Time goes back half a month ago...
After ending their vacation in Alanorn with joy, George and his two female family members took a cross-sea ferry to the Negolas Empire. After getting off the dock, they boarded the long-lost intercity caravan and the group finally arrived in the City of Wayne. .
This is the first time that Lova has stepped into the Negulas Empire. The magical alchemy-style city, the sky shrouded by the undead canopy, the orderly streets, the crowds of undead, the never-ending traffic... everything. Everything made Lova feel extremely novel and shocked!
seeing is believing.
It has to be said that in the elven nursery rhymes passed down by mouth, the face of the undead villain is too labeled and concrete. Even though the elves have read more documentary documents describing the true appearance of the Negras Empire than the average elves, after witnessing the undead with their own eyes, Before entering the city, Lova still preconceivedly defined the empire shrouded in the canopy of the undead as a disorderly, barbaric, and terrifying area filled with evil spirits.
When I saw it today, everything in front of me was so different from what I had imagined in my mind!
"Dear, look! That undead man with a skeleton hidden under his coat and hat. What's in the handbag in his hand? Is it a bloody corpse? Or is it a newly stolen treasure?"
Lova, who was sitting by the window of the caravan in the city, was like a curious baby, looking around all the time. Whenever she saw something of interest, she would pull George to inquire about it.
"Corpse? Don't be ridiculous, my dear Mrs. Lova. Of course, the handbag contains scrolls, parchment or manuscripts. This is common sense. I guess that skeleton should be an employee of a certain chamber of commerce. ."
"Hey, my servant, how do you know that the undead is an employee of the Chamber of Commerce and not some other job? I am also very interested in your reasoning process!"
Now, Miss Sirna sitting on the other side also joined the group chat.
Tsk…
two women,
How many ducks are there?
"Actually, the judgment method is very simple. First of all, as the most numerous and lowest-level undead, the skeleton undead can hold few positions in the universal space... that is, the surface layer, and their income is very small. That coat, Wide-brimmed hats, boots, and handbags are not something that ordinary undead skeletons can afford. Obviously, these are work clothes, used for business negotiations. This outfit may be taller than his entire body. valuable."
"Secondly, this undead skeleton walks very quickly, faster than others, but his steps are a bit wandering. Does he look a bit like a drunkard with a hangover? In fact, according to my observation, he should also have walked earlier It was because of drinking..."
"Huh? How do the undead drink? Oh, the wine I'm talking about is not an alcoholic drink brewed from fruits and grains, but an alchemical product that is specially refined and processed by wandering unconscious souls, also known as soul wine. "
"The alchemical solution like soul wine has the same effect on the undead as alcohol has on humans. Look at the undead's mouth opening and closing, subconsciously muttering words such as 'compensation, liquidated damages, late payment fees' , this is the standard appearance of an alcoholic who keeps talking non-stop after the hangover has not completely faded away."
"To sum up, this undead skeleton is a typical social beast... ahem, a typical employee of the Chamber of Commerce!"
Faced with the expectant and adoring looks of the two ladies, who were full of little stars in their eyes, George couldn't help but feel a little carried away. Although on the surface he was explaining in a precise manner, in the end, he was so carried away that he almost spoke out the vocabulary of the earth.
Fortunately, the two ladies' attention has been diverted to other things, otherwise George would have to rack his brains to explain what a "social animal" is.
"Honey, look, what is that building?"
"Oh, that's the Tower of Darkness, the place where necromancy is practiced."
"Then...what about the building in the distance?"
"The mercenary union hall, where you receive branch lines... ahem, where you receive mercenary missions."
…
In this way, when George and his party arrived at the Palace of the Dead, talking and laughing all the way, and were preparing to tidy up their clothes and meet the long-lost Emperor Gaudos, they were unexpectedly told by the guard that the Emperor was out of town, and the specific time of his return was not yet known. We know that the only thing that is certain is that the emperor had already foreseen George's arrival, and specially left an encrypted magical oracle to George——
"Take as many people as you can, and stay as far away from the Undead Canopy as possible!"
The hairs stand on end,
shudder!
The laughter and laughter of the last second suddenly disappeared, and an extremely strong and ominous premonition surged into my heart!
What does it mean? !
Gaudos the Great,
What exactly do you want to tell me? !
On the way back to the city, George thought about this oral instruction over and over again, and after careful consideration, he finally found a note between the lines, with two words densely written on it——
crisis!
"Damn, it looks like the vacation time is over!"
George, who wanted to understand this, immediately took action! He first summoned his old subordinates scattered around, the vampires of the reapers.
But here, we must also mention a "little" mistake that George made previously:
In order to prevent their vacation from turning into a tragedy with hundreds of "blood-red light bulbs" following behind them, during the happy time when George took the two ladies around Alannorn, the reapers also received George's blessings. The group leader and Miss Sharna jointly approved the long vacation notice.
Of course, it is neither realistic nor scientific to allow hundreds of vampires to play freely in the elven empire that hates the undead. Ever since, in addition to Captain George and Miss Sirna who were traveling in Alannorn, the giant steel ship Noah's Ark carried the Reapers back to the Negras Empire intact, allowing them to I went to have fun in my hometown.
After all, including George, everyone believed that capturing the red dwarf was the last mission of the Reaper mercenary group, and confirming the life and death of Captain George was an unplanned additional mission spontaneously organized by the members.
Now that it has been confirmed that Captain George's life is safe, and that the guarding of the red dwarf and the follow-up reporting work do not require so many manpower, these vampire young masters and princesses naturally lose their reason to continue to crowd in the exclusive caravan of the mercenary group every day. With George's acquiescence, they swarmed back to their respective homes, each looking for their mother.
Then!
When George's summons was finally delivered to every corner of the empire, these young masters and princesses, who had been suppressing their true nature in the mercenary group and went home for a month, were completely immersed in the comfort of their families. The circle was unable to extricate itself and was almost "annihilated"!
Therefore, there were only a few hundred vampire warriors who finally responded to George's summons and came to assemble. Most of them were old faces who had followed George since the founding of the group, as well as heirs of big families such as Hamlet or Franklin. Especially the other direct descendants of the six major blood families, except for the three sisters Anne of the Asmodeus family, all are here!
Other families that had previously obstructed the rise of the Lucifer family in every possible way, actually took the initiative to let the direct heirs go this time?
Thinking of this, George smiled, but there was no smile on his face at all!
This is definitely not something you can do with your own appeal, so there is only one answer:
"It seems that the big families of the Vampire Clan have heard some rumors of the crisis...Emperor Gaudos, what happened?!"
Although he really wanted to take the members to the Negras Empire to understand the situation in depth, since it was an issue that even Emperor Gaudos found difficult, George still chose to follow the emperor's instructions very self-awarely.
Therefore, before escaping from this land of right and wrong in Noah's Ark, George's last stop must be to meet his adjutant, Helen Lucifer, in person!
