Chapter 223 The Living and the Dead

The reason why William has a deep impression on this spell is that Because Neh liked to use this spell to preserve the corpses he served. Especially in emergencies, when he had to use the corpse on the spot, he would use this technique to temporarily delay the decay of the corpse.

In this way, the forty-three undead have not been corrupted for such a long time.

“But…is that so?”

Ebony asked William in a low voice in disbelief.

No matter how you look at it, there is not the slightest sign of corruption on the young man in front of him. Even if the corruption of the corpse can be delayed, the face of the other party still shows all the sanity that a living person should have – his eyes are bright and energetic, without the slowness and delay of the undead at all.

In this world, it is true that because of the influence of undead magic, the dead think they are still alive. Rather, based on the nature of undead magic as memory, if it is not under the control of the caster, the awakened undead must be constantly repeating the behavior of the previous life.

But memories are forgotten, just as corpses decay.

No matter how complete the memory is, it is impossible to be more vivid than the current experience.

Ebony still remembered that after saving these people, he had discussed with them many times about rebelling against the Duke of Holy Tree, and made various preparations. Even if they are really the undead who repeat their past memories, they should find clues from them based on their contact with them for the past six months.

It shouldn’t be what it is now.

William was also very puzzled about Ebony’s question.

The forty-three people, including the boy in front of them, are undoubtedly undead who have lost their lives. William has already confirmed this through [Dead Detection]. If you want to interfere with your own detection, you need to use the Illusion Technique that reaches the Divine Domain level to have some possibilities – in other words, there is basically no such possibility. There should be no existence in this city that can do this; even if there is, what’s the point of making people mistake a group of living people for undead with so much trouble?

However, it is unlikely that Ebony has been working with a group of undead for so long without finding any clues… Even if William thinks this guy named Ebony around him is not a smart person, but It is absolutely impossible to be stupid to this extent.

“Master Wu Old Mu? Aren’t you going in?”

The forest elf boy asked with some doubts when he saw the two people who stopped in place and seemed to be in a daze.

Ebony, who came back to his senses, turned his head to see William’s reaction first, and at this time, the other’s voice echoed in his mind again.

+It’s as good as usual, don’t show anything abnormal+

hearing this, the ebony nodded, then looked at the boy and said:

“Well, come on. I’m in a hurry today, and I didn’t bring any supplies…” While talking, Ebony and William followed behind the boy, going deeper into the root space. go.

This section of the road is not far away, and after turning a few corners, they arrived at the gathering place of the rebels “rescued” by Ebony.

In the middle of the gathering place, there is a lamp holder the size of a hot air balloon, with a group of buzzing lampworms flying inside.

This large lamp base provides a cool, moon-like light source with a rune that adjusts the intensity of the light inscribed on the base. On the one hand, it provides basic lighting for the gathering place, and on the other hand, it synchronizes the alternation of day and night on the ground through the change of light and shade.

Besides the lamp base, the peaked tents made of animal bones and furs are regularly arranged in several rows, staggered to enclose an open space with the lamp base as the core. In the open space, the forest elves in small groups are either practicing with bone weapons, or carving and making magic items under the illumination of lights.

To be honest, this place looks more like the impression that the forest elves gave William in the past than the Holy Tree city outside.

Seeing Ebony coming, many forest elves either stood up or bowed their heads to salute him.

Of course, after seeing William behind him, these people all frowned without exception. It seems that the people here are not very welcoming to human beings.

Ebony waved a simple gesture in return, and then walked straight to a forest elf who was about the same size as him. He looked at the other party and said solemnly:

“Solo, trouble you. Call everyone here, I have something to discuss with you here.”

The forest elf named Solo did not reply, his eyes have been staring at Ebony from the very beginning. William behind. His pupils were full of tyrannical murderous light. It was not until Ebony reminded him several times in an aggravated tone that he said as if he came back to his senses:

“Mr. The one who can liberate the forest elves in the omens revealed by the mother?”

Ebony nodded.

Because the prophecy about the “big mother” is too important, Ebony has never told anyone except Solo, who is in charge of the security work here. Because he knew that even if the secret base was discovered and wiped out by the Duke of Holy Tree, the person in front of him would never reveal anything he knew.

Although everyone present has some grudge against the Duke of Holy Tree, no one can compare to this man.

“But you didn’t say it, it would be a human.”

The forest elf named Solo spat on the ground, as if he didn’t want to say that word. .

Ebony’s expression continued nodded with some helplessness.

Solo heard this pursing his lips, grinding his teeth lightly, and then gnashing his teeth said:

“A human would be the liberator of the forest elves? Are you sure? Is the revelation you saw from the ‘Big Mother’ true? Or did you confuse your dreams because you were not sober that day?”

“I am the listener of the ‘Big Mother’, if you Even if you want to question this, I suggest you leave here and find that woman desperately.”

Ebony replied calmly.

Seeing this, the young boy who led the way also interjected:

“Big Brother Luo, this human was also rescued from the Duke by Old Mu, so it must be You can trust it! After all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.”

“The one who was rescued?”

This sentence had the opposite effect in Solo. Fiercely looking at William, he said:

“Then why do we want a human who is weaker than that slut? We can’t even protect ourselves…”

“Solo!”

In response, Ebony’s voice raised a few degrees, and he said with wide eyes:

“I’ll explain the details later, if you don’t plan to leave now and go it alone, then Please go ahead and call everyone over now.”

The forest elf named Solo heard this, stabbed William with his eyes in resentment, and after hesitating for a moment, he was extremely reluctant. turned away.

After seeing the other party walking away, Ebony turned his head and looked towards William and said:

“As you said, I deliberately provoked the other party’s fierce emotions. A kind of intense anger that comes from in the depth of one’s soul, impossible is a necromancy, right?”

On the way here, William had been following the voice of the soul through [Soul Voice]. Ebony is having a conversation. Ebony deliberately didn’t correct the teenager’s perception of William, just to provoke Solo and prove it to William.

Only a person with a soul can have the passion of life.

But William replied:

“Such a proof is too shaky. Or try it out as I suggest? Tell them all that they’re undead. People.”

It is not uncommon in history for the dead to think they are still alive. Even because it is so common, it has become a horror story Sect circulated in the bard.

And William in the past has experienced a similar thing personally – it was in the year 876 of the platinum calendar, when the royal family of the Blackwater Kingdom at that time, in order to test the feasibility of the tide of the undead of the rotten moon, a certain village was destroyed. More than a hundred villagers were converted into undead. It was done overnight, and in the early morning of the second day, the dead continued to wake up according to the habit of being alive. Then they continued to live peacefully for more than a month, and no one noticed their abnormality.

Finally, a pharmacist who worked outside all the year round came home and met his parents who couldn’t make a normal voice because their vocal cords were completely rotted.

When the parents saw their rare son, they brought the maggot-covered turkey, the moldy bread, and the trembling hands with their fingers exposed. A warm welcome is given to wines that have already turned sour.

The pharmacist was frightened and ran out of the village on the spot, and ran to the nearest Holy Spirit Church to seek help. However, because the power of the church in the Blackwater Marsh area was declining, the local church entrusted the entire group of William who happened to be here to investigate and purify the village.

William remembers that this is the initial quest to start the “Undead Rotten Moon” big branch.

When William and the others arrived at the village, it was no longer the place where “everyone seemed normal, but there was a weird atmosphere everywhere” as described by the pharmacist earlier, but completely out of control. A slaughterhouse where the undead attack any creature indiscriminately.

What caused all this was the pharmacist’s rush to escape. His behavior made his parents, who had become undead, discover the truth that he had died, and used this as a fuse to detonate the undead in the entire village out of control.

Therefore, William’s plan was to tell everyone about this directly to see if they would wake up.

“Absolutely not.”

However, for this proposal, Ebony shook his head firmly and refused.
