Chapter 494 The first human she met was actually Sister Ririsa.
Reading Settings
Without hesitation, the Lord of White Bone City continued his passionate brainwashing speech below.
The general idea is to find the missing Goddess of the Dead, so that she can lead the undead to invade the continent of Coral once again and wipe away the suffering caused by poverty and hunger to the poor.
Regardless of his true motives, Bai Xi was at least somewhat tempted by his words.
It's as if, after becoming a spirit, all worries and pain will disappear.
This is assuming we ignore the soul fires displayed on the trays at the banquet, and the fact that these soul fires are of a high level, indicating that they are not just low-level, ordinary undead products.
Instead, it is dropped by more powerful undead after they die.
Isn't this a disguised form of cannibalism?
However, it seems that in the eyes of the undead who prey on the strong, these are all normal things.
Bai Xi wouldn't judge whether it was right or wrong, but the Bone Lord's statement was definitely untenable, at least in her opinion.
"My Lord Demon King, I think if you were willing to help me steal the things, I would save myself a lot of trouble."
Looking down at the unusually large number of undead below, she felt that none of the plans she had made were very reliable. In the end, she silently spoke to Safa beside her.
"Oh? Does this mean you're begging me?"
Bai Xi had been indifferent the whole way, but when he suddenly heard Bai Xi say this, Safa raised an eyebrow and showed a somewhat interested expression.
"Yes, please."
Bai Xi said, "What is dignity? Can you eat it?"
With just a word, she could get the Demon King to work for her. How could that not be a perk? She would use him when needed and wouldn't give him up for the sake of so-called face or shame.
Perhaps not expecting Bai Xi to agree so readily, Safa visibly choked for a moment. Although he had long witnessed her shamelessness in every sense of the word, facing it directly still gave him a sense of disconnect.
At least the Bai Xi who used to be so afraid of him that she carefully considered her words and dared not speak carelessly would never dare to treat him like this.
Now I've completely stopped pretending.
"I refuse."
Safa curled his lips, his expression full of malice.
Bai Xi sighed. Just as she expected, asking this guy was just asking for humiliation. Fortunately, she had a good attitude and didn't feel hurt.
This time, I really have to figure it out myself.
Since Safa was going to be just a decorative figure, she didn't need to say anything more to him. She simply turned her head silently and began to observe the structure of the entire banquet hall.
The distribution of power among the targeted undead is quite obvious.
There were also different races among the undead in life, so those of the same race would gather together. Except for the lich, they did not get along well with other undead species.
Well... I should say that every lich is rather unsociable.
They don't like to talk or communicate with each other; to put it bluntly, they're shut-ins. They probably came to this banquet because they thought it would be profitable.
"They're going to have a bloody game about 'survival of the fittest' later, so it'll be good to steal something during the chaos."
Safa wasn't stupid either. Since entering, he had observed almost as much intelligence and information as Baixi, so when he saw Baixi seriously planning the raid route and escape route, he still spoke up to remind him.
"...No, I can't see it."
Bai Xi remained silent for a moment before rejecting Safa's offer.
If she could, she still wouldn't want to see that kind of scene. Besides, she herself was an undead who couldn't control her bloodlust. If she chose that time, she might lose her mind and start attacking indiscriminately.
"As expected, you're not completely cold-blooded."
Safa probed for the answer he wanted, his peach-blossom-like eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of a smile in them. Although Bai Xi appeared somewhat cold-blooded, he was indeed not.
He was in a good mood after successfully verifying his conjecture.
"No, it's just that I'm afraid of the trouble."
Bai Xi said calmly.
She was still observing the scene. Theoretically, the undead could pass through walls and had no physical form, but this city lord's mansion clearly had a barrier set up to prevent undead from entering to steal things and running away.
That means she currently only has one main entrance and one side entrance to use.
To do this in front of everyone, while carrying the 'ice crystal of despair', is truly quite difficult.
Her gaze swept aimlessly across the banquet hall, when suddenly her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, for among all the slaves bound by collars, she spotted an old acquaintance.
Of course, we're not that close, but we're at least somewhat related.
The woman's voluptuous figure was the envy of many. She was no longer wearing her sacred and noble nun's habit, but instead dressed in a tattered mercenary style. However, even in her yellowed and old clothes, her beauty could not be concealed.
In other words, she's so beautiful that she looks good even if you put a burlap sack over her head.
Perhaps because Bai Xi had been staring at her for too long, Rilisa seemed to sense it too. She looked up towards the second floor of the castle banquet hall, but she saw nothing.
In the end, all I could do was look away.
Bai Xi cast an invisibility spell on herself, and as for the Demon King, he had countless ways to prevent others from seeing him, so he didn't need to consider it at all.
Although Rilisa didn't catch a glimpse of Baixi, for a brief moment, the two almost made eye contact.
The head nun, whose intuition is terrifying, seems to have resigned from her position at the temple and chosen to travel on the continent of Coral on her own, but for some reason she was captured and brought here.
To be this unlucky is truly remarkable.
Bai Xi silently made her judgment in her heart.
Perhaps it was out of nostalgia for her memories of her past life, but Bai Xi suddenly felt an urge to rescue her. She had been asleep for two whole years, and perhaps many things had happened outside that she was unaware of. It would be a good opportunity to ask Rilisa.
I wonder if Rilisa will still recognize her after she loses her status and appearance as a saint.
Are you interested in that woman?
Safa naturally observed Bai Xi's micro-expressions, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.
"Does the Demon King not know?"
Bai Xi thought the Demon King would know Rilisa's identity. After all, the temple's main fighting force consisted of only a few people. Would a demon not know this?
It turns out he really didn't know.
You can tell just by looking at their expressions.
"Know what?"
Safa raised an eyebrow, looking like he was waiting for Baixi to explain.
"nothing."
Her gaze shifted from Safa's face back to the banquet.
Presumably, Safa wouldn't care that much about a human, and it wouldn't matter whether he told him or not about trivial matters.
Seeing that Baishi had no intention of explaining, Safa did not press the matter further.
At that time, Rilisa had already lowered her head and obediently followed a necromancer lord who looked like a human. She was so obedient that she really looked like a pet. It was unknown how long she had been captured.
