunities.
After an unknown amount of time, Neferna shuddered and bit Thor on the shoulder, letting out a terrible hiss.
Luckily, it was just made of cloth, and Thor didn't feel any specific pain. When he turned his head, Thor was bluffed into taking a deep breath. The puppet's cloth face seemed to be dyed red with blood, and at this moment he was looking up at himself with cloth eyes, shocking.
I'm a master of deception, a master of deception, I can deceive myself, deceive myself.
Thor kept encouraging himself in his heart, tilted his head and closed his eyes and kissed it.
"Hmm~" Neferna's body trembled again.
"Phew...... Isn't this still cloth?"
"It's definitely still cloth, I can just use this body to feel the real world, but I can't change the original material of this body, at most I can only conjure up eyes and mouth. Neferna explained weakly as she lay into Thor's arms.
"It's really something I've ever encountered in my life...... The most useless ability!" Thor was speechless, she could feel others, but others couldn't feel her, so what was the point of this ability? Or it was only meaningful to her, but useless to herself.
"Wait, you said you could conjure eyes, nose, and mouth, so can you conjure up something else?" Thor suddenly realized.
"Transfiguration what?" said Neferna, looking puzzled.
"Actually...... You originally had something important here. Thor reached out and touched it mysteriously.
"Ahh
Seeing that she quickly returned to the ghost body and then ran away shyly, Thor knew that his plan had failed for the time being, but there was a new direction of research in the future.
What the hell am I doing? Thor suddenly felt that this was self-torture, but she screamed as merrily as she sang. But even if he has a big idea in his heart, he can't do anything concrete, but he makes himself very tormented.
So Saul fell silent and fell into self-reflection in his life.
At some point in the night, there seemed to be a faint commotion and shouting in the distance.
"What's going on?" Thor opened his eyes instantly.
"I don't know, it seems beyond my perception. Neferna replied in her arms.
Thor quickly got up and got dressed, and decided to go out and take a look, the noise sounding like a wilderness attack.
By the time the two of them reached the street, the commotion seemed to be over, but the crowd of people who were still watching the excitement had not yet dispersed. So Thor stepped forward and grabbed a passer-by and asked roughly what had just happened.
It turned out that a dead spirit suddenly appeared in a certain alleyway in the upper city, and then attacked a house, and a person died. Later, when the patrol discovered the danger, they quickly summoned a few exterminators to arrive, and the crisis was quickly resolved.
“...... Why can the Necronomicon appear in the city now?" Thor looked at the place where the incident occurred, his face a little solemn.
If ghosts are only active in the wilderness, they are two worlds from human settlements. But if they can enter the colony and roam, it is conceivable that the living environment of human beings will become more difficult in the future.
"It's not out of nowhere, if you look closely at the area, there's actually a residential area where the lights go out. It was as if a fault had formed there, connecting the darkness into patches, and the necromancer should have followed the patches of darkness through which it had come in from the wilderness. ”
"The Necronomicon theoretically does not appear for no reason, and even if it were to appear in a human settlement, it would only be able to follow the vehicle of darkness. If it suddenly appears in human area, it is only possible that there are multiple skeletons that have been left unattended and unattended for a long time. ”
Neferna quickly figured out the reason and gave a concrete answer.
Is it because of the darkness?Thor stared into the depths of the alleyway until it was dark outside the city walls, and suddenly remembered what Randy and Funa, the two adventurers, Shiitake Mushroom, had said, except for the first rule of the spirit, remember to always stay where there is light.
