Chapter 452 Cemetery
"Master Xia Yu, what's wrong?"
Deep underground, Narberal, who was originally demonstrating magic, saw Xia Yu suddenly turn his head to speak, and turned back with some confusion and asked.
"Nothing, just trying to scare a cautious skeleton."
Xia Yu removed the shadow effects on his face, feeling somewhat gloating. Now someone will not be able to sleep at night.
Even though he couldn't see Ainz's expression at the moment, he could imagine that he was probably stamping his feet in anger.
"Hey, who told you to spy on me? You deserve it."
Xia Yu, who was in a good mood because he had scared people, waved at Narberal, signaling her to continue demonstrating the level magic.
Because there was no limiting bottleneck, he could learn the general idea of these magic levels almost immediately after Narberal demonstrated them once.
In just a short while, he had already learned all of Narberal's magic from level one to three. Although they were not very powerful, there were many useful magics among them.
"Okay, let's continue learning... eh?"
Just as Xia Yu was about to continue learning magic with Narberal, he suddenly stopped talking and frowned.
The protection he had specially left for Enfirea was triggered, which meant that the other party was injured at the moment, and it was an injury that was very likely to be life-threatening.
"Tsk, I almost forgot that the reason why Nfirea was kidnapped by Old Bones was because he was first captured by Funny Sister."
In the original work, the magic chanter Khajiit and the funny sister Clementine want to capture E-Rantel by summoning a large number of undead magic "Dead Army".
However, "Undead Legion" is a seventh-level magic that is difficult for ordinary people to use, so they can only find another way.
It just so happened that Clementine had the item, the Wise Man's Crown, in her hand. As long as one wore this crown, one could use magic of a level beyond one's own power.
However, the Crown of the Wise has certain usage requirements, and it is difficult to find someone who is suitable among millions of people.
It was at this time that they found out about Nfirea and his special abilities.
Nfirea can use magic items regardless of all conditions, which is just right for the Crown of the Wise, which has usage restrictions. In addition, Nfirea's power is not strong, so it is easy to control him.
Therefore, in the original work, Clementine captured Nfirea and killed the "Black Sword" team who accepted the commission.
Now, with Xia Yu's intervention, the "Dark Sword" group doesn't have to go to their deaths, but Nfirea is still found by Clementine just like in the original book.
"Forget it, let's go and take a look."
Although with the power of holy light he left behind, Nfirea would definitely not be abducted so easily again, but in order to avoid any accidents, Xia Yu decided to go and take a look.
However, before leaving, Xia Yu separated an incarnation and stayed behind. It was impossible for him to slack off. Learning makes people fulfilled.
…
"Oh my~ little brother, your strength is really amazing."
At the entrance of the drugstore, a cute but inexplicably unsettling blonde woman was looking at Nfirea, who was on high alert, and spoke.
At first glance, the blonde woman didn't look very old, only a few years older than Nfirea. She had regular and lovely facial features and a head of untidy short golden hair.
However, those cute facial features now revealed a twisted and ferocious smile, giving people the feeling that it was a hungry carnivore , drooling as it eyed its prey.
"Who are you and why are you attacking me!"
Looking at the blonde woman in front of him, Nfirea's body was shaking a little. If it weren't for the protective shield that suddenly exploded on his body just now, he would have been knocked unconscious at this moment.
"Hmm? Hehe... I came here to kidnap you because I want to ask someone to use the magic "Undead Army" that summons a large number of undead, so can you be my tool? Sister, please~"
Although she spoke in a gentle tone, the meaning behind her words was clearly unfriendly. Feeling the malice emanating from the blonde woman, Nfirea took a defensive stance.
But looking at Nfirea who was like a frightened rabbit, the blonde woman still said in a frivolous tone: "That is seventh-tier magic that is difficult for ordinary people to use, but it can be done with the Wise Man's Crown. Although it is impossible to control all the summoned undead, it can guide them! What a perfect plan! It's flawless!"
Hearing this, even though Nfirea didn't understand what the so-called plan was, he could clearly sense the other party's ill intentions.
Looking at the blonde woman who seemed to be still immersed in her own world, Nfirea silently stepped back, wanting to escape quietly.
But he had just taken a step when the sound of wind suddenly came.
clang!!
It was a weapon similar to a short spike, but the cold and shining tip still had a faint smell of blood, which made it obvious at a glance that it was a murder weapon.
“Wow!!”
When he realized what was happening belatedly, Nfirea screamed and fell to the ground. If it weren't for the white protective shield that just appeared, a bloody hole would have appeared on his body.
"Oh, it appears again. I didn't expect that you have this method to protect yourself, little brother. Is it defensive magic? Or is it an automatically activated defensive item?"
The blonde woman raised the short cone, licked the tip of the cone with her tongue, and pulled out a transparent, crystal-thin line.
As the thin line broke, the blonde woman licked her soft lips with her pink tongue, as if she could no longer resist the tempting aroma of the delicious food.
"Really, this really makes me curious, how long can last~ hehe~ hahaha~"
A crazy laugh rang out, the corners of the blonde woman's mouth almost reached her ears, and her red eyes narrowed into slits.
If I were to describe it with an emoticon, it would probably be a funny expression.
Clang clang clang!!
As the woman became more and more crazy, the short spike in her hand attacked the protective shield on Nfirea's body at an almost invisible speed.
But no matter how fast or fierce the attack was, the protective shield remained the same and did not dim at all.
Gradually, Nfirea also realized this, and seeing that the opponent could not hurt him no matter how he attacked, he forced himself to muster up the courage to stand up.
"You can't break this shield, so you'd better give up."
Although the protective shield appeared suddenly, the familiar white light and the faint light on his right hand told him that this was the power of the stigma of the flower on the back of his hand.
Even though the opponent had been attacking for so long, he still didn't feel the power in the stigmata decrease.
This means that with the opponent's current attack power, he cannot break the protective shield at all, so he can be said to be very safe now.
But even though he was safe, he didn't dare leave just like that because his grandmother had gone out to buy herbs and hadn't come back yet.
It seems that this protective shield can only protect him. If the other party wants to threaten him with his grandmother, he can do nothing about it.
So Nfirea could only hope that the other party got tired, and then had to give up and leave.
"Oh? You are very confident ."
Along with the sound of attacking like hammering iron, the smile on the blonde woman's face became more and more ferocious, and the attacks in her hands became faster and faster.
clang!
With a crisp sound, the short spike in the blonde woman's hand suddenly broke, and the two people's eyes followed the broken spike tip falling to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the blonde woman's smile disappeared, but the next moment, she smiled again.
After pulling out a new short axe, she looked at the timid Nfirea and said with a smile: "I remember that you seem to have a grandmother, right?"
"What do you want to do?!"
Hearing the blonde woman say this, Nfirea's heart tightened. The thing he was most worried about happened.
“Oh, hoho~” The blonde woman seemed to notice Nfirea’s nervousness. The corners of her mouth raised high, and a ferocious smile reappeared. “It’s just as you thought. I will threaten you with your grandmother.”
"Let me guess. She should be out buying herbs. She should be back soon. By then, can you still stay in this turtle shell?"
Hearing this, Enfirea immediately wanted to escape from here. The other party couldn't hurt him, so he could take this opportunity to escape.
But before he could take a step, the cruel and gentle voice sounded again: "Oh~ Are you trying to escape? Let me remind you first, I am definitely better at that than finding someone."
After hearing these words, Nfirea felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
But the next moment, a plain voice, but one that sounded like heavenly music to Nfirea's ears, rang out.
"Tsk, there's a saying that appearance reflects the heart, but how come a pervert like you has such a nice face?"
Xia Yu seemed to appear out of thin air and slapped the blonde woman casually.
It was clearly just a casual wave, but in the eyes of the blonde woman, it was like an unavoidable mountain rushing towards her.
The surrounding scenes began to fade, and the world seemed to fall into absolute darkness. Faintly, the blonde woman seemed to see a blood-red word "death".
"puff!!!"
Under the unstoppable force, the blonde woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her body spun several times in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground and bounced twice.
Xia Yu retracted his gesture as if waving away a fly, and then looked at Nfirea in front of him with anger.
"What's wrong with you? I didn't give you the power just to let you passively take a beating. Do you know how to use it?"
"that……"
Nfirea was stunned by the sudden rebuke. He seemed to catch a glimpse of something and said hurriedly, "Mr. Xia Yu, that..."
"Um, what? I told you that you can develop this power yourself, so your development is just to passively take a beating?"
"Good boy, you actually want to develop this sacred power into a turtle shell? You are really something."
Being scolded like this, even though Nfirea wanted to say something, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame.
When he gained this power, he knew how powerful it was. The reason why he hadn't started to develop it was because the time was too short and he wanted to adapt to it first before actively guiding it.
Who could have thought that before he had time to adapt, he was suddenly targeted by someone, causing him to have no choice but to passively take the beating.
"I……"
"What do you mean by 'I'? You will definitely be punished for your laziness!"
After saying that, before Nfirea could react, Xia Yu suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and the golden hair fell with a snap.
Nfirea suddenly found that his vision was much clearer. His hair, which covered half of his face, was cut off at the hairline, and now his young but handsome face was exposed.
Because her hairstyle had always covered half of her face, it suddenly revealed her entire face, and Nfirea couldn't help but blushing with shyness.
Xia Yu's mouth twitched when seeing this scene. You're blushing like a bubble teapot!
It's really hard to say anything when a man shows this kind of expression. The scolding words he had just prepared were blocked in an instant.
“Tsk!”
With a sigh, Xia Yu said disdainfully: "If you show this expression again, I will shave your head bald."
As soon as these words came out, Enfirea imagined what he would look like with a bald head, and his face turned pale, and the original shy blush disappeared immediately.
"I...I was wrong! Mr. Xia Yu, I will start developing the power you gave me now!"
"Well, if you can correct your mistakes, you are teachable."
Xia Yu touched his chin and nodded. If there was a wisp of beard on his chin at this moment, it would be more appropriate.
"Okay, just take your time to figure out this power. Don't worry about the guy who escaped. I will take care of her."
"Mr. Xia Yu?!"
Hearing this, Nfirea was startled and looked at Xia Yu in surprise. He had just wanted to talk about this, but was always interrupted by Xia Yu, so he could only watch the blonde woman run away.
However, thinking of Xia Yu's great magical powers, he did not interrupt Xia Yu. As expected, Xia Yu knew that the other party would escape.
"That……"
"Don't be so cautious. Just think about that power. Okay, let's go."
After patting him on the shoulder to show encouragement, Xia Yu turned around and disappeared on the spot.
He did let the other party go on purpose, because there were two of them, and he was just waiting for them to gather together so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop to prevent them from making a comeback.
Although the opponents were extremely weak both to him and Ainz, they were still quite strong for the natives of the other world.
…
About a quarter of the way inside the outer wall of E-Rantel, there is a huge area that occupies almost half of the western area. It is the common cemetery of E-Rantel.
Of course, other towns also have cemeteries, but they are not as large as this one.
This was done to suppress the creation of the undead. In order to prevent the dead from becoming undead, Ye-Rantel, which was very close to the Imperial battlefield, naturally needed a huge cemetery for people to pay tribute to.
As for this part, neighboring countries, even empires, would also conclude agreements during battles and solemnly pay tribute to each other's dead.
Even if humans were to kill each other, they would still agree that the undead that attacked the living were a common enemy.
Not only that, there is another problem with the undead, which is that if left alone, it will easily lead to the emergence of stronger undead.
Therefore, adventurers and guards patrol the cemetery every night to eliminate the weak undead as soon as possible, and usually the Adventurer's Guild will also issue such commissions.
At this moment, the blonde woman, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, was running at the fastest speed in her life.
"Damn it! Asshole! What kind of monster is that?!"
While running away, the blonde woman continued to curse, but her distorted face clearly revealed a look of fear.
Even at this moment, recalling that unstoppable palm, she couldn't help but tremble.
That was beyond her understanding, almost like the gods in her knowledge, so powerful and so unstoppable.
