56. Chapter 56 – No Accent
Chapter 56 – No Accent
After a “simple” communication, the crowd figured out what was going on.
While the group was heading to the cellar to observe the Yuan Spirit spell formation, the control hub of the Floating City appeared abnormal for a moment.
After the investigation was completed, Meno reluctantly moved the Floating City a dozen meters to the side under Chiara’s death stare.
He had initially done so to give Dylan Gitil, his junior, some deterrence, not realizing that it had played out badly.
Now that he was at a disadvantage, he even gave Dylan an apology with a dark face.
Of course, paying for all the damages and being responsible for the repairs was a must.
But how could the high-minded Dylan Gittler let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“The repairs will be waived, I can’t trust the skill of the Nice people.”
Meno was furious at that moment, pointing at Dylan and cursing “according to seniority you have to call me grandfather”.
The two men were now pulled apart by each, facing each other from a distance.
“Both of their last names are Gittil?” Heine asked.
“Yes. Gitille is a large family within the Shadow Temple, and has always been in charge of soulology and the study of magical patterns and spell formations.”
Xiara sighed and explained.
She was also busy.
It dawned on Heine that no wonder Dylan was able to drum up the parsing spells, so it was a family tradition.
Xiara: “…… Later, Barry Gitil believed that it was the Lady of the Dead Whisperer who had imprisoned the freedom of the dead souls and proceeded to follow Thanatos of the Underworld.
“Barry, while not the earliest necromancer, was among the earliest of the group, called the Barge at the time, and he settled here as a psychic.”
At that, she was suddenly curious, “You’re not surprised by all this?”
Heine shrugged, “Being a country bumpkin knowing all this is quite apologetic then.”
“You really are as confusing as ever.”
Chiara laughed and shook her head, “For example, those foods you drummed up, buns, ravioli ……”
Heine’s heart stuttered and her face instantly became unnatural.
Xiara was sensitive to this scene.
“What’s wrong?”
Heine glanced at the positional distribution – the three brothers were gathered around the Guardian Iris, mortared there looking at the floating city.
Tooth and Shadow stood seven or eight meters away, like the tail of the two.
It’s okay, it’s okay ……
“It’s nothing, just had a palpitation earlier.”
He gave a forced smile.
Ciara, mistaking Heine still hadn’t gotten over that night’s Holy Light Trial, offered to take his hand.
Warm strength passed along the soft touch.
Heine asked, “By the way, what did you get just now?”
He activated the Yuanling spell formation once in front of Xiara, and only chatted with Wei Diankui for a moment or two before he was caught and carried by the goat and ran out of the house.
Only after coming out did he realize that it was a corner of the house that had collapsed, luckily there were no casualties.
Hearing him ask this, Xiara had an odd expression.
She came to Heine’s ear and whispered:
“I suspect that it was the moment you activated the spell that caused this.”
“Hmm?”
Heine’s heart panicked.
He wanted to ask something more, but he saw the other party looking at him with a smile on her brow, her slender fingers up to her mouth in a silencing gesture.
At this time the sound of coughing came from behind the two.
It was Meno Gitler.
The middle-aged man held his head high, “Lord Servant, I have a few words I would like to say to him, I hope you can excuse yourself, otherwise this will be embarrassing for us all.”
Ciara looked at Heine, with a look that seemed to ask, “Can you cope with this?”
Heine: “No problem.”
Chiara nods and lets go.
“I hope you’ll adhere to Nyssian etiquette, Mr. Meno.”
She reminded as she passed, her voice quiet, but with an undeniable power.
“I will, my lord.”
Meno’s expressionless face was so similar to Dylan’s.
Only two people were left here in an instant, and he raised his hand, his ring glowing slightly, a birdcage-like transparent boundary was created out of thin air, wrapping around the two.
Just in this instant, an arrow and an anvil flew over one after another.
With a duk, the arrow stuck on the materialized boundary.
The anvil then pounded from behind like a hammer, and the arrow pierced in violently!
Wow!
The boundary shattered.
At that moment a dagger emanating the power of blight clung to his neck, and his skin was pricked raw.
Meno’s body trembled and he twisted his head as if he had seen a ghost.
In the field of vision was a skeleton wearing a red mask.
Because it was so close, he could even make out the dark purple soul flames swaying in the other party’s eyes ……
“Let go of Lord Meno!”
It was only then that Tooth and Shadow stepped into the fray as an afterthought.
It wasn’t that they were slow to react, but the gang did it too quickly!
Two pitch-black short swords also appeared in the former’s hands – even though he was wearing armor.
Shadow, on the other hand, gripped a man-high staff in both hands.
Heine was busy saying, ”Relax, relax …… Xia, put the dagger down, don’t scare your friend.
“By the way, Master Meno, you guys don’t understand necromancers, this is just a normal stress reaction of the summon, I have no malicious intent.”
Mr. Xia: “Holy shit, he called me Xia, my dad never even called me that.”
Mr. Sa: “Just be content, he hasn’t called me that! Brother Goat, please pick up my arrows as well.”
Catching Goat is silently walking over to pick up the shield.
“You’d better wait for his order.”
Heine reminded at the right time, “Catch Sheep, pick up that arrow too.”
Sa General: “See, my big brother has me in mind!”
Catching Sheep: “You’re almost done ……”
…
This little episode came and went quickly, but the nature of things slightly changed. Tooth and Shadow’s eyes became heavy as they looked at the three skeletons.
Meno’s eyes changed as he looked toward Heine.
Stress reaction of undead creatures?
Whose undead creatures can cooperate tacitly like this ……
From the moment the shield was broken to the moment the skeleton that was clearly a wanderer bullied his way in, it was clearly by design.
This guy …… is really insidious.
In addition what made him concerned was that the boundary he had laid with his third level magic ring was as fragile as paper mache?
Could it be that every one of this guy’s skeletons also had this strength?
“Mr. Meno, what are you trying to say?” Heine asked.
“It’s this.”
Meno switched to a slightly milder set of words.
“Though successive Servants have been spared a secret lover, I would like ……”
“Does your code explicitly require a Servant to dedicate everything to the Lady of the Dead Whisperer?”
“No, no, no, no, the Lady Dead Whisperer does not demand everything from her followers, we are merely converts of the heart ……”
“So you are suspecting that Lady Shyara’s faith is not strong enough?”
Meno started sweating, “I didn’t mean that ……”
Heine: “Since her faith is strong and you’re still afraid that she’s indulging in male love, is it because I’m more attractive than the Lady of the Dead Whisperer? Are you sure that statement isn’t blasphemy?”
“No, no, no. ……”
Meno wiped the cold sweat from his polished forehead and stiffly changed the subject.
“We’re here to solve the problem of the excessive concentration of holy light in the mountains of McCalla, which is the duty of the Shadow Sanctuary ……”
The way he spoke about his duty was professional.
After a while Heine also understood that they were stuck with a bug on this trip .
It was true that the Convention of the Four Nations stipulated a series of prohibited access items, but each nation had its own obligations to this world.
For example, Eternal Dawn had to deal with the excess of dead energy and the evil and forbidden sacrificial rituals everywhere.
The Shadow Temple, on the other hand, deals with the flood of holy light and overpowered wandering souls.
These obligations are in line with the priorities of the Four Powers Pact.
When the two conflict, it is only up to the House of Veritas to mediate.
Generally speaking the Law Lords don’t bother.
Unless they get into a fight, then ……
Court is held!
There is a fee for court sessions, so very few people make a scene.
Eternal Dawn was able to build three Holy Light storage wells utilizing a similar bug .
As for the railgun washout in the original episode, it was a calculated attempt to set the table.
At that point, the House of Veritas stopped going through the process and just started the trial.
In short, the Floating City was opened in the name of “fixing bugs”.
Although there is no clear evidence that there are other energy storage wells ……
But the Shadow Temple’s sense of responsibility played a decisive role in this moment.
They thought there were, and they had to check.
And as the lowest grade of “30 person” floating city, this strategic item must be bound to a person no less than the specifications of the regional bishop ……
So here comes Chiara.
It’s all buggy at first glance, but when you look into it, it’s all in line with the rules.
This is the world of civilization and order.
…
Heine: “So after all that, you’re trying to say ……”
“The Sanctuary wants the local necromancer to see this.”
Meno’s chin gradually lifted, slowly regaining that haughty look.
“We have encountered some minor communication problems in dealing with the wandering powerful undead, and it would be excellent if you all could return to the embrace of the Sanctuary at this juncture.”
After a pause, he continued, “It would also be a good feat for Lord Servant. To be honest, telling Your Excellency this ‘forbidden’ information has already violated certain conventions, so I hope that you can think more about her.”
“That’s so… ……”
Heine was lost in thought.
He recalled what the other party had said when he communicated with Guardian Iris ……
…
On the other side, Mr. Xia stared at the floating city and lamented:
“The last time I was chased by this little cute (stupid) love (beep) was when I was wanted by Godello City.”
Mr. Sa: “What could you be wanted for in that hellhole? Did you paint a trophy on the statue of Lady Deathspeaker?”
Catch the Goat: “He stole a pair of armor, said he was going to be a plate armor thief, play T, and told me to cut the milk. Here, it’s similar in appearance to what that male soul hunter over there is wearing.”
Chief Sa: “How did stealing a pair of armor get you chased by a floating city?”
Mr. Xia: “Hey, I stole it from the tomb of the city lord’s father.”
Mr. Sa: “……”
At this time, Wei Temple Iris suddenly opened her mouth.
“Can you guys help me get up there?”
Mr. Sa: “Crap?”
Mr. Summer: “Crap?”
Both of them are shocked, so this dude can initiate conversation!
Catch the Goat: “Where are you going? Floating City?”
“Uh-huh.”
Catch the Goat: “You’ll have to talk to Heine about that.”
Guardian Iris: “I just did, and he asked me ‘what are you talking about’.”
Catch the sheep: “Hoping that these days I and the abdominal black sister said what you are not listening to a word ah ……”
Wei Temple Iris: “I listened, also sister useful ah.”
Mr. Sa suddenly said, “Listen to the accent Wei is a northeasterner?”
Wei Temple Kite: “…… How did you hear it? I line Si I also sister have an accent na.”
The three were silent.
At this time Heine came over, he looked very happy.
“Let’s go, Mr. Meno promised to show us inside the Floating City!”
