"Ah~" A cold and piercing sigh poured down from between the skeleton's teeth.

The skeleton in the cloth robe shook slightly, and dust fell from between his bones. The inside of the empty skull gradually lit up with an emerald green haze. A few minutes later, Augustine, the owner and bartender of the Betrayer's Bar and a once-legendary magician, awakens from his deepest dreams.

His bony hand contracted, and the tearing sound made him realize that he was clutching a rag rather than a familiar wand. The movement of raising his hand shattered the four rings hanging on the white bones' fingers one after another, and the dust after the metal shattering was no larger than the particles of the gemstone.

The ridiculous truth is that the impact of the Ring Fall on magical items is far greater than that of ordinary items - the rag that has been left on hold for hundreds of years seems to still work, but his powerful magical equipment has been wiped out with the Ring City. The ashes on the table and on the floor were good things that could not be exchanged for gold coins that had once been used in a carriage.

Augustine's mind stayed on for a second, and then he quickly realized what it was...... Or whom, to wake him up from his slumber.

"It's ...... What a familiar feeling. His empty eyes looked in the direction where Shen Yan came.

"Ahem, cough~" Another voice sounded, and a skeleton that seemed to be lying on the table and dying suddenly woke up in a violent cough. His bony hand was still clutching the tin wine glass, which had a black-and-gray layer solidified at the bottom. He coughed heartbreakingly, the dragon leather armor it wore shattered with the decaying organic matter of its body, and pale ash erupted from between its jaws and ribs.

"Damn Augustin, what the hell are you selling wine...... I swear it's the worst drink I've ever drunk in my life! Ah, what have I become? What the hell does this look like. The man who realized he had become a skeleton complained, "Respect myself," he said. He raised his glass again and drank the ashes from the glass, which leaked out from between his chin and ribs.

"Hey~, did anyone see my thighs? I remember I wasn't disabled. A skeleton with only its upper body left shouted. As soon as I woke up, I found it was gone, Augustine, do you have a dog? ”

More and more undead are waking up, and they behave differently. Some can't accept that they become undead, and some don't care at all.

"Damn Augustine, is that you? Did you use that damn magic to wake us up? A skeleton with an exceptionally large skeleton rushed to the bar and roared! He was wearing mottled metal heavy armor, carrying a one-foot-wide and two-meter-high steel greatsword, and his fist with iron gloves smashed half of the bar in one fell swoop.

"Stay away from me, Darik! You're no match for me right now! The barkeeper made a gesture of disgust, and the giant skeleton named Derrick was sent flying by the force field punch. The place where Derrick fell, there was an immediate scolding - the cold steel of his greatsword made every undead creature uncomfortable, including himself!

These undead creatures now look like skeletons, except for their size.

However, if you look closely, you can still find some differences - for example, the boss Augustine, his skeleton is slender, if he was not a woman when he was born, then the original race should be an elf; A giant skeleton warrior named Derrick, with obvious demonic bone spurs on his joints and anti-joints on his legs, this guy was a demonic half-blood Tieflin when he was alive;

They did not voluntarily transform into the undead, a process that was enforced when the ring fell. They are just poor people with the collapse of the rules of the universe, the soul has nowhere to go, and the body is tied up in the city and cannot escape. As a result, the mage did not become a lich, and the warrior did not transform into a death knight, so their strength was weakened to varying degrees.

Augustine was a legendary mage during his lifetime, and now although he has fallen from the legendary ranks, he is still a powerful archmage. And turning into an undead creature has a great impact on a muscular warrior like Derrick, and after losing his body, his strength has obviously declined greatly. Darek was probably a character who could be on an equal footing with Augustine during his lifetime, but after becoming an undead, he was beaten on the head and didn't even dare to fart.

This is the "Traitor's Bar", as the name suggests, it is the place where the betrayers gather - they are the spirits who destroy nature, the demons who have taken refuge in the devil (the camp of order), the guests of heaven who have fallen willingly, the paddlers who have committed heinous sins, and even the ...... The one who betrayed the lady.

Because of their original sin, they had to flee their homeland and come to the City of Ten Thousand Gates. only to find that this is not a dream land either, and the betrayers are also not welcomed. Eventually, they had to gather in a semi-underground bar...... Over time, even the name of the bar was changed to "Betrayer".

"Anyway, do you still have any wine here? Augustine, put down your damn rag and go to the cellar to rummage through it. Someone shouted. Augustine pointed to the collapsed side of the bar and spread his hands, signaling that there was nothing he could do.

"Why did you wake me up from my damn dreams when I didn't even have alcohol?!"

"It's not me, but I guess it'......"

"Lady is here!" A skeleton man who was still lying on his stomach suddenly jumped up and screamed loudly! He flapped his skeletal wings on his back, and shouted frantically, "I won't give in, let the Holy Flame rule ......"

And then there was no then - milky heavenly flames answered and gushed out from the cracks in his ribs! The skeletons around them scattered in all directions. As a result, the flame rolled back, burning the summoner himself to ashes.

"Oh, stupid Dave, he forgot that he was no longer a Goldfeather." There are skeletons to say. "Dave is dead, and the once traitorous triumvirate is now only two." Bar owner Augustin leaned out from behind the bar, looked coldly at Derrick, who was still carrying a giant sword, and said, "One." ”

Darik was silent, but most of them glanced in the direction of the wall, which was painted with the image of a man with horns on his head.

"Hey, Dave said lady...... Could it be the lady I know? ”

"Hah! Scared? Save it, what else can the lady do with us? We're dead! The barkeeper said nonsensically, rummaging through the mess of bottles, trying to find some drink. And the lady has fallen, that's for sure. Otherwise, why do you think we can discuss the name here without any injury? Wait, we seem to be ...... Did we discuss this many years ago? ”

Augustine tilted his skull, he always felt that this discussion had happened, and it was terrible that he had lost that part of his memory.

"I seem to have the impression that you say that. Isn't this the first time we've woken up? Someone said.

"Then why did we wake up?" Sitting in the distance, Derrick muttered discontentedly.

"It was her heir who woke us up, and I smelled that smell from the lady. Maybe they've finally finished distributing the lady's powers, and now that I think about it, there are still a few broken houses, I guess. Augustine said. He habitually took the rag and tried to wipe the tin cup, but it all shattered.

"Nope! No one! A skeleton slammed the table excitedly and shouted, "This is our grave, I don't want to be dug up after I die, not even ladies!" ”

"Shhhhh

"Oh, well, no one but the lady!"

Skeletons, "......".

You'll die in a few more seconds! No, it should be that you are already dead and dare not dare to be for a few more seconds?

However, everyone present, look at me, I look at you, and there is still no one who dares to speak disrespectfully to the lady. Those of them who remained in the era of the ring city, their reverence for ladies is deep in their bones. Don't look at Augustin's level 17 now, he was a legendary magician back then, in fact, he was also a mere bar owner...... It's just a place to live and a place to protect guests.

Ever since there was a new betrayer in the bar, Madame's Betrayer, he'd been praying every day that Madam wouldn't kill him—and he didn't have any problem with killing that guy. Go to the principle of stepping on the horse!

They are not simply afraid of the lady, but also have very mixed emotions, which is almost the same among the residents of the city - on the one hand, the lady is not pretentious to anyone, and will kill you if you don't like you! But on the other hand, the lady protects the city from any supernatural forces such as gods, devil lords, and demon princes. Some people say, Io can't do it!

These traitors have survived until now, not by virtue of just three legends, but by the rule that "gods and dogs are not allowed" set by the lady. Otherwise, these racial traitors would have been captured and lit long ago.

"Then ...... today" finally someone talked about the topic. So what should we do when we face the lady's heir?

"Hehe~" No one spoke, but it was Derrick, whose strength had shrunk greatly, who was the first to sneer. Without waiting for anyone else to ask, he said directly, "You say that if the lady is still alive and someone runs up to her and says, 'I am your heir,' what will happen next?" ”

Almost unanimously, everyone immediately thought of the sight of "being struck alive by a swarming blade". So it immediately became clear, yes, how could a lady have an heir.

"Whether it's a god or a demigod, all I have left is this sword and my life. I won't admit any heirs, the ring will always be the lady's ring. The giant skeleton grabbed the cold steel heavy sword and was the first to step out.

"Derrick...... That's right. The bar owner gagged his empty mandible. Wake up all the undead and prepare for a grand welcome ceremony! ”
