Chapter 198 Chasing the murderer!
"The dead still eat."
"That's right."
"Can you make friends?"
"Of course."
"..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, dead people don't fall in love - at least not with living people."
"Oh, that's good."
The king was relieved, but felt a little rude, and quickly ordered the attendants on the left and right to pour wine for Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode picked up the cup and clinked it with the king, then continued to devour it.
It was already getting late.
The emperor ordered to set up camp on the spot.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the emperor immediately became amiable.
Not only did he personally invite Wu Xiaode to dinner, but he also gave Wu Xiaode a sword to thank him for saving his daughter.
The sword is still in the imperial capital.
After returning to the city, Nina summoned him.
The king gave him the sword.
The arrangement was perfect.
"So... how long can you exist every time Nina calls you?" the king asked.
"Forty-five minutes." Wu Xiaode said.
"She treated your injuries last time——"
"Your Majesty, of course our dead will also be injured, there is no doubt about it."
"But we are already dead, what will happen if we get injured again?"
"This is the secret of the kingdom of death. It cannot be told to you living people."
The king sighed.
The palace mage who was accompanying the meal said: "Your Excellency, what category do you belong to in the world of death?"
"This is a secret - if you tell me what your strength is, I will tell you what type of death race I am."
"No problem, I am a level 120 mage. I haven't met a decent opponent for a long time. I wonder what your death race is-"
"Oh, I'm human."
"..." The palace mage opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Wu Xiaode lowered his head to eat, but began to think in his heart.
This mage is very powerful.
According to one soul power level, he has a maximum soul power of 120 points.
100 points more than me.
In ordinary battles, it is already an extremely powerful existence.
But...
He said he hadn't met a decent opponent in a long time.
Hasn't he experienced a legal battle over names?
wrong!
I seem to have overlooked one thing.
During the trial in the Death Plain, a zombie with the title of "King of Mopping" stood up and fought with him.
At that time, all the monsters were as excited as crazy.
And after he defeated it, those monsters immediately gave in.
Whether it’s the destruction of the camp or the fighting on the battlefield—
I didn't seem to see any named guy.
The City of the Holy Name is said to be the place where laws gather. The entire city is full of professionals, but there are only five powerful people standing at the top of the pyramid.
From this point of view, having a name...
Seems rare?
Wu Xiaode wiped his mouth, smiled at the strong men who were eating with him, and said:
"Okay, the summoning time is over, I will go back to the kingdom of death first."
The words fell.
A burst of mist surged from the void and fell on him.
- He disappeared.
In order to strive for realism, Wu Xiaode even spent some soul power to activate the Mist Shadower.
After turning into mist, not only could no one find him, but even magic could not capture his form.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Wu Xiaode regrouped and appeared outside the tent.
Just listen to the king's voice coming from the tent:
"He's really gone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no trace or breath of him here."
"Hey, how could Nina secretly learn the magic of summoning the undead? This is a very dangerous profession."
"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Thanks to Your Highness Nina, you will summon the undead this time. Otherwise, it would be dangerous."
"Have the other bodies been found?"
"No, we are sending people to continue the investigation. We have captured some images of the ambush... There seem to be traces of teleportation in the space."
"..."
Wu Xiaode stopped listening, wrapped in fog, and walked towards another tent.
Nina was in the tent, listening carefully to several necromancers imparting their experience in summoning the undead.
Wu Xiaode walked in, stood behind Nina and listened for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly.
There is too much content.
Not interesting.
In fact, summoning the undead is just one thing:
Summoning rituals are held according to different strength levels.
As soon as the ceremony begins, the corresponding existence in the death world will know——
Oh, here comes the work.
Other than that, other gestures and positions, what to say when meeting for the first time, and equipment such as affinity, are all useless.
The only thing that works is the reward.
Whoever has the patience to listen to your chattering, can do whatever you want as much as you have.
You must take a shower and change clothes, make yourself smell good, and buy a bunch of valuable rings, earrings and necklaces to wear——
This is so embarrassing.
I finally came here. I was planning to do some dirty work and earn some hard money, but it turned out that you were so well prepared——
Are they going to eat you, or are they going to do dirty work?
Just eat it.
Peace of mind.
Wu Xiaode's eyes fell on Nina.
The little girl listened very carefully, silently reciting incantations and waving her fingers from time to time.
The void continued to fluctuate, and finally condensed into runes, which were connected with each other and gradually transformed into a perfect form.
"Your Highness, you are extremely talented in summoning the undead."
A necromancer said sincerely.
"Really? I think it's easy." Nina said with a smile.
Wu Xiaode nodded secretly on the side.
In the Death Cave, the one-eyed giant also said something:
"A sprout with special power fluctuations can definitely serve as the main meal of this meal."
That's what it says about Nina.
It can be seen that Nina's talent is indeed outstanding.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a summoning breath.
A complete summoning circle appeared in front of Nina——
The summoning circle is calling you!
Without the help of a contract?
This is awesome.
Wu Xiaode simply accepted the call.
He dispersed the mist all over his body and appeared directly in the summoning circle.
"Nina, are you looking for me?"
Wu Xiaode smiled.
"Huh? I really summoned you." Nina said in surprise.
"You grew up very fast." Wu Xiaode said.
He winked at Nina.
Nina understood, stood up and said: "Teachers, thank you for your advice. I have learned this much today."
Several necromancers also stood up, bowed to the princess and left.
Only Wu Xiaode and Nina were left in the tent.
"Father didn't make things difficult for you again, right?" Nina asked worriedly.
"No, I have another thing to ask you." Wu Xiaode said.
"Ask."
"Do you remember where you were ambushed?"
"Remember, my father has already sent people, and counting, they are almost there."
"I want to take a look first."
"Okay, but how to get there?"
Wu Xiaode drew out the Chixiao Sword.
"Come, hold the hilt with me," he said.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, it will take us to where you have been."
Swish——
There was a flash of void.
The two disappeared from the tent.
A few breaths have passed.
The king hurried over with several followers.
"Nina? Nina?"
He shouted several times, but found no one responded.
When I opened the tent, there was no one inside.
"What the hell, where's my daughter?"
the king shouted.
"Your Majesty, she summoned the deceased and then asked us to retreat." A necromancer reported.
Deep worry suddenly appeared on the king's face.
"Dear mages, you are all knowledgeable scholars... I have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"A living person... wouldn't fall in love with a dead person."
The mages looked at each other.
"I've never heard of this... Your Majesty."
Suddenly there was a loud hawk's call outside.
Followed by an elegant male voice.
"Your Majesty, the prince is here."
The king looked happy and waved: "Bring him here, I want to tell him about his sister."
……
other side.
There was a flash of void.
Wu Xiaode and Nina landed on a cliff.
The terrain here is very high, and you can see the distant scenery through the dense jungle.
"Is this the place?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Yes, this is the border, and beyond that is the Whispering Forest Country of the elves." Nina said.
Wu Xiaode looked around and found that there were still some traces of fighting around.
There were arrows stuck in the trees.
There are mottled sword marks on the rock surface.
The smell of raging flames still lingered on the ground.
"Did you see the enemy clearly at that time?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"They all wore masks, and their auras were obscured by uniform purple robes. They came quickly and urgently. As soon as they saw each other, they immediately took action without even saying a word." Nina said.
"Then you were teleported to the Death Cave?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Nina thought: "I remember that one of those people did not take any action. He stood behind everyone and recited a long spell silently."
"My accompanying archmage tried to interrupt his chanting several times, but he was stopped by those people who desperately released their spells."
"After the man recited the spell, we appeared in the Death Cave."
Wu Xiaode nodded.
Can send people to the cave of death——
It seems that that person is the target he is looking for.
He continued to look around.
Under the starlight that fills the sky, the scene on the cliff is clearly visible.
Beyond the cliff, across the jungle, you can see a small village.
"That's——"
"It's the border village of the elves. I was going there, but now my father has decided to terminate the mission and take me back."
"Oh..."
Wu Xiaode squinted his eyes, thoughts flashing in his mind.
He suddenly discovered that there were many animals in the surrounding woods, coming out and moving at night.
A snake slithered across the forest floor.
Bobcats gallop by.
The squirrel jumped on the tree to avoid the snake.
A few more nightingales sat on the trees.
Wu Xiaode looked over one by one.
They are just animals, nothing unusual.
Suddenly an idea came into his mind.
"Brother Xiao Wu?"
"It's okay, just stand where you are and I'll look around."
He walked toward the woods.
All the birds parked on the branches looked at him warily.
He also looked at the birds.
"Heavenly Will" activates!
A moment.
Corresponding emotional symbols suddenly appeared next to the birds:
(⊙⊙)
(⊙⊙)
(⊙⊙)
(⊙⊙)
(-ω)︻┻┳══━一
Wu Xiaode stopped.
...There is a traitor among the birds.
The magical mist of silence emitted from Wu Xiaode's body, covering the surroundings silently. (End of chapter)
