Chapter 436: The Melancholy of the Dead
"So this thing traveled hundreds of kilometers and ended up with us again?"
Sivi threw aside the letter in his hand with the wax seal of the Julian Empire: "Why do you come to me every time something messes up?" ”
The first half of the letter is made up of a large pile of greetings and flattering social rhetoric, and the second half is revealed in its original form, revealing the true purpose of Her Majesty's majesty.
It can be summed up as 'There's a pit in Lovenia, and there's a rock-born Behemoth in the pit, and it's not a big deal, but if you can, you can just kill it.'
Damn, even if the Iwasheng Behemoth larvae are really not a powerful thing, but the Mountain Curse is very difficult to do, is it really that I am the almighty Dora Avi!
"Let them play with the eggs."
He waved his hand a little annoyedly and said to Franconia in front of him.
The other one was trapped in the Sanctuary and couldn't do anything but brush up on the dungeons every day, and there seemed to be something going on on the orc's side recently, so he didn't dare to leave the academy casually.
After all, Adric had just been hit hard and hadn't fully recovered.
And because of the previous attack, Sivi also discovered a weakness in the academy's protective ability. In the past, he relied too much on the protective barrier on the outer layer of the academy (which has been upgraded to LV2) and the sentry tower, believing that no matter what could be taken down before it threatened the academy, the internal garrison of the academy was somewhat weak.
If it weren't for the White Church's side, the Templars were sent to act as meat shields. In that battle, the number of casualties in the Adric Academy would probably increase exponentially - it was precisely because of this kindness that Sivi could not simply leave the affairs of the Sanctuary alone, causing the other self to be trapped over there......
Therefore, while repairing the damage of the academy battle, he also spent all the reward resources of that battle to build the Golem Workshop.
As one of the best meat shields for mages, as long as there is enough time and resources for Sivi to hoard and upgrade the Golem, the Academy's defense ability will definitely have a qualitative leap!
Unfortunately, the current situation is changing rapidly, and it seems that there is not enough time left for him.
"I have to remind you, Lord Dean,"
Franken Kracra twisted the screws. In a very serious tone, he said, "Whether it's Her Majesty the Queen of Lylian or the lord of Lovenia. Physiologically, they are all eggless. ”
"Forget this kind of yellow joke."
Sivi raised an eyebrow and rubbed his fingers lightly against the cup in front of him. The teapot not far from the cup grew four legs and ran to his hand. Filled the cup with tea: "How's going on over there?" Is there anything new in Claude's examination? ”
“…… The rate at which his ghostly illness worsened accelerated. ”
There was a pause. Franconia said in a voice that didn't rise or fall in a single tone, "It's going to get worse at this rate." In another half a month, his soul and body will be completely detached. ”
"Don't be so pessimistic, there will definitely be a way."
After letting the teapot return to the tray. Sivi raised his head and looked at the expressionless Franconian: "Even if there is really no way to stop this process, after Claude's soul completely leaves his body, at least I can still ghostize him and let him stay in this world with you......"
"Please don't do that."
Franconian interrupted Sivi with a sudden voice.
"Being an undead creature is not a good choice. No matter what kind of undead creatures they are, they are just the dregs of life...... The longer you live, the more you lose your feelings, memories, and cognitions, and the more you can learn about them. Unable to die normally again, he can only linger in pain, regretting himself for why he should come back in this posture, and begins to hate all the living. The so-called necromancy is such a pathetic existence. ”
Franken's voice didn't sound the slightest change in tone because he didn't turn the screws to change his tone, but Sivi felt the sadness and pain contained in it.
"So, although I know that the pure spirit body born from the ghost disease of the Dao Dao is a good research material, even if you let him leave in a painless way like that, don't let him return to this world in the form of residues...... Accept the willful request of your most faithful servant and father. ”
As he spoke, the skeleton mage in artificial human skin bent down humbly.
"I see."
Sivi nodded solemnly and agreed to Franken's request.
"I promise that if that time comes, I will let Claude die quietly like that, without desecrating his life."
"Thank you so much." The skeleton mage's waist bent even lower: "Being your servant is the most correct choice after my death. ”
After Franken left and Sivi took a sip of the black tea that had cooled down a little, he let out a long sigh, raised his head to the head that showed out of the ceiling and asked, "Is the existence of the undead really as painful as Franconn said?" ”
Fett emerged from there and landed lightly on the desk in front of Sivi with a faint sadness on his face.
"It's a little extreme, but it's mostly correct." The ghost girl shook her hand in front of Xiwei: "Actually, the necromancers with entities like skeletons and zombies are quite good, and when the ghost species were thin at the beginning and had no way to affect reality, ordinary people couldn't even see them, and of course they couldn't hear their voices." ”
"It's like a transparent person, no one can see or hear, nothing can be touched, and no food can be eaten. No matter what you do, no one will respond, and over time you will start to have doubts about your existence, and then despair. ”
As if feeling a chill, the ghost girl hugged her arms, her face full of gloom: "After falling into despair, either you will completely die to reality, lose all self-awareness, and become a ghost species that can only act on instinct and gradually accumulate your own strength; Either that or they start to hate everything and become a resentful spirit that proves their existence by hurting others. ”
"But when I saw you, I was still able to talk to you......"
Sivi stammered for a moment before asking.
"It's because I have the obsession to seal the Lord of Death that I can preserve a certain degree of personality memory. In addition, no one would have come to that place in the first place, and I would not have experienced the sense of loss caused by being ignored, so I was able to exist for so long...... But to be honest, there have been several times when I have almost given up my existence and become a slave to my instincts in those long years......" Fitt showed a somewhat lonely expression, but then was replaced by a smile: "But I've been very happy lately, really." So although the reasons are different, I would like to thank you as well. Being able to be your friend is also the right choice for me after I die. ”
“…… Even flattery won't do you any good. ”
The expression on Sivi's face relaxed slightly.
"But then again, aren't you really going to help with that thing in Lovenia?" Fett came back to his senses and shifted the conversation back to the point.
"Just a larvae of a rock-born Behemoth...... Why, do you care? ”
Sivi asked, puzzled.
For him, Iwabu Behemoth itself is indeed not a tricky thing, and the most tricky thing is only the curse of the mountains that will appear after killing the other party.
"I don't know what to do." The ghost girl shook her head, and her black double ponytail flicked back and forth, giving people a feeling of vitality: "But I don't know why, I always feel that this incident has something to do with the accident that happened to the Sky Destroyer before." ”
"Accidents? …… Wait, you mean that living storm? ”
With the ghost girl's nod of affirmation, Sivi's brow furrowed again.
After a while, he raised his head again, drank the black tea that had been completely cold, and said to the ghost girl, "Call those four little ones, and say that I have a new task to give them." (To be continued......)
