Chapter 158: A Paradise for the Dead
"Occupied by the dead?" Lingyuzi also looked into the distance, curiosity was aroused, and dead people can write?
Irene suddenly thought of something, and while resting in the town she had passed by not long ago, she overheard passers-by talking about a strange country.
It is said to be a wonderful country that entertains tourists with monsters called ghouls, and it is very interesting.
It seems to be called "Paradise for the Dead"?
Is that what you mean?
Dead and ghouls should be about the same.
A few people unconsciously sped up their speed at the small black dot in their field of vision, wanting to reach the city gate under the huge sign as soon as possible and figure out what the so-called "occupied by the dead, not entered by the living".
It was a small country surrounded by high walls, and it was impossible to see the country clearly from abroad, and there was also a door that had to be held by looking up.
Adjacent to it, there is a door of the same size as an ordinary house, and a yellowed paper is pasted on it, not to mention conspicuous, but very deliberate.
"Why aren't there any guards here?" Irena tried to knock on the door, but there were a few quiet noises, but there was no response.
"The land of the dead, isn't it possible that a few skeletons will come out to help you register?" Yahara and Zero Yuko walked over to the human-sized door and examined the words on it.
"This place has been taken over by dead people, please do not enter."
It's quite polite, Yahara couldn't help but smile, and then read the dirty handwriting below:
"However, there may be other survivors besides us. If you are a strong man of courage, go into the country and save the people inside. ”
The inconspicuous doorknob hangs an "open" sign.
"Irena, you're not going to be scared by the sudden appearance of a dead person, are you?" Zero Yuzi turned his head to look at Irena who remained in place, his eyes flickered, and he quipped.
"Huh? Of course I won't, I'm a real witch, a strong man with courage! In order to prove her courage, Irena had a serious and upright face, pushed away the night gate and squeezed to the front:
"Just let me be the first strong man!"
The creaking sound and the sight of a very interesting scene.
The weathered, half-ruined buildings fell to the ground in a scattered manner, crawling with green vines. The streets stretching from the gate to the country are piled up with the wreckage and rubble of buildings, and weeds poke their heads out from the broken walls.
"This is really a complete destruction of the country." Marveling at the infinite vitality of nature, Yahara can tell at a glance that the rubble and vines are not simple props.
It's the chaos caused by real unmanaged.
The road surface is potholed, and from time to time there are potholes that accumulate rainwater, mixed with the disgusting smell of green garbage floating on the surface.
In order to avoid the invasion of the stench as much as possible, Irena took the lead in taking out a broom and floating leisurely in the air, which was much more comfortable than the light body technique that Yahara controlled with the blessing of the wind element.
But it's also a different experience.
As he went deeper, the shadow roared out of the collapsed building and swooped straight for the night plain behind him.
"it!"
Yahara hurriedly rallied up and turned to dodge the attack of the unknown object below - this thing stinks.
The zero man in front of him raised his legs and took off, turned around and stood at the tail of the broom, a twenty-centimeter-long magic wand appeared in his hand, and with a slight wave, two silver snake-like thunderbolts flashed and hit instantly!
The figure crashed into the puddle below, making a small splash, wisps of white smoke rising from its charred body.
"Is this the ghoul used to make props? Isn't it going to be broken? ”
Turning the direction of the broomstick, Irena secretly felt bad, and hurriedly explained to Yahara and Zero Yuko what she had heard in the town earlier.
The unknown creature suspected of being a ghoul was an unusually burly man from the outside, lying flat in a puddle with a large sword in his right hand, his visibly rotten blue-gray face charred black, his eyes hollow, and his body convulsing spasmodically from time to time due to the residual electricity.
The unconscious open mouth still has a fishy mucus flowing from it.
"It's fast, Zero, you're getting better at using this magic." Marveling at Zero's quick counterattack, Yahara smiled and touched her hair.
By the time the trip to the country was over, the promise of Anatoly to protect Irena for three months had almost come to an end, and it was time to make another trip to Celesteria.
If Princess Mira Rosse is really interested in Zero, as she said, she may be able to teach what she has learned, so that Zero's own ability to protect herself can be greatly improved.
If the plan is different, isn't there still a professional teacher, Fran?
A few bottles of potion are enough to get it in exchange.
Yahara is thinking about how to further improve the magic level of the Zero-Yuzi, but Irena is studying the condition of the ghouls, worried that she will lose money for destroying public property.
After a long time, Irena woke up like a big dream, and stepped forward to pat Yahara on the shoulder: "We... Why don't you go find someone else and see if you can reduce the compensation for this item? ”
The little more than one who shot pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes were a little flustered.
No, is this disgusting-looking guy a prop? The taste of this country is truly unique.
After the discussion, the three of them left the charred ghoul and continued to fly forward, looking for the living in a calm and oppressive atmosphere.
But......
The ghouls looked up at the figures flying on their broomsticks, moaning but not chasing them, like cheering fans on the sidelines.
"It's really nostalgic." Zero Yuzi muttered unconsciously, this kind of scene has only been seen in the nightly lottery announcement of the hotel, and the fanatical sense of anticipation is always so contagious.
"Hey, look! It's a witch, and a magician, and someone has come to save us! ”
"Hey~! Help me~! ”
Two loud and eager voices came from a huge house, prominent in a city full of ghoul moans.
"Mr. Yahara, let's go over and have a look." Irena looked down at the ghouls who were singing in chorus below, her scalp tingling.
"Okay."
Entering the huge building, standing in front of the three of them was a messy brown-haired, bespectacled woman with a huge and imposing sword hanging from her waist.
and a man in full armor, who was even skeptical that he could see the way.
"It's really wonderful! Trapped in a room for the first time after a week of encountering a living person. The woman was so excited that she was about to pounce when she saw it.
"Can you explain the situation in this country?" Enduring the stench emanating from the armored man's body, Yahara's face changed slightly, and he directly asked the most critical question.
"Alas, as you can see, the country is completely in ruins, completely overrun by ghouls." The woman spread her hands and sighed.
Let's get off the book
"Oh yes, can you tell me your names? You can't always avoid titles, right? The man in armor asked, paying attention to the details of etiquette.
"It's fine." complained about this realistic version of the Resident Evil setting in his heart, and Yahara told them after waving his hand.
In this way, the slogan "The dead occupy, the living do not enter" is quite appropriate?
