The Exotic Land Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons

Chapter 23 The Old Witch

In a simple room in Frost City, Anna Luofang inserted her fingers into her messy hair and rubbed her scalp vigorously, trying to soothe her numb head due to overuse. Root hair, which made her mood worse.

"If it goes on like this, my hair will fall out, ah ah ah ah!!" Anna said frantically: "I'm just a princess, why do you want me to do these things!!"

"Because your brother ran away." In the shadow of the corner, a thin black figure hugged his arms and responded slowly.

"Damn Luther, these things should have been done by him, he is the number one!" Anna was even more mad, her brother who was number one ran quietly and threw all these things to her.

It's no good to deal with it. When my brother comes back, the position of the city lord will still be his.If you don't handle it well, it's her who is the culprit.

"You can leave it alone," said the shadow in the corner.

Anna shook her head with a serious expression on her face: "No, that abominable demon is still hiding in the east and west, and raided our weakly defended planting area. If we don't find him, we will fall into a serious food shortage next year. ."

Hei Ying was silent for a while, and sighed helplessly: "It's really too vicious, our planting areas are too scattered, and some are connected by karst caves, extending in all directions, as long as a demon sneaks in quietly and sets fire to fields everywhere, resulting in no food for us. We have no choice but to scatter our soldiers to every grain-producing area and surround him in vain."

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely catch them. When I catch them, I will tie him up and throw him to the Lich City, and let those Liches tear him and his soul to pieces." Anna said viciously.

"You may have misunderstood the lich, they have long since torn up their souls, but it doesn't matter, how did you catch the demon with the information on the table?" Sombra asked inexplicably.

Anna's mouth curved into a confident smile: "Every time an incident occurs, a lot of information is revealed, such as incidents one to three, which all happened consecutively, but there was a gap between incidents three and four. Three days, but only one day's journey between the two places, where did he go for the two days in between?"

Hei Ying thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Tired?"

"Yes, that's right. With the planting area of ​​these two incidents as the center, where are the places to rest within two days? The arsonist is likely to be the lava demon. He likes lava the most." Anna opened a map , put it on the table.

The black shadow couldn't help walking out of the shadows in the corner, revealing a wrinkled face and a thin body. The exposed face and arm skin were covered with rune-like tattoos.

If anyone who knows this kind of tattoo is present, they will definitely exclaim - Holy Light Corpse Witch!Moreover, it is a corpse witch purified by the church, and those tattoos are the traces of purification magic marks branded on the skin.

In the human world, undead creatures are classified as heretics by the church, and they will be purified when caught. The church believes that the common method is to not kill the lich. Only by purification can their bodies and souls be destroyed together. Souls can turn into undead and escape.

Roll up the Shroud and burn with flames until body and soul are reduced to ashes.

This actually makes sense, because some lichs are really indestructible by ordinary methods, because they make phylactery.

Refine your heart into a phylactery, put it in a special container, and hide it in a safe place, and the heart is replaced by the fire of the soul. In this way, even if you are killed, you can be reborn through the phylactery.

In response to this kind of lich, the church has also invented a corresponding method. First wrap it in a holy shroud, then burn it with flames, and burn the body and soul together. In this way, the lich who is reborn with the help of the phylactery will lose everything memory, and there will be a mark on the body that cannot be erased by rebirth.

Sombra is a lich who has been purified and reborn, but she has lost her memory before her rebirth. She doesn't remember who she is or how she died. She only sees a word on the badge inscribed on the phylactery— -Lan, so she is called Lan now.

Lan came to the table to take a look, and quickly found a name on the map: "Here, Ronghe."

"Yes, it's in the molten river. There is only magma in this area. It's the devil's favorite environment." Anna said.

Lan nodded: "It makes sense, but this is all speculation, and you have no evidence to prove that your speculation is true."

Anna smiled and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lan: "I have already sent someone to investigate, and the demon's footprints were indeed found on the road leading to the molten river, and demons really passed by during that time.

Lan was silent for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "You are so amazing, you really let you catch his trace."

"That's it." Anna raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "That's how I deduced that he is a lava demon and judged that he needs lava to restore his strength. Just know his rest interval and pay attention to those places with lava. , there is always a chance to block him."

"It needs to be as soon as possible. If he sets a few more fires, we will have a big shortage of food next year, and many people will starve to death." Lan said.

"Don't worry, I have already contacted the human world through the teleportation array. They have a good harvest of food there. As long as they can afford the price, they can use a large teleportation array to deliver one-way delivery, and send dozens of tons of food at one time."

Lan shook his head: "The cost is too high. Just to open a large transfer station requires more than a dozen magic crystals. We don't have a corresponding large-scale teleportation array here, and the world transfer station here cannot be opened a long time ago. That's enough, but one-way delivery requires hundreds of magic crystals. If we scavenge all the valuable things in our dungeons, we can't get so many magic crystals.

Ana scratched her scalp frantically, and said irritably, "What can I do? Waiting to starve to death? The Lich City is also short of food. Some time ago, they sent someone to ask for food, but I rejected it. If they have more food, it would be nice to support us."

Just when Anna was scratching her head irritably, the soldier came to announce: "Report to Her Royal Highness, Lisa Augustus of Lich City for an interview."

"Lisa August? Who? Didn't Eske come here before? Why is there a new person this time?" Anna murmured in confusion.

Lan's eyes flashed brightly: "This is not a newcomer, this is the real master of Lich City, this old witch hasn't emerged for hundreds of years, I thought she was dead, let's meet, This old lich is not easy."

"The real owner of the Lich City? Isn't the city owner Mr. Feilin?" Anna's curiosity was hooked, and she hurriedly sorted out her makeup and clothes, preparing to go to the meeting.

"Ferrin is afraid of his wife, this is his wife."

When they came to the reception room, there was only a plump, fair-skinned young woman in a black gauze dress sitting there, not the 'old witch' that Lan described.

Lan's attention did not fall on the young woman in the black gauze skirt, but looked towards the door of the reception room and asked unceremoniously, "What about your old witch named Augustus?"

The young woman in the black veil turned her head, with a careless smile hanging from the corner of her mouth, she said lazily, "Are you talking about my old witch called Augustus?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Lan turned his gaze to the face of the young woman in the black gauze skirt in awe, frowning.

She and Lisa met in the state of a lich. The Lisa she knew was a shriveled, thin, ashes, and withered corpse witch like her. The plump and moist woman in front of her looked a bit like her. The old witch?Sounds like that too?How is this going?

The young woman in the black veil slowly opened her mouth and said, "Lan, the title of the old witch, it seems that only you can enjoy it in the future."

Lan's expression changed drastically, and she burst into anger: "It turns out it's really you! August, you are so hateful, you actually invaded the body of a living person?! I'll beat you to death!"

"What?! No no no, you misunderstood, this is my body, hello, stop, oh, don't slap me in the face, stop, you'll turn me in the face again."

Looking at Lisa and Lan who were pounding into a ball, Anna, who wanted to go up to help, suddenly came to a recollection and stopped.

The two thousand-year-old lich did not use magic, but fought like a child with their bare hands. If it was a real fight, Anna would dare to eat this chair.

Sure enough, after fighting for a while, the two liches stopped with disheveled hair, but Lan, who was thin and thin, had disheveled hair, and was very embarrassed, while Lisa, who was plump and moist, had disheveled hair, but had a different kind of style.

Lan asked both angry and jealous: "How did you become like this? Are you really not occupying the body of a living person?"

Powerful lich and undead have the ability to invade the body of a living person, but the living person will die, and the body will lose its vitality. It can only maintain its vitality for two or three days before it begins to rot.If it wasn't for the occupation, Lan couldn't think of any way to make a lich so alive.

Lisa smiled slightly and asked lightly, "If you have the opportunity to regain your body's vitality and become like me, what price are you willing to pay?"

　Thank you panda for the reward for drinking coffee without sugar
