Chapter 936: The Happy Life of a Non-mainstream Undead Couple
A muscular, pale and thin "man", with a simple girdle and linen clothes, was lying on the edge of a medicine field, loosening the soil with a small shovel. Obviously, this lich whose strength has reached the 5th level of gold is still unwilling to give up his memories and appearance before his death, and he still uses a lot of magic power to solidify his body. Lu Xi felt that this was actually a good habit, which not only made his appearance closer to that of a living person, but also did not let outsiders catch him blindly. To be honest, if he didn't have Kryptonite Dog Eyes, even he would really have a hard time distinguishing who those lichs and skeletons were.
If the undead lords want to keep themselves up with the times, and if they want to adapt to the ever-changing and cruel outside society, they must at least show the responsibility and consciousness of Mr. Bonien.
In short, the handsome living dead in front of him, dressed like a gardener—actually quite handsome from a zombie's point of view—was the one who had subverted his impression of the lich.
Sensing the footsteps outside the door, Bonion put down his shovel and stood up.
"Why is it so busy today, Elder Agrim, do you have time to visit you too?" He turned his head and just said hello when his gaze stopped on Lu Xi's face.
"Long time no see, Mr. Bonienre." Lu Xi bowed his head and said.
“…… Oh, yes! It's been a long time, Master Lu Xi. A mixed look of remembrance and remembrance flashed across the lich's face, and then a smile turned into a smile before he raised his head and shouted into the room, "Selmina! There are guests, let's see who's coming! ”
Thereupon. There is a one-sided relationship between Henas and Lu Xi, and he said that he has the highest value of the Necromantic Knight Captain he has ever seen. Selmina, who was a half-elf ranger at the end of her life, also walked out of the room. She seems to be more affected by the necromancy and negative energy than her husband, and is not at all as outgoing and affectionate as the latter. still has a zombie face that makes people look creepy. However, at this time, she was wearing a very ordinary home clothes, wearing a painted Q version of the rabbit and an apron, and her long silver-gray hair was combed into a young woman's bun at the back of her head, fixed with a very elaborate hairpin.
Although her skin was pale, her cheeks were sunken, and she couldn't see a clear pupil in her eyes, only a green nether fire that flickered and danced, it was supposed to be a shape that could stop a child's night crying. But it was dressed in a special home attire, which set off quite a sense of life.
She glanced at everyone outside the door, and her gaze stayed on Lu Xi's body for a few more seconds. Lu Xi could feel the hesitation, hesitation and even a slight hostility in the other party's emotions, but in the end, the former necromantic knight still bowed slightly to Lu Xi, and it was a friendly greeting.
"I'm sorry, Uchiko has always been like this. You're a rare guest, so come and rest. I think. You have a lot of things to ask, right? The lich stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and warmly invited. If it weren't for the dead face that was too obvious, it would look like an ordinary folk family.
“…… Too many to ask. Why are you and Madame Selmina here? What the hell is going on with this so-called shelter? These new partners of yours. What kind of existence is it? Lu Xi shook his head in distress: "It's so complicated, but I don't know where to start." ”
"Don't worry, little friend Lu Xi. Since you can find it, it means that this is also a choice of fate. I'll put everything you ever want to know. Tell you all. The ghost elder smiled with a sense of historical precipitation and vicissitudes: "Yes, everything. Because, this will also be the choice of fate. ”
Destiny? Lu Xi couldn't help but stare at each other with the eyes of "You old man, don't fool people with a god".
"Drink...... Alive, or at my age, I am always very indifferent to everything around me. He looked at Lu Xi, his translucent face was really full of divine chatter in every wrinkle.
"Are your new friends really okay?" Lu Xi turned his head slightly and looked at Gillett, although he didn't speak, he thought that his eyes should express this quite perfectly.
"Hmm...... Actually, everyone is a good person, you just need to get used to it. The half-elf swordsman laughed awkwardly twice and gave a thumbs up: "Actually, that's how I came here myself." ”
The house where the undead couple lived in seclusion was not very large, and even if you had made an invitation, you would not have been able to squeeze so many people into it so shamelessly. The elder's ghost immediately drove the rest away, taking only himself and Killit. However, when it was said to be "drive away", the half-elf zombie fighter named Mondson and the familiar ghost who didn't know the name yet did not go far, just dangling around the house, and they were not ready to stay away at all.
It seems that they are not completely at ease with Lu Xi.
Tsk, it doesn't matter if you don't worry, as long as the person in charge here can rest assured. Anyway, as the protagonist, Zai Xia is a rather magnanimous person.,It's really too lazy to have the general knowledge of doing things with your group of subordinates.。
The lich, who was the husband, had just taken a seat in the room with three guests—though theoretically the translucent, disembodied ghost didn't need to sit at all; The Necro Knight's wife quickly served snacks and drinks that were quite brightly colored and seemed to be very appetizing, and the undead did not strictly need to eat, which was probably specially prepared for the guests.
After walking for such a long time, and slashing and fighting, Lu Xi also felt a little thirsty. He picked up a drink and took a careful sip.
…… There's nothing strange about it. But isn't this the equivalent of boiled water with bright colors? In this way, these snacks may just be fancy enough, right?
"We are undead after all! There is no sense of taste for a long time. Even if we bring the glittering delicacies from the comics to us, we can't taste them. Don't look at me like that, one of the biggest advantages of being in Neosfia is that you can easily get the latest information and literature. I've recently been hooked on a book called What's It...... Well. The juvenile novel of "The Body of the Sword", the illustrations in it are really interesting. The dishes made by the protagonists will be shiny, and the judges will eat it more like they have been poured with spring (meow) medicine. Although I have a hard time understanding why the cooking duel can be like a duel between the Grand Magus and the Juggernaut. Still, it's really interesting. The lich said with a grin.
It's even harder for me to understand what a lich who can read novels is. However, considering that Titans who read light novels and comics have also existed, I'll accept this egg-hurting setting.
"Although we can no longer eat the texture and taste of the food, Uchiko and I both feel that if we have to cook on the fire at home, we will have the taste and texture of life. So, I simply put more effort into the visual of dishes and snacks and drinks. It's not me who mouths, it's just my colorful visual senses. Even the big restaurants upstairs with five-star reviews are not as good as ours. ”
In other words, the more gorgeous and colorful the color, the better it looks...... However, people's pride is actually very well-founded.
In any case, this lich and necromantic knight couple are truly very good at life, and can find joy in life no matter what the situation is. Although they are no longer "alive" at all, they know what it means to be wonderful than 99% of the living. What is taste, what is fun, what is view.
Lu Xi thinks that people who have taste and know how to live wonderful ideas are proficient. It must be a person with wisdom, even if it is a lich, it is worthy of admiration. Thereupon. For the first time in his life, he was in awe of a dead spirit.
"I originally thought that after the death of His Royal Highness True Ancestor Yawen. We will not have the opportunity to meet again. Master Lu Xi, fate is really a wonderful thing! ”
“…… Sorry. After everything is understood. I should have paid a special visit to thank you, but life is always full of accidents, and plans never keep up with changes. In addition, I have to apologize for the foolishness of some of my colleagues. Lu Xi bowed his head to express his apology, and then pointed to his nose unashamedly and said, "I hope you don't have any bad thoughts about the group of magicians because of this." Actually, there are quite a few mages like me, friendly, gracious, and normal. ”
"Huh...... We've had some unpleasant experiences with the Learned Alliance since you left, but that doesn't make me directly hostile to the entire group of mages. The lich couldn't help but smile dumbly: "You are you, and the alliance is the alliance, this is quite clear to me and my grandson. ”
I see, no wonder this necromantic knight sister with a paralyzed face saw me, although she didn't behave very kindly, she still didn't give much face and didn't turn her face on the spot.
"But how did you come up with the idea of living in seclusion here? It is true that Her Highness has left, but Her Highness Serena has already been crowned, right? The newly-born kingdom of Henas is the land of the goddess of the moon and the hunt, and she herself should be willing to protect you. What's more, the current commander of the coalition forces stationed in Khnas should be His Royal Highness Crown Prince Artoria of Vecchia, who is a master who doesn't rub sand in her eyes. I sent her a letter detailing your exploits. With her character, she should give you notarized treatment. ”
"Her Highness Artoria specially received us, and even toasted us personally at the Coalition Celebration Banquet, clearly confirming our merits to all sides of the Coalition Forces, and issuing a death order that no one should be disrespectful to us. To tell the truth, I have only seen His Highness in my life with such a noble character and a model of a perfect knight. The lich said with emotion. Audibly, he was truly grateful to Artoria. Then he looked at Lu Xi narrowly: "And it's such a heroic beauty, Master Lu Xi, you have a good eye!" ”
Nonsense, my sister's paper is the best, does this objective truth still need you to repeat?
"Also, Her Highness Selena did invite us to stay with her for a long time...... Even the manor and laboratory dedicated to me were ready. If I stay, I will become a magic advisor and alchemy advisor to the nascent kingdom of the Henas bloodline, right? That's going to be a very powerful position. ”
"But?" Lu Xi sighed.
"But you must know that I was the chief armor master of Henas for more than a hundred years in the era of the Plague King! I don't know how many people have died under the undead dragons, poisonblade chariots, plague ballistas, and towers of revenants that I oversaw and made with my own hands......"
"It's not your fault." Lu Xi shook his head: "You're just a part-time worker." The lighthouse nation's arms dealers are all over the world as death merchants, and they, and their backstage, the military giants, are indeed supposed to hang street lamps with their families, but they haven't heard of the responsibility of the workshop director of the arsenal. ”
"Yes! It would be great if everyone felt the same way. The elder ghost sighed heavily, but looked at Lu Xi's eyes with more and more relief.
If it's really a game, there should be a hint that the opinion is increased by 5, right? But then again, why do I have to brush the favorability of an old grandfather's ghost?
"It's not all...... The prejudice and hatred against the undead lords that have accumulated over the years is actually only one aspect, and the most important thing is that I am the head of the armory workshop, and I also have a lot of knowledge in alchemy. He looked very confident: "All the designs and manufacturing methods of all the demonic weapons of Henas are in my head. In the Battle of Farahals, the self-exploding crows that cornered almost the entire Federation and the empty whale zombies that could transport troops were actually my works. For the Federation and the Academic Alliance, my existence is destined to be a great hidden danger, right? Master Lu Xi, you are the hero of that battle, you should have the most right to speak, right? ”
…… you, you're one of these lichs? Purely in terms of combat performance, this is the first person who is still alive to design a magic weapon! I didn't realize that you were such a powerful person.,I didn't come early to brush your favorability and let you bow down.,As a protagonist.,What a gaffe.。
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Academic Alliance shouldn't want my people to evaporate, it should be that I am under their control. The great lich of the past generations of Henas and the people in charge of the alchemy workshop have not talked about their character, but there are many intelligent people, and they have left behind a lot of reliable and executable research materials...... For the Scholarly Alliance, these are actually very valuable assets. ”
"And they can absorb that wealth very quickly. Don't forget, Kazan was originally an arcane cultivator before, and necromancy can also be understood as the use of negative energy in an arcane way, so there are too many lessons for both sides in the development of alchemy magic weapons...... If it weren't for the notorious necromancy that is too distorted and too easy to distort personality, the Alliance might have been ready to add necromancy to the arcane category. Lu Xi sighed: "It's really a crime...... So, are you being persecuted by the Learned Alliance? ”
"After you left, investigators from two alliances came to the Federation, and they went directly to Her Royal Highness Selena to ask for someone, and behaved very arrogantly and rudely. As you know, Her Royal Highness Selena is not an amiable girl, and a conflict broke out with the other party on the spot. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Nord army led by Her Highness Artoria, the Blood Clan and the Federation garrison would have fought on the spot......"
"Hemp Egg...... I was embarrassed to hear it. My dignified protagonist, how can there be such a lowly colleague! Lu Xi lifted his forehead and sighed, suddenly feeling that he had nothing to love.
"I thought that staying any longer would only cause trouble for Her Highness Selena, so I decided to leave...... In addition, Her Royal Highness Artoria also asked for my opinion that I could find a place in Vicchia for me to live in. However, the plateau empire in the north is too cold, and I and my inner people are both southerners, so we must not be able to adapt to that climate, so after thinking about it seriously, I finally came to Neosphia. ”
Even if you want to talk nonsense in a serious way, you have to talk about common sense and logic, right? They have become undead and are especially afraid of the cold, so you simply say that you are afraid of ghosts. (To be continued.) )
PS: Early tomorrow morning, it's not District 11, I took my daughter-in-law to play for ten days, and I didn't return home until the evening of the 25th, so I asked for leave, well, that's it......
