17. Chapter 17: It’s still got to be the cellar

Chapter 17 It’s Still the Cellar

In the evening, when he left the Viscount’s house, Heine was much more relaxed.

And not just because he had taken a step upward in his life.

It was also because he, a butterfly desperately flapping his wings, had finally made some changes in the plot.

Tomorrow he’ll return to the haunted farm to assist Arthur in his investigation of where the tree herder and the elf appeared.

Under his guidance, George finally sets his sights on the mysterious “fog of war”.

Then comes the Whispering Woods and the Eagle’s Nest.

Once these three storage wells are demolished, everything will be fine.

And at this point, the two skeletons’ surprise at him had risen to the level of skepticism.

“I used to just think that he was enlightened, I didn’t think that he would be demonic to this extent …… Brother Goat, do you think he should not really be able to hear the dramas of the two of us?”

“This kind of thing can’t be thought about in detail, think about it in detail ah brother, so my advice simply don’t think about it, don’t scare yourself. But if you insist, his deductions are all from known intelligence, the key he is only the right direction, more are still the Viscount’s own realization.”

“Also, Heine still knows too little.”

“This is not to blame for him, who would have thought that behind such a projectile place is actually the game of the four power camps …… you open service anyone thought so much?”

“Don’t mention it, the plot party that just opened the service doesn’t know much more than Heine, still looking forward to the future of the Makara mountainous area, and ended up being numbed by the railgun dry.”

“Heartache for the plot party.”

Heine listened to the hundred claws scratching his heart ……

What do you mean by the game of the four power camps, you should say it!

His longing was not destined to be filled, and the two quickly went to pull something else.

This time being self-exploded paste face gave them a lot of inspiration, the resistance of the white bone body, the form of their own existence, and whether they would die if they were really destroyed Soul Fire type of thing.

Eventually it came down to a vocalized denunciation of sheep catching.

Mr. Xia: “Do you think if you had an exorcism or purification ruling, it wouldn’t be such a big deal?”

“Ah yes, yes, yes, Lai I haven’t transferred to Paladin …… ah hell! I’m a fucking skeleton ah!”

“Speaking of which, did …… Heine sneakily pick up a corpse and bring it back?”

Catch the Goat: “Yes, it’s still in bulk.”

“Meaning more than one brother soon?”

“What do you mean, it can’t be sisters?”

“So true.”

……

Driving home, Heine was surprised to find a light on in the house!
He had been medicating Chiara for the past two days, and she was gradually getting better, but showed no signs of waking up.

Before leaving in the morning he had left a letter by the bedside briefly describing the situation, and it looked like it had really come in handy.

The man inside the house heard the carriage moving and pushed open the door.

Ciara, her hair simply tucked behind her back, appeared in the doorway.

It had only been four days, but things had changed.

Heine jumped out of the car.

“Ms. Schiala, it seems that my letter-“

His words were interrupted by a hug, accompanied by trembling and sobs.

He opened his hand in dismay and whirled around to pat her back gently.

“The nightmare is over.”

He soothed.

For him, four days had passed since the night of the Burial Ground’s destruction, and he had been through a lot.

But for Shiala, it had all happened just a short time ago.

The embrace didn’t last long, and Shiala soon released him.

Though her eyes were red, her eyes had sharpened.

“I need to see your skeleton, it’s important, I need to make sure you’re not being tricked by a poltergeist.”

Look at that professionalism! He’d merely mentioned it in the letter.

That’s what Shiala did at the academy, prevent cadets from being compelled by shady spirits.

A poltergeist isn’t a sinister wandering spirit, it’s an “undead spirit” that’s been smuggled into the underworld.

It’s a tricky way to immortality, more like a bug.
You give up your body and go to the underworld, then summon yourself back as a wandering spirit and attach yourself to a prepared body.

–That’s how the Witch Demon came to be.

In a way, shades are the natural enemy of necromancers.

Once a mage loosens his bonds a little, he risks being backstabbed by a shady spirit.

And unlike wandering souls, because they themselves didn’t die, even if the summoner died, the nether spirit wouldn’t be yanked back to the underworld, but instead would be free and live forever.

As for Heine’s skeletons, although Principal Gare said that they were Essence Souls, or Elite Traveling Souls, and that there was no possibility of betrayal of the Lordslayer, ……

This is, after all, a traveler.

In the face of Xiara’s request, Heine nodded his head in agreement although he was helpless.

He opened the package and showed it to Xiara.

She was puzzled, “How did it become like this?”

“I went through something this afternoon ……” “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Ciara picked up Mr. Xia’s head and examined it carefully, “The silver soul fire is indeed the first time I’ve seen it, but I don’t think it’s an essence, because essence souls are still essentially wandering souls, but I don’t sense the characteristics of an undead soul from them.”

With that she put her hand inside the cranial cavity and touched the throbbing soulfire.

Someone immediately panicked, “Holy shit, she’s not going to study me, is she?”

“Hahaha this is revenge, who made you stare at people interrupting all the time before!”

“I fucking did that for the team!”

Heine briefly talked about the recent events and put in a good word for the two.

“They’ve helped me a lot these days, I suspect they’re wandering spirits who died in battle in the mountains of Makara, especially this one in your hand, who may have been an elf in life.”

“Elves?”

“Yes. His battle sense is intact, and his movements leave even proper elven wanderers in awe.”

Ciara nodded and lowered her skull.

“Indeed it is not a shadowy spirit, there is no negative energy, peaceful unlike the dead …… I’m beginning to recognize what you are saying, I just know so little about psionics so ……”

“Oh, and this.”

Heine opened the other package, which contained a pile of clean bones that had been processed.

He opened the pupil of the dead and could still see the silver light spots on it, but there was no response after using the summon a few times.

“Huh? How is it different from last time?”

Heine frowned and suddenly, as if remembering something, grabbed the package and dragged her towards the cellar.

“The problem might be in the cellar!”

The two left quickly, the two piles of skeletons left behind expressing shock.

“Holy shit, he changed his mind! He’s taking women to see without us!”

“Meh, man!”

Heine quickly ran back, muttering to herself “I can’t believe I forgot about these two” and took the two with her again.

……

In the cellar.

Heine didn’t exactly turn back when he heard the spitting.

For one thing, they were needed to communicate with the new undead.

For two, it was to fix the two while they had the chance.

As a priest of the Lady Undead Whisperer, Shiala could use Shadow Healing, which was surprisingly effective at repairing undead.

Anyway, this one that was broken by Arthur had to be repaired before being summoned again, so it was better to fix it together.

In the swaying firelight, three piles of white bones were arranged into three human shapes by Heine, who was familiar with the structure of the human body.

He now this basic skills back to earth, high and low can be an orthopedic surgeon.

As Xiara cast the spell, the pitch-black light engulfed the three people like a flowing ink stain.

When the black light faded, all three were refreshed.

Shiala’s face was as normal, no consumption could be seen, which made Heine couldn’t help but guess how many levels she was.

Teacher Xia exclaimed, “This Shadow Healing is at least level three, right?”

“Indeed, it’s really condescending for her to turn into a banshee, the Shadow Sanctuary really doesn’t raise idle hands.”

“But didn’t you say that the Shadow Sanctuary and the Underworld don’t deal with each other?”

“Someone has to do something right, right, like that principal, and again, like her.”

“Ugh. ……”

Hearing the two say that, Heine couldn’t help but look twice more.

“Haven’t you seen enough before?”

Ciara asked him with a smile as she brushed her hair.

“Sure.”

Heine grinned, then commanded the two skeletons to stand behind them to make room for the new guests.

This time, under the pupils of the dead, he saw familiar silver threads.

Thanks to his last upgrade and continuous experience gained, his observation was more detailed.

He realized that it was a silver filament that connected the light spots on the corpse and eventually rooted into the ground.

“The focus is really the cellar ……”

He wanted to excavate the place, but he was afraid of digging it up, so he just didn’t think about it and recited the summoning spell.

“Dead things still viable when they see life, wandering souls cross the border to get close to me!”

All four waited expectantly for three seconds ……

The silver-colored soul fire lit up, and the skeleton suddenly stood up.

“Where am I?”

He asked in his mind.
