"Stop!" A hoarse voice suddenly shouted from the side.
Damn, I was actually so distracted that I didn't even notice that someone was approaching me. What a failure, what a failure.
Anveena and I stopped in our tracks and looked in the direction of the voice. Then, we exclaimed in our hearts at the same time, "So ugly!"
What appeared in front of us was a tall skeleton wearing tattered chain mail. Behind him was a small zombie with a dull expression and abscesses all over his body. From a physical and biological perspective, I thought it was the zombie that had just spoken.
Although I thought that my nerves were well-tempered, to the point where I wouldn't be affected even if Mt. Tai collapsed in front of me, but this was the first time I saw a skeleton and a zombie standing in front of me … To be honest, I felt quite nervous …
Actually, from the moment I learned of the existence of undead until now, the only undead I had seen was this lass, Anveena. It was obvious that Anveena was quite beautiful, which directly led to my irrational optimism towards the appearance of undead creatures. In the end, I almost vomited when I saw two of the most common undead creatures …
However, this was the territory of the undead after all. In the entire Tirisfal region, the only thing that moved was these high-calcium tablets and streaky pork. After walking for so long in this stinky place, it was already quite difficult to see someone that moved. It was better not to force the other party to be a beauty …
While Anveena and I were observing each other, the other party was also observing us.
Zaken was the name of this skeleton soldier. As an undead soldier who had broken free from the Lich King's mental control, he was now working for the Dark Queen Sylvanas. Since he was an experienced scout when he was alive, he was given the task of patrolling the perimeter of Gloom City. Although the Lich King's power had been weakened, there were still small groups of undead creatures that were under the influence of the Lich King's remnant mind to threaten the Forsaken who had just regained their freedom. Other than these scattered Scourge soldiers, there were also mutated creatures that had been tortured by the plague to the point of insanity, wild undead beasts, and the Scarlet Crusade who had a blind hatred for undead creatures. (Due to the severity of the storyline, the Scarlet Crusade's power was also much stronger than in the "storyline". They had even extended their tentacles to the perimeter of Gloom City. The conflicts between the Forsaken and the Scarlet Crusade were far more frequent than I had expected. Of course, I was still unaware of this.) In order to eliminate these troublemakers, there was a large number of undead soldiers patrolling the perimeter of Gloom City at all times. Zaken was one of these scouts. Just a moment ago, he had discovered and eliminated a few skeleton soldiers that were obviously still under the influence of the Lich King's remnant mind and were blindly attacking all moving targets. And now, he had met with such a strange combination.
The young girl who was dressed in a maid's attire that emitted a faint glow was obviously an undead creature. As a special race that was extremely sensitive to all kinds of auras, he wouldn't mistake the unique aura of his own race. However, there seemed to be something else mixed in this aura, which gave Zaken an uneasy feeling. However, upon careful observation, the eyes of this specter young girl weren't as crazy as the usual mindless specters, nor were they as lifeless as the undead controlled by the Lich King. Thus, Zaken temporarily excluded this young girl from the range of enemies.
But the man in front of this young girl …
The man was wearing a rather strange mask. The mask looked a little like the bones of an animal, and Zaken didn't know if it was a magic tool that was necessary for witchcraft. (If Zaken knew that this thing was only worn because the other party was afraid of the stench, what kind of expression would he have … Well, if that high-calcium face of his could still make any expression …) But Zaken didn't feel any magical power from the man in front of him. Instead, there was a continuous aura of a living person …
A living person!
A red light flashed across Zaken's empty eye sockets. No wonder he felt that the masked man had a very familiar aura that was incompatible with the surrounding environment. He didn't expect that it was the aura of a living person. However, this aura wasn't quite right. It seemed to be different from the living people he had seen before, so much so that he didn't think of it at first.
This combination was a little strange. An undead creature actually traveling together with a living person. This was a little unbelievable. Moreover, they were traveling in a place like Tirisfal that had completely turned into a kingdom of the undead. Could it be that this man was actually a Necromancer? And the specter girl beside him was his undead slave?
That wasn't quite possible. He didn't feel any magical aura from the other party at all. Furthermore, the eyes of the spirit girl didn't have that bewildered look of being controlled. Furthermore, he was originally an undead, so he was extremely sensitive to the undulations of undead magic. If the other party was an Necromancer, he would have definitely sensed it immediately!
Let's not talk about what this super analytical skeleton soldier was thinking about. My side was starting to feel a little overwhelmed …
No matter what, being stared at by a rattling skeleton without blinking, I reckon that anyone would feel their liver tremble. What's more, there was a zombie audience with pustules all over its body standing next to this mobile high-calcium tablet. This atmosphere, coupled with the bleak atmosphere of the Tirisfal Woodlands … was a bit like the Ring of Death …
"Cough cough." I forced out a smile that was slightly nicer than crying and greeted the two undead friends in front of me. "Have you eaten?"
In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere became a little subtle. In my inner world, thunder rumbled and thunder rumbled … Why didn't I realize that I was actually so creative in the past?
"Master … So lame …" Anveena cursed concisely in her heart.
"Strange human …" This was the only thought that came to Zaken's mind after being struck by the thunder.
However, even though this strange man didn't seem to be the same as those humans who blindly viewed all undead creatures with hatred and he had a spirit companion, Zaken didn't let his guard down. In this world that was incomparably harsh to the Forsaken, he really didn't have much trust in a stranger.
Zaken pointed the rusty longsword in his hand at the other party. With a thought, the little zombie beside him immediately spoke in a hoarse voice, "Human, tell me your name and why are you in the territory of the Forsaken — Don't even think about stalling for time, I don't have much patience left for a living person!"
It seems that I have discovered an interesting situation.
After the zombie spoke, I noticed that the skeleton soldier in front of me didn't seem to be able to speak due to its lack of vocal cords. Every time he had something to say, a mental fluctuation would be transmitted from his body to the silly little zombie beside him. Then, the zombie would say what he wanted to say — From the looks of it, the zombie beside him didn't seem to possess an independent consciousness. Instead, it was a clone that the skeleton soldier had used his mind to control, just like a detached vocal cord (…). This was the first time I saw such a strange combination and I couldn't help but feel curious. I even temporarily forgot about the other party's super impactful appearance.
It seems that the laws of each world are indeed different. In the World of Azeroth, an undead without vocal cords wouldn't possess the ability to speak. However, I heard from Sandora that in some worlds, "living beings" like skeleton soldiers don't have such restrictions. Facing such a completely opposite world law, I could only sigh: Creation is indeed magical!
"Human, answer my question immediately!" Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Zaken immediately pushed the longsword in his hand forward a little more. The little zombie beside him also followed up with a stern voice.
"Oh, sorry, I got distracted." I smiled sheepishly. At the same time, I dragged Anveena, who was about to make a move after seeing the other party's extreme actions, behind me. This action immediately caused the other party to be stunned.
"It's like this, I want to look for Cirvanas. Can I trouble you to lead the way?"
I asked after revealing what I thought to be a rather friendly smile.
