Nasaric's tomb, the lowest level.
The succubus' words shocked everyone present.
"Lord Ainz, Shatiya Bradford has been confirmed dead."
"Is that true?"
Sitting on the throne was a huge skeleton. It was wearing a mage's robe, and its pitch-black eye sockets were flashing with dark red rays of negative energy.
"Yes, it has been confirmed that her name has disappeared from the list."
The Succubus nodded and said. Upon hearing her report, the others looked at each other and revealed a solemn expression. As a vampire, Shatiya was considered one of the most powerful beings among them. But now, she was actually killed?
"What's going on? Can you confirm it? "
"Sorry, so far, we haven't gotten any useful information."
The High Demon in a suit standing next to him said in a low voice.
"I suggest we resurrect Shatiya immediately and get some information."
"I think so too."
Hearing the High Demon's answer, the Lich on the throne nodded.
"Then, get ready immediately."
Soon, the gold coins used for resurrection were ready. The Lich stood up and raised the golden staff in his hand.
"Shatiya, resurrect!"
Following the Lich's roar, a ray of light was released from the golden staff in his hand. At the same time, the mountain of gold coins began to melt, condense, and …
"Nothing?"
Looking at the empty ground in front of him, the Lich could not hide the panic in his voice.
"What's going on? We've already used up the gold coins, why hasn't Shatiya resurrected?! "
Seeing this, the others also showed expressions of surprise and unease. For them, death was not the end. As long as their Supreme Eminence was still alive, they could be resurrected. But now, the dead Shatiya did not resurrect?
What the hell was going on?!
"Lord Ainz, please calm down."
Just as everyone was discussing among themselves, the Higher Devil once again stepped forward.
"Although we can't confirm what happened, we can be sure that Shatiya has been killed and cannot be resurrected. This is a major threat to us. I suggest we investigate what happened as much as possible before making a decision. "
"That's right."
The Lich heaved a sigh of relief and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"But no matter what, Shatiya is dead. We can't just turn a blind eye to it. Shatiya is a member of the Great Necropolis of Nasaric. Attacking her is a provocation to us!"
As he spoke, the Lich King waved his hand.
"Everyone, listen up! Immediately send people to investigate what happened! If you have any clues, report it to me immediately, understand? "
"Yes!"
For Fangzheng and the others, they didn't care about the graveyard or the morgue. After eliminating the vampire, the group continued to move forward and soon arrived at their destination. When the Adventurers Guild learned that Fangzheng and the others had eliminated the vampire that had been wreaking havoc near the city for the past two days, they immediately carried out an investigation. After determining that everything was true, they gave them a considerable reward.
Because Fangzheng was not an adventurer, he only gave them some money. As for the Priestess, Hui Hui and Aiz, who were adventurers, they all received a reward for leveling up. Although they did not play any role in the final battle against the powerful vampire, they were the ones who killed the previous few vampires. This was confirmed by Fangzheng and the caravan, so the Adventurers Guild also upgraded the three from the original Porcelain level to the Obsidian level …. This made the three of them quite excited.
Because of this, Hui Hui excitedly suggested going to the tavern. The others, of course, did not refuse. Therefore, everyone went to the tavern and had a big meal.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to level up to the Obsidian level."
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the group returned to the inn to rest. On the way back, Hui Hui was still jumping around excitedly.
"Looks like it's only a matter of time before I reach Platinum. When that time comes, the whole world will know the name of the great Red Devil magician Hui Hui! A few mere vampires won't be a problem at all. Next time, we might as well challenge the Demon King! "
That's why I dragged you guys so far away.
Looking at the excited Hui Hui, Fangzheng silently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was sure that once Hui Hui knew that the Demon King Shabra Nicholas had been resurrected, she would definitely rush in and join in the fun.
Fangzheng did not dare to give her the chance.
"Next, we can accept the Obsidian level mission, right, Fangzheng?"
Hui Hui, who was jumping around the Priestess and Aiz, was obviously not satisfied. After circling around the Priestess and Aiz, she ran to Fangzheng and asked.
"More or less … .It depends on your cooperation."
Fangzheng had to admit that Hui Hui's explosive magic was indeed a great weapon, but it could only be used once a day … .If no one was watching over it, it would definitely not work.
But if it was used well, it was indeed quite useful.
"Haha, then next, let's find some more challenging missions! I don't want to go to the sewers! If you want to fight, go fight monsters like the Lich or the Headless Horseman! "
I won't let you go to the sewers even if you want to.
Hearing this, Fangzheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
In the Deepest Labyrinth, how many times have you buried us alive? Don't you have any idea?
"Aiz, next time we … .Ahhh!"
However, at that moment, Hui Hui, who was walking backwards in front of the three, did not seem to notice the situation under her feet. She tripped and fell heavily on her butt.
"Hui Hui, are you alright?"
Seeing this, the Priestess hurried over, while Hui Hui shook her head.
"I'm fine … .What's this?"
"A cloth bag?"
Looking at the white cloth bag at Hui Hui's feet, the Priestess was a little puzzled. She walked forward and opened the cloth bag to see what was inside. But after opening the cloth bag,
"Sir Knight! Come quickly! "
"Hmm?"
Hearing the Priestess' slightly panicked voice, Fangzheng and Aiz looked at each other and walked forward. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he finally understood why the Priestess was so panicked.
What tripped Hui Hui was not some garbage or a rock, but a woman in a cloth bag. She looked a little older than Hui Hui and the Priestess, and she was not wearing any clothes. Not only that, but it could also be clearly seen that the woman's cheeks and body were full of bruises. Not only was her face swollen, but even her lips were torn. It looked as if she had been beaten countless times.
"This is too much! Who did this? Please wait a moment, I'll save you immediately! "
As a cleric, of course the Priestess would not turn a blind eye to this. She hurriedly knelt beside the woman and stretched out her hand.
"Little Yu!"
Soon, a holy radiance emerged from the Priestess' hand and covered the woman's body. The woman trembled slightly and slowly opened her eyes. But even so, her breathing was still abnormally weak, as if she was about to die.
"Hey!!"
At that moment, a door not far away suddenly opened, and a burly man walked out. When he saw this scene, he could not help but frown.
"Who told you to be a busybody? Get lost!"
"But, but she's about to die."
"This has nothing to do with you! Little girls, you … "
As the man spoke, he extended his hand toward the priestess. But at this moment, Ai Si's figure suddenly flashed and appeared beside the man. Then, she stabbed the man's stomach with the sword in her scabbard. The next moment, accompanied by a strange scream and a muffled groan, the man instantly knelt on the ground. Before he could stand up again, the cold blade of the sword was already on his neck.
"This has nothing to do with us."
At that moment, Fangzheng walked over with his hands behind his back. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he looked at the man in front of him with a smile.
"So, in other words, it has something to do with you?"
"No, this, no … I, I don't know either …"
"Really?"
As he said that, Fangzheng gave Aiz a look. Aiz immediately turned her right hand over, and the sharp blade on her neck shook slightly, leaving a line of blood on the man's neck.
"Huh —!!"
Sensing that his life was really at stake, the man instantly became terrified.
"This, this, I …"
"Tell me, what's her relationship with you?"
"She, she is …"
Looking at the woman on the ground, the man hesitated for a moment before he spoke.
"She's an employee of our shop …"
"An employee …?"
Fangzheng glanced at the woman covered in cuts and bruises.
"I won't ask why she became like this. In short, we'll take this woman away. You don't have any objections, right?"
"Wait, wait, you can't do that!"
Hearing this, the man suddenly shouted.
"She's legally our property. If you take her away, it's equivalent to kidnapping!"
"Oh."
Fangzheng only replied with a faint "Oh".
"In other words, you're her master?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"That means …"
As he said that, Fangzheng stretched out his hand, summoned a pitch-black greatsword, and swung it.
"As long as I kill you, she'll have no master, right?"
"Hiss …"
Seeing this, the man gasped.
"But I still respect individual wishes."
As he said that, Fangzheng walked to the woman, squatted down, and looked at her. At this moment, the woman's eyes were blank and lifeless, as if she was not far from death.
"Then, it's up to you to choose. Will you leave with us, or will you stay here?"
"Sir Knight?"
Hearing this, the priestess suddenly screamed, while Fangzheng waved his hand, signaling her not to speak.
"Come on, I've given you a choice. Now it's time for you to make your choice."
"…"
Facing Fangzheng's question, the woman stared blankly at him. After a moment, as if she had used up all her strength, she opened her mouth.
"Save … Save … me …"
"Very well, it seems that you've made your choice."
Hearing the woman's answer, Fangzheng nodded, stood up again, and looked at the man next to him.
"You heard it too. We're taking this woman away."
As he said that, Fangzheng reached out to carry the woman, turned around, and was about to leave. But at that moment, the man hurriedly stopped them.
"Wait, wait!"
"Is there anything else?"
"Really, I beg you, don't do this! If you take her away, it'll be very troublesome! "
"Troublesome?"
"Yes, you should know … Eight Fingers."
Having said that, the man lowered his voice.
"The one who secretly rules this country … So, if you do this … it'll be very troublesome! Please, can't you just pretend that you didn't see anything? You're adventurers, right? If you provoke Eight Fingers, then you won't have a place to stay in this country! "
"So?"
However, to the man's surprise, Fangzheng did not have any reaction to the name Eight Fingers. In fact, to Fangzheng, Eight Fingers, Nine Fingers, or Ten Fingers did not matter at all. Let alone the thing that secretly ruled this country, even the thing that really ruled this country was as insignificant as an ant in Fangzheng's eyes.
"Let's go back first."
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned around and left with the woman, leaving the man sitting on the spot in a daze. He stared at their backs, completely speechless.
After returning to the hotel, the girls immediately brought the woman to their room. Looking at the woman in front of her, even the chuunibyou Hui Hui could not help but be moved.
"That's … too much!"
"It's not just a matter of being beaten up …"
After a careful examination of the woman, the priestess's face turned green.
"She also suffers from a variety of diseases, and … she's even been poisoned for a long time … Who the hell did this? Why did they do this …"
"Can she be cured?"
"I'm sorry, Sir Knight."
Facing Fangzheng's question, the priestess lowered her head dejectedly.
"My ability is really limited …"
As she said that, the priestess clenched her fists tightly. At first, she simply thought that the woman was only beaten up and injured, but after a careful examination … the priestess had no idea what to do.
"Then leave it to me."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers as he said that.
Soon, a beam of holy light descended from the sky and quickly covered the woman's body. The wounds on the woman's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her pale cheeks gradually regained some color.
"That's amazing, Sir Knight …"
Seeing this scene, the priestess couldn't help but exclaim. Ayse also widened her eyes in surprise and stared at the woman curiously.
"Alright, her body should have recovered to the state before she became like this … Let her have a good sleep. You accompany her."
"Yes, Sir Knight."
"Ayse."
After giving the priestess his orders, Fangzheng turned to Ayse who was on the other side.
"You're in charge of the night watch today. Pay attention to the surroundings. That Seven Fingers thing might send someone to monitor us. Clean them all up."
"Okay."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Ayse, who was adjusting her weapon, nodded and replied softly.
"What about you, Sir Knight?"
"I'm going out for a while."
As he said that, Fangzheng reached out and grabbed Hui Hui's collar.
"Hui Hui, you haven't used any explosive magic today, have you? Come with me, I'll let you explode to your heart's content!"
